"New Alexandria Hospital," Jorge answered simply. "Looks just like it, at least...that means we're on my homeworld, Reach. But...why are we here?"
Voices, speaking in an unknown language below. Jorge's eyes widened. "Can't be," Jorge whispered, before his expression hardened. The Spartan slipped his helmet back on. "Unknowns coming. Take cover, do not engage unless they're confirmed hostiles." Jorge wielded his HMG, taking cover by a nearby wall. The voices were getting closer. Most were high-pitched, almost to the point of being squeaky. One was deep and threatening...

Jagged Alliance 2 LP (Redux) (Closed!)Hope ducked behind a low wall, pulling his Boomerang out of his back pocket.
"Yup. That tasted purple.""No, I'm not," Jorge replied to Hahli. The Spartan peeked around the corner to see...
"God dammit..." It was as he feared.
"Covenant. Six Grunts, one Elite Minor. Hold..."
Jorge pulled out a frag grenade.
"On my signal..."
He primed and tossed it at the approaching squad. The grunts yelped out in surprise, and the Elite shouted in what was probably a Sangheili curse. The grenade exploded shredding many of the grunts with shrapnel. Most of them died, while a few survived, but were heavily wounded. The elite's shields flared as they deflected the shrapnel.
"Now! Engage!"

Jagged Alliance 2 LP (Redux) (Closed!)Blink vanished, reappeared in the midst of the Covenant squad, and then vanished again, suddenly atop the high place. In both hands, she was holding a heavy, blue weapon. The Elite's Plasma Rifle.
"Huh, I wonder what this thing is? I wonder if it's expensive!" she commented, raising it slightly.
Gordon lept out of cover and blasted the nearest Grunt with a shotgun, tearing open its chest in a shower of blue, bioluminscent blood.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Ravage stepped out of cover and opened fire on the aliens with his blaster. The Predacon focused his fire on the tall one, deducing that the little ones were of little threat.
"So if this is your world, Spartan, what are these organic freaks?"
The Danse Macabre CodexAs the grenade sailed by Yuuka, "Hmm?" She had no idea whatever that lump that the large armored human tossed was.
Then the firing began. "Oh? You should have just said you wanted things to go 'boom'." She lifted her umbrella and began blasting a steady stream of fast-moving flower danmaku straight towards the bigger aliens.

Hope stood up, and launched a fireball at one of the Grunts; the brand
on the back of his left wrist glowing orange as he did so.

Blink released Subaru and stepped back, looking around the new place curiously. Without warning, she began to rapidly teleport around the room.
Most likely to see if there was anything to steal.
