Mission 001:Pandoras Box
Post:03 An intorduction of Warfare
[6+3]Frunk, absolutely ready for warfare, leaps right out of the shuttle and into the thick of it, and before about three Soldiers and four "misc" workers had a chance to react, great gouts of superheated plasma-ready substance hail on them, their screams quickly becoming apparent.
Getting a good look around the Hanger bay, You note that there are more soldiers and workers in view. The vast majority of them being the alpha Species variant. About the same height as a Yaerian but stockier, and perhaps deadlier, if a little uncanny with how similar they look to a Yaerian.

[1+3] Thunderbolt IV raises its shield, and it's rifle, and exits the doorway, attempting to place down accurate fire, but it isn't too long before the enemy rallies up, and it quickly becomes apparent that they are being the one targetted. the shield is dented, and it's right limb lightly damaged from a stray Gryojet round.

[5] Ogni'pish leaps, taking the grenade from the floor and tossing it to Thunderbolt while he is defending and... [5] the machine catches it with virtual and practiced ease. huh. You take place on the opposite side of the door and moving the rifle fluidly, you kill the last soldier in view along with four more hanger bay personnel. This is too easy.

[2+1][3+3]
Magnetically releasing itself from the wall, the Vision stirs for a moment before ejecting Raptor 1, the drone immediately zipping out the doorway and into a position, feeding data for only a split second before a gryojet bolt slams into an armor place, flinging it out of the air and hitting a wall. The data Vision received was enough, and through the shuttle wall along with a thin concealment cover, two soldiers are killed, one is what is assumed to be a gut shot and the other a hit to the head. The bolt keeps going presumably until it hits a bulkhead. They were on the railing, up near the rafters. This information was relayed to the rest of the squad along with pertinent information about squad safety. Reconnecting with Raptor 1 results in the pertinent information that Raptor 1 has only sustained superficial damage and a half-sublimated plate that needs to be replaced.
[modify character sheet to deploy Raptor 1]
[5+3] [5+2] lucky bastard
Following the Combat Engineers footsteps, you move to cover right next to him, quite easily in fact. Most of the targets are being handled by the other squad mates until you note a small squad of soldiers up on the rafters, with concealment for cover, Just within 15 meters, an optimal engagement range for Psionics. Just as you begin "charging up" a linear round pierces the shuttles hull and slams into one, cutting through the thing like it was butter. No matter, you bring up the force of an ancient, unyielding power, of Darkmatter. A jet black semi-molten stream of dark matter slams through the railing, and presumably pulping whoever was there in that area. you will need a better angle to check. Just as the tremendous power leaves you, an aching, empty pain fills your entire body for a split second, before fading away.

The hanger bay is, for now, empty except for 4 engineering personnel who are intent on running the hell away from the Yaerian Starknights, You will need to move to the Cargo Elevator to begin the trek to the objective which is a short walk towards the bow of the vessel, which happens to be the hallway underneath the rafters where everyone presumably died. You believe you'll have around a minute or two before either reinforcement come or security countermeasures begin.
The Marines in the shuttle seem to start to wake back up again, as well.
The update will be tomorrow, sleeping is fun.
