IC: =^=Roger that… Dusting Off.=^= With that the Liberty lifted off with the aforementioned cloud of dust.

She paused for a moment before she leapt over the battle field between the fortress and where the Federation personnel were holed up. Every few moments the Liberty’s main weapon swept out before her in a low but wide arc… silencing the few attackers. In general the Liberty wasn’t a close support weapon, more a delivery craft, but against the relative small arms of the Orion defense team she was more than sufficient to lay waves of suppressing fire.

As the Liberty took off, Kate ducked down and turned away from the oncoming dust. As it blowed away, she turned back towards the fortress.

Haygen and his Marines made it to the Away Team, The marines with the Gunny fanned out in thier teams and started fire suppression, fireing short bursts and rotating between one another to keep a steady stream of fire while conserving power in the weapons. “Well LT, You may not have sent the invitation but it looks like a pretty fun party you have here.”

Haygen

“Oh you know me Gunny, always up for a good time. But it’s not my party…” Kate trailed off as the XO walked over.

Sara walked over and said “It’s actually my party, as you do delicately put it. Lt Cmdr Sara Kiernan. We’re pressing for that fortress.” she pointed toward their objective. “The Orion stole some precious gems from the natives. Now we’re caught here. Now you’re up to speed.”

“I think that means it is time to take back the fortress. Hopefully with the Liberty giving us some air support, this will be a breeze.

“Commander, we can have the wounded stay back, but we should capitalize on our advantage now before the Orions have a chance to recover.”

2nd Lt Hawkins - Marine XO

Unfortunately there weren’t any injuries, the two officers that were hit by disrupters on kill and they did their job too well.

The gunny assessed his marines, they were already moving the heavy weapons teams into position. The assualt teams were prepared to move. “If we are going to do this, we do it now.”

Haygen
Marine

OOC: How many marines are we talking about. Heavy weapons team(s) - assault team(s)… how big are these teams, pairs, squads, platoons, companies???

Sara looked over at the field and said “Agreed. Get the wounded to a secure position, then we move out.” They couldn’t hear it in her voice, but she was scared. Not of dying, but of losing others in the unit. She surveyed the team, watching them work toward the end of rushing a horde of Orion.

-Lt Cmdr Sara Kiernan, XO

The Orions on the defense, at least at this moment, were vastly outnumbered and suppressed by the Liberty’s periodic fire. In fact the Liberty was only using a fraction of the phaser power as it had enough force to blow complete holes in the terrain so large that it would cave in the underground network… or just vaporize it in total.

GM

OOC: Haygen brought a platoon which should be 27 Marines with the losses he has suffered so far. There should be two, two man heavy weapons teams, the rest should be broken into 4, 6 man assault teams.

The Marines and Star-Fleet personnel were more than capable of laying down enough suppressing fire to breach the base at any chosen location.
