OOC: It's Andreas yo.... Andrea is female "I would go even as far and organize next 'scavenger' team only out of former soldiers. The civilians are... In the way. Not to forget their aim is most likely more than horrible and therefor are wasting ammunition. Yet we need additional firepower and then I rather have a PDF like force over nobody. It is a difficult decision... But I concur that we both at least are realists enough to know how to survive out here. Perhaps we should talk to the Sarge first and see what he thinks... And if he overcame his guilt yet." The man suggested as he looked into the vast wastelands around which was once a proud planet in the name of the Imperium.
& ''I agree,'' Bruce said. ''This time we know what's out there, we'll be prepared. Alright, so Buzzsaw's in. Kenny will come. Who else?'' OOC: I'll give people in the bunker something to do, don't worry about that. OOC: I feel you're ignoring the fact that there are soldiers, one of which is a sgt, in the main group. I get you're playing an asshole, but suggesting the Imperial Guard soldiers don't know how to protect themselves seems OTT. The guy with most battlefield experience is Bruce, and he's already in charge. OOC: Survivor guilt doesn't mean he shows it. You likely wouldn't be aware he felt it, unless well versed in psychology, or he confided in you (which, as a proud soldier, he wouldn't).
Didn't seem like it, I thought the people in charge were civilians (initial group that went out) since they weren't really operating that well. This was mostly in response to the fact I want to get rid of the politician worm.
''I'm in,'' Alexis said. ''No,'' Bruce said, shaking his head. ''I need someone who can be trusted to stay back and watch over this place. We know it's not safe now, so we need to make sure nothing can get in to here.'' She looked down, before nodding. ''Kenny, Buzz, One Eye, gear up - we move in five. The rest of you, stay safe, and please, don't try to do anything stupid,'' he said, making sure everyone knew he was looking at Donovan as he said it. ++Scavengers++ The group of four moved out under the veil of darkness. Taking their time, and moving with an awareness that the dead may be near by, their journey would be a slow one. They soon arrived at the PDF post's outskirts [grid B6]. ''What do you see?'' Bruce asked of Kenny, who was on point as usual. ''Nothing,'' Kenny whispered back. ''Might be empty, but can't be certain in this darkness.'' ''Alright, let's move in. Keep it slow and steady, now sudden movements or loud noises,'' Bruce said. The four advanced cautiously, and arrived at the front door to the compound. ''Alright, Kenny open her up, I'll go in first, you guys follow,'' Bruce whispered. The others nodded. Kenny opened the door, as instructed, and the men entered. Splitting up they each moved to a different section of the building. Bruce moved ahead, Kenny went right, Buzz took left, and One Eye headed down in to the basement. The second floor would have to wait. ++Bunker++ Alexis sealed the thick metal door behind the departed men, before heading back to her fellow survivors. ''What now?'' Jen asked. ''Now we wait.'' -- A couple of hours passed, and the away team still hadn't returned. Those still in the bunker began to grow restless. OOC: A little chat between characters would be good at this stage. @Urian/Cody, you can return to the bunker, or follow the scavengers, your pick. Group status Scavenging Bruce (Akragth) Kenny (NPC) Buzzsaw (Cousintp) One Eye (NPC) At bunker Brick (Deran) Rex (Sunblitz) Jackie (Fox) Jen (NPC) - will always follow Brick Alexis (NPC) Reginald (Bjorn) Donovan (Alldoom) Lenora (NPC) - she will always follow Donovan. Otis (NPC) Lory (NPC) Rikard (NPC) B-Dawg (NPC) Going it alone Andreas (Urian) Jonah (Cody) [both near bunker]
Jackie sat alone talking to the priest reginald about what happend with becka and asking her what came back in beckas body
With Urian -Reaching the reinforced bunker door, Jonah turned to Andreas and together they entered the fortification and its comforting embrace. As they resealed the door behind them and made their way into the bunker proper, they were greeted by a very different situation they had left it in. Seeing that some of the people were obviously missing, they decided to wait until the others had returned and attempt to gather any information that would hint to a coup-
OOC: Except he acts out of normality. And it's kinda hard to judge what we know and what we don't know... Or what our chars are capable of recognizing and what not. Andreas simply nodded to the other Soldier as he took somewhere where space was to plant his butt on.
"my child, i fear the bite of those... unholy creatures out there spreads their infection... this is the work of the archenemy, never give up hope, if we do, then they win, and fear not for Becka, her soul is beside the Emperor now, the first time she died her soul left her body, that thing that woke up in there was not her, it was a cruel puppet, even more reason to hate those things out there, any fear or doubt or sadness, turn it into anger and hate when fighting those beasts, hate of the ruinous powers is one of the purest things a human can do, fear not for your friend, she is in a better place, carry on her legacy, help retake this world from those beasts, and never forget, the Emperor is with us"
Brick leaned against a nearby wall, listening in on the Father's little conversation with Jackie. It beat the feck out of listening to Donovan bitch and moan or spending any amount of time near B-dawg the obnoxious ass he was. Business had been pretty good with him for a bit but damned if even then things didn't get old fast with all his ridiculous bling, just makes ya an easier target; wall of body guards or not. Preferring minimal company from Jen wasn't an option right now either as she was busy with whatever the hell she did when she wasn't trodding after him like a loyal hound. Sighing as he moved off Brick wandered about their little slab of 'safety', wondering how those above faired, he should of gone was all he could really think.
OOC: He hasn't acted strangely, and didn't do anything that suggested his feelings. So... & As the group went about their business, they were interrupted by a singular action; a banging at the bunker door...a knock, perhaps. ++Scavenger team++ ''How did you go?'' Kenny asked, returning to Bruce. ''Found a couple of lasguns and some ammo. You?'' ''A bit of food (10 units) and water (5 units). Place was empty though. Any information?'' Bruce asked. ''Hey, fellas,'' One Eye said. ''I found some information. The PDF had some booklets about disease control and prevention, but they didn't mention what we've seen. So I checked the data-slates I found some scribed transmissions between here and the main guard command post. It seems they're calling it the zombie plague, a working of the dark gods.'' Those words sent a shudder down all of the men's spines. ''Damn it. Does the radio station here still work? We could try to send out a distress signal, see if anyone's listening from above,'' Kenny said. ''Is that wise? I mean, the heretics could still be here for all we know,'' Bruce said. ''Yea...I guess so. So, we're on our own?'' Kenny asked. ''Looks like. Listen, we'll pull through this. We have to, we can't let everyone have...died for nothing.'' ''You're right,'' Kenny said with a nod. ''What now?'' ''Looks like there's nothing else of use here. Let's get back to the bunker, before all hell breaks loose there.''
