All right kids, we need new sigs, and until Aeos gets around to that, I have one that'll do until that time:

We'll be needing a webpage and a banner; you guys can handle that, and I'll pay whoever does it 100,000 ICs.

This is the new BlackJack gentlemen. Let's move.

Hey all! I really apologize for not being on, Sorry. Oh and by the way yay for Blackjack!

Ya that is an up, we actually get to cause things physical pain rather than sneaking around and screwing with shit.

So since DD was pretty dead, they moved us to the second company to revitalize us?

Ok I made it large, and seriously Tanus you aren't gonna give us the heads up on the mission. Could you atleast give us the general idea?

You changed Platoons, not companies

Nope.  This was more of a move to even out the platoons (and give Rogue a lighter load and me a heavier one ).  The reason for a different name is because of tradition essentially.  It just didn't feel right to take DD out of Wildcard Platoon.  If you'd been around long enough, it probably should make sense.

---

Anyways, probably should introduce myself, Riqimo, better know as Doc 'round these parts.  I'll be your Platoon Commander now, your lifesaver in the middle of the Storm if you will, Wildcard is just that soggy deck of cards in your pocket that isn't going to be much use besides tender when they dry out (which may be never considering they have Snipes and Rogueboy, those deviously drunken drinking devils).  And if I'm not around, Aeos, my Platoon Adjunct (whom some of you recent academy grads may know) should be able to toss you a rope if you start to drift off.

IRCwise, feel free to pop by my office if you ever need anything the doors are usually open, #[Insert-Name]'s_Office (And yes, it's hard to type on purpose).  Or just the much easier to join #Storm, which is the Platoon channel.  If you cannot connect to IRC, toss me a Comnet PM and I'll see about trying to get you a hand with that.  It can be a devil to set up if you aren't familiar with all the words, buttons, and whatnot.

Other than that... I think we're set.  Tanus is writing the intro post to the story, should be up today I'd imagine.  Already ran the plot and stuff by me and should be fun.

Oh, Squad Equipment, just roll over to the roster... eh, I'll link ya directly...

Some stuff isn't actually in the store... YET, that would be:
x9 Merr-Sonn taser staves
x9 R-88 Suppressor riot rifle
x1 Starcat grenade launcher (well, that's in the store, just can't buy it since I lack a 'division' account.

Oh, and as you can take from the post here, I am insane, clinically at the least.  Although I strongly suspect I am past that, I just don't declare it, since I hate the jackets you have to wear, extremely uncomfortable and just too restrictive.

Any questions, comments, or IRC help, gimme a shout out.

Ok, boss.

Posting.

And thanks for clearing that up, Doc.

A note I should make clear: NO PERSONAL GEAR!

Ask me if you can use it next time; squad gear only.

Quote:Now, the dignitaries will be there for about one week more, and we need to keep them alive until this thing evens out, so we’ll be taking our squad standard only; I don’t need any cowboys on this mission.

So I, Myself & everbody else is Clear (disregard D6 states for the story):

Capsule:  The Strikebreaker sports an impressive array of weapons and it is a serious menace to anybody wanting to hurt the Corporate Sector Authority. This vehicle has two objectives: to frighten rioters off and if failing that, to kill them off. While the CSA is reluctant to use these vehicles, when they are called out Espos are told to use whatever means are necessary to restore order. The Strikebreaker is a sealed vehicle and is more readily adaptable to exotic environments than other Espo vehicles. Also it carries troops into combat. The medium laser cannons deal with vehicles, the rear retractable mounted heavy repeating blasters are mounted on retractable turret platforms; when elevated, they have a full field of fire and are controlled from an internal gunnery module in the rear of the Strikebreaker. The Grenade Mortar is controlled from within the forward command cabin. One of the most effective, but experimental weapons on this vehicle is the Stun Barricade. When a full scale riot is in progress, the Stun Barricade telescopes outwards to ram and burst through any physical obstruction. For riot control duty, the Strikebreaker can charge its Stun Barricade with stun energy to repel troublemakers.

I'll take up the tab instead, and raise it to a million for each.

/me Folds
Wow.  Damn sw33t, Dante!  You win!
/me salutes & drops dead....

Rightio,
TX, I slapped some text on that image of you'rs




I'm still trying to work with the banner,  With you're squad being called blackjack it will be difficult to design something for the banner without making it cliche or unorginal. So, heh excuse my inner-design persona  keeping me from slapping a pack of cards together,

My own honest opinion is, that while the card thingie  is cool visually, it will easily overkill the general concept of the visual Blackjack Squad.

Try #2...

SW33+!! 

Aeos, I just love what you did with the hoverscout!  I must admit I'm torn between the sweet ride & Dante's 1st banner.  I'll try making something this weekend.

Dante, if you take the 1st banner image sans-text, can you add tansparent text, like a prismatic?

Step-up people, the little guy can be quite serious, and I'm keen to see some action from the Platoon, let's make team-work on it, kay?
