Host Team Commander says:
Clues
to the reasons for the Stargate's building collapse have begun to
surface.
Several areas along the back of the building showed signs of
tampering, where
sections of the wall had been pushed in and the earth beneath them dug
away.
Host Team Commander says:
Hand
prints found on the wall, indicated that the believed perpetrators
were small
in stature, their hand prints being the size of a human child's with
five
digits. One set of foot prints led away from the building site into
the woods.
Host Team Commander says:
A
recon team has been following the trail through the woods and has just
emerged
onto an open area that surrounds the base of a set of
mountains. Rustling
sounds in the trees followed by the discovery of another set of prints
in the
earth have made the team anxious to find the person who belongs to
them.
Host Team Commander says:
Three
hours have passed and the sky is growing darker as night descends on
the Vega 1
team. The group is resting and planning their next move. Will they
venture into
the mountains in search of their mystery intruder, or will they forget
the
chase and head back to camp where the coffee is hot and the beds are
soft?

Everyone ready? ::grabbing his pack::

WS_2Lt_Michaels says:

Yes, Sir. ::Pulls the P90 up

ready::

CO:
No... But don't let that stop you.

CE_2LT_Taner says:
::pulls
out his scope he picked up from the armory and tries to spot this

distance in the path he thinks it took::
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
::Walks
up next to Taner:: CE: Anything?
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
All:
Ok Taner and Dak on point, MacIntyre and myself will bring up the
rear.
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
CO:
Yes, Sir. ::Moves
out:::
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
All:
Let's try radio silence unless you have an
emergency.
CE_2LT_Taner says:
WS: No, I don't see anything. That bugger could be invisible or
blends in
with the ground or those prints could be much older than a few
hours.
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
::Nods
to Taner who is right next to her as they move
out::
CE_2LT_Taner says:
::stands
and moves towards the mountain::
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
::
puts himself a couple meters from Pierce ::
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
CE:
Conserve your energy as much as possible.
I figure we have at least 9 miles before we reach the
base.
CE_2LT_Taner says:
WS: This is a walk in the park for
me. ::smiles to
Dak::
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
CE:
Yeah, well, we'll see how much a walk in the park it is when I have to
carry
you back to base camp. ::Grins
and
speeds up the pace::
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
SCI:
So MacIntyre what do you preferred to be
called?
CE_2LT_Taner says:
::
continues to check for the footprints every 100 feet or so to make
sure they
are continuing in the right direction::
Host Team Commander says:
ACTION:
The clouds continue to gather over the mountains as the drizzle begins
to turn
to a steady rain now.
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
CO:
Anything but "Doctor MacIntyre". I'll answer to Eddie,
Techmo, or
Tek. 'Techmo' is a nickname I picked up years
ago.
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
SCI:
Tek is a catchy name...Tek it is.
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
::Looks
up as the rain begins to fall.
Squints
and pulls her cap lower over her face::
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
::
smiles :: CO: And you, sir... when we're not calling you
'sir'?
Host Team Commander says:
ACTION:
The rain disappears into the parched ground as the team moves
along.
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
::notes
the weather:: SCI: A good day by England
weather...
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
SCI:
Seems Doc has been the favorite.
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
::
nods :: CO: Okay. Makes sense to me.
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
::keeps
Taner and Dak in view as they mask their
movements::
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
CO:
Do you get the feeling that our invisible quarry has been leading us
on? I
think they could have lost us any time they wanted
to.
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
SCI:
I feel the same Tek, I feel the same...
CE_2LT_Taner says:
::sees
that with this addition of rain that the tracks will start to slowly
disappear
and tries to signal the CO to move up to him as they continue to
move::
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
::see's
Taner hand signal, starts to move to them:: SCI: Let's
go...
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
::Trudges
ahead, careful not to slip on the rocks.
Zips her jacket all the way up::
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
::
trots to keep pace with Pierce ::
CE_2LT_Taner says:
::slows
down a tad to let the doc close to him::
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
CE:
What's up Taner?
CE_2LT_Taner says:
CO: Sir, with this new addition of the
rain, our
little friend's tracks will start to slowly disappear. I suggest we try to pick up the
pace so we
don't lose them before we can find out where he went
to.
Host Team Commander says:
ACTION:
The rocky terrain slows the team down a bit but they trudge on
following their
quarry.
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
CE:
Agreed, ok everyone time for a combat jog.
CE_2LT_Taner says:
::hears
the CO's command and starts to move a little faster, now checking
every 200-300
meters for the tracks::
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
SCI:
Hope you like to jog..::keeps pace with Taner and
Dak::
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
Self:
Oi... :: manages to keep up
with the
others ::
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
::Stops
to look at something dangling from a small bush. Pulls what appears to be a small piece of fabric from
the
branch. Waits for Taner to
catch up
then shows him the fabric::
CE: Our
"friend" wears clothes....
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
::
holds out his hand :: WS: May I?
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
::Hands
the cloth to MacIntyre:: SCI: Be my guest....
CE_2LT_Taner says:
::stops
at the WS:: WS: So it seems. Well, gives us more knowledge that they are
intelligent.
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
::looks
at the cloth::
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
::
studies the scrap carefully ::
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
CE:
And we're on the right track.
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
CE:
So we are dealing with an intelligent
friend.
CE_2LT_Taner says:
::feels
an uneasiness and scans the area slowly, trying to look at any and all
kinds of
cover to see if anything is there::
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
All:
Ok it's obvious we are heading into a initial contact
situation.
WS_2Lt_Michaels says:
CO:
I suggest we keep our eyes peeled for any sign of our
"friend". He or she may have left other clues
that we
might miss.
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
All:
Let's stay frosty but let's try not to shoot
anything.
CE_2LT_Taner says:
::says
softly towards the CO::
CO: Sir, I have a suspicion that we are
being
watched but I can't seem to find it::
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
CO:
I had pretty much already concluded that whatever knocked down the
gate
building was intelligent. The fact that the ground was dug away shows
a capacity
for planning.
SCI_2Lt_MacIntyre says:
CO:
Nothing remarkable about the fabric, other than that it's obviously
made from
native plant material. So they didn't steal it from
us.
Host CO_1LT_Pierce says:
CE:
And I thought it was only me.
