OOC botting time!

<Team Alpha>

The gunner's head exploded as he fell of the buggy a second later. Even before the driver knew what was going on a plasma shot hit his windshield and went through, eating away both him and the weak vehicle. Driver's last act was to gun the buggy down and hit straight at the concrete wall of a nearby hab block, totaling the buggy. Feron's next attempt didn't go so well as his krak grenade fell short of the target and its concentrated blast doing pretty much no damage, only making another hole on the street itself. However, Amraphel was once again there and his dual-pistol shooting skills made the second Chimera lose it's front tracks, halting it immediately.

Third Chimera suffered same faith, however not before its driver skillfully evaded collision with the front one and "parked" both vehicle side by side. Metal Storm rounds hit the wheels, however the driver lost control of the second truck and it darted to the side and in a grace known only to big trucks, lurched to the side and toppled over. What came out were screams of wounded soldiers who slowly tried to exit it on their all fours.

First truck was undamaged and it halted, around 20 gangers disembarking from it and attempting to create a perimeter, the rear buggy adding to the defensive effort. However as they started moving out a precise shots ranged from where the other part of the team was located (Lysander, Fenix, Edd, Six) and before they knew it, they were brought down to half of their initial force. Sadly, it happened so that there were gangers in the Chimeras as well, but as these came out it was awfully apparent that they were much better armed. Normal gangers carried lasrifles and autorifles, while these "Veterans" had actually hotshot lasguns alongside couple of plasma guns, wearing carapace armor. But what was most important thing of all - from the third Chimera a person with a long black hair came out, armed with two pistols of strange craftsmanship. Wade was right there and he was coordinating the defense. Soon, return shots became to fall all around the Team, but they still had the upper hand.

OOC 15 normal gangers, 15 veteran gangers, 1 buggy with heavy bolter, 2 chimera's heavy bolters mounted on their hulls + gunners, Steve Wade (Boss). You can kill couple of each group, I won't make limits on this, just keep it logical. Also, you can't kill\capture Steve Wade with only one post, I'll write his responses since he is the boss.

The Blackshield let out a snarl, at the Space Wolf. The team had already been damaged, so they would all need each other if they wanted to survive. In one day, they had already been attacked three times and the night wasn't even over, but he wasn't going with them.

What was even he mission anymore? What was the point. There was none. All this fighting had only got him a slight limp and a hurt arm. This had been the worst kill team he ever had the dishonor of working with, but like in his past, he would make due. He needed to stick to the main Objective and tract down the traitors.

He began to follow the tracks. "Good luck to you brothers..." He said with a remorse face. His odds weren't good, but maybe he could find something out himself.

With his ruined face, Bolter, Axe and armor on his back, he moved slowly into the darkness. Giving a final wave to the team.

<Steinar Greywold>
+ @Loldoom
Steinar did not even turn around when the fool decided to go suicide. "Sigismund. Please take Blanche and scout ahead, you have more mobility. Do not engage in combat and see if you can make something out we could use as hideout."

<Feron>
Several precious seconds remained where his cover would protect him from return fire that Feron intended to abuse to the fullest as a final metal storm round blew open in the back most buggies turret shredding apart the gunner in a point blank eruption of shrapnel that created a cloud of sparks about the vehicle and road way. Secondary targets were made of the Veteran Gangers whom the Salamander intended to wreathe in purging flames as he arose from his position to begin drawing fire from the heavier vehicles. Another clink of the fire selector brought forth the Dragonfire rounds which he began spitting into the perimeter of the Chimaera and ring of protective Veterans picking out their plasma gunners knowing that even behind that carapace armor was still weak, flammable skin. Stack that on top of volatile weapons prone to painful bouts of overheating and unstable plasma within and you had a series of pretty blue fire crackers flaring to screaming life amongst the initial novas of flame that radiated from carefully placed trios of bolts.

Having no doubt started to draw heavy amounts of fire with his presence revealed the Salamander began to fall back, cloak billowing in the wake of various bullets it wasn't hard to identify him as a proper Astartes; though he had mag-locked his helmet to the back of his armored waist on the thin chance they might just mistake him for a heavily armored mutant. His final act before digging his heels in just inside the entrance way to a debilitated abandoned hab unit was to hurl a stun grenade into the enemy formation planting it low rather than high so those without proper filtering equipment couldn't just look down, and those looking up might still catch the ensuing flash in their lower vision, even then guarding against the piercing shriek that dulled to a painful whine would be much harder to avoid. "Stun out! Prepping second stun for follow up detonation upon retrieval of target. "

As Volorox watched The black shield leave he waved and said "may the emporer watch over you black shield." he said as he wen't as he began moving in the sands. as they wen't he hoped for once Steiner knew he was going.

(OOC: Im sorry for my lack of Posts, my Internet was completely shut down during most of the Weekend and my real life kept my busy. )

Amraphel pointed both of his plasma pistols at the gangers now firing at the salamander. He let loose a salvo of precisely aimed shots, hoping it would be enough to cover the Salamanders retreat. "I have your back Brother Feron.", he quickly voxed. He hid behind solid cover, hoping it would protect him from the gangers when they finally would direct their fire upon him. For the Moment he was Content with firing on them from behind hard cover. Amraphel also took a frag grenade and threw it amidst the mass of normal gangers, hoping that this would clear it out.

Amraphel thought it would be best to quickly charge into melee after the second stun grenade would have been thrown, then cut down the surviving rabble and finally capture their deviant leader. Amraphel activated the team vox and spoke:" Brothers, we should storm their ranks during the short distraction caused by our next stund grenade and end this quickly! What do you think?"

- Edd
Standing at Lysander's side, Edd went over what he had been told. One, do not kill Wade. He had been shown a picture and was now stored in his memory bank. Two, protect Boss Lysander. Without him, there would be no one to give him orders. And finally, do what Hero Commissar Cain does to gangers in the vids. Edd had a big smile on his face from that last part.
"Now we's gonna fight Gangers! RAAAAAGHAHAHAHA!" Edd roared with laughter. Taking aim with his ripper gun, he fired wildly into the crowed of gangers.

- Rocky
Having stayed behind cover while the Posthumans unleashed hell upon the unsuspecting ganger convoy. Hearing Feron's order, Rocky pulled forth his stun grenade. (-1 stun = 0 stun) (1 krak, 1 blind) In preparation for the second volley. He had his stub-revolver out, but continued to hold cover.
'We got to find that Wade tosser, before he start firing wild. Knowing Edd, he'll start out firing but will close in on the gangers and rip them to pieces. That should slow him down long enough for us to find Wade.'
"I have a blind grenade and a krak grenade too Salamander Sir. But it won't due us any good unless we have Wade. Then we can use the blind for cover (Smoke) or the Krak to take out one of those heavy bolter mounts!"
What Rocky didn't tell him was the real reason he didn't open fire with the rest of them was because he was such an appalling shot. The limited number of shots in his revolver did not help with this. He would deal with the ganger as they came. Keeping a look out for Wade.

<Feron>
Bowing his head down under a brief volley of las-fire the Salamander mutters his thanks into a comm-bead. "Appreciated Brother, Rocky reserve your smoke for when Wade is in our possession getting him out of here is key. I want you to run over and join the team escorting him out the moment they move out, pop that Krak up under a Chimaera and let it blow the floor out along with everyone in it. " A few scattered shots of suppressive fire were loosed from his bolter, burning stars of kraken rounds scoring further pock marks in the ground and sparking off armored hulls. "Amraphel get in there and put that blade to good use, I'll cover your approach. We've got our target in sight amongst those 'flash gits'. " A frag grenade detonated just alongside the door frame showering him in shrapnel to little effect other than marring his armor and tearing into his cloak. "If anyone finds themselves in an appropriate enough position keep an eye on the opposite side of the road, I'm sure we can expect reinforcements from the marina any time now. " Continuing to fire through the screen of drab grey dust the Astartes quickly ducks back into cover.

OOC: Hope ya don't mind the bits of return fire in the post Colapse, just addin a touch of flavor while waiting for the real retaliation

<Team Alpha>

The entire scene quickly turned into a warzone. What used to be a silent street with a single fish shop, now became something out of war novels (or actual battlegrounds), with the amount of heavy guns firing and grenades blowing.

As Ogryns were famed for their accuracy, Edd managed to wound only one of the gangers with his firing, others quickly ducking behind fallen truck. Although his actions allowed both Six and Fenix to open fire and kill those gangers that stayed in the open. But then one of those gunners from chimera's hull-mounted and both Six and Fenix ducked, but Edd wasn't that quick. Couple of shots hit home and blew small chunks of his flesh and armor, drawing blood but not really hindering him (perhaps only making him angry?).

Feron's tactic was sound as always, couple of plasma gunners dying where Dragonfire rounds penetrated their flesh. Exploding and making miniature suns, they brought couple of their friends alongside them straight on their way to Warp. Stun grenade also did good job to cover his retreat, however couple of those veteran gangers had goggles that protected them from such blast and they showered him with high-powered lasfire, penetrating parts of his armor and drawing only a bit of blood, since the wounds cauterized almost instantly.

Amraphel was also there, exacting quick revenge upon those that hit Salamander in the back, sniping them with his plasma pistol with unerring precision. Frag grenade killed few badly armored gangers and everything worked as a charm until Amraphel felt a sharp sting below his neck, on his collar bone. There was a tiny hole in his armor he barely even registered amongst various scars his old suit carried, but it was there. Second later, he began feeling a sudden dizziness as he was drunk (which was almost impossible for a Space Marine), then his left side of the body completely stopped functioning, making him topple behind cover as his metabolism struggled to fight the neuro toxin. On the other side of the battleline, black-haired Gang Lord Wade smiled as he watched the Marine fall. His ancient needler pistol once more hitting its mark.

"Form up you dogs!" he ordered as he took cover behind a chimera where one of the gunners kept on pounding the spot where he though Salamander would be. "Hold up a lil while longer and we'll get out of this mess!"

OOC 2xgunners with heavy bolters on chimeras, 10 Veteran Gangers, 6 Normal Gangers, Steve Wade (boss). You can kill couple of each with your next post and try to get in and get to Wade.



<Team Beta>

The column of four chimeras slowly reached the entrance into the underhive, it wouldn't take them long now. Captain Rorke overheard some of the conversation going between Jean and Draconion and raised his eyebrow. "Are we still going to the Arbites station or somewhere else?"



<Team Gamma>

The night was still young when the team separated. For Steinar, Volorox, Sigismund and Dorallius it would prove to be a long night after all. Cries of mutants were heard in the cold wind and as they moved, they could sense something following in their footsteps. Knight went ahead to scout but returned on occasions, saying there was nothing out there but open plains filled with dust and garbage, which slowly began to disperse and make way for more sand. The mutants hunted them but they didn't attack, the creatures just kept their distance and observed the team, only coming closer in the events when team tried to set up a camp, hounding them restlessly. Eventually, after an entire night without sleep, as the morning sun was still young, the team arrived on top of a tiny hill, overlooking parts of the plains below. But what caught their attention was an actual village, lots of small huts placed behind tall palisade. So far, they saw no living beings moving there, but the distance was still too great to find out anything particular.

As for the Blackshield, he had more fun during his night trek. There was no problem for him to locate tracks in the ground left by enemy vehicles and follow them through the dirt. However, the actual path was not that safe for a lone Marine. Although, it also happened so that his decision to eat mutant's brain which alienated him from the rest of the group actually proved useful as he was able to dodge the creature's which the entire wasteland was filled with. Too many times than he can count Icelos had to go down in the ground, or hide below pile of garbage just to evade mutant "patrols", groups of dozen or so creatures that scoured the plains looking for something to eat. Icelos's brain was now working "in sync" with that of those creatures, which gave him lots of distinctive advantages that allowed him to remain hidden throughout the entire adventure. After the equally sleepless night, the Blackshield followed the tracks back to an entrance into a small ravine, where he saw concrete walls hiding what lied behind.

<Feron>
Under such heavy fire and having suffered such 'grievous' wounds the Gangers found the Salamander pulling back into cover, failing to emerge for several seconds. Was he repositioning? Dead? Whatever they dared hope it would be proven wrong in but a moments time, for now he anchored his helmet into place so he wouldn't be as exposed. An ebon blur shot across the door way of the hab before a side wall exploded outward as Feron bashed it down with with a flash of gold against silver: Skull-Splitters destructive power field augmented by the relentless strength of his bionic limb. Through a gust of kicked up dust Feron surged forward cutting a diagonal path toward Wade. "Rocky secure our Brother, Six if you're carrying any medical supplies get to Amraphel. Lysander, Fenix move in on the target -NOW-. " Power Hammer mag-locked back to his side and exchanged for a stun grenade in hardly a seconds time Feron drew his bionic arm back while the flesh one leveled a bolt pistol toward the man. Hurling the grenade he aimed for Steve's waist, not relying on it to effect his senses so much as wind him by having a solid canister propelled by super-human strength slam into his groin, legs or gut, a small cruel part of him hoped for the groin to wipe that smug look off his face.

Of course were that to fail, and only if, he would aim to at least try and disable his weapon, tracking his bolt pistol on the needler his assault training came to fore in his mind holding his fire until several key factors were met. First was a matter of range, closing in to reduce how long a risk window there was for the shot to sway off course. Second was his angle on the man, making sure to plant his shot in such a way that if it didn't hit dead on it would only strike his arm or simply fly off into the street behind him. Third it came down to not getting struck himself, by the needler anyways, seeing that chances were his enemy would be tracking on with the rest of their arsenal. Bionic limb would be used as shield against whatever Wade would fire at him, trying to twist his limb into place to deflect shots aimed at weak joints in his armor though initially it hung near his gorget so he didn't suffer the same as Amraphel. Still the whole ordeal would be infinitely nicer if his gambit with the stun grenade worked.
