Beau links up with Frank and reports "I'm surely glad to be back, sir! That was some bad business back there: the insurgents caught the Guard cold and then their officers let them down. I'd say they're finished as a fighting unit". He continues "There was an attack on the hospital wing. Sergeant Gaughan and his men didn't take kindly to that and became... deranged". He trails off then hastily adds "They are good men, sir. They fight hard but will follow only Gaughan and the other big fellow Lannigan. It seems they have declared themselves to now be outside the Guard command structure, sir".

Freddie - You're a dear and I could kiss you!Tiglath wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 10:39 pm Freya
"Come on, Miss Freya, now - there's a love" Freddie takes her hand and leads her a little way until he bids her kneel down. He then gently removes her hood and googles and, after what might be a medico/exploratory prod or two, begins to clean her wound with an abundant supply of water.
Freya realises they must be at the edge of the pool she saw to her right from the doorway. Having washed enough blood away to restore her eyesight Freddie then mops the area dry before spraying on "one shot" aerosols of disinfectant, clotting agent and then wound dressing. The result is no great improvement to Freya's vision but her wound seems to have stopped bleeding.
Freddie fishes in Freya's hood and handing her the spent round quips "Here you go - didn't have your name on it!"
Did Prerna get a locus for the shot?Tiglath wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 11:24 pm Prerna
As Prerna and Easy move through the northern hatch towards the snack bar a rifle grenade slams into the pathway and explodes far too close to them. Fortunately neither are either directly hit or injured by the fragmentation. Both dive left towards the snack bar and Easy kicks open the door under the stairs to reveal a toilet. She ruefully glances north and mutters grimly "We need a door!" Calling "Fire in the sh!thole!" she primes a "homewrecker" and, rolling it into the latrine, huddles into cover.

"Thank you Freddie. Ms Ingriddsdottir, I'm glad you're not seriously wounded, but please refrain from rushing ahead in the future"

He adds "My group and Gaughan's men were holding the attackers when they suddenly started to pull out. Gaughan's men pursued them and with the men I had I managed to keep in contact. Both our units are pretty much fought out, sir".
The Guard forces fall into two clear groups. There are tankers and other rear echelon types who, without Beau's leadership, are already milling about. Then there are Gaughan's men who form a separate and distinct group - nearly all are wounded.
"Copy that. We're headed upstairs to engage them." She switches to her team channel. "Easy, come with me. We're going upstairs." When Easy is ready, Prerna leads her up the stairs and into the nearest concealment/cover available on the upper level at a dead run.Tiglath wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 11:42 pm Prerna
Baker reports that he saw nothing and Prerna deduces that one reason for being missed might be a narrow "window" for the shot. She deduces that the firer was likely due north of the hatch and engaged as Prerna and Easy became briefly visible on the road. Even just relying on a frag hit was a sound bet (and probably should have paid dividends with a high tech grenade) but she and Easy got off lightly. However, she can now conclude that the firer likely has covering fire on the hatch.
On her comm she hears "Major Nayar, Mike. Myself and King are at the hatch that you just went through. We're on the east side - we're going to try to spot that grenadier before we come through".
