Vick looked at John as he covered his wound. "Don't get excited I'll maintain." He then headed to the back of the plane where he found the snowmobiles and began bringing them to life one by one.

Sinistra glared up at the seemingly crashing plane.To the normal human eye his mission would seem to have been successful,it was not.His goggles could see heat signatures rising in the rear of the plane,machines.He revved up his Mini-Gun once again and tried to concentrate fire on the rear of the diving plane non stop for about thirty seconds.Then he moved surprisingly rapidly up a set of stairs,having to duck all the way up into the bridge.
When he got there,the captain already in the sub,he pushed the control full throttle.He still had very good reasoning skills,they were kept with the transformation.Dr.Hammer also had access to his body along with visuals and audio.This got the rotors going with what fuel was left in the massive ship,that plane would attempt to land and it's inhabitants would try to board the ship.The moving fortress would break up the ice and make it harder for them to do so,hopefully by the time the plane crashed the ice would be sufficiently broken and the sub would be on it's way.
Unfortunately,the rocket that had been fired from the damned plane had a greater,if accidental,effect on the ship.The blast had damaged the fuel tank some how and the ship would not be moving too far,it would move...but not far enough to satisfy it's controllers.This revelation angered Hammer and therefore Sinistra,he smashed the lever with one strong swipe.The Beast walked out to the balcony,stepping over the railing and crashing down to the main deck.He stepped out of the dent and towards the stair case that led to the sub,the reasoning did not go as far as it should have.By now the self destruct sequence of the ship would have been initiated if Sinistra had been on board the sub as planned...it was too late for that now.
Whatever information could be salvaged by the in coming team would be,attempts will be made to cover it up but who knows.Neither Dr.Hammer or Edwards were sure if the location of the meeting point was on board the ship,but if it was it would need to be searched for.Sinistra made it to the sub den,his presence sending the remaining guards back up to the main deck where they would wait and see if the plane crashed or if the inhabitants survived.The Beast boarded the sub and it was sealed,within a few minutes it dived and was en route to meet Dr.Charles Hammer.

Maggie came running out of the cockpit as fast as she could. The bouncing of the plane and it continued to descend towards the ground threw her into the side of the plane. She swore and kept running, making it down to the cargo area where all the snowmobiles were ready to go. She jumped on the last one and gunned it. She had been mentally counting down the time they had left. She was at 15 seconds.
“GO! GO! GO!”, she yelled, gunning her own ride forward. She figured that they were some where between 20 and 30 feet off the ground and hoped that the snow would soften their landing.
As the three snowmobiles lept from the back of the strickened plane, Maggie felt a moment of freefall as they were launched groundward. She braced for the impact and wasn’t disappointed as the landing felt like she had run into a brick wall. Still, they had to get away from the plane and she gunned the engine putting more distance between her and the plane. In her mind, she counted down to zero. Behind them, the plane rammed into the ground. The gas tank split and a spark from the twisting metal ignited it into a fireball. The explosion consumed the plane quickly and sent a shockwave and debris towards them. Fortunately, they were far enough away that Maggie, being at the end of the group was only pelted with small superheated shards of metal. She could feel them burn through her jacket, but it didn’t make to her skin.
She stopped her snowmobile and looked back and sighed. “Damn it. They are going to take away my flight status.” Then she looked towards the ship. It was moving slowly, not fast enough to outrun the snowmobiles. But that’s when she heard the ice cracking.
“We approach the ship from the front where the ice is still thick. If it tries to turn, we manuever to stay in front of it… and we pray that whatever shot us down isn’t on it. Let’s go.”

John heard maggie's idea, nodding to it.
"Alright but this seems fishy, Intel said the Tripoli was stuck. if they wanted privacy all they had to do was stay in the pacific away from the main shipping routes."

OOC: Everything is moving kinda fast for me so I'm not exactly sure what the next move is. Could you pass me up till I know what's expected as far as the next move is concerned? I don't feel capable of leading the charge of snowmobiles mid flight onto the ice.

OOC:No problem,i'll try and throw a couple of goons at you all on their own snow mobiles.There are usually stairs on the sides of ships like this though so one of you could go up that way.
The Sub-Marine was a good piece away from the ship now when it came to a slow halt.This had to be done in order to communicate with Dr.Hammer,it posed no threat however since they were safe.Dr.Edwards moved over to the screen,the image was fuzzy due to their depth and distance.The Tricell scientist did not look pleased,but he never really did until things were done with.
"Status report Edwards."
"Everything is going as planned,we had to speed things up a little but we have the stats we need.I believe we have achieved a virus that can withstand freezing temperatures,but you can see for yourself when we make it to land."Dr.Edwards said trying not to shake or stutter.
The Sub-Marine was very cold,but that's not all that would cause a stutter and shake.The massive Sinistra was standing so close behind him that Dr.Hammer could see him in the shot,he was the image of success to Hammer.
"Proceed,go full speed if the security team does not eliminate those pest you need to be as far away as possible if they find anything.Deniability is everything in this line of business doctor.Hammer out."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Captain,we have three bogies going for the head of the ship on snow mobiles."
"Get on the side and try to blast them off the ice!We will cover you from up here."Said the bearded captain of the now small security team.
One of the men ran over to a gap in the low wall,then sped down to the landing platform of the metal staircase.He was towing a cylinder style grenade launcher with him,brushing off some ice caused by the moving ship he aimed...and prepared to fire.

they were speeding towards the front of the ship when he heard a very distinctive whistling sound.
" INCOMING!!" an explosion shot ice up from 3 meters in front of him, John ducked his head to avoid the shards.
"STAGGERED FORMATION! DON'T GIVE THEM A GOOD TARGET!"

Vick swerved and glided over the bare ice patches as the projectiles bombarded them. He couldn't help but smile. "If you want to bring me down don't choose my weapon of choice." With that said he drew his own loaded cannon and aimed carefully as he took the lead. "Follow me fella's." Finding the proper angle factoring in line of sight and speed he fired a round into a large mound of powder. The moment it exploded, snow blasted every which way hiding the team in a thick white mist of scattered powder. "Stay in the cloud!"

John looked around, impressed by Vick's quick thinking. but he knew it wouldn't last. the grenadier would simply fire into the cloud and might get lucky. they needed to neutralize him now.
as he thought of that, explosions racked the ice near them in the cloud, one went off 2 meters off his 1 o'clock.
Shards of Ice carved small cuts on his face, 2 on his left cheek, 3 on his right and one on his lower lip. several impacted on his glasses, scratching the lense so that he couldn't see, while others just cut at his cloths.
John threw off the goggles, feeling the blood on his face begining to freeze while it flowed down his face.

Maggie was now at the back of the formation. She struggled with her snowmobile, it having been damaged in the rough landing from the plane. Now the front left stabilizer was cracked and every time she turned right and put pressure on it, it threatened to dig in the snow and flip her. Due to that, she was hanging her ass low off the right side to pull the weight away from the left side.
The ship was still trying to turn but it had hit a fairly thick shelf of ice and had nearly ground to a stop…
That’s when the grenades started to rain down on them. They juked this way and that, for the most part, but they were still heading in the same direction. Vick fired off one of his grenades, forming a cloud barrier in between them and the ship. It would just give them a little bit of visual cover, but hopefully that was enough.
And as with all things on this mission, it wasn’t. A grenade exploded in close proximity of John and he took a face full of ice shards. Maggie could just barely see it, but there was a blood splatter on the white snow, indicating that he was hurt.
She also noticed that ice beneath them was cracking. The grenades were weakening the ice, causing it to break up. Now she knew that their wild aim was really an attempt to delay them until they could break the ice. If it collapsed complete, the ship would sail on, but the three of them would sink to the bottom of the Artic Ocean.
“GO FOR THE STAIRS!” She yelled pointing at the walkway that was extended down onto the ice. “VICK, aim one your grenades at the bow of the ship. If we put a hole in it, then we can keep it here!”
Gunning the engine of her damaged snowmobile, she leapt out in front of the others. By now, her butt was hanging off the back and the front end was totally up in the air. Small arms fire richoceted off the underside of her snowmobile and then she gunned the engine. It lurched forward and her position caused her to lose grip on it. She fell off the back and rolled to her right, coming up on her knees with her carbine in her hands. The snowmobile slammed into one of the guys lobbing grenades at them and crushed his body. As much as she could, Maggie ran toward the stairs, firing at anything that popped its head over the railing.

"Captain they're coming up!"
The captain veered back and ran for the door leading to the bridge and what would be the remnants of the research.Five others followed while two moved back and got behind a barrel or whatever they found and covered the retreat.
"Seal the door,i'm getting on the machine gun.Jeff grab one of those RPG's shoot the first one you see pop up from the stairs!If we don't kill at least one I'm going to be very ****ed off.Robert and Greg,you go and guard the entrance to the research and sub deck...if they make it to you your the last line.Good luck,it's been a pleasure serving with you boys."
Usually in the business the hired guns didn't show emotion,but being on a ship as long as they have...attachments grow.The Captain ran up the stairs dropping everything but his sidearm to get to the .50 cal on top of the bridge of the ship.Jeff had yet to take position with the RPG and one of the guys on the ground level was dead.The captain opened fire on the person who came up the stairs first,in an attempt to put them behind cover until Jeff could blast them.He swiveled to the right and fired wildly in an attempt to kill the big one that was trying to blow a piece of the ship up.
OOC:7 npc's to kill.One RPG,One .50 cal at top,2 somewhere inside,one on ground level,2 guarding where you want to be.Let's say Ump wielding.

"You want a hole in a ship you need more than a bang." With that he sped up running parallel with the ship. Once gaining some distance he slid to a stop turning into the ships path. Vick pulled two of his specialty rounds from his pack, both rigged with a turn-able timer. Judging the distance and the speed of the snowmobile he twisted the rounds to the proper time, activated them and tossed them into the small storage area. He was now literally riding a rocket. Not wasting any time he gunned the engine on an intercept course with the ship.
Tearing the safety chord off he tied the throttle to the steering column so it would fly straight and true without his help. Grabbing his gear off the back he threw the pack over his shoulder and readied his pistol. First he stabled himself by standing on the seat. Next placed one foot on the top of the hood. Vicky smiled and started laughing like some cartoon super villain as he was now only yards away. His timing was near perfect. The snowmobile was on a crash course with the side of the ship and when he was only five yards away he jumped for the ship. With a failed landing, Vick tumbled behind the closest cover as the snowmobile smashed into the ship, the following explosion provided some temporary heat which he welcomed. Using the smoke as cover he ran recklessly towards his new found enemies ready to draw blood.

John watched the explosion as he gunned his snowmobile, putting it to maximum speed. the stairs shot towards him as he prepared to jump.
he leapt, timing it perfectly, he grabbed the rail and steadied himself. quickly shouldering his F88, he double timed it up the stairs, scanning the area.
