SessionNineteen

[22:29] <Gamesmaster> It is 17:03 hours. 4th October, 3067. Attemping to repair the Claws mechs, the cadets were caught in a situation
[22:29] <Gamesmaster> as the power seemingly drained from the facilities reactor. Investigating, Cadet Stephan stumbled across survivors
[22:29] <Gamesmaster> from the clan raid, who put up stiff resistance. With other caders rushing to help, a firefight broke out.
[22:29] <Gamesmaster> In that tense underground battle the facility survivors were dispatched or captured, but not before Cadet Bran was
[22:29] <Gamesmaster> however injured by enemy rifle fire. Venturing deeper into the facility, the fusion reactor was located with a nasty
[22:29] <Gamesmaster> surprise present. Blocks of demolition CEMTEX. Remus and Biorn, exchanging worried glances, moved in to deal with
[22:29] <Gamesmaster> the situation as Stephan tended to the prisoners and Brans wounds.
[22:31] <Remus> \bombophone\
[22:32] <Gamesmaster> Stuck on the elevator, the majority of Claw Two are attempting to repair the broken machine by freeing the manual override
[22:33] * Remus is at a loss of what to do.
[22:34] * Biorn begins inspecting the device to see if what he can determine.
[22:36] * Jacob_Dorn Having bandaged himself up from the head wound sustained in the battle topside, Dorn stokes up a cigarette.
[22:42] <Biorn> Well... meinfretr. Who ever rigged this was in a hurry but knew what they were doing. If the keep alive pulse isn't maintained, the failsafe will detonate.
[22:42] * ^Vane^ is checking up on the Stalking Spider's myomers.
[22:43] * Remus looks confused as Bjorn talks, "What does that mean? More important, can you disarm it without blowing us all to oblivion?"
[22:44] * Jacob_Dorn examines the damage of the Cobra from the outside
[22:45] <Jacob_Dorn> That thing is fucked.....
[22:45] <Biorn> Not as such... at least not with what I have currently have. The detonator is mechanical for both the timer and failsafe. Our best shot is to try and freeze the entire mechanism at once.
[22:45] *** ^Bran^ (~chatzilla@cpc15-cwma7-2-0-cust54.7-3.cable.virginm.net) joined
[22:46] <Remus> Freeze? We could expose it to vacuum, that should cool it, correct?
[22:47] <Biorn> We need to stop the pieces moving, not suffocate it.
[22:47] * Biorn looks condecendingly
[22:48] <Gamesmaster> *Vane, seeing his myomer is damaged, attempts to increase power flow to gain additional performance. However, with a blaring of warnings, the mech indicates that several cables on one of the mechs healthy legs have rupted, reducing efficiency by 10%*
[22:48] <^Vane^> Shit..
[22:49] * ^Vane^ throws space wrench down in disgust.
[22:49] <Remus> What about coolant from the reactor?
[22:49] <Biorn> * SC. Update, short version on the bomb. Freezing the detonator is our best chance of stopping the reactor going off. *
[22:50] <Biorn> That could work.
[22:50] <Dierson_Pyre> since you no longer need that space wrench
[22:50] * Dierson_Pyre picks up space wrench from the floor
[22:50] * Biorn starts looking for coolant pipes trying to gage which are closet to the bomb.
[22:50] <Remus> \fuck spess wrenches, where be the spess wenches?\
[22:50] <^Vane^> **3.1, is there no gas or something stored in a liquid state in the mechbay?**
[22:51] * Jacob_Dorn stares at the Cobra almost with tears in his eyes and sniffs
[22:51] <Jacob_Dorn> My baby.....
[22:51] <Dierson_Pyre> **aff, proceed Bjorn**
[22:52] * Remus suddenly looks illuminated
[22:52] <Jacob_Dorn> My beautiful Deathwish of a baby they violated you!
[22:52] * Dierson_Pyre moves with purpose toward the mechanical maintenance hatch to the elevator control system
[22:52] <Remus> What do they have for a fire supression system?
[22:52] * Remus looks around for fire extinguishers and the like.
[22:53] <Gamesmaster> *Diersons voice sounds distant over the radio, and is replaced by garbled static. It appears the depth of the rock and distance between the reactor room and elevator will make any long communication difficult*
[22:53] <Biorn> * All points. Is anyone currently in the repair bay? *
[22:54] <Dierson_Pyre> *GGGGGGHHHHBBBBZzzzzzz nea...bbakjJJJJJJJJJJACREEEEEEEEE*
[22:54] * Dierson_Pyre to Vane
[22:55] <Dierson_Pyre> Radio appears to be affected by the rock...I am getting static from Bjorn
[22:55] <^Vane^> Indeed. Is there no maintenance shaft in this elevater. We could climb down to make a relay in the least.
[22:55] <^Vane^> Or do you think we can get this moving?
[22:56] <^Vane^> Actually..we have to get this moving. Losing half our assets due to a faulty elevator would be unacceptable.
[22:56] <Dierson_Pyre> I was going to attempt to unjam the mechanical system used to operate the elevator
[22:57] <Gamesmaster> *Looking around for a fire extinguisher, Remus instead notices a long, blue tube snaking above his position, above the maintainance panel, marked with a large, warning sign. It appears to be in english. *DANGER: LIQUID NITROGEN. DANGER OF DEATH. Safety equipment must be warn at all times. Depower reactor and flow control mechanicms between opening panel for maintainance.
[22:57] <Dierson_Pyre> with this...
[22:57] * Dierson_Pyre holds up space wrench
[22:58] <^Vane^> Well.. just take into consideration, we need to get back up as well.
[22:58] * Remus shuffles his foot, kicking Bjorn just hard enough to get his attention. With a grunt he points upward at the hose, "You wanted frozen."
[22:59] * ^Vane^ joins Pyre.
[22:59] <^Vane^> Let us have a look.-
[22:59] <Biorn> Ask and ye shall receive. Step two: How to get to it where we want it.
[23:00] * Dierson_Pyre tears hatch off
[23:00] * Dierson_Pyre looks inside
[23:00] <Biorn> * I repeat. All points. Is anyone in the repair bay? *
[23:00] <Remus> Puncture it with a bullet and let it flood the area?
[23:01] <Biorn> With us in here? You volunteering to pull the trigger?
[23:01] * Jacob_Dorn finishes the last of his Cigarette  and stubs it out on the floor
[23:01] <Jacob_Dorn> Better.
[23:03] <Gamesmaster> *Looking at the Manual release, it doesnt take long to see that the manual release issnt jammed, just cannot depress. Looking around you quickly realise that its not the problem - instead, a large amount of debris from the battle above has been dragged into the rotating metal gears. *
[23:04] <Dierson_Pyre> what would be your solution Vane
[23:04] <^Vane^> This is.. an obstacle.
[23:04] <^Vane^> To say the least.
[23:05] * Dierson_Pyre looks to see if brute phsyical force applied with violent application of the space wrench
[23:05] <Remus> Last I was aware, bullets travel far enough to hit it from the room entrance and shut the door while the room floods.
[23:06] * ^Vane^ starts looking around for something to use as a fulcrum type thing.
[23:08] <Biorn> Not as controlled as I would like it but I guess now is not the time to picky.
[23:08] <Gamesmaster> *Straining with all his might, Dierson jams in the wrench and attempts to free it. The metal is unbudging, despite all his efforts. Angrilly, he drops the wrench and attempts to free it barehanded. If it could, the debris would laugh at his attempts. It rattles slightly but refusing to budge, Dierson gives up*
[23:10] <Remus> Sometimes a little chaos paves the way.
[23:10] <Dierson_Pyre> STRAVAG INSULANT PIECE OF (incoherent curses)
[23:11] <Remus> \I swear I hear something....\
[23:12] <^Vane^> Pyre! Over here.
[23:13] * ^Vane^ hefts a crowbar and a blow torch.
[23:13] * Dierson_Pyre looks
[23:14] <Dierson_Pyre> better!
[23:14] * Dierson_Pyre gestures for the crowbar
[23:14] <Jacob_Dorn> Woooo
[23:15] * ^Vane^ throws the crowbar to Pyre, and picks up another and walks over.
[23:15] <^Vane^> If this does not work, we can melt it.
[23:15] * Dierson_Pyre catches the crowbar out of the air with one hand
[23:17] * Dierson_Pyre turns and jams the crowbar into the blockage and wrenches with all his body weight
[23:17] <^Vane^> Hold on.
[23:17] * ^Vane^ jams his crowbar in as well.
[23:17] <Dierson_Pyre> HHHHHHNNNNNNGNGNGNGGGGGGG
[23:18] /CJW: Unknown command
[23:18] <Remus> \dp erryday\
[23:18] <Gamesmaster> \\CJW: THE ERP
[23:20] <Gamesmaster> *With a colossal effort, the combined physical strength of Vane and Dierson begins to have effect. Slowly, witha  mighty groan, the gear turns slighty and the debris slowly and agonisingly drops out, finally freeing the mechanism. Dierson and Vane staggered as the sudden absence of anything to push against causing them to lose balance slightly. Diersons crowbar especially looks somewhat bent at the end*
[23:21] * Dierson_Pyre (catches breath)
[23:22] <^Vane^> \\\hurr crowbar bent at the end wink wink
[23:22] <Dierson_Pyre> proceed.....to....elevator....shaft
[23:25] <Jacob_Dorn> Great job!
[23:26] <Gamesmaster> *With a shudder, the elevator begins to descend as the manual release level, under stress from repeated attempts to get the elevator working, frees up into the on position*
[23:27] <Dierson_Pyre> **Bjorn, Remus...respond...the elevator is operational again**
[23:28] <Dierson_Pyre> **Pyre to Bjorn....bhhhzzzzzzz....do you copy**
[23:28] * Jacob_Dorn boards the elevator on foot being that his mech is not going anywhere soon.
[23:28] <Biorn> * I copy, SC *
[23:29] * ^Vane^ pats his crowbar, and walks over to his mech tossing it in the cockpit.
[23:29] * Dierson_Pyre radio still crackling
[23:30] <Dierson_Pyre> is your claw operational
[23:31] <Biorn> * Pilots are operational, currently unsure regarding mechs. We are about the attempt to freeze the detonator on the bomb. *
[23:32] <Dierson_Pyre> **confirm that you actually can not depart facility before the bomb detonates**
[23:33] <Biorn> ** Will confirm **
[23:34] <Biorn> ** For the third time, all points call in. Is anyone in the bloody repair bay? **
[23:34] <Jacob_Dorn> Why do i get the feeling that if that "Bomb" detonates there will not be a moon left...
[23:35] * Remus casts a glance over and says, "Reporting" with a heavily sarcastic tone.
[23:35] * Dierson_Pyre looks at Dorn
[23:35] <Dierson_Pyre> do you actually get that feeling or are you being a freebirth
[23:35] <Jacob_Dorn> Both.
[23:36] <^Vane^> I seriously doubt that. That would a massive and meaningless expenditure of resources for no gain.
[23:36] <Dierson_Pyre> it is still relevant to check the detonation time if possible, to endanger personal on a task that is not crucial is a waste of clan resources
[23:36] <Dierson_Pyre> exactly
[23:37] <Dierson_Pyre> the fuel dump exploding, that would leave...not much of this facility, I think the moon would protect those on the surface from any detonation below
[23:37] <Jacob_Dorn> You clearly have no idea how Dracs think....
[23:37] <Dierson_Pyre> they think?
[23:38] <^Bran^> Sorry Biorn I was watching the prisoners.
[23:38] <Biorn> ** Are the prisoners sec
[23:38] <Biorn> ure **
[23:39] <Jacob_Dorn> Suggest that we execute any prisoners as they may result to desperate measures.
[23:39] <^Vane^> Is that a common "drac" tactic?
[23:40] <Dierson_Pyre> we are not to claim insorla, any remaining personnel will be eliminated
[23:40] * Dierson_Pyre states flatly
[23:40] <^Bran^> **yes there are as far as I can do so at this time**
[23:40] <Jacob_Dorn> You see, we are WORTH something.
[23:41] <Jacob_Dorn> fas as the commander of this facility goes the soldiers defending it are worth less than the dirt we are walking on
[23:41] * Dierson_Pyre looks at Dorn, utterly confused
[23:41] <Remus> Think we will be able to escape before hand?
[23:41] <^Vane^> What do you mean, worth something?
[23:41] * ^Vane^ also looks puzzingly at Dorn.
[23:41] * Dierson_Pyre shrugs at Vane
[23:42] * ^Vane^ shrugs back.
[23:43] <Jacob_Dorn> We are not expendable, we are resources but the way most Dracs see things people like the fellows we have been fighting are.
[23:43] <Jacob_Dorn> Expendable that is.
[23:43] <Biorn> Fine. Put a gun to the kamphundr's heads and ask politely if they know how to disarm this. If they don't play nice, pull the trigger and move to the next one. At least then all we've have lost is ammunition.
[23:43] <Jacob_Dorn> Bottem line is Dracs are dickheads.
[23:43] <Dierson_Pyre> aff
[23:44] * Remus chuckles.
[23:44] <Jacob_Dorn> And all my friends are dickheads too.
[23:44] <^Vane^> Ah, aff.
[23:44] <Dierson_Pyre> **Bjorn, what is your situation, please comply**
[23:44] <Remus> So, Bran? The honors are your or mine?
[23:45] <Biorn> We have 14 minutes till this device detonates. Clear this room, we'll try flooding it with the liquid nitrogen.
[23:46] <Dierson_Pyre> **Aff**
[23:46] <^Bran^> Remus if you want to have them by all means. I say we throw them in with the nitrogen personally.
[23:46] <Dierson_Pyre> we need to assist in clearing the mechs from the repair bay, as much as you say we are worth or not worth Dorn , the mechs are worth more than us
[23:46] * Remus grins.
[23:47] <Jacob_Dorn> Unless we prove otherwise.
[23:47] <Dierson_Pyre> **All personal not defusing the bomb, move to evac facility, clear the repair bays and prepare to depart**
[23:48] * Remus walks over to one of the bound prisoners and smacks in on the cheek a few times, "Time to wake up, Spheroid"
[23:48] <^Bran^> Yeah Remus lets leave them to be frozen.
[23:48] * ^Bran^ grins back at Remus
[23:48] <Jacob_Dorn> That will be some what of a problem as half the Cobra is...... missing.
[23:48] * Dierson_Pyre unsure if his comm message actually got through the static
[23:49] <Gamesmaster> *The man is unresponding. He is still out cold. Remus rolls his eyes*
[23:49] <Biorn> Whatever helps you two get off. Just do it quickly.
[23:49] <Dierson_Pyre> that is not a concern now, your Cobra is on surface and not subject to destruction with the facility
[23:49] * Biorn strides out the room
[23:50] * ^Bran^ gets up and hobbles towards the elevator.
[23:50] * Remus laughs, "You were the one who said get answers from them in the first place."
[23:50] <^Vane^> Are the mechs below in a state to move on their own? Dragging them to the elevator might take a while.
[23:50] * Remus examines the other prisoners.
[23:50] <Jacob_Dorn> No Idea.
[23:51] <Jacob_Dorn> I imagine most of them are.
[23:52] <Dierson_Pyre> They should be, Claw 2 should have been working to get them operational while we were destroying the Warhammer
[23:52] <^Vane^> Aff
[23:52] <Gamesmaster> *The access elevator finally reaches the surface with a shuddering halt*
[23:53] <Gamesmaster> *The surface of the cavern**
[23:54] * Dierson_Pyre moves to the repair bay
[23:54] <Dierson_Pyre> follow me, check the mechs once there
[23:55] * Biorn begins inspecting the area to a box or similar object to rest and steady a shot at the coolant lines
[23:55] <^Vane^> Aff
[23:57] * Remus sighs and pulls out his pistol, "They're not awake, let me kill them and throw them in the room.
[23:58] <Remus> "
[23:58] <Biorn> Save your ammo. Throw them in as they are.
[23:59] * Remus shrugs.
[23:59] <Remus> By your command.
[23:59] * Remus drags the unconcious dracs into the core chamber.
[00:00] * Remus grunts out, "Sure you can make it hotshot?"
[00:00] * Jacob_Dorn heads over to the repair bay
[00:00] <^Vane^> I can pilot Ridian's mech to the lift.
[00:01] <Biorn> Just be ready to shut the door.
[00:02] <Dierson_Pyre> check the status on all mechs, we can repair some while others are piloted to the surface
[00:02] <^Vane^> Aff
[00:02] * ^Vane^ get's busy checking mechs
[00:03] * Remus slumps the bodies off and grins on the way back to the door, "Make sure you hit it squarely"
[00:05] <Remus> Ready at the door.
[00:05] * Jacob_Dorn checks over the mechs one by one to see if they are able to be mobile
[00:06] <^Vane^> **Lead, looks like the only one that needs dragging is the Locust.**
[00:06] <^Vane^> **Myomers are bust, can't fix it witout power.**
[00:07] <Jacob_Dorn> Mech status repor. All mechs in repair bay are mobile except the Locust. the legs are still shreded as the legs have been cought mid repair as the power failed
[00:08] <Dierson_Pyre> is there any repair trucks nearby? we can drag the Jenner IIC with the incubus to a vehicle that can then move it to the surface
[00:09] <^Vane^> Alright, Dorn look for a truck.
[00:09] <Jacob_Dorn> Okay.
[00:09] * ^Vane^ jumps into the Incubus.
[00:10] * Dierson_Pyre cringes at "okay" instead of "aff"
[00:10] * Jacob_Dorn explores the area around the repair facility for a Salvage  or Transport Rig
[00:10] <Gamesmaster> *Stephan walks up to the door as he sees Remus leaving. The bodies of the men he has knocked unconcious can be seen through the aperture*
[00:11] <Gamesmaster> "What are you doing with the freeborths?" he asks of REmus, annoyed
[00:11] * Remus grins in earnest
[00:11] <Remus> Disposing of them.
[00:11] <^Bran^> good riddens too.
[00:12] * ^Vane^ powers up the Incubus
[00:12] * Remus looks thoughtfully at the man with the dangly eyes
[00:12] <Remus> Think I should take a trophy this time?
[00:12] <Gamesmaster> "They should be questioned first. Why are you putting them in the reactor room to dispose of them? That is the facilities power supply"
[00:12] <Gamesmaster> Stephan states , annoyed
[00:12] <Remus> me sighs.
[00:12] * Remus sighs*
[00:13] <Remus> I tried to wake them up.
[00:13] <Remus> Unless you want to use a stimpack on them, they are not waking up before that bomb will go off.
[00:14] <Remus> Orders were, no prisoners.
[00:15] <Gamesmaster> "No prisoners maybe, but killing them whilst they are unconcious is the way freebirths act"
[00:17] * Remus snorts.
[00:17] <Remus> How do you suggest we take care of this problem?
[00:17] <Gamesmaster> *Grabbing the prisoner who attacked him with the katana, Stephan pulls out a medical grade stimpatch. THe needles sink deep into the mans flesh, and after a few seconds, Stephan shakes him violently*
[00:18] <Remus> They were bested in combat, I wouldn't think you would care about the honor of a few dead spheroids anyway.
[00:18] <Gamesmaster> "His honour i care not for, my own matters more."
[00:18] <Gamesmaster> he replies
[00:19] * Remus bursts into laughter.
[00:19] <Gamesmaster> *The mans eyes open, into a realisation of awakefulness. He begins whimpering at the siight of Stephan standing above him, shaking him, and weakly tries to throw him off. He begins to speak in garbled japanese, in a terrfied voice*
[00:20] <^Bran^> Anyone speak gibberish?
[00:20] * Jacob_Dorn continues to stumble around the Repair facility looking for some form of Transport big enough to carry a mech
[00:20] * Remus says a few things in Russian and shrugs at Bran
[00:21] <Remus> Does that work for you?
[00:21] <^Bran^> Not the same type of gibberish.
[00:22] * Remus smiles toothily.
[00:22] <Jacob_Dorn> **Shamafru dishpray, you harv Dish on hard your famiry!**
[00:24] <Gamesmaster> "These freebirths are indeed useless.. * Angrily, Stephan lets out with his foot, and kicks the man in the stomach. The prisoner folds again back into a crumpled form. Dragging him forwards, Stephan pushes his with his feet over the aperture
[00:25] <Gamesmaster> "I will deal with the other" Stepping forward, he performs the same operation on the man whose eyes are dangling from their sockets. Awakened , the man claws at his face sow, the pain still excruicaiting. HE makes some what you think are plaintive attempts at communication. As stephan grabs him, he puts up a weak fight as he is also placed overthe aperture.
[00:26] <Jacob_Dorn> **Fantabulous! we in all our pew pew and dakka dakka glory have mash everything up so bad that I do not think There are any transports around... **
[00:26] <Remus> Now that we have wasted more time and supplies to come to a realization we already knew, are we going to get to work, or keep pulling our penises.
[00:26] * ^Bran^ chuckles and hobbles off.
[00:27] <Gamesmaster> "Do what you with them. I am heading back to my mech. I will not have it endangered by a bunch of freebirths messing with a fusion reactor." he says bluntly, and turns to leave
[00:27] <Gamesmaster> *stephan
[00:27] * Biorn sticks his head back through the doors.
[00:28] <Biorn> If you girls are done dancing, either get through this door or I'm flooding it with you inside.
[00:28] * Remus calmly talks over the radio to Stephan. *I am pretty sure you are a danger enough to it on your own, Sparky*
[00:28] <Remus> \I was out of the room a long time ago\
[00:29] <Gamesmaster> *Stephan biting his tongue, ignores Remus, seemingly for once keeping his mouth shut*
[00:30] <Remus> \D:\
[00:30] <Remus> \Stephan, keeping his mouth shut\
[00:30] <Remus> \IT IS THE END TIMES!\
[00:30] <^Vane^> **Well, I'll just have to drag it all the way to the elevator then.
[00:30] <^Vane^> **
[00:30] * Remus re-braces himself to the door.
[00:30] <Remus> Again, don't miss.
[00:30] * Jacob_Dorn stokes up another smoke
[00:31] * ^Vane^ starts to drag the mech using the incubus.
[00:34] *** Gouty_ (~opera@149.12.7.219) left ()
[00:35] * Biorn takes aim at the coolant line from outside the door and pulls the trigger
[00:37] <Gamesmaster> *The auto pistol round hits home in the nitrogen pipe. In a shower of sparks and with a dull thud, a haze of white vapour rushes out down towards the console. The pressure appears high, and it soon overwhelms the maintainance panels. It begins to quickly fill up the floor of the room, and slowly begins to seep out of both doors: the closest aperture near the cadets, and the far access door.*
[00:38] <Gamesmaster> You can see the men on the floor begin shivering with cold,a nd they clasp the arms to sides. Their distress increases , and they attempt ot bakc away from the advancing vapour, searching for the exit door*
[00:39] * Remus quickly pulls out his pistol and fires off a shot at each of the prisoners before slamming the door shut.
[00:39] <Gamesmaster> *The man with damaged eyes tries to circle around the reactor lost, but a wave of vapour rushes over him. You hear a hideous scream, as the bullet slams home and a dull, noise like shattering glass*
[00:40] <Jacob_Dorn> **Sounds like you hit the buttery biscuit base!**
[00:40] <Remus> Stephan didn't render them unconcious completely, I may not like spheroids, but I am not that cruel.
[00:40] <Gamesmaster> *The other man was near to the door, on hands and knnes and the bullet strikes home in his upper back. Remus sees a look of agonised disbelief before the door slams shut, and another wave of screams pass over through the door
[00:41] <Gamesmaster> They quickly cease with a soft, low gurgling noise, leaving only a faint hissing through the aperture*
[00:43] <Remus> *Stephan, remind me next time I see you, to break your fingers*
[00:45] <Gamesmaster> *I'd like to see you try, Freeborth" comes the reply, quickly and succintly. REmus hears the faint sound of a mech reactor comingonly*
[00:46] <Gamesmaster> *Vane, finally ahold of the Locust, begins to pull with one arm whilst smashing the robotic arms holding the Locust IIC in place. With a horrendous smashing noise, the arms holding it in place fall away, one bu one, as Vane applies the asmsh it with a hammer technique*
[00:47] <Jacob_Dorn> BOSH!
[00:47] <^Vane^> **easy does it**
[00:47] <Gamesmaster> *Pull the locust IIC forward, the arms holding the myomer in place release , unable to withstand the power of the Battlemech pulling it out and through. Holding it ungainly, now with both arms, Vane drags it free*
[00:47] <Gamesmaster> *Pulling **
[00:48] <^Vane^> There we go.
[00:48] <Gamesmaster> *Who is in my battlemech?* comes Stephans voice, over the comm link
[00:48] <^Vane^> *2-2*
[00:49] <Dierson_Pyre> **none of your concern** check on the other mechs and get them prepared to move to the surface**
[00:49] <Remus> *How about that hand breaking now, Sparky*
[00:49] <Gamesmaster> *I am more than capable of pulling that mech myself. I will take over the operation, lead.* he says over open comms
[00:49] *** Trunham (~Trunham@90.205.72.229) joined
[00:49] <Gamesmaster> *Quiet freebirth, I was not addressing you* he snaps

Over the next several hours, the Cadets work to prepare the unit for departure, eventually all reaching the top of the elevator.

[01:36] <Jacob_Dorn> **My Arm is still out on the western ridge...... somewhere.**

[01:51] * Remus runs one last sensor sweep to check for anything.
[01:51] <Gamesmaster> *It isn't long before Vane scouring the surface, sees where the warhammer still lies unmoving. It is surrounded by debris, and in one area, the shattered limb of the cobra. It looks surprisingly intact. The shattered torso components of the Cobra look scattered everywher*

You see the vague forms of a Conjurer and a Griffin IIC dispersing to the left and right flanking it, outwards towards the perimeters of the base*
[02:06] <Dierson_Pyre> **Aff, we took care of what was here regardless**
[02:07] * Jacob_Dorn downloads the Cobra's battle log to his PDA

[02:10] <Dierson_Pyre> **There is isorla in the form of a Warhammer a few clicks in the direction of the incoming incubus**
[02:11] <Gamesmaster> *"Impressive. It is good to see that even though they got the drop on us, we won the day."* he replies. "*A warhammer? That is heavy equipment for simple bandits. However, I'm afraid Isorla will be unable to claimed today. Maybe when the support forces arrived it can be recovered."*
[02:12] <Gamesmaster> *"You mentioned a full three lances of Mechs? Is this accurate?" he replies

[02:14] <Remus> *We recovered some ammount of data, suggesting they may not have been simple bandits, but a larger more organized group*
[02:14] <Gamesmaster> *Further dust is kicked up as the form of the Claws of Vengeance also begins its descent, to the left of the Hazens Pride*
[02:15] <Dierson_Pyre> **Aff, confirmation on intel**
[02:16] <Gamesmaster> *".. DeVega and Zenobia will need to see this immediately. All this points to needing a serious tactical and strategic reassessment of the current mission. Your blooding mission may have just become alot more complicated.*

[02:16] <^Vane^> *If I may, the third lance was away and ambushed while half our group was down below. Unknown if it was a patrol mission, or there is something else out here.*
[02:17] <Gamesmaster> *"Lysander, remember discpline, now, quiaff?"* cuts in another transmission, from the griffin IIC.
[02:17] <Gamesmaster> *"Aff"* comes the short reply.
[02:17] <Jacob_Dorn> **Yes Mother.**
[02:18] <Dierson_Pyre> **Aff, Vane is correct,  I must also point out again that Claw 2 and 3 are current barely operational, if we are sent into further combat we may not be able to fullfill mission requirements...this is not out of our own safety, but in regards to any future operational successes**

[02:21] <Gamesmaster> *"Agreed there, no chance for a codex entry on this rock. Not even a single surat running around anywhere to check the pressure sensors on my Conjurer"* comes another interjection

[02:25] <Gamesmaster> *"Downtime even"* he finishes off. In the background, the Claws of Vengeance has landed, and the dropship doors begin to open, slowly.
[02:25] <Gamesmaster> *This is Svetomir, operations reports that boarding can now begin.
