Joan's Radio
"Well, Alice, judging from the radio chatter there's not much of a reason to stay here. Unless I'm supposed to shoot Brit cops, which... probably isn't wise. Hmm. We should probably get out of here before any show up. You hungry? I'm hungry, I'm gonna go find a restaurant."
Pack up the sniper rifles and then leave the building. Head North, away from the bleeding hotel, and duck into the first establishment that serves food. Order the most expensive thing on the menu, Simon can totally chalk it up to mission expenses.
Name: Simon Smith
Description: A short and somewhat stocky man with a thick beard. His looks are deceptive, as he's actually quite agile.
He has six firearms chained to his back, along with an assortment of knives and a sniper rifle he's always carrying around. He's wearing an "inconspicuous" birdwatcher outfit, while carrying a small arsenal of firearms in bags.

"I've heard nothing but bad things about British food; might as well go see if there's any truth to it." Simon says, stuffing the De Lisle into his bag and heading for the stairwell.
"I've had spotted dick before." Alice replies a moment later, trotting after him with the binos held behind her back.
"I can't say I'm surprised."
"No, its a food."
"Just because you put it in your mouth doesn't make it food."
The pair take the stairs down and out onto the street, making their way away from the building at brisk walk. They head north until they hit buildings and then turn west and follow the road till they reach a Cafe. Its getting later in the evening so its mostly deserted. The windows shine out into the street like searchlights and a row of bulbs illuminates a painted sign reading "The Gilded Bear" along with a picture of a gold heraldic bear. You both step in and take a seat at a table near the window, which affords you a partial view of the Crescent and the park. Alice, who gets a very odd look from the old woman waitress, orders two cups of coffee and some tomato sandwiches while Simon idly stares out the window, his bag sitting on his lap.
"You think they'll be able to handle that?" Alice asks as soon as the waitress is out of earshot.
Simon shrugs. "Maybe. If they get out fast. Longer you hang around the scene of a murder, the harder it is to get away. Death has a suction to it; draws people in and makes them start asking questions. Usually loudly."
Red smoke was still coming from the building, though only visible from their chairs as a defuse pillar rising up from somewhere behind a nearby rooftop.
"Think anyone died?"
"Didn't sound like it. Well, at least no one we know."
"I hope people we know don't die."
"What a perfect encapsulation of the limits of most people's empathy."
"I try."
((Should've made it clear the 'two fellows' were the two tough guys I saw on the way in with Radioman, them staring at me and all :x Ah well, it's all good)).
Tala waiting a second to notice that there were particularly no Nazis left, or at least those shooting in her presumption.
Room c-clear. "-And cut!"
Tend to the wounded ((Wait I don't have the medi-bags on me >_>))
Search for the printing presses; I doubt they'd have booby-trapped them at the call of maintenance crew.
If I do have my medic bag, use it on any badly wounded (-2 or less) allies, and if not, inspect the enemies.

You start walking forward, covering your nose and mouth with one hand while waving the other -still holding your pistol- back and forth to try and clear a way through the smoke. You step over a corpse and do your best to navigate your way to the bedroom using what you remember of the room's layout. It takes a minute but you find it and [5] start to push the door open. However, you only get it a few inches open before you feel a light resistance and stop. Its not the weight of the door, or anything blocking it, rather its like there's a tension, as though you're pressing against a spring. You look through the small opening and see something metallic at about chest height.
You look closer and find that there is some sort of metal pin in a matching holder, with a steel wire attached to it. There's a simple mechanism that, if the door were opened too far, would pop the pin free.
"Booby traps."
((Denver has -3 Life currently and -1 Physical. I think Ed should lead the charge in though. Demoman and all.))
Rest in Hall well away from room, hold pressure on leg wound, treat with first aid kit.
"Can we get the set medic in the hallway?"
Name: Denver Gaunt
Description: Denver Gaunt is an average man of average build from New York. His family ran a small bakery, but Denver was disenchanted with the working class life and took up boxing. After joining up into the army, he discovered a newfound love of war and was quite overeager, eventually being transferred into the 888th for insubordination after several men were killed due to his rashness.

You hobble out into the hall and let yourself slide down until you land with an unceremonious thump, back propped against the wall. You get out your first aid kit and use it to cut open your pant leg enough to get at the wound and then use gauze and bandages to stop the bleeding before suturing it closed. You then wrap it in fresh bandages and use some paper tape to carefully seal it and further secure it in place. Its bloody, painful work but a syrette of morphine makes it doable.
((Hey, someone remind me, does helping yourself with your first aid kit need a roll, or can we assume that one can apply some bandaging around a hand without choking on a bandaid? Also, is bleeding leading to further loss of life/physical dice and such a thing?))
"We've, ah, dealt with the situation. We'll be in need of transportation, sooner rather than later!"
Then, turning towards his teammates, he added "Remember, if people ask, we are shooting a pivotal scene for the upcoming war flick 'Nazis are Assholes, part two: Kick 'em while They're Down'. "
Silently radio the situation to the other team members. Ask them to keep an escape vehicle ready and waiting.
Then start hiding the dead bodies in the cart. Try to make sure they won't bleed all over the floor. Be medic'd if such is forthcoming, if not and dice loss due to wounds is a mechanic then apply pressure to stem the bleeding.

You perform your eponymous duty, letting everyone not currently crouching in the hallway know whats going on. You get up, holding your bad hand in your armpit, and walk back into the room. As you go, you take a good look at your injuries. They're not great and you really aren't a fan of them, but they don't seem life threatening. Hobbling and painful, sure, but not deadly. The one in your hand is already barely bleeding thanks to the pressure, and the other has slowed to a trickle. You shrug and limp through the smoke to the closest body. injured as you are, lifting him seems unlikely, so you just grab him by the collar and haul him across the room over to the cart. Stopping them from bleeding is a pretty lost cause; they've already been bleeding all over the floor for about a minute now so some extra blood smudges really aren't gonna do much damage.
"Interior was a nightmare to begin with, but this isn't helping."
You drag all three corpses to the cart and even manage to get one in with great difficulty.
“Phew! that was hazardous! Somehow, I’m unscathed, guys!”
give my aid kit to Denver, Turn on flashlight, then follow the person who is leading the charge into the next room.
Also, piecewise, I’m gonna go away for a bit. Who wants to take over my character?

You walk up behind Tala and nearly walk straight into her as she stops at the doorway to the next room. You hear her mutter about booby traps as she examines the door and you try to look over her shoulder. Despite leaning at various angles and standing on your toes, you can't get a good look at whatever she's looking at.
"Got a car out back here, but I don't know if it's gonna fit you all. . ."
Bob radios back to the radioman that he's got a vehicle in place, and then inquired whether anyone escapes. If no one did, he'll go back to the car and prepare to leave in a hurry.
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.

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.
Survived the attack on the USS St. Elijah.
The Radioman informs you, in some sort of approximation of an Austrian Accent, that there were no survivors. You stay in the car and keep the engine running, letting everyone know where you are.
Shoot Nazi and cover my teammates.
Also, I’m assuming I spent some amount of bullets last round, but I don’t know how many.

She was deployed with the Brazilian Navy in the Atlantic for some time before being sent on reconnaissance in Italy, from there she somehow ended up here.

You saunter over to the entrance and start packing things back up, unhooking tripwires and generally making the hall more or less OSHA compliant. After finishing that you head into the apartment and follow Tala's grumbling of traps. [1] You reach through the opening in the door and, with a pair of wire cutters, snip the steel wire. From inside you can hear a whiz of movement as the wire sides across something and then a clank and a half dozen metallic "PING!"s.
"Ah. Its one of those kind of traps." You say, carefully placing your wire cutters back into your bag and gingerly shutting the door, patting it twice after its closed. You spin on your heel and promptly start running.
Meanwhile, back in the hall, the first few brave, inquisitive heads start peaking out of doorways. This isn't to imply that there are severed heads taking up residence here -though that may be the state of affairs momentarily- simply that the occupants have finally reconciled curiosity and fear and are now staring at several of you. Through the smoke.
