[11:08am] Balthazaar: ~This would be the perfect time to light up a smoke and- shit... ~ Mark remembers yesterday.
[11:13am] Balthazaar: Mark decides to go for a little walk to clear his head. He begins getting dressed.
[11:15am] Alivi: Does he check his shoes?
[11:15am] Balthazaar: That he does. He shakes each upside down before putting them on.
[11:16am] Alivi: A scorpion falls out of one.
[11:16am] Alivi: plop
[11:17am] Balthazaar: Mark stares at the scorpion. How thick is its tail?
[11:18am] Alivi: pretty thick, it is a black shiny one.
[11:19am] Balthazaar: "I think you can go somewhere else." Mark grabs a stick and tries to encourage the scorpion onto it.
[11:19am] Balthazaar: But before he does that, he films it for a second with his video camera
[11:19am] Alivi: It crawls onto it.
[11:22am] Balthazaar: Mark transports the scorpion about 20 ft away from the camp

[11:27am] Balthazaar: And then Mark goes for a bit of a walk, staying close to camp and looking around

[5:38pm] Echo: Jason sits on a rock, leaned back on his assault pack and staring out at the jungle as rain beats down on his poncho. He fidgets under the rainslick for a moment, the sixty slung over his chest getting in his way, then adjusts his balaclava, pulling it down far enough to stick a cigarette in his mouth, lights it, and takes a draw.

[6:43pm] Balthazaar: Mark has been snoozing. He wakes up and rubs his eyes
[6:53pm] Alivi: the rain starts to lighten
[6:53pm] Gara: "Well, the rain was so very nice."
[6:53pm] TheRaven: "About time."
[6:54pm] Echo: Jason lights another cigarette, puffs at it, and pulls his balaclava back up as he glances toward the canopy.
[6:54pm] Balthazaar: Mark considers swimming away from Jason's cigarette
[6:55pm] Echo: "I almost forgot what a pain in the ass tryin' to smoke with gloves on is."

[6:59pm] Balthazaar: "Don't mind me, you go ahead if you want."
[7:00pm] Alivi: The water level is lowering. You can probs get to the gate
[7:01pm] Echo: Jason digs through his IFAK, pulls out a small bottle marked "Atovaquone." He pops the top, swallows one, shoves it back into his gear, and stands.
[7:01pm] Balthazaar: "We going to try for the gate?
[7:01pm] Balthazaar: "
[7:02pm] Echo: "I saw we move back to the village, get the boats, head back upriver to a landline, and call for a helo."

[7:03pm] Strife: Rick is efficient.
[7:04pm] Alivi: Rick….you hear a rustling.
[7:04pm] Echo: "How about we *don't* do somethin' that might be completely catastrophic."
[7:04pm] Strife: Rick looks in that direction, rifle coming up.
[7:04pm] Echo: "This place is bad ju-ju, right? What if poppin' the cork lets out more shit?"
[7:05pm] Gara: "Ya never know if you don't investigate."
[7:05pm] Balthazaar: "Whatever we do, we need to do it quick. We need to make sure nobody else gets taken."
[7:05pm] Echo: Jason tracks with Rick, bringing his 60 up and tacking the charging handle. "Contact."
[7:05pm] Alivi: Its a monkey, they are looking for food.
[7:05pm] Gara: "I do-" Loren backs behind Jason, prodcuing a fancy machete.
[7:05pm] Echo: "Monkeys."
[7:06pm] Echo: "..."
[7:06pm] Strife: "Hiya monkeys."
[7:06pm] Strife: I'm going to scout the area quick.
[7:06pm] Strife: "
[7:06pm] Balthazaar: Mark pulls out his video camera to film the monkey
[7:06pm] Alivi: The chatter and shuffle.
[7:06pm] Alivi: Mark one notices you.
[7:07pm] Echo: "Take Mark with ya, dude."
[7:07pm] TheRaven: "Not alone you're not, Rick."
[7:07pm] Balthazaar: "Yeah, I'll come with you."
[7:08pm] Strife: "Yeah, just a quick circuit of the campsite."
[7:09pm] Alivi: Mark the monkey approaches you
[7:09pm] Strife: Rick steps off, scanning around
[7:09pm] Balthazaar: Mark watches the monkey approach, wary but somewhat delighted
[7:11pm] Alivi: It looks at the poolboys and wanders over to loren and tries to get into her bags
[7:12pm] Balthazaar: "Alright, that's enough you..." Mark fires a shot into the air
[7:12pm] Echo: 6df+8 Jason fires a single shot into it.
[7:12pm] Glacon: Echo: Jason fires a single shot into it.: 8 (6df+8=-, -, 0, +, 0, +)

[7:12pm] Alivi: so dead
[7:12pm] Strife26 joined the chat room.
[7:12pm] Gara: "Jesus fuck, Jason."
[7:12pm] Alivi: blood is pooling
[7:13pm] Balthazaar: Mark takes one look at Jason and then goes off with Rick
[7:13pm] TheRaven: "Is that /really/ fucking necessary?"
[7:13pm] Strife: Rick jumps a bit and moves to a spot of concealed cover.
[7:13pm] Echo: "Yeah, it is."
[7:13pm] Alivi: The other monkeys chatter and run away
[7:13pm] Strife: "Going to see if the shot attracts anything instead, then."
[7:14pm] TheRaven: "Well, we should be able to open the gate now, at least."
[7:14pm] Echo: "Like I said before, we got no idea if they might be carryin' anything."
[7:15pm] Strife26: Rick is very quiet, waiting for threats.
[7:15pm] Alivi: its quiet.
[7:16pm] Gara: "Alright, so! We have blood."
[7:16pm] Balthazaar: Mark sighs and looks at the dead monkey. ~Well, no use in letting him go to waste.~
[7:18pm] Balthazaar: "Well if you don't mind, I'm going to get what I can from this little guy
[7:18pm] Balthazaar: "
[7:18pm] Strife26: "Let's leave the corpse intact until we decide if we're going to apply it to the gate."
[7:18pm] Echo: "I ain't stoppin' ya, man."
[7:18pm] Strife26: "A butchered corpse might not qualify as a blood sacrifice, if that's what we want to do."
[7:18pm] Gara: "I'm in favor of that."
[7:19pm] Balthazaar: "... Isn't that exactly what a blood sacrifice is?" Mark sounds annoyed
[7:19pm] Strife26: "Maybe?"
[7:19pm] Strife26: "But quite possibly not, too.:"
[7:20pm] TheRaven: "We won't know until we try."
[7:20pm] Strife26: "Corpse might need to be whole so it can mysteriously start on fire or something."
[7:20pm] Strife26: "Struck by lightning"
[7:20pm] Strife26: "Animate and be used as a mouthpiece by Dark Gods."
[7:20pm] Strife26: "Reanimate and become monkey-patient zero."
[7:20pm] Balthazaar: Mark rolls his eyes and sits down. ~I have had enough of this day.~
[7:22pm] TheRaven: "Look, are we going to get to work or not?"
[7:22pm] Balthazaar: "Ready when you are."
[7:23pm] Echo: "So we're really gonna do this?"
[7:23pm] Echo: "Try and pop the seal on this thing?"
[7:23pm] Gara is now known as Garaway.
[7:23pm] Echo: "I ain't tryin' to pull the bitch card, but... I'm just sayin', man."
[7:23pm] Balthazaar: "'s Why we're here."
[7:24pm] TheRaven: "Well what the fuck else are we going to do? Do you have a better idea?"
[7:24pm] Echo: "Yeah, we're supposed to investigate. If you're told to investigate a nuke facility, and you see some shit leakin' under a door, you pull back, report, and come back in properly prepared. You don't pop the door and swim in the shit."
[7:25pm] Echo: "And yeah, I do have a better idea."
[7:25pm] Echo: "We go back to the village, get a boat, get back upriver, contact higher, report, and stand by for follow-on."
[7:25pm] Strife left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
[7:26pm] Balthazaar: "And just leave the villagers go get probably eaten?"
[7:26pm] Alivi: The water level is completely low now
[7:27pm] Strife26 left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[7:28pm] Echo: "Rather than potentially fuckin' shit up worse, and gettin' us killed, leavin' nobody to report, and nobody to do the job, and gettin' them all eaten anyway? Yeah. That's a better option. Nobody can do the job or call home if we do somethin' stupid and get ev'rybody fuckin' wasted."
[7:28pm] GraemeCracker joined the chat room.
[7:29pm] Balthazaar: "And nothing is going to get done at all if we run away with our tails between our legs. We were sent here for a reason and if command thought we needed more help it would've been given to us."
[7:30pm] Echo: "... do you *really* believe that ooh-rah horseshit? If they had half a goddamn bit'a common sense, we wouldn't be relyin' on a bunch villagers and a fuckin' sampan to get here."
[7:31pm] Echo: "But hell, go for it."
[7:32pm] Balthazaar: "I'm saying the opposite. I think that if we had to get a shitbox canoe here then we're the only things that're getting sent here."
[7:32pm] Balthazaar: "They clearly don't want to send choppers, or reinforcements. Looks like we're all that's coming."
[7:32pm] Echo: "Or, you know, like a fuckin' PB, or a goddamn Huey."
[7:33pm] Echo: "But like I said, fuck it. Go ahead. *I* ain't stoppin' ya."
[7:34pm] Balthazaar: Mark shrugs and grabs the monkey corpse. He walks over to the gate.
[7:35pm] TheRaven: Taggart follows, looking rather annoyed
[7:35pm] Echo: Jason follows behind him, and backs up about ten meters. He pops the bipod on his M60, drops to his stomach, and lays in, sighted in on the gate.
[7:36pm] Garaway: "Jason, we're all going to end up dead, aren't we?"

[7:40pm] Balthazaar: Sure why not
[7:40pm] Gara: Loren hides behind Bill and Jason.
[7:40pm] Echo: "Guns up."
[7:40pm] TheRaven: Taggart takes point. What time is it, roughly?
[7:41pm] Balthazaar: Mark squeezes the monkey over the sacrificial stone, face like thunder
[7:41pm] Alivi: The blood drops onto the stone.
[7:41pm] Alivi: Pause

[7:49pm] Alivi: Jason…its Alice
[7:49pm] Alivi: Taggart you dont recgonize her
[7:50pm] PaulS_laptop: what does Bill see?
[7:50pm] TheRaven: "Fucking hell..."
[7:50pm] Echo: "..." Jason raises up. "Clear a firin' line."
[7:50pm] Balthazaar: Mark clears the line, still not pleased
[7:50pm] Alivi: nothing. Its just mark slicing a monkey. The ruins and a large jungle are behind the gate. Same as loren and Mark's sight.

[7:51pm] TheRaven: Taggart flips his thermals into position.
[7:51pm] Alivi: Jason the priest moves out of the way. The Alice's body is limp. Blood drips from her cut wrists
[7:51pm] Alivi: her eyes empty.
[7:52pm] Echo: "Nobody else is seein' this?"
[7:52pm] Balthazaar: "Crap, should've grabbed the monkey, gotten it's bones out.~
[7:53pm] TheRaven: Does he see the same through the thermals?
[7:53pm] Alivi: No taggart
[7:54pm] PaulS_laptop: "Seein' what?"
[7:54pm] PaulS_laptop: "looks clear"
[7:54pm] PaulS_laptop: Bill gets up to advance
[7:54pm] TheRaven: "...there is nothing there. I saw some shit, but it's not registering."
[7:54pm] Alivi: Taggart, Jason you blink and it is the rainy cloudly overgrown jungle.
[7:54pm] Alivi: A dead monkey and Mark
[7:54pm] Echo: "I'm seein' people in there. One's sacrificin' somebody." Jason pops the feed tray cover on his weapon, pulls the belt clear, rides the bolt home, and closes his eyes.
[7:55pm] Echo: He keeps them closed for a moment as he reloads his weapon, then looks back dead ahead.
[7:56pm] Strife: "Everybody stay cautious."
[7:56pm] Echo: "I'm clear. Good to go."
[7:57pm] Balthazaar: Mark goes back to the monkey to get all the useful parts out of it.

[7:59pm] Echo: Jason looks over at him.
[8:00pm] Balthazaar: Mark groans inwardly at the condition of the corpse. He bags what he can of it.
[8:01pm] Strife: "Max range?"
[8:01pm] Echo: "Six hundred meters point, eight hundred meters area. Why?"
[8:01pm] PresidentEvil: Greg paces, at the moment.
[8:01pm] Strife: "That's not max range."
[8:02pm] Balthazaar: Now that he has his monkey bits, Mark looks inside the gate
