Re: One lonely Outpost a DOOM 3 quest

January, 2143

You wince and rub your thigh as your injury from The Incident flared up as you filed your reports for the month. The idea of a rapid response team was sound and the one they had in Mars city was very good at their job but the fact that you were given the utter dregs of the marines assigned to Mars caused… Issues.

[X] Get men out to that mining equipment and get it operational.
67, the day after your 3 squads of marines arrived you kicked of them out the airlock with 12 hours of oxygen strapped to their backs with orders to survey the mining equipment and see what you could put to use. The results aren't as good as you hoped but were better than expected. You have a fuel extractor capable of pulling out enough hydrogen from the soil to feed a pair of medium sized reactors for a long time; you just need to get the thing online. Right now you have a small reactor with a year's worth of fuel to tie you over but you decided to play it safe and ordered the marines to do what they can to fix it up.
Medium Fuel Extractor 67/100

[Bonus from hidden roll kicks in!]

It turns out that one of your marines is a compulsive tinkerer and spent the month bribing, bullying, and conning the men into helping him work on his latest project. As for what that project was…
UNSC-Mammoth-from-Halo-4-Screenshot.jpg

How the fucking hell had you not noticed him turning a massive dump truck into the biggest armored Cargo hauler on Mars? The Thing even had its driver's Cabin replaced with a command center for god's sake! And if that wasn't enough the little lunatic says he can upgrade it if you order some stuff for him to do it with. Fuck it; you're too sober for this shit. (Three fucking 100s in a row! Damn my hatred of the taste of booze, I'm too sober for this but I can't even bear a sip of the stuff.)

Gains asset: The Bison ACH (armored Cargo hauler)

[X] Have the men train. Even if we're out in the bumfuck edge of nowhere there is no excuse to get sloppy
88, the bad news first: they sent you the worst marines on the planet and no, that is not an exaggeration. Half of squad two was 20 pounds overweight. This did last and you were able to get the whole lot in decent condition before the month was out.
Marine quality status has now been raised to: Basic

You're going to need dedicated equipment to get them beyond this point though.

[X] Create a quick response team. Anything goes wrong these are the guys who will get to the scene first and make sure it doesn't get worse.

12, You're not talking about this. Those four little shitstains from squad 3 nearly caused the Bison to run you over and you still got a nasty cut on your thigh from your attempt to have them to practice a basic fireman's carry. You're not trying this again till you get some training manuals for Rapid response teams.

Where's the fucking whiskey bottle you opened when the lunatic showed you the bison?

[X] Check those crates out. Might as well see what we were left
46, God bless the last guy stuck here. He left you four cases of what is now 12 year old Whiskey in the first of the three crates. The Second Create had a supply of paper manuals for all the outdated equipment here at the outpost, this should keep you from having to go to Kelly to request them.

The Last crate was… odd. It looked newer then the other two, as in manufactured less than 2 months ago new if the serial number on the side was anything to go by. It held a bunch of crosses and what looked like silver plated bullets for your pistol.

Plan for February:
What will your men do for the month?
[X}
[X]
[X]
What will you do?
[X]


Note: at the end of march you will have a chance to buy supplies, weapons and gear. you'll have a budget of 100 supply points to start with. Omake will earn you extra.

Hmm, what are our options right now? I admit I'm a bit lost.
 
Re: One lonely Outpost a DOOM 3 quest

Paroling, cleaning up the all the crap around the outpost. traumatizing the shitstains for what they did, seeing what can be updated, training some of the marines to run the stations in the command center. that's just a few things you can do.
 
Re: One lonely Outpost a DOOM 3 quest

[X] Patrols. Sure theres nothing out here we need to be worried about, but it will keep the men busy so they don't have time to grumble.
[X] Poll the marines for those who might be suited for running stations in the Command Center. Then train them up.
[X] Start sorting through the trash around the base. See what can be repaired, what can be torn apart for parts and what is pure garbage.
What will you do?
[X] Come down HARD on those fuckups who messed up the quick response training regimen.

Hope we get some more voters.
 
Re: One lonely Outpost a DOOM 3 quest

>You're going to need dedicated equipment to get them beyond this point though.

Can we do something about that now, or should we wait for the end of the March?

>compulsive tinkerer

Some turrets for that Cargo Hauler would be nice...
 
Re: One lonely Outpost a DOOM 3 quest

[X] Start the requestion process now, try and get some actual training equipment sent on over to the base. We are well aware that this is going to be delayed a ton so might as well start it now.

Your requisition can't be fucked with, the general may hate you but he hates people fucking with logistics on purpose even more.

Re: One lonely Outpost a DOOM 3 quest

*flips coin* all right i'm gonna make myself some food then i'll get to work on the update. also anyone have Upgrade ideas for your base or the Bison speak up so i can price them and add them to the list of things you can buy.
 
Re: One lonely Outpost a DOOM 3 quest

Defensive and support-based abilities.
Like energy shield, better armor plating, heck, even a freeze gun would do for now.

You don't have any labs, and such a project would take years to pull off.

We should research attachable flashlights for our guns. :p

on the list of thing you can buy because your outpost is military controlled and UAC's bean-counters can't say no to your ordering them.
