Ariadne Guardpost Ii: The Evolution

Jaeger · August 2003

"I will, but first..."

*places his bag on a clear tabletop, unzips it and pulls out a badly beaten-looking bullpup carbine with the name "Rita" etched on an obviously modified heatguard*

"What? It still works..."

*takes aim on a second skulk and squeezes the trigger. Three spent cases make a hollow ringing on the deck as the hologram skulk winks out*

P-Khan · August 2003

*finishes off the porridge, and goes to fireing range. Sees Headcrab*
"Hey man, came to practice also?"
*Takes out a pistol resembling a magnum, but with more space for bullets. 20 bullets.*
"Just recieved this gun from home. It was my brother's. he used to call it Marsha"
*enters a closed room and presses a button. A door opens and real skulks enter, but they can't reach me since turrets don't allow them to get too close*
"I like to shoot real skulks"
*Starts shooting skulks*
"I don't get something Ed. Why were you pressed charges, if you actually saved us all? Just cause we didn't manage to save a ship they blamed it on you?"

Foxtrot_Uniform · August 2003

*Runs and grabs bag from under bunk back in living quarters. Swings bag over shoulder and then hurries down to firing range.*

"I need some target practice. Haven't had much trigger time lately."

*pulls out a Spas 12 shotgun, 'Rachael' is carved into the pistol grip. Enters the 'Skulk' range. Unfolds and shoulders the stock, taking aim at holographic skulks flapping within a bulletproof dome.*

"Anyone care to join me?"

*Fires 12 gauge shells, racking the shotgun with a satisfying -click click-*

spinviper · August 2003

*jumps on terran's back*
"Hello!!"
"Want some m4g1c wh1sk3y?"

Hey you cant pull out carbines and spas 12's if you dont have xects permition.

So xect can i have the stuff i pmed u about?

Foxtrot_Uniform · August 2003

I'm sorry.. i don't really know the rules... I'm trying not to be too disruptive..

spinviper · August 2003

Rules are on first page. Read them pls. Thx!

PFCNublar · August 2003

"Ayiee!"
*collapses to the ground under the sudden weight of Spin*
"Oww..."
*me gets back up, and lifts Spin to his feet*
"Aye, ello Spin! It's good to see your still around. I thought they might have done something bad to you for all that stuff you did on the W.T.Hell."
*starts walking over to the range*
"No b33r right now. Must stay sober, besides, I have to do my 200 rounds of practice today. Haven't done 'em yet. Wanna tag along? Mostly everybody's gone to the range right now."

Hmm, xect will most likely make your weapons "weaker" since they don't pack the technologically advanced/superior punch of the current shotgun, LMG, etc. He'll also probably want a backup story as to how and why you've got that weapon on you. Send it to him in a PM.

Quaunaut · August 2003

*takes out a standard TSA pistol, slightly modified, to slow down the bullet a little more, making it much easier to tear skin or mesh off of just about anything. Takes aim at the skulk, takes 4 shots, and the hologram winks out*

"Maybe we oughta get this thing to be a moving target? I always enjoyed those more."

Lord_Darkness · August 2003

*walks into firing range, helmet off, belt-length hair trailing behind*
"Hey guys, good to see ya!"
*notices Ed*
"What the hell are you doing here?!"

Quaunaut · August 2003

"My God. How did you get past the interrogations with your hair like that?! They cut mine right in there!"

Vragnor · August 2003

"Hi miss! Oh..sorry Dark. Did that thing get longer?"
*Sets bag down on ground and sits down. Proceeds to clean lmg and pistol.*
"Why is there a scope on this thing? So inaccurate it doesn't help"
*Rips scope off lmg. Attaches to pistol*
"This is better! (to weapons officer) Requesting scope alignment!"
*Hands in pistol and proceeds to load 75 rounds into 2 moving skulks. Both lose their head, and half their bodies*
" Need some more of these extended clips"

edit:removed underline, plain red mine now

NeonSpyder · August 2003

Eeep! what happened last game guys?! i missed everything beyond pg93! im assumin i made it off alive too?

*walks into mess hall, finds it deserted...*
*thinks to self* "i thaught we were all supposed to meet here after the breifing?"
*looks under table* "nope, no spinviper"

*walks up to serving table, and grabs a granola bar, and a serve of wheaties*
*sits down and thouroghly enjoy's weaties*

343_guilty_spark · August 2003

" Bah i hate shooting, i'm gonna raid the medic store here, seeing how you lot went through my supplies.
*Finishes off toast.*
" Ok i'm off, gonna raid the store, i'll try and meet up with you guys."
*Pats Ed on the back.*
" Nice to see you back."
*Takes slice of toast ands walks off.*

Mr_Headcrab · August 2003

*Ed turns and looks at Darkness*
"The Hearing's desision was that I be assigned to a Fronteirsman squad until further notice. Guess what outfit i got assigned to? *Ed smiles* "Also, they assigned me to Recycling duty during the trial , the W.T.Hell had a lot of scrap left over, but amongst it, i found somthing of yours." *Ed walks over to the locker and pulls out a rag with somthing in it.* "while i was under house arrestm i had enough time to get her working again, althoug she's still a little singed and needs a good polish, she works." *Ed moves away the rag, revealing an awefully famillar P 228, albiet a little dirty.*

Cyberoptic · August 2003

*I watch as the group departs to the firing range, wondering about all those heavy-looking things they carry. Definitively, this is worst than what I originally thought. I look at the station map and search for the recreation room, trying not to think as I head over there.*

spinviper · August 2003

*Walks to shooting range*
*Fires modded LMG at a fade*

spinviper · August 2003

We should cut darkness's hair.... he is WEIRD!!!!

EDIT: Can i try DMing?

xect · August 2003

Ok, just a question here, how many of you did NOT sneak in weird weapons? Listen, special weapons is the exception, not the rule. I think I'll let Wynona pass, "she" has quite a special position in the story now. The P228 goes too I guess. Everyone else will have to go with more or less standard equipment.

By the way, now we're at it, *I think I'm gonna get a font for Deral too (the commander from the W.T.Hell), to distinguish him from the story-telling

*Enters the room, looks around and spots the crew from the last mission.*
"Hey, seems all of you got to stay. Even Viper, despite your little "detour" last time <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>. Well, seems I'll be ready to go again shortly, those medics work wonders. I even managed to get fixed without them pumping those medical nanos in me, despite the fact that I kept commanding even though my wounds were worse than they normally allow. Better not get too much of that stuff inside me if I can avoid it, not even sure what those long-term effects they speak of are supposed to be."
*spots the newcomers*
"Hey, seems we've got ourselves some new blood. Well, I guess I'd better show you what happens when you're alone in a base with those creep"
*pulls up sleeve and reveals a scar looking like something long and sharp went right trough the arm*
"So watch your back out there. Of cause, I wouldnt have been alone if the guard team hadnt decided to die, but I guess that's life"
*Gets something to eat and sits down*

pEnGuiN_gab · August 2003

*Phases in*

"Anyone wondering whats going on?"

can i join the story again pretty pleaseee

Mr_Headcrab · August 2003

dont go on a killing spree and you'll be fine, just cant be the same guy from before, he became skulk chow

Foxtrot_Uniform · August 2003

*Throws Spas 12 in trash compactor, and then proceeds back to the messhall. Snatches another Mountain Dew and sits down alone. Thinks to self: *

"I wish we'd get moving."

P-Khan · August 2003

Hey xect, can I keep my Vladstok then? I had it during the first Adriane Guardpost.... 

*gets out of live ammunition/skulks training room*
"That was good"
*sees Cyberoptic looking at map*
"Hey, fresh meat, how ya doing? Name's P-Khan"
*shakes hand*
"So, where were you before here? Not Boot Camp I hope...."

Vragnor · August 2003

*Picks up scoper pistol. Fires a couple rounds into holo-skulk. Misses all but one.*
"Bah! These scopes just suck."
*Rips scope off*
"Wish they could've let me keep my AWM from home. Thing's so powerful it kills anything in its way, even with FF."
*Picks up lmg and takes apart*
"Hmm, anyone have an idea on how to improve the accuracy of this thing?"

Cyberoptic · August 2003

*I turn around when I heard P-Khan's voice and I shake the hand he offers me*
"Nice t' meet ya. Not 'xactly boot camp... got booted outta it... heh heh heh. You from the team who recently busted up' some alien buttock?"

Night_Shade · August 2003

I can't believe I missed the start of this thread. Damn. And apart from my field medical kit (left it in my quarters when on W.T. Hell) I have standard guns
Xect, question. I don't remember you ever saying anything about what I said last thread about medics starting at PFC rather than private. Could you please say something about it now, so I don't make an arse of myself again?
*wanders into mess hall and grabs a ration bar, then walks off to the firing range, munching on the bar as he walks*
"Hey everyone, how you been holding up?"
*looks around at all the faces, some familiar, others unfamiliar, then spots Ed in the group*
"Hey! Ed! How the hell are you? How'd that stomach of yours turn out? And what are you doing in a TSA uniform?"
*spots Deral, our old comm*
"Hey Deral. Heard you had a rough time in the infirmary after our little encounter on the W.T. Hell. That's one heck of a scar you got yourself there. Heh, next RnR we get you can use it to impress chicks with." *grins*
*looks at Cyberoptic as if studying a lab specimen*
"Booted out of boot camp? Great. I hope you know how to handle that peashooter of yours in combat."
*looks around the room*
"So yeah, what's happening?"

Cyberoptic · August 2003

*I look at Night shade, and I scratch the back of my head*
"Umm... yeah, I have an idea howta use the peashutter... or is it peeshooter?."
*Looks at Deral*
"Oooppss, sorry commander, hadn't seen ya. Grunt Cyberoptic reporting"
*I try to do a salute that won't look like I'm nervous*

P-Khan · August 2003

"Hey, Cyperoptic, relax man. In the battlefield that's the last thing you'll be worried about"
*takes out my trusted vodka bottle, and takes a drink*
"Yeah, I was with the guys on W.T. Hell. But whenever I remember it, I want to drink untill I can forget it."
*takes another drink of vodka*

Vragnor · August 2003

"Vodka eh? Good stuff. I got my own tho."
*Pulls out flask of gin, taking a looooong swig*
"Good stuff. Smuggl...My family sent it from home."
*Picks up nade launcher*
"Not very accurate but it sure is hella fun to blow sh** up <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> "

Night_Shade · August 2003

*sees Vragnor playing with a grenade launcher*
"Yeah, they make things go pop, but you're screwed if a skulk starts chomping on your ankle. I don't mind the LMG myself, but then most of my training involved my field kit - I just don't have the skill to handle the bigger guns."
