ok u look around but dont see anything that might have woken u up all that u can figure was the popping of the fire must of woken u up cause nothing is out there. ok u get up in the morn and get something to eat in ya and try to get him to consume some water by soaking a cloth and putting it on his lips but nothing. about noon time u'd just be putting wood on the fire u hear a moan from him so u go over and try the water thing again and this time he takes the water and a half hour later (and half a days rations on water) he finally comes to. his eyes are open but u can tell he is not focusing on anything like he's having a hard time seeing straight

wdud

oh ya the reason these posts are coming so quick is its been dead the last few days dont expect this to keep up usually once a day if that so feel spoiled cause it usually isnt like this

I thought luck was behind these frequent posts...

anyway I'm going to keep monitoring this guy to see If I can get him back on his feet...

I also want to go hunting for some food (berries, squirrels whatever), I don't want to break open the rations...

I also need to find some water to replenish my supply...

Throughout my supply gathering I want to keep an eye out for anything in the woods and an eye on the soldier in case he finally makes some progress...

ok he woke up that one time but he shortly went back out. u sit with him for a few to see if he comes back to with no luck so u go forrage. u walk around trying to find what u can and do find a stream and the water does look clean but ur not sure if its pure. u look threw the survival kit u got out of the tank and find inside the first aid kit water purification pills (enough for about a weeks worth of rations for both of you. now the whole time ur walking threw the woods you dont see any wild life or hints of wild life (tracks, poop nothing) its almost as if there is none. you do find a few berries but hardly enough to keep u full let alone both of you. just as ur ready to go back to the cabin u see something that catches ur eye.

off in the distance u see what looks like one of the assault bikes with the side car (the sp[ace marine ones) toppled over and all bent up. u pull ur gun out and check it out and see there is two dead soldiers that was ridding the bike (one is ripped in half) when u look around the area it looks as if they were being chased and wrecked. again there are allot of craters or blasts marks from behind them and it looks as if one caught the bike and threw it quite a ways. when u look a lil closer about the only way it could of happened is from above like a plane or copter was chasing it and firing air to ground missels at the bike kinda like what might of happened to you. when u look at the bike u can see right where the shells hit the bike and bent up the frame and threw off the riders. when u look at them u see the one was ripped in half and the other looks as if he broke his neck but either way they are both worm food now.
u search them and the bike and find the following

2 bolt guns 4 clips each
1 sniper rifle 12 shells
long range binnoculars with range finder and low light settings
weeks worth of rations and 2 weeks rations of water
walkie talkie
6 smoke gernades (green smoke)
6 frag gernades
6 knifes (2 army issue 4 throwing)
a pair of brass knuckles with 4 spikes on the finger areas
the bike has
heavy bolter with 500 rounds (it was hooked to the bike and when it flipped it bent the mount so it'll be hard to get it off w/o a torch or something)
a few basic tools
6 flares
bigger radio than the walkie

wdud

I'm going to take the rations with me...
I'm going to take the binoculars with me...
Take the walkie talkie...
and I'll take the flares...
I'll take frag grenades...
and I'll take the knives...
and a bolt gun with the clips...
(my priorities are in order so if anything doesn't fit just take the top most ones.)

I want to turn on the radio and listen to see if there are any friendly or enemy broadcasts...

ok u get all that into ur pack but its starting to get full now.

u turn on the radio but dont hear anything at first so u leave it on (u had one of these in the rinos emergency kit so if nothing else u'll have extra batteries) just in case someone does come across.

ok u head back to the cabin and rest up. while ur sitting here it comes to mind that u have a survival manual for this planet so u get it out to see what it says about food and getting food. while ur sitting there reading ur guy starts moaning and finally comes to. the first thing he says is damn that hurt then asks for water.

wdud

I give him some water and ask him his name and what he can remember about why we're here...

ok he has more of his memory although he did loose some justy not as much as u did. he tells u he remembers landing on the planet because they stopped paying their dues to the imperial's and claimed their freedom so we were sent to crush the resistance. he tells u we split up into two man squads and sent out to feel the defences to see what we were up against. he tells u he remembers a plane coming out of nowhere and opening fire on us but thats it he dont remember anything else and he dont remember his name until he looks at his dog tags and he kinda remembers u but then again he's not too sure, he thinks he had never seen u b4 u were teamed up together.

he asks where we are and how we got here and if u've heard form anybody.

wdud

I want to tell him what I've learned so far... that I don't know where we are, who I am, why we're here, what I've seen...

I also want to ask him if he's well enough to get going... I want to make my way to the Rhino...

ok he listens to what u have to say and tells u that he has gaps in his memory as well but it seems like u lost more than him. he remembers the plane coming out of nowhere and opening up hell upon us for a few mins and then there was one big asz boom and it actually lifted opne of the corners of the rino but thats it. he reaches for ur dog tag and says yep thats what i thought ur from another unit than i was from, he's not sure why they mixed us up but they did.

he tells u ya he's ready to go and tries to get up and actually stands up but as soon as he does he starts to look funny and.....(dm rolls) and u just barely catch his as he passes out again, it was like the blood reached his head and out he went, u seen it coming by the look on his face.
he's out for about a min or two b4 he wakes back up and looks at u and giggles and says "boy that was a cool feeling"

u figure it'll take another half day at least if not a day b4 he's ready to go. its about 2 or 3 in the afternoon u'd guess.

whats ur plan stan

Let's wait until noon the next day then let's get packed up and head to the rhino...

ok he tells u that he can make it he can make it but when he tries u know he cant and finally he says ok to the next day. u guys are sitting around looking at that survival book (he would of seen it on the floor from where u was looking at it earlier) and learning about the diff things with this planet when u hear the walkie talkie chirp.

it sounds like someone keying it up but not talking, just hitting the button. ur have no clue whats it is and blow it off but (ok i kept forgetting to name him and its getting to the point i have to...ummmm...lets see....... urs is stig....... Mord will be his name (if i can remember) kinda like a board 2x4 u know wood but with a m mord) ok mord tells u that is code its a form of space marine code if i remember right . u can tell its been a long time since he's done this and he is trying real hard to remember it. he tells u to hit the key (the button on the walkie talkie) three short times. there is silence for a min or two then another message comes in and he tells u to do a series of diff ones. u ask what that is and he tells u he told them to slow down. and sure enough the things come in slower. now it takes a good 20 mins and he tells u there is more survivors from our group, they have 3 guys but they are a ways off. he tells u that this planet was prepared for us they knew when they stopped sending money we would come so they got ready and boy were they.

now for the next hour u guys sit there beeping back and forth with someone u have no clue what all this is but by the time its over and all the questions u've asked along the way u start to pick things up and can understand a lil bit, mostly common words (and, the, we you us etc etc) but regardless u start to pick it up. mord tells you that the three of them are all from diff groups were the only 2 that has made it together, but the 3 out there found each other and have been trying to find more that made it. they will be coming here or this way tonight as walking around in the day light is not the best of ideas, at least not out in open areas. he tells u they found it safe to move in woods but out in the open is not a good idea. they also have not been able to reach the base or anyone in command at all. they know they are a ways off and could be out of range but they would think command would have boosters to be able to broadcast to us we might not be able to talk back but they should reach us.

as ur sitting there thinking u start to wonder why these guys u was talking to used a space marine code when there are other codes that could be used. now the imperial guard doesnt have an official code themselves but still why not one of the more popular codes why SM code. it really starts to get to u deep inside like maybe they are not who they say they are. but then again they did know things or said things that was right on the money but.....


so whats ur next move

I want to wait for them to get to us...

But before they do I want to set up a rendezvous time...

I want to do that because I want to be in hiding where Mord and I can see them but they can't see us, in case they are the enemy trying to get the stragglers... (you know what I mean?)

ok mord tells u thats prob a good idea and maybe we should have them meet us at the rino and if they are the bad guys we can fall back to here as all i told them b4 was the general area we were at and that we were stuck here cause i was messed up and couldnt travel, thats why they were coming to us. but u eventually get ahold of them (they didnt answer right away, they told u they were in a area they couldnt talk) but they tell u that they will home in on the rino and they are not sure what time it'll be it depends on how fast they can cross the open ground. they guess it'll be close to morning b4 they get there but thats just a guess.

ok by the time ur ready to take a nap and get sum shut eye b4 u have to go stake out the area, but right b4 u go out mord finally gets up and moves around a lil. he tells u he wants to be able to move by the time they get here but he's rested u should take the cot and get som z's. he finally wakes u up, its allot later than the time u 2 talked about he tells u that u looked like u needed it but he has a good fire going and food heated up (sum of the rations but cooked and not just luke warm) he tells u he already ate but hes going to catch a hour or two of sleep and then u two can take off and set up around the rino.

is there anything ur doing b4 u two take off for the rino

I want to turn on the radio (big one) quick and listen...

Also I want to have a gun ready... I have a feeling if these guys are bad, they won't hesitate to follow our tracks to us...
