"Oh... Wait a second there boy! That's the wrong equipment, hmm. Let me see this list, it appears I have mixed up your requisition with someone else. So then, what was your name again? Lowell, okay. Now what's your specialization? I'll need to know to get you the right gear? So what'll it be?"

The quartermaster awaits your response.

>So what type of specialist will you be /tg/?

Communications and Network specialist

Long range sniper

Spartan Escort and Assistance.

DEMOLITIONS BRO

Non fire arm close combat specialist. I request two katanas and a dozen neo steel shurikens.

>>12548605

Best be trollin son

>>12548246

LMG gunner

combat engineer

>>12548561
This, lets be the squad voxman

>>12548561

seconded, however, whenever not receiving orders, must transmit "Bad Romance" by lady gaga on all channels, including enemy frequencies

>>12548246
Pillar of Autumn was a Halcyon-class Cruiser, not a frigate. Forward Unto Dawn, In Amber Clad, were frigates.

>>12548582
This.

rolled 6808 = 6808

>>12548446

Marksman?

Marksman. Lets be marnksmen! :D

I vote for us to man the comms.

Demos is overdone.

>>12548561
Thirding Comms Specialist, working with electronic warfare packages.

it's 2553, not 2253.

>>12548446

Human Alien "relations"

Lets tap us some Elite ass

>pic related

>>12548561
Alright well you could be a comms man, but that's not usually how ODST units operate. You are given a mission brief, get dropped and complete the mission. Not much contact with command until after mission is complete and then you leave.So Comms man is not very viable, Demo or Sharpshooter is more common.

>>12548731
Sorry about that. I just read that it was Halcyon and just didn't write that correct.

OK OP, i vote communications, now lets get this on the road.

>>12548819
>usually

Cmon OP, we want to be the comm man, just play it like a trooper, cept we call in the airstrikes.

Generalist. If we've made Gunny, we've done it all. Jack of all trades, master of none, better than a master at some.

>>12548785
Very sorry for typos and all with that kind of stuff. I am running this from a 3.5 session. Very sorry for discrepancies.

>>12548246

Then lets go with another anons suggestion of electronic warfare operative. with Comm like responsibilities as well.

I just want this to happen...
>>12548723

>>12548838
Good point here, too. With our rank, we would be the guy talking to higher when available and calling in fire support.

>>12548723
The new face of Psychological warfare

Would it satisfy you all to have a Generalist, with a sub-specialty as a Comms man? That way we have combat orientation and the Comms you all want? Well enough?

>>12548890
>>12548723
>>12548723
I dont care if they're brutes, NO ONE deserves that.

>>12548896

Yes, let's get this show on the road!

>>12548896
Sounds good to me. But I was a generalist with magical radio powers for a while. What say you, Anonymous?

>>12548951
i like it

"Ah I see, I see, well then... Ah there it is! I found your orders right here. It seems your requisition was changed so your papers got mixed up. So your a comms man then, be calling down the hammer on them covies? Good man. Well here's your gear, should get it squared away ASAP."

The Quartermaster hands over a large footlocker with your new gear in it. And gives a short salute. What do you do?

what will our weapons be?
BR? If we get a pistol,m6D or bust.

Get to know our squad, i guess

>>12548978
not sure about military protocal here but we thank him for the gear and salute if its appropriate
also we should go meet our new squad.

>>12548978
Attempt to get him to requisition you some better gear. Somehow.

ask for a Sweet Williams'

OP you givin' up so soon?

Fuck you OP. This could've been cool.

You quickly return the salute, pickup your trunk and leave the armory. You travel the halls down to your quarters. The room is setup with 6 beds, low on the floor, along the opposing wall. Only one of the beds does not have a trunk in front of it, the one farthest to the left. You take your gear to the open bed and place it down. You open your trunk and go through your equipment.

You have been issued a:
BR55 Battle Rifle
M6D Pistol
A MK. VIII Special Comms System
ODST Battle Armor w/ additional power supply for Comms
Combat Knife
M7S Caseless Submachine Gun
Various Ammo, grenades, and general additional pieces.

As you are going through your gear you are approach by a female figure. She walk up to you and introduces herself, "Good to meet you I'm Adrianna. You must be new squad member. What was your name again? Roland, ah right? So what's..."

"Stop bugging the newbie Adry. Let him get settled before you go bugging him?" A man calls from across the room on the last bed to the right.

"Shut it Charles, I'm just trying to be friendly! Don't mind him. So what is your specialty?"

>>12549391
"Comms and e-warfare. If it's got a receiver I can jam it."

Well guys?

>>12549741
You might have taken too long, as it seems I'm the only person left.

>>12549741

FUCK THE HIPPOATMUS

>>12549468
This a hundred times, op
just get on with it

>>12549741
Come on, OP.
Let's go with >>12549468
Oh, and if you need time to write up something, just let us know you'll be gone for a bit.

>I will be posting slowly for a little bit. Sorry for the inconvenience people.

"A comms and electronic warfare? Interesting, not many of those in the 22nd, not many of those around at all. So you work with all them computers and A.I. then. Interesting. Well so long as you can still fight a real fight then I'm fine with that. Welcome to Bravo Squad. We should be having a planetary patrol some time soon. Maybe see some action. So where are you from?"

>>12549970
The devastated planet of Reach

>>12549970
Earth, from Reading in Lancaster County in the USA. Grew up with Amish neighbors.

>>12549970


"I'm from (wherever someone else suggests i dont really care), and you?"


(point is, ask where shes from next, so maybe pic can be related

e-warfare against Brutes and maybe the odd Jackal?

...FUCK YOU GUYS.

>>12550135
Fuck you right back.

"I'm from Earth."


Mainly just so we can't pull the emo batman "MY PLANET IS DDDEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD"

>>12550135

You wont be saying that when the E-warfare allows us to bug the fuck out when we have several loyalist armor and air assets on our tail.

Can we convince any of the brutes that we are living demigods? Since according to their religion we are? (doubt this.)

Also, what is our assignment? Just monitor the brutes before something goes wrong and we have to fight? Like, why are we even landing? Shouldn't we just observe from space and maybe try to fuck with their communications so they start infighting and forget about raiding humie colonies?

We specialize in e-warfare, right?

Hack into the enemy visuals relay and send them all Goatse.

They will likely destroy themselves shortly after.

>>12550135
In case it's not obvious, most of us are/were hoping for something other than a pen and paper version of Halo 3, which is why we're not trying for super tough badass heavy weapons guy or lone wolf badass marksman stereotypes and why I'm disappointed the OP decided to set a helljumper quest after or during the human/covenant war rather than during the insurgency, though that last part is just personal opinion, I'm sure something good can still come from this.

""Earth? Very nice, although in the past year it must be really fucked up. Covies did a number on her when they attacked. Hopefully she's been fixed up a little, some mighty beautiful places there. And from America no less, well then."

She looks off for a second wistfully. "Oh me? I'm from Ariel. Got attacked a while back during the War. But now its been running rather peacefully."

"As for why we are out here? Well the brutes may not seem like much of a threat, but they can be rather nasty given the chance. They still hate us from the War and they started to keep to themselves. However its come to attention that in recent months small brute fleets have been popping up and raiding colony worlds. So we're out here patrolling to keep them in check. As for our planetary patrols, well your guess is as good as mine. They tell us its too keep our presence known. But then why don't we just shoot off a few MACs in orbit and scare them a little. Honestly I have no idea why."

>>12550535
"Alright, and what about you, Charles?"
Also, as comms officer and electronic warfare specialist, do we get an AI to help us?

>>12550490
>This is still possibly viable. If humanity can easily contain the brutes, and elites are no threat and possibly friendly, whats to stop humans from going back to beating each other. At this point plot progression can still be open ended.

>>12550633

Didn't the Covenant (minus the Saghelli) still continue to exist after the events of Halo 3? I mean, sure, High Charity and the top three Prophets were destroyed, but the rest of the Covenant remained. In fact, wasn't it kind of hinted at that the war would continue?

>>12550742
Brutes still held top spot but the Prophets vanished, either died off or fled. Eventually the Brutes turned against each other (2559). Jackals went back to marauding, nothing about the others through. New Halo book coming out (Not the Forerunner trilogy) takes place post-war, should help clear some up.

>>12550742
Nope. The Sangheili basically shattered most of the Covenant. All that are left are small remnants, mostly brutes.

>>12550535
>Covies did a number on her when they attacked
glasses most major population centers and cut the human population in half (low estimates)
yeah i'd say they did a number on earth

>>12550742
nah shit hit the fan when the elites left, with all three of their leaders dead theres probably a huge ass power stuggle going on as well.

>>12550776

But isn't 2559 AFTER the time period that our game takes place?

>>12550893
No, it is 2553. I messed up the date because I allowed myself to get distracted and didn't proof it.

>>12550893

No, this is supposed to take place AFTER Halo 3. The first October after the Covenant-Human War, to be precise. The OP just had a mind fart and put the wrong year.

>>12550915
So OP, about that info-warfare AI for our electronic warfare specialist...

if were E-warfare we should get an AI, ODST suits are capable of holding at least a "dumb" AI it was in one of the books possibly "the flood" or "first strike"

>>12550941
>>12550939
That is relatively reasonable. I think I should come back tomorrow, when I am more put together, and not distracted. That sound better to you guys?

>>12550961
Give us a time before you go.

>>12548246
For tomorrow I will be online from about 7ish-11ish EST. This may vary from day to day, but it should be the same all around. And I will make sure to inform on when times will change.
