"Acknowledged Papa Bravo. Will hold the tower.""Hold the tower Yankee One Zero. We've got two people down and hostile forces inside the HQ. The dropship's coming in on our position, I expect to clear the HQ shortly after. We'll co-ordinate regrouping once the HQs secure."
The combined two squads, First and Recon, were securing most of the tower and so were making a fair bit of noise but Nick could still hear the motion tracker blip over the top of the noise and knew that wasn't a good sign.
"Blackhawk what have we got on the motion tracker? Where are they coming from and how many of them are there?" asked Nick as he brought up his rifle, loaded with regular ammo, to cover the entry into the tower.
"Good idea Eagle, but I don't think we've got enough time for that. Get up on the roof and get me some eyes on whats coming. We need to know what we're facing," he replied to L Cpl Eagle as the marine started his ascent.Turning to the Sarge, "Sarge, I think it looks like we need to secure the perimeter, and if we have time I would suggest we get out there and drag up some logs or something and make a barricade."
Nick turned his attention back to the main entry to the tower and went down to a kneeling position with his rifle aimed at the door. Nothing was coming through there without him introducing it to some high velocity plasma.
