    Erm, those rockets launched right, did they kill the other mech in the dock?
    P.S. THE FORUMS ARE BACK, WHEEEE!

    boggle, the guy who was working on the tfac died, and he kinda damaged a siege cannon in the process. Then he left his guts struen across the floor, walls, cieling, etc.
    I gave xect full permission to reenter me into the RPG however he wants.

    you guys do realise that I am about 250 m away from you, so unles you have got a very stong arm, i doubt i caught that.

    Gwahir: i know you died, but my character doesn't. He is still waiting for someone to tell him the bad news.

    <b>Re-entering you might take a few days Gwahir. I'm trying to figure out how to do it. And Khaim, you never reached the rocket launcher. Seems my original post was a bit unclear.</b>

    <i>Dock group - the docks shake violently as the bomber strikes the heavy security door. By some insane miracle, it holds out. But it doesn't look like it can take another hit like that one. At the same time, the mech is starting to run towards Khaim.

    By the other group, the two mechs are stabilizing their gun barrels in order to move towards you. Suddenly, you hear a loud roar, and barely manage to jump aside as a huge cloud of burning gas is propelled around the corner from one of the mechs' flamethrower.</i>

    oh damn, unconsious again... I seem to have a habit of doing that... Hopefully either terran or one of the other RPG guys kills that last mech in the dock, *crosses fingers*. Good luck, I'll be cheering you all on unconsious like ^^.
  • GwahirGwahir Join Date: 2002-04-24 Member: 513Members, Constellation
    no problem xect, I have stuff that needs attention this weekend anyway, once the first rolls around, everything should be cleared up.

    mean while, I'll be a male cheerleader:
    "Go team GO! Kill those mechs! We're from the fighting guardpost, we've come to save the day, but because of certain problems, our armors' full of pee! GOOOO AG!"
    or something really bad like that.

    did I interpret that correctly?
    Darkness just got his head severed by a massive round to the neck?

    if so...

    khaim - you wake up, still shaken by the explosion, to hear a huge crash shaking the whole dock. The mech is sanding mere feet from you. Suddenly, the sound of a welder breaks the silence. The mech begins to turn around, but locks in place as the joints are closed and sealed by a welder at its back.

    Terran - Well, you guessed it. Your welder <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--></i>
