Title: Starship Troopers, Minimalist RTD
Post by: Aigre Excalibur on September 30, 2018, 02:43:31 am
"Cmon you apes, you wana live forever?"

The ramp of the dropship falls. Opening to the landscape of barren Klendathu.

Join the Mobile Infantry, they said. Service Guarantees Citizenship, they said. All you have now is your guts in your mouth and a perpetually angry sergeant bellowing in your com-bead to get the fuck out of the lander and into the dust and sand.

Also in the 23rd Century, Trump should be long dead (one can hope, or maybe in the next few years humanity achieves immortality and he buys his way to immortality while running for emperor of mankind), so Trump should just be a random fat college kid with memories of having been Trump in his last incarnation.

Aigre, my friend, Trump will never die.  Even in death his legend will live on, becoming an indeliable mark on history--and like all of history, Trump will repeat himself endlessly.

What I'm saying is that my character is a vat-grown clone of Trump, funded by the Trump-cloning laws Trump  passed just before his impeachment.  Due to the anti-clonigration laws passed shortly before, Trumps are not cloned with full citizenship (or generally any rights at all), which is why they join the military.

Attempt to figure out what a databox does. Ask pilot or sergeant if necessary.

A databox is what they call PDAs or tablet computers in this universe. (The book was written in 1959, they had computing machines, but science fiction writers envisioned the microcomputer as a box that kept getting smaller.)

Spoiler: dropship (click to show/hide)

The forward doors swing open, your squad stumbles out onto the barren desert terrain of Klendethu. Other metal box dropships are landing around you, spewing their loads of infantrymen the moment they touch the ground. Bug plasma fills the air as what counts for bug Anti-Aircraft-Artillery attempts to shoot the landing dropships and orbital fleet out of the sky.

"Move out now, advance!" Your platoon sergeant bellows into your helmet radio. Around you, other semi-dazed adrenaline fueled infantrymen stumble towards the direction of the enemy triple-A.

Advance at an isolated enemy and shoot it until it dies.

You rush forward and crest a small hill. You see a huge "plasma bug" in a valley below. It's like a giant ladybug that seems to be discharging plasma artillery from its butt. A dozen or so warrior bugs are scurrying about, providing security for it.

[5]

You sight the nearest warrior a few hundred meters away and fire several short controlled bursts at its nerve stem. It goes down shrieking. The rest of the warriors charge at you.

You crest that hill with Gent and start directing nearby infantrymen to fire at the advancing bugs.

[2]

You are overriden when a more enthusiastic NCO shouts over you and orders the nearby units to hold at the ridge.
It is a good attempt and you would have gained merit points for a command attempt if you succeeded.

[3]
You have been ordered to hold position and hold your fire. But you enthusiastically support Gent with covering fire. You empty an entire clip, grazing a few bugs over the long distance, and generally enraging them more. The enemy makes more noise and calls more warriors to converge on your position.

Said NCO angrily bellows at you to "hold fire goddammit!". You gain 1 merit point for trigger happiness.

You advance with the rest of your platoon...

[1] You make a poor decision to lob a grenade at the advancing enemy several hundred meters away.

[5] You throw in a way that would make any football player proud. Your grenade soars 50 meters or so and explodes safely away from your team mates.

The Sergeant stares at you as if you have a mental illness, then decides he has bigger problems to worry about as the group of bugs advances towards your position.

[4] You advance with your platoon. Then you point at the giant plasma bug and loudly declare it to be as ugly as the bad hombres back home. The United Citizen Federation embraces all peoples from all walks of life. Several soldiers give you annoyed looks, and you succeed in momentarily distracting them from their front sights. A latino soldier or two mutter vague threats towards your person if they survive this godforsaken bug planet.

Spoiler: "Faust von Hiptenburg" (click to show/hide)

Run past Jäger, shouting SCHNELLER! and spraying bullets in front of him.

You too deploy with the rest of the platoon.

[5] You heroically run forward, your german war cry is so inspiring that a couple of impressionable young men leap from cover to run with you. You gain 1 merit point for being inspirational.


Platoon Actions:

The Sergeant yells at everyone to get the fuck in cover. He arms a missile launcher with a tactical oxygen nuclear warhead. He sighs in resignation at the brave men running ahead... They should survive a pewee kiloton nuke at this range anyway.

[6]

He sights the big plasma bug and fires. The plasma bug is obliterated by a miniature sun that now engulfs where it should be. The nearby warrior bugs are also incinerated by the blast.

Gent and Faust roll to survive the shockwave.

[2], [5]

Gent Ostrich goes flying in the air!

[3] He lands on a pile of rocks and fractures some ribs, while his armor absorbs most of the impact. He earns a light wound.

Faust finds a convenient defilade to duck in and the nuclear blast rolls over him harmlessly.

The nuclear blast also collapses most of the valley floor, revealing a massive sink hole below... that is crawling with... vaporized bugs.

"Form a line! Follow me!" The platoon sergeant leaps from cover and advances onwards into the cratered valley. You hear the chittering of more bug swarms from a distance both in front and below you.

Jane Doe's Attack Roll: [2]

Jane Doe tries to thump Trump, but her rifle clangs harmlessly off his armor... A pin comes loose from the impact and the rifle disassembles itself into several pieces.

Trump blusters loudly in Jane's face, getting spittle all over her. He gets the attention of a few thuggish troopers and calls her a liberal who wants to take jobs away from hardworking men in the federation. "She thinks she is the one to tell men, men who are naturally stronger, how to squish bugs! Soon she will want to be a squad leader, and then a general, and before you know it she'll be taking all the best jobs!"

The troopers nod, entranced by Trumps words. They glare disapprovingly at Jane Doe.

Michael Fires [1]

Faust Fires [1]

Jason Shreds the bug in the nerve stem, earning a kill.

Michael and Faust fire fully automatic into Gent. The rounds penetrate his armor and turn him into chunky salsa. (It's an accident, no court martial)

Gent earns a death from friendly fire. His next of kin can volunteer for the mobile infantry and be awarded full honors for Gents sacrifice. They will be deployed via drop pod in a turn or so.

[5] You convince every misogynist in earshot that the female of the species is the real threat, not the bugs. Half the platoon goes on strike, refuses to advance, and start giving venomous glares at anything that looks female. It is actually quite difficult to tell under the helmets and armor so they just act hostile towards anyone with soft skin and who isn't behaving like a brute. Unit cohesion collapses.

There is no grenade endangering Trump, but you feel the urge to kick something.

[5] You stomp on Jane Doe's head, ending her life. And increasing your liabilities to Murder.

Death rolls:

[1] Several warrior bugs grab Marius with their mandibles, and proceed to tear him limb from limb.

[2] After Trump gives his speech, a warrior bug breaks through the lines, and stabs him through the left shoulder. The claw runs through Trump, armor flesh and all, and is lodged inside.

[2] A bug advances on Frank Goldstein, and slashes at him. A claw penetrates Frank through the groin, shattering the hip and pubic bone. Frank is impaled and maimed.

[1] An arachnid warrior breaks through the lines and clamps its mandibles around Michael's neck, hoisting him aloft. Michael is grappled by the neck.

[4] Suhrat survives, as the nearby arachnids are too busy chomping on the rest of the team.

[4] Faust is also ignored by the bugs, for now.

[2] A bug breaks through and implales Yoink through the chest with its claws. It just misses his heart.

Platoon Actions:

[6] The sergeant rallies a nearby squad or two and starts pushing the bugs back towards the crater... well most of them, except the ones busy impaling the team.

[5] The misogynists rally around Trump and fire into the bug impaling him. They kill it, and saw off the claw attached to Trump, but leave the object in the wound to prevent him from bleeding out.

Quote from: Yoink on October 05, 2018, 04:57:46 pm
LAST TURN I WAS IN MENTIONED ME IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES, NOT 100% SURE WHAT GOING ON

YOU MENTIONED HEAD BOUNCING ALONG, BUT THEN I GOT STABBED MORE IN DEATH ROLL AT END OF TURN?
BIT HARD TO POST CURRENT SHEET WHEN NOT SURE IF HEAD STILL ATTACHED


IF FAUST TACKLE BUG OFF ME AFTER IT STAB ME SECOND TIME, LIE STILL AND ATTEMPT TO STAUNCH BLEEDING BEFORE CRAWLING TO MEDIC

IF I ACTUALLY JUST A HEAD ROLLING DOWN HILL, TRY AND SCREAM CURSES AT BUGS AS I GO

[2] You turn into a bleeding head with extra stabs wounds. You bounce around the battlefield but you can't seem to die. You inflict harsh language upon men and bugs alike. Everyone's morale takes a hit.

Death rolls:

[2] The bug that the Duke kickem kicked impales Duke through the hole where his groin used to be. The claw goes through his body and internal organs and comes out the other side. Then the warrior bug carries Duke Kickem off to its nest to have his brains sucked out before they expire.

[1] The Medic that Goldstine fragged comes back to life. He seems to be saturated with opiates and stimulants. He snatches his medic bag back from Goldstine and grumpily patches himself up.

[5] Fuze is spared as his rounds somehow keep the bugs from advancing further.

[2] All of Trump's ribs fracture as a bunch of fat troopers sit on him. His hands are restrained behind his back and he is handcuffed.

[3] Oat huddles behind his rock as more troopers start dying around him. He also starts urinating where he stands.

Leodany is relatively safe by the ships. Although the ships are not safe from him.

[2] Jane's tender flesh comes apart nicely as the bug chews, swallows and devours them.

[5] Yoink's head doesn't die. It continues bouncing, gaining altitude and kinetic energy as it goes and its screams reach further and further.

Platoon situation:
[3] The sergeant's limbs get torn off. He screams. But he wiggles up to trump to slap and scream at him.
[5] Then the rest of the survivors form a perfect firing line and drive the bugs back.

Theater situation:
[2] The second wave is devoured, just like the first. Troopers are being eaten as soon as they land. Dropships are being shot out of the sky. Some warrior bugs are boarding the dropships and shredding infantrymen within the metal box.

[1] The misogynists are convinced that the sergeant, even chewed into bits, is more of a man than Trump. Trump is a dangerous subversive who starts riots in the middle of highly lethal combat environments. They are suspicious that he might have been working for the bugs all along.

Trump does insult the feminists so badly that one of them walks up to him and applies a morita butt to his face. The cheek is broken.

Platoon situation:

The survivors now consist almost entirely of misogynists and feminist rioters.

[5]. [1].

The survivors impose a patriarchy. As their first act as petty rulers, they start a systematic femicide. All your womenfolk are now dead.

Theater situation: 1

All your radios start chiming up: "It's a general retreat! Back to the ships!"

Everyone left on the field simultaneously routs. The bugs tear into their backs.

Just as planned!  The weak women have been purged from the platoon, now it's time for Trump to take his place as leader!  Point out the to the remaining men that it was *Trump* who made them realize the error of the military's ways, and they never would have purged the unmanliness from the platoon if it weren't for him!  And that means they should save him from the bugs.

If that fails or isn't an option, complement the bugs on their tremendous looks, and tell them that Trump is also a bug on his mother's side.  You can tell by his complexion.  In fact, he's actually descended from long lost bug royalty and therefore should be put in charge; he'll be sure to lead the charge and heroically take back Klendathu for the bugs!  If they don't believe him, just look at what he's already achieved for the bugs--he's single-handedly caused the humans to kill half their own, and then retreat!

If Trump knows a more insulting slur for the bugs than "bugs", he'll use that term instead.

Trump is being taken to see the brain bug.

Richard and Oat are dead dead.
