Read who posted the sheet :P
I just randomly called him Jackson for no reason at all. Besides for the trololo factor
Really, no reason at all?


...Oh, I see the invisible text now.

Well played, sir.

I take it the rookies don't have a chance of getting in?
i could be medkit slave

Rookies are bad at medikits though because they only get one use :/

Not like we have anyone who gets more than one use right now...


@paladin.

Bah. Ok, sure. But mastacheese has already claimed a nickname of 'Danger' so you'll have to go with something else. Ranger, maybe?

 I often seem to miss things, so feel free to do whatever with Ishmael. As for the terror mission, well, when you gotta go, you gotta go...

I'l change his nickname to "Garden" then.
It's an anagram of danger.

It's an amalgation or whatever you call it fo danger.

Noted. I'll give you the South African guy, he's got the best stats of the available guys. Any preference on armor color?

@Erils: Yeah, he's still in the med bay recovering from inappropriate touching by an alien.

Good luck, fellas.
I'll only come if we have a shortage of volunteers- I'm pretty sure we have plenty of squaddies for the mission.

-- COMMANDER: All right, troops, I need the best for this. Centurion, you've come highly reccommended by the Mexican government, so you'll be leading this operation. Rickenbacker, Ishmael, Krauss, make us proud out there!

Centurion: Si, Commander!

Much gratuitous fist pumping on this end.

Krauss will take the Heated Ammo. I don't take him for must of a Pistol man. For now though, I think Krauss needs a good break from the action. I'll let the new guys handle the next few missions. :P

Shredder rocket, easy.

=======BRUTAL KING DEBRIEF========
SOLDIER: JANE RICKENBACKER
INTERVIWIER: TARN ADAMS

(Interview start).

TA: Hello, Sargwant Rickenbacker. Congradulations on your recent promotion.

RB: Yeah, yeah. I know you guys always want to gab on about how I feel and shit after the mission, so lets get this over with so I can take a shower.

TA:... as you wish, Sg. This mission was the first to have mobile civilians in. How did that make you feel?

RB: It didn't. Well, in truth...

TA: Please continue.

RB: It was annoying. They were getting in the way, providing hosts for those bug ones - the chyrssalises or whatever.

TA: Chryssalids.

RB: Whatever. They died the same. Can I go now?

TA: Very well, sg.

CONCLUSIONS: subject seems to have little compassion for others. High aggression levels could be troublesome in event of lull in combat. Combined with the incident in medbay, I would recommend this soldier is kept active, else she may become... unruly.

I do not have a clue what consumables are like, and resilience sounds like the difference between death being around every corner and always getting a chance to react. So put me down as defaulting to resilience but if someone feels as though I could turn into some sort of awesome grenade factory(are grenades consumable? honestly, the term "consumable" would apply pretty accurately to bullets though they generally doesn't make the cut...). I am decidedly displeased about how much missing I am doing, if there are consumables that give me good odds of promptly removing a single target quickly then that would be in character, otherwise I will stick with the ability to dodge enough to turn plasma to the eye into plasma to the armour...

Consumables are stuff like Grenades, Flashbangs, Medkits, and the like. Basically anything that you get limited uses of, compared to things like the Scope that are basically permanent.

So do I, funnily enough! :)
Heat ammo really comes in handy, in my experience, anyway. Same with shredder rockets.
Remember: never leave home base without a Heavy packing Shredder rockets and Heat ammo!
