D-38 Boss

D.J. was a little confused as the one of the new arrivals asked him to show them around. "Uh, yeah. I'll give ya the ten cent tour." He led her around, pointing out the places he knew, which wasn't much. He hadn't really paid attention earlier. They arrived in front of the bunk house. "And here's where we stay. Looks awfully cozy, eh?"

Glad it worked out! Enjoy your game!

[ You're rubbing on borderline Meta-gaming JL... I'll take it for now, but ease up a tad.] Ty started to draw fire from the Innie's, Holding them off as his troops got away. He'd draw as much fire to one location as he could, before cloaking and moving another spot, and taking out some as they fired at his last position. He ducked down behind a fallen tree as they shifted fire to him again, and reloaded. "Damn... low on ammo..." He kicked on his radio. "Lightbringer? you guys still out there?" "Negative. we've already reached the rally point. all teams are accounted for. Moderate losses on all teams, save ours." "Damn it... Return to base and get everyone patched up. I'll lose these guys, and we'll lock down our S---. I want all of Meteor Company at full readiness. If they find us, we're putting them down hard." "Affirmative. see you soon." Ty slid along the ground, moving to the edge of his cover. "Alright... let's do some misdirection..." He cloaked again, and dashed out of cover, moving away from his H.Q., out toward the Desert zone. Every few feet he'd stop, and toss a few frags to get their attention, drawing the Insurrectionists away from his base.

[Yeah, I'm trying to set my character up as a sharp-shooter, so at this stage of training, from a prone position, he's able to fire single shots very accurately. I'll be developing more along these lines as we go. Also, I had D.J. follow Kyro because you made it sound like all the recruits at the range had to run. My mistake.] D.J. trudged back into the courtyard, and took a position on the ready line, trying to stand as straight as he could. He didn't know why either. It had only been one day, but he felt like Kawolski had gotten to him. He had to respect the guy's balls to the wall style, but he'd be damned if he wouldn't have his fun before he got deployed. That could wait until after a good night's sleep though.

It must be a combination of the two, because I haven't had any problems like that with mine. I'd say get a new disc if you can, I don't really think there's much else you can do.

[Wolfy, bear in mind it was a street gang. having a gun at all was a rarity. most of the time they just beat the crap out of people.] D.J. hopped up, set the empty AR back in it's box, and jogged off after Kyro. "Great work... 700 push ups and 16 miles today. Lovin' this..." D.J. said, actually dejected for once. he worked out a lot back home, but this was overkill.

If it turns out to be your Xbox, you have two options; A: Replace it. This is the best course of action, Unfortunately. B: They sell DVD laser cleaning things, they're little disks with a brush on them. It's cheaper than replacing, but only a temporary fix, as it'll just prolong your Reading laser for a month at most, before the brushes get too worn and start to damage it. If it's the disk, you can replace it, or ask a friend for theirs, go onto the dashboard, select My Games, find the game in the list, select it, and choose Install to hard drive. Good luck, I've dealt with this same problem quite a few times.

<p>[THIS IS JUST SOME RANDOM TEXT. IGNORE IT.]</p>

I like to take a person by the ankles, and viciously beat someone to death with them. Both of them die, and there's no murder weapon. It's the perfect crime!! "So, what happened here detective?" "Looks like a pedestrian accident. They must have been moving Pretty fast with this kind of damage..." And no one suspects a thing.

Ty waited about thirty seconds before deciding his pursuer had him figured out. He walked out of the cave, and re-cloaked, taking the demo-charge with him. "All units!" Ty yelled into his radio. "Set off your remaining charges and fall back! we're cutting our loses!" He received scattered confirmation over the radio, and he headed over to support his teams retreat. "Jubyur, fall back and set charges! we're gonna leapfrog back to Rally point Alpha! if they want to follow us, make 'em pay for it!" "Yes Sir! More booms! Lots more booms!!"

"I thought I found the guy who did my brother in... I.. shot him... a little... Had to duck out before the police picked me up, so I enlisted."

[We're only using AR's. No other weapons as of yet. Helljumper is running this one tight.] "Well, it's good to see you." D.J. said, turning to keep practicing. "Don't get too comfortable though. I've already done like.... 1000 push ups today. The Sarge really doesn't like my sense of humor."

D.J. Lowered the AR and turned to see who had talked to him. "Kyro!? I thought they were sending your sorry a-- up the river? What are you doin' here?"

Ty cloaked quickly, and moved to another position,hoping to throw off the rapidly approaching Enemy. "Lightbringer!" He said in a hushed tone. "I'm engaging an unknown enemy! I don't think it's an insurrectionist. Can you send three guys my way?" "They'll be there in a minute. Try not to die." "Thanks for the vote of confidence, D---" Ty slipped into cover behind a tree and reloaded. "Ok... He's got shields. So.... damn it.... uh......" Ty glanced around looking for something he could use to his advantage. "There...." There was a small cave in the side of the hill. Ty uncloaked, and jogged over, making sure to fire a few shots at his enemy to get his attention, before running in the cave. He stopped at the entrance, and set a small explosive charge. It wouldn't kill him, but if it went to plan, his shielding would be fried by the Plasma-conventional combo, And they wouldn't recharge without repairs. Ty moved to the back of the cave, and crouched down, Detonator in hand. "S--- I hope this works.... Otherwise I'm trapped..."

[OH! OHHHH! Is that how it's gonna be wolfy??? that's fine then! ] As the time on the rifle range wound down, DJ's shooting improved marginally. From any position, he was able to put rounds accurately on target, with a 2 to 3 inch grouping. However, if he switched to full-auto, he'd still miss completely. "Guess I'm not a shock an' awe kinda guy..." He said to no one in particular.

Good to know

[The grunts are using Fifty-seveNs, They're refurbished Human pistols. Just something to bear in mind.] "Alright... I see ya...." Ty shouldered his rifle, and took aim at the Human holding a lightrifle. "I'd like to ask to ask you a few questions laddie..." He fired a burst at his legs, hoping to disable him.

[Oh... it's in the Frost zone. a forested region, specifically. A few miles from MMS's base.] Ty ducked down as hardlight rounds whizzed through the air. "S---!" Ty flipped on his radio. "All Companies! I have Hardlight rounds coming from an unknown location! keep your heads down and your guns ready! watch your flanks!" He slipped through the trees and moved toward the Location of Lightbringer 1, ducking behind a fallen tree before uncloaking. "Kal? You around?" A Sangheli uncloaked right next to him. "Yes." "Gah! don't do that!" "Sorry, I love the look of fear on a human's face." "Right.... Your guys in position?" "Yes." "Alright, get them moving in cloak. start choppin''em down." "Yes sir." Kal cloaked and moved off, leaving Ty alone. He peeked up over the trunk of the tree and looked through his rifle's red dot sight. "where the hell are those hardlight rounds coming from?"

[ Patton is a fully intergrated unit. Patton 1 is just commanded by a jackal. Every species is represented in Patton Company.] Ty arrived 3 minutes after the initial Ambush that wiped out a decent portion of the insurrectionists. His troops were fighting bravely as usual, but some had been killed. Ty pulled on his Black Baseball cap, with the MMS logo on the front, and moved along the tree line behind Patton 1's line. He took a knee, and brought his Suppressed M-8A to his shoulder. There was a small squad of insurrectionists that had worked their way behind Patton 1, and had taken cover in a small ditch. Ty controlled his breathing and silently dispatched them before they could even react. He activated his Cloak, and moved to support Lightbringer 1.

"MacMillan! Enemies are here! Boom time?" Ty leaned forward and flipped the switch on his radio. "Hold off for a few seconds, I need to make sure your back-up is in place." He switched channels. "Lightbringer 1, Jubyur is getting ready to start the show, are you in position?" "Yes. Directly on their back flank. If they run, we'll cut them down." "Total annihilation... I like it. Alright, wait for the bang before you uncloak. MacMillan out." Another switch. "Patton 1, Jubyur and Lightbringer are green lit, are you ready?" "Yes, ready. Split in two, flanking sides. Attack?" "Negative, let Jubyur blow 'em up, you take out the left overs, and leave the runners to Lightbringer." "Yes. Eager to fight!" "I know. Make us proud. MacMillan out." One last change of channels. "Jubyur, you are authorized to blow them to bits. get as many as you can!" "YES YES! Cover your head! BIIIIIG boom!" A few seconds of silence followed, before the entire Base shook with the force of the explosion. MMS had developed specialized demo charges that combined plasma with traditional explosives, exponentially increasing their explosive yield. A single ounce of the explosive material had the same yield as 10 pounds of conventional C-4. "Patton. Engaging targets." Ty hopped up from his desk and quickly donned his vest. It'd been a while since he'd seen a good fight, and his personal M-8A had been dormant for long time. "Central, Razgriz Actual is deploying. I give Mission control to you." "Roger that, good hunting Sir."

15 minutes since they started, D.J. finally forced himself to not flinch at every shot, and was hitting the target every time. Not accurately, but a hit was a hit. He shoved in his 11th magazine, and switched to a prone position. He found it much easier. After a full mag, he had worked his way from just hitting the target, to a 4 inch grouping on center mass. "Well, slap me hard and call me Oswald... I think I'm getting the hang of this shooting thing." He slid another mag in, and kept at it. "'course, I had to remember which side of the gun I was on first..."

"Jubyur 1,2, and 3. Check in." Ty said into his [ENCRYPTED!!!!] radio. "Jubyur 1 here! we're bored!" The distinctly Unggoy voice said. "Jubyur 2, no bad guys!" "Jubyur 3, we put a big bomb on the road. When do we get to make it go boom?" "Jubyur 3, hopefully we won't have to, but keep your eyes open. we're engaging Human enemies. Insurrectionists.I trust you'll know what to do." "Yes Sir! Big Boom!" Ty turned off his radio and chuckled. What the Grunts lacked in brute strength, they more than made up for with explosive enthusiasm. Literally. He switch radio channels, and turned the radio back on. "Lightbringer 1, Report." "No sign of any enemies. They may not have reached this area yet." "Alright. keep those swords ready. Nothing sends an Insurrectionist running like an Energy Sword." "We'll give them something to run from. Lightbringer out." Ty switched channels again. "Patton 1, Sitrep." "This Patton 1. Eyes on. Small force." It was one of the Companies higher ranking Jackals. "Attack?" "Negative. Let Jubyur have their fun. You and Lightbringer 1 will mop them up afterwards. Let Jubyur know they've got work to do." "Yes." Ty switched channels one last time. "To the Insurrectionist forces so foolishly marching towards their deaths, I have 3 words for you. Come get us." He flipped off his radio, and kicked his feet up. His troops all knew what to do. All he had to do was watch.

Ty arrived back at command central. "Give me a Sitrep, now!" A young woman turned and handed him a data pad. "Insurrectionists. We've just received a report that one carrying an I.E.D. was stopped by a Detachment from Lightbringer Company. No casualties." "Excellent. Send out more patrols. I want Jubyur positioned on all main roads with ambushes set up. We're locking down our territory." "Yes sir!" Ty jogged over to his office, and booted up his computer. He'd need to micromanage everything to keep his people alive.
