Resilient Session 6: POV's

Sgt_Eberstark:
TheResilientGM
You've been sent to Larros as part of the latest shipment of officers sent in to replace those lost on the first wave. Immediately, you're called in to receive your orders from the Colonel's staff.
* Sgt_Eberstark heads to the order receiving place thing
TheResilientGM
"Sergeant Eberstark... it's going to be 3rd Company, 2nd Platoon. There's a squad with an opening for NCO" the aide is about ready to hand you the parchment with your orders, when the Colonel enters the room.
The men inside stand at attention.
* Sgt_Eberstark stands at attention
TheResilientGM
"No sign of intelligible Low-Gothic in the entire damned Company!" he directs his complaint to a representative of the Departmento Munitorum.
He then turns to you.
"You, sergeant, are you on active duty?"
Sgt_Eberstark
"Yes sir."
TheResilientGM
"Where did you receive your training?" he inquires, looking for any markers of nobility on you.
Sgt_Eberstark
"Basic training, sir. Law enforcement before I enlisted."
TheResilientGM
"Good enough. You'll serve as my aid to Captain..." he checks a dataslate.
Sgt_Eberstark
"Yes sir."
TheResilientGM
"Captain Geriatto. He's just arrived. Company of Greens... from a planet I won't waste your time telling you about. A Low-Gothic the likes of which you've never heard. Get them acquainted with Prithian customs and procedures, so they can be of use during operations."
Sgt_Eberstark
"Yes sir."
TheResilientGM
"Make use of your squad for this. Dismissed."
* Sgt_Eberstark salutes
TheResilientGM
You are handed your orders, and the squad's commbead frequencies.
* Sgt_Eberstark takes mental note of them and adjusts his com-bead to the frequency

Gru Persay:
Gru_Persay"Meat. Hurry. The machines need us."
TheResilientGMMeat speeds up, his body wobbling awkwardly.
Gru_Persay"Meat. Wait. Here. I'll return in a little bit."
Gru_Persayheads towards the QM.
TheResilientGMThe servitor stops, and freezes in place.
Gru_Persayruns by Meat and yells "Meat. Follow. NOW!"
TheResilientGM"MEAT"
TheResilientGMAs you arrive, you find crews desperately putting out a fire.
Gru_Persaylooks around for a Guardsmen or another tech priest.
TheResilientGMIt seems some of the Technomats ineptly placed a damaged vehicle for repairs on an active landing strip. An incoming pilot didn't see it in time. Both vehicles are engulfed in flames.
Gru_Persay"By the Omnissiah..."
Gru_Persayyells out "PUT OUT THE FIRES NOW!"
Gru_Persay"Meat. Assist. Crew."
TheResilientGMMeat is unresponsive.
Gru_Persay"Meat. Follow."
TheResilientGMYou can see and even hear the wounded around you, both of the craft, and repair crew.
TheResilientGMBoth vehicles are damaged badly.

Otto Schneider:
    Schneider       arrives at the Jaeger's tents. "Boys we got ourselves a little problem."
            TheResilientGM  "If it's about the damned patrols, then you're going to have to take this up with the Captain."
            Schneider       "Nah we got a pest problem, the local wildlife seem to enjoy chewin on boots. I think we should put our skills to use to clear out their nest. Not to mention they're good eatin and have nice furs. How em Hector."
            TheResilientGM  Hector shows off the pelt. He's trimmed it to a usable shape, rounded to form a pouch.
            TheResilientGM  "Ah, very nice... you selling that?"
            TheResilientGM  Hector turns to look at Schneider.
            Schneider       "Possibly, but we need to find the nest. I'll cut ya in on it since it's my idea and all."
            TheResilientGM  "Well, we've got traps."
            Schneider       "Well then how about we clear it with your Captain and see if we can get the go ahead to set em up around the camp."
            TheResilientGM  "Join our patrol this evening, and we'll have a chance to set them up."
            Schneider       "I'll see what I can do. Not sure what my orders are today but if I can I'll join ya."
            TheResilientGM  "You'll probably get your orders soon. If it's another patrol, we could get one of us to replace you so you can join us instead. Simple shit, really... easy patrol routes."
            Schneider       "Sounds good I'll see you guys later."
            Schneider       leaves with Hector back to the squad's tent.
            Schneider       arrives at the tower he's supposed to be in.
            TheResilientGM  You arrive a half-hour early to the outpost. You realize it guards over one of the main routes which exits to the North - used by the quartermasters to secure supplies to troops on deployment.
            Schneider       heads up with Hector to see who he'll be replacing.
            TheResilientGM  "They haven't come back," the trooper says without looking away from his magnoculars.
            Schneider       "Who hasn't?"
            TheResilientGM  He turns to you, and realizes he doesn't recognize you.
            TheResilientGM  "Oh, I take it you're the new watch?"
            Schneider       "Yup we're it. Trooper Schneider and Trooper Sigmund reporting for duty."
            TheResilientGM  "Guardsman Mannfred" he nods. He turns back to the horizon and scans with his magnoculars again.
            TheResilientGM  "Fourth Convoy this week."
            Schneider       "Any radio response after they reach a certain km marker?"
            TheResilientGM  "Some sort of interferance at Km 22. It's been there since we made planetside. Mobile Vox units effectively deal with it, but our patrols have been disappearing."
            Schneider       "Have you sent out the Jaegers? If anyone can find out what's doing this they can."
            TheResilientGM  He grabs his gear, and hands you the magnoculars. "Supply lines are hurting. Colonel's likely to send them out soon. He'll be setting up defensive posts with comms stations to keep the lines open."
            Schneider       "Huh, I bet my squad could head out there and check it out. We did most of the forward stuff during the first assault."
            TheResilientGM  "If you see anything, call it out. I'll be downstairs. Take the watch."
            Schneider       nods and grabs the magnoculars."
            TheResilientGM  On the horizon, you see an approaching squad 3 troopers approach as fast as they can. Two of them carry a wounded comrade, while the third separates himself by a few meters and keeps guard as they advance.
            Schneider       picks up the intercom for the tower. "We got wounded incoming get some medics ready to respond. All guards be on alert it looks like they're being followed."
            TheResilientGM  Mannfred quickly climbs up to your side.
            Schneider       unslings his longlas and gets it ready.
            TheResilientGM  "let me see"
            Schneider       has Hector hand him the magnoculars,
            TheResilientGM  You're quickly joined by a pair of Jaegers who take point.
            TheResilientGM  "Where are we looking?" one of them asks, while scanning and adjusting his scope.
            Schneider       "Along the road near the horizon. I saw 3 of them one is wounded."
            TheResilientGM  "Got it" his spotter replies.
            Schneider       and Hector look for what ever it is is following them.
            TheResilientGM  A friendly pair of Taurus vehicles rushes towards them.
            Schneider       "This doesn't feel like the rebels we've ran up against so far. They were fucking push overs."
            TheResilientGM  "Colonel's been shelling their positions, but it's had little effect."
            Schneider       "Huh they might be dug in like badgers then."
            TheResilientGM  "They're a fecking infestation, alright."
            TheResilientGM  The Taurus crews catch up to the men and have them board. They make their way back to base.
            TheResilientGM  A few medicae staff arrive and wait.
            Schneider       "Any idea what's after them yet?"
            TheResilientGM  "Don't see a thing..."
            TheResilientGM  A las round suddenly strikes one of the vehicles.
            TheResilientGM  "Fecking sharpshooters."
            Schneider       "Where'd that come from?"
            TheResilientGM  You spot 2 enemy soldiers running away from their firing position and into the shrubbery off the side of the road.
            Schneider       "Got em! 400 meters heading to the bushes!"
            Schneider       fires off a shot and downs of the sharpshooters "Got one someone get the other!"
            TheResilientGM  The man drops to the ground. His partner stops, and tries to drag him into cover.
            TheResilientGM  You hear a round fire off next to you as the Jaeger squeezes his trigger. You watch as the second enemy falls face-first onto the ground.
            Schneider       "Good shot. Any more?"
            TheResilientGM  "Negative" he stands up straight and slings his weapon over his shoulder, "but the Colonel's going to want to know about this."
            TheResilientGM  He climbs down the tower.
            Schneider       continues scanning the area for more targets.
            TheResilientGM  On the distance, you spot two chimeras making their way back to base, kicking up dust as they travel.
            Schneider       ++Two Chimeras in bound++
            TheResilientGM  ++Two? Something's very wrong.++
            Schneider       ++That's what I see, they're Prithian colors.++
            Schneider       ++Get medics ready they might have wounded++
            TheResilientGM  ++Medicae Ward isn't having any of it. Some sort of explosion in the Southern Quarter's got them busy. If they have wounded, escort them to get treatment++
            Schneider       ++Roger, we'll do what we can++
            TheResilientGM  As the vehicles approach, you can hear one of the engines struggling. They've been hit hard.
            TheResilientGM  ++One wounded. A Lieutenant. He can still walk. Escort him in, we'll take watch++
            Schneider       "We'll get him there Sir."
            Schneider       heads over and helps support him.
            Schneider       "So what happened Sir? We got the sharpshooters."
            TheResilientGM  "Came out of fucking nowhere. First, all comms went down. Then the infantry escorting us disappears... like fucking ghosts."
            Schneider       "Should we get the Colonel so you can debrief him once we get you to the medicae Sir?"
            TheResilientGM  "I'll send someone over. You with the Jaegers?"
            Schneider       "Yes Sir, we're part of 3rd Platoon."
            TheResilientGM  "Get your shit set up. I'll cover your patrol duty. You'll be hearing from us soon."
            Schneider       "Yes Sir. I'll get the rest of my squad."
            TheResilientGM  Two medicae personnel see you approaching and help the Lieutenant.
            TheResilientGM  "Be ready!" he calls as he's taken in for treatment.
            Schneider       nods. "We will be Sir."
