Last post before my Christmas Vacation begins and My normal fairly common posting schedule gets completely fucked up. From Now till the 5th my posts could be anything from scattered to non-existent depending on internet situations and if my grandma demands we all play cards for 10 hours.
Team AJim leaves and leads the team into the next house down.
Maximum volume through external PA systems:
Attention inhabitants of Habitation Block A, we are coming in to extract you. If you resist, we have full discretion to open fire, with devastating force. Come out, and you will be sent topside in a Peacekeeper APC, and become their responsibility. Do not make this more difficult than it needs to be. Once again, we have been sent to pull you out, so the UWM forces topside can come in and figure out what happened here without interference.
Follow.
The team enters another house, this one with a red X painted over the door. There are several bodies in here,each wrapped in a airtight plastic seal and placed near door in an orderly fashion. The house itself is almost completely untouched: the bathroom sink is a bloody mess, as are the beds and one of the couches. Tissues coated with a hardened mix of blood and mucus lay in piles near the couch and bed. This and a general disarray in the kitchen are the only signs of anything off, otherwise the house looks as though the occupants simply stepped out.
Team B[Team B Leader=Milno]
Milno looked around for a moment before closing on the bodies to check on them.
"Eh, shit's too quiet."
Try to check where the shots have come from (direction and height) and analyze the caliber of the guns used, trying to discover if they were just civilian rifles. Pay attention to the buildings and landscape as well to see if there any cuts and indents that seem to indicate heavier weaponry and/or mining lasers.

Search the bodies for further clues.
Knife Party. Safely.
"I'm guessing that this group tried to be diplomatic and a non-violent safe haven for pretty much anyone that wanted it. Apparently some other groups disagreed with their policy."
Continue exploration, stay close to the group, etc.
"You think it might be a gang?"
Follow Milno, examine the area and try to get a general feel for what happened.
Kyle wanders off to examine the building directly to the right while the rest of the team tries to figure out what happened with the men who were gunned down. Judging from the quantity of impacts around the area and their direction it looks like all the shots were fired from either the entrance to the Housing block or somewhere close to it. The impacts all look to be from lower caliber weapons, probably civ gauss rifles or pistols, not energy weapons. However, it doesn't look random, like a fire fight. It seems like these men were standing in a crowd and that the shooters, all standing in the street, probably shoulder to shoulder or at least in a group just opened fire. Judging from the rest f the scene it doesn't look like these guys shot back either.
Kyle wanders back out of the building a moment later. "Looks like someone was trying to barricade the place; pushed the furniture against the windows and barred the doors. No sign of anyone though."
Lars opens his mouth to say something no doubt Theologically "insightful" but stops when a bullet catches him square in the chest.
Team CKeep sweeping the northern part. Pick up/examine anything that looks interesting/useful. If the first block is sweeped, do the one behind that.
'You found something Stacy? Good work, try to find out what it is/who it comes from, and perhaps attempt to contact whoever is on the other side, if possible.
Rest of the squad, keep going.'
Name:Flint/Deeper Scum - Team C - Housing block C, in a building
"In spy movies whenever the bad guy is broadcasting the good guy sometimes tries to triangulate the signal, whatever the hell that is. Any of you science guys know how to do that?"
Keep following the leader. See if the radio has some sort of signal power indicator. If so, use it with whoever else volunteers to try to triangulate the signal, to at least get a rough estimate of the direction it's coming from.
There isn't any sort of radio signal strength indicator on the suit so the team continues to explore in search of anything of interest or possibly homicidal intent in the buildings. They don't have to go far before they find something: a body laying in a strangely unburnt section of a building. The body is wearing a white bio-hazard suit and has what looks like an enormous metal tank on it's back, with what looks like a spraying wand connected to it. The man's white suit is stained dark on his chest where the handle of a knife is sticking out from between is ribs.
Team D"Oh, erm, well let's get going then, shall we."
Jobasio snapped out of his trance, stuffed his datapad back in his bag and moved to follow the others as he slipped his rifle down from his shoulder to a ready position. By this point he hardly noticed the bodies scattered around. He just did his best not to look at them and that seemed to help. He nodded towards the others as he dropped to a crouch across from the door they selected.
"Alright, I'll cover you. Try and move aside as soon as the door is dealt with, just in case."
>As the others breach the door, train my gauss rifle at the newly-made entrance, ready to shoot anyone who might fire on us.
Bishop nodded, eyeing the size of his mechanical teammate standing next to him. "Right. Keep a lookout for trouble. Just because we can't see any, doesn't mean it's not there."
Get the rest of the group in gear and head with Lukas. Get the lot of them to stop by the first house and grab two people to breach it with me to head inside and clear it. Doesn't matter who it is, as long as they can fit inside and it's not Lukas.
Team D - Lukas - Street beyond doors D block
Lukas briefly inspects his surroundings before turning to Bishop. "We'll, let's get to it. Maybe it is best if you explore the buildings while I explore the streets."
Explore streets but keep close to the rest of the team.
Assist Bishop in breaching the first house. Turn kinetic amp on, punch door hard.
"Oi, we're here to help!"
Lukas starts meandering his giant ass down the street while the rest of the team attempts to breach the nearest home. Rather then punching and blasting their way in, someone gets the bright idea to try to door and finds it unlocked. The building itself is a home, rather large and clearly for one or more families with several children. The home looks almost completely untouched; some things have clearly been moved and taken, clothing laying near closets along with a great amount of empty hangers, cabinets emptied, and the like. It seems like the residents just packed up and left somewhere.
Lukas wanders several buildings down on the road but doesn't find anything of any real interest.
