OOC: I’ll leave the rules at the top of the thread in case anyone else wants to join. As provided by Surda/Leonora:

“Our first game has three parts. Number one, it is a teamwork game. Everyone has been placed with a partner, which you will find on that board.” Ant the wave of her hand, a board materialized. “However each partner team is also a part of either the red team or the blue team. You will have a small light that symbolizes which.” A pile of light-up pins appeared below the board. “Number two, it is a shooting game. There are no live rounds, and no weapons other than the guns I hand out are allowed. You can keep them on you, but don’t use them.” And now for her favorite part. “Number three, there is a point system. You do not have to last the longest to win. Lasting till the end gives you 200 points. Each successful shot is 30 points. Using an illicit weapon loses you 100 points, losing your partner loses you 50. Shooting someone on the same team as you loses you 60 points. There are bonuses, but I won’t tell you what they are. I will say some people are worth more points than others.”
The board was as follows: (As decided by a wheel)

• Casela Synthi-er and Saler (Security NE)


• Quinn Kindle and Juliet Anders (Neither are officially here, but I’m godfathering them in. They can take it up if they want.)


• Surda and Zachariah Cobb


• Irida Kovacenkov and Kit Larding (Also a security NE)


• Luna and Jonathan Kirel (RTF NE)

-The Board of Doom™
Saler nodded. “Kit Larding. She is particularly excitable and probably won’t pose too much of a challenge. She has never excelled with guns.” He knew her fairly well and was often partnered with her for patrols. “I will leave the choice in your hands, but they likely will start moving soon.”
-Saler

She looked around and saw ladders leading up. She’d go up, it would give her a better view, but she knew from their little bar rumble, Surda would always go up, so she stayed on the floor and melted into the shadows in the room moving her way around and behind the other pair.

Irida looked at Kit, “We’ve got the wall to our backs, we’ll sweep forward, and won’t have to worry because we’ve already seen what’s behind us.” To Kit she would sound a little too sure of herself. Irida, was a little trigger happy, but after Dave had broke out she’d learned to wait to fire but still she turned suddenly at every perceived movement in the shadows of the room or flicker behind a blind.

Kit simply nodded, feeling a bit giddy at the chance to team up with such an impressive officer. She hadn’t made the cut for RFT, so the partnership was like a dream come true.
-Kit Larding

Luna settled into cover and watched quietly. She would wight for the fight to start. She never attacked first she looked over to her partner. ” let’s stay here and watch the fight start once there focused on each other its will be a little easier to get behind people.” Luna said. Her partner simply nodded.

Lacking the same measure of grace as his Orion partner, Cobb followed towards the closest ladder and then began to quickly make his way up, pausing briefly at the midway point when he feared his bad leg might give out on him. But he made it to the higher level without calamity and, were the gods feeling fortuitous, without drawing attention to himself or Surda.

The elevation provided him with a wonderful vantage point and, for a few moments Cobb lingered close to the edge as he studied the scene around him. All of the tactics on display were familiar to him, but the captain gathered a great sense of comfort and pride from witnessing the skilled and polished efficiency of his crew. At this stage of the game it was impossible to bet on a potential winner, but no matter the name, it would come as no surprise to Zachariah.

Surda grinned and sat down on the elevated pathway. “We have to make sure not to shoot anyone on our own team.” There was an inherent obstacle for every pair, whether it was teamwork, a partner they had never worked with, or just not being well suited for the weaponry. “Other than that, let’s show off a little.” The room was near pitch black with the exception being little pinpricks of light from the buttons. There were tunnels on the ground level where people could hide from them, but they wouldn’t be able to stay for very long.
-Surda, CoS

Irida nodded to Kit. She was eager to find one of the higher ranking officers and get some points on the board. She was after Casela mostly. After Casela had snuck up on the entire team that first RTF training she’d been ready to pay the CNS back, and she’d done it every training session since. Irida thoughts she was good, but Casela being that good just irked her. “How do you feel about a standard 2 person sweep? That way cover each other’s backs. Remember we loose points if we loose our partner.” Irida looked around seeing shadows change and pointed, someone was moving around.
OOC: Are there just the 6 or other NEs too?
Opperative Kovacenkov, RTF
OOC: There are 18 pairs, 9 on each team. If you want to shoot some of your RTF NE’s I’ll show them and their partner’s name disappearing from the board, and you’ll get points for it.

Luna wanted to get into the air but in this kind of combat getting in the air could make her a big target and there was the no losing her partner part of the rules to contend with. She looked around from there hiding spot. ” hay look” she whispered to the ensign next to her there was a pair on the opposite team pined down by there team. ” let’s get them wail they are distracted.” Luna said they lined up the shots and fired at the pair befor moving further back into the cover of dark ness the moved slowly and quietly to the next avaliable space of cover.

Shifting into a sturdy, low crouch, Cobb peered over the edge and settled on a blue team member to try and pick off. Of course, a shot from the heavens ran the risk of also revealing his position to the other players. It would be vital that he fire only when his target was alone and, as much as possible, away from the other members of the team.

But if the Dominion War had taught Cobb anything then it was patience. Or maybe it was apathy…but they amounted to the same in the end. And so, he remained content to simply observe for almost a full ten minutes before finally spying his chance and, raising up on one knee, aligning his weapon and taking his shot…

OOC: Aiming for unidentified blue team member

Casela moved silently around the room. She saw Irida and Kit moving in a standard staggered sweep and nodded to Saler and pointed. It would be too hard to get them at the moment. She looked around and the dim light was bouncing off the feathers on Luna’s back but she was behind cover and no shot there. However there was an RTF NE directly in front of her, badge lit up blue not paying attention. She grinned at Saler again pointing and looked around for the NE’s security counter part. She’d let Saler take the RTF NE while she moved adjacent to the him and tried to spot the team mate.

Saler nodded and dropped closer to the floor, aiming straight at the NE’s back. He trained the gun on him carefully but waited for Casela’s signal.
-Saler, Sec NE

Surda nodded to Cobb and moved to the other side of the walkway and moved about ten feet down. She’d shoot when he did, and they could both pick off half of a team before they had to move.
-Surda, CoS

OOC: Did Cobb get a hit? Or are we deciding that for ourselves? He took aim at an unidentified blue team member.

OOC: If its an unnamed character you get to decide.
