Attention On Deck! Attention on Deck! Attention on Deck!

You know the drill by heart. It's in your blood. It's in your soul. It's literally encoded into your DNA. You rush, almost automatically, to deployment briefing stations and await, as the sirens wail, the alarms blare, and the Sergeants shout.You move like a well oiled machine. A loud, colicky , well oiled machine of mass murder and chaos.

As you settle into place and the noise dies down, The Voice addresses you once more, and you feel the familiar thrill run through your being: the thrill of imminent battlke, imminent risk, imminent death, imminent rebirth. If only you knew what the word 'immanent' meant. You bet an officer could tell you.
"Today, Grunts, you will be taksed with teh Glorious Task of securing the Asteroidal Outposts within this star system. Your enemy has fortified heavily and is entrenched deeply. Destroying every weapon installation, conquering every military bunker, and liberating every godless rock is a monumental task indeed. It would involve countless deaths, innumerable rounds of ammunition, and destruction on a scale noteworthy in the Annals of History. However,though we are more than up for the task, Wiser Heads have determined that another strategy will win this day, a strategy old as space itself! You will not be engaging every enemy! No! Fortune has favored us with sufficient range, and wide enough avenues, to 'hop' from one asteroid to another, bypassing the more entrenched, that we might get to juicier meat further in. With less time wasted on small victories, we shall more quickly attain Honorable Combat in the very heart of the enemy's stronghold! Leapfrog past the weaker defenses, ignore the hordes, hunkered down in their bunkers, unable to reach out to us, and strike, deep and sure, into the depths of the offenders' power! Now, Go forth, and return victorious!"

Spoiler: map of the sector (click to show/hide)

The three little wagon things at the bottom of the map are you guys in your Space Grunt Transports. Your primary goal is the big temple looking thing in the upper right. The idea is to choose your route, skip some battles, while still maintaining a clear line between yourself and the homeship (I'll add that in if you need, but assume it is off the map to the lower left), and take several Strategic Targets on your way in. The map may be incomplete, and may be mission things like enemy spaceships and the like.

Ah, and the edges of the map are simply the ends of your particular sector - more of the same awaits beyond the boundaries. This sector is deemed to be the clearest path to the objective, so if you wander beyond it, expect heavier resistance.

A Driver will be ... driving the SpGTs, so if you've unlocked that class (Egan), here's your ride.

I'm probably forgetting stuff, but remembering is fun! And will add an element of Surprise Death to the mission.

Select your platoons and get ready to launch. You have a turn or two before launch if you have any last minute things to do. Post "Ready" when you are ready to ride.

I'll keep the circuitboard, and get instructions on what it can be used for.

There is a Technician class in the OP, but what does the Engineer class do?

And how many points in that CP do I need?

Spoiler: MAD002 (click to show/hide)

Platoon: 2
Designation: MAD002
Class: Medic
Status: All Papers in Order
Inventory: Helmet, Laser Carbine, Combat Knife, and a 48in adjustable wrench strapped to my Backpack (Contains IACRS, standard rations, hyperalloy recombinant circuitboard, clothing, blanket, spare socks, small sewing kit, small cup, a bowl, spork, and spoon).
Kill Tally (Normal):
Major:
Who Cares? (Minor):
Unlocks:
Medic

CP:
1/? Technician or 1/? of Engineer

Engineer is a higher tier class. Might be a prestige, I'm not entirely sure. I'll look. anyway, technician will be what you are unlocking. The question mark means the number of points you need to unlock that class is variable. This is mostly because of the variable nature of technical activities. assume five to seven points.

You are drilled in the use of the ciruitboard repeatedly in your down time. You never come close to unlocking it's main capabilities, but you are able to use it to hack an occasional door, or weld a couple pieces of TransAlloy together, or take them apart. Think of it as a versatile construction/deconstruction device.

yay

EDIT: Also, I want to lock in Brute please

Brute locked in. Note it in your charsheet or I will forget. You could have waited. You read the instructions, sure, but did you follow the instructions? Hmm? HMMM?

Ah right. I didn't give you a number because I didn't grant you that CP.
I offered you a choice:
1) exchange one item for information about the other
2) exchange both items for a CP.

Sorry for the confusion.

Open up the back hatch and have the SpGT rear up so my passenger fall out. If MAD tries to get back in, I'll crush him under my claws. He is not welcome in my SpGT.
Or if he's strapped in already, just shoot him I guess. After telling him to get out, probably.

Get out of my spaghetti, sir.

[Madman198237]

Can't, I was here first.

Go take over Platoon 3's Spaghetti-maker or something. Otherwise, I will give the rest of the grunts a demonstration of the proper removal of a beating heart.

I can put you back together, you'd better believe I can tear you apart.
