Hoff - December 12, 3023

Pegasus-411 had arrived at the classifed base, more or less, on time as ordered.  The battered scarred surface and patchwork job of plating was showing the wear and tear the current tour of duty was taking on the spunky hovercraft.

Captain (?) Garabaldo had inherited the command of the 2nd Recon company when the previous commander was killed in action.  Shrapnel from a Combine Centurion hard ripped through his body leaving Garabaldo the duty of leading what was left of the company to withdraw in some semblance of good order.

The 2nd Recon company had arrived in force, or at least what was left of them.  Not even half a dozen tanks remained.  The bases personnel and as much information was being cleared out as quickly as possible.  Pegasus-411 was being quick rigged to handle new equipment.

It was an 'honor' that Tony thought they could do with out.  New electronics was being installed on his tank.  To make matter worse, a third of his missiles were disappearing to make space for it.

(* Tony has free time at this point as his tank is being overhauled by the base techs.  As a commander it's his perogative how he wants to spend it. *)




Crispin was on hand and observed the installation with get interest with enough questions to fill a datapad.  The equipment was nothing short of amazing.  The previous equipment was good, this stuff was cutting edge and he hadnt seen it's like since before the star league army's exodus for parts unknown.

The gear was still works in progress and nothing pretty to look at but the results from the test they were running with him was astounding.

(* Crispin is currently in 411 and being shown the workings of the new gear by a technician named Albert *)




Pegasus 411 may not have looked like much but she ran well and Gregory was a big part of the reason.  Not only was he an able driver, but a knowledgeable mechanic.  It didnt sit right with him that technicians were tearing out bits and pieces of his baby and installing 'stuff' on his tank.

Dammit all if something was going to be broken, he was going to have someones hide over this.

(* Gregory is currently watching half a dozen technicans tear up his tank and install 'stuff' on it that he's never seen.  It's heartbreaking for him. but he's been ordered to let it happen. *)




This is the start of the roleplaying thread.  We may be a player short which i'm fine with.  It'll leave room for a Davion Liason Officer if that's so.

Re: Hoff - December 12, 3023

Tony watched what was going on, and asked enough questions to get the gist of it.

What he got:
The Active Electronic Warfare Probe is a powerful electronics sensor suite enhancement capable of detecting and identifying even shut-down or camouflaged units—excepting conventional infantry—at distances much greater and with more reliability than the standard-issue battlefield sensor suites used by most combat units today. Blah blah, have McAlister push some buttons.
The Electronic Counter Measures suite is a broad-spectrum jamming and electronic countermeasure system powerful and smart enough to scramble all hostile electronics within a spherical “bubble” roughly 180 meters across. The Guardian could even adapt to and scatter contemporary EW packages like the Beagle Active Probe, Narc Missile Beacon and Artemis IV—all while simultaneously keeping friendly channels and targeting enhancers clear. Blah blah, someone pushes more buttons.
Both systems made it so they could shoot the bad guys, and the bad guys had trouble shooting back.

"I sure as hell hope these things are worth it, I'd rather have the missiles."

(OOC: Not really, just IC. These things are the cat's meow and I put them in a lot of my mechs if I can.)
