It has been a while since you posted. If you do not make any more contributions within the next week I will be forced to sieze control of you as NPCs, which will likely end in the death of your character.

About damn time.

Aygapus is currently on a rampage if thats of any help

@EF: Can't agree more with you. We may have some wounded (including me) and it's best to bundle our strengths.

*Waiting for Slavro to meet up with us.*

Just to clear things up for my post, has Avare's entire team reached the hideout? If so, which side are they on? Slavro, Furn and Flickers, or Agyphus, Ronan and Wilson's side?

We're on the north side of the building.

((ooc. Ronan and Wilson have moved directly west of our pictured position on page 14. We're inside the nearest building to us and will be entering the Underground network in a few posts once the story's back on track. Unless our distraction tactics force us to remain above ground. Aygapus is on a rampage so be warned ... he could be anywhere, lol))

((I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing, so I'll just post this))

Character: Slavro, Flicker / team fallen
Location: North-East (I think) of Crimson Jackal hideout
Situation:

Slavro swung the butt of his rifle upwards, catching the juve in the jaw, shattering his teeth. The juve, no older than 14 years, collapsed on the ground, trying to hold the blood and teeth inside his mouth. A brute of a man charged into the room, smashing the loosely hanging door out of his way. His entire arm was made of a low grade bionic, ending in a saw blade. He swung the buzzing machine at Slavro, barely missing him. Thick smoke choking the small room. Slavro flicked his gun to full auto, and sprayed his assailant with high powered las shots. Slavro turned back to the boy, he was crying in the corner, with his hands over his mouth. Slavro reached for his bolt pistol.

Flicker crept along the perimeter fence, all hell has broken loose. The team was split up and out numbered, Flicker didn't even know what he was supposed to do, kill people? He could do that, only thing he could do. He spotted Soric across the rubble. He waved at his team mate, but got no response. Probably didn't see me, he thought.
"RELOAD THAT FETHING THING!"
Flicker flinched at the order, there was a machine gun emplacement right above his head. Flicker crept along the man made bank, and crawled up into the opening. 3 men, armed, distracted. Flicker slid his knife from its holder. They were untrained with the gun, they had no problem shooting the thing, but had no idea how to reload it. Flicker crept to the biggest one, the one given the orders. He cut the back of his knees out, as he fell to his knees, in shock, flicker swung around to his 2 companions. He drove his knife into the head of his first assailant, the second one grabbed a nearby rock and charged at Flicker. The biggest one turned, and grabbed Flicker around the waist. DOOF, Flicker got knocked the f*** out.


Thats right, Slavro knocked the crap out of a 14 year old.

Character:Rally Jager
Location: north side entrance
Situation: Dynamic entry
Rally slammed against the side wall into cover from the various small arms fire.
*nothing like the smell of gunpowder ahhhhh.... woah cant space out now...*
She looked over to the junior inquisitor, "Ma-am you okay?" she said seeing the knife wound
she turned and shot a ganger crawling up behind the group before switching her clips.
"I await your orders to begin the door breach Ma-am" she said unstrapping her shield and shot gun and setting them in preparation to smash through the door.
(Ooc just give the word boss, I want to wait for the rest of the guys to catch up)

Character: Soric
Location: Hideout North
Situation: Covering Slavro and Flicker.

Soric saw Flicker wave at him, but Soric's attention was somewhere else. The stubber emplacement above Slavro and Flicker. The crew was fumbling with the weapon, and Soric wanted to shoot the three, but he saw Flicker climbing up on the unexpecting gangers. He decided to let Flicker do the job, and watched as he cut the first one's knees from under him. Not much later Flicker got in trouble. The two other gangers knocked him down, and dropped him to the ground. With Flicker out of the way, Soric brought up his Auto-Pistol, and emptied his entire remaining clip into the two gangers. Five Pistol Rounds rammed into the two gangers, killing the smaller one instantly, but only bringing the big one to his knees. Quickly reloading, he finished the bullish ganger with a pistol round to the head.

Soric already was down to only two clips of ammo, and he scavenged another pair of clips he found on a dead ganger nearby. He tucked the clips with the rest in his ammo pouches attached to his belt.

Soric pressed his vox bead again, this time tuning in on Slavro's channel.

"Slavro, get the hell over here, finish what you're doing. We're going underground."

What Slavro did to the young boy, Soric didn't know. He'd seen him knock down the poor kid, and draw a bolt pistol, but from this distance, and the loud noise generated from the underhive, Soric didn't hear a bolt shell being fired.

"Acknowledged." Slavro voxed back. "Let me just get Flicker."

"Leave him." Soric replied. "We'll pick him up later. We got a priority."

With that, Soric cut the link. He forgot he wasn't a captain anymore, and handled out of a captain's instinct. It wouldn't surprise Soric if Slavro would go after Flicker first, then reprimand Soric for giving orders to one of higher rank. He pushed these thoughts away, as the sound of gunfire dragged him back to what he was supposed to do, getting the manservant out.

@dragonjaj: I know, that is why I posted that Slavro's team were now inside the building (I assume they entered through your new doorway) when Team Regent moved in to support them.


OOC: As of now, Team Regent and Slavro's Team have cleared the gangers in the immediate area (by beating the gak out of any gangers who happen to be 14+ or older). Other gangers may be on their way, but a fair few are more likely to be either heading towards Agyapus/Ronan/Wilson or chasing a servo-skull around the sacrificial chamber. This post is the two teams meeting up and becoming a single unit. Our immediate objective is to head underground and get to the chamber. Expect messy, and confusing, underground firefights from here on in. Casualities like Flicker (whether dead or unconcious) will be left behind.
Toaste, please I can't take you seriously with sound effects like DOOF!

@Darkvoid: Although you've posted here often enough (which means you at least are paying attention to the thread), Khan rarely gets a mention. If possible I'd like to see more from you as well, perhaps demonstrating his psyker abilities?

@Scrazza: I think Resien meant me when she said cheif (I was wounded in my previous post). But I'm not sure. We are bound to come into contact with the gang leader sooner or later, and he's definitely going to be a mean SoaB. Interesting challenge of authority there, it falls in with what Avare would do, but how will Slavro react?

@Resien: I feel that we should simply regroup at the moment, we have a moment of breathing space to regroup before rushing underground.



Character: Avare
Location: Northern area of the Compound
Situation: Having Team Regent and Slavro's half of Team Fallen meet up


The pain in her side was still there, Avare noticed. She had bitten her tounge as Sister Lucia had looked over her, but the stimulants had soon worked their magic. She could actually feel them swiftly clotting over the wound as well as energising Avare, effectively getting her back in the game. There would be a scar, but it was just another scar to Avare, it was nothing when measured up against the mission. It still hurted like a grox-bite, though. She looked at the progess her fellow henchmen had made.

"Ma-am, you okay?" Proctor Jager quizzed as she leaned against the cover of a ruined wall. Avare nodded, the pain was grinding down into a dull ache, and her head was clearing at least. Rally Jager returned the nod before she leant out of cover to dispatch a ganger.

The last ganger in the street, a burly bald-headed brute dressed in tattered rags, collapsed to the ground. He made a weak gurgling noise as the Arbite advanced and put another round in his chest to make sure of his demise. Soric and the two Inquisitorial Storm Troopers were searching the bodies, quickly stripping them of any useful gear, and executing any of those stupid or unfortunate enough to show signs of life with quick, low-powered and efficient shots to the head. The two Stormtroopers had fallen behind the Ouisan ex-captain naturally, as soldiers sometimes did when they saw a natural leader. Avare admired their competence as they stripped the bodies, they were likely low on supplies after all, but they had to push on. Every second they stayed here was a second the manservant didn't have.

"Soric, get Slavro over here. I want a sitrep now." The Ouisan nodded before voxing Avare's request. Avared tuned her commbead into Engineseer Holtz's line. "Engineseer, give me an update of the situation in the chamber."

To the south another explosion rumbled, falmes illuminating the dimly-lit sub level.

Character: Brother Ronan, Team Fallen
Location: South section of the hideout
Situation: Trying to make a bigger noise


Ronan moved ahead, leaving Wilson behind to catch up in his own time as he went down one of the corridors leading off from the broken gun emplacement. He hugged the wall as he followed the corridor, hearing hushed voices coming from up ahead at the end of the corridor and recognising two distinct voices. Clearly they had either heard the ruckass and had just arrived and were readying themselves to confront Ronan or, they had seen everything and had decided against a direct confrontation, their hushed arguement seemed to confirm the latter.

He halted his advance and pointed his boltgun towards the door frame, hunching down for better aim and moving the gun slightly to the right of the doorframe where he could see the slight outline of the gangers arm. Pressing the trigger his boltgun errupted, bolts flashed from the muzzle and pounded into the wall and doorframe, ripping through with ease at the ganger on the otherside. Body parts splattered as the bolts struck into the back of his torso, ripping the hapless ganger to shreds. The second ganger stumbled into view in the doorway, his pistol poorly pointed towards Ronan as he stumbled across trying to shoot him in a rushed fashion as Ronan's bolts caught him in the mid-drift and ripped open half his torso.

Several shots whizzed past Ronan as the second gangers body fell to the floor fatally wounded. Seeing all was clear Ronan leaned forward preparing to move when his hearing picked up a strange sound, a hissing noise right near him. His face hardened as he whipped his head to the right, seeing a large cylinder bottle. "KRELL!!" he yelled as he swung his body round to the left, using his back as a shield and tucking his head down as a metal ripping explosion sounded as whatever was inside ignited.

The sound pierced his ears and he felt a searing heat go over his back as it rose outward then up to the ceiling and leaving a giant hole in the wall and floor where the cyclinder was, the top half of it split open like a peeled banana. His armour had thankfully kept off the worst of it but he felt his skin tightening as it burned from the intense heat that has washed over him and knew it would leave its mark as it healed. He stayed in his hunched position for a few moments more as the flames disapated, the corridor still awash with heat and anything flamable was flaming quietly in the rubble strewn corridor and making the corridor more eluminated. He grunted in displeasure and turned to look round, seeing the split cylinder still simmering from what ever gases and gunk still remained inside.

Just as he went to stand his world tipped sideways, the floor of the corridor gave way and tipped into the tunnel complex below. Poorly constructed beams gave way from the explosion that had rippled above, causing the roof of the tunnel to collapse in on itself and the corridor along with Ronan fell down with it.

...
...

Everything went silent, Ronan laying on his back listened to the only sound enemating from the chamber, the trickle of small stones and rubble clattering as everything settled. There was rubble all around him, he was laying ontop of most of it and he was almost completely grey from the dust. He sat up slowly, the silent room made noisy again as he disturbed the loose rubble which clattered and tumbled down the pile he was laying in. He looked up, he could just about tell through the gloomy darkness that he had fallen 2 floors down. The room he was in was extremely large, far too large to support the weight from everything built above so no wonder it had collapsed. As he moved he got a pain in his right knee, he knew he had dislocated his bionic leg and grunted loudly as he held his leg and twisted, forcing the bones and metal back in place with a loud crack. At least he could walk on it, albiet it with less speed. If he had been a mere human the injury would have been crippling, he would ensure he sought medical treatment from the techpriest as soon as he was able.

He moved his hand to his comm unit "This is Ronan, I am inside the south underground of the hideout, plans to distract the enemy have had a setback" he said matter-of-fact, then paused, looking to one end of the wide room where several crude boxes and cylinders of all manner were being stored in an extremely unsafe manner. He pressed his comm's unit again "However i might have a new distraction"

I kid, please continue your shenanigans...


Character: Mikal, Team Fallen
Location: Observation Post
Situation: Continuing diversion tactics

Mikal's hands were a flurry of activity as he continued to dance the servo skull around the sacrificial chamber. In the past few minutes, several cultists had either fled the room, rushed into the room upon hearing the noises, or left chasing their sacrifices as some made a break for it. Mikal checked the position of the manservant briefly and saw that the man was cowering behind the biggest, sturdiest piece of cover he could find. Mikal also watched as a few cultists made their way to the pit to investigate the screams of the ritual master that were coming from below. Apparently, the man was still alive and the cultists crowded on the platform were desperately trying to find a way to get their comrade up. Mikal smiled as he saw the set up of yet another setback for the cultists, on the next pass of the skull, he piloted the thing into the back of one and knocked him in as well.

Mikal would like to say that his probe had gotten away scot free but after that collision, the thrusters gave out and the skull fell into the pit with the other two. Mikal tried vainly to get the skull functioning again but to no avail, dissapointed, there was only one thing he could do, he entered the code for the skull's self destruction and with a prayer of thanks and a heart felt plea of forgiveness to the skull's valiant machine spirit, he pressed the activation rune on the keyboard and in another ten seconds, amongst the shouts of the cultists, the device exploded brilliantly, sending shrapnel and flame shooting out of the pit and no doubt putting the fear of the Imperial inquisition into the cultists. With that, Mikal checked his other drones who were busy flying over the ganger's fortress. He could see that the two teams had closed in considerably since he had last checked.

He could not concentrate on the team's progress though, as the first team member to have made contact with the manservant, it was his duty to regain another eye into the chamber. He took direct control of another probe and began its descent into the fort, by now, every single ganger's attention was on the attack outside and so none noticed the small skull floating towards the same underground entrance. With skill, Mikal piloted the probe back through the underground passages and, to his delight, saw that the cultists below ground were in disarray, many ran this way and that, guns drawn, shouting to each other about an attack coming from underground or such things as ghosts, the episodes of fear and confusion the ganger's exhumed pleased Mikal as he snuck his probe around corners and finally back to the chamber, as the probe entered the chamber, the first thing he noticed was a distinct lack of cultists in the room. Mikal surmised that the explosion must have scared them all into fleeing the room.

"Engineseer, give me an update of the situation in the chamber." Mikal heard in his ear, it was the Lady Avare.

"Well, through the sacrifice of one of the probes, I have successfully been able to....divert the cultists attentions from the ritual, Ma'am" Mikal said, unsure of how he should put his antics into words. "As of now the manservant is in no danger and....well, you may understand better if you look at the video feed, Lady Avare."

With that, Mikal had his probe do a once around of the room, the walls were now covered in shot holes, but was for the most part, empty, Mikal took a look at the sacrificial pit, to his satisfaction the entirety of it had been scorched from the explosion of the probe, so, in his own way, he had helped to purge the unholy thing from existence. In the darkness, Mikal found the manservant, still hiding behind the crates that he had been behind for the past few minutes, he floated the probe towards the crate and had it hover at head height, with that, he activated the speakers on the skull and directed its feed into his own vox.

"Greetings, my name is Engineseer Mikal." He said formally to the shaking manservant. "I have come to your aid in behest of an imperial investigation, please do not move, my comrades will be here shortly to see that you are safely escorted out of the area."

(Okay, not much dialogue between me and the manservant but then again I really don't know his character, so......)

Mhm.

I've just woken up for the second time today. Goddamn sleep depravation.

Character: Brother Aygapus (Team Fallen)
Location: Gangers hideout.
Situation: Man down.

“All…all units….this is Red Bull. I’m under heavy suppressing fire from gangers. Down to my last round, am bleeding from twenty seven…no, twenty eight external wounds. Son of a bitch that hurts.
...there’s…there’s some kind of light at the end of this passageway. If I can push through these gangers I’ll investigate. Contact the Kra…no, no the Krata isn’t here. Go. Push on without me. I’ll see you all at the side of the Throne.
Red Bull, out.”
