You should just stop asking that and start with the inventory and starting post dumps.

OF COURSE WE'RE INTERESTED, YOU JUST CHOOSE BAD TIMES AND IT TAKES A WHILE FOR PLAYERS TO ASSEMBLE!
Goddamn, ECW, I appreciate how you run the game for us and all, but we've already told you this multiple times by now.

Why the hell not?

Go ECW!

Now get Jacob to identify the caliber of those bullet casings and have everyone draw their tranq pistols.
The tranqs don't have the threat of a real gun, but with the doses meant to put down raptors, they're just as deadly as any Magnum.

You had just found a few shiny things laying on the ground near the restrooms.

>>16477080
Yeah, it's been said before. Most recent I recall is when you started, no one was around at the time, and then players resurrected the thread a few hours later.

Anyway, let's get those shiny things looked at!

>>16477078

Jacob takes a look at the casings.

"Looks like .45 caliber to me."

When we find this saboteur, I want him taken alive. We're going to tie him up, gag him, blindfold him, and then take him to the old hydroelectric plant. We're going to hang him from the rafters, and we're going to question him with a tire iron. No one else has to be in the room, if they want plausible deniability. We're going to use our toolbox to find out who hired them, what they were sent to do, and how many more of them are on the island.
We're going to use WD-40 and a lighter. We're going to use pliers. We're going to use a hammer.
Then, when it's all done, we're going to take a ride down to the raptor pen.

No one fucks with Frank Porter's men.

Just when I was asking myself where ECW was...
JURASSIC QUEST - FUCK YEAH !

So what's the plan now?

>>16477144
"Marines, we are leaving!"
I assume that Porter's seen the movie, and so has everyone else. I mean, it was a pretty popular movie, right?

Take the casings and store them in with the sample of gunk.
Get everyone in our Explorer, and we are going to the Infirmary to drop off our two concussed men.

>>16477209
Call on the general frequency. Say that every worker on this Island must be on guard from now on, because it seems that we got some intruders. All personel must travel in groups - don't let anyone alone. Ever.
Then calling dispatch, and tell them what we just found.

>>16477209
This seems to be our plan for now >>16477214
During the drive and dropoff, we'll probably tell all teams to check in via radio every 30 minutes.
And then we go and see Dispatch. He may not believe us about there being more saboteurs; who knows, maybe he's right and we're paranoid. But we kept our pistol locked down, and someone's been using a pistol. So someone besides us has a lethal weapon, which is a pretty serious security breach.

>>16477256
You manage to raise Maintenance Channel, but that's the best you can do. Your crews acknowledge your orders.

"*static* You sure it just wasn't a Security officer discharging his weapon?"

>>16477256
Well, we already told all of our guys to be on alert, when we transmitted over the Department channel that we found one of the teams knocked out.

>>16477280
You see a group of compys come out from the underbrush. They gather around the gunk on the jeep, then head over to the gunk on the ground. A couple of them stay to try and nibble on the unconscious workers, but most of them run off behind the building.

>>16477280
"Dispatch, one of my men is former US Army. He's identified the bullets as being .45 caliber. Can you confirm with Security that this could be from one of their weapons? I mean, if so, then I'll need to check around to make sure that the Security guy is ok, right?"

We need to know what weapons Security carries, and if it matches the bullets' caliber.

>>16477280
"Even if it was, two of my workers had been knocked and restrained into the restrooms. I highly doubt this to be the work of our security teams.
Beside - did our officers use 45cal ?"

>>16477299

"*static* Hold on Porter, I need to raise the Head of Security."

>>16477290
Shoo the compys away from the guys. I thought we had them loaded into the Explorer where it would be safe?
Put them in the truck, and close the doors and windows; that should protect them from compys. Then have Aidan and Jacob come with us and follow the compys behind the building; maybe there's another one of our guys back there.

>>16477290
Ho shi...
We put the unconscious workers in the explorer, out of reach of the compys, and follow the rest behind the restrooms.

You get the workers tucked into the explorer, then move to follow the compys.

You get to the back of the building in time to see them go into the underbrush behind the building.

Is posting down?

>>16477358
We take point with the flamethrower ready. Jacob and Aidan have their tranq pistols out and ready.

Go into the underbrush and follow the compys.

Also, is posting locking up every once in a while for anyone else?

>>16477405

Just had that problem.

You follow the compys into the underbrush, and nearly slip into a small ravine. They seem to be gathering around a small area up the ravine a little

>>16477405
>>16477401
Yeah, does the same to me. I don't know what's going on, those times.

>>16477401
Yeah, posting was down for a while there.
If things get quiet, assume that posting is down.

>>16477454
Alright, motion for the others to follow, and check out that ravine.

Also, note on our PDA: "Buy small tactical binoculars, military surplus"

>>16477454
Let's disperse the critters and see what they found.
(posting works again, it seems)

>>16477534
double this

You go over to the compys, they appear to be scratching at a large mound of dirt.

>>16477563
Drive the compys away, examine the dirt pile.
have Aidan keep the compys away with his stun prod.

>>16477613

It's a pile of dirt, with a boot sticking out of it.

>>16477626
Do we have a shovel in our truck? If so go back and get, then start digging away at this mound. See what's been buried. Use our hands if we have to.

>>16477626
"Well... that's one big pile of shit... ho, wait."

Does this means that we have another big problem with many teeths, walking freely around ? Feels bad, guys...

>>16477636

You don't have a shuttle, but the Jeep does. You grab it and come back to start digging.

You find two bodies, the other two members of the maintenance crew.

>>16477690
"Now, we got a problem."
Searching them for the cause of death. Gun wounds, I guess ?

If No : calling dispatch
If Yes : FUCKING CALLING DISPATCH

>>16477690

Leave them for the compys to fight over, get back in the truck.

Quickly.

>>16477707
>>16477712

Which one? I will be grabbing dinner. Be back later.

Also, the quest will be stopping around 7:30.

>>16477690
"Jacob, Aidan, cover me."
Check for gunshot wounds.
"Dispatch, this is Porter. We've got a problem. I found the other two members of the missing maintenance team. Someone killed them and tried to bury the bodies."
If they were shot, report that too.
"Dispatch, I'm still thinking it's Biosyn. They were willing to bring the fences down and let the raptors eat us all; I don't think they'd be above shooting some of my men who saw something they shouldn't."

>>16477744
A quick look can't hurt... though it's pretty clear they were murdered. Either way definitely worth calling in.

You search them, two holes in the chest of one, 1 in the head of the other.

There are no ID cards on them, and no weapons.

"*static* Ugh, if it isn't one thing killing them, it's another. Give me their names, I'll get them out of our records. And your thoughts on this are noted."

>>16477894
"Make note dispatch that the men have their identification missing, infiltration is highly possible. Suggest that you put out a stop on *insert their names here (What do you mean we don't know everyone's name?)* 's IDs, and have security on the lookout for anyone using them."

>>16477894

Do we recognize them? If so pass their names along.

"Their IDs are gone, Dispatch. Our saboteur can get backstage."

>>16477905

Would it be possible to learn all 60 of the men's names?

>>16477924
>>16477905

"*static*What's more likely is that Security had to take them down for some reason and took their IDs. I'll check the Security channel to see what happened. Oh, and Security's guns use 9mm ammunition."

And I'm off for the night, folks. Thanks for playing. I should be able to run the game Monday at 4 PM.

Oh yeah, guys, don't forget to vote. Some ass is downvoting us.
