Tsssssshhh...

The Cargo Plane's doors have opened. Clunk clunk clunk clunk, the newly arrived mecha left the plane and, directed by engineers with chemflares, made their way to the Mecha Bay.

There was already a welcoming committee; four UNMDF soldiers, two each flanking a small man in Commander's uniform. As the cockpits of the Mechas opened, the pilots could see the man more clearly; small, clean-shaven, with grey, buzzcut hair. A slight tan and many wrinkles added to his elderly charm, balancing out the fact that the man was unusually short for this century; couldn't be taller than five feet. On Mars, he would be recycled before his birth.

//Lieutenants Josephine Valle Tala (Tiruin), Jason Thrace (Kashyyk), Luis Augusto dos Santos Oliveira (Solymr), and Kenneth Parley (Unlurking Sentinel) are in game!

Luis climbed out of the mech, squared up and saluted the commander.

Sir!

Tall, stocky and tanned made for a significant contrast with said commander.

Kenneth attempted to comb his black hair with his hands before following in Luis' example, climbing out of his charcoal-and-ashen mech. He tried to straighten his back to maintain a military semblance in front of the committee.

S-sir!

Contrasting both the Commander and Luis, this man had a pale, gaunt form, and wide-rimmed glasses that failed to conceal his sleepy gaze.

Josephine followed the others with formal greetings and a crisp salute. She was of Southeast Asian lineage, standing at the same height as the commander with just a few inches taller. The mainstream culture there was both traditional and progressive in the ways of humanism.

She was nervous and anxious about the mission ahead, as she spoke in unison with the others.

"Sir!"

She wondered about the Martians, and how xenophobia and pathologic perspectives mixed. It was fairly well known even the smallest of determinants was seem as a slight of the "human essence"; how far would being "trans-human" be, that they forget what it is in being human. Would this be how rigid battle would be? Would there be any quarter? She was a student of history prior to the volunteering, and this brought many questions.

The last one to step out of their mech was Jason.  With blond cropped hair and a well-built frame, he found the mid-point in height between Luis and Josephine. Slightly older than the other three, his years in the EDF gave him a confident stance as he snapped a salute.

Sir!

The base commander saluted back to the four newcomers, and then had one of the guards hand him a datapad.

"Lieutenants... Josephine Valle Tala, Jason Thrace, Luis Augusto dos Santos Oliveira, and Kenneth Parley." He nodded at each pilot while his eyes were staring at the datapad. His voice was a bit coarse and raspy.

"Welcome to Plymouth. I am Commander Arnold Petersen. This will be your base of operations and I'm your commanding officer. Currently, the European theatre of war is quiet, but that can change any second when the Martians Trans-gate into the region."

"Men have been assigned quarters A6. Lieutenant Tala has quarters A7, they're adjacent to each other. Left and up the stairs when you leave the hangar through the main personnel exit, then past the mess hall. Place your belongings in the quarters and use the wall-comp inside to register into the base's datacenter. You can learn the layout of the base and areas permitted for you at it, and communicate with engineers, quartermaster, between each other and of course with all other personnel stationed here. Any questions?"

Jason pauses briefly to see if any of his comrades did indeed have questions.

No sir!

Luis looks at his mech, wondering if the engineers here knew the intricacies of Sao Paulo equipment.

Sir! Are there any assignments for us?

Kenneth simply remained silent, so as to better hold in a yawn. Instead, while the Commander was focused on the others' questions, he tried to memorize the faces of the welcoming committee, as well as his own companions (though this was rather hard to do without drawing attention to his lack of focus, so he wasn't able to get too far). When the Commander turned to see his response:

O-oh, nothing, nothing right now, sir.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Haspen on June 04, 2018, 03:22:25 am
"Splendid. Dismissed!"

Three minutes later

The doors to A6 and A7 opened.

Both quarters were the same layout; two bunk-beds, two cabinets by the wall opposite to the door, a small table and four chairs between the beds. Computer panels were embedded in the walls, displaying maintenance info, the date (6:33pm, 1st September 2245), alert status - yellow, its always yellow nowadays - and various moving bars for various Mil-Net sites; weather updates, equipment vendors, burial accomodations, entertainment venues, and other necessities for UNMDF soldiers.

Post by: Solymr on June 04, 2018, 01:37:02 pm
After storing his possessions and registering, Luis first went to mingle for a bit with the engineers, trying to learn more about his mecha and any emergency measures in case of emergency before returning with his squad.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Haspen on June 04, 2018, 01:39:24 pm
Luis quickly learns that, sadly, the emergency escape pods are still not approved by UNMDF council, who, for fifth year in a row, cides too high installment and maintenance costs.

He also learns that apparently SPE&MI is working on compat Spark-type weapon as well as developing smaller but still efficient RTGs; the shopping channels on Mil-Net apparently are viewing some pre-order ads already.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Solymr on June 04, 2018, 03:40:28 pm
Porra. Thought Luis as he learned about escape pods. He'd have to keep the mechas in shape during combat then. He checked the ads and the news on São Paulo and other equipment while waiting on someone else to speak.

Post by: Haspen on June 04, 2018, 03:49:28 pm
The sought-after ad came upon on Channel 5.

Featuring mystical arcs of electricity, towers of doom and hidden jungle lab in background, the presenter gave approximate details of the weapon, which is undergoing war trials, and is boasted to be the new, to-go lightweight electric weapon for masses.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Pre-order today, and enjoy a generous 10% price cut until approximate Earth-wide introduction date of 15th September. Delivery within two days anywhere on Earth*, with special rush delivery service to front line troops of UNMDF."
*Martian-controlled zones excluded.

"Sao Paulo Electronics and Mechatechnics Institute. Today's war, future's technology." The annoyingly loud MWWAAAHHHH and equally distracting green-and-silver SPE&MI logo capped the end of the webvid.

After registering and stowing his gear in one of the lockers, Jason claims a top bunk and makes the most of the few time with a nap. If the military had taught him anything, it was that you should grab sleep whenever you can because you never know if you're going to get hit by a midnight raid.

Retroactively, Josephine asks a FEW questions because her player was busy and she apologizes to Haspen because this game is very interesting with brimming potential!...
Quote from: Haspen on June 03, 2018, 07:41:13 am
"Men have been assigned quarters A6. Lieutenant Tala has quarters A7, they're adjacent to each other.

You can learn the layout of the base and areas permitted for you at it, and communicate with engineers, quartermaster, between each other and of course with all other personnel stationed here. Any questions?"
"Who may we freely approach [for their purpose? Lt. Tala asks this much like wondering for the casual player: Who can I approach and meet with for certain reasons beneficial to the game--like sales for items or inquiring about discounts, for orthodox purposes like an extra secondary objective or personal goal? Generally she asks questions for game mechanics that helps the general player.]"

At the present...
Josephine went over to the quartermaster (after claiming top bunk in her quarters) and inquired to the prices of certain goods and products--like why the Yokohama energy cells are so expensive when the general mechanics of it are very...disappointing.
Quote
Name: aCrodyne MFC-25
Energy Capacity: 25
Weight: 4
Cost: 800c per unit
Name: YokohamaLW-3 MFC
Energy Capacity: 30
Weight: 4
Cost: 2100c per unit
She inquires this without potentially naming the spread of Capitalism ever since parts of the USA fell.

But more importantly, she inquired as to the possibility of a mech's subsystems getting disabled or damaged in combat (like the possibility of losing a power cell and what can be done for field repairs); she also inquires as to possibilities of ammunition packages despite the GM saying no to the inquiry OOC for certain calibres of weapons, with emphasis on the mech-mounted dragunov series...and pretty much asks if there were any customized piercing rifle-weapons that she can mount on her mech in the near future or expedited to be 'tested' on her mech, because it was plainly obvious she loved sniper-weaponry.

"Also...what happens if a mech is stranded without ammunition in the field? What can they do? I didn't read anything about that within the manuals we have, but I have heard stories..."

Alongside that...she inquires to the most relevant officer on-base about anyone possibly borrowing money to afford better equipment and mechs at the present (to be paid within a month later at most), and if this was possible--and if this was possible, what would be the catch in return?
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Haspen on June 05, 2018, 03:00:27 am
The quartermaster shrugs at Josephine.

"I'm not setting the prices. Ask Yokohama public services for that. As for ammo; pack extra weapons. I'm sure they will last."

Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Tiruin on June 05, 2018, 04:15:26 am
Josephine appropriately assumed 'you're doomed' to the rest of her questions on running out of ammunition on the field. Knowing how there was an element of movement, agility, and the crucial seconds of aiming systems getting a good lock, the whole real scenario played comically much like one of the ancient games she loved and took to heart--Banner Saga (the ultimate series): This meant that taking initiative to prepare, counter, and 'block' (by attacking oncoming enemies) was a priority.

She was very happy she had good reflexes.

"Thank you sir. May I ask what becomes of the enemies we kill? Are we allowed to salvage or call on local forces to attempt salvaging? Otherwise, no questions; I'm excited for my first deployment."


A while later...
Josephine found herself at an intercomm of the Yokohama public services...she asked exactly what was on her mind.
"Could I ask why your entry-level energy cell is three times as expensive as that of your competition, yet with a very minor difference in performance and actual capacity? Asking as a customer of your services--wouldn't this...ruin your sales?"

She knew her mechanics and this was a very confusing factor to ask.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Haspen on June 05, 2018, 04:25:14 am
"If time and situation allows, we deploy salvage teams to the battlefield. Most of material goes into recycling or engineering departments. Any Earth-compatible mecha parts however stay with your unit; you can use them, or sell them, and you can be sure I will be there to validate all your requests for those."

[/quote]

Later...

An automated program, 'Choko', replied to Josephine, with its cutesy electric-blue plushie robot avatar in the corner.

"Thank you for choosing Yokohama Public Services. We value the input of our patrons."

"Your query is now being processed by the automate-"

"Yokohama Company cares for both its clients and its employees. To ensure the highest quality of our mecha parts, we devote more funds than our competitors on the market on quality control, employee care benefits, material processing and other. That's why our prices are higher and our wares are of much better quality. The quality and popularity of our wares are reflected in millions of happy and satisfied customers so far."

"This constitutes as an answer to your query. Thank you for using Yokohama's Automated Public Services Assistant, Choko. Yoko~n!"

On the monitor, a simple 'Do you have another question? y/n' came up.

After dropping his supplies near a bottom bunk and giving the entertainment venues a once-over, Kenneth simply dropped cold on his bunk.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Tiruin on June 05, 2018, 01:18:43 pm
"I'm pretty glad people still uphold humanity--at least I hope it's not the extremes of Capitalism. Heard rumors on the reason why the USA fell that way from the Martians. I wonder if I could work for Yokohama in the future..."

Lt. Tala holds her finger over the cutesy letter N, and boops the plushie robot away with a 'thank you' replacing the 'x/close' button. Then another final query hits her before starting up for the first mission.

Y; Query: "Can we avail of customized or advanced Yokohama equipment in the future? Willing to wait at least a month's worth of consideration time. Thank you ahead!"

"Well...I didn't- um, time to update my spam filters then."

Having explored the base and mapped out the whole area in mind (because of emergency exit maps and other safety regulations), Josephine makes her way back to her bunk and relaxes.

N; ready for first mission!

Mission 1 - Welcoming Committee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUqpfRRFNSs)

6:41pm, 1st September 2245

The lightning in the base turned to an ominous shade of red.

The wall panels stopped displaying maintenance values and instead begun showing blood-red emblem of UNMDF, and a digital female voice announced through the speakers:

"Red alert. Red alert. Trans-gate quantum signature detected within five kilometers. Ground personnel to the battle stations. Mecha pilots report for briefing to base's commander. Logistics and command staff to the command posts. Red alert. Red alert..." The message was then put on loop.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Tiruin on June 05, 2018, 01:58:11 pm
A time's worth of rest, training, exercise, and mental puzzles all help readiness--alongside simulators, communication, and chat with other mech pilots (and service, maintenance, and other crew on base), which all made up the days before getting welcomed by the base commander.

Josephine found herself crisp and ready at the reporting area, and waved at the other mech pilots at the ready. When the commander arrives, she saluted him and awaited briefing.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Solymr on June 05, 2018, 02:07:00 pm
Luis jumped up at the red alert, going to the reporting area.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Unlurking Sentinel on June 05, 2018, 02:08:28 pm
Only a few minutes after Kenneth fell into his bed, and an emergency had already begun.

Uuggh.... why now? The Martians just have to attack while I'm trying to get some shuteye.

He groggily hurried to the to the reporting area, somehow stumbling only once as he ran while trying to comb his hair again.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Kashyyk on June 05, 2018, 02:30:01 pm
Feckin' Martians...

Jason drops out of the top bunk and into his open combat boots, narrowly missing Kenneth as he hustled out of the dorm. Jason quickly laced his boots, grabbed his jacket and headed back to the mech bay for the briefing.
Title: Re: Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!
Post by: Haspen on June 05, 2018, 03:05:29 pm
The Commander was already waiting.

"Trans-Gate signature detected just half a kilometer from our base's airfield and fighter plane hangars. We handle military shipping for entire southern British Isles. We must ensure that damage will be minimal."

"I'm assigning you four to guard duty at Hangar B. The buildings in our base are defended by several Elysium-class energy blaster turrets. Our command staff will operate them remotely, some heavy heavy firepower will surely help you in your task. Now go. For Victory and Earth!"

2 minutes later, near Hangar B

The distant flashing of Trans-Gate Phenomena was accompanied by closer sounds of explosions, energy discharge and crumpled metal.

Suddenly, the concrete perimeter has been breached! Shiny dark-green and black painted drones are pouring in as the Elysium towers whirrl and aim themselves at the invaders...

~kzzkt Hostiles Incoming! Tkzzk~

SPARK-1 starts forwards, heading towards the nearest piece of cover. It rolled it's shoulders as it ran, a poor copy of the pilot's motions within.

Reaching a firing position, two mechanical arms swing the plasmarc around, lining up with the sensor data collected by the exterior cameras.

Jason squeezed the trigger and watched as a blast of energy was shot towards VectorDrone A.

(("Why am I last", says the girl with convenient timezones making her last anyway! :D))

Josephine was facing the wrong direction--when shots hit her mech, she angled herself properly, setting all systems for scanning. The stagger brought about a delay of just few crucial seconds.

"All of these are robotic!" she said, right before Kenneth blasted a few of them. This meant this was more reconnaissance, as she feared that the whole military base was compromised. This meant that they had to go down before whatever gated them in, got them out.

Vector B < Dragunov
Flygun A < Both Blasta guns
Attack Flygun B if the first Blasta hits Flygun A.

Josephine was pretty happy she customized her controls for stability--that meant a few seconds shaved off for targeting! The idea of a reconnaissance force was probably a mistake; these were probably used to mop up any light resistance.

Now to hope none escaped with their information as she presumed there was no medium of transit between trans-gates, despite the name. She noticed the drone was close enough to take a shot at one of her allies...but then noticed the hostile pilot (thanks to biometric scanners)! This meant being as heavily armed as herself, just like the horror stories would mention...

"Hostile soldier detected! Will need repairs! Commencing firing!"

ALL WEAPONS TARGET Utopia Planitia V-AT482 (Dragunov fires first)
If it dies, redirect targets onto the Momentum A.

If I can, do some scanning too!

Josephine did with the murder once more. The enemy mecha's cockpit broke from blasta's blast, and the Martian's pale, silver-haired, uniform-clad (and quite bloodied) corpse slumped against the asphalt below.

The heavy Momentum drone then energy blasted Luis in the face. Then his cockpit exploded in sparks as energy levels dropped and numerous emergency lights lit across his console, with dreaded 'LAS ENGAGED' blinking on it too.

Tala felt quite exhilarated at her first hit--not that she felt anything killing another person other than recoil--but that any note of diplomacy was, had, and has had been handled and that she couldn't do what she wanted otherwise in the seconds of combat because they'd just shoot her face for being short.

"Will cover!" she radio'd over to Luis.
"Designate fire at [VECTOR_D], its weapons are prepped!"

((Awesome, Jason then Kenneth, then Vec D then Luis!))

Trusting that Kenneth would deal with the surviving VectorBot, Jason manoeuvred SPARK-1 towards the O Redentor. Grabbing the mech with a free hand, the sparking machine is dragged behind cover as Jason preps the Thumper for external application.

He jacks into one of the power sockets and activates the Thumper and redirects his power circuits to bring Luis' mech out of LAS whilst the EMP is  dealt with.

Kenneth was a little dissapointed that he didn't get the first Martian kill, but no matter. The droids provided pretty enough explosions.
He fired the guns sequentially in the next barrage - aiming for Vector D first, and after it blows up, at Vector C, if there's enough time.

There was a loud THUMP, and then Luis' cockpit begun to restart itself and resume normal operations.

Meanwhile, Kenneth turned another enemy drone into swiss cheese.

Then there was a transmission from base commander.

"Zeta Squad, this is command. We're receiving reports of new type of Vector Dronebot being sighted by our infantry and turret operators. That new Vector has bulkier frame and a napalm cannon.

Another pack of flying bots entered through the breach; stomping after them, there was an Utopia Planitia of upgraded kind. On-board computers of UNMDF pilots had no problems sorting out its inventory.

Seeing Kenneth angle his mech to face the enemy, Lt. Tala knew there was too little time to rely on others to attack before that one pilot struck.

All weapons, fire at Utopia Planitia VII-AB093

"I deeply with MilNet upgrades these computers. They need to be able to scan and synchronize fire!"

The mecha targeted by Josephine sidestepped most shots, including the screeching round of Dragunov (which then blasted off part of the wall behind), and the shield and armor withstood the shot that did hit.

An open communication from the martian mecha then came through.

"Haha, puny Earthlings! Even your engineering is inferior compared to ours! Surrender to me, and I will promise you will face a swift death instead of agony of thermal erasers!" The female pilot then laughed and pointed her mecha's gun at Josephine.

Lt. Tala was quite happy to shove surrender in the enemy Martian. She was however ambivalent because this one tried to communicate with them rather than hail really racist (and otherwise xenophobic or related negatives) propaganda...

"Thermal erasers!" she blared back at them, trying to use their own sound frequency...

The Dragunov's blast bisected the Martian mecha and sent the halves crashing against the wall. The top half was twitching, quite possibly it was still connected to the (quite possibly also bisected and also twitching) Martian pilot.

Josephine started punching the scan button until she realized that there was either a lack of a way to do both that and fire her weaponry unless she made some modifications herself (thanks base engineers), so instead she signalled the PRIORITY to everyone to focus their fire on the pilot mechs.

There were two of them. Her onboard computer marked Luis as the most possible pilot other than her to fire on them before they could stabilize from the trans-gate jump-landing.

"Setting my Dragunov to fire first; glad for your repairs to everyone Luis! Everyone, ignore the other pilot, it landed in a pothole."

All guns, fire at the mass murdererer! Utopia Planitia-AA890.
After Luis acts, of course.

And if ever any guns are still able (because target somehow died?), retarget onto the other Martian mech!

Kenneth looked around at the devastation surrounding him, the various lesser drones he had wiped out, before seeing the miserable state Josephine was in. That mech was more dangerous than he had anticipated. He redirected all of his fire towards the Utopia Planitia VII-AA890, knowing that there was no chance he could pierce its armor.

Josephine was extremely glad that despite the many things she had wished (if she had a better engineering degree) were present, were not available to her, that she finally was able to reconfigure the scanner settings to work with her mech firing calculator and computer.

Now it was only the problem of an EMP discharge.

"Luis, you're free to tend to the others; I'll be okay otherwise!"

All guns, hit the priority target! Dragunov fires first followed by Blastas.

Any remaining guns, redirect onto the other mech.

Josephine looked at her weaponry, then at the scattered debris on the battlefield, and decided to finish this all up.

Scan...the general area! If possible, emphasize the blown up wrecks of those unknown Martian mechs!

And then all guns, boop the last Flygun!

Until she remembered that there was still no computer update to her system. She swore that would be a priority. And given everything was a burning, unidentifiable wreck, there was only one thing to do now.

Fortunately, Luis managed to shoot right in the middle of the bot. The resultant explosion threw robo-debris across large area.

Mission 1 Complete!

Few distant explosions soon were silenced, as the radios in pilots' cockpits cracked into activity.

"Zeta Squad, this is command. All enemy forces have been vaporized and the Trans-Gate phenomena is in process of destabilization. The assault on our base is over. Code yellow. You may return to the hangar now."

I'm too used to the stability of the long rifles...

((Hey Haspen? Thoughts on "cohesion" points as compared to FEFs support system? The more we rp or bond, we get points that can lead to squad bonuses effective like active boosts!))

As Josephine returned to the hangar, she scanned the surroundings of allied wrecks or casualties...which were minimal! (With a range of error due to the EMP fuzzing up the scanning, resetting after degaussing protocols in the hours that would come)

She chipped into the mech intercomms as the maintenance crew approached.
Who'd have thought that mere hours from transfer and this happens. I wonder if our location is compromised?

The computerized intercom spoke up.

"Code yellow. No immediate hostilities in the area. Code yellow. All combat personnel maintain battle readiness. Engineering squads prepare for assessment and maintenance of base facilities and vehicles. Medical teams prepare emergency rooms for approximately hundred wounded.  Zeta Squad report to Commander Petersen for debriefing."

Copy that Command. Zeta squad returning to base.

Jason switched frequencies, before comming his squad.

There is no way this was a coincidence. The timing is just too perfect. Beyond our pay grade to think about that though. We just have to worry about shooting the Reds in front of us. Josephine's got that part already. Putting us lads to shame!

"Either way, it looks like the fun has ended for now. Now all we have left is the post-mission drudgery." He then turned off the comm briefly, yawning for about four-to-five seconds before resuming his message. I do hope the martians aren't just faking us out, and have actually stopped for now. How am I gonna get any sleep if they keep taking us like a thief in the night?"

Beyond our pay grade to restrict thoughts, honestly. Also thank you! But I couldn't have done anything if it weren't for the rest of you! I'm wondering how those trans-gates work, however. It is not a coincidence given it was led by...erm, a notorious individual. Even more that this may be a reconnaissance squad; interest resumes with 'one whole squad disappeared and mission failed', to our benefit!

Josephine leaned back and busied herself with drafting mail for the local weapons/ordnance officers, and her taxes! She had to remind herself she was still in her mech, so nobody else could feel the increased temperature of her blushing.
Everything counts in my book. I was just lucky to be in a position to fire on them first! "Also I don't drink but I still have no idea what and how to tell the rest of you fine folks that..." -ahem, honestly I believe the kill is to the works of every single one of us! Party on the house from me!

Once at the Commander's office, Petersen shook each pilot's hand.

"Very well done, pilots. You've exelled in your duty and once again, welcome in Plymouth. Get used to fighting at moment's notice; lately the Martians are concentrating on Europe. Also, your badges now."

Commander Petersen opened up a small box handed to him by one of aides, and pinned small red strips to the breast of each pilot.

Lieutenant Josephine Valle Tala receives (https://i.imgur.com/h094Xrq.png) Combat Baptism badge!
Lieutenant Jason Thrace receives (https://i.imgur.com/h094Xrq.png) Combat Baptism badge!
Lieutenant Luis Augusto dos Santos Oliveira receives (https://i.imgur.com/h094Xrq.png) Combat Baptism badge!
Lieutenant Kenneth Parley receives (https://i.imgur.com/h094Xrq.png) Combat Baptism badge!

"I must congratulate Lieutenant Tala on her triple kill during her first mission. Rarely I've seen anyone score so many dead Martians so fast. Keep it up, and after next sortie I will pin an Ace badge to your uniform."

"Because I've seen your usefulness, prowess and loyalty in combat, your files have been uploaded into UNMDF Interstore and your names were authorized by the High Command. You may now inquiry other bases for equipment replacements or spare units, as well as offer Pilots posted anywhere your own Mecha parts you no longer use. Of course, do that through the computer terminals in your quarters"

//You can now search UNMDF Interstore via quarters for random pieces of equipment being available. You can ask for them, but chances are higher if you offer some other piece in return.

"High Command will also be expanding your squad in near future, hopefully we can reach the standard number of 6 within a month. That is all. Dismissed."

Post by: Tiruin on June 21, 2018, 11:50:46 am
Post-badge and fun stuff...
Josephine whistled a song of her homeland as she strolled down the halls to contact the UNMDF Interstore. Pay was up in a few days or so, and she spent her spare change bonding with the guys and checking out the ordinance, all in between regular maintainance of her mech and small parts. She knew the UNMDF Interstore was much like a free-traders area where people could requisition items or modules for free, especially if they have one to offer back; it reminded her of the 'honesty store' back in the northernmost parts of her archipelago and how successful it was despite no constant watcher and the only influence being one's own deliberation. Although this one was crewed.

She did also remember, as she approached the communications terminal, that she promised someone something and it had to do with the Interstore...maybe it was best to just ask and let them decide to feel around for familiarity, so she wouldn't end up undercutting anyone?

"Hello there, this is the first time I've visited this place and...can I ask for any equipment you can spare?"
Ask for a random thing from the UNMDF Interstore...

She also inquires other bases for selling off her Type13-TWEET mech for a Type-13BESPECTACLED, and what anyone would buy to sell her a(nother) Dragunov or a Ordnance Guidance Computer, and noted down offers and responses...

There was always the idea of breaking away from the conformational...SRP, or the suggested retail price back when she was merely a trainee pilot. This was very new grounds to tread on.

How she wished there was some salvage that was available, but the battle did take place on military grounds...

Jason reviewed the interstore catalogue and noted how sparse it was. He understood the concept, passing on used modules to other pilots to avoid the price gouging from the manufacturers, but it was still so... limited.

What if a pilot couldn't find someone who would trade him a module? What if no one would trade for a module?
They were forced to turn to the manufacturers and their 90% price difference.

What the pilots needed was a second hand store. Somewhere they could trade their old modules for credits to fund an upgrade, or look for improvements at a budget. Jason accepted all the free item offers, before writing his own entry:

Josephine checked her offer and noticed the...variance in price and range of it in such a public network. She tacks on another barter request on there, while claiming a few offers herself.

She also heads off intermittently to inquire about any possibility of 'mech swaps', basically by the end of the month, she goes off and transfers the TWEET-13 for the upgraded BESPECTACLED version...
(Trade-ins, like my mech costs 7k, and the next tier is 9.5k; if I had 2.5k credits, may I get that higher tier by swapping the base cost and additional funds?)
Also asks any rules regarding the Interstore, like what she just did--grab and retrade...

"I am glad we can get as much as we want, but also that I'm learning many things I should have known but forgotten somehow."

Josephine shoved an email to all her fellow pilots to tell them about how fun the Interstore was, and delivery times with free shipping.

No other questions, other than continuing to ask about trade prices (as mentioned prior) and if there's any way, outside saving 9.5k credits, to barter up from a 7k credit mech...to the authorities handling trade and marketing on base.

Commander Petersen was waiting inside his office, with two badge-less UNDMF lieutenants and a holovid depicting some sort of Martian bot.

"You've arrived." He waved his hand toward the two pilots.

"Lieutenants Lemashe Aphudovy and Rein Force." He then gestured toward the starter team.

//Lieutenants Lemashe Aphudovy (SaberToothTiger) and Rein Force (TricMagic) are in!

"Lieutenants Tala, Thrace, Augusto and Parley, meet your new squad mates. You will introduce them and tour them around the base most important facilities at a later date, however." He tapped his mobile computer few times, enlarging the holographic projection in the middle of the room.

"This is a new heavy assault bot used by Martians. From what leaked information we've gathered, it seems that its working name is 'Olympus Mons'. Thirtyy percent larger than BUSTERs from ARMSTRONG company. Thick armor, three hardpoints, one of them boasting an armor piercing cannon. It seems the alien bastards have caught up with the fact that our shield technology is lagging and our mecha are getting better and better armor and structural strength instead. The only good thing is that this new Martian dronebot is slow and easily targeted, but considering most of our soldiers are crackshots already, it's low evasion score is hardly a weakness. Our database operators have already uploaded tactical data on Olympus Mons to your onboard computers."

Well that's one chunky mutha. Our squad kill team should be able to handle it just fine though.  Jason grinned, glancing over at Jo and Ken.

One of the new pilots straightened his back and saluted upon seeing his new squadmembers. There was talk of them back home, talk of new veterans in the Mechanised Corps. Apparently there was a team of four mechs which had eradicated a Martian incursion without much difficulty. Serving with experienced pilots was quite an honor. Now, if the man wanted to survive the war and perhaps even join the esteemed ranks of Earthen heroes, he had to learn from anyone willing to teach him. The man listened to the briefing with great attention and especially noted the names of his companions. Every name sounded exotic, at least to a simple mind from a small village in the Caucasus. Then, when the Commander paused his briefing the pilot perked up. "Permission to speak, sir!" he said before turning to the other pilots.

"It is an honor to serve alongside you, lieutenants. It is most generous of you to let me join you in the many battles that will come ahead."

The man bowed his head and turned to Rein.

"Evading foes is a dishonor. If we are to maintain our nape huzhkle we must face our enemies head on and brave their wrath directly."

"I run light and strike where the iron is hot. The principles of combat is not to bleed for your world, but to make them bleed for theirs'. And I like to think I can do my job well."

"Hope to see you put them down hard alongside me"

Force turns to speak with the other four.


"I hope to test myself against you in sim one day soon."

Speaking to the commander-"Sir, if I may ask, what are our orders. From what you said, we do not have much time for chit-chat."

"That is true." He switched the holovid from the new dronebot to a big map. The very western tip of Britain was flashing red.

"At fourteen hundred hours, the Martians have begun a major assault on the Cornwall's End naval and armor base. It includes several Martian ships, hundreds of drones and they've already established a stable Trans-Gate point on the shore. Cornwall Defense Forces are doing all they can to repel the invasion, but the casualties are mounting." The map changed to a spinning show of several mecha, tanks, trucks and planes.

"Several convoys and air support teams have been already dispatched or are being prepared for dispatch. You will be assigned to Convoy 13. It is comprised of five M-Ap5 and four M-E2 tanks, as well as six trucks; two with munitions, two with electronics, and two heavily armored with classified cargo. The tanks are not the escort - you are. Each tank and truck counts, but our remote spydrones already detected several barricades, patrol groups and we've got reports of drone ambushes and aerial bombardments against previous convoys."

"The tanks will provide some fire support, of course, but remember that you will be doing most of the fighting, and that you're responsible for safe delivery of the vehicles. After you get in the close vicinity of the base, you will be given the order to disengage and return, for we might need to dispatch additional convoys. Get ready and report to the hangar. You're leaving in twenty minutes." He looked at all six pilots.

"And that is all. Dismissed!"

Move to the Hanger immediately, and run a systems check.

Whilst Jason stepped through the start-up sequence, he keyed his comms: I agree with Lt Force. The best way to survive a strike is to be somewhere else. Preferably having already struck your opponent.

Start-up will be complete in three minutes. It looks like we'll be keeping to schedule.

Lt. Tala listened and let everyone else speak during briefing. It was a good time as any to see impressions herself form on them, and then think ahead from that point. She only had one question for the commander...

"Sir, can we deploy ahead of the convoy then? I do believe our presence makes us more of a target, especially after our weapons start firing. Are our mechs at the same mobility to reach the area after clearing the first obstacles?"
==+==
"Glad to know the Martians still retain the sense of symbolism. Olympus Mons is-or...was the highest peak on Mars. I'm unsure what they have now given the terraforming and the satellite blackout on our part." Josephine stared and sighed mentally being the only female present--not that it was anything negative, it was more that she did want to talk about personal things wholly unrelated entirely, until it hit her that this was conditioning from centuries past and only present because this one person in family was that influential on her...

"Evading foes is a dishonor. If we are to maintain our nape huzhkle we must face our enemies head on and brave their wrath directly."
"Evading their weapons isn't! I should show you one of the recordings from battle; you could see the tracers whizz past the camera (...my camera for that point). That said, I should introduce the rest of you to the Interstore! I can make an order in advance for later."


Spoiler: She brought up an old email which may be outdated in offers presented given the past week... (click to show/hide)
"That being said, it is nice to meet you two! I do hope you're all used to shooting and moving, because we'll be doing a lot of mobility exercises from thereon out. I do wish our mechs had the same shaped and slanted armor like those tanks though; gives much less of a target and a lot more in protection. Also...I envy your choice of mechs," she said, with the last sentence being more a whisper to that one pilot who had the fancy BESPECTACLED mech around.

If she had browsed the pilot manual (or...at least, had one of the NEWLY UPDATED ONES), she would've known that your starting mech was the most influential and highest investment a newbie pilot could make in comparison to any equipment available. But that wasn't available in the manuals she had when before she was set out for deployment.

The envy tasted like machine oil and felt like a constant itch outside of your range of scratching.

"Maybe you do things different here. I learn, though! You is perhaps right." Aphudovy blurted out. "But mechanism is indestructible. It is armor not penetrable. For proof, nobody yet destroy mechanism."

For a second there, Lemashe thought his words over. Tempting fate just before battle was perhaps not the best advised thing one could do. Annoying the people who would watch your back was even worse. Perhaps he should apologise?

"You right, though. I will run like coward chicken and hide from enemy."

Much better. Surely, no man or woman could be insulted after such a polite statement.

"I stay with truck. I get attention from enemy and they not see backstabber mechanism hiding in bush."

There was no time for idle chit-chat, though. Aphudovy walked to the hangar in which his prized mecha waited for him. A machine thrice the height of a man, covered in composite armor and exotic weaponry stood there, waiting to join the ranks in the long war ahead. There was no time for admiring, though, and the pilot quickly climbed into his seat. The mech quickly whirred to life, activating all systems. Inside the pilot's cabin the music of Baragunov begun playing.

Mission 2, Turn 1

An hour later, the convoy was long underway, but so far there was no enemies near it. Various giant maggots crawled (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaX_GIiC5yM) elegantly along the heat-blasted landscape of southeastern Britain, as various old listening and recording devices on fortified posts and ruins of buildings were dark and silent.

Quote from: Initiative rolls

Josephine: 5+0.5 = 5.5
Kenneth: 5+0.1 = 5.1
Lemashe: 4
Rein: 3+0.1 = 3.1

((Warning: All my knowledge comes from Homeworld, the game :P wherein the delta formation is the default "V" shaped pattern of unit formation))
"Everyone get into delta formation, screen the tanks and move forward with scanners alert. Watch the buildings and corners; if they can see us, we can see them. Heavy armor to the center, ranged weapons to the flanks, and EMP-gunners to watch for enemy pilots and heat signatures; remember to relay information for our tanks to focus their support fire on if you feel you can't take a target down. Most of them carry AP shells, forgoing the common HE, and the rest are armed with electrical weaponry."

Josephine checked in with the tank commander on the status of the armored column before proceeding. It didn't hurt to do a last communications check for good measure.

Scanner the area! And move onwards!

//For sake of the game and simplicity, I've decided that Jason waited so that he can now try the Bonus Task too.

Josephine scanned the area...

...and a warning blip came up! A small Martian Dragonfly probe, masking its radio emissions, is perched on one of the ruined buildings.

It must've picked up being scanned, as it took off into the sky - it's trying to escape!

Josephine fiddled with a few controls until realizing the delay between scanning and weapons targeting...
If I can still shoot at it, fire my only BLASTA weapon at that dragonfly! (Do not use Dragunov)

The drone exploded into pieces when the energy beam struck right into center of it.

But how much information did it gather? And for how long? Was the tiny thing responsible for so many allied casualties during previous convoys?

Who the heck knows. The coast was still clear of the enemies, and so was the radar screen.

"Keep the initiative up Lt. Rein, the way I see it, those kinds of drones are purely for reconnaissance and intelligence, meaning powerful sensors comparable to transmitting and relaying. If there was only one, then that means they were surveilling this area, or they have quite the technology.

"I'd rather ask command about what degree of technology we have in comparison. That being said, I think it's better if you led the spearhead for now. I'm unsure if they could detect which of us performed the scan but I'd likely be targeted as I am the only one with an active scanning unit as of the present."

Shoot Flygun A with Blasta, reserve Dragunov for later.
