A had a busy weekend + monday, so forgive me for the lack of response until now.
DROP ME, AIM DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO SOMEONE
Sorry about that, I missed you on the initial launch. You'll drop when I update fully tomorrow.
Way ahead of you Yamato. Regrouping is SOP for drops anyway, since all the way back when they used cloth on strings to drop from.
Yo, Amyclas, Your radio is an earbud and a subvocal mike in your throat. No one can hear you unless they have one in their ear. speak up. What's your situation?
((You sure? I thought it said we have 'radios built into your helmets'. Unless I missed it of course.))

((I reject your reality and substitute my own. Pending GM retribution. ))
You are both right. I did say that your radio is built into your helmet, but, I like the idea of microphone implant in ones throat. So, we'll say that you all have the mikes built into yourselves. But, the actual long range uplink is in your helmet. If all of your helmets are destroyed, then you'll only have short range comms.
The idea being that if your helmet is destroyed, you are probably dead as well.
Also, you can activate and de-active your radios with a thought.
((Darn, didn't get to ask questions. Oh well, into the fray!))
Get into cover and check perimeter. How far to the forest? Start going for the forest once those going there are ready to move. Move to the objective along the edge of it.
((By the way, do we have an nco npc to command us, or are each of us supposed to just do whatever we fel like?))
Contact whatever we have in terms of field command.
:Yamato here. Our squad has landed well, 2 troopers unnaccounted for. No hostiles yet, some civvies though.:
Then, on the squad channel.
:Yamato here. Zeron, Pyronia, where did you land, and what's your status?:
Then he addressed his squad directly.
"So, now what? I'd say we regroup with the other two if we can and move up to the objective through the forest's edge. It'll give us some cover, and concealment from whatever ordnance they can throw at us. And get us out of this urban area, I'd rather not be blindsided. This ok for the rest of you?"
(Switched color to prevent confusion with the gm's color.)
Well, you will have people above you relaying info with the radios, and giving you objectives. Then you all just complete them however you want to. If anyone is still alive once this game has been going on for a while, there
might be promotions of sorts for characters who have survived large amounts of combat. Perhaps with those people leading their own squads.
Ask away with those questions, you have radio contact with command.
