Mission Note:
When we get to our stuff we will find equipment for combat in close quarters (room to room, or house to house)
Cable: will have his armor and a Squad Support Phaser Weapon (SSPW)...He will have his armor (Which may not be standard issue).
Kirby and MacIson: Will both have their armor (Standard issue type) and Type-4 Phaser Sniper Weapons, with their automated spotters (little four legged robots that work as a spotter). They will also have Phaser Carbines as back up weapons.
Everyone else: It'll be Standard Armor and Phaser Carbines.
We will also have our knock out hypos and assorted grenades and explosives. You may also have other gear that fits your character.

A joint post by Cable and Mom.
The Planet Outside
On:
Cable went over and picked up a disrupter that one of the guards had relinquished when they were stunned. "Butcher huh? Well if this rommie knows where our stuff is lets shove off."
"I agree" Gentry said, as he pointed the disruptor at the Romulan. "Lead on."
As the ragtag group of Rangers started to follow the Romulan down the dirt path, Cable took up position in the rear keeping and eye out for any contacts. The alarm had to alert somebody as to what was going on. "Since I dont know who the majority of you are, I am Mixon call sign 'Cable'. I am the Merc Team's new heavy gunner."
"Yes" Frank relied. "I do remember reading the report on you before you were to be transferred to Striker." As they walked along, The Romulan started to talk. "The natives on this planet call themselves the 'Gentle People', we call them the Aerv, meaning 'Crafters'. I'm sorry to say, we exploited their talents."
"Their Talents?" Frank inquired. "What talents?"
"Why, Butcher?" There was some anger in Argelan's voice. "Are you going to take them from here, just so that you can exploit them?"
As they walked along Cable was very much on edge. He did not like others controlling him. He had no clue where he was or what he was doing here. This made him very on edge. "Hey Rommie you said they're crafters. What exactly do you pointie eared low lifes have them crafting" Cable saw a building up ahead, it was nothing more than an improved hut, with an automatic door.
Argelan stopped. He thought for a moment...then...
"My life is forfeit anyway, I gave them the knowledge they needed to take back their planet...That makes me a traitor to the Empire." He paused for a few seconds. "The males are capable of absorbing great amounts of technical knowledge...They can design or improve upon existing designs of most anything." He paused again. "The females, with the right tools, can then create the designs. The last prototypes for a new model cloaking devise, was designed and built here."
"Did you say, cloaking device?" Gentry said with surprise.
Cable chuckled as he scanned the horizon for more guards. "I guess when your empire was rebuilding after the war, you thought, it was ok to take short cuts. So this isn't these creatures native world?"
"Yes, it is." The Romulan stated. "When it was discovered what they could do, the planet's existence was classified and the facilities were installed. The natives were rounded up and put to work." He looked at Cable. "I'm not proud of what we did. Though I wasn't privy to the truth, until I got here, I still had a part in it. I feel that I must make it up to them...somehow."
They were moving again, toward a hut.
As they approched the hut the only two rangers with weapons were Mom and Cable. Cable walked up to the control pad to open it and waited for Mom to get in position.
Gentry lowed to a crouch, pointing his disruptor. "Open her up."
Cable nodded and punched the control and the door swung open.
Nothing stirred. Gentry slowly went in aiming the weapon in all directions. "Clear!"
There was a pile of gear on the floor.
Cable followed in sweeping the other half of the room. "Clear!" Cable bellowed.

<<<Earlier>>>
Hansen came to.
He was in a cell of some sort. There was someone in the cell with him. He slowly got to his feet.
He spotted a centuar like being with red hair outside the cell. 'What the hell happened?'... he thought. He couldn't remember anything. He turned to the person in the cell and asked. "Where are we?"
Clack didn't answer, he appeared to be studying the Centuar.
<<<Presently>>>
Hansen walked over to the gear in the middle of the room. He picked up a phaser carbine and his black body armor. He put on the armor and slung the carbine over his shoulder.
Off: ooc...I posted with Hansen in a cell. Will now try to catch up may have posted in wrong order sorry.
GM's Note: I prettied up your post (I hope you don't mind), and I consolidated the two (you still get credit for both...That's if you keep track). Go a head and post in the present.

The Prison Camp The Hut
On:
Everyone was gearing up, except Gunny, who had been sat down on a small storage box of some kind. Gentry was watching him with concern, he was barely conscious and leading back and forth, yet, Kirby still had to be geared up. Kirby put MacIson's helmet on him after activating both of their spotters.
Kirby looked toward Frank, there was worry on his face. "I'm hoping his spotter can keep talking to him. Maybe it will help keep him awake." Gunny's spotter a four legged robotic spider like device, only a half meter tall, quickly moved over to MacIson, one of it's legs gently touched Gunny's good leg.
Suddenly, the optical heads of both spotters turned in the same direction, just behind them, time wise, Kirby's head turned in the same direction....A sniper's reaction.
There was a silver metal millipede like thing at the door. It was it was a half of a meter long, with 12 inch long legs. Before anyone could react, it sped to MacIson and wrapped it's leg around the sniper's broken leg.
Gunny rolled off the box, screaming in pain. Everyone pointed their rifles at the thing, trying to get a shot, but couldn't, because MacIson's leg was in the way.
It must have realized it wasn't an invited guest, because as fast as it had moved in it zipped out. No one got a chance to fire at it...Gentry realized...That's fast!
"The Biped's leg should be repaired." (GM's note: All communications from the Male Aerv, or, Gentle Person will be in teal, for this mission)
Everyone's attention...And weapons, were on the almost legless creature, at the opening.
Gentry was the first to talk, he knew they were not using verbal communication...Several others knew it too. "Who are you?"
"I am a Gentle person. You...understand me?" The male asked.
"Yes!" Frank yelled as though he were talking to someone who was hard of hearing.
The little alien looked thoughtful, for a second. "I do not understand...I can communicate to you...the new bipeds, but, not with the nice one."
Frank looked over to the Romulan, somehow he knew the Rommie, was the 'nice one'. He could tell by the Nice One's face that, he was only hearing Frank's half of the conversation.
Frank yelled again. "Who are you?"
And the answer came back. "I am your friend."
OFF: Had to fix Gunny's leg.

ON:
Gabriel was fading in and out and then a sharp pain in his leg hit him, almost as if his leg was on fire. He screamed and then suddenly the pain was gone and the black engulfed him again.
He was then startled awake by a very loud "YES!" He eyes sprung open his rifle scanning the area around him until he saw the Colonel and the creature staring at one another. "Colonel, what's the situation here?" Gabriel asked as his eyes stared at the new alien creature.

The Prison Camp The Hut
ON:
Cable had been manning the door while everyone got geared up since he was one of the only ones with a weapon. Then all the commotion happened with Gunny and the alien. Cable turned
"I am your friend." the weird alien said.
Cable looked at MOM as he went over to the table with his gear and his SSPW. He took his vest and started to put it on switched out his hand with the bi bulky phaser and attached his hand on his vest that was rigged with places to store his attachments. He put on his leg armor. Looked up at the alien and powered up his phaser. "So if your our friend maybe you can tell us what happen I don't even know these guys yet but it appears we were on some mission that I only brought one attachment for and we all got jumped I find that hard to believe and frankly I am getting tired of the games someone around here better start talking!!!" As Cable took his phaser and pointed it dead at the romulan three feet away.
OFF: Quick post didn't wanna advance things to far but needed to get geared up and my frustration out.

And we all got jumped... I find that hard to believe and frankly I am getting tired of the games, someone around here better start talking!!!" As Cable took his phaser and pointed it dead at the romulan three feet away.
Argelan raised his arms in surprise, he wasn't in on the conversation...At least, not the mental parts of it.
Gentry spoke...verbally. "Uh...it's Cable, right? Uh...Hold off with the weapon...He's a prisoner.
The creature didn't react...As though it didn't understand the significance. The male just answered. "I do not really know what happen to you...We had set a snare...hoping to capture some bipeds...Until now, we thought bipeds were all mean, not like the nice one. We were trying to get more magic...We need it now."
Frank looked at the little being. "Do you mean that you were hoping to catch more Romulans?"
The Male answered back. "Yes, the mean ones...They gave us magic...now, we need more...We want to leave."
"Leave?"
"Yes." It answered back. "We want to find more magic."
There was another conversation brewing, this was one that Argelan could hear...Because, he started it.
"I'm a prisoner?...I'm a prisoner!?' The Rommie was angry now. "Does that mean I will see the same as my Romulan brothers saw on Kaleb!?
"Hey!" Gentry yelled. "We had no choice! We had a mission to do...Besides, they weren't officially there."
Argelan wasn't going to let it go. "But, they were there!...Butcher!"
Gentry could only shoot back. "Yes...They were there...And, they understood what could happen if they were caught...I have respect for that...Also..." He looked at the other Rangers. "If what I suspect is true, somehow, we have ended up deep in Romulan space. If we get caught we can expect worse.
At that moment, Kirby, who had rushed to his fellow sniper's side, announced. "This is strange. I think Gunny's leg is no longer broken. And...He's coming to."

The Prison Camp The Hut
Cable had lowered his arm from the Rommie's head and not assisted Kirby in getting Gunny out of the dirt. "OK rangers since we are all geared up make sure you got everything and lets get the show on the road we need to find the command and control point of the facility and we should do it before nightfall"
Mom looked at Cable, raising an eyebrow. (added by GM)
With that everyone took inventory and started to make their way out of the Hut led by Mom. Kirby was helping Mac along. And Cable took up the rear watching everyone's backside. As they made their way down the street Cable was scanning their six when he saw a parked multi-wheeled transport down the street the other direction. "Colonel, I have eyes on a transport unit down the street about a block and a half in my direction. I suggest we try it would make the movement a lot easier."

The Prison Camp
On:
"Colonel, I have eyes on a transport unit down the street about a block and a half in my direction." Cable continued. "I suggest we see if it would make our movement a lot easier."
Gentry could see it too. It was partially hidden by some tall bushes and until now had gone unnoticed. One thing that he did notice now, was the fact that, on top, toward the front, it had a gun copula, with a disruptor cannon mounted in it.
"Just in case..." Tactical thinking had taken over. "I think we better approach it from the rear, where there's a lot of cover from the bushes. We'll advance in covering rushes. Rommie..."
"My name is Argelan." The technician looked indignant.
"Yeah, what ever." Frank wasn't in the mood to argue. "I want you and our little buddy to stay here, and keep an eye on Gunny...Do you understand?"
"Yes."
As the Rangers prepared to melt into the wooded area, Mom turned to Kirby. "See if you can't climb on top of the hut. If that copula starts to move, I want you to take out it's sensors."
"Sounds good to me Frank." Kirby faked a sloppy salute and moved toward his position.
<<<Minutes Later>>>
They moved toward the vehicle in tactical rushes, each element covering to other as it 'leap-frogged' ahead. There was no movement, on or around the personnel carrier. It reminded Frank of a vehicle he had once seen in a museum, when his Grand Father had taken him to Moscow. It was big and had eight large rubber like tires. There was a double doored hatch in the back that looked like it slid open, providing extra cover to any troops disembarking from it...And, there were rifle slits in the doors and the sides of the vehicle.
Nothing happened, as they converged on the carrier.
"Clack, open her." Gentry ordered.
The Bajoran slapped a small device on the door, in seconds, the doors slid open...The vehicle was empty.
"So, anyone know how to drive?" Mom inquired.
Kirby's voice came over to net. "I can!...I can drive anything!"
"Then dee dee over here." Frank almost chucked.
<<<A few more minutes later>>>
After a few bone jarring lurches they were moving forward. Kirby assured everyone that he had got the hang of it, as he hung a sharp U-turn and pulled up in front of those that were waiting.
The little male and the Rommies were surrounded by a small gaggle of serious looking females...none of them were armed.
"I wish to show you something..." The Male's thoughts penetrated the hull of the vehicle. "And...the Females wish to come along."
"Where?" Frank asked.
"I want to show you where the magic is made." Was the answer.
They loaded Gunny on board the carrier, he appeared to be doing better. Gentry climbed into the copula and opened the top hatch, the Male was now on the back of one of the Females, his arms around her waist and stubby legs clutching her hind quarters.
"Follow." The Male said as the 'Centaurs' started to gallop down a trail.
After an uneventful, though bone jarring ride through the jungle, they came upon a large Romulan fortified structure, reminiscent of the one found on Steele's World.
Kirby jerked the vehicle to a halt, and they got out.

ON: Gabriel jumped as the vehicle halted and immediately grabbed his rifle, "Boss! What's the problem?" He asked as he moved to stand, testing his leg gently and after realizing that it was healed he quickly moved out of the vehicle and scanned the area. "Boss, what's the situation?" He asked as he moved towards the front where Gentry was. OFF: OOC: Sorry its taken so long to put up a post.

"Boss, what's the situation?"
Frank looked from his position, standing halfway out the copula hatch, like a Mid-20th Century tank commander, looked down at his trusted sniper.
"I'm not totally sure Gunny." The Gunny was standing there, still wearing only his Ranger 'long johns'...There were dried blood stains on the normally dark grey fabric. "If you're feeling better, go ahead and suit up." At that point Gentry noticed that Gunny didn't realize he was 'naked'.
"Oh, and Gunny." Frank couldn't help but smile. "Tell everyone one else to set up a quick perimeter around this vehicle, Rommies maybe roaming around." He could have just keyed his mike and told them on the net...But, a yelling Gunny, always worked miracles!

Gabriel nodded, "Aye aye SIR." He quickly moved quickly to the cargo hold area of the vehicle and glanced inside, "ALRIGHT! Listen up, I want a full perimeter set up in 2 mikes, is that clear. ROE is to only engage if you are engaged, IS THAT CLEAR!? NOW MOVE!" Gabriel ordered as he got weird looks from the men in the back. After he saw them moving he hopped in the back and donned his Standard armor and grabbed his sniper rifle and Auto Spotter, and moved to check on the perimeter.
After several moments of of angry yelling, due mostly to the fact that someone had made mention that the 'Gunny was making demands whilst naked' Gabriel was satisfied with the Perimeter. "Sir, Perimeter is secure." He reported back to Gentry.

As the Gunny was getting a perimeter set up around the truck, Marcus hopped out from the front where he had been sitting with Kirby.
"I'm gonna hazard a guess that we found the cnc facility."
Resting his carbine on his shoulder, Marcus pulled out his tricorder, wincing slightly as pain shot through his shoulder. It wouldn't effect him too much for now, but he'd have to get it looked at eventually.
Flipping it open, he did a quick scan of the facility.
"Guess I shouldn't have been surprised, it being a secret Romulan facility and all. I'm getting nothing, not even the buildings. So whatever has happened, they atleast still have power."
Sliding his tricorder back into a pocket, Marcus turned towards mom. "So shall we do this the old fashioned way, or do our new 'friends' know something that could help us."
OOC: Sorry for disappearing on you folks, but I'm back now!

As the Gunny had ordered the rangers filed out of the transport and started to take up a defensive perimeter Cable let a comment slip that it was odd taking orders from a man without his gear on. And eluding to the fact he wanted us to setup so he could use the back of the transport as a dressing room. Cable was having a hard time adjusting he had been an officer in Star Fleet and felt under-payed and hated the red tape so he got out and was used by Star Fleet Intelligence as a black ops Merc. He also took some contracts for the Klingons. But now he had been through Ranger school and was part of the Unit but not in rank and file as a MERC that had to follow orders?? This bothered him cause in this case there was no known money to be had he had been ambushed and didn't like it.
As Gunny made his way out of the truck Cable put on of his patent cigars in his lip and smirk "Glad you can join the party BOSS." Heavy on the sarcasm. There was little going on the place seemed very quiet.
Marcus turned towards mom. "So shall we do this the old fashioned way, or do our new 'friends' know something that could help us."
"Cable turned I think these damn freaks have done enough I perfer the direct method" and with that Cable walked up to the front of the Facuility and attached his hand back on and pounded on the front door. "Knock, Knock, Knock Open up its the Federation I have a gun that says we get to search for a way off this damn island!!!" Cable shouted
