A RP me and 777 did on the IRC before he got cool and decided to use sites instead of the IRC
*** Specs-Away is now known as Specs
<Specs> hey
<S777online> heddo
*** S777online is now known as Spartan-777
<Spartan-777> i win
<Specs> oh really?
<Spartan-777> Watcha doin'?
<Spartan-777> I covered myself in anti-vehicle mines and chased the server host on CE.
<Specs> looking up something about a game I want to get and nice
<Spartan-777> Red Faction: Geurrilla
<Spartan-777> That looks cooool
<Spartan-777> I'm thinking of starting a Bulldog (Custom Edition Armored Motorcycle, kinda like Batman's) training school on CE. They're kinda hard to control.
<Spartan-777> But once you figure them out, it's really fun to drive
<Specs> cool and yes that game looks cool I am torn between Fable II and that game
<Spartan-777> RED FACTION
<Spartan-777> But in Fable 2, you get Hal's Armor
<Spartan-777> 360.kombo.com/images/content/news/blurb_Fable-2-Master-Chief_11_20081016.jpg
<Specs> I know
<Specs> my friend says Red Faction is fun..and its my favorite type of warfare besides tank
<Spartan-777> lol
<Spartan-777> mmm.... taaaanks...
<Specs> Heavy Weapons=the best period
<Spartan-777> Amen!
<Spartan-777> Give me a 30 Cal and a Rocket Launcher anyday!
<Specs> Machine gun and Rockets work for me
<Spartan-777> We got a nice APC on custom. Primary is a 50 Cal cannon, pinpoint accurate. Secondary is Dual Tank shots. But they take a while to reload.... and they're a bit on the slow side
<Spartan-777> Is Red Faction comin' out for PS2 or computer?
<Spartan-777> Or only PS3?
<Specs> its for xbox as well
<Specs> let me check
<Spartan-777> k
<Specs> ugh I don't kow what to get :/
<Spartan-777> YAY! Computer!
<Specs> lol yeah
<Spartan-777> Red Faction will come out for Windows
<Specs> I saw
<Spartan-777> and PS3, and 360
<Spartan-777> Another Halo game is coming out in 2011-2012
<Specs> yep Reach
<Spartan-777> when the sequel to the 360 comes out
<Spartan-777> I think its going to be the Xbox 720, but i think that's a stupid name...
<Specs> I agree
<Specs> and I hope not
<Spartan-777> lol
<Specs> they are already designing it and everything
<Spartan-777> Have you seen the pre-beta Halo game? When it was originally going to be for pc?
<Specs> nope
<Spartan-777> Why did they take out so much awesome guns?! I tink I saw the Maulers ancestor in there, and the Fuel Rod's.
<Spartan-777> www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tqrfy4SR7I
<Specs> no clue..balenceing
<Spartan-777> Armor was a bit odd thoug...
<Spartan-777> t*though
<Specs> I think I am getting Fable II and mircosoft points not Red Faction
<Spartan-777> The AR had a grenade launcher, i want one like that
<Spartan-777> And there was a Rocket Launcher SPECIFACALLY designed for AA
<Specs> lol
<Specs> *takes a nap*
<Spartan-777> And there were more Spartans
<Specs> that would of been cool but sucky at the same time
<Specs> as they would of stole your kill and probally died
<Spartan-777> lol
<Spartan-777> and the rocket hog? more like a light tank!
<Specs> thats my car
<Spartan-777> ?
<Spartan-777> the light tank hog?
<Specs> yes
<Spartan-777> I show you
<Spartan-777> one sec
<Spartan-777> its cool
<Spartan-777> they blew up a base with it
<Specs> I have seen a picture of it
<Specs> we should do something...
<Spartan-777> oh, with the massive metal shield and gauss cannon-sensor node?
<Specs> no
<Spartan-777> the regular one?
<Spartan-777> with yellow stripe?
<Specs> I think so
<Spartan-777> yeah, that one's cool
<Specs> yeah the stripe one
<Spartan-777> yep yep
<Spartan-777> watch the link and skip to 4:32 to see the light tank hog
<Spartan-777> tlol
<Specs> this computer can't watch videos
<Spartan-777> oh
<Spartan-777> well, what do you wanna do?
<Specs> as its retarded and won't install the Flash Player
<Specs> we should RP something..anything
<Spartan-777> lol
<Spartan-777> tried to think of ideas. but not much luck..
<Specs> same..
<Specs> alright braining storming session
<Spartan-777> hmmm
<Specs> throw anything outthere
<Spartan-777> GOPHER
<Spartan-777> ON
<Spartan-777> A STICK
<Spartan-777> !!!
<Spartan-777> Treasure
<Spartan-777> ... Flying Pirate Ship
<Spartan-777> In space
<Spartan-777> With... uhh...
<Specs> ok sapce and pirates worm
<Specs> *space
<Specs> *work
<Spartan-777> yayz
<Specs> pirates=rebels
<Spartan-777> no
<Spartan-777> good guy pirates. like robin hood
<Spartan-777> lololol
<Specs> lol Spartan pirates?
<Spartan-777> no
<Spartan-777> ...people pirates
<Spartan-777> and... uhhh...
<Specs> lol I hate pirates after my 8th grade play
<Spartan-777> these guys whose link i shall post soon
<Spartan-777> well... eventually... LOAD FASTER
<Specs> try hitting your computer
<Spartan-777> these guys
<Spartan-777> images3.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/a/a8/AlienTrooper.jpg
<Spartan-777> with armor
<Spartan-777> they are helpers of the pirate peoples
<Specs> ol those are some ugly things
<Specs> *lol
<Spartan-777> lol. i know. but they'd be cool with armor
<Spartan-777> Its another mgalekgolo form, like a trooper rather than a walking tank
<Specs> so why couldn't we be rebels as they alien troopers seem like bad gguys
<Specs> amd we would be the bad guys attacking the good guys
<Spartan-777> hmmmm
<Spartan-777> *idea bulb* These troopers are mercenaries. They are a form the covenant didnt want. Why use a trooper when you could make a walking tank? So they joined the pirates
<Specs> good idea
<Spartan-777> yayz
<Specs> but we are pirates fighting the Covenant..sounds fun
<Spartan-777> YES! Better idea
<Spartan-777> goodjob
<Spartan-777> I always wanted to steal covenant tech
<Spartan-777> XD
<Spartan-777> Hmmm.... we need something important to steal from them...
<Specs> general supplies
<Specs> or an artifact
<Specs> or a ship
<Spartan-777> no... something better... a weapon or.... a SHIP! also god idea
<Spartan-777> *also a good idea
<Spartan-777> hmmm... i will look at ships to steal
<Specs> ok
<Specs> we need a powerful one
<Specs> oh and none of that Yo ho ho crap
<Spartan-777> Darn... I love that song. XD jk
<Spartan-777> images2.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/6/6c/Covenant_Attack_Ship.jpg
<Spartan-777> Will this do?
<Specs> I think we should also capture a Covenant Assembly place as well see Assembly on Halopedia
<Spartan-777> sooo... shiiiiny
<Spartan-777> i saw assembly. played swat there.... bad idea
<Specs> lol so it looks cool
<Specs> and it would be vital to our pirate organisation
<Spartan-777> Ok, so the Shiny Leprachaun (name of ship) will be stolen by the Pirates (us)
<Spartan-777> XD
<Specs> as well as our Pirate Club
<Spartan-777> We need a better name than Shiny Leprachaun
<Specs> Death Bringer
<Specs> Purple Rain
<Spartan-777> lol
<Spartan-777> hmmm
<Specs> Tim?
<Spartan-777> maybe we name it after we steal it. it's a prototype
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> Devastator? (our renamed... name)
<Specs> (sure)
<Spartan-777> ok
<Specs> Covenant Name= Holy Transgression?
<Specs> are we using human or Covie weapons?
<Spartan-777> hmmm... probably unnamed, since it was a prototype
<Specs> meh name doesn't matter
<Spartan-777> and i was getting around to the weps and vehicles
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> let's see... pirates probably would have a lot of older equipment
<Spartan-777> and some stolen tech
<Specs> mmhmm
<Spartan-777> I'm thinking M6Ds, MA2B assault rifles, and...
<Spartan-777> images3.wikia.nocookie.net/halofanon/images/7/77/Ma2b_screenshot1.jpg
<Spartan-777> ^ma2b^
<Specs> and the alien troopers brought weapons too
<Specs> what kind of ship do we have we need a main "big" ship
<Spartan-777> yes, a few assault cannons (like on a hunter's arm), some plasma pistols, and other stuff
<Spartan-777> lets see... main ship...
<Spartan-777> It looks similar to a pirate ship, but without the sails and masts. it has cannon ports that are like mini macs, and some 30 and 50 cal turrets on top
<Specs> Archer Missle pods?
<Spartan-777> The long pole that sticks out at the front of a pirate ship is a mac gun on here
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> hmmm... yes, missile pods as well, on the sides
<Specs> give me a UNSC ship to compare its size to
<Spartan-777> hmmm... 1 sec
<Specs> ok give me a sec as well
<Spartan-777> halo.wikia.com/wiki/File:8511127-Full2.jpg
<Spartan-777> well... maybe we should just use this ship...
<Spartan-777> 1568 ft by 498 ft
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> well... hmmm... a little weak... one sec
<Spartan-777> and slow...
<Specs> oh a Frigate
<Spartan-777> halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halcyon-class_Cruiser
<Spartan-777> maybe this? its old, so it would explain how the pirates got one, relatively large, but not HUGE, and decent armor, weapons, and speed
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> but its modified, so its a bit faster and better weaponry
<Spartan-777> It has a single plasma turret mounted on top. Courtesy of the Troopers.
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> lets see... anything else we need to cover?
<Spartan-777> oh, vehicles
<Spartan-777> hmmm... some ghosts, a few spectres... warthogs and some rocket hogs. A very small number of Scorpion Tanks.
<Specs> sounds good
<Specs> any smaller ships (like Longswords?)
<Spartan-777> a few random ships
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> ok, now all we need is a starting point. And character name and species. Do you want to be Human or Alien Trooper?
<Specs> human
<Spartan-777> me too
<Spartan-777> now i must think of a name...
<Specs> and orbit around a glassed planet
<Specs> nah..
<Specs> ok thinking of a name
<Spartan-777> hmmm... ben maybe
<Spartan-777> Lock
<Spartan-777> I will be Lock
<Specs> ok Max Power
<Specs> then I will be Miller
<Spartan-777> ok, now where to start?
<Specs> hmm
<Specs> in space somewhere..
<Spartan-777> yes. on our ship. and orbiting.... harvest?
<Specs> sure
<Spartan-777> glassed harvest
<Specs> the COvenant come there to test the Assault SHip
<Specs> sorry for the random caps
<Spartan-777> wait... maybe it should be docked on a covenant station somewhere
<Specs> and is one of our charcters the Captain
<Specs> fine by me
<Specs> can we have some jackles in our crew as well as they are pirates?
<Spartan-777> hmm... i guess
<Specs> just a few random ones
<Spartan-777> maybe a few, as they are not trusted after what happened with The Rubble
<Spartan-777> only about a dozen
<Specs> ok
<Specs> we should fight some jackles at some point
<Specs> but anyway I think we can start
*** Specs is now known as Miller
*** Spartan-777 is now known as Lock
<Miller> (are we in like Odst armor?)
<Lock> Let's see... my guy has a set of Halo 1 marine armor. have you seen that kind?
<Miller> no
<Miller> I know its gray
<Lock> one moment
<Lock> wait.. i want this kind of armor
<Lock> halo.wikia.com/wiki/File:Rendermarine.jpg
<Lock> like in halo wars
<Miller> ok me to
<Lock> and i guess a few pirates could ahve ODST armor, but it would likely be in less-than-perfect condition
<Miller> true
<Lock> would you want odst armor, or the kind i have?
<Miller> kind you have
<Lock> ok
<Lock> ok, so we are orbiting glassed harvest in our ship. ready to start?
<Miller> yes
* Lock stands up from his bench in the armory, inspecting the newest crate of plasma pistols.
* Lock turns one over in his hands, pries open the cooling vent, and checks the charge.
* Miller checks the weapons supply in the armory
* Lock glances up as the door opens
<Lock> Hey Miller, check it out.
<Miller> what?
* Lock tossess him the plasma pistol
<Lock> *tosses
<Lock> We got a new crate in
<Miller> where did we find this bad boy?
<Miller> or did our friends give them to us
<Lock> A lot of 'em aren't fully charged. Got picked up off the field. But thanks to those Troopers and their charging docks, they're on their way
<Miller> good god bless those aliens
* Lock pulls the lid off of another crate, and shakes the packaging out
* Lock lets out a long whistle as he looks into the second crate
<Lock> I called it. It's mine. Get away. (not the plasma pistol, the contents of the second crate)
<Miller> what?
* Lock reaches into the box and pulls out a dinged up Assault Cannon
<Lock> (like hunters have, but the Halo 1 version thats smaller))
<Lock> images2.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/1/10/Assault_Cannon.JPG
<Miller> (alright)
<Lock> (i took that screenshot)
* Miller begins looking around for his own gun
<Lock> (that's a top-view of one)
<Miller> (nice)
* Lock slides his arm into it
<Lock> A little heavy, but... nice.
* Lock peers into the glowing tube on the side.
<Miller> don't touch anything
<Miller> on that gun you might blow something up
<Lock> hehe
* Lock begins fastening a strap to the weapon and slings it across his back
<Miller> (hold on I am finding a gun)
* Lock checks his M6D in his holster, then looks over at Miller.
<Lock> Found anything good?
<Miller> not yet
* Miller trips over an unopened box
<Miller> what the..
* Miller gets up and examins said box
<Lock> Whatever's in there, I call it too. (jk)
<Lock> What is it?
* Miller fulls out a halo 1 fuel rod gun
<Lock> (nice choice)
<Miller> *pull
<Miller> (ty it just looked cool)
<Lock> (random info, but the MA2B will probably be the standard pirate weapon, but its mainly for the generic pirates)
<Lock> (very cool, kinda like a portable mortar launcher. fast firing too)
<Miller> (alright sounds good to all of it)
* Lock stands up and signs out the Assault Cannon on the clipboard on the wall. (The Pirates would probably have a system of signing out their weapons, so they could keep track of who got what. So nobody got more than somebody else)
<Lock> (unless it was a personal weapon)
* Miller shoulders it like a rocket launcher and also signs out
<Lock> (like my M6D)
* Miller leaves his old MA2B for someone else to "rent"
<Lock> Man, sucks about Harvest. Makes a good orbital base though. Those Covenant creeps probably wouldnt ever bother to check here again.
<Miller> I know the place is praticaly dead to everyone but us
<Miller> and the random jackle pirate ship looting to loot some stuff
<Miller> *looking
<Lock> *Intercom* All Ground Units to the briefing room. Repeat, All Ground Units to the briefing room.
<Lock> Looks like our services our needed. I feel so special.
<Miller> more jackles I suppose
* Lock begins the walk down the hall to the briefing room
* Miller walks to breifing room
*** CptHawkins [n=4ab5f9d9@gateway/web/cgi-irc/irc.wikia.com/x-ccd9e3d1e8538561] has joined #wikia-pt
<Lock> (pirate leader)
<Miller> (okey dokey)
<Miller> Hey Bob *waves to alien trooper*
<CptHawkins> (one sec)
<Miller> (ok)
* Lock enters the briefing room and stands against the back wall. Captain Hawkins was standing in front of the viewscreen, sporting his trademark Zealot Shoulder plates.
<Miller> so Bob how have you been buddy..remember when we were bunk mates..sorry got run Bob catch you in the mess hall later
* Miller walks into breifing room
<Lock> (Hawkins wears the shoulder plates of a gold elite he killed, which is one of the reasons he became the Captain)
<Miller> (ok)
<CptHawkins> Ok men, as you all know, Harvest has been our base of operations for years. But recent scans have shown Covenant activity nearby. Not the usual Jackal Pirates. We're talking Brutes, Elites... the works. (continuing)
<Miller> (it says that the alien troopers were ment to be snipers and have weapons under there bellies just a heads up)
<CptHawkins> (i know)
<Miller> (I didn't :/)
<CptHawkins> (these dont have the weapon-bellies though. they took the guns back when they shunned the troopers)
<CptHawkins> (*the covies took the guns back)
<CptHawkins> They seem to have turned an asteroid into a dock. They've been churning out ships like crazy. They're preparing for something big.
<Miller> oh s***
<CptHawkins> We believe they are building something special in the main hangar, but we havent been able to get a look at it.
<CptHawkins> Security there has been doubled. If you havent already guessed, we want a small team to infiltrate the dock, and figure out what they're up to... and of course, steal everything that isnt tied down.
<Miller> I volenteer sir
<CptHawkins> We'll send the fighters to create a distraction while a boarding craft infiltrates the base.
* Lock stands
* CptHawkins watches as a few men slowly look around and stand up
<CptHawkins> Ok then... looks like we have our strike team.
<CptHawkins> Your training will begin immediately.
<CptHawkins> (Fast-forwards to the day the training ends. the day before the mission)
<CptHawkins> (that way we can get to the good part )
<Miller> (ok)
* Miller has a smoke to calm his nerves
* CptHawkins checks his improved armor. An upgraded comm system had been installed, plates added, and an improved HUD.
<CptHawkins> *Lock
* Lock checks his improved armor. An upgraded comm system had been installed, plates added, and an improved HUD.
<Lock> Sweeet
* Miller puts his new armor on
* Lock straps on his Assault Cannon, then thinks better of it. This was going to be a close quarters fight, at least until they got to the hangar. He slings it over his back and draws his M6D
<Lock> (the armor looks the same on the outside, just improved tech)
<Miller> (k)
<Lock> Officers begin directing the team into a collection of Drop Pods, some used by ODST's, even a few used by the Elites
* Miller also draws his M6D in favor of his fuel rod
* Miller runs for an ODST drop pod
<CptHawkins> These pods have been outfitted with small thrusters to give you some control during the landing. They also have more armor, as you will be punching THROUGH the hull of the airlock.
<Lock> ...
<Lock> You're kidding me.
<CptHawkins> Nope
<Lock> ... ok then...
* Lock climbs into his pod
<CptHawkins> Scramble all fighters. Give these boys the distraction they need.
<CptHawkins> *pilots* Sir, yes sir!
* Miller climbs in
*** CptHawkins is now known as Assault
*** Assault is now known as AssaultTeam
* Miller wishes he could have another smoke but removes his helmet and takes a drink from a flask containing alcohol
* AssaultTeam climbs into their pods and await the signal to launch
* Lock awaits the signal, then hears multiple explosions from the dogfights going on outside
<Lock> *pods launch*
* Miller waits for the signal while pondering why his old buddy Bob switched rooms
<Miller> whoa
<Lock> AGH!
<Lock> *pods begin zooming toward the station*
<Lock> Why did I volunteer for this?
* Lock 's pod hits the hull, shudders violently, then crashes into the hangar bay
* AssaultTeam 's pods follow
<Lock> Airlock closes around the hangar and pressure equalizes outside.
* Miller closes his eyes as his pod breaks through the metal
<Lock> *Airlock closes around the hangar and pressure equalizes outside.*
* Lock kicks out the door of his pod and jumps out, M6D raised
<Lock> ... no one's here...
<Miller> great
<Lock> (the hangar we landed in is abadoned. a loading zone for cargo ships)
* AssaultTeam form up and begin sweeping the halls leading out of the hangar
<Lock> Wait up! *follows*
<Miller> wait shouldn't we loot the crates in there..nevermind
<Lock> We will later, no way to carry them where we're goin'.
* AssaultTeam splits into smaller groups and splits up to search the station
<Lock> Hey Miller, team up?
*** AssaultTeam [n=4ab5f9d9@gateway/web/cgi-irc/irc.wikia.com/x-ccd9e3d1e8538561] has quit ["CGI:IRC"]
<Miller> h** yeah
<Lock> ok, let's see, if i was a Covenant Secret, where would I hide?
<Miller> hmm
<Miller> under some active camo?
* Lock steps over to a terminal, then inserts a codebreaker
<Lock> (codebreaker is kind of like a dumb ai, only dumber. it just translates and open doors. no holographic avatat)
<Miller> (I know)
* Lock brings up a map
<Lock> Let's see... crap...
<Lock> They blanked out the hangar on the map
<Lock> hmmm...
<Miller> is there a random blank hole in the map?
<Lock> No, they marked the halls that lead to it as dead ends. No way to tell which ones go to it, and which ones are just... dead ends
<Lock> ...There's an awful lot of power conduits feeding into this spot right here*points at map*. Looks like if we follow the cord, we'll find whatever they're building.
<Miller> lets do it
* Lock downloads a portion of the map to his hud
* Lock transmits it to Miller
* Lock keeps his M6D drawn, then quietly proceeds down the hallway
* Miller clenches his M6D even tighter
<Lock> Looks like our buddies have been through here. Look. *points at dead grunts heaped into a corner*
<Lock> ... took all the good stuff too...
<Miller> dang it
<Miller> we are just going to have to find something better
* Lock continues down the corridor, then almost bumps into a patrol rounding the corner
<Lock> (an Elite, and 2 jackals
<Lock> )
<Lock> WOAH! *fires off M6D*
<Miller> I call the helmet
* Miller draws Fuel Rod Gun and opens fire
<Lock> *Elite roars and charges him, plasma rifle drawn*
<Lock> Careful with that Fuel Rod...*stray shot lands nearby*
<Lock> Ooof!
* Lock hurtles into the wall
<Lock> ...ouch...
<Miller> sorry
* Miller shoulders it and fires his M6D
* Lock shakes his head and looks up to find the elite standing over him. Lock sidesteps, watches as the elite charges by, and wheels in behind it, placing three rounds into the base of its neck
<Lock> *Elite tumbles to the ground*
* Miller rips the helmet from the elites head
<Lock> *jackals start up shields and build up overcharegs*
* Miller tosses one of the elites gernades
* Lock ducks into an alcove, engages his scope, and fires on the jackal
<Miller> (lol its pouring here)
* Lock steps over the carnage and picks through their belongings
* Lock pulls off the jackal shield gauntlets and tossess one to miller
* Miller grabs a jackles sheild and puts the elite helmet in his pack
<Miller> (lol you read my mind)
<Lock> Looks like they may have to recharge for a while.
<Miller> hopefully we won't need them for a while
* Lock picks up a plasma grenade and an energy cutlass (a needler shard used as a knife)
* Lock slides the piece of crystal into his pocket and clips the grenade to his belt
* Miller also picks up gernades and an energy cutlass
<Miller> alright lets keep moving
<Lock> Lemme see the helmet
<Lock> (it was a blue minor)
* Miller pulls the helmet from his bag
* Lock takes the helmet and turns it around, noticing a small ship extending from a socket in the side
* Lock hands the helmet back and slides the chip into his own helmet, scrolling through mission logs and security protocols
* Miller places it back into his bag to add to his collection
<Miller> anything interesting
<Lock> ...Looks like we may have our hangar. The cables where leading off to the engine room. We need to go right, not left.
<Miller> alright lets roll
* Miller reloads his pistol
* Lock changes direction and walks toward the hangar. He stops and ducks into an alcove, then gestures for Miller to do the same
* Miller follows
* Lock quietly reloads, then gestures miller into the alcove as a patrol walks by
* Lock waits for them to pass, then continues to the hangar
* Miller follows
<Lock> (wanna fast-forward through the walking and skip to the part when we're outside the hangar?)
<Miller> (sure)
<Lock> (ok)
* Lock peeks around the corner, noticing most of the squad waiting in a crevice in the wall. Lock drops to a crouch and runs to join them
<Lock> What's the holdup?
<Lock> *squad* The guards have been holding on to the hangar with all they've got. We lost a lot of our guys in the initial charge
<Miller> The Calvery has arrived *points to Fuel Rod Gun*
* Lock draws his assault cannon
<Lock> We'll soften 'em up, then meet you inside.
* Lock charges his cannon, then counts to 3
<Lock> 1
<Lock> 2
<Lock> 3
* Miller opens fire with his Fuel Rod Gun
* Lock fires at the doorway*
<Lock> *startled elites look up and attempt to dive for cover, only to be blown away*
* Lock pumps another round into the door, creating a hole for the team to enter
<Miller> (Lol this is a great RP..its different )
<Lock> Go go go!
<Lock> (yeah)
* Miller charges
* Lock looks over his shoulder, then runs into the doorway
* Miller shoulders Fuel Rod and draws pistol
* Lock notices a large amount of engineers. These guys would be great on the <insert pirate ship name here>. He made a mental note to grab some later
* Lock sweeps the room with his cannon, looking for enemies.
* Lock looks up, and sees an experimental covenant ship suspended above the deck
<Lock> Holy...
<Lock> I call it
<Miller> Don't shoot the Engineers (to rest of team)
<Miller> Captain won't like that
<Lock> 2 men guard the ramp, as the rest of us enter the cruiser
<Miller> I am not guarding the stupid ramp
* Lock enters, the ship, noticing its corridors were vacant, except for the occasional engineer.
<Miller> wheres the crew?
<Lock> ...something's not right... there wasnt very much resistance outside...
* Miller keeps his pistol in the ready to fire postion
<Lock> And for someting like this.. *lights go out*
<Lock> *What the?!*
<Miller> oh god
<Lock> *energy swords and plasma pistols light up in the darkness*
* Miller curses
<Miller> if I hadn't seen those thing before we may of had a little accident
* Lock flips on his spotlamp and begins pumping rounds into the figures
* Miller turns night vision thing (thats in Odst)
* Miller opens fire
* Lock bowls a frag into the fray
<Lock> GRENADE!
* Lock dives for cover as it blows
* Lock watches as several of the weapons wink off.
<Miller> yeah we got one
* Miller tosses another gernade
<Miller> EAT IT you ALIEN FREAKS
* Lock turns around, only to be grabbed and lifted into the air by a zealot with a sword
<Lock> *gasps*
* Lock drops his pistol as the elite raises him to its face
<Lock> *elite draws back his sword and prepares to lunge*
* Lock draws his energy cutlass and sinks it into the elite's chest
* Miller tosses his energy cutlass at it
<Lock> *the elite looks down, flinches, and drops Lock. seconds later, the shard explodes*
<Lock> *shards

<Miller> Ok we need Bob
<Lock> *laughs* ok
<Miller> I think we should mainly get alien trooper you know make em feel at home again
<Lock> *Cpt Hawkins begins rationing out crewmembers and supplies to get Lock started*
<Lock> Hmm. Nice idea. But we'll need some human's too. It'd be kinda awkward if we were the only ones.
<Miller> I know
<Lock> (how much longer will you be able to rp?)
<Miller> (doesn't matter)
<Lock> (we can go ahead and start the reffiting of the Devastator if you have time. Or can you stay up as late as you want tonight?)
<Miller> (I can stay up as late as I want)
<Lock> (k)
<Lock> *after the supplies has been rationed, technicians begin modifying the newly christened "Devastator"*
<Lock> (wait, i want to insert a few lines before that)
* Miller moves his stuff from his room
<Miller> (ok)
<Lock> (where im talking to the captain.)
<Lock> (right after he makes me a captain)
<Miller> (alright)
<Lock> But sir... dont you want the ship?
<CptHawkins> You steal something like that, you keep it. Pirate's code.
<Lock> Alright then, sir. If you insist... BOOYAH!
<Lock> (I'm copying and pasting this so it's like a story. ill put this in where it needs to go when i finish)

<Miller> (ok)
<Lock> (we are not rebels, we are just a band of people with a... questionable past. but not evil)
<Miller> alright
* Lock begins searching for the captain's quarters of the newly modified Devastator. He takes note that it has been remodeled to appear as if on a Human Ship
*** CptHawkins is now known as technician
* technician sees Lock and salutes
* Miller continues mobing his stuff over
<Miller> *moving
<technician> Captain, we have translated the software, redesigned one of the barracks for the Humans, and left one of them the same for the Troopers. All generators are online and 100%
* Miller walks over to an alien trooper
<Lock> thank you
*** technician [n=4ab5f9d9@gateway/web/cgi-irc/irc.wikia.com/x-efb0ba552a87ab3a] has quit ["CGI:IRC"]
<Miller> hey anyway you could adapt this for human use? *points to Zealot helmet*
* Lock grabs all the stuff from his old room and places it in the captain's quarters
<Miller> you can great..give it back to me when your done
* Miller organised his elite armor collection
<Lock> (i dont think an elite helmet could be modified to fit a human. at least... not in a way it would resemble an elite helmet when it was done)
<Miller> (so I just the improved HUD )
<Lock> (unless, you made it to where it would fit over your own helmet perhaps)
<Miller> (and a cool looking helmet)
<Miller> (wait I like that idea)
* Miller places his Major shoulders on
<Lock> (or yes, better hud, golden plates on the side, and some spikes sweeping off the sides)
<Lock> (of your helmet)
<Miller> (even better)

* Lock continues touring the ship, and finds a room full of charging docks. never again would they have to worry about a depleted plasma pistol
* Miller looks for Lock
<Miller> Lock I have a present for you
<Lock> ?
<Lock> (... how'd your name go red?)
<Miller> (cause I used your name)
<Lock> (oh. cool)

<Lock> (Miller)
<Lock> ( Miller )
<Lock> Miller
<Lock> (...)

<Miller> *Lock

<Lock> I cant take this. Keep it
<Miller> no its yours Captain

<Lock> ...Fine. I'll put it up on my wall.
* Lock takes the helmet, then goes to put it on his office wall
<Miller> say you beat him in a hand to hand fight
<Lock> eh, not without your second shard
<Lock> But thanks all the same

<Miller> nobody would now
<Lock> oh

<Lock> Hey, we picked up a Wraith before we bailed. See what you can do about translating the control panels if you have time
* Bob-the-Alien-Tr resumes plugging in the depleted weapons
<Bob-the-Alien-Tr> Can do sir
* Lock tossess Bob a small covenant coin he found in the corridors of the Station, then returns to his office
<Bob-the-Alien-Tr> thank you sir you are too kind
* Bob-the-Alien-Tr walks off to attend to the Wraith
* Miller sees that a variety of human and alien food is in the mess
<Miller> good work
<Miller> but try to do something about the seating its odd
* Lock mounts the helmet, then goes to join Miller in the cafeteria
* Miller stares at the Thorn Beast a Covenant fine meat
* Bob-the-Alien-Tr goes into the Wraith and translate the software into English and adds a feature to turn it on or off
* Bob-the-Alien-Tr then proceeds to go to the bridge and do the same
<Miller> I wonder what half this stuff is
* Lock joins in staring at the beast
<Lock> ... I'm not eating that
* Miller pokes a glob that looks like jello
<Miller> I dare you to eat this

<Miller> Give me a burger and an ice cold beer and I won't complain
* Lock grabs a can of rootbeer, then takes a seat
* Miller grabs a "cold one" and some french fries and has a seat
<Miller> We need to head to UNSC space to get some supplies sometime this ship is too alien
<Lock> OK, so now that we have our own ship, we can pick our missions, choose our targets *takes a drink*, all that good stuff
<Miller> I now were not exactly welcome there but at least we don't attack em
<Lock> Yeah, that was what I was wanting to do. Restock on some good 'ol ballistic weaponry
<Miller> Maby Bob would know some Covennat real estate ready for the picking
<Lock> I heard there are some old MA5's being auctioned off.
<Miller> I agree this plasma stuff probally aint to heathly
<Lock> (MA5Bs, from H1. 60 round clips. H3 has the MA5C)
<Miller> Well I do know this guy who knows this guy who works for the black market
<Miller> not legal but some good stuff there
<Miller> (I know I like the Halo 1 better even if I haven't used it)
<Lock> Dude. We're pirates. EVERYBODY knows a guy in the black market.
<Lock> (yeah, didnt pack as much of a punch, but hey, you never had to reload XD. and also much more balanced)
<Miller> but this guy can get it for free
<Lock> MA5's?
<Miller> but most guys can
<Miller> yeah
<Miller> this guys some top rebel dude
<Lock> Hmm.. tell him we'll stay in touch
<Miller> alright
<Lock> Well... then we'de be doing the UNSC a favor... taking illegal weaponry from rebel troops...
<Miller> but I may have to pay him a "finders" fee..alot cheaper then buying it though
<Miller> mmhmm
<Lock> So... technically, we're helping
<Miller> yes
<Lock> ok, i feel better. see how many you can get your hands on
<Miller> but the UNSC seems to secretive and corrupt for my tastes
<Miller> Can do
<Miller> Once we get radio online and on standard frequency
<Miller> (Covenant probally use something different)
<Lock> Ok, so, here's what we got so far: We grab some of those MA5B's from your pal, set our radios to UNSC frequency, resupply, then....
<Miller> we steal more tech to sell on the blakc market
<Lock> But from where? Meh, we can ask Bob.
<Miller> so we can buy the more fancy items like some newer weapons
<Miller> Or we could steal from the rebels..some of those MAKO drones and APC Warthogs
<Lock> and brute shots. I want a grenade launcher
<Miller> maby some nukes as well
<Lock> yeah, we'll need to dig up a rebel base and "borrow" some of their kit.
<Miller> maby the UNSC will lay off a bit
<Lock> And... as for nukes... we may wanna take it easy on those. We should probably stick with the Pulse Laser for now
<Miller> (were not hostile just not the best of friends)
<Lock> (yeah)
<Lock> *yawns*
<Lock> Well, I guess we should get some sleep. We can get ready for the resupply run tommorow.
<Miller> Yeah
<Miller> we earned it
* Lock stands, finishes his drink, then heads for his office.
<Miller> ..we should just go to the freezer
<Lock> suit yourself... I hate those things
<Miller> well I just figured we could make the jump while we slept
<Miller> screw it
<Lock> i really want some normal sleep, we can jump tommorow
<Miller> alright

<Miller> yep

<Black_Dog> Yes hello Captain..your different then what he told me of you...I thought you were older
<Lock> Well, recent promotion.
<Black_Dog> Ah I see
<Lock> We jacked a cruiser.
<Miller> yes
<Black_Dog> interesting...how much would you sell it for?
<Lock> not for sale
<Black_Dog> I give you entire Warehouse for it along with others?
<Lock> Unless you have a better one.
<Lock> But I highly doubt you do.
<Black_Dog> and of course a nice ship as well. a Colony Ship fully equipped
<Lock> Experimental Covenant Cruiser. Complete with Pulse Laser
<Black_Dog> ahh well that is my final offer all I have to sell you for my boss would have my hide
<Lock> How about weapons?
<Black_Dog> Weapons..I give you two warehouses fully stocked
<Lock> For the Cruiser?
<Black_Dog> yes
<Lock> No. Then we have no reason for the weapons. We need weapons for the crew, which in turn is needed for our cruiser.
<Black_Dog> you may keep crew we have crews of our own
<Lock> But if we have no ship for our crew, we wont need a crew, then we wont need weapons
<Lock> Just let us see your inventory
<Black_Dog> but I give you ship,warehouse and allow you to keep crew
<Black_Dog> ..very well
* Black_Dog claps and more lights come on revealing shelves of various weapons
* Lock browses the aisles
<Lock> Got any Battle Rifles?
<Black_Dog> could of pull some strings buddy. I will give you these plasma pistols we have a bunch of them
<Black_Dog> *Miller
<Black_Dog> One moment Captain

* Lock pulls out a banged up battle rifle
<Black_Dog> sorry for the damaged he had to erm..salvage that

<Lock> Hmmm... lookin' for something that packs a bit more of a punch. But I'll keep this in mind.
<Black_Dog> try row K
* Lock paces down to row k, then pulls out a box
<Black_Dog> newer but is not in best shape we had to save that from..erm a fire
<Lock> Hey, an M247!
)
* Lock picks it up and peers down the sights
<Black_Dog> you like?
* Lock nods
<Black_Dog> very well now how you like to pay for it?
<Black_Dog> the price is on box
<Lock> We got a recharge dock. You can recharge your covenant weaponry.
<Lock> I'll give you one of those for this M247.
<Black_Dog> fine..fine
<Lock> I'll have it sent by later. Found anything you like, Miller?
* Miller pulls out a Confetti Maker
* Miller takes a look but buts it back

<Lock> A gauss hog would be wonderful.
<Black_Dog> right this way
* Lock follows
* Black_Dog hits a button a remote
<Black_Dog> *an alarm sounds* (just car keys)
<Black_Dog> whoops that’s my car
* Black_Dog presses another button on another remote
* Black_Dog door opens
* Lock walks over for closer inspection
<Black_Dog> Take a look these were also damaged in a "fire"
<Lock> Looks like the cannon's shot. But I'm surprised you were even able to get your hands on this one.
<Lock> Whaddaya want for it?
<Lock> And no, we will not sell you the cruiser
<Black_Dog> I could use a supply ship
<Lock> Hmmm... throw in some MA5B's, and you have a deal.
<Black_Dog> you have a deal Captain
* Lock hops in the hog and loads their equipment
<Lock> Pleasure doing business with you. *drives hog into the cargo bay of supply ship*
<Lock> Ok Miller, we all set?
<Black_Dog> yes come again anytime. If you happen to capture any grunts let me know I hear they are great workers. Every grunt you get you can have 2 crates of weapons and ammo
<Miller> I believe so sir
* Lock exits the hog and sits in the passenger seat of Miller's Supply Ship.
* Miller climbs into driver’s seat
<Miller> Bye Black Dog if you need any more favors you know who to call
* Miller takes off
<Lock> when we get back to the Devastator, we can get one of the Engineers working on the hog
<Miller> alright
<Miller> while his favors are good they often require raids on UNSC bases
<Miller> or ships
<Miller> however some rebels also get on his bosses black list
* Miller jumps into slip space
* Miller arrives back into real space at Harvest near the Devastator
<Lock> Alright, let's dock and get to work

<Lock> *Comms Officer* Sir, the Pandora is sending a transmission
* Lock pulls it up on the screen
* Lock salutes
* Miller salutes
<Cpt_Hawkins> Hello, Lock. Good to see you and your crew are in good shape. The Pandora and her crew are going to raid a rebel base on a nearby asteroid. Would you be interested in joining us?
<Lock> Sure thing Admiral.
<Adm_Hawkins> Roger that, dock with the Pandora and we'll prep for the raid
<Adm_Hawkins> *Lock
* Lock slowly docks the ship with the Pandora, then boards when they are connected
* Lock slings his M247 over his back, then enters the Pandora
* Miller slings his MA5K across his back
* Lock and Miller walk down the hallway to the briefing room, catching a few nods from passing crewman
* Miller wonders what trophy he can get from the rebels
* Lock looks around the room, then takes a seat
* Miller takes a seat
* Miller clears his throat
<Adm_Hawkins> Ok men, we've been a bit low on funding lately and have discovered a nearby rebel asteroid. As you can see, this mission is pretty much self-explanatory. Sneak in, take what you can, and sneak out. A team will create a distraction outside while another group slips into the asteroid here. *points at diagram*
<Miller> aye aye Admiral
* Adm_Hawkins nods.
<Adm_Hawkins> Alright then. Gear up
<Adm_Hawkins> *soldiers exit the room and head for the armory*
* Miller nods salutes and exits the room to gear up

<Adm_Hawkins> *Lock
* Lock returns to the Devastator and grabs an extended clip, silencer, and foldable stock for his M6D, effectively turning it into a small carbine.
* Miller grabs extra clips for his MA5K
* Miller grabs a few gernades and a fresh clip for his pistol
* Lock looks through a crate of ordinance and pulls out a plasma and a frag. He straps them to his belt
the docking tube, then begins the flight to the asteroid
* Lock feels the ship shudder
<Lock> What was that?
<Miller> No idea
<Lock> *tech* A frigate. The Rebels are firing on us!
<Miller> I suggest we put our sheilds on
<Miller> The Fools
* Lock engages the shields
<Lock> All batteries fire!
<Lock watches as dozens of balls of plasma hurtle toward the ships engines
<Lock> Wanna try out the Pulse Laser?
<Miller> h** yeah
<Lock> See if you can cut off their engines

<Specs> looking up something about a game I want to get and nice
<Spartan-777> Red Faction: Geurrilla
<Spartan-777> That looks cooool
<Spartan-777> I'm thinking of starting a Bulldog (Custom Edition Armored Motorcycle, kinda like Batman's) training school on CE. They're kinda hard to control.
<Spartan-777> But once you figure them out, it's really fun to drive
<Specs> cool and yes that game looks cool I am torn between Fable II and that game
<Spartan-777> RED FACTION
<Spartan-777> But in Fable 2, you get Hal's Armor

<Spartan-777> mmm.... taaaanks...
<Specs> Heavy Weapons=the best period
<Spartan-777> Amen!
<Spartan-777> Give me a 30 Cal and a Rocket Launcher anyday!
<Specs> Machine gun and Rockets work for me
<Spartan-777> We got a nice APC on custom. Primary is a 50 Cal cannon, pinpoint accurate. Secondary is Dual Tank shots. But they take a while to reload.... and they're a bit on the slow side
<Spartan-777> Is Red Faction comin' out for PS2 or computer?
<Spartan-777> Or only PS3?
<Specs> its for xbox as well
<Specs> let me check
<Spartan-777> k

<Spartan-777> lol
<Specs> they are already designing it and everything
<Spartan-777> Have you seen the pre-beta Halo game? When it was originally going to be for pc?
<Specs> nope
<Spartan-777> Why did they take out so much awesome guns?! I tink I saw the Maulers ancestor in there, and the Fuel Rod's.
<Spartan-777> www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tqrfy4SR7I
<Specs> no clue..balenceing
<Spartan-777> Armor was a bit odd thoug...
<Spartan-777> t*though
<Specs> I think I am getting Fable II and mircosoft points not Red Faction
<Spartan-777> The AR had a grenade launcher, i want one like that
<Spartan-777> And there was a Rocket Launcher SPECIFACALLY designed for AA
<Specs> lol
<Specs> *takes a nap*
<Spartan-777> And there were more Spartans
<Specs> that would of been cool but sucky at the same time
<Specs> as they would of stole your kill and probally died
<Spartan-777> lol
<Spartan-777> and the rocket hog? more like a light tank!

<Specs> no
<Spartan-777> the regular one?
<Spartan-777> with yellow stripe?
<Specs> I think so

<Specs> this computer can't watch videos
<Spartan-777> oh
<Spartan-777> well, what do you wanna do?
<Specs> as its retarded and won't install the Flash Player
<Specs> we should RP something..anything

<Specs> amd we would be the bad guys attacking the good guys
<Spartan-777> hmmmm

<Specs> but we are pirates fighting the Covenant..sounds fun
<Spartan-777> YES! Better idea
<Spartan-777> goodjob
<Spartan-777> I always wanted to steal covenant tech
<Spartan-777> XD
<Spartan-777> Hmmm.... we need something important to steal from them...
<Specs> general supplies
<Specs> or an artifact
<Specs> or a ship
<Spartan-777> no... something better... a weapon or.... a SHIP! also god idea
<Spartan-777> *also a good idea
<Spartan-777> hmmm... i will look at ships to steal
<Specs> ok
<Specs> we need a powerful one
<Specs> oh and none of that Yo ho ho crap
<Spartan-777> Darn... I love that song. XD jk
<Spartan-777> images2.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/6/6c/Covenant_Attack_Ship.jpg
<Spartan-777> Will this do?
<Specs> I think we should also capture a Covenant Assembly place as well see Assembly on Halopedia
<Spartan-777> sooo... shiiiiny
<Spartan-777> i saw assembly. played swat there.... bad idea
<Specs> lol so it looks cool
<Specs> and it would be vital to our pirate organisation
<Spartan-777> Ok, so the Shiny Leprachaun (name of ship) will be stolen by the Pirates (us)
<Spartan-777> XD
<Specs> as well as our Pirate Club
<Spartan-777> We need a better name than Shiny Leprachaun
<Specs> Death Bringer
<Specs> Purple Rain
<Spartan-777> lol
<Spartan-777> hmmm
<Specs> Tim?
<Spartan-777> maybe we name it after we steal it. it's a prototype
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> Devastator? (our renamed... name)
<Specs> (sure)
<Spartan-777> ok
<Specs> Covenant Name= Holy Transgression?
<Specs> are we using human or Covie weapons?
<Spartan-777> hmmm... probably unnamed, since it was a prototype
<Specs> meh name doesn't matter
<Spartan-777> and i was getting around to the weps and vehicles
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> let's see... pirates probably would have a lot of older equipment
<Spartan-777> and some stolen tech
<Specs> mmhmm
<Spartan-777> I'm thinking M6Ds, MA2B assault rifles, and...
<Spartan-777> images3.wikia.nocookie.net/halofanon/images/7/77/Ma2b_screenshot1.jpg
<Spartan-777> ^ma2b^
<Specs> and the alien troopers brought weapons too
<Specs> what kind of ship do we have we need a main "big" ship
<Spartan-777> yes, a few assault cannons (like on a hunter's arm), some plasma pistols, and other stuff
<Spartan-777> lets see... main ship...
<Spartan-777> It looks similar to a pirate ship, but without the sails and masts. it has cannon ports that are like mini macs, and some 30 and 50 cal turrets on top
<Specs> Archer Missle pods?
<Spartan-777> The long pole that sticks out at the front of a pirate ship is a mac gun on here
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> hmmm... yes, missile pods as well, on the sides
<Specs> give me a UNSC ship to compare its size to
<Spartan-777> hmmm... 1 sec
<Specs> ok give me a sec as well
<Spartan-777> halo.wikia.com/wiki/File:8511127-Full2.jpg
<Spartan-777> well... maybe we should just use this ship...
<Spartan-777> 1568 ft by 498 ft
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> well... hmmm... a little weak... one sec
<Spartan-777> and slow...
<Specs> oh a Frigate
<Spartan-777> halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halcyon-class_Cruiser
<Spartan-777> maybe this? its old, so it would explain how the pirates got one, relatively large, but not HUGE, and decent armor, weapons, and speed
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> but its modified, so its a bit faster and better weaponry
<Spartan-777> It has a single plasma turret mounted on top. Courtesy of the Troopers.
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> lets see... anything else we need to cover?
<Spartan-777> oh, vehicles
<Spartan-777> hmmm... some ghosts, a few spectres... warthogs and some rocket hogs. A very small number of Scorpion Tanks.
<Specs> sounds good
<Specs> any smaller ships (like Longswords?)
<Spartan-777> a few random ships
<Specs> ok
<Spartan-777> ok, now all we need is a starting point. And character name and species. Do you want to be Human or Alien Trooper?
<Specs> human
<Spartan-777> me too
<Spartan-777> now i must think of a name...
<Specs> and orbit around a glassed planet
<Specs> nah..
<Specs> ok thinking of a name
<Spartan-777> hmmm... ben maybe
<Spartan-777> Lock
<Spartan-777> I will be Lock
<Specs> ok Max Power
<Specs> then I will be Miller
<Spartan-777> ok, now where to start?
<Specs> hmm
<Specs> in space somewhere..
<Spartan-777> yes. on our ship. and orbiting.... harvest?
<Specs> sure
<Spartan-777> glassed harvest
<Specs> the COvenant come there to test the Assault SHip
<Specs> sorry for the random caps
<Spartan-777> wait... maybe it should be docked on a covenant station somewhere
<Specs> and is one of our charcters the Captain
<Specs> fine by me
<Specs> can we have some jackles in our crew as well as they are pirates?
<Spartan-777> hmm... i guess
<Specs> just a few random ones
<Spartan-777> maybe a few, as they are not trusted after what happened with The Rubble
<Spartan-777> only about a dozen
<Specs> ok
<Specs> we should fight some jackles at some point
<Specs> but anyway I think we can start
*** Specs is now known as Miller
*** Spartan-777 is now known as Lock
<Miller> (are we in like Odst armor?)
<Lock> Let's see... my guy has a set of Halo 1 marine armor. have you seen that kind?
<Miller> no
<Miller> I know its gray
<Lock> one moment
<Lock> wait.. i want this kind of armor
<Lock> halo.wikia.com/wiki/File:Rendermarine.jpg
<Lock> like in halo wars
<Miller> ok me to
<Lock> and i guess a few pirates could ahve ODST armor, but it would likely be in less-than-perfect condition
<Miller> true
<Lock> would you want odst armor, or the kind i have?
<Miller> kind you have
<Lock> ok
<Lock> ok, so we are orbiting glassed harvest in our ship. ready to start?
<Miller> yes
* Lock stands up from his bench in the armory, inspecting the newest crate of plasma pistols.
* Lock turns one over in his hands, pries open the cooling vent, and checks the charge.
* Miller checks the weapons supply in the armory
* Lock glances up as the door opens
<Lock> Hey Miller, check it out.
<Miller> what?
* Lock tossess him the plasma pistol
<Lock> *tosses
<Lock> We got a new crate in
<Miller> where did we find this bad boy?
<Miller> or did our friends give them to us
<Lock> A lot of 'em aren't fully charged. Got picked up off the field. But thanks to those Troopers and their charging docks, they're on their way
<Miller> good god bless those aliens
* Lock pulls the lid off of another crate, and shakes the packaging out
* Lock lets out a long whistle as he looks into the second crate
<Lock> I called it. It's mine. Get away. (not the plasma pistol, the contents of the second crate)
<Miller> what?
* Lock reaches into the box and pulls out a dinged up Assault Cannon
<Lock> (like hunters have, but the Halo 1 version thats smaller))
<Lock> images2.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/1/10/Assault_Cannon.JPG
<Miller> (alright)
<Lock> (i took that screenshot)
* Miller begins looking around for his own gun
<Lock> (that's a top-view of one)
<Miller> (nice)
* Lock slides his arm into it
<Lock> A little heavy, but... nice.
* Lock peers into the glowing tube on the side.
<Miller> don't touch anything
<Miller> on that gun you might blow something up
<Lock> hehe
* Lock begins fastening a strap to the weapon and slings it across his back
<Miller> (hold on I am finding a gun)
* Lock checks his M6D in his holster, then looks over at Miller.
<Lock> Found anything good?
<Miller> not yet
* Miller trips over an unopened box
<Miller> what the..
* Miller gets up and examins said box
<Lock> Whatever's in there, I call it too. (jk)
<Lock> What is it?
* Miller fulls out a halo 1 fuel rod gun
<Lock> (nice choice)
<Miller> *pull
<Miller> (ty it just looked cool)
<Lock> (random info, but the MA2B will probably be the standard pirate weapon, but its mainly for the generic pirates)
<Lock> (very cool, kinda like a portable mortar launcher. fast firing too)
<Miller> (alright sounds good to all of it)
* Lock stands up and signs out the Assault Cannon on the clipboard on the wall. (The Pirates would probably have a system of signing out their weapons, so they could keep track of who got what. So nobody got more than somebody else)
<Lock> (unless it was a personal weapon)
* Miller shoulders it like a rocket launcher and also signs out
<Lock> (like my M6D)
* Miller leaves his old MA2B for someone else to "rent"
<Lock> Man, sucks about Harvest. Makes a good orbital base though. Those Covenant creeps probably wouldnt ever bother to check here again.
<Miller> I know the place is praticaly dead to everyone but us
<Miller> and the random jackle pirate ship looting to loot some stuff
<Miller> *looking
<Lock> *Intercom* All Ground Units to the briefing room. Repeat, All Ground Units to the briefing room.
<Lock> Looks like our services our needed. I feel so special.
<Miller> more jackles I suppose
* Lock begins the walk down the hall to the briefing room
* Miller walks to breifing room
*** CptHawkins [n=4ab5f9d9@gateway/web/cgi-irc/irc.wikia.com/x-ccd9e3d1e8538561] has joined #wikia-pt
<Lock> (pirate leader)
<Miller> (okey dokey)
<Miller> Hey Bob *waves to alien trooper*
<CptHawkins> (one sec)
<Miller> (ok)
* Lock enters the briefing room and stands against the back wall. Captain Hawkins was standing in front of the viewscreen, sporting his trademark Zealot Shoulder plates.
<Miller> so Bob how have you been buddy..remember when we were bunk mates..sorry got run Bob catch you in the mess hall later
* Miller walks into breifing room
<Lock> (Hawkins wears the shoulder plates of a gold elite he killed, which is one of the reasons he became the Captain)
<Miller> (ok)
<CptHawkins> Ok men, as you all know, Harvest has been our base of operations for years. But recent scans have shown Covenant activity nearby. Not the usual Jackal Pirates. We're talking Brutes, Elites... the works. (continuing)
<Miller> (it says that the alien troopers were ment to be snipers and have weapons under there bellies just a heads up)
<CptHawkins> (i know)
<Miller> (I didn't :/)
<CptHawkins> (these dont have the weapon-bellies though. they took the guns back when they shunned the troopers)
<CptHawkins> (*the covies took the guns back)
<CptHawkins> They seem to have turned an asteroid into a dock. They've been churning out ships like crazy. They're preparing for something big.
<Miller> oh s***
<CptHawkins> We believe they are building something special in the main hangar, but we havent been able to get a look at it.
<CptHawkins> Security there has been doubled. If you havent already guessed, we want a small team to infiltrate the dock, and figure out what they're up to... and of course, steal everything that isnt tied down.
<Miller> I volenteer sir
<CptHawkins> We'll send the fighters to create a distraction while a boarding craft infiltrates the base.
* Lock stands
* CptHawkins watches as a few men slowly look around and stand up
<CptHawkins> Ok then... looks like we have our strike team.
<CptHawkins> Your training will begin immediately.
<CptHawkins> (Fast-forwards to the day the training ends. the day before the mission)
<CptHawkins> (that way we can get to the good part )
<Miller> (ok)
* Miller has a smoke to calm his nerves
* CptHawkins checks his improved armor. An upgraded comm system had been installed, plates added, and an improved HUD.
<CptHawkins> *Lock
* Lock checks his improved armor. An upgraded comm system had been installed, plates added, and an improved HUD.
<Lock> Sweeet
* Miller puts his new armor on
* Lock straps on his Assault Cannon, then thinks better of it. This was going to be a close quarters fight, at least until they got to the hangar. He slings it over his back and draws his M6D
<Lock> (the armor looks the same on the outside, just improved tech)
<Miller> (k)
<Lock> Officers begin directing the team into a collection of Drop Pods, some used by ODST's, even a few used by the Elites
* Miller also draws his M6D in favor of his fuel rod
* Miller runs for an ODST drop pod
<CptHawkins> These pods have been outfitted with small thrusters to give you some control during the landing. They also have more armor, as you will be punching THROUGH the hull of the airlock.
<Lock> ...
<Lock> You're kidding me.
<CptHawkins> Nope
<Lock> ... ok then...
* Lock climbs into his pod
<CptHawkins> Scramble all fighters. Give these boys the distraction they need.
<CptHawkins> *pilots* Sir, yes sir!
* Miller climbs in
*** CptHawkins is now known as Assault
*** Assault is now known as AssaultTeam
* Miller wishes he could have another smoke but removes his helmet and takes a drink from a flask containing alcohol
* AssaultTeam climbs into their pods and await the signal to launch
* Lock awaits the signal, then hears multiple explosions from the dogfights going on outside
<Lock> *pods launch*
* Miller waits for the signal while pondering why his old buddy Bob switched rooms
<Miller> whoa
<Lock> AGH!
<Lock> *pods begin zooming toward the station*
<Lock> Why did I volunteer for this?
* Lock 's pod hits the hull, shudders violently, then crashes into the hangar bay
* AssaultTeam 's pods follow
<Lock> Airlock closes around the hangar and pressure equalizes outside.
* Miller closes his eyes as his pod breaks through the metal
<Lock> *Airlock closes around the hangar and pressure equalizes outside.*
* Lock kicks out the door of his pod and jumps out, M6D raised
<Lock> ... no one's here...
<Miller> great
<Lock> (the hangar we landed in is abadoned. a loading zone for cargo ships)
* AssaultTeam form up and begin sweeping the halls leading out of the hangar
<Lock> Wait up! *follows*
<Miller> wait shouldn't we loot the crates in there..nevermind
<Lock> We will later, no way to carry them where we're goin'.
* AssaultTeam splits into smaller groups and splits up to search the station
<Lock> Hey Miller, team up?
*** AssaultTeam [n=4ab5f9d9@gateway/web/cgi-irc/irc.wikia.com/x-ccd9e3d1e8538561] has quit ["CGI:IRC"]
<Miller> h** yeah
<Lock> ok, let's see, if i was a Covenant Secret, where would I hide?
<Miller> hmm
<Miller> under some active camo?
* Lock steps over to a terminal, then inserts a codebreaker
<Lock> (codebreaker is kind of like a dumb ai, only dumber. it just translates and open doors. no holographic avatat)
<Miller> (I know)
* Lock brings up a map
<Lock> Let's see... crap...
<Lock> They blanked out the hangar on the map
<Lock> hmmm...
<Miller> is there a random blank hole in the map?
<Lock> No, they marked the halls that lead to it as dead ends. No way to tell which ones go to it, and which ones are just... dead ends
<Lock> ...There's an awful lot of power conduits feeding into this spot right here*points at map*. Looks like if we follow the cord, we'll find whatever they're building.
<Miller> lets do it
* Lock downloads a portion of the map to his hud
* Lock transmits it to Miller
* Lock keeps his M6D drawn, then quietly proceeds down the hallway
* Miller clenches his M6D even tighter
<Lock> Looks like our buddies have been through here. Look. *points at dead grunts heaped into a corner*
<Lock> ... took all the good stuff too...
<Miller> dang it
<Miller> we are just going to have to find something better
* Lock continues down the corridor, then almost bumps into a patrol rounding the corner
<Lock> (an Elite, and 2 jackals
<Lock> )
<Lock> WOAH! *fires off M6D*
<Miller> I call the helmet
* Miller draws Fuel Rod Gun and opens fire
<Lock> *Elite roars and charges him, plasma rifle drawn*
<Lock> Careful with that Fuel Rod...*stray shot lands nearby*
<Lock> Ooof!
* Lock hurtles into the wall
<Lock> ...ouch...
<Miller> sorry
* Miller shoulders it and fires his M6D
* Lock shakes his head and looks up to find the elite standing over him. Lock sidesteps, watches as the elite charges by, and wheels in behind it, placing three rounds into the base of its neck
<Lock> *Elite tumbles to the ground*
* Miller rips the helmet from the elites head
<Lock> *jackals start up shields and build up overcharegs*
* Miller tosses one of the elites gernades
* Lock ducks into an alcove, engages his scope, and fires on the jackal
<Miller> (lol its pouring here)
* Lock steps over the carnage and picks through their belongings
* Lock pulls off the jackal shield gauntlets and tossess one to miller
* Miller grabs a jackles sheild and puts the elite helmet in his pack
<Miller> (lol you read my mind)
<Lock> Looks like they may have to recharge for a while.
<Miller> hopefully we won't need them for a while
* Lock picks up a plasma grenade and an energy cutlass (a needler shard used as a knife)
* Lock slides the piece of crystal into his pocket and clips the grenade to his belt
* Miller also picks up gernades and an energy cutlass
<Miller> alright lets keep moving
<Lock> Lemme see the helmet
<Lock> (it was a blue minor)
* Miller pulls the helmet from his bag
* Lock takes the helmet and turns it around, noticing a small ship extending from a socket in the side
* Lock hands the helmet back and slides the chip into his own helmet, scrolling through mission logs and security protocols
* Miller places it back into his bag to add to his collection
<Miller> anything interesting
<Lock> ...Looks like we may have our hangar. The cables where leading off to the engine room. We need to go right, not left.
<Miller> alright lets roll
* Miller reloads his pistol
* Lock changes direction and walks toward the hangar. He stops and ducks into an alcove, then gestures for Miller to do the same
* Miller follows
* Lock quietly reloads, then gestures miller into the alcove as a patrol walks by
* Lock waits for them to pass, then continues to the hangar
* Miller follows
<Lock> (wanna fast-forward through the walking and skip to the part when we're outside the hangar?)
<Miller> (sure)
<Lock> (ok)
* Lock peeks around the corner, noticing most of the squad waiting in a crevice in the wall. Lock drops to a crouch and runs to join them
<Lock> What's the holdup?
<Lock> *squad* The guards have been holding on to the hangar with all they've got. We lost a lot of our guys in the initial charge
<Miller> The Calvery has arrived *points to Fuel Rod Gun*
* Lock draws his assault cannon
<Lock> We'll soften 'em up, then meet you inside.
* Lock charges his cannon, then counts to 3
<Lock> 1
<Lock> 2
<Lock> 3
* Miller opens fire with his Fuel Rod Gun
* Lock fires at the doorway*
<Lock> *startled elites look up and attempt to dive for cover, only to be blown away*
* Lock pumps another round into the door, creating a hole for the team to enter
<Miller> (Lol this is a great RP..its different )
<Lock> Go go go!
<Lock> (yeah)
* Miller charges
* Lock looks over his shoulder, then runs into the doorway
* Miller shoulders Fuel Rod and draws pistol
* Lock notices a large amount of engineers. These guys would be great on the <insert pirate ship name here>. He made a mental note to grab some later
* Lock sweeps the room with his cannon, looking for enemies.
* Lock looks up, and sees an experimental covenant ship suspended above the deck
<Lock> Holy...
<Lock> I call it
<Miller> Don't shoot the Engineers (to rest of team)
<Miller> Captain won't like that
<Lock> 2 men guard the ramp, as the rest of us enter the cruiser
<Miller> I am not guarding the stupid ramp
* Lock enters, the ship, noticing its corridors were vacant, except for the occasional engineer.
<Miller> wheres the crew?
<Lock> ...something's not right... there wasnt very much resistance outside...
* Miller keeps his pistol in the ready to fire postion
<Lock> And for someting like this.. *lights go out*
<Lock> *What the?!*
<Miller> oh god
<Lock> *energy swords and plasma pistols light up in the darkness*
* Miller curses
<Miller> if I hadn't seen those thing before we may of had a little accident
* Lock flips on his spotlamp and begins pumping rounds into the figures
* Miller turns night vision thing (thats in Odst)
* Miller opens fire
* Lock bowls a frag into the fray
<Lock> GRENADE!
* Lock dives for cover as it blows
* Lock watches as several of the weapons wink off.
<Miller> yeah we got one
* Miller tosses another gernade
<Miller> EAT IT you ALIEN FREAKS
* Lock turns around, only to be grabbed and lifted into the air by a zealot with a sword
<Lock> *gasps*
* Lock drops his pistol as the elite raises him to its face
<Lock> *elite draws back his sword and prepares to lunge*
* Lock draws his energy cutlass and sinks it into the elite's chest
* Miller tosses his energy cutlass at it
<Lock> *the elite looks down, flinches, and drops Lock. seconds later, the shard explodes*
<Lock> *shards
<Lock> this one is mine when we get back to base
* Lock leaves it where it lay, then begins running for the bridge
* Lock looks around and realizes that only he, Miller, and 3 others had survived
* Lock arives at the bridge, then plugs in his codebreaker, then begins trying to get the thing prepped for launch
* Miller takes Zealots helmet and wonders if the alien troopers could make it useable for him
<Lock> Ok, everyone grab whatcha can. Charging Docks, Plasma Batteries, weapons, Engineers, anything. We got 5 minutes.
* Lock returns to the ramp, pulls the plates from the zealot, and brings them to the bridge
<Lock> Hey! You got the blue one's helmet...
* Miller takes a Majors Plates as well red is awesome
<Lock> Give me the blue one and you can have the gold
<Miller> ok
* Miller hands him the blue ones helmet
* Lock catches it and sets it in his pile
* Lock watches as teh squad brings a few engineers into the ship
* Lock runs out and starts hauling in plasma batteries and charging docks
<Lock> Come on guys! 2 minutes until the rest of the security team gets here!

* Lock feels the cruiser shudder as mortarts slam into it, then raises the shields
<Lock> Somebody get a bead on that tank!
<Lock> *a squad member jumps on the weapon controls and pulses a turret at it*

* Lock repositions the ship for a broadside.
<Miller> Tell the Captain we found a new toy
<Miller> and not to shoot at us
<Lock> Everyone, on a turret. Let's light 'em up!

* Miller does the same
<Miller> I wish I was an officer
<Miller> and had this job
<Lock> We will be after this!

<Lock> We got 'em!
<Miller> I didn't know there would be fireworks here
<Lock> hehe
<Miller> I should of brought my camera
* Lock pats his assault cannon and begins flying back to base
<Lock> (fast-forward to docking with our pirate ship?)
<Lock> (We could call the main ship the Pandora)
<Lock> (wanna?)
<Miller> (sure nice name)
<Lock> (makes a good name for a pirate ship)

<Lock> *Hawkins* yep
<Lock> (hold on, let me check ranks. you will be second in command on my ship)
<Miller> (ok)
<Lock> i wanna make Miller the commander of my crew. Without his help, I'd be a stain on the wall of the boarding ramp.

<Miller> (so I just the improved HUD )
<Lock> (unless, you made it to where it would fit over your own helmet perhaps)
<Miller> (and a cool looking helmet)
<Miller> (wait I like that idea)
* Miller places his Major shoulders on
<Lock> (or yes, better hud, golden plates on the side, and some spikes sweeping off the sides)
<Lock> (of your helmet)
<Miller> (even better)
* Miller grabs the rarest helmet in his collection a Supreme Commander Helmet he found looting an elite armory
* Lock continues touring the ship, and finds a room full of charging docks. never again would they have to worry about a depleted plasma pistol
* Miller looks for Lock
<Miller> Lock I have a present for you
<Lock> ?
<Lock> (... how'd your name go red?)
<Miller> (cause I used your name)
<Lock> (oh. cool)
<Lock> (i try)
<Lock> (Miller)
<Lock> ( Miller )
<Lock> Miller
<Lock> (...)
<Miller> (didn't work how odd)
<Lock> (i dont see my name going red... oh well)
<Lock> (continue)
* Miller hands Miller the purple helmet
<Miller> *Lock
<Lock> ...really? mine?
<Lock> I cant take this. Keep it
<Miller> no its yours Captain
<Lock> I got the Devastator. You can at least keep the helmet
<Miller> you deserve it
<Miller> I got the gold helmet
<Lock> ...Fine. I'll put it up on my wall.
* Lock takes the helmet, then goes to put it on his office wall
<Miller> say you beat him in a hand to hand fight
<Lock> eh, not without your second shard
<Lock> But thanks all the same
<Miller> I was talking about the Purple guy
<Miller> nobody would now
<Lock> oh
<Lock> Ok then
<Miller> well we have some work to do
* Lock watches as a group of troopers trek into the ship with a box of depleted plasma weapons, then begin plugging them into the charging docks
* Miller salutes an walks off
* Miller goes and inspects the mess hall
<Lock> Hey, there's Bob
<Lock> Hey Bob
<Lock> *Bob waves*
<Miller> (hold on)
*** Bob-the-Alien-Tr [n=a6528bd6@gateway/web/cgi-irc/irc.wikia.com/x-47fb3d7939a75427] has joined #wikia-pt
<Bob-the-Alien-Tr> hello Captain
<Lock> Hey, we picked up a Wraith before we bailed. See what you can do about translating the control panels if you have time
* Bob-the-Alien-Tr resumes plugging in the depleted weapons
<Bob-the-Alien-Tr> Can do sir
* Lock tossess Bob a small covenant coin he found in the corridors of the Station, then returns to his office
<Bob-the-Alien-Tr> thank you sir you are too kind
* Bob-the-Alien-Tr walks off to attend to the Wraith
* Miller sees that a variety of human and alien food is in the mess
<Miller> good work
<Miller> but try to do something about the seating its odd
* Lock mounts the helmet, then goes to join Miller in the cafeteria
* Miller stares at the Thorn Beast a Covenant fine meat
* Bob-the-Alien-Tr goes into the Wraith and translate the software into English and adds a feature to turn it on or off
* Bob-the-Alien-Tr then proceeds to go to the bridge and do the same
<Miller> I wonder what half this stuff is
* Lock joins in staring at the beast
<Lock> ... I'm not eating that
* Miller pokes a glob that looks like jello
<Miller> I dare you to eat this
<Lock> Gimme a burger and rootbeer anyday
<Miller> Give me a burger and an ice cold beer and I won't complain
* Lock grabs a can of rootbeer, then takes a seat
* Miller grabs a "cold one" and some french fries and has a seat
<Miller> We need to head to UNSC space to get some supplies sometime this ship is too alien
<Lock> OK, so now that we have our own ship, we can pick our missions, choose our targets *takes a drink*, all that good stuff
<Miller> I now were not exactly welcome there but at least we don't attack em
<Lock> Yeah, that was what I was wanting to do. Restock on some good 'ol ballistic weaponry
<Miller> Maby Bob would know some Covennat real estate ready for the picking
<Lock> I heard there are some old MA5's being auctioned off.
<Miller> I agree this plasma stuff probally aint to heathly
<Lock> (MA5Bs, from H1. 60 round clips. H3 has the MA5C)
<Miller> Well I do know this guy who knows this guy who works for the black market
<Miller> not legal but some good stuff there
<Miller> (I know I like the Halo 1 better even if I haven't used it)
<Lock> Dude. We're pirates. EVERYBODY knows a guy in the black market.
<Lock> (yeah, didnt pack as much of a punch, but hey, you never had to reload XD. and also much more balanced)
<Miller> but this guy can get it for free
<Lock> MA5's?
<Miller> but most guys can
<Miller> yeah
<Miller> this guys some top rebel dude
<Lock> Hmm.. tell him we'll stay in touch
<Miller> alright
<Lock> Well... then we'de be doing the UNSC a favor... taking illegal weaponry from rebel troops...
<Miller> but I may have to pay him a "finders" fee..alot cheaper then buying it though
<Miller> mmhmm
<Lock> So... technically, we're helping
<Miller> yes
<Lock> ok, i feel better. see how many you can get your hands on
<Miller> but the UNSC seems to secretive and corrupt for my tastes
<Miller> Can do
<Miller> Once we get radio online and on standard frequency
<Miller> (Covenant probally use something different)
<Lock> Ok, so, here's what we got so far: We grab some of those MA5B's from your pal, set our radios to UNSC frequency, resupply, then....
<Miller> we steal more tech to sell on the blakc market
<Lock> But from where? Meh, we can ask Bob.
<Miller> so we can buy the more fancy items like some newer weapons
<Miller> Or we could steal from the rebels..some of those MAKO drones and APC Warthogs
<Lock> and brute shots. I want a grenade launcher
<Miller> maby some nukes as well
<Lock> yeah, we'll need to dig up a rebel base and "borrow" some of their kit.
<Miller> maby the UNSC will lay off a bit
<Lock> And... as for nukes... we may wanna take it easy on those. We should probably stick with the Pulse Laser for now
<Miller> (were not hostile just not the best of friends)
<Lock> (yeah)
<Lock> *yawns*
<Lock> Well, I guess we should get some sleep. We can get ready for the resupply run tommorow.
<Miller> Yeah
<Miller> we earned it
* Lock stands, finishes his drink, then heads for his office.
<Miller> ..we should just go to the freezer
<Lock> suit yourself... I hate those things
<Miller> well I just figured we could make the jump while we slept
<Miller> screw it
<Lock> i really want some normal sleep, we can jump tommorow
<Miller> alright
* Miller rubs his beard
<Miller> yep
Part II
* Miller does the secret knock
<Black_Dog> who is it?
<Miller> Its me Red Dog
* Black_Dog opens door
* Black_Dog gives Miller a hug
* Lock checks his M6D, then enters
* Lock approaches the group
<Black_Dog> who is he?
<Lock> "Your worst nightmare", Lock says, his expression serious.
<Lock> *laughs*
<Lock> Just kidding. Captain Lock *casually salutes*
<Black_Dog> Yes hello Captain..your different then what he told me of you...I thought you were older
<Lock> Well, recent promotion.
<Black_Dog> Ah I see
<Lock> We jacked a cruiser.
<Miller> yes
<Black_Dog> interesting...how much would you sell it for?
<Lock> not for sale
<Black_Dog> I give you entire Warehouse for it along with others?
<Lock> Unless you have a better one.
<Lock> But I highly doubt you do.
<Black_Dog> and of course a nice ship as well. a Colony Ship fully equipped
<Lock> Experimental Covenant Cruiser. Complete with Pulse Laser
<Black_Dog> ahh well that is my final offer all I have to sell you for my boss would have my hide
<Lock> How about weapons?
<Black_Dog> Weapons..I give you two warehouses fully stocked
<Lock> For the Cruiser?
<Black_Dog> yes
<Lock> No. Then we have no reason for the weapons. We need weapons for the crew, which in turn is needed for our cruiser.
<Black_Dog> you may keep crew we have crews of our own
<Lock> But if we have no ship for our crew, we wont need a crew, then we wont need weapons
<Lock> Just let us see your inventory
<Black_Dog> but I give you ship,warehouse and allow you to keep crew
<Black_Dog> ..very well
* Black_Dog claps and more lights come on revealing shelves of various weapons
* Lock browses the aisles
<Lock> Got any Battle Rifles?
<Black_Dog> could of pull some strings buddy. I will give you these plasma pistols we have a bunch of them
<Black_Dog> *Miller
<Black_Dog> One moment Captain
<Black_Dog> perhaps comrade
<Black_Dog> Battle Rifles...check aisle 7
<Black_Dog> row L
* Lock walks down to the crates on the row
* Lock pulls out a banged up battle rifle
<Black_Dog> sorry for the damaged he had to erm..salvage that
<Black_Dog> you like?
<Lock> Hmmm... lookin' for something that packs a bit more of a punch. But I'll keep this in mind.
<Black_Dog> try row K
* Lock paces down to row k, then pulls out a box
<Black_Dog> newer but is not in best shape we had to save that from..erm a fire
<Lock> Hey, an M247!
)
* Lock picks it up and peers down the sights
<Black_Dog> you like?
* Lock nods
<Black_Dog> very well now how you like to pay for it?
<Black_Dog> the price is on box
<Lock> We got a recharge dock. You can recharge your covenant weaponry.
<Lock> I'll give you one of those for this M247.
<Black_Dog> fine..fine
<Lock> I'll have it sent by later. Found anything you like, Miller?
* Miller pulls out a Confetti Maker
* Miller takes a look but buts it back
* Miller pulls out a MA5K
<Lock> *whistles* Nice.
<Miller> I will take 10 crates and you still owe from saving you from the fuzz
* Black_Dog grumbles
<Black_Dog> fine fine
<Lock> yeah, the guys are gonna love these...
<Miller> I will also need ammo as well
<Miller> and now were even
<Black_Dog> yes well great

<Miller> I can get us a discount..not free but let me pay for em somehow
<Lock> A gauss hog would be wonderful.
<Black_Dog> right this way
* Lock follows
* Black_Dog hits a button a remote
<Black_Dog> *an alarm sounds* (just car keys)
<Black_Dog> whoops that’s my car
* Black_Dog presses another button on another remote
* Black_Dog door opens
* Lock walks over for closer inspection
<Black_Dog> Take a look these were also damaged in a "fire"
<Lock> Looks like the cannon's shot. But I'm surprised you were even able to get your hands on this one.
<Lock> Whaddaya want for it?
<Lock> And no, we will not sell you the cruiser
<Black_Dog> I could use a supply ship
<Lock> Hmmm... throw in some MA5B's, and you have a deal.
<Black_Dog> you have a deal Captain
* Lock hops in the hog and loads their equipment
<Lock> Pleasure doing business with you. *drives hog into the cargo bay of supply ship*
<Lock> Ok Miller, we all set?
<Black_Dog> yes come again anytime. If you happen to capture any grunts let me know I hear they are great workers. Every grunt you get you can have 2 crates of weapons and ammo
<Miller> I believe so sir
* Lock exits the hog and sits in the passenger seat of Miller's Supply Ship.
* Miller climbs into driver’s seat
<Miller> Bye Black Dog if you need any more favors you know who to call
* Miller takes off
<Lock> when we get back to the Devastator, we can get one of the Engineers working on the hog
<Miller> alright
<Miller> while his favors are good they often require raids on UNSC bases
<Miller> or ships
<Miller> however some rebels also get on his bosses black list
* Miller jumps into slip space
* Miller arrives back into real space at Harvest near the Devastator
<Lock> Alright, let's dock and get to work
* Miller docks
<Miller> Hey boys we have some new toys for you
<Miller> go unload them and but them in the armory and the garage
* Lock unloads the hog and gets an Engineer to work on it
* Miller walks off
<Lock> Oh, and we'll need a team to deliver a charging dock to these coordinates. Just leave it by the door.
* Lock sits at the captains chair of the Devastator
<Lock> *Comms Officer* Sir, the Pandora is sending a transmission
* Lock pulls it up on the screen
* Lock salutes
* Miller salutes
<Cpt_Hawkins> Hello, Lock. Good to see you and your crew are in good shape. The Pandora and her crew are going to raid a rebel base on a nearby asteroid. Would you be interested in joining us?
<Lock> Sure thing Admiral.
<Adm_Hawkins> Roger that, dock with the Pandora and we'll prep for the raid
<Adm_Hawkins> *Lock
* Lock slowly docks the ship with the Pandora, then boards when they are connected
* Lock slings his M247 over his back, then enters the Pandora
* Miller slings his MA5K across his back
* Lock and Miller walk down the hallway to the briefing room, catching a few nods from passing crewman
* Miller wonders what trophy he can get from the rebels
* Lock looks around the room, then takes a seat
* Miller takes a seat
* Miller clears his throat
<Adm_Hawkins> Ok men, we've been a bit low on funding lately and have discovered a nearby rebel asteroid. As you can see, this mission is pretty much self-explanatory. Sneak in, take what you can, and sneak out. A team will create a distraction outside while another group slips into the asteroid here. *points at diagram*
<Miller> aye aye Admiral
* Adm_Hawkins nods.
<Adm_Hawkins> Alright then. Gear up
<Adm_Hawkins> *soldiers exit the room and head for the armory*
* Miller nods salutes and exits the room to gear up
* Adm_Hawkins returns to the Devastator and grabs an extended clip, silencer, and foldable stock for his M6D, effectively turning it into a small carbine.
* Miller grabs his armor
<Adm_Hawkins> *Lock
* Lock returns to the Devastator and grabs an extended clip, silencer, and foldable stock for his M6D, effectively turning it into a small carbine.
* Miller grabs extra clips for his MA5K
* Miller grabs a few gernades and a fresh clip for his pistol
* Lock looks through a crate of ordinance and pulls out a plasma and a frag. He straps them to his belt
the docking tube, then begins the flight to the asteroid
* Lock feels the ship shudder
<Lock> What was that?
<Miller> No idea
<Lock> *tech* A frigate. The Rebels are firing on us!
<Miller> I suggest we put our sheilds on
<Miller> The Fools
* Lock engages the shields
<Lock> All batteries fire!
<Lock watches as dozens of balls of plasma hurtle toward the ships engines
<Lock> Wanna try out the Pulse Laser?
<Miller> h** yeah
<Lock> See if you can cut off their engines
* Miller takes aim and fires at the engines)
<Miller> now there just target practice sir
