"I'm up. Link me, techie."

[PyroDesu]

"I'm up. Link me, techie."

((Not a techie.))

[Caellath]

((Those were some lucky rolls. Were is desperate TCM to thank you right now?))
Sky mode

E turned to the man who gave her the prototype "Empyrean."

Action for Empyrean: Allow helmet-link.

[piecewise]

((I'm still surprised with the fact Empyrean escaped unscathed. How bad were the overall rolls and how did she roll?

Also, now we finally have more limbless people in the ship.))

"I'm sure he'll follow us. Let's move."

Milno turns his lamps on and starts to move to the access to the lower level while moving the rod in front of him.

You turn on your lamps, throwing a cone white out into the dark and murky waters, before opening the door out of the closet and into the building proper. You're at the end of a hall here, tucked into a corner. The hall dead ends to the right but heads off to the left and then turns right. There's a door set into the left wall about half way down. Other then algae ridden carpet and decaying walls there doesn't seem to be anything around.

((... Why am I a better doctor than any of the specialists seem to have been?))

Now that's taken care of, one of the first things I want us to do is link our helmet feeds, so we all see what each individual sees. That might help if we are separated, and it will really help with scouting.

Link video feeds with the others, if they agree.

Find the person who agreed to try my prototype, and see if they're intact.

Here's the rifle. It has three firing modes, single-shot, three-shot burst, and overcharge. 75 rounds in the magazine, or 25 if you're just going to use the burst. Alright at short ranges, excellent at medium. Also, I'd like to link data feeds with your suit specifically, and record them for posterity. Oh, and your name, please.

Hand them the rifle, then link their suit's data feeds to mine.

Hail Team A:

We've had a rough landing but all of the dying ones aren't dying anymore, nor are they dead. We're starting our mission. I'll check in when we've got an AAA tower down.

I assumed that E (the one who has it) already got it from you. So she has it. And she's the only one who is unhurt. A lucky charm, perhaps?

[aux:3-1] You poke around in the suit's settings but can't figure out how to link your damn helmets together. God damn operating system and it's poorly implemented commands!

(also, AA guns. Not sure what that extra A is for in Ant-Aircraft guns.)

 

[Orb]

((Anti-Aircraft Artillery. I'm guessing because its not a tank, and too big to be a gun, so they settled on artillery.))

[PyroDesu]

((Anti-Aircraft Artillery. AAA))

Empyrean. Got it.

Now, the next thing I think we should do is scout the dam. It would be bad if we just went down, and at some point start getting picked off by any rebels that might be up here. And, at the same time, we can get our wounded to the evac point ahead of time. Though we really shouldn't waste able bodies carrying bits that aren't important. I know, say, Nik, won't like it, but his legs aren't vital.

Get Nik's torso, along with someone else who might volunteer, and start off towards the other end of the dam, keeping a sharp eye out for anything unusual.

[Nicholas1024]

(also, AA guns. Not sure what that extra A is for in Ant-Aircraft guns.)

(Based on the above, AAA guns must be Anti-Ant-Aircraft guns. )

[Spinal_Taper]

Thomas checks the scope. How much does it zoom? How much will that help?

"I'm up. Link me, techie."

((Not a techie.))

((From his point of view you are. Not a flesh tech, but a guy that really uses tech. A lot.))

[Prosperus]

((Sorry guys, I guess that most of the action happens when I'm asleep ))

Lukas decides that it will be better to let the more experienced, more heavily armored Milno take the lead. It has been too long since Lukas was in the military anyway. "Sure, chief. I'll follow close behind"

Follow Milno close behind. Keep Crystalline Projecter ready. Activate lamps.

[Powder Miner]

((AAA=American Auto Association))
Neil follows too, in his assigned spot, looking around for what might constitute a threat.

[Prosperus]

((Alcohol Abuse Allowed))

[Caellath]

"Ok, let's get moving. Start throwing those for me."

Milno gives Lukas a handful of metal pieces.

"Throw them some meters ahead of us then retrieve them to we can scan the area ahead of us better. Use the fact my rod may encounter the traps too late and we may all be blown to pieces because of that; also remember this will make us move faster and avoid the utter destruction of our bodies by orbital bombardment."

He turns his motion sensor on, moves towards the door and opens it with the same antics used beforehand. If opening it with a rod can't be done, then force it open with the metal stick.

"Pay attention to everything, it can be the difference between dead and live lemmings."

Afterwards, if nothing kills them, he keeps walking towards the stairway, stopping if anything worth of notice happens or if his intuition a teammate accuses something strange, of course.

Any rooms should have their doors opened with a diagonal positioning and the lamps flashed upon inside.

[Prosperus]

Lukas shrugs. "Well, I guess that is safe way to do this. But what is your plan? You want to check every room on this floor or do you just want to head straight for the stairs?"

Hold on to the metal pieces until Milno explains his plan.

[Caellath]

Milno answers almost immediately.

"I'd rather avoid the rooms since we are on a time limit here, but I guess we may open them to avoid being ambushed. Keep the medic away from any shiny things, she may go nuts."

[IronyOwl]

Faith just grumbled inaudibly.


((EDIT: And maps, for those who don't want to dig back and find them:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Roof. Red square marks the entrance you'll use. 

Level 2. You'll come out in the Janitor's closet there. Stairway down is on the other side. 

Level 3
