what about the command squad, and Brother Korvax, Vanguard Veteran squad

Command squad will be filled with current marines. Any spaces they leave will be filled with reservists...
I think that's Avon's idea anyway.

I dunno If I'd rather be a sarge or in the command squad... but given how chapter ascencion progresses, I might as well... If I'm chosen, that is.

I think Sargeant i shigher than a command squad member...
At any rate the command squad will need experienced special weapon operatives such as me and Dave... *nudge* *nudge*

Haha, what about the chapter champion, eh?

Hell no...
Why should i let someone get vaguely close to me when i can shoot them crap out of them with a high powered plasma gun?
At any rate Captain Sam can handle anything getting too close for comfort.

And if you get into the command squad and manage to burn your hands with that plasma gun... I'll be right there to fix em.

Exactly.
And hopefully Dave will be on hand so if i get bored i have plenty of target practice...

Awww, poor you already being a Sergeant! Must be really hard! I must admit, I think, like Brother Forden, I'd expect a Sergeant to be 'higher' and at the very least you get your own squad and position of leadership, but then again a command squad is more in-your-face I'd say and is a HQ unit itself, so yeah, tricky decision man!
Heck, if you make it to the command squad and I don't, then I'd be happy to lead Squad Hellfire.

I personally wouldn't mind being a Chapter Champion either (it'd be COOL) and at the very least it'd mean I could gut Brother Forden should he shoot me, but as I said earlier, I reckon one of the Vanguard Vets should probably be the Chapter Champion if there is one.
Although, as Purple said, whomever the command squad is escorting (Captain Sam or Chapter Master Avondale) should be able to handle things in close combat. Game terms, a command squad with lots of plasma guns and an apothecary could be powerful, the FNP helping against gets hot! and the amount of fire such a squad could attract...

This is all speculation however.

Speculation with added spectacles...
Hey...
Do we get too be one of those secretive chapters that keep secrets and stuff because our Chapter Master keeps disappearing and Skittles the doom bringer tried to overthrow him?

I have a secret recipe for a painkiller so that might go with the secrecy too. You guys have been wonderful test subjects. Especially Dave because the rest of you keep shooting at him...

You're welcome...

I think the Command Squad should get a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT as our dedicated transport...

What positions do we have left? as it would be a great chance to take part in this battle report roleplay
Is there a Chaplain or Librarian and if so have those positions been taken?
Cause I would love the Independent character feel
Epistolary Librarian Hezekial/ Chaplain Hezekial ready to serve!

I would preferably be a Librarian if there is one
Thanx

Someone else has dibs on the Librarian and another person has dibs on Chaplain...
When the Command squad position rocks up you can be a normal marine but that's all we have room for.

Will somebody tell me when positions become available?

It is not yet known when new positions are available.

We'll tell you when some do...

Thanks

When is our next battle going to be?

I am not sure when our next battle will be, but as it is I have an important announcement to make.....I have decided that to make somethings easier for I have decided to give some of you positions that are non-combatent so you would still be what you are but then you have an administrative position... for example Brother Captain Sam I am deeming you as Master of training...meaning that when we are not in combat you will lead the men or women in exercises and give a detailed account on what happened every so often

Oh and Brother/Sister Dave you are to be the Master of the Recruits meaning that you will be the one to keep a tally of who is which squad and you wll also assign the new recruits to squads when there are openings and make a list of those who are in reservation


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Brother Kaspar you are also the Master of the Apothecarion... I think you can guess what that means anyway

Dave has been promoted...
Does that mean i get more points for shooting him?

Hey Purple, why don't you write a story about us like you did with the Catachan regiment?

YES!!

I am honoured Chapter Master Avondale - you duty shirking lay-about - and will do my best to fulfil the responsibilities entrusted in me, thank you sir. I shall formulate a list of the current positions, future recruits and so forth.

Does this also mean I assign people to newly formed squads, such as the upcoming Command Squad, or not?

Thank you Sir, I shall get onto it. Does this also mean that I can demote Brother Forden should I deem it necessary?

Because it would be a few pages of attempted assassinations and power plays...
That could be pretty entertaining actually...
I'll think about it...
And, i think a promotion is more in order than a demotion.

As your Captain, I order you to chronicle our exploits!

And, as the person with the highest friendly fire ratio i beg you to re-consider actually ordering me about...
I'll get round to it if i have a shiny idea...

Purple- use your wirting skills and write us something SHINY!

Kaspar, is your 'secret' painkiller morphine, by any chance?

I'll write it either when i get a shiny idea or this current project ends...

Take your time.
