1750 GREENHEART TIME, MAY 21st, 301 P.L
ERROR: FAILED TO CONNECT TO INTERNET TIME SERVER.
Arthur Staunch (Megggas):You walk around for a bit. The spawn seems like a good place to grief, no? But there's probably some kind of spawn protection present. So you decide to move on to fertile waters. The rainy wasteland, to be exact.
You come across a place to the north where the rain suddenly stops at a boundary on the dirt. It must be a place where the biomes switch. This new biome has a dark sky and much clearer weather, and you can see a group of people out in the distance. Player or not, you can use the swarm to your advantage here, so you run at them, closing into medium distance before they react.
(3) They fire at you with their rifles from a distance. [Evasion: 3] You are unable to dodge bullets, unfortunately, [1+1] and the bullets tend to be very effective at damaging your armor. That's unfortunate. Really. But you don't feel any virtual wounds at all--it looks like this armor is highly effective against impacts (1 damage).
Attracted to the gunfire, apparently, the red fish cease to accost you and instead fly at the enemy soldiers. You hear cursing over the VoIP in French.
(It's quiet due to distance, but this was implemented to prevent premade teams from getting an advantage)

Drive over the infirmary. I really should go about securing a nice hat for myself. The hierarchy must be established.
You drive over, peering through the small slit at the driver's window. [3] As it turns out, your situational awareness in this thing is crap, so you can't tell when you are about to run into the infirmary until its too late~
For curiosity's sake, you decide to turn the turret. It rotates extremely fast, and there are a few sparks from the batteries connected to the motor as well.

You hear a loud rumbling sound, like the clanking of parts and the strenuous activity of a motor engine. Then, the rest of the wall comes down.
Nyar is inside a huge pyramidal tank thing. It doesn't have treads though, so perhaps it would be considered an armored car instead.
The turret on the huge car begins to rotate--and you hear a loud squeal as the motor tears through a quarter of a turn in less than a second.
The pod can be easily rolled out of the building, slid through the giant hole in the wall, and then tied to the armored car using the rope
With the pod in tow, the motor seems strained, but you're not sure if that's not just normally the case. It's carrying an awful lot of armor.

Paperwork: You are considered refugees in the ongoing war
[5-new trait] Before helping the others, you check underneath some of the rubble. Somehow, you find a loaded pistol.
A giant vehicle comes bursting through the wall before stopping abruptly. It rides on four wheels, but it features huge pyramidal sloped armor and what looks to be a smoothbore gun mounted on a turret.
Cueball gets to work moving the cryopod you came in. You see blood in the gel, which might be yours.
The doctor seems to have given up on convincing Cueball. She huddles over the body and feels his pulse, then sobs.
