Just so what I've posted IC is clear:

Termonen - guard position by road

Michaels - guard position on roof of grain elevator

Ortega, Ferro & Steinhoff - search team 1 checking the garage and security building

O'Brien, Morgan & Williamson - search team 2 checking the two grain elevators

Aleksandar - talking to the woman to find out if any of Lada's dead guards have families local to us

Young & Low Blow - finding somewhere to bury the dead

Catchings, Fox, Meyer, Benucci, Friedmann, Babicevs & Mulcahy - having wounds checked etc by Catchings

Anyone going to interrogate the prisoner Michaels and Eikki brought in?

Read the note at the end of my last IC post as Ortega - he's assuming that JJM will do it.

And Varis, Frank and Oskar don't have much else to do once Mike's looked at their wounds.

It'd be nice if somebody actually had the skill too.
Anyone?

I'll be amazed if we've got any character amongst us who's got even a point in Interrogation skill as I don't think that anyone has the right kind of background to have access to the skill.

Anyway, how hard can it be <G>:

 - JJM asks the prisoner a question.

 - The prisoner refuses to answer.

 - Varis stands on the prisoner's wounded leg.

 - Repeat....

Anyone can torture. The skill is in sifting through what they say, and pickup up on certains points of truth.
Hate to say it, but I think this is a job for Lt Boswell.

Remember, not every skill has been declared by the PCs.

In reply to Eikki Termonen (msg #981):

Agreed (even though he'd disappeared before I first joined the game).

Update on the tasks that we need to do during "downtime":

 - interrogate prisoners
 - bury the dead
 - explore the compound more thoroughly
 - deal with the intact canisters of gas and the damaged ones (just in case one of them just has a minor leak)
 - repair the hole we cut in the wire
 - get details of the vehicles with batteries removed
 - inventory the gear/equipment in the compound to work out what is useful
 - check the bandages on anyone who was wounded prior to the battle (doesn't Oskar need stitching up again?)
 - recharge batteries
 - find out what happened to Lt. Boswell
 - find out details of Wright's mission and details of the "rewards"
 - find out more about the missing ammo ship
 - build up stocks of non-perishable food

Can anyone thing of any others?

Well if there are any volunteers please post IC.

I will get a post up tonight to help out.

US AN/PRC-139 Tac Radio added to my character sheet from the list of recovered items.

I presume both Eikki and Michaels will be relieved at some point? It's bad practise to leave sentries in place unrelieved for more than about an hour (their minds tend to drift from boredom). Trained snipers on the other hand (who do still get bored)...

OK on the Ak's thanks for the help.  Sticking with the AK-74.

OK, Ortega wants Frank to get checked out by Catchings.  When he's cleared, which direction do you want him to go before I post to make it simple?

Disregard my last post here.  I decided to actually read Ortega's post all of the way through.

Couldn't resist. ;)

Fuse, sorry for being out of the loop. Set up a new business and spare time is rare. Will aim to catch and post tomorrow.

Will is the gunner on the Bradley i think?  So i think Will will look over any maintenance issues with the gun/missile/whomever the mechanic is and see if he needs a hand.

I'm kinda new to the game, so it could be we dont have the Bradley with us?  If so young Will will do as directed (sentry duty, run errands).

Of course.  Fuse has indicated that some time (days I think) will pass so it was only really relevant to roleplay through the initial sentry assignments.


We don't have the Bradley anymore and once we work out if any of the vehicles in the compound are worth having then Will and Felix (the most recent Bradley driver) and anyone else with mechanical skills will certainly be looking at vehicles.

We need to secure the compound first however so Will (as one of the few unwounded people) is stuck in grunt mode for the moment.  Sorry.

No problems.  Will is enthusiastic about even the mundane jobs.

Hopefully amongst Lada's vehicles are some that we can make use of!

He was running a business that repaired vehicles so hopefully there's something decent.  I doubt that he'll have anything like an APC but he might well have some trucks and jeeps etc.

Based on Ferro's IC post I've added a task to do at the bottom of the list of tasks that we need to do during "downtime":

 - interrogate prisoners
 - bury the dead
 - explore the compound more thoroughly
 - deal with the intact canisters of gas and the damaged ones (just in case one of them just has a minor leak)
 - repair the hole we cut in the wire
 - get details of the vehicles with batteries removed
 - inventory the gear/equipment in the compound to work out what is useful
 - check the bandages on anyone who was wounded prior to the battle (doesn't Oskar need stitching up again?)
 - recharge batteries
 - find out what happened to Lt. Boswell
 - find out details of Wright's mission and details of the "rewards"
 - find out more about the missing ammo ship
 - build up stocks of non-perishable food
 - recover and decontaminate all gear left by the forklift

Can anyone thing of any others?

Fuse - I'm sure that you're aware of this but just in case you're not we need a new OOC thread at some point soon.....

no worries!

Also, Frank is going to switch out a 5/45-round magazine (RPK-74) and takes a FULL 45 round magazine from the pile of gear just found.

GM - Done

Fuse - do all of them have helmets?

In reply to Luis Ortega (msg #998):

Only Aleksandar has a helmet.

Fuse, when Mitch gets back from St. Mary's I assume that it's ok for him to replace his combat jacket and shirt (that have probably been cut to pieces judging by the number of wounds he had) from this gear?

Thanks.
