| Greetings, citizen! It takes some gall and wit to survive in our world.

Enlist! If you're already enlisted, what are you waiting for? Log your ass in! |

"Well, I need to get back, there's another woman that is waiting for one of these," Rob grabbed a new MRE, intending to bring it to Renata. Much less complicated than taking her back to where the others were. He couldn't leave Kida in the truck, so he beckoned her to follow him out, "It's been very nice meeting you, but you can't stay in here." |

Abby jumped up on the window ledge, and pried open the window, coughing as it blew dust in her face. It hadnt been opened in a very long time. She stuck her legs out and sat on the ledge, peering down to see what was going on outside. She could see Major Rob in the transport, and could hear soft voices. Since she was told to stay with the group, jumping out the window would probably get her in trouble. She climbed back inside and went back over to examine the case she pulled down. |

Does she see something? Dropping his collection once again, Gene made his way to the window after Abby vacated the ledge. The truck was there, along with two figures who look like they're about to leave. He decided to stay there and watch. The crisp night air felt good against his skin. --- A wave of nausea surged through Josie at the mention of the food. Looks like it's got a reputation here. Doesn't take a genius to see why. "Thanks ..." she said in a uncharacteristically tentative voice as she made her way over to a bed and lay down, looking uncomfortably at the unconscious doctor the nurse was currently tending to. For some reason, he doesn't seem well-liked by most of the people at the mess hall. One of the corporals even kicked him. Though he doesn't seem like a nice person to anyone anyway. Well, her time in the army hasn't exactly gone off to a good start .. |

Kida raised an eyebrow and Stood up, drawing her coat around her shoulders, She started to follow him, Jumping out of the truck and landing with a gentle thud, she kept low to the ground and used her spear as a Leaning post, Watching him carefully, It seemed like she intended to follow him. |

Rob wasn't entirely comfortable with the idea of being followed around, but he'd come to the conclusion that Kida wasn't a danger to him. Still, he didn't know how she'd react to the others, or how the others would react to her. "You should probably head home," he said softly, "You probably already know, this isn't exactly a safe place to hang out." He tipped his head at her, in a slight bow, "It was nice meeting you." And then turned away, heading back to the door of the hospital, hoping she wouldn't follow. |

Kida tilted her head and Lent on her spear, watching the man leave, she grunted and Walked back to the truck Poking and prodding at the wheels and construction, 'Was it living? it certainly roared...' She thought to herself As she gave it a gentle work over. |

Rob entered the foyer, MRE in hand, pleased- he'd give this to Renata, and then she would leave and then they could get on with their mission. But directly after he spotted her, he also spotted Weaver and Manny. He felt a wave of rage sweep over him, and he scowled. Renata hadn't seen him yet, but Weaver had, and knew instantly that he was in a bucket of trouble. Rob took a second to calm himself, before moving away from the door and once again placing himself in between the woman and his team. "Here," he said to her, sliding the MRE across the floor toward Renata, "As promised." Without looking, Rob subconsciously bit his lip, voice quiet and dark, "Emmanuel. Are you hurt?" |

Things were finally had settled down at the base, many of the new recruits heading off to be about now. To say the least, it was pretty silent and it was rather nice. It was calming, the stars in the sky twinkling like little gems. Certainly one of the nights you'd like to lay on the ground and look up. What a gorgeous show the night put on. That was all about to change in the matter of minutes though, as there was soon a loud explosion of one of the buildings. To be specific, it was the side of the building the armory was at. Pieces of rubble landed on the ground, some on fire, others hot from the flames of the fires that engulfed the building. From the mess, came many a man, running into the now open area of the base. They were all members of a gang, one that was lead by a rather cunning man, if such a thing could be said about him. Soon enough, their leader came from behind the smoke and flames; Slinging a large gun in his hand. His eyes peered around, maybe of the soldiers had come out to see what was going on. Many of them stood in fear, some in utter confusion. You could certainly say, none of them could have ever seen such a thing happen. "Alright boys," the man called out, "lets teach that assholes what happens when you take from out city." With that said, they all scattered about, doing what it was they were told. Such marvelous carnage happening, everything was happening as he had planned. That is, for now at least. Felix almost got himself a front row seat of all this. All the saw out of a few windows was a surprise attack. Here he thought the base was suppose to be a safe place, but with officers gone they were almost like sitting ducks; waiting to be shot from out of the sky. "Oh shit," was all he could utter out of his mouth. What were they even going to do about this? ((oh man I hope this doesn't sound crappy...)) |

At the sound of the explosion, Westlake startled, shooting up out of bed, the IV pulling from his hand, and he hissed with the pain. He stared down at it, like a foreign thing and then spotted Felix over by the window. "Felix?" he muttered groggy. He stood from the bed, swaying just slightly as he was hit with a wave of dizziness, then dropped back down to a sit. He pressed a hand to his head, then took in the sight of Alexy, grumping half-asleep on a chair with his face bandaged, and then Carver- still unconscious- and the events of the night came back to him. And then he heard the screams. "Goddamnit," he swore quietly, "Felix, what's going on?" |

Josie stirred at the sound of fighting. It felt much like that night when a few friends somehow managed to scrape up enough money to watch some movie. It was about an alien invasion or something. She couldn't understand any of the weird technobabble for all it's worth, so she fell asleep after subconsciously bingeing on popcorn Ohhhh I never wanna see popcorn again .... Next time I'll spend my money on something less nausea-inducing ... But this definitely wasn't a movie. "What's goin' on?" Josie hopped out of bed suddenly and looked out the window, ignoring the temporary surge of vertigo. Are we getting in on the action already?? She was excited. But the excitement gradually turned to horror as the soldiers at the base are losing, and fast. A real sense of immediate danger rushed through her for the first time. --- As the major walked away from the vehicle, Gene altered his line of sight to follow him, until he was in danger of falling out and the major was most likely entering the building. He looked back at the remaining figure at the vehicle. She was wielding a spear, but she doesn't seem dangerous, at least while interacting with the major. Besides, he saw fit to leave her at the vehicle like that. Gene knows he shouldn't disturb strangers without being given command, but she was so far away, and he doesn't know what other supplied needed collecting ... He looked around to see if anyone was watching anyway before he scrunched up a piece of paperwork and threw it at the figure below. |

Alexy Jarred awake at the sound of the explosion, It took him a moment to realize that it wasn't a dream, he grunted ran a hand through his hair, got out of the chair and looked around, "West." he said with A commanding tone, "You still have the G17?" He asked as he went over tot he door and peeked outside, "I need to go and get My gear... but i'm not leaving you here undefended." He said trying to spot numbers and Armaments ------------------- Kida leaned forwards and ran her hand along the metal of the vehicle, Shivering slightly at the cold touch, 'yeesh, If it is alive its coldblooded' She thought to herself as she walked closer to the drivers seat window, She was wondering how to wake it up when something Small and papery hit her head, She hissed and spun around pointing the spear in the direction of the offending paper, her eyes darting around until she spotted him, She huffed and stood up straight, Adjusting her cloak, Grumbling and picking up a rock, giving a sly smile and tossing it up and down in her hand, |

Felix looked over towards West, who had come out of the sleep he was in. Though he wasn't at all pleased with that, there wasn't anyway anyone would be able to sleep with such commotion going on. "I.. I think we're under attack," was all he seemed to mutter out. There was a rising fear growing in his stomach as it tightened up anxiously. He'd never seen combat of any sort, especially something like this. He was always sure that the bases were suppose to be safe. Yet, tonight seemed all wrong, just all too wrong. He soon turned to look at Josie, who's mood also seemed to chance very quickly. Then, over towards Alexy. Why was he asking if West still had that gun of his? Westlake was a doctor, would he even be able to shoot a man rather than save one? It wasn't that he questioned his ability to shoot one, but it just seemed ironic for a healer to do such a thing. The chaos outside continued outside, loud sounds of guns and yelling throughout the base. One man stood amongst it, giving out orders to every man that didn't belong there. With the base's Amory having been the target of the explosion, weapons were certainly something that would be quite the hassle. That was a good thing, for the gang of course, no opposing weapons meant smooth sailing from then on. It was almost pleasuring in a way, for dear ol' Gavin, hearing the screams and pleas of others. This was certainly what he was born to do. |

Westlake furrowed his brow in confusion when Felix told him that they were under attack, "Attacked? What? But. Here? Are you certain?" Wes was scared, but not overtly so. While he hadn't seen any proper combat, he had been in life-threatening situations a few times. "Felix, get away from the window. Someone might see you and come and try to kill us." Then Alexy was addressing him, asking about the gun and West paled at the memory of his earlier encounter with Carver. "I-I gave it to you," he replied. "It's there." He flailed a hand to the little wheeled tray next to Alexy, where the gun sat. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach, all too aware what Alexy was about to ask, and not too certain which idea he hated most: having to use the G17 on people, or Alexy going out there alone. The thought occurred to him, to go with Alexy, there was probably wounded outside that needed his help, but he wasn't about to abandon Felix. Or Carver- Ass or not, the man was still a patient, and what sort of doctor would he be, if he abandoned his patients. Edited by Rob, Apr 11 2014, 12:51 PM.

Is he the only one of us with a gun? Josie thought as the corporal confirmed with the doctor before heading off for his gear. It briefly occurred to her to get her own, but remembered she hasn't been issued any gear, or at least anything that'll be useful in this fray. Do we really stand a chance against them if they come this way? She glanced towards the doctor, to the nurse, to the other soldier with the devastated foot. --- Gene watched curiously as the figure reacted to his attack, and was a little startled as she noticed him and appeared to grab something with the full intent of throwing it. His expression melted back into a grin, all else forgotten, as he found himself waving back with a sheet of paperwork, which he folded into an aeroplane and aimed it towards the vehicle. |

Alexy ducked and Wheeled the tray over to West with his foot, "Remember what i taught you, you just have to stay calm" Alexy said Looking at him, "And if someone comes in here, and you don't recognize them, squeeze the trigger," He nods and looks out the door, "Can you do that?" Alexy said Looking for an opening in the Chaos. |
