Re: Turn 5: The Seabed

Sergeant Major Sykes’ voice crackled over the radio. “Okay, people, let’s get ourselves inside. Do not remove your pressure suits. That is a standing order. Even if there is atmosphere inside, it could pop at any minute.” <Tag everyone> Davros opened the starboard airlock and Kelly opened the port a...

Turn 5: The Seabed

minisub interior.jpg The Marines completed their diagnostics and then loaded into their positions. First, the six volunteers were hooked onto the bottom of the minisubs with help from the others. Davros, McKenna, Hall, Grisham, Henniger, and Kelly were all stowed before the others loaded up. The ot...

Turn 4: Suit Up

The Marines had a little over 90 minutes to get used to the tight quarters of the submarine: the narrow corridors where two people had to turn sideways to pass each other, the bunks with roofs so low that you couldn’t even sit up in them. “Captain, all hands are below, all external hatches are seale...

Turn 3: The Tour

The two Russian Marines had a tendency to stick together; natural enough, but in this case unfortunate. Dmitri Barayev was an old sea-hand who had once been the captain of a sea-going vessel on the far off world of Ekylprillion. He went across the gangplank with no hesitation. Tanya Sokolova tried t...

Re: Role Call: Quantum Herald Campaign

Sorry to hear that, I hope you get it sorted out soon. And thank you for letting us know. We will still be here when you have more free time, and I'm sure I'll be annoying you periodically with reminders to come back. (Someone told me recently that I should have been an Army recruiter lol)

Turn 2: The Nehalennia

"Officer on deck!" shouted Sergeant Major Sykes and all the Marines dropped what they were doing to stand at attention. Three officers walked into the room, A Lieutenant Colonel flanked by a Major and a Captain. The Lieutenant Colonel walked into the center of the barracks and returned Lieutenant H...

Re: Turn 1: The Tide of Fate

Sergeant Major Danny Sykes spent most of his R&R just reveling in doing nothing. The previous mission had come after months of shore leave during which he had quit his years old habit of taking morphine. Ever since then he seemed to feel weary all the time, like sleep was pulling at his eyelids. Now...

Re: Final Turn: Revelations

Paulson lined up his shot but PFC. Funker was directly in his line of fire and he didn’t touch the trigger. Davros also took aim but in the dark he didn’t feel confident of his shot. Henniger was situated at a better angle and he squeezed the trigger. It was an easy shot in theory, but in the dark w...

Re: Final Turn: Revelations

The echoing roar of the sentry guns met their ears and everyone flinched slightly at the suddenly broken silence. “What the fuck is that?!” cried a voice from the reserve squad back in the mine tunnel. Morse and First Squad saw two of the Privates backing up down the tunnel before the left-hand Mari...
