=/\= TR 1 =/\= Acheson looked over to the transporter technician: "How much more time?" "10 seconds, sir." He smiled and got himself ready. Moments later, he was off, dematerialized and sent back to the Holodeck for more training. As he rematerialized, he looked around to where he was. The blue flag stood prominently behind him and he quickly dove for cover. +TAPS+ Acheson to Haines, come in!" +TAPS+ "Haines here." "What are you doing?" "I just rematerialized a few minutes ago. I figured red team will make a big push for the flag now, so I'm having my men take cover." Acheson's squad regrouped around him in the small trench near the blue flag. "Sir, what should we do?" "Hold tight." He ordered the men to take concealed positions around the flag. The offensive maneuvers had failed and the defensive ones were not about to. He heard something in the dense underbrush ahead and had his men get ready. Suddenly, black objects started flying toward him and he knew instantly what was up. "Grenades!" He jumped from his position and ran back, taking cover just as the explosives burst, sending chucks of soil into the air. Haines's position was similarly assaulted and he tried to take cover himself, losing several members from the concussive force of the blast. "Shit" Acheson cried out, as he looked for his attackers. The brush erupted in phaser fire, which Acheson returned. One member charged forward, trying to grab the flag. Acheson aimed his rifle and fired, missing. He kept firing, trying to hit this red team member. The ODA officer grabbed the flag and started running back. As he did, a grenade near him burst, sending thick white smoke throughout the area. Acheson's field of vision was completely compromised and he frantically fired his rifle into the smoke, in hopes of hitting someone. He fired for only a few moments before he heard the sound of a transporter dematerializing. He grinned, but suddenly saw a blue beam hit him and he dematerialized thereafter. "Son of a ...." =/\= TR 1 =/\= The technician was chuckling, as he handled the controls. "That was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time." Acheson looked to his side and saw Ensign Haines, confused about what had happened. The technician explained: "You got so confused by that ODA tactic that you shot each other. My data shows 2 friendly fire casualties" =/\= END LOG =/\= MCapt Acheson CTAC USS Chimera -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
