The 1st Punitive Mars Expedition: Money In The Bank
« on: June 24, 2013, 04:47:27 pm »

<Destasis: 40%
Beginning memory dumps.>

About four years ago, the Mars Administration went offline. The last message sent to Earth was garbled, consisting of the following:

"...xenos... game... -ey're killing us all! HEL- ... <gibberish> ... <gibberish> ...  <transmission lost>"

It wasn't long after that the Titan Spacedock lost signal as well. The first ships, loaded with mechanical soldiers, were all destroyed by some hostile, unknown force. The surface of Mars was lost to visual sensors. Not just "We can't see it", but outright gone. The only things visible were a sizable debris field and some truly strange visual interference. The United Governance sent out warships; these were met by an unknown force, and a stalemate has been reached since then. At least, until now - all of Earth's industries were dedicated to overwhelming the Xeno defenses of the planet. The attack seemingly went well, until the rest of the Xenofleet appeared out of nowhere and blew hell out of our ships.

Where do you come in, you ask? Good question, soldier! You're a Space Marine. Earth's Finest, the first, last, and best line of defense against Galactic civilization. You and the rest of your squad crash-landed on Mars, and it is your job to sort out this Xeno mess.

The fate of the Sol system rests on your shoulders. HOO-AH!

Weapons
Standard-
Assault Rifle/Grenade Launcher (GA-36/Verones M12)
HC Carbine
Submachine Gun
Chaingun

Hand Cannon
Semiauto Handgun

Heavy-
Heavy Railgun
Turbolaser
Plasma Torch
Rocket Launcher
Vulcan

Energy-
Sniper Rifle (Light armor only!)
Blaster Rifle
Energy Pistol

Exotic-
Toxin Rifle
Phased Pulser (P.I.P.E.)
Bloodcannon (Fires from HO)

Psi-
Psi-Amp

Melee -
Monoblade
Gravitic Hammer (GRV Walloper)

Armor
Light armor types:
Scout - The bare minimum of armor. Very light, very mobile, and capable of the longest sustained flight.
Infiltrator - Very similar to Scout Armor, but given more reinforcement. It has been designed for enhanced optics and high energy use. Essentially, this is Sniper Armor.

Medium armor types:
Standard - Your typical armor. There's nothing particularly special about it, and it is a balance between strength, mobility, and protection.
Assault - Tough, limited mobility, and strong. This is the kind of armor you'd want to be wearing in heavy combat while still remaining maneuverable.
Engineer - A subset of Assault Armor that has been designed for high energy use, assembly, repairs, and the like. It can transmit energy and automatically comes with a "repair gun". While this gun can theoretically be modified to cause damage, it's a very bad idea that may result in the user being reduced to a small pile of "grey goo."

Heavy armor types (Restricted to General Mechanics employees):
Dreadnaught - This is a form of Assault Armor that has been loaded down with double-reinforced armor, bigger strength augs, and the ability to start carrying the big guns. This is the last armor that can achieve anything remotely resembling "flight".
Juggernaut - A specialized Heavy armor that has what is essentially a combination of a rocket launcher and shotgun, a quad RPG, quad autocannons, and lock-on missiles. It's slow, but carries the most firepower out of the armor types. You CANNOT carry other weapons while in Juggernaut armor.

Packs
Energy - Provides your armor with more energy and can be used as a generator.
Ammo - Holds more ammo, grenades, and one extra Invo space.
Shield - Boosts your shield.
Repair - Can be used to fix items and heal people.
Flight - Limited to Scouts. Allows for nearly unlimited flight.
Jammer - Invisible to mechanical detection methods like sensors, sonar, radar, etc.
Stealth - Invisible to vision, heat detection, etc.
Turret - A deployable turret.
Sensor - Provides tac-maps and increased detection of enemies.
Assembler - Engineer-only. Allows for the creation of objects through manipulation of RAW.

Grenades
Standard - Exactly what it sounds like.
Heat - Fire based grenades.
Flashbang - Flashy and noisy.
Camera - It's a camera, not a grenade.
Plastique - Stick, arm, run.
Concussion - Exactly what it sounds like. (Con-Shin)
EMP - Drains power from electrical items.

Items
Health Hypo
Psi Hypo
Strength Hypo (Muscle Stims /  'Roids)
Stim Hypo
Medikit
Recycler
Painkillers
Food Maker
10 Spare Ammo
10 Days of Rations
Ammo Maker
5 Targeting Beacons
Comm Device
5 Mines
Toolkit [2 Invo spaces]
Battery
Bullhorn
"Rope"
Optics
[Something else, must be reasonable.]

...sure. I was kind of hoping people would take "not yet open" to mean "Don't post because I am setting up and don't know how to lock threads", for the record.

<Destasis: 100%>

You stumble out of your cryo chamber, feeling slightly nauseous.

Goodall! What HAPPENED?

So much for the "first and last line of defense." There's bodies everywhere. Cryo chambers are leaking fluids. Wrecked shit everywhere. Up above, you see pulses and flashes, indicating the battle for the skies is still going on. Smoke burns across the sky, suggesting that this ain't a battle you're gonna win.

Over the short-range com, you can hear other people reflecting on the disaster, and reflect on your situation:

- Alone
- Limited supplies
- Middle of hostile territory
- Completely fucked.

Well, time to do something about it! You're not a Marine for nothing - take stock, form up, and get out before mop-up comes!

[The post is now OPEN. Wait until I approve before you post IC, though. No OOC thread, just put [] around your OOC notes. At the bottom would be preferable.]

The darkness was eternal, all-powerful, unchangeable.
She had stared into it for to many years, alone and unblinking, determined that it would not take her.
Now it never would.
Now she was lighting a candle.
