When we last left, Geronimo was on his way to Earth to "The Villa", and I learned I should always proof read no matter how tempting my bed looks.

>You are Sergeant Anthony Briggs

You have some free time while the Jakarta makes it's way back to Terra Nova to drop the company off.

/tg/ keeps rejecting a lot of my posts.

What would you like to do?

i guess we check our email first

>>19047790
maybe we can use the IRC for throwing ideas around and shooting the breeze as well

I've not looked through the archives, would you say they are essential to partaking in the quest? Its just annoying when I go through the whole thing, come back and find that I missed it.

>>19047944
I agree, we should work on that.

>>19047968

Actually this is mostly gonna be filler quest.
The main character as chosen was "Geronimo" Sergeant James Rennick.
As long as you're relatively familiar with the ME Universe you should be fine.
Briggs who we're playing as right now is our bro in arms.
I'll see about IRC so I can catch you up to speed

>>19047968
you can take your time to read them, this quest is still young enough that you don't have to read through over dozens of threads of a old/big quest like Metaquest or MSQ

>>19048030

I vote service history first.

>>19048044

Yeah, I think I'll read through them

>>19048044

I'm pretty good on votes, which is nice, I felt like a failure there for a while. But if you keep your head up and start investing it can pay off.

So do you wanna read some email or just put that off?

Hey Anthony,

I pulled that history you requested, you owe me a drink.
This guy really is that good, the footage you sent was incredible, how did this guy not get put in Grissom?

He's flown under the radar for the most part and his history before the service is a little sketchy being Earthborn on a reservation of all places but this is what I've been able to scrounge together.

>Joined Alliance at Age of 18.
>Biotic Boot-Camp once his potential was determined, fitted with L2 Implant. (Same as you and Harris, he must be one of the last.)
>Assigned to 2nd Fleet, 120th Company. Demonstrated advanced biotic abilities, Vanguard Specialization decided.
>Operation Deep Freeze, wiped out a squad of pirates when separated from unit. Awarded Bronze Star.
>Promoted to Corporal, high recommendations
>Transferred to 210 on Terra Nova

No note on the transfer, looks like a simple shuffle. Seems strange they'd misplace someone with such high potential. Maybe something off the record?
I'll keep digging and get back at you if I find anything.
Wish you'd taken the promotion. It gets lonely back here on Luna.

Regards,
William

>Newest message first

Anthony I don't want to get together and talk about it, who the even knows how long it would take for you to do so.
If you do still care about me sign the damn papers. I'm sick of dealing with it Anthony. You're married to the Alliance, not to me. I haven't seen you in 6 months, and when you do come home you're not interested in anything that's happened with me. Stop pretending you do, I know you don't want to hear it but you have to understand how I feel.
I'll give you some time to think about it, but please, get it back to me as soon as you can.
I just want it to be over for both of us ok?

Melissa, baby.
Please can't we talk about this?
You know I love you, but I'm needed out here, now more than ever. There aren't many like us, and that's why I can never get leave. Biotics simply aren't replaceable on the front lines.
Please reconsider, I wanna get together and talk about it.

>>19048599
>Oh shit we're married.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anthony,

I'm sorry to tell you this way but I seemingly don't have another choice, I want a divorce.
I'm not happy and haven't been for a long time, I can't stand by and pretend there is still a relationship going on hear.
I don't want you to take that the wrong way Anthony, you're a wonderful man, and you do care.
But you're never here, and this just continues to show that, regardless of the circumstances.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey baby,

We had a little bit of a scare with Eden Prime, but I just wanted you to know I'm ok and we liberated the colony. I know the news must be going mad right about now. I can't really say much but my leave has been canceled indefinitely. I'm so sorry Melissa, I miss you so much and I want you to know I love you. I'm sorry I keep doing this to you but I'm doing my best.
I trust the money made it to our account, I've been keeping expenses as low as I can, I even stopped drinking. =)
I figured every little bit helps you know. Anyway, write me back as soon as you can.

Love, Anthony

>>19048610
>>19048599
Well I suppose we shouldn't tell her we cheated on her...but we share a bank account. The fuck are we gonna do about that?

>>19048636
FYI we're playing Briggs for a little bit, TIM sometimes switches characters for a change of pace.

>>19048610

Skank can't even wait to say it to briggs face.

I bet she's two timing him.

And They Shall Know No Pity.

Sign papers.

>>19048665
OH! Okay, well damn, that makes it a lot simpler. In that case fuck it, let's pull our money out of the account first.

>>19048670

You sign the papers.
Send a message back along with the papers?
And pulling the money isn't a great idea, they'll pull all assets for the couple with their inputs and separate it out evenly by contribution. There's not really any dirty tricks to be had anymore. Your assets should be safe, it's just the emotional attachment.

>>19048599

We need to use our Manguard powers to hook Briggs up with a hot Asari Matriarch who understands his feelings.

>>19048725
Ehh, no. Just the papers. If we bitch her out or make a big deal out of it it'll just mean she wins. If we move on no problem she'll question her value for years.

>>19048725

>Re:

Something along the lines of feeling like Briggs is trying and she's not.

I don't know, I feel kind of dirty writing his e-mails, but I'm feeling a little protective of him.

You find yourself on the crew deck. Most of the Jakarta's off duty crew seem to be relaxing watching Blasto: The Jellyfish Stings.

Most likely. She has a geth pistol AND a Geth shield modulator, not to mention whatever other juicy salvaged parts that got retrieved, so she has plenty she could do.

That and probably mess with the drones, which reminds me...isn't she supposed to be rigging explosive combat drones?

YOU ARE SERGEANT JAMES "GERONIMO" RENNICK.

>Different timeline

"This training is kicking my ass, when was the last time you slept Geronimo?" Lieutenant Jones whispers to you as you hide in the rain forest canopy.

"Shit, I don't even know, 2...maybe 3 days? This is insanity, the only objective they've given us is to lie in wait and shoot everyone we see. It's been 16 hours in this position alone and I haven't seen jackshit." you reply as quietly as you can.

"Me either, I think they're just fucking with us to see how long we'll obey orders without direction. If it's alright with you can I grab a couple of hours? I'm gonna pass out if I don't." He asks looking wearily at you.

>Your answer

ROLLAN FORTITUDE!

>>19049523
"take an hour, but don't get too crabby when i wake you up"

>>19049523
Have him get a bit of shut-eye. A soldier who has gone that long without sleep is more dangerous to his allies than his enemies. We can always wake him up if we see anything.

>>19049523

If we were told to stay awake and alert, then we must tough it out for as long as possible.

If we were given no such restrictions, rotate sleep and watch. Make sure we have a stick or something to poke the other person awake with silently.

>>19049523
If you do go to sleep will you be able to wake up and be competent quickly enough if something happens?

Make sure you're sleeping in an uncomfortable position and you don't get too deep into it. I'll wake you in a bit.

Jones is awake and spotting it in.

"Looks like...a jaguar...fuck..." he mutters.

"Do you want a nap? Because if so I'll..."

A shot rings out and there is a spray of training round red as Jones is shot and falls out of the canopy.

"SHIT..." you mutter

You roll out of the canopy, the pulley system you rigged slowing your fall to the jungle floor. Training rounds hit the tree and ground around you. Origin seems to be dead ahead, you don't see anything, no even so much as a scope reflection. The hunter has become the hunted.

>Advance forward, try to locate the source of the fire.

>>19049902
>Move to flank.

>>19049902
>Move to flank, trying and get around the attacker.

We're a vanguard, retreating is suboptimal and should be avoided if possible. We're Apache, we know the woods, we have sneak up on deer with our Tomahawk for fun. However charging straight at the problem might not be the best idea, Vanguards wait until they have the best opportunity before they charge like madmen.

>>19049902

Unknown assailant of unknown intelligence and preparation.

Retreat, try to find a high visibility crossing (such as a dry creek bed or ditch) nearby, hide again, get the jump on anyone following us as they're forced to step across open ground even to flank us.

>>19049928

I think I'm outvoted.

The blur is back, and he brought friends. You're peppered from most angles by suppressive fire, but that's when you see him. He's got some kind of camo tech like the shotgun Geth had. He's the one who shot Jones.
