Stargate (Sniper's Perch)
Argolis

As Andrew checked the current mag for any dirt or anything. Frankly he was bored as. Maybe he could shoot some random animal, blame it on some other animal. Though that probably never work. He just hated doing nothing. 'But you've done this before. Sneaking into encampments and waiting for the perfect shot' He thought. "Screw the shot. Least then I had something to do" he said to himself. He checked to make sure the radio was off on his end. Which it was, he heard the babbling from the group. He hoped they had some keyword to use for trouble. But he guessed 'help' would do.

The Stargate started spinning, he sighed and then grinned. Sighing because they were early, but grinning because the battle had begun.

"Johnson here, we got gatecrashers dialling in. Ready to engage" he said into the radio as he shifted position. He aimed for exactly where the person head may come out.

But the person came out wasn't who he expected. "Ahhh.. Negative on OPFOR.. Its a friendly. Johnson Out" he reported as he picked up a rock and threw it at Frank.

"What your so special that you need your own wormhole now?" he asked his ex-demolitions member. Frank and him had served on SD-5 together, they blew more stuff up in that one mission than previous missions. He came down from his perch to stand beside him.

"I've set up claymores and C4 on the left and right flank.. Wouldn't mind more ordinance out there.. and could you make sure it goes off with a bang" he said smiling, pointing to the various positions of where he laid the traps. He knew Frank always carried more explosive ordinance than anything else

"We will pick them up when the diplomatic talks have ended. Don't want friendly casualties." he stated as he looked Frank up and down. "NID eh?.. I'm IOA Field Ops.. why do they choose the cool people" he said as he started to walk up. "Channel 2" he said to Frank, channel 2 was the standard channel for SD-5 missions. That way him and Frank could talk privately.

As he found his position, he covered Frank as the man laid the explosives at choke points. He could hear the British girl talk again. "Bloody Brits.. they are crazy" he mumbled.

"Johnson to Ross. We are fortifying the gate" taking a small breath he continued. "Have fun.. And I wouldn't mind a baseball cap if there’s any at the souvenir shop" he added

Shawn smiled when she looked towards him though. Smiling Shawn replied. "I will defiantly keep that in mind Savannah we’ll need all the help we can get.” Shawn replied, he looked out at the entrance of the meeting place for a moment before turning back towards Savannah. Shawn fell silent for a little while looking around the area they where in he watched as the negations where about to start up though Shawn looked the other way he hoped that things wouldn’t go south but most likely they will. “It might not look it but this would be my first of world mission.” Shawn added in with an embarrassed look on his face.

Sura's attention was turned to the voice in her ear, "Johnson here, we got gatecrashers dialing in. Ready to engage"
'Oh jeez...' she thought, her hand tightening upon her P-90, her eyes snapping in the direction of the gate. Just as she was about to respond, his voice continued within her head, "Ahhh.. Negative on OPFOR.. Its a friendly. Johnson Out"
"Good to know. Thanks for the update, Johnson. Ross-out." she replied, relieved that it was just a false alarm. The last thing they needed right now was some surprise company. Things were going perfectly to plan down at the meeting, and the Captain didn't want to screw that up.

"Johnson to Ross. We are fortifying the gate" taking a small breath he continued. "Have fun.. And I wouldn't mind a baseball cap if there’s any at the souvenir shop" he added, Ross smiling before replying, "Aww...and I was gonna get ya a grass skirt and everything! Fine then...don't hurt yourself 'fortifying the gate'. Ross-out."

Sura apologized to the man she was talking to, "Sorry about that - mistaken security risk."
"Are weapons really necessary? It makes it seem like you people are just here to kill us all instead of negotiate."
"Just think of us here to protect you if anything goes wrong..." Sura attempted to comfort, mustering up a friendly smile to comfort the man.

A rock bounced off just a few meters away from his position. He watched it as it rolled downhill, making mild crackling noises as it bounced back and forth from the earth. He continued walking, but was stopped by a familiar voice. "What your so special that you need your own wormhole now?"

He grinned as he turned around to meet with his past TL, who rushed down from his position to stand next to him. "I've always been special." he said with a laugh as he shaked his hand, but before he could say anything Andrew spoke up "I've set up claymores and C4 on the left and right flank.. Wouldn't mind more ordinance out there.. and could you make sure it goes off with a bang"

Frank couldn't help but grin again, he was the same old Andrew, no time for talk, straight to the job. "Anything else, maybe a coffe at the side?" he asked sarcastically. "Hey, how about 'Hi how have you been?' 'Long time no see.'" he replied, acting as a victim. He reached for his vest pockets an took out some C-4 explosives, "You're lucky that I'm in the mood of blowing things up."

He eyed him back, something was different about him, physically. Was it the shave? Nah... Maybe the haircut, his eyes stopped at the IOA patch bordered in his uniform. "Who would've thought you would end up in a suit and tie job." he stated flicking his radio to channel two. And made his way down the hill, back to the gate. 'God... how he missed being offworld'

As Frank planted the first explosive, he pressed the 'talk' button on his radio, "Well, so why all the heavy ordinance, planning a party?"

"Hmmm, I don't think the skirt will match my eyes, vest and gun. But you can get one for you." he replied over the TacSet. He laughed as he heard the last bit "Hurt myself. How can someone hurt themselves while playing with explosive ordinance" he joked as he turned back to Frank.

"You know how it is.. We have parties and we get Gatecrasher's" he said as he stopped. He kept using that pun. 'I need a new one' He thought. "Plus, Name a time when we were around that diplomatic talks were diplomatic?" he asked as he refitted his scope.

"What I wouldn't give to be military again Demo" he said as he used the man's callsign. "Everything bad happens to us Frank. Civil wars, crashing runabouts, falling flaktowers..So how about you hurry up planting things that will rip them to bits and find some place to stay put." he stated as he laid there. He really hoped their was action soon. Or he'd create his own if he had to, he was sure Demo would go along with it.

As Calmara walked towards the meeting point some interesting technology caught his eye

"Cap'n Ross sir, i've just seen something interesting, permision to go check it out?"

<Ross>

"aye sir will do, Cap'n Benning you coming sir?"

Calmara wanderd through the camp restraping his weapon as he did to make him seem more friendly, reaching the camps outskirts and a piller like metalic object they had a look around.

Frank laughed at Andrew's joke, he was getting better at it. He had brought lots of heavy explosives, more than they would need. But Frank never liked to take chances, you never knew when you would need an extra 'boom'. "You know how it is.. We have parties and we get Gatecrasher's"

"Yeah... I always fancied roof raising parties." he replied with a grin, and looked up, there was no roof, but the clear blue sky, outlined by the two suns. "Wait, that was wrong, how about ground shaking parties." he stated as the last of the explosives Frank thought they would need was planted. He then got to a safe detonation distance, and hid behind some trees that gave him a clear sight of the Stargate and its surroundings. As he checked that his P90 was fully loaded, he heard Andrew say something about how he missed military life, Frank sighed remembering his days back at Earth when he was still military, he wouldn't miss that life. Being NID wasn't so bad, at least he got a nice suit and passage to the Delian Galaxy,

"So what's your story?" he asked over the radio.

"Oh wow, that was nice to know. This just happens to be my first off-world mission also. If you wanna know who you're up against, here's a binder that I got from Kent McKillop, or McKillop, or........you get the picture." she stated to Shawn as she handed the binder over to him and she picked up her walking speed.

Here goes nothing

"Hmmm, I don't think the skirt will match my eyes, vest and gun. But you can get one for you."
"Aww...always one to make a fashion statement, I see...maybe I'll go for something black. Now that goes with everything."
"Hurt myself. How can someone hurt themselves while playing with explosive ordinance?"
"Oh, it's hard to imagine..."

"Cap'n Ross sir, i've just seen something interesting, permision to go check it out?"
Sura turned towards their very own techy - Calmara - and nodded, "Go ahead; just be sure it won't get us kicked out, or get us any unneeded attention, Calmara. Let me know if you find anything worth while."

Sura's ice-blue eyes raced across the mass of races that were surrounding them. It was incredible that things were going as smoothly as they were. No sudden outburst of violence, no hot-blooded argument...it was amazing. Almost inspiring.

With all this 'peace', the Captain found her mind wandering slightly. It wasn't that she hated when things went well - it just didn't require as much as her attention...actually it required more - so she could find the break in the peace. Nothing went this well...

'Famous last words...I really need to stop jinxing myself...'

"You know how it is.. Bactra.. then.. yeah some missions back with the SAS, then I'm back here for the IOA.. And man, They are more annoying than civilians were" He replied shaking his head. He realised they were both civilians. "But you could call us PMC's in a way" he laughed as he checked the area with the scope.

"So damn silent. Its not battle that scares me. It's the waiting, remember that time on that planet that kept going resetting its self.. I mean we must have killed heaps. But least we knew they were coming. Here, Now. You know something's going to happen.

Ok.. The first line of explosives on the left is phase line Alpha, second is Bravo.. Right is Charlie and Delta. If we get surrounded I want maximum opfor casualties." he stated through the radio. He clicked it back to the units channel.. But heard nothing but gibberish, so he turned it back to channel 2.

"Maybe the enemy didn't get the invites" he laughed.

Meeting
Argolis

The team slowly moved forward toward the meeting ground. Around them, small knots of delegates had formed and were engaged in conversation, most of them were the same species, though it seemed a few brave souls were intermingling with the other species. While these 'aliens' all shared two things in common - a hatred of the Olympians, and a desire to trade with one another, generations of enslavement and wars had distanced them, making the allegiance that little bit more difficult to maintain.

Kent decided it would be best to move around the groups one at a time, presenting their case and seeing what sort of offers or assistance they could be granted. He wasn't expecting a good response to their requests; so far, all these races had been interested in exchanging was information, fearing that if their people were seen to be assisting the expedition, the full force of the Olympian empire would be brought to bear on them. Most were only small tribes, barely escaping Olympian notice, and they liked to keep it that way.

"So Captain," Kent said, moving to Sura's side. "Where about would you like us to start?"

Frank sat on the mushy grass, it was going to be a long wait. "Don't worry, you'll have plenty of warning when they arrive, I'll try to leave you some to dispatch." he said as he mentalized the explosive sites, they were good for a small incursion, but would be no good for a whole army, good thing that the Stargate was big enough for no more than five people to step in at a time, but again, they wouldn't stand a chance if the enemy came by ship.

"A shame if they didn't get them, they were really nice." he continued. Humor was the only thing keeping both of them sane. You couldn't worry about the battle to come, that only would get you more nervous.

"What kind of 'guests' are we expecting?" he asked curious to know more about the enemy, "You know I don't like surprise parties" he said with a smile, and focused his attention on the gate.

Meeting
Argolis

Nikolai was walking around the camp with his sniper rifle strapped across his shoulder and his MP-5 attached to his vest, his vest packed with various colored smoke as well as spare magazines for his rifle and pistol. The German caught sight of Kent and Sura and walked over to them to introduce himself. Since departing he hadn't been able to talk to anyone but now he had the time, especially since he hadn't been chosen to guard the Stargate.

He caught up to Kent and Sura, "Captain Rozz, Doctor Mckillop. Zergeant Van Schmitt reporting in. I waz wondering zirz at where you would like myzelf for thiz operation?" he asked in his thick German accent. He gave a quick salute, that was common from the German spec forces, then wait for their response.

"So Captain," Kent said, moving to Sura's side. "Where about would you like us to start?"

The Captain's eyes did another sweep of the area, before finally latching back onto Kent.
"We should probably go join the real meeting inside, instead of the love-fest out here," Ross smiled, "We want these people...s," she continued, slightly delayed in her changing people to even more plural...if that makes any sense, "...to be on our side. That means trust us, like us, and not feel threatened by us in any way," she glanced down at the gun still cradled in her arms, "Okay...so they won't think we're pansies since we're being cautious," she smirked, "Better safe then sorry, eh?"

As Sura turned to go towards the large meeting building, a German accent pulled her back.
"Captain Rozz, Doctor Mckillop. Zergeant Van Schmitt reporting in. I waz wondering zirz at where you would like myzelf for thiz operation?"

Sura's mouth slid to the side in thought, "I think I've got an idea..." she gave him a friendly smile, before she pressed the button on her radio, "Hey Johnson - need any help up there? I've got another pair of sniper-ready hands down here, that could keep ya entertained."

[OOC: Let's get this thread a-movin'! :BIC]

[Erik Marshall]

0749
Meeting
Argolis

Erik had been silent trying to think of everything that he may have to say in the upcoming meeting so he follwed the team. Erik walked into the building wiping the sweat from his head, taking his sunglasses off, and taking his pistol and putting it in his back pack. No need to show that he had a weapon on in peace and trade talks and never back on Earth would he have had a weapon but being in the Delian Galaxy was a whole new ball park. So he followed into a room where the other delgates were.

So Erik sat down at a table that was reserved with the rest of the team as the delgations began. An Alcaran in a Green Mask stood up "Thank you for all coming today" it said, Erik wasn't sure if it was a male or a female. So it continued "The Alcarans would like to offer its hands to those who fight the Olympians something that we can not do at our current time so if anyone needs scientific or engineering help let us know for we wish to help those that we can, however as of now we can't offer to many raw materials as our fleet is using up them because the Olympians have been building up their fleet as well" it sat down when Erik got up to speak.

Erik got up and weakly waved his hand then said "Hello my fellow delgates I'm Erik Marhall of the Delta Site" he breathed "I would just like to thank you all for coming but I have urgent news and a plea for you all" he said wiping the seat from his head, he didn't like just asking for request right away but time was an issuse "Right now the delta site has an Olympian fleet coming towards it so we are hoping to get support from any of you" he finished and sat down when a Nemeans spoke up

"What would you need of us?" a femal delgate asked and a Giganite stood up and nodded at the question.

So Erik responded "Well we need warriors because the Olympians are going to land soldiers and any support we can will be greatly appreciated and we will compensate your help with supplies or anything else that you may require" he respond hoping that they wouldn't ask for anything to much

So the Female Delgate from Nemeans spoke again "If we are to help you we will need many of your weapons along with engineering, materials, and man power to help us build defenses against the threat of the Olympians if we are to help so do you agree to these terms?" she asked

Erik wasn't sure if he was really allowed to make that decision and dedicate that many resources for the help so he looked at Captain Sura hoping that she would respond or anyone else for that matter.

<Tag Sure, anyone else who wants to respond>
