"I'd advise not puting me anywhere near the front. I love blowing z*explative* up, but I don't want my splah to blow up our only ride..."

"Everyone load up, all aboard! Let's get this nuke where it needs to go then get out of this bug hole."

"Gentlemen, let's get us some"

Uhm.. Guys? I've never seen one before..

"Sköll squad, Lock and load!"

". . ." Steps onto trailer with the squad.

>>13042449

>Lost, your squadmate and fellow knight approaches you. Currently helmet-less her bright blond hair and blue eyes set off a pretty face, made all the more so as she smiles at you. Like most knights, she stands at 6 feet. Instead of a standard issue sword, she carries a sonic lance, a rare and much desired weapon among knights.

"Hello, squadmate! As far as fighting xenos, which I'm afraid this will be, try to avoid getting overwhelmed. Hold chockpoints and group with other knights or melee-effect vehicles. Make sure to stay between the bugs and our teammates. Ghost might think with all that armor he stands a chance, but he couldn't run to save his life."

>Lost smiles to show that it's in good humor.

"About Fucking time!"

>>13042645
"So long as you two cover each other and Doc keeps ya in good health you have nothing to worry about."
>Dragon looks at his limited ammo supply
"Better make them count"

>Revisions.

Vidar - 3
Kari - 2a
Skoll - 2

>Lost boards the train, hesitation plain on her face before putting her faceplate on.

Time for Walker's famous drunken scribbles!

"Okay Bravo, here's what I want you to do. See the train engine? Fucking make sure nobody gets near it. So I want Hawkes and as many riflemen at that point ready to blast anyone heading for it. Blinky, take Vidar Squad and hold the junction near it. Your squad will hold the edges of the train."

"Snipers and Demo's on the second level. We'll stick the nuke there. Watch for fliers."

"Iron Vipers Platoon will take the southern half of the train. Heavy hitters - anti-armored and the vehicles - will be at the end, ready to fuck up anything that runs past."

"Predators, you have the most movement. You are on standby. Deploy to the right, but be prepared to fall back to the train."

>Alpha in 1st
>Krieg's Squad in 2nd

>>13042645
"Who needs running when we're riding upfront? Knights, ready your shields!"

>>13042639
*Glances at sword.*

"I'm not sure I'm suppose to load anything into a sword."

>>13042688
"Just stick my where I can kill some fuckers, sir. I trust your judgement"

(is deployment up to the major or LTs?)

>Dominique salutes-true to their namesake, Dom looks much like the protagonist of the popular TV show, with hair tied back in a bandanna, helmet tucked under one arm. Androgyny seems to be what colors Dom most of all-it's difficult to tell gender by looking at them. A brief glance to the sonic lance shows envy, and admiration.

It'll be nice to work with you, Lost. Call me Dom-and I understand. I'll take choke points, and try to defend as best I can.

>A brief salute, and a cheery smile.

Let's see if I can't find a halfway decent bug smasher out on the battlefield.

woot

>>13042708

"Just point to the spot, and I'll hold it till doomsday."

>>13042708
"Yes sir. If anything big comes for the train I'll blow it away"

>Prepared to TEAR. SHIT. UP.

>>13042506
how does one join the game?

>>13042723

First me, then the Lts, then you guys. Ghoul is AFK, so IV Squad leaders step up.

Ultimately, it will be YOU on the field, not me; so position yourself where you think you can do the most good.

>Is this what I'm piloting at the moment? Please confirm.

"Kari Squad, look sharp! Get ready to blast anything that shows its carapace anywhere nearby."

>>13042711

"Harhar. MOVE IT!"
Wolf points at the train.

>>13042688

"Aye sir. Vidar squad will make sure nothing touches that train engine. Just make sure nobody gets in the way of Betsy and Shot there. She doesn't much care about what she rolls over."

>Stabbin' mode activated. Let's do this.

>>13042784

>Yes

>>13042774
Pick a name, trip, and class, according to >>13041812

Then join a squad and hopefully you will be deployed.

>>13042796

*Salutes jauntily with sword, before taking very paranoid glances left, right, and behind him.*

"Anyone seen that maidbot?"

Ready for level 2 duty, command

>>13042835

"Now that you say it. No, I haven't."
He looks around.
"R00, REPORT TO SUPERIOR, STAT!"

>>13042835

"She was following Wolf around last time I saw her. Not sure he knew she was there though."

>>13042780
"Roger sir, if it works with what my chain of command has thought up, I'll take up a position on the elevated area of the second car

>>13042833

Do i go ahead and color it and shit?

"Y*censored* me! Does anyone know how to z*censored*ing wake anyone in this g*censored*ing mess of a p*censored*ing q*censored*?"

>>13042892
If you want.

>>13042892

You don't have to. Just pick a name, class, and trip.

And for god's sake, noko.

I'm here! Throw me where you need me!

"Thinking to leave without me, you s*censored*ers? Think q*censored*ing again."

"Colton, o*censored*ing reporting for duty."

>>13042917

"Q*censored*ing command structure? OH D*censored*ING THANK GOD, I'm not in Ghoul's q*censored*ing z*censored* brigade. How the hell did a d*censored*ing i*censored* like you get promoted, anyway, Ghoul?"

> The Mining Rig may now start moving.

Set the speed, Bravo.

>>13042973

"One day Colton, your getting a sedative in your coffee"

>It was like driving towards the sun. She could feel it, massive compared the xeno guards on the tunnel, and it was coming closer. She tried to ignore it. In a way it was all too much like whizzing towards the sun, the heat building and knowing that you could not break from the path that sent you bursting into flames. She tried not to think about the dream, the nightmare that had occurred, made even more horrible by the confirmation of a queen. She was worried that their next confrontation would shatter her. If it had been the xenos reaching out to her in her dreams, or her to them, how much worse would it be when they met in person?

>>13042989

The throttle! it is stuck at full!

>>13042973

"Turns having a propensity for getting set on fire makes people like you."

"Vidar Squad! You heard our orders."

"We're to guard the front of the train. That means that NOTHING, and when I say nothing I mean nothing, gets in range to stop this train! Even if I have to get out and PUSH this Space Jesus be damned train all the way to the bug nest, we are not stopping for a-ny-thing!"

>>13043002
"But then he wouldn't be half as amusing and then we'd only have Ghoul setting himself on fire to amuse ourselves!"

>>13043010

>Setting train to "Reasonable" speed

>>13042989

"Half speed, then accelerate to full in two phases."

>>13043002

"And one day, Doc, you'll be glad I'm so h*censored* angry."

>>13042989
Bravo only has one speed: awesome. But since the train doesn't likely go that speed maximum fastness will have to do.

>>13042973
"Hey, k*explative* survive this one alright buddy? We're not up against pools this time and I expect to hear far more colorfull language from you"

A sudden spark of inspiration hit Walker. He knew. He suddenly knew what to write home about. And in the back of his mind, a letter began to form:

"Dear Sarah,
Today, my men rode a train..."

>>13043050

"I don't doubt you for a second Colton"

>Dom dons the standard-issue helmet, and begins trotting towards the front of the train. He returns a moment later before boarding, a grin on his face. On the front of the train, in bold red letters, the words "RAPE TRAIN" are painted. Where he got the paint is a mystery.

"Ready. Let's stomp some bugs."

>>13043076
"Nice rookie, not sure if command is going to promote you or send you on a solo mission for that one"

>>13043056

"Oh j*censored*, don't tell me they banned it comm-wide? Now all we have is this pre-war w*censored*ing shit."

>>13043026

"I'm right behind you, sir! I'll make sure nothing stops you."

>>13043026

>DISREGARD THAT, rewriting due to changed deployments

>Aberham goes from soldier to soldier, checking them of proper alignment.

"looking good Alpha"

>>13043103
"Well shit doc you're making me blush"

The clone soldier looks at the complement of his team. The doctor, with his medical droid. The sergeant in his power armor and his knight droid. Shot, in Betsy, formidabble in every way.

Then himself, with the dinky rifle.

"-fuck."

"H-hello? Are y-you guys still taking recruits?"

>>13043103
"Always, Abe. Always.

>>13043103
>Pops faceplate and gives Aberham a winning smile.

"Could you check that shunt again?"

>>13043116

"don't mention it."

Is it too late to join, sir?

Aberham, smiles slightly, uncertainly.

He glances at Lost's shoulder and sees everything in order.

but leans in slightly.

-off com-
"yes" he says, as if he's expecting a question

>>13043005

>Dominique, after returning, seems quite content-even mellow-as he waits for the train to begin moving. Seeing Lost's expression, he nods to her, tilting his helmet-covered head to one side. "Lost? You okay? You look a little troubled?"

>Side note. I'm using He because gender-neutral pronouns are tough, but I'm never ever going to confirm Dom's gender.

>>13043157

>Off-comm, whispers to Nomad.

"Aw p*censored*, why did they put us with the q*censored* doll from hell?"

"Wait, im in? great."

Kael then proceeds to make sure he didn't misplace anything. (like pins, they should be on grenades, right?)

>>13043166
Aw nuts I picked someone else's callsign too. ^.^;; If it's done and final I understand, have fun, I'll hop in next time.

>>13043157
>>13043174
"Kael and Baxter? Who the hell are these- aw, screw it! Kari Squad, we have incoming! Your orders are simple: Stay alive and KILL THEM ALL!"

>>13043195

If you are on the map, then you are in. If not, you are assigned to TA duty until I can deploy you.

In which case, I might assign an AFK player for you to bot until deployment.

"See all those bugs Vidar?"

"Well, we're moving pretty fast, so when all those bugs run to catch up with us, guess where they're going to be?"

Don't worry, I'm here with a bird's eye view so you can all come home today.

Baxter kneels down, using his new position to provide better stability for his launcher. As he looks down the "sights" of his shoulder cannon to get a better aim at the enemies, he calls out, "So, how much enemy contact are we expecting?"

Wolf made his way to a better position, sure that his squad would heed his order. The bugs ran down a 'hillside' as he aligned his rifle. The first shot goes wide as Wolf forgot the movement of the train. Havin adjusted the second shot met a bug headon.

Action Phase Over.

*bzzt* Understood sir!

You heard the man(?) people, let's teach these goddamn bugs to fear the sound of the Iron Vipers cocking their weapons!

Alpha Squad, watch eachother's backs and keep communications open. You're the spearhead. Ugly and Alpha, listen to your Sergeants, their word is the Voice of God.
Heavy weapons, when you're clearing a space out don't let your teammates waste their rounds into the gap. Let people know where you're laying down fire!
Priority is keeping them away from the train; keeping yourselves alive. In that order.

Medics, keep our boys in the land of the living. You're all that stands between a gun at your side and a bug climbing over a corpse.
Stay frosty Platoon.

Automatic fire ripped through the approaching bugs, lending light to the dim, speeding tunnel. The pressure was back in her head, faint but insistent. She could feel them lining up ahead, anticipating the violence to come, the blood and sweet, sweet flesh, the pain.

>Suddenly Lost whipped around as one of the faint knots of emotion she had come to know as her teammates winked out. It was like listening to a song when suddenly an instrument was plucked out.

Is there any way to know just what the Ag is capable of? I feel so damn slow without Overwatch, and I'm constantly afraid of running people over. Not to mention, I don't know if I can jump, attack without space, or attack without moving, and furthermore, I'm still uncertain whether upgrades work based on kills or drops or whatever the fuck.

Medic! Tank! Anybody who can slingshot me over! I'm heading south! I need an assist to jump the gap!

>As the steel and fire light up the white landscape, Dom ducks low, eyes squinted against the light and sound. Having never fought before, her palms sweat beneath the armor, her legs shake as she stumbles forward, running away from where she had just moments ago been set, tooth and nail to defend Ugly squad-only now to be used a living, steel rocket to be fired right at the enemy.

>What had she been thinking? That manic glee had passed, and now only fear and adrenaline kept her going, that driven instinct to survive. Survive. Fight. Having never fought in a battle like this before, she was nearly lost-but that instinct demanded she hold on.

>She forced a grin underneath her armor, and carried on.

Anyone? Am I still next to Warsaw, or did I get flung off course?

>>13047432
>Roll some dice for saves.

Walker looked at the holo screen of the battle. It became clear that, if any men fell from the train and survived, if their comrades couldn't reach them, they would be left behind.

"Heh, I guess Fierstrom was right in calling me a bleedin' heart. But I don't leave my men behind."

He tapped the console, reviewing the armor currently available. He smiled after scrolling down a bit.

"Command, this is Walker. Requesting four Striders to be inserted into the tunnel systems at our camp. I want them to follow behind us to retrieve personnel and any corpses worth picking up. Right. You can send some scientists and cages as well. Right. Walker, out."

After healing himself he finds himself reinvigorated and then attempts to fling a knight over, only after realizing there was a bug right next to him..

Enemy phase.

Insertion is afoot ! Gleaming at the other side of the train's docking cargo is a row of unoccupied bitanks

>>13047899

Sonic lances, and Charging Rooks were involved

Ag gets 4,
Blinky gets 2
Lost gets 1

R1 is dead

"Shot is driving an APC, no?"

"Conversely, we can just stop both trains."

Ghost watched as Lost was propelled across to the other train. For a second, it look like she wouldn't make it. Somehow she managed to land right on the edge, and Ghost breathed a sigh of relief that someone hadn't died under his command yet.

>lights up another cigarette, ignoring the allready lit one in his mouth
"Someone please just leave me one of those B-E-A-U-tiful Bitanks. Major, you or someone else if they'd like can take the modified armslave if I get a tank."

>>13047956
Guess it doesn't matter now, eh?

>9 kills -ultra sigh

>>13047899

>Ghost whizzed through the smoke from the devastating barrage that was coming down from the other side. And even though she could not see, she could feel them. The ash roaches were a meaning, sadistic heat, pulsating red orbs. Behind she could feel the tendrils killing up more husks that were operating the cannons below. Sorrow flitted across her mind, before determination filled it again. She cleared the smoke from their train and flew down into the enemies and allies barrage of fire. She would do her part to help her teammates.

"This is Lost, I have touched down."

>>13048012
>Breaths electronic equivalent to a sigh.

P2 is dead
