Mission 3, Day 1, Encounter 1, Round 32.

Sarge asks Jacob, “So what do you think? Can you blow a hole for us to drop through?”, pointing to the floor in the centre of the room.

Mel and Zane are hot footing it back to the rest of the squad as fast as they can.

Bishop lets a burst of bullets slam into the door at the southern end of the hallway punching neat little holes in the door. The hail of bullets is followed by a deep roar of pain! The sound is similar to what the troopers have heard before… the screech of the slicer worms… but this time it is a much deeper sound than the high pitch of the slicer worms… Seconds later there is once again a loud crash as the door is pounded again. This time the trio guarding outside can see teeth marks in the door… and they are not the 6 inch diameter as previously seen but rather almost the full length of the door! The door is buckling on its hinges from the force of blow.

Squad actions please.

When Bishop sees the teath marks form on the door his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

"Um ... Jacob ... how we doing with that shortcut?" Bishop says over the comm.

He lowers the SAW as he finds a grenade on his belt with the other. Setting it to proximity mode he rolls it down the corridor toward the door hoping is will stop neatly in the corner.

"I somehow don't think the few holes in my suti are gonna make a difference when that door comes down," Bishop mutters to Cyrill

Private Cyrill Kowaltzki

To Bishop: "You're damn right, we have to get out of here, FAST! And don't fire into that door again, it keeps the thing away from us..."

Via Comm to the squad: "This is Cyrill, looks like the mother of all worms is chewing through the door so you better hurry. The smaller ones were unpleasant enough and I don't want to meet their angry mother."

Cyrill stays ready to open fire [He is out of nades, right?].

"Ehh dont think that it'll be a problem, but no promises of a staircase. let me set the charges and lets give em some room, just incase." Jacob will respond after surveying the area. removing his demo kit, he'll do his best to shape some charges to blow a hole to the lower level without breaching the outter hull.

 

[Venom]

Carl remains ready with his flamer, as soon as the bug breaks through the door he will flame the passage in front of the squad to try and protect them and give them time to attack the creature.

 

[Shayuri]

"Hey, if that worm's as big as you say, what if we kill it and use the hole it made?" Mel comms as she pelts back alongside Dave. "We're gonna be pressed for time before the lifeboats can't eject." As she continues, she reloads her Morita with a fresh clip.

Mission 3, Day 1, Encounter 1, Round 33.

The insistent banging against the weakening door makes the trio standing point more and more nervous. They don’t think the door is going to last much more than a couple of seconds at best.

Sarge and the rest of the squad standing by Jacob pull back into the room next door to give Jacob room to place the explosives.

Jacob retrieves his demo kit and goes about placing a nice ring of explosives to cut through the floor. He has to work fast as he knows that there is no time to waste, (Demolitions skill check roll of 18 + 5 = 23 vs DC 15 (Place Explosive Device) (Explosive will do double damage!), demolitions skill check roll of 14 + 5 = 19 vs DC 10 (Set detonator)). Jacob slaps the plastique down and shoves a detonator, rather unceremoniously in, and pulls back to the room with the others so that he can detonate the ring of explosives.

Mel and Zane are still 2 rounds out…

Bishop lobs a grenade which bounces once before landing nicely infront of the door.

Squad actions please.

 

[riaan_s]

Over the comm: "How's that shortcut coming, Jacob?"

Bishop then decides to try his own version of setting a "trap" as he lobs a second grenande (set to proximity!) toward the door.

 

[JonnyFive]

jacob moves to where the rest of the squad is. "ahhh... Fire in the hole!" Jacob radios back cheerfully as he hits the detonate switch.

Private Cyrill Kowaltzki

With a grim experession on his face Cyrill keeps on aiming at the door ready to open fire.

Comm: "Mel, you better hurry!"

"Bishop, could you drop so I'll have a clear shot once this worm is through the door?"
