Actually, my grandfather served at the Berlin wall, and they had the officers take off all rank and insignia because the Russians would take pictures of people for espionage purposes. So yeah, you don't really talk about ranking if you really want to be secure.  I'm going to assume that seeing as it is turn five, that you need no new player?

I'll take all the players I can get fella. Welcome aboard!

Gunnar leaned by the wall, keeping his innards in.

"Ach....what kind of elevator was that?"

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Bump.

[Parsely]

Bump.

I was sort of waiting for ElfCollaborator to actually post an action, though I suppose what he last posted could be interpreted as "look around" or "wait for something to happen", but mostly I was just being lazy.

Actions up in a bit.

So, it occurred to me that at some point I would have to map out the complex, so I spent a few days drawing it up (not literally (if only)).
Here it is, tell me what needs to change, such as facilities that should be added, or if some of these might be combined into one:

Surface Compound
Block 1 - Commercial, Political, Delivery, Relations, Civilian Residence, Airstrip
Block 2 - Transport Hub, Main Comms, Command, Officer Training
Block 3 - Containment (Humanoid, low-Security), Detainment (Humanoid), Interrogation (Humanoid), Secondary Barracks (Police Force)
Block 4 - Storage, B-Class Ordnance Testing (nonexplosive), Proving Grounds
Block 5 - Barracks, Hangar, Recreation, Comba Housing
Block 6 - Forensics, Intelligence, Investigation, C-Class Ordnance Testing (chemical)
Block 7 - A-Class Ordnance Testing (explosive), Simulation Deck, Comba Trainers
Block 8 - Briefing, Global Ops Center, Secondary Hangar
Block 9 - Primary Storage, Maintenance, Refit
Block 10 - Development, Engineering
Block 11 - Production, Disassembly
Block 12 - Power
Block 13 - Experimental
This will go on the OP once I expand/streamline this.
I also started working on weapons. Want to see the names and classes and stuff?

YEAH THIS UPDATED
Oh it's a map. ... GOOD ENOUGH!
Yes please, I would like to see the shooties.

That would be so hype if someone actually drew it.

So far just ideas for names and nailing down all the weapon types:
Guns
Carbine - Wolverine
Marksman Rifle - Harrier
Assault Rifle - Mastadon
Light Machine Gun - Bear
Medium Machine Gun - Elephant
Heavy Machine Gun (vehicle) - Whale
Sniper Rifle - ?
Submachine Gun - Lemur
Shotgun -  Pike

Explosives
Rocket Launcher - Shrimp
Fragmentation Grenade - Asp
Stun Grenade - Frog
Mine (all-purpose) - Lobster

Melee (this will become MUCH more diverse)
Combat Knife - ?
Shield (buckler) - Stag
Shield (full-body) - Sea Turtle

The Rest
Microwave Emitter - Dolphin
Flamethrower - Iguana

The animal names sounded cool at first, but now they're not really doing it for me. They need to be more specific (like Blue Whale as opposed to just Whale). If someone can give them all with cool names without being unoriginal (like calling the Sniper Rifle 'lightning' or something) that'd be nice. It would actually be better if the names somehow didn't mean anything.

I'm planning on having many more weapons, especially melee and special weapons, along with light and heavy versions of everything.

Oh yeah, I never explained what Combas are did I? They're robots. One of them walked past IamanElfCollaborator in his last turn. They're chiefly weapons platforms but naturally there are plenty of support variants, as well as bipedal, tripedal (this isn't a word but you know what I mean), quadripedal (this isn't a word either but you still know what I mean), treaded, winged, and copter chassis. They're going to be awesome.

Sniper Rifle - Hornet?
Combat Knife - Wolf?

I thinking of specific ones, wolf isn't specific, but Hornet is(It the largest wasps)

When are we gonna get to see some chemical and energy weapons? Love the new stuff by the way.

You may also want to make a modification menu. For later.

You'll likely have some basic chemical weapons to start you off, energy weapons will need to be captured and researched though if you want them.

So we're essentially AMERICOM?

So we're essentially AMERICOM?

What's that? *googles*

Edit: *finishes googling* The telecommunications service? I guess. Except they hunt down aliens. And have an underground base. And have giant experimental mechs.
