That eel is bigger than you are! -grumble- (1) You go to cut off a dorsal fin to wear as a scarf, and in the middle of your battle cry, the living eel splashes swamp water into your mouth. It tastes like every toilet in the world got together for a New Years' Eve party, got thoroughly wasted, and puked on a vintage shag carpet from the seventies. And also eel. Gross. Your battle cry turns into a nauseated gurgle, and you end up butchering the dorsal fin. Your eyes are watering and the world is spinning.

Your gum gets the status "chewed." kh008 helps target you to your foe. (5) He kneels and puts his hands into a stirrup position, and you run, step into his hands, and are launched! The sun glints off your standard issue, regulation, UV filtering faceplate and you sail onto the back of the living eel! (2) you lose your knife as the eel starts thrashing, but you grab it by the gills and hang on tight!

People are wearing eels like accessories, riding them like wild stallions, throwing each other into the swamp, and shooting into melee, and here you are, talking about careful? "Calm under pressure." That's what you are. That or "weirdly timid during a routinge mission." Really depends on the outcome, and how much the person filing the paperwork hates your face. Spoiler: it's 'a lot."

TM camp. too bad your laser carbine isn't rated for these distances. Ah, if only they'd given you the sniper hormone mixture at week seven of your gestation period. And also a sniper rifle. That'd have been sweet! Well, you can make do with a standard grunt laser, you guess.

You spawn as an electrolaser Heavy Grunt. You get an electrolaser carbine, an electrolaser bat, a suit of insulated armor: one layer, and are more sturdily built than your acverage grunt. the carbine is for close range work, primarily on living things and sensitive electronic devices. The bat is to royally fuck shit up in melee. half your platoon is in the woods now, so we'll have you spawn in that group, heading toward the enemy encampment.

Let's see about driving those tree monsters into the enemy camp, then. Should be a fun show.
((Three turns it is, then. Or less, as it'll probably turn out.))
(4) you herd them toward the enemy camp. they burst out of the cover of hte trees, fly across the almost solid ground, and begin frying themselves on the electric fence. let's see. we'll say you started with about 20 of the suckers, and the fence took out about oh... call it 3. But they shorted the fence in one section, so you ground poiunders could get throug hthere if you can cut the wires.

Ignoring the pain in his arm and leg, OcE006 carelessly lines up a shot on an enemy soldier.
"I've got you now, commie scum!"
Click. No laser?
OcE006 brings his Lascarbine up to his face, trying to determine the problem. A small LED screen reads:
"'Out of bullets'?! Laser weapons don't even use bullets!"
A passing, comically oversized, bullet rips through OcE006's left elbow, pinning his upper arm to a nearly tree.
"Medic?"
help?
(4) a medic runs out, under fire, and starts patching you up. that doesn't stop The Other Guys
TM from shooting at you, of course. (5) on teh bright side, you figure out whatever the problem was with your laser. Or at least, if you didn't figure it out, the read out still switches to "charging."
Designation: CW004 'K'
"Platoon": Brick 4
Unit type: Cyborg Artillery
Health: Cyborg limbs. 1/2 plates of armor.
status: Minor Damage x2, Major Damage - Left Arm.
inventory: gun, helmet, 2x Integrated Laser Arms, 5x Large Ballistic Units, 3x Guided Missiles
character points: Chimera First Aid, "Eat me! Eeeeaaaat meeeee!" "Rig the bodies," "We'll call it a draw"
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.
I just wanted to be a stealth-artillery-cyborg!
Leap into air using supercool cyborg legs, fire regular grenade downwards at enemy, grenade explodes, land, repeat. Try to move back towards the front lines while doing this.
Or just run back towards Brick like a coward shooting grenades at the enemy if I can't feasibly leap clear of the regular grenades' blast.
EDIT: Actually try heading towards OcE006 ultimately, preferably screaming at anyone near him in an attempt to scare them away.
Changed my action a bit (see the large bold "EDIT" for more) to help out Egan.
(6) you erupt out of the swamp, trailing slime and muck like some abomination of a semi-aquatic metal baby being forcibly evicted from his spite filled mother's womb, and fire two grenades, as your cyber implants allow per turn. They hit the water, and send geysers of grime, blood, and parts flying. You kill 2 of The Other Guys
TM, and land in front of OcE006 with a splash. "It's odd, seeing someone else' body parts like this. i'm used to seeing my own." You say, casually, as some entrails float by, to be pecked at by the local wildlife.

"GRUNT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK THERE! CHARGE UP AHEAD AND PROTECT THE DAMN BADASSES!"
As my Grunt goes on a suicide run, take a potshot at any Other Guystm that get distracted.
(4) You convince your grunt to run out and shoot, screaming all the while. He wades out twoard the group of badasses, whether to protect them or to hide behind that shiny metal ass, you can't be sure. (5) but he's effective at least, and takes down another of the Other Guys
TMMeanwhile, you bravely cower in the woods and shoot from cover. (6) you kill one! the others note your position, though. Looks like one of them is on the radio. Thaaaaaaat can't be good.
