great..' Aisha mumbled ' She reached inside her coat and pulled out a small pistol she took aim, and fired ' the resulting scream indicated she had hit her mark ' we certainly have a talent for getting into messes , don't we?' she said to Alfred as she ducked return fire..

Zachary placed his rifle aside as it clicked empty. Around him, he saw the loggers placing their firearms aside and switching to melee weapons like knives, axes or shovels.

"We're running out of ammo," Zachary said, "let's hope Cpl. Stern, Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters finish this battle."

i've got a few clips left..' Aisha said emptying out the small spent shells and putting in a new clip..' maybe forty shots left.. if I'm lucky..

Aimee stepped back a bit when the sniper had fallen out of the tree, having not expected it at all as she glanced down to her feet which now had banadages on them thanks to Stern 'How did I even get into this mess to begin with?' she thought to herself, her mind was indeed, completely blank on her past at the moment.

Zachary and Alfred remained prone as the loggers fought.

"Hey, maybe we can make a run for it," Alfred said.

"What if Dragonstorm knows we're here?" Zachary asked. He then lowered his voice. "The loggers are indirectly helping us by protecting us," he added

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

Dr. Zanasiu, Dr. Bailey and Neville returned with their belongings.

They placed their weapons in the closet.

"Dr. Landon, I'll keep the first shift," Dr. Zanasiu said, loading his shotgun.

wE cannot run now.. we need to help them, after all they are helping us.. and these snipers may lead us to Dragonstorm..' Aisha replied firing off a few more shots..

"Does anyone know who these snipers are?!" Corporal Stern was fed up with all this crap he had to deal with. Dragonstorm, going undercover, guard duty, and now he was being shot at. Terrific.

He moved in front of Aimee, trying to protect her in case a shot were to be aimed at her.

'And all I wanted to know where I was...' Aimee continued to think to herself as another shot was fired, causing her to duck down a little bit as she looked to Corporal Stern "How long do yuo suppose this will last Corporal?" she asked him as she had no weapon herself to really be able to help out in this sort of situation.

The gunfire died down as the foreman shot the last sniper out of a tree.

"It's over," Alfred said getting to his feet.

"So now what do we do?" Zachary asked.

"Simple, see if the dead guys hold any clues to Dragonstorm, then we get the police, head back to the hotel and sleep."

Noname · **Reply #209 on:** February 10, 2010, 10:35:58 PM

"No time for sleep now!" Stern told the others, still agitated. Then, his expression softening, he turn to Aimee. Giving her a pistol from a hidden holster kept under his right pant leg, he helped her up. "Well, maybe Aimee needs some sleep, but the rest of us need to investigate this further."

MrDrake · **Reply #210 on:** February 10, 2010, 10:40:19 PM

"Sleep? No, I'm fine at the moment, I don't really want to have to sleep at the moment" Aimee replied back as she accepted the pistol that was handed over to her as well.

She didn't really want to have to mention where she had come from or what she had actually been through at the moment, as it seemed like they had enough to worry about it at the moment and that she would rather keep her problems to herself for the time being.

Serris · **Reply #211 on:** February 10, 2010, 10:40:58 PM

"We'll also need to alert Doc Z and the others," Alfred replied.

"So what will we tell the police? I mean it's kind of hard to make an excuse about why there are a bunch of dead guys in a logging camp and bullet holes and casings everywhere," Zachary replied.

"Let's go with the ecoterrorist excuse."

Noname · **Reply #212 on:** February 10, 2010, 10:55:52 PM

"Ecoterrorists usually aren't this violent" Stern replied. "We should search their bodies, try to find any clues." As he went over to the first sniper, the corporal looked into the pockets, and pulled out a folded piece of paper which read "Nice try, suckers!"

"What?" Looking closely at the corpse, he noticed that the skin had no hair on its arms, and the hair wasn't normal. These weren't humans at all! They were androids! And they were ready to explode! :blink:

Serris · **Reply #213 on:** February 10, 2010, 11:21:27 PM

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters went up to Cpl. Stern and examined the sniper.

"This isn't the sniper I shot," Spc. Crota said. "The sniper I killed had an infrared signature,"

Sgt. Masters dragged the corpse of a Shire horse, which was covered by some brush, over to Spc. Crota.

He looked at the corpse and gasped. "Hey! This is Mark Diament, that guy we met at the bar and who dropped the map that led us here!"

Sgt. Masters examined the wrecked android. "I guess that's why my infrared senses only picked up a few targets," he said.

Alfred and Zachary went up to Cpl. Stern and the Pit Vipers. "Has anything of importance been found?"

"The Shire we met in the bar, Mark Diament, was one of the snipers," Spc. Crota said.

"He must have known that Nemus Forestry had set a trap up for ecoterrorists. And then he drops the map, hoping that we'd investigate the camp and get killed or arrested by the loggers. Clever bastard," Alfred growled.

MrDrake · **Reply #214 on:** February 10, 2010, 11:24:32 PM

"Um, excuse me, I don't mean to butt in like this, but can someone explain to me what is going on? Who are you lot? And why would you attack a logging camp like this? It just doesn't really add up to me" Aimee soon spoke up to everyone, obviously, still having no idea on who Corporal Stern was.

Noname · **Reply #215 on:** February 10, 2010, 11:25:46 PM

Even more clever than that. All those android snipers were never intended to win the fight, at least, not while still functioning normally.

"Does anyone think we should take this evidence to the pol-"

BOOM!!

One of the 'corpses' exploded! Luckily, no one was badly hurt, but Stern was knocked over by the force of the blast.

Nick22 · **Reply #216 on:** February 10, 2010, 11:41:32 PM

So the whole thing was a setup.. oh those Dragonstorm (censored) are going to get a piece of my mind..' Aisha said " we need to clean this place up.. and pawn it off as an eco-terrorist attack.. that usually works.. and Aimee.. its a very long story, which we don't have time to tell you right now, but if you come along.we'll be glad to fill you in.."

MrDrake · **Reply #217 on:** February 11, 2010, 12:06:05 AM

Aimee was now starting to wonder on why they were calling her 'Aimee', as her memory had been rather fuzzy, the time at the lab she had been at it, caused most of it to have been lost, including her name, and who Corporal Stern was as she shook her head before rubbing her forehead lightly.

"Okay, I need to ask one other thing, especially to you" Aimee begun as she turned to Corporal Stern "Why...do you keep on calling me Aimee?" she asked him with a rather confused expression upon her face.

Noname · **Reply #218 on:** February 11, 2010, 12:15:14 AM

"You must be suffering from amnesia. Aimee is your name, girl. Don't you remember me? Thomas Stern? I was a private last we met, but I'm a corporal now. Don't you remember anything? Anything at all?"

It was a most perplexing situation.

Nick22 · **Reply #219 on:** February 11, 2010, 12:17:29 AM

i don't think she does Corporal.. its possible that whoever treated her at that facility wiped her memory.." Aisha said to Corporal Stern. " I think we need to get her out of here.. for her safety.."
