IC-GOLD-Martial Law(Gregor/Jason/Carolyn/Peter)

A new day dawns, and with it new horrors. Tensions are rising at Warren Air Force Base, where traitors lurk behind the scenes and the fate of the world may be at stake. A daring mission to Montana is launched, where an isolated ranch receives new visitors - and trouble. In Omaha, the zombie menace seems to be over. The few surviving law enforcement personnel attempt to restore order, but criminals are not going to make it easy for them. Preparations for evacuation are underway at Brooks High School, and a dangerous new threat lurks.

IC-GOLD-Martial Law(Gregor/Jason/Carolyn/Peter)

Post by Mr. Handy »

Z-Day + 1 - 7:00 AM Mountain Time - Warren Air Force Base, west of Cheyenne, Wyoming
In the storage room-
Airman First Class Gregor Cross led his squad of MPs into the storage room in the basement of the armory. Normally he wouldn't be in command of a squad, but their usual leader Staff Sergeant Larry Dauterive had been detailed to another unspeciifed assignment. He had just met the rest of his squad: Airman Jason Baker, Airman Carolyn Wagner, and Airman Peter McBain. An MP officer, Lt. Laura Wyatt, had briefed them on their mission. A secret tunnel had been discovered last night leading from the armory basement to a warehouse located north of Cheyenne. It was believed that this tunnel had been used to smuggle weapons and other equipment out of Warren Air Force Base. Materiel had been disappearing for months, but how it had been happening had been a mystery with no apparent solution. None of the missing stuff had come from this particular room, which contained boots, belts, and backpacks stowed in crates, which might have explained why the tunnel was never found until now. The carefully concealed secret door stood open, revealing a tunnel stretching off into the distance, lit by occasional light bulbs in its ceiling. Gregor's squad's mission was to follow this tunnel to its end and search for evidence of who within the base was responsible for the thefts.

In the storage room-
"Hell yeah!" cheered Peter McBain, also drawing his pistol and chambering the first round. The huge bear of a man not only was built like Gregor, he had a similar attitude and looked like he was raring to go.

"You got it," said Jason Baker, nodding. The young black man had a grim expression on his face as he took out his gun as well.

"Right," said Carolyn Wagner. The short-haired woman drew her gun as well.

"What are we waiting for?" asked McBain. "Let go get 'em!"

In the tunnel-
Gregor led his squad into the tunnel. Not far into it was a set of tracks heading down it into the distance. They began at a stopper, against which rested a handcar that could be used to traverse the length of the tracks. It could fit the four of them. A lever jutted out of the ground next to the wall in which the secret door was set. It looked like a railway switch.

In the tunnel-
Pulling the lever caused the secret door to the storage room to shut.

The squad got onto the handcar and pumped the handles, and the car started moving along the tracks quickly. It was faster than walking, and about ten minutes later the tracks came to an end at another stopper. A steep flight of stairs led upwards, and a switch was set into the wall at the base of the stairs.
OOC,Please don't forget to post for your other characters too.

OOC: will do.

IC: Gregor Says "alright people, rides over." as he jumps off the handcar and flips the switch "Keep sharp. stairs are not my favorite combat ground for a reason. you get choke pointed, and you have to fight upwards with no cover if you get caught in combat on em"

In the shipping container-
The squad proceeded carefully up the stairs, though caution proved to be unnecessary. Gregor and his squadmates found themselves inside a long, metallic chamber. From its size and shape, it appeared to be a standard shipping container. It was empty except for the hatch in its floor through which they had emerged. When closed, it would be difficult to see, but it had been left open. The shipping container itself was closed; the door was at the far end. It was also dark, though enough light came from the tunnel below to see.

Jason Baker entered the shipping container, gun drawn but down, and squinted through the dim light....

Looks deserted... He thought.

He moved with the rest of the squad and thought he could make out a door at the far end....

From what he could tell, the container was empty. He waited tentatively for Cross to make an order but was uneasy....McBain was not an individual he felt comfortable with and the suggestive comments he made during the weapons search of the young, traumatized ladies seemed to only prove how much of an insensitive jerk he was...that, and a glare McBain gave him the night before during a friendly game of poker and a loss...

Baker was torn. I shouldn't pre-judge...

He snapped back to attention and tried to focus....

However, he had a bad feeling about this...

...Two guys built like bears with a similar attitude....I hope Cross isn't a hothead like McBain...

Baker's mind wandered...He remembered watching repeats of Star Trek, as a kid, with his older brother cracking wise about the security officer in the red shirt who always died first on missions...

The memory forced Baker to stifle a laugh...then the hair on his neck stood up and he resisted an urge to double-check his MP uniform...

Baker shook his head... I must be losing it...

In the shipping container-
Gregor Cross made hand signals for Jason Baker to take point and open the shipping container.
OOC,[b]Gregor[/b]'s player has been absent for a couple of weeks, so I'll run him as an NPC until his player returns. Whoever posts first, please give me a group Luck roll on 1d100. The number you're looking for is the average of everyone's Luck scores or less. Since all four of your Luck scores add up to 205, the average is 51.25, so you want to get a 51 or less.

Jason Baker nodded at Cross and began to slowly side-step towards the door at the end of the dimly-lit container...The previous bout of nostalgia doing nothing to ease the anxiety he had been feeling since he went on the mission...

Suddenly, Baker stopped...

I've been walking through here like an untrained civilian....What if the smugglers wired the place up?

Baker took a deep breath. He was a few feet from the door and could just make out the lever to open it. He began to scan for any sign of a trap. His eyes also darted to the floor, looking for any potential trip-wire....
OOC,I would be trying a Spot Hidden here looking for any evidence of a booby trap but before rolling, I was wondering if there would be any penalty due to the poor lighting? Thanks.

OOC,You've got a flashlight. No penalty if you use it. Feel free to go ahead and roll.

Baker remembered his flashlight and switched it on, shining it on the door in front of him, as well as at his feet, checking for any traps or trip-wires...

Jason Baker panned the door and floor in front of him with his flashlight...

Suddenly, he bolted upright...

What if I stepped over one by luck...?!

He signaled the squad behind him to stop and scanned the ground he had just traversed as well.....to be safe...

In the shipping container-
The rest of the squad waited while Jason searched the container and the door at the end thoroughly. He found nothing of note.

Jason Baker saw no sign of a trap and gave a "thumbs up" to the rest of the squad...

Jason inhaled deeply and approached the door of the container...

Here goes nothing....

He grabbed the lever and opened the door of the container...
OOC,If the lever requires two hands, I'll have to holster my gun to perform this action. If not, I'm drawn and ready with the rest of the squad.

In the warehouse-
The interior of the warehouse was illuminated by overhead fluorescent lights, and it appeared to be deserted. Neatly arranged stacks of shipping containers and crates covered much of the floor, though unlike the container from which the squad emerged, which was flush with the floor, the other containers rested on wooden slats. The front door was blocked by a shipping container, which had apparently been deposited into place by an overhead crane that hung from the ceiling directly above it. There was a large garage door next to the smaller door that was not blockaded, but it was closed. There was also a metal stairway on the left wall of the warehouse leading up to an office in the upper left corner that overlooked the floor with several windows.
