[Taocow PBEM] [Alex and Louissa] Book 3 - Chapter V - England

>> [GM]
>> Alex finds better cover a few feet away by a small hump of earth
>> which, at least, shades her from any kind of IR scan. She cannot
>> see any more movement, but she's very conscious of the fact that
>> those tracking her are likely still doing so, even if they may have
>>  temporarily lost her position.
>> [/GM]

>> [Louissa]
>> Louissa's voice sqwacks over the radio on a secure channel. "Alex,
>> I'm hearing gunfire. Do you need assistance?"
>> [/Louissa]

>> [GM]
>> Alex's sixth sense is going off again.
>> [/GM]

> [Alex]
> "We have a problem," Alex responds. "Being stalked."
> [/Alex]

[Louissa]
"Oh..." she says.  "I'm coming... out."
[/Louissa]

> [Alex]
> Alex will pop up, fire a shot [Strike: 11] and then retreat back
> again
> [/Alex]

[GM]
Alex hits the stalker she's shooting at [Dodge: 4, Damage: 20MD].  She 
hears a faint whistle, sounding very much like a bird, but which Alex 
knows is a signal.
[/GM]

[Louissa]
Louissia creeps up, marks where Alex fired, and sprays the area [Strike: 
16].
[/Louissa]

[GM]
The stalker doesn't even see this other attack coming, and is it, along 
with another one [Damage: 21MD].
[/GM]

[Louissa]
"That'll show 'em." Louissa gloats quietly over the radio.
[/Louissa]

[GM]
At that moment, Alex and Louissa hear roaring over head.  They look up 
to see a fighter jet of some kind losing control several thousand feet 
above and to the north.  It is being pursued by five other jets, much 
more distant, though, oddly, they all appear to be of the same make with 
the same colors.

The lone jet manages at the last minute to pull up and stabilize before 
punching into the ground behind Alex's companions, but is racing towards 
her position at maybe a sixty feet above the ground.
[/GM]

[Louissa]
Louissa shouts "What the f..."  Then her radio goes silent.
[/Louissa]

[GM]
Alex's sense of danger is going off madly.  Though whether it's her or 
Louissa that's now in danger is hard to tell.
[/GM]
