[Metal Joe d20 Modern] No Rest for the Nameless [PG-17]

[Ashrem Bayle]

OOC: oops... nevermind.

 

[Jemal]

Zeus nods silently in agreement, frowning as he considers the situation for a moment, specifically that damned radio. THIS could cause problems...

 

[garyh]

Snake follows Evac's recommendation and does what he does best.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Wraith checked his PDA as it vibrated. He looked down at it, and then nodded silently at Evac. He kicked off his safety, and then pointed in the direction he intended to go so Zeus would know what he was doing.

He motioned for Snake to take the left flank. Wraith took the right, gliding quietly through the foliage, weapon ready.

 

[Krizzel]

Wraith and Snake are gone for some time, fanning out on their separate paths. Wraith keeps hearing something, but he can never see it. Eventually even the sound disappears, and he is about to turn back, when something catches his eye. It's in fact the white of another eye - but, in a shrub? Suddenly the whole face becomes clear to him, painted with green and brown and black, and suspended apparently in the middle of a large plant next to a boulder about fifteen feet away.

OOC: Sorry Kai - rolled a one for your last hide check - probably the only way anyone would ever see you.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Wraith, rifle already up, trained the laser on the woman's forehead. "Freeze! Drop your weapon, and stand up slowly."

Over the radio, he said "Enemy contact. I have her in custody."

This must be the sniper...

"Who are you?"

 

[KitanaVorr]

The figure didn't even blink despite the red pinpoint of death highlighting her brow. With slow movements, the camouflaged face begins to hover just a little higher until Wraith could see that the figure was now standing, though whatever body lay hidden in the multiple folds and mish mash of the ghille suit. The rifle that had been in her hand rested on the floor at her feet.

Then a low rather husky voice answered him, sounding as if it hadn't been used for several days. "Your babysitter."

 

[Jemal]

"Bring her back to the battle site. Snake, keep a lookout on the perimeter while we deal with our captives." Zeus instructed, then went to the dead man to check on his gear, trying to figure out if the radio has any homing devices or such, see if he can tell how long it's been since it was last used, what frequency it's on, etc (+12 mechanical skill). "Someone pull that other guy over here and bind him." he says over his shoulder to anyone within hearing range.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

"Roger." Wraith called into his mic. "Babysitter eh? Toss any other weapons you have on the ground and move over there." He nodded, indicating a small clearing about 10ft away. He wanted a better look at her. Wraith trusted no man... or woman.

-Assuming she cooperates-

As she moved, he recovered her rifle from the ground. "Ok. Mrs. Babysitter. What are you doing here?"

 

[KitanaVorr]

A slender brow arched as the woman listened to Zeus reply. He's not the commander A tinge of what might be disappointment touched that eyebrow. From what he could make out in the clearing, she had striking face with gently tilted almond eyes, cold...and dark. The rest of her consisted of a well-disguised ghille suit that nearly covered her so completely that even in the clearing she looked like part of the jungle growth...a mound of underbrush with a face peeking out. He really couldn't figure out what other weapons she had underneath.

A pistol thudded at his feet.

"Rendezvous point," she spoke again in those creepy even tones, her soft voice barely echoing to Wraith. He had to practically concentrate to hear her speak. Something about her seemed cold, almost inhuman. "Then speak freely."

Her eyes though rested her riftle in his hands, following its every movement as though it were a precious child.
