matt: it's a deathclaw *he states matter-of-factly, as if that says it all, then eeps and ducks behind the sandbags again as the wounded reptile starts charging for nate again, who empties the rest of his ammo into the thing, the impacts actually staggering it this time, and it is definitely slower than it used to be - and then suddenly, a multitude of laser blasts start hitting the deathclaw, preston, sturges and the long siblings on top of the roof and cranking their laser muskets for all they're worth*
preston: you, behind the sandbags - catch! *he tosses the musket nate set aside when he entered the power armor and the lycan stands up to catch it, cranking a charge into it and turning to fire at the deathclaw as well, which is being staggered badly by the laser blasts which seem to be having a far greater effect than the bullets did, though it still reaches nate - only to be met with a massive slug to the snout from an armored fist, a sickening crack heard as the force snaps the creature's spine and it finally slumps down, dead*

matt: go walk over and poke it with a stick...see if it moves
SS: *nudges the corpse with his armored foot* it seems to be dead...but just to be sure *he glances over at matt* toss me that machete you were carrying
matt: you know this thing isn't sharp enough to puncture through that thing's chest, to say nothing of its ribcage? *he asks as he tosses the machete over*
SS: oh, i have no intention of stabbing it through the heart *he raises the blade high, then he brings it down hard on the deathclaw's neck, the armor-enhanced swing slicing clean through the weaker hide at its neck*

matt: ever eaten a jackson chameleon? that's what this thing was engineered from, courtesy of the US military
SS: what, what? the US GOVERNMENT created these things? i thought they were mutations caused by radiation, like everything else we've encountered so far
matt: nope, deathclaws are pre-war, as are supermutants - both created to 'protect american freedom' and 'fight evil communism'...all the while, they were experimenting on their own people, political prisoners, chinese POWs, anti-war protestors - you name a group, some corporation or another, with full blessings from the government, was experimenting on them
SS: *sighs* jesus...the more i hear, the more i think my entire life was spent fighting for the wrong side
matt: it's never easy hearing everything you've fought for is a lie...but the chinese were almost as bad, so your fights against them weren't a TOTAL waste
SS: *very sarcastically* thanks, that means all the world to me...wait, what's a supermutant?
matt: trust me, you REALLY don't want to know...but you'll probably end up finding out sooner or later - while the ones on the east coast are a lot rarer - and dumber - than the west coast ones, i'm sure a few have probably wandered up as far as massachusettes from the capitol wasteland

matt: bear would be a yao guai - but after you see one, i'm not sure you'd be willing to eat its meat (hur hur) and deer...i think they went extinct like horses did, because dad never saw one

Krystal: I've been pretty much buried by everyone wanting my attention until now. Glad you could make it though Alex. Please have a seat. We need to discuss some stuff about the current situation and what to do about it.
well, i've been reviewing reports of the fight, both at DS3 and the portal, trying to spot areas that need serious improvement...i lost so many ships at that battle it's not even funny
*nate is currently wrapping up the deathclaw's hands and storing them in a pack he nicked from somewhere, having stepped out of the armor for the moment, and matt is carefully skinning the deathclaw with nick's help, setting the hide off to the side when he's done and starting in on the meat*

Rose picks up Alexis: Well, you are the great Auntie ReiRei. I was wondering if they would freeze at the question. Sometimes the older kids will, as they wondering if its a trick question. She's got a little of your stregth. Has any of the urges come to them yet?
******
RAdm Rose: They were very aggresive compared to us, so it might be a little cockiness on your forces part. We had the same problem with the SDF early on. Also, smaller ship means not as much can be put on them. Before you go and see if there is a problem with design, I'd look at crew attitudes. After all, your people are related to wolves, and when soemthing runs, they run it down. Maybe into a trap.

Krystal: The main issue right now... is our position here. Apparently we're on the verge of being cut off entirely from any support. That means we'd be stuck here unless we had a cloak, which in turn means we're stranded and can't go rescue Martok. Any warp signatures detected here risks exposing K-13, and in her condition she wouldn't survive an attack. Same with Transwarp Drive. The energy signature would attract attention.
I need options. We only have a few cloak capable ships here.
use the indomitable - she was battered during the fight, but while my chief engineer can't turn rocks into replicators like starfleet engineers can, she knows her TRIBBLE and is already working on patching up the ship as much as can be done without access to a repair facility

RAdm Rose: Kira and me have come up with the immediate problem of getting anything out of here that is not cloaked or dead in the water. (She pulls up a map) As you cna see from the map we are close to the Breen Core worlds. Tzenkethi are not about to start a war with the Breen while they are attacking the Federation. So the tzenkethi are going to be wariy of any funny business with the Breen. We call in a favor from the Breen, and they will escort most of the hurt stuff out of the area, to Ferenginar. Of course, we wont, but it will look like it. WE change the warp signatures of our ships to match Breen configuaration. Tzenkethi wont try to attack whiel the Breen are here.
