rest in peace McGraw, Norwood, Parker, Madison, and everyone else. we did good, boys.An occurrence provokes the fourth squad plot..[EVENT] ** The distant sound of rotors cuts through the soupy humidity. An aircraft homing in on your location. The speakers crackle again, somebody important on board it seems. They won't be long. **
Nearby, members of the fourth squad stands by. The majority of them still remain surprisingly enough but presently Stark, Conners, and King mill about.
PVT. S. King: S' that a chopper?
SGT. M. Stark: Yeah. Think so.
PVT. S. King: Cool shit.
PFC. Frank Person: There it is.
PFC. Frank Person: Wonder who's on board.
SGT. M. Stark: Think it's the president?
PVT. S. King: The president?
PFC. Frank Person: Coming to this shit hole?
(PFC. Parker) ** Parker is running, camera in hand. **
PVT. S. King: Hell, I hope so.
SGT. M. Stark: Better go check it out.
PVT. S. King: Yep.
PVT. S. King: Les' go K.
PVT. S. King: Who's that..?
The trio approaches the helipads, staring onto a gathering and officers huddled by the newly landed chopper. There's chatter and an underhanded conversation among it all.
SGT. M. Stark: How far do you think those things can go?
SGT. M. Stark: The choppers, I mean.
PVT. S. King: I hope she's come, n' uhh..
PVT. S. King: I'd say they could fly across this whole country.
The helicopter takes off just as fast as it arrived.
PFC. Frank Person: Motherfucker's leaving us all here to die.
SGT. Thomas Healy: What was this all about, exactly?
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: I have no idea.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] Farker.
PFC. Parker: [YELL] Sir?
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] I said Farker, not Parker.
PFC. Parker: [YELL] Oh, nevermind!
PFC. Parker: Helicopter is loud.
PVT. S. King: Good ol' Parker.
2nd Lt. M. Smith: [YELL] Scatter. Do your damn jobs!
** 1stLT Dominick Dowell opens the dossier, again. He slides a paper out, reading it.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: Wait, Smith.
** 2nd Lt. M. Smith shoos the men.**
** 2nd Lt. M. Smith looks over.**
SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] Hey! You heard the damn Officer.
SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] Get a move on!
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] No.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] Stay.
PVT. S. King: [WHISPER] Think it's our paychecks?
SGT. M. Stark: [WHISPER] Dunno.
SFC. Joque Kurtz: Pff.
[L] ** 2nd Lt. M. Smith motions Kurtz back.**
PFC. Parker: Is that the letter from the pope? We all goin' home?
** 2nd Lt. M. Smith laughs.**
PVT. S. King: The Pope ended the war?
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] It is the letter from God himself. We're headin' home, men.
PFC. K. Conners: Ah' shi'!
SGT. M. Stark: [WHISPER] What the fuck.
PVT. S. King: Heeey..
** Applause, everywhere! **
PVT. S. King: [WHISPER] What's the catch, y' know?
PVT. Steve Young: [WHISPER] Wait for the catch...
PVT. S. King: [WHISPER] I'm waitin'..
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] I have never seen such a group of fine men like yous. Sticking together - even after countless deaths of our own.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] There ain't a catch.
** SGT. M. Stark leans on the sandbags while he listens to Dowell's speech. He doesn't seem convinced.
[EVENT] ** As the helicopter leaves the base to fade into the horizon exactly the last thing you wanted to witness happens. From the treeline a single missile screams into the air. The flash of light and distant pop some seconds later confirms it. Chopper hit. Chopper down. The crunch of metal reaching you like a faded echo. **
PVT. S. King: Shit, man..
PVT. Steve Young: [WHISPER] And there is the fucking catch.
PVT. S. King: [WHISPER] Motherfucker, man. We lost our pilot on the day we got orders to go home.
SGT. M. Stark: [WHISPER] There's only one other fucking chopper out of this place.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] ... shit. Gear up, men.
SGT. M. Stark: [WHISPER] King?
PVT. S. King: [WHISPER] Yeah?
SGT. M. Stark: [WHISPER] You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
PVT. S. King: [WHISPER] I ehh..
** PVT. S. King swallows, hard. He rubs at the back of his head from beneath his helmet.
PVT. S. King: [WHISPER] I 'unno..
** SGT. M. Stark nods to King, "Maybe I'm going crazy."
SGT. M. Stark: Let's gear up.
PVT. S. King: Yeah..
PVT. S. King: Let's do that.
Later on in the day, 4th squad lays in wait by a nearby compound. Orders are to cover those moving in while support is called in. (basically unedited, just the raw cut of the ending)
[EVENT] ** Distant pops and cracks fill the horizon, and over even them the rising throb of a helicopter on approach. They must be near, must be firing at it, but it holds steady. Evac is on the way. **
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: Man fuck this war, fuck these fuckers..
PVT. S. King: H-Hey..
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: Just sit tight.
PVT. S. King: Y' hear that..?

SGT. M. Stark: [YELL] Wooo-ee!
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: God fuckiun damn! I hope that's for ys!
SGT. M. Stark: Let's wait to see if it doesn't get shot down.
SGT. M. Stark: We might uh...have to silence the LT and them.
PVT. S. King: I dunno, Sarge.. I dunno..
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: ...-Healy.
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: Fuck those LT's man they'll court us!
PVT. S. King: I ain't wantin' to kill nobody..

PFC. Aaron Whitefield: You've killed gooks they ain't no diffrent.
PVT. S. King: Healy? I ain't seen him, 'Cruz..
SGT. M. Stark: If we get back home we're probably gonna get put down.
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: ...-fuck.
PVT. S. King: We'll see, man.. We'll see..
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: I ain't goin to jail either.
PVT. Steve Young: Fuck the LTs man.

PFC. K. Conners: Not any of ours.
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: He ain't ours man!

PVT. Steve Young: Yeah!
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: He killed McCraw!
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: He killed all of them man
** SGT. Alejandro Delacruz remains silent.
PVT. S. King: We don't /know/ that!
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: He killed them! He sent us here!
PVT. S. King: Command sent us here!
SGT. M. Stark: I can understand if you don't want to ice him.
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: He is command!
SGT. M. Stark: We need to do this or we're all toast.
PVT. Steve Young: Fuck Command!
PVT. S. King: I don't fuckin' know Sarge.. We'll see.
** SGT. M. Stark pushes up to his feet.
PVT. S. King: Just don't make it your primary mission 'ere..
SGT. M. Stark: Let's do this.
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: I'm not goin to jail or bein discharge man.
PVT. S. King: Our goal's t' leave and get everyoneo ut alive.
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: There's our way home.

1st Lt. Samuel Farker: [YELL] Stay where you are!

1st Lt. Samuel Farker: [YELL] If you move, I will shoot you dead. Every. Single. One of you.

SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] What the fuck is going on?
WO Ashley Vickers: [YELL] SO DID WE
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] You're all fucking retarted! We just spent god knows how long shooting gooks, and now you're all ready to shoot each other!
PVT. S. King: [YELL] There's room enough for all of us.. R-Right? So, c'mon!
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] Guys, c'mon!

SGT. M. Stark: [YELL] If there's a chopper, we're getting on it! End of story!
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: [YELL] Gooks fucked up in not killing you.
PVT. S. King: Let's get inside.. We can't stand in the open, y' know?

SGT. M. Stark: [YELL] Rush it! Do or die!"
PVT. S. King: Th-
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] So, about that.
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] Farker's an asshole.
PVT. S. King: Now we don't have a reason to shoot each other..
SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] The fuck was that?
** PVT. S. King steps up to Stark, raising a hand to the barrel of his AK. He attempts to lower it.
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] He planned on fucking leaving you.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] Men. Lower your weapons.
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] Well, there you go.
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] And uh. He left us too.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] It's - it's fuckin-...
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] There's the greed of fuckin' America at it's finest.
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: [YELL] FUCKING HELL!
PVT. S. King: [YELL] You see our fuckin' point now assholes?!
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: [YELL] We shoulda done it!
PVT. S. King: [YELL] He left /all/ of us back while you were bein' greedy fucks!
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: [YELL] WE SHOULDA DONE IT!
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] The fuckin' money men of wall street, and the war mongers down at Capital Hill, they fuckin' doomed us.
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] All I fucking said was that you're all idiots for wanting to shoot each other, Farker included.
** SGT. M. Stark sends a shoulder into King, "I'm doing this!"
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] Fuckin' get inside.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] You should've came with us.
** PVT. S. King backs off of the Sergeant, insisting, "C'mon man- we need them!"
[EVENT] ** The evac chopper loads up, well over its passenger limit, limping off from the base. Another comes behind, quickly in tow, peppered on its underbelly, the shots visibly pinging off the metal, coming down at the last possible moment. **
PVT. S. King: We're in this together now, whether we like it or not!
SGT. M. Stark: We'll see about that!
SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] Get up here!
PVT. S. King: [YELL] We're comin' in!
SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] There's more!
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] Get your asses up here.
PVT. S. King: Wrong way.
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] I swear to god if Farker didn't call enough choppers for all of us.
SGT. M. Stark: [YELL] Next one isn't leaving without us!
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: Oh my god.
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: I could fucking kiss you.
SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] Get in! Get in!
** PVT. L. Shaw looks shellshocked and fucked up.
SPC. Martin Lindon: [YELL] Get in!
SGT. Thomas Healy: Let's fucking go.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] In. In.
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: [YELL] EVERYONE IN!
PVT. S. King: Get in guys..
PVT. S. King: Same side..
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] King, get on in!
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] Quick!
SFC. Joque Kurtz: Might need a third, Ell Tee.
PVT. S. King: [YELL] Where?!
[L] ** 1stLT Dominick Dowell gets in.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: Farker called it in..
[EVENT] ** As the last of the soliders fits into the seemingly impossibly cramped space the final chopper takes into the air. **
I think that 4th Squad had an amazing story arc in all, which is sadly too taxing to condense and fit into here. The members who survived the first day of the event developed a fierce sense of loyalty to one another after surviving through so much and eventually plotted to desert/overthrow the leadership to get out of the twisted hell that they'd been placed in. It got especially tense in the end, with all the guns and arguments being raised, and so it wrapped up in a way that I found fitting. Major props to all those involved, shout-out to the active 4th squad guys for the experience:
@Rionas - SGT M. Stark
wester - PFC. K. Conners
Bumble - PVT. H. 'Able' McGraw
@zap430 - PFC. J. Smith
and whoever happened to play PFC. A. Whitefield
Hope the next RR can be just as compelling!

SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] He planned on fucking leaving you.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] Men. Lower your weapons.
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] Well, there you go.
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] And uh. He left us too.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] It's - it's fuckin-...
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] There's the greed of fuckin' America at it's finest.
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: [YELL] FUCKING HELL!
PVT. S. King: [YELL] You see our fuckin' point now assholes?!
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: [YELL] We shoulda done it!
PVT. S. King: [YELL] He left /all/ of us back while you were bein' greedy fucks!
PFC. Aaron Whitefield: [YELL] WE SHOULDA DONE IT!
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] The fuckin' money men of wall street, and the war mongers down at Capital Hill, they fuckin' doomed us.
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] All I fucking said was that you're all idiots for wanting to shoot each other, Farker included.
** SGT. M. Stark sends a shoulder into King, "I'm doing this!"
PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] Fuckin' get inside.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: [YELL] You should've came with us.
** PVT. S. King backs off of the Sergeant, insisting, "C'mon man- we need them!"
[EVENT] ** The evac chopper loads up, well over its passenger limit, limping off from the base. Another comes behind, quickly in tow, peppered on its underbelly, the shots visibly pinging off the metal, coming down at the last possible moment. **
PVT. S. King: We're in this together now, whether we like it or not!
SGT. M. Stark: We'll see about that!
SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] Get up here!
PVT. S. King: [YELL] We're comin' in!
SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] There's more!
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] Get your asses up here.
PVT. S. King: Wrong way.
SGT. Thomas Healy: [YELL] I swear to god if Farker didn't call enough choppers for all of us.
SGT. M. Stark: [YELL] Next one isn't leaving without us!
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: Oh my god.
SGT. Alejandro Delacruz: I could fucking kiss you.
SFC. Joque Kurtz: [YELL] Get in! Get in!
** PVT. L. Shaw looks shellshocked and fucked up.
SPC. Martin Lindon: [YELL] Get in!
SGT. Thomas Healy: Let's fucking go.

PFC. K. Conners: [YELL] Quick!
SFC. Joque Kurtz: Might need a third, Ell Tee.
PVT. S. King: [YELL] Where?!
[L] ** 1stLT Dominick Dowell gets in.
1stLT Dominick Dowell: Farker called it in..
[EVENT] ** As the last of the soliders fits into the seemingly impossibly cramped space the final chopper takes into the air. **
I think that 4th Squad had an amazing story arc in all, which is sadly too taxing to condense and fit into here. The members who survived the first day of the event developed a fierce sense of loyalty to one another after surviving through so much and eventually plotted to desert/overthrow the leadership to get out of the twisted hell that they'd been placed in. It got especially tense in the end, with all the guns and arguments being raised, and so it wrapped up in a way that I found fitting. Major props to all those involved, shout-out to the active 4th squad guys for the experience:
@Rionas - SGT M. Stark
wester - PFC. K. Conners
Bumble - PVT. H. 'Able' McGraw
@zap430 - PFC. J. Smith
and whoever happened to play PFC. A. Whitefield
Hope the next RR can be just as compelling!
YOU STOLE MY IDEA4th squad best squad.
ED - Oh yeah some of you guys who were in the RR should post like 'where are they now' blurbs in the RR screenshots thread with a picture of your character, just to tie the knot!
It was a shame that I didn't come on because I was holding out for some rp that never came and just gave me a massive headache.
Fuck me. At least Baker had a good run. What happened to the Mix?

Johnny Chalk: Why- We...
** Johnny Chalk leans up, grabbing Normans ankles.
Johnny Chalk: We CAN'T stay here.
Johnny Chalk: It won't WORK.
Johnny Chalk: You can see that, can't you!?
Dave Jones: [YELL] Yo! I see bodies in the woods! Get ready, the noise attracted 'em!
Norman Jones: ... I know.
** Jenny Lee quickens her breath as she hears the swarm coming.
Norman Jones: I KNOW.
Johnny Chalk: Then we need to GO.
Player Rabid left the game (Disconnect by user.)
Norman Jones: Dave, we're-- Dave.
Carter Donovan: [YELL] She's gonna' turn, man!
Norman Jones: We're going.
** Johnny Chalk reaches back for the .44, swallowing hard once more.
** Dave Jones looks between Jones and the woods. "Man-- there's a herd out there! You wanna risk this shit?!"
Norman Jones: We gotta' grab a car and go, Dave.
Norman Jones: This place is a deathtrap.
Kassandra Alexandria Tristen: [YELL] Is sh'fuckin' dead?
** Dave Jones looks around and let sout a shout. He hopes down.
Dave Jones: [YELL] Fuck!
** Johnny Chalk follows suit, panicked.
** Norman Jones follows afterwards.
Carter Donovan: [YELL] She's either dead, or really fuckin' close to dead! And they turn right afta'!
Dave Jones: [YELL] Come on, man-- leave these ones!
Jenny Lee: [YELL] Where are you going!? Guys!?
Jenny Lee: [YELL] GUYS!!?
** Jenny Lee is left bewildered she watches people literally abandon the group right as the horde was coming in. The feeling of being trapped is all too real. "No, nono."
** Jenny Lee sighs with relief as the door opens up, and she goes in like a flash.
** Carter Donovan bounds down the stairs, grunting.
Jenny Lee: Close the door, whoever ran off. They're on their own now...
Nick Ferents: Lets hope these motherfuckers got some ammo.
Jenny Lee: [WHISPER] Fucking Norman, man.
** Elaine Sirbu leans up against the wall.
Nick Ferents: Cause I be needing it for this rifle.
** Aaron Rodriguez hugs the wall, " If we get overrun out there we're stuck down here 'yo."
** Jenny Lee peeks out through the bulletproof glass and sees no one else other than dead bodies. They fought this hard to get here. Now what?
Aaron Rodriguez : We're gonna die if we don't watch our asses.
Nick Ferents: Aaron, we'll be fine if we're down here, we got guns and shit.
** Jenny Lee swirls back around, "The horde will move on eventually. Probably. I rather be stuck down here rather than be out there anymore."
Nick Ferents: We can blast our way out.
bennet has played a youtube video (e2lfkrS42eQ), you can stop this with rp_stopmusic
** Jenny Lee widens her eyes as much as they can as she turns back around again.
Nick Ferents: And yeah, exactly. They got food and shelter down here.
Nick Ferents: Once we clear shit out, it's our new home.
Saddam Hussein suicided!
** Jenny Lee stares at the corpse lingering by the door. It looks so familiar, and in her panic striken mind, she remembers just what was in front.
Nick Ferents: What, What's going-
** Aaron Rodriguez turns back to notice what was outside only barely able to see it in the dim light, " Yo! What is that thing man?"
Elaine Sirbu: What's out there, Jen?
** Nick Ferents turns around, amid the silence he was worried for a second. His presumptions were right. He gasps out of panick for a second, stumbling. "Shit, what the fuck!?
** Elaine Sirbu pushes herself off the wall as she looks to Jen.
[L] (Dead Head) ** The silhouette just stands outside the door, with it's decomposed face pressed against the security door. The thing has been stripped clean by the forces of nature. A soul cursed to wander the frozen wasteland. **
[L] (Cpl. Brady Hudson) [EVENT] ** The door remained lock but there was one fatal flaw. Brady. Upon Brady's corpse lay a blood painted name badge with smart chip. **
** Jenny Lee winces as she grows uncomfortable, like her skin was about to be crawled out of. She doesn't realize about Brady. "How can it-- it's not the same...?"
** Aaron Rodriguez steps back, clearly not interested in going after it." Yo- Yo leave the door shut- Fuck what is that thing? It's fucking staring at us man!"
Nick Ferents: Yo... That's not even a zombie anymo.
Aaron Rodriguez : Who the hell cares what it is!
Nick Ferents: Jenny, we need to get a move on.
** Jenny Lee just gawks at the figure, mesmerized. She worries more than just its look. She saw it die. She takes a step back unknowingly, her face fearful.
[L] (Dead Head) ** The frozen, torn down figure is kept at bay by the bunker door. It's only a shadow of the life it once was, an imprint of something that once thought and had aspiratons, fears. Now it wanders the wasteland, it's intact nervous system being driven by the virus rampaging throughout the rotted, picked over and frozen corpse. **
Jenny Lee: [WHISPER] No way.
Nick Ferents: Jenny-
Player a beamer boy left the game (Disconnect by user.)
** Jenny Lee jolts with a spasm as she turns around.
Jenny Lee: Ye-yeah, we gotta go. Come on-- it can't come in. It-
** Jenny Lee looks over her shoulder hesitantly before heading down the stairs.
Aaron Rodriguez : Don't open that door man.
** Jenny Lee keeps an eye on the monster. Her gaze never breaking away.
Jenny Lee: [WHISPER] Yeah... fuck that.
Nick Ferents: This is some fucked up shit.
** Elaine Sirbu picks the rifle up from the ground and backsteps.
Aaron Rodriguez : Not even fuckig human man.
** Jenny Lee shudders with breath as she makes her way down, the chill of the weather having been replaced by just fear and pure anxiety. She sees the bodies.
** Viktor Sanchez shakes his head, unable to properly conjure up anything beyond bleak sentiment.
Viktor Sanchez: Just let me stay with her.
** Vincent Palmieri leans down and snags the name badge from the dead soldier. "Come on. Everyone. I ain't sure how long we have left."
Angelina Jänicke: Go. Get the door.
Juan Marcello: We are so /close/, Vik. Don't let her die like this.
** Jenny Lee sees Viktor and a woman on the floor. His words make the obvious the obvious, and she simply walks past. The cost has been grim.
** Angelina Jänicke levels her rifle to the sliding door.
** Vincent Palmieri places the ID against the keypad. It opens, presumably.
Nick Ferents: Hey uh-... I'm sorry, Vik.
Angelina Jänicke: Oh, shit-
Kassandra Alexandria Tristen: Wha's it doin'?
** Jenny Lee suddenly breaks the tension, "We have to do this, everybody."
Jenny Lee: [YELL] Let's go!
** Carter Donovan ducks down, getting some space behind the wall. He wasn't about to end up like the other people who chose to take point in a door.
** Angelina Jänicke steps in.
** Juan Marcello looks down, and then up at the door. He snags the soldier's machine gun and prepares himself. "Not like this."
** Aaron Rodriguez slowly steps down never taking his eyes off the door above, " Yo... We need to watch ourselves."
** Nick Ferents looks down at the soldiers, everone else going throygh
Vincent Palmieri: Looks like some sorta...decontamination.
Kassandra Alexandria Tristen: I don' like this but fuck it.
Carter Donovan: -What if they hit a button and jus'- Gas us?
Vincent Palmieri: Push the button.
Jenny Lee: Then we tried.
Angelina Jänicke: It didn't gas them.
Jenny Lee: We're stuck down here, the swarm's outside.
[L] (Cpl. Brady Hudson) [EVENT] ** The door unlocks and the decontamination process is underway. Shortly after, the door opens and awaits its visitors. **
Aaron Rodriguez : What if it's another trap yo?
Angelina Jänicke: I'll let them mourn.
Jenny Lee: Then let's fucking go into it. We got nothing to lose.
** Kassandra Alexandria Tristen shrugs, "Traps are traps."
Jenny Lee: This is gonna be our home or our grave.
** Jenny Lee bursts out laughing after the man's rant, "Pfftahaaha what the fuck are we even talking about, really? Seriously, I'm just too out of it. I don't even know."
Jenny Lee: Let's go uh...
Aaron Rodriguez : Yo-
Aaron Rodriguez : Wait.
Jenny Lee: Find out what the fuck's going o- oh.
Joel Freeman: What?
Nick Ferents: There some zombies out there, Aaron?
Aaron Rodriguez : That skinless fucker is still out there.
Aaron Rodriguez : Ain't he?
Nick Ferents: Shit. You right.
Jenny Lee: Oh my god, please. Please no.
Nick Ferents: I better go out there and check.
Dillon Palmer: We just want out.
Aaron Rodriguez : We can't let that thing in yo.
Vincent Palmieri: What now?
Kassandra Alexandria Tristen: What thing?
Jenny Lee: But there's a swarm. Seriously?
Aaron Rodriguez : Skinless fucker.
Jenny Lee: You-- seriously!?
Jenny Lee: You wanna go?
Vincent Palmieri: Christ...
Dillon Palmer: [YELL] Get fucked!
Aaron Rodriguez : Shit-
Nick Ferents: What?
Jenny Lee: Oh my god, those fucking dickwads.
Nick Ferents: [YELL] Mother fucker!
(Dillon Palmer) [EVENT] ** The Humvee roars to life. The scientists disappear. **
Aaron Rodriguez : [YELL] FUCK.
Jenny Lee: ... well, we lost the ride. Like that.
** Nick Ferents jabs onto the keypad once more.
** Vincent Palmieri let's out a deep belly laugh. "I fucking KNEW it."
Jenny Lee: I guess being nice gets you nowhere.
Nick Ferents: Motherfuckers.
Nick Ferents: We're gonna get em.
Kassandra Alexandria Tristen: They said t'move North.
Angelina Jänicke: Should've shot them.
Kassandra Alexandria Tristen: So.
Jenny Lee: Wait, we ain't staying?
(Dillon Palmer) [EVENT] ** The main door is left open. The herd is here. They stream down into the bunker. **
Aaron Rodriguez : Wait we leaving yo?
Nick Ferents: Get ready.
Vincent Palmieri: I'm goin' my own way.
Vincent Palmieri: If I get outta here alive.
Jenny Lee: We kinda... just died for nothing? Wait? Aw, aaaaw. AW COME ON!
Nick Ferents: [YELL] Move out the way!
Jenny Lee: [YELL] Oh this is bullshit! Those two assholes!
Angelina Jänicke: [YELL] IF THEY CAN MAKE IT OUT, WE CAN!
Nick Ferents: [YELL] Push!|

Juan Marcello: Get the door!
Vincent Palmieri: [YELL] Get me there and I will!
Vincent Palmieri: [YELL] Push!
Jenny Lee: You got it. Fuck this place!
Tranquilo was killed by worldspawn
Angelina Jänicke: [YELL] OUT THE LEFT!
(Dillon Palmer) [EVENT] ** The herd thins momentarily. There's an opening. **
Angelina Jänicke: [OOC] Angelina is lost to the crowd of zombies, screaming as she's torn apart in the crowd, just moments before her escape.
Nick Ferents: [YELL] IN YALL!
** Aaron Rodriguez climbs into the gunners seat.
** Vincent Palmieri takes the wheel
(Dillon Palmer) [EVENT] ** The gun roars to life on it, viciously gunning down the approaching undead. **
** Nick Ferents jumps into the truck, firing at the zombies coming to the truck.
Nick Ferents: [YELL] Get that truck started VIN!
Kassandra Alexandria Tristen: [YELL] I'm outta fuckin' ammo after this!
Nick Ferents: [YELL] Where's the others!?
Nick Ferents: [YELL] Goddamn it, I got two mags left!
Kassandra Alexandria Tristen: [YELL] I think they're fuckin' dead!
Juan Marcello: [YELL] What others?! Where's Viktor?!
** Vincent Palmieri finds the ignition struggling as he turns it beofre it finally roars to life
(Dillon Palmer) [EVENT] ** The engine roars to life. It's slow picking their way to the treets, riding almost alongside the horde, but then they re on the main road and riding away, far away from the horrible mess that is New Waker. **
Vincent Palmieri: [YELL] Just buckle up, there ain't enough time!
[L] ** Kassandra Alexandria Tristen throws herself down as the truck roars to life.
** Jenny Lee feels the truck vibrate to life, and take them away. All that struggle and pain just to do nothing in the end, but ruin everything.
(Juan Marcello) ** "Vik..." Are Juan's last few mumbles. He hangs on as they ride off. **
