Lance had made it back to personal quarters, he opened the door quickly and ran to his bedside, he opened his trunk and took the case of teeth, he then took out the few teeth Li had given him, and put them all in a small steel-plated case. He then looked for the srbosjek and put it on. "Now I have to get back..." He put the case in an ammunition pocket, and steadied himself to run to Leviathan. "That only took 6 minutes, but there's no way that I can get back there that fast..." He took a deep breath and ran as fast as he could towards Leviathan.

((Running off on your own, eh? And with no way of contacting Lotis or anybody else. Interesting.))
Michael took one of the earpieces Sgt. Stone had left behind and handed the other two to Lotis and Jun. He tapped it once to activate it and said, "Testing." His voice came through the other two earpieces and he tapped it again to turn it off. "Li, how much range do we have with these?" "Not too much, G-7. They're designed for use by a small squad, so maybe two corridors, if anybody else is using this frequency we should be able to hear them when we get close though." Michael nodded and then he and the other three members of Gemini fell in behind Lotis and even Spark didn't break the silence.

Lance runs into a sealed door blocking his path to the hangar, and as he starts around the next corner in search of another route the door is blown open by an explosion. The concussive force nearly knocks Lance off balance. A tall figure clad in a dark brown suit of power armor and armed with an assault rifle steps out of the smoking, blackened, and twisted doorway. There are no apparent insignias visible on the armor. It turns towards Lance and opens fire with the assault rifle.

Lotis, Jun, and Gemini squad hear an explosion back in the direction they came from, also the direction of the surface to space weapons control room(fire control), and another explosion coming from the direction they were headed. You could opt to avoid both directions and take a more roundabout route to the hangar.

((Only my only plan ^^))

Lance stood his ground until the figure's silhouette was visible, he then turned around, safety was a priority, and his suspicions had been correct, only seconds later bullets flew passed his head. He turned a corner and reached for the pistol he'd used during Li's training. "Six shots...gotta make it last..." He got up as the figure was closing in on him, and he ran into yet another sealed door. "Dammit! How many paths are blocked, can I even get to Leviathan?" He sighed and smiled, cocking his pistol. "I'm not going down without a fight!" He ran back for the tall person in the power suit, but it has apparently kept a beeline, ignoring the off turn Lance made, most likely knowing that it was a dead end.

The Leviathan could be reached in the shortest amount of time within the direction in front of them. Adjusting her communication device to hold the Daisy down, she held up the carbine. The sniper rifle was held on her back. Her eyes adjusted to the smoke from the explosion, making a motion to move forward to Alex and Micheal. Running forward, she made sure to hit anyone that looked like an enemy with a Carbine bullet. She had trained her eyes to notice the very tiny details in shadows. Of course, she didn't aim for the head unless she had a clear view.

((Basically it was a usual day in the hellish life that is Squire training the only major differences were an excess of tectonic activity and the arrival of the ship the Leviathan carrying Admiral Simmons. At 0818 Stone Protocol 5 was initiated, giving y'all 1 hour to get to the hangar. There is an unknown number of rebels now inside the facility, however it was deemed a big enough threat to initiate the self destruct protocol meaning either the number or at least capability of the attackers is considered a grave threat to both the facility and you trainees. Azure why don't you be part of Red squad meaning your designation will be R-#. 8, 39, 16, and 10 are all taken already, but any other number ranging from 1 to 39 is fine. And I'll repeat my personal posting rules. I won't post unless asked a specific question, all of the players have taken an action, or 24 hours have passed since the last person's post . At this point I'm waiting to see if Jxcrust will be posting in the next 24 hours.))

The hallway Lotis and her squad are moving through opens up into one of the smallish common areas where one of the power armor wearing rebels is firing a pair of wrist mounted machine guns at a group of marines who are using the trash cans, trees, and benches as cover. To little effect. Lotis's shot hits the armored rebel square in the chest, the shot forces him to take a step back and distracts him from the last marine. The pages all open fire too, their bullets don't do too much, although he does sag a bit on the side where most of the fire is concentrated. The rebel also opens fire on Lotis' team.

((The following is the most likely series of events, your actions can overwrite and change them.))
Li sprints out of the hallway and slides beneath a table, knocking it over to obscure the rebel's view, Michael and Alex hop over a concrete barrier just outside of the tunnel. And Spark stands her ground a moment too long and takes at least one shot to the chest, knocking her to the ground, possibly killing her. Jun immediately dropped to the ground, and is now checking Spark for a pulse.

The marine takes the brief respite to sprint over behind a column, you hear him shout, "FRAG OUT!", followed by the ping of a grenade hitting the floor, and see it roll towards the bench the rebel is standing beside. Li's eyes go wide and he scrambles to his feet and sprints over to a fountain. The rebel fires a rocket from a hidden compartment below his wrist at Li as he rolls into the water, destroying the top of the fountain and possibly either crushing Li with debris or blowing him up. And he fires another at Lotis, in addition to continuing the machine gun fire. He seems to either not have noticed the grenade or does not care about it's proximity.

When Lance popped his head back out the rebel fired off a rocket and then sprinted off down a hallway.

((Azure, when you post your character I'll determine where you are, unless you have an interesting idea you wish to use.))

Lotis looked toward's Spark a moment, going towards Jun. The area was too small to do anything but find some cover. Taking a quick look, she found what looked to be the doorway that pages often used to hide from Marines. Grasping the two up, she pushed them in, finding it was quite a narrow passageway. She had no time to stop the attack, so she closed the door with a hard knock to what looked to be a lever. She placed her guns down for a single moment, feeling the fake flower.

((Helba, I just want to make sure I understand Lotis's reactions correctly and also that you understand what the result of that would be. The guy is shooting both a machine gun and a rocket at her, and her reaction is to get down on the floor of the hallway. Unless I'm misunderstanding something. This means that while Lotis will pretty much completely avoid the machine gun fire, she will likely be taking a great deal of damage from the rocket, she'll survive, due to the augmentations she's undergone, but she will take severe injuries given that an explosion in a hallway like that doesn't have too many places to go and shrapnel tends to fly everywhere. Of course, pretty much everyone will be safe from the grenade, thanks to her warning.))

Name: Kurugi R-37
Age: 16
Role: Pilot
Quirk: Always wearing goggles or carrying goggles with him even on a mission.
Bio: A normally peaceful person, until he was rounded up. This eventually hardened Kurugi and sooner or later that nature started to wither away, while he still does tend to be a gentle person, he's always on guard in the case a battle should erupt.

((Egad, only 5 minutes have passed?!))

Lance jumped back and covered his ears. The rocket had missed him, but hit the wall opposite himself. "Where did that rocket come from?" Lance stood up, and pain shot through his body and he fell back down, "No...." he held his leg, and felt a shard of the wall in his leg. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he pulled out the chunk of steel. "Whew... just breathe, nice and easy..." He stood up on his leg, and held the wall for support, "Dammit!" He straightened his leg and slammed down on it, then ran back to personal quarters.

He left the quarters after cleaning his wound and applying some first aid, including stitching the wound closed, "That guy left me a path to the Leviathan though." He popped his head out and after seeing it was safe, he jogged out of the personal quarters, and through the blasted wall. "I've still got a lot of time to get there, I hope I don't run into one of those things again..."

Kurugi awakes to the sound of three explosions one right after the other. You are lying with your back up against a steel pillar that has several decent sized bullet holes in it. The body of a marine is lying on top of you, and up on the ceiling is the bleak metal plating shielding the glass of the facility. On the opposite side of the room, to your right, you see a marine peeking around a concrete pillar, he's clutching his rifle to his chest and his face is haggard yet relieved. In the middle of the room is a destroyed fountain. You start remembering where you are, one of Osmia's common areas. You don't see the rest of your team, and the last thing you remember you were about to go up to the Leviathan and then there was an explosion.

In the side of the room, to your back you can see a hallway that looks to have been blasted by something, there appears to be at least one or two people lying on the floor of the hallway, near the middle of the blackened area. Two pages are popping their heads up over a concrete barrier. About midway between the fountain and that wall is a blackened area of floor, most likely from an explosion. And in the wall to your left, and on the side of the room beyond the fountain, there is a figure clad in a full suit of armor, lying up against a sealed doorway, unmoving.
((You are now in the same area as Lotis and company.))
Lotis, you feel the warmth of the explosion wash over your back, but the blast passes by you and continues down the hallway. Spark looks up at you, almost tearing up. You get that not a whole lot of people have done things to make her life easier here, before anyone else can see she blinks the tears away and nods to you, ready to get back to work.

Li hops out of the fountain, coughing up water onto the concrete floor. He looks around, surveying the situation. Alex runs over to check on Li, and Michael to check on Lotis, Jun, and Spark. He checks her injuries, "Well, looks like somebody finally gave you a scar." "Yeah yeah, boss, make fun of the girl." He smiled and nodded to Lotis, ready to move out.

The marine, walks over to Kurugi, R-37. Good to see you awake, you took a pretty bad knock to the head."

Mission Clock: 52 Minutes
------------------------
((If it means that much to you. Let's see, wandering for a bit, running back, first aid, more wandering that adds up too...))
Lance, the only other trouble you run into for a while is lots and lots of sealed doors. You do finally come across one that will open for you, but it leads out of the facility and onto the surface of Osmia. You could head out there and hope to find another door, or you could do something else.

Lance's Mission Clock: 24 Minutes

((YEAH!!!! CHALLENGE BABY!))

Lance closed the door and sat against it. "I guess it's the only way..." He took off as much weight as he could, including ammunition, and stripped down to only pants and boots. The srbosjek was safely fastened to his wrist, and the steel case was in his pocket. He closed his eyes and said a short prayer, loading up the pistol and finally opening the door, sprinting outside for another entrance, in the direction of Leviathan. 'Even if I take in a bit more air than recommended as long as I get out of here I'll still be alive....' The pistol remained in his boot as he left his holster with his clothes.

((Azure, you may wish to reread my previous post if you've already read it. I made an edit.

Also, I am going to introduce something called Threads of Fate. Basically, what they allow you to do is tweak the world a bit. You might call it sheer dumb luck too. Anyways, what a thread of fate allows you to do is either make something happen that might be highly improbable happen or cheat death. They will be awarded for particularly interesting or creative solutions to a problem at hand, spectacular role playing, or doing something that's just plain cool, admittedly you may need to spend a thread if that cool thing is also suicidal, like running headlong at a machine gun emplacement and tossing a pair of grenades into it.

Everybody starts with 1 thread, Helba you have gained a second.

Also, I forgot to mention this before, if you want something to be in an area, and it's reasonable, it's there. Unless I specifically say something like the galley doesn't have any hot dogs, there are hot dogs; or if I say that particular armory has no grenades, there are at least a few grenades. Use your judgment and how cool it sounds to you as a gauge of whether it should be there. And most importantly, have fun.))

Lotis nods, picking up her weapons quickly. They still had to head to the Leviathan, she wondered if the path would take them there, but knew it would be best to go forward where they had come. She made a move with her carbine to move forward, making sure that everyone was following her.

"Oh....god what happe-" Kurugi awoke to the body of a dead marine on top of him, "What the hell, oh god!!" He threw the body off and walked up to it, he ripped off the dogtags to try and get a feel for what teams are near. Picking up the tags, he examined the the tag closely. "Hm.. Bally's Battallion. That's a small infantry squad, right? Let me see if my memory serves me correct, they were patrolling the Osmia Common near the Leviathan. Oh! I remember, that was my destination!" Kurugi wiped the blood off his mouth and picked up his blood-stained goggles off the floor and wiped the blood.

"Was I caught in an explosion or what?! Oh god..my head feels like crap right now!" Rubbing his temples, Kurugi grabbed an M16 off the floor and picked up a pack of Throwing Knives." He put the goggles over his eyes and started the run to the Leviathan.
