"So who wants to bet they don't give us the rest of our R&R when this is over?" Hayek looked around, combat seemed to snap him out of his slight haze from all the drinks. "I guess we can only hold out for reinforcements int he form of a few fleets for a while then?"

"Hopefully the fleet intended to arrive will hurry up and do so. Until then, we are stuck here fighting off the Strogg on our own... like we did the first time." The Master Sergeant said.
((OOC: If you know anything about history, Pearl Harbor occured similarly. The listening outposts did not report the large amounts of Japanese bombers and planes heading to Pearl Harbor because a flight of B-17 Bombers was supposed to come in and they thought that was what the signals were.))

"Shit. Why the fuck did they let this happen? Are they that stupid?" Meyen said.

Elias shook his head
"I defended Earth from these bastards once before. . .Hell. . .I might as well be doin the job again" He mumbled and flicked a cigarette out the window.
What people said about them was true. . .They were the bad asses of the galaxy. . .
"Sooner we get this done. . .Sooner we get it done" he winked at Tomala.

Godchild grasped the boot's shoulder and winked
"Let's hope" he said and took the eye patch off, and tucked it safely in one of his chest pockets on his BDU's, hopefully it'd stay there. His cybernetic eye was a ghastly thing to behold, intimidating those who aren't used to it, but it'd help today.

Bullets pinged off the frontal Hummvee. A bullet pierced the windshield and hit Hayek in the stomach. He grimaced in pain and knew that he could not yet receive medical attention. Mr. Death was in the second Hummvee. Though, the situation was getting worse. Strogg with Rail Guns were posting up on rooftops. He turned on the communications. "Snipers! Be careful!" He said, grimacing in pain. <Actions> |

"Fuck me running sideways. . .This is a literal fuck fest now. . ." He said. He didn't know how the rest of his family was doing, they didn't have Comms.
"Tomala. . . Conserve ammo and take one shot kills. We're not out of this hell yet" He said
(I can just imagine the song "Big Sur" by Mason Jennings playing in the background as all of this started happening, you should listen to it lol, you'll understand)

Mr. Death shrugged
"We get there when we get there. . .As long as no one gets hurt I don't really give a damn" he said, shooting a Strogg sniper six times. The first 4 shots missed, it was a ways away and he was a Medic, not a sharp shooter. The last two shots found their target, killing him instantly.
"If that M50 doesn't, I will" he said winking
He needed to know the status of the other troops. . .He wanted this hell to be over, he didn't want any to lose any of the Hell Hounds on R&R.
"Tomala, next time we stop, I want you to stay here and make sure that if anyone gets hurt, you patch em up" He said, beginning to empty out a little of the medical supplies from his makeshift pack of medical supplies.
"I'll be going to the other Humvee and checking on everyone, if everything is okay, I'll be back. If things don't check out, I'll do what I can and then return ASAP, you copy?"

The gunner in Meyen's veichle was firing away. He was putting burts into Strogg and tearing them apart with the big MG. Meyen needed a gun and fast. He looked at the gunner's feet, he had his assualt rifle there and a pouch with mags in it. Meyen grabbed it in an instant, cocked the rifle and began to look for hostiles...

'' Dont worry I got these boys if they get hurt.'' Tomala said to Godchild. Godchild had entrusted Tomala with a great task basically to take care of any friendlies. He felt deep responsiblity to his family and Godchild. |

There were an endless amount of Strogg it seemed to Meyen. On the rooftops, shooting at them. Ships in the sky vaporizing buildings and people. Fires everywhere. People screaming. It was purely chaotic. Meyen saw a Strogg group, squad sized, on a roof of a market of somesort. Meyen opened up, putting 3 rounds in the chest of one of them. Then he killed two more. The gunner must of spotted them also because the rest were blown to pieces, one of them cut in half.

Tomala continued to take head shots and shots he could make and still looking around and checking everyones status. Strogg seemed to be an onslaught hundreds of strogg grunts charging in the streets he continued to fire out of the window killing about 3 strogg.
