The world shakes as your pod hits the ground and slides. [roll] You all regain consciousness at about the same time, the chairs are hanging from the ceiling, their occupants still in them aside from Cedric, who broke his harness and was thrown. Joan's endurance mean's she's the first one to come to. She manages to get herself out of her chair without falling on Cedric, who's not feeling well at all. Joan checks him. He seems fine, he just struck his head pretty hard when the pod rolled. Everyone else comes out of it eventually and together Luke and Sami manage to get the door open by kicking it. You all grab your weapons and someone helps Cedric climb out.
In four minutes it'll be 3 in the AM. A heavy mist hugs the overgrown floor of the jungle, and combined with the thick canopy overhead that shuts out all the early morning sunlight, visibility is practically nil. Several whistling roars, distant and near, can be heard as the other pods rocket to earth.

After a few hours of pitched battle the 23rd ground them down, routing the Nod forces. The unit's medical support and the heavy weaponry available to them had proved decisive in holding back Nod from the base they were stationed in.
