Jayne salutes the General before speaking up. She's slightly nervous, having not been in the same room as this many senior officers prior to a drop, but will throw herself on the social grenade of stupid questions for her team anyway

"Lord General, Sir! With permission, what is the timetable for the general attack? If our planned extraction is compromised we may need to rendezvous with Imperial forces on the ground. Additionally, sir, why was this network station chosen as the target? Sir."

She salutes again and glances at the rest of the team to see if she played that right.

leaving logistics roll to the sergeant, but I recommend we look at acquiring some survival suits

The mention of three armed mutants has Jayne on edge, but surely this warfront has been going on long enough that any xenos influence would have been revealed. The decision of the Munitorium to not provide half their mission specific gear is baffling, but sadly not unusual.

"Hmm. No charges. I guess I have some krak bombs, if we don't need to use those on the way in. Second the clearing, I like that cover for the approach."

Yorke triple checks Jayne's gear, fussing and patting and just occasionally looking proud at something properly squared away. Before the light goes green Jayne smiles inside her mask - the combat drop isn't old hat for her, and the rising adrenaline makes the rush of freezing air even more crisp and thrilling. As the mountains rise up below her she imagines herself an avenging angel of the Emperor, falling upon His foes. Then the ground rushes up and all foolish thoughts are swept away by the jolt of the grav-chute and a textbook landing in the clearing. She's on her feet and scanning her sector before she realizes it.

Jayne whispers a prayer as she watches that ugly fall.

"Oh Emperor, protect those your servants in their hour of need..."

And then moves out.

Assuming no other directive, moving to the cliff and readying the grapnel.

The faint whine of the electric motor in the grappling hook sounds like a jet engine to Jayne as it pulls her up the cliff to the next checkpoint. She gets to the top, finds cover and starts to look for sentries.

Sighting down the barrel of her hellgun at the man in carapace armor, Jayne recites some lines from the Litany of Ambuscade under her breath:

"Strike ye first the officer, the sergeant, the corporal. Without these the heretic will be directionless and timid"

The sudden and unexpected blast from Abe's grenade makes her flinch throwing off her carefully planned volley and she grimaces at the waste of las ammo..

Semi-Auto Attack, Half Action Aim TN 72: 1d100 88

Yorke gives Jayne some quiet advice as they slip their preysense goggles on and pour fire into the enemy formation.

"Breathe. Adjust aim. Focus on the thermal silhouettes. And let the Emperor's wrath flow from the barrel of your gun."

The field of silhouettes having thinned out considerably allows Jayne and Roland to concentrate their fire on the enemy leader, sending a scorching hail of high intensity las fire down range at the center of mass.

Jayne looks skeptically at the ammunition counter on her hellgun, certain that she pulled the trigger more than her current ammo count suggests.

"The cooldown on this thing is going to get me killed one of these days. C'mon Yorke, help me check these bodies for souvenirs."

"What the feth..."

Jayne stares in horror at the display in front of her, walks up to the closest one and prods it lightly with the still warm barrel of her hellgun.

"Emperor Above, are they still alive? What for?"

Jayne eyes the ground they need to cover and does some quick mental calculations.

"Sarge, I reckon can make 2 rows of teeth if I sprint. If I get close to a pillbox I can put smoke on it directly and cut a bunch of time of that advance. I'd be out on my own, but I'll risk it."

Not for the first time Jayne laments the long cooldown on her hellgun. Sticking her head out into the bullet-dense air for a second she judges the distance to the walls and carefully considers the way the pillboxes arc of fire is restricted, formulating a brave (bad) idea.

"Yorke, we need to get closer! Wait for that fire to shift away from us and...GO!

A mad scramble through smoke and whistling near misses brings Jayne and Yorke to the wall by the cliff, close enough to spit into the bunker but (hopefully) out of the line of sight and fire of the big guns.

tactical advance to the wall above the Pillbox. hopefully anyone throwing grenades is throwing them at the other one? or I can delay my turn until after the grenades go off.

Jayne manages to avoid crying during the medal ceremony, but can be seen for days afterwards polishing the little scrap of tin and strutting around like a rooster with delusions of grandeur.

It takes a decent chunk of brutal room clearing and reaction time training (and a healthy dose of scorn from Yorke) to knock some of the fool out of her. She does come away with a better grasp of how to spring nasty surprises, and how to act when a nasty surprise is sprung on you. The bump on her head from the 'accident' where a section of a walkway collapsed under her goes down soon enough.

"Direct drop onto the hotel works for me. Infiltrating on foot gives too many chances for a cogboy to spot us and whip up some trouble. I don't wanna find out what tech-heresy looks like when it sees you coming."

Jayne will keep a lasgun - the extra range over the carbine is significant.

Looking over the map Jayne shrugs.

"Walking it is, then. Good thing we picked up these long rifles, given the amount of open ground in that photo."

Jayne goes hunting for a little something to give her throwing arm a hand covering those distances, should they need to use grenades.

no joy unless i can retroactively add one of the trade items


And for something to give her hellgun even more punch, given that cogboys tend to be a tougher than the average.

Logistics (overcharge pack) TN 35: 1d100 13

Sure, the overcharge pack will burn through the Hellgun's limited ammo even faster. But Jayne figures you have to be alive to worry about reloading.

Jayne suppresses a shudder as the multi armed mutants pass. They're more talkative than the hybrid Genestealers that hunted her before, but what they have to say isn't exactly comforting. The presence of enemy mechanized units is also unpleasant, but a machine is just a machine. It can't stick a thing in your chest to make you...one of them, essentially. It just kills you, clean and easy.

"If they know we're here then rushing will get us into a trap faster. Let's keep a low profile until we take out those guns."

Jayne joins the pondering circle.

"Can we circle around and come at the resort from the lakeside? Or even from the lake? It'll be chilly but we've got synskin on, that's gotta be as good as a wetsuit, right? When we were looking at the building plans did anyone see how the resort draws water from the lake? Might be a way in underwater."

Hell yeah, if there's a way in underwater Jayne remembers it
