Alright guys and girls, this thread exists to answer any questions and queries you may have in regards to the latest Storm Platoon Story, Hidden Agenda. It's also here so all three squads can communicate with each other if they decide to have similar plot lines or interact in any way, shape or form.

Kudos for the story concept go to Aeos, who was looking to present something a little different story wise than the usual 'go in and rough em' up Imp style' approach. I guess what we really want you all to do with this story is to play around with a different style of writing. There's the potential for a lot of intrigue, secrecy and plot twists with what we've given you, so go ahead and feel free to be creative. The time frame for the story is three weeks (not in real life, we'll see how we go till we set an end date), so that gives you and your squad the time to tackle two or three different objectives which you can set for yourselves. Obviously your SL's and ASL's get first say, but if you have an idea about what you'd like to tackle to achieve mission objectives make sure to let them know.

I'm going to keep Kami in the main city of Kolstor, which I'll also call Kolstor to avoid any confusion. Use her as an NPC if you like SL's, to approve any plans you have or provide you with information or ammunition. I'll write every once and a while, summarizing the changing climate in the government, but you three squads will ultimately be doing the hard yards. The end of the story will reflect how effectively you sway the population and frame the NR.

Also, I have way too much cash sitting in my bank, and am keen to get rid of it. I'll be watching the thread with keen interest and will be sure to reward original, creative and clever posts. Subsequently, If you're looking for a promo or a medal, step up and get noticed

I'm going to ask that everyone wait until an SL or ASL posts for their squad before they go ahead and do so. We'll all travel to Kolstor on separate shuttles to prevent confusion, although we'll arrive at the same time. Skip over the preparation jazz quickly and get to the planet so we can all start causing havoc.

Good luck, and have fun!

Doing really well so far guys, there's a couple of standout posts already. My only gripe: I'd like to see you try to stick with your squad instead of wandering off by yourself, I know it's difficult to co-ordinate large groups, but you're all out to achieve the same objective so work together here.

Hope to see those of you yet to post jump in and have a go. Any questions at all, throw them up here

What I was doing was a little recon myself. And now that I got some results, I'm back with Jester now.

Not you, Hunter.

Cursed has like 20

I now have 3

I'll update as I go along guys, don't need y'all to do it for me. And welcome back Alan, perfect timing.

Keep on trucking, this is turning out great

I like it

Of course I might not be able to post until tomorrow at the earliest, I'm working all weekend. Feel free to make do with Kami and Vee

Ooo... can I help you out Garyll?

Certainly, Cursed. We just have to, at the next VE-NR meeting, get a couple sniper rifles and get into position. From there, at a countdown, we'd shoot at Kami and one of the NR bigshots. Obviously, we'd miss our allies.

At some point after the initial shot, VE forces would react with admirable speed and efficiency in preseving the lives of the politicians (thereby gaining gratitude), then would head out to attempt to catch the 'assassins'

While I know its cool and exciting and exotic to kill someone, Jori, please focus on your squad briefing as first priority, you can do the assassination thing, BUT please only if you know you covered your briefings as well.

Alright... oh, and Jager, you can "accidentally" drop something incriminating that links the NR to the assasination.

Meh, Jester, with Bright going on leave, expect me soon in the story.
As kami said, SL/ASL, please set some targets for your troopers

well, I've completed one of the objectives... in some obscure way, I did find NR loyalists and they are take care for the most part.

uh... other then that, I'am at a loss for anything to do.
