Yeah, you can join up with them, thats fine. Enjoy our baptism by hail stones.
You missed Charlie's action in the previous turn, PW. Not like it was super unique or important, just letting you know.
Sorry, must have gotten lost in the posts. If I ever miss something important, just quote and repost it with your action for this turn and I'll retcon it in.
((I can free action getting back right? Because that's totally my action))
Having only a few steps out onto the deck, Tala signals everyone to get back inside.
After having a faceful of cold, and a clothful of freeze, she finds herself in the area right before the open-air deck, sheltered by the room and with probably everyone else who decided staying outside and cold was a bad idea too.
"Change of plans. We need watchers on deck, but nobody can get out there unless we find something to withstand all that. Someone needs to get up to the communications bridge, and under guard. As for everything else--I need volunteers for that plan, and I need others for defending the rest of the ship. My rifle and I seem best for the former however, as everything is closed spaces down here.
"I have to presume that the other areas are in danger if this is the kind of greeting we're expecting up top. Everyone, disperse--follow the Radioman. He is better off protected alongside those with communications devices; I'm also unsure if getting them any closer to the bridge helps anything unless others have any better ideas. But I do not like what we're facing. Anyone else with sniper rifles and anything to help cover and watch with us--please carry the message along to the rest; defend the insides of the ship. I think there's a way to the rear with the General that way."
Get everyone to block/seal, or protect this passage from leakage (at least)
Order everyone the above, and then go through the other passage to the comms area--sending one of the NPCs as runners back to HQ with a message and the clicker code, summarized as: 'HQ' keeps under high alert; top deck of ship is now under heavy storm conditions, and that the lower vital areas can be under possible attack; suggestion to search in patrols. Team Tala will be trying the other passage below the top deck to head to the communications central, with weapons at the ready.
"Radioman, how did you get up to the bridge without getting fully soaked in this hail? Where is your partner?"
Also check if my weapon got affected by BAD WEATHER. Nobody wants gun jams or worse!

I think there may be some misunderstanding as to what I mean when I say upper and lower decks.
Here is an image of the kind of ship we're on
You see how the deck is sort of tiered? How there's a raised central area with a lower area around it? When I talk about the upper and lower decks, thats what I'm referencing. You can see how there are several doors set into the side wall of the elevated upper deck; the ones nearer the front are the entrances to the boiler rooms and engine rooms, while the ones near the back, under those big rear facing cannons, are the entrances to the comms room and the rear section of the ship's interior. Going to the Comm's room means remaining outside. The comms room is also currently frozen shut; another player has been standing outside trying to get it open for a bit now.
So what I'm gonna do is assume you perform your turn, sending that one NPC off to inform the people in HQ of whats going on while you lead the others through the storm over to the comm's door.
Your weapons all seem to be functional still, at least as far as you can tell without actually shooting them to test. There are no obvious jams or blockages and the water wouldn't do much to interfere with them, as far as you know.
((...So last I checked in, things were poker and paranoia and I thought we were just in the "doing things between missions" phase and so I sort of tuned out, expecting the title to change when things happened and Tiruin has informed me that I was incorrect -_-; What's going on, roughly?
(And is it ok to assume Winston is with the biggest group of people?))

Accept the rifle if it's still on offer. Go talk to Ed and stay near him if he makes a move, provide cover.
"Radioman, how did you get up to the bridge without getting fully soaked in this hail? Where is your partner?"
"That would be because the hail literally only just started, ma'm. My CO is currently near the doorway from the kitchen going outside. Was heading there now actually."
"Radioman, try the communication signals now. I'm under the presumption that the whole 'eye of the storm' was artificial, and whatever crack happened that brought us out (or maybe the ship's navigation did that by moving out of the calm), means we can try communicating.
"With all due respect, I've already tried that multiple times. The storm just got worse, I don't see why now suddenl-"
"Hail all 888th channels. Do not try the ship channels until all that is done."
"Ok, ok, fine, whatever."
Also quickly try the radio again I guess.
To Ed.
"Sir, perhaps you could try to blow the ceiling of the room below the bridge? We probably don't wanna blow the whole bridge f we want to still get out of here later, but some controlled demolition might be doable?"

You take the Rifle and go hang with Ed.
You try to contact the 888th radio bands and find that while they are still blocked, the interference pattern has changed. Now what was once entirely unintelligible is just barely understandable as speech, though in a language you can't understand. Its that same Slavic language that you heard on the Nazi radio before, the same voice too, you think.
"Now, why didn't I think of that. Good man, radio!"
Head inside, to the area just below the bridge, and rig up an explosive to the ceiling. do not arm it, but set up a wire so I can trigger it from elsewhere if necessary. Specifically do not trigger the explosive if a) the others are rushing the bridge, or b) the Nazis have left the bridge.
Also, if the Nazis have cut off our path to that location, head inside and find out what parts of the ship are known to be under the control of the enemy. Maybe go toward the boiler rooms and trap the hall there, or to teh secondary radio room if we can get inside (use all available tools: flashlight, crowbar, etc).

Pretty sure I gave it to Oz since he was the first to answer. Not that he can't be used by multiple people.
I'm going to assume that the information that Tala and a few other people saw, that of human figures moving down out of the bridge, will have been passed along to you. You still set up the explosive, but you don't set it off.
"That'll be alright. He can probably use it better than I can anyway."
Give Radioman the M1 Garand and 3 clips. Actually, just follow along with Tala's group.

Conga line of freezing death it is.
Stand ready, with my Rifle pointed at the door leading to the deck. Shoot anyone who comes through the door.
(I'm assuming there are no friendlies on the deck. If there are, and I would be aware of them, then I'll try to I.D. them before firing. But, if I don't recognize them immediately, I'll shoot.)

"Agh, whuh, we're giving up just 'cause of some water?! That's stupid, I'm gonna go with Ed, he's smart!"
Yes, distributing one rifle to Radio, and one rifle and pistol to crewmen, is perfectly fine. Or, if Winston (Twinwolf) insists on disarming himself because Tala wasn't paying attention, give both rifles to crewmen.
Then follow the radioman to where Ed is setting charges, and guard him while he does so. Invite the crewmen that Simon armed, the more the merrier!

You stagger off and join ed, who is placing an explosive on the ceiling of an area just under where he's pretty sure the bridge tower is. Now, you say you invited an NPC and there is one NPC who got sent back to report the current happenings with Tala's group, so I'm gonna assume you grab him after he tells everyone what happened.

You join Ed in his plan to save everyone by blowing large holes in the ship.
Bob will take out his flashlight from his general pack, scan the boiler room, and then try to grab a prybar before heading back to the radio room.
Name: Robert McKinley
Description: McKinley was about ten years old when WWI ended, and his brother returned with innumerable stories of gore and glory. Robert desired to fight for his country in the same way. There was, however, no immediate war in which he could partake. He considered himself to be one of the few to hate the Roaring Twenties. They were a time when the people wallowed in extravagance and purposely forgot the horrors, but also the sacrifices and heroism of the great war. And then came the depression. He found himself liking the depression, though of course, he didn't admit that. Mainly because it seemed like fitting retribution for the excess of the previous years. it might have also had to do with the fact that he managed to retain his job and keep up a standard of living. In any case, 1939 was a year almost of rejoicing, and after he had settled his affairs, he signed up for the battle which he had lusted for.
He's a tall, blondish man who fancies himself to have a certain rakish look. His eyes are deep set under a heavy brow, but full of disturbing light. Call him Bob.

Survived Injuries:
Hit in the forehead with machinegun fire on D-Day, helmet broke his nose, but saved his life.
Clipped by machinegun fire from main bunker on D-Day.
Caught in part of the fuel explosion in Poland: Large burns on exposed skin, but survived.
It takes you a couple minutes of searching but you find a prybar on the upper level of the boiler room. Its leaning against a wall behind a tool chest, out of sight unless you look carefully. You grab it and head back to the Comm's room door only to find a large group of people hanging around outside of it, lead by Tala. You also get completely soaked and battered as you push your way through the storm.
