@Burnt Pies: Hmm, I guess I can split combat engineer off from the tech. Use these for determining your skills, Burnt Pies.

Spoiler: Training (click to show/hide)

For your first year of training, you tutored in the Earthgov Combat Engineers core on Planet Tyrant-where did you spend most of your time?

A. Demolitions Range: Making something explode is easy, making something *not* explode is much more difficult. A year on the Demolition range permanently damaged your hearing, but it also gave you valuable explosives skill.

B. Engineering Bay: Repairing Power Armor in the field is a difficult task-you trained long and hard in the Engineering, learning shortcuts and tricks to patching up broken armor with minimal tools. You also learned other general construction-creating and modding vehicles, armor and equpment.

C. Robotics Laboratory: You spent your time picking the brains of the Robotic experts in the lab, learning how to create-and destroy-artficially intelligent beings. You feel you could make a halfways decent combat android if you had some free time...

Earthgov sent you to Sol next, to practice armor and weapon drills. What was your best accomplishment while you were there?

A. Luna Anti-Grav Armor Drills: You spent the year learning to move in bulky power armor in low gravity conditions on Earths Moon-a useful skills, since it built up your endurance and qualified you to wear heavier class C armor with no difficulty.

B. Phobos Firing Range: Your time was spent productively learning to fire accurately with all varaiants of short and medium range weaponry. Your quickly learned to use weapons of all caliber.

C. Saturn Station Psionic Barrage Training: You attended the new Saturn Station Psionic Defense training, to harden your mind against psychic attacks-mostly by allowing your testers to attack you over and over again, digging out your petty hatreds and insecurities, exposing, and purging them. You felt much more at peace with yourself as the training ended.

Your third year was fairly hectic-you were called in as a specialist to deal with a bad situation. What was it?

A. Thwarted Terrorist Bombers: A terrorist cell from Planet Ozark was detonating bombs on Mars, and you were called in as an explosives expert. You successfully identified the explosive compound used in the bombs that led to the O.S.A Officers storming their compounds. You learned some, but not alot of gun skills, a good amount of subterfuge, and a lot of facts about explosive devices.

B. Retook the E.G.S Hala from Robot Uprising: The E.G.S Hala was experimenting on extremely advanced A.I Machines, when they flubbed it and the Robots went crazy. You were sent in, and after a month of clearing the vessel corridor by corridor, you had learned much about machines-mostly, what not to do, how to kill, and how to program them. Your skills in close range fighting improved significantly.

C. Battled Prison Break in Psigate Military Prison: The Psigate Prison finally suffered a massive prisoner revolt, as at least a thousand deranged maniacs rose up in unison and blasted the minds of all the guards into mush, masterminded by CLASSIFIED. You were part of team that developed the special Psion resistant battle suits that finally broke the siege. You learned about defending yourself from Psychic attacks, and absorbed a ton of the latest engineering skills.

One more left!

In that case i'd like a spot please. Thought i'd like op's response.

[Taricus]

Pies, please choose C on the last option. Please?

[Dwarmin]

One more left!

In that case i'd like a spot please. Thought i'd like op's response.

Sure, take it. If your going for rifleman, fill out for the form I posted for the other three.

[Toriad]

What do we need most? Any docs around?

[Burnt Pies]

1.B
2.A
3.C

[Taricus]

Well, We have a techie, a medic, a support/heavy gunner, a psionic, a Leader, and an engineer.

Anything you could think of?

[Toriad]

I'd suggest a recon, but that's not on the list. Oh well. I'll start filling out the form now.

Here it is

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Joao Caine
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Country: Belarus
Technical Augments: Advanced Target Acquisition neuro-implant
Psionic Augments: Basic neuro enhancements
Physical Augments: Eye and muscle augmentations, faster movement, reflex and overall superior eyesight. Also has skin grafting, allows for better camo.
Professional Skills: Commando, recon and camo specialist, contract killing. Also an excellent shot. Mostly Spec ops stuff.
Requested Position: Rifleman or any sort of recon position.

[Taricus]

It doesn't have to be on the list, just put it down on the sheet and Dwarmin will write something up for it.

[Shootandrun]

Yep, a recon with long range skills would be useful, we (the grunts) all have our points in short range weapons - medium range weapons - melee combat. A sniper of some sort would be useful.

Also, since some of us chose the same trainings options - do we know each others?

[Toriad]

Also, I am confused, what is the form he was talking about? Is it the one on the last page?

[Burnt Pies]

We have a Medic. To my (untrained) eye, we have a bit of a hole in Anti-Armour, as our main weapons against it seem to be Plasma Weaponry (If the gun's powerful enough; not guaranteed), planted/thrown demolition charges or the psychic turning one of the crewmen inside on his compatriots.

Or, if the Class C armour's big 'n strong enough, me punching a hole in it.


Alternately, Sniper, which was what I was considering before I went for the most Boom.

The form is this one:

Grunt Training

You didn't even get a meeting with the base supervisor, instead you were shoved into a cramped meeting hall with two hundred other people and told where you going to go...

Spoiler: training (click to show/hide)

 
For your first year of training, you were sent to Planet Hex to toughen you up. That it did. What did you volunteer for?

A. Long Patrol: Deciding to take the hard job, you volunteered for patrol duty, traversing the deadly surface of Hex and becoming acclimated to it's rigors. Hex is notorious for it's caverns and canyons, and when you got out of there alive, you were a crack shot with the close in weapons-knives, pistols and shotguns. You also built up your endurance.

B. Picket Lines: There was plenty of thing to shoot at...most of them were trying to eat you, so it was easy. You ended up on the base picket, taking potshots at whatever ugly Bug poked his nose toward you. When you got out of Hex alive, you were a crack shot with the rifle.

Earthgov sent you to Earths Moon next, to practice armor and weapon drills-a vacation, really. What was your best accomplishment while you were there?

A. Qualified for Class-B Advanced Armor: The newest shiny from Achilles Labs, the Class B "Gehennon" Armor is a total improvement from the previous version, which is standard among Earthgov forces. It's complicated as well-they only let people who put time into learning it's in and outs wear it. You took to it like a glove-it's light and stronger, and it's all yours!

B. Qualified for Plasma Weaponry Testing: Plasma Weapons are also new-untested, but the potential is there to finally replace both conventional firearms and lasers as Earthgovs standard-they are extremely accurate and powerful, at the expense of ammunition constraints-an easy trade off. You volunteered for testing, and showed enough skill to be allowed to use them in combat.

Your third year had you sent to Planet Ozark to help supress the rebellion. No luck this year...whats the biggest operation you took part in?

A. Operation Rolling Thunder: You were assigned to patrol duty in sprawling city of Tangier, which was rife with Rebels. A hard job-the Rebels freely used civilians as Human shield to preform bombings and attacks on your squad, only to vanish as soon as anyone fired back at them-dodging ambushes and roadside bombs for a few months refined your combat skills-especially with short arms, an advantage in an urban enviroment, and it gave you a sixth sense for danger. You learned a little bit about explosives-as in, how to disarm them.

B. Operation Blackguard: You were assigned to the campaign to retake Rebel Held mountain fortresses in the Dawning range. You spent most of your time poking around abandoned bases-it seemed they were always one step ahead of you-or holding off desperate ambushes when you did find someone. You spent long times roughing it with little support. After a few months, you had become one tough son of a bitch-good with long guns-and had even picked up a few tricks when calling in for artillery and airstrikes.

[Taricus]

I think the autocannon has that covered. And I don't think that we'll be facing tanks as so much bugs instead.

[Toriad]

Alright, thanks.

I pick all "B" for the form.

[Taricus]

Well,
If you are going onto a designated marksman position, there'll be a new set of training options for you, instead of the grunt training.
