Corrective Labour Camp 234

[Cearlan]

The five of you stand on the threshold of the camp with the three MT-LBV's behind you. When there is a slight drop in the whirling snow, you can just about make out a silhouette of a building straight ahead of the gate. To the right of that is what could be a radio tower, though you cannot be certain with all the snow and ice blowing around. Behind the silhouette of the building in front of you is a massive pile of ... you cannot make out what it is, partly because of the snow flying around, but also because the pile is snow-covered.

[Mr. Handy]

"Maybe we should try the tower first," suggests Viktor. "There ought to be someone there at all times, though with everything else strange that's happened, who knows?"

[kabukiman]

-Yes, just hope they won't shoot us. After all, they aren't expecting anyone inside.

Melnikov slowly picks himself up from where the sudden blast had deposited him, his first instinct is to shake free any snow from Lara. With that accomplished he looks slowly around trying to pinpoint where the howling sound was coming from, while maintaining his cover of his advancing comrades.

If there are any sudden nasty suprises here he's damn sure the nastiest suprise will be on their attackers.

[DrPeterson]

Kozlov moves in the direction of the radiotower.

Secure the tower first, we'll look to the building after that.


He peers into the distance at the pile of whatever.

"And whatever the hell that is."

[Mr. Handy]

Viktor nods and follows the captain towards the tower, keeping alert.

[Cearlan]

As you go past the building, and as you near it you can see that it has a flagpole with the tattered remnants of the red banner of Mother Russia still aloft, though torn and ravaged by the weather conditions. There is a covered overhang at the front of the building with a raised platform large enough to accommodate two people.

As you get nearer the tower there is a eerie wailing sound, your past experience telling you that i is the wind blowing through the steel beams. Although you cannot see the top clearly, you 'guestimate', from the size of the base that the structure is over fifteen metres tall.

View from base of radio tower.

[Priest]

Melnikov continues to watch the left flank as he moves towards the tower. There is something comforting in the weight of the machine gun and he feels a surge of adrenalin fueled warmth course through his body with the anticipation of action.

[Mr. Handy]

Viktor looks around for a means of ascending the tower.

[kabukiman]

Korovin continues looking everywhere. There should be someone here, it's not normal the place being deserted.

[Cearlan]

OOC:   Note;- Praporshchik Sirko is the second NPC which I shall use sparingly ... today being one of them days.

Viktor,You see a rickety old ladder along the north eastern face of the radio mast. Babenko, seeing what you are thinking of shouts over to you [color=#FF4000]"Don't be a bloody fool comrade - that wind nearly blew us off our feet back there, just think how exposed you'd be up there!"[/color]

Korovin,You scan the site and sees nothing moving that has not been disturbed by the high winds

.

Kozlov,You have a tight feeling in your guts ... this just feels wrong.

Melnikov,You look over to the left and can see past the building. Seeing the outline of another building straight in front of you. [ooc]Spot hidden please[/ooc]

Kriptoshenko,,and Sirko grow impatient in the back of the crowded MT-LBV - what is going on out there? Sirko looks at Kriptoshenko and says [color=#FF4000]"I cannot sit here idly doing nothing when our comrades might be in danger out there. I'm going out."[/color] Sirko directs the MT-LBV's to enter the compound slowly and park up. Once they have done so he orders the troops in the other two MT-LBV's to sit tight unless there are signs of trouble. He then orders four of the troops from his own vehicle to follow him and looks at Kriptoshenko, arching an eyebrow he asks [color=#FF4000]"You coming?"[/color] before wrapping his face up in his winter gear not waiting for an answer.

[kabukiman]

Korovin join his comrades. He try to get safety in numbers.

[DrPeterson]

Kozlov didn't like this one bit, it felt as though something was terribly wrong and his entire being wanted to flee. The flag, tattered though it was, helped him collect his nerves and he scowled at the circumstance.

"Whoever lives here, is probably inside hiding from this storm. Unless anyone thinks they can scale that thing without being blown off, we'll go check out the big building."

[Mr. Handy]

"Believe me, Comrade," says Viktor, "I have no intention of climbing that flimsy ladder in this wind. Anyone up there probably would have been blown off anyway. I think we should head for the main building next."

[Priest]

Melkinov focuses his eyesight in an effort to clarify what he is seeing.

[Cearlan]

Kozlov holds his raised fit up and points to the main building gesturing towards the front. The group moves forward, and Kozlov notices that Melnikov does not follow, instead peering intently off to his right.

Melnikov,As you peer forwards, you notice that the mound seems very tall and the snow around the base is tinted ... is that red or pink, you cannot quite make sure from this distance.

[DrPeterson]

"Melnikov, didn't you hear me?"


Kozlov peers into the storm in the same direction Melnikov is looking.

Spot Hidden,[dice]0[/dice]

[kabukiman]

Korovin follows to the main building, weapons ready.

[Priest]

Melnikov continues to stare at the snowy mound, but now down the sights of the machine gun. Tenseness shows in his voice as he shouts back to Kozlov.
"Da Comrade Kapitan, I heard you. But look, at the base of the mound the snow is pinkish like blood perhaps"

[DrPeterson]

Kozlov didn't see anything in this weather and nodded at Kriptoshenko's description.


"Let's go have a look."
