    "Umm...ok. We have to call for help? With all due respect, I doubt they will send a dropship over here to save us unless the infection was cleared out, which it wasn't. And since we don't have a base, we can't even spam rounds anywhere."
    *gets a bit panicy*
    *coughs on cigar smoke*
    "Icky. On the ship, the ventilation would suck this godforsaken smoke up before I even got a whiff of it. How thankful I am for it, as I now see."
    *coughs*
    "Hey, P-Khan, you mind if I see your pistol? It looks a bit different from the standard issue, just a smidge in the barrel. Curious..."

    *remembers about lost P229*
    "You know how uncontious people can still hear what's going on around them? Well, I'm not leaving this ship until I get my gun back. Now give me back my gun, Shade. Anyone got some spare Cx-10 ammo? Most of my ammo is P229 clips."</span>

    *tosses P229 to Darkness*
    "Terran, the only way to find out if they'll send a dropship or not is to ask em. Darkness, I hate to say it but your other pistol is probably about two millimetres thick by now, with that onos trampling everything. If you want to go on a suicide mission to rescue what's left of it that's fine with me but I'm not scraping your carcass off the floor once the Kharaa have finished with you."
    *looks around*

    <b>We don't know if Boggle is dead, or if hes alive, part of a twist, etc. You can still post if your dead anyway, just you can't take part and talk to us. Think of it as spectator mode.

    <span style='color:blue'>
    "Hmm, I wouldn't see that as feasible. If we move out just to search for Boggle, we might end up in deeper poo. I mean, we're just men with guns right now. No medpaks, no ammo refills, no second chances. We shouldn't take risks. Besides, chances and statistics show that when the PG lights out, that means the other portal was destroyed and every human on the other side as well."
    *looks at Headcrab*
    "Well, why call them when we can just take a quick jog down to Cargo Bay 02, jump in a ship, and fly away? I mean, if we called them, we'd take the chance of them turning us down, and even if they do send one, we have to hold ground in some open-spaced Hanger Bay withhout real cover till it arrives. That could be quite a while, since TSA dropships have crap engines."

    *starts to do some strange movement with arms, constantly flapping them like a bird somewhat*

    <b>Hmm, back from my break visiting colleges, and I see some new faces. Glad to have you join us. Spark: thanks for differentiating yourself by using bold. P-Khan: mind-reading may be arguably <i>too</i> special a skill, and not just for realism reasons. You don't want to be claiming what other player characters are thinking because you'de be overreaching into their ability to form their own thoughts as a character, and you'd be reaching into Xect's realm of decision-making if you were to do so for non-player characters. If you can't come up with another idea for an ability, try to come up with a specialization you'd be likely to choose in TSA boot camp: marksmanship, first aid, technical, etc.</b>

    "I've got a feeling that our commander slammed the door behind us on purpose just to save our sorry hides, and now he's got bigger problems at base than we've got here.
