Mission 2: Operation Cryptic Pipe

Deathwatch Librarian Garroth's log, recording #001:

I've been working with the scientists and our Techmarine to investigate the xenotech. So far, progress has been slow but steady - we've reassembled what seems to be a plasma pistol. Several researchers are keen to try it out.


***

Bradford: Satellites just picked up UFO contrails over the western coast of Africa. Interceptors have been scrambled to try and pick it off.


Raven-1: Target acquired. Missile volleys away.


Raven-1: Nailed it. We are RTB, over and out.

*celebratory clapping and cheers*
Bradford: This fight ain't over yet, not by a long shot. Satellites detected movement at the crash site. Bridger, you'll be leading your team to clear them out and retrieve anything that could be useful.
Remuthra: On it. Get ready, team.

***

Bradford: We tracked the UFO to a crash site in Nigeria. It might get lively on the ground, so stay sharp.


Remuthra: Seems like a scene right out of a Death World, this.


Remuthra: Let's find some cover, it's too exposed here.
Han: I'll cover. Get into position!
Brown, Kaos: On it.


*scampering*
Han: I see something, taking a shot-


Han: Dammit, they've run off into the fog!


Kaos: We've got your back, Han.
Han: Moving up then- I see them. 2 xenos, dead ahead.


Brown: I've got your flank- oshit! Xenos on my flank now, need some help here!
Remuthra: Sit tight Brown, we'll see what they try and do.
*plasma weapon fire*
Brown: That burned!


*more plasma weapon fire*
Brown: ungggh- *thud*


Kaos: We shall avenge you, brother.
Remuthra: I've got a bead on this one here. Firing now.


Remuthra: One xenos down.
Han: I think I've got this one here.


*autogun fire*


Han: For Brother Brown!
Remuthra: Moving up to cover.
*low thrum of psychic power*


Han: I'm gonna move up. Watch my back-


Han: Oof. That stung. Kaos, you're clear to move up.
Kaos: Moving.
Remuthra: Got you covered.
Han: Taking cover.


*plasma weapon fire*
Kaos: That was close.


Han: Moving up to flank- augh, I can't get a clean shot!


Han: I'll take the shot anyway.
*autogun fire*
Han: Gotcha!
Kaos: Moving in, gonna try my luck too-


*more autogun fire*
Kaos: Damn, missed that xenos. I'm in trouble, aren't I?
Remuthra: Gonna try and flush them out. Rocket away! OSHI-


Remuthra: FOUL XENOS WHAT IS THIS
Kaos: OOOF


Han: Relax Kaos, I'll patch you up. We'll see if we get another shot at them.


Kaos: FOR THE EMPRAH- crap.


*yet more plasma weapon fire*
Kaos: ooof- got one in my sights, taking it out-
*autogun fire*
Kaos: BY THE EMPRAH'S HAND, DIE FOUL XENOS
*footsteps*
*rattling mechanisms*
*multiple plasma weapons fire*
Kaos: Emperor protect me-



Kaos: HA FOUL XENOS


Kaos: THE EMPRAH PROTECTS
Han: Flanking now.


Han: All hostile biosigns eliminated. One squad member permanently incapacitated though.
Spoiler: Debrief Report (click to show/hide)

Well.. that was kinda successful. Kinda. Wish we didn't lose Assault Sq Brown that early though, honestly wasn't expecting a pair of xenos to crawl up that flank. On the other hand, our rookies acquitted themselves pretty well, I'd say.

Also drafted a handful of new recruits (no new Brits yet..) and ordered a pair of interceptors.

Nope, but we have a Yank. If you don't mind, I could make him into a Yank with Scottish ancestry :)

  "It's okay, just a flesh wound....!" *thud*
The thud of falling into a bed? :P

Also, nice writeup from Brother Zoku :3

Not at the moment, no.

I have a Brit in the Apothecarium, a Yank, a German, a Chinese, and an Egyptian left. I should probably recruit more volunteers then.

I, Altasian, would like to sign up for the fight against xenos! Though nationality's irrelevant, as they sound all the same, a comrade from Russia would be preferable.
