Tarsus para bellum

[Tiglath]

Dzofin T'lia and Frank

Dzofin immediately howled and charged the five men with his submachine gun in one hand and his newer submachine gun in the other. He howled, baring his teeth and shouting. "The Kforuzeng pirates are upon you! I am Dzenae Ungogz, 'Anuekhs An Gzoug - the Flame that Burns' and my band of corsairs and mercenaries will slaughter you! Surrender or we will tear your bodies open with our teeth and claws and eat your still beating hearts!" If any of them move toward a weapon he will auto fire his silenced SMG.

The humans without armour are suitably cowed by Dzofin's display one of them makes a mewling noise. The SuSAG Guard with only more marginally impressive epaulettes (but frankly quite pathetic and merely indicative of absolutely no effort on the bearer's behalf save printing off the "tailor's brief" which everyone knows is but a guideline ) says "You..." and T'lia puts a three round burst through his face. She coldly asks "Any more questions?"

She then says to the humans "You'll be safe in the Exec Quarters! Run, run!" The now four humans bolt eastwards down the long corridor as T'lia lopes after them with her rifle now at the easier/less focussed combat carry.

She asides to Dzofin in Kforuzeng dialect Gvegh "Impressive - but he's usually more succinct. Meanwhile let them run - the chase is on!"

Prerna

Prerna

The approach to the access door to the "Bridge Quadrant" is cleared and secured.

Note the construction of the Bridge "Citadel" - it has an armour glass window to front and iris valve controlled access.

Prerna puts down her ACR and unlimbers her heavy gauss rifle. "Recon Team ready for support," she calls on both her team channel and the command channel. "I can try taking out the windows, if needed."

Flinging you a Tactics/Int roll (+Navy +Int +Eng +Tactics)

For a universally armoured "Citadel" the "Armourglass" is going to be the same protection (AV Armour Value) as the protecting Iris Valves.

Fortunately you have Kit's section humping Breaching Charges designed just for that purpose...

Corporate psychology may have influenced the design and styling here but if a charge successfully defeats the "minion watching window" then those inside are going to be enjoying an awful lot of high velocity glass...

[Tiglath]

Kit

Kit will have the Sgt's squad supporting Prerna's team until we get to the next T intersection. We will flank out through the Waiting/Observation area and start clearing the upper area and meet Prerna's team on the other side of the door. (see proposed route)

Passing behind the Scout/Snipers Kit leads his section north then east. He finds himself in the "Waiting/Observation" corridor. His team find a headshot SuSAG Corporate Guard and can see Colonel Cross then Flt Lt T'lia and the dodgy Vargr running east in pursuit of station personnel.

Regardless of that odd distraction Kit's section smoothly stack up covering the access door to the Bridge Quadrant. He knows from the briefing and his studies of the plans that this is where his team's Breaching Charges may well be needed. With no alarm yet sounded the quadrant dividing pressure door remains ready to be opened at a touch.

(OOC: So exactly as per your drawn route (thank you! ) but not yet through the final door).

A Happy Heads Up!

Where we all are now:

Frank and Dzofin

Dzofin is panting but his tail was wagging as the humans break and run away. He growls as his instincts urgently call for a chase. He grins at T'lia with teeth and replies in the same guttural dialect of Gvegh. "I'm still learning!" He howls and then runs down the passageway with his ears perked up

Kit

Kit and the team will continue to follow the course and once through the next door will start clearing rooms.

Frank

Slightly surprised by T'lia's direction, Frank stops and decides to join Kit's team.

Driving a group of panicking humans eastwards just ahead of the F for Frank.

Driving a group of panicking humans eastwards just ahead of the F for Frank.

Prerna holds her team until Klaus starts his assault on the bridge.

[dongriffiths]

Klaus

Klaus and Naffo procede cautiously round the fuel storage to approach the far bridge access.

Rest of the team move up to the near side.

Intent is to try open both iris together, if successful toss in 2 stun grenades from each side. If the iris doesn't open main team will use a breaching charge. Klaus and Naffo will retreat slightly and neutralise anyone trying to flee.

Freya leaves her drone by the body of the dead operative (so as to allow it to observe the approaches to the control room) and checks to see what the logged on terminal can do...


I'm in the landing control office and have access to their computers...checking out capabilities now she transmits to the rest of the team

Freya finds she has control of Flight Ops, the outer bay doors, all access doors to/from the hangar (with accessible visual reference from door mounted cams) and hangar environmental controls / life support. There are overrides possible from the Facility Bridge but she might be able to put in a "workaround" to deny that or use the compromised access that she already has to further penetrate the Facility systems.

Freya notes that the ex-duty guy may have been distracting himself with a double bill of entertainment from the Collace based "Grumble Flick Studios" entitled "Sugar Rides Again" and "Sugar Pulls It Off". No doubt titles from the "Adventure" genre...

You're definitely "in" as far as hacking this system goes.

Please pitch the bones once more if you wish to perform further furtive facilitation...

Klaus

Klaus and Naffo procede cautiously round the fuel storage to approach the far bridge access.

Rest of the team move up to the near side.

Intent is to try open both iris together, if successful toss in 2 stun grenades from each side. If the iris doesn't open main team will use a breaching charge. Klaus and Naffo will retreat slightly and neutralise anyone trying to flee.

Klaus and Naffo skirt "east" around the fuel storage and travel "north" to take post on the far side of the bridge. As they do so they see that the hatchway in the bulkhead to the next quadrant is open and will likely remain so unless overridden. This is because the body of a Rond Facility crewman lies across the hatch threshold. He is quite dead (apparently from acute vertebral derangement of the C5 and C6) as his head seems to be on backwards.

Upon the curt report from Reda Sigesson "Valve locked. Breaching" the pair try the manual entry at their side and find the iris valve shows "Restricted Access". Venner's voice then declares "Charge set. Check cover. Blasting in three". He lapses into local dialect to provide his own timing "Vive la mort, vive la guerre, vive le sacré mercenaire". Immediately Klaus and Naffo feel a slight tremor through the floor as they cover their iris valve and Venner's local dialect over the comm "Allez!"

Fifteen seconds later Reda calls "Bridge secure. Friendlies exiting". The iris valve opens and he leads the rest of the team out to rejoin with Klaus. Venner adds over the command channel "Bridge secure, four Tangos KIA. At least one viable command console still active and open... I have station environment... and security... but Exec Area seems to run on its own exclusive system".**

Prerna

Prerna holds her team until Klaus starts his assault on the bridge.

Prerna holds at the open hatch wary of Kit's friendly troops to her north along the corridor. Edging forward she hears Klaus' team preparing to breach the Bridge. Observing the curved "Glassteel" window she sees it illuminated by a flash, internal debris and then what looks a lot like viscera in that order.

She hears Klaus' team report in (see above) to learn her axis of advance is now clear.

Prerna moves her team and herself forward, using her HUD display to issue movement orders as she advances.

[Tiglath]

Kit and Frank

Kit and the team will continue to follow the course and once through the next door will start clearing rooms.

Kit's team enter this quad and clear a small room to their right (west) then spend more time clearing a "Hab Area" resulting in two prisoners captured asleep, zip tie cuffed and hustled to the rear.

As per Prerna he hears Klaus' team report in (see above and above) to learn his axis of advance is now clear.

Frank sees all of the above.

Dzofin T'lia and Frank

Dzofin intends to chase the fleeing humans into the executive area breaking into the hatch or forcing them to open it.

Dzofin intends to chase the fleeing humans into the executive area breaking into the hatch or forcing them to open it.

NB you are at red F on the map

Dzofin sees the humans ahead transit through the "Cross Lock" never seen on Vargr ships and then eastwards only to turn the corner northwards and out of sight. Following on with T'lia he sees the two humans in crewdress pounding at the secure hatch until the armoured one catches up and accesses the hatch marked "Product Storage Restricted Area". The humans run on into a vast bay as big as the small craft hangar. Dzofin sees a "warehouse". The whole vast space seems to be filled with export packaged SuSAG pharma. His piratey mind begins to subconsciously calculate value until the need for conscious help with the zeros amounts to distraction.

T'lia, seemingly either very determined or very fit, runs on after her driven prey.

In the distance Dzofin can see grav powered cargo handling bots trundling pallets across junctions between lanes of piled crates and is aware of the operation of a roof mounted crane seemingly capable of drawing up and distributing whole stacks of crates at once.

Dzofin follows after the humans howling as he goes. He will attempt to herd the humans to the east towards the executive area.
