Battle of Base Duff

Pelican
Tara-21 found herself in a daring situation. She was in a Pelican, thousands upon thousands upon feet in the air, clinging to her life, and in the middle of a war. The deafening sound of gunfire and explosives were silenced by earsplitting hissing.

She propped her body up with her elbows, and looked outside a severely cracked window. It was only a second before she was blinded by the sight of an explosion inside the Pelican. Weightless was the only thing she could feel, fire was the only thing she could see, and blood was the only thing she could smell. Suddenly, there was nothing.

Gabriel
"Rick! Make it quick" Gabriel-74 called. Base Duff was under attack, and the casualty count was beginning to skyrocket. Gabriel provided cover fire for Gunnery Sergeant Rick Dunlap, who was risking his life for a fellow Marine.

Rick picked up the injured man, and dashed across the field, carrying his broken body. "Gabriel! Behind me!" Rick cried unto Gabriel. Two Kig-Yar jumped over an ammo supply crate and immediately opened fire upon Rick and the injured man. Gabriel only saw what was left of Rick before he could respond.
