Duck and Cover

Lex turns his cell phone to silence and turns the keys to on, he mutters something under his breath. after a few seconds of quiet he starts driving the massive HMMWV away and says Hold on to your hats your in for one wild ride

Ramses returned the kiss, despite those who were watching. The phone went off. Let's ride.

Pyro steadies himself, keeping an eye out for danger, ready to man the gun.

The trip was going sweetly, until the car suddenly stops. The car haves to stop, as it couldn't go forward.

Roger: Oh, Crap. I HATE when this happens. Let's wait here for a while and try to see what happened.

Roger gets some camping stuff and begins mounting a tent.

lex gets out of the vehicle and kicks the tyre Damn it this would never have happend in Australia, if an army vehicle stoped working just once it wouldn't be allowed out of the workshop till the problem was fixed then he tries to get his bearings to see where he ishow long does it usually take befor its fixed?

Roger: I dunno, i'm not a car specialist. But it should take some hours

I'll need to make prolonged test. You will need at least 5 successes and each test takes half a hour in time. I know, this isn't at FO PNP but i added this to give some roleplaying chance. BTW, i would like your characters to interact more between themselves

uh what do you mean by tests?

lex starts helping roger set up the stuff uh kane is it, you and i seem to be the only civilians here so what do you do? I myself am unemployed but i used to be a cop. hey captain where do you want this?

Roger: I dunno

by tests i wanted to mean dice rolls

Pyro mans the gun, but does'nt cock it. Keeping an eye out for trouble, he scans the area. While keeping watch, he tries starting up a conversation. Lex, you used to be a cop? What made you want to do that?

Ramses used the binoculars and took a glance around the terrain for anything. It was quiet, very quiet, all that could be heard was the Captain and Lex chattering over the vehicle. Pyro was at the gun, and Hazel was busy rechecking her M16A2, fixing a small night sight scope which could come in handy, she was not too far from Pyro.

Hazel looked up at Pyro. Easy there sport... I love big guns too, but the Chinese ain't here yet. It was her way of communication, perhaps big guns was there common ground.

I tried to get into the army but I didn't exactly fit their pshyc profile, so I went cop instead. lex stoped for a moment thinking he heard something, only to shrug it off as his immagination now kane why don't you answer my question?

Well, Pyro says with a kind of shamefaced smile. I haven't done much, really. I guess that you could call me a contractor. I know something about explosives, a kind of hobby of mine, so I have done a little demolition for people. Like blowing out tree stumps from fields, demolishing walls, and the like.

Pyro looks to Hazel. No problem, but I wanted to be ready in case we have any problems. The safety is on, and a round hasn't been chambered. But if something comes up, I want to be ready.

yay

contractor cool, my farther was a contractor so is my brother back in australia but not anything as exciting as pyrotechnics just some computer stuff. Lieutenant where abouts do you think we are?

"Its safe to say we're a bit far from the battles. So far, the Chineses intentions are to secure oil areas. Texas is out rulled... The fields have been dead for fifty or so years. Anchorage, even now the fighting continues as they push us into the Yukon, and I think our Canadian neighbors are none too happy about our presence there. So we're in a rock and a hard place.... We're twenty five clicks from Stone Wall air base.... We can hitch a ride with them and head north.

But for now." Ramses took a breath. "For now, the Chinese don't care enough to attack us in the south."

Pyro speaks up.

Yeah, but that will change. This a war about power, and the real power, i. e. fighting personel, is down here. We are Americans, and we will fight! The Chinese will come, mark my words. I hope to leave a few 'gifts' around for them!

We all got gifts lto leave. Ramses said as he tapped his Desert Eagle. And this baby isn't made in China.

Hell I got scores to settles with our chink friends. hazel added as she waved her rifle towards the West.

lex jumps up onto the roof of the hmmwv I would like to add to this little pep rally, I'm from Australia and anyone from Australia is down right crazy and not some one you want to toy with, so come on China give me your best shot!

Pyro smiles at Lex's comment. Well, I here that you guys have to be that way, what with all the hot chicks down there.

Roger: Nice to see you are getting well.

Aaron passes the 2nd roll.

Congrats, people.

And BTW, would you like a small combat now, to heat things up, or later?
