[20:14] Damienn Kiranov was walking on the bridge, seemingly trying to keep a low profile, he stops when he sees Laurick pointing a gun at him. "Heh... guess it was only a matter of time... So how's this gonna go?"
[20:14] Laurick Scarbridge cocked the rifle that he had in his hands, the underside of the barrel being pumped. He leaned forward with a perpetual smile on his lips, aiming down the agog scope as he spoke in a jovial tone, "Well, I was right it seems. By the way, might I ask what you're doing heading into the swamps? Also, a gun? It means stop. That it does. Kwa hoo hoo hoo! Now, why don't you be a nice little android and stay still," the red head said, and tapped at his com, "This is Doctor Scarbridge requesting backup at the big bridge."
[20:21] Damienn Kiranov pulls his chainsword out with his right hand, then brings an SMG into his left. "Oh no... not that simple. I'm not going back. In fact, I kinda expected this. Why I made this nasty little number a little while ago. Seen some crazy android on TV. Thought it would be fun..." he wastes no time to rev his sword and quickly aims his gun at Laurick. "You see... there's one thing you forgot... I'm more durable. You may hit me a few times, but I guarantee, before I go down, either you, or one of your friends goes with me."
[20:21] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) had oocly taken his sweet ass time, amazed at hte lack of lag actualy. BUT Icly he had run, and seeing DK, recognizing hte man as teh one the Doctor wanted to confront, he droped to his knees at the side of the bridge, rifle snapping up to aim at hte mans back in such a way as to ensure any shots that missed, would not fly at Laurick.
[20:24] Laurick Scarbridge tilts his head from one side to the next as he looks at Kiranov rather curiously. He lowered his weapon only slightly as he watched the android rev up the chainsword. The red head blinked momentarily, and then started laughing, "Kwa hoo hoo hoo! Now that is fantastic! This will be most fun, don't you think? Oh my. Oh my, indeed. Well. Even if we go, we go in the name of science! But, you're a failed experiment. Therefore, you cannot win. Eventually we will win, because you are flawed in a way you likely don't understand, but unfortunate for you.. I understand your flaw," he said, raising the rifle up once more, having already cocked the grenade launcher, he almost immediately fired on DK without warning or hestiation after his wordiness.
[20:27] Damienn Kiranov had banked on the grenade being too close to fully activate, so he immediate made a jump toward Laurick. He batted the grenade away with his left gauntlet, sending it off the bridge, as he closed the distance, he would take a swing with his chainsword at Laurick.
[20:29] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) ran through options quickly. With Laurick right htere, grenades were NOT an option, as the waters below were unsafe. He was packing AP rounds, whatever size the HK 416 fired.. so he did hte best he could. Aiming from his crouched position, he pulled the trigger down and held, the automatic rifle spitting a stream of bullets for DKs back. Against an unmoving surface, you could imagine a drilling effect... and had done this to a few humans in his time too. Very messy.
[20:34] Damienn Kiranov took a few rounds in his back. At first, they caused some synthblood to shoot out, but for a very brief time, confirming that he indeed was not human, and much tougher than one. He made a quick assessment, then took another swing at Laurick with his sword, though, the intent was more as a feint, so that he could execute a spin, and put himself to where he would be facing both his opponents.
[20:37] Laurick Scarbridge would have found the first swipe ineluctable had Ciro not fired off his rifle when he'd chosen to. As it was, Laurick was able to use his rifle to move down and take the brunt of the chainsword's cut. Of course, he lost his rifle in this confusion and it was sent flying over the edge of the bridge just like his weapon had been. The Doctor started to move back when Kiranov came forward with another swipe. Laurick raised his left arm up as quickly as he possible could, likely catching the tip of the chainsword cutting against the hard diamond like filiment that had contained the plasma within the chamber. He stumbled back all the same from the attack, and shook his head, soon laughter followed, "Kwa hoo hoo hoo! I should have expected this! We might need better numbers to stop you Ghost. Oh well. We'll see what happens here now won't we? Larger weapons next time - if there is one!"
[20:40] Damienn Kiranov didn't get what he wanted, but he did get one gun out of the way, this left him an opening. Which he used to immediately send a 4 round burst of 4.3 mm bullets from his SMG towards Ciro. As he fired, he edged closer to left end of the bridge, putting his chainsword back on his back, then drawing a shotgun with his right hand.
[20:42] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) was not as well protected as he should have been, his helmet was on his ass, not his head. Oopse. Diving to his side when DK shot, he managed to avoid any serious injury, though one of the bullets grazed his thigh as he landed, a streak of blood but the wound was visibly minor. He attempted to fire, but the dive had resulted in a loss of accurate aim. Now it was more sprayed bullets in that direction. He was more interested now in keeping DK at range, as that shotgun was NOT something he wanted to get close to.
[20:45] Damienn Kiranov took a bullet in his stomach from the spray. It may not have been accurate, but there was enough lead going down to hit something. He seen that he made a mistake with his hand/weapon placement when he aimed another 3-5 round burst from his SMG towards Ciro, and had to cross his shotty under his left arm to fire a blast at Laurick.
[20:47] Laurick Scarbridge blinked as he watched Ghost's movements. The red head reached up and tapped at his bottom lip with his right hand. He tilted his head from side to side, then Kiranov started to shoot at him. He blinked. When Kiranov aimed the weapon at him, the Doctor didn't seem to move. When the buckshot ripped through his upper right shoulder he just glanced down at it. Then he started to laugh, "Kwa hoo hoo hoo! Oh my! Now that was unexpected! It's warm you know, and it feels rather good. Hm, what do I have, what do I have? Oh. Wait. This," he said, reaching down toward his belt to pick off one of the grenades. He looked up at Damienn and tossed the grenade into the air, and then leaned forward grinning as he tilted his head from side to side, "Boom," was all he said as he pulled the pin, and moved to his right side a bit waiting a moment before chucking it at Kiranov.
[20:51] Damienn Kiranov had focused on Ciro, since he was the one with the gun, as a result, he hadn't noticed the grenade until Laurick made his comment. "Oh shit..." Was all he could say as the grenade went off, spraying shrapnel into his left side, and a few pieces into his face.
[20:54] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) with DK momentarily distracted, took his chance, still on his side, he droped his rifle, a frag grenade pulled from each thigh, pulled the pins with his teeth all movie commando, waited a second, and then rolled them at DK. Laying as he was, tossing would not have been accurate enough. but bowling for bots woudl work. (yes 2 frags)
[20:58] Keelyn OHanlon mumbled into her com upon her approach, and unlike the avatar, the character really stayed back at the end of the bridge, crouched with her rifle aimed at the being on the bridge. Seeing shrapnel flying about, she naturally kept her distance and brought the target into her sight, waiting for a reply.
[20:58] Damienn Kiranov had focused on Ciro, so he seen that coming, though, with a 5 meter kill, and 15 meter injury, even with his mad dash back, he still took some shrapnel in his back as he moved away.
[21:00] Laurick Scarbridge reached up and tapped at his com, keeping his gaz steadily on Kiranov. The red head backed up as he tried to strafe move with Ghost's movements. Except, the explosion had stopped him. Laurick stumbled back and grabbed onto the railing behind him, trying not to fall off .. though he did. He gripped onto the edge of the bridge with his mechanical left hand .. which was all that was keeping him up as he clamped, surprisingly his voice was calm, "Open fire when ready, we're attempted to subdue this experiment. It is an escapee from the UAC scientific labs. It is an android. Feel free to use whatever force is necessary! Kwa hoo hoo hoo!"
[21:04] Keelyn OHanlon: Well that was all the fresh off the dropship Sargeant needed to hear. She open fired on the man, not quite realizing the scientist with the funny laugh had just dropped off the side of the bridge. She aimed for arms rather than center mass, seeing weapons in his grasp, sending a few rounds as he started running her way. She debated her options out as well, hoping to take him down before he reached her proximity. To her com, she muttered. "Copy that. Any known weak points?"
[21:05] Damienn Kiranov had to make a new assessment, but one thing was annoying him, "CYBORG, goddamn it! Not android! I have a fucking human brain in my headbox! Damn!" He accented his annoyance by sending both a 3 round burst, and a shotgun blast towards Keelyn, just after he got hit once in the right arm, and once in the chest.
[21:08] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) was able to shift his aim with DKs attention elsewhere, aiming of all odd places, for hte face. time to get personal. the shot would be VERY hard to make, but he was already prone so had that to aid in the aiming. Trigger squeezed as AP rounds sought to make themslves lead boogers in the cyborgs nose.
[21:10] Damienn Kiranov took a bullet in the side of his cranium. This staggered him severely, then caused him to fall down on his ass, his back would slump against the railing. He appeared to have been taken down.
[21:11] Keelyn OHanlon wasn't /that/ fresh off the boat, and pulled back behind the pillar she had used for protection. Shotgun blasts to brick was chipping free some debris, and a second shot grazed her calf, but she pulled it back in fast, bleeding and all. She didn't see the man slump of course, and grabbed a frag off her belt. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Pin pulled with her teeth and she lobbed it over his way.
[21:13] Laurick Scarbridge remained hanging on the side of the bridge, since the actions over head would likely take place at a much faster pace than his pulling himself to the bridge would. He grunted slightly as he tugged. But, the only thing really keeping him hanging there was the mechanical arm. He was a marine yes, but he wasn't very physically strong. He could probably have lifted himself up if he had two real hands. But, he didn't. He blinked as he hung there with little to no strain on his back and just shrugged. He'd wait for someone to help him up.
[21:17] Damienn Kiranov tried to shake off the severe case of bullet-to-the-head-syndrome that he had suddenly come down with, only to find a grenade tossed his way. "Well... so much for surprise..." Is all he could mutter to himself as he made a mad scramble to crawl away from the grenade. He didn't get to far before it went off, the blast had sent him flying off the bridge and into the water.
[21:18] Laurick Scarbridge glanced down at the water as Kiranov went *plop* like a fishy.
[21:19] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) from his position, was able to see Lauricks cybernetic hand holding onto teh railing, but he was too far to get close quickly "Grab the Doctor. He should weigh 90 pounds or so." he motioned as he rushed to the edge DK had dived/been thrown over, rifle pointing down.. but the mirk prevented him from seeing into the filthy waters dpeths
[21:20] Keelyn OHanlon blinked momentarily in surprise as he landed in the water, and peeked out from her pier. She heard the LT and ran over towards the scientist. Holstering her weapon, she offered him a hand. "Cmon, get up off there. No reason to commit suicide /now./" She grinned and pulled with her boot braced against one of the bridge supports.
[21:22] Laurick Scarbridge reached up with his right hand and took the hand that was extended to him. He used her bracing to place his right foot on the side of the bridge and proceeded to hop over the railing. He leaned over and brushed himself off as he looked at the new scars on the bridge, and the chunks that would be missing. He let go of Keelyn's hand and trotted to the opposite side of the bridge, leaning over, "Plenty of reasons to kill myself now, hrm? The experiment got away. I wonder if we can perhaps find it again. I would like that very much. Though, today might not be the right day to do so. However, is everyone uninjured," the Doctor said as he turned his head to look back at the two, "I am a Doctor of Science, but I am also a medical Doctor in that respect, hrm?"
[21:24] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) drops his rifle to hang from his chest, and looked down to the bullet grazing. He wasnt even gonna waste a shot of morephine on it. Pulling a field dressing from his pouch, he slid it into the opening in his pants and pressed it to his skin, eyes still scanning hte murk. "No sign of him. Figure he's clear. Unless one of those naval mines blows up"
[21:25] Keelyn OHanlon peered over the edge and shrugged. She looked down to the graze along her calf and shook her head. "Bactine'll do the trick." She seemed as if it wasn't bothering her much at all. "Bandages an' bactine. So he's your experiment, Doc? What do we know about that one? Weak spots? Besides gunshots to the face."
[21:28] Laurick Scarbridge shook his head as he looked down at the water. He grumbled as he wrapped his arms behind his back, showing the first bit of emotion other than joviality for the first time in a while. Frustration. He turned about and grumbled, "The experiment is not mine. It is the GHOST prototype series. I'm rather upset at the moment that I am. I'm going to burn all the synth skin off of that damn thing the first chance that I get! I hate when things don't go as planned! I HATE HATE HATE IT! Grah!" he said, and walked to the opposite side of the bridge, twitching with anger. "Grenades. EMP. Rockets. It doesn't matter. Explosives. You can destroy the cyborg and it will still function as it should."
[21:30] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) Lets move out folks. Aint nothing we can do here except be sitting ducks for anyone bored witha high powered rifle. WHICH is most of midian.
[21:31] Keelyn OHanlon's look skated past the LT's face to see his reaction to the outburst. She wondered if it was normal course of things, and his reaction maybe would give her a clue. She cleared her throat after a moment of silence. "Okay. So. Ghost thingamabobs. Hm." She looked releived at the LT and nodded to him. "Yes sir. Midian?"
[21:34] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) nods "Keep in com contact Doctor." he looked to Keelyn "Mans a genius." he whispers "but fucking nuts. You wanna head through Midian? I was passing through on my way to the bunker to head to ebd."
[21:36] Keelyn OHanlon shrugged her shoulders and quirked a knowing grin. She'd gathered the 'nuts' bit in about five seconds flat. Softly, she replied. "Yes sir. Seems so. It'll be good to have a genuis researching that thing's... weaknesses though." She chimed in quickly after a moment. "Need to catch up so I'm worth something to the unit by tomorrow." She turned on her heel and headed back towards Midian.

An unidentified British Rail Class 37 Co Co diesel locomotive heads the Stour Valley Railway Preservation Society 'Rocket 150' Norwich- Liverpool Lime Street charter special on Sunday May 25th 1980 at Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Essex (UK).
Despite extensive research I've been unable to identify the number of this twin headbox Class 37/0 locomotive.
The charter train was heading to Liverpool for the 'Rocket 150' event to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the 'Rainhill Trials'
Note the every expense spared headboard..
This view of Chelmsford railway station has hardly changed at all in the intervening 40 years. Even the (now disused) signal box remains.

The dewatering mill is not quite ready and the headbox and feed chute to the mill hasn't been installed. Rod Savidge and Bruce Johnson mainly worked on these drawings.
Look closely; the lid DOES slam and jam down. It is hard to push up again. Use with headbox and neck lock, plus helmet and you won't get out. I tested this.
No additional hasp required though, would be nice.The construction is heavy.
During Keighley and Worth Valley Railway's annual Diesel Gala in June 2014, 37075 from their home fleet is seen running around its stock at Keighley Station with the second man looking on.
Despite being part of the original build of 119 locos with a 'Split Headbox' design, 37075 is unique in the fact it has two different nose designs due to accident damage sustained at some point in its life.

This is a Martin-Baker Mk GRU-5 seat, the A-6A version with a single pull loop for the face curtain.
Note that the characteristic "scissor shackle" is the black metal at top dead center. From the other side of the the seat head box, the drogue weight and line leads up to it, covered in black protective cloth, then there's the shackle, and close to us, the drogue feeds into the seat mechanisms and also attaches to the parachute.
There is a lot of technical stuff on the side of the head-box and below and underneath.
The aluminum plate is marked:

This picture has the headshot hit region manually painted onto the existing hitbox. Notice how there are 4 different spots where it can register a headshot. These normals are what need to be hit, rather than the actual visible head.
A commenter (below) tells me the green bit is the top-latch mechanism and that seat is an MB Mk GRU-5. Note these diagnostic points:
GRU-5: Face curtain strap routed around the headbox assembly-
GRU-5: No rocket motor initiator on the outside of the drogue gun (cylinder with red stickers)-
GRU-5: Shoulder Harness attached to the headbox assembly (clearly visible here)-
This is the seat in the simulator, probably not fight qualified today... besides having no pyrotechnic stuff in it, any inspections it once passed must have long since expired...
It sure looks the part. I thought the green cylinder was a pyro delay, or rather, an empty stand-in.

This Type 9B ejection seat is fitted to the BAE Jaguar GR1 and TMk 2 which uses the Type 9B1 and 9B2. The seat is a rocket assisted escape seat capable of zero-zero ejections. The Type 9B1 seat is fitted to the front cockpit of the Jaguar TMk 2 but has extended canopy breakers on the head box, the same as the Type 9D1 in this collection. The seat is complete apart from the Pilots Emergency Oxygen bottle and disconnects located on the rear face of the seat pan, and the MOR safety pin. Any leads on these items appreciated to complete this seat. This seat is pre mod 1101 introduced 1986 which changed these seats to Type 9B Mk 3 which incorporated a revised headbox containing both the pilots parachute and seat duplex drogues, replacing the back parachute container with NBC ventilator systems.

This is a front ejection seat from a British Aerospace Harrier T2/T4. Characteristically large canopy breakers are fitted to the headbox, the main difference between this Type and the 9A/1 and 9D/2 fitted to respectively to the single seat GR1-3 and rear seat of T2/T4. In service this seat has a rocket pack fitted under the seat pan. This is missing from this example, and required to complete this seat.
The Navy did buy Martin-Baker Mk5 ejection seats for their F11F-1s, but didn't do the upgrades- all the F-11As were retired with their original Grumman supplied seats.
*However* when the Navy bailed two F-11As to Rohr to test an in-flight thrust reverser design, they did upgrade those two to Martin-Baker seats. My guess is the pyrotechnic stuff in the Grumman supplied seats had expired. With many more Martin-Baker seats built and used, installing a flight-ready Martin-Baker seat would have been cheaper than requalifying or making new pyro stuff for the Grumman-supplied seat. In any event, Tommy Thomason's web site snd other sources I believe all tell this story.
Of course, when I got a chance to photograph an F-11A, it was this one at Pima Air Museum, which had been one of the pair activated for Rohr, and contains some but not all of a Martin-Baker seat.
I thought none were ever installed. Well, maybe not in any contemporary pix of the Blues at work, but this isn't ambiguous. That's a Martin Baker seat, not the Grumman original.
