<CPT Wolfe exclaims "What tha hell ?!?! Cutter, did you see anything?"
"Rattler 1, what was that noise? Over!">
CPT Wolfe turns towards the prisoner and says ""Let's go you!!!! MOVE YO BUTT!!" He then takes up
a good position to cover Cutter and the prisoner, and occasionally checking his 6.
The prisoner takes cover in such a manner not to get filled full of holes, he obviously doesn't want to die yet.
SSG Martinez looks up at CPT Cappanetti and says "should I go check it out? If so, I'll give the area a wide
berth...since you have the Mk19."

<SGM Stewart drags his prisoner into a covered and concealed location, then waits for anyone to investigate
the ruckus.>
SGM Stewart continues to hold tight, waiting for someone to come investigate.

<CPT Lee and Josef follow SFC Ikeman, when they arrive, Lee motions to Josef, "Get Ikeman a beer or something.
He's been on the road for the last two weeks."
Lee also questions Josef about the marauders "Are these guys coming back? How many mortars? Any other heavy
weapons?"
Josef says "I doubt that the marauders will return with all the soviets in the area. They had at least 2 or
3 mortars, that or they were real good with them. The marauders had several machineguns, but didn't fire them.">
Jerry drops his ruck but only unbuckles his load bearing vest. Still
holding the carbine he quickly glances the room over.
Looking back to CPT Lee: "Sir, we don't have a lot of options but
west. I don't know if the Soviet drive is heading for Germany, but that
is our best bet for finding our front lines. We'll have to get our
hands on some food and med supplies though. I have plenty of ammo for
my rifle. Is this the only town in the area?"
CPT Lee responds "Thats a good question Sergeant, perhaps Josef can fill us in on local information. I'm sure
this town can spare some supplies as well." Lee waits for Josef's response.
Lee then turns to Ikeman, "The only concern I have about heading west is that most of the Soviets are concentrated
along the German-Polish border. We can wait until things quiet down a bit then head west."
"I'm wondering what our Danish friend is thinking." Lee then looks at Van
Clete.
Josef says "the nearest town of any size, other than a few villages smaller than ours, is Ostrow. I have no
idea what the situation in Ostrow is, as I have not sent my scouts that far north in over a week. Ostrow is about
20 km to the North, Northeast. As for supplies, I'm sure something can be arranged..."as he looks at SFC Ikeman's
equipment.

<SFC Kartz crouches and takes up a position behind his cart, pulling his
shotgun with his left hand and his pistol in his right. Trying to be as
quiet as his 49 year old ass will let him he waits.......>
SFC Kartz calls out in German.."Come out with your hands up, I have you in my sights and while I am a soldier
I feel particularly giving, if you surrender now we will enjoy some strong shnapps, and some Knackwurst."
<CPT Whitedog lays his horse down, trying to make the smallest target possible while he looks for the horse
that snorted.>
CPT Whitedog ties his horse to a tree branch, then moves eastward, turns north, then moves back towards where he
heard the horse.
As he moves north, he hears something called out...sounds like german to him, but he's not sure. Moving more cautiously,
he heads towards the voice. He scans the woods, looking for the person that called out, but fails to see anything.
After several more minutes of sneaking, he spots several horses, but no people.
