Escape from Osmia-Mission Complete

[GamerKale]

((Thanks for joining Jxcrust.))
"JUN! Let's move it." Shouted B-5: Ron, Jun's partner in blue squad. Or the engineering squad as the marines liked to call them. "Put your teddy bear down and let's go. We have that presentation to give to the admiral up on the Leviathon. We were supposed to head out five minutes ago."

Alex pulled the trigger just as a large quake struck, causing his shot to veer far to the right. He frowned in dismay and started to line up another shot, but the lights all across the facility went dark. Spark started saying something to Michael, "Settle down, pages. You were briefed that this could happen this morning. Power will be restored shortly." As soon as Sgt. Stone finished talking the lights were revived and Alex returned to aiming.

Lance looked at all the pages and sighed, "Yo, kid!" He pointed at Li, and grabbed a pistol, opting for pistols, as his training was more hand-to-hand than actual guns. He still would not doubt that those trained with guns of any kind would survive longer. He smiled and grabbed Li's arm, "Do you prefer to fight on the field or are you more stealth-like?" Lance grinned, "I'm not the best firing teacher, but I'm pretty sure I can teach you a thing or two about shooting...I hope." He handed Li the pistol and walked him over to a firing range. "What's your name kid, I forget most of the pages...." he smiled faintly and looked at the target, setting it to move and jerk randomly every once in a while.

Lotis' eyes had remained calm, keeping track of where everyone was by the sound that had emanated from the room. Alex was still beside her, and B-8 was with G-10 a short distance away. Though she heard Sergeant Stone, she knew he could take care of himself. Looking at Alex's aim, she spoke only once. "Steady your hold." She began to fire again, aiming for the head.

Jun sighed and looked up from his work to his partner as he was finishing with the energy core of his custom Tri-Beam Rifle. "Yeah okay I'm almost done!"

But suddenly the energy core started sparking and created a large shockwave. The blast destroyed the energy cores of all the other weapons because Jun had used gamma waves in his custom prototype as apposed to the rest which used photon waves. Although his weapon was fine, the other weapons were basicly ruined from the gamma radiation.

Jun stood up from the shockwave and brushed himself off as he arose in the blue mechanic-like jumpsuit that all the Blue Squad members wore with his name Jun over his front right pocket and B-16 on his back both in white. "Well I guess I should have used gamma technology on all of them... Or maybe photon tech on all of them? Ah Sarge is going to slaughter me! Let's get out of here Ron!", he said to his friend as he tossed out the ruined prototypes and hid away his custom weapon.

The two Blue Squad members made their way to the Leviathon and to the presentation hall infront of the Admiral and all the other COs and XOs. Jun had forgot the topic he was a top engineer of Blue Team and nobody at the base could top him in energy weapons but he forgot the topic. "Ron... What's the topic again?"

[GamerKale]

Sgt. Stone received a call on his comm and stepped out of the room for a moment. Li took the pistol and began following the target with his eyes. "G-10: Li, and I have no preference. I haven't done enough stealth missions for that to be revealed to me yet." He raised the pistol, muttered something under his breath, strengthened his grip to prepare for the recoil and fired once. He smiled for a moment, he had just clipped it, but he did hit it.

Ron rolled his eyes. "He wants to hear how our research is going. Specifically our progress on ship level weaponry as well as a better countermeasure than super heavy armor." The pilot of the shuttle that was going to take Jun and Ron up to the Leviathon stepped out of the cockpit and into the passenger section. "Sorry boys, Stone's grounded us. Maybe that last shock caused some unexpected damage. He wants to talk to you two though, he's over at the firing range near your barracks. Oh, and he says to bring some of your prototypes." Jun notices that the hallways are even quieter than usual when he leaves the hangar.

Stone returns to the room, with a furrowed brow, and pulls an assault rifle and a carbine out of the locker. "Enough special attention, you must train them to use these." He hands the weapons to Michael and Spark. The rifles seemed too big for the kids, but they managed to find solid holds. Sgt. Stone also withdraws a pocket notebook and scribbles something down.

[Jxcrust]

*Sigh* "Jun rolls his eyes as he runs back to the lab and picks up the only working prototype, his custom Tri-Beam Rifle, and his research notebook. He runs back to where Ron and the pilot are in front of the transporter.

"Okay well if we are grounded we might as well find Sarge and give him our presentation..." say Jun picks up the prototype and straps it on his back with a smile and continues, "And a demonstration..."

"Come on Ron we got to get to firing range or Stone will give us kitchen duity!", Jun said as he ran to the firing range near his quarters. They made it to the range and walked up to Sargent Stone and saluted and say the shouted, "Sargent! Blue Squad Engineers B-16 Jun and B-5 Ron reporting Sargent!"

Lance smiled and patted Li's back, "Good job kid-err...G-10!" Lance looked at the target, it hit the target on its far left, but it didn't matter, it would definitely stun most real targets. "Might I suggest trying to figure out where it's going to be, not trailing it?" He used his on handgun, and aimed at the target, trailing it slowly. "Bull’s-eye..." he didn't hit it directly in the middle, but it was closer to the target's center than Li's was.”Well, I'm not 100 percent accurate, but that was good eno-" Sergeant Stone's voice silenced him immediately as he turned and gave him his full attention. "Go get a carbine, try and get one of the smaller ones." Lance said taking the gun from Li's hand.

[Helbaworshipper]

Lotis turned towards Alex, who had yet to stop aiming. She slowly lowered the sniper rifle down, grasping a good sized Carbine from the closet. The sniper rifle remained near her, should she need to go back to instructing Alex with it. She looked at the target's distance, experienced with having to improvise on the field. "G-2." She spoke, "Improvise."

[GamerKale]

Stone returned the salute. "Very good, stand at the back for the time being."

Improvise? Alex relaxed his grip and looked quizzically at Lotis. "Improvise what ma'am?"

Li hurried to the weapons locker and back. He fumbled with the gun as he was trying to load it. The weapon clattered to the ground and he flinched slightly, expecting Sgt. Stone to yell and reprimand him, but it wasn't coming. Spark snorted as she stifled laughter and received a withering look from Michael, the two were still standing by the wall, awaiting orders.

Sgt. Stone's face was unreadable, but inside he was finding it difficult to just be an observer. "B-16, when I leave you will demonstrate your weapon to the others. B-5, you will come with me." Ron looked at Jun, silently asking if he knew what this was about.

"Try to hit the target with a Carbine." She spoke, raising her own up and beginning to aim. "Improvise, G-2." She spoke again, waiting for him to attempt to use the Carbine. He would have to learn that before any big missions. A sniper rifle is not something that would always protect you.

[Jxcrust]

"Yes Sir!", Jun shouted as he and Ron went where they were instructed.

After Sargent Stone told him and Ron what was going on and his partner gave him a questioning look, Jun just shrugged his shoulders for he didn't know what to make of it either. Jun started flipping through his three hundred pages of research he had written, speed reading as all future-Knight Engineers were trained in. He readied his Tri-Beam Riffle for the demonstration and started prepping for the demonstration and what he was going to say.

Jun was ready for the presentation, while he would rather present with his partner and best friend Ron, these things happen when you are as Squire and you must be ready for any changes in the field as well as training. "Sargent Stone! B-16 Jun ready for prototype presentation and demonstration!"

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Lance turned quickly when he heard the weapon clatter to the floor. "G-10, are you okay?" Lance rushed to his side and picked up the weapon. He patted Li's back and said calmly, "Don't worry about it." He glanced over to Spark and Michael, "You two, come here!" He pointed specifically at them, then patted Li's back one more time, "Go on and shoot the target, it may be a little more difficult depending on your weapon preference." He sent Li off and when the two pages came to him he smiled, "Sergeant Stone doesn't want any special attention for anyone, and you two seem bored, so come on. I'll set you up with some targets."

[GamerKale]

Michael and Spark began trading off shots, neither was very fast and they only hit about sixty and forty percent of the time respectively.

Alex nodded, set his rifle down with care, and retrieved a carbine. He tensed his muscles and began rapid firing. About seventy percent of the shots hit their mark and about a third of those were close to dead center. Michael whistled at Alex's shooting.

Sgt. Stone scribbled something else down after Michael and Spark began shooting. With that he snapped his notepad shut, grabbed an assault rifle and a carbine from the locker, set three earpieces atop it, and left. "I'll see you later, I guess." Said Ron as he hurried out after Sgt. Stone.

Lotis nodded, "Continue, G-2." She walked towards the Micheal, checking his hold on the Carbine. Gently her hands adjusted the grip he had placed on the gun. "Balance your weight." She then looked at them from a distance. She gave a light smile towards B-8.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Lance smiled back, but his attention quickly turned towards Michael and Spark. "You did good guys, but honestly..." he turned to Spark. "You could do better, I hate to bring you down by telling going off about your marksmanship, but you need to focus more. You haven't even hit half of the time." He gave a long sigh and patted Spark's back. "I used to be pretty bad myself at shooting, so I practiced more hand-to-hand combat, might I suggest it to you?" Lance then walked next to Michael monitoring his shots. "You're pretty good kid, but try to center in on the target, don't worry about anyone else." He then walked over to Li and smiled, "How are you doing, G-10?"

[GamerKale]

((Sorry for taking so long to continue the story. It's been busy these past couple of days what with Scott Pilgrim and all.))

"Don't do it, Spark." Whispered Michael. Spark smiled at him, set her rifle down, and started a slow walk towards Lance. "Hey, Lance." She said before doing a handstand and bringing her heel down where Lance's head had been. Quick reflexes and ample training allowed Lance to evade the attack. Li walked over to Michael as the two hand to hand specialists duked it out. "Well, at least it's B-8." "Yeah, why can't she ever just let it go. They're not trying to talk down to her or anything." Li picked up Spark's rifle and he and Michael began shooting.

It took Jun actually setting up a target and firing his prototype to get everyone's attention. Spark stopped trying to wriggle free of Lance's hold and for a brief moment everything seemed to stop and there was dead silence. And then the facility suddenly went to code red alert and a voice came over the intercom.

"Attention, several rebel soldiers have infiltrated the facility. They are heavily armed. The exact number is unknown. And it is believed they used the debris from the asteroid as cover for their approach. So far, we know they landed in the marine barracks and the infirmary, but their exact whereabouts and numbers are unknown. I am initiating Stone Protocol 5. Do your jobs and Godspeed." There is an explosion, gunfire, yelling, and the sound of glass breaking before the intercom cuts off.

Li set his rifle down and said a quick prayer, Michael and Alex turned toward Lotis, and Spark decided to cooperate.

Stone Protocol 5: Acquire and switch communicators to channel 6 and encryption 13. Squires and Pages are to get off-world, in this case get to the Leviathan. Marines are to protect the Squires and Pages at all costs. Bulkheads will drop to limit aggressor movement and seal off critical systems. Also, the facility will self destruct, via strategically placed nuclear warheads, in 1 hour.

Lance let go of Spark and looked to Lotis, "B-39...." He sighed and looked around, "You heard the order, and we have to evacuate the Facility!" He stood at the door and pointed the Pages towards the Leviathan. "First Yellow squad...now this..." Lance's eyes opened wide, coming to a sudden realization. He ran out and looked towards personal quarters, his back on the Pages. "I'll be back in 15 minutes! T-there's something I want to bring with me..." He turned to Lotis, and then turned to run back to personal quarters. "I won't get caught!" 'If they ask I'll just tell them it was the srbosjek that Y-10 gave me...' He passed the place where the tremor had interrupted his race with Li and stopped for a breath, "I really hope that case can hold them all..."

((Mind if I take Y-10?))

[GamerKale]

((Go right ahead.))

[Helbaworshipper]

"G-2, Micheal, Spark." Lotis spoke, tossing a carbine or sniper rifle depending on the unit role. She held a sniper rifle and a Carbine herself, one hand touching the fake daisy. "Leviathan." She spoke, beginning to go out of the door. The three should follow her if they knew the code. Any page and squire had to know that code by heart.
