"Oh, that's just great."Equip shield and pistol, leave the store, and see if i can "borrow" a vehicle.

Get my gear out of the pod. Locate my squad commander via HUD and group up. Wait for stragglers. Head north with the group.

((Darn, didn't get to ask questions. Oh well, into the fray!))

Get into cover and check perimeter. How far to the forest? Start going for the forest once those going there are ready to move. Move to the objective along the edge of it.

((By the way, do we have an nco npc to command us, or are each of us supposed to just do whatever we fel like?))

Contact whatever we have in terms of field command.
:Yamato here. Our squad has landed well, 2 troopers unnaccounted for. No hostiles yet, some civvies though.:

Then, on the squad channel.
:Yamato here. Zeron, Pyronia, where did you land, and what's your status?:

Then he addressed his squad directly.
"So, now what? I'd say we regroup with the other two if we can and move up to the objective through the forest's edge. It'll give us some cover, and concealment from whatever ordnance they can throw at us. And get us out of this urban area, I'd rather not be blindsided. This ok for the rest of you?"

"March to the objective troopers! Those who fall behind stay behind."
March along the edge of the forest towards the enemy base.

Oh, and message to Amyclas: "Are you okay? It looks like someone chose the wrong drop pod."

With the enemy soldiers so close, Amyclas has to silence his radio. Can it, Mr Radio man, can't you see that I need to be a bit sneaky here?

He takes cover by lying prone in a defilade and waits for the enemy patrol to come closer, his flamethrower ready to open up when they do.

Contact Zeron: "Hudson here. I read you Zeron. No response from Pyronia. Either he's toast or is busy keeping a low profile. Anyway, let's regroup ASAP as Yamato suggests."

Confirm that I have all my equipment. Move out with the rest of my teammates. Travel along the edge of the forest close to the road to keep watch for any enemies that might be patrolling the area.

Way ahead of you Yamato. Regrouping is SOP for drops anyway, since all the way back when they used cloth on strings to drop from.

Yo, Amyclas, Your radio is an earbud and a subvocal mike in your throat. No one can hear you unless they have one in their ear. speak up. What's your situation?

*whispers*

"Amyclas here, Situation excellent, about to cook me some dinner."

Focuses on the group of soldiers closing in on him.

Follow the squad, and perform a valiant rearguard action, in case our pods betray us.

A had a busy weekend + monday, so forgive me for the lack of response until now.

DROP ME, AIM DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO SOMEONE
Sorry about that, I missed you on the initial launch. You'll drop when I update fully tomorrow.

You are both right. I did say that your radio is built into your helmet, but, I like the idea of microphone implant in ones throat. So, we'll say that you all have the mikes built into yourselves. But, the actual long range uplink is in your helmet. If all of your helmets are destroyed, then you'll only have short range comms.

The idea being that if your helmet is destroyed, you are probably dead as well.

Also, you can activate and de-active your radios with a thought.

((Darn, didn't get to ask questions. Oh well, into the fray!))

Get into cover and check perimeter. How far to the forest? Start going for the forest once those going there are ready to move. Move to the objective along the edge of it.

Well, you will have people above you relaying info with the radios, and giving you objectives. Then you all just complete them however you want to. If anyone is still alive once this game has been going on for a while, there might be promotions of sorts for characters who have survived large amounts of combat. Perhaps with those people leading their own squads.

Ask away with those questions, you have radio contact with command.

((No probs, school work comes first, we'll still be here to play imaginary spessmans later.))

((Maybe imagine this was asked before we dropped, cause it'd be kinda weird to only ask it once in the field. Or not, your call of course.))
To command:
"Sir, if I may ask, what sort of resistance can we expect? What does the enemy have in terms of equipment and support, how well could they be entrenched, what's their training? Are we facing rowdy farmers or ex-Terran Alliance military?

What can we expect from the civvie population? Will they be hostile or friendly? What're our rules of engagement?

Do we have any air, armor or artillery support once we're down?

What's the layout of the area? Any parts we should be aware, or wary, of?

Is gassing the enemy base an option?"
