Well if I get any time to play X-COM this week, a BIG one for the new Team GAUX base. Otherwise not for quite a while as I'm going to Peru for a week this Saturday.

[Archangel]

: I'll take care of him.

The ominous figure grabs the Guardsman and starts using the new X-Com first aid kit on the injured with expert speed and precision.

: Mind if I carry him back to the infirmary?

While Pat smells bad, putridly bad, you must admit...that is some good stitching that connects the arms and legs to the torso.

Upon your noticing the stitching, Pat gestures and states:

: And I do much better with living tissue.

: Yes I do mind if you carry him. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to finish saving his life so I don''t owe him any more.
John retrieves the Guardsman and sprints off to the infirmary.

CHAPTER 12: GAUX, Team X-COM!

Still the first day of March, I was informed of a great breakthrough on the part of our scientists.

: Mr. Ikari, Mr. Ikari! Quibble-quib.

: Uh... Quibble?

: Quib-qui--yes, sir?!

: What the HELL do you think you're doing?

: Oh! Uh, quib-nothing, sir! Quibble, just a little stress-related tic I picked up! It's probably nothing. Quibble-quib.

: ... Right. So while I dial the base psychiatrist, tell me what you wanted to tell me.

: Quib-oh! Just a little, quib, project we've finished, Mr. Ika-QUIBBLE QUIBBLE

: God damn it, just show me the slide Quibble.

: Very nice, Quibble. Now get the hell out of my office before I make you wear it for target practice. And go see Dr. Androgynous, it'll help you out with any psychological issues you may have.

I ordered an ample supply of the armor to be made for my soldiers. To send them out lacking in equipment would be a waste of life and resources.

I had just settled in for a long March's nap, when the UFO alarm blared and went WHURRRR-RAP-RAP

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

: QUIBBLE! What the hell is that thing?!

: QUIBBITY-QUIB QUIBBLE!

: WIBBLE! What the the hell is that thing?!

: Hm. Scanners say the thing is massive... it could be an alien battleship. Or, maybe a transport? I'd need to get a closer reading of it to determine its nature.

: Red 5, you are cleared for launch. I swear, Luke, if you blast the air vent and vaporize this one too it's coming out of your paycheck.

*several hours pass in anticipation*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

: Ah, damn it. That thing could be anywhere by now. Return to base Red 5. *sigh* Tell me you have some good news for me, Wibble.

: ... Yes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

: The recruits arrived last night sir. 14 fresh faces. We can fly you there now for the interviewing process.

: Prepare the jet, then. We need that base operational quickly.

Spoiler: Post-chapter comments (click to show/hide)

So there you have it. 9 new spots to join the illustrious Team GAUX, 5 of the 14 are already filled but there's plenty of room for more. Sign up quickly.

Fyi: Cain, not cane

[CJ1145]

My bad, typo.

[Archangel]

If you end up with more recruits than people wanting to join, may I have another soldier? I ask only because John just lugged in a member of a Redshirt Army.

Spoiler: Guardsman Pious (click to show/hide)

Gender: Male
Preferred Equipment: Laser rifle
Bio: He lives up to his name, and he and John have met before.

[Jack A T]

And Sollex appears in the hall, where nobody's looking.

: Actually, I'm not a recruit yet. I sent in my application, but if I stayed in the open any longer then the evil Russian Arms Dealer named Boris will find me. He claims I ripped him off. So, yeah, I hope nobody minds.

Oh, you're going to need a new door guard too.

: Hello!  Good to see you're joining us!  You'll surely be helpful in finding that manuscript I'm looking for.

He looks around for a bit.

: Oh, and sorry about that hole in your bed, Wibble.

this wouldn't happen to be the legendary badass Olianus Pious, patron saint of the Imperial Guard, would it?

[Phantom]

I don't believe Ollanius was a Kasrkin, though.


: This is worse than the time they sent me to Wasteland! Not only do I get worse armor, but I also lack a digger! It is baaad day for Browncoat Union...

Err, why is Syndicate Operative disguised as the Station Captain here?

[Xotes]

Spoiler: William Overbeck (click to show/hide)

Gender: Male
Preferred Equipment: Laser rifle
Bio: It's always the zombies. He's seen the great zombie outbreak of 69', vietnam zombies, regular zombie apocalypses, and he's gotten real good at surviving them. Shooting aliens seemed like a natural step up for the man since there currently aren't any more zombies around.

Because we're already crossed over with a lot of crap anyway.

[Phantom]

Bonus points to the above if he constantly makes Shellshock references rather than Left 4 Dead references.

[Jacob/Lee]

Name+Profile pic: Stone Cold

Gender: Male
Preferred Equipment: Laser/Plasma rifle, 1 smoke and 1 alien grenade (when available), laser/plasma pistol, medikit. Any armor, when available.

Bio: Trained to be an expert assassain from birth, never speaking his true name or his past, Stone Cold has worked for various paramilitary groups and being a mercenary a few times. He has been trained to breach, sweep and clear rooms alongside sniping duties. Due to a shortage of people hating each other, Stone Cold applied for a job at X-COM, where he hoped to work as a sniper.

"I am a rock. I am Stone Cold."

Meeeeee please.

[Phantom]

Yes yes, Sir Syndicate/Wizard. He's probably making sure you don't get one of the Shit Redhshirt Urine Soldiers.

[Jacob/Lee]

...I don't get it.

[warhammer651]

I don't believe Ollanius was a Kasrkin, though.

We do not technically know that he wasn't. 'sides, there aren't any picture of him that I know of.

...I don't get it.

We aren't supposed to RP our guys till they actually get recruited
