cha, but who loves the english language, ne?

Bogglesteinsky · October 2003

/me slaps dea with a large trout

*jumps down onto the lower block, pulls out pistol*

[empties clip as the skulk that ran past revenge and p-khaim]

343_guilty_spark · October 2003

*Trys to pull the LMG trigger but it's too stiff.*
" Bah safety catch."
*Turns it off and pulls the trigger, the recoil catching him off guard and sendign his bullets into the cieling.*
" Ooops."

Lord_Darkness · October 2003

[dives to the side to avoid a skulk flying at him and opens fire with LMG, hoping to kill it before hitting the ground]
"EAT LEAD, YOU PIECE OF SH!T!!!!!"

343_guilty_spark · October 2003

*Trys aiming at a skulk but recoil kicks him sending the gun out of his hands and knocking him over. Recovers and despertaly searches around for something.*

Bogglesteinsky · October 2003

*Drops pistol, pulls out lmg*

[fires at the skulk next to lord darkness]

Paper · October 2003

[Dives for lmg and holds the trigger down in the general direction of the skulks]

Night_Shade · October 2003

*exhausts clip, drops LMG, whips out pistol and starts [carefully taking single shots at the skulks]*

P-Khan · October 2003

*jumps behind the TF*
"After this, and armory would be good"
*clip finishes. holsters Vladstock and takes out LMG. jumps sideways out from behind of the TF, in the direction of the turret. shoots without aiming whilst in the air*
[slides down on floor towards a crate, firing controlled burts shots from LMG. sees a lone skulk and jumps for it, with the knife on one hand and the LMG fireing at the other hand]

I always wanted to do this in the game <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

deaincaelo · October 2003

[empties clip]
[rushes to finish the turret most nearly done without getting chomped] 

edit: adds an n to turrent

Lord_Darkness · October 2003

You're just doing that to annoy Night, aren't you Dea. Try begging, Khan, they might put the stunt system from The Specialists into the game.

*rolls out of dive and runs to the same turret at Dea to help build it*
"Get to it, Dea, I've got you covered!"

spinviper · October 2003

*opens fire at the skulks with modified LMG with precise accuracy*
"Ph3r t3h l337 HMG bullets!!"

xect · October 2003

Well P-khan, I'm not sure I allowed you to use that one, but I can tell you you are unlikely to kill anything with an old pistol such as that. I'd advise you to actually use a normal pistol.

[Barely misses the target]
[Lands on the ground with revenge]
[Miraculously, one of the bullets actually hit high on the back of one of the skulks. But it passes trough without actual damage done]
****, what's the color code for that one revenge? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> Will use green for now]
[gets up and starts running towards cover]
[That's a second one down, head more or less gone after several beautifull hits]
[Gets a single skulk in the leg, but not changing much.]
[Finishes off the skulk that Daen hit]
[As can be expected when jumping on a skulk, the skulk prepares quickly, and sinks his teeth deeply into P-Khans arm]
[Although you forgot the brackets, I expect you were trying to hit the skulk with those bullets. That means there's no skulks left]

Khaim · October 2003

*Gets up off the ground*
"Well that looks like all of them... Everyone ok?"
*Notices the dead skulk hanging on p-khan's arm*
"Er... sparks you around? you may want to have a look at khan... looks like something got him... and still has him, heh."
*Reloads his weapons and goes back to finishing up the buildings.*

Rokiyo · October 2003

Color=00FF00 will do the trick (those are "zeros", not "ohs")

*Reaches a nearby box and turns around, looking around wildly.*
"Oh my god.... My god... Those things.... They're supposed to be the weakest aliens? We're screwed... We're all gonna di..."
*He hears Khaim's speaking, and then looks towards P-Khan, his mouth opening in shock and surprise as he realises what that greeny-brown thing firmly attached to P-Khan's arm is*
"Holy crap... Are you still alive over there?"
*Cautiously approaches P-Khan, keeping his distance from the skulk corpses littered around the base*

deaincaelo · October 2003

will be gone for weekend, so I'll be com's helper, if thats ok with you xect
"Kool, never seen a dead alien before"
*pokes corpse*
"ewwww, slimy. I think i want to stay in base."
[buildy buildy]

P-Khan · October 2003

*screams to the skulks sinking it's teeth to the arm*
"Ahh.... Medic......"
*takes out knife and cuts the skulks which is hanging from the arm. The carpace falls down, only leaving the jaws on the arm*
"Ouch, this hurts....."
*tries to take the jaw, but the teeth are too inside of the arm. begins to get dizzy and leans on the wall. slowly sits down, and a puddle of blood begins to form*
"Medic......"

Yeah xect, you did alow me. I sent you a PM right at the beggining of the role-play, and you said OK. And the Vladstock is not old, just an inacurate pistol and with a little more fire power than the standard TSA pistol

Mr_Headcrab · October 2003

*Ed cracks open Wynona and removes the old clip and inserts a fresh one.*
"Good kitty, play dead" *Ed hears P-Khan. Ed turnas around* "Yikes, luckly you got the best medics in the fleet." *Ed checks if any turrets are half finished in the general area, otherwise i go back to satnding guard*

Night_Shade · October 2003

I'm heading off to a lan this weekend - while I will have net access, don't expect me to post a lot <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
Xect, can you let me know how much of my medicness you want in brackets? Thanks
*reloads pistol, picks up LMG, slaps a fresh clip in and turns to Khan*
"Nasty. Lie down."
*puts down med kit beside Khan's now prone form, pulls out an injector of anaesthetic and shoots it into Khan's arm*
"Heh. Thanks Ed."
*counts ten, then taps the skulk jaw gently to make sure the anaesthetic's taken effect (it has)*
"This is going to feel...a little weird."
*puts a knee on Khan's lower arm, grasps the skulk jaw firmly and heaves upward, removing the teeth and a good deal of clotted blood as Khan turns pale and sweaty*
"Damn." *pulls another injector out of his pack and presses it gently against Khan's neck, then sutures up and applies [some of his med nano supply to] Khan's wounds*
"And you should have an arm again right about.....now. These new ultra-fast anaesthetics are brilliant."
[Khan's colour is returning, and his wounds are closing rapidly]

Rokiyo · October 2003

*Nervously watches Night Shade at work for a while, before noticing the sounds of Dea having started construction again.*

[Eventually turns around makes his way to the nearest unfinished structure and resumes building, shaking his head in disbelief]

[color=00FF00]

343_guilty_spark · October 2003

*Notices P-Khan.*
" Hmmm let me whip this up."
*Pulls out a vial of clear liquid, he shakes it vigoursly as it turns dark purple.*
" Hope you like berry flavour Khan, drink this up, it'll reduce the pain to minium plus you won't get tired, so in other words you could run 10 miles and still have enough energy to another 10, just don't abuse it, your not in god mode or something. [whispers to Khan] Plus it better than that high-tec stuff Shade gave you, don't tell him i said that."
" Shade what kind of healing equipment have you got with you ?"

xect · October 2003

Yeah, you're right, remember that now. But I still wouldnt advice armor piercing bullets for targets without armor.

And Daen, that's a strange coincidence, because I'm going for a school trip to London, so I'll be away for a week too, starting tomorrow morning. Sorry to have to have a break in the roleplay, but it's hard to DM without a computer. Anyway, go on as you think is best, be that temp DM, casual chatter or just a break from the roleplay. If it messes up as bad as last time, we'll just have it nuked.

Bogglesteinsky · October 2003

*jumps down from boxes and chucks the skulk corpses into a corner*

*reloads lmg and pistol*

"well, that wasnt so bad, was it?"

Jaeger · October 2003

*kneels next to the skulk carcass lying at the base of the far left turret*
"Don't mind if I take a souvenir?"
*unsheathes his knife, prying open the skulk's jaw and removing one of the lower incisors, noting the turret round embedded in the gumline*
"It's a tradition from my old unit. We bring a tooth back from every species we encounter on each mission. I have about 25 skulks' teeth, 20 lerks, 12 gorges and 15 fades.
*fidgets around in a belt pack, revealing a set of needlenose pliers and begins picking off nerve bundles*
"I've never managed to pull out an Onos' tooth intact before."
*nods at his work with satisfaction*
"You can actually get a fair bit selling these if you polish them right."

Rokiyo · October 2003

"Wow, gorges have teeth? Never knew that...

And you've fought an onos before? A real one? Are those things as nasty as they say? Tell me more!"

Hmm a whole week without a DM... PARTY!!!!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Nah, it's ok xect, I think we should be ok. We still have an ip and 3 turrets to complete last I checked (and maybe that res tower too), they'll keep us occupied for a day or two.

After that, the easiest way to avoid problems is to avoid combat. No matter what we do or where we go, we wont find anything alien, and nothing will find us (and seeing as you character is still in the comm chair it's not like we can go on a building spree).

[color=00FF00]

Khaim · October 2003

*Finishes building the turret he was working on then sits down on it as it makes a silly beeping sound every few seconds in time with the other turrets, only the turret he is now sitting on is unable to turn.*
"Well, the aliens probably wont attacking us anymore for the moment, seeing as how they got decimated on that attack. Anyone got some cards? we could use some of those boxes for chairs and a table."
*Stretches a little*

Lord_Darkness · October 2003

"Damn, I forgot what it was like to fight Skulks. It's gonna be a while before the adrenalin wears off."
*reloads CZU, realises the lack of armoury*
"Hey, Xect, think we can get an armoury over here?"
Sorry for the Comm Jack.
*an armoury falls from the ceiling*
*begins construction*

Rokiyo · October 2003

yeah I was thinking we needed one too, but i think we should seriously avoid building anything else...

Lord_Darkness · October 2003

An armoury is kind of a nessecity. And considering that we probably wasted half our ammo on that skulk rush, I thought that we'd be desperatly needing one. There aren't any other buildings that we'd want to build without a DM present, so no-one Comm Jack and build a veritable Fort Knox.

spinviper · October 2003

*reloads*
*helps build armoury*
