Turn 2: CAS Inbound

[Mr. Death]

Elias' head sort of lolled as Hayek carried him. Elias was no longer able to hold onto his shotgun, and he would have dropped it if not for the sling he had on it. His cybernetic eye helped tremendously though, keeping him focused in one eye as his right eye began to blur again.

He needed to keep himself alive. He needed to force himself out of the "daze" he was in at the moment. . .

Hayek was getting torn up by the strogg fire nothing serious had happened yet thank god though. He set Elias down by a group of medics who were tending to others, "Get him fixed up asap we need him on the lies." He ordered then ran off again. "Not much longer he muttered... We got this..."

[Mr. Death]

A young medic came over, sweating, obviously nervous about operating on another soldier. He was an FNG, even Elias, in his blood loss-induced fever, could tell as much.

The medic licked his lips, reaching for a tool in his bag.
Elias shook his head, and whispered as blood trickled from his mouth
"No. . .First. .. Get the Forceps. . .Pull the bullets out. . ." He coughed up more blood. The new medic nodded and began pulling the bullets out.

"Now. . . Take the metal tube. .. Inject the foam into the wounds. . ." He said. He was drifting off, but instructing the medic was keeping him conscience.

Hayek looked back and couldn't help but laugh... Turning back he was shot in the shoulder for it. "Gah... Damn squibs..." He jumped down in a crater with several other marines and relaxed for a moment. "Status reports!"

"Under heavy fire, sir!" A Marine announced, "I don't know how much longer we can hold this bitch!"

The situation had gotten worse. Strogg had entered the compound from all sides and were barely being held at bay. Mortars landed everywhere and the Strogg convoy was within eyesight now. They were all going to die. It was over for all of them. Suddenly, the roaring sound of aircraft engines resonated throughout the entire area.

Four flashes of light flew over the base and if you focused on the objects, you could see they were the Space Navy attack bombers. They made a pass on the Strogg convoy, completing destroying it. Then they began straffing the ground forces and the Marines cheered as the close air support completely destroyed the attacking forces. It was not long before the Marines were able to fight off the remnants of the attack.

"Alright Marines, the coast is clear. All hostile contacts eliminated," The base commander said.

Now the Hell Hounds had some time to relax until they received their first mission on the planet. They could help rebuild the area, assist the wounded, or relax in the fighting holes.

The lieutenant grinned walking up to a high hill over the disappearing corpses. "Oorah..." He laughed it sounded funny he stood up there alone for a while thinking before walking back to the base... "God I'm starving..."

[Mr. Death]

Elias was doing better, but still not in fighting shape. The medic had followed his instructions as best he could, and because of it, Elias would be recovering faster. He was propped up against a wall, still helping some of the medics, giving them instructions and what not, but only barely, he was still weak.

[Shadow]

A few soldiers looked at him as he passed by it looked like he wasn't scratched one of them grinned and said, "Can't touch a Shadow can you LT.?"

Shadow laughed, "Hell no, that's why I'll never die." He continued on other soldiers marveling at him, his record was to say the least amazing by now. Going to a lower part of the compound and looking around he wondered where he could find some food.
