    The year is 2183, nearly a quarter of a century has passed since the First Contact War and humanity has taken it's place on the galactic stage.
    While largely seen as a radically liberal and entitled society by the galaxy at large they have earned their own embassy on the Citadel and humanity has entered a new Renaissance.
    Now, more than ever humanity needs great citizens like yourself to advance it's goals among the stars.

    Well looks like the vote for Vanguard got doubled and he rolled a 10. That will set it for me.
    James Rennick shall be the PC.
    However, the other two will win a consolation prize as squad members.

    Let's begin, I'll carry over the Terra Nova duty station.
    You are at your barracks, it's time for a little R&R.
    You currently have no bunkmate, the room is pretty bare but there are a few personal items. Notably an M-5 Phalanx, your personal sidearm, and a Bluewire MK II Omnitool.

    Not to argue with the DM, but you do realize that 80 pounds of difference is not going to matter when the velocity is fast enough that it slows down time around you (IE, getting close to lightspeed). Also, quote from the wiki: The collision negates the mass of an enemy, allowing for even the largest of enemies to be sent flying backwards. Again, the actual mass of the character doesn't matter in terms of hurting the opposition.

    I still think we should be heavier than 120 pounds though.

    To clarify a few things, you are trained in all weapon classes, it's absurd a trained soldier in the this time wouldn't have knowledge of any and all weapon systems. That being said, you specialize in Shotguns and Pistols.
    You locate a set of Mark II Onyx armor, and M-22 Eviscerator MK II. You pack as many thermal clips as you can comfortably carry, ammo shouldn't be an issue.

    I just noticed, the M-5 Phalanx we have would not have been invented, or at least not standard issue yet. So, a new pistol is in order.

    Light Onyx Armor
    Scimitar shotgun
    Edge pistol

    Whatever the highest level of each armor we can get, of course. Lets get stabilizers and incendiary rounds for the shotgun, medical interface for the armor, and high impact and stabilizers for the pistol.

    Also, we'll probably want to stock up on grenades, possibly with the high-explosive upgrade.

    NOTE: I am intentionally choosing armor and weapons that a human armory would presumably have, I know there are probably more "optimized" ones from Elanus Risk Control and that Turian armory.

    Ok you want a downgrade?
    That's cool with me.
    I guess I can also take the M-22 back with this description right?
    The Lieberschaft 2180 shotgun, or "Eviscerator," is of human civilian design and has a unique ammunition generator. Where most modern firearms shave off chips or pellets from an ammunition block, the M-22 shaves off serrated metal wedges designed to fly aerodynamically. This dramatically improves its armor-piercing capabilities, and its tight grouping helps wound ballistics at longer ranges than standard shotguns. This design also violates several intergalactic weapons treaties, so the M-22 is not distributed to militaries.

    Yep. guess I'll just go on about checking all this gear as being period and making sure you're not getting anything overpowered. You are after all rank and file. ;)
    Rule #1, never give the DM ideas.


    TL;DR?
    You now have Hurricane MK 1 and a Striker MK 1 as it's more realistic.

The Geth have not been seen beyond the Perseus Veil in almost 200 years, we don't know why they're here or what they want so be prepared for anything. Transports are on the way, you will board the Cruiser Jakarta and with it's flotilla join the battle in the Utopia system."

    Roger, sorry, I've had to think alot about how this is progressing.

    You join your squad in the shuttle.
    You decide to ask Karrigan and Hui about the Geth.
    "That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. They were built by the Quarians, you know those people that wear the suits? They designed them as servants, one day they just up and freaked out, got smart enough to figure out life as slaves was no way to go I guess and nearly killed all the Quarians, drove them off their plants and then...nothing, not a thing, they stayed put behind the Veil. No one goes there, nobody knows what happened to them. Well until now, I just don't understand what makes Eden Prime so valuable, why attack there, it's so far from Geth Space..." Karrigan admits, Hui then adds, "If they really are machines me and Kerrigan should be useful, we don't just fix em' we can break em too."
    Stan breaks in "Psh, not like it's hard, without ordinance I can break just about anything"
    Newton still hasn't said anything, you're beginning to worry about the kid.
    "Heads up, we're sharing the shuttle" says Haskill as he comes in and takes a seat. Another squad hops in and the doors close, you can feel the Kodiak take off towards orbit, your stomach lurches from the g-force.
    You encounter a little bit of turbulence and the shuttle dips, the negative g's putting your stomach in your throat.
    "Damn, these things need a smoother ride, it feels like a 3 million dollar coffin!" moans one of the other squad.
    "Yeah I hear you, Rodriguez" adds the guy to his right.
    "You two keep your bickering down, it'll be over soon." their sergeant growls from his station in the back of the shuttle.

    "Bet they bring a great salvage value, we could probably make a mint from the Quarians on one if we could bring it back" Stan mentions.
    "I'll not have either one, we're here to do our job and go home. Did you both forget they attacked us?!" Karrigan and Stan both look to Sergeant Haskill the source of the complaint. They guiltily look to the deck of the Kodiak.

    If they're going to be a threat, there are questions that we need to answer. Otherwise we'll just be sitting around with our thumbs up our collective ass waiting for them to attack again when we could be preparing. Hell, we COULD manage a counteroffensive.

    Haskill is silent for a moment, "We don't have much intel at the moment. We're the ones supposed to be providing as much intel as we can to see if Terra Nova is in danger. I assume there will be civilian causalities. We help anyone we find. You're a solider second and human being first."
    The shuttle jolts as it lands in the hangar of the Jakarta. "I'll updated you as more information becomes available." Haskill adds as you all exit the shuttle. The Jakarta is a huge ship for her class. There has to be enough room for the entire brigade's shuttles and a squadron of fighters.

    I can agree, I think I should have just dropped us in the (Williams' unit) 212 but I was trying to be less obvious about the whole Eden Prime thing.
    I may end just running a standard campaign based on Alpha Omega combat system and home-brew the details. I also really shouldn't have got in the pissing match about gear loadouts. He was completely right of course but I thought it would be more interesting if I threw in the newer gear over the stale old stuff. No one remembers the details on the ME1 gear without referencing the wiki, at that point I might as well name it whatever I want but then I'm just casting off the universe established companies and designs. It's a slippery slope to throw out everything you don't like.

    Do you mean conversation within the game? Because what's happening now is down-time until we get to Eden Prime, unless there is some pressing matter there isn't much to really explicitly say. We check our weapons, say our personal prayers, and wait until we get to Eden Prime.

    Just 2? Good enough, I'll waste my time for that.
    Ok, I hadn't specified the Tomahawk but why the hell not, you have a Tomahawk that's been passed down your family for generations. Note that your family has made various improvements ever since. Better handle, sharped to a point you could use to crack a Turian's head. (Matter of fact you think your dad may have done that during the First Contact War)
    It's as ready as you can make it, this thing has killed time and time again in your family and it's ready to add your own notches below your fathers. Although you have your omni-tool synced to keep track of your kills. That was the cause of most of the handle replacements.

    Karrigan stands ready to examine any Geth tech you bring her and Emily should be able to assist as well.

    An alarm goes off as the ship emerges from FTL in the Utopia system as scheduled, you're ordered to assemble in the hangar with the rest of your squad, combat prepped.
    You meet the squad, you look like a juggernaut in your armor, ready to steamroll any opposition that gets in your way. The squad looks fierce as well.
    Sergeant Briggs has chosen the designation Jackal Squad for his team.
    Haskill asks you and Karrigan to make the decision, he doesn't care what we're called so long as it's easy to remember.
    Karrigan quips we should name ourselves Redwood squad for the size of the stick up Haskill's ass since this started.

However a lot of lights burn behind foreign looking barricades and at the top of the hill, looks to be some kind of walking tank, it's half as big as a Mako.

    That's kind of what happened. You see, You actually went into a charge from that roll. You actually intercepted the Siege Cannon Pulse, your Mass Effect field was strong enough to shunt it aside taking out the group of geth on the left behind cover. Trust me, no damage rolls are necessary. It had several degrees of successes on unsuspecting targets. And you performed a Biotic Flying kick on the tank, negating most of it's mass and knocking it (insert dice roll here) yards back and on it's back like a turtle

    The Geth turn towards you, your squad is standing slacked jawed. It occurs to you to yell and tell them to get to cover. You have surprise on the Geth and throwing a grenade is a quick action due to the disc like nature. You have 6 seconds before the remaining geth gets to attack. Use them wisely.

    Attack with Shotgun, loaded with Incendiary. You can fire 3 times in 6 seconds AKA Two seconds to fire one time. 3 Geth remain. If you aim you can add 1 degree of success for each second you do so. So 2 seconds adds 20 to your roll for example.

    Grenades are the same way. 2 seconds to throw you can aim it, all three enemies were behind cover but now you are behind that cover, it's negated.
    You can aim grenades as well.

    After the grenade, take another two seconds to finish the rest off with shotgun blast.

    Well without further ado, your grenade flies as true as the arrows of your ancestors. It actually breaks the Light of the main geth in the formation before exploding rendering him and the rest of his team a pile of scrap. You decide Jackal squad was right. They blow up real pretty.

    "Geronimo...holy shit..." Is all Karrigan can manage over the coms.

    You can pump a round into their scrap if you'd like but you have a feeling it's rather unnecessary

    The geth walking tank struggles helplessly to get up.
    You hear the pilot of the Kodiak come across the com.
    "I got it" The Kodiak's main gun opens up gutting the machine in a brilliant explosion behind you.

    With that, I suppose I'll be heading out gents. Work in the AM. Thinking Thursday maybe? Start early, it's my day off. Or late late Wednesday night?
    I'll let you guys work out the closing and prep. I'll keep this thread open on Opera and if there are any developments I'll note them down.

    None in the immediate area. The Sniper team encountered light resistance but were able to handle themselves.
    Lots of blood, no bodies though. Looks as though they were dragged off.
    As he says this you notice drag marks up the hill towards the comm station.

    I game seldom but hard. I've been running this since 3 central. You might not be here the whole time but there will be time I assure you.
    When I get off work tomorrow. I will start on work for a crunch session, mechanics. Something concrete you guys can hold onto. Plus we can roll for loot next time to see if Geth left us any goodies.
    >> The Illusive Man !!YhRfZU/QcTP 04/30/12(Mon)00:08 No.18916048

    So same time Wed then? Would have stuck around for the whole thing, but it was almost 2am when I stopped posting earlier.

    I will start approx 9:30 PM Central US Standard time when I get off work and get home more than likely. People gotta have that tech support..
    We'll go to...IDK Maybe 2 AM? I'll be exhausted. 10 hours of the dumbest people on the planet calling you tends to do that.

    Curses. Well, hopefully I can catch the tail end of it since it'll be almost 3:30 here before it starts.
