Starship Troopers.

[Morgoth]

With food duty finished, Dima walked back to his quarters. When he got there, he picked up a photo of his family. He was married and had two sons and a daughter. He didn't hear the hiss.

 

[poohlive]

Derek went up to the list, showing what everyone had to do for the day. His heart cringed as he saw he was on weapons detail. That meant he had to go, recheck, reload, and clean every weapon on the ship.
Derek made his way to the weapons room. He got to work, starting on the marauders, cleaning the insides, the outsides, checking systems. It went by pretty smoothly. After an hour or so he watched as Alex came in, she had the same detail too.
"Hey, grab a towel and dig in. I have the marauders almost done, so you can start on the guns."
He hadn't seen her before yesterday, but she did looked pretty, "So, you got hell detail too?" she asked.
Derek nodded, "I don't know why we have to do this, everyone knows how to check and clean their own equipment. This is just a waste of time."
She looked up at him, a half assembled rifle in her hand, "I really don't like the fact that I would have to clean and check a gun while some bug is about to kill me, do you?"
He could sense some hate in that sentence, "I am sorry, it is just that this isn't how I expected to spend my enlistment time, cleaning guns."
She put the weapons back together, "well we all do our part."
Derek nodded, cleaning the last marauder, and startig up on the guns with her. Derek decided he liked her, there was something about her he couldn't quite place, but he knew he liked it.
She looked at him, smiling, then went back to work. He did the same. There were a lot of guns to clean.

 

[Cryo]

Days weny buy with little to report. Then suddenly, the unit was drawn together. "Listen up apes, Our new orders in! Wyoming squad's ship went down 2 hours ago in PLanet Que, in the Vegan system. Were going in for a little search and rescue! Everyone will get a standared marlanda class rifle (same as described in the last mission), and a Shockstick. We drop in 6 hours, so Move!"
"Sir yes sir!"

 

[Roland Gilliad]

"Sir!"
*Jim Saluted*
"Should i bring my C-5's and Vulcan Custom Sir?"

 

[Cryo]

"negative on the vulcan corporal. But keep that c-5 ready. We might just need it."
"Sir!" raynor saluted and left.

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen's eyes sparkled with anticipation. This was why she had joined. The action... adrenaline of it all... she knew a lot of the others just wanted to be citizens... she actually joined because this is what she wanted to do.

She already admired Lt Wolff... she knew she'd learn a lot from him. "Sir! Private Malone reporting Sir!" She stood at attention armed and ready awaiting further instructions.

 

[Cryo]

At ease private. We have 3 and a half hours untill the drop. Check your equipment again and do your other personal stuff. Unlike a frontline battle, we won't have backup or resources, so equipment efficiancy is more valuable now than on the moon."
"Sir yes sir"
That malone sure likes to kill her bugs. Wolff thought that as he tested his suit for malfunctions. If only they all were like that.

 

[Gateleader]

Alex stood behind Wolffi.He was intresting.
"Having fun Lt.?"
Alex walked away. She clmbed onto a crate and meditated.

 

[Cryo]

Wolff gave a sidewards glance at the psychic. At least she's not a specialist, wolff thought to himself. This way at least, a few battles could straighten her out.

 

[Morgoth]

Dima stood there admiring the photo when suddenly an enormous metallic tentacle(think doctor octopus from Spoider-man. Althogh this is not him. This is a newly discovered race of alien, give me time, I know you all probably just want to stick with regular Starship troopers, but this an, I think, much needed twist that splits away from just the same old battles) broke through the roof. A creature jumped in after it. The creature was dressed in a metallic body suit, but one could still see most of it's details. It had enormous claws, 8 mettalic tentacles, and a mantis-like head."What are you?" asked Dima. "I am a Mantis", it answered gently. "What do you want?" Dima asked. "Your world", came the hiss as it shouldered an enormous laser and blasted a pure strea at him. He screamed and ran through the door. The Mantis used it's tentacles to move as it seemed. It ripped off a section of the roof and crawled out. It let out a miniature roar.

 

[Cryo]

All hell broke loose. The red lights started flashing and a very loud sound was repeating. THe com opened up. "Intruder alert! intruder alert! Hull breach in Section c-3 Intrudersmaking their way through to the excercise deck."
"Shit, that's my section!" wolff cursed as he called his troopers to get their weapons.


OOC; wow morgoth, if I wasn't so sure I'de assume you were trying to take over this thread. What with the New bugs, and now these mantis creatures. And so close to our next mission. How can the Wyoming squad surivie if were fighting mantis's on our own ship?

 

[Gateleader]

Alex grabbed Woffli's arm."wait." He turned and looked ather.
"allow me." Alex opened her mind and entered the bugs mind.
"Deck two, section three. One soilder with him. Class two bug. Guns or laserrifles will take him out."
Alex watched as soilders ran past her. she mentaly conectd again.
~Hello scum bag.~She laughed as she felt the bug jerk up.
~wakeie, akie. Time to play.~
Alex slammed into his brain with a metal punch. She began to beat him with her mind. Through his eyes she could see Wolffi and the troops.
~Death is to easy, bug. hat I have in mind for you is..oh so nice.~
Alex turned and walked to a consel.
"Wolffi, don't kill it. Intel would like to have a chat with our fiend.

 

[Cryo]

The message came over the com after Alex's speech. "Lt. Wolff, Lt. Razak, Lt. Samsun, we want those bugs alove if possible."
"Alltight Wildcats, Tranques and shocksticks only! Move it move it!" Wolff ran to the dek Alex informed him, where Dima was allready trying to shoot them. One fell, but there were still 2 more. Wolff shot some tranques into one while at the same time pulling Dima back. The last one came charging through, but was pellited back with shots from his troops, allready on the scene.

 

[Maniac9538]

OOC: sorry joining this so late....if it's cool with y'all I'll join in if not it's cool

 

[Cryo]

OOC; Sure, come on in! I just have a few requirements.
1. You must have seen the movie.
2. It is highly recomended you read the book
3. I personally recomend you watch the TV-show (It is a good tv-show).

That's about it. If you've read the book, then you can come in as a specialist. If not, then E-mail me so I can give you the base details necessary for this thread (What a powersuit is, etc...)

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: You watch the T.V. show too? I thought I was the only nerdy overlord that woke up in the morning, turned the wall T.V. on and watched as some Balrogs whipped a few slaves. Also, this is only a scout party, there are only five of them, okay? And these little suckers are tough to kill. And quit acusing me of taking over threads.

IC: "Wait, we might want one alive", shouted Dima. He pulled out a fire extinguisher and sprayed it. It froze but didn't die."Help me haul it to the medlab", he said.

 

[Cryo]

OOC; Echem, Did you read my earlier posts? the intel was Sicon needed them alive. Also, you put yourself in a position to fight desperately for your life. you were in no place to bark out orders or even think about saving one of them! I was pumping them with tranques. That's short for Tranquilizerd! you know, the chemicle that puts living things to sleep? (key word here is sleep)and furthermore, we were just about to go on a mission to save another squad (not a siege, so there would only be a fw groups of bugs at a time, devide and conquer, you know, everything but staying in one place listening to orders). Now we have to deal with these, Get repairs on the ship, take them back to Sicon HQ; weeks and months out of our way which could be spent on actuall missions. meanwhile, Wyoming squad becom perminant MIA's, and we would probably miss most of the tauphet champaign.

IC; Wolff pumps many more tranques into the new bugs while his squad show up and do the same.

[Maniac9538]

Suddenly from an over-cropping a rapid fire of rounds poured down onto the newly advancing bugs taking out a good amount of them. over the radio a voice is heard 'That all of them or do ya need more sniper cover?' Slid down the rock face and landed in front of the troops. Snapped to attention and saluted Lt Wolff. 'Sergeant Lou Williams reports SAH!....Sicon code level Black (black ops...hehehe had ta do it) aka Maniac. ID# 54867897 Sicon sent me here to help y'all out. Just tell me where ta go and I'll go and kick some bug ass.'


OOC: Read the book, saw the movie AND watches the TV show every Mon-Thur. morning Religiously on the Sci-Fi channel.

Name: Lou Williams aka Maniac
Job: Black ops member, sniper, demolitionist and typical grunt, insane.
Looks: stands 6'8 black and red streaked hair (yeah out of regs but he's black ops, they could care less) weighs 280 lbs.

Gear: typical gear for a grunt, though you might get him with an advanced version of the rifle one that allows him to snipe targets over a great distance.

 

[Cryo]

OOC; that type of a rifle doesn't exist. if you need to snipe great distances (greater then your suit's targeting system) then use a standared sniper rifle (the one from the Movie, Planet P dustoff scene, if you need a visual referance). You will be wanted as I expect some people ::looks suspiciously at Morgoth:: will back themselves into a corner and not make it out alive.


IC; "Glad you showed up private. Now help Raynor prep the one of them that managed to survive for transport. After repairs, we're bringing it to Sicon Temporary HQ on planed Judor 5."
"As for you" Wolff looked at Dima. "Since you seem to allways get youself into the worst trouble, and since we have ALL this free time on our hands, your doing double shifts of VR training. And I expect hundred percent kill factor Every time! If one holographic bug get's a foot away from you, you have to start over!"
"Sir, yes sir..."

 

[Maniac9538]

Kicks the bug a few times making sure it's asleep and ties it up, snapping a few of the front legs to make sure it can't move. Goes to the next and as he goes to tie it up it lunges forward at him trying to kill him, suddenly blood covers anyone near him and the bug. Green blood covers his power suit, pulls out the machete that is standard issue to all MI's. Shrugs to Lt. Wolff, 'It came at me' ties the rest up without incident. and loads them up onto the transport. Walks back to the Lt. and salutes coming to the position of attention 'loaded and ready to go SAH!'

 

[Cryo]

OOC; that was for transport, not to transport. THe roger young, heading back for repairs anyway, is bringing the bugs along.

IC; "Very good Private. Go follow th rest of my squad and find yourself a bunk" Wolff made his way to the Comm. room, where leutenants Samsun and Razak were allready conferring with General Redwing about the situation.

 

[Morgoth]

Dima stood on an alien planet as bugs poured out from the cliffs. He began to fire everything he had. Then taking a step back, he planted mines. The bugs rushed right onto the mines and exploded sending green blood and bug organs everywhere. He began to throw his grenades and fire with his main gun at the same time. No bug was going to get past him.

 

[Cryo]

Wolff watched Dima's training simulation with dissapointment. He was for the most part doing well. However, his aim was so off that he needs an average of 7 bullets to take out a simple warrior bug. The simulations were designed to be difficult, yes, had it been a reallife situation then the best of the MI would have fallen there. However, it was also designed to be completable without the use of mones, grenades, or even shotgun ammo, simply the marinda rifle. Yet here was Dima, pooring his ammo and depleating his stocks.
Eventually, Dima pulled off the Vr healmet looking triumfent. THe look faded when he saw Lt. Wolff's face. "I want you do do it again and again. You will have only the marinda rifle and 3 grenades. When you can survive with 2 grenades left over, then you may retire for the night."
Dima looked down, but grungilly agreed. "Yes sir..." He put the VR helmet back on, held up his rifle, and wated for the hoard to come again.

 

[poohlive]

Derek slowly poured the grayish stuff from his spoon to his plate. He picked it up again, and slowly turned the spoon, making it slop back onto his plate. Derek sat alone, not wanting to talk to anyone while he slopped his lunch.
"Hey, you all right?" Derek looked up, it was Sydney. He hadn't talked to her since the party last night. Derek nodded, not really sure if it was the truth.
"We are leaving for a new assignment soon, did you hear?" She tasted the gray stuff, her nose wrinkled at it, Derek smirked. She was always a funny one, he had to give her that.
"Yeah, I heard after I came back from weapons detail. You hear about the intruder?" being locked in that room Derek seemed to have missed all teh action.
"I was there Derek, we got the slimy thing, alive too. It was a new one."
Derek lowered his head, they were getting smarter, and no matter what we did they kept growing in numbers. Derek swallowed some water, the only thing half edible on his plate, "Do you think we will win this?"
"Well, it is only a rescue miss..."
"No," Derek interrupeted her, "The bug war, do you think we will win?"
She paused, not sure how to answer this, then went on, "Derek, as long as there are asshole privates like us, they don't stand a chance."
A speech worthy of Ben Franklin, Derek smiled, "Well, I got some more weapons to clean before we shove off, save a seat for me, k?"
He got up, she nodded, then smiled, picking at what was left of her lunch. Derek walked back the the weapons room, a little more proud of himself. They might win after, they just might.

 

[Cryo]

"Attention Wildcats!" Wolff was standing infront of his entire troop, newguy included, Dima Exausted but standing. "Due to unpredicted curcumstances, Our unit has been reassigned to guard duty. We are to mann this ship untill the new bugs are safe in Sicon Temp. HQ Medlabs, and this ship has undergone sufficiant repairs. By that time, Intel predicts a transport bug to pass by in a neighboring sector. THat's where we come in. We are to enter and investigate the transport, Try to find out what it's carrying and where. But don't get any Idea's, that's not for a couple of weeks. Our mission at hand is to enact whatever minor repairs we can, and keep the new bugs heavilly sedated."
"Uh sir, what about wyoming squad?"
"The rouchnecks were assigned that mission. They left the Roger young 1 hour ago, and will be picked up by the Vally forge upon completion. The streetcats will leave for training in the Juno sector tommorow, so for 3 weeks we will mann this ship ourselves. There will be no parties during this time. No recreational activities. Your day will consist of work, training, and sleep. Food is a luxury you must earn. There will be someone guarding the bug 29 hours a day! If it so much as twitches, a buzzer will sound and you must give it some more tranques. Have I made myself clear?"
"Sir, yes sir!"
"Dismissed"
