I'm in. Quick question, what time frame where you thinking? About the same as the games or earlier?
@Gunther I'm not sure I get what you're asking.
I'm game; also would aetheric (energy/laser) weapons be a thing in universe, eventually?
Gerad



As the attack bored in, Resistance reinforcements arrived to drive them back. Two heavily armed and armoured figures were at the head of the push back, one of them with a familiar voice cut into Legion comms. ”Oi Beakie,” Gerad called out as a hostile went down. ”Was wonderin’ when you’d stop slackin’ an’ join us.” The other heavy armour seemed to be taking a page from the Militia, with the heaviest armour you’ve got, let your enemy dash themselves against you. Like Lito’s new suit, his armour seemed rather…basic…by Garundin standards, but he was willing to admit that might just be his own biases talking.

In short order the Apocalypse troopers realized the odds where leaning against them and decided to fall back to their perimeter having lost several suits, and their pilots for no real gain. Gerad took a few more potshots at the fleeing enemies before pulling back to his own lines, making a move towards Lito and his friend as he did. ” ’Avin’ a nice vacation?” He asked, with an amused snort, as he came up beside Silas. Looking up at the two ‘newcomers’, he studied their armour though his own sensors. Bah! Guess it s’all right f’r alien tech, but I could take ‘em…
Gerad


Gerad listened to the comms as Cyne and Ducaliea made their way in and began to sow their brand of havoc amongst the enemies in the second line. While they did that, and the rest of them waited with the Resistance for the right time to move, he busied himself with some more repairs to the Chimera.

As the power armoured thugs moved in, he was moving out. ”KRAK ‘EM LADS!” He hollered to the nearby Resistance fighters. ”ANY ‘OW TAGS ME BUYS TH’ DRINKS!” Despite their nervousness about the on coming fight, quite a few of the fighters laughed. Saving his dwindling PRP shots for the tank, he flashed laser fire at the thugs from behind his Barrier, sweeping the beam in arcs to try and tag them. Like the last batch they’d fought, these power armoured enemies where faster on their feet that one would normally expect, and the armour was tough enough to take glancing blows from his VLA.

Before he could really start to go to work, a voice cut into the company comms just as a mass driver punched a slug straight through one of the attackers. This seemed to be the signal for the Resistance, because as soon as that happened, they poured forwards unloading on the incoming hostiles. A second suit went down under autocannon fire from the power armoured Resistance leader after an anti-armour crew had gotten a good hit in themselves. Another suit juked madly to avoid the fire from the Resistance push and brought himself right into a perfect shot for Gerad.

The target window was only moments, but that was enough; the VLA struck a flex joint in the armour’s torso, and in moments burned through causing an overload while at the same time disabling the computers. Instead of the plasma flair from the overload venting outwards, the damage made it vent into the armour. In less than two full seconds, the target was nothing more than a vaguely humanoid shaped pile of slag; this was all a moot point to the pilot however as the penetrating VLA beam had bisected his heart and killed him before the armour had even blown up.
I considered making Harper post-war born...but the thought only occurred to me just as I was about to post the CS, and was too lazy to back track.
@datadogie For my own 2 cents, I like her...and I'm mad at myself for not thinking of the magazine/wallet...

@Treue Oh should've clarified the water bottle, I meant like a Nalgene (32oz). As for the ammo, I was thinking it was sort of the last of her 'haul' from the police van. (It had a couple of MP5 SMGs, but she traded them away b/c they eat too much ammo but there was a good supply of 9mm for them so she's kept a fair amount, similar deal with the shotgun. The stuff she has loaded into it/carries on her person are 'meh' Tube reloads; the rifle rounds she found later...she tries to scavenge as much as possible to avoid spending her mil. spec. ammo). That said, I can cut back on that stuff if you want.
@Treue Edited sheet, sorry, forgot about the one gun. The knife is simple Tube made affair, more intended as a took; if she finds she needs a melee weapon she prefers the crowbar.
