By the way, did any of you end the last mission Maimed? If so, you receive an artificial replacement limb/eye, and the CP: Cyber ([limb being replaced])In that case trade the gum for some better rations

(5) a fellow Grunt with one eye is happy to trade off a Special Ration for your three IACRSs.
1 micropulse tachometer
1 hyperalloy recombinant circuitboard
1 adjustable wrench
Alright, how big is the adjustable wrench? I might keep it around for bashing in skulls.
What are the other two used for?
the wrench is (6) 48 inches! Gonna be a two handed weapon, there.
(3) the engineers go into a sort of simplified explanation of what the other two items are used for.
"So, this one measures stuff, and this one glues walls together?"
...
"No. Well, not really, but close enough."
Trade gun and helmet for unchewed gum. Do I still have any dried rations and the bunch of knives? God damn I have so much stuff thanks space raptor jesus I have 2 backpacks.

If you try to trade away your weapon, you will face a court-martial. As for your helmet ... (1) Your fellow Grunts laugh in your face at the offer.
No, you traded the biscuits and silverware for the Special Rations, and the thing FKD gave you.
Go wander about and see what other grunts are up to, maybe try and find a corner I can stack crates and debri up to make into a nest while proclaiming my goal to fortify this position.

(5) you make a little fort out of cots and milk crates and stuff. The other Grunts seem to enjoy testing the durability of yor little hidey hole- mostly by throwing empty Beer (like liquid drinking beverage) bottles at it.
Get the Driver class. "Lock in" Driver class. I'm getting my mech someday, I swear to space jesus.
Platoon: 2

Deaths: 2
Kills: 0/5/0
CP:
Shooting for mech eh? You can also take Cyborg class (if Suitably and Honorably Injured in The Course of Noble Battle) without penalty, in order to accelerate the process.
Driver is able to ... well, you know, operate land vehicles. Once I describe the next mission, you may name a type of land vehicle to spawn with. Nothing too fancy or OP. For example, a tank would require the tier 2 class, right? Now, for being locked in: gain the CP Driver (0/5) When this CP fills, you will unlock the second tier of driver class. Since you have a goal of being a Mech, gain the CP Mech (0/9). When that fills, you gain your prestige class: Mech Warrior.
Accept the injection.

(5) Neato. your eyesight sharpens. You suddenly gain an acute sense of the positions of living beings around you. Since you are on your Mothership, you feel a warm bond, like you are surrounded by warmth and affection. And also the deep desire to kill and die. Gain the Attributes: Sharp Vision, Lowlight Vision, Empathic awareness. These should fit into your character sheet under your status. Hmm. These attributes will last three lives.
Ask for a standard hacker man tablet and hack software, then go to the medical lab and get some brain implants.

You want brain implants? The medicos will be happy to experiment on you. This is a high risk operation though.
Damn, I don't remember my death count for sure. I thought three, but that would mean I failed to update my name at least once...
Lets see:
* Once in the dart.
* Once after spending quite a while maimed
* Once when the bulkhead went boom
Ahh, I forgot to update my number at some point. Oops.

Alright. No biggie. I couldn't keep track of all the dying in this game myself.
I think that Grenadier and Technician are the two classes that would fit my character. So I will switch between them as I see fit. Unless I can be a Grenadier/technician than that would be awesome.

Multiclass? you can unlock that when you would otherwise unlock a tier two class. that is, dual class with two tier one classes counts as a tier two class. Beyond two classes, the cost for multiclassing will rise.
I'll unlock Soldier and Driver. I doubt the paperweight will be worth anything so just keep it as a souvenir.

Alright, sounds good. (4) Some Grunts you are chilling with are bullshitting about other Grunts, the way Grunts do. Someone mentions something about the outlandish ways in which some Grunts have been known to 'kiss officer ass.'
Her-001 gave a small sigh of satisfaction upon claiming a bed their meager belongs layed out as they examined them silently pocketing their..."Gum" Really chewy Resin. Their was just one place to go if it existed?
Is their a place of worship? If so begin praying to the officers for good fortune in my next battle like the maggot I am.
There are several, regularly spaced chapels. these are usually used for Praying to Space Jesus and the other Accepted Deities. There are also rumored to be some illicit chapels for praying to some more heretical deities. Absurd, no?
Anyway, praying to the Officers involves the Holy And Timeless Rituals of:
Filling Out Standard Forms 10.24.53 through 11.15.12 (no need to fill the mall out. Each session counts as a prayer).
Completing the Mandatory Computer Assisted Training Goals
Volunteering for Extra Duties on The Organizational Roster
and
Proper Inspection and organizing of Your Dress Uniform.
Among others (i.e. If you attempt another type of Pleasing The Officers, and it amuses me ...)
(2) For now, yu look about helplessly, wondering where to find the forms, how to work the computer training program, and if in fact you actually even HAVE a Dress Uniform.
Truly, the Officers Work in Mysterious Ways. (Book of Malibol Volume III Section ii chapter a.1)
Platoon:
Designation: HC007
Unit type:Shocktrooper

(5) You create amusing sculptures, Gruntship Bracelets, and an Eight Foot Balancing Tower of Food Related Items. It spans three tables, and elicits a standing ovation from the other Grunts in the Mess Hall. An officer pauses in the doorway momentarily, head turned your way, face unreadable.
