Grasshopper 7 | At the height of the attack at dawn

[adregem]

[ This is going to be a bit of a messy broadcast, but bear with him. Roland sounds like he's doing three things at once while running at top speed. He probably is. ]

This is Roland from the underground Terran city assigned to Purple! We - [ A huff. ] We're currently facing an ambush from a large amount of monsters down the service tunnels, and able-bodied team members are now split between defending ongoing rescue operations of Terran civilians - [ A groan, then a passionate bellow. ] and providing offensive back-up to the front line!

[ Man, he doesn't sound very happy. ] Aside from light, can anyone else share the monster's weaknesses? [ Let's keep this short and sweet, his sword is drawn and he's ready to go. ] Over and out! [ Dammit. He had a feeling this was going to happen...! He should have prepared better! ]

[enthunder]

[ With the sunrise, Red team's actually in better shape to respond, but Light's still out of breath when she answers.

Monsters underground is just what they need. ] There's not any other weaknesses to share! Physical stuff can hold or block 'em for a while, attacks can knock 'em out for a few minutes. Use your SCA flashlight.

[adregem]

Dammit.

[ He shouts away from the broadcast, but it's audible despite the chaos. 'Prioritize the city's defense! Don't let them breach tunnels leading further down!' He replies quickly after that. ]

I will, thanks! I'm sorry to be so candid, but can we kill them with something? Anything? [ They can't volley forever. It'll be a fight of stamina, and they've been working non-stop trying to get people to safety from debris...! ]

[enthunder]

Light's the only thing that's worked so far. You've gotta hit them in the... eyes, whatever those black bits are on their heads. Anywhere else, you're wasting your time.

[ The background of her side of the comm is quieter, voices calling here and there, a burst of laughter with an edge of panic or adrenaline. The dull hiss of rain. She exhales, loudly. ]

Sorry. If it helps, you're not gonna be fighting all day. The sun's just come up.

[adregem]

[ He nods to himself, brandishing his gun instead. Smaller targets call for a little bit more precision. ] Black bits. Eyes. That's - that's helpful. Thank you. That's enough.

[ He'll fight immediately with that information, though Roland will take time to relay it to everyone else, Terran fighters included. He breathes heavily, gunshots ringing in the background, before he replies just a little too ominously - ]

But what about when the sun goes down? [ Roland starts running again. ] I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Thanks again, and wish us luck.

[enthunder]

Try not to think too far ahead. [ So basically she agrees with him. But they can work that out when this is sorted. ] Good luck.

[ He's peering down into the shaft of the service tunnel in the floor of the bottom level of the lab that is still standing. ]

Hi, Roland! This is Curufin from Team Orange. Some of the monsters from this lab are diving down into the tunnel shaft in the lowest level of the lab. I think they're heading your way. I'm going to climb down into the tunnel and verify that it goes into the Terran city where you are. If it does, I'll lend a hand -- and a sword -- to the defense effort, at least for a while.

The monsters don't like light, as you probably already know. A bright light beamed directly into their eyes destroys them, if you can find one. I've been stabbing and slicing them, and that slows them down or causes them to fall over. I'm deducing that they are getting back up again, but that doesn't seem to happen immediately.

[adregem]

[ The reply comes a little delayed, but he sounds a bit more on his feet than when he started the broadcast. ]

Curufin, thank you! [ That doesn't sound good, though... ] We'll try to get some Terran backup watching tunnel shaft exits. Are you sure that's safe, though?To climb down yourself...? [ Not that he has much of a choice, Roland. Where else would he go? ]

Copy that! Which means we probably need to pair up Terrans with one of us at all times to make life easier for everyone...Our SCA's can torch 'em! [ He jumps right back into the fray, a bit more empowered to know these things definitely have a weakness. ]

[so_dark_a_road]

You're welcome. I'm an adventurer, and I don't mind taking risks. It probably isn't safe to go down there, but I have my sword and some sorcerous powers, and I think I'll be all right.

Good luck on getting some Terran backup. I'm betting they'll be glad to lend a hand. It's their planet, after all. Yes, the SCA's can be weapons! I've found that if I shine one directly into a monster's eyes, that monster bites the dust.

[ He deploys his climbing equipment and starts down into the shaft. His voice starts to echo in that space. ] See you later, maybe!

[adregem]

Heh. Alright, I'll take your word for it. We're not going to turn down help when it's offered, not now! [ Some general chaos and noise here, before he chimes up again. ]

Roger, I'll stick to some of the Terran fighters so I can give them the opening they need with the SCA. See you soon, and be safe! Over and out!

[ He'll be keeping his eye out for team members in Orange! ]
