[Back to Report]

[15:17] <Viper7> Briefing:
[15:17] <Viper7> Intelligence has received a rather strange signal that they have not yet been able to trace. It appears to come from a source with access to Steele's secure files.
[15:17] <Viper7> The message informs us of a long-range sensor post on the moon M4R-312, also known as Kly IV on our charts. Our anonymous informant wishes us to know that this post has been used to keep a watch on Farpoint, and was established about a week after Steele's forces were pushed back out of the system.
[15:17] <Viper7> While still hesitant that this may be a trap, Command has agreed that if there is a post it must be destroyed due to the system's close proximity to Farpoint.
[15:17] <Viper7> In the event that it is a trap, Hunter and Ikara are standing by to jump in-system and provide us with any support we may need.
[15:17] <Viper7> Kly IV is an airless moon covered in canyons and craters. For that reason we will be issued pressure suits for this mission. The stargate is located about 400m from the main atmosphere dome that contains the bulk of the facility. Two other atmosphere domes are located on either side of the path from the stargate to the dome. These are believed to hold the sensing equipment.
[15:17] <Viper7> Our informant tells us that the facility is lightly guarded; relying on the fact that the moon contains no atmosphere and that anyone who steps though the stargate with out a pressure suit would be torn apart from explosive decompression.
[15:17] <Viper7> questions?
[15:17] <Padme> no sir
[15:18] * Miles raises his hand
[15:18] <Viper7> Miles
[15:18] <Miles> IS this just a smash and grab?
[15:18] <Thorn> ((snicker))
[15:18] <Viper7> this is a go blow it to hell and run away
[15:18] <Miles> Or are we looking to gain materiel?
[15:19] * Jol raises his hand
[15:19] <Viper7> yes?
[15:19] * Miles grins an evil grin
[15:19] <Viper7> Atomic, pack a crapload of explosives, you're gonna get to blow some stuff up
[15:19] <Viper7> jol?
[15:19] <Jol> So any collateral is acceptable
[15:19] <Viper7> yeah
[15:19] <Viper7> blow it all up
[15:19] <Atomic> ...hehe
[15:19] <Thorn> my biggest question is why the gate was not protected by a dome right off the bat?
[15:19] <Jol> Good good
[15:19] <Viper7> defensive issues
[15:19] <Viper7> gotta come through in a suit or you explosively decompress
[15:20] <Viper7> boom
[15:20] <Viper7> the databank's got some impressive images of people going out that way
[15:20] <Viper7> it's rather spectacular, and nasty
[15:20] <Jol> ooo, can we not give Atomic a pressure suit, or can we at least make it faulty
[15:20] <Viper7> no
[15:20] <Atomic> Permission to strap naquadah, nergon and a nailbomb to Jol?
[15:21] <Viper7> no
[15:21] <Thorn> Jol, why dont you just go right out and Say It?
[15:21] <Atomic> bah
[15:21] <Jol> say what?
[15:21] <Viper7> now go get geared up
[15:21] <Atomic> She wants you to come out of the closet.
[15:21] * Padme says lets rock
[15:22] * Miles stands up and heads towards the armory
[15:22] * Jol heads for the armoury
[15:22] <Miles> Hey Thorn
[15:22] * Thorn glares at Atomic and stands
[15:22] <Thorn> yes miles?
[15:22] * Viper7 makes his way to the armoury
[15:22] * Atomic moves to the explosives locker and packs a rucksack full of naquadah enhanced nergon, and various grenades
[15:22] <Jol> Can we kill Atomic, can we?? can we??
[15:22] <Miles> You checked out on a launcher for an E-11?
[15:22] * Padme makes her way to armoory
[15:22] * Viper7 taps Thorn on the shoulder and whispers "Babysit those two for me, will you?"
[15:23] * Thorn grins
[15:23] * Viper7 smacks Jol upside the head
[15:23] <Viper7> no
[15:23] * Jol picks up an E-11 and grenade launcher
[15:23] * Miles signs for a M435 and a rcuksack full of charge-pacs
[15:24] * Viper7 checks out his vaccuum suit and an E11
[15:24] * Padme puts her pressure suit on and hooks med supplys to suit, then checks her weapons
[15:24] * Atomic carries the rucksack to his suit, which he puts on, sliding the pack over its broad shoulders
[15:24] * Miles stops at his locker and begins to put on his space armour
[15:24] * Jol checks the charge on his DL-44 before putting back into its holster on the pressure suit. He then puts the pressure suit on
[15:25] * Thorn gets suited, armed, and heads for the gate
[15:25] <Jol> We any weapons for this mission?
[15:25] * Miles slings the M435, picks up his helmet and heads for the gate
[15:25] * Atomic attaches his Enhanced E-11 and pulase blaster to his suit, along with a magnetic combat vibroblade
[15:25] <Jol> It's a serious question
[15:25] <Viper7> standard weapons
[15:26] <Viper7> extra load of munitions
[15:26] * Viper7 starts putting on his vaccuume suit
[15:26] <Thorn> Miles, to answer your question, this will be the first live fire mission for me with this little attachement
[15:27] * Miles checks his DL-18, flips the safety on and reholsters it
[15:27] * Atomic wanders down to the gateroom, securing his helmet
[15:27] <Padme> what attachment Thorn
[15:27] <Atomic> <comms> click click
[15:27] * Viper7 starts loading extra Nergon-14 charges
[15:27] <Viper7> <comms> cop
[15:27] <Viper7> <comms> copy
[15:27] <Thorn> grenade launcher
[15:27] * Jol signs out another E-11 and grenade launcer, as well as another band of powerpacks. He hooks the two carbines up so they can be draw by the opposite hand
[15:27] <Thorn> <comms> ouch
[15:27] <Jol> <comms> copy
[15:28] <Thorn> checkes the sound settings on her comm
[15:28] <Miles> <Just remember that it has a ballistic arc and isn't line of sight like the blaster
[15:28] * Viper7 grabs his helmet, slings his E11, and makes off to the control room
[15:28] * Padme makes her way to control room
[15:28] * Miles enters the gateroom and donns his helmet
[15:28] * Viper7 turns Padme around and points her to the gate room
[15:28] * Jol follows the others and snaps his helmet into place
[15:28] <Padme> lol
[15:29] <Miles> <comms> testing
[15:29] <Thorn> dont worry Miles, I have plenty of experience with ballistic weapons
[15:29] * Viper7 steps into the command room and checks in with the techs
[15:29] <Miles> Good. It always pays to make sure though
[15:29] * Viper7 nods and the dialing sequence starts, the computers sending signals out to the DHD
[15:30] * Viper7 Chevron 1 encoded
[15:30] * Viper7 Chevron 2 encoded
[15:30] * Viper7 Chevron 3 encoded
[15:30] * Viper7 Chevron 4 encoded
[15:30] * Jol readys himself for the mission
[15:30] * Viper7 Chevron 5 encoded
[15:30] * Viper7 Chevron 6 encoded
[15:30] * Viper7 Chevron 7 Locked
[15:30] * Viper7 Wormhole Engaged
[15:30] * Miles closes his helmet visor and checks seal intergrity
[15:30] * Viper7 walks down to the gate room
[15:30] * Thorn stands back from the ramp and watches the gate whirl around
[15:30] <Padme> whosh
[15:30] <Viper7> Someone tell me why we can't just use the damned DHD
[15:30] * Atomic takes his vibroblade and balances it on the event horizon of the wormhole
[15:30] * Viper7 puts his helmet on and locks it in place
[15:30] <Jol> Because the Admiral said so
[15:31] * Viper7 locks his faceplate down
[15:31] <Viper7> <comms> fair enough
[15:31] <Viper7> <comms> comms while in the suits,
[15:31] * Atomic snatches it back as it begins being sucked off into the wormhole
[15:31] * Jol closes his visor
[15:31] <Atomic> <comms> Vacuum alright
[15:31] * Viper7 grabs his E11 and walks up to the stargate
[15:31] <Viper7> <comms> lets go then!
[15:31] * Miles shoulders his blaster and walkes towartd the event horizon
[15:31] * Atomic slides down his shaded visor
[15:31] * Viper7 pushes atomic thorugh
[15:31] * Thorn locks down her visor and heads for the gate
[15:31] <Atomic> <comms> shades people
[15:31] * Viper7 steps through
[15:31] <Miles> <comms> weapons hot viper
[15:31] * Jol draws his Dl-44 and walks through the gate
[15:32] * Padme steps thought the gate
[15:32] * Miles aims forward and steps through the gate
[15:32] * Viper7 emerges on the moon and takes a look aorund
[15:32] * Thorn follows last through the gate
[15:32] * Atomic jumps out of the other side, raising E-11
[15:32] * Jol emerges
[15:32] * Viper7 bounces down to the dhd, looking around
[15:32] <Jol> <comms> What's gravity like here?
[15:32] <Viper7> <comms> looks clear here, i can see the path to the dome
[15:32] * Miles emerges and moves to the right of the gate
[15:32] <Viper7> <comms> rather light
[15:33] <Viper7> <comms> like being on the Tau'ri moon
[15:33] * Padme emerges
[15:33] * Thorn steps through the gate
[15:33] * Atomic bounce-hops up on top of a nearby ridge, raising his sight
[15:33] * Jol jumps into the air, is suspended for about 4 seconds and then falls back down.
[15:33] <Thorn> umm, Vipe?...
[15:33] <Jol> <comms> Nice, could make for some good dodges
[15:33] <Viper7> <comms> what?
[15:33] <Thorn> <comms> where's the DHD?
[15:33] <Miles> <comms>Jol, you make a nice target hanging up there
[15:34] <Viper7> <comms> infront of me
[15:34] * Viper7 checks it over
[15:34] <Jol> <comms> Not really, there's no-one close enough for me to be a target to
[15:34] * Miles moves away from the gate ten paces
[15:34] <Viper7> <comms> looks good, lets get moving
[15:34] * Jol walks down to the DHD
[15:34] <Miles> <comms> for now Jol
[15:34] * Atomic slides back down to the DHD, and drops a charge next to it
[15:35] * Thorn raises an eyebrow
[15:35] <Jol> <comms> Well you'll have to kill everyone then Miles, then I can jump
[15:35] <Atomic> <comms> Contingencies, contingencies
[15:35] * Miles starts towards the dome on the right flank
[15:35] * Viper7 makes his way around to the path
[15:35] <Thorn> <comms> ok...
[15:35] * Atomic hops back up the ridge, then slides down the other side
[15:36] <Viper7> <comms> ok, We'll do the equipment dome first
[15:36] * Jol starts towards the first dome
[15:36] <Viper7> <comms> atomic, take Miles. Set up a breaching charge on the dome.
[15:36] <Miles> <comms> Atomic, you ave spare detonators?
[15:36] <Atomic> <comms> Miles, you've got point, I'm on your six
[15:37] <Viper7> <comms> everyone else find cover and set up shop
[15:37] <Atomic> <comms> Plenty
[15:37] * Jol stops about 20 meters from the gate in a nice crater
[15:37] <Miles> <comms> copy Atomic. I'm twenty meters forwad
[15:37] * Thorn looks around for a place to hide from Atomics dirtywork
[15:37] <Viper7> <comms> Jol, keep watch down the path incase we get visitors from the main habitation dome
[15:37] * Padme finds cover and watches and awaits orders
[15:37] <Jol> <comms> Allson, shop set up. What would you like to buy?
[15:37] <Jol> <comms> On it, sir
[15:37] * Miles moves toward the dome
[15:38] <Viper7> <comms> everyone else keep watch on the equipment dome
[15:38] * Padme pulls out binoculars and watches for movement at dome
[15:38] <Atomic> <comms> I'll take a Victory-class Stsr Destroyer, all the trimming, if you please, Mr Allson
[15:38] * Miles looks for rocks big enough for cover as he moves forward
[15:38] <Viper7> <comms> cut the chatter
[15:39] * Viper7 drops down into a small crater
[15:39] * Atomic moves up closer to Miles, signalling him to take right flank
[15:39] <Miles> <comms> scanning thermal Atromic. moderate heat source from Equipment dome
[15:39] * Thorn watches her sensors for communication activity coming from the habitat dome
[15:39] <Atomic> <comms> Any venting?
[15:39] * Jol sets a pair of macrobinoculars into his visor, turns them on the main dome and increases magnification
[15:40] * Miles scans for thermal vents
[15:40] <Viper7> <comms> Atomic, when the charge goes off, it should vent all atmosphere from the dome. Anyone inside shouldn't pose a threat.
[15:40] <Miles> <comms> small plume from left front quarter
[15:40] <Atomic> <comms> I wouldn't count on it
[15:41] <Jol> <comms> Minimal activity around main dome, wait, I see a patrol. No threat, they're just on a stroll around the dome
[15:41] <Atomic> <comms> Standard Imp procedure has at least two troops in full zero-g gear on any dead atmos planet at a time
[15:41] <Atomic> <comms> And that would be them
[15:42] <Jol> <comms> There's six of us Atomic, no worries
[15:42] <Viper7> <comms> copy that
[15:42] <Miles> <comms>Atomic, shold we head towards the thermal vent?
[15:42] * Atomic moves up to the vent, noting the condensation spray turning from a cloud to a crystal rain
[15:42] <Atomic> <comms> Indeed
[15:43] * Miles turns around to cover Atmic
[15:43] * Atomic watches his suit carefully as he lays a charge
[15:43] <Jol> <comms> Anyone bring an A280 by any chance?
[15:43] <Miles> <comms> delay or RF detonation?
[15:43] <Atomic> <comms> Charge set, move for cover
[15:43] <Viper7> <comms> Everyone down
[15:43] <Atomic> <comms> RF, move
[15:44] * Thorn watches from a distance
[15:44] * Atomic hops into the nearest open crater, sliding up against its lip
[15:44] * Miles sprints to a crater, jumps in and hunkers down
[15:44] <Miles> <comms> I have the 280 Jol
[15:44] * Atomic watches carefully, waiting for the patrol to near the vent
[15:44] <Viper7> <comms> the lack of atomosphere should keep the sound from traveling
[15:45] <Atomic> <comms> Not taking any chances
[15:45] <Atomic> <comms> gonna blow em up
[15:45] <Viper7> <comms> copy that
[15:45] <Jol> <comms> Good, good. Coz I don't like the look of those Zero-Gs
[15:45] <Thorn> <comms> still no unusual comm activity
[15:45] <Viper7> <comms> Miles, set up to take those troopers out incase Atomic's bomb doesn't do the job.
[15:46] * Miles pops his head up over the crater rim
[15:46] <Miles> <comms> copy and sighted Viper
[15:46] <Thorn> <comms> Pad, how much space tape do you have on you?
[15:46] <Jol> <comms> I've got a leak in my suit. I'm gonna have to stay here while I patch it up
[15:46] * Miles pulls his head back down
[15:46] <Viper7> <comms> wonderful
[15:46] <Padme> 5 rolls thorn
[15:46] * Atomic flips the switch, and the charge detonates. Molten globs of metal bound away, as the two troopers and all the internal crew are blown off, some spontaneously exploding as they reach full vacuum. All the debris quickly attain escape velocity.
[15:47] * Viper7 peeks up over the lip of the crater
[15:47] * Miles pops his head up again over the crater rim
[15:47] <Viper7> <comms> wow
[15:47] * Atomic shudders as the shockwave hits him through the ground
[15:47] <Miles> <co,mms> One still moving
[15:47] <Atomic> <comms> Vacuum doesn't stop a shockwave
[15:47] <Viper7> <comms> get him
[15:47] <Atomic> <comms> We may have alerted the main force
[15:47] <Thorn> <comms> ick... cool, but ick
[15:48] * Miles aims the 280. fires and plasters the space trooper
[15:48] <Thorn> <comms> the boards are lighting up
[15:48] <Viper7> <comms> shite, main dome, go. Atomic and Miles take the left flank.
[15:48] <Padme> (back was afk for last 5 min)
[15:48] <Viper7> <comms> Padme and Thorn set up to cover them
[15:48] <Viper7> <comms> we're gonna have visitors soon
[15:48] * Miles jumps out of the crater and moves to the left
[15:48] * Atomic jumps back up, raising blaster and bounce sprinting at full pelt
[15:48] * Thorn jumps up and runs to a better cover position
[15:48] <Viper7> <comms> blow the dome as soon as you get there atomic, maybe we can space a few more
[15:49] * Viper7 gets up and bounces across the landscape
[15:49] * Padme falls behind in cover to cover Thorn
[15:49] * Thorn watches the airlock
[15:49] * Miles moves at Atomics flank towards the other dome
[15:49] * Viper7 drops down behind a low rise and bellies up to the top
[15:49] * Thorn scanns their commm channels
[15:49] * Atomic tumbles as he falls upon a pile of wreckage
[15:49] <Atomic> <comms> Oh, crap.
[15:49] * Miles finds a big rock , stops and sets up his 280 to cover Atomic
[15:50] <Viper7> <comms> what?
[15:50] <Thorn> <comms> lots of yelling going on... Atomic, you ok?
[15:50] <Atomic> <comms> TIE Crawler debris. Better hope they haven't been resupplied recently,
[15:50] <Padme> <comms> Thorn don't move theres a snake metal looking thing crawling up behind u
[15:50] <Thorn> <comms> a what???
[15:50] <Viper7> <comms> there can't be, we're on an airless moon
[15:50] <Miles> <comms> you need me there Atomic?
[15:50] <Padme> <comms> turn around slowly thorn
[15:50] <Viper7> <comms> she's seeing things, Thorn, check her air supply!
[15:50] * Thorn spins around and swats at the defensive system
[15:51] <Atomic> <comms> No Miles, looks dead, move on.
[15:51] <Thorn> <comms> They're robotic!
[15:51] <Miles> <comms> I'm setting up to cover you at the dome
[15:51] <Padme> <comms> Think theres any more Thorn
[15:52] <Miles> <comms> I'm 25 meter to your left 90 degrees
[15:52] <Thorn> <comms> hurry up you two!! thier defensive systems are kicking in!
[15:52] * Thorn messes with the comms system, and blocks the signal to the defensive systems
[15:53] <Miles> <comms> set here Atomic, good enfilade of the dome entrance
[15:53] <Thorn> the robotic arms drop to the surface
[15:53] <Padme> <comms> Good thinking Thorn
[15:53] <Thorn> <comms> come on Padme, keep a close eye out
[15:53] * AtomicCD takes the pack, slams a detonator into it, then throws it onto the dome
[15:53] <Viper7> <comms> crap, they're comming
[15:53] <Viper7> <comms> airlock door opening
[15:53] * Miles scans the door opening
[15:54] * Thorn checks all comm signals
[15:54] <Thorn> <comms> they've spotted us
[15:54] * AtomicCD runs away at best speed
[15:54] <Miles> <comms> space troops exiting. I am engaging
[15:54] * Viper7 takes aim and fires
[15:54] * Miles fires the 280 at the space troopers
[15:54] <AtomicCD> <comms> Under fire, I repeat, under fire!
[15:54] * Thorn raises her e-11 and takes aim
[15:54] * Padme aims and fires
[15:55] <Viper7> <comms> so cry me a river. blow the place
[15:55] <Thorn> <comms> padme, keep that tape handy, anyone gets a leak, slap that on it
[15:55] <Viper7> <comms> you're a walking explosives factory for the love of the force
[15:55] * AtomicCD unholsters his blaster, fires a few snapshots
[15:55] <Miles> <comms> move to your right diagonal Atomic, I can cover you better
[15:55] * AtomicCD complies
[15:55] <Padme> <comms> copy Thorn
[15:55] * Miles cuts down trooper after trooper with the 280
[15:55] * Thorn arms the grenade laucher and grins
[15:56] * Atomic flips the detonator, and is promplty blown skyward by venting gases
[15:56] * Thorn lowers the arc a bit for the lesser gravity and fires
[15:56] * Viper7 fires again, cracking one trooper's face plate
[15:56] <Miles> <comms> Thorn, can you lkay down grenade patterns on the door of the dome?
[15:56] <Thorn> <comms> on it Miles
[15:56] <Miles> <comms> Viper, Atomic is Down, repeat Atomic is down
[15:57] <Viper7> <comms> or up rather
[15:57] <Thorn> <comms> crud, I think Atomic is umm, up...
[15:57] <Miles> I'm on recovery
[15:57] <Viper7> <comms> dont
[15:57] * Atomic flies over the other RS members, but his ascent rapidly degrades
[15:57] * Viper7 checks to make shure he's not achieved escape veolocity
[15:57] <Atomic> <comms> I'm coming back down, heads up
[15:57] <Viper7> <comms> he's ok
[15:57] * Padme goes to give Atomis medical attention
[15:57] * Miles wonders if Atmic will sirvive the impact
[15:57] * Atomic lands on Jol
[15:57] <Viper7> <comms> he'll be fine
[15:58] <Atomic> <comms> Oh, the cushiony softness I tell you!
[15:58] * Thorn fires more grenades at the airlock, ore troops heading out
[15:58] * Viper7 fires on a space trooper approching miles
[15:58] * Miles turns back twards the troopers coming out of the dome
[15:58] <Viper7> <comms> pay attention soldier!
[15:58] * Atomic raises his blaster and continues firing
[15:58] * Padme finds a small airleak on Jol from atomisc landing, covers the hold with tape
[15:58] * Miles fire and splits the trooper Viper hit in teo
[15:59] * Atomic hits one trooper in the leg, the rest of his body is prompltly liquidised and boils out of the hole
[15:59] <Thorn> <comms> I am still getting communication from the dome, someone is still in there
[15:59] <Viper7> <comms> I'll take care of that, cover me
[15:59] <Miles> <comms> IF anybody would care to lay down some covering fire
[15:59] <Miles> I'd really like to even out our line
[15:59] * Viper7 bounds out of his crater and around to the left
[16:00] * Atomic provides cover for Miles and Vipe
[16:00] * Viper7 slings his E11 and pulls out two blocks of Nergon-14
[16:00] * Thorn heads for another defensive position closer to the dome
[16:01] * Viper7 bounds down to the large hole Atomic blew
[16:01] * Miles watches Viper and blasts a trooper that popped up behind him
[16:01] * Atomic hits another trooper full on in the chest, he flies back on venting gas, half-vapourising on a blob of still molten transparisteel
[16:01] <Thorn> <comms> they are crying for help now, we need to shut them up
[16:01] * Viper7 bounds into the place, and encounteres a zero g trooper.
[16:01] * Miles starts to take in coming mortar fire
[16:02] * Viper7 slaps one of the nergon charges on the trooper's chest and shoves him back out the hole
[16:02] * Viper7 detonates the charge
[16:02] * Thorn smaks the comm sensor system
[16:02] * Padme trips over a crator, i think i sprung my ankle (someone take care of me while i go take care of kids for 5 min)
[16:02] <Miles> <comms> they may be calling for help but they can still shoot
[16:02] * Atomic throws his vibroblade, it soars in the low-g, zero-resistance environment, slicing open a trooper's arm
[16:02] <Thorn> <comms> I cant block their comms and the defensive systems at the same timje
[16:03] * Miles locates the mortar tube
[16:03] * Atomic dodges the trooper as he flies away, screams muffled by vacuum
[16:03] <Miles> <comms> anybody else besides Thorn have a grenade launcher?
[16:03] * Viper7 makes his way deeper into the artificial gravety zone
[16:03] <Atomic> <comms> I have 'nades, no launcher
[16:04] * Viper7 clumps down the corridor, holding his E11 in one hand and a munitions charge in the other
[16:04] * Viper7 locates the proper room and blasts the pannel next to the door
[16:04] <Miles> <comms> they've got a mortar to the left rear of the second dome
[16:04] * Viper7 steps in as the door hisses open
[16:04] * Atomic begins hand to hand combat with a trooper thet snook up on him

[16:05] * Viper7 grins

[16:07] * Thorn checks with the Ikara
[16:07] <Thorn> <comms> Our ships dont pick up anything on long range sensors

[16:09] * Viper7 looks up to see a trooper exiting a room
[16:09] * Thorn sees movement in the last dome
[16:09] * Viper7 wacks him across the faceplate with the datapad and shoves his E11 barrel against a weak point in the armour and fires
[16:09] <Viper7> <comms> i'm comming, damnit
[16:09] * Miles zigzags around large rocks
[16:09] <Thorn> <comms> heads up, we need to take out that last equipment dome

[16:10] * Viper7 blows the charge and dashes out the new hole
[16:10] * Atomic ducks as it explodes, killing at least three troops, slamming several others into jagged rocks
[16:10] * Miles turns around and begins firing at the last dome

[16:12] <Viper7> <comms> a bit of haste would be good
[16:12] * Thorn hunkers in a crater and calls the Hunter
[16:12] <Viper7> <comms> If youre close to the gate, get out that way
[16:12] <Viper7> <comms> Atomic and won't make it that far

[16:13] * Viper7 hits the button on his datapad to detonate the power core
[16:14] * Thorn runs for the canyon opening, dodging fire
[16:14] * Miles sets up a defensive position next to the DHD

[16:21] * Miles runs through the gate
[16:21] * Jol wastes the remainder of his two powerpacks and grenades before following Miles
[16:22] * Atomic watches the event horizon disengage, followed by a piercing blue light shredding its way through the fading canyons and valleys, vaporising everything in its wake, narrowly missing the ATR.
[16:22] * Jol dives through the gate
[16:22] * Miles flips up his faceplate in the gate room
[16:22] <Thorn> I hope they get the iris closed in time
