Starscream, Stone, Genius, and Ares have been chose for Recon duty tonight. Let me know which mecha you're all going out in, where you're going, and how long you plan to recon, and we'll get this show on the road.

I'm not sure what the major has in mind for this patrol, but here is my reasoning:

((At first I thought Bones could provide air support, but I'd rather have cyber on the ground in something capable of serious punishment should we need it.
Mark is the only one of us that was smart enough to request a recon cyclone, so he's rewarded here with recon duty.
I will be in my 041 cyclone, itching for HTH. I imagine the major will also be in an 041.

I think the plan would be for the cyclones to stay out in front doing whatever it is the Major want accomplished, with cyber tailing at a distance and ready to bust some heads should we need it.

We'll wait on Al to confirm that though, he may have something else in mind.))

"The recon team assignments remain unchanged. Stone, be sure you bring some serious explosives. Something capable of crippling (if not out right crumbling) what is left of Integrity. Looks like those sapper skills of yours are going to be tested."

((Al, I still think that cyber should be in his battloid. But maybe I should take the 057 cyclone instead of the 041. Thoughts?))

((I thought about it, and while the idea certainly has merit we'll be on recon which means we have to be quiet and stealthy. Walking through dense forest with a mecha that's 30ft tall and weighs 21 tons isn't the best idea I feel. Best thing to do with that situation would be to have two guys pack the Battler Cyclone suit. Welkin used the light recon one (031) then there's whatever you wear. So if you use a Battler and so does Stone, that gives us some extra oomph.))

With the group assembled, the recon force quickly travels the fifteen miles towards the Integrity. Upon arrival, it appears that the Invid have taken what they needed and have vacated the premises. Or at least that's how it is reading from a safe distance of tree coverage.

It's strange, there are far less insects and random animals in this world than you'd expect. Of course, that could just have something to do with the Invid's presence in the area. Or whatever's leading from the capital ship that's merged with the surface of the planet.

Oh sorry, what now, Ares?

The Bridge is en route to the Engine Area, by the by. As such, the four of you could travel together up to that point, unless you intentionally want to split and head for separate levels (the bridge will be on a higher level of the ship, while the engine area is accessible from multiple levels) to cover more ground and get more general exploring in.

Stone, but damn you are loud.

Okay, I'm staying in prowl, and Stone, just do your best. I guess.

Thankfully you all know how to move in one of these vessels, you've all spent time on capital ships before. Even if you are moving in a completely different way through them.

Now, one thing that was potentially going to be a problem was opening doorways and lifts in a powered down environment. However, what you're finding as you move through the ship is that most of the doorways have been opened already -- and there's some serious claw marks on many of the doors.

The floors and ceilings of the ship are a mess, with random splatters of blood all over the place. The crew, what little of it survived the accident that brought them here, seems not to have fared well against the Invid...or perhaps, against the natives? Those claw marks were definitely not the type a Scout or Shock Trooper would leave.

Stone, Starscream, between the two of you, as you move through the ship you notice gaping holes in the superstructure. Those definitely look like the work of Shock Troopers. Also, the blood around those holes looks fresh, very fresh.

I'll hold off on updating Genius and Ares until Genius has had time to give me his planned actions...he's a bit more tech savvy than, well, the other three of you put together, after all.

Stone, Starscream, are you just moving towards the Engine area as fast as possible, or are you stopping to search as you go?

I'd say we are searching as we go, looking for salvagable materials, intelligence, munitions, survivors (yeah right) or at least remains, or whatever passes for Dog Tags in the Robotech-verse

((only salvagables I'd be interested in are easy to carry utilities and things that go boom!))

I tap Starscream on the shoulder signaling to him that we are being tailed.

Still communicating in military sign, I offer a bait and trap maneuver, with me being bait

Sending Telepathic message to Stone:

"Go on ahead."

"I've got your back."

*At that point I am going to try to find a place to lay in wait and see if I can get in behind whatever might be following us. Or at the very least see if anything is following us or if its just in our heads.*

In case I am unable to post for awhile:
((Either way I think its a smart idea for me to tail cyber (credit to him) and use him as the bait for any ambush, but my character will likely get too nervous with that kind of plan as he hates putting others in harms way. So keep that in mind as you consider out reactions Marrow. At first sign of real danger, Starscream will try and draw the fire and make himself the focus of the attack.

If I do discover something, I will immediatly alert Stone via telepathy.))

since Jester's on limited time, I'm just going to go ahead and get right to it.

Stone will have traveled up through about two rooms, and thanks to years of training, Starscream is able to properly conceal himself without making too much of a ruckus.

And then he sees what was following them, and is still following Stone. Odds are, Starscream will wish he'd left his Cyclone's recorders on however, as he knows without a doubt he's just seen the future of the conflict with the Invid. It's got to be Invid, the basic styles of the armor screams Invid. But instead of a lightly armored speedy Scout or a large and cumbersome walking tank like the Shock Trooper this is a heavily armored, yet very agile and crafty, human sized Invid with flexible arms and legs that seem to carry as much range of motion as any human. The Invid, all in red and black, is almost silently leaping from structure to structure as it scales its way after Stone.

Just before it goes out of Starscream's sight it stops, and Starscream's Mind Block feels the slightest test of psychic power. Is that thing sensing psionic energy, like other Invid track Protoculture???

But then the testing stops, the Invid shakes its head, and upward it continues to climb.

Seconds later, two more appear from below, identical looking to the first, moving just as quietly.

As soon as the psychic testing stops, I signal stone to get ready for company. It's a risk, but in a second it won't matter anyway.

"Stone! Trouble!"

Then it's time to exit cover and lay into the rear most Invid. Hopefully a sneak attack, and an aimed burst with the HRG-70 to the main body.

((Let's see how much they can take.))

Staying back, taking cover should they respond with fire, so as to try and draw them back to me, and allow Stone to attempt the same attack from the other end.

recieving Starscreams mental warning, I drop from my position into the room below, hoping to plunge under the Invid's position and light it up with my main weapon, on it's (hopefully) less armored undercarriage.
((again, I don't have a book with me and I haven't posted up my mecha yet, so I don't know what weapons it comes with, so just assume my main weapon, most damaging burst it can muster. And I'll be sure to get it posted tonight))

oh, and I radio Ares during the plummet.

"Sir, we have Invid contact!"

I'll again try to move down a level to hopefully sync up with Starscream and concentrate fire on the first one he attacked. If my way is blocked, I will instead fire another burst, trying to keep them on the defenesive whilst moving for whatever cover may be had.
