Colson is in the Arty position, looking over the Scoped sniper weapon, checking the optics.
Ian comes wandering in from the south, evidently looking for something. It takes him a bit to make his way to the artillery positions when he spots someone holding it, "You even know how t'use that?" he inquires, looking down into the position, focused on Colson.
McMillan strides up to the aid station, shotgun draped across his shoulders.
Bell is sitting outside of the aid station quietly. She lifts an eyebrow at Ian's inquiry, "You didn't hear?" She peers at the man curiously. A smile and a nod though, to McMillan, "Oh… so you found your gun. That's good."
Colson looks up to Ian, blinking, "Do I know-" He reaches into his pocket, pulling out a handfull of spent shells, looking at them, then looks to Bell, "I guess not." He looks back to Ian, "Do you need it for an action?" He asks, capping the scope and repocketing the shells. He rises, and, checking the rifle is ready for use, reverses it, holding the stock out to Ian.
McMillan smiles and nods to Bell, "Aye, yes ma'am. I'm just glad I'm finally getting off of watch, y'know? I'm afraid I'll be popped off by a Turk when I'm just standing around like a big, dumb target."
Bell doesn't seem to approve of Ian's comment, frowning faintly. She wants to speak up in Colson's defense, opening thn closing her mouth and sighs. She smiles as McMillan greets her. "Well, that's why you peek out every so often, don't stand in a bad spot," She winks at McMillan. "You'll be fine. I think you're more likely to be popped off with the action starts in earnest." She nods as they go off. "Be safe this eve."
Ian grins down at Colson, "Aye, unless ye wager yer a better shot than me." he grins, "How many turks ye pop with that thing so far? Think i'm up to four or five…. ain't countin kills with them iron sights neither."
Colson shrugs, "I started collecting kill shells couple weeks ago. I'm up to Eight." He shrugs, "I've been working with this one for a while."
Ian nods, "Well, you keep it then. I can do just fine with iron sights, scope's just a bit of a bonus I aspose."
Colson gets out of the Arty position, "Something's going on, best to get set up." He nods, "Aye."

Coordinates : 4 4
At the head of Monash Gully, at the eastern end of the treacherous road through Shrapnel Valley, lies the salient of the ANZAC line. There is little natural cover here, though defensive points can be carved into the earth or in the scraggly rocks of the Turkish desert hills.
It is currently night time.

Colson comes up, and runs into the Reserve Trench, getting set up, popping the caps off the Scoped rifles optics.
Callaway is at the front. Not exactly unusual, but he's just sitting against the trench wall rather than prowling in search of enlisted to do some horrid, life-threatening work. He watches the men assemble for the night watch with a certain weariness.
McMillan is sitting against the trench wall, rifle held tightly to his body. He seems to be muttering some sort of prayer.
Silverson is nestled near the Vickers, quietly writing in a leatherbound journal. He looks thoughtful as his pen travels across the pages. He's humming softly, looking up from time to time. "Hmmm…" Wait, there's - and he looks to Callaway. "Allo sir."
Joseph slips into the Trench, sliding down. He stumbles a bit and peeks around. He spots the Sitting officer and moves over to him. He drops to a knee, while leaning opposite to the officer. His brow furrows, looking over the tired officer.
Callaway clears his throat and straightens up as much as he dares in the trench, trying to get the attention of the troops around him. "Men," he says shortly. That tiredness in his manner remains, though he seems to be trying to mask it.
Colson stretches his neck briefly and settles into a firing position, looking through the Scoped sights to the East, scanning the NML as is his wont. He doesn't respond to Callaway, but he does seem to be listening.
McMillan mutters softly under his breath as Callaway speaks, "And Shepherds we shall be. For thee, my Lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand. Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee. And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti."
"I know there have been many rumors lately, about the future of our mission here," Callaway says to them. How could there not be? Any attempts at offensives have ceased for months. Replacements are few and far between. No gains made, and holding onto the ground they have has been a bloody affair. "I thought it best to put them to rest. The officers down the line will be making similar announcements to their squads."
Silverson blinks. He tilts his head, listening. He furrows his brows, but bobs his head at Callaway. He's even caught on by this point. His pen stops scratching across the pages.
Colson keeps scanning the NML, but he's definately listening now, oh yes. Even so, he doesn't stop looking out for enemy incursions.
Ian follows Colson somewhat, rifle slung over his shoulder as he moves into the line for his stint on sentry duty.
"The decision has been made by command to begin withdrawing from Anzac Cove," Callaway says. No preliminary. He just states it flat out. "We are to hold the trenchline, as we've been doing. The Navy is making every effort to make the pull-out as quiet as possible, so as not to alert Johnny Turk to our withdrawal. You will likely receive orders on when you will be shipped out in the coming days. In the meantime, the Red Cross may request assistance readying the wounded for transport. Give them any hand that you're able."
Joseph merely stares at the Officer, not quite surprised. He looks around at his gathered comrade, and blinks realizeing he barely knows any of them. He thinks about all the people who died on this land just for them to retreat. He sits down, leaning back. He crosses his arms, and balls his hands into fists. He continues to listen though.
Colson keeps looking out over the NML, still listening, but not exactly surprized, he was, apparently, one of those who heard the talk.
Silverson looks as if - he'd perhaps considered it but DIDN'T. It's hard to imagine loss. Silver's pained, but he nods meekly. "Yes sir," He murmurs meekly. His pen once again scritches across the paper. He still seems to look up (not just literally) to Callaway though.
McMillan just shrugs up at Callaway, he's not been a part of the group long enough to have an opinion on the matter.
Callaway nods shortly all around. "Orders are to proceed as normal with the watch tonight, and in the coming nights until you receive your call to disembark." Guarding soon-to-be-deserted trenches. Heartening. He clears his throat. "I want you lads to know, whatever the generals may decide to do with these shores, you've done us all proud. I was in Europe. But I never saw such courage as I have here. It's been my honor to serve among the Anzacs. You've held ground that no men should've held for this long. You've taken every Mehmet has thrown at you and given him back just as well. Whatever happens, know that you've done yourselves proud, and done your fellow soldiers proud. Nothing more can be asked for."
Colson does not react to the praise. To his mind, there are still men over there who want them all dead, and for that reason, he's scanning the NML carefully. Beyond that, he'll face it when it happens.
Silverson seems grateful for the praise, but there's a definite sadness to Silver. Gone… they're all gone. His pen still moves and he's nesting amidst the ammunition near the Vickers, looking almost like the dreaded Brit-Bird. "Thank you sir, t'was an honor to serve with you too," He finally adds quietly.
Joseph merely shakes his head. He spits on the ground, as if he has a bad taste in his mouth. He grabs his rifle, and begins to wipe dirt and mud off of it. He looks down at it, thinking about the many times it had saved his life…and ended anothers..
Callaway says simply, "Hold the line, men" before heading off. Down the trench, to spread his message of imminent retreat elsewhere.
Ian looks around, smirking, "So that's it then? Get to go home? Perfect!" he says, grinning from ear to ear as he finds a seat on an old ammunition box.
Colson sighs, "Well, Home, or redeployed elsewhere. Most likely the later."
