Subject: Greetings and salutations!
Andrew stood up when the mule had stopped and covered them as he saw a man come out of the shadows and hop aboard the mule… the man hadn’t made any hostile moves and Wolf hadn’t reacted either so he assumed this was the man they were here to pick up.
“Ash this is Andrew, he’s new crew and fam to the Captain, Andrew, Ash he’s Rocinante’s weapon’s expert, that stuff you wanted is in back Ash you want to gear up before we head into town or what?”
Andrew extended his hand to Ash and gave him a smile, “Greetings young man…. A pleasure to meet you… I have heard a lot about you… I hope none of it was exaggerated.” His smile grew into a grin as he turned to keep an eye on the shadows to cover them while Wolf and Ash discussed the situation and Ash loads up on the his gear.

Subject: Moving on...
Brutal was very surprised at finding the guardhouses empty… the eerie situation here was getting strange by the moment… was this all a ruse?… was this place completely empty?… maybe the Nazis had pulled their operation out of here… leaving only the few guards below to continue the appearance of the place being occupied… well in any case it looked like they were going to have to check out the place to be sure.
“…We should approach as cautious as possible. This bridge however... I think we should take it fast, before it crumbles." the Captain told the Sarge.
The Corporal over heard him and with a glance at the Sarge he nodded … without waiting for orders… he took a tighter grip on his Schmessier and headed to the bridge.
He paused a moment looking at the dilapidated structure … he looked over the bridge for any signs of anyone… he saw the muddy prints that were spaced as if running… apparently whomever had went across last had not worried about the bridge collapsing as they had ran across… Brutal was not scared but he was cautious as he stepped out onto the bridge… taking careful note of where he put his feet and he moved across steadily … as sure footed as a mountain goat till he was on the other side.
(Assuming he makes it)
Once he was across… he did a quick scan… and if it was clear and safe… he signaled to the Sarge that it was safe to proceed across … he moved slowly up to the tunnel entrance and peered inside moving to the side to use the wall as partial cover.

Subject: Let's roll....
Andrew Bowman stowed the things on the mule and then strapped himself into a seat as he waited for the signal to go…. He did another check of his own gear… his guns were in their usual places… the PK12 pistol on his right hip … his Avenger suppressed revolver on his left hip in a cross draw holster… his Neotech Derringer in its spring loaded holster on his left forearm… he had all of his reloads stowed on his belt… 3 mags for the PK12 and 2 speed loaders for the revolver.. This was nothing new.. his normal walking around arsenal.
The only other gear that he had brought was lockpick sets .. both electronic and regular .. stowed inside his vest pocket… he had 6 mag charges.. a debugger … and an optical bomb in a small bag hanging from a shoulder strap … he didn’t think he would need them but who knew what they were walking into… didn’t hurt to be prepared.
Of course he wore his ballistic Mesh shirt under his normal clothing… like he thought.. it didn’t hurt to be prepared.
”Hold tight here we go,”
Andrew held tight… as the mule dropped out of the back of the Rocinante like a stone.. he felt his stomach rise up into his throat and then drop back as the jagging impact came and then the mule was darting through the darkness… he breathed again as they moved through the darkness… he kept his own eyes peeled as well .. ready to yell out if he saw anything they might run into in the dark.
He hoped they could find ‘the kid’ and get out of this without much of a fuss.. but then again he had a thought things wouldn’t go so smoothly.. he felt he might have to use his guns.. and the thought didn’t upset him really… in a way he was kind of hoping that the ‘Sheriff’ and he might have a chance to find out if the man was as brave shooting at someone that was facing him and armed as well.

Subject: Strange days indeed....
Brutal knelt on one knee as he picked up the damaged Schmessier and examined it… it was empty and damaged in a way not easily done… he laid it back down and as he came back to both feet he noticed the lack of shell casings..
He gestured to continue as he moved up to check out the guardhouse itself… something strange was definitely going on here… what could damage the barrel like that… why the gun here .. .empty but not fired here… strange indeed.
He moved up to check out the nearest guardhouse.. Listening as he moved up to the window to peer inside… if he saw nothing he would move to the door and then with a quick move he would dart to the doorway… using the doorjamb as partial cover he leveled the Schmeisser to sweep the room… if there was any danger… someone aiming at him… he wouldn’t hesitate to let loose with the gun.

Subject: yeah...
... what Tann said... especially the not dying part... I just want to point out that the 'hot drop' of the mule will not be performed at high speed... I hope the plan is for it to slow down and at a lower altitude so the mule can drift out the back and not end in a fiery death for it's occupants..

Topic: Weird War II Q n A
Subject: Stuff....
Well I know that I posted that Brutal took one of the Schmeisser and 3 mags for it… He did have the shotgun and used that on the guards I think when he got out of the car … he had also picked up a pack of those cigarettes and smoked one already … he had a Thompson as well and used it on the guard behind the shack
Anything he found in the shack that was of use he would have brought back to the car … the only other thing he might have took on his own… would have been one of the torches … otherwise the rest others could take or store in the car for later.

Topic: Weird War II
Subject: Moving on up.... to the Dark Side....
Brutal frowned a little at his suggestion being ignored but he nodded to the Sarge and put the car in reverse and backed them up to around the bend out of sight.. Once all had disembarked he pulled the car over to the side as much out of sight as he could.. Of course the narrow winding road made little in the way of hiding places for a car… hefting the Schmeisser he joined the rest.
He noticed the Sarge seemed to be moving about well for someone recently shot… he nodded and looked at the Doc as he moved up next to them.
“Well… you did good on the Sarge there Doc,“ he said with a smirk, “seems you are worth something afterall..“
He continued on past and as usual he took the point … he nodded to McGuiness seeing the sniper had him covered as he moved up ahead using what cover he could find… leap froging towards the guard houses signaling when he was at the next cover and it seemed clear for the next person to move up.
If he spots any movement he will raise a clenched fist in a halt signal and train his weapon on that spot waiting to see if anyone … or thing.. Appears to be shot. If they encountered nothing he would move up to the wall of the nearest guardhouse and listen at the window… if he heard nothing he would peer inside… if he heard any noise … voices.. Etc… he would listen and signal that he heard someone inside the shack.
As always… his gun was ready… cocked and the safety off… finger just outside the trigger guard ready to shoot at a moments notice … if danger presented itself… if someone shot at him he would instantly return fire… but if he could…he would use his large knife as a weapon of silent killing.

Brutal brought what he found on the dead guards over to the car… he snatched up the Schmeisser for himself and the two mags… he took one of the bayonets…and one of the torches… and a pack of the cigarettes… he lit one up and sucked in the harsh smoke and gritted his teeth as if in pain and then let out the smoke in a long sigh… his own cigs he had left on the plane when they had to bail… he tucked the pack into his shirt pocket and continued to smoke it up.. keeping watch while the rest took what they wanted from the loot that had been collected.
Once all was ready… and the car running for now.. it looked like it would be a miracle if it lasted to get them to the castle… he got behind the wheel and started her up…. Once everyone was in he headed up the road across the bridge and up the winding path to the castle.
Rounding a bending and spotting the guard shacks and castle he stopped the car … he raised a brow at what he saw… it looked… spooky.. like something out of a dime bijou … the lack of lights in the guard houses lead him to believe they were empty.
“Well?” he said waiting on orders… “looks like the guardhouses are empty… they couldn’t be expecting us and since the log book said they didn’t show up below for relief… I think something is wrong here.. I don’t think anyone is alive in those guardhouses.”
He just had a feeling when he looked at this scene.. something was wrong… almost… evil … it didn’t scare him really… he wasn’t afraid of dying.. not that he wanted to hasten it either… but … something wasn’t right.
(Assuming he is given the go ahead) He stepped on the gas and slowly rolled the car up to the guardhouses… there he stopped just this side of them and taking the car out of gear and applying the handbrake he stepped out .. and hefting the Schmeisser he slowly approached the nearest guardhouse to check it out.

Subject: Ready.... well .. maybe...
Andrew nodded back to Wolf and followed him from the bridge… it seems a good plan.. dangerous yes.. but this was a dangerous situation… he went to his cabin.. well not his.. but the ‘kid’ as Wyatt called him … he grabbed his extra mags and made sure they were all loaded… slipping them into the holders on his belt… he checked his each of his guns and made sure they were all set as well…. It looked like they would be needing them soon… he mostly hated violence and killing… but he was not beyond it …. He had killed.. many times… and he regretted each time it had happened… he would regret it this time… but the key was living to regret it… that he had all intentions of doing.
He left the cabin and joined Wolf as they readied the Mule for the hot drop… he would help stow any gear that Wolf seen fit to bring along and stand ready on the mule for the drop… he left the ‘piloting’ of the craft to Wolf.. hoping that he had more experience with this sort of thing… Andrew had done some crazy stuff before but this would be the first for this type of thing… a little smirk came to his lips as he waited for the word from the bridge… otherwise he tried not to think of a tumbling fiery death that might ensue.

A hot drop out of the back of the ship.. sounds wonderful Should be much fun!
I have a question, the attempt to prevent the Port Authority from Landlocking the ship.... is that something we must attempt before the drop or is this something we do once we are down... I am a little fuzzy about it... I think I get the gist of it but not sure on when we need to attempt it.

Subject: a suggestion.... maybe...
(Ok Since Wyatt seems to be on the bridge … I will assume that is where Wolf finds him and speaks to him… and since Andrew is there too… )
Andrew turned and heard Wolf’s question to the Captain and nodded… it was a good thought.. but then that went back to the whole sneaky aspect of the original plan…. He decided to put in his two cents before Wyatt had a chance to respond and perhaps shoot down Wolf’s idea.
“Good idea,“ he said to Wolf then turned to look at Wyatt, “also this Bridgette doesn’t know about me… and even the Sheriff probably has no reason to think that I might still be onboard the ship…. Perhaps..”
He paused for a second in thought before continuing quickly before Wyatt would have a chance to end their suggestions… he knew how Wyatt could be and sometimes his hot head caused him to ignore perfectly good suggestions from others once he had his mind set on a plan.
“.. what if we still kind of go with part of the original plan.. Wolf and I drop out in a shuttle as soon as we reach atmo .. we land outside of town while the Roc lands at the Port… then him and I can still come in along a different path and maybe take them unaware.. even if they detect the shuttle they wont know how many or who is in the shuttle… it just might be good to catch them in a crossfire.”
He left that hang and waited for Wyatt’s answer … he hoped that he would at least consider it… this mission seemed destined for bloodshed.. which Andrew was not opposed to it when it seemed like it was required.. and this just might be one of those occasions.

Topic: Weird War II
Subject: The old strip and dump...
"McGuinness, you and Brutal move those Germans from the road and out of sight."
Brutal looked up from where he was already started doing just that and smirked and nodded his head to McGuinness towards the two downed guards nearest the car.
“You get those two and I get these,” he said as he turned to stripping them of anything useful, especially weapons, “make sure you take anything we can use later.”
Having stripped off anything he found, he hoisted up the body and carried it over to the bridge and tossed it over the edge and watched as it tumbled down into the water below… he watched in fascination as it disappeared over the falls below…. He returned and quickly did the same to the other body.
Once this was done he gathered up what he had found and then intercepted McGuinness as he finished with his last body.
“Good Job back there,” he said with a nod… it was simple statement but it showed that he was impressed with the snipers shooting… it was probably the best anyone would get from Brutal in the manner of a compliment.
Heading into the guardhouse he would check it out and frown at the ruined radio.. not that they would have used it but they might have caught some chatter from the castle… he would search the guardhouse while he was there.. anything he found he would take with the rest back to the car where the others were tending to the Sarge.
He worried a little at the Sarge being hit… he hoped it wasn’t serious.. he would hate to have the Captain in charge… the man had yet to prove himself in Brutal’s eyes… thus far he had been less impressive… it had been his plan to ride up here and try and bluff their way inside… that had worked out well hadn’t it?...

Subject: The New Plan.... I like it!
"Folks, something bigger than I'd initially expected is going down on this ball of dirt, and its led me to rethink my original position. Instead of going in all sneaky like and hoping to get the drop on a viper in her den, I conjure it's best to go with a show of strength. “
"Ma'll be the only one staying aboard once we set down. The rest of you strap fer bear as they used to say on Earth That Was. We'll touch down in a couple of hours and that's where we'll be findin' what's keeping the young pup from answering his mother wolf's howls."
Andrew paused as Wyatt finished and the intercom clicked off…. he thought for a moment then nodded and a slow smile came to his lips… this was a better way to go in his opinion… oh he didn’t mind dropping in and planning to ambush the obvious ambush that was probably set for them…. but this approach suited him just fine.
He began to check his guns in preparation for the fight to come… he pulled his PK12 out of the low quick-draw holster that hung from his right leg… dropping the mag and unchambering the round … breaking it down he gave it a quick lubricating before reassembling it and cycling it to ensure it’s operating…. he topped off the mag before slamming it home and chambering the round and slipped the gun back into it’s home.
He did the same for his other two handguns…. the Suppressed Avenger Revolver w/ optical sight which he strapped to his left hip in a cross draw holster… his very expensive NeoTech two shot derringer in the spring loaded forearm holster he strapped onto his left forearm under his sleeves…. He made sure his extra mags ... 3 for the PK12 and 2 for the Avenger… were tucked away in mag pouches strapped to his waist… once everything was in its proper place he put on his coat which covered it all except when he needed it… setting his hat atop his head … he left the compartment and headed forward.
“So Wyatt,” he said stepping into the bridge and seeing the Captain, “you aim to cause a ruckus do ya?” He gave a slight smile showing he wasn’t displeased with the plan, “what’s your approach? Going to just touch down at the port and head in guns ablazing?”

Subject: Kill em all ... let God sort em out!
Brutal heard two loud shots that sounded like McGuiness’s Ought Three; he hoped they were keeping the guy that might be around the next corner busy. He reached the corner and his finger checked to make sure the selector switch was on ‘Full’ and taking a breath he burst around the corner and saw the Nazi he was looking for down in the mud struggling to get up; obviously he had dived to avoid fire from the car.
He let loose with the Thompson and with a short burst ending the guard’s struggles for good. He approached the corner to the road and peeked around and spoke up when he seen all the Nazi’s down.
“HOLD YOUR FIRE!” he said, not wanting the trigger-happy sniper to take him out.
He moved to the door and looked into the small guard shack swiping it with his Thompson; seeing it empty he turned back to the car.
“Clear!”
"DOC, Tend to the Sarge!" He yelled seeing the medic crouching behind the car. He secured his gun and then began to search the guards bodied, starting with the one he had just gunned down, taking any useful ammo, grenades, cigarettes, etc.
