"I'm with you Ric, I didn't join the Frontiersmen for babysitting missions. And Terran, odds are that there's enough bacteria on that station to start an infestation."
"I think we all know who'll be going into the computer network to find any research files on the Kharaa."
"Just don't do anything stupid."
"Hey, I learn from my deletions.

Bogglesteinsky · November 2003

"hopefully i can get some rest now"

spinviper · November 2003

Sorry guys I've been erm, busy. So xect did you get my PM? Rearrange it as you like. And can I get out of the med room?

xect · November 2003

Yeah, got your PM. I fixed the stats.

The ones still in the medbay recieve a note with the briefing instructions, and are told that they'll be able to leave the medbay tomorrow before the mission. Not much else happening now.

Khaim · November 2003

*Wanders off to the sleeping quarters*
"Nighty night"
*Falls down on the bed and promptly falls asleep*

PFCNublar · November 2003

"Infestation? Still there. I dunno, I think the Kharaa might have wasted all the res on that station doing just they're normal life functions to survive. It has been quite a while since the outbreak of the new evolutions."
*shrugs shoulders*
"But meh, I still don't mind going in with a weapon. It's like the infantryman's teddy bear <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>."
*starts to walk off to my quarters*

Lord_Darkness · November 2003

"I hear that, Terran. G'night guys."
*heads off to quarters, putting the PDA in sleep mode before Merc can say anything*

spinviper · November 2003

*I stalk terran as he walks back to bed*

Richter_Grim · November 2003

"Yea, just about time to hit the sack...."
[Trys to secure some victory beer and whiskey for the next mission, to be used AFTER the mission]

*Crawls into bunk and falls fast asleep*

Night_Shade · November 2003

This should be obvious, but.
*watches the group dissolve as people head off to their bunks, and heads off to his own, stowing his med kit in his locker on the way*
"Night guys."

xect · November 2003

Morning comes

Richter_Grim · November 2003

*Wakes up* "Uhhh..... morning allready? Blah..."
*Hits the showers and then down to the messhall*

"Oh boy, it's pancake day! Mmmmm.....pancakes..."
*Get's a big plate of pancakes and coffee*
"Where is the syrup? Oh there it is" *Pours syrup all over the pancakes, then goes and sits down a table*
*Says a whisperd prayer over his food, then starts eating* "I hope every one get's up on time to get some."

Mr_Headcrab · November 2003

Inever found out if i could take my dropships, so i'll assume that's a "No"

 *Ed, surprisingly enough, wakes up early for once.*
"*Grumble* Grumble* stupid *Grumble*-- Hey! Are those Pancakes!?!"
*Ed rushes over and gets a plate. He looks at the syrup with a quizzical look*
"Looks like that sample i drew from the Onos, before half the squad decided to have steaks..."
*Ed shrugs, and douses his pancakes in syrup.*

Night_Shade · November 2003

*roused by the smell of pancakes*
"Is that...nah, the galley staff can't cook THAT well, can they?"
*hits the showers, and surprisingly enough gets a hot one this time*
"Hey, a hot shower! Wonders never cease."
*gears up, picks up med kit from locker, and hits the mess hall*
"Well I'll be. Pancakes. ...Maybe this babysitting job is a suicide run and they're trying to soften us up."
*grabs a stack of a dozen pancakes, grabs a packet of margarine and heads for the table*
"Mornin Ed, Grim. How you guys going?"
*dollops the marge on top of the stack, and pours syrup over the top, reading the label afterwards*
" '100% Genuine Imitation Maple Syrup. Contains MSG.' Great. Well, at least now I'm guaranteed the pancakes will taste good."

Khaim · November 2003

*Wakes up after hearing night yell about hot showers*
"Sweet tap-dancing jesus hot showers today?! YES!"
*Gets showered then into his armor before grabbing his PDA and heading off to the mess*
"Pancakes today too? Will the wonders never cease!?"
*Grabs a stack and sits down with the others*
"This is looking to be a good day guys, hot showers, pancakes, and a easy mission to take none-the-less!"

spinviper · November 2003

*steps into shower*

"Bliss... a hot bath..."

*changes and walks into mess hall*

*graps pancakes and syrup and sits down next to Night Shade*

"Finnaly, some decent food!"

PFCNublar · November 2003

*wakes up*
"Eh...unusually cold..."
*goes out of room with crossed arms, trying to be warmer*
*starts to take a shower, and sees its cold*
"Meh! Not helping!"
*grunts through the shower anyway*
*leaves for the mess hall feeling really cold*
*takes some pancakes and sits down next to Spin*
"'Ello Spin. Hope that shoulder of yours is alright. We're going out on a wee mission today after breakfast I hear."
*takes a bite of the pancakes*
"...cold...pancakes...cold...syrup...cold...cold..."

Bogglesteinsky · November 2003

*falls out of bed and wakes up*

"uhh?"

*shakes head, trying to clear the fog, then gets up and staggers into a shower*

xect · November 2003

People finish their breakfast, and the time is almost 8. The dropship has arrived at bay 5 to transport squad 2 to their destanation.

PFCNublar · November 2003

*looks at my watch*
"Eh...just about time. Dunno about you guys, but I'm going to go get suited up."
*walks off to the lockers*
*puts on my gear and then heads down to the armory*
"Yes...hello. I'm Private Terran requesting my weapons for today's mission deploying from Bay 5."
*person asks for the weapon specs*
"Oh, TSA LMG M92A1 4.7mm of the Assault Rifle Class and a Cx10 Pistol. Max out ammo, please."
*recieves weapons and holsters them accordingly*
*walks off to the waiting room*
*sits down and grabs a newspaper lying around somewhere*
*reads*


For and explanation, that's my custom weapon. It's just the custom model that BrigaderWolf released in the Modelling Forums. It's also got the nifty characteristics of an Assault Rifle, but loses the advantages of a SMG. I think its fair because my character can't really handle an HMG due to relatively small stature <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>. And of course, Xect cleared me on it.

Richter_Grim · November 2003

"Mmmmm..... pancakes." *Finishes up, clears his area and heads out with Terran*

"Do you think there's any chance the'll give me that Grenade Launcher back? *Suits up in his armour, secures his weapons belt and loads a pouch FULL of jelly beans* "Hey, want some for the trip, Terran?"

*Heads over to the armory* "Can I get my Grenade Laucher back that I brought in from the last mission?"
*Seeing the look he's given* "Fine, fine, just give me the standard LMG, Pistol, Knife. And can I get max load out for the weapons?"

*Heads out to the waiting area, sees Terran already there* "We should ask command if they want anything else while were out on this milk run. See if they want any bread or sugar."
*Pulls out his PDA and checks his mail* "Oh look, a letter from home," *Reads letter*
"Heh, my brother finaly made his way to forman on the loading docks of Giddion Station. Oh, and my mom says she's knitting me a sweater for my bithday, awww. "

*Starts writeing a letter back home*

Mr_Headcrab · November 2003

*Ed finishes up eating and cleans up*
"man, i dispise riding Shotgun"
*Ed walks up to the Armory officer.*
"Requesting key for locker 0-MG 14-G, please?"
*Ed picks up the key*
"Thanks"
*Ed walks over to the locker, opens it, and pulls out his PG-CRB .41 in it's holster, and straps it on.*
"Good Mornin' Wynona"
*Ed picks up Wynona and activates her, the sound of the cooling fan spinning visibly calms Ed*
"Ah... White noise" *Ed notices a blinking icon on the HUD* "Woot, firmware update installed, i can finally bring up the sensitivity on the trigger."
*Ed adjusts the new settings as he walks towards Transport bay 5*

spinviper · November 2003

*walks off to the lockers*
*puts on my gear and and pulls out the modded LMG from the last mission*
*joins terran in the waiting room*

"So whats on the news terran?"

Lord_Darkness · November 2003

*suits up, grabs PDA but doesn't bring it out of sleep mode yet, look at my katana, considering smugling it into the mission, but decides against it. heads to armoury*
"I believe you have my weapons."
*is handed LMG, knife and Cx-10*
"Hey, I don't use Cx-10s. You've got my Sig P229s in there, hand 'em over!"
*the armory officer requests my ID, I hand him the card and the Cx-10, after checking the card he gives it back and puts my pistols on the table*
"Thanks. Can you give me a full ammo load as well?"
*heads to bay 5 after loading up, brings PDA out of sleep mode*
"Good morning all!"
"You sound cheerful."
"I just had the first good sleep since you decompressed my off that disc the first time."
"I see."

Gwahir · November 2003

Xect offered me the chance to get in on the RPG.

*Wearing his armor but carrying his helmet, PDA (standard PDA, no modifications), and a ration bar, Gwahir is seen running towards the armory*
*Just before he arrives he drops his helmet*
"Shoot.."
*Bending over to pick it up he drops the PDA and ration bar*
"Darn it!"
*He begins to pick it up but just leaves it there for now*
*Speaking to the armorer*"Just the standard equipment please, I think I'm late."
*While the armorer is getting the equipment Gwahir picks up his helmet and brings it down over his still shower wet head, noticing he can't see a thing he lifts it up, turns it around and places it back down before tucking away the PDA and opening the ration bar*
"Thanks"*taking the equipment, he places clips in the weapons but doesn't load them. Finally, he runs off only to come back.*
"Where is the transport for that mission leaving today?" *Checking the list the armorer says bay 5*
"Right"*turning to leave then thinking better of it*
"Where is that"*He gets directions*
"Thanks"*Finally going in the right direction Gwahir goes off to meet up with the squad, leaving the armorer behind who was still shaking his head*

Night_Shade · November 2003

*stares, bewildered, at Gwahir running past on the way to the armoury*
*enters the armoury and nods to the armourer*
"What's with that guy? Standard kit please."
*takes LMG, pistol and knife from the armourer, thanks him and heads off to the locker room, retrieving his field medical kit and double checking that everything's in there, including half a dozen ration bars acquired yesterday and 2L of medical nanites*
"Right, that's everything."
*heads off to Bay 5*

Khaim · November 2003

*Wakes up after having dreams about exploding fish attacking him*
"Man weird stuff..."
*Heads off to the armory after snagging his PDA then and grabs a LMG and standard pistol off the rack*
"Crap hope I'm not too late..."
*Holsters his weapons and runs at full speed off towards the hangar, reaching it breathless*
"Hey... Guys... give me... a second... To... Breath..."

xect · November 2003

Minutes later, the dropship slides into the darkness, towards the research station where it all began, towards the origins.

Bogglesteinsky · November 2003

*runs after the dropship as it disappears into space*

"WAAAIIIT!! COMEBACK!! YOU MISSED ONE!!"

"oh well, looks like I'm scrubbing decks till they get back..."
