#Grizzly – April 21, 2016
Uvena puts on her helmet and seals it. She draws her Locust and walks over to the exit hatch. "Are you sure your suit's ready?" she asks, looking at Nathan. (Ilyna_T`Rea)
Nathan he nods, thankful that she can't see the skeptical look on his face as his HUD flickers for a brief moment. He slaps a hand against the side of his helmet. "Yeah, it's all good. Try not to worry about me," he says with a look to her. "Right now, our main focus is to rescue the others."
Uvena nods. "I'm ready," she replies over comms, raising her Locust halfway up at the door to be ready in case there's something waiting outside.
Jasper nods to himself and taps at the interface. A moment later, the back hatch slowly lurches downward. "Keep in contact! I'll keep this ol' girl runnin'."
The hatch opens to the roaring storm, snow flowing into the vehicle's passenger compartment and all heat venting out into the cold. The hatch lands and sinks into the snow with an inaudible thud, completely unable to overpower the noise of the wind. Visibility is limited with white and gray all around them.
Nathan moves out sweeping his rifle around. He swears inaudibly, slapping the side of his helmet as he tries to get the thermal imaging to work. It flickers in and out, before settling on not working. He shouts over comms to be heard. "Let's check what we hit!" He motions for them to walk around the front of the Grizzly.
Uvena nods and walks to the left, going around the vehicle on that side. She keeps her weapon raised.
As they reach the front of the vehicle they would find that they have driven into what appears to be a metal wall, just barely visible through the piled up snow. The Grizzly's nose has made a big dent in the structure where it rammed in.
Nathan lowers his rifle, shouting over comms. "Jasper, you hit a damn wall! But maybe this is where the group is?!" He looks upwards, trying to gauge at how exactly big this wall reaces.
Jasper frowns. "A wall!? Hey, don't blame me! All I saw was white! White every-dang-where! Get on in there an' check it out!"
The wall does not seem to go much higher, but it's hard to tell since there is a great deal of snow and ice above the wall, and all the flakes flying through the air limit visibility.
Nathan grunts and heads in the opposite direction to Uvena, running a hand along the wall for a door. "Might have to blow a hole through!"
Nathan continues to advance a little ways, still searching for a door. He stops before he heads too far away from the Grizzly, though.
Nathan turns back around and nods to himself. "Alright! Either we wander around looking for a door that is more than likely buried under a fucktonne of snow," he begins, eventually reaching the Grizzly again. "Or we shoot a big fucking hole in the wall with the cannon. Votes?"
Jasper remains quiet for a few moments before finally saying, "What if they're on the other side a' that there wall...?"
Uvena remains where she is. "Then they would have moved away from it by now," she responds over comms.
Uvena chuckles. "You just crashed into it," she says. "I know I would have moved far away from that wall were I inside."
Jasper shakes his head a bit. "We don't know anything 'bout the layout in there, though. I'm up fer blowin' stuff up jus' as much as the next guy, but fer all we know, we put a hole in that wall and damage somethin' important. Maybe take out the floor. What if they're below it? Or, hell, what if they ain't all got their helmets on?"
Nathan nods slowly. "Fair point, Jasper." As he hears the comms, he taps the side of his helmet. "Copy that, boss, we'll keep an ear out."
Uvena nods. "Point taken," she replies. "I retract my vote," She remains where she is, in case the turian emerges closer to her position.
A loud growl overpowers the sound of the wind for a split-second before Uvena is jumped from behind by a vorcha, hitting her in the back. A spear emerges suddenly from the snow, flying at Nathan.
Nathan catches the spear from the corner of his eye and leans back, watching it scrape across the chestplate of his armour. "Woah! Contact!" He yells into comms, twisting towards the direction of the spear and firing into the maelstrom of snow and wind.
Uvena is brought to the ground, and she loses her weapon. She tries turning around get a look at the attacker, and she builds up energy for a biotic attack. The asari does not say anything over comms.
Jasper sits forward in his seat, trying to get a view of what's around them. "Contact!? Whaddya mean 'contact'!? Talk to me, Ten, whaddya see!?"
The vorcha that jumped Uvena prevents her from turning around, pushing her back down into the snow and stabs its bone claws into the back of her armor, striking near the shield generator. Nathan's shots fly out into the snow, with their effect unknown, but another spear comes his way from out there. Artullin's shots are not heard.
Nathan ducks to the side, the spear clattering against the Grizzly. "I don't know! Spear chucking locals?!" He cries back, firing into the snow again. "Uvena?! Are you alright? Talk to me!"
Uvena enables her comms. "He...help," she says. "Can't... move." The claw hits the shield generator, but they don't manage to do more than scratch the plating. She continues to struggle.
Nathan immediately starts moving as he hears Uvena, not responding to Jason. "I'm coming, Uvena! Jasper, stay in cover!" He starts trudging towards Uvena's position.
Jasper grumbles to himself as he continues to search for the hostiles. "I got a rollin' war machine here, Ten. And yer askin' me ta' stay outta a fight!?"
I'm not fond of the idea of you firing blindly with that thing! What happens if you hit the team as they approach, huh?!
Nathan finds himself suddenly face-to-face with a massive vorcha as he goes to round the back of the tank. The unusually huge specimen is clad in a necklace of bones and has bone claws strapped to both hands. It immediately grabs the human by the helmet and slams him into the snow with a loud growl. Uvena, meanwhile, is still being attacked by the vorcha on top of her. It tries to pry at her armor plating, to get a bone claw in
underneath. Jasper would hear clanks as several spears strike the Grizzly, to no effect. The vehicle's sensors show little else, the weather interfering a great deal.
Jasper slaps a hand against his thigh in frustration. "Fine, fine. I'll sit tight. You jus' take care out there!"
Nathan halts in his tracks, looking up. "Big bugger ain't y-" he is lifted by his head and slams into the ground, the snow lessening the impact. "Fuck!" He twists the rifle towards the vorcha and starts pulling the trigger as fast as he can.
