Episode 1: Casualties Of War

[Jade Mandelo]

"I need you ship in sector 18 when your ready Captain" I add.

[Alex Roddenberry]

"Yes Ma'am." I said then turned to the bridge officer next to my bed. "Go send our Marines to the Planet. I'll be on the bridge ASAP." I said glaring at the doctor as i said 'ASAP'

[Nickolas Seafort]

OOC: lame, i post a massive awesome post and yall are pulling one liners... *sticks tongue out* you guys suck *pouts* lol j/k you dont suck... but still.. come on. one liners??? yall are better then that.

IC:
Leaning on my chair i watch the Red gaurd circle me. "Well boys, i don't have all day to die. So lets dance" Unexpectedly i flip the gravity switch and kick off. Sending me hurtleing into a confused Red gaurd feet first into his chest. Reloading my side arm in one smooth motion I put 6 rounds in its head and leep into another, repeating the attack. Before slinging myself into a perch atop a fallen beam as the other gaurds finaly recover in the conors of the room. Ditching the side arm i Draw my P-113s and say "Whos next?"

[Jade Mandelo]

OOC: Hey I did some good posts before those were just talking ones.
IC:

I look on as the Enterprise moves into postion and I see its drop ships move off.
"Alright, time to take out the trash. Ready main cannon and all bow to port turrets. Enterprise take port, we will take starboard. Fire on my command."
The ship moves forward surrounding an enemy carrier ship.
"And...Fire."
We move over and fire is exchanged. Pieces of hull flying off them as each of our blows hit."

[Phillip Cloudrider]

Turns to Captain Roddenberry with a quick nod. "Aye sir. There as good as there." Heads toward the doors leaving sick bay and to the transport tube to the bridge.

((OOC. Sorry for the short reply and taking so long. I got my car fixed after 3 months of not having it so I did a little joy ridding last night after work.))

[Kyle Read]

I stand and look up at Samuels.
"Thankyou Samuels. Keep on your toes people."
As if on cue they tunred seeing sixteen 400 type assault units heading towards us.
"Backup at our postion" I calls into my wrist "all right boys lets go!"
I jump up and take out my pistols, firing two blue shots that hit on target on two heads, coming down with a spinning kick on the third. The third then attemps to stand as another appears to be alerting others to our postion. I take out my dagger and with one quick slice remove its head.
"This party is going to get real busy soon!" I call out launching forward at another.
As I fire it dead I look up and gasp.
A command unit and twenty more assault units "what I tell ya."

[Pierce Samuels]

"Commander!" I call, noticing that the units were begining to surround us.
"There flanking us sir!" I yell as I hit the ground in a prone position, firing my MP5-A25 into the approaching Cybers from the rear.
The men were inevitably surrounded, and forced to drop there weapons.

"Basterd Cybers!"

I yell, as one binds my hands. We are all forced to our knees infront of the leading Cyber of this ground campaign, and he begins interrogating us in his monotone electric voice.

"You humans are so pathetic! I am still ashamed to have been created by such flawed beings."
he puts a saw at the base of my neck.
"I will enjoy killing each of you personally one-by-one." just as he goes to turn the saw on, a series of fights fly above shooting right on our position.

TAG: Fighters.

The metal plating beneath my hoofs rumbled as the cabin, and furthermore the entire ship tore through the atmosphere. My mind could not wander on such thoughts as the mass of metal aiming towards soil plummeted faster and faster as gravity tugged it down for i was rather systematically recalling each particular combat lesson burned into my memory. I subconsciously slid a cloth about the metaloid staff in my grasp, the fabric eventually brought along the intricate weaponry at it's tip, cutting a wickèdly painful yet shallow wound that tore me from my thoughts.

The pain was nearly unfelt afterwards, and my eyes were brought up to the men before me, their mortal blood and flesh iron-like grasp to the weapons clenching and unclenching casually. I noted this latter in my mind as arguable, dispensing several seconds on the idea of the men's veteran status or their simple ignorance of life's possible end within the following minutes, hours, days. The impact shattered my most recent thoughts, and as the gate slid open and down to create rampway out, the distinct sound of ships racing through the skies were heard.

"Gruk ruk!" echoed the curse through my mind several times and once past my lips softly as the idea of being discovered prematurely raced through me. As the whistle of their flight faded away into the further distance, the impact of ship munition bombarded reached his ears, causing my body to jolt upright and nearly send me back as a sharp pain cut along the backside of the muscles to my legs. A growl muttered past my lips and I forced myself to remain upright, for I could not show any sign of weakness amongst my men. I used a single arm to point my staff-weapon past the open door and into the beyond.

The figures beside me poured out after my step onto ground subsequent to my silent signal, and soon after so did the masses within the other ships. Before me stood the trained figures I had come to understand were willing to die for their cause, for my new cause and as the butt of my weapon dug into the terrain, my gaze would cross along the last rows of men falling into blocks of units before me. It would be a glorious to die, and be turned off for those who had not life to lose.

"Sir! Boarding craft have bypassed our defenses and are through to the hull." An officer called out.
I check the displays and see where the craft had attached themselves. ~Engineering, armory, main Bridge...MAIN BRIDGE~ i thought, ~The Captain!~.I knew i couldn't warn him. ~he better be able to fight them off, those repair droids i sent aren't going to be able to help him~. I sent marines to the boarding areas, and refocused on the space battle. I saw the Apollo pull in beside us. "Change direction, Bearing 48, elevation minus 20, and change synchronization to the Apollo." i ordered, sitting on the edge of my seat

[Nickolas Seafort]

As i sit perched one of the Red Gaurds says "This is madness human, submit to your fate and the probeing will be the extint of your pain." Looking at them I reply "Madness?? No... THIS IS MAN'S WILL!" Spining in zero G and kicking off I sight in on one of the six as they all kick off. Pulling the triger and letting off a 10 round burst i watch its head be torn apart in slow motion, its head fragments and explodes, a black liquid pouring out and into the air...

Looking away from that one i pivate and land on another fallen beam, kicking off i fire another 10 round burst, this time into one far closer to me. The black liquid that is cyber blood splaters over me as i fly past its twitching body, bits of its helmet and head floating free. Turning again I see another perched where i was only a moment ago, drawing his plasma SMG. Fireing 20 rounds I watch as they fragment on his chest, but they throw him back. Leveling my right P-113 I emoty its last 10 rounds and watch as they tear his head to bits...

Breathing out for the first time i land and even as i pivate to kick off i feel a great kick to my chest, and a great burst of pain as I'm thrown backwards, and crash into a console. Bounceing off I throw my right P-113 away and switch to my left, now being weilded two handed. Fireing a burst i grin as the one who kicked me is thrown backwards head over heels. The other two however sail past as i pivate and grab a juting celling panel and use it to propel myself out of the way...

Fireing another cold burst I see my target die and move to face the last as he rushes me. Fireing a burst i watch it tear off his left arm, fireing again I watch as they bounce and fragment off his chest. Fireing my last burst I see his head knock back, but he throws his blade at me, its heated plasma cover glowing bright, and then i notice the mini rocket in the bottom propeling it. I scream as it tears into my left arm at the shoulder. I keep sailing backwards and watch as the blade gos all the way to the hilt. The the blade hits a fallen beam and actualy burns through it. To my dismay pining me to the beam...

[Alex Roddenberry]

"Blasted Doctor!" I said as I walked out of the health bay.
"I do not have time for your stupid ways to help me heal. I'll teak the damn scare thank you." And the door closed behind me. I limped to the transport shaft. And Directed it to bring me to the bridge. the gears slowly began to turn and lifted the transport pod to the very first deck of my ship.The sound of the turning gears was now a low hum. As fast as it started it ended. The bridge at last. The transport pod door opend and I grumbeld out.
"Ship status!" I demanded.
"our shields are failing. Our topedos are not as effective and some of our cannons have been destroyed.Also, our stram engines are offline. But we are still abule to destroy some of thos ships, via the aid of the Victory."
"Good, destroy the ship we are firing at presently then swich from offence mode to defence mode and send a messege to the Victory of our situation.

[Phillip Cloudrider]

I glance up from my tactical station as I give my report and receive orders. "Aye sir, Feeling better sir?" I ask with concern for my commanding officer. During the entire exchange though my eyes leave the board my hands never stop working the console.

[Kyle Read]

I launch forward as reinforcements finally arrive. The fighter bombers overhead destroying a few for us. 'thank you' I think and spin kick on of them dead. I take out my blade and begin a double slashing motion at another. I jump and fall to avoid his fire, dodging each blast before slicing my blade threw the but of his gun. I let out a crooked smile before throwing the other blade dead on target into his head. I walk up removing it, it now covered with the black liquid.
"You still with me Samuels?"

[Zieg]

The rolling rhytmn of hundreds of feet rapidly marching at increased pace gnawed through my mind, my own hoofs only kept moving forth by a will from the back of my mind, although the constant and overbearing pain of the mended yet not departed wound on the back of my legs constantly spiking flashes of torment through my body. As we managed to overpass an incline that rose to a small hill in the landscape, I could see into the somewhat distance what remainders there were of slightly over a dozen robotical figured idle to the ground and within their perimeter several living, and some dead, humanoids.

I motioned for a halt with a raise of my open palm, the steady stream of soldiders behind me coming to a stop progressively until only far-off noise was heard else than our own breaths. I rapidly darted my eyes about and around the scenery before me, rapidly attempting to recreate the past scenes. After I understood the general set of events, my eyes would come to narrow upon a moving block of less-than-biological entities moving towards what remained our our side. From my approximation of the distance, I concluded maybe less than two minutes remained before conflict met, and judging by the status on both parties, we were at a disadvantage for initial casualties.

The numbers and formations of my men rolled through my mind and the logistics formed. I barely noticed as my orders strolled past my lips, "One platoon and Squad comes with me, have the other Companies go down and provide support for the other men down there. Go." I supressed a pained groan in my throat as I bound forward again, the men diverging at this point to leave me with but a minor fraction of our full force. I smirked at the odds, although we numbered maybe two or three to one on this enemy body, I understood they oft' surpassed human combat ability, therefor I knew taking precautions may decrease the casualties to come.

OOC : Please leave the enemy patrol core to me, I just didn't wish to make this post too long. >.>

[Kyle Read]

I look up and almost yell with relief seeing the Enterprise reinforcements. I slam my left blade, side back wards into a torso and watch the sparks flicker. It was good to see them. Over the hill they came and I noticed their commander. He was not human, he had hooves. Never before had I met this man and that meant he was new to his current assignment, his last post probably destroyed. But a alien in the earth division? He did however not look like any member of the Alliance. It was then that he had the choice and was here for his own reasons I would be eager to find out.
My trail of thought is cut off as a command unit grabs my shoulder with its five claw like ringers and pulls me back.
"Not you models again" I let out and launch full steam at him. Slicing my blades threw the exposed point of the neck. Its head falling and rolling.
