Ouch...

But it's a good point

Okay guys! Get the dust off of your gear and get ready to get back into some action! If I don't have the new story up before I leave for work, it will be completed tonight and posted sometime tomorrow. That way it doesn't start in the middle of a work week for us~

:3

gonna post tmrz morning

I am in the process of posting. So speak now or forever blah blah...

FYI, I have a M-590 Assault Rifle with custom masterkey and 2 M3 revolvers, all are slugthrowers. No i did not anticipate an EMP attack.

Alrighty, went back and checked and you're good :3

Not that I didn't believe you, I just wanted to make sure~ :3

Thanks for the post Karash!

Also, when it comes to the 'dead' weapons they can't really be 'fixed'. The EMP was super charged so they are TOTES dead now. As in... they. Can't. Be. Fixed. :3

All we can really do with them now is take them apart and scrounge for parts we may be able to use for make-shit stabby weapons and the like. Be creative with this~ I did the super charged EMP to open the doors to creativity that you all may not have had to write before~

:3

Why am I one of the top two? At best I am one of the bottom three

Agreed. And of course I keep my assault rifle :P

Wow guys! Thanks for the posting activity! :3

There are a few things that I should point out, though~ We do have the rations to last us until the transport comes to pick us back up. Which is in five days. We were always scheduled to spend a week on Randa, and the transport was always scheduled to come and nab us back off the planet during noon-time of the seventh day. So we have the rations to keep us going until then :3

Also, with the EMP, while normally some sort of... insulation may work in certain electronics and technologies, in this story they won't. It was a 'super charged' EMP. Meaning it was much more powerful than normal. Mkay?

Alrighty~ If anyone else wants to post before I take the mantle, just keeps us in the cave for right now. I'm going from Dusk's post and saying that it's now getting towards... erm, dusk. Meaning it's going to be dark soon.

As far as our enemy for this story arc goes, I will have a good bit of information about them posted up at some point later today. Hopefully. That way you guys can start taking the wheel when it comes to the enemy NPCs

I am going on leave for the comming week because I will be without a computer.

Reports day! Since the new story is up a suspect Jaenna will want them in!

BTW, the nickname to send to the report is StarFruit, just so you know

RAIDERS Report:
Week of April 5th to April 12th

News and shit
This is where you will get your weekly dose of major news. Read this bit if you want to know what's going on.

Apologies

So I know it's been quite a while since I've posted an official weekly report. That means, that there is going to be a LOT of info in this. Hopefully... I'm quite sick right now so getting my thoughts together in a coherent manner may be a little difficult, so if any questions arise after reading this report then please do not hesitate to message me and ask. I won't bite. I may just dribble snot all over you. ...May vomit on your shoes as well. WELL ANYWAYS. Continue reading. Uhm... duh.

The story

We finally have the new story up. I apologize for it taking so long for me to formulate but I had been busy with a lot of other things. Plus I figured the couple of weeks off would do you all some good. But we finally have it up and that's a good thing. We even have a few posts already! Whoo~! So, I really hope you guys have fun with this story and the arc that is inevitably going to come out of it. We may have a few 'in-between' stories in order to fill the gaps between the chapters in the arc itself, but no worries: sense will be made of it all.

As far as the plot for this story goes, the missions itself, which started as a simple 'scout and report' mission has turned into a 'survive' mission. As many of you have hopefully already read we have no communications, our weapons are dead (save for the slugthrowers and various knives we may have on us), our droids are useless and the multiple cybernetics in the squad are also dead or heavily damaged and the transport that is supposed to pick up isn't scheduled to do so for another four and a half days. PLEASE continue to utilize this plot device. It's extremely important to the feel of the missions. With this story having a very big 'we must survive' feel to it, having close to no weapons is very important in the plot. Not to mention it will give the RAIDERS a chance to grow closer as they attempt to figure out to survive without the technology they have grown so used to. As always, there is a lot of room for character development, especially with the particular information that we now lack most technology. But of course, don't overload your posts with it. :3

So I'm guess you all have a ton of questions about the enemy yeah? Well I was going to use this weekly report in order to spell it out for you guys, that way you can start throwing some encounters into the story. So continue reading as the information is below~

Tekcor - The Enemy

As a side note, Tekcor is based off of Team Rocket from the Pokemon manga series. Meaning they are not derpy. They are well put together, powerful and intelligent. Please do not make them seem retarded just for the nostalgia of Jessie, James and Meowth, as that group is NOT who Tekcor is based off of.

OOC:

Tekcor is an intelligent syndicate who specialize in Xenobiology and testing of the same kind. They have been on Randa for a few years now, though have been successful in remaining under the radar of any Vast Empire scouting group that has come through. They have made us of the underground Biology testing center that was once used by the Rebels who used Randa as a base of their own. They have also built and maintained well equipped and advanced technological centers within the mountains of Randa.

The group works on and experiments with all sorts of creatures. Their goal is to begin using creatures, in the place of men and women, as soldiers and armies. The way they are able to control these creatures is by breeding them in their labs and training and caring for them from the time they are born. With the stronger and more terrifying creatures, they may have to use a type of experimental 'mind control' that consists of a device implanted in the creatures' brain and fed commands through a linking chip in the Handlers' brain.

Multiple hidden labs and weapon caches can be found through the planet of Randa... if one is to look hard enough.

The group works in similar ways as a military, as they have ranks that establish experience and amount of control. Below is a general break down of those ranks and how many are currently residing on Randa (as they may have bases else where that are still unknown). Some of those who work for Tekcor are called 'Handlers', these individuals 'control' their own force of creatures. Their rank determines how powerful said creatures are.

The ranks are as follows:

Boss
- Self explanitory

Administrator
- There are three admins
- Each Admin has a team of three Executives
- May be a Handler is they so choose
- If not they are simply a commander

Executive/Handler
- There are nine Execs
- Each Exec has their own SMALL force of larger creatures.
- Each Exec commands a 'squad' of four Elite Agents

Elite/Handler
- There are 36 Elite Agents
- Each Elite is considered a Handler and has varying forces or creatures
- Each Elite Agent commands a 'squad' of Class A Agents, Class B Agents and Grunts.
-Each Squad Consists of one Class A, two Class Bs and UP TO 20 Grunts

Class A Agent/Handler
- The 'Squad Leader' type

Class B Agent/Handler
- The 'Assistant Leader' Type

Grunt/Handler
- ...Self explanitory.
- The lowest
- Still in training
- Commands only up to two or three small creatures.


A few figure heads:

The Boss - Vanni Tryumfant ~ This woman, a human in her mid forties yet still young of mind and with a valiant heart, has run the Tekcor syndicate for two decades. It came into her hands when her father felt that he couldn't handle it any longer. She rules with an iron fist, cold sarcasm and a rather terrifying sense of humor. She also rides a rancor named Rocket.

First Administrator - Ianto Johnnes ~ This young man, of only about 26 years, has climbed the ranks of Tekcor since he was a pre-pubescent tween. He has taken the mantle of Vanni's right-hand-man and has great pride over this fact.

Second Administrator - Gweneth Kuper ~ Another young woman, around the same age as Ianto. She is Vanni's neice and has been by her side since she was a child. Gwen has great promise and show little to no restraint when it comes to taken out enemies of Tekcor.

Third Administrator - Jakaraiya Harkness ~ The oldest and most knowledgeable of the three Administrators. He is only behind Vanni by a few years and is almost of the same skill level. He is quiet, hardened by his years in the syndicate and very serious. It is speculated he has a relationship with the younger Ianto Johnnes.

No, I have not spelled everything out for you. Why? Because I want you all to be creative with this, too. Shit, create a wiki for Tekcor, add I have here, expand on it. Tekcor is going to be around for a while and I want the RAIDERS to have fun with them.

If you decide to throw some enemies at us in the story, please pay attention to ranks, go look at a list of Star Wars creatures, and keep in mind that we don't want to go TOO overboard. If you have a question... ask me. Don't be afraid to do so. Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pay CLOSE attention to the information I have given you. :|
