MCptAdamDrake: $ ::activates his phaser into standby and charge:: Charge up, Marines, we've got some Romulan Asses to Kick!
VAdm Sankoh: % ::breaks through the upper atmosphere and starts a strafing run of the STA installations::
Lt TKirr: % ::follows 8Ball, making adjustment to sensors and analyzes the shielding of the enemy base::
MCptAdamDrake: {{What is STA?}}
VAdm Sankoh: <<Surface to Air>>
MCptAdamDrake: {{Oh, duh, I'm going to go and try to dribble a football now.}}
Lieutenant FJ: %::follows in formation, keeping a close eye on sensor readings::
Lt TKirr: % ::flanks 8Ball, picking targets::
MajorAZinthys: <<Be sure you kick it over the net, okay?>>
VAdm Sankoh: % ::lets his phasers fly, dodging the fire from the STA installations::
MCptAdamDrake: {{I'll try. :-P}}
VAdm Sankoh: % +Phantoms+ Get a move on, we've just over a minute to get these taken out!
Lieutenant FJ: %::begins defensive flight manuevers sending phaser fire toward the STAs::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::somewhat enters the rhythm of the bumping as they descend into the atmosphere::
MajorAZinthys: $+Marines+ One minute 'til touchdown!
Lt TKirr: % ::senses incoming fire and veers away from other fighters, sending a flurry of phaser fire onto an installation::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::rolls back around and destroys a turret::
MajorAZinthys: $::Is jarred as the DropShip takes fire::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::watches his sensors::
MCptAdamDrake: $ So, two guys walk into a bar...
Lieutenant FJ: %::targets a turret and fires all weapons on it as his fighter passes by::
VAdm Sankoh: % +Sehlat+ Get that turret hitting the dropship!
Lt TKirr: % ::enters an attack pattern into the computer to efficiently knock out two armaments in a single pass::
Lt TKirr: % +SFAF+ Aye, sir.
MajorAZinthys: $MDSCs> ::Start slowing down the DSs as they enter the atmosphere::

VAdm Sankoh: % ::rolls back around and fires on the turret::
Lt TKirr: % ::banks and swings her craft towards her sensor beep, throwing full power to weapons and releasing fire::
Lieutenant FJ: %::sees an active turret on the far side of the battle area and begins a attack proceedure::
MajorAZinthys: $MDSCs> ::Engage landing gear::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::looks at the lame responses on the faces of his squad members:: What? I don't see you coming out with any better ones.

Lt TKirr: % +8Ball+ Acknowledged.
Lieutenant FJ: %+8ball+ Aye
MajorAZinthys: $::Readies his rifle and leads the troops out, guns blazin'::
Lt TKirr: % ::flies into a panoramic angle of the compound, giving her sensors full sweep of weapon activity::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::sprints out into the fray, watching disrupter fire spreading across the field of battle:: This is what it's all about, blowin' crap up! ::returns fire::
MajorAZinthys: $::Missed shots start glancing off a forcefield erected around the compound::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::watches the battle on the ground, strafing the enemy troops when he gets a chance::
Lt TKirr: % ::rotates sideways and looks down through the window at the Marines::
Lieutenant FJ: %::sweeps over part of the compound keeping an eye on whats going on down below, and making sure no air assaults begin::
MajorAZinthys: $::Smiles as the external force is quickly neutralized::
MajorAZinthys: $+Drake+ Echo Squad, take care of that 'field so we can get on in.
Lieutenant FJ: %::fires into a swarm of the oppositions forces::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::fires some more shots off, but watches as they hit a forcefield:: Damn, forcefield already. Tertiary diversion sequence. Jeddin and Davidson point A and B, I'll take C. Motley and Herrick cover.
VAdm Sankoh: % +Phantoms+ Concentrate all fire on that forcefield.
Lt TKirr: % ::notices a heavy concentration of enemy foot soldiers, and fires one round into its midst::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::comes about and strafes the forcefield::
Lt TKirr: % +Phantoms+ Coming about.
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::whips out some chords and beacons and sets them up - watching the others do the same::
MajorAZinthys: $::Starts positioning troops around the forcefield::
MajorAZinthys: $::Gives them orders to storm the office building when it comes down::
Captain Sullivan: :::has Tac prepare targeting and weaponry:::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::fiddles with the buttons and such as his cohorts follow suit:: Prep for diversion sequence in ten...
Lt TKirr: % ::flies towards forcefield and concentrates all fire on 8Ball's targets::
MCptAdamDrake: $ Seven...
Lieutenant FJ: %::moves into position to attack the forcefield:: sweeps over the forcefield laying into it heavily with phasers::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::finalizes his coordinates and diversion:: We've got to scramble it.
MCptAdamDrake: $ Now! ::hits the keys::
Lt TKirr: % ::diverts power from shields into weapons::
VAdm Sankoh: % That forcefield wasn't on the reports... it's slowing us down.
Lieutenant FJ: %::moves into position for another pass, firing with the same intensity::
VAdm Sankoh: % +Atlantis+ Sullivan, come in.
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::watches as teh forcefield flutters and disappears - a console several hundred feet away exploding from a feedback pulse::
MCptAdamDrake: $ We're good to go!
MajorAZinthys: $::Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie Squads storm in as the forcefield goes down::
Captain Sullivan: *Sank* Sulivan here
MajorAZinthys: $+Drake+ Good work, Echo
MCptAdamDrake: $ +Zinthys+ Thanks, Major, but we've got a long way to go.
MajorAZinthys: $::Rushes into the building::
VAdm Sankoh: % +Sullivan+ I want some covering fire on the power generator for that forcefield.
Lt TKirr: % ::scatters her fingers across the console as new targets pop up all over her sensors::
MCptAdamDrake: $ Let's go, Echo squad! ::sprints in after the teams that enter the compound, lit corridors are filled with Romulans::
Lieutenant FJ: %::returns to defensive flight, looking for any chance to help the boys on the ground::
MajorAZinthys: $::Stalls as Romulan ground troops stop the inital advance::
Captain Sullivan: *Sank* Your wish is my command, sir.
Lt TKirr: % ::begins to recharge her weapons, scanning base::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::watches his LR sensors::
Captain Sullivan: ::::gives the order and watches TAC commence firing:::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::Watches the generator installation explode with fire from heaven::
MajorAZinthys: $::Shoots Rommie scum::
Lt TKirr: % +8Ball+ Sehlat standing by. Any specific targets, sir?
VAdm Sankoh: ACTION> A wave of Romulan interceptors appear on sensors.
MajorAZinthys: $::Quickly surveys the firefight::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::enters the Romulan compound and slams a Romulan with the butt of his rifle as it mindlessly rounds a corridor::
VAdm Sankoh: % +Phantoms+ Incoming bandits!
Lt TKirr: % +8Ball+ ::stares:: Never mind.k
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::looks his tricorder on his wrist beacon:: +Zinthys+ Major, I can't isolate Trajeh's lifesigns.
MajorAZinthys: $+Marines+ Alpha, you're with me. Bravo, Charlie pin 'em here.
Lt TKirr: % ::swerves towards the enemy reinforcements, charging weapons to full::
VAdm Sankoh: % +Phantoms+ Prepare to flank when they arrive.
Lieutenant FJ: %::moves to intercept incoming, reinforcing forward shields::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::caps another Romulan that peeks out from beyond a cargo container::
MajorAZinthys: $+Drake+ Echo Squad, find him now!
Lt TKirr: % ::formates with Phantoms::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::taps his beacon:: +Zinthys+ I can't locate his lifesigns, I'm telling you! He's either hidden, or he's not here!
VAdm Sankoh: % ::rolls to the side and attacks the incoming group of four::
Lieutenant FJ: %::falls into formation...::
MajorAZinthys: $::Hurries out past the melee and moves through the corridors with Alpha Squad::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::watches his team roll a plasma explosive down into a throng of entrenched Romulans, blowing them all to smithereens:: That had to hurt.
MajorAZinthys: $+Drake+ If he's not here, we're all dead, so we've gotta find him.
Lt TKirr: % ::sets fire to full spread, dodging fire from a distance::
MCptAdamDrake: $ +Zinthys+ Aye.
Lieutenant FJ: %::follows in suit letting a heap of phaser fire go at one of the Romulan ships::
MCptAdamDrake: $ Let's move! ::rounds a corner and takes out some more Romulans::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::slams his craft forward and draws out two of the fighters::
Lt TKirr: % ::reinforces shields and enters bandit swarm::
MajorAZinthys: $+Alpha+ Find a way down into a basement of some sort.
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::continues looking at his beacon:: If you see him on sensors, feel free to let me know!
Lieutenant FJ: %::cuts left drawing one of the bandits in persuit::
Lt TKirr: % ::pushes her speed to maxium and chases a bandit::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::slams his rifle into a door panel and walks in:: Nothing!
VAdm Sankoh: % ::rolls in behind a fighter and gets a few shots off before he's forced to break off because of fire from the other::
MajorAZinthys: $::Races around to a perimeter corridor and hears a cry of triumph go up::
MajorAZinthys: $::Hurries over::
Lt TKirr: % ::destroys bandit in a flurry of fire, then slows and pivots as a bandit begins pounding on her aft shields::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::moves down the corridor, the light from his rifle illuminating what's up ahead:: Increased power to sensors, if you see an energy field, then we'll need to deactivate it.
Lieutenant FJ: %:: swing up behind the bandit and locks on Phasers, shooting it out of the sky::
Lt TKirr: % +Phantoms+ Sehlat, bandit on my tail!
MajorAZinthys: $Good Marine> I've found something! It looks like a way down.
VAdm Sankoh: % ::comes back about and finishes that one off just in time to take fire from the other::
Lt TKirr: % ::swerves around::
VAdm Sankoh: % +Sehlet+ On my way!
MajorAZinthys: $Well, open it up!
Lieutenant FJ: %::moves to intercept the bandit::
MajorAZinthys: $GM> I can't. IT's locked somehow.
MCptAdamDrake: $ Jeddin> Captain, I've got an energy field of unknown origin about 500 meters from our current location. Zinthys is on his way in, with Alpha Squad.
VAdm Sankoh: % ::Breaks off from his target and goes after T'Kirr's::
Lt TKirr: % ::evades, throwing shields to aft::
MajorAZinthys: $+Drake+ Echo Squad! Report to sector 005 now.
Lt TKirr: % ::mumbles:: He does NOT like me... must smell my blood...
MCptAdamDrake: $ +Zinthys+ Drake to Zinthys, my squad is on our way to your location, an energy field is located just beyond that door!
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::sprints down the hallway which is devoid of all Romulan activities::
Lieutenant FJ: %::sees the Sehlat approaching quickly from the front:: hmm tricky shot
Lt TKirr: % ::takes a particularly direct hit, sparks flying about her cockpit::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::gets behind the one on T'Kirr's tail and lets him have it::
MajorAZinthys: $::Gets onto the floor and starts playing with the lock circutry::
MajorAZinthys: $::Closes his eyes in concentration::
Lieutenant FJ: %::as 8-ball hits him from behind, fires hitting the bandit in the front for good measure::
Lt TKirr: % ::struggles to maneuver as her engines slow, out of power to divert::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::Sees Zinthys:: We're here, Major.
MajorAZinthys: $::The electronic lock sparks and the door opens down::
MajorAZinthys: $::Stands and cracks his neck:: Let's do this.
MCptAdamDrake: $ And now, for the energy field.
Lieutenant FJ: %::moves power arround to keep shields a max::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::watches the bandit fly apart::
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::Fiddles with a device and tosses the circular object down below:: Wait for a second.
MajorAZinthys: $::Covers Echo Squad::
Lt TKirr: % +Phantoms+ Thank-you, Phantoms.
MajorAZinthys: $hurry it up. We're running out of time, Drake.
VAdm Sankoh: % +Phantoms+ Anytime, now get that last bandit.
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::watches a flash of light go up and watches the energy dissipate out of existence:: Done, we're a go!
Lieutenant FJ: %+Phantoms+ good shot... how many left? my sensors arent co-operating
MajorAZinthys: $Alpha Squad, you're in first
Lt TKirr: % ::moves about to flank FJ while she charges::
VAdm Sankoh: % +Phantoms+ I see one.
MajorAZinthys: $::Good Marine leads a few down first::
Lieutenant FJ: %::provides the Sehlat with some much needed cover from enemy fire::
MCptAdamDrake: $ Cover them, Echo squad. Eyes alive!
MCptAdamDrake: $ ::leans against the door covering::
MajorAZinthys: $::Calls out a few members of Alpha to stay and guard::
MajorAZinthys: $Echo, you're with me.
MajorAZinthys: $::Climbs down the ladder::

MCptAdamDrake: $ Nothing a plasma detonator wouldn't take care of Zinthys! ::slams a Romulan with the butt of his rifle again::
Lt TKirr: % +Phantoms+ I can't take any more chasers.
Lieutenant FJ: %+Phantoms+ I have Visual. :::works on phaser lock::
VAdm Sankoh: % +Sehlat+ Be careful.
Lt TKirr: % +Phantoms+ Understood.

Lieutenant FJ: %well, one piece relatively...
VAdm Sankoh: % Yeah, I look like crap, but you should see the other guy.
Lt TKirr: % +Sickbay+ T'Kirr to Sickbay, medical team to Fighter Bay.
VAdm Sankoh: % They're greasy spots on the Atlantis's shields.
VAdm Sankoh: % +Sickbay+ Belay that order.
Lt TKirr: % ::looks at Sankoh::
Lt TKirr: % Are you all right, Admiral?
VAdm Sankoh: % The morale of the story is that any landing you can walk away from is a good one. And I'm walking away from this on my own.
Lieutenant FJ: %::looks at the ships:: we took some serious fire
Lt TKirr: % ::nods hesitantly:: Yes, sir.
Lt TKirr: % ::turns to observe their ships::
VAdm Sankoh: % ::surveys the ships:: Yes, we certainly did. But we shot down eight fighters.
