[SRP] Black Sun

hmm i wonder who patched those" chris says looking around as he turns back to the computer for a moment putting the video on a small device slipping it in his pocket as he turns to the others "now what?"

[Harri-chan]

There was a few more digs with her elbow as the blue woman murmured into her ear, a shiver running down her spine at the tone of the words, even if she couldn't understand them. There was a groan as she felt the tendrils pierce her neck, her brown eyes looking back to Hawkins as she heard his order. Her eyelids started to get heavy, and her knees began to sag. Everything seemed to go slow, watching the bullet coming towards her, but her eyes closed just a brief second before it flew passed her head and into the alien. As the blue woman fell backwards, Claudia fell forwards, her battered metal armour clattering against the ground as she landed face-first, her arms spread infront of her where she fell.

[Haylie]

As soon as the alien woman hits the ground, Paula rushes up and does a quick "dead test" on the corpse, firing a single shot into the alien's heart with her rifle. She then turns to Claudia and kneels beside her.

"You missed, sir. The bounty hunter's still alive," she says sarcastically.

[Knight Errant]

Bright scowls. "Now... we have to find the damned LT. He isnt responding."

Blade looks around nervously. "Sarge... he is probably taken. We really need to get out of here."

Bright glares at him. "And how are we going to do that with a broken dropship?"

Blade: "... I dont know."

Bright: "Exactly... so SHUT UP AND FOLLOW ORDERS!"

Blade: "... yes sir."

Meanwhile...

The Blue woman's corpse barely moves from the second shot, it seems she is down. Hawkins holsters his pistol and draws his combat knife. "Paladin... check Claudia. We need her on her feet. We may have to carry Razor out of here... and we cant very well carry both of them."

He jams the knife into the pod, beginning to slice it open.

[Haylie]

"Yessir." Paula crouches next to the bounty hunter and shines her rifle's flashlight back and forth across her face, looking for a reaction while checking her pulse.

[Harri-chan]

Claudia seemed groggy, as if she'd gone a whole night without sleep, but she was aware enough to snarl at Paula when the light was shone across her face, "Get that thing away from me". She pushed her hand against the rifle, pointing it away from herself, but it was plain to see it took a lot of effort and concentration. Staggering up to her feet, it looked for a moment like she'd fall right back down. Tugging off both black gloves from her metallic suit, she tossed them to the floor, rubbing at her eyes and brushing get fingers across her neck where the tendrils had pierced. With a snort, she glanced down at the alien, "You can thank me later".

[Brnin8r]

Bendak nodded to Bright's orders and as his superior yelled into the com, Bendak made sure to keep a steady eye and steady aim on the blue girl as he slowly approached her to feel for a pulse. If she was alive, maybe they could interrogate her...and boy would that be something he'd jump on.

(I'z sorry! Finals destroyed me and my life kept me otherwise occupied)

[Zoey]

Stryker kept a close guard of Bright, wondering if this guy was actually sane or not. "Sir, I dont think shouting is very appropritate for a man of your position..." he says.

[Knight Errant]

Paula would see the holes in Claudia's neck... or the lack of which. They seem to have been filled in with... smooth blue skin. Claudia would feel sore and stinging sensations from her neck.

Hawkins works swiftly, and soon rips open the pod... revealing Blade inside. Tendrils weave all around her... and move slightly as they seem to be pumping something into her. Where they pierce her skin, slowly spreading patches of blue are apparent. Hawkins stares for a moment. "This... cannot be good." He begins rapidly slashing at the tentacles!

Removing her hand from her throat, Bendack would see the wound he gave had scabbed over. He detects a faint pulse... and now notices she seems to be shallowly breathing.

Bright looks around and glares at Stryker. "And where were you trained at... the fairy boot camp? Marines these days." He growls and lights a cigar.

Blade speaks up again. "Sir... if we are stranded here, first protocol is to establish a secure base, then send a signal to the nearest base for pickup."

Bright gives Blade a bit of glare! Then. "Your right..." He looks at Chris. "You, go to the dropship and link up with the Hyperion... send a message to A-321 base telling them of our situation. You!" He points at Stryker. "Go and begin moving our equipment from the dropship into here. The sentry turrets first." He looks to Razor. "You... go with him and bring back the construction kit... start patching up these holes and getting this place defensible."

"You get me?"

[Haylie]

Paula turns off her rifle's flashlight. "Well, you obviously don't ne-- what the...?" She suddenly becomes very interested in the blue marks on Claudia's neck and leans forward for a closer look. Perhaps a bit... too close.

[Evra]

Chris salutes and nods "yes sir" he says picking up his smg he walks over to the door walking out and back down the corridor towards the dropship holding his gun at the ready

[Harri-chan]

Claudia still seemed groggy, standing with her head lowered, and her bare fingers pressed to her forehead. She winced slightly at the soreness across her neck, and lifted her head when she felt Paula leaning in closer, although she seemed too tired and worn out to put up much of a fight, a look of annoyance still flashed across her face. One of her hands press to the other girl's shoulder, and she tried to push her back, with a fraction of the strength and energy she'd had during their earlier battle. "Could you have been any slower in coming to help?", she muttered.

[Haylie]

"Just hold still!" Paula, still possessing all her strength, isn't really affected by Claudia's shove. She just holds onto Claudia's shoulder and head, moving her hair out of the way for a clear look at the blue spots. "And assault rifles aren't good for accurate fire! It's not my fault. You're welcome for not getting a round in your head. Now shut up and let me get a good look at the... uh... wound."

[Harri-chan]

When she realised that Paula was, atleast for the moment, quite a bit stronger than her, it didn't take long for the frustration to return. Her breath washed against Paula's face in un-even bursts as she struggled to break free of the other woman's grasp, "I know how to clean up my own wounds.. ", she mumbled, the hands that had been against Paula to try and shove her, now grasping onto her armour, "Ugh.. I feel so tired... ". Her cheeks went red as she felt the other girl brush the long brown curls away from her neck, not knowing there were blue spots on her skin.

[Zoey]

"Well atleast if combat doesn't kill you, that cigar will" murmers Stryker continuing to keep guard.
