Re: Turn 9: 2nd/3rd Squads

Darren stood clear as the two NCO's grappled with Carlson. He extracted a sedative shot in a pen-type rapid applicator from his medi-pack and waiting for his chance to step in and administer it. In a few seconds they had the struggling marine restrained and Darren grabbed his opportunity. He popped ...

Re: Turn 8: 2nd/3rd Squads

"Kelly check Dwight out, he's having issues." Darren hustled over to where Carlson was crouching on the floor with Sgt Hall and looked him over. The smartgunner was clearly in a bad way. His face was pale and sweat slick and his breathing was ragged, on the edge of hyperventilation. Darren helped h...

Re: Turn 7: Linking Up

"Tenks and nice shootin'." Darren flashed the Sgt a grin and a nod of acknowledgement as he holstered the pistol and re-donned his helmet. He slapped a fresh magazine into his M-41A. No sense messing about with loose rounds in a combat zone. The ammo counter lit up with a reassuring '95' in red LED...

Re: Turn 6 - 2nd/3rd Squads

The charging man filled Darren's sights and showed no signs of stopping. The young marine squeezed the trigger and cursed as he was rewarded with the dry click of the M-41's electrical firing mechanism failing to ignite the propellant charge of the 10mm caseless round. Darren cursed again as the cha...

Re: Turn 6 - 2nd/3rd Squads

As the water drained from the chamber, Darren popped the seal on his helmet and raised his visor, taking a first whiff of the stale canned air being pumped into the airlock by the atmosphere recyclers. Behind him, the rest of 2nd and 3rd squads were spilling out of the mini-subs and prepping gear. D...

Re: Turn 5: The Seabed

Darren's boots caused little clouds of sand to puff up at each step and swirl around his ankles as he bounced along ahead of the mini-subs, doing his best impression of one of the NASA astronauts walking on the moon for the first time. The lights mounted on his helmet and shoulders illuminated the o...

Re: Turn 4: Suit Up

Darren headed through the tight confines of the sub towards the bow of the sub with the rest of 3rd squad. The corridors were tight and they had to squeeze to the side to allow navy personnel to pass in the opposite direction. As they reached the hatchway to the Docking bay, a female navy rating, of...

Re: Turn 3: The Tour

"How they doin' Doc? They decide to stop holding hands while ice skating over a gangplank? If they wanted more shore leave I don't think they had to gulp a gallon of seawater to get it. Need any help?" Darren was glad to see see his fellow medic push his way through the pack ready to pitch in. He g...

Re: Nehalennia and the Mac tires

The keel of a ship is the ridge of metal that runs the length of the underside in the center. Internally it functions as the vessels spine, with the hull ribs attaching to it at intervals along the length of the ship. Externally it stabilizes the ship against roll caused by heavy seas. As most subma...

Re: Turn 3: The Tour

As the platoon descended into the sub, Darren realized that this was the same model on which He'd completed his HARDsuit certification. He didn't need a guided tour. While most of the platoon headed off to gawp at the torpedoes and min-subs, Darren steered the bleeding and dazed Dmitri Barayev and t...

Re: Turn 2: The Nehalennia

Kelly's boots clanged on the steel of the sub's hull as he stepped aboard from the patrol boat with the rest of the gaggle of marines. Strange to be back in action so quickly, yesterday he had been propping up a beach-side bar, wearing one of the loud pseudo-hawaiian shirts that all the locals seeme...

Re: Final Turn: Revelations

The corridor stretched away from Kelly with a multitude of doors opening to left and right. Kelly knelt in the cover of a doorframe to the left of the corridor and trained his M41 down the hallway, ready for a possible attacker. Behind him, he heard the thunder of the sentry guns opening up on somet...

Re: Turn 9: Mistakes

Kelly sprinted towards the little knot f marines gathered around the casualty, sliding to a halt on his knee's, just a pace behind Davros who already has his Field Kit open and was calling out instructions. "...I need to check the back to see it the bullets went through. Doc watch the neck and head ...

Re: Turn 7 - Preparations

Kelly came into the hall with the rest of first squad in time for the aftermath of the hostage situation. Marines were running everywhere, securing the perimeter and setting up a temporary base camp. SgtMaj Sykes was doing his best to clean merc brains off the unfortunate kid. Kelly hustled over, no...
