Omega Pathfinders Game Thread

Mel comms, "Watch out for the bug burrows, people. I'm gonna check out the body. Cyrill, cover me."

She cautiously goes around the 'soft spot,' morita at the ready, and moves towards the prone human who's apparently dead.

Mission 4. Encounter 1. Update.

Cyrill takes up position against the transport and covers the hole.
Bishop moves cautiously towards the hole and peeps inside, it is dark and judging from the way light is entering he thinks the hole is deeper than 5’. He quickly backs up a little though as he smells a serious reek coming from the area below.
Carl remains ready to shoot, manning the twin fifty.
Mel skirts around the obvious weak point in the ground in front of the transport and takes a look at the body lying on the ground. From the clothing and obvious lack of any weapons Mel is able to deduce that the dead male is a farmer. He must have been transporting crops to the launch station for sale. From the exit wounds in his back it is quite apparent that he has been killed by two powerful stab wounds in his chest, most probably from the mantis bugs that were attacking the transport. From the way the body is lying it appears that the farmer must have been killed when he came around to the front of the transport from the side access door. The front of the transport has scuff marks and grime / bug juice splatters indicating the transport rammed into something before stopping.

Over the radio the squad can hear Sarge talking to Captain Underwood, it appears that Captain Underwood has also been informed about the distress signal that the Omega’s picked up.

Squad actions please.

Carl says to the rest of the squad “Someone should get the door of the transport open, there’s a chance the woman that was screaming over the com is still alive".

While saying this he keeps scanning for bug activity.
 

"This guy got up close and personal with a bug. Mantis probably," Mel reports woodenly. She gets up and does an IR sweep of the transport, looking to see if there's a hole or opening/

"I'm gonna check the transport."
 

"Sarge i'm going to reposition for better fire support" Jacob will radio as he moves to behind K in attempt to give the squad better fire support.
 

Mission 4. Encounter 1. Update.

Cyrill continues to provide cover for the troopers searching the immediate area.
Bishop pokes his head into the hole in the ground, scanning around but seems no life forms. The tunnel is quite large being approximately 50’ in diameter. Bishop can see that there is a large river of liquid at the bottom of the tunnel. Bishop has sealed his helmet to expel the noxious fumes that he previously whiffed.
Carl waits, what feels like forever, for the troopers to complete their search.
Mel quickly moves over to the side access door which is hanging ajar, apparently ripped open. She peers inside the doorway but can see no hostiles.
Jacob moves the large marauder into a better firing position.
Sarge yells into his intercom broadcasting locally to the squad, “Apes, it looks like the brass is taking a keen interest in what we are doing? Not sure why, but it sounds like Beta Company has itchy fingers and what to shoot at something. So lets get a move on.

Squad actions please.

Private Cyrill Kowaltzki

"Let me have a look at the hole, maybe I can figure out what happend... Bishop, cover me."

Cyrill will use his track feat to figure out what happend and what kind of critters moved from the hole to the transport and vice versa.
 

Carl wonders to himself what happened to the lady who’s voice they heard over the com as he prepares to move out and put up with more of Bishop’s manic driving. :)
