Oh! Sorry Boggle. Its just that earlier in the RPG, I said I was a techie who came to the TSA for tuition money, and was skilled in mechinical and technical areas. Ok, I'll just work on weapons! It has been edited

"Christ. What were you on this ship before we got here. You act like you are like a militant or was once in the armed forces."
*looks at Headcrab's weapon*
"OOO! A NEW WEAPON! GIMME GIMME GIMME! ITS SO PRETTY!"
*starts to lunge for it*

Headcrap, you messed up the text formats. To summarize: normal-color bold for OOC text. Colored text in asterisks (*) for actions, colored text in quotes (") for speech. Stick to that, makes it a lot easier to read.

A bunch of different building blueprints appear. A resource tower on the node, a turret factory and a phasegate"

Mr_Headcrab · June 2003

*hoslters Wynona*
"... thats odd..."
*looks for other marines' reactions*


Sorry, im an idiot

Cataphract_40 · June 2003

No, you're not <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> 


*Cataphract waits patiently in the mess hall while the phasegate is built (Hopefully first, I want to splatter some Kharra!). He stays alert, watching for any movement, and holds his LMG at the ready in case any nasty alien buggars pop out of nowhere.*

BadKarma · June 2003

*Done inspecting the skulk corpse, he decides to take it out of the room, figuring it might attract more.*

spinviper · June 2003

*covers team as they build*

"Thats a real beaut civve"
"Terran chill out man, we can wait for hmgs or my private arsenal" *grins* *whispers*"I snuck some stuff in"

"Comm get an arms lab and weps lv 1 asap, dont want to have non upgraded weapons when they have cara" *speaks under breath* "or should I mod my own...."*grins*

Mr_Headcrab · June 2003

*watches Marines bulid structures*
"Ah, i see."
*starts to help with the phasegate, looks up at wall, 5 bullet holes are seared through the wall*
*under breath*".. had to waste those Anti-armor rounds...."

Edit: forgot to close tags

Marik_Steele · June 2003

*Sets borrowed LMG from Frosty on the ground and sits down next to it. Unslings own LMG*
"Gimme a second and you may have your own LMG back, Frosty. Time to take advantage of the relative peace and see what's wrong with mine here..."
*Does standard TSA checklist, and by step 3 sees that--*
"Jeez, someone should kick me around a bit for this one."
*Flicks safety off, pops off one round into the cieling, flicks safety back on and slings LMG over back.*
"I turned the safety on before first going through the Infantry Portal, just to stay safe. I guess I never remembered to switch it back. Figures. Oh, almost forgot again--"
*Takes out pistol, checks that safety can switch back and forth normally, sets it back in holster.*
"Okay, I'm good. Frosty, I know you said you wouldn't use this, but it's probably better in your hands anyway."
*Hands back Frosty's LMG*

*Walks over to stand next to the "civvie" and also aid with the phase gate. Sees the civvie look up at some bullet holes, and looks at them too*
"Those would definitely fall under the category of 'big ouchies.' I'd give plenty right now if the Comm could find some way to read in a magazine of that ammo into the system so we could nano-drop it wherever we wanted."

Bogglesteinsky · June 2003

*Busies himself working on the res node. Due to technical skill (or is it just high fps <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>) he is finished before anyone else, and goes over to help with the phase gate*

Cataphract_40 · June 2003

*As the Marines finish the phase gate, the one in the Mess hall beigns to glow. Grinning, Cataphract and DeathDoom step onto it and Cataphract activates it. There is a flash of light, and the two step off the pad into the dimly lit corridor. Cataphract stands at attention.*

"Reinforcements reporting."

*Cataphract relaxes again.*

"Hey. How's it going?"

*he notices the smeared remains of the two aliens*

"Ugh, good God! What a smell..." *he holds his hand over his nose briefly*

Bogglesteinsky · June 2003

"Bah, get used to it. theres plenty more where those things came from"

*activates voice comm link*

"what do you want us to do know commander?"

PFCNublar · June 2003

*looks at DeathDoom and Catraphat*
"Ah! State your rank and skills you bring to this playground, please. You two look like dangerous pair..."
*looks at Headcrab's weapon*
*twitch*

deathdoom · June 2003

"heheheh"
*stands to atention*
"private DeathDoom im a sharp shot with these LMGs sir,ive customised this one so it has a lot less recoil and is a lot more accurate"
*turns to look at the 2 dead aliens*
"somthing certainly did a nice job of them"
*deathdoom takes his LMG from his back and loads it*
*shudders slightly at the smell*

EDIT:forgot to close tags

Hydra · June 2003

Alrighty, I think I will try to join in, mabey as more reinforcements?

Also, what color do you think would be available?
I would like red, bold red

Bogglesteinsky · June 2003

Welcome aboard, i hope you know the rules. talk to xect as to what he wants you to come in as

Cataphract_40 · June 2003

*Cataphract stands at attention again*

"Private Cataphract, and I'm a hot shot with an HMG, sir!"

xect · June 2003

Well Chaos, start off by reading the first two posts in the thread, and the latest posts to keep yourself updated on the situation. Then just assume you arrive trough the phase gate <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

And Cataphract, that sig is gonna get nuked when the mods see it.

Cataphract_40 · June 2003

The reasons for this censoring of sig pics of a certain size even when they're not hosted locally elude me.

SilentMurderer · June 2003

"I'm good thank you!"

I missed a little of the story

 This is not the place to discuss it but lets just say that a large (file size) sig would really annoy the dial-up people and if there was no size (dimensions) limit, we could be here forever scrolling down to the next post.
Hey Comm, you fallen asleep or something? These Aliens know we are here now and you cant expect us to be able to defend this place forever.

LucidReality · June 2003

*looks at the new reinforcements*

"You two look like a couple of greenies. Only one rule here, everyone fights, noone runs. Got it?"


Heh stole a line from starshiptroopers

deathdoom · June 2003

*looks back at lucid*
"fair enougth, heh, but ill tell ya im hardly a greenie"
*shows lucid a whold bunch of notches that have scratched into his pistols handle with a knife*

Hydra · June 2003

I decided to do bold purple, as you can see.
*Blinks, then rubs his eyes*
"Stupid IP's always give me a headache"
*See's PG flash as Cataphract and Deathdoom step onto it, and curses under his breath about how many bright lights there are around here*
*Steps on PG, and opens eyes as steps off it*
"Well what to do now? That green blood splatter probably more appitizing than that 'oatmeal' was"

Cataphract_40 · June 2003

"Well, I've only one thing to say to that, Lucid."
*with that Cataphract spins around, brings his LMG up to his shoulder and bullseyes a thin pipe fifty feet away.*
"Any other choice comments you'd like to make?"


BTW, the quote is "Everyone fights, no one quits." Not that the movie is any good compared to the book.

Mr_Headcrab · June 2003

"I'd suggest you'd be careful what critical ship componets you'd use for target practice, there's some nasty stuff'a brewin' round here. Not sure precisely what, but I've seen a Pointy Kitty fall into a vat and explode. Not a pretty sight......"
*watches as steam erupts from the pipe*
" Lucky for you, that's only the hot water pipe for the Head on E Deck"

LucidReality · June 2003

Your not closing your tags /b /color ect. 

*looks at cataphract*

"Boy youd better shape up if you plan on surviving round here. Keep that attitude and youll find yourself in a bad situation with nonone willing to help you."

*Holsters TSA .50 DE*

Mr_Headcrab · June 2003

*notices Lucid's pistol*
"IMI Desert Eagle, or Magnum Research Desert Eagle?and dont forget to keep that behemoth away from the bulkhead, .50 Action Express ripping through the 3.5 inches of re-enforced NanoSteel would cause a nasty hull breach..."
*pats Wynona"

LucidReality · June 2003

"Its a TSA issue deagle, no armor peircing bullets for inship fighting, and its a littel weaker but its still stronger than that blasted standard pistol. I got this for good service on the Hera outpost, being one of the only survivors and all. But its still pretty strong, thats why i only fired 5 shots last firefight, cause i was missin that flying rat."

*Pulls out lmg, blows off dust, checks the clip, sits down, oils it, replace it at my side stand up and look at the dead skulk*

"Comm, could we maybe get some food down here? ya know, phase in a pizza or two. Those darn oatmeal bowl things they served us were crap. Like eating the schools macaroni and cheese, with out the paste to keep ya filled."

SilentMurderer · June 2003

"Guys! Calm down. We don't want any trouble in our unit."
*Takes a deep breath*
"Hey, where's Terran?"

Hydra · June 2003

*Pulls out his sidearm and has it in several pieces in about 10 seconds*
*Begins to tinker with firing spring*
"Damn, would you believe it, stupid piece of metal got in it"
*Takes out piece of metal and reassembles weapon*
"Hehe, well I think that shooting any pipes a bad idea, might be a waste transfer pipe, and that would just add to the 'unique' smell here"
"I wish I had a pizza right about now, meatlovers"
*Drool*
