    There is a pause for a few moments and what sounds like a keyboard tapping away

    "The deal is quite simple Mr Fresser, What we are offering to you is a starter Payment package we give to all new operatives who want to work or do spots for 3rd eye news. I have checked all your backgrounds out so I know who you are. Your all fresh off the boat from meny which means this isn’t as important as I thought it was or else they'd have sent higher level Ops to deal with the situation. Unfortunately for you Mr Fresser that changes things slightly. Don’t assume I NEED you Mr Fresser you need me allot more than I need you. There are hundreds of operatives out there that are dying for the chance to get their faces in the spotlight so let me just make that plain to you before we start. This is not a negotiation. If you were higher level Ops then I might have been more accommodating"

    She pauses for a moment

    "Now I will of course forward you on contracts after we agree on pay terms. Station analysis usually monitors SLA Ops channels so anything we agree to will be legally binding even though it’s an oral contract for now you have a record of this conversation. Our standard terms of agreement are you escort me and a camera man into the area we film what ever we want without questions. You are paid for any "action" shots which involve you fighting and any on-air time we shoot of your squad But not until after i get back to 3rd eye news we need to analyse the tape and the footage of your squad in action to see if any of your mission is actually worth showing on the holo-vision. 3rd eye WILL NOT pay money to operatives who'll be sitting around on there asses all day doing nothing im sorry thats just the way television is.

    If either myself or the cameraman are injured during the mission your payment is forfeit. I cant give you a total now but good shots of your squad in combat or any jucy bits of information we get on film you will be paid and paid well for usually around 100 credits per op if its good quality and quantity. You will also recieve payment at the end of your mission for any information you are willing to divluge to me you will have to go on record your statement will be used in the news report."

    The sound of rustling paper can be herd

    "If you provide me with the following information and it proves to be true we can pay you substantially"

    1) What is the Nature of the emergency on level P3 and why are you as operatives here?
    2) What was the explosion 10 mins ago
    3) what caused the explosion
    4) was anyone hurt or killed in the explosion
    5) why is the entire parking facility sealed off

    Would any of you be willing to go on record for an interview to give all these details for me for an extra 75 credits

    I'll give the first operative to give me the answers I’m looking for 50 credits per question answered above its not a team effort here who ever answers the questions above first with truthful and correct information and gives me the interview gets the money. That’s the deal take it or leave it.

    First things first in order for any of this to go down i need you to authorize the shivers to let us past the barricade there not letting anyone through. Once you do that then we have a deal.

    I'll be waiting for your response

    ===============================

    Ok folks since 3rd eye have dropped off coms it now gives you a chance to talk amongst your self’s (or not) if you want to leak information of your mission to the press all you have to do is PM me the answers to the 5 questions above and weather or not you want to do an interview with 3rd eye. First one to do it gets the money. If no one leaks info to the press then that’s ok too.

    If you want 3rd eye along to film you then in your next post in the game turns thread simply mention to the shivers onsite that the chasey lane is to be allowed through and they will let her join you. And I will amend game turn 4 when I post it as appropriate.

    YOU DO NOT have to answer her questions above. You can still let her come along and you might get paid if she gets good shots of your team on the mission (I’ll roll for it)

    Screw it seriously this is a chance to make a splash and get on the vids our first mission out. Hell even if we get no money cos that micjockey gets her hair mussed it's air time and that will mean evenutally sponsour ship and goodies.

    They gonna cover it with or with out our input we may as well have some say in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,021 ✭✭✭Hivemind187


    To Nonn - "Any idea whats waiting for us at the bottom of that stairwell?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    Any plans?

    I'm thinking two teams, one down the stairwell one to the barrier, Barrier team makes a fuss at the bottom with the shivers and draws away a few carrion to let the stairwell team take down the leader?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Seems like a sound enough plan. Where do you want me Tobias? I'm happy to take either route, long as I get to do a little damage.

    Vigo may need to help the wounded so he should go to the barrier, I'm inclined to go with him, as I'm the first to admit I ain't that much use in a melee, I reckon the three of you should be able to get into the midst of the nest, but unless one of you has a cannon on you I can swap out.

    Any takers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    To Hivemind187: "I heard some noises coming from the lower levels, most likely some injured human soldier."

    To all: Either way is fine by me. Let's get on with this so I can collect my paycheck."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,021 ✭✭✭Hivemind187


    I'll go where the most wounded are. Triage 101, if the guys at the barrier need the help sooner I'll go there, if the groaning from the bottom of the stairs is anything to go by though, I have a feeling its source may need it more.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Ro looks from the stairs to the shaft.

    'Right who has grenades and what type?'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    Allegedly we aren't responsible enough to handle grenades.

    here is my two cents

    Vigo and Ro'weena take the ramp.

    Nonn, Eglon and myself take the stairs. We can alter it on the way but that shiver squad isn't going to survive much longer if we keep on talking.

    Agreed?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Sounds like a plan, let's get moving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    How about using the shiver squad as bait? That shouldn't cause any problems regarding the payment for our services. If need be then we can also use the news crew as bait.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    We can NOT us the new crew for bait.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    Why the hell not?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Ro waits until the echoing sound of her blech fades.
    ( see game thread for details )

    WE screw up or 3rd news make it look like we screw and it mean no money form them,
    they won't cover us again, we make SLA ops and Mr slayer look bad and we will be hunting mutine rats for the rest of our short miserible lives.

    I want the perks that come with not screwing up with 3rd news, like possible sponsourship for better gear to keep me alive, or just so I can get enough money to get you sloshed and have a dna tatoo your forhead saying moron.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    Don't be such a girlpants. We all are professionals and nobody is going to screw up anything. For god's sake, take a risk once in a while!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Alrighty then.
    Oh and it's a kilt not pants ya nonce
    /me injects kick start into qwertz and pounds down the ramp yelling

    "Here Carion, carrion, carrion."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    Women :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    I might suggest we set up a barricade with these Cars, but a stalemate is no good to us.

    Best option is to hug the walls and get around to the fire.

    Eerr Qwertz are you actually going to let her inject you with kick start?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    Somebody has to explain this to poor old me. What exactly is "kick start" in SLA/RPG terms?

    Just so everyones aware there are 5 phases of combat per turn (basically 5 combat rounds per turn)

    If we get round 5 and people are still fighting it goes to a new turn.

    The injection bascially heals you, so if you get damaged in the next game turn you'll heal. If you dont get damaged the drug was wasted on you.

    also once you get injected i have to roll to see do you

    A) become addicited to the drug

    and

    B) roll to see if you suffer any side effects from taking the drugs

    drugs are not nice in SLA, frothers basically fire themselves up on a whole heap of combat drugs turn into a furry balls of rage and unleash their anger on anything and anyone around them. There virtually unstoppable killing machines once they get fired up. The downside is all the drugs in their systems have horrible horrible side effects that you have to roll to resist.

    up to you really. if you think your going to be in combat next turn take the drug and we'll do the rolls and see what happens. if you dont think you are going to be in combat dont take the drugs because

    A) you might need it later once you get inside the nest
    B) the frother only has a limited supply of drugs that im keeping tabs on best not to use them all up to early.

    up to you tho,

    (pppsssttt in case you havent noticed qwertz frothers are a little unhinged)

    /Before Thaedydal can inject Nonn with kick start he grabs her by the neck, puts her over his knee and gives her the spanking she so obviously cries out for.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    AL][EN can you clarify if the above action is happening in the game cos me/ ahem Ro chewing his ear off might not be a good idea while we are trying to clear out a nest of carrion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    Technically he didn't post it in the game turns thread so technically in its most technical form it didn't happen. the comms channel is for COMMS chat only. you cant actually perform actions in the COMS channel you have to post it in the game turns thread.

    Then again you didn't post in the game turns that you were going to inject him with kick start so technically you didn't inject him either. Since were past the point now where you stated you were going to inject him (were at least 1 if not 2 turns after that point) and your now in the parking facility, our judges say the action hasn't happened.

    for now we'll just say you had the argument over COMS until/if either of you actually post something in the game turns thread.

    Thaedydal makes a very VERY valid point. your on the verge of getting to the barricade and only a few turns away from the nest, a brawl now on your first mission, in the middle of a live hot zone with a 3rd eye news crew following/filming you isn't the best idea in the world.
