Complexity is ok so long as it doesn't bog you down, and so long as you don't expect us to keep track of it.

[Tarran]

Complexity is ok so long as it doesn't bog you down, and so long as you don't expect us to keep track of it.

It might bog me down somewhat. Though likely not by a lot.

I expect you to at least aim for individual sections. And I expect you not to say "WHAT THE HECK" when you start getting hurt.

[HailFire]

Name: Sierra "Thunder" Brannon
Position: Gunner (bottom)
Skills: Driving, Cannon
Gender: Female

Spoiler: History (click to show/hide)

Sierra was born and raised on Omega Earth, and was formerly a member of the Omega Earth Second Heavy Armor Division; she narrowly escaped the Xecobian invasion on one of the Marines' heavy transports during the final hours of the evacuation. She was recommended to the USDF for a gunnery position by the transport's pilot after a spot of quick thinking saved the ship: she had depressurized and opened the ship's cargo bay, and was able to manually fend off pursuing Xecobian fighters with her tank until they were able to rendezvous with the remnants of the fleet escaping the system; if only just.

She was glad to accept the position offered as a chance to strike back and get revenge on the Xecobians for the annihilation of her homeworld; they didn't seem to care to mess around with planetary invasions anyway.

Not sure if that's an acceptable history, but I figured hey, why the hell not.

i seem to have this tendency for picking female characters and i'm not sure why

[Tarran]

Not sure if that's an acceptable history, but I figured hey, why the hell not.

It's fine, though tanks weren't made to fight in space...

i seem to have this tendency for picking female characters and i'm not sure why

WARNING: TVTROPES PAGE.

Maybe this is why.



Anyway, turn up tomorrow when I finish Xecobia ships.

[HailFire]

Consider the alternative. 

Stuck in an unarmed dropship with horrible genocidal aliens in hot pursuit, gaining fast, and no hope of survival?

Fuck that, I have a tank.

[Paranatural]

Nice, this will give us a lot more interesting things to do than just 'shoot 'em some more', good work

[Waladil]

...Epic new setup.
Also, I think that HailFire and i will get along just fine... My rocket launcher is cooler than your tank! >.<
JKROFLMAO

[Tarran]

Hurr. I just realized how hard it's going to be for me to work with LoS.

Well... Turns always have been too easy to do. So a little more work shouldn't hurt.

Anyway, back to work!

[USEC_OFFICER]

So, um... Next turn? Soon? (After you finished adding more things. Things are good.)

[Tarran]

So, um... Next turn? Soon? (After you finished adding more things. Things are good.)

Should be today. Though I can't guarantee it.

[Tarran]

Xecobia ships can wait until their ships actually matter.

Turn 10: Tomfoolery. Shiny weapons.

nuker w disappears in a flash of fire and light. The last thing you hear is him screaming. In his place is HailFire.

Wake SIlo up and apologise, stop bugging him

appeal to my cappn if i get banished, still wake up and apologise to silo

[5]: You wake up the captain, and BEG not to get banished from the ship. He stares at you angrily, then calms down. He warns you that he'll let you get away with this just  this once.

Um... go to my new station!
Can we name this one the "Hunter?"

[4]: THE CRUSTY CRAB PIZZA, IS THE PIZZA, FOR YOU AND ME. You arrive at your destination.

"Can we name this one the 'Hunter?'"

The empty ship doesn't reply.

(Roadviper) Banish wolfchild from the ship, and go to cannon simulation practice.

[4]: The captain is alright with wolfchild. So you to the next best thing besides banishing him.

You kick him out of your ship.

You then go to cannon simulation. You learn some things.

Basic Cannon [3/4]

Go to where the other crew are gathering, *Hit the nearest bulkhead with my fist out of anger* "Esos bastardos malditos Xecobian!, what did we do to to them to start this war in the first place!?" *sigh* "If only we could talk to them, somehow."

Go to the ships lounge or the station lounge and relax until its time for a crew briefing.

[6]: You have no idea where the crew is gathering.

You kick the wall in anger. Ouch! Bad idea.

"Esos bastardos malditos Xecobian!, what did we do to to them to start this war in the first place!?" *sigh* "If only we could talk to them, somehow."

You sit on the floor. Rubbing your foot. Damn those walls hurt!

Based off of our combat, reccomend sugegstions to improving the weaponry at my command.

[3]: You walk to the shipyard and recommend some things to a greasy foreman. He smiles.

Foreman: They all say that. Toughen up, kid. We simply don't have the resources, money or technology to improve our weapons like that.

He leaves you.

Meet with the admiral.

[1]: You are confused as to where you are. And enter the bar. A drunken reserve fighter pilot, overcome with grief, gets angry at you.

Drunk: "My wif is daud. Annd it's allllll you officcers fault! Where were you's when we were be'n glassesed?!"

He throws a punch at you!

Drunk's punch [4-1=3]
VS
SHAD0Wdump's dodge [1]

You try to dodge, but he manages to get a good hit on your rib cage. Nothing breaks, but it hurts like a mother.

Oh, and you crash into a table, ouch.

The entire bar looks at you two, and some shout: "Fight! Fight! Fight!". While others try to break up the fight.

Hit on a experienced engineers daughter because thats how you move up in the world.

[2]: You worry what might happen if anyone finds you in that suit and realizes you aren't a captain...

(Captain Silo, Roadviper)

Attempt to wake up. If woken up or successful, meet with Admiral Drake, kicking Fenrir in the shins if I pass by him. Unless it's within view of the Admiral.

[5]: Already woken up by wolfchild, you start walking to the admiral, and notice a bar fight and wolfchild. You kick wolfchild in the shins. You then walk into the bar and notice Shad0wdump on the floor. You knock out the drunk from behind and drag shad0w to the admiral's room.

Follow James to a lounge and talk to him.

"I know how you feel, buddy. Don't worry, we're gonna make those SOBs wish they never fucked with humanity."

[3]: You go to James and sit down. Saying:

"I know how you feel, buddy. Don't worry, we're gonna make those SOBs wish they never fucked with humanity."

Go over to the lounge and complain on how I should be no-skill
I shall follow shadowdump

[What]: You complain about not being a no-skill. Then realize that You are a Basic [3/4]. You face-palm.

[1]: You trip and fall face first into the floor of bay 2.

Practice with the Turrets.

[6]: You hijack James's turret and fire upon a nearby target. Err, wait, why is that target shouting "CEASE FIRE!"?

Oops.

Oh well, at least you got some practice.

Basic Turret [3/4]

Enter.

You enter.

Discussions in the Admiral's room.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Admiral Drake: Ah. Good to see you two again. I suppose you want to know why I summoned you here.

*Admiral Drake stares at SHAD0Wdump's bruses.*

Admiral Drake: Got in a bar fight eh?

*Shad0w gives Drake his papers.*

Shad0w premotion roll [2]: Admiral Drake: "Interesting, I'll be sure to send it back to earth."

*Admiral Drake closes the door and turns off security cameras, a major in a black suit enters the room.*

Admiral Drake: Well, let me first tell you this is a Class II top secret mission. So DO NOT discuss this outside of your crews. If you do, you will be court martialed. Am I clear? Good.

Admiral Drake: Alright. Now why this is top secret: We are testing new weaponry, weaponry that has the potential to change the war. If it ever got out to the public, the Xecobia could pick it up and develop counters. If this stays secret, and the weapon works, we will be able to launch a massive counterattack and devastate their fleet.

Admiral Drake: Meet major Anthony, captain of the USDF Panther class frigate Thrasher.

*You exchange handshakes.*

Major Anthony: Greetings. As you already know, this is a weapon testing mission. A secret one. This mission originally was given a class IV Security Clearance. But quickly moved down to class II as we needed low ranking officers to attend to keep this low profiled.

Major Anthony: We are going on a low profile to the edge of Alpha Centauri. Yes, we are going into the heart of the conflict. We hope to draw a cruiser, at max. The reason for picking Alpha Centauri is because there is no known HCA activity in Alpha Centauri. Thus the mission can be kept secret.

Major Anthony: We have been interested in testing a hybrid of our AAPMAC and a plasma weapon captured from a boarding mission on a Xecobian frigate. The Plasma Advanced Armor Piercing Magnetically Accelerated Cannon (PAAPMAC). We expect the weapons to deal a large amount of damage compared to either weapon. The PAAPMAC has the potential to change the course of the entire war! We will also be testing some new Nova missiles. Each armed with a small version of a PHAPNMAC warhead.

Admiral Drake: As such, we are going to equip your ships with some of the missiles. Anthony will test the cannons. You will test the missiles. We've already armed both of your ships with four each. They can be fired by the main gunner. Don't be afraid to use them more then needed, we don't intend to use these missiles after the mission.

Major Anthony: There's no room for error, you CANNOT allow ANY ships to escape once you have engaged them with one of the missiles. My ship's jammer will block communication, but it won't stop ships from running away. Remember, the entire fate of this war likely depends on the secrecy of these weapons so we can use them in one massive counterattack.

Major Anthony: This works out, and we'll replace your frontal AAPMACs with our new weapons once we return. Meet me by Haumea.

Admiral Drake: Remember, this stays with your crew and yourselves only. Dismissed.

*Admiral Drake leads the three of you out. Major Anthony leaves for his ship.*

Spoiler: Prototype "Nova" Missile (click to show/hide)

The "Nova" Missile is currently in testing. Not much is known about it, but what is known is that it carries a warhead similar to the one carried by a PHAPNMAC round. But smaller. It is roughly the size of a EMSD.

I don't know if I got anything wrong, and I don't have the time/energy to check. So you'll have to check it yourselves. Anyway, I hope this is enough to keep you guys busy for a little bit.

[smjjames]

I said punch the nearest bulkhead, not kick it, makes for better drama

AEdit: Nm, my current location is more like the passageway than any floor.


(Roadviper)

Feel (or hear, if theres any noise connected with it) the turret being used, then quickly get up and run to the right APIMGT to see what is going on. Then yell at Muller "What the hell are you doing?? You don't fire the gun when docked at a station! Get out of my station, this isn't even your ship!" Kick him out of the right APIMGT and maybe off the ship if neccesary, then explain to the captain why my turret fired at something it wasn't suppoused to have fired at.

Then..... pull up some info from the ships library to get an idea of the known Xecobia ship fighting tactics (you don't need to write up anything about tactics Tarran) and practice on a simulator.

Also do whatever I need to do to get ready to be underway.
