Lord_Darkness · July 2003

343, you do realise that the commander is out of the console, and we don't know if it's because of an attack, or if he's trying to meet up with us.

*somehow manages to hold onto remaining P229, even though uncontious*

Am I going to die?

PFCNublar · July 2003

Hello Guilty Spark, and welcome! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>. The rules are as follows:
-You can't control the commander (aka: xect/Dungeon Master)
-Pick a text color (stupid rule, I know. Don't tell xect I said that)
-Use bold text when talking outside of the RPG
Oh, and you might want to change the way you got in before one of us uses one of your actions. Doubt we can open that blast door. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> I suggest using the Phase Gate.

*team roster flares, showing another member has been warped in*
"Hey, uber. We got another guy. Yay, more cannon fodder."
*looks at the Night's distribution of mednanos*
"Be careful. Just give Ed and yourself enough so you guys can walk and stuff without feeling too much pain, and then give Darkness the rest. He looks really fscked (yes, I said it that way. fskced) up."
*shoulders CZU idly*
"Oh...well. The hive door was pretty thin. This is a 6-8 inch thick blast door. Doubt they can walk through it.

Night_Shade · July 2003

Ooh, so now I'm the Night? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
"Yeah, I know, I know."
*Checks Ed over to make sure all his bones are in place, then administers a small quantity of nanos*
"Okay, don't move for the next minute and I'll check those bones to see if you need more."
*Looks Darkness over, then begins examining his limp body, still somehow clutching a P229*
"Damn. That onos really made a mess of him. I doubt there's a bone in his body that doesn't have multiple fractures."
*Gently removes the P229 from Darkness's hand so the bones can heal properly*
"I'm just gonna give him as much med-nano fluid as I can, and hope it can fix him up reasonably well. It's gonna take huge surgery to fix most of it properly, but the nanoes will have to do for now. These things have been known to really badly botch up bone repairs this extensive."
*Draws about 3/4 of the dispenser's nano supply and begins administering it to Darkness, watching carefully for any abnormalities. Fortunately none seem to be developing*
*Night's broken rib forcefully reminds Night of it's existence*
"ARGH! ..ow.. Xzilen, would you do me a favour and realign that rib of mine, then give me 5cc's of nanoes?"
*lies on the floor, facing the ceiling*
"Damn its gonna be good to get out of here."

* colour isn't working for me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'> * [COLOR=blue]*The blast doors not opening and the object pouncing down towards him, he quickly looks around, he sees a vent above him, he stood up and knocked the vent grate out of place and jumped up, he clings onto the vent and pulls himself up, but his LMG is too long.*
" Get off me you cheap manafactured piece of plastic !" He curses to himself, he undos his LMG strap, it falls to the ground, he gets a final burst of strength and pulls himself up into the vent, he activates his helmets flash light, he hears a growling noise behind then a clanking noise as it died down.
" Don't ye dear think of hurting a scotsman."
* He slowly crawls along, his armour scraping agasint the sides of the vent, he pulls his pistol out and carrys on crawling.*
" Is anyone in this place ?"*He carrys on crawling and comes to a intersection.
" Awww CRAP ! Just my luck!"[/COLOR=blue]

Bogglesteinsky · July 2003

you have to close the tags

"I'll go and see whats happening. One of you had better take my welder incase i dont come back."

*drops welder on floor and steps through the PG*

spinviper · July 2003

There is no vent and u cannot make a vent appear outta no where. READ THE RULES!! hehehe

343_guilty_spark · July 2003

*crawls out of vent and goes home, seeing how this game is to retarded for him, kicks Viper in the shin on the way home*

PFCNublar · July 2003

*looks at Boggle go thorugh the PG*
"Hmm...hope he comes back. Wouldn't want to find out the main base and CC have been wasted."
*wonders*
"How do we get off of here anyway?"

Color tags are opened as <color=blue> then closed as </color>. Just use [blah] and [/blah] instead of <blah> </blah>. I only used <blah> </blah> since it doesn't activate and is good for examples.

Mr_Headcrab · July 2003

*Ed sits up*
"If worse comes to worse, and we cant use whatever ship you came in, I got a way out"
*Ed stands up*
"dang, those nanites work fast... Who has Wynona?"
*Ed starts looking around for Wynona*

xect · July 2003

A few minutes after boggle steps trough the phasegate, the lights go out. The phase is dead.

Sending a PM to boggle

PFCNublar · July 2003

*takes Wyona off a clip on my belt*
"Here, carried it for ya while you were out. It's one heavy sonuva gun."
*blinks at the sudden light change*
*when eyes adjust to the sudden darkness, sees the PG is out*
"Erg...that can't be good. Well...I'll say we're officially screwed. How could we get out of this ship again, Ed?"

There you have it. Tell your loved ones, when xect comes knocking on the door with a Private Message, it means your dead. Happy happy joy joy.

343_guilty_spark · July 2003

<color=blue>*Trys again, spawns into base VIA IP, looks around and loads up on ammo and waits.*</color>.

xect · July 2003

Spark. Use brackets [] for your tags and pick a color terran is not already using (possibly with another font or italics/bold). By the way, spawning into the base is not a terribly good idea, since I just killed the phase and you'll be unable to join up with the rest of the team. For once, I'll let you warp into the middle of the group magically <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

P-Khan · July 2003

Hi everyone! I know that it's a bit late to enter the story, but could I enter it? If so, could I please have an idea of what's happening? I mean, I read that the marines are traped somewhere and that they are unreachable, but nothing else.
Thanx! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

343_guilty_spark · July 2003

bah i'll use italics.
[Magically spawns with everyone, stands their confused by what's happened]
" Hi everyone, what's going on ?"

xect · July 2003

Sorry, I use italics. Try reading back a few pages and pick a combo that hasn't been used.

P-khan, read the first few posts in the thread to get to know the rules. Then read the last pages of posts so you know what's going on. Then I assume you're just in the middle of the squad, since all normal channels of reinforcements have been busted <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

P-Khan · July 2003

Thanx xect!!

*after being quiet during all the time, stands up and arms LMG*
"Think it'll be a good idea to prepare for the worst"
*stands by in a dark corner, and waits*

BadKarma · July 2003

Did someone manage to drag me out or am i still passed out behind the door?

Night_Shade · July 2003

*touches headset*
"Boggles? Boggles! Come in Boggles! Commander?"
*...Nothing but static.*
"Damn. I'm starting to think that we need to be doing something about getting evac."
*looks around*
"Hey Ed, any way we can get in touch with Ariadne Station?"

PFCNublar · July 2003

"Personally, I'd sh*t my pants if I had a spare pair of 'em. We are screwed! S-c-r-e-w-e-d!"
*gestures at Karma*
"Damn...Boggle shoulda got a medal or something fro volunteering to go through that PG as scout and found Karma hidden in a cornor when we were evac-ing. Silver, at least Bronze Star posthumously at least..."
*looks at the new guys*
*thinks:*
"Well, we can either use 'em as cannon fodder to get outta here, or we can haul out with 'em included. Choices...bleh."

Hope that answers it, Karma. Boggle saved you. Xect, could you confirm Boggle's death? Pleash? Not just the comm cut the PG off to keep us from coming back/strange conspiracies.

EDIT: Response to post below.
I thought it. I didn't say it. Unless you can read minds P-Khan. Besides, I wouldn't do that. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> Also, I can't. Unless the Dungeon Master says so and gets you killed *cough* Boggle perhaps *cough* <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>.

P-Khan · July 2003

*rises pistol and points at Delta|Cpt.Terran*
"cannon fodder? I might not speak english very well, and I might also have a bad temper, but what you just said sounds like nothing good. dah?"
*gets out of corner with pistol still aiming*
"how about explaining this?"

Responding ubove:
I know man. This is like D&D right? It's just that at the start of the post (rules) xect says to get into character, giving him personality, etc. So I thought that being this short fused, russian dude would be cool <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>. It's nothing personal, or that I don't know the rules, just trying to get into character. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Night_Shade · July 2003

*looks at P-Khan sternly*
"Can it private. That's an order. The Kharaa are trying to wipe us out and you point a gun to another soldier's head over two words? Jesus. Besides, that bullet won't do anything to Terran. Didn't they ever teach you about friendlyfire tech? Now holster your weapon."
*looks at Terran*
"Hey Terran. Seeing as Xzilen's been struck deaf would you mind fixing up this rib of mine? Push ...here... like so. Only harder."

PFCNublar · July 2003

*looks at the pistol*
"Ooo, thats a shiny barrel. Looks smooth. I'd like to see it after I fix his rib if you don't mind."
*crouches next to Night*
"Ok, I'll do it, but if I screw up, I like to blame it all on Silent, but I can't."
*pushes the rib until it clicks, then activates the medstation*
*sees Silent raps me on the head with his hand, then smiles sarcastically*
"Owie...I'm dying <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>"
*rubs head*

Night_Shade · July 2003

"Ow........that's better. Thanks Terran."
*Stands up as the nanos take effect*
"Well, I'm all out of ammo and there's no armory here. Can someone spare a couple clips?"

P-Khan · July 2003

*makes face as though didn't like Night's order*
"Dah, dah"
*slowly walks back to dark corner, looking at Terran with a face of disgust. Grabs a ciggar and lights it*
"Yobaniy peedir"
*throws a clip to night and starts looking around to try and find a way to get out of the room*

Xzilen · July 2003

(Sorry, I've been away, I didn't go deaf <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>, and by the way, I think you should make it so there is FF and what not, it adds tension, gives more ROLEPLAYING to it all <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>)

[B][COLOR=orange]*Hands Night one of four remaining LMG clips, and one of his remaining 3 pistol clips*

"Any of you guys have a Cig? I'm getting very tense here"

*Starts to tap foot lightly impatiently and nervously*

Frosty · July 2003

*Puffs on his cigar*
"No cigarets, but you can try one of these if ya want. High quality stuff."
*Holds out a cigar to Xzilen*
"I got a good bit of lmg clips left, your welcom to em night."

BadKarma · July 2003

*Snaps out of the faint*
"Uh? Uh, where... Oh jesus I passed out didn't I? Oh **** what's happend?

Xzilen · July 2003

*Takes a cigar from Frosty and inhales back as Frosty lights it*

*Lets out the smoke from his mouth and nods at Frosty*

"Thanks mate, you know, the first time I had one of these, no one told me I wasn't supposed to inhale cigars.... I threw up quite wildly"

*Nervous laughter and fidgety puffing on his cigar*

Mr_Headcrab · July 2003

"The only way to contact the station is to tap into the com system, should be easy enough, we should be close to a substation, and a Mutter access terminal. Charlie show me..."
*Ed suddenly jumps over to Darkness's unconsious body, starts padding him down, and pulls out the remnants of Charlie's Revolver from under Darkness's side*
"Thanks for grabbing that, Darkness, but i think you'll be more comfortable with it not jabbing you in the spleen." *The revolver's hammer and cylender are crushed beyond reconition.*
"A memento,... Anyway, Last time i checked, the com system was still operational, so Mutter should be able to access it, and if not, Cargo Bay 02 is our only other option."
