Enter Brick 3, sit as far away as possible from the serum guy.
"There are two of them. Oh god, there are two of them. Which way do I gowhichwaydoIgoWHICHWAYDOIGO!!" You scream, turning around in little circles seeing the two of them injecting their serums. You create a bit of a hazard in your panic, and the other grunts are getting annoyed.
Remind the officer about the mysterious serum that I signed up for.
"Well done, soldier! That's the spirit. Or the drugs. Jury's still out on whether you lot have souls or not." next mission, make sure t oalert me to the fact that you are the subject of an experimental serum. could be good, could be bad. We'll let RNGesus decide.

Climb into brick 3. Secure any harnesses or safety belts/mechanisms. Lock my robot arm into position holding the side of my seat.
((it hasn't yet, but I'll think about it. Maybe flak gunner or something, later on. Or something for the next bug hunt.)) Securing yourself properly? Holy smokes.

Head to Brick 4 grumbling about still being a private despite being so cool. Look for gum stuck to walls or under seats (if present).

(Is there a list of what each class have for items? Also, how do you get chosen for firing squad leader?)
((You also didn't list Brick 2.))
(((Unless you did that on purpose in which case, forget about this line and the line before it)))
((there isn't a list. I am too lazy. this game was designed on a whim, and a shoestring budget. Firing Squd leader is just a thing corporals do, so feel free to snag some privates. Just try not to be
too handsy about it, eh?))
Down here is where the Main action is happening this roundSo, everyone gets in, gets into varying degrees of settled, safety harnessed, and injected with mind and body altering drugs, and you're off! The doors seal, roll is called, the countdown is made, though you can't hear it. No, countdowns are for pilots. You are cargo. Before that thought makes you irritable, your world lurches suddenly, forcefully, and nauseatingly. And then, all is still again. for two whole minutes, all is still. and then the sound startsw. a low hum, which builds into a whining roar as each of your Bricks begins to rattle and shake with steadily increasing force. You can't even hold the vomit bags steady enough to your face to keep it from going everywhere. Good thing you were ordered not to eat this morning. Too bad for those of you who didn't listen. and your seatmates. And then the lighting goes red in your compartments. Looks like you are entering the hot zone.
(5)(5)(3) Bricks one and three are through without harm, and both land with a jarring thud. brick four takes a hit and is knocked about in the sky. Let's see what happens to the cargo
(2)(5)(2)(2) Well, Dug has been through worse. He doesn't even wake up. 'K,' being all cyborg and all, grips tight to his attachment and takes a few minor dings and scratches. an alarm goes off somewhere on his HUD. It's a yellow on a minor system, so no big deal. Mark it as "minor wound x2" or "minor damage x2"
The corporals each take a serious wound from things in the compartment breakign free and hitting them, or from being thrown about themselves. Note the location of your serious wound, OCE006 and Yo008.
And with that, Brick four is down as well, half on it's side, full of smoke and noise, the sound of water leaking in somewhere.
ReminderI will be out of town starting tomorrow, until Sunday.
