	IC: Major Joe Olsen, 1st Tank Battalion, 1st Marine Division. New Orleans. Spreading the map out on the turret, Olsen considered his options. "Alright, you can dismount here, and send a couple of fire teams into these buildings here to get overarching fire on the target. One of my platoons will make a demonstration here and get their attention. Meanwhile, the rest of your teams will..." Movement commanded his attention from the corner of his eye. He swung over and saw a cluster of troops approaching. Dozens of M16's suddenly trained on them. Olsen's loader emerged and racked the bolt on his pintle-mounted SAW. "Whoa! Stand Down!" Olsen snapped. He beckoned to the newcomers. "Approach and be recognized. Slowly." TAG: Bloodline -----signature----- Sic vis pacem, para bellum. "hahahahahaha.

	IC:Halyen Malakian, 505th PIR,82nd Airborne New Orleans Haylen and his platoon sergeant stopped in their tracks, last thing anyone needed was anyone getting a twitchy finger.Halyen serveyed the tankers,and immediately felt a wave of relief wash over him.The both of them stepped forward, rifles raised over their heads as they showed that they were not hostiles. Halyen glanced up at the marine on the tank and said "Second Lieutenant Halyen Malakian,82nd Airborne.This is Sergeant First Class John Erwin".Glancing at the Major insignia on Olsen's uniform,in unison the two paratroopers stood at attention and saluted "We were on our way back from VA,were heading towards Bragg,heard what was going on here." "Been in the air about twenty minutes,seen a couple of skirmishes,mostly Covenant Jackals."Sergeant Erwin said,as he pulled out a cigar and bit on it. Halyen looked back towards the platoon and called out "Friendlies!, group it up! NOW".Silently,they began to drop from trees and bushes to converge around the tank. "Well, sir, what's the situation?"he asked,thumbing off the safety,motioning for his men to do the same. Tag:Deiskrad

	IC: Major Joe Olsen Olsen regarded this 2nd lieutenant of the 82nd. He was young. Maybe hadn't even been to Iraq. Well, he was about to get his bellyful of the enemy. Olsen at least hoped this kid was capable, his and his troops' dramatic appearance taken into account. "The situation is as follows: I've assembled an Ad hoc force to go after an Alien LZ. Congratulations, you just joined. Everything I've encountered so far has been light infantry. My guess is that those ships over there..." He gestured with his chin, so that his hands did not leave the map to the fickleness of the wind. "Those fat ones. I bet those are transport ships for heavy equipment. My plan is to overrun those positions and cause as much all-around hell as possible before the United States can make a proper counterattack. The longer we keep them from landing heavy stuff, the better shot we've got." He re-folded the map and handed it back to Locklear. "However, over there, we've got some sort of Alien AA battery. And I can't just bypass it while it fries the next F-22 that comes along. So we are going to attack it and put it out of action. I'm attatching you and your men to my tanks. When we attack, you fill in the spaces between our intervals and protect us and our flanks. We advance together and keep them under fire. When we've got them sufficiently distracted, Locklear and his boys will fall on their flank and wrap things up. Questions?"

	Halyen stood silent as his brain quickly analyzed the operation. "No sir, no questions". Halyen looked at his men and said "you guys heard the major, stick close to the tanks, you see any grunts,jackals,Double tap them.Take them down clean. Squad leaders control your elements and maintain distance." The men nodded and quickly fell in step behind and beside the tanks. He motioned for his first squad to take point,the men quickly heeding his words. "Sir, we found a trail.Looks big enough for us to pass through".Reported a small Private. "I see a small body of water,geez hope there aren't any snakes" Voiced another. Halyen shook his head at the whole picture:Tough,trained infantryman talking about snakes. Still, it reminded him of why it was so important to defeat the covenant. Grinning, he called out "all right, allright, keep the chatter low, dont wanna scare the jar heads too much. You know they are still trying to come back from market garden".The men gave playful laughs,and offered half-hearted marine/navy jokes. He looked up at the Major and said "quick question sir,you all haven't seen a young lady and a little boy have you? They were last seen around the fort polk area i heard.." He pulled out his picture and handed it to the major,praying for good news. Tag:anyone

	IC: Olsen Olsen looked down at the photograph in the soldier's shaking hand. The swirl of ash-dusted faces he'd seen today made everyone look alike. "I've not seen them. We weren't stationed at Polk. Don't worry about it. I'm sure that the dependents have been evacuated from Fort Polk." He knew that his words echoed hollow. As the 2nd Lieutenant nodded and started to dismount the Abrams, Olsen called him back. "Hey. You sure you're focused? In the zone?" TAG: Ralyen -----signature----- Sic vis pacem, para bellum.

	IC: Olsen The alien AA battery was greeted by the shuddering blasts of a dozen 120mm Abrams main guns. The HEAT rounds roared forth and loosed their devastation amongst the panicking aliens and their equipment. Olsen could have opted to fire the machine guns instead, but he wanted the enemy's first taste of the Marines to be the main guns. Instantly the short aliens ran about shrieking and seeking cover. Three of the squat, beetle-like turrets that were arrowing plasma at the heavens were blasted into the air and were silent. Olsen racked the bolt on the Cal .50 and fired. Not at anything in particular, he just wanted to continue the alien panic. There was a flash and one of his tanks were burning, the turret popped off. One fo the remaining alien guns had realigned it's sights and were firing on the tanks and infantry that roared in. It's victory was only momentary, as the fixed gun was met with countless bullets which washed the tall tall alien out of the fighting compartment in a wash of purple ichor. A squad of aliens was retreating and about to round the corner out of the park and be out of range, but just as he'd planned, a platoon of 82nd airborne soldiers rose up and hosed the survivors with SAW's and rifles. They all went down like tenpins. "Cease fire." Olsen called over the company net. The fire died out after half a minute. The whole attack had been about three minutes total. "Collect tags and re-assemble. two minutes." Olsen knew he had at least four KIA. The way that abrams brewed up, he knew there would be no survivors. Even now, its chassis glowed and shimmered from the heat of the ionized plasma that had punched through. Olsen waved to Halyen who was reassembling his troops. "Lieutenant Malakian. Your Casualties? Is your unit still combat-effective?" TAG: Anybody! -----signature----- Sic vis pacem, para bellum. "hahahahahaha.

	OOC:Sorry for not posting, Been trying to push my West point App.) IC:LT. Malakian As the attack ended Halyen directed his focus to his scattered platoon. "Squad leaders, report" "1st Squad, 3 wounded, 1 killed" "2nd Squad" none killed, none wounded" "3rd squad, none killed...but we have two wounded". The more he heard the news, the more his resolve slipped. "Damn...just-" "MEDIC!" a anguished voice bellowed out, screeching through the silence. Halyen turned his neck into the direction of the creek, and motioned for some men to investigate. As they made at move to head out, A corpral emerged,as he dragged a wounded soldier into view. "MEDIC, I NEED A MEDIC" the man bellowed again. Halyen stepped to see the man, and at once immediately wished he hadn't: The man's right face side was burned to the point where you could see the back of his head.His eyes had been Half-burned,The blood turning orange.First glance told Halyen that the guy was already gone. His arm had been burned clean off,to the point where it wouldn't bleed. Several retching sounds plauged the group,as well as several prayers in numerous languages. The 2nd Squad leader shook his head in disbelief "Well,scratch that. 2nd Squad, none wounded, 1 killed. Damn shame".At those words, Halyen looked up and said "What was this man's name? rank?" "Juan Rodriguez, Specialist" Sobbed the Corpral who dragged him. Sergeant Erwin looked at his young platoon leader and said simply "Orders sir?" "....Lets give them some Soldier's crosses.They deserve more, but..."Halyen mumbled,as he tossed his M16 aside in fury. Saying nothing, the paratroops quickly dug out six man-sized ditches,unpinned each of their fallen comrades Jump wings,and laid each man in their respective plot. Dirt was immediately thrown back in the ditches,I.D. tags wrapped around each blood stained rifle. In unison, the men jutted the bayoneted rifles above the plots, and placed each man's boots in front of their graves. Halyen looked at his men as they worked, their faces taut with pain, yet they showed no emotion. Halyen looked at his platoon Sergeant, from whom received an encouraging nod.Together the two men placed the Tankers combat helmets on the butt of their arms, placed blood stained maroon berets on the Airborne plots. Glancing at Major Olsen, Halyen shook his head and said "Sorry its taking so long sir, Its customary for a fallen Paratrooper to have his beret placed on his grave...shows that he has completed his last jump...". Pivoting back towards the graves, he serveyed his men and bellowed out "PLATOON, PRESENT ARMS",everyone swiftly saluting their fallen brethen,Marine and Army. Tag:anyone

	IC: Major Olsen,, Ad Hoc taskforce, New Orleans Olsen watched the paratroopers honor their dead, and then gestured Lieutenant Halyen over. "I need you to pick some good men and scout ahead. The landing site isn't far, and I want to sell our lives dearly. Find us the most undefended route and get back here. No heroism. And don't get discovered."

	IC: Major Joe Olsen, 1st Tank battalion, New Orleans "Repeat message. Say again? Over." Joe yelled into the Mic. The message was very faint. Long-range radios were next to useless due to the ionizing effects of the alien plasma. he tapped the speaker and listened over the roar of the tank. "Red Tail this is Glass Eye. Tilt. I say again: Tilt. Over." Joe wasn't sure whether to be infuriated or relieved. Tilt was the signal to make all speed for the north side of the river and to continue heading north to a new MLR which they would be apprised of later. He was relieved because this meant they would live a little while longer. But he was angry because he was close to his objective of rolling the Alien LZ. Gripping the coaming of the Turret, Olsen hauled himself up into the breezing air. "All units hold position. All units hold positions. Company commanders to me Soonest." He didn't wait for the acknowledgements. Sighing, he turned to address the quizzical Lt. Malakian and Locklear. "They're withdrawing us. God only knows why." TAG: Sripvalentine, Bloodline IC: Brtak 'Hasdapree, Sangheili Zealot, Commanding Third Arm of the Fleet of Joyous Purification 'Hasdapree touched the etheral light panel before him. A series of figures appeared, scrolling upwards. 'Hasdapree stared. The figures did not stop. Casualties. Hundreds of them. He was appalled. Then embarassed, then enraged, then suddenly anxious. The humans were putting up incredible resistance to his landing on the northern portion of the lesser continental mass on this planet. He'd selected a coastal city for the attack, and had ordered the immediate surrounding area glassed before sending in his troops. He figured that as on previous campaigns, the shock and terror and confusion caused by the glassing would stun the populace into near immediate submission. The Prophets had predicted a victory within a cycle with minimal casualties. 'Hasdapree had never agreed with the figures of light casualties, nor victory within a cycle. But this... This was almost unheard of! Especially considering the fairly low level of technology their enemies wielded. Now, other options had to be considered. Ones that were almost thrown out of the planning phase. 'Hadaspree had lost a disproportionate number of Banshee flyers and pilots. They had been engaged by the enemy air forces and ground defenses and they had taken a considerable toll. They had been victorious, but were later called on to silence the Human floating gun emplacements in the nearby sea, who were firing on Covenant landing zones. The Banshees and their Snagheili pilots had been slaughtered and swept from the sky by the floating platform's close-in defenses. Some of those platforms still had not been silenced. This, despite multiple attacks from the banshees, and even some attempts at boarding. 'Hadaspree had the cold, sinking feeling that the COvenant were in for a months-long, if not years long campaign. Which meant many casualties. Some of his Sangheili brethren no doubt were happy to have the chance to embark on their Journey, but 'Hadaspree would much rather live and achieve the glory of victory, and embark on his journey after drawing his pension for a long time. He made a decision. touching another ethereal button, he paged his Chief of Staff. "Evacuate our surface troops. We will glass the rest of this boil of a population center. Show the rest of this planet that resistance is worse than pointless." TAG: Anyone -----signature----- Sic vis pacem, para bellum. "hahahahahaha.

Corporal Wlter Black. . . stationed. . . miles outside of Lincon. . . o go go Jansen go(rapid machine gun fire fills radio transmission) reporting enemy size about. . . thousand repeat two thousand requesting immidiate bac- Jansen!!!!!!!!! Oh my god . . . incomi. . ." The radio cuts to static. "Dang, people got smacked up good down there I hear." A private said "Cut the chatter Browning." replied John Walker a big city Corpral with an aggresive problem that had no off switch. "Sir all I mean't was th-" the private was responding when the light on the C-47's drop door lit up red. The drop commander shouted "Equipment check" All the paratroopers shouted their all goods just in time for the light to go green and the commander to say"Go go go". "Time to get bloody messy gents" a comedic trooper said as he leapt from the plane. John took a deep breath and leapt from the plane and almost died in the air as he saw the wall of plasma that shot towards him. He shut his eyes and prayed to god and was rewarded with the screams of two troopers that had had the misfortune to get 'grazed' which meant a super slow death. John was helpless as he was when the radio shot on and he listen to the shouts of the doomed troops down in Lincon which was where he was going. When he landed he was lucky he landed with all his gear and three friends and only two squads of the small aliens staring right at them. "Sir?" the private from the plane asked from his hiding place in the shadows. John made a silencing motion with his hand and point towards the grunts and when he did so an armoured behemoth came walking into view. A huge green blob shot from its huge cannon litterally attached to its arm and the screams of troopers rewarded it with the conformation of a hit or ten John thought as burst fire cut into the aliens from behind and either by luck or skill the armoured alien fell along with five smaller aliens and the rest were dispatched by the three human groups combined fire. "Bloody good show chaps, why i thought we were in for a smack and Im sure glad to say i was terribly wrong." Private Wallas Scott said as he spit on the huge alien. John stared at it as he heard a whimper but it wasnt human, one of the tiny aliens was crawling not away but towards them and it wasnt until it was to late that John saw the ignited grenade in its hand. The Grunt blew away half the men in the group of humans including Private Wallas Scott the best shot John had. "Noooo" a nervous trooper shouted. "Into the trees" John whispered "Quickly, quietly remember we have a mission to complete" He whispered to himself as the stalked towards Lincon "Yea, if anyone is still left to complete the mission." -----signature----- Jedi Knight in the New Jedi Trials Yeah.. now your starting to under stand...
