Vangarian posted:Zedd posted:OOC: I didn't realize that I was 16's superior officer! IC: "Absolutely, Colonel. Why ever would you think that I would not cooperate and be obedient and not rebellious and antagonizing?!?!?" OOC: You aren't. I'm just s****** with your head. Colonel Decker has been advised that something's wrong with you, that you keep thinking and acting like your a Colonel in rank. I was going to play it like you we're remotely, though unsuccessfully brain washed by VanDeCamp into doing his bidding and stealing the Carbon Death container. But the brainwashing as it was didn't fully take, and so you were tromping around like someone who was suffering with delusions of grandure and all that. If it had fully taken you would have stollen it and done everything in your power to deliver it into the greedy little mechanical hands of VanDeCamp. But alas...the best layed plans of mice and men...often go astray. This is why Decker is treating you as an equal in rank and former Captain Alpha-16 was humoring you by being subservient to you and treating you with dignity, while encouraging you to tend to the patients when things started going bad for the team as a whole. I'll have to put a 2nd entry in a little later on, as I'm strapped for time. But rest assured I'll be introducing some new bad boys from a little known colony on Mars that is populated by decendents of some of the highest ranking monsters from WWII's Nazis SS who's ancestors escaped to Antarctica and successfully repelled an attempted assault by none other than Admiral Byrd's Naval Task Force back in 1946. Nuff said.

Vangarian posted: OOC: Actually, John Doe could very well find himself realising that his headphone set for his music downloads were tampered with and put two and two together and come up with some one from Luna acting as an agent on behalf of VanDeCamp. Say for instance that you had to have your head phones replaced due to a staged accident resulting in your headphones replacement along with some strange dreams while you were in deep sleep enroute to Mars. Just a thought to consider as part of the plot. I mean who knows what you might find in that headphone set that you just happen to drop and some unfamiliar parts come tumbling out. Hmmm? Would you like to take it in that direction? I think it would be an interesting turn of events and a new direction for John Doe and then there's that interesting black and white only vision that John Doe has except when he sees something very important in color only say those unfamiliar parts that come tumbling out the headphone set. Interested? You might also find that such hard work could lead to a real big promotion for John Doe too. Either way the story is about to turn into a pursuit tale soon and John Doe is going to be vitle to the story.

Vangarian posted: OCC: Alpha-119 is being reassembled as you approach. From the opposite end of the makeshift surgical room comes Colonel Decker the commanding officer of the rescue operation with Captain Alpha-16 in tow. IC: As Decker, Alpha-16. "As of now Captain Alpha-16 consider your rank elivated to Lt. Col. This is a field promotion since we are at war. If you are able to fulfill the following assignment you will be promoted to a rank of full Col. Stand by as we interview Lt. Alpha-119 in case we require you for interpretation and any other assistance. "Yes sir," replied Nimrod. Col. Decker accessed his uplink with Martian Military Command and issued the required orders to promote Captain Alpha-16 to Lt. Col. Alpha-16, then he looked your way. He had the kind of eyes that made men flinch when he looked at them. They where gray and pearcing as they locked on you. "Colonel Doe," he said matter of factly. "I could wish with all my heart that this meeting with you had been under more civil curcumstances, but allas we are not in civil times. I will need your help in my interview of Lt. Alpha-119, concerning what took place before, during and after the incident at Hebe Chasm. Can I count on your cooperation?"

Alpha-119, concerning what took place before, during and after the incident at Hebe Chasm. Can I count on your cooperation?" OOC: Alpha-119 is a downloaded personality of Master Chief Technician Kato in an IEC Dragoon's Biopod. He will also have the memories downloaded from Kato as well, including the ones when the both of you interacted before he did the download into Alpha-119's "Meat". Alpha-119 will still have the memory of offering you a cup of coffee as Kato after the dressing down that you were given by a very irrate Nimrod, after ordering him to open the container, sniff and taste the deep frozen sample of "Carbon Death", etc. IC: "Ahem." Colonel Decker clears his throat and arches an eyebrow at you in anticipation of an answer. Tag: J.D.
Vangarian posted:IC: What I want you to do is be on hand during this interogation and debriefing with Lt. Alpha-119/Chief Master Sargient Ken Speers. So as to be a familiar face for him to relate to as far as his Ken Speers' personna is concerned while Lt. Col. Alpha-16 will be the anchor and reasurrance for both Alpha-119 and Ken Speers at the same time as well." Col. Decker turned to the assembler unit that was dutifully refitting Alpha-119 back to full combat readiness. "Doctor Epstein. Reinsert his biopod and stand by as I'll probably need you for a second opinion on his psychological fitness for duty." Doctor Epstien complied. "Yes sir." The biopod was reinserted and the optics came back on with intelligence. "Col. Decker!" Boomed Alpha-119 as he snapped his head around taking in the entire room's vista. "I've been off line for ten hours twenty two seconds. What are your orders sir?" Dai Wu swiveled his antennas back and down behind his shoulders. A sign of receptivity. Col. Decker stepped foreward. "At ease son. As you can probably discern, you're in a makeshift surgical unit with no small amount of improvisation thrown in. After you engaged the enemy for about a good half hour, you managed to rack up a good accounting for yourself. You took out twelve of their Burroughs to your one self before they slowed you down with a shot to your biopod. Nice shooting on your part by the way. Lt. Col. Alpha-16. Would you be so kind as to relay to Lt. Alpha-119 the pass word so as to ease his worries, please." Nimrod swiveled his antennas and transmitted the pass word to Alpha-119. Dai Wu visibly relaxed and reverted to an at ease stance. "Lt. these people are here to help assist in locating the item you and Chief Master Sargent Ken Speers were in the process of transporting to the meeting point north of Hebe Chasm..." OOC: After three hours of interegation and debriefing, the search for the special cannister turns up nothing but a set of inhumanly large sized foot prints with a rather large stride of six feet. This appeared to come from the direction of Hebe Chasm to the improvised fox hole were Ken's burned body lay. The tracks then moved off a short distance, then abruptly ceased. Ken's body was promptly bagged for autopsy and later, a heroe's burial. Col. Decker thanks you all for your assistance in being there for Dai Wu/Ken Speers who you realise was going through a very emotional ordeal due to him carrying both personalities on board his biopod. Lt. Epstien suggests that Dai Wu should have the option to scrub Speers' personnality from his memories if he ellects to do so. You concur with her suggestion in your report. Though you also suggest that it would be prudent to keep a copy for review in case it comes in handy for clues and such. It's four hours later after the initial interrogation started and you, Nimrod and Doctor Epstien are having coffee inside the large captured saucer that belly flopped onto the ground clear of the combat zone. The Marine and civilian Techs are crawling all over this thing and are practically ignoring you three as they record and take notes on its technological secrets. You've brought along your favorite musical player which you are listening to with your miniheadset and are sipping coffee while the three of you wander through the saucer's large interior. You begin to feel a headache coming on for no apparent reason. Nimrod seems preoccupied with something to do with his antennas as he swivels them this way and that way as though searching for something being transmitted. IC: Doctor Epstien turns to you and asks, "What sort of music are you into Doctor, Doe?"

OOC: I swear, if they were trying to do some kind of mind-warping through my headset... IC: "None. I don't really like music. This thing isn't even on, see? I was just getting a bit of a migraine, and was trying to dampen out all this racket!" OOC: HA!

IC AS Nimrod and Epstien: "I'm wondering if the crew of this ship left some sort of equipment behind that is broadcasting some kind of signal, as I'm picking something up in the 2.6 Gigahertz range and its encrypted," Nimrod spoke softly. "I'm going to adjust my antenna to a directional mode of listening." He turned to a young Marine lieutenant who was working with a signal scanner at a terminal work station. "Lieutenant, is that scanner of yours adjustable to 2.6 Gigahertz?" he asked. The Young Marine turned and saluted. "Yes sir. It is, sir. Got a fresh set of batteries too" "Think you could adjust it to that frequency of 2.6 gigahertz and do a little triangulation with me?" "Yes sir! Any time, sir." "It is directional correct?" asked Nimrod. "It is indeed, sir," he replied. "Give me a direction for that frequency, won't you?" "Yes sir," he responded. The Marine's scanner beeped as it was turned and increased its rate of beeping as the direction alligned with Lt. Doe. "Sir I have a lock on the head of Doctor Doe, sir" "Hmmmm..." Nimrod turned to look at Doctor Doe innocently.
Vangarian posted:IC As Nimrod: "Thweeeep," whistles Nimrod, loudly. "Marines and techs, please hold up your work please. We need quiet for about five minutes then go ahead and continue there after." They all hold up and stop whatever they're doing. Nimrod looks back at you again and asks, "Doctor could you please remove your head set and with your left hand, extend it away from your head and please allow the marine tech and me, a scan of it."
