Salvage Chief's Log
The boys got back from another milk run. No promotions this time, but Xantalos did have an impressive kill.
Looking at the base, I see that we have a lot of empty bunks. It's time for a recruiting drive!
Through my contacts in various agencies, I requested seven new recruits. Not all of them will do, but hopefully a few good ones get through.
Shit. Alien sub detected. Scramble the flying subs, this bastard can't get away!
...and he won't. Damn. Wish the ship had come down intact.
Finally! That sub pen is gonna be a lifesaver in dealing with Indian Ocean USOs.
Time to order a Barracuda...
...and some storage for the ammo and weapons of the sub.
The mechanics said the gauss rifles were done today. Thank God!
Now I can have them get to work on manufacturing clips.
The soldiers arrived today, but there was a mix-up with the names listed. Here are the real names of these soldiers:
Camp Tramp: A right bastard if I ever saw one. He constantly argues. Still, he's good in combat.
Jixiu: Not even sure if he knows that he signed up for a special forces unit. When he came in, he was rambling about how submarines work. He signed the transfer papers without even looking.
Sir Trouserworthy I: Ooh. This guy's a tough one. His family's in a bit of a feud with Ragnarok's family. I'd better keep this one on field missions, away from Ragnarok at base. He looks like a good shot, at least.
Vladimir Dimitri: Ignoring the misspelling of his name on the transfer form, this guy is capital-E Evil. He's constantly drinking vodka, speaking in a Russian accent, and plotting about how best to kill off an entire city. At least he won't betray any of his own. He does have standards.
Terry E. Einstein: Believe it or not, this guy is directly related to Albert Einstein, the physicist from the 20th century. He's a bit miffed that people only ever knew him for his relation to his...cousin? Something like that. He'e been doing some interesting research into psionics, but I don't think anything will come of it...
Nick Parker: This guy's got good reason to hate the aliens. Back in the First Alien War, his entire family was wiped out in a terror attack on Paris, where they were staying at the time. He loves to burn things, and is so arrogant and bloodthirsty that he might try to take on an entire alien force single-handedly.
Max Zeal: Not sure what's up with this guy. Whenever he mentions aliens, he always says "foul" and dismisses them as being "faithless". Keeps muttering something about a god-emperor or something, too. Really don't know what that means.
