ParaCom: Horror under the Sea

Center responded to Cho's question with, "Oh yes. We have modified conventional weapons to fire special underwater bullets. If you check the armory, we have very impressive technology. Railguns, energy weapons, we have them all. We'll also have special armor for improved maneuverability and protection in the water as the water is their home turf. They get an advantage and our science and engineering teams are countering that. Try them out in the armory and you'll see our progress."

The orientation had gone smoother than normal. Nothing to worry about as the recruits seemed very promising. Center decided to check with Dr. Quincy and Dr. Semyonov for consultation. "Amphibious weaponry have optimal results. We have managed to modify existing weapon systems to be able to fire both on land and in sea. We have used darts and high-pressure compressed air in our modifications. Further advancements enabled superiority over the systems of the Cold War. Thanks to the paranormal alloys, they can be used in conventional firearms as well though the railguns make optimal use of the darts as they do not need the compressed air."

"What about our energy weaponry?"

"The energy weapons have also been modified to operate underwater, lasers in particular. Plasma weapons were deemed suitable for close quarters battle while the lasers better for very long ranges. It is recommended that our heavies and our assaults get the plasma while the snipers and supports get the laser weaponry once the tougher enemies come around."

"Do you have any alternatives?"

Dr. Semyonov stepped in to make a proposal. "Seeing that the aquatic life is more vulnerable to temperature changes than we are, I propose a system of thermal weaponry. It should be aquatic and land able. It would most likely be in beam form and we can derive the designs from our energy weapon systems. Once we get enemy autopsies, we can refine the idea much further."

Both concurred. "Once the autopsies are finished, let us know."

"We have two or three methods of modification of our troops. First is the WREC Trooper program. WREC meaning Weaponized Robotic Exoskeleton Chassis. Our variant of the cyborg soldiers. Another is the Splice Soldier program. We incorporate foreign, though preferably paranormal in our case, physiology in our troops. The medicinal field both benefited from our discoveries. Last, but certainly not least, is our magic lab from the First Paranormal War. In here, we test to see if the individual is magic capable. The higher the willpower and rank, the more chance of magic capability."

Center remembered Tiffany's injuries. If it weren't for the armor, she would have been a cripple for life. The good news was that she was able to participate in the First Paranormal War. He also partially blamed himself for Milo's alcoholism. War was the sculptor of the 2020s and humanity was a prisoner to the designs. However, this is a chance to break free from the prison. All we have to do is to bring the fight to the bottom feeders.

Center once again answered questions. "Shortly Colonel. We'll be ready." He then turned to the French Squaddie. "If they behave the same as the other paranormal entities we fought during the First Paranormal War, we'll have to be ready for attacks on land. Surely they'd have the nerve to do so around half the time. Also, if their ships rise out of the water to make an invasion for terror, a tsunami may follow. All that water will go somewhere. That's why we will have modified procedures for the bottom feeders."

Back from food. I will surely update.

Polar bears and reindeer

Welcome to the guild! I do hope you enjoy your stay.

Similarly with Squaddie Simo Koski, Center promptly acknowledged the question asked by Squaddie Maya Roberts. "We have improved technology that is designed to be used just the same as the conventional technology. It won't take too long to master it as it is very simple to use. You can thank the brilliant men and women that served as scientists and engineers during the First Paranormal War."

A video popped up as a montage of testings and demonstrations. The ParaCom Medikit in particular was a big improvement to address quick and efficient recoveries. Dr. Quincy, head engineer, was the narrator of the video. "Our new and improved Medikit can efficiently treat a soldier's wounds through the use of nanosutures and high-potency stimulants all while being portable." A spray was needed to heal moderate wounds as demonstrated. "While this works well on mild to moderate wounds, it would be ill-advisable to treat critically wounded. The critically wounded instead are stabilized. Seasoned Support troopers can outright revive the patient. Ultimately, it isn't the Medikit. It is the skill of the user."

"Any more questions? I got plenty of time to answer. Though all credit goes to Dr. Semyonov and Dr. Quincy for the advances in technology we have."

ParaCom: Horror under the Sea

Center promptly responded to Koski's question. "Because of their aquatic nature, their attacks have been mainly from the waters. For that reason, we have made our weapons amphibious in that they work both on land and underwater. Current theories of their weaponry is that the arms they use would be similar to the magitech weaponry we have seen during the First Paranormal War. What we know is that they are a different faction seeking to exploit the power vacuum of the paranormal as well as try to kick us when we're down."

So where are we going to start? In the base, on the way to the dropsite or already in the field?

@Ariamis

We will be first in HQ. Main base in the Pacific Ocean.

Oh, crud. Sorry for missing out, guys. School's been a bitch.

@Derpestein

That's alright. I hate to be a broken record player, but take your time.
