"Get up troopers, what are you a bunch of Brotherhood Paladins... No your Enclave Troopers", after hearing that from Cpt. Smith, Pvt. John got up, still a bit dizzy, but he quickly regained his senses when he heard gunshots again and remembered he was in a battlefield.

I will survive this...

Pvt. John got ready quickly and gone nearby both captains, he stood up there with his head and chest up, proud, waiting for his new orders.

I will show him that I am a real Enclave Trooper!

Kyle noticed the first trooper to get up, he had seen him on the ride over -real Gung-Ho. He got a feeling that he could trust this soldier during a mission.

He got up and went to grab a crate, mortars still landing around the perimeter.

Captain Smith looked at his new recruits after they finished unloading the last couple supply crates, "Ok everyone follow me, the Chow Hut is this way", the captain walked down a small dirt path that gave them a veiw of the battlefield, the bodies of the looted Brotherhood Paladins and Knights along with some burned out rebels, could be seen on the road that lead to the town. The captain looked back at the recruits pointing to a small trench that guarded the left flank of the Enclave Outpost, "We'll be stationed there tonight, its one of the heaviest attacked postions in the area, so you need to watch every where!", the Captain walked into the Chow Hut, where a man served them some kind of yao guai meat along with a crusty mirelurk cake on the side, the captain sat at a table along with the new recruits who seemed grossed out by the food, "Dont worry, now that we have some fresh supplies, this will be the last time that you have food like this for awhile, so enjoy it", the captain turned his attension back to the old crusty food that was infront of him, I missed this place...

Malik stood on the wall of the encampment looking out over the city as the next round of mortars came in.

Don't they ever run out of those things??

"Sergeant , anything from the eyebots to report?"
A sergeant nearby with a wrist computer looks up at the Captain. "Nothing to report as of yet."

Malik nods at the Sergeant and continues his inspection of the defensive line.
So few recruits this time. We only got 4 this time around and everyone of them is green, figures.
The night had deepened and it was getting closer to relief time. Captain Cyris looked back toward the Vertibird and saw that the supplies had been offloaded and Smith was rounding the new recruits out. The supply team had begun cataloging and storing the supplies.

I swear if they messed up again like last time. Logistics was the hard part about the military, and it wasn't uncommon to get either shorted on your supplies or get something that belonged to a different base all together.
Last time they sent us Site 47's Yau Guai deterrent. Granted Landmines were great to have, but when the only place to put them was in the path of your own troops, well... not so affective. Someone over in 2nd platoon on the otherside of the base had found a good use for them though. On a Vertibird flyby they dumped the boxes of them armed out the back. Aparently it caused some supply issues for the BoS. You only get lucky once though.

Another round of Mortars fired blindly whistled through the night and blew up an old newspaper stand 40feet away on the otherside of the barricade..
Malik sighed and went back to checking on his men.

After grabbing his food, kyle sat down at and old metal table with the other recruits....

They talked about where they had come from and other things like that just to try get the nervousness out about what they had to do later.....

He looked down at the crap they had gotten and forced it down and continued talking to the other recruits.

As the night came, and the captain along with the recruits finished eating, Captain Smith walked out with his recruits towards Captain Cyris who was watching the perimiter, "So any news with the eyebots?", Smith looked around with his old binoculars he had found while on patrol, he listened to what his friend and equal had to say...

"Nothing but blind Mortar fire for now. The eyebots haven't spotted anything so they must be lobbing them pretty far, hence the shoddy accuracy." Malik turns to look at Smith, "So anything promising from those in there??"

A zing flys in between the two Captains. Neither of them flinch they simply turn their heads and step behind two pillars standing nearby.

That's new..

One of the front line man calls out "Sniper 2nd building 4th back!" One of the Gatling Units opens up unleashing Laser hell down on the abandoned motel building windows. After acouple seconds a body falls from the window crashing into a already destroyed car.

"The rebels are getting a little more brazen too, something must be up." Malik notes to Smith. The two Captains are again interrupted, this time by a large woosh followed by a large explosion dead center of the defenses.

"You know what that's rude, I'm trying to have a conversation here!!" Malik yells out toward the offending troops and walks towards the front line. "Give me that!" Captain Cyris is handed a large missle launcher by one of the soldiers. "If your going to shoot one of those at me you better hit me.." The captain mutters to himself as he takes aim on a nearby building. He sees the rebel duck back in the building, it's a rickety old thing. Malik moves the sight from the window the enemy was in to one of the core supports. He flicks the safety off and fires, he's rocked back by the force and the projectile goes screaming off into the darkness. A bright light and a loud boom later, the building begins to fall in on itself. If you listen closely you can hear a faint screaming coming from the now pile of rubble.

"Glad to be back are ya?" Malik asks Smith as he hands the missle launcher back to the soldier.

Smith looks at Malik with an old friendly smirk, "Yeah I was starting to miss this place... I think I'll take the new recruits to our trench over there...", the captain points to the trench as the sound of mortar's comes flying over head wildly, exsploding some where out in the wasteland. Smith looks at his squad of recruits, "Ok were going to be moving out, so be ready for anything, I want complete silence if I hear one voice I swear I'll kill you!", smith looks down at a enclave trooper working on his old radio, "Trooper your with me, I'll need you", the trooper looks up knoding at the order, smith looks back at malik, "Call if you need anything:, smith says sarcasticly, and quickly jumps over the barricade kneeling down, he rushes to the trench...

Pvt. John sat down with Cpt. Smith and the other recruit and started to eat that strange wasteland meat. Then he said, to the other recruit
"What's your name by the way?, we have been together for a day and we don't know our names. I am John."
After finished eating, he followed Cpt. Smith to the trench.

No moments of peace here, but at least moments of opportunities.

They finnaly reached the trench...

Everyone seemed too damn chipper to him. At least that's what Rude thought as he swallowed God knows what down his throat. He kept quiet as most of the others shared their entire past, present, and future with the group. He figured he didn't want to get too close to anyone if his last vision of them would be that of their corpse lying next to him on the battlefield.

His leg itched, and he couldn't exactly reach under the armor of his leg to scratch it. Luckily for him, the Enclave forged men into cold, hardened steel, and his leg could itch forever if it wanted to ... he was trained to not let it affect him. Just like pain. He didn't learn his lesson of ignoring pain from the Enclave, though it was certainly one of their favorite subjects, that lesson came after enough years in wasteland hell.

Placing his helmet back on his head, Rude grabbed his plasma rifle and stood up from the table. He followed the others to where the captain led them.

Smith and the recruits along with the radio man, hopped into the trench, it was'nt very roomie, at least for someone in Power Armor, the trench had a long step, that you'd stand on to fire at the enemy. The captain looked his squad of recruits, who seemed to be a little uncomfurtable with the room, "Dont worry, your going to have to get used to it, because this will be your home for the next three weeks, so until then, we are on constant alert, two man watches, switch off watches every five hours, I think the Chow Hut is that room over there...", smith points to a hole in the wall of the trench, "The barracks is where ever you want it to be, but the room with the beds is that hole right there...", smith points to another room, that has a small curtain on it, "Are there any questions?"...

Captain Cyris watched as Smith and his band of green soldiers took out toward the outer trenches.

Atleast their in good hands.

The Captain turned to one of his nearby soldiers. "I'm going to get some shuteye for acouple minutes before the next attack. Keep me posted on Captain Smith's progress out there."

"Yes Sir!" the soldier saluted and walked off. Malik found a comfy spot against some rubble ... and closed his eyes for acouple minutes.

That couple minutes quickly turned into acouple hours. He was awakened by the whistle of incoming mortar fire and a soldier shaking his shoulder.
"Captain! Smith's team is under attack they're getting hit hard, should we mobilize a unit?"

Malik shook off the cobwebs in his head. How long was I out?

"Not yet, why would they attack the left flank trenches?? Get me a radio link to Smith." The soldier ran off to comply with his order and Captain Cyris approached another soldier. "I told you to keep me posted what happened??" The soldier looked down dejectedly at the Captains feet. "You looked like you needed the rest Sir.." Malik tilted his head for a second then put a hand on the soldiers shoulder. "Don't worry about it, it's fine. Go ahead back to your post." Captain Cyris jogged up to the top of the battlements and the soldier carrying the radio reached his position. Malik took the radio com and dialed it out "Smith, Smith you read me?? It's Malik, what the hell is going on down there, over! You read me Smith??"

"No Sir" kyle responded and went to grab a bunk. He grabbed a bottom bunk and stashed his bag in his footlocker. He didn't have much but a few photos and some parts for his 1903. He noticed john took the bed next to him. He saw the guy who was even quieter them him, atleast Kyle told people his name, take the bed about a bunk over.
He grabbed his weapon and headed to the trench. It was cold but it didn't bother him and he ate some cold beans while watching the wasteland ahead of him...

OOC: Am going to sleep so you can just put me on guard duty or something.

EDIT: Nevermind looks like we got a battle.

Captain Smith awoke with the sound of mortar and gunfire, as he jumped up from his bed, he saw his squad getting into their gear, luckly smith always slept in his Tesla Power Armor, "Ok boys, this is it your "Baptism of fire, get suited up and meet me outside. Smith rushed outside realizing that Pvt. John and Pvt. Kyle were already firing at the oncoming brotherhood and rebels, Smith hopped up onto the step, standing inbetween both of the troopers, he quickly drew his plasma rifle from his back, and looked at the oncoming horde, "How long has this attack been going on?"...

The radio man walked up to Captain Smith holding the radio's microphone to him, "Hello, Who the hell is this?"...

OCC: Just to let everyone know, this is the time to tell what your character is doing during the battle, and no one better be a hero.

"Sir, I saw a smalll wave of skirmishers about five minutes ago, a couple shots and we drove them off real fast, thought it was just a probing action"
"I saw some men forming up near those ruins, when the mortars hit"

He began to fire his rifle at the slow moving wave, the rest of the squad formed up and began shooting back. A few men went down but the squad kept firing and holding them back. The attackers were leapfrogging behind cover up the hill. He dropped a few but more came, and they were slowly gaining a superiority of fire over the squad. He sent a round through a Paladin's shoulder, crippling him. About 10 minutes later a round deflected into Kyle's Helmet, sending debris, metal and glass into the side of his face. He chucked his helmet off and continued to fire downrange...

Rude noticed Kyle tossing his helmet away and returning fire to the enemy. He moved next to him, grabbing a grenade from his waste, pulling off the pin and tossing it towards a small group of rebels. Though it met its target, and killed a few rebels, Rude was not satisfied. The rebels were not armored, their weapons were pathetic compared to the Brotherhood's. He would rather the grenade had met with a few of them instead, but he took what he could get.

As he pulled out his plasma rifle and took a shot or two towards a BOS soldier, he told Kyle his name. "Rude. My name is Rude."

*static*"Damit Smith, what's your situation down there?"*static*

Suddenly rounds started tinging off the barrier wall and Captain Syris' armored shoulder. He ducked his head down behind the wall and clicked his helmet into place. "Unit 1 and 4 will Fire at will on oncoming soldiers, Unit 2 and 3 open fire when Unit 1 and 4 reload! FIRE!" Unit's 1 and 4 opened fire into the oncoming BoS members. The Gatling Lasers and newly aquired Plasma munitions soared down the road toward the enemy. Taking cover the enemy returned fire on the battlements. A derelict car on the right side of the street took fire and soon erupted into a mini nuclear cloud. Captain Cyris stood amongst his troops.

*static* "Smith, you copy? Cr*p is this thing broken?" *static*

*Static* "We are under heavy fire from Brotherhood Knights and Rebels..." Smith drops the walkie-talkie as a bullet zings right by his head, he quickly looks over the trench firing at an oncoming Knight and rebel, "Eat this A**HOLES", the captain grabs the microphone holding it up to his mouth, *Static* "We can hold them though, whats your situation *Static*, Smith see's Pvt. "Rude" throw a grenade wildly and firing into the oncoming group, "DAMN IT PRIVATE, TAKE A BREATH AND THEN SHOOT AND THAT GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU", smith holds up the walkie-talkie waiting for a responce from Captain Cyris...

OCC:This is still time for the rest of you to post what your character is doing during the battle

Rude and Kyle continued to shoot downrange and throw some grenades a a group of knights the grenades were off the mark. Kyle's aim was starting to go erratic when the Captain got him to calm down. He slowly pulled the trigger netting a few more rebels and incapacitating a Knight taking shots at the captain. Then an explosion knocks him back, he thinks the worst when he can't move for several moments but he soon rises up and continues firing...

*static* "[censored] IT PRIVATE, TAKE A BREATH AND THEN SHOOT, AND THAT GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU", *static*

Sounds like he's having fun..

Firing a few rounds over the barricades with his laser rifle, Malik takes up the radio again. *static* "We're getting hit pretty hard on this end too, nothing we can't handle. Let me know if you want reinforcements I'll send Unit 3 they are the strongets at the moment. over. " *static*

"Unit 2 watch your rate of fire your overheating the Gatling Lasers!" Captain Cyris shouts down to his troops. " Lieutenant ?! Get me the sniper unit that's in reserve. I've got an idea!" -BOOM- A mortar blows a chunk out of the wall about a foot below Malik's position.

"War never changes" Malik mumbles to himself and opens fire on a rebel attempting to cross the street, cutting him down.

Rude covers Kyle as he returns to the action. He also takes that breath that his captain ordered him to take. A bullet hit him in the shoulder and another explosion went off near where they were standing. Another bullet hit his shoulder. Through the dirt flying everywhere and the yelling, he couldn't find the new friend he made ... yet.

More bullets pinging off of his armor. It was starting to piss him off. There. It was a BOS soldier hiding behind a small group of barrels. Not very smart, but then again, the soldier was hitting his mark multiple times, so he had to give him credit for that much. After giving the soldier that credit, he also gave him a few rounds of plasma.

Seeing some rebels off in the distance, he aimed towards them and proceeded to pull the trigger. To his surprise, nothing was coming out of his plasma rifle. "You've got to be ******* kidding me." Rude dropped the rifle, ducked down low and made his way to a dead soldier, slumped over dead on the ground, still clutching his rifle.

Rude removed the rifle from the soldiers grip, quietly thanked him for his sacrifice, and hauled ass back to his spot, returning fire at the rebel's new position.

Captain Smith hands the radio man the walkie-talkie as he turns his attension back onto the battle, "Ok boys keep holding them off, we'll have them on the run in no time", the captain looks around spotting a rebel charging towards him with a lead pipe, the sound of his plasma rifle echoes into his ears as the charging rebel falls to the ground crying out to another rebel, who is also shot by captain smith. Smith looks around once more, on a hill near the trench Captain Smith spots a small group of Paladins charging towards them, "RUDE OPEN FIRE ON THAT GROUP OF PALADINS!", smith only has a second too think, God I missed this.

Smith takes a breath as a charging Knight rushes to the aid of one of his fallen comrads, Smith quickly takes aim firing two shots at the Knight, who exsplodes all over his fallen comrade in a thick green goo, "Take that you S.O.B's, there's more where that came from", smith ducks down behind the trench reloading his Plasma Rifle, quickly returning fire on the charging horde...

Kyle turns to face the group of paladins facing the captain and opens up. One paladin falls to a shot in the neck and he gets a Paladin in the arm, tearing it off.
A few raiders charged at him, he killed two and was about to get the thid when his gun jams. The rebel, with a clear shot brings his stogub up and is about to shoot when John drills him through the head. Kyle quickly ducks to unjam his gun......

Freeing the bolt he begins firing into the charging horde, which seems to be the last gasp of the attack.

Rude obeys Captain Smith and picks off one of the Paladins with a shot to the groin. Every hit to a BOS was an "I miss you." to his dead family. He showed how badly he missed them when he took down another one who stumbled like an ass over the other one who was holding his groin, both of them falling down the hill.

A heavy bout of Mortar fire drills down on both Smith and Malik's defensive positions. Malik radio's in to Smith *static* "Hey Smith, keep your head down the Mortar fire is getting pretty heavy,but we got a report from the eyebots. It'll be over soon!"*static* Captain Cyris takes another couple of shots toward the BoS members hiding in the church opening. Suddenly another radio signal comes in *static* "Captain Cyris you read? Captain Cyris? Over" *static*

*static*"This is Cyris go ahead.."*static*

*static*"This is sniper team 2 we found the mortar team permission to engage? over" *static*

*static*"About dam time sniper team 2. You have a green light begin operation.."*static*

*static* "Roger that taking the shots... bang, bang, bang *static*

"static* Captain, we have a problem.. We can't reach the second mortar team, there's a good size force in the way. Got any detachments in our area??" over. *static*

Only one...

*static* I'll see what I can do. Stay tight Cyris out" *static*

Malik taps his finger on the radio for acouple seconds then calls the only squad in the area close enough to make a difference..

*Static* "Smith you read me? I've got a plan in effect to cancel that Mortar fire. It should be lessened on you a bit but the sniper team can't get into position on the 2nd mortar squad. There is a large force between them. Your the only squad close enough... " *static*

OOC- I'm getting ready for bed so we can leave it at this or you can continue and finish up its up to you I'll wait for the next couple posts then I'll be going to bed just putten it in this post so I dont have to make another.
