<table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (Frosty @ May 25 2003, 12:34 AM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> i think he meens we shoot, and wait till he tells us they dead, like the game master in a rpg would (go figure <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> )  </td></tr></table> 
so we don't start shooting till xect says that those characters have landed on the USS "whatever-the-hell"?

*hears Frosty say that we have to save their **** most likely*
"Looks like somebody's take the 'I am the ultimate BADASS' thing a little too seriously, eh?"
*looks at Silent and his comments about shotties*
"Well Silent, the shotgun is crap when they blast at you from long range when they get those little bird things. That's what some vet told me that a good number of his guys were 'spiked' to death or something. Creepy."
*pats LMG*
"But let em come close. I'll make sure that there's 'nuff left of em to make pork fried rice."

Were it come from? Okay, i'll make up a backstory for the Shotty <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Let's say that i got it from my wife when she died, the TSA let me keep it because she was the owner of it, she wanted it to come to me, it isn't modified, and i was moved from the informations department to the Battlefield so they thought that it'd be usefull with an extra powerful gun and they didn't have to waste money on it.

"Hehe, i know, but i have my TSA Standard issue pistol with me all the time anyway, and i never go out alone."

Frosty · May 2003

"Im not the ultamate badass, but i like to think im damn close <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> . Seriously though, those guys looked greaner than tropical grass. Oh well, maybe they will be able to handle it, heres hopein'."

So what is the status on my shotgun request? I'd like to know whether or not i smuggled those munitions for nothing"

PFCNublar · May 2003

"Lets hope so Frosty. Facing Khraa that just took down a good 20-30 men and munched out their base isn't what I'd call fun..."
*wonders a bit, then turns over to Silent*
"You know, If you had to turn on your pistol, you'd want to have some serious buck to boot with each shot right?"
*gets a nod*
"Give me your pistol. I'll rechamber that .45 ACP b*tch into a .50 AE demon!"
"It'll only take a good 15-30 minutes. Those guys should last longer than that, so it'll be done and good in no time."
*sees that he is nervous about it*
"Don't worry if you don't have ammo for it. I have an old vintage Desert Eagle in my room. I got it from my brother before he got deployed deeper into the quarantine zone. I'll give you the .50 ammo I have for it, which is a good 100-150 rounds."
*waits to see if he hands it over*

The speakers in the standby-room start commenting and reporting from the battlefield. Currently, the soldiers have arrived on the transport ship "W.T.Hell" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> and are starting to establish a base. Scouts have been sent to locate the hive that, according to theory, should begin constructing as the bacterium detects the marine presense.

Someone sticks a note into Frosty's hand: "weapon upgrade request denied because of resource shortage, weapons will be distributed once we have access to resources from the infested ship".

Frosty · May 2003

*Reads note*
"Typical, well, im guna go get one of those little CZ things. Freekin tightwads, protecting humanity for pennies on the dollar. Oh, and Delt, dont wory bout those Eagle munitions, you just need to fiddle witht he armory program and they can make em for ya, with the proper ff system. And Silent, dont let em fiddle with your pistal unless your sure you can handle a higher caliber handgun, doesnt take much to completely change the way it feals. Peace yall, im going to get that midget rifle they standard issue us"
*walks toward quartermasters room mumbling minor obsenitys about how much the lmgs suck*

Honestly though terran, it will take more than rechambering to transform one of those pistols, you also have to redo the magazines, which will probly drop from 10 to about 7 or 8 shells per. the width of the magizine loading area (handle) will have to be changed unless you want him to hand load each shot, you'll have to rework the recoil obsorbtion mechinism or he wont be able to fire 2 consective shots without going way off mark. when you switch calabers your entire gun has to change. if you want bang for buck, it would make more sense to holow out some rounds and put wax in the tip, make the shells shater on impact, tear things up from the inside, fun stuff

BadKarma · May 2003

Sorry for the break. Uh, at the beggining I had a shotgun plus I managed to get a vert grip for it. Should I keep it or should that be erased from our memories?
*Standing next to Silent, waiting for more news from the boarding team. Looks over at Terran*
"Hey man thats nice work your doing with those CZ's. I wouldnt let one of those REMF's (Rear Echelon Mother Fuc*ers) up on tactical catch you with one though."
*Turns over to Silent*
"Damn man, this is kinda tense. You know, i'd go for one of those beers about now."

PFCNublar · May 2003

yes well...that is somewhat obvious, except for the clip size. that would make the pistol cumbersome, an extended clip, so sacrfice your 3 rounds <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>. and the shattering thing. I though about hollow points, but that is just nasty. even aliens don't deserve having something traveling at hypersonic speeds tear into your flesh then shatter, sending shrapnel like stuff all over ur chest. that is very cruel. Besides, that is an upgrade from the arms lab probably. hollowpointed .50 AE. scary stuff.

"Well, fiddling with that program would be nice, but I think they might eventually get on our backs for having those stupid things give .50 caliber. some planets have outlawed them cuz they are 'inhumane to use.' But aliens aren't human, so too bad for those little f*cks! Anyway, when we get into a combat situation, I'll fiddle that thing during construction."
*looks at BadKarma*
"Hehe, the TSA needs better standard weapons. If it kills better, its good. I mean, the only people that might jump me are those stupid paranoid animals rights freaks who think we should shoot the Khraa with f*cking BBs and blunt our uber knives."
*wonders about the possibility of us getting moved out*
"Who commands if we get deployed?"

Frosty · May 2003

*Takes lmg from quartmaster*
"Cant beleive they standard issue this things"
*reajusts ammo belt to easily get at lmg magazines, cus every instant counts when your in the feild*


before anyone gets ideas bout commanding, it will probly be xect, or a npc (controled by xect) from the second shift (the ones down there right now) that way he has more control of our orders than in the last one

SilentMurderer · May 2003

"Yeah, lets go get a beer then Karma, i buy. What do you want then?"
*Looks at BadKarma*
*Turns to Terran*
"I don't care about if it makes it or not, the quartermaster was a good friend of, you know who, and i'm sure he'll give me a new one if this one gets borked."
*Hands over gun to Terran*

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

testing testing becuase it's early in the morning and I want to see if white can be gotten, ooh it can, thats advanced leetness
*grabs LMG, Grabs Pistol, checks armour waits for Xext*

xect · May 2003

The voices in the speakers continue to report the ongoing battle. So far, the hive has been located in the boiling room of the "W.T.Hell" ship, which, it turned out, had been used as an illegal processing plant for a number of "illegal substances"(what kind of illegal substance isnt mentioned). The base is getting ready, the most basic buildings are up and defenses are getting ready.

"everybody on the standby shift, please get tho the phasing room and standby to be deployed trough infantry portals" the voice of the commander announces.

And karma, I guess that shotgun was used for training only <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

SilentMurderer · May 2003

*Buys Karma whatever beer he wants*
*Heads for the IP Phaser*
"Looks like i might see some action after all, (Although i don't want to)"

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

*heads over to IP phase area, waits*

PFCNublar · May 2003

*is seen running towards the phasing room*
*catches up to Silent*
"Ok, I've done the conversions. The ROF is a little bit slower, due to the strengthened spring, which also means that it takes more strength to pull the trigger. I've modded this mag, but you don't have to mod the others. When you get them from the armory, they will come in modded mags with modded ammo. If you don't like it while your out in the field, I'll give my pistol. Its unmodded."
*stops for a long breath*
*looks around*
"Blimey, great. If we go down, we lose 1st and 2nd. What fun."
*looks around for a vacant ip to stand next to for phasing*

BadKarma · May 2003

Training shottie, I can dig it. On another note, If the hive was in a processing plant for drugs, are we gonna see aleins hopped up on cocaine, because that would add a whole new level of difficulty
*Follows Silent with much apprecitated beer in hand*
"Damn i owe you this one man, nothin much better to calm the nerves."
*Sees Terran with his modifed goodies.*
"Damn man your gonna be able to make good money with skills like that."
*Much calmer now, he arranges his ammo and equipment belts for fastest possible acess and waits pateintly for the IP phase.*

Marik_Steele · May 2003

*Looks at BadKarma's beer, then at BadKarma*
Hope you can hold your liquor. Just remember to get sick in the direction opposite me when we manage to kill the first skulk who nearly makes you its lunch.
I'm not much of a drinker, so I'll be doing my celebrating after we know the hive is dead, thank you.

Frosty · May 2003

*enters phase area, revolver in hand, lmg holstered on back, lighter and cigar case safely in there respective pockets, checks to make sure boot knife and belt knife are loose in their shiefs*
"Well if we're planning our victory celebratoin we'll need some real food, I'll cook"
*I crack a broad smile, but my eyes are still hard and aware*

not that hard to do white
or black
 wonder bout brown though

xect · May 2003

"Ok, stand by for phase operation. Phase-in of first support squad will commence in 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...G"

As the phase operator yells GO, you hear the phasing sound well known from training sessions, only this time it goes on for a split-second longer, and the destination isn't just a simulator next door

As you arrive at the base, you see that the ship is kind of old, definately hasnt been trough a check for years, even decades. You're in the mess hall of the ship, though the second shift people have already moved the tables out of the way to allow for structures, which thankfully are able to build despite of the aged equipment. The commander, Deral, welcomes you to the ship, probably the last welcome you're gonna hear for a while:

"Hey guys, good thing you arrived, the last recon squad got wiped out, so our defenses were getting thin. Better get the base finished before we try again. Also, we'll want to wait for the rest of the 1. shift to phase in, we're gonna need them bad in this place. Never seen anything this alien-friendly. I'm pretty sure these people never asked for permission to fly into the Ariadne Arm, they'd never gotten that permission if they tried. But then again, I guess that's their point of being here, the late recons reported that the smell near the hive was pretty 'funny' "

The commanders smile can almost be heard, it's definately not one of those strict-by-the-rules commanders.

"Got no sludge for wep's yet, gotta live with what you've got for now. Just make sure they don't eat us, you'll never get your large guns if they do"

Frosty · May 2003

"Wouldn't mind much if they tried sir, they'll find out we taste alot like hot led"

Marik_Steele · May 2003

Just point me where I need to be, sir.

BadKarma · May 2003

*Sees that he brought his empty beer can with him by mistake*
"Whoops"
*Throws can into the darkness of a corner on the opposite side of the room.*
" Well boys, nice to see we already got somethin started here."

Lumberjack_Wannabe · May 2003

*looks around the room in a confused state*
*mumbles*
"Zug-zug?"


mmm.... vacation.....

PFCNublar · May 2003

"Commander, you said you needed some building done around here? I'm the combat engineer of this group, so show me the way."
*awaits orders, which hopefully are related to that*


Thanks for the warning, Karma. Even though the last header he gave us said there was some base building, I'll play it safe.

BadKarma · May 2003

I'd watch that Terran, I think xect just wants us to bum around base till he gets back.

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

"uh, lets uh, get this building party started, as soon as we do this should we cap res or set up perimeter?

we wait for Xect

SilentMurderer · May 2003

"Yes sir!"
*Waits for further orders*

LucidReality · May 2003

Lets just say i phased in with you guys, no one noticxed cause im the quiet sit in the back blow shtuff up kind of guy

" I heard somone need .50 DE shells. I have a few to spare."

*Pulls out ivory handled DE and slams a clip home*

 Umm,..for the DE, lets say i got it from my father who was a EDF colonel before he died. If not ill delete this post.

PFCNublar · May 2003

Any day now xect. any day now...<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>. j/k.

*walks over to the armory*
*humming*
"Lalala...lala..."
*punches a few buttons, the armory gives off an error beep*
"Hmm-..."
*punches more buttons*
*gets an error beep*
*smacks it on the side*
*A cascade of LMG clips fall out*
"Oops."
*picks up needed ammo*

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

*runs over and humps armoury as well*
