Naomi: I guess.
Hmm.
One thing before we go, though.
-Meanwhile, at the research base...-
-Noble Six swaps magazines in his assault rifle so quickly and fluidly that you'd swear he was just fiddling around with his gun for tricks-
-As gunfire erupts from the base, its complement of Terran Marines defending it, the Spartan leans out of cover and unloads a long burst from his MA37, the high-caliber ammunition tearing through the chitin of one of the bugs at the edge of the base and splattering its alien blood over the snow-
-The bug, merely pertubed by the rifle's comparatively small ammo, charges him and opens fire with its strange, biological spine weapon. One of the spines rams into his energy shield and it flickers yellow as half of it is drained in one shot, but Six dives forwards, and takes advantage of the bug's massive size to combat roll under it-
-Before the xeno can figure out what, exactly, he just did, Six grabs onto its exoskeleton, and in two strides climbs up its back, before delivering a lethally strong punch to the back of its head. This being a massive bug as tall as an SUV is long, it doesn't quite kill-
-But it does stun long enough for Six to jam his assault rifle against the back of its head and unload his last sixteen rounds into it. The bug falls over, dead, the Spartan propelling himself behind the defensive perimeter with the motion and sliding back into cover as another errant spine pops his energy shields-
-He takes a moment to look around as he switches magazines in another deft motion, taking a look at what everyone else is doing as he notes how fast he's burning through ammo to deal with these guys-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Well, out of the corner of Six's eye, he can see-
-...Holy shit, what the hell is Omar doing, he sounds like he's lost his marbles as he systematically pops the limbs off one of these giant bugs with his shotgun before gunning it down like a sitting duck-
-For a nice collected guy, he sure acts like he loves the smell of gunpowder through the blistering snow and rancid smell of bug guts, considering how he's reloaded, pulled out a grenade, and is charging right at another one of these bugs while screaming something in that foreign tongue of his-

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Suzu: I dont think we should wait too long.... were going to have to go through that.
-Points up to the chaos in the sky-
Longer we wait the less allies we have....
-Six acrobatics and Omars zellocy manage to impress the nearby marines, who cant really show it in combat given there masssive metal frames-
-But one does wave the remaining people over and call out-
Marine: Hey mercs! Your shuttle has landed, and I dont think you want to miss the last flight off cyrogen!

Naomi: One of you guys that isn't human...
-Pulls out the gift-
You should give this to him. It'll ingratiate Six with you. Make him a bit less likely to shoot you all.
-Six provides cover fire for Omar as the insane Hashassin does what comes naturally-
Six: -to the Marine- Got it! I'll recall everyone!
-speaks via radio to everyone... even the people on expedition. What they hear is...-
BRAKBRAKBRAKBRAKBRAK
Six speaking! The research base has turned into a warzone! Last shuttle off this planet's here, now! Everyone at base, it'd behoove you to-FUCK!
-sounds of energy shields popping, metal denting, chitin rending, knife stabbing and then more gunfire-
-to get into the shuttle! If the folks on expedition can hear me, get the heck back to base ASAP!

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Roy" "Sure...anything for Boss..."
-*Near Six and Omar, there's Longram covered in an improv wall made of giant bug carcasses and a familiar tesla turret defending his part of the base. On radio, you hear roars of shotguns and zapps of lightning from the turret.*
Longram: <Roger that!>
-*But with the shuttle her, the man quickly get his turret and time to bail with his allies.*

[Research Station]
(Cath throws some cards at some bugs near Longram, Red is shooting whilst making her way to the shuttle, mumbling about an upgrade, and Zero... Doesn't seem to be present. Wait, never mind, she tears herself out of one of the bugs, breathing heavily. Seems she was eaten. She starts walking to the shuttle.)
Naomi: You know what we've got bigger problems. You do it.
-tosses the present to Asagi, then gets back on the radio-
[Hey, Scary Space Marine, our truck's kinda smashed! We've got good news for the scientists but could you get them to drop down by the army base's location and pick us up?]
Six: Understood!
-Climbs aboard the shuttle and heads up towards the cockpit-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Eurybe surfaces with the others-
Eurybe: ...This is... unexpected. ._.
@Naomi: Well, he wasn't shooting at me before...
-Meanwhile, Lisa and Hathor are attacking a pair a big bugs-
-Hathor is using her mace, now electrified by her magic, to gracefully thwack at her adversary-
-Lisa, meanwhile, fires at her bug with her shotgun-
-brutally stabbing it with her katana once it gets a bit too close to her-
Longram: "Appreciate that Cath, I owe ya one!"
-*Once he reaches the shuttle, he gestures Cath to geth on board until a giant bug tries to swoop down and eat Cath. But some quick reflex from the Ex-Enclave made quick work with the bug now full of holes, crashing into the snow.*

-After a moment Six drops a word with the shuttle pilots to stop by the location of the underwater army base to pick up the rest of his buddies-
-a few seconds before Naomi manages to get the shuttle actual GPS co-ordinates of where to go-
Six: [Evac's coming, just hold out!]
-Fires on any bugs that get close to the transport-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-Hector is falling back to the shuttle, firing off Bolters while throwing out a multiple string of expletives in both english, high gothic, low gothic, along with the word 'tyranid' repeatedly. He blows multiple holes in -
Hector: those heretics are alive?! and worse yet they made us stay here fighting these things for 3 weeks! I am going to wring their necks!
-Einar meanwhile is happily mixing it up with a group of bugs, cutting into one with his eviscerator and getting sprayed with bug guts in response, but regardless he retreats when ordered to. Leaving a krak grenade as an explosive present for any bugs that chase after him immediately-
-Amongst the explosions and bio weapons the groups shuttle lifts off and begins to head to space, before it gets Noaimi's ing and heads over to the icy wastes-
-As it passes over the research base though you can see the terran marines have about the same plan as you guys considering there boarding there own shuttle-

Roy: "...You guys do that, I'm poofed for now."
