======= Holodeck 1, USS Chimera ======= For many hours ODA personal had been taking it in terns to run the program that Williams and Lynnch had created. This was Ra’nars third run, each time he was assigned a different objective, this time he was to get to the bridge of the Nova class vessel and secure the area. Ra’nar moved though the battened hull of Deck two, the hull only lit by the touches on the rifles of the four man fire team. Even with this it was still possible for a creature to pounce out of any position, so it was important to stay aware at all times. Ra’nar dropped to one knee and raised a closed fist in the air as they approached the second turn in the hull, all three men dropped to one knee, holding the position with their steady. Ra’nar moved to the corner keeping his back to the wall and switching off his touch. As he stood, silently, almost too cautious to breathe, he could hear a strange clicking noise and although strange he recognised it from the two previous simulations. Ra’nar moved back to his fire team, and pointed to his grenade and then to the three men, sure enough they all took hold of their grenades and removed the safety pins and followed Ra’nar back to the corner. Ra’nar counted down to three with his fingers and on three all four ODA members tossed their grenades around the corner, as the blast echoed back to them animal like screams reverberated the hull in an awesome blare. Ra’nar and the fire team stormed round the corner with their weapons blazing, the fire impacted on two blooded cockroaches ripping the already torn flesh further from their bodies. Ra’nar quickly scanned the rest of the area with his rifle, touch now engaged, to find nothing else between the team and the access point. “Clear!” shouted Ra’nar and moved with his team to the access point. It was not a long clime but the ‘excitement’ made it feel so. So far Ra’nar’s fire team had preformed excellently in the past two objectives along with most other fire teams and he did not want his team to be the one that messed up. When the team got to the access point they stopped and waited. They had been told that a second fire team would storm the bridge from another access point on the other side of the bridge, at which time Ra’nar’s team would spring into action resulting in a cross fire that would cut the cockroaches to pieces. They did not have to wait for long, soon enough phaser fire echoed though the room and Ra’nar’s team leapt out firing. In the centre of the bridge three cockroaches fell under the pressure of the eight weapons blazing away. Ra’nar quick turned his attention to the one left that had been at the tactical station and was now charging him. He fired a frantic steam into the ‘head’ of the creature, but the thing still managed to swing its claws at Ra’nar catching him twice in the left leg. [Private Ra’nar injured, injured. Lower left leg, upper left leg.] Announced the Computer as the firing stopped. Ra’nar sighed and then turned to the second fire team, “flash!” Shouted Ra’nar identifying himself. “Thunder!” Came the reply as the second team identified themselves and friendly. At which stage Ra’nar lowered his weapon. But then One of the men on from the second team opened fire. Ra’nar darted around to see what was being fired at but could not see anything, he then realised that one this team was being mowed down. “Check fire!!” shouted Ra’nar, but to no effect as he too was stuck twice in the chest, before being transferred out of the simulation. ======= End Log ====== Private Ra'nar ODA Medical Specialist USS Chimera _________________________________________________________________ Winks & nudges are here - download MSN Messenger 7.0 today! http://messenger.msn.co.uk
