[Delta Green] Operas and Avatars: Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays

[taitzu52]

(OOC- 4 or 5 days after toying with us on the OOC thread, you can hardly call it a "surprise" round.)

Andrews dives for cover. He squats behind a rock and pulls his pistol out in his right hand, and his phone in his left. He CB's to the State Trooper's Barracks, "This is Agent Andrews, F.B.I, we need back up at the San Carlos reservation, North by Northeast of Rt. 70, 8 miles past the line.", (OOC- or as close as I can get to directions) "Officer down," he yells, "I repeat, officer down!"

(OOC- I've always wanted to say that! )

Andrews hides behind a rock for a second after the call to get his bearings, and to see there the shot is coming from, and where Brown and Colorados are.

Solomon gets behind the cover of rock formation, raising his 10mm, also looking to see if the shooter is visible, and if he could safely pull Dosela back to cover, if by falling he did not land behind cover already. If he sees the shooter, however, Solomon takes the shot.

Andrews ducks behind a rock and makes a call on his cell phone. The Sheriff also drops down and gets behind some rocks pulling his service revolver as he does do. The Sheriff is about 15 feet ahead of Andrews and Brown. The cave mouth is 45 feet from the Sheriff.

Deputy Dosela falls to the ground on the trail 10 feet ahead of the Sheriff and he begins to convulse. Soloman ducks for cover and pulls his pistol. Peeking his head up to get the lay of the land he cannot see anyone in the cave as it is too dark inside to see very well. Just then the rock near Soloman's face shatters as another blast comes from the cave. Soloman ducks back and feels something wet on his cheek. Wiping it with his hand, he sees a small amount of blood on his fingers. Just a scratch from the shattered rock! Soloman's training kicks in and he pops up quickly and fires at the cave mouth and then drops right back down again.

OOC: That was close! Thank goodness for cover!

"Colorados!" Andrews shouts, "Is there any other way out of that cave?" Andrews looks around and back, looking for safer cover, maybe something further away where he can see the cave mouth and not be shot at so easily.

 

[Gomez]

Colorados yells, "No, I think that is the only way out!"

Looking around Andrews sees a more defenseable position about 25 feet behind him but the area in between him and the position is visible to anyone in the cave mouth.

 

[taitzu52]

Andrews mind is racing. In his whole career, he's only pulled his sidearm enough times to count on one hand. Gotta get that guy out of there, he thinks to himself. He peers out from behind the rock at Dosela, trying to see if one of them could pull him to cover while the others provide cover fire. Other than that, Andrew is ready to wait this bastard out until backup arrives.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Solomon grunts after the bullet narrowly misses him. "FBI just wants me for my mind, eh Andrews? We gotta get that deputy some help!"

(What are the rules for suppressive fire - can two of us fire off a hail of bullets without the specific intent of hitting the shooter, but getting close enough that he can't get off a shot at the third person, who gets Dosela to safety? AFAIK, the standard FBI pistol is a 10mm semi-automatic)

(AFAIK, the standard FBI pistol is a 10mm semi-automatic)

(OOC- Is that a brand name or an acronym? I was assuming a 9mm automatic. but if 10mm does the trick, so be it. Andrews is not an anacronist, nor a gun nut.)

 

[Maerdwyn]

ooc: "As Far As I Know". I'm just going off internet info, so it may be wrong. The brand name would be the Smith&Wesson 1076/NMS. What I was saying was that I wasn't sure if a semi automatic pistol would be effective as a weapon to provide good suppressive fire. Maerdwyn isn't much of a gun nut (I'm a good shot with a rifle, though ), but Solomon's been in the army, and would know a thing or two about such things.

 

[taitzu52]

(OOC-Andrews is assigned it, trained how to clean it, and shoots it at the range once a year. If it goes*bang*, and the guy on the dangerous end of it falls down, it's all good to him.)
