Welcome to Gaia! ::

Location : Near the Mission Zone
Time : 08:50 AM

The drop ships fired off it's auxiliary boosters to make up for speed as they need to be there like yesterday. As the modified cargo shuttle that got rigged to become a crude drops ships rocks hard.. as they could hear the bolts and other metals kind of making an unhealthy shaking sounds.

" Dude., is it going to be like that time ? " one of the mechanic ask his partner.

" No.. way ! cause this time I use brand new machine parts ! " one of the mechanic replied.

"Good cause.. we'll be sucking vacuums if something happen up here.. and I didn't wear the monkey suit anyway.. I am off from the hangar they're going to drop him soon anyway.."

The mechanics then moved away from the hangar bay of the small drop ship.

Then a bristle voice cracks up through the PA systems..

" Okay, get ready.. ! , make sure that you put your Space suit really well.. and get ready to be dropped ! we are nearing the drop zone.. from there you should go enroute to target via foot.. we can't afford to be spotted here.. "

The MS is already prepared to be drooped on the mission zone.As the automatic large hydraulics have attached to the MS delivering systems.The drop ships fly off near the target zone..

Then the ALARM sounded as the emergency lights turns on..

" We got incoming hostile missiles.. ! brace yourself.! "

The Drop ship makes a hard left turn as all that is not tied or bolted are spilling all over the hangar as the ships makes a emergency break left..while firing up it's flares and chaffs hoping that they could ward off the incoming missiles..

Sounds of explosions could be heard rapidly as successions of explosions could be heard.

" Man.. they really don't want us here.. " the pilot commented..

" Another series of barrages of missiles moving toward us ! brace yourself ! "

The drop ship then moved hard as it tries to move out the harm's way firing up those flares and chaffs once more hoping that they could blind and fool the missiles away from them..

" Damn it.. that is it.. we are dropping off you here.. the rest you have to walk ! "

The pilot of the drop ship then makes the necessary procedures as the ships hovers down nearing to a halt. As the hangar bay open and the heavy machineries cranking up and putting the MS on the moon's surface nice and smooth.With practiced ease the ship then slowly moves away from the MS and fly away.

" Good luck sonny boy ! "

The Map flickers on the on board computer as it shows where the shuttle that the UDF wanted to rescue it is far away.From the light readings via the standard scanners it shows a few blips ( 5) moving close to the crash site with an alarming speed.From the size of it consist of a couple of light vehicles as the blips is small.Then there is a several blips (10 )stationary near where the MS is drooped as it could be those Anti Air Missiles batteries firing up earlier.The questions is whether those AA barrage is trully for anti crafts or are they could still fire off at large ground target such as an MS ? Also if you deal with the those will you have time to rescue and guarded the crash sites ?The radar is a bit on the fritz. As the radar got garbled every now and then due to the strange electronic activities.as some time the scans shows a unconfirmed large blips (2 ).. moving toward the crashed shuttle site.

Distances :

To Crashed shuttle (1) : Very Far
To smalls moving blips (5) : Very Far
To smalls stationary blips (10) : Medium
To Large unknown moving blips (2) : Very Far.


OOC:

The MS got 5 action points.As you could spend it one for each of your activities.Moving will costs 1 action points as also it changes the distance from you and the target. Very Far , Far , Medium , Near , Very Near. so it will cost you about 1 action points to move to a target that is very far to change it's distance between you to far and so on. With Running you could change the distance of two levels with one action so in this case if you move toward a target that is very far with running you spend only 1 action point to change your distance to medium.But with the costs of everyone knows you're coming and probably is will fire on you.

Also in battle you only determine that you aimed your target and fire for example :

Aimed at the target with the machine guns and fires off a light burst.

You don't declare the hit as your stats Vs the enemy's stats and expertice will determine if you hit and how badly that you hit your target.Moving target and stationary target have different accuracy points as it is hard to fire as moving and also it is hard to fire to a moving target and especially hard to fire as running toward a target that is also moving.

If somehow your computer is destroyed or disabled due to various circumstances your action points will reduced 1. As you had to rely on manual systems.

The radar blips suddenly becomes clearer as Arlan moved closer toward the shuttle.The 2 radar blips that is moving toward the shuttle is couple of MS.From the look of things one of them at least equipped with Jamming capabilities, their armor looks like it have been modified, both are carrying light assault beam riffle with magazine modification.As they notice Arlan's MS.

One of the MS stop and took aim at Arlan's MS and fire off a single beam shot.While the other continuing to rushed into the shuttle's crash location.

Meanwhile the other light small vehicles also rushed toward the crash site and from the looks of thing they are going to be there in a few more minutes.

The rest of the 10 launchers fires off the rest of their salvos of missiles at Arlan's MS as the missile's isn't primed for anti MS their power is slightly weaker.


OOC:

Distances toward the shuttle

Light vehicles (5) , Medium
Bogey # 1 (Leo type MS) , Medium
Bogey # 2 (Leo type MS, Jammer) , Medium
Missile launchers (10) , Far.

ooc :

Err on that second attack who do you fire at as you're running there ?

Arlan fires off the round as he managed to hit the Jammer MS on the mid torso and arm with his first 10 burst of rounds but as he run and fire the bullets missed Jammer MS completely.

The first other bogey MS stop and crouched down and fires a single well aimed shot directed at Arlan's MS.

The small vehicles also kept on pushing on through as they speed up their efforts.

meanwhile the pilots and the crew of the crashed shuttle then decide to make a break for it as they abandoned the shuttle and runs toward the nearest craters in the moon for cover.

The Missiles landed near Arlan's MS left and right as he was running he missed most of the missiles but one missiles hits Arlan's MS on the torso. As the Missiles were designed for air to air craft it leaves only a very light damage.

And the Missile launchers reloads their missiles once more.

OOC :

Hmm , well if you really must know it take account for your perception , your MS bonus or weapon bonus whichever is the highest if you have any , the distance , your current position (moving or staying still, crouching , or prone) Vs Enemy piloting skills ( as in evade ) , enemy's position ( moving , or staying still , crouching , or prone ) , cover if the enemy have any.For the detailed math I can't give it to you cause it is GM secret stuff.

BIC :

The Laser from the MS miss arlan as Arlan sprinted toward the Jammer MS.Arlan fires off 5 more burst as he got closer hitting the torso but didn't hit the fuel line cause the armor is still thick even despite the blasts from arlan's weapon.The jammer MS notice that he was very close and weapon is of no use at this point and range as he then take out his energy saber.The Jammer MS slashed at arlan aimed at his upper right neck diagonaly wanting to slice the MS in half diagonally with the power light saber.

Meanwhile the other MS spots that the jammer MS is in trouble as he takes his time to aim at Arlan's MS and fire off a single well aimed shot aimed at the middle torso at the MS.

The Missile launchers still loading up with the missiles as the had a lot to reload.

The small convoy of vehicles reached the crashed site as personnel began to scour the crash site looking for the survivor of the shuttle crash hoping.

Summary :

Jammer MS :
Status : Light damage on torso and on right arm.

Other MS :
Status : Unscathed.

Arlan's MS :
Status : Light Damage on torso

Convoy Vehicles. (5 action points to spend )

(1)~(5) Other , Search for survivor on the crash site

Survivor of the crashed shuttle ( 5 action points )
(1)~(5) Other , Hiding from capture.

OOC :

That is a sample on how to post your action firstly you post it in the text form then at the end you summarizes your actions like that to make it clear for me if you have any reserve action points for dodging / defense.If you don't assign any to dodging or defense then I would assume you just standing there like a sitting duck.

OOC: I wish you would have told me this before. besides its kinda hard for an MS to go prone. it would take them a long time to get up too.

Actions:
(1) other, pulls out beam saber
(2) attacks, swinging in an overhead motion to go straight down on the enemy radar jammer.
(3) evade/defense.


Arlan backs off as the enemy used a beam saber in an attempt to cleave his MS. He switched to his beam saber and surged forward with a overhead attack aimed at the center of the enemy radar jamming MS.

OOC: Is that better?

The Jammer MS took a swing at arlan's MS but as he step back he misses him completely then in reaction shot as arlan swing from top to bottom with his light saber he moves to the right. He was fast but not fast enough as Arlan saber cleave his MS left arm clean off.. as the arm falls to the ground.Right after Arlan manage to sever the MS arm off the other MS already fired his round and hit Arlan dead Center on his torso sending his MS a couple of meters back from the Jammer MS.The Jammer MS recover as he still have his light saber on his right MS hand. And lunged to attack Arlan.

The other MS was going to fire again at arlan but because the Jammer MS lunged toward him he was forcefully just have to watch till the duel is over at least till the Jammer MS put out some distance as he can't get a clear shot.

The enemy tries to locate the survivors from the crashed shuttle but they are not able to find them.. as they hid themselves really well.. but who knows for how long.

The jammer MS appeared to have lost it's patience and all right charging it like that which is the pilot's final mistake as Arlan cleaves horizontally slicing off the MS in half and thus killing the pilot as the MS exploded and tiny bits of metal showered the lunar surface.

The other one that is keeping it's distance then directed his riffle at Arlan once more as the pilot took quite a time as the pilot enjoyed the show earlier on.The pilot appear to be a cool headed one compared to the one Jammer MS pilot.

Took quite a bit of time as the pilot steadies his riffle and fire off a single shot aimed directly at the MS center body mass or the cockpit. The enemy pilot is surely cruel and devious like the devil himself.

While the launcher crew finally got their missiles ready as they only could fire more salvo due to their limited ammunition. Taking quite some time as they adjust to re-acquire Arlan's MS and fire off 10 x Surface to Air missiles at Arlan's MS.

The Survivor of the shuttle is now fighting the would be captor as small fire fight could be seen from a far. For the moment the survivor is quite safe but they will run out of ammo soon.
