*After several minutes of searching, the biting cold starts to seep into the multiple layers of the two Tactical Personnel. It seems to be interminable, but suddenly they come upon a large valley to the south of the Facility. It is within a fair hike, but would effectively disguise the presence of the Shuttles from the Facility.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 30-Mar-21 07:31 PM

*Senior Chief Hathcock holds up his gloved fist and takes a knee. He then double clicks his mic button.*

Lt. JG Aawe Elu 30-Mar-21 07:33 PM

*Aawe quickly dropped down on one knee, her head jerking from one side to the other* "Enemies? Where?" *She hissed, a bit of panic in her voice*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 30-Mar-21 07:36 PM

*Senior Chief Hathcock shook his head and pointed at the ground.* "Ell-Zee." *Was all he said.*

Lt. JG Aawe Elu 30-Mar-21 07:40 PM

"Oh good" *She said and sighed loudly, pulling out her PADD and signalling the shuttle that they found a suitable location*

*After several long minutes, with snowfall covering the tracks of the two Tactical Personnel guarding the Landing Zone, there was still no sign of the Shuttles. It had been a silent wait, the old Marksman had not said much to the young Bajoran Lieutenant. Then again, he rarely did say much.* *Suddenly, and without any noise to announce it's presence, the Shuttle Artemis breaks through an opening in the mountain to the north of the Landing Zone.*

Ensign Terzom Vax 30-Mar-21 08:13 PM

*Vax put on the internal brakes, mostly him trying not to speed the shuttle through the valley. Slowing the shuttle to a halt, he landed the shuttle, a slight bumb on the ground, then going from the cockpit to the exit, he pressed the button, peering his head out of the shuttle, looking over at Lieutenant Elu* "Well hello there, I heard someone requested a pickup."

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 30-Mar-21 08:15 PM

*The old Senior Chief gave a thumbs up to the Pilot and disappeared back into the forest at the edge of the clearing, heading north towards the sniper hide. He clicked his mic twice again.*

Narrator BOT 30-Mar-21 08:21 PM

*Kalena has been an excellent pilot thus far. In fact if she really wanted to she could fly this shuttle with her eyes closed, sleeping in fact. Of course she’s a much more responsible pilot so she warns the rest of the crew that the landing zone is in sight and she’s taking them down. The shuttle easily floats down and kicks up some snow before touching ground.*

Lt. JG Aawe Elu 30-Mar-21 08:27 PM

*Elu quickly entered the shuttle, shaking off some snow on her clothing and pulling off her gloves. Sighting in relieve to be out of the cold. She greeted the pilot with a small nod and sat down, pulling out her PADD to work on the cameras once more, relaying the information to the Ship in orbit*

Ensign Terzom Vax 30-Mar-21 08:31 PM

"Hey! I just cleaned the carpet!" *Vax laughed and closed the door inside of the shuttle.*

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Mar-21 08:31 PM

*he hops out and looks around, keeping his profile low* *"Snow whereever you look"*

Lt. Girak Mayott 30-Mar-21 08:35 PM

*He walks out and is hit by the biting cold as feet crunch against the hard surface. “Oh mylanta! It’s freezing here! Why couldn’t Alaska have been a nice warm humid jungle!? It has to be cold, always cold!” Of course all this was said in his head as he adjusted his coat and waited for the rest of his team to get out.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 30-Mar-21 08:37 PM

*Once outside, she stepped to the side and let her own scanners and sensors take readings, using her advanced optics to see what it could see and her audio systems to hear what it could hear. She monitored the full spectrum of readings, waiting for Caleb to do whatever he was going to do, so she could become his 255 lbs shadow.* (edited)

Lt. JG Vos BOT 30-Mar-21 08:40 PM

*He exited the shuttle and went to join up with Mayott, back to a taciturn silence again.*

Lt. JG Aawe Elu 30-Mar-21 08:40 PM

*Elu chuckled back at Vax and smiled warmly at him* "Sorry, Im just glad to be out of this cold"

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Mar-21 08:41 PM

*he walks over to mayott and stands behind him*

*The clearing is calm, the sound of the Shuttles idling being the only thing to disturb the bucolic frozen scene. The large clearing was spacious enough to fit both Shuttles and have space for one to spare. To the North and East were the mountains and a Valley that Shuttle Artemis had traversed. To the South and West were trees, the large coniferous sort. A set of tracks could be seen/sensed showing two tracks, one heading up to the Artemis, one had turned around and tracked they way the footprints had came from, into the Mountains to the north.*

Ensign Amatea Janaii 30-Mar-21 08:46 PM

*Mattie stepped out and readjusted the bun she wore at the nape of her neck, ensuring that she covered her face to keep from frostbite as blue eyes hunted around the perimeter as she walked over to the group. She was most definitely flushing her mind of all the fevered thoughts in order to focus on the mission, focus. This was important, and lives were at stake.* (edited)

Narrator BOT 30-Mar-21 08:54 PM

*Based on the Mission Planning, the Team Leaders would be aware that the plan is for Ghost to meet up with Spectre, to the North, and enter the complex through the Helipad. Meanwhile, Banshee could travel to the West through the forest to find the unobtrusive Road that could be followed to the North to get to the Facility from the ground.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 30-Mar-21 08:56 PM

*To that notion, Arian would closely shadow Caleb and await orders, taking readings continually.*

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Mar-21 08:57 PM

*he adjusted his footing a bit and is ready to follow girak once he starts moving*

Lt. Girak Mayott 30-Mar-21 09:06 PM

“Alright lets head out.” *He walked over heading to the base checking to make sure Ghost was following.*

Lt. Jason Isker 30-Mar-21 09:07 PM

*he follows him like a duckling the mother duck*

Lt. JG Vos BOT 30-Mar-21 09:07 PM

*Vos followed along, fanning out to the side slightly to keep an eye out.*

Narrator BOT 30-Mar-21 09:08 PM

*The members of Ghost Team head North, into the Mountains, following the trail left by Senior Chief Charles Hathcock, who is waiting at the treeline leading up the mountain to escort them back to the makeshift sniper hide in #mountains.*

Narrator BOT 30-Mar-21 10:51 PM

*As the wind whipped around the Landing Zone, the duty of taking point for Banshee fell to the enhanced Security Officer, Lieutenant(JG) Arian Rhosyn as dictated by the silent hand signals of the bulky ACTO.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 30-Mar-21 10:53 PM

*She nodded in acknowledgement, disengaged the safety features of her rifle, and pressed ahead to #road-entrance* (edited)

Ensign Amatea Janaii 30-Mar-21 10:57 PM

*Mattie nodded in understanding and quickly followed behind Arian, adjusting her medic bag and trudging forth.*

Narrator BOT 30-Mar-21 10:58 PM

*All members of Banshee Team follow the two intrepid females as they blaze a path through the woods to the aforementioned road.*

Narrator BOT 31-Mar-21 10:38 PM

*The Chief Petty Officer in charge of demolitions for Spectre pops out of the woods and into the clearing where Shuttle Apollo is idling, waiting patiently for the beleaguered combatants.*

Ensign Kano Extretus 31-Mar-21 11:07 PM

Kano bounded up, easily passing Slab once the LZ and shuttles came into view, already calling out for anyone in the ship to help as he leapt over to the #shuttle-apollo with his friend, Amatea. *”Keep hanging out with me, Janaii, and who knows, maybe I’ll make sure that scenario happens.”* He jested back at her even as he handed her over.

Narrator឵ BOT 31-Mar-21 11:09 PM

#shuttle-apollo's hatch is open and waiting if they want to enter.

Ensign Amatea Janaii 31-Mar-21 11:18 PM

*She huffed awkwardly as she was jostled, trying to stave off the stinging pain with laughter, but it still hurt.* "I'll hold you to that."

Narrator BOT 31-Mar-21 11:47 PM

*Second Squad comes bursting through the treeline with Senior Chief Hathcock and Sa'val in the rear, covering their retreat. The squad fans out around the Shuttle.* *Sa'val took a knee at the ramp and ordered everyone to fold into the Shuttle in an organized manner. This time Second Squad starts, one by one. Followed by First Squad. Then Arian, Caleb, Hathcock, and finally Sa'val. The door closed once he was aboard.*
