Mr_Headcrab · August 2003

*looks over at Jaegar* "Your a pilot? know how to pilot remotely?" *Ed picks up his PG-CRB .41 and takea aim downrange, he fires off a clip, hitting in a wide spread* "Dang weight, its lighter than what im used to..." *Ed walks to the locker, pulls out a Laser aiming module and slaps it on the gun. He flips the laser on, strangely, its green. He takes aim down range and fires off the clip, empting in a tighter grouping than before.* "Much better" *Ed turns off the laser and places it back in a holster hanging on the door of the locker.*

PFCNublar · August 2003

*me stumbles a bit out of the firing range, clearly embarrased*
*walks a bit hunched over over to the table where the sqaud is sitting*
*me takes a seat, and then quickly pulls my shirt over my head, covering it*
*starts muttering*
"I am a bad, bad person...I am a bad, bad person..."

Lord_Darkness · August 2003

"Looks like you'll be needing that laser sight if you're deployed with us, Ed."
*checks score, reads 24/26 succesful hits*
"You know, I never got around to telling you guys about me. Real name's Anthony Wilson, I'm from Toowoomba, a town in south-east Queensland Australia. Lived a normal and boring life, immersed in games, namely ones from around the late 20th and early 21st centuries, some obtained illegally, don't tell anyone. I met Erin in grade 10 at Downlands College and, well, you know what happened with our relationship. I started Hapkido that same year. About two years ago, before I joined the Frontiersmen and after Erin and I were engaged, she told me that she got a job on a transport frigate, turns out that transport frigate was transporting illegal weapons and substances. She said that we'd get married after she got back. I joined the Frontiersmen, really, to pass the time and liven up my life. Course, I never thought that my first mission would be on the same ship that Erin was on, or at least what's left of her."
*accidentally fires P229, hears swearing from other side of the range*
"Sorry, Terran, my finger must've slipped."

NeonSpyder · August 2003

*see's a lot of old faces and a few new ones (hopefully in the cafeteria, or wherever we all are now) sits down*
*continues eating 'wheaties' and listens intently to everyones stories*

*finishes weaties*

"I, er, well, that is... *clears throagt* I was the security cheif for a Neutian asteriod mining colony, i mostly handled all the electronic stuff on-board. that is, until the kharaa attacked us. i lost my whole family! *sniffs* and it was my fault too, i panicked, and I fled the control room instead of locking out the infected sectors. the colonists didnt even have a chance! they were overrun before they could reach the escape pods!, all 200 of them died. except me, i ran to the command console escape pod.

after being repremanded by the neutian authorities I joined the TSA to get back at those F****** kharaa, and hopefully, to redeem myself...

*clears throaght again*
*wipes almost unoticable tear from eye*

"sorry, my shrink told me not to talk about it."

*ahem*

spinviper · August 2003

*Walks behind terran silently*
*Gives him a shock by saying* "You are a good, good boy!"

Cyberoptic · August 2003

*I listen to the stories*
"Heh heh, ya guys really have this motivaiciun stuff fer joining here. Me feels shamed, I jus' join 'cause I hadn't a better choice, ya know?"
*I take a look around, seeking officers*
"So, ya guys know what we're gonna blow up this time?"

Night_Shade · August 2003

"If it's us, I swear I'm coming back and haunting you."
*looks at everyone's firing range readouts*
"It's good to know I'm with people who can shoot better than I can."
*pulls field kit off back, opens it up and starts going through it, making sure everything is there. It contains basically everything required for first aid and minor surgery.*
"Yep, it's all there. This time maybe I'll bring the damn thing."
*heads to caf and draws himself a coffee*

PFCNublar · August 2003

*me peeps out of my shirt*
*sees Spin*
"Thanks..."
*hugs him a bit, then pulls my shirt off my head*
"Cyber, your not the only one who joined here for a pretty weak reason. I wouldn't have joined if I didn't run out of tuition money. Only reason I'm here is for some lovely tuition money, after which I will probably get back to my college education. Or, if I like it here in the TSA, might go into a ROTC program instead and come out an officer."

Foxtrot_Uniform · August 2003

Apparently, modded weapons are ok?

*Goes casually to locker and pulls out a heavily modified LMG. Returns to conversation.*
"My story? I don't have much of a story. I just thought 'Space? Why not? Killing aliens? Sign me up!' You know? Who doesn't want to be some sort of space-hero?"
*Holds out LMG for all to behold*
"You like my LMG? It has an attached foregrip, attached flash-hider, and i removed the scope. I also chopped off the solid stock in exchange for a foldable one. I'm pretty satisfied with it."

SilentMurderer · August 2003

*Heads for the kharaa simulation room*
*Mumbling something about revenge*
*Walks into a range*
*Empties shotty in a couple of secs, drops shottie, takes out pistol, empties*
*all bullets hit within a 4 mm radius of the center*
*Takes up shotty, reloads, reloads gun*
"those **** will pay!"
*Grabs a bottle of vodka from my backpocket*
*Drinks it all up*
"... the motherfucking kharaa will pay......"

"At least you made it.... Terran..."

Jaeger · August 2003

I'm pretty sure there are no modded weapons, with the exception of Crab's Wynona and a couple others. Lucky git, I miss my carbine. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> 

*fieldstrips and cleans sidearm until satisfied with the slide action*
"This reminds me of an old story I heard from a pal in boot. Seems the British used to have reliability problems with a certain bullpup, SA80 I think. After a couple years and over a million in research and design, turns out the infantrymen weren't cleaning them right, heheh."
*reassembles sidearm and fires one more round down the range*
"There we go, dead center."
*safes the sidearm and twirls it into a hip holster, earning a sour look from the range sergeant*

Cyberoptic · August 2003

*I look at terran with eager interest, wondering to myself that I might have found someone who could understang my own reasons*
"Heh, money? good reason, if ya ask me. But whas that 'bout aliens 'n crap I'm hearin'? Bugs me, ya know, why ev'ryone is speakin' 'bout 'em, jus' dont get it man."
*I shrug my shoulders*
"Reminds me of this one time at the camp. We got some r 'n r, so me goes into this r 'n r room and sees one of those dratted computers, ya know?. So what the heck, I thought, let's do some fun with it. So I turn the thing on and there's this bunch of things coming outta it, ya know?. Then it stops and says like "Press any key". Man, I musta spent ten hours trying to find the cursed any key. Heh heh heh. Can you believe I didn't see it?. Musta been those crappy keythingies they have... wish they put 'em on english, ya know?

Paper · August 2003

*I sit a few tables away from the group pretending to be reading while listening in on the conversation, praying i'm not noticed*

P-Khan · August 2003

*clears sweat, beleiveing no one heard him*
"Cyber, I must tell you, my cousin is a very good shrink. Go see him sometime, maybe he will help you with this bobming problem"
*sees someone peeking into our group. gets up and goes towards Paper*
"What?"
*throws self down on a chair, and sits*

Cyberoptic · August 2003

*I scratch my head, while my face bears a HUGE interrogation sign*
"Yo, P-Khan, err... like thanx fer the offer, man, heh heh heh, but I don't think I have a problem with bombing, ya know? justa I like to blow stuff up. Ya know, there was this one guy at the camp who jus' liked to collect things, like heads or bones o things like that, ya know. Besides, it's like the thing I do, my job, get it?
And, err.... what's a shrink?"

Night_Shade · August 2003

*mumbles quietly to Ed* "It's probably a good thing that we don't carry anything more explosive than grenades - and they have friendly fire. I can't believe they let that guy sign up, let alone get through."
*looks at Khan curiously* "Did you say something about black ops? Anything you wanna share with yer squadmates?"

PFCNublar · August 2003

*me faces Silent*
"Yes, I made it, after getting bitten, parasited, and having heavy objects fall on me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>. Damn, that reminds me, I have to take my pills for that parasite. Supposed to kill it in around 2 weeks of usage by poisoning it. At least the pill is tasteless...really <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>."
*me pats him on the back*
"Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to kick Kharaa arse. Just wait till the next mission."
*heads out of the room and goes to medbay for my daily dosage*

Cyberoptic · August 2003

*I look around, watching the people talking betwenn themselves. I guess that, as usual, I've talked way too much for what's good for my own health, or so I jugde from the faces of those around me. Well, it's like that, Scire, tacere, the golden rule of those who want to survive the officers and other bacteria-like lifeforms...
I get up, extinguish the rest of my cigarrette on the nearest's solid surface and walk out of the room, heading towards my own bedroom.*
"Heh, guess I've said too much 'bout blowing things up... mebbeh a couple of r 'n r by my sovereign self will quiet their nerves..."

P-Khan · August 2003

*jumps with Night Shade's remark*
"M... me? Black-ops?.... Uh... I.... me...."
*takes a deep breath*
*THINKS TO SELF* "calm down, calm down man"
*turns to Shade*
"Me? Black-ops? I.... uhm.... never said anything about black-ops"
*takes out knife and starts to fiddle with it, very nervously*

Khaim · August 2003

*Gets out of his bunk*
"Aww crap overslept breakfast again... Not like it would be good anyway..."
*Walks through the mess hall and into the firing range, picks up lmg.*
*presses a few buttons to toggle on a pair of skulks and opens fire*
"One dead one with a pair of bullet holes, still pretty bad with this gun." *sigh*
*Walks back to the mess hall and sits down at an empty table with a glass of ice-water.*

Hope you got my PM Xect. BTW how do you get these damn font tags working >.<

Foxtrot_Uniform · August 2003

"What do you guys think of what I've done to my LMG?"
*Broadly smiles*

Paper · August 2003

*Acting suprised i look up from my book*
"Hey there! Papers my name and killins the game. And as long as were talking about blowin stuff up grab me some orange jucie concentrate and the sluge they pass off as oatmeal and i'll wip you up some grade A napalm <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>."
*I walk over to the snack bar and grab a package of MnM's*
"Thosands of years and still the greatest"
*I cram about a dozen more into my pockets*
"one bill to whoever guesses how many reds in this bag"

BadKarma · August 2003

I call no color. And i'll assume i died in the old story. But i'd like to keep the kharra specialist skill if i may
*Eats quietly, observing the actions of his new squadmates*

Night_Shade · August 2003

Karma, you're a slacker <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
Foxtrot, looks like a TSA grease gun <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
*notices Khan getting awful jumpy*
"You did, but I've got a funny feeling you're not actually allowed to discuss it, right?"
*slowly moves one hand towards his holstered pistol under the table, just in case Khan does something with the knife*

Quaunaut · August 2003

Sorry bout no posting guys, I was at school today. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

*Listents to everyone, wondering if there was some secret camera somewhere, some reality show or, somethin, because this ragtag bunch of idiots seem perfect for big brother*

Mr_Headcrab · August 2003

"Ed walks over to the riring line, and Picks up Wynona, he folds down the rear stock, takes aim at a HoloSkulk, in a flurry of shells, the clip empties, all but 2 rounds hit their mark. Ed walks over to the Range officer* "Sir, requesting my NyJack Emulatior clip."
* The range officer hands over a dinstinctive orange clip, Ed inserts it into Wynona and braces for impact, The roar is deafining as the rounds tear through the hologram, the realitive damage counter, jumps from 275 (the average for most weapons) to "-|-|-" . As the clip clicks empty, Ed begins breathing hard.* "Can cut through the ranks like a hot knife through butter, but it takes a lot out of ya."
*Ed puts Wynona's saftey on and puts her back in the locker. Ed looks back at the range officer.*
"Still dont trust me enough to allow me take her with me around the station, yet?"
*The Range officer shakes his head.*
"Fine, just have an MP meet me with her in Launch Bay 3 before a mission, as per orders."
*The range officer nods. Ed heads out to the Mess hall/Rec room to get a soda.*


 A quick refresher to new players on Wynona, She's a FAMA-P 9.0 , the only one in existance, a Prototype for the "Fusion Assisted Matter Accelerator Model 9". She's a nasty peice of hardware, she can fire "NyJack" rounds, Nylon Jacketed Francium bullets that detonate on contact with water and are highly radioactive, not nice to be shot with. Oh, and a pic

Vragnor · August 2003

*Drags self out of bed and gets in shower*
"Are we ever gonna get a mission?" *sigh*
*Heads towards messhall*
"Tea, tea...where's the tea? No tea? I'll have to fix that."
*Runs to room and grabs a white bag. Goes to kitchen, boils water, drinks tea, chokes on dredges*
"Oh boy, that hurt"
*Hits a few keys on nearest console*
"New holosight shipment? Sweet! What time? 5 minutes ago?!"
*Sprints to firing range arms officer*
"Requesting..two...holo..sights....please..."
*collapses*

I'm not a very good runner <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
That Wynona looks awesome, you make that yourself?

Edit: do we even have a dm anymore?

Mr_Headcrab · August 2003

Accually, it's cobbled together with a Sheena 6mm pistol for the grip, the Doom 3 AR as the body, and some editing, she's one of my first models <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Vragnor · August 2003
