Please Sling a Recon roll for general spotting or declare attention to a specific "scene" and I'll give details.

Roll[2d6]=6 + Recon-1 = 7 Prerna's view from her rifle optics.

Frank

Frank maintains an overview and satisfies himself that the unit's tactics are being well executed.

However, he is troubled by disturbing and unbidden images of Mrs Mopp winking at him.

He decides he needs a Scotch...

Jess

The Bindoner wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:08 pm Jess has had a busy day, a generous helping of Scotch, and no Recon training. She is rated as Sensor Ops 1 though, if that helps: [2d6] = 7

Jess hovers in low over the stationary #3 tank. It sits silently in the centre of the narrow street.

She sees there is a cable strung between the low building on either side which has snagged on the commanders MG mount. All four of the crew are all dead and were clearly riding "unbuttoned / hatches open" when they were killed. From the multiple impacts on the deck and turret Jess can tell the crew died in the instant they triggered the pair of "claymore" mines wired to the cable.

In her opinion the tank is both recoverable and driveable.

She notes there are no townsfolk about in this area.

(OOC: +1 for Sensor Ops / Int bonus (making your vision aids work)).

Through her scope Jess can see a group of three Townsfolk running / chasing something towards her down the Processional?

(OOC: Between the Guard tanks and the APC range a touch under 1.5 kliks (comfortable enough for the heavy gauss). Drones now "parked").

Looking for movement to the west of the processional - dodging up the various roads and alleys.

Swooping her drone in low up the western sidestreets Freya sees a group of three Guardsmen cautiously making their way south (towards the mansion) in an alley. They wave at the drone and hold up their weapons to identify themselves as Guard.

Prerna focuses on the group, bringing her optics to high magnification and silently cursing her lack of a helmet.

Ah - Bingo...So who's stalking this lot?

Colonel- I've got a group attempting to move south on foot. West side of the processional. Probably guards.

Jakob

Gaughan smiles and instinctively extends his hand "Well done, sir!" turning to his men he announces "That there is the Leftenant's wife. So we'll look after her". To Jakob he adds "She'll be safe as houses she will. The lads are romantic fools the lot of them".

The "Volunteers" enthusiastically pile into the G Carrier while Beau manages the ambulance and Jakob's "battle group" sets off.

It's near two kliks to the junction where the low loader and APC sit at the centre of an area scoured by blast. The seat of the explosion was clearly the civilian vehicle. A pair of guard bodies lie between it and the front of the APC they have been cut in half by the polarized blast which continued on to carve laterally through the cab of the APC killing the driver and wrecking the vehicle.

At the rear of the APC a group of three bodies lie among their ACRs. Jakob can see they are in need of immediate medical attention for multiple gunshot wounds.

Doing some grim arithmetic Jakob realises he has about ten Guard unaccounted for.

As they came in, Jakob looked for threats and the best landing zone.

Recon-1, Int-C [2d6+3] = 7+3 = 10

"Eyes on my location, everyone," Jakob said over the Team Comm. "Three wounded, multiple gunshot hits. So we have shooters and explosives. Medic One, stand by with Triage Team. We will secure the site and the wounded. Need assist for remains and ordinance recovery. Looks like we're short ten personnel. Please advise."

While he did his best to care for the wounded, most of Jakob's attention was on scanning for threats and preparing the site.

Medic-1, Int-C [2d6+3] = 3+3 = 6

Jess calls Jakob on unit comm: There's a recoverable tank. If you've Guard troopers with yer ask if any'v 'em c'n crew it. Area's secure fer now, but sooner the better, eh?

"Good copy. We have several Guard in the other vehicle. Let Gaughan know and my team will clear the way for him," Jakob replied to Jess.

Jess switches to her personal comm and sends Sgt Gaughin the location and image of the tank with the note "Driver needed. Thought I told you to stay out of this one. Another thing to worry about, thanks."

Frank

I'm assuming that everyone is on the officers channel so information is automatically fed to everyone else (this would have been set up before everyone left, so we don't have to worry about relaying info)

"Well spotted, Ms Ingrisdottir. Can you tell if they are in any immediate danger?"

Freya

Those guards on foot are NOT in immediate danger, checking on imminent dangers now.

Flies drone up and circles the troops checking one road each side, behind and in front.

"Please map that group for rescue," Jakob replied to Freya. "If they are close we can grab them now, otherwise let's add them to the list."

He contacted SGT Gaughan via however the man was connected in. "We have three of your men on foot, building the vector to get them now. You voice will probably help guide them in. Have them safe their weapons before they climb aboard."

"Look alive, everyone. Ambulance is enroute. Eyes on the possible threats." Jakob said as the space cleared for the pickup vehicle.

Addendum: Jakob sent a direct comm to Liv. "I let the Guard know you were my wife. Don't be surprised if they get over-protective."

"I need a report on the area around the mansion," Prerna says. "We don't know if anything else is trying to sneak up on us." Prerna continues to examine the three making there way in her direction.

BackworldTraveller wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 3:41 pm Lt Dubs - Is the tac computer showing anything sneaking round the back from the rear drone feeds?

Voss sees an opportunity to be useful and takes it. Having excused himself from the officers' lounge he arrives on the roof and takes over the pair of drones monitoring the flanks and rear of the Mansion. He reports nothing untoward.

BackworldTraveller wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 3:44 pm And Easy...How many spare drones have you got in case we lose some?

Easy sets her last drone away - its multiple rotors clawing for purchase in Inchin's thin atmosphere.

She replies "Ma'am, we lost some to enemy fire. What we have is five and now they're all up".

Well I'll try to be careful...This remote ops stuff is scaring the heck out of me - I usually interpret the data or fly hands-on. When it comes to a neat landing, keep clear of my rotors until they stop.

OK: My bunch look like they are clear for a few more moments. Probably a cue for massive ambush!
