Breaking the Barrier - IC

"Umm..." Daian stuttered, "I'm not entirely sure what to say to that, but, alright?" He looked at Orion, Is he thinking that we're going to die first? he thought. He shook his head, No, that can't be it. Orion would never want me to die, and vice versa. Right? He looked at the group, it was true, they seemed to have the smallest chances of survival. After all, the others were more equipped than them, and nobody would like poor little Anne die, she was too sweet.

He looked at the Orion, "Yeah, I guess we can watch each others back, but, I don't think either of us are going to die anytime soon." He smiled nervously, "After all, I'm pretty sure we both have people to get back to outside. You have whomever, and I have either a he or she that I met online!" He was trying to lighten the dreary mood, he got enough of this daily in the barracks with the few depressed teens that were there that he had to teach.

Maul stood, slightly hunched due to his height. Being in the bunker was bad for his spinal area to say the least. His optics went over each and every member of their rag tag team. His eyes stopped on Orion and Daian, and he listened to them converse."Probability of either of you two dying is much higher than any of the rest of us, unless you count this one." He motioned with his chainsaw to Anne.

Maul rolled his robotic shoulders, the sound of gears cutting through some overgrowth was distinct and audible."I could use a good exercise..." He turned back to Orion and Daian."You will both survive though; I assure you of this. My programming would not allow for me to leave either of you to die." That was his, I'll be it weak, attempt at comforting them."Where are the others?" He said, looking down the hall."This cannot be our whole force...We barely number enough to take out two packs of those creatures, and the chance of there being only two packs between us and our objective is 32.91% and lowering as time passes."

Maul began internally accessing known data stored about his fellow militia soldiers and saying them out loud.

"Designation: Dave, occupation in base: Scientist and doctor. Useful ally on the battlefield due to his medical training.

Designation: Delta, mutli-purpose android. Many uses on the battlefield, including 'her' combat abilities.

Designation: Orion, skills unknown, data of subject insufficient.

Designation: Daian, presumed scientists, data of subject insufficient.

Designation: Valentine, exceptional leadership and combat abilities. Protection of subject is absolutely necessary.

Designation: Anne, skills unknown, data of subject insufficient. Presumed useless in battle. Listing of team members and known skill set complete."

Dave looks at maul and does his own calculations. "his data is logical."

Niko casually calibrated his energy pistol as he awaited his small group. After finishing he spun the pistol easily around his index finger before slipping it into the sleek holster below the energy blade handle. As he looked up he noticed the group file in one by one. He rolled his shoulders a little before doing a couple light squats, twisting his upper torso left and right to loosen up before heading out. Nikolas silently listened to the chatter between the group. Hearing Maul's list of group members and their usefulness he believed that was his queue to speak up. "What Maul is trying to say is that everyone has their special skillset. Play to your strength out there, no reason to try something you're weak at and getting yourself killed. Be safe and keep an eye open at all times. We have to rely on each other, we are a unite and we need to stay that way, for all of our safety." Nikolas began, his Irish tone serious and straightforward, making himself clear. "We need everyone on their A game. Lock and load ladies and gentlemen, time to save this shit rock."

With that he slammed his palm out to his left against a small red button on the wall next to the long stair hallway up towards topside. With a loud creaking and the sound of metal rubbing on concrete could be heard as the latch opened slowly. A dry heat rushed in and felt as if it singed the hairs off your brow. He reached down into a low crate and pulled out a low power SMG that were good on little creatures though practically a tickle on the bigger, more common ones. With that he jogged up the stairs and into the open air. The world seemed incredibly vast compared to the bunker they all had been living in for so long. The scene was a deep red, their world now a constant hue of red from the bright glow of the floating space craft left untouched in the sky. Most of the former lush vegetation was flattened out by the creatures roaming or withered away without the sunlight. It was primarily a baron waste of rolling hills and jagged mountain zones with few towns scattered about, most left in rubble. "I instructed the person over the radio to wait for us just a bit away. Remember, eyes open." Nikolas instructed to the team before getting into a nice jog heading east as a steady pace; his vision constantly looking from right to left as far ahead as he could for any kind of movement.

Daian followed everyone outside. God this place is disgusting... he commented, mostly on the ruined towns. He shook his head, Not the time for thoughts like that Daian. You have a job to do! Jogging behind some of the group, he looked over to the sides, and wondered how the hell he even got into the situation. He shook his head again, dispelling the distractions from his mind. Focus Daian, focus! he commanded himself over and over, almost like a mantra of sorts.

Delta moved out with the others her sensors swept the area as she watched for any sign of movement.
Athena her tactical cpu was in constant calibration of every facet of their surroundings and the movement of the group adjusting her reactions defensively and offensively.
Delta had no intention of allowing any in the group fall by her own inaction, she had pledged their safety above her own long ago.
There is a bigger picture here sisterinformed Athena as she reminded her that all of them were expendable to save the rest of humanity outside of this hell

Maul rolled his massive shoulders, before stepping out with the rest of the group. His optical sensors scanned the environment for any signs of life...friendly or otherwise. His optics stopped on a small town in the distance, each and every building there seemed to be absolutely wrecked."No signs of life as of yet." Maul said, before returning to scanning the wasteland. The massive robot stopped walking, when he heard a small sound to his left. Without thinking, he whipped to the side and covered a pile of rubble in plasma. As he did this, rats scattered from the rock in which they had made their nest. Few of the rodents had survived.

"Error. Movement created by common rodents. There is no need for alarm." Maul said, loud enough for their group to hear. He turned straight once more, and began walking, his massive feet smashing against the ground. The war machine sounded like an elephant, and would most likely alert anything nearby to the sound of his walking. Maul moved a bit faster, which didn't help with the sound issue, until he was next to the android called Dave."Robots...Should stick together." Maul concluded, not turning to face Dave in the slightest. Maul's programming had suggested accompanying the doctor, due to what seemed to be his inability to protect himself well.
