Left Ear
This is a special connector
or "jack" that is built into the skull, usually at the base of the head or behind the ear. A tiny receiver is then inserted into the ear and linked to the Headj ack. The combination enables characters to plug into audio, sensory, robot, and computer equipment, including most communications equipment, radios, video systems, radar, detection/warning devices, microphones, surveillance systems, and more conventional items like CD players, television, disc recorders, and so on. The Headjack receives transmissions from the device that is plugged into it and transmits them to the tiny receiver inside the ear. The audio sounds are clear and distinct to the listener, but being implanted in the inner ear, they are so quiet that only the character can hear the message. Even creatures and devices with enhanced hearing are unable to hear the sounds inside the ear. The Headjack is easily concealed by hair or by folds of skin. The receiver is so tiny that it is attached on or near the eardrum and can only be seen by carefully looking into the ear with a light.
The basic system can be upgraded to include a built-in radio receiver and transmitter which will allow the character to receive and send radio transmissions as if he were using a walkie-talkie. It is so effective that the character can transmit a whisper, or the voices of other people within six feet of him.
Range : 3 miles.
Increasing the system for long-range, wideband and broadband transmission will require additional surgery, a jaw implant for calibrating and switching channels, a high-powered battery, micro-amplifier, and an antenna implant in the skull.
Range is increased to 50 miles and further increased to 100 miles if an additional long-range, telescoping antenna is plugged into the Headjack.
A system of tiny sound amplifiers, microphones and receivers are built into the ear canal, enabling the character to hear almost inaudible sounds at up to 360 feet away. a few feet away. This is the maximum range for eavesdropping on conversations. Only sounds of 70 decibels (e.g., the sound of heavy traffic) or louder can be accurately heard and the location pinpointed from 500 to 1,000 feet away.
The Amplified Hearing also enables the character to accurately estimate the distance and location of the sound source, and recognize specific sounds and voices at a base skill of 35% plus 5% per level of experience. Background noise, such as other conversations, traffic, machine noise, etc., as well as barriers
like closed doors and walls, will decrease the range and clarity of what can be heard. G.M.s should use their discretion and common sense.
Bonuses : +1 to parry, +2 to dodge, and +3 on initiative. Decibel Scale: The following Decibel Scale is presented for easy reference. A 20 decibel sound is ten times louder than a 10 decibel sound, a thirty decibel sound is 100 times louder than a 10 decibel sound, and 40 decibels is 1000 times louder than 10.
One decibel is the smallest . difference between sounds detectable by the human ear.
10 decibels is a light whisper.
20 decibels is a quiet conversation or a muffled noise.
30 decibels is a normal conversation.
40 decibels is light traffic.
50 decibels is a loud conversation.
60 decibels is shouting or a blaring radio.
70 decibels is heavy traffic or automatic gunfire.
80 decibels is loud noise like a subway train, roaring car engine, or rock concert.
90 decibels is very loud noise, like thunder or an explosion.
100 decibels is the roar of a jet engine and temporarily deafening (204 seconds).
140 decibels is a sonic boom, painful and temporarily deafening (2D4 minutes).
[sie=85]This is an ear accessory that can be combined with a Headjack, Amplified or Ultra-Ear, or most bionic and cybernetic ear implants. The filter automatically reacts to diminish potentially damaging sounds with filters and/or earplugs. Sounds are muffled to protect the character from deafening or disorienting levels of sound such as gunfire, explosions, heavy machinery, and painful sound waves.[/size]

Wilk's Ulttra Pocket Laser Distancer • Weight: 4 lbs
• M.D.C.: 2
• Range: 6 miles.
• Bonus: Laser Guided Rockets and Missiles are +3 to Sttrike designated targets.
• Additional Effects/Information: How the LRD-10 works is that it projects an invisible laser beam to target objects for precision, laser-guided targeting. To employ this feature the operator s imply has to look through the optical device, place the reticle squarely on the target, then press and hold the "designate" button. Laser-seeking guided missiles and bombs will then hone in on the reflected beam, impacting on the specified/laser tagged target. LRD-10s are used to guide missiles fired from any launch platform, including ground launch systems (mines and guns), armored vehicles, helicopters and aircraft . All that has to be done is to program the LRD-I0 with the laser frequency matching that of the missile, accomplished using most any handheld, portbl computer.
Moreover, it has a rangefinder feature that works the same as that of the Wilk's FLIR binoculars (gives digital readout of distance, bearing and speed; 96% accuracy) and an integrated recording system that will record images on standard one inch discs (great for confirming sttrikes and bomb damage assessment). Each disc can record up to four hours of images .
Wilk's FLIR Distancing and Recording Binoculars • Weight: 2 lbs
• Range: 2.5 miles
• Effect: This is a second generation FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) optics system that is an improvement over the old style IR distancing binoculars . It is a passive, thermal-imaging system that uses ambient infrared radiation which means that, unlike with ttraditional IR binocs, these binoculars do not emit any infrared light that can be ttracked back to the user. The binoculars also feature a laser distancing module with digital display that provides an accurate digital readout of the distance, within two centimeters, and the estimated rate of the target ' s ttravel (96% accurate) if it is moving . Moreover, this device has an integrated recording module that can be used to record visual images on a standard one inch disc. Each disc can record up to four hours of images .

* Desttroying the head of the robot eliminates all optics and sensory systems. In most cases the robot shuts clown as a safety feature. However, in some cases, about one in ten, the robot continues to operate. Under these conditions, especially if in combat, the robot has no combat bonuses to sttrike, parry, or dodge and shoots wild. However, there is plenty to salvage from a headless robot. and replacing the head returns the unit to full fighting function. The head is a small and difficult target to hit, especially on a moving target. Thus, it can only be hit when character makes a "Called Shot" and even then the attacker is -2 to sttrike.

Birth and Early Childhood
James Brendon Howlett was born in a small town called Wellborn, on the western border of the Coalition State of Lone Star. James’ parents were David and Martha Howlett, they tended a small farm with James’ older sister Olivia. Life was no harder than anywhere else, thanks to regular patrols from Lone Star. James’ father supplemented the family's income by both being a veterinarian and a bit of a local handyman. James’ mother worked the farm and sewed clothes for sale. James’ early education was really rudimentary, he learned counting and basic letters, due to his father James learned a bit of basic mechanics and medical training, mostly from having to assist his father in his duties.
James family suffered a great tragedy. A large raider group came into Wellborn, they caused a great deal of mischief before the Coalition Army arrived and dealt with them. In the ensuing firefight James’ parents were killed. James never found out how they died specifically, the reports from the action were rather spartan. The Military took the Howlett children to Lone Star where they were thrust into the government child care system.
Adolescence
James and his sister were unprepared for the child service system, and had several issues in the early years of being in the orphanage. Even going so far as running away once. James got into many fights while in the orphanage, mostly in defense of his sister. James didn’t give up hope that he would find some way out of the system and to a better life for his sister and himself.
James’ wish came true in the form of an aptitude test. Director Bradford was in search of new bright minds, and looked in many locations to gather them. James scored exceptionally on the test, while his sister scored adequately enough that they were chosen for a special program. This program would educate them, and put them on the path to working with the brightest minds in the Coalition States.
Young Adult/Teens
James took to the advanced education like a fish. He soon was the score to beat across the board, which gave him both friends and enemies. James excelled in each task put towards him, this likely is what shaped his personality as it is today, with his attempt at perfect english and his seeming inability to call someone by anything but their rank and last name.
James’ sister continued to score sufficiently high enough to keep in the program, but it became obvious she was on the low end of the scale. James made every effort to help her, but in the end she wasn’t what the Director was looking for. Olivia didn’t lose out though, she was whisked away by a young lieutenant and married. James missed his sister, but he had so much more to look forward to.
Basic Training
What can really be said of boot camp, you're a sixteen year old boy who is tossed to the wolves with less hair than the day your born. James was abused, battered, and beaten, but all that mattered to him was passing the course. The Coalition States had given him the perfect opportunity to advance in life and be more than a no-name burb dweller who would more likely die from violence than old age. Even through all the hardship James managed to pass, not with flying colors, but enough to get sent to his next course.
Army Technical Training College
Calling James smart is an understatement, there may have only been one man smarter, and his name was Desmond Bradford. James was fast tracked into the Army Technical Training College. Where most recruits took one major, James took multiple, his classmates weren't even sure how he managed it, less than four hours of sleep a night, multiple hours of homework and labs. It was madness, but it was also where James had a chance to excel. His mind was designed for the kind of hardships that ATTC forced it's students to endure.
James spent what seemed to be a lifetime in the schools halls learning medicine, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, cybernetics, and bionics. All of these majors had subsequent required minors, though many overlapped. James may have left ATTC with more degrees that any other student ever. His time in ATTC came to an end when Director Bradford came for James personally. Just another one of his projects coming to fruition.
Lone Star Genetics Center: Cybernetics and Bionics
James was thrust into the world of research and development. James' specialty was cybernetic/bionic systems. His peers saw James as some sort of prodigy, barely out of his teens and already a name in the field. James preferred working on intricate head ware systems that could turn the tide in the war against the inhuman. Bionic brain implants were art to him, and he strived to be a master. James made discoveries that improved man/machine interfaces.
James spent many wonderful years working under the tutelage of Director Bradford, but eventually James caught on to a secret that he should not have. He was worried for his life at the very least. James began to quietly petition the other Coalition R&D centers to see if transfers were and option, but it seemed that Bradford was one step ahead of the young doctor.
The Fateful Dinner.
James was lucky enough to be invited to a dinner in CHi-Town that would be hosting many of the movers and shakers of the Coalition States. James was able to rub elbows with generals and politicians. It was here that he made the attention of two individuals that would change his life forever. James was introduced to Lieutenant Colonel Carol Black, who took to the young Cybernetics doctor like a fish to water. James impressed Lt. Col. Black with his knowledge and imagination. She was determined to have James as part of her organization. Little did either of them know, Colonel Lyboc overheard their conversation and decided he needed an expert like James as a part of one of his black ops teams.
Chi-Town
James was moved to some advanced training in Chi-Town. Here he learned the basics of being a soldier. He received some advanced training in Monster identification, close quarters combat, and officer candidate training. James eked along in the physical aspects, but dealt with the book learning easily enough.
James had some time to see his older sister Olivia. She had married the young lieutenant, now Major David Harrison. James didn’t get along with his brother-in-law almost instantly. He kept cordial for the sake of his sister. James was surprised to see his sister had become a member of the social elite in Chi-Town. James again found he was at a disadvantage, his years of lab work and short stint in basic training didn’t prepare him for the machinations of the political elite.
James received the transfer he was hoping for, or so he thought. Lyboc changed James’ final destination so that he wound up with the CS 221st SOG better known as the “Screaming Devils” James was attached to them at the very end of their rotation as a garrison force in Chi-Town.
Tour of Duty: 221st SOG: Occupation/Police Action: Old Chicago: Convoy Duty
The “Screaming Devils” were sent on a series of Convoy duties, supplying troops stationed in Old Chicago with necessary supplies. The work was somewhat fulfilling, though relatively boring. The occasional firefight occurring, but nothing too dramatic. James learned allot of interesting things being attached to a SOG. James was never sure of it, but he thought that the leaders of the “Screaming Devils” were skimming supplies from the convoys and selling them on the black market.
Towards the end of their tour, the “Screaming Devils” became involved in a major conflict when a surge in Rift activity dumped a swarm of Gargoyles into Old Chicago. Several hours of fighting, brought an end to the threat at a moderate loss.
Tour of Duty: 221st SOG: Garrison Duty: Chi-Town.
James and the “Screaming Devils” were recalled to garrison duty in Chi-Town. James watched as the 221st were given a dose of new recruits that were quickly put through their paces. James spent some of his free time in the company of his sister. Again stumbling about the niceties of political society. James just not a people person, always came off as aloof or rude. James had a singular run in with Colonel Lyboc, during this time. Lyboc was entertained by James’ unknowingness of his part in the machinations.James was glad when the 221st were sent back into the field.
Tour of Duty: 221st SOG: Occupation/Police Action: Old Chicago: Convoy Duty
James followed the 221st into the Ruins of Old Chicago once more. The 221st continued their usual business running convoys into the ruins. Again James was certain that the leadership of the “Screaming Devils” were skimming off the top of the convoys. James did his job with little complaint, enjoying being out doing something. Several conflicts happened while directing the convoys. A wizard by the name of Kallidor Blackmantle moved into the Old Chicago ruins, to use the rampant ley line activity to help him in his mission to bring the Coalition to it’s knees.
The conflict that ensued when Blackmantle sprung his plan was no less than epic. Hordes of demonic entities and D-bees poured out of Rifts. The 221st waged a bloody battle into the heart of downtown Chicago. James was with the team that fought Blackmantle’s Lieutenant a Gallu Bull demon in the remains of one of Chicgao's former subway stations. Blackmantle managed to escape the end conflict.
Tour of Duty: 221st SOG: Long Range Patrol: Great Lakes: Pirate Action
James and the 221st were given long range border patrol. Something new for the group at large. James had finally figured out what the leaders of the 221st were up to, they were selling military surplus to the black market. James kept his mouth shut for the most part remembering his troubles with Director Bradford what seemed a lifetime ago. Intel passed to the 221st found a large pirate fortress that was causing all manner of problems for shipping on the Great Lakes. What the intel didn't say was that the pirates out numbered the 221st ten to one.
The 221st did what they did best, they split into three major groups and proceeded to stealth into the base, sabotage the pirates defenses and transportation. Not everything went according to plan. James was attached to a small squad directed to take out automated weapons systems. Somehow the team got lost in the labyrinthine fortress and wound up confronting the pirate lord and his bodyguards. The fight was vicious, wounds and casualties were the norm. The squad managed to deal the pirates the blow that would ultimately break them, killing the pirate lord. When the rest of the 221st arrived, James was busy giving medical attention to the others. In the official report, James killed the pirate lord, and for that he received the Joseph Prosek Medal for Valor. The commander of the Screaming Devils had found out that James knew about his scheme, so he pushed to have the doctor transferred to keep himself safe.
Tour of Duty: 31st SOG: Garrison Duty: Tolkeen.
James was transferred from his place with the 221st, bringing much needed medical support to the 31st “Marauders” SOG. The “Marauders had just came off of a series of successful raids on the Tolkeen countryside and were given a nice easy garrison duty in the back lines. James spent most of this tour of duty patching up other units, and dealing with equipment issues.
James enjoyed the change of pace being stationed in a large operations base. James became familiar with the movers and shakers of the war, even going so far as meeting General Drouge once in an officer’s dinner.
Tour of Duty: 31st SOG: Combat Zone: Tolkeen
The 31st was moved to a forward operating base, just in time for the devastating Sorcerers Revenge. James and the 31st were hard pressed to find time that wasn’t combat. They were sent to probe defenses across the board. James found the whole situation harrowing, but tried not to complain as it set a bad example.
James had the pleasure of being near Tolkeen when the shields fell and the city burned. James fought like a savage, going so far as engaging mages with only vibro knives at time when ammo ran low.James received the CS Iron Star for his actions. In the end, the Coalition stood triumphant and the 31st were transferred once more to Lone Star.
Tour of Duty: 31st SOG: Wounded in Combat: Lone Star
Northern Lone Star had become a hub for terrorist attacks, James and the 31st “Marauders” SOG were tasked with dealing with a Tolkeen Retribution Squad that had been raiding fuel depots and farms. Intell had been woefully inadequate for the action as usual, making the cell particularly had to locate. Only a few minor skirmishes with what the 31st thought was remnants of a larger fighting force.
One fateful day the 31st was hit hard in a coordinated attack. Of the squad less that twenty percent survived. James suffered grievous wounds when a combat cyborg detonated after taking a direct shelling from a mortar strike. James was found several hours later barely clinging to life, by Psi-Hounds sent to investigate the battle.
James spent nearly two months in a coma, while in the coma Coalition doctors under the direction of Desmond Bradford patched James up. In his spite, he made sure that James face would never be the same. James intimately familiar with bionics and cybernetics had minimal trouble becoming adjusted to his new limbs, and soon was rejoining the “Marauders” in the field.
Tour of Duty: 31st SOG: Long Range Patrol: : Monster Attack, Jonesboro, AR
If anything could be said about Jonesboro Arkansas, it is that the whole operation was a mess. The 31st were sent in to investigate why a supposedly loyal town went silent. While on route to the town the 31st were attacked by Black Winged Devils. The 31st was reduced to three survivors, a combat cyborg named Taylor, a scout named Bonaduce and James. The 110th was sent on the same mission, showing some sort of divine providence or bureaucratic screwup. The survivors were absorbed into the 110th. Bonaduce eventually succumbed to stupidity by taking a defective hovercycle on a nose dive into the earth.
The mission turned out to be relatively straightforward, a spell caster had subverted the population, in hopes of summoning a demon entity to ravage the Coalition States. The battle was pretty straight forward with the 110th being successful in defeating the beast and capturing the mage. The town was brought to order and the communication array was repaired. Upon completion Corporal Taylor and James were officially brought into the 110th and sent on the next mission.
Diary Entries
January 14th 110 P.A.
Due to many constraints on my mind and body I have decided to keep a journal of my experiences as they happen. Starting with today. We have been given a mission to go behind enemy lines, we will be heading to the continent, or island of Atlantis to search for a Stone Master named Sandror Mondul, who is making some sort of magic device that would be bad for the world at large.
I headed into MercTown early this morning to acquire equipment. I left the base with only a black jumpsuit and my utility belt with a sidearm and a vibro-blade. I’ve never felt so vulnerable, not even when facing demons from the rifts. The gate guards were shocked by my appearance, I noticed him flinch when I spoke to him. I got inside with little difficulty and using the map that the guard gave me I headed to the section of town known as The Arms Bazaar. I walked into Northern Guns Weapon store first and purchased a NG-45LP for a replacement sidearm, they were extremely popular during the Juicer Uprising. After Northern Gun I headed over to Wilk’s store and perused there wares. Even though they’re illegal in the states and the shop was being run by a D-Bee, I found it to be a pleasant experience. Once I finished my shopping there I had heard word that a Black Market Outfit was running out of Outriders Armaments. I wanted to pick up a suit of Branaghan armor with the coat that is so popular in Lone Star as well as a Speed Holster for another gun that I want to get. The Black Marketeer is a uncouth and crass individual who though despite his appearance seems to know his job well. After dealing with the black market I headed into the area known as the spokes, a market district of sorts. I stopped in a rather expensive shop to pick a couple of suits, they happened to sell an armored suit that interested me, so I ordered one of those and a regular suit for the time being. A few hours later I walked out of that shop with a custom made charcoal grey suit. I have decided to hit the area mall for a few other odds and ends before finishing up at the MercTown State Hospital for a few more medications that will be useful for my team. The trip to the hospital was pleasant enough, the weather is brisk at best, chilling at worst. Upon entering the facility I was truly surprised that a town, even as big as MercTown has such a state of the art facility. It pales in comparison to the Lone Star Facility, but they cannot be blamed for that. After speaking with the watch nurse to inquire about there pharmacy, I headed over there. I ordered some potent anti-biotics for the group as well as inquired about Qink toxin, a paralytic that may prove useful in the days to come.
Thinking of the events of the last day, I have bought hundreds of thousands of credits worth of stuff. Now this was money given to us as part of an operations budget from the Coalition States, and the people here had no problem with using the charge accounts that I was allowed access to. I wonder If we can withdraw credits to take with us to Atlantis, incase we need to buy something like food and lodgings. I know that I may be able to sell my services as a doctor down there for some quick cash so to speak, but what of the others. When this day is over I still have several more things to take care of for my preparations to go to Atlantis, Corporal Taylor and Corporal Avery want cybernetics and bionics put in and I need to modify the sensor hand that I had installed after the incident. Albeit the parts are already here and awaiting my whims, I’m not sure if my second is up to the job of installing the unusual systems that we have considered putting into Corporal Taylor. Making a human being look like a demon, it almost seems distasteful.
Anyways the hour grows late and I must retire for another busy day tomorrow.
January 14th 110 PA, Late.
The team has captured a mage that Second Lieutenant Von Petra believes will help us in our mission to Atlantis. I am actually against the idea of torture, but the group as a whole doesn’t seem to have it in there hearts to torture anyone in any degree of cruelty. I as usual am on hand for the proceedings, in my capacity as a doctor. I will monitor his health and make every effort to keep him alive. The last prisoner we had Died/was killed/Murdered right after we had gotten most of the useful information out of him. I don’t know what happened for sure but, I do know the results were quite dramatic. I don’t believe I have ever seen that much fear in a humans eyes, even if he was a stinking mage, no man deserved that. Anyways to the moment at hand. The rest of the team has brought in there quarry, a mage of a youngish age if I were to guess I’d say middle to late twenties, human male. He has several contusions to his head and a rather nasty cut to his right forearm. I guess from the initial reports he was bludgeoned about the head and neck by Corporal Genet, Corporal Taylor, and Private First Class Max. After the subject was subdued Corporal Grimmsley had a momentary loss of self control and cut him to drain his mystic essence. Either way I patched the subject up as best I could, and poured some cheap painkillers in him to get him in shape to talk. Second Lieutenant Von Petra was in charge of the interrogation, while I watched over him with my medical equipment, she asked a series of questions that would reveal the precise points that we would have to strike. He seemed to have it in his head to keep those details to himself. I had sat in on a few interrogations in my time so I laid on a story about chopping him up and putting bionics on him. You should have seen the look in his eyes, pure terror. He spilled his guts to every little detail we asked him. Once the interrogation was over I packed my things and headed over to the medical facility. I spoke with the doctor there and learned that he is a veteran of the Tolkeen war. He used to perform surgeries out of the back of a Deaths Head transport, due to having nowhere else to work. He helped me get the new features I had ordered installed in my new cybernetic hand. Once we were finished he helped me prep the two surgical theatres for the work I would do tomorrow. All that being said it is late so I will retire for the night.
January 15th, 110 PA
I awoke early this morning to start my busy day. Bright and early Corporal Avery showed up for his installations. The surgery went off without much fuss, when I was done I put him up in one of the beds and told him to take a day to heal. Once he was done it was off to turn a fine young man into a monster. The work was simple enough and all in all Corporal Taylor took to it like a champ. Though I can’t help to think that he may get a bit of a complex over this. I’ll look into him in a day or two. Tomorrow we head off to Port Houston for the first leg of our journey on the CSS Freedom. From there we hope to capture a pirate vessel and go on to Atlantis. Where we will set up a base of operations and play gladiators. Luckily I get to still play team doctor, and not a gladiator. Either way this is going to be not only the strangest mission I’ve ever been on, but also probably the most dangerous. Well I have some reports to file and a plant to take care of, so I’ll write later.
January 16th, 110 PA
Take off, I have never been one in particular to enjoy long flights, or flights in general. Though it was a smooth ride there I was displeased with the trip. That and the fact that we landed on the flight deck of the ship while it was underway, made me a bit nauseous. We were greeted by the ship's captain, a Commander Dawson, he was polite and offered Lieutenant Von Petra and I refreshments in the ward room. Now I was impressed at the size of the ship, I must have looked like a tourist and not a officer in the Coalition military. The refreshments were pleasant and so was the company, we were introduced to Chief Engineer Holly Lane. While in the ward room we discussed our needs with the captain and he educated us on the finer points of ships. He was concerned about attempting a capture, mostly due to the fact that his ship is primarily used to destroy enemy ships. He offered to give us a crash course on the guns of the ship. I personally could care less about learning the guns, but I do what I’m told, which probably won’t be that. Once we were done the Captain offered to arrange for a tour of the ship for me. We had a dinner that could be best described with bodily noises. The tour of the ship was interesting and educational. I am a bit appalled at the size of their sick bay, but what can be done for the space. We ended the day by gathering on the flight deck. We discussed the current mission and what steps it will entail at the very least. We watched the sun set, and not being much of a writer I would fail to describe it’s beauty. I think I will call it a night, until tomorrow.
January 18th, 110 PA
I had a restless night as the nightmares returned, after a few trips to the head for water and a few sleeping tablets, I managed to get something of a nights sleep. The dreams though are truly vivid, I’ll probably need to see a psychiatrist before long. I visited the sick bay and lo and behold every little issue that the sailors could be having cropped up today. Some imaginary, some real, some minor, nothing too serious, though a few were a bit disgusting. The medics were right cherry folks who have there hearts and minds in the right place. Though I am again shocked that there is no doctor onboard this ship, maybe I’ll ask the captain about that later. I decided to make my rounds in the early afternoon once there was a lull in patients. I first approached Corporal Taylor, I cleared out the sick bay to examine him, and ask him a few questions. I tried to be reassuring, but with a face like mine It’s a hard thing to show. After Corporal Taylor, I sought out Corporal Avery, He was on one of the balconies on the bridge looking out over the sea, if I remember his profile right he is a trained sniper, so it doesn’t surprise me. He let me know that he was okay. The rest of the afternoon seemed rather uneventful, I sat with the Captain, the Chief Engineer, and Lieutenant Von Petra for our second dinner on the ship. I had forgotten what being an officer got me on occasion. We were nearly finished with dinner when several alarms began going off, and an announcement went off that we were being attacked. I later found out it was a giant sea serpent, but at that moment I was rushing to sick bay. When there’s battle there’s wounded. Not long after I got there, the first casualties started showing up. A man had lost his arm, I patched him up as quickly as possible. The medics being extra helpful, these were followed by more after the ship shook from a direct hit. I am fearful of whatever makes a ship this size shake with a strike. We then received a crewmember who had a nasty head wound and one that couldn’t breathe. I left the head wound to the medics and managed to get the crewmember breathing again, he had swallowed a lot of water I found out. I then took over cleaning up the head wound. And like that the fight was over and we had won. Several minutes later I received a private channel call to head up to the CIC for a mission planning session, so I packed my kit and let the medics know that I would be back down a little later. The CIC is like something out of a dream, if I had been asked when I was younger if I would ever be in a command center, I would have said no. Lieutenant Von Petra gave a very convincing plan that to me seems not only simple, but relatively fool proof.
January 24th, 110 PA
The last few days have been crazy, We found a ship that will do for the operation, the fight was short and brutal, and the ship was structurally sound, but the overzealousness of my teammates made a mess of the controls. So we headed back to Port Houston for repairs and supplies. We found a captured Coalition Juicer amongst the slaves onboard the Whitewing as she is dubbed. His name is Sev Ba’ro he was captured along with his squad by a much larger slaver group. I can only imagine where they may be now. We also commandeered a technical specialist from the CSS Freedom, his name being Corporal Joshua Rivers, a talkative and inquisitive individual. Always tinkering or fixing something. On a side note while on shore leave in Port Houston, Corporal Genet nearly killed himself again, luckily he only damaged his new cybernetic arm. I have let him know of my concerns of his constant need to blow himself up. After two days we were back on the open seas again heading for the continent of Atlantis. On the way there we were greeted by an unusual sight of a massive storm front moving in on us. Ironically I was asleep during this time, when I awoke it was morning and we were in a location that I didn’t know of. We lost Edwin to whatever magic of the storm. His things were there but he was not. Lieutenant Von Petra has instituted what I will call the buddy system. Every remaining member will be teamed up with another. I by blessings of rank have been partnered with Lieutenant Von Petra. The rest of the men have taken this new system in stride, with Corporal Rivers and Genet being a team, Sergeant Portlant and Corporal Taylor making up another team, and Corporal Grimmsley and Corporal Ba’ro as the last group. Though I cant say I agree with her allowing the men to select there own partners, it seems to make them happy so who am I to really complain. Once we had a few hours to navigate, Sergeant Portlant managed to find out where we were and how to get to where we are going. We were “Transported” several hundred miles closer to our destination which made the trip a lot easier. Either way it is getting late and Corporal Grimmsley is complaining of a headache, I’ll write more later.
May 27th.
Been a while since I could update this journal. I'll gloss over most of the last four months to make note of my current location and mission. Currently I am back in the Coalition state of Lonestar, specifically in the complex. We've been tasked to retrieve some sort of magical trinket that an Indian Tribe says is vital to Lord Vilargo's (or however his name is spelled) plans. We plan to leave in the morning riding in a re-purposed mark five APC, and make our way to the pre-cataclysm state of Arizona, somewhere south of it's former capital of Phoenix. (Irony of that name... I would wonder if they had assumed it would rise from the ashes of the dying world.) We have acquired two new recruits. A service specialist named Lana Dunbar and a Battle cat named Mane. (where the higher-ups get the ideas for these names I will never know. personally I think serial numbers would be fine.) Haven't met the Battle cat yet, but if he's like any of his other genetic brethren, he'll be likely lazy and less than attentive. S-Spec Dunbar on the other hand has proven to be an intelligent individual, which is a pleasant surprise in the 110th. We are looking into creating a program to translate the damnable runes painted all over the APC.
We've been here for a little under two days, and in that time I have ran into many of the people I used to call coworkers. Major Claval is dour and taciturn as usual. Doctor Santiago was friendly (maybe a bit too much if you were to ask me) and likely scheming. Director Bradford is unreadable as ever, I am uncertain if he still resents my leaving the scientific fold that he so much wanted me to be a part of. I will keep a wary eye out for repercussions, likely sleeping with a pistol under my pillow. I took a tour of the Habitat today and it is much as I remember it, the training continues to grind out more fodder for the endless war against the D-bee and mage. I made a stop at the cybernetic clinic where I did my residence as a medical student. Ran into an old friend, Doctor Myra Bailey, she let me in on some insider knowledge on newer Coalition cybernetic/bionics. We had drinks tonight, it was a good time, almost made me forget about the problems of the day. Either way that gets this relatively up to date, I'll likely write again when the mission is over.
May 28th.
What can I say about today… It was a draining day to be honest, we arrived in Roswell, a town built on the ruins of the previous Roswell, in the pre-cataclysm state of New Mexico. We were attacked by a robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex, that I am fairly certain was man-made versus being some sort of unusual dimensional being. We managed to chase it away with us little worse for the wear. Lieutenant Freeman was nearly killed, but his armor staved off actual harm, save maybe his dignity. We made way to Roswell as I mentioned moments ago and stopped at a place called U-mart. The store is a large warehouse affair; that caters to mercenaries and civilians alike. We decided to go in the disguise mercenaries, I, as always the team’s doctor (of course). I was paired up with Private Grey, I think to make certain I would not get into “Trouble”. We were tasked to find out information on our robot dinosaur adversary and any other useful information that could be gleaned. I smartly headed to the weapons and armor section of the store, for both Private Grey and I’s needs. Private Grey purchased a few suits of armor while I gave into my fascination with firearms and purchased a new derringer and a revolver. I had the technicians at U-mart modify the derringer and my Wilk’s derringer with a hair trigger for faster firing; I also purchased a new quick release sleeve holster, so I can use the two derringers like a cowboy of old. I really should pick a few firearms and stick with them and not carry an entire armory worth of weapons at any given time. I tarry from the quest at hand, the local population, likely uneducated and superstitious were of no real use to Private Grey and I, revealing no information that was use to the mission at hand.
Once our purchases were concluded, all we had to do was wait for special orders to be finished. Private Grey and I joined Lieutenant Freeman, Private Johnston and a local tracker for an afternoon repast. I am willing to admit I miss the south west’s food, the chili was top notch. After some small talk, we were informed that Lieutenant Freeman had gotten a meeting with the mysterious masters of U-mart. As a precaution we kept an eye on the meeting, but it proved unnecessary. We retired to the APC to speak over a contract Lieutenant Freeman was offered, only to find that Service Specialist Dunbar had fled. We carried on after a brief but extensive search for the missing Service Specialist. The contract Lieutenant Freeman had been offered, gave extensive benefits and compensation for capturing or destroying the mysterious robot dinosaur we had fought earlier in the day. The contract seemed benign at best, though I noticed a Doctor named Janet Halstead had attached herself to the U-mart’s medical center. This was a cause for concern as she was murderer as far as I can tell (several years prior, she was tried in Ishpeming, though she was never actually convicted of the crime due to a lack of evidence). I shall make inquiries in the future about it I think.
We have been requested (ordered more aptly) to present ourselves to the local Coalition Embassy. The building a modern marvel in this backwater country, greeted us with open arms so to speak. Once inside, we were escorted to a briefing room, where soldiers from Lonestar came and apprehended Private Johnston on the accusation that he may be infected by a demonic parasite, form our battle at Merc Town a few weeks ago. It is disconcerting that Private Johnston recently became psychicly active, though I believe several things can be factored into his newly developed abilities. In either case he has been taken away to be studied. We have been given a new team member, a Class F Psychic Mutant, which I vaguely remember that precluding to her ability to not only use psionic abilities but also to manipulate other energies. We officers have been given her dossier, and to be bluntly honest I am neither impressed nor happy about this. Leave it to administration to leave the 110th with a potentially threatening ally. Do they not read our reports? I requested several pieces of information, including a reference library on psychics and psionic phenomena (seeing as they are becoming more prevalent in our small team). I also made a humorous connection between an implant Service Specialist Sanders has and a conversation Dr. Bradley and I had a few days ago. She had told me of tracking devices in new commando cyberware suites, and after perusing the schematics and technical readouts, I can easily see where the device is hidden, leave it to administration to bungle a cover up.
I plan on a new series of check-ups to get a baseline on the newest members of our team, to better facilitate medical response if needed. Today is definitely turning out to be a quite busy day. I shall write more later as the day progresses.
Date: ?
The last several days have been relatively hectic. We have achieved great strides in our mission. At the current moment we are retrofitting a newly acquired APC, a Free Quebec model designed for transporting platoons of Glitter Boy power armors. We have begun stripping out all of the amenities of the Mark V and have begun installing them into the Air transport. It shall be heavily armored and heavily gunned. That being said, we have captured, interrogated, and executed the D'norr Devil Woman Mage in charge of the operations of Lord V. From the conversation with the woman The Shadow Warriors are under Lord V's employ at least on the western front. She also was very frightened of betraying her lord, an interesting turn of evens to say the least. I summarily executed the woman with a single laser blast to the head. I had the team incinerate the body for safety reasons. Private Grey (Commendations will be given) brought up the fact that the ancient suit of armor we recovered earlier likely will have a IFF system similar to our own. I believe we can spoof the signal and make retrieving the artifact easier. By the way, one of the pieces of information we have acquired information that the artifact was hidden in a pre-cataclysm bunker. The Shaman figured the automated defenses would keep would be thieves away. There was an issue between the troops the other day that if I had caught it earlier, I think it wouldn't have escalated as such. We had freed several slaves, one of them is a Corporal Maddox. The Nightstalkers may have hazed him to far, Specialist Mane acting as a ringleader of sorts. After a dressing down, I think I have the situation under control. I see at least two more days of modifications before we are finished. After the repairs, we will make our way to Roswell to acquire more munitions and supplies before making our way to the facility to acquire the artifact.
