nightdragon · November 2003

*thinks "Now I know this place I need to go find me a job"*
*Walks to Ed* "Hey Ed, do you have any idea where I need to go to apply for a medical job, I need something to do before anything happens *psst* I heard you single handedly saved the TSA is that right?"

Hey im sposed to be a nub, i believe these rumors lol

Night_Shade · November 2003

*grumbles about xect ignoring him* - I'm in the med lab, and I just greeted Ven - yet only he saw the injection. *sigh*
Ah well, I'll just stock up silently and bugger off to the mess hall. Editing previous post.
*finishes stocking medpack, double checks the contents and heads off to the mess hall, grabbing half a dozen ration bars from the counter as he enters and stuffing them in his pack*
"Morning everyone. Ready to guard the station from the horrors of hard vacuum?"
*notices Nightdragon*
"Hey, who's the new guy?"
Nightdragon - it mightn't hurt to notice the big red + on my pack <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

xect · November 2003

NOOOOOOO! That was cool! At least let me keep the disfiguration and hive mind aspect, I don't mind not having the super strength!

SilentMurderer · November 2003

Does anyone know what happened to me in the prequel?

Bogglesteinsky · November 2003

were you in the prequel?

xect · November 2003

Uhm, the disfiguration and hivemind is what makes it complicated. It's simply too hard to coordinate so you don't take it too far and see things before I say they're there.

Gwahir · November 2003

ah but you could use him to introduce them, perhaps through a PM.

xect · November 2003

Could do, but it'd get unneccesarily complicated. I prefer not to. After the novelty has worn off, it is much easier to actually get the story to work well the other way.

Mr_Headcrab · November 2003

*Ed looks flattered* "Nope, I didnt save the TSA, That honor would have to go to Xect and Sparks... Speaking of wich, i wonder where he is..."
*Ed stands up, walks over to a nearby terminal (Or bulletin Board) and checks the duty roster for the squad.*

"What the?! Hey guys, Sparky got transferred out of our squad! Sonofa!"

Richter_Grim · November 2003

"Hey Night Shade, have a seat." *Pushes something resembleing food around on his plate* "It's either meat loaf or skulk loaf, not sure which." *Takes a cautionary bite* "Ulgh... I think closer to skulk..... So you been by to see Boggle? He looks kinda rough. Looks like he needs some cheering up."

*Washes down the mystery meat with some coffee* "Hey, your a rated medic, think you can find out what's going on with Venmoch? They just rans some gobbledygook medic terms at me and wouldn't say anything elses. Wouldn't let me see him either. Said something about quarentine and vaccinations. Said that they didn't know how much longer he'd have to be kept isolated."

*Notices the new guy staring at him and Shade* "Look at me ramble on and being rude. Let me introduce myself. I'm Richter Grim. Welcome to the Ariaden Guardpost. If you need to know any thing, just ask."

*Pulls some thing small, colourful and bean shaped out of a pouch at his side* "Jelly Bean?"

nightdragon · November 2003

*To Night shade* "Hi, I couldnt help but notice your pack, is there like a medical assistant job going before theres some action around here, I've had medical training and would love a job"
*Hands resume and medical certificates*

ND

Night_Shade · November 2003

"WHAT!? Damn. Stupid transfer office."
*gets up and draws a cup of coffee*
"Someone's pulled some high level strings, Grim. Only reason I was allowed in the med lab at all was to restock my kit. Couldn't even get near Ven. I was gonna say hi to boggles, but he wasn't awake when I went in, so I didn't disturb him. Poor guy, he really got flung around."
*sits back down, sips coffee*
"Damn coffee machines. They're either so hot they burn or so cold your stomach congeals."
*reads over resume and certs*
"Not bad, not bad at all. You got any field training, or just in-house? If you want a medical job......well, I was gonna suggest you ask at the med lab, but with all the quarantining and security they've got for Venmoch you may have a difficult time getting in the door. So anyway, I'm Night Shade. Nice to meet you."
*stares at Grim's mystery meat*
"I think I'll stick with ration bars. At least I know what they put in them."
*leans over and grabs a ration bar from the counter, dips it in his coffee and bites off a chunk*

Khaim · November 2003

*Gets up and walks over towards the messhall, noticing Richter and Nightdragon.*
"Hey greetings, fresh meat, er... more backup. Anyway I'm Khaim, or call me Greg... or 'You Crazy Jackass' anything will work really. I'm the local computer nut, a terrible shot, but at least I can do something."
*Grins and sits down accross from grim.*
"I duno Richter.... If I were you, I'd just stick to the jellybeans and other stuff that at least we know what it's made of."
*Finishes off his Milky-Way Bar and continues drinking his soda*

deaincaelo · November 2003

just fyi, im out <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Khaim · November 2003

Aww, but who will Ed have to drop dead over now <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>.
*Runs like hell.*

343_guilty_spark · November 2003

Hey Khaim, Ed and you would make a good couple <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

*Some random marine comes up to Night shade and gives him a letter, he opens it revealing a letter from 343*
Well guess when you recieve this letter i'll be at my new squad, it's only for a wee while while they find some new medics, during there last mission they lost all their medics, great i feel so safe here, well i'm gonna miss you guys and gals, i'm making more magicbrew, heh everyone thinks i'm crazy over here, hey nightshade if you need to, you can use my herbs and roots they are in my locker and there should be a book in there containing recepies, well gotta go, don't start the action without me !

From 343

spinviper · November 2003

"Doc??"

Bogglesteinsky · November 2003

*gets up and walks shakily to mess hall*

"he...hello guys"

*slumps down in the nearest seat*

Venmoch · November 2003

*Smiles slightly*
"I know what this stuff is, Prozyam 43, repression drug. It should keep me alright for about a month which is more than enough time, looks like I'll be having regular doses of it anyway. Still it seems a shame to loose the hive sight, damn that thing was amazing, like an organic computer. I can't really describe it."
*Gets Up as all the medical staff start to walk away.*
"Heh if I know those guys they'll be in the canteen drinking coffee and talking crap, which is exactly what I want to do. I better go say Hi"
*Walks to canteen*
*Catches glance of self at mirror*
"Thinking about it those scales are rather cool"

Lord_Darkness · November 2003

"YOU'RE KIDDING ME?! THOSE DAMN ICPS LEAD ME INTO A TRAP?!"
"I'm starting to regret installing that new speaker, that thing's way too loud."
"Sorry."
*sees Nightdragon through swivel camera mounted on PDA*
"Who's the new guy?"
*hears Ed mention Mercura in an android body*
"Don't even think of it pal, just because Dea left the station is no reason to turn android-sexual."
"Android-sexual, I've gotta remember that one. Oh, Nightdragon, I never introduced myself, name's Anthony. Callsign's Darkness, I'm a close-quarters combat specialist, what I call a Triple-C. Give me a shotgun and anything that comes too close'll be covering the floor and wall. Oh, and don't worry about my katana, the upper brass don't let me take it with me into the field."
*grabs a ration bar off the counter, stands next to the table, throws ration bar into the air and, in the blink of an eye, draws the katana and cuts the bar in two. The bar doesn't separate until it hits the table while I calmly sheath the sword*
"Oh, I almost forgot, I can kill a person 20 different ways with my bare hands alone."

Night_Shade · November 2003

*reads Spark's letter aloud*
"Gonna miss ya. Wish I had the faintest idea bout those herbs of yours, or I'd certainly use em."
*notices Boggles walk in*
"Hey Boggles. You look like death warmed up. Here, lemme get you a coffee."
*grabs Boggles a coffee*
*to Dark* "Showoff."

Richter_Grim · November 2003

"Hey Boogle, you made it out of sick bay!"
*Leans close, and in a low voice* "See, I knew the Jelly Beans would help." *Wink*
"We'll buddy, if you feel up to, we can have thoses drinks I promised you tonight when we get off shift. But if you don't feel like it, they can wait."

*Notices Darkness arguing with the PDA* "Poor guy, it's like having a nagging wife in your pocket."

*Drinks some more coffee and eats some more 'food'*

"Hey Darkness, when you kill a fade twenty differnt ways with your bare hands, then I'll be impressed."

*Sees the look that Darkness gives him*

"Whoa buddy, I'm just kidding around now. I was actualy wanting to spar with you later. As I only started martial arts traing four years ago and need to keep practicing. The simulators are no were near as good as a real person. We were taught ROSS by our instructors. They say it's whe the Spetsnaz used back on Earth."

*Turns his attention to the new guy*
"So, what's your story, new recruit or transfer? Nightdragon is it?"

nightdragon · November 2003

"yes its mainly stationary medical I'm trained in, maybe I should study field medicine to a higher degree then?"
*turns to Richter*
"Huh, me, yer I transfered here from the Therion outpost. My father worked there and I hatted it, so glad I moved here. What about you, I've not seen you around alot?..."

xect · November 2003

Venmoch: A few minutes after the injection, you notice your blood from the leg wound, previously greenish, has started to get a more normal color.

When Ed checks the squad board, he also notices other major changes in the squads. Among others, your previous commander has been transferred to another squad.

SilentMurderer · November 2003

OMFRIGGINGOD!!!!!!!! YOU DON*T REMEMBER ME!! MAN!!

/me dies.

Bogglesteinsky · November 2003

"richter, i never had any of your jelly beans, but, if you are offering..."

Venmoch · November 2003

"Heh the repression drug seems to be working. All this was probably the result of her infection."
*Smiles and handed something from a scientist*
*Looks at paper*


James "Venmoch" Ransom, you have been injected by Prozyam 43. While this drug represses the Kharra bacterium inside the body it doesn't get rid of it completely however, the drug has a lasting effect of one month. We decided to place you on this drug as the bacterium inside ou has reached a non-reversible level and any other form of treatment would result in death. You will experience a possible loss in mental ability and concentration due to the drugs effect on your mental processes. This is as a result of the bacterium being repressed. However your physical abilitys have been enhanced somewhat from the bacterium stimulus creating and enhancing your muscular mass. However the drug is unable to get rid of any physical disfigurement, so your scales and red iris will unfortuntunally remain.

Please note the drug is not permenant and if you do feel any light headedness you are to report to the medical specialist in your squad for a booster. If there is not medical personell availible you must inject yourself at all costs as you will immediately pose a risk to your squadmates.

We Thank you for your consideration

Dr Albert Jenkins



"May pose a threat to my squad? Bullcrap, damn TSA's all jumpy these days, no wonder Borzov had all this problem with her. Damn"
*Folds up sheet and places it in armour*
*Walks through canteen*
"Hey guys whats up?"
*Blank Faces look at him*
"What?"


I call Night Shade as drug carrier! Hopefully this should be good enough explanation for the stat system!

Khaim · November 2003

I REALY hope you got that checked out with Xect... He IS the dm, if he doesn't like all your crazyness he can just remove you :/.

PFCNublar · November 2003

I remember you, Silent. Yellow is still a free color, you know <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>


*packs up books and throws my wrappers in the can*
*slings my pack over my shoulder and exists the waiting room*
*walks down the hallway to the Patient's Rooms*
*opens the door of room S-573A*
"Hello, Spin. Hope everything's been going well for you while you've been gone."
