John's large weapons spoke for him as he began to carefully pick through the Pentagon's ruins, looking out for terrorists.

Hey, Witch-king....we were actually already inside the Pentagon when you posted that you were starting to walk towards it, after having asked Thanfield a question....just so you know. You're kind of contradicting your posts by first being with us and then being on your own.

Lol, did you mean your dual Desert Eagles, Lady Dark Moon? Most people don't carry M16 Assault Rifles in holsters (or run around with two of them, for that matter).

-----

Stephen crouched by the doorway, his M4 at his shoulder, ready to move in. "Permission to enter, sir?" he asked Thanfield, military procedure taking precedence over CIA training in his mind. He was used to being point on operations like this, and while he had just now met some of the other Agents on the case, he was already trusting them to watch his back. He knew Riley and Alanna would...it was the others that were the question. He pulled a smoke grenade out of its respective pocket on the front of his vest, ready to throw it in to give them cover as soon as Thanfield told them to move in.

Piece of advice to all of those who are using Beretta 92s or other handguns on this operation instead of Assault Rifles - don't put your character in the front.....it's just impractical with handguns.

(Yes, you can't fight akimbo with assualt rifles)
Steve winked at the English man and said, "Just keep one or two of them alive. Make sure we get some information before they pass away." He waited until the barrage lessened slightly. Then he took out a frag grenade and tossed inside the room where the terrorists were.

((meh...how did I fall so far behind...))

Carly had gone in with the group, and she held out her rifle, a Barrett M648. Her blue eyes flicked around the room, as one of the others threw in a hand grenade. Turning her head, she waited.

OoC.I thought we were outside, and my man went ahead into the rest of Pentagon to check the path for us.

Nope, we're inside, but so far only in the reception area and on the reception area's landing of an emergency stairwell.

---

Stephen threw his smoke grenade in right after the Israeli lobbed a frag in. He intentionally bounced it off the stairwell wall so that it ended up on the same landing on the terrorists and pretty much destroyed their line of sight. Firing ahead of himself, Stephen charged inside, running up the stairs into the wall of smoke. He dropped to the ground in mid-stride as he heard someone say 'duck!'
A flashbang flew over his head, and he instinctively turned his head as the grenade went off and brilliant light lit up the area. He rolled to his knees against the wall, waving for at least some of the others to come forward and give him some more backup.

OoC.well ok, then I went ahead down a non-terrorist infested hall INSIDE.

Alanna followed as Stephen headed up the stairs, squinting through the haze. As the flashbang went off, she turned her head, her ears protected by her earplugs. She made out her colleague's figure and skidded across the landing to take a position on the opposite side, ready to catch anyone headed that way in an angled crossfire.

[heh desert eagles yeah. my bad]

Thanfield ducked behind the stairway when the grenades went off, shielding his eyes against the light flare. He darted up the stairs, drawing level with Alanna and Stephen.

The barrage of withering gunfire had receded. He could make out the hazy outline of the terrorists in black combat fatigues and carrying AK-47s rushing up to the third floor.

The piece of flaming ceiling completely blocked their progress. There was no way to move it, and at this rate fire would soon consume the entire stairway. Thanfield cursed as more debris rained down. Thanks to his gas mask, he wasn't suffocating but he could feel the heat.

"This stairway's a goner!" he shouted above the roar of the flames. "We have to find another way to the third floor!"

_________________

"There's no time!" Swiftly, Alanna slung her rifle over her back and palmed the concussion grenade from Ashcroft. The piece of flaming ceiling was about to become much warmer. "Stand back and get down!" she cried, darting back herself. Holding down the spoon, she yanked out the pin. Five ... she lobbed it at the obstruction. Four ... the agent ran back still further to the stair entrance, motioning the others with her. Three ... the grenade landed and bounced to a stop beside the barrier. Two ... she curled up in a ball, wrapping her arms around her head. One ... and then the roar of a shock wave as the piece disintegrated and shrapnel flew. Standing up, Alanna checked to see that her comrades were still in one piece.

Steve ran with the rest of the agents and took cover as the ceiling piece was destroyed. "Any idea what to do next?" he asked.
