You, the highlighted marine, are standing in the cramped interior of a dilapidated Drop Pod from ~16000.
Planetfall is in about 2 minutes, and you can hear the air rushing around the pod outside already.
Well, what's your name? Better say your prayers before you touch down.

Wait. Hold on. Hold the phone.
I can't seem to decipher that drawing. No offence, I tend to not be able to figure out pencil sketches very well, but what is that?

It's a small group of soldiers standing inside a small drop pod.

Jesus loving- well, it's your parent given name, just hope that nobody knows it in this detachment.

[Tomcat]

A comms relay squeaks to life inside the pod. A scratchy, female voice booms out,
"Planetfall in 3"
"2"
"1"

"WHAT THE forget WAS THAT"
"REINFORCEMENTS"
You smell burnt flesh and hear enemy fire fly by. You obviously can't stay here, and cover is limited. You could make a dash for the building behind you though.

Then do that dumby.

[Tomcat]

You duck inside that building with a few other soldiers. One soldier with a heavy weapon covers you.

Turns out covering from where the enemy has a direct line of fire to you is a bad idea. Well, atleast you know that they're close.
What do you do? You have a rifle, some stuffty armor, and a bunch of special forces goons. Oh, there's a few vents around you, but it's a risk, you don't know where they lead to.

[xxxxkill]

Dude they're like right there just poke the rifle out into the hole and spray some Febreeze down there.

[Tomcat]

Your commissioned officer steps up, throws the body of your dead comrade to the ground, and attempts to return fire (he's probably the only one with any experience, he served in the Colonial Conscripts a while back.) Unfortunately, he's cut short by a plasma bolt, which barely misses him. You step up behind him and return fire.

Jesus. What a richard you are. Because-

"You idiot, you shot a loving civilian. Good job pissing them the forget off!"
"Well, it was an alien, right?"
"Yes, it was, if want to go shooting civvies do it after we've taken out the loving soldiers."
