"I love it when people say stuff like that."

Night_Shade · June 2003

If Penguin got out, he'll post about it.
*touches headset* "We're all at the outpost, commander. Feel free to start shooting."
*As the vent shuts, muses thoughtfully*
"You know, I've heard stories about the aliens giving up before...and they weren't. It was right before some new alien showed up, that no-one'd ever seen before. Like a rhino, only bigger'n'nastier. Eh, what do I know, it was probably just some space cowboy tellin tall tales at a bar somewhere."
*goes back to examining Silent*
"I still can't find any injuries here. What did he say was wrong?"

PFCNublar · June 2003

"He said he couldn't feel his legs. I'd say do what the Russians say and 'Stomp yer feet.' Gets the blood moving I suppose."
*opens an eye and looks around*
"Hello, Karma. And how are things lying overing here?"
*smiles sarcastically*
*looks at THErat*
"Umm, is he that 'new alien that no one has seen before that will kill us all.' I'd love that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>."
*meh tummy rumbles*
"Ok, we've been out here kicking rump for about 8 hours...maybe a day? And I haven't had anything except that 'breakfast.' Do we ask the comm for an MRE or do we eat the aliens <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>. That would explain where all the bodies go."

Night_Shade · June 2003

"Can't feel his legs? Damn."
*removes Silent's boots*
"Phewee! Damn man, get some odor eaters. Now can you wiggle your toes?"
*hears Terran's stomach rumbling*
"I brought some ration bars with me, just in case. You want one?"
*Terran's stomach rumbles again*
"I'll take that as a yes." *tosses Terran a bar*

Frosty · June 2003

"So you think they gunna pull in the big guns?"
*Unloads revolver, reloads with bullits that have a distinct black stripe*
"Ah well thats what these are for."
*smiles as he flicks his wrist, sending the chamber back to its firing position*

Marik_Steele · June 2003

[pointing to the seige cannon] "I say we have the Comm slap that puppy on and get the heck out of here. I don't want to be anywhere near it if those freaks suddenly change their mind and want this place after all, and if they choose not to show up it's one less bile sack to worry about."
*Not quite so shaky now, I stand back up*
"I'm sticking at rear as usual. Sir, do you want to waypoint us to the ship's bridge and autopilot controls our civvie friend was jibbering about some time ago, or have you got other plans?"

Night_Shade · June 2003

*looks at Frosty*
"I hope not. What are they, hollowpoint? AP?"
*looks at Marik*
"Good idea, but we can't really move out until Silent can walk. I know we've got Quaz back at base but he's missing an arm. I don't want to have to put Silent next to him if I can avoid it."

Frosty · June 2003

"These are ap, my holow point have a red stripe"

BadKarma · June 2003

"Thats hilarious Terran, real funny. Hey toss some of that ration over here if you can spare it."

PFCNublar · June 2003

"Hey, thanks."
*cracks the bar into 3 pieces*
"One for meh, one for you, and one for Silent when he wakes up."
*hands Karma a piece*
*pops the little piece into my mouth*
"Mmm...rationy goodness. I'll have to remember to bring these with me where ever."
*burps*
"I'm enjoying it too much. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>."
"I don't know why, but I feel fat and sassy after that third of a bar. I want a nap. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>"
*yawns*

BadKarma · July 2003

*Eats the ration*
"Damn, youre right. R&D wernt kidding when they said one per man."

spinviper · July 2003

"My god! Are all of you dumb?? There is a bull type alien, its called an ONOS!!" "Does anyone actully go for breifings?" "But no worries, Im here" "I need a grenade or an exposive round" "But I will prefer a grenade"

"IVE GOT THE POWER ALIENS!!!! I AM DAUNTLESS!!! YOU SHALL FEEL MY WRATH!!" "BRING IT ON!!"/in a meledious SCREAM *echos through out the ship*

*drinks alien blood* *Takes a small piece of skulk and cooks it under my lighter* *eats the piece of skulk*
"I am a WARRIOR!!!"

Mr_Headcrab · July 2003

"Your also frightning me"
*turns to Night*
"Dont you guys screen out the wackjobs before training? I've stayed sane after living on board a infestation filled bucket of bolts for nearly 2 weeks, and your guys are on for a day and they're already goin nuts," *pointing over to Viper* " If that one comes within a foot of me with anything pointy he'll need more than a medpack to PULL THE CROWBAR OUT OF HIS SINUS ! *Twitch, Ed pulls a pack of gum out of his pocket* "... gum?"

Night_Shade · July 2003

Hey Crab, your avatar's unreadable. As for you, Viper, I swear I'm gonna steal Wynona and shoot you myself if you don't toe the line.
"Yeah, I'll go some gum. Thanks Ed."
*looks at spinviper*
"Yeah, we're supposed to screen out the nutcases, but every once in a while one slips through. Our station was kinda manned in a hurry, and I'd say the shrinks fell asleep on the job. Damn it, I'm a field medic, not a psychiatrist, I can't tell what the hell's going on between his ears. If anything. And yes, I paid attention at the briefing. A nade won't stop an onos, you're gonna need some of Frosty's patented AP rounds to dent one in a hurry."
*looks at Terran and Karma chowing on ration bar*
"Go easy guys, one of those is supposed to do a man for 24 hours."
*touches headset*
"Commander, those sieges aren't shooting yet..."
*looks at Marik as he remembers what was said earlier*
"What was that about an autopilot?"

Mr_Headcrab · July 2003

Hmm, my avatar looks fine to me...

 "The autopilot is still engaged, do you feel that?"
*a constant slight vibration is felt through the bulkhead*
" the engines are still active, a normal autopilot, in case of emergency, is suppose to shut down, only problem ours is a bolt in off a derelict BMRC exploration ship, needless to say, it's programmed to return to main base in case of emergency, only problem is the destination: Sol system, Ganymede station..., luckly, we're still a good distance off from PhaseGate 265.."



Ok, i took over a bit, but i assume that in the NS future history, humans spread out throughout the solar system, colonizing whatever they could. In my version, Ganymede,a moon of Jupiter, became a heavily colonized base, think of as if i said "Sydney, Australia". not too good fo us

SilentMurderer · July 2003

"*Fainted a while ago*
"Umm... Where am i?

Night_Shade · July 2003

"That can't be good, Ed. Mind you, the TSA will blow this ship into subatomic particles if we get anywhere near Ganymede station, so we don't have to worry about them...just us."
*sees Silent stir*
"Good, you're up. Terran said you couldn't feel your legs. You're back at the outpost. How do you feel now?"
*watches sieges come online and start firing, and hears roar*
"Oh, ****! Guns up everyone! We got company big time!"
*hefts Silent and drags him over to the armory, then takes position near the factory, LMG shouldered*

xect · July 2003

Commander: "Well, I guess it's time. Stay ready, they might not like this."

Siege starts firing.

*Boom*

*Boom*

Aliens on the other side of the wall start screaming, but still no one attacks.

*Boom*

*Boom*

*BoorrrrooooAaAaAAAARH*

A sound of thunder is heard down the hallway.

Mr_Headcrab · July 2003

"What the heck is that??!!
*Ed readies Wynona*


that's odd, this one didnt get nuked along with the others....

Marik_Steele · July 2003

I've split off all posts from Xect's vacation onward. Rather than deleting them right now, I split them into another thread here in fan-fiction so Xect can give the go-ahead; I don't want to be deleting too much (or too little). If you want to save anything you or someone else wrote in the past week or so, get to it before the thread gets nuked.

PFCNublar · July 2003

*looks around frantically*
*drags a cargo box over to my position to use as cover/firing position*
*opens it up, and jumps in*
*peeps out of the top of the box, CZU ready*
"I love my resourcefulness..."
*wonders about what an idiot I look like*

This post may be a bit extreme. Tell me if I shouldn't have used that box. Oh, and good to see that we'll have some sanity here...and destroying the ship <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

xect · July 2003

Down the hallway, a huge rhino-like create is approaching. Suddenly, it's speed increases to double what it was before. The sound of it running down the metal hallway sounds almost surreal in combination with a new wave of alien screams as the siege cannon fires again.

Thanks for nuking the thread Marik. And terran, those weird actions are what makes roleplaying special, as long as you don't mess up the story you are free to be creative.

Night_Shade · July 2003

I guess this means I'm not dead. I still dont get back for a week, but I'll try and keep up.
"Oooohhh, ****. Now we're in for it!"
*takes cover behind Terran's box and crouches, LMG at the ready*
*sees Silent looking around, dazed*
"Damn it Silent, take cover! Incoming!"
*to self* "It's times like this I wish I'd scored better on the shooting range."

spinviper · July 2003

I posted it on one of my posts I got a gl grenade outta the army at put a timer on it.

*Onos Opens mouth to Roar*

*aims for his mouth and throws two grenades*

"Hope u ate that"

Night_Shade · July 2003

Viper, I suggest you read post #1 in this thread and ponder on the heroic actions part before xect makes the onos eat you. Or something.

Mr_Headcrab · July 2003

" Oh no...."
*Ed opens up full auto with Wynona, quite a few penetrate but quite a few merely bounce off like nothing, eventually, Wynona clicks empty*
"Gah!"
*Ed draws the Charlie's Revolver and opens fire, the pericing scream of the .45 Long Colt is only drowned out by the seiges.*

spinviper · July 2003

FIXED!

Edit: But it wasnt heroic

Marik_Steele · July 2003

*Shuffles over to the turret factory and kneels behind it, steadying gun arm over it to fire at the onos*


[edit]Spinviper, claiming that you just *happened* to successfully throw two hand grenades in the Onos' mouth would fall in the "you don't decide that" category. For starters, we don't even get hand grenades.

PFCNublar · July 2003

*opens fire on the onos*
"AYIEEEEE-"
*stops abrupty when a claw like thing slams into my shoulder*
*I slump down into the box, paralyzed*
"Wow...this is weird. I can't feel a damned thing..."

Will there ever be hand grenades in NS? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> I'd love nuking the skulk that bound chuckle out of the vent

SilentMurderer · July 2003

*Looks around*
"Wh... What the hell is that?"
*Runs forward towards the Onos heading for Terran*
*Empties Shotty*
*Reloads*
*empties it again*
"Terran, you okay?"
