Thanks, SuAside. I had meant to point that out too. Lt. Blanco is actually U.S. Army and not USAF. She answered to Lereux while he was in command. She and Malone are both 1st Lieutenants, but Malone is senior and was the executive officer for this mission. Javier Ramirez also technically holds...

Thanks! I got your PM and replied to it. EDIT: Just because McCain failed his Persuade roll does not mean Lt. Malone disagrees. As it happens, she's inclined to support removing Lereux from command anyway. You can edit out her reaction - I'll write it myself when I update.

I didn't get a PM from you. I got an email notification during the weekend that I had received a PM, but it didn't say who it was from and nothing appeared in my Inbox. Can you resend it?

That's true, but Kimberly and Joe don't have time to unload their shotguns and swap in slugs for buckshot. They do have time to aim for the legs, however. This also means that Ortega's body armor wouldn't reduce the damage if he's hit. He, Blanco, and Ramirez backed away from the helicopter...

On the west side of the motel- Duran and Thayer began using the furniture to barricade the southwest stairway. In the medic's room- "Stand by the door," said Zorie Spooner to Igor Malanowski. "It's best you don't touch him any more. Once he's patched up I'll have a look at you. In the...

Welcome back, Stompie! I'll wait until this weekend before updating to give you a chance to catch up and get back into the game - plus I have little time during the week. This is a pivotal moment, and Ortega and Wallace could play key roles. Currently, the only military people near the...

On the west side of the motel- "I'll get his arms," said Zorie Spooner to Malanowski, "and you get his legs. Be careful not to touch his wounds, just in case." She spoke into the radio as the two of them lifted the wounded medic. "We're bringing Phillips upstairs!" "Negative on that!"...

Black is using ball ammo. I'm not even certain if they have incendiary ammo with them, as the main threat they've been expecting to face is infected people who don't use vehicles. In any case, he wouldn't want to use incendiary ammo now. As long as he hits (92% or less) he can fire clean through...

The helicopter is facing south, as that is the direction it was flying in when it landed. The snipers are due west of it and facing east, so a shot from the Barrett would go through one side and out the other. It wouldn't hit the fuel tank in the rear unless the shot was badly missed (unlikely...

In the upstairs comm room- Captain Lereux opened the door when Sergeant McCain spoke from the other side. "Yes, Sergeant," he said as he got back to work on hooking up the communications gear, "I'd very much like a sitrep." He spoke into his throat microphone. "Sergeant Black, what kind of...

No problem. I'll probably wait until Sunday to update to give Stompie one more chance to post, and I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to update again before next weekend anyway.

On the motel stairs- Lt. Malone jogged back upstairs when she saw Cole fall and stop moving. "Malone here," she reported over the radio. "Cole's down for good." She knocked on the door of the comm room near the top of the stairs. "Sir, it's me." In the upstairs comm room- Zorie Spooner...

I'm writing the update right now, in fact. Should be done in an hour or so.

What Welsh said. We're about halfway done the chapter now. So far in this chapter the body count has been fairly low, but you've been lucky. Don't count on things staying that way. :twisted:

That's okay, and thanks for your interest. I'm glad you enjoy reading the story, and if you ever have time later there will still be room.

Luke can take the same route back across the roof to see Bob and the others at the helicopter, but just because it held up the first time he went over it doesn't mean it will a second time or that he'll step on the exact same spots. I rolled Luck again, which at 90% wasn't a problem. Kevlar...

From Luke's position on the roof, he can't actually see the helicopter or the people near it. The chopper is about 20 yards west of the diner, but it is over 40 yards across and he's on the eastern edge. He can hear the whistle with no problem, but he should roll Listen to determine if he can...

On the west side of the motel- Even with both of Cole's legs crippled, he was able to drag himself fairly quickly with his strong arms the short distance between him and Malanowski. He managed to seize him, and Malanowski could not get out of the way, but he was able to break the hold...

No worries. I'm planning to update tomorrow, and I can make any needed rolls for your characters (such as Sanity for Hockey). If there's anything you'd like your characters to do this round, you can let me know. Hockey is the only one left who can shoot at Cole before he attacks someone, but...

Zombies are good at smashing things, remember. They will eventually be able to smash through the barricades and get up the stairs. In Chapter 1, when I was still a player, I was thinking of destroying the stairs, but since they are largely made of concrete this isn't possible.
