@Ammokkx@Apollosarcher@AtomicNut@Evil Snowman@Dragoknighte@Gate Keeper@DarkRecon@Jasonhero@l0ck0n First, an announcement that I'm working on the next post. It's huge, so you may have to wait a bit, but I now have a pretty good idea on how to do it. Also, Surprise surprise, it's voting time. Between Ariin Sorus and Zim Hero, who would be more fitting for a promotion to junior officer? And no, I'm not accepting any other votes.
Edit: These will be the grids for the colonies:
LZ: Landing Zone PDF: Planetary Defense Force L: Logic Gate A: Atty P: Paladin E: Eiswolf C: Caretaker Y: Yeager B: Black Star N: Neo Angel X: X-7 J: Jetto Chosa
Other marks: spoilers
The new trio will have the codename of Doom Squad Dawn Squad, and will have a separate encounter outside the colonies.
@XxLyraxX All pilots in Squad Sigma wear a Solaire plugsuit that not only synchronizes the pilot with their respective Framewerk, but also adds concussion protection, emergency life support and micro-jets for the boots for quick travel. However, since your character comes from a military installation in a different planet, the design may be different to a reasonable degree. It depends on if the appearance will be a picture with mentioned custom suit or a written description.
@Jasonhero As a separate unit sent to protect one of the lesser colonies. Then as the first casualties on the main squads happen you get orders to back them up.
@Ammokkx On a second thought (and after conversing with AtomicNut), I'm also favoring this idea. Looks like the kiddy team will have to survive on their own.
@AtomicNut That's also an option, though I want the new pilots to be involved beyond "Oh this place isn't getting attacked, go help out the big colonies". Clusterfuck time here we go.
Though Nazr expected one of the brutes to draw the attention of the hounds, he still sighed in disappointment when the Aahari's boisterous motions roused them to attack. Nazr counted on catching the hounds unaware, as his speed could not match up with theirs; even if he were to successfully sneak up behind one with his cloaked scent, they would run and jump around too swiftly for him to catch up. But Nazr had another idea on how to salvage the soiled situation. He read a passage in the Tome of Eldritch Lore wth a silent tongue, and around his form coiled around shadowy tentacles, surrounding himself in their grasp until he was one with the darkness.
Having turned his visual form to one with the Abyss, Nazr then set out, sneaking past the pack of ravenous beasts as they growled and bit at his comrade. Then having gotten a fair distance ahead of the two battling forces, he fisr looked if there were more mosnters ahead yet to be awakaned to their presence. If there were, Nazr would do the following: he would sneak back to the safety of the backline and dispel his invisibility, followed by a loud, snarly passage of the Tome as he opened his psionic might to take control of the physical world, and hurl two sharp stones at the hounds with the velocity of black powder ammunition. However, if he found he was safe to do so, Nazr would uncloak behind the pack of Piranha Hounds, read a passage from the Tome, and lifted a couple of stalagmites from the floor of the cavern. Then with an eloquent descent of his hand, he sent them falling down on two of the lowly critters, piercing their emaciated frames with spikes of sturdy rock.
Nazr sneaked behind the Piranha Hounds using Abyss Veil and scouted the area. If there were more enemies in the proximity, Nazr sneaked back behind the fgihters and shot sharp stones at two hounds. If there were none, Nazr dropped stalagmites on two hounds from behind them.
