"Zephram, initial target revision: nine yards high, five yards wide, fifteen long.  Heavily armoured, highly dangerous."

Intermittant bursts of static errupt from the comm systems for a short while before settling down to a dull roar of interference making it very difficult to hear any clear transmissions.

"I'm going to stay below the radar. Anyone with radar give me a heads up if you can detect any incoming air traffic before I can see it. Likewise of anyone with psychic precognition."


OOC -- I just like being able to use the radio as communication between platoons. So I am an advocate of this thread's re-opening.

"We have a large number of dead bodies up ahead, don't see anything to indicate the battle was recent. Believe they were on our side, should I go down and check for survivors?"

~“Pluto two, this is Pluto Six, send a scout to investigate. Pluto One, and Three set up hasty defensive positions.”~

OOC: Here is a quick run down of what the above call signs mean.

Pluto One: 1st Platoon Commander
Pluto Two: 2nd Platoon Commander
Pluto Three: 3rd Platoon Commander
Pluto Four: 4th Platoon Commander
Pluto Five: Pluto Company XO (the GM has told me this is 4th Platoon commander)
Pluto Six: Pluto Company Commander Officer

"I'm gonna request permission to survey the perimeter from the air -- in case there's nearby hostiles. Cool?"

He then adds: "This is Van; from Pluto Three, I guess."

Responding over the radio - "Pluto Company Halt! Our scout has located the aftermath of a battle - we are checking for survivors - and then we will move around it. Lt. Dyvalis - make a transmission back to HQ - let them know they have a graveyard about ten miles east".

Razgriz, the strong silent type(well, silent if not strong), pipes up suddenly on the 2nd Platoon Radio. His voice holding a reptillian tinge of hissing 'S', "Are those Tolkeen or Coalition bodies?"

"Tolkeen I believe. Over"

"That is a negative on burial. If there are any Coalition survivors then by all means capture one or two for interrogation and kill the rest. Make sure the area is secure and then prepare to move out. "

"The area is secured. There were a few dozen scavengers of some kind feasting on the corpses. Whatever Coalition forces were in the area have moved on - there are no bodies, nothing. I am moving around them Lieutenant."

"Welcome to Madtown Major. I am here with the mayor, and sherrif. They have assured me there are several buildings to work with for our preperations - and they are currently in the midst of organizing the willing town militia. As soon as you enter the town you should see me."

~“Copy that, on the way. Pluto company set up hasty fighting postions for the momnet.”~

"lieutenant Portia? This is Ramenhotep. I would like to request a meeting at your earliest convenience please."

"I happen to be free for the next thirty minutes or so Sir Sphinx so visit me at your convenience. Firefly squad you guys are supposed to be handy so do me a favor before joining the others. Make sure this town has a gallows complete with a noose. If it does not you have exactly... twenty-nine minutes to build me a decent approximation of one. The rest of you heard the Major. Reconnoiter in force and get a feel for the town you will be defending with your lives. Unless of course you have something to say or turn in to me first.  Lt. Lynn out."

"To avoid stepping on each other's feet, each platoon should set up at a different part of town. 1st platoon at the northeast corner, 2nd to the southwest, and 3rd to the southeast. HQ squad set up in the church. Unless there's any objections."

"An excellent idea young lieutenant. But perhaps you should count the number of platoons in the company again. But working with you r idea - 4th platoon can cover the northwest corner."

"Photios Dimitrios Erasmus, First Platoon; requesting permission and location to set up the second half of a Circle of Travel linked to Tolkeen."

~Go ahead Photios."~

~“I want all officers to meet me at the town hall.”~

"Firefly squad you know have twenty-minutes to have that gallows ready."

It is there that you are incorrect Nilus. The Firefly Squad does whatever it is that I tell them to do. You have 19 minutes to figure it out or you will all find out the hard way what one is. Lynn out."

"I disagree LIEUTENANT. We were hired as demolition experts - and back up combatants if necessary. We can try to accomodate other requests - but I stated we don't know what you are talking about. So either find someone else - or come out here and make your threat again."

Nilus mocks the word lieutenant as he says it - no real reason just a schoolyard way of mocking the title. He is very good with english for a goblin...
