IC-OVER-The Hangar(Diane/Rick/Bernard/Lucy)

As the afternoon gets underway, the survivors from the T-Bone have been split up. The helicopter group must land at an airfield halfway to Omaha for refueling. Those still on the surface try desperately to defend the motel, while those trapped underground fight for their lives as they search for a way out.

In the hangar-
"How many does it hold?" wondered Rick aloud. "It depends. An NSP patrol helicopter can hold up to five, but a medevac chopper is pretty big and can seat nine."

The helicopter that Dr. Smith had seen was fairly small and looked like it would only seat the five people who had arrived in it.

"Oh, I can make this baby fly," said Lucy. "And I'm sure Rick can fly it. The plan sounds good to me."

"Me too," said Rick. "Give Lucy the keys to the hangar so she can get back inside if she has to come back. Let's go."

In the hangar-
The four people in the hangar gathered their things and left through the back door.

(I won't be updating your characters' locations on the thread that keeps track of them for now, so the others don't know where you are. Repair work has stopped temporarily, but those who succeeded at Mechanical Repair rolls won't need to roll again when you resume. You've been working for 13 minutes so far, and it will take all three of the mechanics about another 47 minutes to finish if they work together.)

Outside the hangar-
Lucy locked the hangar door as Diane Ford fished out the keys to her cruiser and unlocked it. She got into the driver's seat, Rick got in the shotgun seat, and Bernard and Lucy got in the back. Diane started up the car and began to drive to the east.

"You two are now officially deputies of the Nebraska State Police," she called back, "so I'd better swear you in quick. Do you swear to uphold the laws of the State of Nebraska, to serve and to protect, yada yada yada?"

(Everyone roll Listen.)

"Deputy Smith? I'll stick to Doctor thanks all the same" joked Bernard nervously. "Maybe we...." started Dr Smith, but he froze, thinking he had heard a something he held his hand up to the others in a gesture requesting silence.

East of the warehouses-
Dr. Smith heard the sound of a truck's engine to the south, coming from the approximate location of the helipad. The truck was just idling, however, and was not moving anywhere.

"The truck?" asked Diane as she drove eastwards. "Yeah, I heard it too. They must be using it to transport the fuel." She rounded the corner and headed south behind the row of warehouses. As they drove a rifle shot rang out, and after a pause a second one. She brought the patrol car to a halt behind Warehouse 1, the southernmost building. There was a small stretch of ground between it and Warehouse 2 to its north. The tower stood fifty yards west of the buildings.

Just then, everyone heard the sound of a fire alarm starting to ring. It was coming from the tower.

(Everyone roll Spot Hidden and Listen.)

Dr Smith was sure he heard another noise, but looking around he couldn't see anything.

Outside Warehouse 1-
Over the sound of rifle shots coming from the tower roof, Dr. Smith could hear voices coming from within the warehouse as the car approached. A deep male voice said: ""Did you hear that? Sounds like a car. It's coming from the north, slowly. Now it's stopping, right behind this warehouse."

Diane Ford peered out to the east across the open ground. "I see eight infected people about a mile east and closing fast!" she called. "There's also a dead one a ways back." Her eyes bulged. "Damn that sniper's good to be hitting them from this far out. She fired five shots so far, killing three and wounding a fourth! There's only six left, and one is lagging behind. At this rate there won't be any left to keep her distracted long. If we're going to rush the tower it's now or never. We've got less ground to cover from here, but she could see us if she looks down. Alternatively I could drive us back to the hangar and we can come at the tower from the north, but she might finish shooting before we reach it."

Behind the buildings-
Diane Ford took one last look at the rapidly approaching figures from the east, then pulled out and sped away to the north. "That sniper just missed the last two shots," she said, "so I think we've got time to get around the hangars and approach from the north. She won't hear this car over that fire alarm and the noise of her own shooting. I wonder why the alarm went off." With expert precision, she rounded the corner at high speed and shortly reached the north side of Hangar 1. "Shall we drive up to the base of the tower quickly, or do you want to approach on foot so we don't risk losing the advantage of surprise? She could hear the car, though that's less likely with that alarm, but she might also spot us if we run and have a chance to pick some of us off."

North of the tower-
"I say we take the car," said Rick. "With that fire alarm going off she's unlikely to hear us, and we haven't a moment to spare."

Neither Dr. Smith nor Lucy had chimed in with a suggestion, but Diane wasn't about to wait around any longer. She put the cruiser into gear and swung around the northwest corner of the hangar, heading south towards the tower. As they approached, they saw the flatbed truck parked near the helicopter, its engine running. A barrel of jet fuel rested beside the chopper, hooked up to its fuel pump. Dr. Hausmann and Stephanie Bridges stood not far away. Both of them had their mouths sealed with duct tape, and Stephanie had her wrists taped together behind her back. Dr. Hausmann didn't, as she had a broken arm in a sling. In her good arm she carried a laptop. Nobody else was visible on the ground near the tower.

West of the tower-
Diane Ford pulled up right outside the main entrance to the tower without incident. "Okay, we're here," she said. "The sniper can't see us now. Let's all get inside fast. Rick, you and I will lead the way."

West of the tower-
Diane and Rick threw open their doors and sprang out, guns at the ready. "Stay behind us!" called Diane. "We're at the base of the tower now, so the sniper can't see us."

Rick waved to the women standing nearby. "Come on, get inside!" he called. "It's okay, we're here to help you, ladies!"

Stephanie hesitated and glanced up at the roof, but she couldn't tell if the sniper was watching. Dr. Hausmann looked too, then nodded to her assistant. Both of the scientists ran over to where the police car was parked. Diane and Rick entered the tower.

(Diane Ford and Rick Brenner are moving to this thread: Storming the Castle.

Everyone else, if you want to follow them, join them in that thread. If you remain outside the tower, keep posting in this one instead.)

West of the tower-
Stephanie tried to wriggle out of the duct tape binding her arms as she and Dr. Hausmann ran to the base of the tower, but she couldn't quite manage to loosen it.

Dr. Smith and Lucy got out of the car. "Come on, gals," said Lucy, "let's get inside fast!" They all entered the lobby through the shattered front entrance.
