"Thats fine, come on, lets do this!" Yells Jackson over the roar of the engines.
Throw HE grenade down on the roof, try to blow a hole. Also, look for some rope in the plane we can use to grapple down.
You take your HE grenade out of your belt, it bouncing in your hand due to the unstable hover. You wait...time it right, and then pull the pin, dropping the grenade directly on the top of the house. It bounces....and then rolls.
You only have enough time for a facepalm before Kane runs past you and jumps off the plane.
In the midst of all this failure, you do find a cabinet full of rope, parachutes, flares, fire extinguishers, and some floatation devices. Seems to be in case of a crash.
Moe Johnson looked at the aliens for a bit longer, before sighing. "You there... you seem to be the leader... Why don't you converse with them?" Moe thinks to himself that he really hopes he doesn't have to be the diplomat.
Attempt to convince another operative in the group to take the diplomat position.
"Hey you! Theodore! I'm not really into this whole giving myself up to the aliens as a diplomat sort of deal, so do you think you co-"
You stop mid sentence when you see a grenade roll off the roof of the house. In the split second you have, your training proved it's worth, and you immediately drop to the ground. A piece of shrapnel whizzes by your arm, taking a piece of your suit with it.
"I should have taken that ride."
Follow the ground team into the house if they do so. Try to figure out the quickest way of disabling the aliens without killing the girl
The ground team seems content to stand around for the moment, so you take a second to think to yourself.
[Int 2] You could uh....ask the aliens nicely to give up the girl. Maybe you could bake them cookies as a peace offering.
Excited by your new plan, you're about to share it with your team mates when you see a grenade roll off the roof of the house. You instinctively drop to the ground. The explosion goes off momentarily later, accompanied by cries of agony and pain. You thank the gods for sparing you from your team mates.
Ask the cops if they have any battering rams then using the knife put 5 holes in the wall in the shape of a square with a hole right in the center.
"We're just police. We don't carry battering rams around. Not exactly standard procedure"You approach the wall and are about to carve out some holes when you hear something drop behind you. A high explosive grenade.
[Dex 2] You attempt to sprint away but only succeed in catching your foot on the pavement and falling on your face. The grenade goes off momentarily later.
The explosion throws you at the suburban house wall, the crack of bones like a symphony of death. After a momentary pause, gravity catches up with you, and you plop onto the ground, like some rag doll for the gods to play with.
[End 1] You pass out from the excruciating pain.
"Make a hole in the roof for me and ill jump down onto the roof and get near it, waiting for some kind of signal that the shield is down" Kane yelled over engine noise...
"Any of you guys know if this shield covers the entire house or just windows and doors?" Kane yelled over his radio, hoping either his comrades or the local cops could give an answer.
Wait for the explosives to be thrown and to go off before jumping down onto the roof. If this could be co-ordinated with they guys on the ground going in through the wall, all the better. If not, no big deal, they can make thier move after I am on the roof, acting as a nice loud distraction. DO NOT go through any resulting hole without first finding out if it is safe to do so - IE no "shield"
You impatiently watch as Jackson carefully holds his grenade, trying to decide what angle to drop it at. Satisfied, he drops it, and you prepare to make a running jump. The theme of A team playing in your head, you leap off the Skyranger.
[Dex 6] You tuck yourself and roll onto the roof, coming out with a big A formed in your arms.
"What the hell is going on here!?The aliens, not seemingly pleased with the recent turn of events, take their pistols out of their holsters and aim them at the group assembled in front of the house. The little girl appears in the upstairs window again.
"They're really serious guys! Bring leader or they'll...no, no! don-" The girl's voice grows weak, and, seemingly unable to maintain her balance, collapses.
