Sparta Command HQ

[Skanky Burns]

Peaceful? You mean like a non-lethal fight?
I agree.

[Jamski]

/me flexes his really quite over ridiculously sized muscles and raises two fists the size of jeeps *

Mano e mano?

Does everyone who joins have to take part in RP, or is it acceptable to join mainly to learn SMAC strategy first-hand?

[Maniac]

Any reason to join is acceptable. This is a voluntary effort, so you can contribute as much or as little as you want.

I'm glad about that, as I've never really been much into RP stuff. I think the Drones in the last game were supposed to be less about RP and more just about the game, but by the time I tried to join it had just about ended.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

Who's in command here?

[Illuminatus]

I believe Jamski is

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

Sir Specialist Ogie reporting for duty!

Sounds like you are already at your task DJ Geo.

I haven't given a big welcome to GeneralTacticus and Frankychan yet:

Welcome!!!

Oh, and in answer to Maniac's question, I'd be willing to handle Foreign Affairs. I never did like Internal Affairs that much (I never had the patience for all that micro-management), but I'd be willing to give diplomacy a go.

Ah that's great! I also like your idea about worm protection.

Jamski:

OK, let people vote during their millitary service, but unable to hold government positions untill after they have proved they are tough enough. How does that sound?

If we're going to be Spartans, we can't have greenhorns in charge

Sounds good.

If the Spartans can prove that there would be great roleplaying involved then I might join....
Er, sir

Proof? The Spartans have to prove you nothing, citizen. It is you who has to prove you are worthy enough to join the Spartans. On the ground! 1000 push-ups. NOW!

Welcome Specialist! We can always use talented people like you.
/me hands Ogie the mandatory pair of black boots and sunglasses.
I can already smell the discussions about infantry transports.

I'm sure Jamski will soon drop by to give you a more proper welcome.
/me looks down on all the soldiers doing 10000 pushups.

[GeoModder]

CORRECTION, SIR, 30000 PUSH UPS, SIR

24322... 24323... 24324...

shhht, don't blow my cover...

[Jamski]

/me strolls backwards and forwards in front of the new Spartan recruits, former SS Unity security personel, private bodyguards, enraged libertarians, pro wrestlers, mercenaries and other flotsam. *

At ease, Spartans, Soldiers and Citizens!

/me waits for Geo to reach 30,000 before continuing*

All you are gathered here today to show you're tough enough, to show that you are determined enough to join the Spartan Federation. You all have a love of liberty, of FREEDOM, to do as you want, not as some pansy lefty pinko tell you that you should, and you are all prepared to fight for your SURVIVAL and for your RIGHTS!

There will are your families and children in these colony pods too, and it is our DUTY, and our RIGHT to defend them!

Forget what those soft Morganites say about setting up an ecomomy. This Planet is HOSTILE! First thing we do is set up a perimiter. Or do you want to watch your kids eaten by mindworms?

And forget what those hippy fool Gaians say about lovin' the bugs. I am NOT loving any alien worm critter that is trying to eat my brain. I am blowing that worm away, hell, its my RIGHT to blow it away.

And forget the Angels... they call themselves a faction, but they're fools. With no police how do they want to maintain order? With no weapons how will they protect themselves? I just pray they're as rich as Morgan himslef, 'cos they may need to outsource some BACKBONES, is what I hear.

So comrades, soldiers, Spartan Citizens... Be proud to stand up for what you believe in and keep your weapons loaded.

Carry on with the training, men.

/me hands cigars to the new arrivals *

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

SIr, I was informed by Tac Ops we would have secure comm channels. I am led to believe we have been infiltrated and future missions maybe comprimised.


/me adjusts glasses and black trenchcoat

[GeoModder]

/me approaches Sergeant Jamski

SIR, PERMISSION TO SPEAK, SIR

* Jamski nods

SIR, RUMOUR IN THE BARRACKS IS THAT CADET OGLETHORPE IS BEHAVING SUSPICIOUSLY, SIR

* Jamski raises an eyebrow

YES SIR, HALF MY PLATOON SAW LAST NIGHT CADET OGLETHROPE ENTERING WEAPON STORAGE, SIR

* Jamski dismisses GeoModder

[Jamski]

Cadet Oggie!

Ah good man, you have extra weapons!

YOU THERE GEOMODDER! I want to see you help Oggie carry these grenade lauchers and test them

/me opens a private comm channel *

Use that weed Geomodder as a target. If he fliches, he's a spy.
