Previously on Reflections : Arcadia

The Arcadians attempted to take down the power distribution center
 
Bodine has managed to secure himself in the command center, while Boomer has placed several charges
 
But not all has gone according to plan
 
Guards poured out from everywhere and it's been one heck of a firefight
 
When we last left our crew, Captain Jonny was shot in the back and was going down for the count
 
Whatever will we do, will they survive to make it to the final confrontation mere hours away?

CTO Boomer:

Capt Jonny Rome:
::dreams of fresh oranges....then hears loud bangs and slowly crawls back into consciousness....his mouth dry and his whole body aching::
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
::tries to raise himself up on his right arm, but it collapses under him with a sharp pain as the memory of getting shot in the arm returns to him...did he faint? No matter, he looked around for his disruptor and checked the power levels...half::
 
CTO Boomer:
::Continues tossing grenades as long as there is enemy fire coming at her team::

Capt Jonny Rome:

CTO Boomer:
*CO*: Haven't gotten that far, sorry, been busy.
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CTO*: Finish your mission, Boomer. PJ and the marines will just have to cover you! Just...stay alive, ya hear?
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
::looks down as a grenade drops down next to him....looks at it and picks it up in a flash and throws it back:: Self: Christ!
 
CTO Boomer:
*CO*: Understood. Just be ready to break contact when I'm done. Staying in this place won't be healthy, aye?
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CTO*: I'll clear the exit for ya!
 
CIV Bodine:
::after he feels pretty sure he has put in the right commands he attempts to initiate a power grid overload::
 
CIV Bodine:
*CO*: An Entire Sector of power should be toast real soon we might want to Evac ASAP sir.
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
::looks over and sees the Kid still unconscious, his leg bleeding...but not seriously, shallow burn...his system just too weak from the earlier incident::
 
CTO Boomer:
::Tosses a smoke grenade down the hallway to cover her run and then trots down the hall zig-zagging as she goes, carrying her pack of charges as she runs for the generator room. Keeping eyes and ears open, and disruptors ready as she goes::
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CIV*: Good job Captain! Have you made sure the shields and safeties are offline? I don't want this explosion stopping before it reaches the other installations! We only have once chance at this! ::aims over the cover and fires::
 
CIV Bodine:
*CO*: Damn it the shields yer right .. son of a .. ::curses::
 
CTO Boomer:
::Makes her way to the generators and sweeps through the room to make sure it is clear before starting to set her charges::
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
::motions for Tink to throw him a disruptor rifle as his own weapon runs out of power::
 
CIV Bodine:
::tries to find an internal diagram of where the containment shield control might be ::
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CIV*: YES DAMN RIGHT THE SHIELDS! Get the containment shields down! That was your objective, Captain.
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
::feels drowsy and tired after his nap earlier, but charges up the rifle and starts firing blindly down the hallway::
 
CTO Boomer:
::Starts placing charges on the generators, the antimatter feeds, and the containment units::
 
CIV Bodine:
::mutters to himself:: Self: Damn him he is probably standing by some door smoking a cigar while I am trapped in this room doing all the work ...
 
Capt Jonny Rome:

Capt Jonny Rome:
*CTO*: Boomer, come in. ::speaks into his wristband as he squeezes off shots with his other hand::
 
CTO Boomer:
*CO*: Charges laid and surprises set. We are ready to extract Boss.
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CTO*: I don't think I'll be able to clear this exit....is there another way out in the south end?
 
CTO Boomer:
*CO*: I saved enough charges to make one. Have everyone fall back to the generator room and I'll make a hole here.
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CTO*: You read my mind...I'll hold them off a while longer, make sure everyone gets out...that includes me!
 
ACTION: The whole base rumbles as the firefight has started to destabilize the structure.
 
CIV Bodine:
*CO*: Problem sir there is no way to blow the shield generators or overload them from control. We will have to take them out the old fashion way we have I would guess about 30 minutes before the overloading power matrix .. well overloads ... The Shield generators should be 10 meters east of you. I am going to rendezvous with you.
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CIV*: Negative Captain...I'll find them! You meet up with Boomer and extract, I will send your men down to the generator room with my people!
 
CTO Boomer:
::Makes a ribbon charge and places it on the wall, designed to cut a hole in the wall, then backs off behind cover and sets it off::
 
<Marines> ::hearing the CIV:: CO: Sir we do have plenty of gravimetric charges ..
 
CIV Bodine:
*CO*: I Sir as you wish ....
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
Marine: Give them to me....and take Mr. Shield ::motions for the unconscious FCO:: and my Chief Engineer here with you, rendezvous in the generator room for extraction!
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CIV*: Don't worry Captain, I'll be right behind you! I just need you to help clear our people!
 
CIV Bodine:
::checks one last time that the overload is going as planned then opens the sealed hatch to control so he can exit the facility.
 
CTO Boomer:
*CO*: I made a hole Boss, time to go.
 
CTO Boomer:
::Takes up position by the generator room door, covering the hall and waiting::
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CTO*: Keep the exit covered, Bodine is coming and his men are bringing Nick and Tink as well! Nick is injured, he needs medical assistance.
 
<Marines> CO: Sir you should go with your men we can handle this task... ::not wanting to be stolen an opportunity to blow something up::
 
CTO Boomer:
*CO*: I have my kit with me... waiting on you.
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
::turns around:: Marines: Not a chance in hell, I need you guys to get my people out of here and cover me while I make a run for the shield generator....then as soon as I am in place, you guys bail! That is an order!
 
ACTION: dust falls from the ceiling as shooting shakes some loose
 
CTO Boomer:
::Checks outside the exit hole to make sure it's clear::
 
CIV Bodine:
::running down corridors the structure barely holding in front of him falling debris and bodies everywhere:: *CTO*: Estimate 45 Seconds to your location coming in from the west .... fast .. this place is going down ,,
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
::takes the charges:: Marines: Now! Cover me! ::sprints across the hall, firing wildly to his side::
 
CTO Boomer:
*CIV*: Understood, the way out is clear.
 
<Marines> ::all remaining marines frown as Rome darts forward they make the best effort to provide him cover::
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
::sees the hatch and turns the big lever::
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CTO*: Boomer, change of plans...I need to take out the containment shields manually...I'm setting charges now. I'm closed off, but I have an extra charge to take down this wall, from what I remember from the schematics it leads to the outside!
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
::secures the hatch behind him and starts applying gravimetric charges to the large computer and power generator::
 
<Marines> :: three marines cover the CO two help the FCO and CEO ::
 
CTO Boomer:
*CO*: I have charges on the generators, the anti-matter feeds, and the containment units Boss, I think it should take out the whole kit and kaboodle.
 
CIV Bodine:
::panting he catching up with the CTO:: CTO: Status?
 
Capt Jonny Rome:
*CTO*: These containment shields will close the main generator off immediately and make this all for nothing, I will meet up with you at the rendezvous place!

Capt Jonny Rome:
::Three....two....::
 
CTO Boomer:

ACTION: The various charges and overloads set by the CIV and CTO go off in a chain reaction, there is a main explosion that can be seen followed by a number of secondary explosions.
 
ACTION: More explosions are seen following along powerlines and in the distance other power distribution centers can be heard going up as well, power surges also go through planetary power beams to satellites as well, and several defense satellites are destroyed simultaneously.
 
ACTION: All around the nearby areas lights blink out in stages as they lose power, and in the night sky there is a shimmer as portions of the planetary defense grid start phasing out.
