El took a breath and tried to remember the tone of the female leader as she worked to open the comms channel briefly but keeping up some of the interference. Matching her tone as she could to hide any of her own ‘alien accent’ she said =^= APC-32J this is squad leader. Comms were bumped in pursuit of looters. Two looters neutralized. Continuing patrol =^= While she might get in trouble with the Captain for that El would rather face that prospect than an APC while they were dealing with two seriously injured women. She glanced to the Captain then gritted her teeth at the situation and callousness of the soldiers. That being said, she wasn’t particularly a saint in the way she was thinking now. Closing her part of the channel she said to Isaac, “How was that?” He would know better the ‘military speak’.
- El, Eng

=/\= Roger 10, out. =/\= Came the reply

Ari watched as her second shot took down one of the two that popped up. “Hold your fire!” She hollered to the rest and waited a moment for silence to settle. Smiling addy El, she nodded quickly, “Good job.”

El gave a quick nod back to the Captain before she disappeared around the ruined vehicle. El remained where she was. It wouldn’t be good to miss any more transmissions from the APC and bring the military vehicle down on them. Pressing her back against the cool metal she focused on the scanner. The others were moving now; the doctor, Elizabeth. El was not very good with first aid but could manage if needed but right now this EM warfare was in her swim lane.

• El, Eng

Standing up, tentatively, she surveyed the five unconscious bodies and watched to be sure they hadn’t miscounted, or miscalculated. She scurried down the center between their cover and the other side where the soldiers had been hiding. Cautiously she looked around the corner to see if anyone still remained.

Ari CO

No other dangers remained present.

As soon as Rachel got the hold fire order she looked across the field. After two seconds she ran in a crouch over to the injured women lying next to the Chief Scientist having replaced her phase pistol with a medical scanner. She dropped to her knee next to them and gave them a quick scan and visual assesment.

Dr. Grey - CMO

Soon as the CO broke cover, Elizabeth had been quick on her heels. There was no way she was going to let the CO be alone that far from the other pistols and, should anything happen, be in the line of fire, either.

She crouched just behind the CO and set her hand on the woman’s shoulder to let her know she was there. Half holding her breath, she waited to be sure, like Ari, that nothing more was hidden behind the rubble.

Elizabeth Intel/Security

Seeing no one behind the other cover, Ari stood up and waved to the others. “All clear. Well, guess we aren’t going for the stroll we thought.” Flipping open her communicator, she hailed the ship. [O]Transporter Room, send down the standby Marine. Looks like we’ll have need after all.[O]

[O]Copy, Captain,[O] came the reply from NE Lane on the other end.

She knew it wouldn’t be long but she didn’t want to necessarily wait out in the open, either. Walking over to the wounded, she crouched down beside the Doc. “Will they be all right? Perhaps we can learn something more from them and save ourselves a bit of hassle. Either way, can’t just let them bleed out on the street.” She didn’t like the idea that they were partly to blame for the ladies being shot. If they had kept running past them, or even taken cover, perhaps things would have gone differently.

Ari CO

Rende had already been on stand by and waiting. She was already geared up and ready to go. She nodded to NE Lane and stepped onto the transporter pad. These things, well this less advanced version, made her cautious, but she nodded to Lane and disappeared. These older versions took so long to work, but after several long seconds she appeared. She walked over to Ari taking in the scene. Indeed they could have used her much sooner. “Captain.”

2nd Lt Asam, Marine

Lt. Sanks didn’t really notice the person beam down, as he was still working, but felt like he was almost done with the language and communication of the alien translation compared to the broken English.

Lt. Sanks, Linguist

Sanks did indeed have a good starting point for the UT to do its job on the alien language, written language was further along than spoken but it was a good start.

As for the two women the older one had bled out and since died, but the younger one was still barely holding to life as she got treated. “..It hurts it hurts!” She gurgled in pain.

GM CockRoach

Rachel got to work quickly treating the injury, replacing the cloth with fresh bandages from her bag. She theorized that the older woman must have been shot in the femoral artery due to her bleeding out so quickly. She grabbed a laser scalpel and started working on stopping the bleeding.

Dr. Grey - CMO

As Rachel approached, Roger took his hands away from the woman. His hands were not covered in blood. He scooted his body a foot or two away, to give the doctor room to work. He started at his hands, at the blood, slowly looking over at the older woman who was lying motionless. It seemed apparent, but he crawled over to her, taking her wrist and checking for a pulse. He pressed her neck just to be certain, but it was unmistakable. He looked back over to Rachel.

“She’s dead,” He said, sadness in his voice.

-Roger Ferguson, CSO

Rachel didn’t look up from her work “And this one is alive because of you” She said, her voice was stern and filled with focus, now there wasn’t time to be sad over a deceased stranger she thought.

After the reply from the APC, El breathed easier. She tried to find it by virtue of it’s signal to tag it in her scanner and set up a kind of perimeter alarm such that if it came within 50 meters of them - or vice versa! - they would be notified. That didn’t likely help with regards to foot patrols but one thing at a time. Maybe they had something on their persons that had positioning systems for their teams. Slowly rising she surveyed the scene, frowning at the declaration of Roger regarding one of the women. Her eyes moved to the ration packs they had allegedly taken. Was life worth that little to these people? Moving around the ruined vehicle she looked at the stunned soldiers and quietly thought a ‘mistaken’ kill setting wouldn’t have been a bad thing for these.

She tried to recall their words. That the ‘North’ had energy weapons. That would mean that these troops were the ‘locals’. And they treated their own this way? Over just .. this? Her toe tapped at the ration pack. “We may want to keep our weapons hidden,” she said. “The enemy from the North uses them and we would be mistaken for them.” She knelt down and hefted what one of the soldiers had, looking for others .. sidearm, knife, grenades and the like. She had pockets.
- El, Eng

Isaac kneeled next to El “Find anything useful” he asked. He was doing his best to stay unseen and not to use his phase pistol. Then he asked “Did you find any weapons I can use”

Lt. Isaac Black (AC)

Dr. Grey - CMO

Standing a few feet away Rende saw Lt Black and En Elemirre going through pockets. She approached, all the while watching the area surrounding them for any subtle or obvious indications that they were no longer alone. “Excuse me Lt. if you are looking for a weapon,” she unshoulder her pack and set it down. “You’ll find some non energy weapons in there. Take your pick.” While she was down here she answered directly to Lt Black as the chief armory officer. “Orders, Sir?”
