[OOC] Task Force Hephaestus

[HellHoundWoof]

Well Irish aint moving till Athena does, im kind of relying on her for directions and where we are moving to.

[FourtyTwo]

Not exactly- I mean, the teams have been linked up. Whilst Athena is the fireteam leader of Bravo 2, everyone is still under the command of Huscarl- so when he says they're linking back up and moving out as one unit under his guidance, it's moreover a case of what he says goes and how they're moving. You could just post the engagement of the enemies seen, then moving up to secure the perimeter on Huscarl's orders. I mean in future, I do want to have some reliance on one or two RPers to command possibly an NPC or even to a limited extent, played character within a sub-team. For example, Huscarl is a Captain- that's a pretty rank no matter what way you direct it. But say for example, he might be put into a scenario where he may need to deal with more squads of infantry if he is the highest ranking officer around NATO troops- and it means he can subcontract his squad and all to take command of those individual teams. That may not agree with what you would expect of chain of command and so on, but you may see that later on, that may prove to be the case.

Also, Advanced, if you want to create another character, let me know via PM what ideas you got.

[HellHoundWoof]

By relying on her for direction and movements I mean I'm just going to have Irish follow her. It's not that the picture you've painted is vague I'm just not reading it correctly second languages and all. Anyway Ill work my way around it now.

[FourtyTwo]

Fair enough- reckon you can post up soonish Hellhound?

[HellHoundWoof]

Soon...

[Skythikon]

Wait, so who's up to post next?

[FourtyTwo]

Hellhound, but he hasn't bothered. I'll post up shortly as a result- I'll do it at around 1730GMT or so.

[HellHoundWoof]

Yeah I got wrapped up in other RPs but I did type a post and hit submit not sure why it wasnt up

[AdvancedJ3lly]

On another note, is Rare still in this?

[FourtyTwo]

Nope, he went for some reason- not entirely sure why, but that character of his can be used as an NPC.

[Skythikon]

Just a heads up, I'll be enlisting on the 11th of September, so try to finish up any plotlines involving Mischief by then unless someone wants to help my RP Mischief while I'm gone.

[FourtyTwo]

Thanks for the heads up- there's a bit involving him in this RP, though now I know that, I think I can squeeze a lot out of his character before that happens. That helicopter crew you were working on will probably just about be used before that too, hopefully.

Anyone to post? I may get to recruiting people, just to make up one or two people in this RP and bring it back up to full strength after the end of the Prologue.

[AdvancedJ3lly]

I will probably wait for Athena to post before I post, as she is team leader.

[FourtyTwo]

Reckon you can throw one up soon? I will bring the boom on my next post.

[AdvancedJ3lly]

I should have a post up soon

[Bee]

I loved that little ninja bit xD

[FourtyTwo]

Posted- and we brought not one, but two explosions to the party. There's hopefully going to be a third, just because I think I've never RP'd a Submarine getting blown the fuck up.

[AdvancedJ3lly]

Nice, but could you please clear something up for me? I'm currently a bit confused on the positions of Praetorian compared to Huscarl, Mischief, and the hostiles/camp.

[FourtyTwo]

Praetorian's with Athena- they're about to assault the camp after the Airburst strike, whereas Huscarl/Mischief are about to board the sub to sabotage it. It's hard to pin on a map, but if you go a few posts back, you can look at the close-up map, and you can get a perspective of where stuff vaguely is. If you want to post, I've kept the pacing to some extent that you could have Praetorian start engaging from their position, and take out the remnants of what survived in the camp. Quite nasty, since it might make Linn pissed to be killing injured/incapacitated soldiers.

[FourtyTwo]

Love the post Skythion- I'm actually quite glad someone had a bit more perspective than Huscarl in terms of blowing shit up :D . By the way, the sub is a Lada-Class- the Sankt Peterburg (B-585 in Russian service, just called the Peterburg in CSAT Naval service- they usually have about 38 members, I'd say that only 20 are really on in this circumstance, and most of the crew aren't even on the submarine as a skeleton crew, with most being on dry land when the shit hits the fan. Boring bit of googling for you there). We'll be coming soon to the end of the Prologue, but there is one last little thing that will really kick a sting in the tail before it finishes.
