Claridon

Post by Semaj Nagirrac » Thu Dec 04, 2014 12:52 am

In a land far away, ravaged by wars and dangerous creatures, there arose a brave knight that sought to repel the evils of the world and unite the petty kingdoms into a powerful empire. Although it took many years and adventures fraught with great perils, betrayal, loss and sadness, he was successful in completing that which he set out to do. Thus, the great and mighty nation of Claridon was born from the ambition of it's greatest hero, Owain Carraigbeag.

Centuries passed and the empire grew to encompass more lands. Some nations gladly joined Claridon while others fell to it's armies. As the empire increased it's borders, so did it's people create better technology to meet the demands of a rapidly growing state. The old magics were forgotten by many as what were once thought to be strenuous tasks became simple actions.

Recently, the empire has faced many serious setbacks. With the citizens clamoring for more democratic reform, appeals for additional freedoms in the private sector and the ever growing unrest in the more unstable regions, the current emperor, Brannoc Carraigbeag, turned to Sintar Ren for help. As President and CEO of ZhanGuo Industries, Sintar Ren was able to privatize many departments that were once under government authority. One day after ZhanGuo Industries acquired it's government contracts and departments, it's stock quadrupled. With the massive inflow of capital, Sintar Ren convinced his board of trustees to offer loans to the empire to help sustain it through it's troubled financial times. As a result, the empire became deeply indebted to ZhanGuo Industries and the emperor suffered a severe loss of credibility. What was meant to sustain and enrich the empire only seemed to further weigh it down.

Current Date: Monday, September 4th, 1730
Location: ZhanGuo Industries Research and Development (Outpost Level) Cruden Bay, Province of Chruidein
Mission Objective: Investigate rumors of kidnapping and illegal weapons development by ZhanGuo Industries.
Entrusted Officer: Trefor Deinn

Image
You are a soldier in the imperial army tasked with investigating rumors of the kidnapping of a former ZhanGuo Industries employee. The afore mentioned company also faces allegations of illegal weapons manufacture. You are to assist Captain Deinn with the investigation and, as always, fulfill the oath you made to the emperor by following every order your commanding officer gives you as if it came from His Majesty himself.

Image
You have been given the standard equipment of a Regular in the imperial army. Your gear includes (from left to right):
3 G02 Grenades
1 R07 Assault Rifle (AKA Owain)
1 Mithril Katana (pictured on bottom)
1 P12 Side Arm
1 Teksovar Reconnaissance Device

Your armor and helmets have been fitted with your personalized settings and HUD's. All communications will be routed through your helmets in a secured channel as per standard protocol.

Image
Your Commanding Officer in charge of fulfilling your oaths is Captain Trefor Deinn. He is an elite member of the Dragon Guard and has been trained in the old magics as is the tradition of his office. Should you have any questions, they must be directed to him. He is a veteran of the Reptilian War and the current Druidaen Conflict.

Image
You enter the main doors of the ZhanGuo Industries office. Captain Deinn orders you to hold your position and remain silent. You are not to speak with any company employee unless ordered to or given leave from your commanding officer.

Positions Available:
Soldier 1: Cadwgan Baines/QuantumSurfer Blue
Soldier 2: Rodjer "Duke" Downings/Scratch Red
Soldier 3: Jarius Whall/Devincp Green
Soldier 4: Issac Smith/Brikguy0410 Yellow

Provide me with a first and last name, what your previous occupation was, if you had one, and the specialized training you received while in the Imperial Army. More back story can be given as more lore is made up for this scenario.

I'll add you (QuantumSurfer) to the list in the morning. My tablet won't let me scroll down when I edit the main post.

For everyone else, Claridon is a multi ethnic, cosmopolitan country. The majority of its people and places will have Gaelic names, but you can have whatever name you want.

Semaj,

6. I assume that the grenades are all size 1 explosives
7. The assault rifle is a long ranged gun with 10" and 1d6+1 damage and the side arm is short ranged with 6" range and 1d6 damage.
8. since the katana is Mithril will it have batter damage then 1d6+2
9. what can the reconnaissance device do. "mostly wondering if I can use it like the spy in ToJ used the consuls to hack the system"
10. Also are we armored with half move or just +something to defense?
11. Should we PM orders or leave them here on the thread?
12. will our enemies be NPC or will other people be able to play the "Bad Guys"

6. I hate you.
7. My rules are different. One would say they are tampered or "fudged", if you will.
8. The Teksovar Device is a tablet capable of many things. Hacking, GPS, controlling machines and systems remotely (hence the hacking) and analysis. It can do more as well, which I'll make up as we go along.
9. Your armor may be lightweight, but it does not compromise your safety. Think of it as +something to defensive rolls.
10. The grenades can be set to explode on impact, remote detonated with your Teksovar devices or explode after a few second delay. Yes, they are pretty much size 1 explosives.
11. Leave orders on the thread unless you want to be sneaky.
12. Enemies will be played by me. Since I hate you, this does not bode well for you.
13. I hate you.

Well I will post my orders then and then wait to see if they are still relevant after more of the story is revealed.

Pull out the Teksovar Reconnaissance Device and try to hack the system looking for weapons research files.

Edit: also leave a virus in the system to hyde our hacking and then lie dormant so that i can activate it at a future date to take control of stuff.

Captain Deinn approaches the receptionist.

"Ciamar a tha Sibh?" he asks politely.

"Tha gu math." she replies.

"I am Captain Deinn of His Majesty's army and these are my men. We are here on official business and must speak with the head of this establishment immediately."

Image
"Um... Do you, like, have an appointment or something?"

Image
"An appointment? Miss, as I have already stated very clearly, I am an officer in the imperial army. We do not make appointments and we will speak with your superior now."

Image
"Okay... rude... I'll check and see if he's not busy. Jerk..." Quips the receptionist as she exits the room.

Image
As Captain Deinn faces his men, he finds Jarius Whall has pulled his Teksovar Device out.

Image
"Did I order you to use your Teksovar? No! Stow it, now! Do not act without my orders again or I'll see you transferred to Druideann faster than you could drop and give me twenty!" shouts the captain.

Image
"Now that we're back to how we should be," his voice drops to a whisper so it can only be heard over the comms. "Use the scanners built into your helmets and scan the room. I want know of any inconsistencies you find. I don't trust these corporate pigs any more than that whore receptionist could throw me."

@Devin: While the Teksovar is better at scanning than your helmet, using the device in front of the armed guards to your left and right would bring suspicion upon you and your teammates. Captain Deinn is looking out for your best interests.

Maybe I should have mentioned that your helmet is capable of scanning. I guess I'm making this up as I go.

"Sorry sir won't happen again sir."

Scan for weapons files and any automated defense systems. Wait to drop the weapon control virus latter when the opportunity to use my Teksovar without being noticed.

Use helmet scanner to sweep the room. Focus scan on guards and on Receptionist Desk.
