first GDI mission in TS... FPS style (with names, too)
Chapter 1. The beginning.
General Solomon. "God Damnit, makes no sense. Why south-west sector 9?"
Kane." You'll come for the sunshine, but you'll stay for the mystery."
Different crewmembers. "What the?" "I thought he was vaporized by the Ion cannon..."
General Solomon." What the hell is this. It's not possible. Punch it up on the main screen. General Sheppard killed you. You're a ghost."
Kane. "General Solomon, it would be a sound mistake in judgement to mistake me for a ghost."
General Solomon. "My judgement is sound, Kane. I'm not afraid of ghosts or you."
Kane." Oh, and General, there will be a nuclear cruise missile en-route to the next base that attacks my Brotherhood of Nod. Hahahaha." (disappears off the mainscreen)
Crewman. "He's in the southwest, sir."
General Solomon. "Get me McNeil."
Crewman, quietly. "Yes, sir..."
Later, in the Droppod bay.
First Lieutenant Carl "Indy" Briggs, tall, age 23, waited for the order to get in his droppod. He'd heard rumors, and his room, directly underneath the command room, was the perfect place to get news, or orders, first. Today he had heard one of the strangest conversations in his life. He swore he had heard Kane, of all people, talking to General Solomon. Kane was, supposedly, dead, vaporized by a powerful Ion Cannon strike in his temple, in Saravajo, in 1995.
He checked the clip in his Minigun, fired off a test round from his .75 caliber Colt pistol , and checked his standard issued body armor, and started to brief his squad.
"As we all know, Nod has attacked Phoenix Base, and we have been ordered be the first group to attack. "Carl said, "There are friendlies in the area, so don't get too trigger happy. Any questions?"
"Men, you've got confirmation. I repeat you have confirmation. Get in droppods, and report when ready to launch."
As expected, his second in command, Second Lieutenant Kyle "Bond" Jameson, was first to report in. The rest quickly reported, the last being Corpral Jimmy"Adams" Marat. Marat was the newest member of the squad, having completed training just 3 months ago. He was acceptably fast, but this was his first combat mission, so he was a little jittery, as expected. Sure this wasn't much fun at launch, (it had an installed vomit bucket) but it was better than dropping from an Orca transport, or even a dropship.
Later, en-route to the target.
"I'm having problems with my 'pod." remarked one of his pals, Sargent Mark "Kell" Jensen.
"Damnit", Indy swore."How bad is it?"
"Minor, just hydrolic fluid contamination.", Kell replied.
"Kell, that isn't minor. you realize that will keep you in that little pod 'till we can can blow you out." Indy replied.
"No problem. What's my bag full of?", Kell returned.
"You sure you wanna do that?" Indy asked.
"Already setting a small piece of remote C4."
"Damnit", Indy swore..
"Entering atmosphere in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. Entering atmosphere.", beeped his navagation computer.
"Roger," said another soldier, Sargent Mike "Clueless" White.
"Damnit, I was enjoying the ride. Now I've gotta get out and shoot Noddies." Adams remarked.
"I thought I heard a few heaving sounds from you... you really have to learn to shut off your radio..." commented idly Kell.
"Bastard.."
"Cut the idle chatter." interupped Indy.
"Yes, sir"
"Sure. boss"
"Impact in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. impact", interupted Indy's nav computer.
A few seconds later.
"Squad, report."
"Kell here".
"White here".
"Bond here"
"Adams here, but we lost Jimson, his 'pod hit a building".
"Becca here".
"Ozzy here".
"Atlas here".
"Boston here. Area clear."
"Regroup at Point Phoenix". Indy was giving out orders."We're moving out."
"Aaah, but boss, I've got a great view up here". That was Second Lieutenant Rebecca "Becca" Wohl , the squad sniper/recon expert, and one of two women in the squad.
"Not you. Can you see the Nod base from your position??"
"Negative, wait... I can, but barely."
"Well enough to snipe from there?"
"Roger."
"You know your orders."
She didn't even bother to acknowledge his orders, but it was obvius that she heard him by the sound of her sniper rifle firing, followed by a scream as a Noddy died.
"Right squad, we're moving out. Phoenix is all clear, damaged, but still functional. Ozzy, stay behind and help repair the base. The rest of you, stay around me."
Corpral Kenneth "Ozzy" James was the squad engineer/mechanic, capable of repairing any tank, building, or anything in between.
They soon found a few Noddies, rounding up GDI POWs. the GDIs dove for the ground, letting the heavy weapons crew spray the Noddies with M-60 rounds. The group of GDIs included a few important men on the command staff for Pheonix base. Bond and White escorted them back to base. Nobody noticed, but a senior staffer smiled, privately.
(all chracters are fictional, but are similar to names from school, books and other places. You might get lucky and I might continue this through the whole GDI campaign, or at least my favorite missions in it(not Rescue Tratos, I hate those missions)) (also, please comment if you have anything to say...) _________________ "Banned" RP here Last edited by Tyler Adams on Wed Nov 17, 2004 10:13 pm; edited 3 times in total QUICK_EDIT
"All forces, cease fire, and fall back to base." That must have been somebody in the comm center, as the message came in clearer than usual.
"The hell?" Indy asked. "Well, you heard him. Back to base, quickly."
"Yeah, I heard him. Too loudly. I think I'm partially deaf," Adams quietly commented, hitting the side of his helmet.
"Don't come back! Its a trap!" He sounded oddly familiar.
"That was Bond!!". Becca cried out over the radio.
"Damnit, she's right, for once!" Once again, Adams was making rude comments over the radio.
"VERY funny, you bastard", she replied.
"Hahaha." Kell said, shaking his head.
"What?"
"You are NEVER going to get her to go out with you."
"What?! What makes you think I'm trying to go out with her??"
Actually, he was trying to date Paige Harris.
"You always dash forward anytime there is a chance that you'll get hurt and she is watching. That's enough for me."
That conversation had carried them to the base. Suddenly, two squads of nod soldiers appeared from behind the barracks and power plants and a senior officer appeared out the Comm center, holding an M-17 Carbine to White's head.
"Drop your weapons and put your hands on your head, or your pal White here is gonna be deader than a frozen and dried leopard carcass."
Most complied, but Adams and Indy instead raised their own rifles.
"Drop the M-17, or be filled with 60 rounds of the finest titanium." That was, suprisingly, Adams.
"You wouldn't dare."
Instead of replying, he did. He was dead before he hit the ground, and White was still alive, since the officer wasn't trained to use M-17, a recently developed SMG, and had missed. Also, a shot rang out, cutting down about half of the squad from the barracks. Indy finished the rest of the squad from the barracks. The rest of the other squad either broke and ran, or was gunned down by the Heavy Weapons crew, which had started preparing to fire as soon as they had "Surrendered".
"Hmmm. Well, that worked. I guess. I'm gonna look into getting you promoted." That came from Indy, who was suprised as the rest of the squad.
"Never knew ya had that in ya.", commented Kell ."I guess I gotta apologize about all the snide comments I said tonight, since you saved our lives."
"Ah, that's all right, old man."
"OLD MAN!!!". Kell who, only 30 years old, was outraged.
"Haha. Just kiddin'."
"Guys, sorry to break what might have been a VERY amusing conversation, but we gotta secure the base, again," he said, rolling his eyes "and disable any C4 the Noddies might have planted." At this point, they were joined by Becca. "and, Becca, good job."
"Hmm?"
"You cut down half a squad of noddies in one shot."
"I did?? I dont have a railgun, you know."
"If not, GDI has a supporter in places unknown."
I'm gonna have to go with you are quite correct."
"Wierd. Anyways, lets split up into pairs. Adams, you come with me, Becca and Boston, you search by the power plants. The rest of you, split into pairs and search other areas. Be on the lookout for Ozzy and Bond. Try not to shoot them."
It appears that Nod didn't set any C4, and the Construction Yard soon had the base up back to somewhat operational status.
An hour later..
"Reinforcments have arrived." Indy said, getting ready to attack the well defended Nod base. "Also, the base now has makeshift helipads, making it possible to launch airstrikes. But, we have to take out the SAMs."
" Oh, yeah, thats gonna be real easy. Why don't we just send a group of bombers, or I thought that we were assigned a gunship, in to destroy them??"
"Cuz that would be costly and VERY dangerous. Plus, you should be cocky enough to walk in there, set a bunch of C4, and walk out. Simple."
"Did you forget about them big Obelisk things?? They shoot a laser capable of destroying almost anything in 1-2 shots. I dont feel like becoming a pile of ashes and melted metal."
"Melted metal? You're a cybog?" Kell, still miffed at being called an old man, had called out from the audience.
"What do you think?? I'm carrying an minigun, plus an M-17 and C4."
"M-17? Where'd ya get an M-17" Asked White.
"It's the traitors, well, it was, anyway. Now it's mine. Simple."
"Damnit. I thought I got rid of that. I threw it off of the top of the conyard."
"Oh, you threw it. It nearly hit me on the head."[/i] _________________ "Banned" RP here Last edited by Tyler Adams on Wed Nov 17, 2004 10:14 pm; edited 6 times in total QUICK_EDIT
what nods?
the guys holding the POWs were dead, sprayed by the heavy weapons crew. M-60s have a 200 round clip. That can kill a noddie VERY quickly, I would expect. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
Half an hour later, hidden in front of the Nod base.
"Well, I'm open to ideas." Indy said.
""Erm, we use Amphibous APCs?I dunno. Shouldn't we have done this BEFORE we got here?" That was Adams.
"Yeah, we probably should have. But we didn't. Deal with it."
"Call in the Titans!" Once again, Adams was suggesting stupid ideas.
"How many you think we'd lose?"
"Becca, you back at that cliff of yours?" asked the group medic, Corpral Paige "Atlas" Harris, over the radio.
"Erm, almost to the top, no, not yet."
"Report when you are."
"Paige, who do you think you are? I'm not a private, you know."
"I know, I just like to think I'm in command." she said, smiling sweetly.
"Fine, I'm there."
"See anything explosive near walls, the Obelisk, anything? Check the War Factory, it might have a few fuel drums nearby."
"Yeah, couple of fuel drums near the WF, a drum of oil near the Obelisk, and a bunch of ammo crates between the walls and the cliff, and a few Tiberium, blue, I might add, crates. What do ya want me to shoot first?"
"Hmm. They're all so good targets, WE'VE GOT HARPIES OVERHEAD, THEY SEE US. THEY'RE SHOO." and that was all she could get from her radio.
Becca looked through her scope, saw and heard the Harpies firing at them, and she fired.
To be continued... _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
couple of questions
1) i assume you mean m16 mk2s when you say m16s i also doubt nod would be using uzis as they have acess to better stuff.
2) dont you think you are portaying the noddies in an impersonal and rather weak way having them dispatched so easily by a group of gdi? _________________ QUICK_EDIT
2) but, if you were suprised, don't you think that you'd be an easy kill?
Also, the second squad was riddled (shot up) with an M-60. Lots of bullets for a few soldiers to be hit with. like I said before, 200 bullets before needing a new clip; the HWC fired off half the clip. 10 of the 20 noddies ran. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
10 minutes later. Only after shooting down five Harpies, they left off attacking them. Wether becuase they were out of ammo, or becuase they had had enough of them shot down, it dosen't really matter, they left. Most of the squad was injured at least somewhat, Paige and Boston being exceptions.
Fortunately, since Paige wasn't hurt, she was able to help Adams and Indy back Becca's plateu, and once there, heal them.
Once they were healed, they all sat in a corner, discussing what to do next.
"Hmm, well we could attack one spot, and then sneak into the base fron another point in the walls." Adams suggested," kinda like a diversion, and have Becca shoot the crates and drums."
"Nah, too risky."
"Maybe, use an amphibious APC to sneak to a less defended spot, and then, well, blow, shoot and blast our way to the Power Plants."
"Unhuh. You think that'll work?", Indy replied, rolling his eyes.
"Might." he replied." Might not."
"Yeah, I'm gonna go with might not."
"Yeah, it was pretty far fetched." At this point, they were joined by the rest of the squad.
"You know, Adams idea and mine might work." Paige commented.
"And your idea is?" inquired Indy.
"Mostly his idea, only a little more sneakily. We use amp APCs, sneak into the base, and destroy the PPs. Becca also has a part in this" Adding onto this after seeing Becca's crestfallen face," You will shoot the explodeables. Simple."
"Sneakily, explodeables, where do you get these words?", Adams asked.
"Don't ask."
"Ok.." Adams said, and strolled away, whistling, to get a cup of coffee from his Thermos bottle. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
An hour later, down at a nearby beach, the team, minus Becca, who was still at the plateu, met by a broken bridge. There, they found an old, damaged amphibious transport, from the 1990s. Paige had some engineering experience, so she went inside it to see if it was still in functioning condition. I wasn't. However, she did find some medical supplies and ammo, including an old, but functioning, Stinger SAM and a shotgun.
"Might be useful", she commented to herself, and took them.
"Hey, Indy, anyone?" She was trying to radio back."Indy, come in." All she was getting was static. She started to get a little scared, as any of her team would normally radio back instantly, or almost instantly. She switched to another channel, then tried to contact Adams.
"Adams, come in. Adams, report." She was still getting nothing. Shit, she thought, then realized that she could hear an ORCA phalnax overhead. She ran for the entrance, and tried to signal them.
"HEY!! HEY!!" She gave up.
It seems that one of the ORCA fighters had infact heard her, and had radioed for a transport, becuase an ORCA transport soon arrived at her location. Unfortunatly, she had already gone back inside the AT. (The ORCA transport pilot radioed the pilot that had called, and call him a liar; the fighter pilot later shot him with a BB gun.) She went to sleep, lodged between a bunk and a bulkhead. Her sleep wasn't peaceful. It brought back memories of bad times; when Nod soldiers came to bring her family to a recruitment camp; the unpleasant times that followed; her father sacrificing his life by shooting a guard to save his family, just horrible times.
The next day, her team arrived back at the AT wreck. She heard voices outside the entrance.
"I told you she shouldn't have gone in alone."
"No you didnt. Don't roll your eyes like that, I'm not blaming you entirely."
"GOD DAMNIT! Stop arguing!" Kell broke in.
"Heh, c'mon out, Atlas."
"Hey, Indy, you feeling ok? I'm Adams, you know. Yah! Where'd yah get that shotgun?"
Atlas had been spying on them while they had been arguing, and had climbed out when Indy had noticed her. She had snuck up behind Adams, and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Well, we wasted a day. Let's get moving."
"Ok, just a sec, I gotta get my stuff."
"What stuff... nevermind" Atlas had climbed back into the AT wreck, and had grabbed the stinger missile/ammo and med supplies.
"Nice haul. Now let's get out of here.
Farther down along the beach, they found a crashed raptor (F-22), half in the water. While it was scenic, it wasn't much help.(so they thought, at first). Indy called for a break there. They agreed. While Indy and Boston rested with their backs along one of the tail fins, Kell and Adams started arguing over which female in the squad was hotter, Atlas drank a cup of coffee and started examing the wreckage. She located a missile, unexploded and half in the water, some electronics gear, which she used to repair her damaged radio, and a civilian who was using the wreckage as a home. She asked the civilian who he was, where he was from, that kind of stuff. In fact, he was an Ex-US Marines Lieutenant named Michael Antillies. He used to work as a GDI spy, but he was shot in the chest, and left for dead. He managed to crawl to the wreckage he now used for a home. He found medical supplies there, and then healed himself. He also knew of a secret path that lead to the plateu the Nod base was on. She paid him 100 credits and asked him to bring her and her squad there. She would pay him 200 credits once they made it there. He agreed, but only if they gave him a Thermos full of coffee and a pack of cigarettes. Kell agreed to give him a pack of cigarettes, and Boston didn't drink coffee, and happily gave Mike his full thermos. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
Question: can you explain to me how it would be humanly possible to handle a .75 calibre pistol? It amounts to a 19.05mm cailbre, which is impossible to be manhandle. Get your facts straight before playing at being a big boy. _________________ Evolve or die! QUICK_EDIT
It's supposed to be a fictional story, and the suit GDI soldiers wear (I guess) isn't just a uniform, it adds some strength to the soldier who wears it. Besides, this is a big guy.
I'll continue the story later.. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
yes but harpies are fast fly anti infantry aircraft with high caliber "Tracking" bullets. also you have people with stinger missile launchers, uzis and m60s which as of renegade are in neither sides arsenals. they use m16 mk2s and other more powerful/accurate or generaly better replacements for obsolete technology. and noddies dont run from infantry they would be executed for that _________________ QUICK_EDIT
