Howling Sands

The third pilot seemed to have opened frequencies to taunt Edoric, right before he started his attack. The message went from a thick, 'joisey', "Y'ready to die you fuckin punk- OHH GOD MY ARRRRRRMS!", as it flailed its' stumps behind Edoric in pain when he cut its' arms off, forgetting it had missile launchers. Suddenly, to his side, Edoric hears multiple KRAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAAKAK, coming from multiple sources.

Another comms message, "Hey, who the hell are you?", a smoother, calmer, yet slightly solemn tongue. It continues, "I don't think I was getting support. What's this gonna be, a 4-versus-3-versus-one?". After he says so, an explosion is heard, and a "GAAAAAAAAAAAH!" from Wesson 2 over Wesson 3's comms. The other voice from before, "Scratch that, 4vs2vs1.".

Everyone would see a fairly armored hover-leg type, with two small, automatic shotguns, with drum-magazines. As the battle raged on, the defenses of the Refinery came to their senses and begin firing wildly at anything that looked dangerous, their outdated and already damaged systems getting mildly confused. Raymond introduced himself, "Well, new ones, I'm Raymond. These guys are assholes, huh?", "Four versus one with defenses support..sounds fair, dudn't? Hahahah! Yeah, right!".

In any case, more happenings at the refinery while the Howling Sands Squad (you guys) goes to the target area.

After everyone launched, Jeanne tunes in another time. "If the console isn't on the fritz, everyones' launched successfully.". "If anything, or anyone comes up, tell me and your team-mates. If they're hostile, just shoot the shit out of them." She laughs a little at her bluntness, "In any case! Rendezvous at the target point and commence the operation."

MEANWHILE, AT THE REFINERY.
Raymond continues his patrols... and sees something! A small, purple dot, far away. Them. He opens communications on all frequencies. "Wesson Battalion, I thought you were the aggressive ones?" A reply, a gentleman with an obviously American accent. "That's Colt, you moron. What, y'gonna do, one versus three? Fucking independents, y'think you can take us on and win?", Raymond, angrily, "You corporate flunkies! I should show you what 'Swan-Song' is capable of!". "Yeah, you do that. Step into our line of fire, dipshit. You aren't our target, I'd allow you to leave, if you weren't a retarded independent.". Raymond continues, mentally frothing at the mouth a little, "Hnng! You fuckers!", but before he makes a move, the SN gunship captain from before radios in again, "Raymond! It isn't obvious they're riling you up for a trap? Stay calm and continue your patrols.". Raymond returns to his senses, and eyes where Wesson group is just... watching.

MEANWHILE, AS THE HOWLING SANDS SQUADRON BEGINS TO MANEUVER AWAY FROM HOWLING SANDS HQ...
Jeanne gives another status report. "Ah shit, heads-up! I think the Wesson Group is about to make a move near the SN refinery, they just entered our scouting units' visual range. It might be a fluke, though, just a notice. Scouting unit's sensors are on the fritz, probably minor damage." "We really need a new shipment of scout drones... Remind me to ask Traore about that next time he's available."

"Although Wesson Group was never part of the plan, I believe you four can do this. I've trained you all well, and a 4v3 isn't entirely unreasonable in an NCM fight. Just don't let all three of them focus on one target, then they'll probably do their 'Line-and-shoot' technique. I've heard about it in action, it's much more effective then it sounds. But, continue the mission."

Howling Sands

Sure! I'm thinking three levels.

Hangar level, (the top), which is devoted entirely to the hangar/entrance bits, and has a big elevator to the second level, and stairs. obviously.
Personnel level, which is the actual 'basey' part, with the barracks, armory, control room, briefing room (connected to the hallway that leads to the stairs, that go up to the hangar, if that makes sense).
And the Maintenance level, which has all of the base's storages and has the primary generator room and all, also much more heavily armored back-up command facilities in case of attack.

Howling Sands

Heheh, yeah.
