[CaptainSully]

I have a friend over from Germany so will look to post Monday evening.

[Oskar DiLondra]

@Zoey White Should I wait a bit for you to post first to respond to the conversation or just go ahead?

[Zoey Boey]

@Oskar DiLondra you go on ahead don't wait up. i'll retroactively respond to whatever whoever says

@Zoey White

The security clearance has expired I think, you may have to add an exception for this site.

[CaptainSully]

Apologies, something came up so will be posting tomorrow now.

[Awesomoman64]

You guys still hiring accepting?

You guys still hiring accepting?

@Awesomoman64

If the CS meets the quota, then yes.

@LetMeDoStuff
You got it! I'll see about having one out this weekend.

[Jeep Wrangler]

Post is now in the makings.

Just so everyone knows, the training session will be run by individuals. Whilst Rainbow explicitly train them in teams, they are expected to know how to work as one group innately from their experience. After Bellagio, many operators noticed that those who were split off could not fend for themselves against larger waves of enemies. Thus, the training session we will look at today will be about them running through the training one at a time (As a way of testing their equipment). All "Group training" sessions will be skipped unless people request them further down the lines. This will stop the RP from being held up too much.

I like how Pravda's is basically the thing that showed up at the end of Independence day when they hacked the Alien's ship.

Anyway, here's the next chapter in Kirill's fun time in Afghanistan.

Kirill's Wartime Tales II

Sgt. Kirill Gusakov
Latvijas Nacionālie bruņotie spēki (Latvian National Armed Forces)
Speciālo uzdevumu vienība (Special Tasks Unit)
International Security Assistance Force
Operational Mentoring and Liaison Team
"Wolverine"

Combat Outpost "Pirtle-King", Kunar Province, Afghanistan
September 2010

They brought Robert out of the medical wing on a stretcher and rushed him towards the medevac Blackhawk that had just landed next to the base, waiting for them. "Hold on there, Dino!" Ozy said to Robert as he followed him, along with Kirill and the medic who were carrying the stretcher and another soldier who held the IV bag above Robert. Other US and ANA soldiers followed them closely behind as they darted through the base. Robert was tightly wrapped in a space blanket, so the only thing he could do in his drugged state was to turn his head toward Ozy and comically stick his tongue out, which was an action he soon regretted when they entered the cloud of dust created by the helicopters spinning blades.

"Stay strong, brother!" Kirill shouted to Robert as he handed his end of the stretcher to the US medics who got out of the helicopter. Smiling and waving with his right hand that he managed to get outside the blanket, Robert was put into the Blackhawk by the medics and was flown off to the field hospital back at FOB Bostick.

What happened to Kirill? Nothing happened to him - the bullets hadn’t penetrated. He was alright, just a little bit worried and shaken. He would also have bruises on his chest for the next few days, not that he would care about them. He never in his life got to find out how it felt to get shot, but that day he found out how it felt to see when one of your guys got hit. And when that happens, you have something to be nervous about.

---

A crowd of soldiers had formed around Kirill and his two remaining comrades who were inspecting his damaged vest lying on a make-shift table while under a shelter from Afghanistan's scorching sun. The said shelter was simply a roof that was built around a corner of two high Hesco walls in the middle of the base, put there by its inhabitants a long time before the Latvians had even arrived to PK.

Still in his sweaty LATPAT fatigues and with a cigarette in his mouth, Kirill began removing the front ceramic plate from his vest. He managed to get it out and presented it to the crowd. Seeing the plate, different expressions could be heard from the spectators: "Oh, man." "Oohh, you were fookin' close there, mate." "Oh, shit!" There were two bullets in the plate, one was right in the spot where Kirill's heart would have been, the second one had hit at an angle, right at the edge of the plate, and had dug in deep.

"Yeah, you were fucking..." John chuckled. "Definitely fucking lucky." A British contractor pointed at the bullet that had hit at the angle: "That's still inner, innit?" Wanting to go gold hunting for the bullet and its fragments, the Brit took out his pocket knife and put his hand out. "Yup, should still be in there." Kirill said as he handed the guy his plate. The other soldiers began helping him.

Ozy felt uneasy. He went to Sao village with Kirill and Robert, but he wasn’t with them when the shooting began. And the contact ended as quickly as it had begun, asymmetrically – as usual. Even worse, one of his men got shot. He still had no clear idea of what had happened. “Kirill, tell me what happened out there? Where was the contact? Was it from long? From the cornfield, as usual?” He asked him in Latvian.

Ozy's question brought Kirill back out of his deep thoughts as he watched the guys tear his plate a new one. Looking at Ozy, Kirill began recalling his memory of what happened: "They were in several positions." Kirill pointed towards the bullets that the guys were trying to get out of his plate. "These ones came directly from the village. You know where the police post is? There was a village opposite it further up the hill. They were hiding in the bushes when they began firing." He took a breath from his cigarette and continued. "They shot from the village and..."

The Brit got one of the bullets out of Kirill's plate and presented it to him. "Here ya go, mate." Picking it up, Kirill said: "You ought to be kidding me." Taking a glance at the PKM bullet, he passed it on to the next soldier. "Shut the fuck up..." The soldier swore as he passed it to John who said: "You better take that thing home with you."

Looking back at Ozy, Kirill continued telling him his recount: "Like I said, they were firing from the village and then they also opened fire from the cornfield. From where they attacked us back in July."

Some of the soldiers noticed that there were some of the bullets fragments stuck in Kirill's vest and tried to get them out.

"Nobody from the villagers saw anything this time too? You couldn't answer back with fire either?”
Kirill was annoyed by Ozy's questions. “They saw. Oh, they saw. Hell, the ones who shot at us were probably the villagers themselves.” The second question actually hit a nerve. "And of course we couldn't fire back, there was fucking no one we could shoot at. You know how they operate; you can't even see them 'till it's already too fucking late." Pissed off, Kirill inhaled another round of toxic fumes from his cigarette.

After pulling it out from the plate, a soldier gave Kirill the other bullet. It was Soviet, high-quality, steel core, too. If they were unlucky, such 7.62mm rounds could pierce the standard plates used by the coalition soldiers. "I don't think that they like you, man." John jokingly said to him. "You think so?" Kirill sarcastically replied as he chuckled. As he kept inspecting the bullet, however, the realisation of how close he was to his own demise slowly crept up to Kirill and he gradually lost the grin on his face. He knew his job was dangerous and that he could die out here. But knowing that was different from feeling it. Puffing out the smoke from his cigarette that was nearing its end, he said: "It's my lucky day."

Kirill then proceeded to walk out of the shelter, into the view of Kunar Valley’s deadly beautiful mountainous landscape. He took a deep breath of the nature’s unfiltered air and listened to the ambience of the far away Kalashnikov gunfire miles away. After this moment, Kirill started sensing everything differently. He saw everything in a different way. He smelt everything in a different way. He heard everything in a different way. And, of course, Kirill felt differently. Maybe the bullet didn't kill Kirill directly, but it did kill the old Kirill Gusakov. This is where everything changed for him. Now Kirill knew why he would be fighting in Afghanistan and why he would keep fighting in Afghanistan in the future.

Kirill nodded to himself and turned back to his multi-national comrades who were watching him. He looked at his watch, then looked at them and sarcastically said:

"Today is September 6th, which, in reality, is actually my second birthday."

And then he smiled at them with his old smile, but, however, it felt different…

Your next posts should all be about moving in and attempting the killhouse alone, utilising their equipment by any means if they can. The task is pretty much impossible seeing as they are against extremely skilled operators disguised as White-Mask terrorists. More to the point, they are realistically outnumbered and can only attempt to get so far. Your post should detail their choice of breach, where they find the objective and what happens inside. Remember, the rubber bullet M16A3's are their only armament, as well as rubber-based handguns.

[CaptainSully]

Awesome stuff. I’ll get a post up tomorrow.

Psych Profile
Klaus became a doctor for one reason; to save lives. He will go to any extent to keep people alive including putting himself on the line. His choice to wear lighter armor in the field is reflective of this as he cares more about getting to his teammates than his own safety. The only exception to such humanitarian beliefs is for groups such as the White Masks. His view of them is in the same way he views viruses and infections; organisms that need to be purged to save the host. It’s this almost black and white ideal allow Klaus to work tirelessly to save one life, while having no remorse about gunning another one down.

When not in the heat of battle Klaus has taken it upon himself to see to his team’s health. He does regular check ups on each operative to make sure they are fit for duty, as well as monitors some of their less than savory habits. This often leaves the impression that Klaus is nosy and prying into business that’s not his, but his intentions are always to make sure the operatives are in peak condition. When not making his rounds, Klaus can often be found at the shooting range of all places. He finds unloading a few rounds reduces stress and it never hurts to practice your aim.

One final thing worth noting is Klaus’ reaction to death; specifically his lack of one. He may take a moment to mourn when a comrade falls, but other than that he will often move on and continue working as though nothing happened. It could be that Klaus feels he can’t allot himself the time as there’s always someone else who needs his care. As a doctor and a rainbow operative, he is always on the job or on call.

The “quick fix” is a 23 cm adhesive bandage coated in a lidocaine solution mixed with epinephrine that numbs and disinfects the area it’s placed on top of along with stopping any bleeding. The flexible material it’s made of allows the bandage to bend, twist, and wrap with ease so that it doesn’t hinder the performance of the operatives wearing it. What really makes the “quick fix” special is the small electromagnetic sensor hooked up to it. With it the bandage actually finds and pulls any bullets or shrapnel out towards the surface in the same path it entered. Then when the bandage is removed for proper care, the wounds are clear and ready to be sewn up. The sensor itself can also be removed and attached to a new bandage making it surprisingly cost effective.

This miracle in medical care has its drawbacks, however. The bandage has to be applied directly to skin and the solution can take a few seconds before it soothes the pain, making its use in an active firefight not very practical. Nevertheless, when the other options are painfully bleeding out or long term tissue damage, most operatives choose to have the “quick fix” available.

Biography
The youngest child of 3, Klaus grew up in a family that was very well off. His parents owned a successful jewelry store and while his older brother and sister fought over who would one day take over, Klaus found he didn't really care for business. Even at a young age his interest was in the biological machine that was human physiology. He was fascinated by the inner workings of of the body and how they were structured. He spent a good deal of his school years focusing on medicine instead of business like his siblings.

Of course his parents didn't mind he wasn't following in their footsteps. After all, who doesn't want their child to become a doctor? They made sure he was able to get the highest education possible. After getting high marks in school, Klaus attended Witten/Herdecke University studying to become a surgeon. It was a private University, so it wasn't tuition free, but the Steinrauf’s could afford it. At least, he thought they could.

His third year at University, Klaus found out his family had been hiding financial troubles from him. Sales had been down the last few quarters and now their main gemstone supplier was raising the price. They’d be able to scrape by, but not while paying for Klaus’ tuition and living expenses. Without any protest, he took over his University payments and enlisted in the Armed Forces of Germany. There he would be able to make ends meet, but also save the lives of those fighting for their country.

His original plan was to stay in the back and treat wounded as they came in, but he soon discovered that wouldn’t be enough. He became irritated at the amount of soldiers lost to injuries that if treated sooner would have made it. He knew he could do more outside the medical tents, and so he requested to be moved to the front. This decision may have saved countless soldiers as Klaus was able to stay calm and focused under pressure, and having a steady hand isn't good for just surgery. There became a running joke among his unit that Klaus could remove a bullet from someone with one hand, and return fire with the other. Most importantly, Klaus felt he was making a real difference. So much so that he remained even after completing his doctorate.

It was around this time he noticed while the use of epinephrine did get soldiers back up and running in the moment, their injuries were still left largely untreated and ran the risk of major blood loss. Of course performing surgery or other advanced treatment in the middle of an operation was out of question. After some experimentation he came up with first prototype of his “quick fix". The early model was a bandage laced in a chemical compound that allowed for fast treatment to wounds without sacrificing proper care. It was a good start, but it still left one factor, the bullet left inside the person. It was a problem he wouldn't be able to solve until 4 years later.

After the attack on Bartlett University, Dr. Steinrauf felt the real threat to his country was in the White Masks and not the insurgents he was currently fighting. This lead him to leave the army and join the GSG 9. There he was able to be among the first responders of any attack in his home. While some were against bringing someone with a military background into the GSG 9, their arguments were quickly crushed when it was reported civilian and operative survivability increased 13% and 40% respectively when Dr. Steinrauf was on scene. These numbers only increased when Dr. Steinrauf met Monika Weiss and Marius Streicher. With their technical knowledge, Dr. Steinrauf was able to develop the last part of his quick fix, a high tech sensor that could locate and extract a bullet or other debris without the use of surgical tools.

In the wake of the Vegas incident, Rainbow found themselves without any field medics. After reviewing his file and getting a personal recommendation from Weiss, Dr. Steinrauf was officially offered a position into the ranks of Team Rainbow which he accepted without a second though.

Are the operators allowed to equip peripherals such as grips and sights or are they going in stock?

Stock. These aren't fully customisable weaponry and are to symbolise "Make do with what you get"
