Explosive personality

The orc wakes up to being exploded, and you are flung back, landing on your ass, the railgun smoking as you realize it lit the air on fire briefly. You pick up his various loot items, including TWO GOLDEN SPACE ARMY RATIONS, likely looted from the dead, they are incredibly rare to come by, and are probably filled with prizes. you pocket it for later and move down the corridor.

as you move down the hallway, you hear sounds of a heavy battle going on, before coming to a door, which opens automatically. it reveals a rather large cafeteria, currently being fought in. on one side, humans and aliens similar to the one you captured, all wearing the wimpy void suits fighting against the space orcs, who are using a mixture of slug throwers, pears, and angry, starved rats. the humans and the "good" aliens are on the opposite side of the "cafeteria", and the orcs are surrounding them, however, it seems they have a severe lack of railguns to assist them. you not that none of the occupants of the room has noticed you, and you can probably leave for another section of the ship if you would so want.

How do you get to the opposite side?

[Kassire]

Open fire on all those dirty orcs! With the railgun, naturally.

[Yottawhat]

How big is railgun anyways? I thought it was a big gun emplacement.

[Vivalas]

Shoot the railgun up at the ceiling and hope for the best, in the hopes that there is more spaceship above and not just void.

[Maegil]

If we can see both sides like that, I suppose we've got them all nicely enfiladed. Fire one shot at the orcs, turning as many as possible into make-up for everyone else.

Rain of Red

You take a good look at your rail gun, noting how the barrel ends at three meters, instead of the full six. three of those meters had to be removed, and your not quite sure how you can even lift it up in the first place, but regardless, you pull the trigger. you are pushed back as the shot guts a full line of orcs, and temporarily deafens you. Several of the orcs turn to you looking insurmountably angry, and they each pull out war clubs. your not quite sure you can win in a fight against them with a unloaded rail-gun, but you do not a line of area with no orcs that lead straight to the human front line, however your gonna have to do something drastic before the orcs catch up to you if your gonna sprint all the way there, or else it is gonna devolve to melee combat.

Reload while we speak: "Oi, gitz, I 'ave da most biggest dakka so I iz ya new boss! Now, kill dose filfy 'eretic 'ummmies afore I hafta plug ya wi' anoda one!" Wait for the old boss to show himself trying to deny our claim, and shoot him.

[wer6]

These orcs are distinctly different then Warhammer 40k orcs, in the fact that they are distinctly murderous ot any other of there non-kin, atleast, to the point where omnicide is there intended goal.

[helmacon]

We have created a breach in the front lines! rally the humans! In the meantime, pretend like our railgun is still loaded and point it at the orcs . It's a bluff... but they are orcs. They might actualy fall for it.

[Maegil]

^That.
If it doesn't work, run into a corridor while reloading (preferably a long, straight and narrow one) turn around, and see how many our dakka can punch through.

[QuakeIV]

Hangon, so the orcs and the wimpy rebel humalien alliance guys are fighting eachother?

The enemy of my enemy is my other enemy, as they say.

I suggest we reload, fire on the orcs charging us, and then fire on the rebels next.

[Gwolfski]

How about hitting them with the railgun?

[Maegil]

One human against a whole lot of rushing orcs? Even with most being busy with the humalians, one on one an orc is a bit too much for a normal human (not that we're one, but still...). If we've done well in the shuttle, it's because the GM was caught unaware with that mad charge and we had both rule of cool and rule of fun/ny going for us, but this time he stacked it against us.

[wer6]

It's not running away, it is a tactical diversion.

You point your massive rail gun at the nearest, meanest looking ork, and it dives into its friend, knocking the rushing hoard back for a single moment, enough for you to tactically retreat into the hallway, full sprint, while reloading your rail gun. by the time your a quarter the way down to your rail gun room, your rail gun is primed and readied, and you turn around, and realize just how close the orcs are, namely, the one in front of you is swinging down what appears to be a massive ball pean hammer at you. Or at least, was swinging. the railgun pellet that bisected him and killed the a vast majority of the orcan conga line stopped such trivial attacks. marching back to the original line, you note that quite a few of the orcs are still alive, and you give them the peace of humans pride. Namely, by slamming the heavy-non delicate end of the rail gun onto the back of their skulls. by the time you get back to the cafeteria of despair, it appears the human alliance members and the weird looking xenos have won, and your section leader, bereft of both of his arms greets you.

"Marine, as you may have known, it turns out that theREAL enemy is these stars-damned  green scum. These... "fine" looking fellows ot the side of me," he points to the one particular alien that seems to be the leader, still wearing a hardsuit "Are actually incredibly pacifistic nature, and really regret this entire situation happening. Also, apparently these monsters eat babies, so the... Yorans... are totally cool with us killing the foul green-skinned Xeno scum."

Your incredibly archaic mind processes this for a full second, before your murder-or-not vision finally decides that these humans and these particular xenos are not okay to kill, and you ask your commander who should die.

"Your going on a suicide mission to kill the Orc Leader, by all means needed, so we can take over this ship and get back to Earth and warn them before reinforcements arrive."

Looking around, this ship does seem a tad strange, and you ask how this ship came to be.

"Well, the orcs take the parts of the ship they destroy and weld it to their ship, usually in a makeshift manner, as with the case of the SS Starfarer, /our/ ship."

nodding once as if you knew what he was talking about, you trudge off, wondering where the captain is, and looking down the hallways.

What do you do?

Spoiler: Why the GM is a bastard. (click to show/hide)

Apologies about the long wait,  forgot that I was actually GMing something in its entirety, yeah.

Edit: fix spelling errors.

[Maegil]

Look for a still living wounded orc and ask for directions*. Failing that, find an orc, shoot his legs off and ask for directions*.


*"Oi, git, ya boss iz a pussy. Were is dat snivellin' wimperin' coward 'idin' fra' me? Imma gonna kick 'is ass an' mak'im me bitch wen I find 'im."
