The Arctic Ocean is the smallest, coldest, and shallowest of the world's oceanic divisions; and is located in the Northern Hemisphere. The majority of the surrounding areas remain abandoned, and uninhabited by the infected. Due to the low concentration of inhabitants in the area, it was mostly unaffected at the time of the original outbreak. The harsh environmental conditions make for a less-than desirable habitat for any warm-blooded creature.

[John, Vick and Maggie enter the Artic Ocean from Alert Air base]
Maggie could barely hear the jawing going on back there. She smiled as she sharpely banked left and then right.
"Sorry about that", she shouted back toward the passenger area. "Just had to pass an X-Wing Fighter. Those things are sooo slow."
She knew that they couldn't see her grin, but there was a mischevious tone in her voice. Then she leveled out the plane and put them on a straight course out over the Artic Ocean, toward the last known location of the Albatross.
It would only take an hour or so get to the coordinates if the storm behind them didn't totally ruin the mission. The frozen ground gave way to frozen water. Since it was all covered by snow, there really was no difference. Stretching out to the horizon was just whiteness... as far as the eye could see.
"Hey, we are about 90 minutes out to the ship. Get ready cuz we could be going in hot."
Maggie put the plane on autopilot, but she didn't dare leave the cockpit with the ability of the weather to turn on a dime. So to pass the time, she began to get her cold weather gear on and check her weapons again... rifle, sidearm, backup... and then reverse it, backup, sidearm, and rifle. It was habit to check and recheck her weapons.
(ooc - skipping ahead a bit)
== 80 minutes later ==
Maggie looked at the timer and then stretched, resuming control of the plane again.
"Ten minutes out boys! Get Ready!" she yelled back at them over the din of the engine.
She peered through her windows... and that is when she saw it. It was black against the white background, but she was sure of its design... she had flown one before.
"We have company ahead of us, heading toward the ship. I can just make it out... it's a Blackhawk."
Maggie got on the radio and began to report back to the base that they had reached the ship and that there was a helo in the area.
All she got back was static.

(Gentlemen ,please allow me to introduce myself)
"Doctor Edwards we have the plane in sight,what are your orders?"
"Fire at will,take that plane down!If you come back and any of them are after you that Tyrant will break you in two before they even get to open fire!"
The pilot looked to his co,then back to the plane ahead of them.
"You heard the man."With that they opened fire with both of their mini-guns peppering the small plane with 7.62mm projectiles.
****************************************************
Dr.Edwards turned to see the seven foot tall shadow of Dr.Charles Hammer's personal Tyrant Sinistra.The good doctor sent the guardian to the ship to make sure there was no upheavals.More recently the Mini-Gun wielding monster followed Dr.Edwards closely seldom allowing his gaze to come of the man.Sinistra wheezed and moved his arm towards the door,Dr.Edwards quickly moved through it.
They found themselves at the Submarine Bay,where an old but operational Umbrella special ops Sub lay.It was their escape plan,which might have to take effect if the blackhawk couldn't get the job done...and there were too many for Sinistra to handle effectively.The only reason Dr.Edwards was still alive,or so he believed,was because Sinistra wasn't smart enough to transfer the data of the doctors research to where Hammer was.It had to be physically taken to Hammer,sending it by line was too risky...something they had already done far too much which is what brought their new visitors.

"EVASIVE MANUVERS NOW!!" John shouted while grabbing for his assault rifle, seeing the black hawk turning towards them, he had noticed they had 2 m134 gatling guns in the doors facing forwards.
just as he got his hands on his rifle, the bullets started flying.
the windshield had obviously been replaced by a bullet resistant resin when the BSAA had got its hands on it, they had also refitted the outer skin with lightweight armour. but it wouldnt survive long against the storm of metal that was being unleashed on it by twin gatlings.
"Vick, I hope you brought something that can send those bastards to hell!"

Vick stepped up and reached over the gear pulling down his grenade launcher. From his bag he pulled out a barrel extention and removed a sticky-bomb from the various grenades he had brought. "This should do the trick. He then squeezed his way into the cargo hold and unlatched the small window sized door they had used to load their gear. "Pull up on their right and I'll light him up!" He then began basic arching calculations in his head taking into account wind-speed and distance.

As the helo opened fire on the plane, Maggie immediately banked right and down, away from the path of the helo. She swore to herself and she struggle to keep the plane in the air and from going into a fatal tailspin.
The helo was more manueverable, quicker and armed... that meant that this dual was only going to end badly for the plane. Bullets pinged off the reinforced armor and shot over the plane. One round actually lodged in the window just above her head, causing her to flinch.
She pulled back up and push the throttle forward, leveling out the plane and shooting away from the helo.
"Pull up on their right and I'll light him up!" Maggie heard come back from the cargo area. She had no idea what they had planned, but if they had anything it was alot better than her idea of ramming the helo.
"WILL DO!" she screamed back and then banked the plane around to bring it up to aft of the helo, who was having issues with cross wind.
In fact, they would all have trouble with the wind in a few minutes, as a wall of white was heading quickly into their direction. With a sinking feeling, Maggie tried the radio again... but again there was only static.
She would worry about that later if they survived. The helo had finally recovered from the buffeting of the wind... how ever it had stopped all forward momentum as Maggie passed with 50 yards of it. She knew that it was dangerous. They would be passing in front of the nose of the helo and if their plan didn't succeed, then the helo would have them dead in their sights for another barrage.

The pilots followed the small plane with their eyes.In an attempt to turn their guns on the plane again they were hit with the wind.One pilot saw the on-coming storm and signaled to the other.
"Get the RPG from back,we don't have time for this dog fight."
With that the right side pilot quickly got up and went into the center of the helo.He popped open a case and grabbed the rocket launcher that sat in it,he snatched a projectile and loaded it.The other pilot managed to fight off the wind and stared in disbelief as the plane crossed his nose,he didn't hesitate to open fire on the less armored side of the small craft.The plane got by,and again the pilot was amazed to see the door sliding open.He seemed to have hit the plane good though in it's crossing.
"FIRE YOU IDIOT!"The pilot yelled to the shooter,who by this time saw the man across from him like slow motion.He lifted the RPG but it was too late....
******************************************************
"Oh dear god."
The doctor watched from the sub-hangar on a small screen.The ship was alive with what little personnel there was,the path to the sub-hangar was heavily guarded with all the security on the ship.The researchers and assistants were destroying the files on the computers and the assistants were setting fire to print outs.There weren't that many researchers on the ship which made the next part easy.The doctor walked out into the hallway as the mob came on,he stood at one end and the researchers were running down another.
They all knew there was not enough room on the submarine for them all.Doctor Edwards gave the word and the men opened fire,the scientist went down in less than a minute.Nobody on the ship except Dr.Edwards was actually connected to Tricell,and that connection would be severed if he didn't escape.
Sinistra had marched onto the main platform of the ship and watched the dogfight pan out.He was under orders from Dr.Hammer and was recommended by Dr.Edwards to open fire on the plane should the Helo fail to destroy it.His goggled locked onto the quick contraption and opened fire on the underside of the already hit plane.With the same caliber weapon as the helo,the plane would crash soon and hopefully the pilot would make the mistake of landing in the water.He stood and watched as he fired,the Submarine would not be leaving without him.

While he was loading his assault rifle and its shotgun attackment, john felt the plane bank.
As he looked out the window, he saw a large figure on the ice.
He watched as the figure looked up. "Armed tyrant below, and he's mad at being so ugly."
Thats when the tyrant pointed a m134 at the plane and pulled the trigger.

OFC = yeah, I think its like the tyrant opened fire on the plane before your guy got off the grenade, so that the helo would have a second shot at blowing the plane up, so it can go back to the sub.

The plane was now constatly buckling and shaking but Vick kept his aim even after a metal rod plunged into his thigh. The launcher to him was basically the same as a US Sniper firing a BB Gun. He thought back to the many months he tracked through the tundra to turn arctic oil pumps into a giant crater. Controlling his breathing he kept the launcher steady so that it would buckle along with the plane so all he had to do is wait until the target was lined up. As bullet holes began to appear on the floor around him he saw the sweet spot and instantly pulled the trigger as a natural reflex action and soon the projectile was soaring towards the helecopter. Looking down he saw the sub and the many peple who had opened fire. In responce to this he pulled out a plastic explosive and detonator switch and was quick to send the bomb downwards to the emerged sub preparing for contact so he could flip the switch. His whole body was on edge and eager.

OOC:Wait a minute,i don't expect either of you to alter your previous post but i need to make this clear.One,the submarine cannot be seen from the sky,it is inside of the ship.Two,the helo is pretty much blown to hell from jazz's attack.Three,your plane should be going down now from the Tyrant's fire from underneath,but you can still attack him.It would be best to wait for rhinn since he's flying the plane.

OOC: The reason I threw it down was cause bullets were coming up from the floor. Doesn't matter if he saw something or not.

OOC - Sorry, work is kicking my butt with projects so I'm dead at home and not wanting to look at the computer for very long.
IC - Maggie waited for what felt like days as she pulled the plan across the path of the helo. She knew that Vick had something heavy to handle the helo. She was waiting for a report of what the result was.
Which was when the bottom of the plane was riddled with bullets. Only the extra armor they had placed in the belly protected the agents.
But it did nothing for engine of the plane. The engine was nailed as she tried to bank away from the attack from the ground, but she wasn't quick enough. Smoke and fire spewed from the engine. Maggie quickly worked to shut it down and cut off the gas to the engine so the fire would crawl back up the line to the tank and blow them all to hell.
"HANG ON, WE'RE HIT. WE'RE GOING DOWN!"
Maggie wrestled the controls of the plane like a bull rider wrestles with control of the bull. And she was going to lose.
"DAMN IT... TWO MISSIONS, TWO DOWN CRAFT! I HATE THESE GUYS!"
The plane bucked again and Maggie was able to pull back on the controls and keep it level for just a few seconds. Looking around, she noticed that there as a small patch of frozen sea, but not long enough to land... but maybe.
"GET TO THE SNOWMOBILES AND GET THEM STARTED", she yelled back at Vick and John. "WE ARE GOING TO EXIT THE PLANE IN A HURRY. I'LL TAKE THE REAR ONE."
Her idea was simple... take the plane down and then drive the snowmobiles out of the cargo area when the plane was 5 feet off the ground. It should hopefully put them out of the blast radius of the plane.
As the plane neared the ground, she locked the control in and slow the plane down to just stay in the air. Then she ran for the cargo area in the back of the plane to hop on her snowmobile.

OOC - ... i thought the plane was a single engine, thats what the picture you provided displayed. ill change my post if needed.
IC - when john looked out front, he cursed "murphy's law's a b***h". the engine wasn't the only thing torn apart. the ailerons had been shot to hell, degrading the planes banking ability. a quick glance at the rudder was all he needed to that their problems were increasing fast.
hydrolic fluid was leaking from the rudder, which meant that in maybe 1 to 2 minutes there was no way to turn the plane around using yaw.
he felt the plane going down, Maggies shouting was also indicative.
he quickly donned his helmet and checked his weapons and their loadouts. 'Austeyr carbine with 100 round C-mag. shotgun with 8 round box mag, para-ordnance p14-45 with standard 14 round mag. after checking his weapons he put on his backpack.
"GET TO THE SNOWMOBILES AND GET THEM STARTED. WE ARE GOING TO EXIT THE PLANE IN A HURRY. I'LL TAKE THE REAR ONE."
John looked out the windscreen and grasped her plan immediatly. "YOUR THE BOSS," he yelled back in reply. moving for the compact snow mobiles in the rear of the plane. "I'LL TAKE THE FRONT. VICK ..." As he turned to adress him, he saw the pipe for the first time. "MAGGIE, VICK's BEEN HIT!"
