Title: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Grovygrunge on July 21, 2015, 02:21:32 PM
It is currently midnight, if the clock at the center of Riga Station is to be believed. It seems to be just about the only thing which works properly in the whole station, the lights are dim and most of them flicker all the time. You can't really blame the officials who run the station though, as former members of staff for the metro they must hate to see this station in it's current state, and it is not like the station is rich. Most people here don't have a bullet to spare, and so far forced to live in the Black Street, with homes that are so small and cramped they can barely fit in them. The only thing keeping the station afloat, was the fact it joins the VDNKh Commonwealth with the rest of the metro, which as of late seems like more of a problem than anything.


All of this however, is far from Aleksander's mind. He is sitting by the fire on watch, the shoddy quality AK given to him by his side, ready for him to grab. He stares off into the tunnel, as if trying to see something in the almost impenetrable darkness, that the high powered light we have seems to only make a dent in. "It's a wonder that thing even works really." He tears his gaze away from the tunnel and looks into the relaxing glow of the fire, yet even that cannot stop a man at the mouth of a tunnel from feeling on edge. He'd heard enough stories, and seen enough to know a good few of them were true, those tunnels are nothing but bad news.

Angder Stumbles over to the fire. "Anything happening?" He asks. "Or just another boring night." Angder sighs. "Stupid **censor** station, watch for hordes of monsters, and what do we get in return, **censor** all."

Alkesander looks up to Angder from the fire. "You're just a child, one day you will learn it's not that bad. You have a place to sleep and bullets to pay for what you need. Now keep your complaining to a minimum, otherwise we won't hear if a bandit or mutant tries to waltz into our home." A low growl echoes throughout the tunnel, this isn't that uncommon, it's most likely one of the mutants somewhere inside it, but it puts Aleksander on edge anyway. He nudges his AK slightly closer to him, just in case. "So, you find watch duty boring huh? Well then why don't I tell you a little something I heard about. It may help you."

Angder sits down. "Well. I'm listening."

Aleksander leans a little closer to Angder. "You've heard of VDNKh Station, right? The one all the way near the end, close to the unexplored stations. Well, I heard something interesting about them recently, apparently they've found a new kind of mutant. They're said to be pitch black and make almost no sound, so it's hard to notice them before it's too late. Apparently they're tough to put down too and not only that, I've heard tales that the sight of them alone drives a man mad. You want to know what the worst part it, they say it's possible that soon they'll destroy VDNKh, may have already, then they'll make their way through the Commonwealth." He grins. "But I'm certain that it's just another baseless tale, you never know though. Stranger things have happened."

The sound of a hand cart could be heard off in the distance. But it was going much faster than it should, which was the first thing that tipped you off. The second was probably a burst of suppressed gunfire, the loud clap echoing through the tunnels.
By then, if you hadn't risen and flicked off the safety on your Kalashnikov, There was a third warning, a man screamingg "Pizdets! We must be getting close, there's just too many!" Then, more gunfire.
"Hey, look!" someone shouts "A light!" He didn't pause this time, but the gunfire was still interspersed throughout his words "Nosalises! Alarm Alarm!"

"Keep going! **censor**' move it!" Kazbek shouted to his brother, who was busy operating the lever on the hand cart, He fired another burst from his AK at the mutants, sending at least 2 of them crash down onto the cold tunnel floor. "Blya! they're everywhere!"

Before he even finished speaking, a large nosalis jumped down from the wall and landed on the side of the cart with a loud crash, shaking the small metal frame of the cart. Kazbek instinctively twisted around and quickly pulled the trigger on his rifle, but rather than the loud staccato chatter of his machine gun, all he heard was a hollow 'Click'. His magazine was empty.

The mutant screeched and swung it's claws at the East European Shepherd, striking him in the chest before he could dodge the attack. Kazbek was thrown backwards and almost rolled off the edge of the cart, but Foma  grabbed his left arm just as he went over the edge, barely holding him inches above the rapidly spinning wheels and sharp spikes of the track.

Without hesitation, Kazbek withdrew his pistol with his free hand and fired all 8 rounds into the nosalis on the cart. The mutant tumbled backwards with a growl of pain and fell onto the tracks as Foma heaved his brother back into the cart.

"Thanks brother, Riga's just up ahead, we've almost made it!"

Alina was hanging around the waypoint waiting to see if something would happen. She kept quiet and had her hood to her large patchwork hoodie up over her head. She was humming a soft tune as she was dissecting a small rat with her dagger waiting for something to happen. then the gunshots could be heard. Peaking around a corner she looked to see what was happening.

Aleksander grabbed his AK and quickly rose off of hos stool, knocking it over with a bang which echoed through the tunnel. He could tell from the sounds of suppressed gunfire and shouting coming from the tunnel that this could mean nothing but trouble. He tapped Angder on the shoulder roughly. "Did you not hear that or something? Grab your gun and get ready to kill whatever freaks come after whoever the hell that is!" He flicked the safety on his AK off and quickly made his way to the alarm, which was just a shoddy looking bell, and rang it with as much force as he could, screaming "Nosalises!" at the top of his lungs, the sound sure to draw anyone else on watch nearby. "There had better be a good reason for this..."

Angder grabs his. "Guess we will have time for stories later Grampa." Angder states. "This day just got interesting." Angder flicks the safety off, and aims his gun as the cart approached, and fires on a series of mutants, short controlled bursts taking out four or five. Say what you like about Angder's attitude, he is good with his gun, and was clearly taking the opportunity to prove that.

"Thank me later!" Foma huffed as he pulled his brother back onto the cart "with... vodka!"
He then quickly gets back to pushing, the lever up and down, rhythmically, quite glad that Riga was just up ahead. Much more of this and his arms would have given out.
Once the shepherd judged they were close enough, Foma brought the cart to a halt as quickly as the brakes would allow, hopping off of it and grabbing up his fancy Kalashnikov, with polymer furniture and a Russian red dot sight, and began firing at the pursuing mutants. Hopefully, the guards would recognize his and his brother's armor, that of a Polis Ranger, with fancy jackets, pants with kneepads and a heavy flak vest. Well, maybe not rangers, but at the very least well to do stalkers.

Alina saw the cart in the distance and leaned out of her hiding spot a bit more to see what was happening. More gunfire that means lots of things that she could kill. She couldn't wait any longer she ran to a nearby vent and removed the cover revealing her secret stash of weapons. The orphanage she lived at would confiscate them right away so she hid them here so she wouldn't have to worry about losing them. And killing big people was bad so she couldn't do that unless she was protecting herself, well that's what they say anyway.

Alina pulled out a shoebox from the vent and opened the lid revealing pow pow a badly scratched up makarov pistol. It was still good though she would steal parts from the gun vendors to fix it up when she needed to useing the knowledge that the bandits taught her to repair it. She then picked up the pistol and checked to see of the magazine inside it had bullets. Swiftly pressing the mag release button it fell out. She missed the catch and the magazine fell to the floor letting out a soft clatter as it bounced along the ground. At least it was full.

Aleksander raises his weapon and began firing bursts of rounds into any nosalises that came into his sight. He wasn't the best shot but was clear he had some experience outside of the fairly sub-par training given to men before they have to take up the watch. He recognises the armour the two men on the cart were wearing and cocks his head. "Rangers? All the way up here?" He decided no to question it until they were out of any immediate danger.


It had seemed the alarm had mostly fell upon deaf ears as only a few more men getting prepared for their shift arrived, weapons in hand. But that was better than nothing. They started to fire upon the mutants as well.

Kazbek followed his brother down the tunnel, keeping his head down as he ran towards the dim, but welcoming lights of Riga station. Bullets zipped past them as they ran through the centre of the tunnel, each round ricocheting with a burst of sparks as they struck the walls. The Nosalises were right behind them, gaining on the stalkers with each step.
 
Neither of them had time to reload their weapons as they ran and they were still about 20 yards from the station barricade, It looked like there was at least a few good shooters at the station but they wouldn't be able to take down the horde of mutants before Foma and Kazbek made it to the station.
Thinking quickly, he pulled out the Molotov cocktail out of his belt and lit the fuse with his cigarette lighter, upon seeing the fuse begin to spark he shouted a warning to the others.

"Incendiary out! Cover me!" He shouted down the tunnel before smashing the bottle down behind him.

In less than a second the entire tunnel behind him was engulfed in a burst of flames, The heat scorched his back and the screeches of burning Nosalises filled his ears, a few mutants still ran through the flames, burning as they ran. But most of them, afraid of the flames halted in their tracks.

Foma had already clambered over the barricade with the help of some of the guards, and he quickly reached down to pull Kazbek over steel fence and behind the relative safety of the wall.

The flames may have held them off for a while, but the mutants were still charging at them. Kazbek aimed his rifle and slapped a new magazine into it, joining the small group of defenders firing down the tunnel.

"Keep Firing! Let's show those mutants that we're still the predators down here!" a Guard shouted

Post by: Drakeyboy on July 23, 2015, 02:20:07 PM
Alina picked up the magazine and quickly slapped it into pow pow. She pulled the slide half way to see if there was a bullet in the chamber. There wasn't so she pulled it the rest of the way and let it go hearing another click. She picked up two other magazines and stuffed them into her front pocket of her hoodie. Without hesitation sketch kicked the box back into the vent and slid the grate back up.

After all that was all said and done she poked her head out and saw the smoldering tunnel and somewhere to hide from the big people so they wouldn't take her away while they were still fighting. she looked around at all the men and waited for the best time to run over. Once that happened she ran to the cover she picked out. It was a stack of crates off to the side. Once she was there she poked her head up seeing the monsters running this way. She rested her arms on one of the crates with her pistol in hand and started taking shots towards them.

Angder watches the flaming mutants die from their guns, soon the horde starts to thin. Angder grins like a maniac, Gun in hand, he had blown through a lot of bullets, but he did not really care. He had not had this much fun in months, maybe even years.
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Grovygrunge on July 24, 2015, 12:29:21 AM
Aleksander fired off a couple of bursts, killing two mutants as he does, then there's a loud click as he runs out of bullets. He ejects the magazine and slides his spare in until her hears a click. As he does this he spots the child taking cover against a stack of crates. "What in the **censor**?" A nosalises charges for him as his attention is diverted from them.


The sound of gunfire is almost deafening and the almost constant muzzle flashes are enough to cause your eyes to hurt at the very sight. Bullet casings fall to the ground with almost inaudible little clings which is drowned out by the crescendo.

Alina was keeping a eye over tge crowd of monsters just injuring the things that were getting too close by shooting them in the limbs. The one that pulled away to get to Aleksander was no exception. She shot it in the flank causing it to stumble from the surprise. But another one broke free and Alina aimed and pulled the trigger "click!" Alina's eyes grew as she though she had a few more shots. She quickly hit the mag release button letting the magazine fall out as she grabbed another slapping it into pow pow quickly. She looked up as she was hitting the magazine and saw the monster heading in her general direction. It must have not see her yet so she leaned up against the crates hoping it would get attracted to someone else.

Fighting nosalises was relatively easy, at least compared to Demons, watchmen, and Shrimp... Shrimp just plain creeped Foma out.
Foma rapidly switched from target to target, pulling his trigger a few times (he prefers semi-automatic; it wastes less ammo, and when your ammo was your paycheck, it, literally, paid to conserve ammunition.)
With the two experienced rangers, and the other men who had rushed to the guard post, the mutants quickly fell.
Eventually, Foma figured, they would stop their assault. Though thwy may not be the smartest, all animals know not to poke their head where they may be burned.

Post by: Khaki (on hiatus) on July 24, 2015, 02:36:27 PM
Kazbek stood next to Foma and fired on any mutants that his brother missed. After a few moments, the gunfire began to dissipate as the final mutants either fled back into the tunnel or were gunned down where they stood. Kazbek lowered his weapon and he switched again to his pistol to let the rifle's barrel cool down. Suddenly, a flash of grey next to him caught his attention. He turned his head to see a single nosalis jump through the gap in the barricade. The creature ran towards them, teeth bared and claws open. Before anyone could even react, the Nosalis's head jerked sideways as two pistol rounds struck it, killing it instantly.

A short silence followed as the last gunshots echoed down the tunnel, but it was soon followed by a few cheers and victorious shouts.

Before someone asked the inevitable question of what the two Polis stalkers where doing here. Kazbek looked for the shooter who had taken down the last mutant and was surprised to see a young girl aiming a Makarov at the dead creature.

"What are you doing here? This is no place for a young girl... but... who taught you to shoot like that?" Kazbek as the mysterious girl, genuinely curious.

Post by: Grovygrunge on July 24, 2015, 02:52:54 PM
"I had been wondering the same thing when I noticed her there." Some of the men started to go back to what they were doing, a few stuck around to see the aftermath. Aleksander looked from the girl to the stalkers and back to the girl. "There is also the question of, why are you two here? We need some answers about what just happened." He sighed quietly. "I was hoping for a peaceful night this time."
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Angder on July 24, 2015, 02:59:56 PM
Angder walks back to Aleksander, whistling happily. "Speak for yourself, I have wanted a night like this for a looong time... Still I second his question." Angder grins at the two stalkers, waiting for an explanation.
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Ryan Naismith on July 24, 2015, 03:16:49 PM
"Looking for a book." Foma said, leaning back against one side of the tunnel, allowing his kalashnikov to hang by its straps "anyways, we were walking along the tunnel, nosalises came... we ran for a bit, and we're sure as hell lucky to have found that cart... you can have it, by the way, we have no need for it." Realizing that he probably needed to explain more, the stalker stood, dusting off his pants "the reason why we're in Riga specifically, we were traveling, and riga was on the way. Why go somewhere above ground when you can stay underground, and not waste filters?"
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Drakeyboy on July 24, 2015, 03:24:45 PM
(Don't force people to do things Khaki. It's not cool.)

Alina was surprised when she was caught killing the last monster. If she didn't do it though good people would have died. She flicked the safety on pow pow and lowered her head expecting them to be mad. After stuffing her pistol into her pocket she softly spoke. "Uhm... people out in the tunnels showed me." Dispite her being thirteen her intelligence was closer to a young child. You can blame the bandits for that.

"You weren't supposed to tell them about the book!" Kazbek hissed at his brother, before angrily pulling off his steel helmet and attaching it back on to his waist. Looking around at the group of defenders, he realized that there was little risk of telling these station guards the purpose of their mission. They had just saved Foma's and kazbek's asses, so they were hardly going to betray them to the Reds and after all, they deserved to know why they risked their station to save them. Kazbek sat down on one of the sandbags placed on the barricade, and took a swig from the metal flask of vodka on his belt before passing it his brother, who offered it to some of the station guards.

"Ahh, to hell with it... My brother and I are searching for the journal of Lenin." The Shepherd paused for a few moments, "The Book is possibly the most important artifact that's floating around the metro right now, it holds incredible propaganda value for the Communist stations, enough to inspire a massive attack. Our mission is to prevent it from falling into their hands and bring it back to Polis station... We need your help, we can't do it alone..."

Alkesander listened intently as the stalker's spoke, interested in what they were up to. "Oh, really? The journal of Lenin. That's interesting. Well, good luck with that." He takes the flask and takes a swig from it, sighing in relief. "Nothing like some vodka after something like that." He turned his attention to the girl. "So...who are you?"
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Drakeyboy on July 24, 2015, 04:35:10 PM
Alina held her hands together in front of her hidden inside her large sleeves. "Uhm... I'm Alina..." she said.
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Ryan Naismith on July 25, 2015, 02:14:15 AM
Foma just finished taking a good, long swig of the flask his brother had offered him. He had his own flask, of real, Pre-war stuff, that he keep in a small flask in his pack. He also had three bottles (not including the one he took the vodka from his flask in) back at polis, and he treasured them like they were his children... he had traded a makeshift grenade launcher for them, after all. Honestly he hated the showroom vodka that grew in thr metro; it tasted too much like tea to him. But, his bottles of "Absolut" vodka were rare. He saved them for special, special occasions.
When he lowered the bottle, he had gained a small murmur of appreciation from the nearby guards, he had chugged most of the flask. And it was quite large!
"Haha!" He went, smiling broadly, placing his hands on his hips in a victorious gesture "I... win!" Then, he noticed that there seemed to be a relatively short guard... no, that was a child! "Schto ta Blyin?" He muttered to himself, standing and speaking in a louder tone, walking up to the child "Hey, what the hell are you doing here, kid?" He asked, obviously quite mad at her presence. She was putting herself in all stupid kinds of danger, and them as well. "What makes you think you have any idea what you're doing with that shitty Mak, eh?" From his tone, one could easily tell that he was quite angry... could be the showroom vodka (they did brew it strong in the metro), or it could be the fact that he had, honestly, never liked children.
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Khaki (on hiatus) on July 25, 2015, 12:47:38 PM
Kazbek laughed and shook his head as his brother celebrated finishing the flask, He made a mental note to buy some more vodka next time he passed a trader. The stalker turned his attention to cleaning his weapon by quickly pulling some wire and a small rag through the barrel of the gun, removing the unburnt gunpowder and brass fragments.

He turned to the older Wolf, who appeared to be the one in charge on the barricade.

"Hey, thanks for your help earlier. We'd be worm food by now if it wasn't for you guys... I know it isn't much but i have a few round to spare" Kazbek said, as he handed a few clips of pre-war ammunition over to both of the wolves as a gift. "Oh, and I'm Kazbek. The aspiring alcoholic over there is my bro, Foma, what are your names?"
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Grovygrunge on July 25, 2015, 12:59:07 PM
Aleksander glared at Foma. "She may be a child but need I remind you she saved two people's lives. Not that she shouldn't even have that thing or be here but cut the child a little slack." He turned to Kazbek, taking the clips and waiting a few moments before handing most of it to Angder. "Don't spend it all in one place, kid." He gestured to himself. "I am Aleksander. That over there is Angder." He gestured to the younger wolf, after that he made his way to the fire which was starting to die out. "Boy, go get some fire wood. These two seem like a rest by the fire would do them some good." He was talking to Angder.
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Angder on July 25, 2015, 01:27:31 PM
Angder grins as he takes the ammo. "thanks Alek." Angder heads off, and comes back with some Firewood, the extra ammo was almost enough to forgive Alek for calling him boy... Almost.

He places the wood in the fire, watching it ignite and grow. He grins. "Sounds like one bad-ass child to me..."

Alina lowered her head in sadness even more when she was getting yelled at. That was it she was losing pow pow. But then she heard the the old man say good things. She ran away from the mean man and hid behind the old guy. "I don't like him." She said quietly. She thought about stabbing him but he was a good guy so doing so was bad.
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Ryan Naismith on July 26, 2015, 05:28:50 PM
Foma shook his head, shooting a dirty glare in the direction of the child. She shouldn't be here, and the stalker wanted her to know that.
He quickly turned to the guardsmen, his mood becoming much more merry "Ah, What the hell..." The east European shepherd shrugged off his pack, laying it against the side of a wall. He took a moment to root through it. He came up a moment later, Flask of something in his hand. Once he opened it, one could tell from the stench that it was quite obviously vodka; pre-war. Made with some sort of plant not grown anymore. If you cared to hear foma rant about it, he would say its from a far off land, many, many miles from the metro.
He took a quick swig, making a brief grin (he had always loved the taste of pre-war vodka), then offering the drink to his brother.
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Khaki (on hiatus) on July 27, 2015, 02:02:16 AM
Kazbek declined brother's offer of vodka, The pre-war stuff was often far stronger than anything else he'd drank before.  The last thing he wanted was to get drunk at a foreign metro station, he couldn't trust someone not to steal his gear and pawn it for some food.

"Y'know brother, it often helps if we don't piss off the locals. we don't want a repeat of the time we got drunk at Venice station with those girls and-" Kazbek paused, remembering that there was a child nearby. He sighed and continued in a lower voice "The point is we have a mission to complete, we cannot afford to stay here any longer than we need to"

He let his brothers arm go and sat back down near the fire. He enjoyed the warmth of the flames and leaned against the sandbags, after a few moments he noticed the young girl was practically hiding behind Aleksander now. Kazbek took off his helmet and placed it in the ground next to him,

"Hey kid, don't worry about my brother, he doesn't really mean it like that"

Post by: Grovygrunge on July 27, 2015, 10:25:28 PM
Aleksander looks confused as the child hides behind him. He cocks his head and tries to turn around to face her. "What are you doing child?" He points to the fire and pulls up a seat. "Go relax by the fire for a second." He sits on the floor by the fire. He warmed his hands with the flames heat and rubbed them together. There was an eerie breeze coming from the tunnel. "So about this journal, where is it exactly? Or do you not know yourselves?"
Title: Re: Metro RP (Closed)
Post by: Drakeyboy on July 28, 2015, 12:41:55 AM
Alina nodded and followed Aleck to the seat. She didn't really want to leave his side yet because she didn't like anyone else yet with them either being loud or mean. She sat down quietly hands hidden in her sleeves while staring into the fire. The warmth was nice,  better than most areas in the orphanage.

Angder listens intently. Watching the flames dance, and the light playing on the walls. "Yea I want to know to. This sounds like something actually interesting, rather than Grampa's ghost stories." Angder nudges Alek lightly with his elbow, grinning playfully.

"It's complicated..." Foma said, smirking "so complicated, that, in fact... you need to pay us...oh, twenty bullets." Foma chuckled, figuring that his brother was most likely giving him a dirty stare

  Kazbek playfully shoved his brother’s shoulder before he leaned in closer and started to speak to the small group as they sat around the fire,
 
“Well, if it’s a story you want… A long, long time before the war began, before the bombs fell from the sky and forced the survivors deep below the surface. There was a Mausoleum built in Red Square, it housed the remains of one Vladimir Ilyich  Ulyanov, otherwise known as Lenin, first leader of the Soviet Union, hero of the masses and saviour of the proletariat, Blah, blah, blah….” The canine laughed as he recalled listening to the propaganda from the Red Line stations.
 
“Anyway, the mausoleum housed many artifacts, including a journal kept by the man himself… Obviously, this is a very, very important artifact to the communists in the Red Line, just like the holy grail was to the Christians. But they were never able to get to it due to the lethal levels of radiation surrounding the building. Every single team they sent up over the past 20 years disappeared or died before they found the journal. Although… a few weeks ago they sent a large team up to the surface with radiation suits and by some miracle they made it into the mausoleum alive and retrieved the journal from the building.
 
But as our triumphant heroes escaped with their precious little book, they emerged to find themselves surrounded by a Reich stalker patrol… You see the Nazis had heard about the expedition from their spies in the Red Line and wanted to keep the book in order to destroy it. A fierce battle between the most elite, battle hardened warriors of the Communist and Nazi stations soon followed…”
 
Kazbek paused as he picked up a dead rat from the floor by it’s tail and tossed it into the flames.
 
“They fought like feral animals when they ran out of ammunition, beating each other with their empty rifles, stabbing with bayonets and even strangling each other with their bare hands. Apparently, one Commie bit the tail off one of the Nazis with his own teeth as they fought on the ice!
 
Anyway, all but 3 soldiers died. The lone surviving Communist took the journal and ran off with it towards the Red line… but he never made it home… We know that somewhere along the way he hid the journal in an old bunker and died before it could be retrieved”
 
“What bullshit! How do you know all of this if you weren’t there?” on of the unnamed guards called from behind the barricade
 
“The 2 surviving Nazis followed him but were later captured by one of our Patrols from Polis. And after a little…Persuasion” Kazbek grinned as he threw two fake punches into the air in front of him like a boxer. “They told us everything we wanted to know… the rest of it you can guess, Polis command sends us down to the red line to gather intel and find the bunker that holds the journal. As you can see, that plan didn’t work out very well.”
 
Kazbek took a breath and reclined back against the sandbags.
 
“Any other questions?”

Aleksander slouches a second as he tries to process all the information he's just been told. He tapped his index fingers against each other as he thought on it. "That's...A lot to take in. I''m not too sure what this could really mean, besides maybe more war. What do you really want with it? Won't taking it draw unneeded towards Polis? I thought you wanted to avoid pissing off the Reds too much." He continues to think, eventually what Angder said about his alleged ghost stories sank in. "I'll have you know child that the tales about the Dark Ones are most likely true. I'm telling you, it's not long before it's a big problem if they are, yet you dismiss it as a children's tale. You kids these days...make me feel old." He stayed slouched, basking in the warmth of the fire.


A rat scuttled past Alina and headed towards the station, not really all that strange a sight given how poor the station is. The station was completely quiet. Everyone was asleep and the rat was completely left to it's own devices. If the clock inside the station was to be believed a couple hours had passed and it was now very early in the morning. The silence from the station was almost deafening during brief moments of quiet, like it was alive and had some sort of malicious intent that no man could truly guess. It just felt...wrong somehow.

Angder leans back. he glances back at the station. Bloody stupid place, he heard some people found the silent station creepy or disturbing at night. He never thought anything of the sort. People always talk about ghosts and monsters, but all he had seen were a few mutants, and the occasional evidence of the Nazis or communists. "Keep telling yourself that Alek. I will believe it when I see it."

"Now this talk of books and stuff. that I can actually believe." Angder looks over at Kazbek. "So... things went badly? what are you going to do now."

'There is no time to report back to Polis or the Rangers. We must do the only thing we can do. And that is to find that book and bring it to Polis, if that is not possible then we must destroy the threat by any means necessary." Kazbek replied quickly, "...Now, i'm no fan of burning literature but we cannot afford to let it fall into Red hands, it would be a disaster."

Kazbek held out his hands in front of the fire and tried to warm them, "However, as we have found out, the reds are also looking for the book, and getting to it will require more firepower and skill than just my brother and I... Now, you may not think that this mission affects you but if the Reds launch an attack The Commonwealth stations WILL be their first target"

Kazbek paused for a moment and tried to choose his words carefully, this wasn't an easy question to ask...

"We...We cannot do this mission alone... please, for the sake of the Metro, come with us and help us!"

Foma didn't want to accept it, so he opened his mouth, as if to speak. He quickly realized his brother was right. even with their fancy training and gear, they needed help. So the Stalker closed his mouth, muttering something.
"Right... anyone who wants to join us, and is of age..." He took a brief moment to shoot the child a look "Can join us. Of course, He, or she, will need a gas mask. Which we cannot provide to you, sadly. And we will also divvy up any loot we find equally, and if it cannot be done so, We will sell it at a station and then divvy up the bullets gained from such an action. Of course, me and my brother will be prioritizing any books or items of culture found, as we can make a profit off of those and you, most likely, cannot."

Alina wasn't really focused on the tall people speaking at first but then she heard about the fight she was captivated. If you were to look at her it would look like she was exited about the story. And when she heard that they we're going to need help she almost jumped out of her seat. She didn't understand what "of age" was. Finally she could go out and have some fun. "I wanna' come! It sounds like fun!" She said exited to finally leave.

Aleksander did not want to go to find this book. He glanced over and the child and shook his head. "You could not go. You are just a child, regardless of what you've done here tonight." He sighed. "Adventure is not all it is cracked up to be, it is not for everyone." He glanced at Angder as he said that, trying to let him know that those words were directed at him and were a hint to tell him to not go as well.

Angder smirks, he got the message, and ignored it. "I am on board, I have a spare gasmask... will have to check its airtight though."

Angder looks over at Aleksander. "You can stay behind if ya want Grampa!"

Alina puffed up in anger. She really wanted to go and leave the smelly station. "I'm not scared of the tunnels i walked here all alone and killed a lot of bad monsters." She said frustrated wondering why no one belived her. She too had a gas mask and other assorted necessary traveling things in her box.

"Kid..." the ranger sighed, looking to Alina "You have no idea what's up there. It's just plain not fit for a child. I don't give a rat's ass how good with a Mak you are, you're just a child. and that's not even starting to mention the objections that I have, from a purely moral standpoint... So, I refuse to take you along."
Foma let out a low yawn, rubbing his eyes as he shifted slightly, clutching his fancy kalash with a laser sight and plastic parts. It looked like it was worth more than each and every kalash here (sans maybe his brother's), combined.

"Foma, trust me, she could be useful" Kazbek explained with an exasperated sigh and started taking off his bulletproof vest. He started attaching the magazines and other equipment to his belt. "We need all hands on deck for this mission, no questions asked"

The canine pushed the vest across the floor to Alina, "If you're going with us you're taking this, it's heavy but it should protect you from just about anything"

Every minute we spend here is another opportunity for someone else to find that book and take it, everyone grab your gear and form up, we'll leave as soon as you're ready"

(OOC: If anyone else is interested in keeping this going I'd say we should just start already on the surface)
