Billy laughed a bit. "Good one."

MC43 · 05-05-2004, 08:41 PM

"WhatCHA want a cookie!?" Markez snapped at the two. He looked back at the POA. "It'll be good to get home."

Wolf99x · 05-05-2004, 08:52 PM

OOC: I was told to do this...this essentially ties up some loose ends.

BIC: As Echo-419 began heading towards the POA, Cortana's voice came over all of the comm channels in the dropship, and on the Marine's helmets.

"Attention all UNSC forces. You are instructed to avoid the POA crash site. It has been seized by Covenant forces. In addition, Captain Keyes has been found alive, but the Covies have also taken him captive as well. More information will be forthcoming. Cortana out."

Foehammer came in over the PA. "Well, looks like we aren't heading there today. Besides which, I have orders to take you to Alpha Base, where the ODST's have already got things set up for us. It's on a desert plateau not too far from the POA site, but it's far enough so that the Covies won't really know we're there."

ooc: oops, I thought that we were heading there already...

Wolf99x · 05-06-2004, 09:50 PM

OOC: don't worry. That had to be done because our GM didn't remember that the POA had been seized by the Covenant. He tends to forget somethings...that's why I'm here...to ensure accuracy...to a degree of course.

MC43 · 05-07-2004, 11:44 AM

OOC: ... What do ya want, a cookie?

Markez nodded. "All right. Take us there then. We'll take a short break, but don't think for a MOMENT that you ladies get a chance to breathe. We just got signed up for another mission. We'll wait until we hear something from the chief, and then we're off again. Got that marines!?" They all replied in unison.

It only took a few moments to reach their final destination. "All right men! Pile out! Gather up supplies, then find a place to sit for a second. When I get the call, we're out! Foehammer. Contuinue on with the rescues. Make sure I get all my Marines back."

Jake adjusted the shotgun across his back, and toyed with the belt packs that contained his weaponry tools and ammo, getting them comfortable in the pilot's seat. It hadn't been fun watching half of his group get obliterated in their crash. It'd been less fun to watch half of what was left die in a Covenant assault on their position. It had, however, been a stroke of sheer luck they'd managed to find a 'bird that could fly. He'd managed to get his group out of there just in time to see a few Covie dropships fly by, and in time to hear Cortana calling to Echo-419, Foehammer, for pickup on some other marines. He looked back at the drop bay, and called out, "Everyone okay back there?" He got grunts and shouts from the marines and Helljumpers in the back. He smiled to himself, and said, "Good. Now hold on to your stockings, ladies. This isn't going to be an easy landing." He flew to the location with the most friendly activity, and saw several intact dropships parked in the open, with several mobile buildings erected. Must be the command post, he thought. "Okay, grab on, I'm takin' her down!"

Jake hopped out of the Pelican and pulled the sack of weapons out after him. It had taken up space, and been a bit of a danger should something have happened, but he didn't care - weapons were going to be valuable, here. He watched the remainder of his platoon stagger out of the dropship, many of them wounded. He'd been hurt, sure, but they'd gotten it worse. He could also see medics and techs headed out to them, to patch up Marine and dropship alike. He moved off towards the base, slinging the sack over his back. He had some work to do.

"I'm being reassigned?" Jake couldn't believe it. Going back out in the field already? He hadn't had more than an hour's rest after his heroics, and he'd already been slapped with another unit. "Yes, Corporal, reassigned. UNSC Marine unit, under Sgt. Markez. Real good man, good commander. He'll make good use of your talents, Corporal. Now get moving; you report ASAP. And leave that junk here; you're no techie, you're a Marine, boy! Act like it!" Jake snapped to attention and saluted the officer. "Yes, SIR!" "By the way...Corporal...the Lieutenant has put you up for promotion for your actions today. You were close anyway, but after today, you should be getting that new chevron in no time. I'll let you know what's happening with that." "Yes, SIR!" Jake stood even straighter. Promoted! Unbelievable!

Jake strode out to the place he was told he'd be able to find Sgt. Markez, carrying his papers. "Hope these guys are good," he muttered. "I'd hate to have to carry them in battle. I'm no SPARTAN..." He spotted the Sergeant, and stepped up to him, holding out his papers. "Sir, Corporal Jacob Evans, reporting to kill some Covie bastards, SIR!"

Calvin bolted up and grabbed his things. He also managed to find another grenade and put it with his other three. Now all he had to do was wait.......And stuff.......

MC43 · 05-08-2004, 06:50 PM

Markez turned around. "Ah? What the hell do you want?" He took a look at him. "Oh yeah... you one of those Marines that helped your platoon get the hell out of there right?" He nodded. "Yep... I thought so. You deserve that promotion. I'm glad that I gave it to ya. I think it'll come in handy. Now that I know you can handle control, I just might give some to ya. Anyway, make sure you're ready to go, when we do need ya."

Wolf99x · 05-08-2004, 08:27 PM

Billy replenished his grenade and pistol ammo supply, then returned to E-419 to keep an eye on the LZ.
