Normandy Down: Deadly Planet Role Play

Jacob looked over across the huge platform and stared off into darkness until a hiss of pressure and a loud clink broke his concentration. His eyes widened as the dark truth dawned on him that he was now trapped inside of a drop base that was minutes away from being released. Concernedly he spun around and slammed his fist on the door. "Jenkins! Get this door open now!" A counter on the side of the door slowly ticked down from five minutes. "Sir, I can't get the door open! Only command can override the door!" Jacob slammed his fist into the door harder. "Jenkins, if you don't get this door open now-" Jacob just stared as the few of his soldiers at the view window slowly became farther away from him. In a split second decision, he ran to a strapped in vehicle and pulled the safety harness over himself. "All.. two-o..seve... mbers.. Aina is rank.. fficer-" Jacob's comm cut out.

Anya ran to the door. She had heard Jacob's com cut out. "Vat happened?!" She turned and struggled to get the door open. "Get me some ov zose tools. Open the control pannel. I can revire it and possibly open the door." Her heart sank and she ran to the window. "Jacob!"

"Don't touch the door! You'd risk decompressing the main room.. I served my time to the military. I'm not risking the rest of my team." Jacob sat back in the seat and of the vehicle and accessed the main computer in the dash. "This drop-base will touch down six miles from the main drop zone! I'll meet you all there... if.. when I touch down." He grinned like he always had when addressing his team. "You've always been strong Anya. Nows your time to shine. The team's yours until we re establish contact. I know you can do this just as well, or if not better than myself." Loud hissing sounds blew through the air as the pistons released the drop-base, one by one. "I'll see you on the other side."

daren dumped the locker of blood out near the edge of the clearing. as he began to drag it back he noticed a military vessel up in the atmosphere.. "shi*..." he dropped the locker and ran off to the dropship, closing the main hatch and watching through a viewport as the drop-base fell off of the ship and through the atmosphere. he ran to a long range radio and began broadcasting on the rouge groups secure frequency. "this is daren calling out. we've got trouble, get ready for hostiles." he shut off the radio and began loading his weapons. as he finished he opened the hatch once more and started a fire to cook the meat. he felt a light shaking in the ground like an earthquake as the base crashed into the ground a few kliks from where he was. "this fuc*ing sucks." he bit into the meat savoring the flavor which at first he expected to be very bland.

Anya cursed and watched helplessly as Jacob fell away from the ship. "I vant zat drop to be monitored, now! Make sure he lands in vne piece. Somevne who can vork vith vires come here and alter the com links. Try to change za frequency of za link. I vant to hear his voice by sundown." She stayed at the widow, struggling to keep an eye on the drop.

Alex looked around, heairng all the commotion. he looked back at Rek "whats happening?" be fore he got an answer, he ran out the room and found a group of people standing around looking at something. he remember Anya, someone who he remembered but she probably didn't. he went up to her to see what was wrong "what happened here? if its alright to ask"

The drop base began to shake violently as it entered the atmosphere, and plummeted to the ground below. The bases where designed for steep descents and high impacts, but no one had ever tested if a person could survive when one was following. With a loud thud, his was the second base to touch down on the planet. His vitals on the ship flickered as KIA, but quickly changed to ASHORE. Jacob's vision blurred as everything lurched forward and he and the vehicle were almost thrown against the wall of the drop. Jacob slowly climbed out of the vehicle and slumped against the floor. He quickly regained his feet, knowing that if he was going to survive, he would need that base operational.

Anya jumped and looked over at the man talking to her. She was quiet for a moment, trying to remember his face... Nope nothing. "Jacob is trapped in za drop. He just fell away not to long ago." One of the men came up to her. "Lt. Jacob has landed. The drop is in one piece and fully functional." She sighed with relief and nodded. "Good.. Evervne got get rested. Ve vill be following him soon."

Alex sighed and walked away, not really caring at this point. "well, at least i won't be bored around here anymore. i'll have something to do." he sat down and thought about his past, making him twitch slightly. he shook his head and held onto the Baphomet amulet his mother wore when she was alive.

daren emerged from the forest near the crater the drop had made. he raised his smg and walked to where the entrance would be. he knocked on the front door, backing away to seemingly dissapear back into the jungle. his skin crawled as insects of all sorts crawled on hissuit as he took a position prone on the ground.

Jacob moved towards the door, but did not dare touch it. No one else had been on the planet yet, and the main drop zone was miles away. He was certain that one of the enemy had found him and that he was going to be captured. Loading his weapon, he slowly hit the aft lights, which illuminated the outer are of the drop base very brightly.

daren covered his face with his left arm, rolling behind a thick tree for cover. he peeredaround, keeping his hand over his eyes to keep the light out until his goggles could compensate for the light. he pulled his smg up and pointed it at the door.

(( *mouth hangs open* this isnt what I imagined or expected the RP to be like at all. *confusion* WTF happened to the original plot?!))

((We were pulled after we gave chase and now we are engaging because we can't get reinforcements from the main base back on Earth. You know, THE PLOT. The Normandy will be brought down soon enough summing the beginning up. Take the OOC to the sign up thread please.))

Tex strode up to Anya shaking his head wildly.
"Wait! What? WHAT? Jacob isn't here any more? He's d-d-down t-there! Oh no no no no! T-this is not good! Not good at all!"
He was pacing back in fourth in front of Anya, waiting for her to say something. His fingers began to twitch again, and he began to sswaet profusely.

Alex waited for orders on what to do for now, trying to keep himself steady. "does anyone have anything to say?" he sighed and shook hs head

Anya sighed and watched him pace, waiting for him to get close enough for her to- SLAP! She back handed him hard and grabbed his shoulder, shaking him a bit as she spoke. "Pull youzelf togeze! Jacob is down zere, but I am still standing. Ve vill go and get him, zen return to base. He is still alive. ve havent lost him yet." She let him go and slowly made her way to one of Jacob's most trusted men. "Vat vas his plan originaly?"

Alex watched the whole thing and quietly laughed "i knew she was tougher than most men around here...she always seemed it" he got up and walked back to grab his weapons

"The plan? He was hoping to set down, after the Normandy dropped all of the bases. Then each team would go to the assigned base. Once each base was established, a small energy stream would link through each base and create a 'mini shield' around the main base, where the command of the ship would be. The shield only protects from direct attacks, but an aerial assault would go right over it. It's only about ten feet tall. Nonetheless, he wanted each base up and running fast." The soldier stood at attention and saluted Anya. "We can get a drop ship ready to take us ground side if it's your orders, ma'am."

"Ah! Sh!t! You didn't have to do that!!!" Tex sputted out as he stumbled backwards.
