GESB: Operation Time-Cops

[Myitt]

Tara looks around irritably.  "Hey, Ozzy, do we have any clue where we're headed?" she asks.

Hadrin rolls up his uniform's sleeves.  "I'd forgotten how hot it could get here, even in February," he murmurs.

[Chad32]

<<I believe I said it was 150 yards to the north, my Prince. A short trip. Although maybe that is considered more ground in Human form. Though obviously I couldn't just land the ship right next to Sukohn. He could blast our undersides.>>

[Alic]

"I think the weather is nice actually." Alic kept glancing around as if expecting an ambush. Although the yeerk wouldn't recognize them, except maybe Myitt.
"Hopefully they don't know we're here. I like to surprise." She grinned.

[Terenia]

Zorish listens as the crew of the ship discusses their plans. He cannot make out the spoken voices, but the occasional thought-speech enters his head. Eventually, though, that too falls silent. Zorish is, as far as he can tell, alone. Alone and stuck within the confines of a force field.

<Well....this is promising,> he says wryly.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

"We cannot afford to gamble on that.  The Imperial knew we were after him, he may be expecting us.  The ship is approximately 150 human yards to the North.  We should split into two groups...if Aliciania goes with you Tara, and you come with me Hadrin, we should be able to private-thought each other to communicate.  I will circle around to the West, Tara and Aliciania, please circle to the East.  We should try to keep a good distance from the ship itself.  Aliciania and I can also send and receive private thoughts from Claxter who should be able to update us on our positions relative to the Imperial's ship."  Ossanlin nods to Hadrin and begins to circle to the West trying to keep quiet. 

<<Thank you Claxter, I had not heard your original thought on the position of the Imperial's ship.  Please monitor the situation closely, I will check in with you regularly to determine my position as well as Aliciania's in reference to the cloaked bug.>>

[Chad32]

<<Yes my Prince.>> claxter took a close look at the monitor to see the area. "Why am I in Human form again?" he asked himself quietly.

<<I do not see them in the shrubery outside the ship. They are either inside, or hidden by the hologram surrounding the sip.>>

[Myitt]

Tara nods, having no real idea which direction East is, but she moves in the direction opposite from Ossanlin. 

"They could be hiding out here in the open," she whispers to Alic.  "I wouldn't put that past that sonuva****."

Hadrin moves along next to Ossanlin, looking around warily and trying to keep quiet, himself.  He draws his Dracon again, not wanting to be unarmed.

[Chad32]

Sukohn and Cody had communicators so they didn't have to talk loudly.

"Do you see them?" Sukohn asked.

"Not yet. They parked a fair distance from us."

"Well keep an eye out for anything suspicious. They probably won't rush in as Andalites."

"Sure."

[Alic]

Alic nodded and gave a small wave to the other group. "I'm not so good with direction either. This works." She tried to look casual walking down the street, but her fists were closed tight, as if someone might jump out in front on them.

[Myitt]

"Look, Hadrin drew his Dracon," Tara whispers.  "I really don't like having it holstered.  My palms are itching."  She glances at Alic.  "Great, I look like a homeless Hot Topic reject, and you look like an overworked Sears sales manager.  Please, tell me we aren't going to die."

[Chad32]

(You want to wait until they get to the ship and see the Sukohn hologram, or just get this started and over with?)

[Myitt]

((Let's just get this started and over with  ))

[Chad32]

(Okie dokies)

"I see Myitt. I can get her and her friend!" Cody said.

"Wait until they walk into the-"

TSEEEWWW

"trap. Darn it." Sukohn said.

Cody fired his dracon from the tree he was hiding behind. The setting was too low to be fatal, though he only had it set that way because he liked to cause pain. Since everyone would hopefully think Sukohn was in Cody's body instead of his new host, he stayed hidden to use cody as a distraction.

[Myitt]

Tara's eyes widen at the sound and she pushes Alic out of the way, taking a hit in the left side of her torso. 

"Aaaarghhh!" she cries as she hits the ground, half-paralyzed and convulsing in pain.  One burning thought, to draw that goddamned Dracon, runs screaming through her mind; no use, her hands feel like they're on fire.

[Alic]

"Oh, God!" Alic almost fell herself, unprepared for Tara to take the hit. Now she was in the open and the enemy was behind cover.
She grabbed her shredder out of the waist of her shorts and flipped the setting high. If she couldn't get the damn yeerk she"d get the tree in her way first.
With decent aim she fired at the tree the enemy fired started from. <Ossanlin! Claxter! They found us. Use the two legs you've got and get over here!>
"Tara, you ok? Get your ass up or crawl behind something, I'll take care of the filth." She stood in front of Tara, shredder aimed, ready to fire at any movement. Right now she didn't care it was daytime and there were probably humans watching.
