I'm gonna kinda introduce my character into the story-so-far here instead of just what I did on the old site. Just to get my other character started. Heh.

I walked into the cantina, the usual wateringhole for the Legionnaires. I noticed several of the others had already made it there and were either nursing their drinks or
After talking to Wedge for a while I noticed that Ben had walked in. After dismissing myself from the bar I walked to where Ben was and sat down.

How's it going Ben?

Ben looked up at me from the menu and nodded.

After returning from the fight of the last operation I was ready for a hot shower. I stood for twenty minutes letting the hot water wash away the dirt and grim, along with the soreness from the mission. After drying off I put on some clean clothes and headed for the weight room as usual. As the door to my room slid open there standing in the door was none other than Krystal. She was trying hard to supress a smile. I instantly had the
Glad to have you back man.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Hey guys I may be in and out at times for the next couple of days. I just had my wisdom teeth out sad.gif so I've been stuck to laying down and stuff. I should be healthy enough hopefully for the beginning of the next OP. Peace.
I had to have all four out. And it wasnt that bad. I went completely under and they didnt have roots yet so it wasnt that bad. Although yesterday i did discover they put a hole in my cheek. Which isnt cool. I occasionally have fits of pain but not that bad.
Happy New Years guys. And Ben I appsolutely love that song. I have that cd and thats probably one of my favorites. There is just something about a song that goes through our history like that that moves me. Heh.
I know I voted to jump earlier but I think we could stay were we are. I can even fit my new character into the non-jump. So I wouldnt have to worry about changing that.
I looked down at the report and flipped a few pages. I let out a slow whistle and shook my head.

This is quite an extensive OP we have going here. Quite a bit of enemy assessts. Course that hasnt stopped us before. I said this more to myself than anyone else.

I looked up and nodded at Adam and then Garland. I then tu
"A final note: I realize that this operation has already gotten off to a rather...demoralizing...start. Despite this, I ask all of you to maintain a positive mindset and know that I have full faith in this unit's ability to see this mission through. If any of you wish to speak privately to any of the command staff, or myself, the door is always open. Fight well, ladies and gentlemen. Dismissed."Before Garland had left we both agreed to meet in the dinning hall for one last home meal before we left on the OP. He left to finish some business. I found myself standing alone with the bounty hunter in the briefing room. I shook my head and left.

I went to my crew quaters to gather some things before I went to the dinning hall. After gathering my pack I headed over there. Once I reached there I noticed a lot of the Leg
Well I better go. I need some rest. Bye.

I watched her go as I chuckled to myself. No wonder we like each other, I thought to myself. I shook my head. Then I remembered I needed to talk to Quatermaster. I quickly took my thin
I had continued to practice with my combat knife even with the large gash in my arm from my previous accident. As I was doing so Garland walked into the room. He slowly walked up to me. As I noticed him I stopped and put the knife up. My breathing became heavy and sweat poured on my face.

What can I do for you Captain?

We followed in closely behind Maxwell as we headed to Rhodes position. So we found ourselves there. The Major and Rhodes were communicating between eachother about something. I had switched my comm to Garland and Holmes frequencies only and set up a defensive perimeter. I watched for any signs of enemy contact. I keyed my radio.

I agknowledge the Major. I then turned and headed for the Dragon. Once I got there and we faced off I keyed in the radio.

Can someone get the Dragon distracted some? My Vulutre is more for close combat and not long range like normal. Once I get in close I'll be fine.
Sorry its been a while guys. And sorry its extremely short.

"Tiger Lance, report in. What's everyone's status?"

I'm good sir.

Alright. I need someone with me. Holmes. Stick with me. I cant take on one by myself. Not with this short range weaponry.

I pushed my Vulture forward. Sweat began to bead across my brow as the heat inside the cockpit rose steadily. I fired my PPC at the Grand Dragon. The bolt of pure energy splashed across the che
*****Hey if someone can somehow fit me in here I will jump back in. I think I have caught myself up and all. Thanks*****
Take 'em out Alex!

I had holstered my Desert Eagle and pulled the LAW off of my back. I aimed carefully as the SAL and fired the weapon. A loud thump echoed through the room as the 60mm round exited the tube. A few seconds later there was a loud report and a ball of fire bellowed out from where the SAL's had just pr
I would love to do this but unfortunately my photoshop is gone and I dont have a scanner. So I'm usless. But if anybody volutneers for this contact me by PM or MSN (taavitts@hotmail.com) or AIM (ShadowHawkTa) cause I love coming up with ideas like this.
Here we go guys. Here is what I have so far. Its not much and I dont have the names but its a start.

Just so yall know from they go from up to down in rank starting on the left.

Ben I have a few more ideas to fill in some of the gaps in my emblems. Problem is I cant acess a computer long enough to actually make them.
Guys here is the best LEGO EVER! Created by ME!!! If I wanted to I could actually buy this. LEGO would actually send me the pieces to do so. But I'm not going to. Heh. To expensive. And just so you know its a Vulture, LEGO style!


IPB Image
Thanks.
Here you go guys.

http://www.lego.com/eng/factory/default.asp

Just click the link that says "Getting Started" and that should get you where you need to go.
What they do is whatever kits you end up using to create your lego they send you. Part of the problem is they dont have enough pieces in kits so you end up using a bunch. My lego only used about 80 or so pieces, but they were gonna have to send 382 pieces cause of the kits I used. Which honestly I think is outrageous.
Just so you know that was me as a guest.
Sorry I havent been on lately guys. School and work has been crazy. And unfortunately I'm still grounded at home. I dont know how long it will be before I can post again. So sorry. Cya.

Alex
I'm back guys. Sorry I havent been here. Curse being grounded. OH well. Technically I'm not ungrounded but my mom has been letting me on the computer. So yeah. Im back! Peace


Alex
Hey. Ive been reading the MechWarrior Dark Age series. There are some pretty interesting things that happen after the Devlin Stone forms the Republic. Some pretty cool 'Mechs are popping up now.
Yeah Ill do that. It may take awhile. I'm on Patriot's Stand. But then again it may not take that long. Ive gotten that far in the series in two months. So yeah.
Yeah I know. Its kinda wierd.
Okay someone on here I think mentioned a download for MW4 Mercenaries. I want to download it but i cant remember the URL. Does anyone know it?
Thanks Ben
That last post was from me guys. Here is another crazy video of a guy who gets worked up about Counter Strike. Some of you probably have seen it already.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=83...3847&q=FPS+Doug

This guy is for real. He aint just fakin it. SO yeah. Enjoy.
Sorry guys. I'm still grounded so thats why I havent posted. Sorry guys. Hopefully Ill be ungrounded soon.
I think this would be a pretty cool idea. I mean the added equipment would be nice. Especially the jump ship. I think that it would be a pretty cool idea. Might make for some interesting storylines later on.
Hey guys I should be back soon. I only have 11 days of school left. YAY! So I should be back once I'm out of school. If not then, then I will be on as soon as my mom lets me have my laptop (graduation present) so I should be able to join again soon. Sorry for being gone so long. Peace.


Alex
Hey guys. I think I am officially back. Sorry about being gone for so freakin long. Oh well. Anyway, Ben I had a question. I have a book I'm working on and I was wondering if I could post what I have so far so yall can critque it? If so where do you want me to post it?
Sweet. Alright. Ill try and get the first part of it on here tonight.
Im here. Finally
Hey guys. Sorry I havent been able to post. Between classes, homework, and other things I havent had the time. I am still here though. Ben feel free to post for me if you want.
Hey guys just to let you know I am leaving tomorrow to go home for the weekend. I will be taking my laptop back home with me but I probably wont be using it. So I will be back Monday night.

Sorry that was my as a guest. Heh. Ill have the second part of chapter 1 up hopefully by tomorrow.
(Continued from Chapter 1)

A smallish man stepped up to the general as they watched Alex and Garrett step into the street below. "Does he know?" The man asked quietly. "No," the general replied as he stepped from the window and pressed a button on his desk. A calm female voice replied, "Yes general?" General Williams calmly and cooly replied. "Have someone watche them." He looked up to the man, with a stern voice. "We can only hope he leads

Alex bumped up and down as he drove over the gravel and dirt road. He was greatful that his now ancient Xterra could take such punishment. After several miles of pothole filled road he came to a ver large house. He pulled into the small driveway and cut the engine. After ringing the doorbell a beautiful woman came to the door. "Hey Madison!" The woman hugged Alex as she recognized who addressed her. "Alex! Good to see you." The wo

The men spent several minutes scowring through papers of dossiers and other files. Bobby was the first to speak up. "What about Harrison?" "No. He's too jumpy, and definately too loud." Ron nodded in agreement with Garrett. After another moment of silence Ron spoke up. "How about this Will Cager? Most people just call him Cager, but he was with the Falcons after you guys left. Excellent shot, but even better with demolitions.&quo
Continued form Chapter 1

Three months later the Firebirds found themselves in the spaceport in New Dallas. After taking a short trasport ride from the main gate to the Savior's birth, they slowly stepped out admiring the cruiser. Crews were about prepping the ship. Large trucks, accompanied by large cranes loaded the large sized missles into the tubes of the Mytock Archer Missle system. Garrett was the first to break the silence between the men.

Blind jump en route to unknown location

After a couple hours of fighting about the jump and a restless night of sleep things seemed to get back to normal. Alex rested his head on his hand. He glanced over at Crack. "Crack were any of those battlecruisers able to track us?" Crack glanced at his s
Sorry I havent posted a new one yet guys. I just havent had the time lately. I will be sure to have a new one posted by the end of Tuesday.
I stepped into the simulator room and activated the mic for the rest of the facility.

Attention all Legionnaires. This is Sergeant Thorn. If anyone is up for a little destruction match come to the simulator room. You have fifteen minutes.

"Hey there, Alex - what program are you planning to run?"

It was Hobson. I peered over to him and smiled.

Classic free-for-all. On the snowy plains of Northwind. Two lives. Your choice of vehicle or 'Mech.<
Very nice. I like it.
Dude I love the new layout. Its so freakin cool. Definately goes with the Crayven logo and everything.
Dude I am so gonna do that RPG. Only because I am most familiar with the Dark Age since I'm reading that series. Heh. That sounds sweet
Hey I have been playing MA 2 on xbox live lately and wanted to see if any of you guys wanted to pull it out of the dust and play with me sometime. Just let me know. My gamertag is ShadowTa.
Alright. Cant forget those games. Heh. Question is how do you know that? Is there something that you need to let us know Keith? Heh. Have fun with your 360s while I sit with my now ancient Xbox. Oh well. Halo 3 is gonna make me buy a 360 anyway.
Heh. Ill tell yall an addiciting game is EVE Online. That is a pretty sweet game let me tell ya. Heh.
Hey guys this is a video I made last night using Windows Movie Maker. Hope you enjoy. Its kinda big so be patient.

Video
All those videos are actually trailers and/or in game movies that I just got from the internet. And I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. That was the first time I used Windows Movie Maker. Heh. Glad you liked it. I'm actually thinking about doing one for Halo 2. Dont know yet though. If yall have other ideas let me know.
GRADUATION DAY! I graduate today. WOOT!
Hey Ben just to let you know I'm probably gonna do both sites....I'm gonna stay with the Legionnaires on here but on the Dark Age site I think my character is going to go the clan route. Just thought I would let you know
Sorry if I havent been posting. I have been totally addicted and immersed in the world known as EVE Online. Check it out. If you join let me know and you could join my corp. We would be glad to help you out. If you join send me an EVEmail to Garrett Garland. (Sorry Garrett but I used your characters name. I'm not good at coming up with names.)

"Ladies and gentlement if you'll take your seats, we can commence the briefing."

I settled down in my seat as the Major began to address us. I shifted a little, as the hair on my neck began to raise. I couldn't place the feeling. Something felt different. It might have been the operation we were about to embar
Everyone got up and shuffled out of the briefing room. I walked down the hall with Garrett catching up with him since he had been gone.

I listened intently to what Garrett was saying. Slowly the other shifted as Garrett explained what most of us felt. I shifted in my seat as Garland finished. We all looked at each other. Each searching for something to say in the others. Finally after some silence Wedge broke the silence.

I watched as Aisa walked away. It would take time for her to trust me. I finished putting up my tray and then headed for the Liberty.

"However - in this case...we have a witness"

My eyebrows shot up. I even sat up a little straighter. This struck me as intersting. How could you be possibly be considered a witness. If the planet was blown up, the entire planet could be considered a witness. I was already uncomfortable from the situation. Now I was ev
I nodded in agreement with Garland. I prefered being in a 'Mech than anything else. I was already not liking how this was going. It was sounding more and more like a suicide mission. Not that the Legionnaires hadn't been on one before. This one sounded more as if there wouldn't be a great chance of survival.

I looked around at the others as they tried to discuss what to do. I felt out of place because I had no

"I volunteer my lance to board that warship first. Somebody has to deal with those turrets and keep the DropShips clean, quiaff?"

I was sitting on the foot of my Vulture looking over the weapons I had chosen for this mission. I finished cleaning the assault rifle. I put the clip in, and chambered the first round. A loud click followed drawing several stares. I ignored them. I sat the assault rifle down and picked up my Desert Eagle. I smiled as I put the .5 caliber rounds into the clip. Once I was finished this I put it into my hip holster. I then picked
Reade made it to the pod and started the firing sequence. He was getting antsy as me and Wedge made our way toward the door to the pod.

We were almost there when Wedge got his pack stuck on something in the corridor.

Sorry I havent posted in a while guys. I had orientation this weekend and I've been really busy with getting stuff ready for college. Hopefully I will be able to psot a little more now that is over with.
I just havent been able to post lately because of work, hanging out with my girlfriend, and getting things finalized before I leave for Kansas State. Ill be sure to get a post up soon. But dont close down the site.
He was definately here before my time. Welcome.
I agree with Ben. What spare time?

If I do have spare time it I can usually be found either with friends, with my girlfriend, with my guitar, or some for of music. Actually anywhere I go or do I have music on anyway.

I also enjoy playing EVE Online. And starting in two weeks I'll will be starting my freshman year at Kansas State doing a double major in Electrical/Computer Engineering. So I will be a computer buff one day. =P
You know there is something going on. This site is bad luck. Now my house was hit with lightning. Luckily nothing was blown out but my parents are having to do a complete reboot of their comp. Heh. Who will be next when the lightning stirkes? Who knows? =P
Im 100% rock. Plan and simple. Most of yall know I play guitar so it kinda goes with that. So yeah. I like just about all types of rock, except Emo. Emo is just stupid.

Im gonna have to put once in a while. Ive had a hard time posting lately cause of class. I have two tests this week.
I remember I was in the eighth grade. I had just walked into third period when my teacher turned on the tv. We sat the whole period, lesson lost out the window, watching the news. I was dumbfounded. I thought surely this isnt possible.

After the period there was just a lull over the school. Students were silent. No one really talked. In each class the tv was left on in the background as the teachers attempted to have class, but to no avail.

Getting home that afternoon noth
I am going to have to go with the Uziel. Small and quick, yet still able to pack a punch. Very effective 'Mech.
Holy cow its Wedge. Hey there. And hello lilmee.
I sat in the corner of a small cell. The cell was only a 6 by 5 foot room that had no furnishings at all. The cell next to me contained Thastus. On the other side of her was the cell that held the General. Although he was not there most of the time. Probably enduring some kind of torture.

Over the course of seeral days I had been beaten just as Thastus was. The guards here seemed bigger, and stronger. There also seemed to
"Alex...Thorn...I ask Clan Wolf for surkai, that you and I may from this day forth be considered...trothkin."

I nodded, almost shocked at Aisa's change. She struggled to complete the words through her scratchy throat.

I nodded as Thastus said that she had a screwdriver.

"Okay here is what we can do." I then laid my plans out. The idea was to be able to get us both out of our cells at the same time. I thought the best way to do this was either start picking a fight with each other or some of the other prisoners. That way they would
Nick led us to Maxwell. To our suprise he was working for LIC. The group continued in silence. Soon we were outside of Maxwell's cell. Nick opened the cell to reveal a battered man.

Im so sorry I wasnt able to post much on the last OP. Life has been really really crazy lately. First me and my girlfriend were having some problems but those are fixed and everything is good. Next grades are crazy so Ive been trying to improve those. Then I've been thinking about transfering back to the University back at home.

I stepped off the lift from the bridge. I had just finished helping berth the four light 'Mechs the Legionnaires were able to bring from Sheratan. I was piloting one of the Locusts they had brought with them. While transfering the 'Mech I had taken a liking to the 'Mech. Smooth with its motions it was a quite a deadly little 'Mech. I had decided I would talk to Garrett about volunteering to use the light 'Mech.
I smiled like a child that had just woke up on Christmas morning.

"I would prefer the SRM one, sir. I will need a little training on it, since I'm not quite used to the gyros. But I am willing to learn."
After the Dauntless landed Captain Garland gave us the chance to find our own BattleMechs. I was not one to be attached to a BattleMech. Especially after the ones I had wrecked. The quatermaster and me had a history of getting into arguments about how I treated my 'Mechs. Thing was I hadnt found the right one yet.

As I walked the streets trying to think of what 'Mech I would want to pilot, my thoughts were drawn t

We have have beaten top teams such as Auburn (No. 2 at the time), Tennessee (No. 13 at the time), Alabama, and South Carolina. Our remaining games are LSU (No. 9) and Florida (No. 3).

I looked up from my notes. This operation seemed simple enough. But like always it was the simple ones that turned out ugly. Yet it was still a good footing for the Legionnaires to get up and running again. I silently waited for everyone to finish their questions.

MechWarriors, tomorrow at 0800 the infantry has a little somethi
The parade was utterly boring and useless. As we slowly made our way to the palace I became bored and drummed my fingers on my command chair. I almost made a comment outloud, but bit the remark back not wanting to upset Garrett. Soon we came to a stop and lined up. I found myself facing Charles. As I looked closer to his 'Mech it appeared the man had one of his cigars in his mouth. Amused I gave a slight smirk.
As the feast rolled on, several of the Legionnaires were picking up lovely Canopian women to keep them company. Try as I might, although being as picky as I was, I couldnt find one suitable for the time being. With a defeated look on my face, I settled down and sat on the other side fo Garrett and adjacent to Captain Desperado.

Soon the Governess was announced and she purposed a toast to those that helped the city, includi
After such a long, long battle I gladly took a shower. I had a long scar down my right arm from a piece of my ferroglass from my cockpit.

After the hot shower I put on some comfortable clothes, and headed down the gym to work out the soreness in my right arm. Along the way I met a fuming Desperado.

"Hey there Desperado. Whats going on man?"

"All crew: prepare for hyperspace jump. Secure your stations and go to condition blue. We will be commencing transition in five minutes."

I had been making the necessary adjustments to my Uziel when the announcement was made. Luckily for me I had just finished adding the Gauss Rifles to the arms, and adding the
I began the final check on my Uziel before Castle lance was to dissengage from the dropship. I took a deep breath, not caring that it would activate the mic. I needed to calm down my nerves. To me this mission seemed more suicidal than the plan that me and Thastus had come up with to escape the prison back on Kittery.

I lowered my head in honor of the warrior. Losing a trothkin left me somewhat empty, but the fact
Okay so I was watching something today about a new Navy fighter. The new F-18 SuperHornet. Big deal right? I dont know. Thing is I think we are on our way to a neurohelmet here. The helmet used by the pilots actually responds to the head movements of the pilot. When the pilot turns his head sensors in the helmet actually relay information from the movement to a display in the visor. Not only this with the nod of the pilots head he can fire a weapon in the direction he is looking in. Thus allowin
Welcome aboard Talus
Okay I was reading some of the posts that Talus was making and I had a question. I have been here a year and a half now and I dont even know what the chain of command is around here. I just know Ben, Garrett, and Desperado are above me. Anyone else I am missing?

So if someone could, it would be nice to list the chain of command, cause I have gotten confused before. tongue.gif

I was just about leave when the answer came through the speaker. I got close to the microphone so I didnt have to yell and make the person deaf from hearing me yell.

"I come from the planet Arc-Royal. I am a former member of Clan Wolf-in-Exile under House Kerensky. I failed my Trial of Positio
"I don't know that we could afford to keep you."

I nodded my head. "That is quite alright. I just need some place to work. Food and shelter will be sufficient for now."

The man nodded in return.
The "interview" if you wanted to call it that with Marcus was short. I liked that, being a Clanner, yet there was something about it that bothered me. Then it hit me. The Legionnaires are not used to working with a Clansmen. Captain Maxwell was the only one that seemed to be comfortable around me. I nodded to Schuster as he walked in.

I watched as the scene unfolded before me. Sergeant Hobson shared his concern with me, and I too felt some concern for someone who had never lifted a gun in his life joining us.

I could see in his eyes the first day that he really wanted to pilot a 'Mech, but I knew that with the time frame we were in and with the danger of the mission there would be no way to teach him that.

It was finally time for us to embark on our mission. I quickly went to my room and grabbed Lance. Fortunately he had already prepared his gear and his rifle. As much as I cared for his safety I had told him he needed to keep his clothes to a degre
There was one "death" my character had that I thought was sweet. I think Ben did the post for me (it was a time I had to take a temporary break). I was piloting a Fafnir and it was the WoB Jihad. Basically in the post I held them off so everyone could escape. I cant find the post or which Op it was in but I thought that was a cool sort of "death". My character was later revived when I came back in a WoB concentration camp.
