[D20 Modern]Department 7 (IC)

Kara Acoma 6/6

"... But I'll let ya peek behind me curtain,"

Kara is nonplussed by the display as she was not really conscious of the strand anyway. She replies, “I supposed I could peek behind your wee curtain, but maybe…” She finishes the comment with a smile and holds out her hand with thumb and forefinger measuring out 1/2 inch for Rory to see. She turns to Ms. Johnson much more serious, abruptly cutting off the banter from continuing on into the gutter.

The rules of engagement are simple. Engage and destroy them by what ever means you wish. The only thing they understand is violence and the only way to stop them is to kill them.

Kara nods her head gravely, “I have no problem with that, a Shadow creature killed my father. Better to geek the orcs before they harm any innocents.” She picks up a Department 7 Employee Handbook from the end table next to her and lightly tosses it to Rory for him to answer his questions. <<OOC: Took the liberty, so VanorDM doesn’t have to re-write what was said at the beginning of the thread.>>


"This weapon might be heavier that some, but don't these larger bullets do more damage? And didn't Ms. Johnson say that Orcs are tougher than humans?"

<<OOC: Can you please use the lighter blue as above? I have a little problem with colors (eye issue) and the darker blue and the red(when Bold) are hard to read on the black background. I can’t even read Felix1459’s signature. Thanks>>


Kara turns to Rodny, easing the undercurrents of grief from her demeanor and replies in a more friendly tone, “As Nick can probably attest, you first need to hit your target before worrying about stopping power. But from my buddies in SWAT, there are better weapons available. Perhaps there will be some in the armory.”

She continues, “The FN Five-seven pistol has the same stopping power as your gun, but is lighter and more accurate. Likewise with a FN P90 submachinegun, but then you also have auto-fire options. If we need more range then we can bump you up to, let’s say, a Steyr AUG assault rifle. However, if you prefer, a shotgun can give you a better chance of hitting as well, say a Benelli M1 Super 90. Personally I am curious if we will need a sniper rifle as well, like the H&K PSG1.”

She continues on a little self-consciously figuring this would be more up Nick’s alley, but she did learn about weapons from her father and her associates, “Ammunition types can also be useful for increasing accuracy or stopping power. We should check stocks of AET, AP, Cold-loaded, and Tracer rounds. Hmmm, what about silencers if we need to stay less conspicuous?”
<< OOC: This is my request on weapon and equipment availability. Silenced weapon requests can be separate, if there are going to be available.>>

Rory's grin slides off his face at Kara's putdown, but nods in thanks when she tosses him a Handbook(TM).

Rory pipes in quickly, "The P90? Swank. That's the gun that the guys on Atlantis use, Rodny!"

Kara gives Rory another smile, showing she was really just busting on him, and adds further, “Yeah, not fooling around when it comes to firepower.”
 

"Well thanks for the info there." Nick says to Ms. Johnson after she gives her statement about the Orc's.

He then turns to Kara "Looks like we have something in common seeing as one of those shadow creatures killed my whole team...including my girlfriend." He then grabs one of these handbooks (if they in fact exist, since he also missed the intro).

"I'va always wanted one of those FN Five-SeveN pistols but I could never afford one. After all, they can easily pierce armor and can carry twenty where others carry ten. In fact I think I'll take one if they have them here. But I'd suggest carrying something of a more common caliber as well after all, what good is a gun if you don't have any ammo for it."

<<<OOC: Weapons request, AMT Backup (9mm) pg. 12 WL, FN Five-seveN (5.7mm) pg. 25 WL, Glock 17 (9mm) pg. 26 WL and the Mossberg Model 590 (12 Gauge) pg. 151 WL. WL=Weapons Locker and an undercover vest.>>>

In fact I think I'll take one if they have them here. But I'd suggest carrying something of a more common caliber as well after all, what good is a gun if you don't have any ammo for it."

Kara agrees with Nick, "Yeah Five-SeveN is expensive. If we stick with similar caliber weapons for everyone, that could make it easier to share ammunition in the field. How many orcs can there be, 10-15? If it’s more than that, we need a bigger crew than just the five of us. Personally, I am not big and strong enough to carry too many weapons.” She gestures up and down her body, indicates her petite 5’5” frame.

Kara thinks for a second and then considers something, “Before we get too carried away talking about guns, as much as I like them, perhaps we should determine a rough strategy for how to handle this operation. Then look for the proper tools. What do you guys think?”

With that thought in mind she asks another question of Ms. Johnson, “Wescot is next on their circuit, right? What kind of tactics are they using? You mentioned something about bikes, how are we for vehicles in the motor pool? We hit these guys while they are riding motorcycles and some of them are going to scatter. We probably are going to need to ATV’s to hunt them down in the woods."
 

Rory's wry grin returns when he sees Kara smiling at him. "If ye ask me, we need to do a sneak 'n peek to find out where their little clubhouse is, and how many gacks we're dealin' with."

Rory then slams his fist into his open palm. "Then we just take some feckin' C4 and bring down the whole feckin' roof on 'em!" Rory makes an explosion sound and quickly spreads his hands out and away from himself.

Rory had watched a lot of television, but he did not have the military background or Shadow knowledge that the others seemed to share. A handgun was a handgun, and a machine gun was just something he never thought he'd see in person. He didn't want to be left out of the mission, but he really wasn't sure how willing he was to risk his life in a face-to-face confrontation with killers, and monstrous killers at that. The whole thing seemed surreal to him.

Maybe I am feckin' dreaming... Best to just play along and hope for the best
, Rory concluded.

"So much talking 'bout guns gets me bored. I should practive instead of standing here like furniture. I'll be in the practice area..." states Ming, and walks heavily to the training room.


OOC: Is there any chance of Ming training to get some sort of bonus? Since everyone else is getting big guns and he will not.

Before he walks off, Kara repeats, “Like I said earlier, we should postpone our discussion of guns and instead determine a rough strategy for how to handle this operation. Then look for the proper tools. Do you have anything to contribute before you walk away?”
 

“Wescot is next on their circuit, right?"

Yes, or at least it should be based on the patten we've seen so far. Orc's are typically somewhat chaotic by nature, so there's no way of knowing for sure when or where they'll strike next however.

What they'll do is ride into town on bikes, maybe some with sidecars. They'll shoot up the town, but don't attack people unless they are seen as threat.

Don't mistake this for mercy, it's because if you're not a threat, you're not worth the time to stomp. Make a hostile move, or act like you might actually put up a fight and they'll tear you apart.

In the garage are a Truck that you could fit some dirt bikes or a ATV in the bed. There's also a sports car and 2 motorcycles, but those are street bikes. If you wish, I can have some dirt bikes or ATV's delivered to Wescot for you.

[ooc: The weapons you listed are in the armory and in enough numbers for everyone to have one each if you wish.[/ooc]
