Kemios:

You see something scuttle across the factory, but it is too dark to tell what. You count another ten dead bodies. The pyro gets his flamethrower ready, and the rest of the team lock and load their weapons. The pyro then prepares to throw a flashbang into the building.

 

Karl:

The professor responds, "The readings were precise, and hopefully this will help us understand the fire anomalies better."

[Jehosaphat]

Kemios waits for a second, alternating between aiming towards the doorway and the area behind the team. (Realized that could be taken two ways, lol)

[Grim_]

Karl asks if he has anymore tasks for him.

[paul191600]

Kemios:

The flashbang explodes, and you and the team quickly enter. The entire building seems dead. The merc team leader shouts, "Switch to thermal optics, now!"

 

Karl:

The professor says, "I don't have any big tasks for you until tomorrow. You can, however, take some basic readings for us in another anomaly field." He marks the location on your PDA, and lets you borrow the Mk I SP99-ECO suit (+2 chemical, biohazard, electrical, and fire defense, closed cycle breathing system, good radiation protection)

[Grim_]

Karl loads his weapons and goes to the anomoly.

[Jehosaphat]

Kemios says, "I have no thermal optics. So I'll just watch the door....." He then proceeds to watch the door with his P90 pointed at it.

[paul191600]

Karl:

As you walk to the anomaly field, you come across several strange distortions in the air. They seem to be sucking in leaves and dirt.

 

Kemios:

You hear a growl, and out of nowhere, several strange creatures attack you and the team. They look slightly human, although they walk on all fours, along with having mutated claws and some sort of razor-sharp teeth. One of them pounces on you before you can get a shot, and claws you, doing minor damage. The pyro burns one of the creatures to a crisp, while the medic shoots one in the head with his SPAS-12 shotgun, blowing it to bits. The sniper is pinned down by another one of the creatures, and the leader gets a lethal shot at another creature, killing it. Another 4 come out from the shadows.

[Grim_]

Karl throws a rock at one of them before continuing to the anomoly.

[Jehosaphat]

Kemios starts firing at them with his P90 on semi-automatic.

[paul191600]

Kemios:

You hit the creature, doing major damage. It lets out a loud growl, and starts limping away. You get up, and recover. The pyro misses, and the medic is pinned down by one of the creatures. However, the sniper gets a well-placed shot with his pistol, and kills the creature pinning him down. The merc leader hits one of the creatures with his P90, doing major damage. There are now 5 creatures left.

Karl:

A crow flys into the distortion, and gets sucked in by it. Once it reaches the "center", the anomaly pulsates, causing the crow to be violently torn apart. You are hit by a small chunk of bird meat.

[Grim_]

Karl gathers data upon the anomoly with the detector.

[Jehosaphat]

Kemios continues shooting at the critters with semi-auto.

[paul191600]

Karl:

You manage to gather some data on the anomaly without any trouble. You then travel to the anomaly field. The whole area is covered by a greenish-hue, and a red light on your detector starts flashing slightly.

+0.3 gravity anomoly expertise

 

Kemios:

You open fire on the remaining creatures, killing two of them. The pyro misses again, but the medic manages to get the creature off him, wounding it slightly. The sniper misses with his pistol, and one of the creatures leaps at him, doing moderate damage. The merc leader knifes another creature lunging at him, killing it instantly.

+0.2 SMG prof.

-2 5.7x28MM rounds

[Grim_]

Karl steps out of the anomoly and continues checking with the detector.

[Jehosaphat]

Kemios shots the other two remaining critters with his P90.

[paul191600]

Kemios:

You fire at the last two creatures, missing the first one, but getting a headshot on the second. The pyro misses (again), along with the sniper. The medic manages to get a direct shot at the creature with his SPAS-12 shotgun. He then runs to the sniper, who is loosing blood fast. Everyone huddles around, and starts helping.

+0.1 SMG prof.

-2 5.7x28MM rounds

 

 

Karl:

The anomaly starts slightly eating away at your suit. You take some readings, but need more. A white light starts flashing on the detector.

[Jehosaphat]

Kemios stands guard with his P90 cocked and ready while everyone else helps the sniper.

[paul191600]

Last round.

 

Kemios:

You stand guard, and the area seems clear. The sniper is patched up, and is being treated by the medic. The merc leader comes up to you, and says, "Without your help, we might have lost a few men today. I will make sure that this contract is worth your while. You will get your reward when the chopper gets here." He then takes out his radio, and calls in two transport helicopters, along with telling the ecologists that the area is clear.

Another update:

Added more depth to faction territories. Significant territories discovered by a player will be listed under the faction details. If the territory is marked HQ, it is the factions base of operations. It is crucial to the faction, and if it is destroyed or taken over, it will cripple the faction significantly. Another element added is resource points. If a faction controls one of these, they will have higher-end equipment, along with their trader offering better gear. Keep in mind that this doesn't change their weapon or armor ratings. Players can also start their own factions, but in order to do so, they need a large number of followers, along with a significant territory to declare their HQ. Remember that a resource point will need to be captured if you want any decent weaponry.

Can we play a round? :P

 

@Earth - he said that last night

 

"Posted Today, 05:38 AM"

 

i.e. he was up past midnight for you

[Earth]

i think he said it was last round... awww, i wanted to try this.

[Earth]

nup, check the post two above you. it says TODAY

[The_Mather1]

I shoot the remaining zombies and pick up what they drop (there's at least one gun from the guy who shot at me), then I call Dog back.

[paul191600]

I'll start once someone posts their actions.

[a_bert]

As you approach the coordinates, you see several people, wearing some sort of military armor, standing around some metallic object. They are all chanting some strange prayer.

 

I hide in the undergrowth and shoot them!
