This is what it would look like if there were any fence sitters: [center][b]EXTRACTION[/b][/center] [center][i]Horror Run and Gun RP[/i][/center] City 29 – Civilian Surface Colony What began as isolated and bizarre cases of a fungal outbreak amongst the city's vast population quickly escalated into a full blown epidemic far beyond the understanding of science. The Hangor Organism, designated F737 by the Interstellar Government, was as much as a virus as it was a fungus. Communicated through both human bodily fluids and airborne spores, it spread rapidly and little was done to quell its advance until it was too late. The first responders; police, fire brigades and medical personnel were overwhelmed within hours of the official public admission of a dangerous fungal outbreak. Human rights and laws, strictly adhered to by an adoring populace and an honourable police force, allowed F737 to consume the inner city in a single day. By the time the Interstellar Government managed any coherent response, City 29 was doomed to its fate. Never the less, bound by honour, the High Council decreed that the nearest military force – Battle Group Gamma – be dispatched to the colony at all haste with the goal of restoring order and containing the unchecked spread of F737. With a dozen H Class battle cruisers, an E class Carrier and a host of transport vessels, Battle Group Gamma set about its business. Thousands of troops were landed outside the city's parameters, and an assault was launched from all sides. Supported by heavy armour and mechanised detachments, Battle Group Gamma's Orbital Marines advanced into the maze of streets that formed City 29's suburbs, and quickly came under attack from monstrosities never before documented in human history. Force cohesion failed almost immediately, and the battle quickly descended into a massacre. Realising that the situation on the ground was out of their hands, the Joint Admiralty of Battle Group Gamma advised the High Council of the urgent need to sterilise the City via an orbital bombardment – this advisement was quickly adopted and approved. What was left of the surrounded, panic ridden marines were issued a simple warning: retreat to the city limits and reach the extraction zone within two hours, or be reduced to dust along with everything else. ======================================================================================================================== [i]An APC, covered in the corrosive spores of the slain infected, drives through the deadly gauntlet that has become City 29. The lost and the doomed cling to its sides, hoping for salvation, but it drives on heedless. The marines inside have seen what they need to see, and are stopping for no one. As the APC reaches a cross section in the road, it smashes its way through three intertwined civilian vehicles and in doing so smashes its axle. Unable to steer, and travelling at high speed, the APC smashes into the front of a mini market. Emerging from its smouldering wreck are its cargo: a group of marines desperate to reach safety. You are one of those marines.[/i] [u]Character Sheet:[/u] Name: Weapon: (pick 1) H17 7.62mm Assault Rifle – Basic infantry rifle, with a 60 round capacity. Accurate range of 400 yards. It is of bullpup design, is mostly plastic and therefore light but makes for an ineffective melee weapon. Simple iron sights, no scope. M96 High Calibre Marksman Rifle – Effectively a medium range sniper rifle with a 2x telescopic sight and is effective up to 800 yards. Capable of firing 20mm rounds, it will pierce 12 inches of masonry and can be relied on to put down most of the infected in a single shot. However, it suffers from having a 5 round magazine, and though it is of a semi-automatic operation, it will suffer in a close quarters engagement due to its lack of ammunition. Heavy and made of compound metal, it can be used as a club if need be. T19 7.62mm LMG – Basic light machine gun. Four feet in length, and weighing 30 kilograms, it is a beast of burden. Firing at a rate of 3 rounds a second, and boasting a magazine capacity of 200, it is a sure fire killing machine. However due to its weight, its length and the need for it to be deployed on a bi-pod for effective accuracy (400-500 yards), it is a clumsy weapon for close quarters engagements. Simple iron sights, no scope. All marines are equipped with 2 high explosive grenades.
