Captain Andy Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Travis considered going back into the bathroom to contact One and ask if he had any advice on the situation. He shrugged to himself and turned to Knocko. "If I had a plan, I would've mentioned it by now. Maybe we could try and convince the guards guarding the main computer that their shift is over? Damn I wish I would've downloaded those guard patrol times." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampede Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 "Hmmm...yeah...that might work....or not. Might take a lot of convincing...oh! Wait! I got it! Keep your uniform on... I'll pretend you are my hostage...might put you at risk though...what do you think? When we get close to them...well, we pull our guns on them...I don't want to think what will happen if they don't back down, but I ain't dying here!" Knocko was talking fast, his adrenaline surging. It was now or never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Andy Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 "Keep my uniform on? Don't you mean take it off? Well... whatever you say man. Seems like a pretty quick plan, be we don't have to time to deal with it. Let's go ahead and go with it. How are we gonna start this off?" Travis started breathing slowly, trying to keep himself a little calmer. This whole thing was wracking his nerves. He swallowed nervously, hoping he didn't get hurt too badly.

Stampede Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 "No brother...I meant keep your uniform on. Think about it! If you were just some stranger, they'd probably waste us both in a second...no matter if you were my shield or not. I'm hoping if they see the uniform they might hesitate....keep your helmet on too..." OOC: The following would be done if Andy has no objections. Knocko positions Travis in front of him and begins frogmarching him towards the guards, his shottie pointed at a threatening position...as soon as he is able to, Knocko will yell at the guards to drop their guns and kick them over to him...then he will risk stealing a backwards glance.

PurpleXVI Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Not paying much attention to people who wore the same uniforms, the two guards didn't notice Knocko and Travis until they were only ten meters from them. As they were challenged, they both tensed for a second, trying to decide what to do. One of them dropped his rifle on the floor, but the other didn't. Instead he whipped up his rifle, quickly took aim, and fired at Knocko's head. Thankfully he didn't have much time to aim, so rather than covering the nearby architecture in the large man's brains, the bullets clattered against the walls. That was when all hell broke loose. A patrol entered the hall just as the firing started, they hadn't heard Knocko's challenge, but they certainly saw the gunfire. To them it looked like one of their comrades had gone insane and was firing on their friends. So they, too, drew their weapons and fired. A stray bullet slammed into the guard who had surrendered, making him cry out in pain, he fell to the floor, whimpering and clutching his stomach, his blood swiftly pouring out and pooling. No one's first reaction was to ask questions. Noticing that he was suddenly outnumbered by what appeared to be FOUR traitors, and being near no cover at all, the surviving guard quickly punched the door opening button, liberally sprayed the rest of his magazine across the room, forcing everyone to hit the deck or get shot in the head, and ducked into the computer room. Once inside he closed the door again before everyone could get to their feet. For a breathless moment, everyone laid still, wondering if it was safe to move, yet. Then time seemed to move again, the wounded man yelled for help, one of the two men in the patrol called for a medic, then went to check on Knocko and Travis, wanting to ensure that they were alright. The other was busy trying to explain the situation to their commanding officer and requesting that they be sent reinforcements to deal with the renegade.

Captain Andy Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Travis nodded to confirm his was okay. "Just a little shaken is all. " He felt a bit bad for the guy who had taken the stray bullet in the stomach, but hoped he didn't rat out Knocko and himself. They would have to get the job done quickly if they got the chance.

Stampede Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Damn! If only they had shot him in the mouth... Knocko eyed the wounded guard, his heart pounding so loud he was worried that the others around them might hear it. Knock quickly walked up to the doors the desperate guard had sealed himself behind and inspected exactly how one might open them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleXVI Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 Seeing that neither Knocko or Travis were bleeding, the guy who checked them applied bandages to stabilize the bleeding soldier, who was already unconscious from blood-loss, while waiting for the medic to arrive. The other was having a heated debated with his commander, apparently the guy inside the computer room was claiming that THEY were the traitors, and the commander wasn't sending down any troops until he knew who the hell they should be shooting at. Examining the door, Knocko found out that the only apparent way to open it besides prying it open, was to use the hand-scanner to the left of the door, then press the "Door Open" button. The hand-scanner hadn't been active when the soldier used the door, but it was now, probably a response to the firefight, which had likely prompted all security to be heightened on that level of the base. "No reinforcements for us, guys," said the soldier on the radio, "But at least he's sending down a medic. What's the plan? That room in there is full of hiding places, and we can't just hose it down with DU*, if we vulk up the analysis computers we'll be in more trouble than if we let that saboteur in there blow them up. There are four of us, we can probably take him, but if we just rush him we should be prepared to get hurt. Bad, whoever goes through the door first is almost a sure goner." (OOC: *DU is Depleted Uranium. Though it poses certain health risks, it's been found to be the most effective material for bullets and hard shells. And quite frankly, whoever you're firing at is usually not someone whose health you care about too much. And by this point most of the enviromental groups have given up trying to campaign against it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampede Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Knocko was thankful for the guards loss of consciousness, right now he had no time for pity. That moment he had spoken about earlier was no present. When he will have to choose between him and everyone else. Knocko figured the best way he could dissuade any suspicions, was to act natural, or even better...like a saint. Hoping to appeal to the other mens better nature he stated: "I just want this to end...I dont want to see anyone else here get hurt...give me something I can use as a shield, even for a little while and I will go first. When I heard there was trouble, I went to fetch my old shottie, I find it more of a sure thing in a close quartered fire fight." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Andy Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 "I'm going with him. That male without a father in there tried to kill me and everyone else who happened to be nearby. I'm not letting this slide. I want to go in second." Travis had his chance to get into the computer room. Hopefully him and Knocko would be able to pull off some plan to get the information they needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
