Pumpkinhead Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Well,even a modified Skyranger can't be called "Heavily-Armed", but a modified Interceptor can...which is probably why it blew up so fast... But a Plasma shot in the back would be lethal unless he had Power Armor, which is unlikely since everyone else died at the crash...so I must assume he haddifferent Armor since he had the highest rank...poor guy... Modified Interceptor? Armour?? :dontgetit: I think you missed the twist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 lol just slightly! I must confess I didn't spot the twist. (Not until the end I mean. I didn't miss it completely) Although the whole thing was striking me as very superheroey until I realised what was going on. Obviously it wasn't but hey I don't know if you could have done anything about it so good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 hey,not bad! pretty good actually. nice short story. Well,even a modified Skyranger can't be called "Heavily-Armed", but a modified Interceptor can...which is probably why it blew up so fast... well, a skyranged can certainly be called heavily armoured. does that save anyface?

FullAuto Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 JFG, as far as I can make out, ExTrA is in the last stages of operation, it's mostly completed the process of shutting down. The next bit of fic concerning the SAS lads is going to be a mission for ExTrA, then I imagine they'll naturally migrate into the ploy of X-INV and then to X-Com. The cast will get bigger, no worries on that account, and there most certainly will be a few bodies left lying around. Not all of the will be SAS though. As for Tolstovitch, I figured there'd be a gap for him to go round with the X-INV/X-Com recruiters and at least have a small say in the soldiers the bureaucrats were picking up. As the head of training, I thought he'd want to at least be there and see the quality of the recruits. I had him not say anything at the meal because I thought he'd be jet-lagged, sick of associating with suits and just wanting to get some food down his neck. The SAS lads weren't recruits, so he was keeping his mouth shut. He wasn't being paid to convince them that this was a cause worth fighting for. Zager, I understand you not wanting to change anything about your character's background, if you have the slightest problem with your character in my fic, just say so, mate. I'll take him out, no problem. I apologise to everyone for using their characters, it was rude and presumptuous of me. I thought I'd write a fic, scanned the character profiles for the first suitable characters, and wrote it. I didn't do it to hack anyone off, I was just hasty.

The Veteran Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 have you read the UFO fic? You really need to know what people's futures hold before you write any more methinks... It'll just flow better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I'm about halfway through reading it. The next bit of fic I'm writing for the lads concerns a job for ExTrA just before it shuts down. Then they'll move into the employ of X-INV and then X-Com, and, unless anyone has any objections, X-Com "Agents" that find bases and various other stuff.

FullAuto Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Cheers Vet. I'm writing the second piece now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Very nice The only problem you have comes from trying to provide such in depth descriptions of the location. You have a house with an upstairs about four times bigger than downstairs by the sounds of it! And speaking of stairs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Arses. Thanks Vet, you bloody pedant! Seriously, thank you. I had to edit the house description because it was too long, and I kept re-reading it 'cause I knew I'd mucked something up. If anyone else has spotted any errors, please speak up. I'll take care of the lack of stairs now, and the third bit should be finished by today too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellyfishGreen Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Brilliant. And thought-provoking. Thank goodness for Jock there was only one. Please please write in our fic. :inlove: ---"No, Mr. Mulder, we do not have an organization called X-Com, that woman was never pregnant, and those SAS soldiers have not 'disappeared'." The MIB limped to his desk. The SAS sure knew how to tackle, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Thanks JFG. I do intend to write in the fic. I notice there's a terror mission on the way? Hmm. The next bit will involve the lads working for X-INV, after giving their be-suited friend a dressing-down, and then they'll slip naturally into being X-Com agents. If anyone has any comments, please feel free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skonar Posted April 5, 2004 Author Share Posted April 5, 2004 Only just been arsed to read this thread. I am so kicking myself for not doing it sooner. EXTRA MIGHTINESS TO YOU, FULLAUTO!

FullAuto Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Skonar, you did a little "Data Canister" bit on an abductee with an implanted alien embryo, and basically kicked off the idea of the story for me. A bunch of newly recruited agents, sent out to bodyguard an abductee, none of them with any clue of what's going on. Cheers mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skonar Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 Ahhhh. Okay. Yeah, well, my objective is achieved! My worldview of X-com being allc overt and paranoia, rather than ACTION AGAINST ALIENS, is starting to prevail... Heh heh heh... I wanna read more! These SAS chaps' discovery of what's going on is good reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 The doctors usually don't like me getting this excited as it disturbs the other inmates. I mean patients. Great story and another breath of fresh air into the vision of the XCOM/XINV organization. PS1- wouldn't that be "in the closing 'months' of 1999?"2- nice sidelink to Enforcer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Thank you! I'm working on it now, it's a bit of a struggle not to race off ahead of the main fic, but I've managed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullAuto Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I'm sure you'll find time, Vet. You're just in time for the beginning of the next section, too. Good timing that man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Classic Anyone who can get to Brize norton in an hour is my hero It took me 5 hours to get to St Athan but then that is right on the south coast of Wales... Came pretty much straight past Brize Norton on the way if I remember correctly. Personnel Training and Command Headquarters or something special isn't it. I love the first line... I don't know if you noticed while you were writing it but "what are we waiting for?" "Or Eete oo et ack." Try telling me that doesn't sound like "For ET to Attack" Brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
