Grey Path 4

[23:43]	GM-Kiri	[From last time. Somewhere in the frigid north, three maidens are being chased around by a good 'ol Russian tank. What would they do now that their employer is in the truck warming herself up with heater? Let's find out!]
[23:45]	GM-Kiri	[at the edge of the forest, a T-60 tank comes out. Along with a company of armed, angry men with AKs.]
[23:46]	Quenby	sees none of this and is busy not getting shot at by Thermal Scope spammers by being dang cold.
[23:47]	Quenby	hears Nain and some other girl, though.
[23:49]	Quenby	probably HEARS the tank though, and pokes her head out of the snow to look. WHY IS IT SO COLD.
[23:50]	Quenby	decides that Nain is a "big girl" and can handle herself. Tanks are not cool things.
[23:52]	Porfiria	clicks her tongue. If only she'd known she should have brought AT weapons...
[23:52]	Quenby	whispers, {Stupid sniper lone-wolf do-nothing, leaving me out to dry...}
[23:54]	Nain	sees tank.
[23:54]	Nain	sees tank move.
[23:54]	Nain	Move, Nain, move!
[23:55]	Quenby	is sick and tired of doing nothing being outgunned by lame snipers! If she can just sneak closer it'll be HER time to shine~
[23:55]	Nain	grabs her rifle and its case while this asshole who snuck up on her is busy staring at it.
[23:56]	Nain	"It" being the goddamn tank
[23:56]	Quenby	takes and chance and makes a break for it, trying to keep low and near the ground. It's a lot of ground to cover...
[23:56]	Nain	executes plan F
[23:56]	Nain	Although it's more like plan FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
[23:56]	GM-Kiri	[Tank wants to say hello. It happily moving its LONGASS BARREL your way.]
[23:57]	Nain	The plan entails HAULING ASS.
[23:57]	Nain	Later, bitch.
[23:58]	Nain	offers a pleasant farewell as she runs off.
[23:59]	Quenby	leaves a trail of blood as she runs, but it's a blizzard and there are other things to care about.
[00:07]	Porfiria	quickly moves, keeping her head down while looking for both vantage points and hiding places from the newly arriving troops. Although she moves quickly, she makes an effort not to stand out too much against the snow and draw attention that isn't already trained on her.
[00:07]	Quenby	has booked it halfway to the treeline without a problem. Come on, come on, get in closer...!
[00:08]	GM-Kiri	[the tank fires its main gun, exploding awfully close to Nain. Though not lethal, the force sends Nain rolling. snow piling up on her like a snowman.]
[00:10]	GM-Kiri	[the army men are still running towards the group, yelling unintelligible Russian accent. Quenby's SMG is in range now!]
[00:10]	GM-Kiri	[snowstorm subsides a bit, giving the area clearer view.]
[00:12]	Nain	goes flying, slams into a tree, and drops into a snow bank. Between her impact and the shockwave, the tree sheds a great deal of snow right onto the stunned Nain.
[00:12]	Nain	is in Ouchytown.
[00:13]	Nain	...O..w..
[00:15]	GM-Kiri	[Porfiria can get a clearer view on the adversary. 6-6-2 basic squad, accompany with T-60.]
[00:16]	Porfiria	thinks. No way to take them on head-on, so it's either try to sneak past them altogether or use stealth and maneuvering to take them out covertly. Hm...
[00:17]	Nain	is also visiting tourist attractions in Got The Wind Knocked out of her, and is soon to discover the quaint rustic charms of scenic Can't Hear Shit, Captain.
[00:18]	GM-Kiri	[the radio is still down, but---]
[00:18]	GM-Kiri	[on the other side of the plain, there's also two APCs running your way!]
[00:18]	Nain	gurgk.
[00:19]	GM-Kiri	[An angry Russian spots the red dot in the snow!]
[00:19]	GM-Kiri	[An angry Russian follows the trail, and also spot Q!]
[00:22]	GM-Kiri	[They shout angry things, and shower an angry hot lead at fleeing Q!]
[00:24]	Quenby	is FAR more angry because Nain is a loser and let her get shot TWICE. Her anger gives her the power to dodge bullets, or maybe outrun them!
[00:25]	Quenby	makes it to the treeline amazingly and quickly takes cover under a low-hanging pine tree!
[00:25]	GM-Kiri	[Quen runs into the forest! The squad is undecided whether to chase Quenby or continue on to rape Nain with their tank.]
[00:28]	GM-Kiri	[in the end, they leave the running rat to their backups, which should come soon. they marches forward.]
[00:29]	Nain	tries to pull herself together, despite being in such lousy shape. The pain management techniques she knows were generally in the context of having a bullet or two lodged in her, not a near-miss from a tank shell. Still, she twitches, rolls onto her side as best she can, and tries crawling out of the snowbank.
[00:30]	Quenby	takes deep breaths and grips her SMG. All right, hard part's over...
[00:30]	GM-Kiri	[the tank barrel changes direction, and make a scrap out of incoming APC! the smell of burning flesh!]
[00:31]	GM-Kiri	[more gunmen pours out of the second APC. their uniform's different from the first!]
[00:32]	GM-Kiri	[RPG7 fired! hits the tank's thread! they start fragging each other. Shit's going haywire!]
[00:33]	GM-Kiri	[and the best part is, Nain and Porfiria are stuck in the middle!]
[00:34]	Nain	can very vaguely hear some distant thudding noises
[00:36]	GM-Kiri	[and while they are at it, snowstorm subsides.]
[00:36]	Nain	groans as she rolls all the way over onto her belly, clumsily slithering out of her little snow-coffin.
[00:37]	Quenby	slowly inches her way from tree to tree, trying to get closer to the tank without being seen...
[00:38]	Porfiria	quickly looks around for any cover or concealment to be found. She's not in a good place to be, especially with the visibility going up.
[00:39]	GM-Kiri	[porfiria's visible cover: her vehicle, that pile of snow over there, Nain's tree (that got blasted just now), and plain snow.
[00:39]	GM-Kiri	]
[00:40]	GM-Kiri	[Quen is not being seen. The guy behind the tank is still busy with his recon job, yelling coordinate to the tank's gunner.]
[00:43]	Nain	emerges in front of her dropped rifle and rifle case. Somehow, they're never too far away.
[00:44]	Nain	tries to clear her mind and push away the pain. picking up her rifle, she tries to find a spot to settle in...
[00:44]	Nain	...
[00:45]	Nain	wonders where in fuck the burning APC and boatload of other troops came from.
[00:45]	Nain	...whuuhh?
[00:45]	GM-Kiri	<-Hey guys! Did you reach the compound yet?->
[00:45]	GM-Kiri	[It's Aliza over the radio!]
[00:46]	GM-Kiri	<-snowstorm's over, and I don't want to sit here all by myself with an unpaid merchandise!->
[00:46]	Nain	still can't hear shit, Captain. She's beginning to put together that the distant thudding sounds may in fact be the chatter of nearby gunfire however.
[00:47]	GM-Kiri	<-Yoohoo?->
[00:48]	Porfiria	makes a break for her vehicle, hoping it's not a move conspicuous enough to make someone try to destroy it.
[00:48]	Nain	decides she'll work on whacking the guys who attacked her first. Maybe these new chumps will need killing, too, but for now...
[00:49]	Quenby	sees a mounted machine gun on the tank. She wonders... yeah, sure, why not~?
[00:50]	Nain	settles her scope on the tank. How best to take it out...?
[00:50]	Quenby	quietly emerges from the treeline and sneaks her way to behind the spotter. Come on, big man, just keep looking forwards...
[00:50]	GM-Kiri	[Porfiria get there just fine. The engine's still running, even!]
[00:51]	GM-Kiri	[and as if he heard Q's plea, he keep on looking forward! To bright future!]]
[00:52]	Quenby	gets up behind him and clubs his head with her TEC. It is a blunt metal object and hurts a whole lot.
[00:53]	Quenby	hits him a few more times for good measure. She's just a little noodle-arm girl, after all~!
[00:53]	Porfiria	goes for her coms equipment and tries to get on the frequency of the boss. Does she know about this?
[00:53]	Nain	's first target is the enemy reinforcements that just arrived. ...And who are having some kind of violent altercation with the spotter...?
[00:54]	Nain	blinks, pulls away, frowns at her rifle, rubs the end of the scope clean, and tries again.
[00:54]	Nain	Waaaait a minute. That's no enemy reinforcement! That's, uh
[00:54]	Quenby	also decides to grab the man's binoculars and stuffs them in her coat. It's a little habit of hers.
[00:54]	Nain	...Uh...
[00:54]	Nain	...The idiot who can't drive.
[00:55]	GM-Kiri	[Q's target goes blargle. He quits moving, because he's tired of it.]
[00:55]	Quenby	does not need to know how to drive a tank! Because she can SHOOT with one instead!
[00:56]	Quenby	climbs up onto the tank and mans its own HEAVY MASSHHEEN GUN!
[00:56]	GM-Kiri	[ALAS, IT IS NOT LOADED!]
[00:56]	GM-Kiri	[Probably because they don't wanna man a top MG while in showstorm. Shit's cold, y'know?]
[00:59]	Quenby	goes ffffffffff.
[01:00]	Quenby	does not let this dampen her spirits! She is behind enemy lines and having a wonderful time! Quiet Girl couldn't do this, she bets!
[01:00]	Nain	decides to just start shooting guys in the uniforms of the tank pe-- wait, what is that buzzing in her ears?
[01:01]	Nain	presses her headset's rearpiece closer in, as if this would somehow help
[01:02]	GM-Kiri	[porfiria can contact Aliza via siberian default frequency.]
[01:02]	Nain	It does not, however.
[01:02]	GM-Kiri	<-Hellooooooooo? Anyone?->
[01:02]	Nain	<Um. Boss... hawk? Hog?>
[01:03]	GM-Kiri	<-Finally! A respond? who?->
[01:03]	Nain	's voice is sort of drunk-sounding. It's wobbly and unsure.
[01:04]	GM-Kiri	[the guy inside open the hatch to yell at his spotter, and instead found Quenby.]
[01:04]	GM-Kiri	[He ask you in Russian.]
[01:04]	Nain	<Boss Hoggg, this, this is. Uh. ...Algebra? >
[01:05]	GM-Kiri	<-JUST TELL ME YOUR NAME PLEASE->
[01:05]	Nain	<I'm ...ouch.>
[01:05]	GM-Kiri	<-I really don't like being alone! you guys get to be inside a shelter with food and snacks and hot cocoa! I'm all freezing in here with only radio as my friend! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!?->
[01:06]	Nain	<Uh.>
[01:07]	Nain	<There's, a. A tank. And I've got a headache. And a back-one, too.>
[01:07]	GM-Kiri	<-Oh it's nain! You said tank? what kind? is it my product?->
[01:07]	Nain	<Didn't know those were so loud.>
[01:07]	Nain	<Reallyyyyy loud.>
[01:08]	Nain	<...Hey. Hey, Boss Hog.>
[01:08]	Nain	<Uhhh.>
[01:08]	Nain	<Yeah, so.>
[01:08]	Nain	<There's like, a tank.>
[01:08]	Nain	<...>
[01:09]	Porfiria	gives Aliza a call, speaking as clearly as possible.
[01:09]	Nain	<They're loud, wand, and when it, you know, and boom, and stuff.>
[01:12]	GM-Kiri	<-You're not making any sense. But that's okay too since it's kind of cute.->
[01:13]	GM-Kiri	<-Anyway, Heli will be at your IR strobe in five minutes. I call one from headquarter since you guys are so slow.->
[01:14]	GM-Kiri	[the tank driver then notice something's wrong, and then wrestle with Quenby for her gun!]
[01:19]	GM-Kiri	[He grabs Q's gun and kick you out of his tank, down to the snow below.]
[01:21]	Quenby	disapproves a whole lot!
[01:28]	Kiri	[he then whips out P90 personal defense, a tank driver's no.1 choice!]
[01:29]	Nain	thinks the other person isn't talking anymore. Eh, whatever. She goes back to the gun.
[01:29]	Quenby	hates Belgian trash :|
[01:29]	Nain	...Well, this wasn't happening last time she looked. Honestly, that girl.
[01:32]	Quenby	crawls under the tank and fumbles for her radio. Maybe Nain can actually DO something for once!
[01:32]	Porfiria	Petrovna here, do you copy? We have a situation here.
[01:32]	Nain	settles her crosshairs on the driver as he pulls out his P90. Oh hey, she's got one of those... somewhere. Well, whatshername can have this one.
[01:35]	Nain	pulls the trigger, and redecorates the inside of the driver's helmet. The man slumps over, and drops his gun, which lands a few feet away from Quenby (by accident.)
[01:36]	Quenby	sees a magic gun fall from the sky!
[01:38]	Nain	moves on to better things.
[01:40]	Quenby	grabs it for the time being and plans her climb back upwards. Noticing that the guy is dead makes the climb a lot easier.
[01:43]	Quenby	jumps into the belly of the tank and reclaims her TEC. She discards the P90, because it is not hers, and she doesn't like Belgium.
[01:45]	Kiri	<-be advised. Pickup coming your way in five minutes!->
[01:48]	Quenby	looks at the controls. How the heck do you shoot this thing?!
[01:49]	Kiri	[thankfully one shot is loaded and ready to fire. The red and obvious button is probably the "make them pay" button.]
[01:53]	Quenby	still is skeptical. If she misses she blows up Quiet Girl maybe. That'd be... umm... Boss wouldn't be happy.
[01:53]	Nain	continues to snipe enemy troops while waiting for her hearing to return. It's down to a dull, sloshy roar, now
[01:54]	Kiri	<hey did you meet another one from the company that should be inside the camp? Or maybe--- oh hey she's in the line! Hi!>
[01:55]	Kiri	[Aliza notices additional third party in her freq.]
[01:56]	Quenby	fiddles with some cranks to see if she can aim the gun at the guys right in front of her.
[01:58]	Kiri	[it moves around!]
[02:00]	Quenby	tries to look out the window and see where the barrel of the tank is. She just needs to be vaguely close, after all!
[02:01]	Kiri	[she can see with minimal visibility. That's what bad about old tanks.
[02:02]	Kiri	]
[02:04]	Quenby	thinks she has a good shot on the enemy! She bites the bullet and fires the shell!
[02:04]	Kiri	[the second APC is blown up sky high!]
[02:04]	Quenby	thinks that shot was a little too high...
[02:05]	Kiri	<-air cavalry's coming!->
[02:05]	Nain	can't help noticing the BOOOOM of an explosion.
[02:06]	Kiri	[in the sky, there's that HinD you guys supposed to deliver. Yelling in the cockpit is Aliza and another faceless pilot.]
[02:07]	Kiri	"it's not for transport but I suppose you can if you try hard enough. Hop in!"
[02:07]	Nain	notice the downwash of air before she's heard the chopper itself.
[02:08]	Quenby	pokes her head out of the tank.
[02:08]	Kiri	[its double vulcan is mowing down all the people in its path.]
[02:08]	Kiri	"think of this as a weapon demonstration!"
[02:10]	Nain	grabs her shit and boards
[02:10]	Nain	promptly.
[02:11]	Quenby	gets to da choppa. Her face is blown full of snow.
[02:11]	Kiri	"come on! Whatchawaitin'for?"
[02:11]	Kiri	[aliza yells at distant porfiria.]
[02:12]	Quenby	looks at Nain.
[02:12]	Quenby	"...Took you long enough."
[02:12]	Nain	Huhh?
[02:13]	Nain	has dried blood trails coming out of both ears.
[02:13]	Quenby	notices Nain's a little worse for wear, not unlike herself.
[02:14]	Porfiria	darts over, making sure to be well out of the area where the vulcans are going, and joins the rest by jumping inside.
[02:14]	Aliza	"hey there!"
[02:14]	Nain	:|s at the sight of Standoff Skank
[02:15]	Quenby	doesn't worry about it for now. She's REALLY tired.
[02:15]	Aliza	[the chopper lifts off, leaving a trail of destruction behind. The pilot blow that tank up for good.]
[02:15]	Aliza	"aw, sheesh. There's a lot of compensation to pay..."
[02:16]	Quenby	"Then YOU drive next time, Boss."
[02:16]	Quenby	"Stupid Russian icy roads, expect me to drive on that crap..."
[02:16]	Quenby	grumbles.
[02:17]	Aliza	"i don't have a driving license~"
[02:18]	Quenby	:T
[02:19]	Aliza	"oh! Here's my brother's ex-bodyguard. Transferred to me as of today."
[02:19]	Aliza	"you guys knows each other already?"
[02:19]	Quenby	looks at some girl. She never really got a good look at her.
[02:19]	Quenby	"Nnnoo...?"
[02:20]	Nain	can tell Aliza is saying something, but can't make out specifics. Her boyfriend's lifeguard? Huh?
[02:20]	Porfiria	Didn't really get the chance to get introduced. The name's Porfiria Petrovna.
[02:20]	Porfiria	waves.
[02:20]	Quenby	nods.
[02:21]	Quenby	"Quenby."
[02:21]	Nain	"Something something, didn't get the perforated petrol"
[02:21]	Nain	...The fuck is she even saying?
[02:22]	Nain	What good's a lifeguard, anyway?
[02:23]	Aliza	"there's another serious Japanese person! you'll like her!"
[02:24]	Aliza	[chopper flies, so does the money in Aliza's pocket. Paying for collateral damage will be a bitch, and there goes her profit. Will Aliza flourish as a true arms dealer? Time will tell!]
