Mechani Alliance: Onto the Offensive

[Harmless]

All: You enter the briefing room, a small circular table with a flat map projector of what seems to be the Auchmor capital.

"Here's the Auchmor capital." Harmless says as he points to the grand and well defended building on the projection. "Defending the capital are two lines of Bunkers, stone and sandbunkers to be exact. No, they do not have roofing, but it's not a problem due to the heavy flak around the capital. So expect no aircraft for your first mission. We need you to defend the Auchmor capital from an infantry blitzkrieg coming in from the South, approximately 7 O'Clock."

Harmless does a few typing and brings up some of the Infantry visuals.

"These are just standard cannon fodder. They should be valuable experience for you guys, since you're all just privates anyway. Two other privates will be accompanying you as well, and you'll be backed up by Machine Gunners stationed in the bunkers. As for the fodder themselves, they are only armed with light infantry armor, maybe some shields, and rifles/smg's. I never really got the point of cannon fodder though... seems like a waste of good men if you ask me. But ah well, now's not the time for deliberation. We have a task at hand, and you're para-dropping now. Outside the room General Cadmium should lead you to the Harmless Space Transport, battlecruisers capable of transporting and para-dropping units below atmosphere. Now get going, boys. I got some patronizing to do."

Harmless leaves the room and goes back to the control panel in the HUB.

[Megar]

Streak begins walking to the exit, in some thought. "I'm not sure how helpful I might be here... I suppose I'll just be on support."

[Bomberman101]

Kevin keeps quiet and does as he's told. He doesn't really open up to strangers so easily, but he's ready for anything that'll get thrown at him on the coming mission.

[Harmless]

I'll lightly assume you all exit the room anyways, not much else to do.

All: You exit the room and find General Cadmium right beside the door on the other side. "Follow me." He says, as you follow him to the docking bays of The Orthodox.

You and several other men enter the HSB and get comfy in the bays of the ship. Eventually it takes off, and after a few minutes a female officer walks into your vicinity.

"Here's some standardized equipment for your first mission. This is the Mechani Standardized Armor, a full-bodied suit with a titanium-plasma alloy that should protect you from all sorts of attacks. Helmet included."

As she gives you all your armor, she then goes on to explain the RCD, or Radio Communications Device.

"The RCD is a device implanted in the helmet for easy communications across the battlefield, or communicating with Harmless or another officer. Do beware, this is the newest prototype, and it is possible for communications to be interrupted by jamming signals or enemy radio interference. However, since you're helmet is so durable I don't think it can get damaged, unless severely pierced by a bullet. Speaking of which... your visor can display information, such as radar, the time, objectives, information, etc. Essentially utilities you can bring up if you're stuck on what to do. But avoid bringing them up during combat, they can be a distraction. Speaking of mission objectives, here they are."

She hands you all a file explaining the mission objectives...

Mission 1: First Contact

♫

Primary Objectives:

1. Defend the Auchmor Capital from three waves of Infantry.

Secondary Objectives:

None.

Teammates:

- Will
- Rendenvaus

---

The two privates accompanying you introduce themselves, the average-sized man speaking first. "Name's Will. Harmless assigned me squad captain for this mission. The guy next to me is Rendenvaus." He says as he points to a rather buff man with a shotgun on his back. The female officer leaves, letting you five talk.

[Megar]

"It's a pleasure. I am Daniel Ashton, but I prefer to be called by 'Streak'." Streak speaks having quickly put on the armour.

[Bomberman101]

Kevin puts on the armor and turns to Will,"So you'll be giving us orders during the mission right?" Noticing that's the first thing he's said today.

[NanTheDark]

Nan wears the armor. He moves his limbs around a little to make sure he can move well with it. It seems to work ok.

"How much are we going to get paid for this?"

[Harmless]

Steak Streak: Rendenvaus actually speaks. "Alright then, Streak. Pleasure to meet ya. We would normally have two other privates coming in but they're occupied with a counterattack of sorts to the west."

Kevin: "Just for tactics and such." Will says. "Some of them may be loose, unless if it's a dire situation. Which should never come up if we do it right."

Nan: Will seemed puzzled by the thought. "I never really thought about these kinds of things. I just focus on the battlefield. But after every mission there should be some sort of payment for extra gear and such. I don't remember how it goes, however, this is only like my... hmm. 5th mission?"

A speaker in the room suddenly goes off; "30 seconds! All units, prepare to drop!"

Will: "You heard the man. Let's get going!"

Rendenvaus: "Time to kick some ♥♥♥."

All of you head into the paradropping zone... as the ship sank into the atmosphere, some of you take a glance outside... quite a nice place. It's green, and seems pretty lively. The Mechani do know how to manage the environment and resources...

Driver: "10 seconds! You all better be at the dropping zone!"

Officer: "Now's the time to paradrop. You're familiar with this, right?"

Everybody but Nan seemed familiar with it.

Officer: "Good. I'm not paradropping myself, but-"

"5 SECONDS!"

Officer: "Good luck!"

♫

"3..."

You all ready your parachutes... except for Nan.

"2..."

The hatch opens, with the blue sky surrounding you all...

"1... GO!"

All of you jump... until Nan realizes he has no parachute! While the rest of you open your chutes at the appropriate level, Nan falls to his doom...

Nan has died...









































All of a sudden, Nan was brought to a spectator screen with the above words, "Respawn in three turns."

Harmless contacts you all on RCD. "Whoops! I should mention deaths really quickly... you see, while we do have ressurection technology, it is expensive at the time being until we can research more effective methods. So as a result, it is of most importance that you do not die, for it takes some time. Anyway, since I accidentally may or may not have killed Nan, I'll give him a free revive. But now's a good time to learn, eh?"

Nan teleports back in with the squad as they land in the Auchmor capital. As he teleports he notices a familiar corpse right next to him and a 5 foot hole in the ground. Hmm, weird. Oh well, enough of that.

(Also, if you haven't guessed by now, Will focuses on Willpower, and Rendenvaus focuses on Strength and Health. I may add NPC bios later.)

[Megar]

Streak nudges Nan with a light chuckle. "Well, although you might have forgotten the basics of diving out of a plane, you at least got us a lesson on revival, so thanks for that."

[NanTheDark]

Nan adamantly advances, at the front of the team.

"Keep going like that and you'll end up in that hole".
