She turned Career soldier at 21. She has served with merit in several conflicts, and has advanced slowly through the ranks. Her slow rise is undoubtedly due to several poor fitness for promotion reports which were no doubt prompted by her lack of respect for those placed in command over her.<br><br>Paige is an able soldier and a good leader, but seems to think that she can run the army better than anyone else. This would not be such a problem if she were not also vociferous of her opinions. She also has something of a temper, having been involved in a number of off-base "incidents" before the outbreak of the present hostilities. If she were better able to control these latter two flaws, she would have been considered for promotion to officer, years ago. As it stands, she is unlikely to rise further.<br><br><strong>Education</strong><br><br>Bristol High School for Girls, England<br><br><strong>Service Record</strong><br><br>Enlisted age 18<br>Catterick Garrison Boot Camp<br>Martian Training Facility<br>102nd Light Infantry<br>Disciplinary hearing, no action taken<br>Promotion to PFC<br>Promotion to Corporal<br>Wounded in action - Purple Heart<br>234th Mechanised Infantry<br>Disciplinary hearing, no action taken<br>Promotion to Sergeant<br>22nd Supply Batallion<br>Promotion to Staff Sergeant<br>Disciplinary hearing, no action taken.<br>Busted to Sergeant for insubordination<br>101st Airmobile Infantry<br>Promotion to Staff Sergeant.<br>Promotion to First Sergeant.<br>Disciplinary hearing, no action taken<br><br><strong>Psych Profile</strong><br><br>First Sergeant Paige presents quite a conundrum. In peace time and during periods of R&amp;R she exhibits the characteristics of someone with low intelligence. She is unstable and short tempered, with a propensity to speak before thinking. However in combat, she is cool, calm and stable. She has received several citations for bravery under fire, but according to the reports she is never reckless. She always puts the welfare of those under her command first. This has resulted in some of the incidents which have been the cause of her being passed over for promotion on several occasions, and in one case even demoted.<br><br>Her inability to control her outspokenness in front of officers - especially senior officers - has resulted in numerous disciplinary hearings. In most cases no action was taken against her because her words, while inappropriate, were generally correct! To quote Brigadier General Princeton-Scott: "The man is indeed a horses ass, Corporal Paige, but you should not have called him it to his face!"<br><br>Paige has exhibited a sexual preference for women and while this is not an offence, it has kept her under a certain amount of scrutiny. She has on rare occasions exhibited a tendency to be protective towards the other women in her unit and potentially hostile toward the men.<br><br><strong>Equipment</strong><br><br>Uniform<br>Comm<br>Infantry Protection (Level 1, flak jacket and helmet)<br>Infantry Supplies (Standard issue)<br>9mm pistol (Standard issue)<br>Kalashnikov AK902 "Muchitel" assault rifle ("Mauler") with M301 Grenade Launcher.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=124324.msg5479538#msg5479538">Quote from: Amazon on 16-11-2011, 20:15:43</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatright">(http://image.xyface.com/image/j/artist-jenette-goldstein/jenette-goldstein-149998.jpg)</div><tt class="bbc_tt"><br><span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Name:</strong> Vic Stern<br><strong>Rank:</strong> Private<br><strong>Role:</strong> Squad Leader<br><strong>Age:</strong> 26&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Height:</strong> 6'1"&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 184 lbs</span></tt><br><br><strong>Summary</strong><br><br>Vic was born in a military family, her father being part of the force and grew up in an environment filled with that. Ever since her childhood she wanted nothing more than to be a part of the force and kick some serious butt. A wildchild since her young age, she had numerous troubles due to her rebellious attitude, often landing in trouble with the authorities because she was more interested with breaking the rules than bothering to follow them like a sheep. That was something which also led to numerous clashes between her and her parents and eventually she moved out and enlisted the very moment she finished up the school. Her record at the academy was an excellent one as far as the progress was concerned, but was also marred with her personal problems involving hazing, constant fighting with others and substance abuse.<br><br>But due to her exceptionally high potential which she had shown multiple times, she was brought in the field eventually and has went on numerous difficult operations, tackling them with ease and always willing to fight till the last breath and to protect her fellow soldiers. Fearless, and though is hard to get along with unless you win her trust, she has respect and admiration of people who she works with.<br><br><strong>Education</strong><br><br>Brookes High School for Girls<br><br><strong>Service Record</strong><br><br>Enlisted at age 18.<br>Austin Boot Camp<br>Martian Training Facility<br>102nd Light Infantry<br>Nearly got busted when sitting stoned on duty out of boredom.<br>Successful mission to Phobos.<br>Promotion denied due to stubborn behavior and insubordination sent on her next mission as punishment.<br>101st Mobile Infantry<br><br><strong>Psych Profile</strong><br><br>Vic is the definition of the word tough and being a woman has had to fight against the odds to reach where she is today. A rather unconventional woman by any standards, she's known to be the center of the attention wherever she goes due to her masculine build. A tomboy since as long as she could remember, she has always considered herself to be one of the boys and thoroughly enjoys acting like one. She has a bit of an ego and doesn't trust anyone easily after going on some pretty dangerous missions in the past, however once you gain her trust she won't mind putting her life in the line of fire to save you.

Desperate for a job, and seeing no possibility of one on his home world, he worked his passage as comms operator on an interstellar freighter and arrived on Earth just before his twenty second birthday.<br><br>Here, he learned that there was a shortage of trained electronics technicians in the Mobile Infantry and so he joined up, expecting to be given a job building or fixing electronic equipment.

She was convicted of felony subversion and shows no remorse for participating in anti-government protests. Her stated reason for opting into the PES was to continue practicing medicine.<br><br>Despite the shortage of doctors in our combat support hospitals and the subject’s obvious qualifications, it is not recommended that she be employed in this role due to political and security liabilities.

Despite having lived most of their lives in relative poverty, they test as loyal to the government. It is likely the subject’s initial exposure to subversive materials came about due to her excessive level of curiosity.<br><br>Her treasonous lack of respect for political and economic authority stems from her obsession with helping the lower class of society. This manifested in the form of excessive time spent working in a free clinic before finally leading her to illegal associations with anti-government and anti-capitalist groups.<br><br>The subject’s acceptance into PES is based on her passion for practicing medicine and firm conviction that patients should be treated with no regard to political considerations—she may despise everything a well-adjusted citizen holds dear, but she is able to put this aside for her work.

Call it what you want. Absentee parents, low income area, or just the near constant state of urban warfare that occurred on his part of the planet. While the rich resided in the domed areas with the best terra-forming, the rest who couldn’t afford the ritzy digs were used as laborers. It was an age-old problem of the domes representing the best society had to offer, while they stayed under the radar. Nobody asked questions, and as gritty as life was, it was life.<br><br>That was until a group of teens, including him, decided on a raid on the domed city. To his credit, Mike did his part and got them in, but things went FUBAR from there. Half got killed by the authorities, and the other half were put “on trial”. Needless to say, the authorities couldn’t have anyone around with the balls to go against them so blatantly, and the option was more than clear. Before he had a chance to say “Wait, what?” he was doing PT on some grubby piece of rock that made even his home seem like a resort.<br><br>He made an excellent soldier, but still had a rebellious streak. He’s been busted twice to private, and was lucky that was all he got.

This has caused his meteor-like fall in ranking, and has almost excluded him from future considerations. He has taken this with something of a grain of salt. He understands the war machine, perhaps too well, and has admitted to his inability to command people to die needlessly.

The world's gravity was almost twice that of Earth, outside the range of "Earth Normal", and the air contained a much higher concentration of oxygen, as well as some rather nasty radiation. The colonists who survived the crash were quickly thinned out by natural selection, leaving only those with the ability to survive in the harsh environment. The world was rich in transuranic elements, and by the time the Empire re-established contact, there was a fairly healthy mining industry established.<br><br>Rosie joined the fleet straight out of high school, with her parents blessing, and specialised in communications. She graduated thirteenth in her class and was posted to a combat vessel. She has served without distinction and without any black marks, up until the loss of the Roger Young, whereupon she distinguished herself by keeping her head in a crisis, surviving when others could not, assisting in preventing the vessel falling into enemy hands, and finally in aiding in the rescue of a substantial number of survivors.<br><br>She has been recommended for promotion, and possible special duties.<br><br><strong>Education</strong><br><br>Crash City Mining School<br><br><strong>Service Record</strong><br><br>Enlisted as Spaceman Recruit, attended boot camp on Star Base Uniform Whisky Alpha.<br>Chose Communications specialisation, transferred to Phobos Naval base, Mars Orbit, as Spaceman Apprentice.<br>Graduated thirteenth, promoted to Spaceman, posted to ISS Typhoon.<br>Promoted to Petty Officer 3rd Class.

Her loyalty to the current order is, by her actions and by every pysch test available, above reproach. However, due to her severe emotional issues and off-putting manner, it is recommended that she continue to be assigned to less important posts.

The subject has a deep-seated hatred of disloyalty to the Empire, which she claims (and likely believes) is due to ideological rather than personal reasons. Ultimately, the source of her loyalty is less important than its intensity, which is more than sufficient even by Propaganda Department standards.<br><br>The subject has been noted as severely isolated and overly suspicious. Colleagues find her unpleasantly intense and focused only on Propaganda Department business at all times. She seems to have no friends, and there is no evidence she has ever been involved in any sort of romantic or sexual relationship.<br><br>While Assistant Director of the Viability Center, she was often reported as overly violent toward the prisoners—though given the later treason of Director Collins these reports cannot be considered part of her official record. What is a matter of record is that during an official Propaganda Department fundraiser, she insulted the Numera planetary governor and claimed he was “coddling terrorists.” It is due to incidents such as this that Miss Reinfeldt has since been kept at low level military posts where her lack of tact cannot cause much damage.<br><br>Before she could be demoted from her Assistant Director position, the Numera Viability Center Incident took place. Reinfeldt’s superior proved to be a traitor who allowed Numera Nationalist terrorists into the prison in an attempt to rescue captured NNF soldiers. Reinfeldt was shot three times by the terrorists and left for dead along with the rest of the Center’s staff, but managed to recover a firearm and kill several of the terrorists and the Director. The most troubling indication of the subject’s mental instability is that, despite being so weak that she eventually passed out and almost died of blood loss, she somehow was able to shoot Director Collins eleven times and stab him fourteen times. Clearly, she took his betrayal very personally.<br><br>The subject has since performed admirably in the position of Battalion Political Officer, though her impressive success in ferreting out seven real traitors is somewhat counterbalanced by twenty-eight disruptive witch hunts to date. She was cleared of all wrong doing in Market Square Incident, where she seized command of Sergeant Hadley’s squad.

His mother was an archeo-anthropologist and his father a retired veteran. Between the two of them telling stories of recent and ancient battles and societies, it would have been almost impossible for him to turn down any path other than the guard.<br><br>Growing up in such a central, and consequently well protected, region of the empire, Lucas had little direct exposure to the effects of war. Perhaps because of this he became fascinated by the similarities between the way Orcs were described by his Father and the way his Mother described archaic pre-Empire civilizations. In particular he enjoyed reading about tools and machines of war, and how they shaped the battlefield as much as the soldiers using them.<br><br>After earning his degree, a demand his parents both made of him, Lucas enlisted with the eagerness only found in the youths with no idea of what they were getting into. His natural aptitude with military equipment and unconventional ways of using it got him streaked into SF Engineer school almost before his promotion to PFC was stamped. His first assignment as a Specialist was with the 214th Mobile Infantry, whom were already en route to a factory planetoid to break an orcish siege that had been going for nearly seven months.<br><br>During the course of the operation, Lucas and three other members of the unit were cut off by a swarm of orcs which came rushing out of a warehouse without warning. Three hours later they were still pinned down by arrows and other thrown weapons hurtling their way amidst the roaring and whooping of the orcs, and out of ammunition to boot.<br><br>In a sudden flash of inspiration, Lucas decided to try something "creative" that he had always wanted to attempt. Snatching up one of the huge orcish bows and a cracked axe handle, he set to work and fashioned a particularly crude crossbow while muttering to himself in though. It took two tries reattaching the bow to the handle, and he had to use his feet and arms both to nock an arrow, his two surviving allies staring at him incredulously the whole time.<br><br>When the first shot streaked through the air and buried itself up to the ragged fletching directly in an orc's eyesocket, the sporadic attacks from the orcs suddenly ceased. It was almost more than they could process, trying to comprehend just how one of their arrows had come back towards them. The pause gave the three men time to scramble back to more solid cover in an office space, and they grabbed up as many arrows as they could as they went.<br><br>Six clean kills later, the orcs had reorganized themselves to attack just in time to be cut down by a hail of mounted gun fire from behind as the backup finally arrived in the form of two APCs mounted up with 50mm turrets. Only five members of the 214th left that planetoid outside of a bag, and it was summarily decided that they would be redistributed rather than putting the effort to reform the unit.<br><br><strong>Education</strong><br>M.A. in History of Earth Combat<br>&nbsp;-University of New Columbia, Colonial City, Io<br><br>Infantry Bootcamp<br>&nbsp;-Camp Torson, Europa <br><br>MOS-18CX Certification (Special Operations Engineering and Improvised Munitions)<br>&nbsp;-Variable Orbit Training Facility "Helheim"<br><br><strong>Service Record</strong><br>Infantry Bootcamp - Camp Torson, Europa<br>Promoted to PFC<br>MOS-18CX school - Variable Orbit Training Facility "Helheim"<br>Promoted to SPC<br>Assigned to 214th Mobile Infantry<br>Operation Jackhammer - Meritorious Action Medal<br>Promoted to CPL<br>Reprimanded for Insubordination. <br>-Told CO to "go get another orcish anal fisting before you shrivel up from loneliness"<br>Reprimanded for Insubordination.<br>-Threw part of a severed orc hand at CO.<br>Transfer Requested to off-world Mobile Infantry division.<br>Transfer granted.

				Just a small note of explanation, to anyone who is wondering...<br><br>There are three grades of what might be considered "god-moding": <br>1) Deliberately controlling someone else's character and not giving them a chance to decide what to do. This is a cardinal sin of RP. <br>2) Doing the same to someone's character when you know that person so well that you have absolutely no doubt what their reaction will be... This is pretty much what I did to Amazon's character. I have absolutely no doubt that her character would be sitting on the bunk furthest from the door, totally ignoring everyone else, unless they tried to get her attention and then she would be a total bitch! And when the Sergeant came in she would naturally assume that any orders did not apply to her, and wait to see what the sarge would do about it. <br>3) The last grade is not "god-moding" it is moving the story along. When there is only one course of action open to the other player(s) then why waste time waiting for them to post that reaction? This is what I did with everyone else! (Only Vic would have the gaul to actually ignore the platoon sergeant).<br><br>So.... I just IMed Amazon, to see if she can be stirred into posting...

				Chrystal I don't think anyone had an issue with your into post lol&nbsp; While we may doing a serious military RP, doesn't mean we have to be all that serious out of character.&nbsp; <br><br>Thus I bring up this topic!<br><br>Okay so today I was listening to the radio and the dj on the station was counting down her top twenty stripper songs.&nbsp; And while some on their were classics, Pour Some Sugar On Me, others were a bit out there.&nbsp; One though that is frakking right I kinda got turned on just thinking about it, was Glory Box - Portishead.&nbsp; Now I don't know how I could, but somehow I just completely forgot about this song.&nbsp; And to here it on the radio in that context was just mind freaking blowing!<br><br>So ya, my random news for the day lol&nbsp; Will now work on post.&nbsp; Chyrstal do you want me to work in the LT and Sarge conversation now, or would you rather wait to hear back from Amazon and see what you two can get cooking on that end.&nbsp; Either way is fine with me, I just don't want you sitting there if you are itching to go lol<br><br>Oh, and Chrystal, I did actually know that xenos had such a root.&nbsp; Not that I can truely take credit for coming up with that term to describe the Alien creature, as I've played quite a few roleplays fighting against them.&nbsp; And more than once that has been the general term everyone has used.&nbsp; Can't rightly say the first time I heard it used, but it has stuck ever since then.

				*chuckles*<br><br>I didn't think anyone did have issues with, I was just pointing out the various levels, because I think that in a lot of cases a bit of judiciously applied god moding can help keep a story moving, especially if someone is away briefly.<br><br>My favourite stripper song is Hold Your Head Up, by Argent (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=111241.0). Uh yeah, that's a link to a RP I have going with ... Oh look, it's Amazon! Who'd 'a thunk it? But there is a link to the song on my first post...<br><br>It's seriously a great song to strip to, and the lyrics seem to be aimed at making the stripper feel better about herself!<br><br>Amz said she would get a post up today, so I was planning on waiting for her reaction, then hoping the LT would come in and Sarge would get to snap out "TENHUT!" again to which he replies "As you were", immediately. Then after he's looked the platoon over, Kerry will ask to have a private word, Sir!<br><br>*grins* Glad to here it Sah! Nice to know our Rupert has a hejucashun, Sah! ('Cept of course he isn't a Rupert, he's taken a commission!)<br><br>No, but seriously, Cal, I wasn't criticising, just pointing out a fact that may be of interest. Like for example the word "Alien" actually means "Stranger" or "Foreigner", and not necessarily "Extra Terrestrial".

				Excuse the double post. Two things worthy of note:<br><br>1) On a warship there can only ever be one Captain. Anyone holding the <em>rank</em> of Captain is automatically promoted by one rank unless they are actually in command of the ship (which is rare, Captains would normally command only capital ships). So a naval captain would be referred to as commodore, and an army (or marines) captain would be referred to as Major. Hence the cadet saying that Paige's gear was brought with "the major's complements".<br><br>2) Explosive decompression is very rare. People do NOT get sucked out of holes the size of a pin. On a space going warship, the hulls and the compartment bulkheads would be made so they didn't rip under normal air pressure even if holed. A small fragment of whatever blew the compartment next door made a tiny hole in our compartment and caused an automatic system to detect a pressure drop, sealing the compartment. The pressure drop was so low initially that it took a while to notice.<br><br>Of course that fragment has also given us our first NPC casualty. Jos, up to you if he's dead or not...

				Uh.... Yeah. damn, knew there was one I was missing. But still wondering if I should wait to post for a bit. (amazingly enough my muse has returned and I'm all caught up, so much so that anyone posting in one of my RPs gets an almost instant response... Which is virtually unknown for me!<br><br>I have to admit to being a little bit weirded out by the sudden change in mission. I guess it's realistic, but it took me by surprise.<br><br>Interesting to point out something though: While on board a ship (sea or space) an army officer has no rank whatever that actually matters. Sures he can order her own men to do whatever she wants, but even if she is a field marshal, she is under the orders of the ship's commanding officer, even if that commanding officer is a lowly sub-lieutenant (ensign). <br><br>For a naval officer, the safety of the ship and crew takes precedence over the mission of any passengers, unless ordered otherwise by&nbsp; her own superior officer. Even then naval commanders are generally expected to use best judgement when acting alone. When on fleet manoeuvres, obviously that isn't the case.<br><br>So, the point is that, regardless of what casualties the infantry might take, the ship's captain is perfectly within his rights to order the colonel in charge of the regiment on board his ship to protect and secure the ship from any hostile boarding party.

				Exactly my point, Cal. Grandma expects to rule the roost wherever she goes. So imagine how she would feel if her grand-daughter turned around and said, "Granny, this is MY house, MY rules.

				Amazon said she is going to try and get a post up today... My Mistress has a very busy schedule what with all that partying she does.<br><br>I really enjoyed that post... I didn't think it was worth duplicating your post as to how the ship got blown, but I did figure using a timer was a good idea.... unfortunately it meant she lost a man - two if you count the one who didn't make it back from the alien ship...<br><br>I wanted to prove a point...&nbsp; LT and the Sarge had that discussion about unnecessary sacrifice of men. I wanted to point out that the sarge will not risk the ship for the sake of one man - she could have overridden the automatic close of the seal, and saved that one man, but doing so would have put the entire squad at more risk, and possibly the entire ship. The obvious point being that she will sacrifice men where necessary, but she will not do so unnecessarily, and if ordered to do so, the officer in question had better be prepared to shoot her or watch watch his back.

				Okay... the thing is, if you want to end the RP prematurely, because you are fed up with it, then you are setting things up nicely. Blow the ship and kill everyone.<br><br>On the other hand if you want some sort of survivability here, we need to get off the ship and onto a world where we can breathe outside, before we all end up taking a long dark walk home...<br><br>So, I have some technical questions...<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">technical questions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Presumably the ship is some sort of assault carrier or troop ship, otherwise regular infantry would not be on board?<br>I am assuming we are not the only platoon still active, but that Warren, being the senior officer still alive on the deck, has effectively assumed command of the entire company? (Company C on C-Deck).<br>Given Warren's comment about the size of the ship, I would imagine that there would be an entire battalion (if not a regiment) on board. So there are at least two other companies and up to eight depending upon whether the ship holds a battalion or a regiment and depending upon the unit organisation of the regiment? (UK regiments have only two battalions, one of which traditionally is the recruitment battalion. US Regiments have three Battalions - as I recall, I could be wrong - all of which fight.)<br>Given the size of the ship, it is unlikely to be atmosphere capable, so that means there is a hangar deck somewhere?<br>What the fuck are the rest of the ship's crew doing? They all seem to have vanished... I think we should "discover" some of them hiding in a compartment!<br></div></div>

				There were two platoons on C-deck.&nbsp; Warrens...and the one you promptly killed Chrystal with having the port side of C-deck ripped open and exposed to the vaccume of space lol&nbsp; No worries though.<br><br>The rest of the Company is situated at various other spots of the ship and are under their own orders.&nbsp; I am going to say the entire regiment is aboard this ship just because the last post I made I did say it was rather large.&nbsp; Plus since this is an entire Operation to take this planet back, the regiment is likely part of entire Division on it's way.&nbsp; Those regiments are on other ships int he fleet though.<br><br>Since we have been going off the US Army rank and insignia so far, I'm gunna stick with that.&nbsp; So yes three Battalions in a regiment.&nbsp; You are also correct in that this ship is not atmo worthy and there is a rather large hanger deck with craft large enough to carry an entire platoon.&nbsp; <br><br>Don't be getting any idea's though because we are rather far from it at the moment.

				Right... Double post here (sorry), but this is another techie post for the GM...<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">techie stuffs please?</div><div class="spoiler_body">So, we are on C deck. Presumably the Bridge is forward on A deck? that assumes, of course, that we are following "traditional" space ship design, instead of "sensible" space ship design?<br><br>Traditional space ship design, has the bridge high up and forward on the ship, the way it is on a surface warship or an aircraft. The reason for this is so the captain can look out of the window and see where he is going --- uh yeah? No! On a space ship, all data comes to the controls by remote feeds - heck it does on a modern surface warship. The control room on a modern day frigate is little different from that on a submarine! Putting the control up on an exposed section is just an excuse for the bad guys to shoot at it! Merchant ships are different of course. They need to have room for the cargo...<br><br>Sensible space ship design puts the most valuable stuff - the officers, the bridge, the computer, the life support systems - right smack in the middle of the ship. That way they are more difficult to get to, can be better protected and will only be destroyed if the entire ship is destroyed.<br><br>So...&nbsp; A deck can be at the top or in the middle... In the latter case I would have B-deck above it and C deck below it, D above B and E below C.<br><br>And the bridge would actually be an escape pod in it's own right, capable of surviving the rest of the ship being blown up - provided it hasn't already been breached!</div></div><br>So, Paige is going up one deck and back... I'll hold off posting until I get a reply, Cal?

				*chucckles* Not recently, no, but I have known&nbsp; the odd player get WAAAAY to serious about a game I was GMing... This is supposed to be fun, for everyone involved, after all!<br><br>Speaking of fun...<br><br>I do enjoy having a good rant at regular sci-fi. Everything from the faulty Inertial Dampers in ST-TOS (If they worked properly the crew wouldn't get flung all over the place at all), to the way the bad guys are always such lousy shots, have really crap weapons and really crap shields!<br><br>So...<br><br>When it comes to ship design, the golden rule is "Form Follows Function". In other words, what we have is basically an armed and armoured passenger ship with a big shuttle bay, not an actual warship. The general idea is that the guys in the white suits and fast ships with lots of guns are supposed to keep the bad guys off us. So for two (three?) orc bioships to have got through, something has gone very wrong already! We have to assume that Fleet are involved in a major space battle and that it's not all going our way! Of course if it goes entirely the other way, we won't know anything about it, until the ship blows up!<br><br>Anyway...<br><br>(http://www.figures.com/forums/attachments/news/3630d1267036924-yamato-usa-starship-troopers-rodger-young-rodger09.jpg)<br><br>F-F-F.

				As this is based upon the Starship Troopers Dystopia, the general idea is that the word is run by the military...<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Heinlein's original background concept</div><div class="spoiler_body">Robert A Heinlein wrote the story Starship Troopers basically as a protest against the way Vietnam war veterans were being treated in the USA in the 1970s. His basic presmise was that after WWIII between Russia and the USA, which the USA lost, the war veterans came home and were treated even worse that the Vienam vets. They had been pulled out, leaving a huge number of men behind, too, and were not happy about this. So, they got together and staged a coup d'etat. Basically, the USA got taken over by military veterans. These veterans then restarted the war, re-invaded the country they had been kicked out of, and freed the POWs being held from that war - and some from a previous war. (This is in reference to the number of US servicemen listed as MIA during the Vietnam war, whom the NVA later admitted to having captive but never released).<br><br>This time, with the war officially won (the object was to release the POWs) the veterans turned their attention to civilian matters. They basically declared that, because of the sorry way Veterans were treated in a democracy run by civilians, only veterans could become citizens and only veterans could vote. ANYONE could serve in an appropriate capacity. If you had one hand and no legs but could write your name, they would give you a job filling out requisition forms. If you were bright enough you got to join the fleet as a bridge officer. If you weren't but had full use of all your limbs, you got you pick of the infantry roles. If you were fond of dogs, you got K9 corps. If you weren't good for anything else, you got Mobile Infantry.<br><br>You signed up for three years or the duration whichever was longer. At the end of your three years or at the end of the war, you retired honourably and received the right to vote.<br><br>Now, in terms of dissent, basically in Heinlein's novel you could be a non-citizen from birth to death and no-one would bother. But I imagine if you started openly criticising the government you might not survive long...<br><br>Heinlein's world is actually a lot less totalitarian than that in the films, but he doesn't really go into that side of things much.</div></div><br>As for the actual state of the battle, I agree. I don't want my character knowing what is going on. However she is a veteran. She knows that the troop ships are the core of the invasion fleet. Without the troops, there is no invasion. So they will be screened by the fleet. They are the military's most valuable asset in terms of the war, even above the capital ships and flag ship, because if all the troop ships are lost, the battle is lost before it has even begun, and not only that, but the loss of so many troops would seriously weaken the Imperium's defensive capability!<br><br>So, Kerry is smart, she's a vet. She knows the score. She knows that if the troop ships are under attack, it means things are not going well... Her main purpose, though, is to stay alive and keep her men alive, in order to be able to accomplish the mission, and survive to accomplish the next mission.

				Getting back to the state of the people, it does change from planet to planet.&nbsp; Some are in out right rebellion agaisnt the Empire, while even those recently taken over are glad to be a part of it.&nbsp; As general rule though everyone is fearful of the Empire.&nbsp; They are the end all be all of authority and there way of handling any incursion on that authority is universal...A bullet to the head.<br><br>At the same time they do provide securiy against such things as orcs, xeno's and other human installtions which are against the empire, as well any other aliens we wish to come up with.&nbsp; Not always successful, no organization is, the fact remains if you are Imperium you have a higher chance of suriving if one of these attacks happen.<br><br>Add to that life in the Empire ain't horrible.&nbsp; You serve you get citizen ship, which gives the right to vote for you Sentorial Representative at election time.&nbsp; Other wise you have the same other basic humans rights to a 'fair trial' granted by your peers.&nbsp; There are ways around this though as some unfortunate people have found out, but in general things are fair.&nbsp; Add to that the Empire is quite happy to let people keep there own customes rather than enforcing Imperical views on them.&nbsp; Just as long as they meet there tax quota, sing the antheme, pledge loylty to the Emperor and don't cause shit, anyone should get a long the Empire just fine.&nbsp; There are breachers of authority and many a person in the system abuse there power.&nbsp; Those that get too out of hand are taken care of quietly by agents of the Emperor.&nbsp; More than one Imperial General has been found to have 'hung himself' after slaughtering an entire Imperical City because quote, "They just wouldn't stop screaming when I threatened there children."&nbsp; So ya, even the Empire doesn't like that press.

				Hey, sorry for taking so long to post guys, busy week.&nbsp; And also Chrystal for jumping Irish around like that, I just wanted to move things just that little bit more forward so he wasn't stuck with Warren the entire time.&nbsp; If I is a huge problem I will switch the post up a bit.<br><br>Also, I will be making Daniso into an actual character.&nbsp; Already have her pic and bit of info on her in the character section of this OOC, but am going to work on the full work up right now.&nbsp; Just figured one, would be nice to have another female character in the mix so the boys aren't all fighting over Tanak, and she is fffing cruel! <br><br>So ya, about it.&nbsp; Hope you guys are enjoying the RP so far!

				Okay...<br><br>The other thing (sorry about this, it's the OCD element of my Asperger's) is, I'm still bothered by how many men are left on our ship?<br><br>Let's see.... a Regiment consists of three Battalions, each of five companies, each of three platoons. Our company, now barely more than a reinforced platoon with around 100 men and under the command of Lt (soon to be Captain) Warren, has successfully (so far) held C-Deck.<br><br>What the fuck are the other fourteen companies doing? Especially as ours was supposedly composed of green-horns and misfits?<br><br>Some how I find it highly unrealistic that we could have held on and no-one else did! There were some 6,000 men on the ship, if you count fleet crew and marines. Most of them were heavily armed. Even assuming an initial casualty rate with the hull breaches of 50% that still leaves 3,000 or so to stage some kind of defence.<br><br>Our ship holds 6,000 humans. An orc is twice the size of a human. A bioship is going to be something like one tenth the size of ours at most, or you wouldn't get more than two attached. So simple maths tells us that each bio-ship holds a maximum of 300 orcs?<br><br>Even if we get hit by ten bioships and our initial casualties are 50%, we still have equal numbers on them, better fire-power, longer range, better accuracy and better discipline.<br><br>Now, to contradict what I've just said, all these bullets flying around inside the ship, and we still have air?<br><br>[edit]<br><br>Speaking of air.... do Orcs breathe? Surely the obvious thing to do (from the Captain's perspective) would be to seal the compartments the orcs are in and vent the air out!

				No I get ya, and before I go to answering all those I just wanna say no matter how I sound answering them, I'm not trying to be a prick.&nbsp; Nor am I trying to give cheap answers, and one thing must be remembed above all.&nbsp; People have fucked up, big time!&nbsp; The Fleet, the Captain, Officers, even common soldiers.&nbsp; THe higher up you are the though, the more your fuck ups have gotten others killed.&nbsp; And that is entirely what has happened here.&nbsp; TO the questions though.<br><br>Our platoon got lucky.&nbsp; Our platoon has held out because it isn't near any vital systems and has scene less action than other platoons.&nbsp; Those other platoons are engaged in various ways around it, but they are heavily engaged either trying to take back the engine's, the hanger bay, those who failed in getting to the bridge or are still trying to get to the bridge but are much farther away.<br><br>Basically these orcs have turned out to be far better organized than they ever have before.&nbsp; They've hit our ship right where it hurts and with shock tactics that have overwhelmed most positions.&nbsp; Our platoon was spared this and have been able to slowly secure our little bubble because that is what it is.&nbsp; A little bubble and some other platoons are in the same boat as us, trying to expand out with organization and control, but that is slow work.&nbsp; Outside these buddles, as Paige is finding out things are not going so well because outside of our bubble has been the orcs main focus.&nbsp; They themselves ain't smart, but who ever planned this and gave them orders are.&nbsp; It will be a re-curring theme.<br><br>As for the air thing, ship hulls are thick.&nbsp; Could go into extreme detail about it, but that is really it.&nbsp; Bio-ships form to get through such obsticals because that is what they do.&nbsp; As for the venting air, ya I am sure the Captain order officers to do so.&nbsp; Now when the intial impacts took place he believed not only his people, but the troops being transported could handle these problems without having to vent out Fleet or Guard personal along with him.&nbsp; I'm sure if he ever sruvived this situation, he'd come under review and be told flat out, "Vent half the fucking crew along with the orcs if you have too, just don't loose the ship!" <br><br>I can't stress enough that a lot of people in position have fucked up.&nbsp; They have not followed protocal or their training, or even common sense.&nbsp; Which happens in warfare.&nbsp; Which has happened, over and over and over in warfare.&nbsp; If you count the amount of military blunders in history and compare them to military acts of genious, blunders win out hands down!&nbsp; This is a blunder, a big ffing blunder.&nbsp; And unfortunately as the shit ran down hill, no one was capable enough to get a hold of the situation properly until it got around too Company level.&nbsp; By which point you have a command of 200 men trying to correct the mistakes of all the other commands on the ship.&nbsp; Not good numbers or quick enough timing.&nbsp; <br><br>In all reality, what is left of the regiment probably could take back the ship, they really could.&nbsp; But there is an orc fleet out there, currently busy picking off other ships as well.&nbsp; Soon as they are done that, they will turn there full attention to the one ship that has been able to hold out, but is dead in the water and has no help coming for them.&nbsp; Our fleet is leaving us behind to die, a simple sacrifice to save the majority.&nbsp; A wounded cow left behind to save the herd from the wolves.&nbsp; They will impulse out of range of the warp jamming field, then blast away without a second thought, leaving us to die and unable to jump.&nbsp; The idea I am having is we abadone ship, escape pods blast as close to the fleet as possible, one destroyer falls back to help us out, picks us up, does some kick ass supression fire against incoming boarding ships, and after some tense minutes just gets outside the jamming field and warps us to safety.&nbsp; Leaving an nice self destructing carrier right in the middle of the orc fleet!<br><br>Or Paige can decided can leave them all to fight it out on the ship.&nbsp; Completely changes the direction of the RP, but as said before, you gotta adapt lol<br><br>Edit:&nbsp; Oh and Joslyn, if you want to wrap up the surgury, I'll get something going that Sarah can respond too.&nbsp; Or jsut you know, chill in surgery, your call.&nbsp;

				I don't know about that. I am far from a military expect, but I don't know if it has the kind of stores I'm thinking that you're thinking they have. Any troop mover has the weapons and ammo to move the troops, but isn't necessarily a weapons stockpile. Why would the fleet leave weapons and ammo unused in a place they could have damn well used as another head, or larger captain's quarters? <br><br>I wouldn't think any fleet would give grunts that much respect.

				Ah, now, the way I see it, this is not the first bioship that has been captured - how else would Paige know how to do it?<br><br>I reason this way: If a team of three can get onto a bioship to plant the explosives necessary to blow one and get off again with minimal or no losses, then an entire platoon can easily force their way on board. wipe out the orc guards and take the ship.<br><br>The problem is, and always has been, how do you convince an orc bioship to change sides: There are no controls on board, which the first team to capture one found to their cost. That first team couldn't get the ship to detach and died when the orcs finished slaughtering humans and came back for their own ship.<br><br>Subsequent attempts had similar success until one time someone with some latent PSI ability tripped and fell into what had previously been thought of as the "captain's bath". That team survived, because the guy in the gloop was able to somehow communicate with the bioship.<br><br>They avoided being blown out of the sky by sheer luck, I would imagine.<br><br>Paige hasn't actually thought that far ahead, but she has a Navy comm tech with her (Whom I'm going to make into a member of the team with your permission?) I'm sure she'll be able to cobble something together.

				I am fine the bio-ship interaction, just as long as you establish some technical contact with the Fleet ships.&nbsp; Because bioships communicate in their own form of strange psych bs I don't feel like like explaining lol<br><br>Just have someone contact the Destroyer coming to save all the escape pods when I post through human made comms.&nbsp; Otherwise, Paige and everyone on that ship are just stupid orcs flying to damned close and will been blown to pieces for it.&nbsp; <br><br>Get my meaning?<br><br>All's I mean is that if you want Paige and them to be picked up by actual Fleet ships, they need to make contact with humans in a human fashion.&nbsp; If you intend for them to float and head towards planet destination in this bio-ship just know they will come across a defense grid and be up against the same thing, just later on.&nbsp; And much further behind the current fleet.&nbsp; What bio-ships gain in stealth, they lack in speed compared to human ships.

				Sure, no problem. Like I said, we have a fleet comm-tech with us.<br><br>I'm sure there will be a standard signal that fleet comms will know even if army comms don't, because the bioships are not that hard to take if you know how and have sufficient firepower (and someone with latent esp or a special program in their wetware). I can imagine that other pockets of resistance might take the same escape route... So the destroyer would be watching for such, but also wary of trojans, some fleet vessels having been caught that way in the past...

				One minor thing, I had in her background that Sarah isn't eligible for promotion on account of being PES and flagged for loyalty issues. Otherwise her rank would have been specialist (assuming we're still going by American ranks) as a medic.<br><br>Supposing Warren got permission from higher up the food chain, maybe he could promote her to specialist.

				That is kinda the point of him giving her such a big promotion, to be more than an average bump up.&nbsp; In his own Ffffed way he is trying to sway her to the Imperial side, by bringing her up even if she isn't supposed to be.&nbsp; And I mean that is the great thing about battlefield promotions, by the time someone at IA figure's out she's been promoted and shouldn't have been, two months would have gone by lol<br><br>If you want though, in like a week story time have someone show up on world looking to not only get Tanaka in shit, but Warren as well if you really want.<br><br>And Chrystal, though I didn't intend for there be a serperate Royal and Imperial Navy's I do like the idea of there being a New Britian lol&nbsp; Like a serperate state within the Empire, that operates with and inside, but has independance of sorts.<br><br>And are you planning to bring Guillin's on somehow?

				My only suggestion is that you have Warren talk to Tanaka about it first, since if he asks the right questions he'll realize there's no amount of money or rank that's going to sway her. Also, she would warn him about the gravity of the situation--she's not an ordinary criminal after all.

The world's gravity was almost twice that of Earth, outside the range of "Earth Normal", and the air contained a much higher concentration of oxygen, as well as some rather nasty radiation. The colonists who survived the crash were quickly thinned out by natural selection, leaving only those with the ability to survive in the harsh environment. The world was rich in transuranic elements, and by the time the Empire re-established contact, there was a fairly healthy mining industry established.<br><br>Rosie joined the fleet straight out of high school, with her parents blessing, and specialised in communications. She graduated thirteenth in her class and was posted to a combat vessel. She has served without distinction and without any black marks, up until the loss of the Roger Young, whereupon she distinguished herself by keeping her head in a crisis, surviving when others could not, assisting in preventing the vessel falling into enemy hands, and finally in aiding in the rescue of a substantial number of survivors.<br><br>She has been recommended for promotion, and possible special duties.<br><br><strong>Education</strong><br><br>Crash City Mining School<br><br><strong>Service Record</strong><br><br>Enlisted as Spaceman Recruit, attended boot camp on Star Base Uniform Whisky Alpha.<br>Chose Communications specialisation, transferred to Phobos Naval base, Mars Orbit, as Spaceman Apprentice.<br>Graduated thirteenth, promoted to Spaceman, posted to ISS Typhoon.<br>Promoted to Petty Officer 3rd Class. Posted to ISS Eisenhower.<br>ISS Eisenhower badly damaged and pulled back for repair and refit.<br>Transferred to ISS Roger Young.<br>Promoted to Petty Officer 2nd Class.<br><br><strong>Psych Profile</strong><br><br>Until the Roger Young incident, Gullins was thought to be a normal, well adjusted, and perhaps slightly timid individual. She rarely excelled at anything, but equally rarely failed. She was almost entirely mediocre. Her one advantage over others is that she is generally twice as strong as someone the same size, due to natural adaptation to her home world's gravity.<br><br>However, following the loss of the Roger Young, Petty Officer Gullins has exhibited a new found desire for violence. It is recommended that she be transferred to the infantry combat unit she helped rescue as fleet liaison.<br><br><strong>Equipment</strong><br><br>Fleet uniform (fleet khaki)<br>Borrowed Infantry uniform<br>"Liberated" M4 <em>Close Quarter Battle Receiver</em> Marine assault carbine.<br>Borrowed Marine helmet<br>Special issue Navy Comm.

				So I had an idea for a (most likely temporary) second character. Basically she would be the political officer for the battalion our platoon is in, in some sort of ambiguous position outside the normal chain of command. Normally, political officers would act in an "advisory" role, but if they feel an officer's decision is unacceptable to the Empire's best interests they can belay an order or even try to take command.<br><br>If Warren decides to go through with promoting Tanaka against PES rules, the political officer gets wind of it and basically crawls up his ass and follows him around for a while in order to decide if he is compromised in his loyalty to the Empire. Then eventually one of three things would happen: the orcs get her, the other soldiers get her, or she becomes satisfied Warren is loyal and goes back to her regular position.<br><br>Let me know what you guys think. :)

Her loyalty to the current order is, by her actions and by every pysch test available, above reproach. However, due to her severe emotional issues and off-putting manner, it is recommended that she continue to be assigned to less important posts. Specifically, she should be kept anywhere that prevents her from encountering and offending important allies of the Propaganda Department.<br><br><strong>Education</strong><br><br>Riverside Boarding School for Displaced Children, Numera<br>Imperial University at Frontier City, Numera<br>Propaganda Department Indoctrination Center at Frontier City<br><br><strong>Service Record</strong><br><br>Assistant Director, PES Viability Center at Frontier City<br>Numera Viability Center Incident, wounded in action<br>Propaganda Department Military Ops Training at Widow’s Peak, Numera<br>Propaganda Department [REDACTED] at [REDACTED]<br>156th Mobile Infantry, Political Officer<br>Market Square Incident, cleared of all charges<br>206th Mobile Infantry, Political Officer<br><br><strong>Psych Profile</strong><br><br>Citizen Reinfeldt, despite her protests to the contrary, must have been deeply traumatized by the deaths of her parents at the hands of the separatist Numera Nationalist Front when she was seven years old. The subject has a deep-seated hatred of disloyalty to the Empire, which she claims (and likely believes) is due to ideological rather than personal reasons. Ultimately, the source of her loyalty is less important than its intensity, which is more than sufficient even by Propaganda Department standards.<br><br>The subject has been noted as severely isolated and overly suspicious. Colleagues find her unpleasantly intense and focused only on Propaganda Department business at all times. She seems to have no friends, and there is no evidence she has ever been involved in any sort of romantic or sexual relationship.<br><br>While Assistant Director of the Viability Center, she was often reported as overly violent toward the prisoners—though given the later treason of Director Collins these reports cannot be considered part of her official record. What is a matter of record is that during an official Propaganda Department fundraiser, she insulted the Numera planetary governor and claimed he was “coddling terrorists.” It is due to incidents such as this that Miss Reinfeldt has since been kept at low level military posts where her lack of tact cannot cause much damage.<br><br>Before she could be demoted from her Assistant Director position, the Numera Viability Center Incident took place. Reinfeldt’s superior proved to be a traitor who allowed Numera Nationalist terrorists into the prison in an attempt to rescue captured NNF soldiers. Reinfeldt was shot three times by the terrorists and left for dead along with the rest of the Center’s staff, but managed to recover a firearm and kill several of the terrorists and the Director. The most troubling indication of the subject’s mental instability is that, despite being so weak that she eventually passed out and almost died of blood loss, she somehow was able to shoot Director Collins eleven times and stab him fourteen times. Clearly, she took his betrayal very personally.<br><br>The subject has since performed admirably in the position of Battalion Political Officer, though her impressive success in ferreting out seven real traitors is somewhat counterbalanced by twenty-eight disruptive witch hunts to date. She was cleared of all wrong doing in Market Square Incident, where she seized command of Sergeant Hadley’s squad. Although the loss of fourteen civilians as collateral damage was regrettable, the destruction of the stolen encrypted disk—which contained information on [REDACTED]—was well worth the negative publicity.<br><br><strong>Equipment</strong><br><br>Uniform<br>Comm (Long-range, highly encrypted)<br>Infantry Protection (Level 3, light armored exoskeleton)<br>Infantry Supplies (Standard issue)<br>9mm pistol (Standard issue)<br>TF-3 assault rifle

And while she may be a fantantic, she is fairly observant and cunning--if opposing something would get her killed, she would simply pretend to give in and rectify the situation later.<br><br>I do love the idea of Paige forcing herself on Kara.&nbsp; ;D Maybe at some time after the next mission they end up alone and a heated discussion turns into a fight turns into some at knife-point NC goodness?&nbsp; &gt;:) Kara definitely has a self-hating submissive streak she could be manipulated with, on account of how tightly wound she is and all the awful things she has done for the "greater good."

				Ah, very true.<br><br>Well, she's not exactly experienced herself... OOH! I have a great scenario:<br><br>Rosie begs Kara to do "something, anything", to satisfy this craving.

				Well, Kara will probably ask Rosie to wait a couple minutes before following her out, on account of taking advantage of someone drugged up like that is kind of rape-y and she doesn't want to get caught. But maybe someone could see them together after they leave separately and tell Paige so the precaution would be for naught.<br><br>Of course, if Paige does catch Kara in the act, that's perfect blackmail material for Paige to take advantage of and punish Kara in turn.&nbsp; &gt;:)<br><br>I kind of see the infantry PD as having a very nebulous sort of position outside the chain of command, but I would agree Paige has the right to know what charges would be leveled against one of her soldiers if that came up.

				lol, I'm afraid Sarah is a bit too delicate to be treated that roughly and not take it personal.&nbsp; :P Warren has made a bit of a frenemy in Sarah for the time being.<br><br>Fortunately, Kara is only moderately evil so she wouldn't deny Key fast track just because she is having problems with Warren. I figure she waits for Key to get better, goes through the motions for a couple days to get some decent sounding info and then gives him back to Warren in order to see if there is any sign that Warren and Key or Tanaka and Key are colluding somehow (Kara's plenty paranoid).

				Post up shortly. :) I've never really tried to write a D/s sort of thing from anything other than the sub prespective. Fortunately Kara is just as inexperienced as I am so I have a ready excuse :P And you can feel free to have Paige break in at any moment you want and turn the tables once she figures out Rosie is drugged. I love when evil characters get their comeuppance.&nbsp; &gt;:)<br><br>One thing to keep in mind is that while Paige can blackmail Kara into sex slavery, Kara is way too dedicated to the Empire to be compromised in her duties. If Paige tries to push Kara to show anyone special politcal consideration (such as trying to help Key), she would accept Mutually Assured Destruction rather than give in (sure Kara is a rapist, but blackmailing a PD is probably punishable by death).

				Aww. And there I was going to have Paige record the noises coming from inside Kara's room and go back to the LT with the recording.... I guess I still could, only to have Warren say, rather drunkenly, "So fuckin' what?" or words to that effect.<br><br>Don't forget that Paige doesn't know about Key yet, but will probably think that having some juicy intel on the battalion PD has got to be worth something.

				Well, my idea was that Paige would burst in, Kara would tell her to get out, but then Rosie would say something that would cause Paige to realize what was going on. Once Paige knows Kara took advantage of Rosie while the drug side-effects were making her all horny, that's blackmail worthy material. <br><br>After Paige uses the information to in turn rape Kara, it's basically a stalemate seeing as they've both done something very wrong.

				Actually, I just wish we had more players. With the three of us it is fun, but not exactly what I call a group game.

				Hey Joslyn if you want we can just skip her actually going back to Warren and RPing out that scene, would seem kinda I don't know, blah lol<br><br>But what he'd say is that he'll agree to owing the Captain a favour so long as Key gets to claim asylum as well.&nbsp; It'll cost him more he knows, but to Warren it would be worth it.&nbsp; And maybe have him hint and saying sorry.&nbsp; never would he say but perhaps have Tanaka comment on that he seemed to regret what he'd done.<br><br>And Ninja I can not for the life of me find your profile lol&nbsp; Gunna keep looking but resend it if you can,&nbsp; Jesus I don't know how that happened lol<br><br>As for bringing him in, have him stop by and find Warren passed out drunk.&nbsp; Maybe he tries to sober the LT up with water and such lol

				(Let me know if I get anything wrong, I'm mostly going from memory. I'm leaving out characters who are now gone as they aren't that important to the game going forward. I'm leaving out new characters as they haven't gotten to do much yet, that should change soon!)<br><br>The story started earlier today aboard the <em>Roger Young,</em> a troop transport, with a new platoon composed of a mix of combat veterans and new recruits. The ship was in space on the way to reinforce an imperial planet being attacked by "orcs" (big, ugly, stupid, and primitive aliens who use organic technology of mysterious origins). LT Warren was assigned to take charge of this platoon in 206th Mobile Infantry which has some maladjusted soldiers:<br><br>SFC Kerry Paige, Platoon Sergreant (played by Chrystal), is a good NCO but has had a lot of trouble playing nice with officers.<br><br>PVT Sarah Tanaka, Medic (played by Joslyn), is serving only to escape life imprisonment for non-violent protest against the oppressive Empire.<br><br>PFC Leonard Church, Point Man (played by Cal), is an experienced soldier who is serving reluctantly.<br><br>PVT Jennifer Daniso, Grenadier (played by Cal), is a former drug addict convicted of murder (though that is not yet common knowledge in the platoon).<br><br>PVT Rosie Gullins, CommTech (played by Chrystal), originally was part of the <em>Roger Young</em> crew but was rescued by Paige (see below).<br><br>(Not technically part of the platoon)<br><br>Citizen Kara Reinfeldt, Political Officer of the 206th (played by Joslyn), is an Imperial fanatic constantly looking for signs of treason for the Propaganda Department. PD is feared and hated by many and its officers exist in a nebulous position outside the normal chain of command.<br><br><hr><br>Before the <em>Roger Young</em> could reach its destination it was attacked and boarded by orcs. Warren organized the defence of his deck and sent Paige to reinforce the bridge. Tanaka occupied an inactive secondary infirmary to deal with all the wounded. Church and Daniso were involved in the destruction of alien boarding craft and (unbeknowst to the rest of a platoon) killed a corporal who went crazy and unfairly blamed them for the death of the squad leader.<br><br>Paige encountered heavy resistance, and by the time she reached the bridge the only survivor there was Gullins, who would later decide to join the platoon. More alien boarding craft were approaching and Paige made the decision to abandon ship and set it to self-destruct. Paige and her soldiers fought their way to an alien boarding craft and took it over. Everyone else got to escape pods.<br><br>All the <em>Roger Young</em> survivors were rescued by the destroyer <em>Kidd,</em> a Commonwealth warship (the Commonwealth is a client state under the thumb of the Empire) which will ferry them to their original destination. Things are very overcrowded and the platoon is occupying a galley to live in for the trip.<br><br>Since the arrival on the <em>Kidd</em> new soldiers as being transferred into the platoon to bring it back up to strength (these are the new players). These soldiers are survivors of other units aboard the <em>Roger Young</em> that have been disbanded because there were so few survivors.<br><br><hr><br>Events in the galley so far new characters may have witnessed:<br><br>Some water was brought in so the soldiers could bathe. Church punched a very large German soldier who groped Tanaka while she was nude and trying to wash up. Daniso broke up the altercation before the German and his friends could beat the shit out of Church by aiming her gun at them. Church, Tanaka, and Daniso were all seen to leave the galley together (Tanaka has since returned).<br><br>A young man, Private Key (NPC not currently played by anyone), fled the galley and was arrested after a contraband search by Citizen Reinfeldt found an illegal politcal treatise among his belongings.<br><br>(There is a lot of other stuff that has happened that would not be common knowledge, such as some behind the scenes political maneuvering that is leading to Tanaka being promoted and the fact that Reinfeldt was taking sexual advantage of a drugged up Gullins and has just been caught by Paige).

				Kara still needs to have her friendly chat with Warren about the promotion before we can move forward--how well or poorly he handles it will determine just how paranoid she gets (and if she really becomes convinced Warren is a traitor then we'll have to kill her off before she derails the whole game heh).<br><br>This sex scene with Kara was just supposed to be a fun little diversion, I would be fine with getting back to it later or skimming over it if it is bogging down the game.

				Ninja, Dave doesn't need to grovel.&nbsp; He (as well as you if you wish to stay, and if not I understand and hold no ill-bare feelings) just needs to except the way of things.&nbsp; And the way of things in this universe is that soldiers, like he are expendable in the bulk compared to soldiers like Paige.&nbsp; Paige gets the system, she gets that a person isn't their individual value, it is the value to the whole.&nbsp; And those are vastly different things compared to what we hold now.&nbsp; Whether it be soldier, former soldier or civilian.&nbsp; In most cases I believe.&nbsp; I could very well be wrong.<br><br>But this is a dictatorship, a very strong, a very powerful, a very cruel dictatorship.&nbsp; At the same time, it provides a reasonably fair system of justice for its civilians.&nbsp; On a whole (considering the entire expanse of the Empire, which is massive I assure you) it provides peace and stabability.&nbsp; Most Imperial Citizens go their whole lives without worrying about orcs, bugs, xenoes and whatever else we may cook up.&nbsp; Our characters however are the not the peace indulging, worry free civilians.&nbsp; They are soldiers.&nbsp; Soldiers in a universe where they are treated on a very biased, and very controlled scale.&nbsp; One where, unlike today, public opinion has no meaning.<br><br>So Ninja again I understand if you wish to show yourself the door, I really do.&nbsp; At the same time, despite what has happened, I guarantee I can find a place in this unit for David and in this RP for you.&nbsp; I am a chauvinistic fuck at heart you want the truth of it, and any time I call a girl, 'hon' 'sugar' 'darlin' etc in a none blatantly flattering way, it is patronizing.&nbsp; Because I am a son of a bitch like that and I assume any man who talks like me is the same.&nbsp; May not be fair, but no one said life was fair.&nbsp; If you can except the reasoning for me talking as did from that, and all is well with other players, I see no reason you can't stay.<br><br>I see David as an interesting character and I see you as being an interesting RPer, but if you don't think it will work, you don't think it will work. All I got for now, so consider what I said please.<br><br>On a side note I did consider sending this in a PM to talk with Ninja directly, but figured it could give everyone more incite to how I am conducting things.&nbsp; If anyone, absolutely anyone has issue with that, PM me and we will discuss it privately.&nbsp; Same goes with any topic.&nbsp; You send me a PM and we talk, it will not show up here.

				Okay, lets all calm down!<br><br>I was just a little bit frustrated last night, sorry<br><br>I have the following issues with people's posts.<br><br>1) David would know to call Paige "Sarge" if he's not straight out of boot camp or he would have been dead a long time ago.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"On your shit list, Sergeant.&nbsp; Duly noted, Sarge.&nbsp; I'd certainly hate to die while on your shit list, First Sergeant.&nbsp; I shall make removing myself from that list my main motivator from this day forward, Sergeant Paige, second only to pleasing the Emperor." He almost sounded sincere.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>2) That little speech would have been better delivered after Paige left, because at best it would have earned him a fist in the gut and at worst a flechette in the brain, had she heard it. Please try and keep continuity. If you are going to say something behind the sergeant's back, please make a point of posting that you say it after she has left.<br><br>3) My main problem is with OrderNChaos' post. He clearly has read nothing of what has gone before and has made his own assumptions about Paige which if he'd read the story so far would be clearly proven erroneous. Either that, or his character is clearly making some very wrong assumptions.<br><br>But my main issue is that a career sergeant would even consider the possibility that she could "usurp" the position of a senior non-com. This isn't a gang of school kids, this is a military unit, and any change in command would be required to be authorised by a more senior officer. Either that or as I pointed out it would be illegal and punishable by summary execution without trial.<br><br>Order, if you had read the conversation starting [urlhttp://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=124657.msg5503741#msg5503741]here[/url], you would see that Paige actually shares Cosinara's opinion on needlessly wasting lives, she is in no way gung-ho, she is not a glory hound, and she has had her fair share of run-ins with senior officers who were, having actually killed more than one herself. Her respect for Warren comes from the fact that he's a ranker - he started as a private too, which is why he's old enough to be a general but is only a lieutenant, and he shares her opinion of "Ruperts" - officers who have graduated from a military academy with no combat experience.<br><br>Now, I'm happy to let the troops bitch as they will. That is not my issue. My issue is with the open disrespect to a senior non-com. You want to bitch, you do it when she's not there. And if you want to plan a mutiny, you do so in the knowledge that if you fail, you die. And in the knowledge that to reach Warrant Officer rank, Paige would have survived more than one attempt on her life by those thinking that way, and is more than likely already suspicious of the sergeant who did not immediately make herself known...<br><br>Further, Paige will now be looking at Cosinara as a slacker, and will definitely have it in for her.<br><br>Now, if you are content with this situation, fine. Otherwise may I recommend editing your post to include a reply to Paige's demand to know who she is and what she is doing there, and removing the mutinous thoughts?<br><br>If you wish to do that, then we can start off on a better footing. If you don't then I'm afraid Cosinara is not going to be around very long!<br><br><hr><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=124663.msg6824131#msg6824131">Quote from: NinjaWeazel on 28-08-2012, 00:13:09</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Nothing personal, hon.&nbsp; This is just sort of what happens when people try and handle SpecOps like ordinary fodder grunts.&nbsp; Hell, David still did the push-ups for her just to keep the peace.&nbsp; And I certainly didn't expect anything different, considering Warren is still too drunk to warn her that there are some honest-to-god wolves among her sheep now.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Couple of points here.<br><br>First, Cal, I have no problem with being called "hon", "Bitch", "Dyke" or anything else for that matter.<br><br>Second, as noted above, my problem is not with Feather's reaction, it's with his initial insubordination, however, that has been dealt with IC. I have no problem with the fact that the "wolves" don't trust Paige. The feeling is mutual and respect is earned in combat. But - did you ever see a film called Heartbreak Ridge starring Clint Eastwood?&nbsp; Gunny Highway is actually whom I'm basing the character of Kerry Paige on.<br><br>She's treating the "wolves" like boots because so far she's seen nothing to tell her any different! If she had gotten genuine respect from Feather, she might have taken a different view on him, but rank insubordination is not something she will tolerate.

In a modern western army there are no conscripts, casualties are expected to be low, and everyone has a clear idea of what they are fighting for. None of these things are true in the universe of the game. While the characters may be fighting against an evil force trying to kill all of humanity, they're also fighting for an evil force--albeit one the vast majority honestly feel there is no alternative to. Thus intimidating the troops into fighting is an approach many officers and NCOs might use, though not every soldier will react well to it.<br><br>Also keep in mind that life is cheap here--if someone is perceived as being a severe liability, either by the Propagada Department or the leaders of his or her unit, murder is not out of the question as a way to deal with it. Thus being disrespectful can actually being dangerous to David'd life.<br><br>Now, its entirely possible that in-character David has a severe problem with all of this--Sarah would certainly agree with him although she probably would not admit it openly out of fear. But he would need to know how to tell people like Paige and Warren want they need to hear for his own safety. The thing about Paige and Warren is that while they may genuinely care about their troops on some level, they are also cogs in the Imperial machine and this will cause them to act in a brutal fashion in certain circumstances.

				Actually the question of landing the troops is one that the command staff along with all on board senior Infatntry officers is currently addressing.&nbsp; Spit balls of launching exscape pods and life boats has been thrown around, but the most likely thing that is going to happen is they are going to duck tape (meterphor...maybe lol) anything that can go from zero G into atmo and fit as many people on it as possible, launch them and pray for the best.&nbsp; While their will be other carriers in orbit, they will be busy landing their own troops and trying to stay alive.&nbsp; Being that we aren't quiet done with that orc bio ship fleet lol<br><br>Truth is though I'll likely jump to where we have already landed (everyone can go over their own experience through flash back), and in your case Chrystal where Paige has already recieved her own brief, which she would of course get.&nbsp; As would Sergeants as group, so Sarah would be in that one as well.<br><br>But no for those higher ups things are not going well.&nbsp; And later in the RP your characters will be hearing of mass excutions of the people higher in the line.&nbsp; As of now though, your characters will do as told and frankly not have to worry about the 'how' of things until they are on the ground and going into the shit.<br><br>Fleet and the Brass have it all under control...You may now weep and scream lol<br><br>And yes Chrystal, that is exactly what I meant with that line.

				Might as well say in here because it'll revealed rather soon, but the plan is that the Fleet and RN will abandon us.&nbsp; <br><br>We'll be stuck on this rock with only what we got on the ground, which is a Company with Warren as the Commanding Officer (God save us all lol) and a very limited amount of supplies.&nbsp; Warren has already received this message and broadcast it out to officers and high ranked NCO's.&nbsp; Church only overheard it because he was on run around duty.&nbsp; Warren is attempting to contact the Kidd and ask for an orbital bombardment around their position.&nbsp; So our two snipers will have to get underground quick if they want to live through this thing because Douglas is just gunna light up the whole fucking candle them jump away.<br><br>Now Fleet has said they will send support when they have a true fix on the situation in this sector, but don't count on it.&nbsp; Plan will be to dig in, conserve ammo until enough of our own people have died to create a small enough group that can engage in gorilla warfare.&nbsp; I know, why not do that now, but the truth is too many people are too inexperienced and will only kill the group as a whole when they move from their dug in position.&nbsp; Warren needs those people to die so what he is left with is real soldiers who will be able to survive and not slow anyone down.<br><br>And that is the direction we are going people.&nbsp; I suggest watching both Apocalypse Now and Platoon ASAP Lil&nbsp; And throw Deer Hunter in there just for a kick :P<br><br>Questions, suggestions, anything bring up and we'll hash out.&nbsp; And yes I know, this is a lot of losing for our side, but sometimes that happens folks.&nbsp; We'll get a win in...One day...

				Okay, so Gullins contacting Kidd and getting cut off mid transmission is acceptable then?<br><br>I know that the above is <em>your</em> plan, but I really don't think it should be Warren's plan, at this stage. If Paige were to find out he were planning to have 90% casualties, he'd be one of them, and she would work on an alternative plan - like splitting the survivors into groups and sending them off to cause as much havoc as possible.<br><br>The net result would be the same, because she would keep the best troops in her own group, and put NCOs she didn't like in charge of the other groups... But they would at least stand some chance - more that just waiting for them to die...<br><br>So, I offer two alternatives :-<br><br>1) The alternate plan as presented above.<br><br>2) Warren doesn't plan on getting 90% casualties, it just happens, and he leads the survivors away under cover of whatever cover they can find...<br><br>Oh, or, alternate alternate plan 1) might be to split the group up but stay in radio contact, so the player characters maybe get split into twos and threes... Then as each group suffers casualyties that bring it down to just the PCs with no NPCs left, they contact the nearest group and join up with them.<br><br>

				Have Gullins contact the Kidd and request an ordibital bombardment, then get cut off if you want.&nbsp; We'll find out that they got the message when it starts raining down hell from the heavens lol<br><br>As for the plan, Warren isn't looking for 90%, in fact he doesn't have set amount of when to break into the guirilla tactics.&nbsp; When he feels the group is at a good enough point to actually survive is when it will happen.&nbsp; And ya Paige can bring these things to him and he will consider it, but also say he wants to keep the dead around him so as to get their supplies.&nbsp; If they are all broken up, any time a group dies there goes their resources with them.<br><br>But I like the characters being broken up and then coming together.&nbsp; Like have the sniper group on their own for a while and trying to make their way back, Church and Paige maybe together, maybe poor Tanaka ends up totally alone, Warrer and PD stuck with each other, and Gullins turning into this orc killing machine and just leaving bodies in tree's lol<br><br>I don't know.&nbsp; After the bombardment I'll write up a post though to get the situation in stone.

				If we do split the characters up for a while, it might be interesting to have Tanaka and Gullins end up together for a while. Might make for a strained time together, since Sarah knows about the rape but cant really say anything about it, while Gullins seems pretty gung-ho for the empire and might not like being stuck with someone who is loyalty-flagged.

				On the one hand, this game does feel like it's been going on forever, but this is only the second battle so far. I do feel playing the "drama through massive casualties" trope can get stale and that we should not be eager to use it again after this.<br><br>Might be worthwhile to take another shot at recruiting for the game, where the new players would be survivors of the colony (military and/or civilian) who have been using asymetric tactics against the orcs.<br><br>This could also replenish the platoon's manpower and would be an excuse to retool the unit as something better than cannon fodder. Possibly the platoon could also scavage more gear, ammo, and supplies. I realize this isn't a space opera or far future sci-fi but a few new toys might be fun.&nbsp; :P<br><br>In the long run hopefully we leave this planet successful and move on to either more terrifying (xenomorphs) or more morally ambiguous enemies. Or even have something happen that shakes most of the soldiers' loyalty to the Empire and sends us rogue.

				Honestly I haven't really been sure where to go with the story, which is part of the reason why I haven't really posted.&nbsp; I agree with Joslyn, constantly being over run and out gunned gets kinda tiring.&nbsp; Adding a bit more story and plot to the thread might make us more likely to get deeper into the program.<br><br>Just my .02.<br><br>Cheers.

				One thing I thought I'd mention is that if the platoon ends up awol from the Empire we'll need to leave behind or kill off Kara because she'd never go along with that sort of thing. Not that I'd mind, when I first thought of her I figured she would be a temporary character. If we don't kill her we could perhaps put her on a bus (as they say on tvtropes) and have her show up as an antagonist down the road.

				I think putting her on the bus a is great idea lol&nbsp; And we won't being going AWOL, rather be deployed under the command of Douglas, the platoon officially taking on the role of something like the Royal Marines today and serving on his ship.&nbsp; We all on the same technically, so unless you're the guy doing the paper work, don't worry about it.&nbsp; Bottom line will be, we are on Douglas's ship, he is in command.&nbsp; Warren will have someone in the Commonwealth he can report too, but I think I'll make that guy a drunk who don't rightly give a shit lol<br><br>In reality Douglas will be using our platoon much more like a mercenary band.&nbsp; Sending us into operations which will help his interests or complete any orders he might be getting from Admiralty House.&nbsp; So will mean a lot more movement from place to place for us, and less Imperial rhetoric lol<br><br>So as far as Kara is concerned, she could stay with the platoon and get solid evidence on everyone involved, thus exposing them for corruption and treason.&nbsp; Or she could vow revenge and take another assigned after something happens to her?&nbsp; Maybe during evacuation she actually has a legitimate accident and gets injured.&nbsp; Her paranoid mind will see it as an attack, but she was really just wrong place, wrong time lol

				Hmm, well if the reassignment is at least technically legal from an Imperial point of view, I suppose Kara would lose her authority over the platoon to the previously mentioned Loyalist Squad that are her Commonwealth equivalent. She would of course be super pissed off and see this is the worst possible light (i.e. pretty much the only thing she ever does). Tanaka will probably be her white whale after that.&nbsp; ;D<br><br>In this case, might as well just have Kara rescued normally with the rest of the group and then just get assigned elsewhere by the Propaganda Department after the dust settles.

				Well seeing as how Max really hasn't ever integrated much into the platoon, she doesn't have a lot of loyalty to anyone on the unit, and given her experiences over the past few months I don't think she's going to blink twice at getting away from the Empires control for a while.&nbsp; Nor do I think she'd pass up some well needed field comfort.&nbsp; &nbsp;&gt;:)

				Okay, so entire Company was virtually teleported to the hanger of the Kidd.&nbsp; We all should be dead, and unless we are in that much of a shit storm again, we will not teleport again.&nbsp; And you should be happy about that.&nbsp; Teleportation is unreliable at such low mass's, which is why shuttles are used just about exclusively.<br><br>Big cheat I know, but I wanted to get moving on to something else you guys would like.&nbsp; So all just type something to get your people to this point, don't be afraid to skip ahead a few hours, do your own thing, the Kidd is outside the warp jamming field and on its way to safe harbor.&nbsp; Once there, everyone will find out their position and we'll be given our knew mission.<br><br>Sorry all this is rushed, but just wanted to give you guys something to work with.&nbsp; Again use a lot of a liberties here people.<br><br>Go ARGOS!!! <br><br>Only Canadians will get that lol<br>

				So with not only Joslyn's little post, but the general decline of the RP I have decided to officially end it.&nbsp; I know it hs been practically so for a long time, but who doesn't like things in a nice bow.&nbsp; So as sad as I am it doesn't continue, I gotta say I am proud of it.&nbsp; Though not near that long lasting (barely a year), I did enjoy it. <br><br>Joslyn and Chrystal, right from the start you were there, I thank you for that.&nbsp; You have no idea how much that means to me, sorry couldn't keep the old girl running.<br><br>Order and Ninja, weren't with us as long, and rough starts yes, but mostly I am sorry for not giving you guys enough opertunity.&nbsp; Still, great characters and I hope you can use them for something else or that this RP help in some way.<br><br>So ya, there's the end.&nbsp; Don't think I'll be starting another group RP for a while to be honest, but ya'll find any worth looking into or have good one x one idea's, I am always open for a pitch.<br><br>I ask that no one post in the main thread, I do plan on trying to find out if I can lock it or put it somewhere that no one can post in, but I'll do that later.&nbsp; If anyone wants to write up a little blub like I did for Church and Daniso, just do so and PM it to me and I'll edit it in.<br><br>Anyway, again thanks for everyone, so you all around ;)<br><br>Cal
