[TrashMan]

Praise be to Hobbie, the most fabulous of ladypopes.

I demand constant inappropriate evangelism, a lot of explosions, and a reverence for the God Emperor of Mankind.

We worship the God-Emperor with alien blood.

ONLY IN WAR ARE WE TRULY FAITHFULL!

[deathfun]

Everyone wants our corpses

Well, give it to them, they're giving us something we definitely need

^{This was one of I believe three instances in a row}

Commander, Engineering would like to report that we have an additional uplink ready to go

Good, Will be able to give the Council what they're asking us for constantly

Speaking of the Council sir... your presence is being asked for

Commander, there is a matter that requires your immediate attention. There is a VIP we need you to extract safely

Give me the location, I'll send a full team right away

"****, we're being deployed? That's never good"
"We can't **** this one up, the Commander isn't taking any chances"
"DON'T WORRY ROOKIES WE'VE GOT YOUR BACKS"




"Looks like we're coming in a little... hot"
"My humour processor detects an attempt at a funny. That process was denied access. You are not funny"
"..."
"We've got a live one over here"
"Two sectoids! Front and center"



"Oh god... why did I ever bother setting my feet on solid ground!"
"Vitals detect you are panicking"
"YOU DON'T SAY"
"I'm going to get in close"
"Watch out, we've got ourselves a strange one"




"I hear lead is hazardous to your health!"
"I'M OPENING FIRE. OH MY GOD THIS GUN SUCKS"





"Good shot Rookie"
"Hey, what about me?"
"Shut up old man... its on the move!"


"Push the line, Van Doorn is still out there and we can't waste anymore time"



"Hey, I should make his death into a sick new dance move"
"...What?"
"Rookie, get up there and get the VIP out of there. The rest of you, hold the line"



"We've got lots of movement here"
"Overwatch, now"
"GET SOOOOOOME"




"I don't think he likes your hair"
"I don't even like my hair"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY HAIR?"
"Incoming suit guy!"



"Expect more like that"
"Get the VIP to the Skyranger, rest of you keep the sectoids off us"




"A little pissed there Phantom?"
"Do not aggravate me, I nearly had a heart attack earlier"
^{Crack shot from rookie on a reaction here, not bad}

VIP safely aboard Big Sky. Mop up the rest and extract

"Rookies, get me eyes, I don't want to move from this spot"
"Aye"






"Way to have my back Lepanto"
"Ah whatever, you're expendable"

[deathfun]

Because of his mid life crisis, Trashman had decided to pay a visit to the medical facility at the base and request that he was made to look younger. A little plastic surgery later, some happy thoughts and anti-balding cream, he got what he wanted! Now he's still an old man, but looks spry and ten years younger. Show them how it's done back in your day!

This man took his Second Amendment rights very seriously as he was growing up in a little town nowhere related to the United States. In fact, he's not even eligible under that constitution! That didn't stop this man from being a tad too melodramatic about it all though. (There's a hidden reference in his name too if anyone can find it)

A little bit of overhaul was done with Scouting Scotty during her time in Med Bay. Instead of focusing on taking the hits, she decided that it was time to be a little more aggressive. She'll be leading a pack whenever on mission where there is no flank she won't eventually exploit

UFO Contact heading towards Nigeria!

Do we have any interceptors available?

Just one sir

Send it, hopefully it'll be enough

Taking heavy fire! I've got to pull back

Roger that, pull out pilot

Third contact sir

Engage and take it down

^{Seems to be a trend that I will always need to use two to take UFOs down}

Commander to the situation room, Commander to the situation room

Commander, the workshop you requested has been completed. It should make our projects go a lot easier now

Commander to Mission Control

Can't I just sit down and drink a coffee without being bloody called places over and over?!

This is Maverick, engaging the target!

****! I'm hit! I'm hit! I can't take much more of thi-

Get out of there! Retreat!

We lost contact with our pilot...

Was there chute deployment?

Negative sir...

Send the third interceptor, take that bastard down

Looks like it's still in one piece... what are your orders?

Send Big Sky, we'll want to take a good look at this

"Damn Trashman, you look fifteen years younger!"
"He's a young mother****er now"
"Did you steal my conditioner!?"





"Line formation, lets keep this clean"
"Three... no two drones incoming! Three o'clock!"



"Ugh, they're kicking up dust and it's messing up my blush"



"Threat eliminated... guess I have to move up now"
"I see the wreck... my pinky senses are tingling"


"New contact! Wait, where the hell did it go?"
"Everyone keep your eyes peeled! That mother****er just vanished!"
"Hold up... what's that?"
"Detecting only energy. Life form appears not to be carbon based"



"Pick off who we can"
"Ugh, fine, like, whatever"




"Not bad for an old man mother****er"
"Son, I look younger than... wait, man mother****er?"
"Could we focus on this guy shooting me?... I knew I should've stayed at the base today..."


"Hey! Look at me! The big yellow bastard!"




"Calculation error, shot resulted in a miss"
"Yeah! That's right, you suppress the suppressor"




"Somebody knocked the zero off these sights"
"Oh this energy man is just looking to get shot! He's totally trying to take our women"
"I don't think so Patriot... I mean... I don't think so"



"God has sent me to cleanse these demons!"
"Calculations revisited, hit inevitable"




"Moving is hazardous to your health!"
"Oh **** mother****er! There's that hentai tentacle ****!"
"GET HIM OFF ME"




"I'm going to rest here for a moment..."
"Still some sectoids kicking"




"This is what democracy feels like! You're now free from your body!"
"Repositioning. Target acquired, opening fire"




"I am but here for Gods will. I will guide you, my enemy, to Hell for you belong not here!"
"Uh... yeah, okay. Big Sky, we're returning to you, keep the engines warm"

[Gortef]

Looks like we're doing a bloody good job there once again. Our colorful cocktail -that could be called as a team too- is on the roll, and I do hope that roll will never stop.

[Patriot]

What the hell kind of reference did you make deathfun

[Phantom Hoover]

I wasn't piloting that dead interceptor, was I?

[deathfun]

I wasn't piloting that dead interceptor, was I?

Na, you're piloting Raven-1 in Africa
Otherwise I can't justify sending you out on missions as you wouldn't be on base

What the hell kind of reference did you make deathfun

I didn't choose the word melodramatic for no reason

[crizza]

If theres still a place...sign me in, name Crizza, class...something heavy hitting, if possible, a MEC someday

[deathfun]

If theres still a place...sign me in, name Crizza, class...something heavy hitting, if possible, a MEC someday

I've four missions to post, but I believe I've a slot I can fit you in which fits with the Heavy. For all intents and purposes, SPEC Jalaal is you, will think of your personality at some point
He's in bright blue armour and an infantryman

A knight in shiny armour, he's got the looks, the charm and a voice that'll sooth you into his bedroom later that evening. He's everything you could ever want in a man who saves you and carries you off into the sunset. Yeah, this isn't him. This is Guyinshinyarmour. He's just a guy, who generally hates life and those within it. Dark, pessimistic, and definitely not a charmer. His demeanor will make you wonder why he ever bothered to fight aliens

We've got a large bogey on our scanners, what are your orders sir?

Nothing we can do, I'm not risking an interceptor and good pilot without backup

Hold on, looks like we've got another abduction site. Send the team

^{This is the fight of the no name Rookies}
"Phantom, I heard one of the pilots you trained with got shot down"
"The aliens nailed his interceptor hard right off the bat... he was dead before it even began"
"We're all dead before this even began... I'm probably going to die getting off the Ranger"
"YOU'RE REALLY DEPRESSING YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT"

Docks are in sight, approaching the LZ

"Whatever was here didn't stand a chance... look at those plasma marks"
"THEY'RE SO GREEN. JUST LIKE ME"


"Contact!"



^{So many people just couldn't hit the second one. Phantom scores it on Overwatch}


"Guy, head left with the rookies, Rheyah, let's continue through the middle. Rest of you take right"
"OKAY"
"Great... so I'll die before the new ones"


"Wait... I hear something"
"One o'clock! What the hell are those things?"
"IT APPEARS TO BE A MIX OF ALIEN AND TWO ENGINES STRAPPED TO ITS BACK"



"Break his overwatch!"



^{I love run and gun}

"I count three... three more!"


"Oh look, he missed me, probably only works that once"


"Wait... where is he going?"
"It just came down beside me!"
"Great, they can just, I don't know, warp places and ****. Of course"




"Taking fire over here!"
"We've got this"






"Fantastic, of course I miss because I suck"
"Engaging from rooftop! Dammit! Shot wide"


"Whatever, I guess I'll go miss again"


"Look at that, I actually hit him. What a surprise"
"Do you need meds or something?"
"LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE"

[deathfun]

Two in a row, probably going to be a three and a four afterwards. I can't stop playing, sue me D:

You rang Doctor Shen?

Yes I wanted to discuss with you my thoughts on man, and machine...

*Aside*: Whatever, don't care, giant death robots are awesome even if they are partially human

Moving to intercept target UFO... taking some hits but I'm okay... **** this guy is good... dammit!

Get out of there Raven, reinforcements are en route

^{I never quite understood why two interceptors at once isn't a thing}

He's limping Command, finishing him off

Looks like it's still in one *relative* piece

Prep the ground crew

"With us again eh Phantom?"
"All the air action is in North America these days"
"Don't worry, you're an awesome mother****er on the ground"
"They will choose to believe in God or die"
"They will choose to believe in Freedom or die!"
"You two should date"





"How the hell can we see anything through this"
"Believe in Him and He shall guide you"
"I'll guide my mother****ing self"
"Drones in the distance!"







"Was Phantom the only one who killed one?"
"Affirmative"
"...Don't you feel bad for shooting them Droid?"
"Negative"



"*Cough* Oh god... is that... my rib cage?"
"Get back to the Skyranger Makhuba, you're no good to us dead"
"Executing attack"




"Y'all can't shoot for ****! Take this mother****er"


"Looks like we're clear... let's keep moving"


"Stay close and cover eachother"
"We've got Sectoids to the West!"



"Patriot, work to keep them from flanking us"
"They will never destroy our rights to be here!"
"I actually think we're technically trespassing"


"I'm in a real bad spot here..."



"Incoming floaters!"
"Oh ****. Patriot, Dioppe, Trashman, get on those floaters"


"I need suppression on those Sectoids, keep them pinned. Jalaal/crizza, move to flank!"




"You just killed the suppressed one Phantom..."
"Oh I'm sorry, I'll just let that one run around alive instead"
"Got the floaters segregated"


"Moving into flanking position"


"****! Outsider!"
"My Hand of God will deliver unto him the faith"


"We're out in the ****ing open"
"Soothing engaged. The probability of being shot only 47%"


"I used to be a lead farmer mother****er! Here's some of my crop!"



"Sarcasm module activated. See what I was saying? Perfectly safe"
"God will protect us"
"Outsider is taking his shot"
"God will protect m-"


"Hobbie? HOBBIE?"
"...God... will not... allow my death... so quick...ly..."
"You mother****ers!"


"Suppress that bastard! Keep his ass pinned!"



"Floaters are still floating about over here"
"Kill them already then"




"Double tap you fascist bastard"


"Looks like he's not a fan of you crizza"
"I'm supposed to not be the one getting shot here"





"For Hobbie"
"One floater still around"
"Get your mother****ing floating ass off of our mother****ing planet!"


"Yeah *****"

Proximity alert! Close the hatch! Close the ****ing hatch!

"Taste the Freedom!"


"We beat the British, we will beat you!"
"You're not even American"




He fought with faith behind him. He delivered Gods will to his enemies. He will not be forgotten.
...His spirit will live on

[NGTM-1R]

I would like to express my annoyance I'm not attractive enough for the tentacle monsters.

...my wife is a bad influence on me.

[Phantom Hoover]

based on recent events i would like to lodge a request with the cybernetics lab to have all my limbs replaced with jet engines asap. we cannot allow ourselves to become complacent in the face of this jetpack gap

[deathfun]

I would like to express my annoyance I'm not attractive enough for the tentacle monsters.

...my wife is a bad influence on me.

Do I even want to know?...

based on recent events i would like to lodge a request with the cybernetics lab to have all my limbs replaced with jet engines asap. we cannot allow ourselves to become complacent in the face of this jetpack gap

Cybernetics lab won't be arriving for another oh, month and a half? It'll be even more interesting depending on how long it'll take to amass enough Meld to make it so

What do you mean we don't have anything available right now?

We've been getting hit constantly in that area sir, we just don't have the interceptors to take down each contact

Dammit... alright, let's hope it doesn't cause too much damage

"Can't one of the other guys take care of the abduction? I just got back from recovering from fatigue"
"YOU SPENT MOST OF THAT TIME DRINKING COFFEE"
"Anyone want to heard this sick drop?"





"Construction site, this is a first"
"Scotty, take NGTM and two others, head right"
"Your outfits clash with mine, I don't like it"



"Three floaters near the jiffy john"
"...I'm not even going to touch that one"
"I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY"





"Typical, they're shooting at me"



"Easy pickings, the kind I rather like"




"Thin men down in the pit"



"Ugh, of course. It's like my aim always gets worse after moving"
"Three more contacts in the pit!"





"Oh god what is this ****... my lungs burn like hell"
"Agh, of course!"



"Let's put these aliens down like a beat"



"Uh... did that rocket even do anything Rheyah?"
"I LIKE EXPLOSIONS"





"God dammit, I had just got the pink perfect"




"This is for ruining my outfit!"


"Last one is on the move"
"Lighting him up"


"Who's kill was that?"
"No idea, I think it was Bailey's"
"Mmm... Bailey's..."




Obviously I tend to let my snipers get as many kills as possible, I have a certain affinity for them. Specially when things go bad and I need to retreat from a position

[Gortef]

Hobbie, nooo!

[Hobbie]

No! I am the first to die!

Somehow I knew that was going to happen.

I wish to be rebuilt into a giant robot, please. Grab a rook, stick him in a Dreadno... MEC and go to town. "I am Davian Th... Hobbie. And I shall be your death, alien."

[deathfun]

The fact you were in smoke and he one shotted you annoyed me

As for the request to have your body transformed into an abomination, I might consider that as a tactic to bring you back... making you less than human

Might be a long while though. Research takes 1/3 to half a month to complete and those days don't pass by quickly in Long War.
Meld collection is also a little bit of a slow process, but I'm doing my best

[DireWolf]

Volunteering if there are any more spaces. Battletech references are encouraged 
How does Long War affect base building? Like, do structures have different benefits or significantly longer construction times?

[deathfun]

Increased build time, increased cost, decreased effects on uplinks, no engineers given for workshops or labs (otherwise those two are pretty much the same)

As for space, there's plenty. I've only got half the amount of troops named

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that obviously the aliens hate Canada

Must've been mad at the Maple Syrup shortage. Man, could you imagine if that was why this war was going on?

This is Voodoo Three Seven, moving in to engage the target... these folks are terrible shots... Fox One... Fox Two... solid hits, looks like she's going down... returning to base

Keep the satellite tasked to the crashsite and send the team

"Welcome back rhyming mother****er"
"I had enough time in bed, so it's time to kickass instead"
"Oh it's good to see another good looking woman with taste here"
"Hey, what about me?"
"You're always covered in... filth... from your plane Phantom"





"Alright, we've got another UFO to sweep and clear, let's keep the mistakes to a minimum this time"
"I never make mistakes, that's how I keep such healthy body and mind"


^{Half the mission was spent moving my guys up to the UFO with nothing to show for it}

"Command, we've found the crash... but I don't see anyone"

This is Big Sky, we're reading something out there

Squad, make sure your flanks are clear

"We've got enemies inbound!"
"Here we go, Gortina, keep that rifle steady. Pena, fall back to the line"







"We may as well be taking a piss, most of us had a miss"
"High probability shots. You all just suck"



"Someone update your firmware to include an ego?"
"The fascists are on the move!"




"Hot plasma to the face, not something I'd like to embrace"


"Remind me not to piss her off"


"Not bad old man"
"Didn't even need my glasses, what's your excuse?"
"Your lack of patriotism disturbs me"
"Where's the Outsider? I want to personally say hi"
"Unusual energy signatures detected"



"Hi you bastard"


"Moving to flank this mother****er!"



"Meet Fury mother****er!"



"That's it? I did my hair all nice for only an audience of five?"
"Honestly Gortina, I don't think they notice anyways"

[Phantom Hoover]

based on recent events i would like to lodge a request with the cybernetics lab to have all my limbs replaced with jet engines asap. we cannot allow ourselves to become complacent in the face of this jetpack gap

Cybernetics lab won't be arriving for another oh, month and a half? It'll be even more interesting depending on how long it'll take to amass enough Meld to make it so

well then slather me with meld and rub me against one of the jets DAMMIT MAN WE DON'T HAVE TIME

[BLARGHER]

You know, I don't think you could have gotten further from the truth with me. And I love it mother****er.
