Re: Turn 4
"Two more contacts." Mark called out as the APC's motion tracker started ticking. "All three appear to be converging… about half a klick from here." The tech's fingers danced across the keyboard as he ran through the machine's map log, looking for the Pluto section. "Um… Somewhere around 37.93, -155...

Re: Turn 4
"Ma'am." Mark replied in the affirmative as he pressed the access button for the APC and climbed in. Wedging the hand-held motion tracker in the space between the monitors, the tech continued to read off signals to the teams as he waited for the vehicle's systems to come completely online. The secon...

Re: Turn 4
About ready to head for the APC, Mark's eyes dropped quickly back to the motion tracker as he picked up the faint tone that indicated the acquisition of a signal. "We've got movement!" he called out. "Faint and retreating – that way!" Mark pointed in the direction of the withdrawing blip on his scre...

Motion tracker clicking away, Mark followed near the back of the group.

Re: Turn 4
Great Mark thought to himself as the team entered the landing bay and starting to look around. Back on the creepy express. The technician looked instinctively to his motion tracker, cranking up the sensitivity, figuring a few ghost images would now be worth the value of detecting things the machine...

Re: How can we make the game better?
If we're talking about potential changing game systems, let me throw out Fate Accelerated as well - It's a very low crunch system which in my admittedly limited experience I've found works well for games that start with "So, everyone's a ..." which in this case is USCM Marine. It's also legitimately...

Re: Turn 3
"Right behind you Eric." Mark replied, his eyes quickly falling back onto the motion tracker. Now would be the perfect time for something to jump out at them, after all.

Re: While we wait (mini adventure)
"I got it." Mark said, gingerly moving into the room and making his way to the keycard.

Re: How can we make the game better?
With other boards I've been on, which have had a number of these kinds of systems, and in general we've found that 72 hours seems to be the most effective window for a 'round', with the character being 'skipped' (or NPCed for that moment) if they don't post. Generally it's been 2 consecutive skips t...

Re: Turn 3
"Plague." Mark finished saying a moment later. "Some one printed Plague on the wall in black... paint? That doesn't bode well. Perhaps we should head back for gloves and biohazard masks?"

Re: Turn 3
"I've got a translator on the intelligence unit." Mark replied. "Just give me a second…" Holstering the pistol and motion tracker, Mark pulled out the small terminal that connected to the much larger digital intelligence unit in his backpack. It took him a moment of cycling through menus before he r...

Re: Turn 3
Mark forced himself to breath at a steady, fixed rate as he followed the rest of his squad through the hallway. Being on mission was always hell on the nerves, and being close to the front only made it worse. For the first few moments, however, his nerves seemed to be for nothing, as the cold and em...

Re: Turn 2
Mark exited behind the rest of his squad with his weapon up and at the ready. In truth, it was a cold landing and any enemies would have been picked up by the dropship's systems and eliminated before they exited, but it was policy, training and a safety measure. A few moments later, when they'd all ...
