Awesome! growls Peter at the blackout. I smell a rat here.

Will Gusmão fire at the general direction of the sound, hoping for a hit. It´s a slim chance.
A burst of ten bullets will have a 2% to hit per bullet. So, ten rolls with the target 2% will do.
If not he could return inside to the others. The light just went out inside...
This is what I was talking about. It should be back on shortly. She kicks the wall and curses. Always when you least need it, right?
From the second floor, a burst of shots is heard.
Fuck, MvArthur comments.

Jason slings the rifle over his shoulder and runs out again as he passes the threshold he yells over the wind saboteur! im going down there to take a look at the damage!
Mario takes his time to aim right in a very professional way, holding his breath so it doesn't interfere with the aiming.
He opens fire.

Hawkins is hit in the lower back by one of the bursts fired from Station 10. The pain shoots to his brain two seconds after the hit and he falls unconscious. Loosing his grip of the grips, he slumps to the side and slides off of the scooter. Meeting the fast traveling snow and ice beneath him.
Cold eats its way through the hole in his back and the large exit wound in the abdomen.
The speed of the scooter slows down and as the engine dies, the last thought going through Hawkins´ unconscious mind is, Cold.

One hit at HL (First roll): And it´s a critical at that. KIA [Gazza, not even a disabling wounds check would save Hawkins. I only rolled the initial damage (second roll)... There´s yet another d10 waiting to be rolled, but that won´t matter. Thank you for playing.
If you like, you may take over Dimitri Molotov as Pviz is MIA.]

As Gusmão finsihes his burst of shots and removes the rifle from the stairs, Taverner exits the station and storms down the stairs. Through the wind, Mario hears the Scooter vanish in the distance.
Taverner runs to the location where the saboteur was hiding at before he escaped. The couple of hundred meters are covered as fast as he can manage. When he gets there he surveys the situation.
He easily sees the tracks leading from the west to the east. He finds a spot where the spy exited the scooter and observed Station 10. Nothing but the imprints in the snow is to be found.
He can´t hear the sound from the escaping scooter from this location. The wind is blowing heavily and it comes from the west. The tracks to the east are beginning to get over snowed as well as the fresh ones heading east.
Checking the site carefully reveals a structure buried in the snow. It´s a back up generator judging be the labeling of the seal on the hatch leading down. It was buried 20 centimeters down. Probably the shadows showing at the sat picture...
Gusmão fires the last shots and moves away from his firing position as Taverner runs outside. Jason runs towards the location he got from Zajic and the sat picture.
Is anyone tagging along with Taverner?
Ah, Scheisse, havent´t we here the Heli anymore?
I watched all the people handling their guns, rifles and pistols. I was not a good shooter, so better even not try to fire. In fact I wanted to be helpful and I decided to follow to Mr. Taverner. I may be feeling more comfortable away from pistols and bullets.
Yeah, not only penguins to be found in white antarctica. I suspect this mission is not going to be easy.
Zajic comes over to Taverner as he has started digging for what´s below the top layer of the snow by the tracks from the scooter.
The only machine capable of flying the team out of here is the c-130 Hercules. Helena could try to fly it. She is a pilot after all. So she must have flown some kind of plane in her years at flight school, right?
Yeah, I know how to fly the plane, but I am not able to follow our target since it will take some time to put the engine on and I guess it will not be so appropiate. If the heli would be here it would be easier.
Point taken. There are still two snow mobiles ready for use...
please wait, Mr. Taverner.
This station has a pair of snowmobiles. Let's go riding then. It would be faster and easier
I said while started to fit my polar dress.
allthough I never used one before. Did you?
I think is easy task.
Having put on the polar dress sufficiently to keep her warm, Helena finds that Jason has run ahead to the location outside. She finds him examining the tracks from the escaping snow scooter.
Once she´s caught up with him she mentions the snow mobiles.
Jason leaves the warmth of Station 10 behind him to check for the saboteur and is followed by Zajic after she´s got properly dressed. Mittens on!
Gusmão watches the two pass him as he shoulders his rifle.
'We better get back to the station miss' 'Im not an polar expert so i dont want to go after the snowmobile on foot' 'but if we are pursuing we have to go all or nobody, and we better move fast as all this snow will cover the tracks pretty fast'
God dammit we better move fast
Jason and Helena come back from the short run back and forth to the site where the saboteur had been at. From what they report, there seems to be tracks heading east (vanishing fast as they fill with new snow) and a back up generator just under the snow (the dark rectangle on the sat pic).
To sum it up: McArthur and Gusmão fired after the escaping scooter driver. Helena and Jason checked the spot he was at.
There are two snow mobiles ready to use at Station 10 (one of them the team brought with them).
A Hercules C-130 looms just outside the station.
The power is out.
Alright, we probably scared him off. Now, we need to get those explosives Chard mentioned on the heli.
From Watersdown, he gets the information that there are some crates in the supply shed out by the C-130.
They have been standing there since she arrived all those months ago. They are sealed with Tri-Plan tape and tagged as "Decontruction compounds".
- All right, I think we hitted that guy, I'm gonna have to check it out.
Mario just leaves the zone running, heading to the snow scooter.
