Haha, I am not a subtle person. But JA 2 isn't as over the top as F2, so I doubt this would end up being offensive. Unless I take certain liberties with the writing.

Plus, you know... Jagged Alliance doesn't let me pimp out Johnnie Walker for pocket change.

OR DOES IT?! 

No. But it does let you abuse a ****house and get freebies.

Also you can force-marry any female member of your team to a shotgun-totting redneck family.

Hmm, agreed. It's the only way to create a full team (you can only create 1 character otherwise and hire mercs to fill in the rest of the team). Aside from that though, I've only played a few hours of JA 2 prior to this myself, so I'm playing almost blind and can't say exactly what else gets changed. Pretty sure LS knows the difference between 1.13 and vanilla though.

Chapter Index, Introduction and BSN Party Member Profiles.

Chapter 1:

The team is graciously taken to the Off-Topic zone via helicopter, a few make small talk and Billy in particular grumbles about the flight, but they soon focus their attention on the task at hand. They were not there for trivial reasons.

The supposedly deceased former King of the BSN, Stanley Woo had emailed Fast Jimmy, enlisting the help of he and his comrades to bring down the tyrannical rule of Queen Jessica Merizan. Their first instructions from the former King was to find former rival and rebel leader, Allan Schumacher, here in the Off-Topic zone.

The moment they land, KloieKat notices something is wrong.



The well drilled team spring into action, and begin their sweep of the Off-Topic zone. They move from location to location, making sure not to be exposed to enemy hostiles.



The Off-Topic zone is in ruins, all that remained of the place broken down and decrepit threads. It was almost abandoned wholesale. Truly, the reign of the evil Queen Merizan was having it's effects on the BSN.



The team clears out several threads without incident until Billy spots the first hostile since arriving at the Off-Topic zone. A new recruit in the service of the Queen Merizan.

Thankfully, our ranger was not spotted by the scrub, and signals the team over, who are able to get themselves into position. They look at Billy eagerly, expecting him to show off his skills and kill the recruit with one hit.



He fires, regardless. Missing badly, he shakes his head and tries to ignore the looks of derision from the other party members. Kloie in particular seems satisfied with Billy's obvious failure.

The recruit turns around with weapon drawn, looking in the direction of the party. He knows he was targetted, but unfortunately not skilled enough to see and attack them.

Without hesitation, Jimmy takes the initiative. He lines up the recruit in his sights and fires.



It's a direct hit.



The recruit crawls back up to his feet and attempts to limp away, terrified of his predicament.

Jimmy and Celrath however, step in and put the recruit down. For good.



Spotting another enemy hostile in the distance, the team advances, using the trees and fence as cover from enemy fire. Most of them, anyway.

Vette and Kloie, ignorant to the battle raging on, use this precious time to raid the kitchen.



: NOM NOM PB&J!

: xD

They eventually return to the battle, full and satisfied. Jimmy uses this to his advantage, with Billy and himself fanning out to cover the flanks, while Cel and Kallia keep the remaining enemies occupied with cover fire. With Kloie and Vette coming back to bolster the ranks, Jimmy orders a final push and envelopment of the enemy.

It works and it isn't long until the surviving hostiles are surrounded by the party.



Kloie takes a deep breath, she sets the final target in her sights and pulls the trigger. A gunshot rings out in the air, then, silence.

After the moment passes, Kallia expresses her relief and joy.



The party isn't really able to celebrate the moment, as Jimmy once again demonstrates his leadership and gets the party to focus on the task at hand.

: Hmm... fight's over, but we're not done yet. We need to find Allan Schumacher.

: On the other side of Off-Topic, Jimmy. There's really nothing here, except a kid or maybe an old woman. We'll find what we need on the other side of Off-Topic.

Heeding Celrath's advice, Jimmy leads the way once again. He's determined to find the rebel leader, Allan Schumacher and bring peace back to the BSN, which has fallen into decline since Queen Merizan's rule. He only hopes that he is able to find Schumacher before it's too late.



They step out into another section of the Off-Topic zone. Immediately, Billy spots something suspicious. A building with a man guarding it. The building itself looks in relatively good condition considering the circumstances, and is surrounded with sandbag fortifications.

: Yeah, this is it, guys. I'm pretty sure this is the rebel ba- whoa, is that guy asleep?!



: We might as well head in.

: Let's hope they won't mind us intruding.

The party debates the matter for a while, but Jimmy is decisive in his course of action.

: Look, we have a letter here from Stanley Woo. We'll be fine, we'll just walk in and ask to see Allan.

No one could really argue with Jimmy's line of reasoning, so the party sidesteps the sleepy guard and head into the building.

The ground floor was empty, but a set of stairs leads down into a basement area. The party members look around, and at each other before deciding that they may as well go downstairs.

: Heeelllooooo, is anyone down here?



: Aww sh*t.

Just saw this... it's awesome Crusty! Made me smile the first time in days...

I missed?! Awww damn it! I'm going to have to make it up to the team :/

[Fast Jimmy]

This is GREAT.

Is Allan's name secretly Carlos? This would be a great addition to the 'Bioware Devs in Disguise!!!' thread! XD

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I'm a little sad I did not get to partake in the PBJ session... but such sacrifices are necessary when fighting the evil tyranny of Merizan!

Chapter Index, Introduction and BSN Party Member Profiles.

Recap:

The group of Fast Jimmy, Johnnie Walker, Celrath, Kallianira, KloieKat and Billy the Squid accept a mission from supposedly dead former King Stanley Woo. Their mission is to save the BSN from the evil clutches of his former lover, BioWare Queen Jessica Merizan. He instructs the team to seek out the leader of the rebels, former politician and popular figure, Allan Schumacher.

They land in the Off-Topic zone, and after defeating a few hostiles, they find the rebel base. But after being caught sneaking into the base, the rebels might not be the most hospitable group.

Chapter 2:

: Aww, sh*t.

: I knew this was a bad idea...

: No, look, it's fine. We're here to meet Allan Schumacher on behalf of Stanley Woo. We even have a letter. They won't harm us.

: A letter? Hand it ov-

: You idiot, they're not interested in that. We're dead.

: Hey, stop talking and hand me the letter.

: But if they were planning to kill us, we'd already be dead by now.

: What if they plan to torture us for information, first, hmm?

: Stop talking and hand me the letter. Now.

: But it's not like we know anything of use to them.

: Yeah, but they don't know that.

: SHUT THE HELL UP AND HAND ME THE GODDAMN LETTER!!!

: ...The fvck is up with the yelling?

: Rude...

: Look, Carlos. That's your name, right? I know your leader and we're here as a group to aid him. Let us go, I know he doesn't intend to have us killed. Or does he?

As Jimmy tries to reason with Carlos, a man steps out of the shadows and offers him a response.



Jimmy hands Allan the letter and reads it to himself. Several times over. The party almost fall asleep waiting for Allan to release or execute them.

: Hmm... It be true. Woo has sent men to help us... On behalf of my rebel force and the people of the BSN, I welcome you. We are very much in need of your aid. Merizan wishes to remove Off-Topic from the Site Map of this Forum.

: It's our pleasure to help.

: I have lost over 30 men in the last month. My force is down to the people you see here. But, I do have a few trusted people lurking in the BSN subforums. The people of BioWare Social would overthrow Merizan with pleasure, but they live in fear of her... and rightfully so. She be heartless and brutal. She has robbed our forum of its money and its soul.



: We are short of sustenance too, Allan. We need safe passage to the Dragon Age: Origins forums, or more people will die.

: Yes... Carlos be my close advisor. He is right. He usually be right. Making a safe route to the DA:O forums to get supplies be a priority. There be a drunk clergyman with poor judgement in the DA:O forums, however he will be sympathetic to our situation. Find him and tell him no more than you need to. I will send others to get the supplies he will gather. As for your group, I can send Ira to go with you. It's all I can spare.



: Is Ira a man or a woman...?

...

Meanwhile...

Smack!

So what are you killing/defending?

This game encourages me to play Fallout: Tactics ... I wish there was a sequel to it (Texas brotherhood or else)

[Fast Jimmy]

Curse you, Crusty. I was about to go to sleep until I saw you posted this!

Now I've got to go and read it, to see if I've lived through the day!

EDIT:


LOL Does Allan be a pirate? If so... then awesome!

Also, did Jessica just slap Elliot like a b!tch?



Ouch... Elliot...

Should I ever catch myself using any weapon aside from a Colt rifle, or a G36 variant, I'll be disappoint.  H&K firearms are acceptable.

Exceptions: Emergencies or consultation with me specifically. This is not a discussion!

Carry on.

Chapter Index, Introduction and BSN Party Member Profiles.

Recap:

The group of Fast Jimmy, Johnnie Walker, Celrath, Kallianira, KloieKat and Billy the Squid meet up with BioWare Social Network rebel leader, Allan Schumacher. On the behalf of Stanley Woo, the party have come to aid the rebel against the tyrannical reign of Queen Jessica Merizan.

After pledging themselves to the cause, the party has been assigned it's first mission. They are to make their way to the Dragon Age: Origins subforums and meet up with a clergyman who Allan is very familiar with and can gather supplies for the rebel cause.

The party must take care however, as word of their exploits have reached Queen Merizan's ears and the party is not guaranteed safe passage to the Dragon Age: Origins forums at all.

Chapter 3:

: Already? We've barely just left the Off-Topic Zone...

: Yup, Merizan has this place on a tight leash. Don't expect it to get any easier, either.

: How do you think we should approach them?

: Hmm, we keep away from the main road. We find adequate cover and hunker down. Billy, you go out and scout out their positions. Then, you lure them over to us with controlled fire. We should be able to pick them off if you play it right.

: Ha! There's no need for that. I'll kill them all myself, I'm awesome-sauce.

: Do what you want, but remember that we can't cover for you.

: I call dibs on his stuff if he dies.

: Aww...

: Can we just do this already?

Jimmy looks at everyone, who nod at him. He nods back and without another word, the team springs into action.

They keep their voices and heads down, sneaking across the terrain until Jimmy signals at a formation of shrubs, rocks and thick trees. The team immediately follows his lead and begin to setup.



As Jimmy, Kallia, Vette, Cel and Kloie get into position, Billy takes off. He moves quickly, but as quietly as possible. He makes an effort to hide behind the cover of trees or rock formations, even crouching or lying prone so as not to be seen or heard by enemy hostiles as he scouts the landscape for the team.

It isn't long until he spots an enemy, but Kloie's trained eye and quality sniping scope denies him the small victory of informing the party first.



Kloie fires a shot at the enemy Pvt., but misses by a fair margin. Kallia also tries her luck, but she is no more successful than the trained sniper.

Their potshots draw the attention of two more enemies, who attempt to close in on the team. This inadvertently compromises Billy's position, as one of the enemies does not fall for his attempt at camouflage.

Without hesitation, the ranger dashes towards a rock formation that could provide him cover.



In an impressive display, he runs and slams hard into the rock, gets up, lifts his weapon and fires in the one movement.



Killing one of the men instantly and putting the fear of God Billy in the others.

The commotion attracts the attention of yet another soldier, who attempts to attack the team's position from another angle.

Kloie spots him however, and doesn't miss this time around.



Meanwhile, Celrath manages to kill off one of the frightened soldiers while simultaneously jamming one of his weapons.





Sensing the outcome of the engagement was all but assured, Vette decides to speed up the process a little and do what she does best.



The large explosion, combined with the raining blood and body parts is enough to send the rest of the enemy troops scrambling. They flee the battlefield and the team is content to let them go. Jimmy feels confident that the team can push onward without further incident.



The team scrounge what loot they can from the fallen foes while Kallia bandages Billy's wounds and they prepare to head on out to the Dragon Age: Origins subforums.

Short chapter this time, but the next chapter should be much meatier.
