Try to get corporate sponsorship.

I bet we can get money if we plaster the side of our helicopter with Coca-Cola logos :v

I already have a corporate sponsorship.

Hmm, so you do.

Sorry, I'll change that to Pepsi.

But getting more doesn't hurt. It just means more money.

No, I'm sponsored by Nintendo and Blizzard, (they don't make the same kind of games so its OK) as well as Loot Crate and Catalyst Gaming Mints. You should keep the sponsorship to Coca Cola.

Helicopter loadout:
2x heavy autocannons, 620 2000 bullets
30x first and kits, 30x medic bags.
130x rations.
10x smoke grenades.

10,500 for medical kits
3250 for rations
500 for 10 smoke grenades

for another $1,311,325

Emma makes a phone call to Pepsi marketing...

"We're saving the world from aliens, and YOU can have your brand at the forefront of humanities efforts!" We roll on her charisma with a bonus of 0. (20)

The team gets an overwhelming response from the eager soda company that wants to be seen to be saving the world. Our HALO heavy helicopter now mounts a neon billboard with pepsi on it. We have lights flashing their red and blue logo for all to see. Now the whole world will know that Pepsi has come to their rescue in their darkest hour... We are also informed that we will be rewarded if we can find materials that might be beneficial to the soda industry.

Emma then has to negotiate the terms of the payment She adds her intelligence and willpower bonuses and talks tough. (18+2).

We'll be given 2 million dollars per mission day per vehicle that mounts neon billboards with pepsi logos. We're being paid like football stars! Of course the neon billboards will completely nullify any attempts at stealth.

With a normal sniper rifle (i.e. with normal bullets, not lasers), do some target practice at 700 meters, with moving targets, and a fog machine on. Because firing practice.

BTW, I failed to mention this, but Nox is from Ukraine.

Your ballistic skill of 6 gives a bonus of +2

You sight a target at extreme range, 700 meters. Which adds 6 to the difficulty. The target moves about, simulating a target sprinting from cover to cover, adding another 2 to the difficulty. Furthermore you decide to simulate low visibility, adding another 2 to the difficulty.

You roll d20+2 against DC 20.

(12+2) You miss. You have to roll 21 or 22 to hit. No real ammo was used in the simulation.

...I hadn't quite realized how much money we get.  Huh.  Well, I talked to Aigre in IRC, and got us an extension to the armory.

Spoiler: New items: (click to show/hide)

Frag Grenade: $25
Smoke (Chlorate) Grenade: $50
Smoke (WP) Grenade: $50
Teargas grenade (acts as smoke): $300

Mi-34 Light Helicopters: $1,000,000

Anti-Somalian Pirate Merc: $250 (per mission)
Trained Helicopter Pilot: $10,000 (per mission)

Spoiler: Trump, grand economist that he is, commandeers $4,232,000 and buys: (click to show/hide)

Four Mi-34 light helicopters, with four pilots to fly them, and thirty-six anti-pirate mercs (four exploded while arming their C4, had to get replacements).  The helicopters have big glowing pepsi billboards on them, and the soldiers are mostly there to make it look like the copters are more than a way to get more advertising money from Pepsi.

Pepsiman Loadout ($6k, including $250 hiring cost):

Code: [Select]

$1k - Autogun
$200 - 200x Autogun rounds
$2k - Flak armor, painted with Pepsi advertisements.  That's why it's red, honest.
$500 - C4 backpack, remotely detonatable by Trump.
$100 - First aid kit
$100 - Gas Mask
$1.8k - 6x Teargas grenade
$50 - A beer and a ration
An additional cost is $3k, paying for the four idiots who blew themselves up while arming their bombs for remote detonation.

And I'm redoing my inventories:

Money left over, subtracting cost of Trump's original loadout:
$4,404,200

Per player:
$1,101,050

Spoiler: Trump spends $1,076,050 on his own equipment, leaving $25k for other people (click to show/hide)

Both Trump and Sokolov get a copy of this:

Code: [Select]

$10k - Thermal cam
$25 - 1x ration
$200 - 8x beer
$3k - 12x medic's bags
$3k - rebreather
$2k - 2x katana
$12k - lasrifle (30 shots)
$3k - 10x teargas
$350 - 7x WP smoke
$250 - 5x Ch smoke
$200 - 8x frag
Sokolov additionally gets:

Code: [Select]

$2k - Flak armor
$10k - 10x laser batteries
Trump additionally gets:

Code: [Select]

$500k - Combat Hardsuit Mk1
$90k - Light autocannon
$400k - 4000 Light Autocannon bullets
$24k - x80 more teargas nades
$2k - x40 more WP nades

Post actions in BOLD, and post your character sheets with your actions for easier processing.

Hey, I had an action in bold and at the bottom of my character sheet, where is it?

[Glass]

I did not realize we still had that much money...
Night vision goggles and thermal imaging cameras for everyone!

Let's also get some jeeps, maybe 3 of them, with at least 1 of them (preferably 2) not having the Pepsi billboards, and in fact having camo on it/them (the third can be a distraction). Each will have a light autocannon.

Also, did my armor get camo mods?
Also also, what bonuses might I have gotten if I succeeded in the training sim?
Also also also, try the sim again. Same conditions. But only if this might be giving me tangible benefits. Otherwise, try to get any and all information I can on where the aliens' vital organs are.

EDIT: And another also: Mr. Donald J. Trump, let's remove the sign from at least one of those helicopters. The ones with signs will find their best use as being decoys.

[Nirur Torir]

Buy a pair of combat hardsuits, one for myself and one for my minion.
Search Google for an aircraft mechanic, so we can fly any damaged craft there after the mission.

Let's remove the sign from at least one of those helicopters. The ones with signs will find their best use as being decoys.

I disagree. Let's get money.

I disagree. Let's get out alive.

Please save some money for science purposes. Tearing apart the corpses to get at the secrets inside ain't cheap, you know.

Please see SM's character.

[Egan_BW]

I see no science expenditure there, only mediocre science skill.

[Nirur Torir]

Fiiiine, I won't spend half a million on armor for my aircraft pilot.
