Give and Take [Wildcard Platoon]


Questions about the story and you can't find me on IRC, post them here.

okay lets look at this:

Model   
E-45
Type   
Blaster rifle
Size   
Medium
Length   
49.2cm
Weight   
4.5 kg
Capacity   
500 shots

300 meters

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/E-11
okay well the E-11 requires a special plasma cartridge to go for 500 shots it standard is only about 100 shots. E-45 is heavier by about 1kg but its also longer. E-11 was prone to overheating, lets say this one is not, better coolant design.

Both weapons are 'standard' equipment so they are basically matched, lets just call this one the 2.0 version. All the features you mentioned the E-45 would have too with the addition of more shots and less overheating issues and slightly better accuracy but that was blown out of proportion on the brochure

I've already had this discussion with Havock on IRC, but you're saying that all that defines a weapon is capacity, range, size and weight?

Sorry guys, here are some links you probably should have had:

Sump

Multi-Ordinance Launcher (MOL)

Sweet thanks Jeg.

Now you kids didn't think you would just take a walk and find the launchers and go home did you?

/me cackles

OOC:

IH/RAIDERS

• IH/RAIDERS will start waking in a southeast direction towards the location of the MOL's
• Find an Abandoned Mine, which was used for many decades to find Precious Metals of various types.
• Mine is not vacant, a squad of Imperial Army Troopers (IATs) from the Order of Rengar is there holding Rogueboy.
• Save RB, geeze, did I need to say that one
• They will have information about a listening post which is farther east.
  
  

OOC:

BJ/Wraith

• BJ/Wraith with Havock land and head north west of the drop zone towards the edge of a mountain range in the distance.
• About half way there they encounter a town situated on a very gross lake. The town is populated with descendants of the miners that used to inhabit the planet.
• On the outskirts of town is an abandoned factory surrounded by a low level terrain that reeks with spilled chemicals.
• There are snipers in the factory. Take out the snipers and search the area.
• Continue west towards target.

OOC:

Who took our stuff: The Order of Ringar

Order of Ringar

This group of mostly men started off as a fraternal order with similar interests and successful often influential positions in galactic affairs. Eventually they aligned with an imperial Moff by the name of Hadick. Moff Hadick wasn't much to look at for a Zabrak but the fact that he had managed to become a Moff in the Empire was impressive enough, not that everyone believed that. The rumors went from simple that he was flat out lying, to more exciting tales of him slaying whole ship loads of imperial troopers and taking over restaffing the SD's with his own men.

Regardless of the rumors Hadick had his proof in his ship and orders, to protect the empire's glory against threats from the unknown regions. Hadick didn't have to be an intelligent man to know that the assignment was broad and mostly bullshit. Instead he chose to risk his neck and patrol the trade lanes, learning them and learning the people who frequented. Knowing from a distance who was a simple trader, who was a smuggler, and who was something else. If they fit in the last category he would move in like a shark hunting its pray.

When the Empire collapsed, Hadick had a decent reputation among the scum as he called them and started recruiting for his own personal gains. Now he had no further reason to hide what he was doing and no xenophobic insane senator to fry his ass if he didn't follow orders.

He started the Order of the Ringar, named after his father who also could see opportunity in anything even a trash bin. Slowly other small factions were gobbled up by Hadick and his Ringar co-horts. Most traders refer to the Order of the Ringar the way one would describe a ghost haunting a house. They tell tall tales about the mis-matched group of ships that frequent the trade lanes.

For now i'm going to eliminate the max post number. As I looked over the objectives I felt it would confuse you guys more than help. But I still want you working together and moving the story along with each post. Make sure you are coordinating with not only your squad but the squad you are teamed up with. And use #Wildcard

You may find evidence of the Order of Ringar but you will not find CURRENT members of the Order yet (IH/RAIDERS find former members).

Yes there are more obstacles, we are on a planet with inhabitants and animals and lots of trash, obstacles happen. I will post the next set when you guys have completed these. Make them fun, find names for things I didn't name go crazy, yanno within reason

Wait, we had to do all that in 20 posts?

I know we don't now, but still...




EDIT- I've got Wraith and BJ in sight of the town, but we are still a short distance away. 2 Kilometres at the end of my post.

And on the IH/RAIDERS sde of things everybody's steadily making their way iinside the cave and I've just spotted a few of the people holding Rogueboy

Not from my post/s but Wraith and BJ have entered factory after repelling snipers.

EDIT- BJ are pinned down (Serves you right for being reckless ) and Wraith just survived an attack by the second half of a trap. Wraith now looking to relieve BJ.

Garryll still insists he isn't a monkey...

The conversation wasn't that bad like you might think. BJ can still post next, and they can do everything as soon as we fire a few shots; then we are the centre of attention.

So we continue on west now.

Anyone in IH/Raiders know how long it'll take them to get out of where they're in?

Not that I'm complaining or anything... but Aeos is in charge of wraith. So please stop ignoring her and mentioning me.

Pretty please.

Story Summary

Department of Development's shipment of Multi-Ordinance Launchers was intercepted in route to Fort Sexton by a group of mercs working for a rival imperial faction. Intel tracked them moving towards the Corellian spine but then they abruptly changed course and their trail was lost near the remote planet of Sump. Sump is a wasteland of a planet, full of dumps for the neighboring systems trash. Intel surmises that the Mercs were ordered to hide the MOL's on Sump while they worked on finding Ammo for the big guns.

Wildcard Platoon was dropped in from low altitude by the Carrack Class Light Cruiser Excession onto the surface of Sump. Then they split up into two groups to scout out the two sites that most likely could contain the hidden MOL's.

BJ/Wraith headed Northwest and encountered a town full of descendants of the miners that used to populate the planet.  Shots were fired at them from a nearby factory and they went in to investigate. They made quick work of the young snipers and found an emblem on the shooters shirts that possibly belonged to the faction that took the MOL's.

RAIDERS/IH headed the opposite direction to an abandoned mine, only it wasn't abandoned, some Imperial Army Troopers from the Order of Rengar had taken up residence and also taken our XO Rogueboy. The squads rescued RB and cleared out the mine learning of a listening post 10k's from the mine belonging to the Order.

Current Objectives:

BJ/Wraith have arrived at a bunker that is just beyond the factory outside of town. The bunker was well hidden by the terrain and is a main warehouse for the Order of Rengar Faction. There you will find four MOL's and enough ammo for a decent fight should one occur >.>.

Once you get there and secure the MOL's and their ammo, you must find a way to get all of them back to the dropsite to regroup with the others.

RAIDERS/IH have arrived at the listening post to find it in a state of chaos. It was held by the Order's IAT's but they were spread too thin and the Mercs they hired to steal the MOL's decided to take the opportunity and have attacked the IAT's to get control of the comms.

The squads will need to  take control of the comms, then get long range comms up and running and send out a message aiming for the Excession. They will also contact Sam who happened to be doing some training exercises near by with some new gear and is more than willing to lend us a hand getting off planet with the MOL's.

You guys then need to make your way back to the dropsite.

(btw given all the activity on the comms its likely the Order knows somethings up)


Havvie Notes:

Don't rush. Remember the scene, we are in a planet sized dump, use that. Improvised weapons with some trash, maybe just something you see that looks interesting to play with. We are spot on schedule so don't feel like you need to get what I posted here done as fast as possible. If we need to pick up the pace I assure you I will let you know

Oh and Don't forget your SCOPE weapons, you guys have been roaming around for a few days in your new gear, maybe your character has some comments on its functionality?

Story is epic so far, keep it up guys. And any of you that haven't posted yet, don't be afraid, jump in and let me or you SL know if you need help finding your way in the story.

Give em' hell Wildcard.

I have a suggestion.. or whatever ya wanna call it.

When people post, and it's taking over a room, or a point in the fight. Can  you let others join in and not rush it?  It's not suppose to be easy as 1,2,3.

One thing to be clear to all of you, Sam's team was heading for the Drop site, which we all are upwards of 25k's away from. So none of you should interact with Sam or his NPC's until we return to the Drop Zone, which should not happen for a bit.

The objectives I posted in the update you guys have until Friday to complete. So I know that Khal has spiced things up on the BJ/Wraith side of the fight, and I spoke to Madman and he had some ideas so lets keep this going.

Again, great work so far. Remember to coordinate in #wildcard.

If anyone from Black Jack or Wraith is writing, hold off on Ae, just have her trapped behind or under debris or something.
