LMG MAGAZINES!!!!11four! 
*Picks up some of the mags that Terran dropped*
"Waste not.."

Marik_Steele · May 2003

*Calmly walks over to armory, and picks up exactly half as many magazines as I can reasonably carry*
"I shouldn't need any more than this. Say, Delta, see if you can remember to slap the Infantry Portal the same way if our comm can't use a distress beacon for some reason."

SilentMurderer · May 2003

*Walks up to armory*
*Pushes buttons*
*Shotgunshells falls out*
*follows mariks example and takes Half of the weight i can carry*
"Good thing she left this, i'll need it"
*Looks away*

LucidReality · May 2003

*Walks over to the armor whilst waiting for orders. I grab full .50 DE ammo, then fill my standard CZ ammo belt. I see other filing halfway, but i dont expect to die so soon and i expect to use every bullet i have, then i die.

Quickly glancing at the infantry portal i start to think about past soldier whove come throught portals only to be immediately chomped on by aliens.

I check my TSA issue knife and fiddle with it, eventually putting it away and mubling something about crappy steel and crappy sharpening.*

No need to get impatien terran, time will come. So far, you're doing fine in the base itself <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Commander: "Hey, I think we got a guy out there still alive. Somethings moving out there, something un-alien. Stand by to move out, I'm going to need you to get going as soon as the next shift arrives. Not before that though, don't want to be alone here with those creepy things, the screams from the recon group is enough contact for me"

LucidReality · May 2003

"Yes sir." *I radio back to the commander. I check my weapons to make sure safeties are off and turn back to the doors*

Umm, is there a chain of command or are we just kinda all privates or something?

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

okay boys, let's Mooooooooooove out
<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
*whole team looks at me in disguest as I mock the TSA training simulators*
do we get waypoints, or should we wander?

xect · May 2003

Lucid, the Frontiersmen don't use chains of command in combat. Whoever is in the mood commands, and then they work together to kill the aliens.

BadKarma · May 2003

"Great we get some action. Ok whos on point?"

Lumberjack_Wannabe · May 2003

"Mmmm..... lead.... let's go!"
*starts to over-actively look around the room*
*starts mumbling*

Frosty · May 2003

*Pulls out belt knife and holds it in left hand, revolver in right*
"I'll take point, just make sure nothing comes from behind me"
*eyes flick over to watch the IP's awaiting the next shifts incoming, then my eyes flick back to the entrances to the base*

Lumberjack_Wannabe · May 2003

"I've got you covered"
*gets behind everyone to cover the rear flank*

LucidReality · May 2003

"Umm, guys, the commander said not to leave until second shift arrives, so where are you goin?"

PFCNublar · May 2003

*looks at Lucid with a weird look*
"There is a guy out there. I don't know about you, but every man comes back alive. Well, thats what boot camp said. And I intend to get that guy back, alive."
*looks at the Ips nervously*
"Oh my god. By the time those guys warp in, that poor bast*rd will be long gone."
*grips weapon tighter*

Marik_Steele · May 2003

To commander Sir, I'm going to suggest you ask when that next shift plans on showing up. Otherwise I'm requesting permission to split into two fireteams, one to guard base and the other to find our non-Kharaa lifeform.
To others on foot Guys, until we scout far enough for the Comm to do a more comprehensive scan, we don't even know if that lifeform is human yet. Best case scenario is that it is human, and we can find out what happened here. Worst case is that it's not a human or a Kharaa, and we've got a bigger problem on our hands than any of us can think of.

Lumberjack_Wannabe · May 2003

"I think I'm going to be sick. It could be something other than a human life form..."
*looks around frantically*

xect · May 2003

Commander: "listen people. If you want to go out there is your choice in the end, I can't stop you. But you KNOW that there's not gonna be a base to return to if you leave before they can phase in the next team. How do you think the guy is gonna feel when you arrive and say 'hey, we're here to save you. By the way, the base is gone so you're doomed anyway'. Think before you act people, you've seen too many movies."

BadKarma · May 2003

"In any case boss I volunteer to stay at base and keep things in order."

PFCNublar · May 2003

*blinks*
"..."
*thinking to self*
"Yea, maybe I have seen Black Hawk Down a bit too much..."
"Besides, I hardly know this guy. For all I care, he could go down in a smoking ball of flames, like the first recon team. I'm hardly phased by it..."
*loosens grip on CZ*
*sighs*
"Well, too bad for that mofo I guess..."

Frosty · May 2003

*eyes again flick back to the ip's*
*thinks to self "Whats taking them"

Marik_Steele · May 2003

*Listens to commander with as neutral an expression I can make*
"Whatever you say, boss. But I at least want to think I'm doing something productive."
*Looks around at some of the tables in this mess hall that have been pushed out of the way for structures. Walks over to a mid-sized one.*
"Anyone mind giving me a hand pushing this on its side to set up some decent barricades?"

BadKarma · May 2003

*Walks over to Marik and helps him to start making barricades*

Bogglesteinsky · May 2003

Damn, you go away for a weekend...

I guess i got left behind inside the simulator, soo... ill phase in with the next team (if the base is still there).

in the meantime...

*Grabs a beer and some Ham sandwiches from the mess hall* 

well, the condemned man always gets a good last meal

SilentMurderer · May 2003

"Commander, i've got some suggestions if that's okay..."
*Waits a sec*
"How about building a base so that we save time and can move out as soon as the next shift comes in?"

xect · May 2003

Commander: "Uhm, you might want to try to take a look around, the armoury is over there, the IPs are up, a few turrets are in place. No sludge for more "base" right now. Anyway, the IP phasers on the guardpost ship should be charged back up in a minute or two, so you'd better get those barricades up quick so the next team will have an easier time defending this hole. This might help you a bit"

A welder drops from the roof, landing beside the armoury with a loud metallic sound.

Bogglesteinsky · May 2003

"come on, come on.

Why does it take so long for these portals to come back on line?

you would have thought that the R&D boys would have managed to reduce it. these extra seconds mean the difference between life and death, and when its the life and death of my buddies, i need to get there asap"

LucidReality · May 2003

*I walk over to teh armory, and pick up the welder, and set my pistol on top of the armory, not toss it on the floor like some of the animals in this army. I start welding vents and doors we wont be using. I start also to weld tables together to make more sturdy barricades. I then go over to the armory when im done, and set teh welder on the armory and pick up my pistol again.*

"I hope that helps guys, im getting a little itchy to shoot something, but not so itchy as to get my self killed."

Lumberjack_Wannabe · May 2003

"Man... this is getting on my nerves. All this 'waiting' this and 'watching' that. Bunch 'o bull, if you ask me."
*curses under breath*

BadKarma · May 2003

*Not being too terribly attached to his sidearm, he walks over the armoury and takes the welder.*
"Anyone want another pistol?"

Lumberjack_Wannabe · May 2003

*shifts eyes*
*chuckles*
