UFO Fanfiction Discussion

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I'm back. I have my Japanese final this Tuesday so wish me luck. After that, I should be posting much more often. ::grumbles:: stupid school getting in the way of my fan fiction.

 

 

Oh and JFish is prolly gonna get irritated at me for this because it means he will have to go back and alter the sheet that he made, but I'd got a bad case of "too attached to my character," and have decided that Donovan is going to stick around for a now undetermined period of time so JFish, if you could drop his mortality percentage down to minimal if none at all that would uber-cool. However that doesn't mean that other people can't control him.

Rasicar, Donovan's down as "Medium/Owner" so he won't be killed without your say in the matter, so no work for me :)

 

Spaceman42, enjoy yourself and come back after the drugs wear off :)

 

I've been brainstorming another project so very little fanfic work, just sketches of what I want to happen during the mission (basically losing one of our two NPC's to a sniper and the other to the holdout room in the UFO). Oh and my Java game voting ends Wednesday.

lol, read the fic. Trigger and Davies have this long time rivalry thing going on. The fact that Davies has a successful mission 5to his name before Trigger is going to really p*ss him off! Just wait till the smug bugger get's home :) Hell, I'm using that in the fic :)

 

Ki-tat you obviously missed the fact that Rick is still sitting at base talking to Trigger :) He's in squad 1 and the guys on this mission are squad 2!

Okay, maybe I'm just being stupid but wasn't Ki-Tat in squad 1? If so, wasn't he wounded? If that is also true, what the hell is he doing on the skyranger with squad 2?

 

Sorry Ki-Tat, but I'm just getting boggled by the possible continuity error here.

For those of you out there who have forgotten just who is in squad 2 (like I have) I have liberated from the Annals of the discussion the listing of squad members.

 

Squad two is

Kilam Chung (Heavy weapons and temp. squad leader)

K. Green (The G escapes me!)

Cleo 'Poison' Andrews (mean pistol scout)

H. Escalar (No idea on mortality or name but he's a permanent entry)

C. Keller (wierdo with rifle )

B. Dujardin (rifle armed medic)

R.Ross (seems eager to die and has only a rifle so he probably will!)

Gaston Duchante (The French demo expert I hate this guy!)

Norton 'Stick' Wexford (rifle infantry don't ask about the callsign!)

L.Wethers (no idea but permanent member of squad two)

 

 

Now, my only request is that people come forth with who controls who because it shows that L. Wethers is a permanent entry, yet we have not seen / heard hide nor hair of that person. Who controls him et al.

 

 

here are the teams as I've created them since no one else has.

 

Gold Team: (scouts)

Poison

Hiroshi Escalante

 

Blue Team:

Norton Wexford

Kristel Keller

Karl Green

 

Green Team:

Lance Wethers

Tank

Gardener

 

Red Team:

Tip Tipping

Ricco Ross

Gaston Duchante

 

Now let the killing begin. Also, unless someone tells me otherwise, I'm under the impression that this UFO is going to be cross shpaed. If it ins't, I'll edit the post later.

Catching up with 4 new posts and reconciling them with my own plotlines is like suddenly releasing Multiball. :) Good stuff though.

 

Rasicar, I refer you to the character table at my webpage (https://ca.geocities.com/kkoehn3/Characters_Collated.html) which contains squad assignments, owners, character descriptions. For fireteam assignments I would have just reused the assignments from the aborted missions but no matter, I can work with this.

 

Keller has been written as Red although Rasicar lists her as Blue, so if we swap her to Red and Gaston to Blue then the fic as written doesn't have to change.

 

Post in progress. I'll end it outside the UFO and let someone else breach the UFO and end the mission this time, suggesting Ross loses out to a sectoid in the holdout room in the center.

 

I'm going to be touching on panic attacks, stun launchers, and the HWP. (11 soldiers and a HWP don't seem like much in all the confusion, do they?)

 

PS. I've also edited my post in the last mission - that was a disk, this second mission is a cross UFO.

 

PPS. Sasquatch has just posted :) and somebody is going to have to explain a few things to that poor boy. It was funny so I've copied it to his story thread, but it can be deleted from here. Maybe I'll ask Santa Claus for modder powers.

I have another paragraph or two to finish this off tomorrow.

 

I mapped this action to keep it straight. You can see my map at https://ca.geocities.com/kkoehn3/post17map2.html

 

How does "Hiroshi's Heroes" grab anyone as a squad tag to be bestowed by the other squads?

 

Edit: post is up. Interesting digression from Vet, but now back to the action, eh? Green and Wexford are down for the count. No need to wake them up for the UFO entry. Hiro and Poison need to move though.

Snikers - I picture there's still a few aliens in the cross-type UFO that we have to secure.

Do we camp? prox-mine? flashbang-entry? Is the engine room intact?

And we still have one 'expendable' soldier.

 

Pumpkinhead - it's by no means too late.

Best thing to do, read up on Squad 3, e.g. starting at my webpage, as the mission after this is going to be a Terror Mission and they're going to be the ones dropped in the proverbial pile of poop. We may even make it a night mission.

 

Pay attention to where we've mentioned them in the fic so far. I'm pretty sure I posted earlier in this thread about the upcoming terror mission, that might be useful too..

And then remember all the trouble you've had (and the other members have had) with cyberdisks. We're going to need more soldiers recruited after this one, for sure. I've already got a few notes and scenes I want to fit in.

 

I expect the mission will be showing up only 6 or so posts after this current mission ends, allowing some room for discussion and scientific discoveries. (That laser prototype complete enough to allow laser pistol research?)

 

Vet - I've been thinking the most reasonable explanation as to why the UFO crashed is that it fired at 'Grizzly' Davies and got missiled for it's trouble. Either that or a freak lightning bolt, or hit 'clouds with rocks in'?

hmm... rocky clouds eh? That just might work... But I guess from realisms point of view the freak Lightning is to blame :) Oh wait... I mean Hurricane, Gia crashed the lightning :)

 

Anyway, we need someone to actually pull their finger out and post before anything else happens!

Well, I'm going to have to wait until someone else posts as them's the rules.

 

Snikers, have you anything in composition at the moment?

 

Things I'd like to see

- This is squad 2's first attempt to open a UFO door but they remember the debriefing from squad 1

- Hiro take charge more, and get promoted afterwards

- Poison pull a fast one (high reactions)

- Kilam switch from Heavy Cannon to sidearm pistol for UFO entry

- Ricco Ross's death, assuming he dies, makes the survivors more experienced and they can remember this in future tactics (eg. core of UFO also has compartment, or sniper position often by nav tables)

 

-Gaston can make use of the roof to either shoot an emerging alien from behind, or drop into the engine compartment if the roof is ruptured.

 

Edit: Ross also has a stunrod that either he can use, or someone can recover from his body.

There we go! Sorry about the delay. If anyone has anything to say, please do so. This is my first post in the main fic, so it's probably not that good (unfamiliar characters etc) but I'm sure I can improve.

Thats some gap, too! JFG was the last to post, on Dec 19th? What's up with that?
