Kate radios to Sarge, “Sir we have to disengage NOW! The Black Knight is getting dangerously close to be trapped. I have done a scan and there is a planet within 2000 miles of us, not sure if it is hospitable but primary scans indicated a breathable atmosphere. I will try and upload the coordinates to the Songbird’s bridge. Damn it! Sir the connection is not allowed, you need to allow remote access from the bridge.” Kate then disengages the Black Knight from the airlock and moves to a safe distance.

While Cyrill is talking to Sarge, Dave butts in and yells over, “That is why we did not leave earlier… we could not get to the life boats with all the civilians. It would have been a blood bath, but now that you guys are here and considering our options are all exhausted we are gonna just have to make it!”.
Jacob is waiting for further orders.
Jonass remains on guard ready to shoot any targets.
Sarge says, “OK guys, let’s get a move on. Let us converge on the stairwell and see if we can fight our way through to those lifeboats. I need two volunteers for the bridge run, Dave send one of your guys since they will know the security system. We move as soon as Kate has downloaded the coordinates because I don’t want us flying blind out there.” Sarge then moves 30’ towards the exit from the airlock chamber.
The mantis hunter bug #2 can be heard moving around in the barricaded booby trap room.
Bishop gets back onto his feet and is ready with his SAW.
Zane stands guard and looks over at Dave and says, “I will go.”, but says it again with a bit more confidence this time, “Dave I will go.”, and takes a look at Sarge looking for a confirmation.
Mel is discussing tactics with the squad.
Carl reaches out and presses the trigger to Jacobs booby trap… 1 sec… 2 sec… and then there is an almighty explosion from within the room just beyond. Carl thinks to himself that there was a bit of a delay… “I wonder if Jacob wired those grenades up correctly the first time or did he have to try again?” Carl and Bishop can hear the sounds of stuff falling in the barricade room.

Squad actions please.

Private Cyrill Kowaltzki

Cyrill stays at Sarge's six.

"Just a thought, Sarge: can't we just blow our way through the floor to the life boats??? Shouldn't be to hard to localize the right position..."

Carl responds to Cyrill’s suggestion, “Sounds like a plan to me, it could save us a lot of blood sweat and tears if we could find the right location on the upper deck and then make a hole down to the lower one without damaging the lifeboat”

Carl continues “Perhaps Jacob should get busy setting the charges so long while Bishop and I accompany Zane to the bridge. Nothing personal Jacob, but I think your skills could be better used here”

“I hope Kate left Bishop a spare suit, his current one is starting to look like a piece of Swiss cheese, and what happened to those Javelin rockets I left in the air lock when we boarded (see post #366 page 10) they could also come in handy.”

"Damnit Carl, stop checking out my ass," Bishop says as he does a quick inspection of the damage to his powersuit.

"Have to agree with you though, think you and I should head up to the bridge and let Jacob open a shortcut to the lifeboats"

He then takes aim at the door again with the SAW ready to turn a bug into swiss cheese!

"The upper deck is clear according to intel," Mel says. "Bishop I think you and that cannon of yours should be down where the bugs are. I have some computer and tech training. I can head up to the bridge. Just don't fracking leave without us, alright?"

Sarge replies to Cyrill, “I think we should do that. Blowing a hole should allow us to drop down directly where we need to be. Dave lead the way to where you estimate we will be directly above the life boats. Mel, you and Zane make for the bridge while the rest of the squad forms up where Dave indicates. LETS MOVE!”.

… time passes without much happening other than the occasional menacing sound of arachnids in the lower deck…

The squad has formed up further “south” in the transport while Mel and Zane have moved to the bridge.

Mel and Zane will take another 4 rounds before they have returned to the squad. Bishop, Cyrill and Carl are stationed in the hallway providing cover when they hear banging sounds coming from the room at the south end of the hallway. (The room where Mel and Dave originally found the slicer worm)

Squad actions please.

While fiddling with the SAW Bishop takes a look at the damage to his powersuit then glances over at the southern door where all the noise is coming from ... "Keep it down!" he yells at whatever is behind the door and fires a burst into the door.

Carl puts away his Morita and takes out his trusty tinderbox. While doing an ammo check he wonders to himself what happened to the hunter bug that got caught in Jacob’s trap and hopes it is dead, but he has no intention of opening the door again to find out.

With his tinderbox ready Carl moves into a position so that he can use the flamer to protect the squad from whatever is in the southern room without frying them. He also switches his visor to IR mode just in case, making a mental note to switch it off before firing the flamer.
