Chronicles of Martian Aggression War! Game/IC Thread!

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.

<insert other player's RP>

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
