Alfred picked up his shotgun and dashed back to a nearby guard post. He entered and grabbed a box of shotgun shells and hastily reloaded as well as shoving the extra shells in his pockets. He also grabbed two magazines for Aisha's pistol.

"Aisha, take these!" Alfred said, sliding the two magazines to her.

He rolled several shells back to Dr. Zanasiu who picked them up and reloaded.

Alfred the fired on a guard trying to throw a grenade, killing him.

Aisha grabbed her rounds and quickly reloaded.. " Thanks alfred ! I owe you a big dinner!" she grinned"once we get out of here that is.."

Serris · **Reply #442 on:** August 22, 2009, 12:43:42 AM

Alfred grinned. "Not sure if I can even think about food now!" He took shot two other guards.

Dr. Zanasiu reloaded but before he could shoot the last guard, a burst of autoturret fire killed the guard.

"That's the last of them." Zachary said.

Dr. Bailey was working on the computer. "Give me a few minutes and I can override Branston's commands and force the door open."

----------------------------

Dr. Bailey cursed as he saw the guards outside dying. He grabbed a Sig-Saeur P-226 pistol and ran into the closet. There, he turned the hot and cold water faucets in the sink in a certain pattern. A hidden elevator rose from a large portion of the floor and he stepped into it. The elevator then sank into the floor with no trace of it ever having been present.

As soon as the enemies were dead, the bat ran over to Neku's side.
"N-Neku! Are you okay? Please...say something! Anything!"
He said, panic evident in his voice as he knelt...

Serris · **Reply #444 on:** August 23, 2009, 11:44:44 PM

"Done!" Dr. Bailey declared, typing in the last line.

The heavy steel doors groaned as they slid open.

"Odd, there's no one..." Dr. Zanasiu's words were cut short by a burst of pistol fire that narrowly missed his head.

He, Alfred and Zachary returned fire with the armed technicians, killing a few.

"Be careful! Though the computer casings are capable of withstanding moderate small arms fire, sustained fire will destroy them." Dr. Bailey shouted over the gunfire.

Far away and to the left, Pelvanida Base finally came into view for the two occupants of a military-grade helicopter.

"The base is in sight, Dr. Shelton," reported the pilot to the man next to him.

No answer. The pilot looked over. "Dr. Shelton?"

Shelton was snoring loudly in his seat, head tilted awkwardly to his side. The pilot shook him. "Dr. Shelton. You need to wake up, sir."

"Mmmrhuh?" Shelton blinked, and stretched. " 'Sup?"

"Pelvanida Base is in sight. You need to get ready for your aerial dropoff." The pilot focused on flying. "And you probably could use some caffeine too."

Shelton yawned. "Well, excuse me, after a 13 hour flight with no in-flight movie or salted peanuts? How much were they paying me again to do this?"

"Uh, nothing."

"Just checking. See if it changed since I last asked." Shelton peered down at the base. "Holy crap, how close are we?"

"Just getting in position for the aerial dropoff," the pilot steadied the copter.

"Um, I think we're way too close! You need to pull up!"

"Hey, I'm the pilot here!"

"And I used to work there! And they can totally hit us from this distance!"

A Boar technician spotted the helo on radar. "We've got party crashers! Altitude, about 90 meters. Range, about 100 meters!"

Two Human techicians returned Zachary's fire for a short moment before Alfred and Dr. Zanasiu killed them.

A Wolf technician in the back of the room locked onto the helo and ordered the perimoter defense turrets to open fire on it. He also radioed a squad of soldiers to be on standby near the entrance.

----------------------------

Outside Pelvanida, several of the .50 caliber Gatling guns roared to life as they shot at Shelton's helicopter, 100 meters away. API rounds streaked across the Nevandan sky in a deadly hail.

(OOC- API = armor piercing incendiary.)

"Jesus!" yelled the pilot, jerking the cyclic. Gunfire shredded the tail, shattered the windshield, and sent the copter spinning.

Shelton covered his head and cowered in his seat as the helicopter pinwheeled towards the roof of the base. Gunfire punched holes in the copter's frame.

The pilot pumped the pedals and pulled back on the collective lever. "I can slow our descent, but we're going to crash!"

(OOC: Should the copter land on the roof? I'd prefer that, but is it realistic for the roof to survive a copter crashing into it?)

Within minutes, Vic has patched up Neku's stump and other injuries, but the experiment is far from out of danger. He began work on an IV setup to put some blood back into him. He took a sample of Neku's blood and began to pinpoint his blood type. Hopefully a donor is in the vicinity...

Dr Joe knew what Vic is doing, and soon fiddles into her own computer and pulls up a database of all the base's regular experiments and those that reside in the sub-levels. Luckily, everyone is labeled with a blood type...

----------

Ariol was back outside when he hears gunfire from the base homing in on another intruder. This was not going to be a good night...

Serris · **Reply #449 on:** August 24, 2009, 06:31:47 PM

(OOC - Pelvanida base is mostly underground and it is established that the buildings are basically bunkers but I don't think the roof can survive a helo crash without severe damage. In fact, that could actually be used; the helo can crash into a computer lab near the control room, actually breaching the lab, and the group would hear it.)

--------------------------------

The soldiers outside Pelvanida watched as the turrets shot down the helicopter. They were standing near Alfred's wrecked truck.

"Hey wait! We'll have to head inside! It's gonna crash into the complex!" a Bear soldier shouted.

The team leader, a wiry Golden Retriever, nodded and ordered her squad inside.

--------------------------------

The Boar technician grinned momentarily as he watched the helicopter getting shot down. His grin quickly turned to horror as he watched the helo spiral towards the complex. He quickly radioed the squad leader.

"Delta squad! Helo crash is imminent near lab 428! Repeat helo crash imminent near lab 428!"

A bullet whizzed by his head. He drew his pistol and shot at Aisha, but Alfred quickly killed him with a load of buckshot to the head. The console was destroyed by Alfred's shotgun blast as well.

Soon, most of the technicians fled except for a few who took cover behind steel tables.

Ariol calmly jogged away from where the helicopter was expected to fall. "I need a team to converge on the chopper as soon as it crashes!" he picked up a radio from a dead soldier. "I want no survivors to escape! And get some troops back up in the damned control towers! Reinforcements will need all the cover they can get!"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #451 on:** August 24, 2009, 07:16:52 PM

Without further ado, the helicopter crashed into the roof of Pelvanida. The rotor, the tail section, the runners; everything got ripped off, with the cockpit being the only thing that didn't become instant twisted metal. And that includes the roof.

Smoke and fire flooded the adjacent labs, drowning out the sound of one man coughing, trying to extricate himself from the blackened wreckage.

Serris · **Reply #452 on:** August 24, 2009, 07:59:15 PM

The base's CO2 fire extinguishing system quickly put out the fires in the adjacent labs. Luckily, the scientists in the lab were on break.

--------------------

Dr. Branston was sitting inside the secret control room when he radioed Ariol. "Ariol, Delta squad is heading to the helo crash site, which appears to be in the vicinity of lab 428."

He then radioed Delta leader. "Delta leader, there is substantial smoke infiltration in that area as well as low O2 levels."

--------------------

Meanwhile, Delta leader had carefully routed her squad around the control room and waited a safe distance from lab 428. They had stopped by an emergency station to grab airpacks.

"Remember," she said, her voice muffled by the mask "we are to capture whoever is inside the helo. We kill only if they resist."

Two other gasmask clad squad members readied net launchers, which fired a net made from a high tensile strength polymer.

Delta leader pulled out a Taser from a hip holster. Across her back was an SMG.

Delta leader and her squad entered lab 428. The lab was in shambles and a wrecked helicopter was in the middle of the room. Dusky light illuminated the room.

She spotted Shelton in the wreckage and aimed her Taser at him. "You. Stop moving and come with us."

the sounds odf the the helicopter crash reached Aisha " Er guys, were we expecting any back-up? Because that sounded like a plane crash!"

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #454 on:** August 24, 2009, 09:40:01 PM

"Good. I'll remain on the outside awaiting my 'clean up' to arrive..." Ariol responded. He clipped the radio on him and now waits quietly by the helipad..."

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #455 on:** August 24, 2009, 11:05:53 PM

"Good god, I'm not dead. I think I just became religious," sighed Shelton, after checking himself and realizing he was covered only in minor scrapes and scratches.

He was slightly less enthused when his "rescuers" came for him. "I'm stuck!" he said, trying to free his legs from the space under the seat. "I can't move or come with you!"

Serris · **Reply #456 on:** August 25, 2009, 12:01:28 AM

Dr. Zanasiu nodded. "Yes... And that was Dr. Shelton!" He shot a technician who took aim at Alfred.

Alfred reloaded and killed the last technician. "Okay, we're clear!"

Dr. Bailey picked up his laptop and darted into the control room. He plugged it into a nearby outlet and placed it on a table while he grabbed a chair and pulled up next to one of the control panels.

He entered a few commands and examined the windows that popped up. "Okay, it appears that a helicopter was shot down and the crash appears to have been in lab 428-the computer lab. There appear to be several life signs but the crash wrecked the cameras so I can't see anything. Best bet is to check it out but be careful, O2 levels are low and there is smoke. There are some airpacks here. You'll need them."

"Will do." Zachary said. He then turned to Hans and Werner. "Hans, Werner, guard Bailey."

Hans and Werner, with their weapons at the ready, stood by Dr. Bailey.

"So who's coming?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

--------------------------------

Delta leader sighed. "Cut him free." she ordered.

Two of her soldiers returned with a pair of bolt cutters and an ax. They quickly cut Shelton loose.

Delta leader then aimed her Taser at Shelton. "Will you come with us willingly or do we have to Tase you?"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #457 on:** August 25, 2009, 12:11:16 AM

Shelton almost said, "Don't tase me, bro!" but decided this woman was not a person to mess around with. "Willingly! Definitely willingly!" he exclaimed, raising his hands in the air.

Serris · **Reply #458 on:** August 25, 2009, 01:40:45 AM

Delta leader radioed Dr. Branston. "Branston, we have caught the intruder."

She then marched Shelton out of the wrecked lab.

-------------------

Dr. Branston nodded as he listened to Delta leader. He then radioed Ariol.

"Ariol, the interloper has been captured." Dr. Branston said via radio.

Dr Landon, and Aisha made thier move, dfollowing the others into the control room"I'm coming with" Aisha voluntered" My leg is feeling better now.."
