Subsequent Fall Part 32.45: Beacon Black

Omaha looked around as it was pitch black around her. Lighting a flare she tossed it on the ground as she saw she was in a cave. Everyone else looked around as she started hearing sounds. "Form up around Jax!" Omaha hoisted up her launchers as she examined the cave and the structure of it.

"Who is letting you make orders?" Mississippi questioned with a harsh tone as Jax jabbed her in the ribs lightly with his elbow.

"Utah, do you have sonic scouting drones?" Jax asked as Utah pulled them from his side. Omaha set down one of her launchers as she prepared to open fire with her smg. Looking into the darkness something was brewing. Utah tossed out four drones as they moved faster than their eyes could track.

"Once we find the exit we start blowing the path behind us, why a cave?" Jax looked around as he something move in the darkness. He pulled his rifle up and opened fire. The shots rung past Omaha as the flashing of the barrel lit the cave. The void creatures were crawling everywhere.

Omaha started opening fire as she lit a second flare. Throwing it deep into the cave as it lit up even more of the cave. These void creatures resembled spiders as they crawled from all over.

Mississippi started opening fire with her machine gun as Utah was using his pistol as the drones were so close. "Omaha, blow up your side!" She lifted one of her launchers and fired a barrage of rockets into the ceiling causing it to cave in as they all ran the other way.

A rock fell on Jax's skull, cracking his helmet. He rubbed the spot as Omaha looked at him, he didn't vanish despite failing the protection notice as his skull was starting to trickle blood. "Stay still." Omaha looked among her paneling and decided she didn't have anything to use.

"How did that happen?" Mississippi looked at the situation as Omaha reached in her armor and ripped off her bra as it would work for the gauze. "Why isn't he gone?"

"It was a non void injury. Therefore, he didn't trigger the sensors that Shiro has in place." Omaha wrapped the bra around his head as it started to soak up his blood.

"Uh, we have a bigger issue." Utah looked up to them as the three drones came back. Fixing themselves on his hip as he looked at the map of the cave. "I fucked up." The three of them were shocked as Omaha wiggled her chestplate a little bit.

"What about the point where it's the least amount of earth between us and the outside world?" Jax felt the padding as he took off his helmet the rest of the way. Looking at the gash in the helmet. The stalactite lay on the ground as Omaha tried to lift it.

"Ah, I see the plan. Let me check." Utah studied the three paths as Omaha hopped in front of him, slashing the creature with her knife as it vanished into smoke.

"Omaha, take point." Jax stumbled for a second as he shook his head, making him dizzy. "Utah, once you find the path blow the others. Mississippi, help me get there and protect me from any of the creatures." 

"Got it." Mississippi hoisted an arm underneath Jax as the two of them took slow steps forward. Omaha's helmet highlighted the void creatures and the movement with the infrared light, every cold spot was a target. Opening fire with the smg she kept them at bay.

"We need to go down the right path till it splits again." Utah saw a point where the soil was only a meter thick to the surface. He started opening fire on the rest of the void creatures as Omaha blew the other two tunnels as they walked up the right tunnel.

"Wait, what cup size are you anyways?" Utah looked over at her as she stood the same height.

Inaudibly she whispered as she seemed kinda shy on the subject. Utah leaned over as he prodded her a little bit as she spoke just the tiniest bit louder. "B."

He was caught off guard by this as he looked back at the bra. It seemed much larger than she needed. "Then why the large bra?" Mississippi looked at the tag as it said double d.

"I want them to be bigger. I never had much passion for looks until after seeing Jaimie and Angel with their chests, it made me feel inadequate." Omaha's voice was quiet. "With my brother always around, I also never really did the feminine things. We did everything together."

"So some of the greatest combatants in the army haven't even gone on dates?" Utah looked over as she slowly nodded yes. "Well, when we win this thing, how about we change that? Double date with us two and those two?"

"It sounds like a lovely time, unwind in a way that doesn't involve combat." Omaha stayed quiet as Jax and Mississippi blushed back behind the two of them. As they continued walking up the tunnel. They killed a handful more of the void creatures as they reached the end.

"Wait, what if we waited out the two days here and on the third day bust out and go nuts?" Jax sat down on the rocky ground as Mississippi helped him to the ground. "Is that a terrible idea?"

"In your state, that would be a good course of action, at least to let us treat the wound." Utah looked down at the wound as Omaha jabbed her blade into the ceiling, creating an air vent for the four of them.

"Speaking of, how are you feeling?" Omaha looked over at Jax as Mississippi undid the bra and saw the bleeding pulsating from the wound. She walked over and looked at it. "Oh."

"What's 'oh' supposed to mean other than bad?" Jax spoke as Omana grabbed his head and twisted it down. She double tapped her thigh pad as a small container with a needle and thread popped out.

"Either I sew the wound close or we cauterize it. What's your choice?" Omaha crouched down as he went to look up as Omaha tilted his head back down.

"How are you going to cauterize it without fire?" Jax asked afraid of whatever answer there was.

"Using one of my rockets. I will light it and not detonate it until after." Omaha smiled as the rest had their faces filled with fear.

"Sew it shut please." Jax asked as he stopped moving. The other two were glad she chose this action. She slowly sewed his wound shut as the other two watched in marvel. She seemed like she did this alot.

Once his wound was closed the group began talking about various different date ideas as they put the makeshift bandage on his head once more. The four of them are eating their rations and working on a sleep rotation. Once they are done eating they play card games that Omaha brought along.

The first night and second day flew by as Jax was feeling slightly better now with less blood loss. Into the second night Omaha worked on rigging the wall to blow during her nightshift with rockets from her launcher. Once the third day began they were ready to ignite it and be on their way to the evacuation point.
