Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I assure you recruit, my PTSD counsellor can vouch for this too, once the research team is done with captives, there is little more than a wet m-
Recruit, may I ask, have you seen the first series of the television series Breaking Bad?
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
Hey man, if it tastes like steak, I don't care if it's Muton or Lobsterman or what.
Actually lobsterman would probably be pretty tasty. Make you grow up big and strong, with a carapace nearly impervious to Earth weapons!
"Unlimited Barnacles"
Yum.
And the barnacles spoke, too.
INSIDE YOUR MIND.
Man I don't remember that at all. By the way, you still taking those vitamins they gave us? I keep getting them like clockwork. Taste like flintstone vitamins. The docs here seem really bug me to make sure I'm taking them. Must be vitamin c deficient or something.
Nothing wrong with a nice muton chop dinner.
Aw man, you get doctors?
Wait, that's not a typo?
No wonder the meat's always more tender than I'd expect.

Screw that rifle BS.
Just gonna charge into action. Pretend running in slow motion. Firing indiscriminately at anything that moves while doing my best action movie impersonation.
I'll need someone to help by setting off well timed explosions with grenades in the background.

Okay, this kind of attitude? It is not going to get you to Mars.
He's joining as part of contact team Terra, whose job it is to die in the field long enough to let Ultima and Ratio send the best and brightest to mars.
Unless this soldier somehow gets 100+ in every stat, I doubt he was ever going there

I think Rank was going to cram that with blow.
But...but... I was gonna play "Holding out for a Hero" in the background.
How could I not be a good choice for Mars?
Apparently, Rank's not planning on staying around long up there, assuming his current rate of increase in consumption stays somewhat steady, that'll only last him a day, maybe a day and a half. Coincidentally, that's approximately 14 hours longer then the ammunition is expected to hold out once hostile contact is made.
Because you didn't opt to play Mars, the Bringer of War by Gustav Holst.
You could have even been singing along while you were prepping/landing!
Sorry for the late report sir. I was trying to get some of me fellow potential recruits drunk. Hopefully they'll be too wasted to report in so I can steal their place in line.
That and the "We're all going to die! ... Might was well drink" set in.
I will take vengeance for the fallen.
Edit: 52 pages in to thread 2! I have spent ALL my time on this and it's great!

We apologise for the secretive nature of this assignment, but as you'll soon discover, some things are better left unknown. Hopefully, for you this will be yet another long deployment where you sit around doing nothing for long periods of time and never see action. I know that's what I'm hoping for.
Due to the risk involved in this project, we can't reveal much about the nature of the work you will do here. However, you will be assigned equipment on the cutting edge of technological achievement; weapons and armours unlike any found elsewhere on Earth. You may choose between the proven reliable Laser Rifle, or the newly researched Plasma Rifle.
Did I say the Laser Rifle proven reliable? Obviously, that's just testing. X-Com has no other deployments and no record of combat engagements. And no scientific research team, either. This is all third-party industro-military complex prototypes, based on known scientific principles. X-Com is everything you see here. And by 'here', I mean only those things you have clearance to see. Don't try and enter the door marked 'Hyperwave Decoder'. The... uh... the high radiation levels will probably kill you.
Why is the Interceptor designated Interceptor-5? And the transport Skyranger-3? Uh... It's standard military counter-intelligence protocol, to throw off possible espionage and intelligence agents. Did you know General Patton was put in charge of a fictitious army before the Normandy landings, stationed at Dover and told to drive around looking at the coast of Calais? Same theory.
So, if there's no further questions, I will take you on the tour of all areas of the base that you have the clearance to visit.
This is going to be......messy

I had a speech prepared for this. Well, two, but one was written during, well, a dark time, sir, if I'm being honest. The language makes "Son of Sam" and "The Big Lebowski" look like Disney movies.
The other is a little more inspiring and somewhat less likely to end in suicide. Think that one's a better choice.
Ahem.
Again, do NOT ask for the other speech.
I mean if we're going to die on another planet we might as well do it with a hangover
Too bloody right we will.
I'll bring all my scotch.
Yes thats right. ALL OF IT.
It's been a while since my last pre-suicide mission drunk, and we didn't have anything decent back then. Just seaweed moonshine.
I'll bring cigars as well.
First, plasma sounds way cooler than laser.
Second, when dealing with inexperienced recruits, there might be a little ah...friendly fire. So it's safest if the biggest weapons are in my hands
...safest for me I mean.
Requesting a plasma rifle, sir
I can't wait to kick some ass out in the field! Hoorah!
Requesting a plasma rifle sir!
They even had rubber ships in the harbor. It's one of coolest spy stories ever.
Co-incidentally, that's also how I do my drinking! I will definitely join in the binge, and in fact, I happen to have a small bottle of... something anyway. The guy I bought it off of said it would "wreck my skull", so I guess it's alcoholic?
Request a plasma rifle, sir!
...
Plasma Rifle, please :winky:
