Ah, Hetros! Good of you to join us! Maybe you can go first, since Richards, Simmons and Fitz are *still* arguing and it's been 20 minutes.

The lazy gits.

Could you amend your Name to be [1-D-P] please, as you are our first player tonight?

[Players 1 / 7]

Sure.

[1-D-P] Hetros wisely abandons the fired shell casings on the floor - they're unlikely to be worth much unless the Company really hits the red. And although they're close to Broke, we're not quite there yet.

The Reiken Repeater is a wonder of modern ballistics, and fires 3 shots with one pull of the trigger - each with slightly less calibre than they'd otherwise to prevent the barrel from overheating or the magazine from exploding.

Looks like Rookie Hetros ain't so much of a rookie. Any actions you up not to use on your turn can be prepared - preparing is, in itself, not an action.

But you can't prepare to "move" though. Just set up shots in case you're wondering, or specifiy what to do wen you turn a dark corner.

>Also, while rendering, my entire system crunched in on itself. I have now restored the map from a back-up although we lost the lovely decals. To prevent this happening again, I've taken some... measures.

[3-D-B] Fallen Child turns around a corner, sees a man in blood splattered clothing and does the reasonable, logical thing - he stabs him right in the throat. The man bleeds out wit a gurgling croak.

CompanyCommand: "Stars above, I think they've... oh god, they've painted the walls with their own blood! Shit! If any of them starts glowing, fill 'em full of lead!"

Atticus Drivel, after rushing, arrives just in time to get a shockwave to the face, a rush of warm air, a blowout of dust across their boots and to chuck a few bolts at the last standing enemy.

They bounce off.

Bolts don't do much damage.

They're meant for triggering environmental traps or distracting people.

Damn good throw though, damn good.
