Walter checks his camera again, looking around and checking on Gus and Yui.

Walter checks his camera again, looking around and checking on Gus and Yui.

You see the heat signatures of the 5 tank crewmembers converging on the clearing the helicopter went to land in, dangerously close to your downed allies.

Yui waits for the crews, and for Gus to make a move.

The Hip's back ramp falls open and six Aesthian soldiers start running to your location, two of them carrying a stretcher. Ten meters before they reach your location, the shooting starts.

A hail of bullets comes from the other side of the wall Yui and Gus are in cover behind, directed at the rescue team. One of them stumbles and falls to the ground along the way, feeling at his helmet briefly before gathering his senses and firing back from a prone position. The two carrying the stretcher duck their heads and leg it the rest of the way to the same ruined piece of wall you and Yui are hiding behind, and the riflemen hit the dirt near whatever is convenient.

"loving forget!"
Yui hands Gus his pistol back and draws her own, hoping the shooting dies down sooner rather than later. When Gus doesn't respond to the gesture, she decides to keep it for now. Maybe she'll run akimbo, like in those movies.

[CypherX]

Gus speaks loudly over the drone of bullets and the helicopter blades as he readies the AKR.

"Good to see you, Specialist! Get Hawkeye onto the chopper, I'll cover you."

He shuffles down the wall as far as the brick wall can give solid waist high cover to get out of the immediate firing line. Counting the intervals between bursts, Gus pops up above the wall and fires off a burst of his own at the gunner.

[Badger]

"CSAR do you have smoke?

Walter turns around to position a run with a bit of extra time

The driver's arm gets grazed, and the loader drops his gun and falls to the ground, screaming. The commander ceases fire and runs over to assist his fallen crewmate. Between the gunner being suppressed by Gus, one of the loaders going down, and the commander assisting him; only the driver and other loader are still ready to fire.

"loving forget!"
Yui hands Gus his pistol back and draws her own, hoping the shooting dies down sooner rather than later. When Gus doesn't respond to the gesture, she decides to keep it for now. Maybe she'll run akimbo, like in those movies.

Yui is placed on the stretcher by the two medics and strapped down.
: We're ready to go!

"CSAR do you have smoke?
Walter turns around to position a run with a bit of extra time

: Smoke grenades? You bet!

[Badger]

"Put them up to cover yourself and move, chuck one at the Imps too to mix them up. I'll clean up anyone who tries to follow you through the smoke."

[Gojira]

stuff, there goes the akimbo plan
Yui is glad to be loving out of there, and waits for the gunfire to die down, and for the medics to get her to the helicopter.

[CypherX]

Gus fires off a burst of suppressive fire at the gunner as well as a burst at the commander.

[Qwepir]

"Put them up to cover yourself and move, chuck one at the Imps too to mix them up. I'll clean up anyone who tries to follow you through the smoke."

Gus fires off a burst of suppressive fire at the gunner as well as a burst at the commander.

You stand up and hold the trigger down, spraying bullets downrange at the Imperials. The only person not to be intimidated is the gunner, who leans around his cover and returns fire.

Three bullets hit the cover near gus or go whizzing past, but before he can get another shot off two of the riflemen launch smoke grenades from their underbarrel launchers, creating a screen between the fighting parties.
: Smoke's up! Go, go, go!

Yui's stretcher is lifted up and the medics begin running her back to the Hip. Another rifleman stands up and fires his own suppressive barrage into the smoke.

The Gunner remains unimpressed, not that anyone can see his reaction through the smokescreen.

The chopper is 20 meters away. Running will get you 18 meters.

[CypherX]

Gus sprints eighteen meters across open ground towards the chopper, stopping and turning to wait for the stretcher as he nears the ramp, beckoning the medics to move faster.

Though the gunner doesn't stop shooting, he fails to hit you. Or anyone else for that matter.

With that, everyone is able to make it to safety aboard the Hip, and it takes off under fire from the SMGs. Sure enough, the bullets don't do anything but plink against the hull, and as Mjolnir and company already wrested control of the skies, the chopper is able to return to friendly lines without incident.

[Gojira]

Yui almost starts laughing in relief.
"Gus, I owe you a lot more than a drink."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"They have him, let's head home," Jaakko says.
