Halo

Take 2: This thread RP will still follow the main events of the game, just a little loosely, so that maybe some of you will live through it. For those that haven't spent, far too many hours, indulging in its gameplay and background story I will be keeping a selection of Post it notes handy for your benifit. A couple of things to begin with.

The Covanent: A fellowship of alien races, united in their hatred for the human race and the following of their religious believes about "the Ancients".

The UNSC: United Nations Space Command, the humans, the good gu~~ you guys. With the invent of FTL travel, humans spread out across the galaxy, in their humble stellar navy, at which point they met the Covanent and a lot of them got killed.

Earth and Reach: Reach was the first and most important colony, unfortunately the covanent found it, and glassed the majority of the surface, it was from here that where they were planning the retaliation efforts, which have just been "scundered" and you've barely escaped, along with the last of the Spartan II soldier, (NB - one of the last, but they don't tell you that)

Master Cheif: While the Covanent have superior technology and Humans could usually kick a whole lot of alien booty in ground based combat. The Spartan II project, saw the creation of some real powerful soldiers, using Mjolnir battle armour stuff, and the shield technology the humans reverse engineered off the Elites. You won't get to play as him, being only one on the ship (ssh Crazy, she doesn't count).

Other points: I shall bring to your attention as they are needed, or as questions are asked, as I could quite easily go into one of those rant type things, explaining all the back story, more on the fall of Reach, the Cole portocol, etc etc.

And now: You're on the Piller of Autumn, a halcyon class warship, have just made a random jump through hyperspace, only the covanent got their first, and the ship comes under heavy fire, 12 or more against one kind of thing, and you're going down. For the scripted details, read the first page of the last thread, or just wait until I put up the current situation in the next post.

Re: Halo

Captain Keyes broadcasting throughout the ship: Attention all hands, this is the Captain. Prepare to abandon ship. Combat team, repel boarders until top personnel are away. Good Luck! Keyes Out.

Sergeant: The life pods are launching. We should hurry.


So here's the situation, you're a marine, you've got a marine's helmet (with a marines eye peice motion tracter HUD) and a marine's standard body armour. At your side a marine's standard assault rifle, and you ship is going down. What do you do? You get the hell off before the fireworks. You're on the earlier group, secure a landing site for yourself and senoir personel.

With that, you get in the Bumblebee (the UNSC lifepod), the pilot barely waits until your company is strapped, securing the hatch and preparing to eject from the ship hull.



Sergeant: Punch It!
Pilot: Aye aye, Sir. We're disengaged. Goin' for minimum safe distance.
Marine: We're gonna make it aren't we, sir? I don't wanna die out here.
Sergeant: Down there...
Marine: What is that thing, lieutenant?
Pilot: Hell if I know, but we're landing on it.

Pilot: The Autumn is accelerating. She's going in manually!
Sergeant: Heads up everyone, this is it. We're entering the ring's atmosphere.

---

This is where you post in character, so that I can get numbers worked out and decide where everyone cras~her... lands.

Re: Halo

Alright, I've got all you PCs noted down, along with a weapon of choice from those that specified, those that didn't, don't worry, they're be plenty opportunity to mix and match. However until I introduce the weapons, everyone is stuck with the standard assault rifle and two fragmentation grenades.


Lifepod #1
Aglarzir, Mad Cat, Fluffie

The bumbebee seats 8 marines, restrained by two shoulder bars for their protection, an obsecured view is barely available from where you are seated, but craning you can make out a huge donut shaped structure through the flight lieutenant's cockpit. You're landing on it.

The whole pod is rattling as you hurtle downwards, plants, structures, a huge open expanse, becomes visible on the inner track of the ring. Oddly it appears quite habitabal. The air brakes kick in and the rattling intensifies, it's going to be a rough landing. The pilot struggles the craft around sharply, nose up for landing, from the window in the cockpit you can only make out the canyon walls the pod has desended into. And then "thud". Moments later the hatch hisses and the seating restrants unbolt.

Lifepod #2
AMSE, No Dachi, Bakan

The bumbebee seats 8 marines, restrained by two shoulder bars for their protection, an obsecured view is barely available from where you are seated, but craning you can make out a giant hula-hoop shaped structure through the flight lieutenant's cockpit. We're going in.

The whole pod is shaking as you hurtle downwards, lakes, fields and huge buildings, becomes visible on the inner track of the ring. Looks almost hospitable. The air brakes unfold and you feel the force kicking back. It's going to be a rough landing. The pilot yanks at the controls, the craft dips uneasily, from the window in the cockpit you make out walls, then a large river, then oh dear, that's the ground the rivers on. You can hear the engines, maxxing out on reverse thrust, and then "thud". The lifepod rolls over as it hits the ground, the landing strut crumples under the stress, when you come to rest, the craft is on it's side, half of you are suspected on the restraints, the other half, on their backs looking up.

Lifepod #3
Barbarossa, Crazy, Hewitt

The bumbebee seats 8 marines, restrained by two shoulder bars for their protection, an obsecured view is barely available from where you are seated, but craning you can make out a massive bull ring shaped structure through the flight lieutenant's cockpit. Here comes gravity.

The whole lifeboat is rattling as you plummet downwards, land, sea and cave formations becomes visible on the inner track of the ring. Quite scenic in fact. The air brakes cut in and you are pushed into the seats. Bumblebee landings were never smooth. The pilot pulls the craft around, the nose is high, from the window in the cockpit you make out the stripes of heat, from the friction against the atmosphere, as the black fades into blue, you can spot the horizon, the ring loops, as they do, right up out of view. Then "crunch". The underside, tears through branches, green can be seen briefly streaking passed, and then "thud", you're on the ground. later the hatch hisses and the seating restrants unbolt.



Gentlemen, welcome to "Halo"

Re: Halo

"Right."

Not wanting to be in this flying deathtrap any longer, Tex holds on firmly to her rifle as she makes her way out of the craft, looking through the sight of the weapon as soon as she's on solid ground...

Checking that the immidiate area is clear for the moment, she looks around, looking for a NCO or something.

Re: Halo

Mathers was looking a little bit pale in the face as he came to, and wasn't feeling to "with it" either. Not wanting to throw up onto the four marines lieing beneath him on their backs, he quickly hammered on the release button for his restraints. When they sprung open, No Dachi made an effort to catch hold of one of the restraining pads in order to prevent himself from falling onto those below. Were this effort successful, he attempted to swing-jump his way toward the exit...

Re: Halo

Private Simmons groggilly stood up

"Woah... What a ride!"

He picked up his Assault Rifle and staggered out of the back of the bumblebee. His eyes took a moment to adjust to the birght light as he took in his surroundings, looking for anything nasty or nice.

Re: Halo

Your standard weapon, treat it with respect muchly.

MA5B Assault Rifle: This rifle is gas-operated and magazine-fed. It fires 7.92mm armor-piercing rounds. Rate of fire is limited by a soldier's ability to aim, fire and change magazines. Short, controlled bursts are more accurate than fully automatic fire. The MA5B's integrated computer disaplys the rounds left in the magazine and the relative direction of the gas giant, Threshold, as a point of reference.

More weapons will follow with the supply ships.


Lifepod #1
Aglarzir, Mad Cat, Fluffie


Outside the pod, huge shadows are cast across this section of the terrain, steep cliffs raise unnaturally fencing part of this section. The rear of the pod, a light breaks through the small area of level grass, more interestingly a huge artifical structure, with no visible means of entry. The ground moves to a higher gradient behind the building, a safer scouting position.

Rolecall:
Corporal. Aglarzir (Aglarzir); Private. Mad Cat (Mad cat); Private. Tex (Fluffie); Private. Church; Private. Jenkins; Private. Maison; Private. Urashimi; Private O'Mally; Flight lieutenant. Taylor.

Lifepod #2
ASME, No Dachi, Bakan


Private Mathers is first out of the pod, and quickly takes position surveying the immediate area. The Bumblebee's landing path is clearly visible in the upturned soil and grass, forms of long trench until the final resting place where the pod lies on it's side. A steep cliff fences off the near side, a river runs through a large open expanse of grass land with few trees on the opposite.

Rolecall:
Sergeant Stacker; Corporal. Ceaser (ASME); Private. Mathers (No Dachi); Private. Bakan (Bakan); Private. Dubbo; Private. Kaige; Privates. Black; Private. Ryan; Flight Lieutenant. Tucker

Lifepod #3
Barbarossa, Crazy, Hewitt


The sunlight pans down on the lifepod, the marines slowly filtered out the back hatch and the remains of said tree she smashed through on entry to the Ring world. A large shadow is casts further up the canyon by the tall sheer cliffs that fence in a lot of this region. On the other side of the Bumblebee, massive boulders form hills, a landslide, who knows how long ago, created this stone ridge. Spacing between the rock would allow an entire platoon to hide with it, and the eroded surface on the top of the hill, would provide a decent pic nic area in the sunlight, with views of either horizon.

Rolecall:
Sergeant. Johnston; Private. Barbarossa (Barbarossa); Private. Simmons (Crazyboy); Private. Hewitt (Hewitt); Private. Griff; Private. Mendoza; Private. Dias; Private. Anderson; Flight Lieutenant. Lopez

Re: Halo

*Taking in the immediate veiw he watched Tex get up in her normal fashion and get out, having spent many years of service with this particular Marine he knew her instincts were normally right.*

"Everyone up and Everyone out, I shit you not we are in a hostile enviroment so if you see little red riding hood carrying a rocket Launcher I Expect you to Chin the bitch. I'm not about to have any of you **** ups compromise us, now move like you have a purpose."

*One of the few truely British soldiers left he had always wonderd if it had stopped him from advancing in rank. Getting up and checking his weapon he is second out of the escape pod taking a standing postion with his back to the beaten up craft and watching the others file out of the craft the Flight lieutenant last to exit.*

"Mad Cat, Church, Jenkins, Alpha squad... Maison, Taylor your with me, Bravo squad... Tex, Urashimi, O'Mally Charlie squad... this is what we are gonna do you see that massive lump of architechture over there, its called a building and it will be certainly a lot easier to defend then this piece of life saving junk thats lieing half buried in the earth. Tex grab the medkits. Alpha and Bravo team will cover the other until we successfully reach the structure. Move in 30 metre jumps the teams should not be further then 15 metres apart. Charlie will be the rearguard and always within 10 metres of either Alpha or Bravo... Any questions thought not."

*Turning slowly to the pilot he looks him over*

"You armed?"

Pilot - "Yes Sir"

"I want you at my back at all times, I don't want to see you firing a shot unless I say."

Pilot - "Yes Sir"

"This is one bad situation we all know it at least the canyon will have covered our landing but that doesn't stop there sensors everyone keep sharp, keep smart and don't fire unless entirely nessecary make sure your in cover by the time you stop moving."

*Adreniline pumping through his system, it was the training, he had never really been put in charge of a squad but he had been trained... He wasn't about to do a shoddy job of it and he was determined to see they all got out alive*

"Alpha squad move!"

*With that they begin there movement towards the Building a few eyes looking upwards on watch for Covenent patrols.*

"Mathers," Ceaser called out. " get your ass over here and help secure the perimeter..." Ceaser then turns around and begins to help the other marines out of the lifepod... When Sergeant Stacker got out of the pod, Ceaser reported to him

"Looks like we're in a bad way sir, what are your orders?"

Re: Halo

Mathers was quickly jolted into action at the sound of the corporal's voice, and obeyed almost instantly, even throwing in a half-hearted salute.

"Yessir!" And, with that, he took his assault rifle with both hands and climbed his way up the sides of the huge gash in the land left by the landing life pod. Once at the top of the slope, he began scanning the area carefully for any sign of trouble, while also taking a look at his strange new surroundings...

Re: Halo

Lifepod #1 - Structure
Aglarzir, Mad Cat, Fluffie


Alpha squad takes the point, jogging to a near embankment and fan out covering the second group, who leap frog them to a setting of trees, while Charlie squad, Tex and the Medkits follow closely. The stone structure, extends almost as high as the canyon walls, and is built out of half the hill, you can see what looks like a ramp, carved along with side, leading up to a sort of stage, making up the bulk of it's base. Extending from the platformed area, a tower pulls skyward, though seperated into a funneling shape. The central gap in the tower appears to hum, and glow from from within. There's definately some kind of power source.

Alpha squad reports a smaller building, no far, but tiny in comparision, a raised stone platfrom about 5m from the ground, boxed by walls, looks distinctly defencive in construction.

The pilot is not dressed for combat, he is a Navy man, carrying only a pistol and in charge of the low range comm system, a more powerful version of radio comms built into each of your helmets.


Lifepod #2 - River field
ASME, No Dachi, Bakan


The perimeter appears in good order and the open expance does not show any signs of animal wildlife, but is densely population by shrubs and fauna. Turning your gaze skyward to look for the arrivial of UNSC drop ships, or signs of your less than friendly pursers. The sergeant speaks up in a Southern State accent.

Stacker: Alright this is it, all you men that wanted to see Covanent up close, looks like it's going to be your lucky day. Intell suggests they'll be sending in drop ships, while their fighter craft tangle with our Long Swords.
Lt. Tucker: Radio is deployed sir. Recieving standard UNSC carrier signal, message from the head any minute.
Stacker: Good, we're moving out. Kaige, Black, gather the supplies. Privates Mathers and Bakan, see anything yet? Take the rear and shout if you do.

He sergeant leads off with Corporal Ceaser falling in step, towards an inclined grassy slope, that leads over a dip in the otherwise sheer cliff face, like a purposeful dirt road, lacking any actual dirt, from lack of use. First order of business is extablishing a defencive postion for rondezvous with dropships.


Lifepod #3 - Rockside
Barbarossa, Crazy, Hewitt


The marines fall in line as Sergeant Johnston surveys the area. He's a strong voiced man of African descent, wearing a peaked cap indicating his rank and holding his rifle back, vertically leaning on his shoulder.

Johnson: Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, that they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own personal anti-SOB machine, or a giant hoola hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?

Mmmhmm. Damn right I am. Now move it out!

He motions to the rockslide area, where you're going to take cover until contact is extablished with the ship.

Johnson: We're out in deep space, so far from home, I don't know, this could have been built by anyway, but we've got a job to do. Lets hop to it!


In the sky - view of those looking
Groups of other escape pods are coming into view, the ring rotates, so whatever condition they land it, it's going to be a couple kilometres up spin. Blue bolts of flame streak into the air from another park of the canyon, which is a rather odd sight, some of they noticed similar beams on the way down, but are lost for and explaination, other that the striking resemblance to covanent plasma weaponary, but the bolts are random, unaimed discharges.

Then faintly in the distance, flames errupt on one of the Bumblebees, it breaks up and explodes mid flight, an intense air battle is being waged up there.


Flight Lieutenants - each group
A signal from the Piller of Autumn comes in on the Main com channel, recieved by the lieutenants machine and rebroadcast to your the ear peice of your helmets.

Cortana: The Covanent are attempting to destroy the lifepods, Long sword fighters are doing what they can to support our pods and the Dropships. Marines, prepare for landing parties.

Re: Halo

Muttering softly about having to haul Medkits and probably having to play nurse, Tex keeps near the pilot. Knowing that soon everyone is going to be so deep into trouble that she'll have to go out there and beat people to death with their own skulls, she looks into the sky for a second.

Strange place this.

Levelling her line of sight with her surroundigs again, she nods a semi-friendly-but-really-not-that-mean nod at the now comms-dude.

"Nice weather, eh?"

Her eyes, meanwhile, keep watch of the area...

No Dachi is infamous around these parts
Re: Halo

I assume I've got some form of radio so I can keep in touch with the squad over range?

His training now taking over, Mathers quickly fell in at the back of the ragged marching column along with Private Bakan. Aside from the radio's mic, No Dachi turned to his fellow rearguard.

"Hey man, you cover the rear left arc and I'll cover the rear right arc, deal?" While waiting for another, Mathers moved on with the rest of the squad, slowing a little every now and again to turn back and watch the rear carefully for anything suspicious. He tried to ignore the spectacle of the air battle going on further up in the mysterious ring's atmosphere and concentrate on the ground, but he did occasionally flick and eye skywards to try and spot any aircraft moving in close to the squad...

Re: Halo

Private Simmons starts moving off, heading into the rocks, calling over Private Grif to accompany him. The two marines start heading up towards the top of the hill, where they could watch out for any contacts and warn the rest of the squad.

Barbarossa is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Halo

Private Barbarossa barely registers the bone-jarring touch down that galvanises the other Marines. he checks the tags on his armour and works the bolt on his carbine.
before flicking up the restraints and emerging from the stricken bumblebee.
The crazed ange of the deck forces him to grip the unwieldy weapon in one hand while he steadies himself with the other. Once disembarked he moves to the nearest cover and lays prone for greatest concealment.

"This is Barbarossa on Tac4, Communications check everyone please!"

Re: Halo

"Yeah real nice weather, soon its gonna be raining covenent and for future reference Tex keep your comments off the comms."

*Signaling for everyone to regroup at the bottom of the ramp of the larger of the two complexses, again the training takes over.*

"Mad Cat, Church get up onto the platform and give me some better details on the surrounding area and keep a watch out for covenent and keep your comms active. Move"

*Watching them move out and head up the ramp he turns to the others.*

"We are gonna get into that defensive structure over there and contact Cortana inform her of our status and wait for orders. You heard her, Expect Covenent Landing parties so thats exactly what we are gonna do. First we need to get that structure checked out and fast, I'll leave that down to you, Tex... take Urashimi, O'Mally, Jenkins. The rest of us are gonna flank you and provide you with cover until we reach the structure and then make sure your not disturbed whilst you start clearing it. Get To Marines!"

*Whilst they are on the move he opens his comms*

"Mad-Cat, Church, as soon as you spot a landing craft I want you to inform me and then I want you to get your asses down from ontop of that platform and across to the bunker double time, make sure your certain before moving but if you come under fire I hope your not gonna hesitate understand! now report tell me what you see."

Re: Halo

Indeed, all those wearing helmets have access to the radio system, and a battle display HUD type eye piece. All in all it's rather (h).


Canyon structure #1
Aglarzir, Mad Cat, Fluffie


Privates Mad Cat and Church jog up the ramp on the side of the large structure, cautiously round the top bracket, that climbs to the platform some 15m above the squad. The stone area on top circles around the double tower structure, the edges are walled slightly, but otherwise the flatroof is empty. Church steps to the edge, one foot on the skirting wall and relays a description to the team.

The rear of the building is half buried in the hill, which slopes up further than the building at a fairly constant gradient, but appears there is a level shelf where is pans around the canyon wall.

Tex, Urashimi, O'Mally and Jenkins make a beeline fpr the smaller structure. Shortly they arrive unhindered by the war in the sky above. The building itself is sealed, there doesn't appear any doors or other entry points, similar to the big one. A bigger ramp leads to the roof, a small walkway around the middle spire, with a perimeter wall a short distance around, tall enough to prevent close range attackers, while allowing, it's protectees a decent vantage on the area. Best suited to a small squad, any more than five marines, would be compromised on the inner roof of this structure.

Bravo squad is postioned in the shade of the larger building, Lieutenant Taylor has assembled the comm array. The device, acts as a radio mast, sending and recieving communcation over a longer range, than the individual headsets. Broadcasts are encrypted and dispatched accordingly, as such Corporal Aglarzir recieves a more detailed report at times. The system will also bring up waypoints on the helmet HUD.

Signal from command: Ground teams to arrive safely are to respond on the following frequency, report to your section commanders and await further instruction.

The sky drones with the increasing noise of a taxxed engine, looking up you sight another lifepod, this one has been hit bad, the braking system is shot out and it's coming in too fast. It crashes just out of view, several minutes run ahead of the structure, largely obscured by trees. Though no one could have survived... However the covanent are zealously mythodical, in the distance you Mad cat and Church can make out a Covanent dropship (Spectre) approaching the crash site, escorted by one, maybe two fighters craft (Banshees).


River, field, hill.
ASME, No Dachi, Bakan


Sergeant Stacker and Corporal Ceaser are nearing the top of the path, a clearing between two walls of canyon, unusally the track is marked by a set of glowing, rock things. Light bulbs of alien design set into the ground. The reason is revealed soon enough to the men at the front. Over the hill lies some kind of building, a defencive structure is evident, a winding wall covers the enterance, and further along, one large structure rounds a corner, it's double the height of the first, to a sort of stage like roof, ramp cut into the side. On which stands an even taller, forked tower, that points skyward.

Privates Mathers and Bakan are as yet unaware, concentrating on the rear of the group, they can see the back of several heads and that of Lieutenant Tucker who is carrying the comms array, who is being helped up the hill by Private Black and the rest of the supplies. To the six of the group, you leave the river and field in your wake. Tracing it's path you see it cuts further down the canyon, from the sound of it, something you didn't notice before over that of the battle above and your own heart rate, a waterfall is evident at some point, possibly several. The water is crystal clear, the banks unwalked.

The sky drones with the increasing noise of a taxxed engine, looking up you sight another lifepod, this one has been hit bad, the braking system is shot out and it's coming in too fast. It crashes just out of view, several minutes run back the way you came, the site now obscured by trees and the drop in ground level. Though no one could have survived... However the covanent are zealously mythodical, From above you can now here the low humming of their anti-gravity system, a Covanent dropship (Spectre) is descending from the battle, almost on top of you, heading for crash site. As yet unaware of your presence, if it cuts any closer it may pick up the wreckage of your own Bumblebee.


Lifepod #3 - Rockside
Barbarossa, Crazy, Hewitt


Moving into the rocky area, you are shielding from sight, while those proceeding up the ridge. Private Simmons and Griff. Will be able to get a better vantage point. From what you saw before, this area is almost entirely boxed out from the rest of the canyon, on possibly entry point, is a winding section of stone walls, but that is no garentee. Something comes in over the comms array.

Signal from command: Ground teams to arrive safely are to respond on the following frequency, report to your section commanders and await further instruction.

Sergeant Johnson has led you between the cover of the rocks, to be sure there's no additional interferance you check the local p2p radio system.

Johnson: Sarge comm check, all clear, fall in men.
Griff: Griff on the ridge, comm check is good.
Mendoza: East front, Mendoza, comm is good.
Dias: Aeh, Dias reporting, loud and clear.
Anderson: Signal strong, I'm on the other side of the landslide, no problems detected.

Lieutenant Lopez is checking over his pistol, the comm array already set up and with the orders to wait for more orders in, he's free to scan for other ground troops.

Above you, a covanent fighter (Banshee) is patrolling this stretch of the canyon, it's spotted the wreck of your lifepod, but hasn't seen any signs of life, it breaks for breaks off it's low sweep by the pod and ascends over the ridge, searching for you. Simmons on top, has a clear view of it's approach.

Re: Halo

*Swearing as he heard the bloody alien ships, Bakan nods over at his partner No Dachi.*

"Listen, those things if they get much closer they will probably pick us up. We need to get hidden and prepare for a attack here. If there's one things those sh*teaters are good for, it's searching for survivors and putting plasma into them. And I for one don't want to be filled with plasma."

*Unslinging his Assualt Rifle, Bakan chambers the rifle, and nods as it lights up indicating it's ready to fire.*

Re: Halo

I'm on the roof with some men, right? Guess I gave the Medkits to someone else then...

//

Along with her three comrades, Tex was overlooking her part of whatever it was she was overlooking. Except for air-units, all clear. For now. She glanced at the Corporal for a while. That man needed a beating. With his own skull. Or, the butt of her rifle, whatever was more appropriate.

*Ceaser, seeing the lifepod and the following Spectre shouts out orders...

"Alright Marines...." called Corporal Ceaser, "Looks like we are going to have some company soon, I want two people as scouts, the rest of you stick close and get down, I don't want to lose anyone... understand?"

"Dubbo, Kaige, you two are on scout, report if you see anything, anything... that ain't human, alright then, Move Out."

*Watching the two marines move off to scout, Ceaser had a bad felling that he may not see those two again, but they would allow the rest of the troop to survive...

Re: Halo

No Dachi looks sideways at Bakan whilst keeping an eye on the descending Spectre.

"But we've got to follow the rest of the squad...anyway, the corporal's sent Dubbo and Kaige off to scout. They'll give a yell if anything's coming our way..." He said, keeping pace with the rest of the squad as he did so, before slowing a little to allow Bakan to catch up.

Re: Halo

Simmons watches as the banshee starts to seach around for survivors, and heads straight towards him, giving him a clean(ish) shot at it. Simmons ducked down as the banshee flew over the top of the rock, training his rifle on the back of it, waiting to see if it had spotted him or his squad. If it had, he was ready to shoot at it.

Re: Halo

Do note, as the ring was "built" a lot of the natural formations, aren't actually naturelly formed, and so the odd shape of things, can be rather hard to capture in writting.


River hill.
ASME, No Dachi, Bakan


The scouts depart back the way you came, sticking to the shade along the canyon wall, while the rest of the squad hurries over the hill. This alien building is now more distinguishable, it's situated on the edge of a very long drop, sheer cliff runs around one side of the terrain, something previously hidden by the canyon wall. The marines gather on a flatter patch some distance from the second structure.

Stacker: Corporal, take some men and sweep around the back of the first structure, I don't want any surprises, check the perimeter wall, if necessary we can hold up in there.

There's clear space between the two buildings in the direction Sarge points. He turns and faces the cliff edge, it's a huge drop of several hundred metres, from where kilometres of the ring's surface can be seen. Escape pods are coming down in the distance, then a loud erruption of colour on the horizon. It's the Piller of Autumn, Captain Keyes, is going to land on the ring. It's slowing and looks like it could be brough down intact, but by now most of the crew has been evacuted, many fighters (Long Swords) shot down covering the escape, but now they're in the atmosphere, more Dropships will be arriving to co-ordinate the resistance.

Lieutenant Tucker has assembled the comm array. The device, acts as a radio mast, sending and recieving communcation over a longer range, than the individual headsets. Broadcasts are encrypted and dispatched accordingly, as such Corporal Aglarzir recieves a more detailed report at times. The system will also bring up waypoints on the helmet HUD.

Your HUD suddenly lights up over your right eye, a small targetting rectacle, appears, when you glance in the direction of an identified hostile. As such, when looking in the direction of the Piller of Autumn, the visor is amess with red and green lights.

Re: Halo

Rockside
Barbarossa, Crazy, Hewitt


Sergeant Johnson is watching the banshee as well, it passed right over the rocks, but you are largely hidden. Then circles once more at an odd height, doesn't look like it's leaving this section of canyon.

Johnson: Aww hell, we've been painted...
Mendoza: Sarge?
Johnson: That damn pilot, knows where down here somewhere, he's waiting up there so we can't run while he calls for ground support to come flush us out... I for one am not going to have it! Marines, prepare to engage the enemy!

He sends you off in pairs, scattering across the rock area so that there's no locallised source of fire, when you get a clean shot take it... with enough luck and rifle power, maybe. Barbarossa and Hewitt are the least covered, closest to the lifepod, on the edge of the rock area.


Canyon structure #1
Aglarzir, Mad Cat, Fluffie


Yes roof, but think of it more like a big fortified table you're standing on. The medpacks are stowwed for the moment, same with the spare ammo. You're watching the battle above. Then there's a loud erruption of colour on the horizon. It's the Piller of Autumn, Captain Keyes, is going to land on the ring. It's slowing and looks like it could be brought down intact, but by now most of the crew has been evacuted, many fighters (Long Swords) shot down covering the escape, but now they're in the atmosphere, more Dropships will be arriving to co-ordinate the resistance.

Looking back in the direction of Corporal Ceaser you can see Private Church on the roof is focused on something the other direction. The lifepod you heard land moments ago is being circled by the Banshee, the Spectre has already landed, but you haven't heard any gunfire, no survivers after all, but there are definate ground troops searching the land not far away.

(If Mad Cat or Fluff haven't relayed that last bit to the guys that can't see [Aglarzir] by the time he next posts, he may expect O'Mally to have done so on the comm)

Yeah, my mistake, Tex is looking back in the direction of Corporal Algarzir. Sure, Corporal Cearse might be in that direction too, but there's a building and several metres of solid canyon rock wall in the way.

Re: Halo

((O.k O.k didn't expect the thread to have gone this far... ))

*Reporting in to the section commander Aglarzir looks upwards hearing a droning engine as the lifepod speeds across the sky the crash reverberating off the canyon walls in the distance. He then waits for further commands after reporting a Bumblebee going down roughly 500m north of the structure.*

*Whilst waiting for commands O'Mally reports in*

"The lifepod Sir, is being circled by the Banshee, the Spectre has already landed, there are definate ground troops searching the land not far away."

"Understood Private keep your eyes pealed, Everyone else check you weapons, If you see any covenent report in but do not open fire, Church, Mad Cat pull yourselves back and down the ramp but make yourselves ready to get back up there."

*Not happy that both the bunker and the building could be flanked easily he looked over at the bunker and then for anything inbetween spotting an outcropping of rocks and a couple of trees he gets back on the comms*

"Urashimi get back down to the base of the main building and join with Maison, Taylor, Urashimi, Maison find yourself firing positions close to the buidling Taylor stay with your Comm unit. Jenkins meet me at the outcrop of rocks inbetween the base of the building and the defensive structure your now occupying with the two trees close together directly behind it. Tex, O'mally conceal yourselves as best you can and keep a look out for any troop or ships In any direction."

((the idea is Mad Cat and Church are halfway down the ramp on the opposite side to the landed forces ready to go back up again. Urashimi and Maison have taken firing positions below the massive stage and are close to the base of the building and the ramp. Taylor is near the Comms unit. Jenkins and myself are between Urashimi and Maison and the defensive structure that Tex (Fluffie), O'Mally are occupying so that there is an easy fall back path for any unit whilst the others support and no unit of two people will be easily flanked.))

Gotta keep moving along, action starting... anytime now... hopefully. Though weekend's over and DM'ing will slow, which is why I like to do everyone, when anyone one person is ready.

Sort of still working how I want the DMing to go, I'm liking the current method, of posting updates for all, setting the scene and focussing on NPCs, instead of individual responces for the players. While letting the characters cover the detailed actions and personal thoughts. Though length of each section may or may not be related to how many of each squad has posted... Hmm, I still have to do the orders from command post at some point. Ho hum.

Anyway needless to say, the dropships can't come in, until the area is more secured.


Canyon structure #1 & #2
Aglarzir, Mad Cat, Fluffie


A defencive point extablished, everyone or more or less combat ready. Lieutenant Taylor has signaled command, transmitting your location and request for orders. Drop ships are preparing to move in.

The banshee has moved off on patrol, looks like it may have sighted something in the opposite direction. Almost as the tension is clearing, O'Mally has sighted something

O'Mally: Hostiles sighted, looks like the party from that Spectre sir, they're heading our way, probably scouting the structure. I count six... Grunts, moving over the hill.
Urashimi: I can see them now 200m... hold on that's only four...
O'Mally: Second group are sighted, we've got multiple incoming, they're heading this way.


Structures #3 & #4
ASME, No Dachi, Bakan


Crackling comes in over the squad radio, word from the scouts.
Dubbo: We're on the ridge above from where we original came down, can see the Spectre now, it's checking out another wreck sir.
Kaige: Couldn't have come in more than a few minutes ago, she's still smoking pretty bad, no survivers to report, Covanent are all over her. Will report new movement as it happens.
Stacker: Negative private, come on back to the squad, we've found some kind of structure, we can hold them off better from here if necessary.
Dubbo: Aye sir. Turning around.

The radio is silent for awhile, although the sergeant is now kneeling beside Tucker speaking into the comm arrray, looks like contact from the ship. Though he's particularly stern faced at the moment.

*Static
Kaige: Banshee, coming in fast, he'll be right on top of us any second.
*Plasma fire is heard in the background
Kaige: Just a little further... trying to make the canyon wall.. he'll have to... again... buy us some time.

The radio is still actively coming through, you can hear the deep breathing of running men, but externally the sound gunfire can be heard from around the hill.

Sergeant Stacker is on a different channel with HQ and hasn't heard.


Rockside
Barbarossa, Crazy, Hewitt


The banshee closes in over the middle group, as it passes, Mendoza and Anderson open up on it, automatic rifle fire, catches the side of the fighter as it passes. The pilot turns the craft about, arching out of their range and over Crazy. Privates Griff and Simmons have an open shot on it's rearside.

No Dachi is infamous around these parts
Re: Halo

No Dachi listens in horror, knowing that at any moment he could hear an explosion signalling the death of the two squaddies, and turned to look over his shoulder at the sergeant. Slacker evidently hadn't heard the plight of the two privates, as he was still on the radio to HQ.

"Sir! Dubbo and Kaige are under attack!" He yelled, at least trying to alert the sergeant to the problem, before turning back and scanning the skyline for a sign of the Banshee strafing his comrades...

Re: Halo

No Dachi, who had been feeling utterly disgusted with his complete inability to help Dubo and Kaige, immediately spoke up, quickly checking his weapon for any potential cause of jamming as he did so.

"Sir, I volunteer, sir!" With that, he turned to Bakan. "You coming with?"

Re: Halo

"Woah! Crap! Kill it Grif ! Kill it!!"

Private Simmons ducks as the banshee shoots over his head. He spins around, training his assault rifle on the rear of the fighter and opens up, along with Grif. Simmons follows after the banshee, holding down the trigger as he shoots up the back of the banshee.

Re: Halo

Tex now anxiously holds her rifle. She is scanning her surroundings for foes, she is also waiting for the authority to open fire. And stuff.

Stupid corporal

Re: Halo

"Then let's go. Every second counts." With this said, No Dachi starts running back down the slope toward the canyon where the two scouts are taking shelter. As he does so, he tries to recall what Banshees are like and how he could potentially damage it with his current equipment.
