Re: Inchin: Endgame
Frank Round Five
Frank arrives at the threshold of Polly's suite. A falxman lies just within. He is clearly dead because while his body is face down – his head isn't.
Frank is confronted by a strange tableau inside the suite. Another falxman flails wildly about himself seemingly oblivious to Polly and Sazanami. Moving with a lithe grace and armed with a bloodied war fan Polly stalks him with predatory focus. Sazanami silently moves in from the other flank but seems to be hanging back to let Polly engage.
At Frank's challenge the falxman's head snaps round and he charges (mostly) in Frank's direction slashing frenziedly with his weapon.

Prerna Round Five
Fast Eddie helps Ms Vitt painfully limp away. The servants likewise need no second bidding and gratefully stream away to the safety of the merc officers' quarters. Mr. Solomon brings out the entire Collace Merchants' delegation together with Prof Benson. They all join the exodus.
Prerna finds the multi function room to be an empty void and a cautious knock at the suite's door reveals the humourless faces of Wint and Kidd covering Prerna with an assault shotgun and an underslung handgun. Drace Keening is also within together with the two Collace union men who protest about the “room invasion” carried out by fascist Corporate thugs.
Kidd flatly reports “We've seen about ten fanatics with home made swords and grenades – no body armour. They're wet - must have infiltrated through the water system. They're shy with their grenades in here but it seems not so much with you? What are the tac options for optimising protection for Mr. Keening?”

Jess Round Five
Gaughan replies soberly “From what I can tell the Guard had no warning like you did. The barracks were hit good and hard. The good officers died while the bad ones ran. The brig's been burst open and the pirates are roaming loose. My lads are holed up in our med bay - I'm going to fetch them. Will you be careful while I'm gone?”
He throws his tunic to Pte. King who is halfway into it before he is paralysed by the big Sergeant's glare “It's for Miss Mallory – ye little bollox!” Gaughan hefts his falx and borrowed ACR and grimly sets off westwards.
Caxton comes up and organises the team. He deputises Camp Freddie to “assist” Jess and says “Ma'am, I'm duty bound to suggest you see a medic so that's it said. A good QSM's an expensive article to replace. We'll secure the Diplomats”. He turns and orders “Charlie boy, take your squad up there and find the Colonel”.
The relief force immediately surges up the corridor soon catching up to Ensign Mallory/Liv's covering position. The team move with deliberate military purpose and swiftly secure the ground albeit accompanied by their own inane commentary.
“Awright, Miss Mallory, ma'am. We'll take it from 'ere. Kingy … Kingy! Give 'er the ruddy jacket!!!”
“Movin'. Kingy have you done yer back in?”
“Cover. Nah, ruddy chaffing – it's me fekkin' fong! Lend us yer bayonet – I'm goin' commando!”

Re: Inchin: Endgame
Prerna clamps her jaw shut to stifle a scathing reply. "You all stay here until the Colonel says differently. Leave before then, and we won't guarantee your safety." With that, she steps back from the doorway, and continues her sweep northward.Tiglath wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 10:46 pm Prerna Round Five

Frank
Worried about blue-on-blue, and not wishing to spoil the melee aesthetic set by the clan (it would be churlish to bring a gun to this knife fight), Frank switches to his cutlass and waits for the wild charging Falxman to come to him before he attacks.
I'm assuming that waiting for the loony Falxman (who appears to have vision issues) to come to him is the logical thing to do

Frank in response to Jess
"Beau, help Gaughan find the guard. Jess, let Gaughan know help is coming. Voss, if you can spare someone, send them to support Dog"
is this happens next round, then fair enough, there is a Falxman to fight

Responding to orders from Voss Private Love jogs southwards to pair up with Private Dog in the south corridor (near the garage).
Beau doubles westwards after Gaughan and heads into the pool area.

Freya Round Six
Freya sees the two insurgents turn and hurry back up the stairwell via her drone's video feed. One is armed with a falx the other may have a hand grenade. They are currently out of her direct line of fire unless she elects to lean out into the stairwell.

Re: Inchin: Endgame
Jess Round Six
Jess hasn't yet found a speed of ambulation that doesn't hurt like hell but manages to reach the end of the north/south corridor and checking in with Dog (covering westwards) then hobbles to the lift/stair foyer and into the stairwell. She immediately realises that stairs are not going to be kind to her injuries. She can hear hurried movement form the stairwell below.
In answer to her enquiry Freddie states “Mags, three – one of each and one smoke and one frag”. Jess knows Freddie will also have his bayonet, likely at least one more blade and a close range pistol - he's from Collace.

Frank Round Six
Linked into the unit battle computer Frank rattles off orders as the falxman edges forwards. Encouraged either by the ability to target Frank's voice or an improvement in his eyesight the man goes for a mighty two handed strike. Frank dodges the well telegraphed blow and slides his riposte through his attacker's ribs. Efficiently run through the falxman collapses earning Frank a small nod from Sazanami. Polly stalks across the suite wearing a bright smile and, fortunately, remembers to close the monofilament edged blades of her war fan before embracing Frank. She beams breathlessly “I wasn't worried - I knew you would come!”

Prerna Round Six
“Ma'am, Recon Team at your six” Prerna turns to see Baker and Easy shoving their way through those escaping the VIP area. They are both armoured, with full gear and armed with their sniper variant ACRs.
Pushing forward (northwards) she sees that the stateroom to her front left is empty – likely vacated by SuSAG. A brief tactical search by Easy confirms no hostiles inside.
Nearing the junction with the "top" (East/West) corridor she sees that the NW corner stateroom has had its door forced open and there are sounds of disturbance from within. She then checks east and does a tactical double take when she spots two insurgents seemingly crouched outside the NE corner stateroom door. A second look tells her that it appears these two made the fatal error of standing in front of the door when a high volume of AP rounds were fired through it from inside the stateroom.
On comms Prerna is aware of Frank and the cavalry troop advancing northwards and parallel to her in the other corridor.

Re: Inchin: Endgame
Prerna considers stopping to put on her top, but a quick glance downward reveals speckles of blood on her bare chest. Better to wash first, rather than having that in her suit, she determines. She points to the door where the disturbance is coming from. "Check it out, but really watch for friendlies." She covers her team's backs as they advance.Tiglath wrote: ↑Fri Feb 19, 2021 12:29 am Prerna Round Six

Re: Inchin: Endgame
Frank returns Polly's embrace and smiles "I'm just sorry I didn't get here sooner, although it looks like you've done rather well on your own"
He steps back and nods at Sazanami before cleaning his sword on the fallen falxman. "Now, let's get you to safety while we finish sweeping the area. Head left to the officers quarters, we've set up a secure area by the med-bay. I will be there as soon as everyone is safe."
Once Polly and Sazanami are heading to safety Frank will rejoin Liv and Jess's squad and continue on up towards the NE rooms.

Frank Round Six (Addendum)
Polly purrs "I have been well taught".
As Frank returns to the main corridor and Polly and Sazanami retire to safety Frank sees the cavalry troopers have held their advance at the junction. He sees two insurgents seemingly crouched outside the NE corner stateroom door. It appears these two made the fatal error of standing in front of the door when a high volume of AP rounds were fired through it from inside the stateroom. Both men are dead.
Frank is aware of Prerna's recon team advancing northwards and parallel in the other corridor. Indeed they have also reached their junction with the "top" East/West corridor so are as far north as Frank's team.

The drone heads up and out of blast-radius.
I'll sight carefully in case they reveal themselves, but be prepared to duck should I see a grenade come out...
How thick are these stairs? Would they be impervious to gauss rifle rounds or would the round pass straight through? If thin enough to pass through I'll consider that option for for round eight.
Jess...where are you? Did you bring grenades?
