(lol Retech, how does a lich open it's eye sockets "wide"?) Igos goes to the paladin and asks what forces are under his control.

Igos asks the people about what has happened with Grim.

Igos tells the paladin, "A new quarter in the city has been constructed. Can you help organize the moving & establishment of the Caster residents?"

Up at the snow again, won't have a reliable internet until Sunday.

Funny how they beat the military police and took their RPGs. Picture #33 on that site made me chuckle. The guy looks stoked.

A nuclear-armed Pakistan might have something to say about that. I was thinking the same thing... However, this protest seems allot more serious. The protestors took over several government buildings, along with military vehicles/firearms, and they don't seem intent on stopping anytimes soon.

(Ooo I'm going skiing tomorrow) I though you grimsmashed a building and it collapsed on you :o

Grim, you ARE alive?

Possibly...

(last round) Enigma: You have absolutely no clue about your location. The leader of the duty squad asks if you wish to help them out in a mission against the monolith forces in the area. Kimako: "I can supply that. One of the men will have an MGL grenade launcher, while the other will have a SCAR AR." He marks the location of the antenna complex on your PDA. Hakon: You help set up some sensor equipment around the strange generators. +0.3 repair Earth: You begin to have the strange notion that there is no suitable materials for a bowstring in this desolate forest.

Earth: There is nothing around that would make a suitable bowstring. The structure isn't large enough to enter. Kimako: "Yes, how would you like the squad to be outfitted?" You are handed an m67 grenade. Enigma: "No, I haven't seen any in these parts." Hakon: The ecologists agree. You hear a helicopter overhead, which seems to be carrying some portable building. It drops it off in a nearby clearing, along with unloading 3 mercenaries and two more ecologists.

Earth: The structure seems to be in the shape of...something. You can't grasp what, though. You find a fresh branch of wood, surprisingly. Kimako: "We need you to assult an antenna complex, which is under the control of freedom." Hakon: You assist the ecologists, gaining some medical insight. The wounded ecologist recovers. +0.4 medic Enigma: You walk around the hospital, but everything seems quite normal. A guardsman tells you, "Something seems to be jamming all of the electronics around these parts of the zone, I'm not sure what though."

Earth: You contiune searching for some wood, but it seems even worse here. There is nothing suitable for a bowstring around here. The structure is some huge mess of metal, but isn't a building. Enigma: You pull your PDA out, only to find that the GPS unit is being jammed. Kimako: The general of duty congratulates you, saying, "I cannot spare any RPG-7 launchers, but I'll tell the trader to give you a 1500c discount when you buy one. You will be given a squad of 2 men when doing certain tasks."

Earth: You can't find any branches that would be good for a bow. As you move deeper into the forest, you come across some bizzare metallic structure. Enigma: "We found you, unconscious in the forest. There was no 'light orb' in sight." Kimako: You begin to jog towards the HQ, and finally arrive. It is a large military base. Varius: You start walking, coming up to the entrance of a large forest. Hakon: Searching the bodies, you find 200c along with some 9mm ammo (14).

Earth: You stab at the last zombie, finishing it off. All of the branches seem dry and brittle. Varius: The duty commander tells you, "The last group set off just a few minutes ago. I'll mark the trail on your PDA, but you will have to go solo." Hakon: You shoot the monolithian in the leg, causing him to fall over. Dog proceeds to bite him in the neck, killing him. The ecologists seem in a panic, and they rush over to patch up their wounded colleague. (you traded the 9mm handgun in for the P90, along with some money) Kimako: You check your artifact container only to find a "fireball" artifact in it. However, it only gives thermal protection in this state (+2) Enigma: You are inside a large room, with a few other people sitting around. They look as if they have duty outfits on. A man walks up to you, handing you a similar outfit. He says, "Wear it with pride." All of your equipment seems in order.

Kimako: You head off with the group, and begin dancing. However, one of the duty soldiers says, "Shhh, you'll give away our position!" The group meets up with another patrol of 3 men, which are also on their way to the base. You continue on, walking through some massive forest, which seems quite dead. Earth: You madly stab at the zombie attacking your leg until it dies. As the last zombie approaches, you take a shot at it, hitting it in the arm. It tries to grab you, but falls over. +0.2 melee prof. -1 9mm Enigma: After some unknown amount of time, you wake up in an old hospital. Varius: "We don't have any active cammo, but we do have this advanced stun baton (+3 damage, moderate chance of stunning)."

Earth: As the zombies approach, you stab one through the eye socket with the katana, killing it. You pull out your handgun and fire at the other two, hitting them both but not doing much damage. One of the zombies stumbles towards you and bites you in the leg. +0.2 melee prof - 2 9mm Kimako: "I have a group that is about to head to the HQ. You can go with them, if you please." Hakon: You continue firing, killing a monolithan and critically wounding another. Unfortunately, you have no sidearms, but an ecologist picks up the mercenarie's M16. However, he horribly misses when firing. The last two monolithans return fire, hitting the ecologist in the leg, causing him to fall over. Dog bites the jugular of one of the soldiers, killing him. -3 9mm +0.1 handgun prof. Enigma: As you reach out to touch the orb, you are knocked unconscious by a blinding flash of light. Some time after, you start to see strange flashes of white light before blacking out. Varius: The professor tells you, "We have been studying that strange cammo property, but have had no breakthroughs. What would you want for a reward, though?"

Enigma: You shoot the bodies in the head and then continue the journey. After walking for some time, you come across a strange white orb, suspended in midair. Earth: Unfortunately, the dead leaves make stealth quite hard. You alert 3 zombies, which slowly come walking towards you. Hakon: The monolith forces send another barrage of bullets your way, killing the merc and hitting your right shoulder. You return fire, but only wound two of the soldiers. Dog continues to cling to one of the soldier's leg, causing him to fall over. -3 9mm

Enigma: You buy another 40 rounds for 200c. The professor posts a location of an old petrol plant, but warns you that it could be dangerous. You set off, and eventually find yourself in some dead forest. There are 4 bodies on the ground, with nothing besides some rags on them. Hakon: 5 monolith soldiers pop out of the shrubs, firing at your group. Most of the shots miss, but one ecologist is hit in the chest. You and the merc return fire, killing one of the monolithans. Dog latches onto the leg of another soldier. -4 9mm Earth: You come across a massive, dead forest. There is an eerie silence.

Hakon: An ecologist remarks, "This is astounding! We need to send a full team in here to figure out what these generators are for." He contacts the professor on the radio, but you notice something rustle in the bushes nearby. Earth: You go further into the zone, reaching some massive wall. It seems to stretch around for miles, with no way around it. Enigma: "Yes, we have gained much insight from that psychic creature that you obtained earlier. Unfortunately, we still need more time before something like that can be accomplished." The professor glances at the suit, saying, "This is far to damaged to be of any use. Since you helped with such a dangerous mission, you can have a new one instead. Note that you will not be able to wear any gas mask/helmet while wearing the suit. As for missions, I need for you to scout out a suitable place of operations deeper in the zone. Now that the PSY field is gone, everyone is starting to venture deeper." You recieve an SSP99 Mk.I suit (+2 fire, eletrical & chemical, closed cycle breathing system, moderate rad prot.)

Enigma: The professor tells you that it will take some time for the data to be analyzed. He then asks, "What kind of reward are you thinking of? Just don't ask the impossible, please." Earth: Your detector starts beeping, and you manage to find a strange artifact that resembles a sea urchin! Oddly enough there are no anomalies nearby. Hakon: One of the ecologists yells, "This place is dry! No artifacts detected." The team packs up and continues, coming across some huge, spherical generators.

The glorious nation of Kazakhstan! How could one forget the mighty trol_slayer? (Hegemony v3 is in the process of being worked out. Check the hegemony arguement thread for more info)

Earth: The ecologist tells you that everyone is making a mad rush deeper into the zone due to the PSY field being disabled. Hakon: You continue moving with the team, coming up to an old carpark filled with strange, pulsating distortions. The ecologists begin to take readings, while the mercenary keeps watch.
