James started to shrug it off, or tried to, it's not... It didn't go in, did it?" James asked Alaska before leaving the ODST. The rest of his squadmates climbed off and made their way to medical. James was hoping it wasn't so bad so he didn't have to remain out of combat too long.

Alaska: No, you'll be fine. Let the medic check you out though. Alaska helped Turner to the medical center.

"Oh it's ok, I think I can manage it. After all, it's just a bruise. Nothing too serious," the pain nagging at him, but James slowly getting used to it. He could already start rotating his arm in about 200 degree arcs.

[Hells Sniper]

Alaska: Just let the guy check you out...you did great out there, Lieutenant.

[Kairu]

"Will do, Sir, and thank you. For my first firefight with real life targets, I suppose I did do well. Best not get cocky though. And Sir? Thanks for the rescue." James began to walk away and follow the rest of his remaining squadmates to the medic.

[Hells Sniper]

Alaska nodded and walked away, leaving Turner and his team to rest.

James entered about a minute after the rest of his squad where he was greeted with a "not another one" statement. James sat down in a chair and explained, "I was just shot, but the ODST that rescued us checked and I guess it's just bruised a bit. Nothing serious. I'm hoping I don't have to stay too long, Sir." The medic checked it out and sure enough it was just badly bruised. He went to the icebox and grabbed a bag of ice. He propped it into James' armor. "Give it a few hours and the bruise should be almost good as new." James thanked the doctor and his squadmates and left the tent.

(Alright...just so I can say something: Always be clear where your character is. In my next post, I will demonstrate how to do this. The one difficulty with forum RP is positioning, and the clarity of the post. Most people are good with this, but the more information the better. Observe how I position my characters, with their location, and what they are doing.) Meanwhile: Captain Hayes was still on The King Raven, and was in his office, speaking with HAWK. Hayes was sitting behind his desk. HAWK: You wanted to see me Hayes? Hayes: Yes...HAWK...please come in...we need to have a chat. HAWK: Anything specific? Hayes: Well...I have been pouring over the ONI Information Net...learning what I can about The Trust. However...I get the feeling you know more about The Trust than ONI does. HAWK: You could say I have quite a few personal experiences with The Trust. I have butted heads a few times. Hayes: Compared with what you saw today...has The Trust ever done anything like this? HAWK: Never before has the Syndicate attacked a colony using naval force. That was never like them. The Trust preferred secrecy...and to all of a sudden make a move that is arms length away from a full-out declaration of war...never have I seen that before. However...The Trust has always possesed a mighty military fighting force. They recruit the bes of the best of the best in any field to do the dirty work of the syndicate...they recruit the best of the best to spy on their enemies...and they recruit the best to carry out every other task. Hayes: What about the Clones? I cannot imagine that cloning an army would be easy. HAWK: The Trust will always use clones to do direct dirty work. In fact...there was one time where they sent a very special clone after Anaconda and I. It was very disturbing... Hayes: Care to elaborate. HAWK: I prefer not to. Not only would it be pointless to get into details...but those details are...well...they hit very close to home. Hayes: I never imagined that Nighthawk had a soul to pierce... HAWK: Well...I am a computer generated program...but if I were Nighthawk...I would tell you that I am still human...and not much different than you are... Hayes folded his arms. Hayes: Theorize; what would The Trust do next? HAWK: Well...they are going to need resources. They stole a bunch of ships and they are going to need manpower, technology, and equipment to retrofit those ships. Hayes: So...they may go after J-2-Alpha...or even Midnight? I doubt they know about Tempus Fugit. That would have hit that area by now...and there is no external communications either...so they have no way to verify anything is there. HAWK: I think they would target somewhere that would be less defended than J-2-ALpha or Midnight. THose are military strongholds...not colonies. They would target a vulnerable, and solated colony for sure. They are vultures...they will attack the helpless... Meanwhile: The Ulterior Motive had regrouped with a large Trust taskforce. Kolya was on the bridge of his ship, with a few others. Damien: What is our next move Admiral? Kolya: Well...that remains to be seen. We need to find a target, and plan our next move. We don't have a target...yet. Black 1: Well...if I may be bold as to speak up...I would say we already have a course of action; retrofit the ships we stole. We need to find a way to do that. Kolya: Interesting point... Kolya paused. Kolya: Yates...what is the current situation with out shock troops? How many do we have? Damien: Enough to launch a full scale invasion of somewhere big...or enough to launch a shitload of smaller attacks, like the one on Atlas. Damien paused. Damien: My DNA donors are still on the Nightingale...they are still both willing to continue providing me what I need. I have been extracting stem cells from the cotton swabs as often as I can get them to hold still. In short...I can always make more. Kolya: Very, very good... Damien: I have another batch cooking as we speak. I am experimenting with heightened levels of aggravating neurochemicalsto...make them more angry...more violent...so far...I have promising results. I won't go into the details...but...well...I am very excited to see how much damage they can cause. Kolya grinned. Kolya: When will they be finished? Damien: An hour or so. Kolya took a drag of his cigarette. Black was deep in thought. Black 1: What about that Colony we tried to recruit a while back? Didn't ONI provide them with a TON of assets that we could use? What was that place called? Aurigae VI colony? Kolya shifted his eyes to Damien. Kolya:: Black 1 is right! Do we have any sleeper agents in that area? Kolya began to think. Kolya: Do we? Damien: I...think so. We must! Yes...we do! We should check up on them...see how ripe they are!

James took a deep breath of the air on Atlas. It wasn't perfect, but it was clearer than the recycled air that's standard on most ships. He took a few deep breaths, and the pain in his shoulder, mixed with the ice started to relieve itself. He walked over to the Base Camp's armory. He went in to get more ammo for his weapons. When he finished he picked up the battle rifle. He spent a couple moments with it in his hands, walking away going "Nah."

The Agents had since moved to the bar on the Crimson Shadow, each having only one beer or two. Jacob was, of course, having a scotch and coke. Jacob: Good first mission with all you I'd have to say though...well, first two. Carmicle: As you can tell, I am mostly the medical guy, but I can handle myself in a fight. Limos: And I am the techy. Jacob: And the rest of you are fighters, with a special style, I like it. We each have special skills that work well together. Folee: Agents normally work alone. Jacob nodded. Jacob: I would think Harrison would only want us working together on bigger assignments, so, we'd probably go on our own for a bit. The team nodded, and after a lull Jacob raised his glass. Jacob: To the fallen. The Agents hit their glasses together and drank.
