*looks at the statistics board for Silent's Shotgun stats*
"Christ man, you emptied out that shotgun faster than anyone I know. One second for shooting and pumping, with pretty damn good accuracy."
*looks at the pistol stats*
"How long has it been since you used a gun? Not too long it seems, 5 mm radius."
*overhears Anderval complaining about pistol innacuracy*
"If you reposition your two forefingers to here...*demonstates on self*...accuracy should improve quite some."
*burn finger starts to sting again*
*sticks finger in mouth*
"It phucking bhurns. I'hll beh rhight bahk."
*heads to the bathroom*

Looking strangely at lucid, the officer asks what exactly you're thinking of. He ends up recommending that you go to the training room along with everyone else from your watch, and waits for further orders.

At this time, the marines from the second of the three watches enter the mess hall, waiting for their shift to begin. Strangely, not a lot of them seem to want another breakfast meal:) Along with the arrivval of the second switch, the officer announces the first switch to be off duty.

yeah, on second look you did use bold <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> 

walks around, looking for direction or something to do

Bogglesteinsky · May 2003

"Off duty now, with nothing to do"

"whats say we get some more realistic target practice in the simulator?"

BadKarma · May 2003

*After cleaning his shotgun, He walks to the quartermasters office and is amazed when the officer agrees to give him the vertical grip he wanted.*
" hot damn i dont belive it"
*After installing the attachment, he walks out of the firing range in a good mood and sees Kid standing around looking bored.*
"Hey its second switch, wanna go over to the simulators and have a go in the urban warfare setting?"

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

sure thing, and call me TAK
*grin*

I'm going to tear you apart, I was 2nd in my class in urban commbat simulation

heads over to simulators

Frosty · May 2003

*listens forlornly to the signal of shift exchange*
*sighs, returns lmg to the fireing range quarter master, reholsters revolvers with an entertaining western style spin, and bows to the few marines close enouph to notice*
*then loudly* "Ahh well, guess that means we gata open the range to the late risers, anyone feal open to a game of chess? I got a nice board, and the rec room should be fairly clear right now"
*awaits response with a raised eyebrow and large grin*

Bogglesteinsky · May 2003

"you seem to forget who was first. you dont stand a chance"

Marik_Steele · May 2003

*Raises an eyebrow at Frosty, surprized to find a fellow marine to appreciate the game*
"You're on. Haven't played old-fashion turn based or seen an authentic board in years. I'm too used to all of the computerized-rule variations. You know, 3D, real-time, that kind of stuff."


To anyone interested in how a real-time chess variation would work, I recommend seeing <a href='http://www.kungFuChess.com' target='_blank'>http://www.kungFuChess.com</a>

PFCNublar · May 2003

*comes back to the main hall, two fingers in a white wrapping*
"Bleh, won't let me use medical nanites. 'Only to be used for combat injuries.' God..."
*sits down, and starts to take apart CZ*
"Hmm..."
*puts my machine kit on a coffee table, takes out a few tools*
*begins to tinker*
*plugs up a watt measurement device to the electronics, simulates combat ready, firing full auto conditions*
"...Oo!"
*starts to overclock/reconfigure the capacitor*
*does a little math, sees that with the capacitor's rate of fire setting increased, ROF is higher...much higher*
*turns the battery watt controler on the powerbox for the weapon from 120V to 200V to provide for the new weapon*
*smirks the evil smirk*
"Oh yea..."

Frosty · May 2003

"Know what you mean Merik, got this one from my gramps when he died, buetiful soapstone peaces, though a couple of the pawns are missing feat, and the head on one of the knights cracked"

"Ill meet you in the rec room with the set"

*I go to my room pull out my board, and head toward the rec room, and begin to set out hte peaces, that have a distintive Easter Island statue feal*

"I call Black <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> "

Thanks ill check that out

BadKarma · May 2003

*He arrives with Kid (TAK?) in the the simulation room. After they are properly connected, they begin. Ten minutes later after being thoughourly deystroyed by Kid, he takes off the equipment to take a break*
"Damn, you werent kidding. That was pretty rough in there. You must of been top of you class during training huh?"

Marik_Steele · May 2003

*Seats self at table*
"Let's see if I've still got it."
*Makes a cautious opening, not knowing Frosty's style. Turns the pawn around in his hand a bit before placing it down.*
"It's just not the same with a touchscreen or holograms. Seems like your old man had good taste."
*Taps fingers on table lightly, looking at the board.*
"I dunno about you, but as soon as this game's over I'm hitting the sack early. If they don't give us something to do later today, I might as well be ready for tomorrow."

Frosty · May 2003

*Opens with kings pawn foward 1*
"Lets see if i can still play, its been forever sense anyone accepted a chalange, for some reason frontersmen seem to like checkers, go figure."


that kungfu chess is crazy, won my second and fith games, of five, got lucky <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

SilentMurderer · May 2003

*Looks at Terran*
"A month."
*Laughs*
"Hey, what about some Kharaa VR eh?" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
*Waits again for Terran*

Anderval · May 2003

*finishes up in range a little after the 2nd shift start to appear, and takes the express lift to the observation bubble*
* spends time staring into space and wonders how many other frontiersmen have stood in this spot wondering if they would make it home alive*
"i guess not many of them did or i wouldnt be here, stuck on this tin can; gah!"
*after an hour or so, i head to my quarters intent on making full use of the one hour-a-day off-ship communication allowance to 'phone home' - not that i will get a reply for weeks this far out in the arm*

LucidReality · May 2003

*I head down to the range and find almost everyone leaving*

"Good"

*I take out my pistol and aim for the target. I release a salvo of bullets in my wild but accurate style. everybullet hits teh target but a few stray to teh 6 -7 mm range from the middle.*

"Range, request GL for practice."


 I wonder if i should wait for xect to give me a GL or if i should put it in that i get one? Ill wait for xect since he DOES control the story, and me making myself get one would defeat the purpose of him being the GM

SilentMurderer · May 2003

*sees Lucid*
"You a Firearms expert too?"
*Hopes that i'm not the only gun freak on the ship*

Bogglesteinsky · May 2003

"you just got lucky then TAK, i'll get you next game, you dont stand a chance"

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

in case anyone can't figure it out TAK is just ThatAnnoyingKid but abreviated, it's less annoying to type that...<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

z.x. consider yourself on, let's do this
*wonders if anyone has seen the head officer*

BadKarma · May 2003

*Cracks knuckles and decides against watching Steinsky and TAK(I get it now) go at it. Instead, he walks over to the main lift to go see whats happening on the tactics deck. lots of officers were busy, so he decided just to have a look around*

PFCNublar · May 2003

*packs up souped up CZ*
"Sure why not? I wanna try this beast out anyway."
*follows Silent over to the Khraa VR*

Bogglesteinsky · May 2003

i got it anyway
"are you in such a hurry to be beaten?"

*taps a control panel*

"hmmm, we've got a choice of the two battles representing the gallant last stand of the tsa, Hera outpost or the Nancy space station, or we could just go for a quick frag match, you vs me vs the aliens. take your pick"

*sees terran and silent approaching*

"or... we could go 2v2, you and me vs them"

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

two on two eh? I'm down

maybe bad karma could officiate...

*moves next to z.x, stares at Terran and Silent*
me and him were first and second in urban training, you want some friendly advice on how to beat us?
here, a demonstration is in order
*bends over, grabs ankles*
okay, enough messing around lets do this

BadKarma · May 2003

*He was beggining to get bored in the tactics area so he dicided to get back donw to the simulation room. There he saw Stiensky, TAK, Terran and Silent preparing to have a go at eachother. He grins and decides to spectate.*
"Be damned if I miss this, its gonna be epic"

LucidReality · May 2003

"Yeah, im a weapons expert, my father desigens the CZ that is the norm for the TSA so i picked up a few things."

*Still waiting for the denial or permision to use GL in practice*

PFCNublar · May 2003

*eyebrow twitches*
*tightens my grip on my souped up CZ*
"We'll see. I didn't get assigned to Delta Detachment for nothing."
*examines the senario: sees it is a small area, both teams starting on opposite sides of the urban boxed-in area, entering then duking it out*
*looks at Silent, exhales nervously*
"You ready for this? I'll take the point."


Lucid, I think that you can use that GL in practice. Its just practice for Christ's sake, not blasting away aliens. Also, you might be waiting for a reply for quite some time...

SilentMurderer · May 2003

I'm allways ready.. My wife didn't die for nothing"
*Gets the look that this is a real battle*
*Scares Everyone in the room*
*Enters the scenario*

Bogglesteinsky · May 2003

"you ready tak?

good.

lets go"

*calls over the scenario intercom*

"ok guys. to give you a chance, we'll put on these blindfolds"

SilentMurderer · May 2003

[COLOR=yellow]*Gets angry*
*Enters scenario*
*shoots bogglestiensky*
"What did you say?"
*Takes cover from TAK's bullets*
