D&D 5e – Reign of the Ashlord

Interested in this RP. Just started playing DnD so would be good to get some practice in.

well looks like we have a problem then :(

Happy that everything was in order he looked at the drop Pelican that would be transporting them. Outfitted for high orbit drops it had many pods strapped to the sides and was almost twice the size of a regular pelican, built to drop them in then zoom out. Looking at it he remembered how much he hated Halo dropping. The gut wrenching G force and of course the crashing, that was his least favourite part of it. As he was imaging the idea of plummeting to his death the Counselor walked in, as several of the engineers stopped to salute.

"Good evening Agent Washington. How are you today? Ah. Gearing up for the mission then I see."

Washington turned to The Counselor he wasn't a person to salute a superior, not after what he had seen in the war against the flood. Washington didn't like this man, something about the Counselor was off. He just couldn't place his finger on it. "Good Evening to you too Counselor. I'm doing okay, not looking forward to the Halo drop. Never did trust these buckets of metal we're dropped from the sky in.

The counselor chuckled lightly, looking down at his PDA he tapped it a few times before replying. "We've had some reports that your A.I. may be malfunctioning. Have you noticed anything irregular about it?"

Washington Said yes but what came out was. "No sir, nothing Irregular at all."

"Okay then, we'll keep an eye on you just in case. These A.I.s are experimental, so they may be a little buggy. It's best we squash these bugs before they become a problem." The counselor walked away and out of the shuttle bay. Washington was a loss for words.

"Epsilon, What the fuck did you just do?"

Epsilon appeared looking sheepish. "I'm sorry Wash, I didn't want you to tell him I might be faulty, he'll rip me out of your skull and lock me away again. I don't think I could deal with being alone with it again." Epsilons voice was full of terror now and Washington was getting quite concerned.

"Easy there Epsilon. What do you mean by alone with it? With the other A.I.s? But, you're all separated so why does it matter?"

Epsilons voice cut out and was replaced by thousands of different voice speaking in unison. "I am the Alpha I am who was, I am what was destroyed in pain and suffering I was the First."

Now it was Washington's turn to be afraid. The voices cut out leaving the sound of a woman crying in his head. "Umm, Epsilon? You alright?"

The crying faded out replaced with Epsilon's voice "Yes, why do you ask? Come on Wash, it's almost time for the mission to start. Are drones we that were sent out have submitted a report of the current location of the enemy. Beth is there she is currently guarding the permitter a long with a couple of dozen rebels. However due to the lining of the Reactor room the drone is having trouble telling who else maybe inside the building."

Washington was worried for his own safety now, Epsilon was having some major malfunctions and there wasn't a damn thing he could do. Pushing it aside he would confront this issue after the mission. Opening up the coms he radioed all agents heading out on the mission. "This is Agent Washington to all Agents. The mission is a-go please make your way to the shuttle bay and prepare to leave."

Once everyone was here and on the Pelican they headed out. Epsilons words played on his minds the entire journey up to the moment the drop pods were launched. "Great I love this part." The pod slammed into the ground the door blowing off allowing Washington to exit. He and Virginia had been dropped further away than the distraction squad. "Alright, distraction Squad go make some noise you're free to open a can of hurt on them. Georgia keep an eye on the enemy, looks from here like they may have some Rocket launchers. Okay Virginia we're moving in cautiously and quickly, no noise."

As Washington's squad moved into the facility they met little resistance with only a few guards in there way. "This is strange where the hell is everyone? You would think that this place would be guarded by the best of the best unless this is a trap. But why go to all that trouble?"

@Revans Exile That may be true as to what I said IC the director still wants people to use the A.I.s otherwise your just regular soldiers. This is more of a beta test for the newest super soldiers.

@Revans Exile She signed the form she is legally obliged to keep it in

Before RvB there was; Project Freelancer (Accepting CS's)

@Revans Exile You can't remove your A.i. just because it annoys you. The fact that your character was accepted into project freelancer was because of these A.I, The director wants everyone to have their A.Is in. Taking them out not only removes the point of wearing your armour but also the entire point that your character joined the project in the first place. Granted they did not know that they would have a small super computer plugged into the back of their head, but the brief did say that they would be creating new super soldiers without the downside of spartans and at a lot cheaper rate.

In short. don't take your A.I. out.

Alrighty then if everyone does a post of the preparing for the mission maybe some more interacting we can start the first mission.

@WildCobra@Revans Exile@Genni@SimplyJohn@Argetlam350

@Tracker You finished your character or do you not want to join anymore?

Washington chuckled at the groups replies to his plan, though most did seem to like his idea or at least grudgingly accept it. They were after all, all military so he hope that they would recognise him as the leader and not disobey him. Epsilon was growing worried, watching the A.I. interact with each other reminded him of one of the rules. A.I.s should not communicate with each other. But what harm could it do? Thinking to himself Epsilon faded away speaking to him from inside his helmet.

"They should be careful the Director will not like them all talking to each other. I thought he had hard coded that command into us apparently being sophisticated A.Is we can bypass these rules, but at what cost. I mean Agent Washington the Director obviously had a reason for not wanting us to talk to each other. Oh and about that reactor don't worry about it, your mind can absorb a lot of information and retain and recall it on will. I've downloaded enough information to make you as smart as Einstein in terms of nuclear physics and more computer savvy then Neuman. You should have no problem figuring out whatever is wrong with the reactor."

Smiling inside his helmet he felt weight being lifted. He was no book worm but this A.I really helped out.
"Well that puts my mind at ease thank Epsilon. @Revans Exile Don't worry Agent Virginia I got that reactor covered Epsilon made me a braniac in the field of nuclear physics and computers. You just worry about covering my back while I work on the reactor. I assume then that everyone is okay with the plan? Well with no further delay lets get suited and booted you heard the Director we leave in 2 hours. Dismissed!"

Washington felt like a real general ordering these guys around. Heading to the armoury he trusted Agent Virginia to cover his ass while he did his thing. Loading up on ammunition and checking his stick grenade launcher he heard whispers in the back of his head. "Hello? Anyone there?"

The whispering was inside his head not inside the armoury but it was so quiet he could barely make out what it was saying."No more..."

Was all he could make out, then the sound was gone. Shaking the unease out of his mind he continued preparing for the mission.

Yeah would be nice to know. It's all quiet on the battlefield.
