USELESS! USELLLLLLLLESS!
Scream for a medic.
(6) you stumble about in crispy agony, until you fall at the feet of a medic, who is wielding an odd, giant syringe with a very wide nozzle. looks like a hose. he promptly hoses you down completely, covering you in a sticky, thick, iridescent goo. It gets everywhere. The medic cuts off what's left of your uniform, and tosses aside what's left of your backpack. Mark those off your inventory. Your wounds are now [treated], but you are naked, goo covered, and a tad sluggish in motion. as Space Jesus intended. Glory to the Empire!
Designation: CW004 'K'
Platoon: 6 (formally
Unit type: Cyborg Artillery
Health: Cyborg limbs. 1/2 plates of armor remaining
status: Deafened (1/3)
inventory: gun, helmet, 2x Integrated Laser Arms, 4x Large Ballistic Units, 3x Guided Missiles

character traits: nope
Unlocked classes: Grenadier, Artillery
rank: Private
Note to self: (Just so I can remember what I can do)
Artillery: Fires ballistic and guided long-range, high angle attacks. standard ballistic ammo is unlimited. Carries 5 large ballistic units, for attack against buildings nad transport, and 3 guided missiles, for long range, accurate shots. Generally will require a spotter on location, or otherwise able to transmit firing coordinates.
Cyborg: A standard laser is built into each arm, but must be deployed to activate, and cannot be deployed while the launchers are active.
You have 2 layers of armor, the ability to lift about 2 tons, or carry about 1 ton, and are capable of running about 20 mph, and leaping about fifty feet horizontally or twenty vertically. You have integrated communications equipment in your head, and multiple wavelength eyes - just select normal, infrared, UV, or lowlight.
Waaaiit, how did I misread that turn?
Oh well. Let's see...
Retreat a bit into a safer place and continue bombarding the artillery housing with large ballistics. Decide to pitch my "HUD texting" idea to command at some point.
((if you die you lose your cyborg body, but you will still have cybernetic options to choose from.))
(5) You find an emergency shelter and snap the padlock on it, descending into the gloom before turning to shoot again at the throbbing phallic abomination thrusting vulgarly at the sky. (1) The sudden change in light levels is disorienting, and you have to override a couple alert signals. You'll be ready to try again next round.
Platoon:8
Designation: HC003
Unit type: Grunt
Health: OK?
Status: I'm fine.
Inventory: gun (bayoneted), helmet, backpack, gum
Rank: Grunt
((Assuming my being "shot" implies "Shot and killed"))
Arrive at the temporary command structure. Check the quad for any dead Demo-men, and "acquire" thier explosive charges. If successful, begin setting these charges at the base of the enemy command bunker.
((shot and killed is correct. I try to specify, but that one slipped by me.))
(2) most of the bodies that are visible in the quad are either charred, or in bits. it's pretty nauseating, really. You can't find a demoman at all. Well, with the ordinance they carry, they probably could be found all over. Just not in any useful quantities.
Quad Death Rolls:Artillery West fires, almost straight up. it takes a while for the ordinance to reach zenith, pause, and drop. (2) It hits in the Quad, but isn't an instakill. Let's roll for damage.
CW004 'k' got himself into a good cover location and does not even get a roll.
(6) Yo008 is far enough away that all the hit does is harden his fire retardant shell. He is now comically stiff. he can waddle about like the giant Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters, but ... well, there is no but.
(1)HC003, like the demoman he was looking to loot, can now be found all over the place. He's dead.

Rank: Corporal
(1) your gun overheats and sends up a warning signal. Something is wrong with it.

Rank: Private
Run towards the objective. If I see an Other Guytm, shoot him.
(1) you run into artillery west. It's a bloodbath in here, and some odd sound is messing with your balance. you fall over.
Wait for the next group of hollering, slightly suicidal troops to head out and begin hollering with them.
You .... get your character sheet in order. and bold your actions soldier! this is not the interwebs. Reason and calm discourse have no place here.
(6 )you scream like a lunatic, or an Imperial Grunt. Hard to say, they sound so similar. And then you follow the guy above into artillery west, and fall over next to him.
Artillery West Death Rolls:(5) (6) Zr007 and Sn002 crawl away from the artillery unit as fast as tehir wobbly limbs can carry them, and the disorientation lessens noticably.
(1)Pork001, on the other hand, bleeds out from his eyes, ears, and nose, until his brain is fried. He dies.

(4) you run up to floor three, avoid stepping into liquid hot, and shoot in the direction your scanners tell you enemy life is: up through the floor. You can't say that you hit anyone, but you won't necessarily tell anyone you missed either.

I am in floor 3 and every enemy there is dead so.
Calmly search a fire extinguisher, if you remember basic safety rules correctly there should be one in every floor.
I remember basic safety. But do The Other Guys
TM? And why aren't the fire suppression systems going off anyway?
(2) you see the remnants of the red line indicating a fire extinguisher on the lower alf of a pole over where the building has begun to collapse. That extinguisher is long gone. the other one is on the other side of the flames. Figures.

Floor 3 Death Rolls:Just gonna roll for the floor collapsing. (1) yep. (3)(3)(2)(2)(1)
Zii008 and Hat008 are both saved from serious injury by their body armor. They both need to remove them from their inventory though, as they are damaged beyond use.
Oce006 is seriously wounded by the ceiling collapsing a bit on him.
Jag005 takes a maiming wound from teh collapse (4) but does not die. Yo can lose two of your damaged limbs, or the one undamaged one. Now, let's see if history really repeats itself for you: roll for entrapment. (2) ahhhhhahahahahahahaha. sorry, you are caught under some rubble. No suffocation or anything though. I'm really sorry, it just ... really bad luck. You can remove one more limb to escape though, if you like. Or just try to use your badass tunnelling skillz.
Ynk005 is killed by the collapse, buried under the rubble
Floor 4Charge up to Floor Four, and shoot as many of The Other GuysTM in the head.
just gonna try and skip floor three eh? (6) you get up, dodging through the combat that has begun on floor three and rushing up the stairs to floor four. You are alone, exposed, and facing opposition. There is a hot wind blowing from the left, where a wall and ceiling used to be. You raise your gun, try to control your breathing and (1) -click- That's a problem. What did you do? gotta fix that shit quick!
(4) CAH003 takes some disorganized laser fire from The Other GuysTM and gets winged a bit. It's pretty minor though.
