[Original RPG] Shadow War: How Much Is Enough? (Tygun Span)

Post by **Warcry** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 5:27 am

Kingbolt took a step back as Catady charged him, swinging his right arm (and the attached shield) around in an attempt to fend off her assault non-lethally.

"Controlleth thine friend, media scoundrel," he snapped at Static, "lest she force me to mete out serious harm in mine own defence!"

Roadbuster: -narrowing optic band as he spins, keeping a firm grip on Gnarl's ankle, yelling at Catady- "You want a Wrecker, sister? There's one right here!" -shoulder cannon lowering, pivoting, locking onto the small femme-

Hot Rod: -watching the fracas unfolding near Omega's landing area- "What the frack?" -looks at the others- "Stay here and keep an eye on things, guys. I think the media's gone nuts." -hops gingerly down off the table, backpack booster roaring to life, lifts into the air, soars over, lands(with much wincing) next to Kingbolt, looks at Catady- "Haven't I seen you on the news?"

'That's enough' Broadside growled, stepping between Roadbuster and Catady.

'Keep an eye on him,' he gestured to Gnarl, 'and let's avoid shooting civilians for now.'

Turning back he marched the short distance to the other bots, seeing Kingbolt and the others.

Static lunges at Catady in an attempt to tackle her and bring he rdown.

"Don't shoot, its post traumatic combat fatigue, rare type she has flashbacks where she relives events from her past. She's never been the same since her uni... no I won't say she doesn't like to talk about it."

With Static's grip round her knees, Catady went down hard. "Twintwist - let me go! He told them we were there! He killed us!" She pawed at the ground, claws retracting and gasped, "Dead, dead..."

A tremble wracked her and she went absolutely still, optics gradually dimming.

Roadbuster: "Then it looks like you've just volunteered to be our media liason, Broadside. Have fun with that." -turns goes back to dragging Gnarl towards Omega Supreme-

Hot Rod: -drops to one knee, looking at Static- "Since her what? I'm guessing you weren't going to say university."

******************

Minerva: -over commlink- "Dirge, respond please! You're needed for prisoner transport!" -looks over at Hound- "Think you can tow Doubledealer if you have to?"

Gnarl struggled leaving furrows in the earth from his fingers/

~*~

Static shrugged and brushed his boom mike out of his face.

"I guess I may as well tell you. Her unit got drafted ,some hush hush special ops thing. They were recon specialists, scoot and scout not special ops but they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They got sent out cover the insertion of two spy types.

The Cons were waiting for them. The spies got cut down Lead was lucky he died instantly. Shade she went down but survived at least initially, the Cons , well lets say the reports we got weren't pretty, but she didn't talk.

They retreated Lighter tried to retrieve her get her out of Con hands but their were too many of them. He was a transport mech he never stood a chance.

Fieldgun volunteered to stand rearguard cover their retreat with Catady . He got hit went down beside her as far as we can tell. She doesn't like to talk about it too much.

Some of it comes from forensics when we recaptured that land after the big push. From the wounds on the Cons bodies we think either gun jammed or she just saw red or a combination of both. The Cons were clawed up pretty good.

Meanwhile a Seeker got Blunt as he retreated. We think Catady caught up with them. We think she somehow pounced the Seeker, it's unclear but their were claw marks all over him. Catady carried Blunt all the way back with a chest wound. She almost made it too.

A patrol picked her up offline on the edge of no mech's land. Despite all her efforts Blunt didn't make it she was the sole survivor..barely."

Static looked relieve to have got it off his chest

'wha?' Broadside turned to Roadbuster, but the Wrecker was moving away already.

Instead he returned to the group and moved forward swiftly, commenting to Static, 'Most bots wouldn't hold up under that, and it doesn't look like she will unless we get help for her,'

He gently knelt next to Catady's limp form, moving to pick her up and hold her steady in his large hands.

'I'll get her to Minerva and we can deal with the rest later, when she's not offlining.'

(OOC: Lets wrap this up and get moving, please?

)

"Verily that be tragic," Kingbolt told Static as he recovered from Catady's attack. "But thou must remember that four of mine comrades lie dead after this conflict. All Autobots have doth lost many friends. Thou art looking for sympathy in the wrong place."

"You know," Whirl chimed in, "as much fun as this has been, I'd really like to get back to Debris and sort through the new load of supplies we-" he stopped short as he realized the media was still around, "uh, that we acquired from purely legitimate sources before we were called out for this mission."

Static shrugged

"I know I know we've all lost someone, it's just I was on sensor overwatch I saw most of it unfold I just couldn't do anything to help except send the patrol in Catady's direction."

Hound considered Minerva's proposal for a moment, running the calculations momentarily before answering. "I suppose so, if we're thoroughly prepared..." Hound failed to specify what exactly he meant by 'prepared', but he figured Minerva would come up with her own interpretation.

Soon enough Dirge's voice was answering on the com, back at their encampment. "Prisoners? I'll be there as soon as I can, but what's going on?"

Heinrad · Post by **Heinrad** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 3:34 pm

Minerva: -over commlink to Dirge- "The Decepticon Doubledealer and his component partners. He's been disabled." -looks over at Hound- "Well, I think I've got some duct tape, maybe some zip ties. Although I get the impression they aren't going to do anything to damage Doubledealer." -looks over at Knok and Skar- "Are you?"

*********************

Roadbuster: -drags Gnarl into the field hospital within Omega Supreme's tank track perimeter, tosses him onto a med table, looks around- "Didn't we bring a medic?"

Jetfire: -looking up from the datapadd he's working on- "No sign of her when we got here."

Stepper: -shrugs-

Roadbuster: -looks over at Dirge, about to say something-

Omega Supreme: "Distress call: Recieved. Minerva and Hound: Responding."

***********************

Hot Rod: "Don't drop her, Broadside. We don't want any bad press."

Aero Blade · Post by **Aero Blade** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 4:13 pm

Omega Supreme

"They've just reported in," Dirge spoke to Roadbuster, still tuned into the information Minerva was sending. "They've asked for help in bringing back a prisoner, Doubledealer and his component partners."

Dirge then turned his attention back to the com. "The rest of the team just arrived back at Omega Supreme. "I'll head out as soon as I can."

Mechafox · Post by **Mechafox** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 11:00 am

Knok swelled with annoyance, 'Decepticons!,' he sputtered, 'We're independent agents, we'd just as happliy work with you, for a small compensation.

Up in the rafter's Skar sighed, at least it would pass the time.

'Need someone killed, kidnapped or rescued? or perhaps defended or destroyed? we're hapy to oblige. As a team we've experienced many campaigns and possess skillz in infiltration, demolition, hand to hand, sniper shooting and investigation. Why just look at Doubledealer, most bots would be in pieces after taking the blast he took.'

Knok continued hs advertisement, with Skar projecting supporting holograms.

'This was the seige of Bejin 3, I'm sure you would've heard of it. We were tasked with reasucing Beta Quadron, the general in charge of the autobot defenses. We slipped in on a resupply vessel, it was the flagship of the fleet. By hacking the ships mainfram we created so many false alarms we slipped in and out with ease.'

During his speech the holograms showed interiors of the ship, Doubledealer drving down a corridor, a breif clip of a fire fight.

Doubledealer watched, amused, wondering how long it'd take Hound to get annoyed.

Hovering overhead, Whirl addressed Dirge. "I'm not exactly the Galactic Express, but I'm game for an airlift, if you want me to lend a claw."

Heinrad · Post by **Heinrad** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 4:31 pm

Minerva: -blinking a couple of times- "Well then, seeing as you're not covered uder either Autobot medical or the protocols of the Ares Conventions, we'll have to see about settling your bill once we've got you healed."

******************

Roadbuster: "Good. Let's get them back here and get out of here."

Aero Blade · Post by **Aero Blade** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 5:43 am

Hound for the moment simply tried to keep himself calm without reacting, simply keeping an eye on their 'companions' while waiting for the rest of the pick-up crew to arrive.

********

Omega Supreme

"I get the feeling we'll probably need all the help we can get, so you're welcome for it," Dirge responded to Whirl. Before leaving, though, he took a moment to look over towards Spike. "Will you be alright here?"

"With plenty of other guys around I should be fine," Spike replied easily. "Just make sure Hound gets back to me fine. I'm a little attached to him now in days..." He spoke with a hint of humor in his tone, referring to the recient bonding process.

"Will do," Dirge responded with a nod, transforming and taking to the air, pasing by Whirl. "Let's go."

Post by **Warcry** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 5:52 am

Whirl followed behind Dirge, flying sideways with his rotors pointed toward the conehead just for the sheer fun of it. As they neared Doubledealer's position, though, he reluctantly levelled out and hovered overhead.

Minerva: -looking from broken down missile carrier to hovering copter- "Anybody have any rope?"

Field Hospital

Gnarl moans deliriously "nooo the claws not the claws, keep her away from me."

~*~

Transmission nodded slowly

"that would proably be at Airplay's behest, one of these days she#s going to bite off more than she can chew, something that even her silver tongue and fighter pilot reflexes can't get her out of.

~*~

Static followed Broadside anxiously.
