TiberRaptor · July 2003

Wow, in a real game, this would be sudden death for marines that didn't have some higher lvl of armor/weapons or HMGS/GLs... this is sad. We are all going to die. I hope you have something in mind xect, this looks pretty bleak

*Ponders putting the shotgun in his own mouth to end the agony.*
*Then decides against it as he sees all the injured people*
*Runs, and jumps behind the cover Terran has made*
"Can I help with anything?"
"Obviously not shooting it, there' no real point unless we get some Rail guns down here"
"Or how about some particle beam cannons?"
"I'd like to see it regenerate a hewn leg"
*Starts getting desperate*

PFCNublar · July 2003

"Sure Tiber. Help me and Silent carry this cargo box over. Its heavier than the rest we've gotten, so it should be pretty useful cover."
*eye wanders over to hive room door to check*
*sees fades walk through the closed door*
*hears chuckles in the above vents*
"...that's it. I'd freaking quit if I could. Damn comm, won't even drop us health, let alone bigger weapons."
*looks around*
"Oh...****. I think we should like drag Karma over here asap. He's alone, across the room, and seems busted up as well."
*puts the heaviest box as the centerpiece of cover, protecting the wounded*
*goes prone and starts to crawl over to Karma*

It would take a mircale to save our toaty tushes from this...<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>. AT least drop something heavy on the onos before we die <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>.

TiberRaptor · July 2003

*Covers Terran... if that's at all possible*
*Fires at one of the ducts where the chuckling is coming from*

PFCNublar · July 2003

*sees that Karma is a bit too disoriented to come over to the cover*
*activates radio*
"Ok...Karma, we've got a little tiny fort-like thing over there. When we return fire and start to pull out, since we've got way too many wounded ad not enough shooters, I'd like you to run that way. That's where were running too, ok?"
*stops crawling to Karma, and heads back*
"Ok...I think that Frosty is right. We need to pull out. Two fades and an onos are gonna be a bit too much for us. So...maybe if we fell back to the closest outpost we set up...we won't get run over and killed? Any objects to that?"
*while the people ponder meh suggestion, I radio the same message to the comm*

Xzilen · July 2003

(I don't think I was that injured, but thanks for dragging me away anyways <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>)

*Looks at the onos*

"Guys, I don't think shooting at its skull is going to do much, why not aim for its toes, perhaps we can at least immbolize the ****"

*Without further ado, draws his pistol due to its stronger caliber and takes careful aim, letting loose bursts of two bullets at a time till his magazine clicks empty*

*Watches the bullets smack hard against the onos toes/feet*

xect · July 2003

Predictably, the bullets to the toes has as little effect as everything else you've thrown at the beast so far.

Xzilen · July 2003

[B][COLOR=orange]

"Okay I'm all for falling back guys, this thing is never going to be deafted"

*Gets an idea*

"Comm! Revert to Smart Bomb manual ASAP, he must have a tactic to defeat these things!!!"

*Realizes voice comm with comm (haha) is still down*

"Ah forget it"

*Lays down supression fire with his lmg*

"Lets pull back guys!"

Night_Shade · July 2003

"Pulling out sounds like a good idea. If we can just make it to the nearest phase gate, we can go through and put something heavy on the other end so anything following us will get sliced up."
*Pulls self into standing position, looking pale and sweaty*
"Come on guys, give me a hand with the other wounded!"

Xzilen · July 2003

(Is this going by 2.0 rules where Aliens can't use phase gates? I hope so)

"Got ya Night"

*Immeditely reaches for a nearby wounded man (insert name here) and pulls him up while dragging him back towards the phase gate, hoping that the onos will not attempt to block off their retreat*[COLOR=orange][B]

spinviper · July 2003

"FALL BACK!"

"Dont shoot at the freaking onos, we cant do **** againts it!" "Shoot the dammed fades!" "If u can kill one of the fades and let me get close enough to the dead one, I got a idea"
*Fires at Fade*

Lord_Darkness · July 2003

"Even if we get out of here, I won't be able to practice Hapkido ever again."
*remembers about dropped P229*
"MY 229!!! I GOT THAT GUN FROM MY FATHER!!! I'm not leaving without it."
*starts crawling towards it*

FYI: Hapkido is a Korean form of martial arts.

pEnGuiN_gab · July 2003

*Draws pistol*
"I hope you know what you are doing spin.."
*Fires in 3 - burst salvos at the Fade*

Xzilen · July 2003

"I have no freaking clue what you have in mind man, but I don't think we should try it, just pull out!"

Bogglesteinsky · July 2003

aliens cant use pgs in 2.0?

sounds interesting...

*notices the metal edging to the crates and starts to weld the crates together*

"hopefully this should hold a little longer"

*picks up the parts from the fallen shelf and welds them on the back to reinforce the barricade*

PFCNublar · July 2003

*ponders*
"Why? If we **** off a fade, it will just attack us. It's really strange why they aren't attacking us right now...expecially the onos."
*looks at Headcrab*
"We can't move him without using a board of something..."
*picks up one of the shelves from the fallen shelf and slides it under Headcrab*
"Ok...Now we can move him. A little help here, Silent."
*Silent takes the other end of the strecher and we lift him up*
*get ready to run with the others when we pull out*

Silent said earlier that he would need someone to control his character a bit as he would be leaving for a while...so I'll do it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>. Yay, I have a monkey boy. j/k.

Mr_Headcrab · July 2003

"That's not needed, i've had worse."
*Ed sits up*
"I think its just my arm that's broken, I feel like i've been hit with an. well, that thing" *points over at Onos*" lots of bruises, but I'll be ok..." *Ed tries to stand, hears a lond snap* "OW!, ok, back onto the stretcher." *Ed lays back down on the streacher, he draws the TSA standard andtakes aim at a Fade*

xect · July 2003

As if taking Terrans cue, the onos starts grunting and moving towards the team carrying headcrab

Xzilen · July 2003

*Sighs* "He's probably more useful than I am anyways"

(Xect may there be a pack of mines laying around that I can use? I'll continue this after I know)

Mr_Headcrab · July 2003

"Fecking thing!"
*Ed fires at the onos from the stretcher with the TSA standard.*

Night_Shade · July 2003

*looks at Ed on the stretcher*
"Damn it, I just fixed that! Hold still."
*realigns Ed's leg with another resounding snap*
"Now come on, let's get the hell out of here before that damn onos does any more damage."

Xzilen · July 2003

*Really wishes he had some mines* (hint hint are they laying on the ground exect?)

Night_Shade · July 2003

Xzilen, there are no mines. There are no advanced TSA weapons. There are two (i think, maybe 1) welders. Stop asking, the armory's dead.

*takes Darkness over one shoulder, grunting from the pain in his chest*
"Come on people, let's get the hell out of here!"
*starts moving back towards the phase, drawing breath in ragged gasps*

PFCNublar · July 2003

"Stay very still...it might just be-"
*onos roars and paws the ground, preparing to charge*
"Come on, Silent! RUN!"
*we start to run, Silent in the front, meh in the back*
"Run back to the base that was near the place with those freaky wires! We can use the PG to pull out!"
*sees Ed is firing at the onos*
"Arg! Stop doing that! It's only **** it off more!"
*me takes his pistol and pockets it*

Lord_Darkness · July 2003

"PUT ME DOWN, SHADE!!! THAT GUN WAS THE LAST THING MY FATHER GAVE ME, I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT IT!"
*hits Shade in the back of the head and manages to flip off and land on good leg*
"Now don't try and stop me. If you do, I'll be forced to kill you, and I can do that ten different ways with my bare hands. Never **** off a 5th dan black belt in Hapkido. Even one with only one good leg."
*starts hopping off towards P229*
"Keep those things distracted, I'll be back in a minute."

xect · July 2003

Startled by him moving in the opposite direction of everyone else, the onos starts running towards Darkness

Night_Shade · July 2003

"No! DARK! ****."
*turns away*
"Come on guys, let's move!"

Bogglesteinsky · July 2003

there is only 1 welder, mine. there are many other like it but this one is mine.

"Let him go. The important thing is that we get Ed out of here. we'll come back later to try and salvage what's left of him."

Marik_Steele · July 2003

"The phase gate's probably gone by now. I'm getting a pretty strong impression of 'My house, leave' from Big Smelly here.
*sees Darkness running off for his family heirloom weapon*
"I dunno whether to feel sorry or thankful. I'm taking rear again -- and don't go too fast, it seems to get Mr. Big's attention here too easily."
*Notices the Onos' underbelly*
"Okay, it's a Miss instead of Mr. Figures I was never good with women..."

(I was asking about ones that may have perhaps been on the floor from earlier and just not used during the attack, thank you for being OH so kind in your reply, glad to see that someone else takes the role of xect to :-\, besides that, communication with the comm is down, so I couldn't ask for them from him anyways, forget the fact that the armory is down, hence why I asked xect, thank you.)

PFCNublar · July 2003

*blinks, then smirks*
"Touche, Marik."
*ponders thoughts about the PG*
"I don't think that the PG is down though...shouldn't be. We had that place down tighter...and...Oh well. If the PG is down, that increases the odds we get killed and we have to run the whole distance...great."
*looks at Darkness run off, the onos running towards him*
"You know, this is probably why teachers told you at school 'Don't bring anything valuable on field trips. You might lose them.'"
