Reminder: Please bold and put into your platoon color your actions. It helps tremendously.
((What is the "gum" (sorry, "Imitation Artificial Chewing Resin Substitute") for? It isn't listed in the equipment list.))
Imitation Artificial Gum Flavored Chewing Resin Substitute is for chewing and sadness, mostly. It's also a sort of minor currency amongst the Grunts, and as such, an incentive for looting the bodies of your fallen comrades, where possible.
Platoon 1Excellent quote chain, guys. You all board Dart 1-B (pronounced "Dart Wan Dasch Bee") and ... holy crap, everyone secures their stuff. Neato. Well done. You guys get a +1 against the death roll this round.

Platoon 1 Death rollThe Dart, full of Grunts and fully secured, screams out of the drop bay like and angry hornet. At least, that's what the officers say. You have no idea what a hornet is, but you assume it is badass. It must be, if it causes 15 Gs of acceleration.
(1+1) Your Dart fares little better than the previous one, taking fire in space. You slam into the enemy ship at an angle and are unable to pierce the hull as a result. An iris between the pointy end and the crew compartment slams shut, and you hear a warning siren: "Prepare for magnetic attachment" as your compartment tumbles in space, occasionally banging against something hard. Eventually, suddenly, the Dart is pulled violently downward again and lands, with a massive
BANG! The siren goes off again "Prepare for explosive breach prepare for explosive breach, prepare for explosive breach," and then the iris explodes and air rushes up past you into space.
You all are suffocating at 0/3. each round you do not get into air, that number goes up. at 3 you die.
finally, you all get individual death rolls from taking such a beating in space.
(4)(2)(3)(4)(6)(1)

Platoon 2 Death rollsNow, you all are comedically trying to get through one hole at the same time, so I now have to roll for how well that works out.
Here is what will happen per roll:
(1) no one gets through and you guys get an inury roll in the process
(2) no one gets through
(3) one person gets through this turn
(4) three people get through this turn
(5) even Zr001, who's stated action is "Don't fly into space" gets through
(6) three people get through, but everyone rolls for injury.
And the roll is ... (5)! You all get in.
you are now in a darkened room, empty but for yourselves, with the air rapidly thinning. your suffocation counter resets to 0/3 and will be rolled for each turn.
a map appears from your helmet visor with a little orange triangle indicating your location, and a flashing yellow icon indicating your designated target of (2) Sewage Control, two decks down and three bulkheads back. Red Xs indicate known enemy troops. There are (5) None on your route.
Platoon 3no quote chain for you guys eh? Oh well. I see a couple of you have your squad color going so that's good.
Send in the next wave, into the next pod
Platoon: platoon 3
Designation: FKD002
Class: Grunt
Status: Kissing ass good byem preparing for death's sweet embrace
Inventory: helmet, laser carbine, backpack, strawberry flavored ham scraping composite
please use an identifiable part of your forum username for your designation. I won't remember who goes with what designation otherwise. If you insist on using this designation, I'll roll with it, but if I miss things, well...
Respawn. Unknowing of those below, sev002 boards the next platoon-designated pod, presumably Dart 6 (Or Dart 3 again, the Powerful-Generic-Space-Empire™ does it by waves like that) , and secures his equipment properly.
Platoon: 3
Designation: sev002
Class: Grunt
Status: Healthy
Inventory: Helmet, Laser Carbine, Backpack, Imitation Artificial Chewing Resin Substitute
((OOC: Surprise surprise, the first three ones sucked. I mean, nobody likes the prequels. *badum-tss*))
Platoon: 3
Designation: Zii002
Class: Grunt
Status: Healthy.
Inventory: Helmet, Laser Carbine, Backpack (lunch (Egg Sandwich), extra socks and the Empire's Military Handbook), Imitation Artificial Chewing Resin Substitute.
Run into the Dart 3, and then scream as loud as I can while securing all my shit! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!
Platoon: 3
Designation: BLD002
Class: Grunt
Status: Healthy [utterly terrified.]
Inventory: helmet, laser carbine, backpack, 1 Imitation Artificial Chewing Resin Substitute, and a note denoting proper methods of dying in a pretty manner.
await and load on to the next available dart for my platoon.
please include your character sheet for your actions. And for balance, I'm putting you in platoon 3.
Platoon 3 Death rollshmm. three of you have secured your items, so two death rolls in addition to the standard pod death roll.
(4)FKD takes a minor wound from his flying equipment and loses his carbine, which shatters on the back of the Pod during acceleration
(1)DH, or whatever his designation is, dies when his weapon discharges in his lap, spreading his brains across the compartment like a Jackson Pollock painting.
(5)Aside from those minor issues, the flight is uneventful, for the whole two seconds it occurs. The Dart slams into the hull of the enemy ship, piercing through like a hot knife through hard metal, and comes to rest perfectly. The hatches all explode open, and your restrains release and your equipment compartments spring open.
(6) The maps that light up on your helmet visors show you right on top of your target: (1) Sewage Tanks 1-5. the smell and the sound of water rushing into the point end of your Dart confirm this suspicion. Your backpacks contain rebreathers and goggles.
Instructions for next round:Respawn: Since there are only two of you dead this round, respawn with your current squad.
Platoon 1like platoon before you, you hit poorly and need to get into air before you die. You'll get more instructions once that happens.
Platoon 2 Your room is leaking air and you need to get out before it gets locked down and get to your objective. You have some electroic override tools for stubborn doors, and one satchel charge each for Really Stubborn Doors. Do
try not to blow yourself up in the process
Platoon 3Get out of the Dart and into Sewage Tanks 1-5. Maybe find out which tank you ruptured.
Finally, I have not been posting individual actions much since htey are all pretty similar at the moment, but once you get going I'll be posting more directly on your own actions.
