You find several tabs, labeled:

OPERATION ANVIL

COHORT

FAUST

11

Dab looks over the screen and sees several tabs with subjects on them, most of them are actual words or names save one. The tab is simply marked as '11', no possible logical sense is behind this number and the fact that its the only number makes it stand out. Upon reasoning that "Operation Anvil" is the name of the attack being carried out, Dab feels less inclined to look at it due to the engineer giving away the objective of the mission. Cohort and Faust are either the specific names of targets for the mission or names of operatives, Dab reasons as he decided to search into the tab labeled "11".

As he touches the pad to open the file he glances back over at the dead UN soldier in the transport, "Thank you for your help, in death you chose the better path." Dab says as he raises the tablet towards the body. The body's head rocked forward as if it was nodding, causing Dab to step back and wonder if that was just the wind or some final ligament snapping to let the head roll. Either way, Dab quickly focused back onto the tablet and begins to glance over the information inside.

OOC: I decided that the 11 tab sounded the most different so I wanted to open it first. Please tell me that it says something incredible.

After fly caturized the wounds he walked over to James. Taking a deep breath he extrcted the bullet and patched him up."Hurry, I don't want foley to die because I chose wrong."

**Darkvoidof40k**

Jake scanned the surrounding area; satisfied they were in the clear for the meantime, he headed back over to the others.
"We're good for now, but we need to move. This place is crawling with those Conclave bastards and it's only so long until more come. We need a plan of action; and I'd say getting out of this hell-hole is a good idea. We're no good dead."

Having made his report and stated his opinion, he walked over to the nearest dead Enforcer and crouched over the corpse. He slung his rifle over his back and picked up a shotgun, as many 12 Gauge shells as he could find and some nerve gas grenades.

His scavenging done, he turned back to the others.

"What's our plan of action?"

OOC: I've forgotten who most of the characters are/who's with Jake.. somebody please gimme some help?

:Facepalm:

**TheWildHost**

"Toss me a shotgun and someshells(Good thinking) Maybe 10-15" Fly said"And I agree this place is horrible."He said walking back to the hidden room and getting a pack of shells."We need to find that other sqaud, if they are alive."

**Darkvoidof40k**

OOC: So what's going on dudes? This thread has grinded to a halt again..

**darksage**

James hurried over to Foley trying to make fix her critical condition. OOC Mordo, I normally role for these things.

Taylor nods in the direction of Fly, his face a grim mask. "You're right, we don't stand much of a chance on our own. As our radio's down, we'll have to meet up with them. The closest squad from Group Beta is about a mile away, if we hurry, we can get there without any serious trouble."

The file appears to be under heavy encryption, and you are unable to access it.

(Chimera 19)

You successfully sneak through the Industrial Zone, coming across a horrific sight. Several nonstandards are engaged in bloody combat with a group of terribly malformed creatures, each one with their arms terminating in scythe-like blades, slashing and disemboweling the nonstandards.

**halonachos**

Are the terribly malformed creatures on our side, or are they some of the creatures from Lazarus?

As to the encrypted file, can an engineer look it over and decrypt it for me?

James quickly seals up the ruined arteries with the laser, and the freakishly pleasant smell of burning flesh wafts through the room, stopping the torrent of blood. Foaly is now stable, and her breathing is regular.

(Say thank you, Mortified!)

Question 1) I can't say.
Question 2) You can have an Engineer attempt to hack into the device.

**Mordoskul**

(Chimera 19)

You cannot find any ranged weapons, but your search causes one of the creatures, now having killed their prey, to turn it's head around towards you. The awful thing cocks it's head, as if it can see you clearly despite your cloak, then it the rest of the gruesome pack vanish into the night with chittering cries.

I want an engineer to decrypt the tablet before I end up having it smashed. Do I have to pick which guy I want Dab to talk to?

"I will carry her if you want but it might be a better idea for someone else,

the servos in macs PLEX armour come back to life whining and make arching noises and begin to retract his head out of his ribcage as a little voice is looping in his helmet * critical condition critical condition critical condition* after a few more seconds of screeching macs head is completely free of his ribcage and he slowly become conscious again.

**NHnighthawk13x**

James looks over in apathetic disbelief. "Weirder things have happened. Alright lets go meet up with the other squad."

**TheWildHost**

"Dez I will take her" Fly offers
