Turn 14 Hell hath no Fury Like a Woman Scorned

After just a little bit of lifting Winter was now on the stretcher.

Morse heard Erik, he had heard him earlier but Winter seemed to be in a more dire need of assistance. So, as much as Morse didnt wanna have to ditch winter, he'd have to just for a second.

Ward, hang here with Winter for a second, keep him awake and talkin, im gonna check on the others

<tag Ward

Morse spead over to Erik, and took out another cantine

This is gonna burn like hell for a second

He then proceeded to pour the water slowly onto Erik's legs. He just had acid burn just like the rest of em. Except his were a bit worse then the others. After stopping the acid Morse injected Erik with morphine. And said

You'll be fine, and sorry but im all out a the stickers that say how big of a boy you are Morse said

<tag Erik

He heard Tyler talking slowly, and asked
Tyler, you ok, you sound a bit messed up, want me to take a look at ya

<tag Tyler

"Yeah I'm.... I'm alright. Just sh....shaken up is all. I don't..... mean to be a pain or anything but..... but I really could use some ammo. Almost all out. Anyone?"

Corporal Dwayne C. Hicks wrote:At Ishizawa's remark he looked to the body. "Tyler, hook him up to my combat webbing, on my back.. I'm no good with my busted arm anyways."

"Ok. I'm on it". By now, he was starting to recover form his state of shock, and it was getting easier to talk. Tyler slung the pulse rifle and walked over to Dirk's body. He knelt down and picked the body up, putting it over his shoulder.

Walking back to Eric, he secured Dirk's body to the combat webbing on Eric's back.

"He's secured. Good to go".

Ward walked over to Winter as ordered and crouched down next to him, grinning. He had a few things to get him talking.

"So, how ya doin' buddy? Wanna sing some camp songs?" Ward said, chuckling at the man.

Ward turned around for a split second after hearing Morse and Tyler and decided to say something.

"Yo, Tyler... go easy. You got a job to do, man. Don't let us newbies down. Dirk went down, but he went down fighting. The way every Marine would want to go down. You can mourn his death or be shocked later. Right now, we need you as a well oiled machine."

Ward was shocked at what he said. He actually sounded like a more seasoned Marine than an inexperienced FNG. It must have been the 'natural born leader' that people said he had inside him. Whatever it was, he hoped it work to lift the man's spirits up.

"Roberts... you don't sound so convinced. We need ya too, man. Same goes for you. Especially since you got more stripes than us. Dirk may be down, but that doesn't mean we cannot pick up the pieces of this battle and get the hell outta here. To mourn his loss before we escape and risk death would be only making his death a vain one!"

Ward finally turned to the El-Tee. He really wanted to get out of here.

"No offense, El-Tee, but can we get the hell outta here. Before those things come back!" Ward said, emphasizing his haste.

After hearing Tyler he said

Morse heard Ward's request to El-Tee

"So now Sam is royalty? Damn you, Winter!" Ward said, obviously joking.

Even in bad situations, he seemed to have the uncanny ability to lighten moods and raise morale.

Morse · Post by **Morse** » Sat May 10, 2008 4:31 am

Dont worry Ward, the second you get fucked up, you'll be royalty too

Morse said after laughin at Ward's last comment

The pain was beginning to pulse through the morphine, but Sam still had a bit of piss and vinegar (and bad humor!) left in him. Looking up at Ward he said "Royalty? More like royally fucked." Then he grimaced, that joke was bad.

Simovic had banadged himself using his med kit while the Medics had performed triage on the more seriously injured. Still quite reticent to use morphine after his previous problems he finally gave into the pain and stuck the Administer into his thigh, the drug rushed into his bloodstream bringing instant relief.

[Roll First Aid]

Simoivc clicked open the platoon comms channel his voice slightly cracking he said "OK Marines we need to pick up the pace and retreat, the Xeno's will no doubt be re-grouping before they attack again. I've planted some explosives and as soon as we're clear of this area I'll detonate them to hopefuilly slow them down. Jonnson you lead Second Squad. Keep falling back using the same formation Morrison instructed. 3rd Squad has the numbers, so cover the retreat of the other two squads. 1st will dropback 10 feet and 2nd 20 feet when they are in position 3rd retreat back 30 feet and so on till we reach the dropship".

(O.O.C just thought I'd let you know the more time we hang around the more chance we get of them attacking again. Combat works on rounds so every thing your character perfoms in a combat situtation counts as your action in that round).

Ward nodded to Simovic, then turned and grabbed the other end of the stretcher.

"Your limo is ready, your majesty!" Ward said, grinning at Winter.

Ward could not help but crack a few jokes to keep everyone's spirits up... and to keep their mind off the death of Dirk. They needed to be motivated and a little humor never hurt to lighten up a terrible mood. Ward heaved as he held his end up in the air. Sam was definitely heavy, even for someone as strong as he had become.

(roll strength)

"Ward in answer to your previous question we've all been in the same boat, command don't like giving out info unless they have too. I've no clue why you men weren't briefed before your deployment, unless they thought the likelyhood was that you wouldn't be going into the station. All we know is that these things are extremely fast, have acid for blood and try to take people rather than kill them, we're not to sure what happens to them after that..... but put it this way the result don't look to pretty".

Petrova had fired his smartgun at the gigantic bug thing, before it took a bite out of some marine's head. He was in a state of shock. When the acid flew, it had hit his lunch sack. Not that he'll be needing it. Petrova stood right next to Ward and said, "I'll give you guys cover"

Erik looked at Morse and said "Im a big boy now!". After that he got up and walked over to Winter's Limo. He turned around and went on a knee. He pointed his gun down the corridor to make sure no more of those.... things come back.

Jonsson noticed that Roberts had gone back to searching for his VP-70 pistol. He walked up to him, and held out Dirk's Colt M1911. "Here Eric, use this. And keep it together for a little longer, okay?"

Morse · Post by **Morse** » Sat May 10, 2008 3:53 pm

Morse now had a smile on his face, and patted Erik on the top of his helmet and said
Yes, you are a big boy, and dont worry i'll get you that sticker when we get outa here

<tag Erik

Morse then walked back over to strecher and grabbed the front end of it. And lifted it up

Lets keep him level and try not to go to fast Morse said tryin to turn his head back to face Ward
<tag Ward

Were ready to go when you are sir

Roberts took his old friend's gun, and looked at it for a second. "Yes." he said blankly and turned and joined the squad, as they were thankfully leaving.
