"Private Stover to Howlrunner Actual, Striker 1 is down, requesting immediate evac at my position, over."

"...*static*..."

"Private Stover to any IAF asset on this station, can anyone read me?"

"...."

'Damn, comms are fucked again. Looks like I've got a long wait ahead of me. Wonder what the hell that flash of light was just before the crash...' Shifting his grip on his E98 repeater, Isaac finished walking up the hill he was on and came upon some the remains of a compound of some form. 'Huh, looks like a military compound almost, should be a good place to hole up to wait for evac.'

Starting to move again, he moved further into the ruins, looking for an accessible building to enter.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

It was that time of the year again. The time for her to visit the place she knew her old master cherished so much from what she knew of him. He talked about the place from time to time as it was a touchy subject, but it's to be expected considering it's what remains as a graveyard from those he held so close for so long.

She walked amongst the rubble at least every few months so as to look for possible clues of where Wyatt could've gone, or if possibly he was visiting the place from time to time, the chance that with each dau being different than the last, her mental state constantly shifting and changing, she might find something she may've missed during another trek, but this was interrupted by a someone she'd not recognized walking up the hill in front of her. Diving behind cover as quietly as she could, she held her position with her rifle at the low port ready, using her thermal sensors to keep a form of sight on them.

'Who the hell would come here? And why? Something's up, especially with what I can distinguish of that armor..'

 

[Chask274]

Walking along, he came to one of the largest buildings, a good portion of which was still intact. Approaching the door, he tried to kick it in, his boot connecting with it with a loud clang. Trying again to no avail, Isaac slung his repeater over one shoulder, then pulled his roll of thermal detonator tape out of it's belt pouch. Tearing off two long strips, he placed them in an X shape on the door, then stowed the roll. Stepping back, he pressed a switch on his gauntlet, igniting the tape and atomizing the door. Stepping through the smoldering doorframe, he looked around for a place to hole up for the night.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

'WHAT. THE. FEKK!?' Scarlet watched as the man, now more visibly wearing imperial armor of some form blew the door, with tape.

'He used.. TAPE. To blow a door.' she got a much better read on the man's armor. The readouts was rather scary. The armor was VERY thick to put it simply, but not so thick that She was helpless.

'I have my rifle, I should be fine. As long as I can land some hits on him. I'd better catch him by surprise before he catches me instead. I'll ask him some questions..' priming, her MZ-99 "Smack Down" Grenade and 1 of her Caltrop Grenades, she cooked them off just enough so that when they made contact with the ground, they would detonate. She threw them at the same time, each landing aligned with one of each of his feet, and detonating. As soon as they detonated, she sprang up from behind her cover, and fired 4 rounds center mass.

 

[Chask274]

The all too familiar clatter of grenades landing on duracrete filled the air, and before he could really react, Isaac found his feet were being violently blown out from under him. Thankfully, since the caltrops deployed near the epicenter of the MZ-99's shockwaves, the spike bits of metal were sent fly out and away from the Stormtrooper.

Slamming into the ground with a wheeze, he quickly looked up to see a Mandalorian woman spring up from cover with a nasty looking rifle in her hands. Cursing loudly, he rolled sideways, putting the wall the door was set into between himself and the woman, getting into cover just as the bolts she fired streaked through the doorway. Scrambling to his feet, Isaac drew his sidearm and pointed it at the door, sidestepping so that his right shoulder was pressed against the wall. From this angle, even if the woman was pressed against the outside of the wall on the opposite side of the door, she wouldn't be able to see him, and he'd have the advantage if she tried to breach the room.

"Leave it to a filthy fekking Mando to try and shoot me in the back like a dammed coward! I thought your people were supposed to be about honor and bravery in combat?!"

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

Scarlet smirked as she had ducked back behind cover, minding the mans reflexes to her surprise. She'd need to really get after him, and think ahead of time if she wanted to land some hits, and solid ones at that if she wanted to do some real damage.

"Well. I hear the term all to often. Just because I'm smart enough to catch my opponent by surprise, I'm a coward with no honor? And this filthy fekking Mando is about to tear you a new asshole prick!" popping up from cover, she swiftly fired one of her wrist mounted rockets at the wall her opponent was taking cover in, this time, staying up so as to lay down cover fire for herself, firing 3 shots as said cover fire, and continuing to laydown more, ready to react to any move he made at a moments notice.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET YOU IMPERIAL SCUM!"

 

[Chask274]

Having been tense and ready for any move on the woman's part, Isaac turned and leapt directly away from the wall as soon as he heard the hiss of the rocket firing, the blast sending him sprawling and collapsing that side of the wall almost completely, filling the air with a dense cloud of smoke and dust. Between the dust cloud and the fact her shots were more intended to keep his head down, Isaac was safe from the Mandalorian's fire as he blinked the stars out of his vision, holstered his sidearm, and crawled to the rubble pile the wall collapse had created. Pulling his Ripperjack from where it was slung over his shoulder, Isaac deployed it's bipod and braced it against the top of the pile, positioning himself in such a way that his weapon and the top half of his helmet would be the only things visible. With the dust cloud still obscuring everything, Scarlet would find it practically impossible to see where Isaac was or what he was doing.

However, Isaac's own observational abilities weren't so impeded. With a thought, his view of the area became greyscale as his helmet's IR vision mode was activated, clearly showing Scarlet's heat signature standing up from cover and firing in his general direction. Setting his weapon to burst mode, he settled the sights on her center of mass and squeezed the trigger twice in quick succession. The first burst of three bolts, if they hit, would tear through her abdominal armor. The second burst, it's point of aim having been knocked higher by the recoil of the first, would connect with her chest plates if unobstructed. Given his concealed position and the probable surprise of his attack, it was unlikely Scarlet would be able avoid every round heading her direction.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

A round cracked across her abdomen, thankfully her armor helped absorb the hit as it scathed her side, though immediately diving after feeling the next 2 shots, and taking cover once more, her rib in slight pain among her ripped flight suit shoulders tender graze. A thought occurred to her however. One that put a smile across her face. Pulling her remaining Smack down grenade, she set it to "Impact Detonation", chucking it to the center of where all the smoke originated from her last shot, then snapped her other wrist rocket off not more than 1.5 seconds after, then ran to closer cover behind the remaining walls of the building to get better range for is her target was unscathed, her attacks obnoxiously loud noise used to conceal her movements.

 

[Chask274]

Isaac saw as two of his first burst's bolts grazed her, with the remainder missing as she ducked into cover. Switching to semi-auto firing mode, Isaac pulled the repeater more snugly into his shoulder and leaned a small amount of his weight forward against the bipod, further reducing the amount of recoil and muzzle jump the weapon would produce. Keeping his sights trained on the cover the Mandalorian had ducked behind, Isaac was ready when she popped back up. As she broke cover and hauled back to lob the grenade, Isaac lined his sights up with her upper chest/collar bone area, and squeezed the trigger twice in quick succession. The grip adjustments he'd made meant that most of the recoil would go straight back into his shoulder, with the little vertical movement remaining putting the second bolt on course to strike her just under the rim of her helmet.

Between the fact that she was stationary while attempting the throw, was out of cover, and how Isaac had prepared and was still obscured by smoke, it would be very difficult for her to avoid being hit. Even if she did avoid the shot, her grenade throw would be horribly off, and she wouldn't even have a chance to launch the second rocket. Assuming she was either hit or driven back into cover, Isaac would switch back to burst mode and fire, aiming to just skim over the top of her cover. He would continue to fire a burst every second or so as he stood and began advancing, intending to end this fight before it became too drawn out.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

When she heard the gunfire in the process of throwing her grenade, she flinched in reaction to the sound, beginning to dip the top of her head forward, the first round of two grazing dangerously close to where her neck met her shoulder, a painful gash being left behind with the second round smashing into the brow of her helm where her eyebrows would meet the bridge of her nose, and knocking her backwards on her ass.

Scrambling as fast as possible to her cover once more, burst cover fire was laid down, and her head was spinning as she focused on regaining herself.

'Cmon dammit!' she was gripping her head. She knew these were precious moments for combat, but she had to get her head right again if she wanted to be in the fight, she had to focus herself first. Only but 10 seconds past from scrambling to cover before she could see straight again.

'Alright. Now thi-' and she had a spark of brilliance. turning on her helmets thermal vision, she looked through her cover as it were, and smirked. Grabbing the remaining smackdown grenade from her pouch, she primed it, keeping it on "Impact Detonation", and chucked it from behind cover at her assailant, standing up behind a pillar, and peeking around it to lay down cover fire with her rifle in one hand, all the while pulling her grapple gun with the other.

When the grenade detonated she'd shot her grapple to a tower next to the man's cover, as she would have the perfect overwatch position due to the caved in roof of her targets cover.
