"He was. Not so sure now. The Aliens seem to have changed a lot. What they're saying is that the aliens have gotten a lot stronger and we don't stand a chance. 

sound familar? anyone know if 2.01's out yet?

Khaim · August 2003

Yeah, basicly these things are even more deadly now, however i've heard that some new research has been done to help us in combat too, just rumors however... Heard something about a fast fire shotgun and a new grenade launcher..."
*gets up and stretches*
"Any idea what shift number we will be on?"

" Ya never know what Karma knows, well aslong as there aren't any other spieces it's fine by me, i think we're up soon, so i might go get some food for the shift, want me to bring some cards ?"

Vragnor · August 2003

"Cards would be nice. And what's this about a new Nade Spamming Machine?! Why am I not testing it?! They scientists really are smoking something <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>"
*Grabs backbag and sharts shoving rations, candy, powder beer, and lots of water*
"A cookie to whoever invented freeze-dried beer (or whatever it's called)
"

Cyberoptic · August 2003

*I walk around with no specific destination, absent from everything around me. As I near the long corridor from the crew quarters I look at the window, watching silently the scenery beyond, my mind deep within my thoughts. I realize we're goind down soon to the battlefield, and I do my best to prepare my self for whatever horrors we will face. I light another cigarrete.*
"Ah crap, we're going down soon, I feel it in my bones, in my very own flesh. Good, it's been a long time."
*I continue to stare at the window.*

Quaunaut · August 2003

"Well, all I know is, those things ain't lasting long. I mean, we may die, but you gotta remember- they'll nutrilize the station if we can't get it back. So either way, we win. Err...kinda."[/B]

Mr_Headcrab · August 2003

sorry about that, Xect, i went overboard. 
 *Ed walks over to the gun locker on the range and picks up his holstered pistol, he puts it on, tells the range officer to send Wynona down to lanuch bay 03.*
"If any of you guys need me, I have to report to the Armory and get fitted for my Armor."
*Ed heads off down the corridor*

xect · August 2003

*Looks at the shift lists on the wall.*
"Phew, seems they were smart enough to keep the squad together. Also seems we'll have a few more hours off. We're on watch in 10 hours, which means we have time for a good game of cards before we pass out."

Quaunaut · August 2003

*hears the mentioning of cards, and reflexes-*"I'm in."*sitting down with Xect, and starts taking his wallet out*

Vragnor · August 2003

"I'm in. Now where the hell can i get some cash? I don't see any signs for ATMs."
*Looks around frantically*
"Have to remember to get Megan(gf) to send me some money."

Khaim · August 2003

"Eh I'm up for a game of cards, what we guna play? Blackjack? Poker?"
*sits back down at the table with Quanaut and Xect, and flicks open his wallet*
"Eh dont have a lot of cash here but I'll bet what I can, hell for all we know it may be last game of cards we have, with those new style Kharaa and all."
*Glances to see if Guilty has the cards yet*

PFCNublar · August 2003

"Hmm, feh. This reminds me of of a sad thought. Even if you win, what are you going to spend it on? This is a station in the middle of space, with no shops or anything on it. Five hundred dollars is kind of useless if you can't spend it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'> ."
*leaves quickly*
*comes back with b33r for all*
*hands it out, then takes a seat*
"But I'll watch anyway. Might be fun...ny <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>."

343_guilty_spark · August 2003

*Reaches into his trousers and pulls out a pack of playing cards and his wallet.*
" Don't mind what we play your guests you choose, you rsure you don't want to play Terran i could lend you some money aslong as you pay me back."

SilentMurderer · August 2003

"So, what to do now then?"

xect · August 2003

Seems Deral just got renamed to Xect for simplicity <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

"ok, poker it is. Money doesnt really matter to me, I have some worries that mean quite a lot more, such as my job out here"

spinviper · August 2003

FFS GET TO THE ACTION IM BORED WITH THE SHIP!!1

xect · August 2003

Calm down Viper, calm down. We'll get to that. It takes time to get to the action without rushing it.

Quaunaut · August 2003

Yep, believe me, I've been in enough of these to know that if you rush into the action, it doesn't feel as good as this will. But I must admit, we ARE going a bit long here...its almost been a week, Xect. I think we oughta start within the next 2 days. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

PFCNublar · August 2003

"We're playing cards, Silent. Looks like it'll be poker, but I'm not playing. I have money, but there kind of is no need for it, since even if ya win, you can't spend it on anything <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'> ."
*me looks at Deral*
"Oh, come now. What could be the worst that could happen out here. Your just playing cards and gambling is pretty a minor pretty minor offense broken many times. Now get on with the game, I want something to spectate <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>."

Vragnor · August 2003

*Pulls out wallet and sifts through it*
"Seems i have 20 twenties. So, 5-card? 7-card? draw? stud?"

343_guilty_spark · August 2003

*Starts dealing out cards.*
" Well at least we get some form of entertainment, any idea when we'll be back home ?"

Jaeger · August 2003

"Only thing we'll be going home in is really small boxes. Seems like the TSA is gonna have a load on their hands pretty soon, so it looks like station duties until our terms are up."
"Thanks for the round, Terran. I think I'll watch as well."
*takes a quick swig and wipes his mouth on his shirtsleeve*
"Sure wish they allowed alchohol back in flight training. Boring here or not, you guys got it made."

Quaunaut · August 2003

"May be, Jaeg, but life ain't fun when your a computer's specialist in the middle of a battle. Its not hard, the computer stuff, but when the only thing they trained your for is basic, then thrust you into this stuff, it doesn't exactly make sense."

Khaim · August 2003

Bah, if ya dont already have a background in computers ya shouldn't of gone for that as your specialty in training. But, whatever, lets go ahead and get this game going then?"
*picks up his cards, sifting thru them*

343_guilty_spark · August 2003

*Looks at his crads.*
" Looks like my luck is almost out of juice."
*Frowns.*

Paper · August 2003

*I enter into the mess hall again, breathing hard and with a frown on my face i tuck the notpad back into my pocket*
*i walk over to the table and find my stash of goodies has been ransacked, wrappers lay strewn accros the table, chocolate smeared here and there, a few surviving candies lay forgoten on the floor. Muttering under my breath i sit down next to the game, prop up my legs and watch*

it's labor day weekend prolly a good time to move up a bit

Bogglesteinsky · August 2003

damn these holidays...

"FOR THE LAST TIME, I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE COMMANDER'S STRATEGY"

*gets up from table, walks out of the room and slams the door*

"bloody interrogator ****. its not the comm fault we lost the ship..."

*takes a wrong turn*

"for pete's sake. why cant they build these things the same? Where did i leave that mess hall?"

*sees big sign "MESS HALL"*

"ahah"

*goes inside*

"Well, this is a fine how-do-you-do isnt it? We risk our **** for some beurocrat's pansy breifcase, then we get treated like dirt when they found out we couldn't stop a three hive infestation. whoop-de-f*****g-do"

*sees the game of cards*

"you guys dont know when to stop do ya?"

343_guilty_spark · August 2003

"Bad interrigation Boggle ?? Play poker it'll take your mind of it."

Vragnor · August 2003

*Looks at card*
"I think i'll raise 20"
*slaps a 20 on table*

P-Khan · August 2003

*returns to mess hall*
"Hey, what y'all playing?"
*gets closer to see the cards game*
"Poker? Cool, but not my favourite game....."
*sits down, and take out knife. Slams hand down on table and starts to stab the knife between the fingers, rapidly*
"This is fun!"
