Nicely done, CB!

This is a great set up for reboot you've got going. I'm blown away with the spleen you've gotten this together. Keep it coming!

Made some changes to the OP, hopefully easier on the eyes.

Recap:

On the behalf of Stanley Woo, The group of Fast Jimmy, Johnnie Walker, Celrath, KloieKat, Billy the Squid and ThePinkFoxx aid the rebels against the tyrannical reign of Queen Jessica Merizan to try and save their beloved BioWare Social Network.

The team take out Merizan's loyal forces in the Dragon Age: Origins subforums and establish a base of operations there.

After enlisting the services of MASSEFFECTfanforlife101, Randumb Vanguard, Volus Warlord, Dave of Canada, RedArmyShogun, and The Minority, the team heads back to the Inquisition forums to recapture it in a daring night raid.

Chapter 17:


The two teams roll out. While Billy usually takes point, his pondering over the mysterious message keeps him distracted and Luis, eager to prove himself to the group, takes point.

Not for long, though.

Image IPB

The sound of gunshots ring out and within moments, Luis collapses in front of the team. Several loyalists emerge from the local police station, weapons drawn and ready to fight. Clearly the team's efforts at stealth had been unsuccessful.

Mino dashes towards Luis and attempts to administer first aid and prevent Luis from bleeding out. Several others fire at the exposed loyalists to give Mino some cover. It works, one of them goes down and the other hides inside the police station.

Image IPB

More loyalists, upon hiring the gunfire, rush to the location. Vette however, would have none of that, and she had the heavy weaponry to make that intention crystal clear.

Image IPB

Image IPB: You're dead, pea brains.

The team hunkers down temporarily as Mino treats Luis. It isn't ideal, but it means that Luis and Mino aren't out in the open by themselves.

Image IPB

The team comes under enemy fire.

Image IPB

But it isn't long until the loyalists are stopped dead in their tracks. The sheer combined firepower from the two teams overpowers Merizan's goons and they quickly flee to cover. Concentrated suppressive fire from Billy and Dave makes them reluctant to move beyond that point and they are easily picked off by the others who move in for the kill.

Image IPB

Victorious, the team head to the centre of the sector and figure out their next move.

Image IPB

Image IPB: Oww, stop moving so quickly. I'm still hurt really bad.

Image IPB: Get over it son, we have a lot of loyalists to kill before Inquisition is ours.

Image IPB: Yeah! So many people to exterminate, so little time!

Image IPB: Cmon guys, don't be so mean to me. D':

Image IPB: :I

Image IPB: Hey don't worry about it. I'll stay behind and patch him up. You guys go on ahead.

Image IPB: But you are one of the medics, your team will need you...

Jimmy puts a stop to the debate.

Image IPB: Alright, if it hurts that much, we'll rest for the night and proceed tomorrow morning. We dont need to move yet anyway. No survivors means no intel got out. I hope. Mino, you help Foxx patch Luis up. Celrath, Randy, make sure all our equipment is working fine. Also, I need you two to stay up as night watchmen. See what you can do about hacking the systems here to track enemy movements.

Image IPB: I like this plan. Thank you. I'm going to sleep. Wake me up when my wounds are healed up.

Image IPBImage IPBImage IPB: >:o

-------------------------------------------------

The next day, with the B-Team...

-------------------------------------------------

With Luis ready to go and with everybody well rested, morale is up. All is forgiven. The B-Team is eager to complete it's mission and flush this sector clean of Merizan's loyalists.

Image IPB

Image IPB: Alright, follow my lead and we'll be rid of these losers real quick.

The team dashes through the courtyard and hops over the chest high wall. Having avoided the loyalist patrols thus far, they make their way inside the large run-down structure undetected.

Image IPB

As they navigate the corridors and hallways inside, they quickly realise that the building is the remnants of a school, or university. A place of learning. Books lie tattered, chairs and tables broken. The walls were damaged and completely broken through in certain parts. It was in awful shape.

Image IPB

Image IPB: Welcome to Merizan's BSN.

Image IPB: Come on, let's keep moving. This is starting to depress me.

Dave leads the team through the cafeteria and towards a long and narrow corridor.

Image IPB

He nears a noise and moves to ready his weapon. However, he's not quick enough as a loyalist bursts through the door and fires a three shots at Dave.

Luckily, most of the bullets miss and the French Canadian survives. One bullet does pierce his body armor and catches him in the shoulder, but it is a shallow hit.

Image IPB

Dave turns around and fires a volley at the loyalist, blowing his head off. Literally.

Image IPB

As the lifeless corpse of the loyalist hits the ground with a 'thud', the team hears whistles being blown and the sound of jackboots on the dirt path. They had been found out. Soon loyalists would converge on the team and find them hemmed into a nice little corridor.

Image IPB: What do we do now, I don't want to die!

Image IPB: Hey, there's a door behind me! You guys exit through the back while I hold them off.

Image IPB: Dave... we can't just leave you alone here to die...

Image IPB: Like hell you're going to leave me behind, idiot! Once you get out the back, you can flank and surprise them!

Image IPB: Oh. Right.

Image IPB: Lulz.

Dave bravely holds the line while the others make their escape through the back door. They sneak out quietly. If they are found out before they can ambush the loyalists, Dave would be in serious trouble.

Image IPB

Dave is pelted by enemy fire. He lays down on the ground and goes prone, hoping to minimising what the loyalists are able to hit. Even though he avoids getting critically hit, he is still grazed numerous times by the bullets flying past him.

Image IPB

Image IPB

He is able to hold his own though. As he sees the atrocious marksmanship of Merizan's loyalists, he becomes more confident in his ability, not just to stall, but to win.

Image IPB

He begins to change his firing patterns, he uses up more bullets and uses them more aggressively. Even as he feels the sting of a bullet grazing his arm, his intention is no longer to suppress, intimidate and survive, but to kill.

Image IPB

Miraculously, Dave's gamble works out better than expected. Thinking they had themselves a cornered and wounded animal, the few loyalists remaining commit to killing Dave. Giving the other team members the opening they were looking for.

Red, a Samurai re-enactment enthusiast, whips out his katana and crawls towards the enemy's position while everyone else keeps a look out.

Image IPB

He waits for the right time to strike...

Image IPB: NOW! KILL EM NOW NOW!

In one impressive movement, Red hops to his feet, jumps the wall and slices the head of a loyalist clean off it's shoulders.

Image IPB

The gruesome decapitation causes the remaining loyalists to lose their resolve and flee.

Image IPB

Red seems satisfied with himself and isn't inclined to go after the fleeing loyalists.

Image IPB

The others do give it some consideration, but poor Dave who was left on his lonesome, needed medical treatment and his condition took precedence.

Image IPB

Image IPB: So I guess that's that. Mino, see what you can do to fix up Dave. I'm going to contact Jimmy, see if they're okay.

-------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, with the A-Team...

-------------------------------------------------

Image IPB

Image IPB: Hello? Volus? Yeah, we just cleaned up here, you finished over there? Great! There is a hospital that treats loyalists and overly obsessed fanboys/girls west of your position. I intend to put a stop to that. Maybe have them treat us instead. We'll be heading north to that place, so meet us outside the hospital's south east entrance.

Image IPB: So is everything okay with them? We'll continue on as planned?

Image IPB: Yes.

Image IPB: Oh dis gon b gud.

It's back! Eager to see who the next follow up characters will be.

@Legat B-Team seems more badass because its filled with badasses. A-Team doesn't need to act badass however to show they are. Because they're the mother****ing A-Team! :D

Chapter Index, Introduction and BSN Party Member Profiles.

Made some changes to the OP, hopefully easier on the eyes. Also, one of these days I need to really sit down and proofread what I write.

Recap:

On the behalf of Stanley Woo, The group of Fast Jimmy, Johnnie Walker, Celrath, KloieKat, Billy the Squid and ThePinkFoxx aid the rebels against the tyrannical reign of Queen Jessica Merizan to try and save their beloved BioWare Social Network.

The team take out Merizan's loyal forces in the Dragon Age: Origins subforums and establish a base of operations there.

After enlisting the services of MASSEFFECTfanforlife101, Randumb Vanguard, Volus Warlord, Dave of Canada, RedArmyShogun, and The Minority, the team successful strike at several sections of the Inquisition forums, with only the mining facility and the hospital remaining...

Chapter 18:


Image IPB

Image IPB: Alright, let's roll out. We go inside and clear the place room by room.

Image IPB: Is that wise? This is a night op. A raid might be dangerous for any civilians in the area...

Image IPB: A raid is a better option than a siege since we know Merizan's loyalists have no issue with killing innocents or using them as hostages.

Celrath nods and the team moves swiftly towards the hospital.

Image IPB

They find a solitary guard patrolling the entrance, and take him out without incident.

Image IPB

Celrath quietly opens up the double doors and takes point as the team creeps into the building. They encounter a terrified civilian, but luckily, she did not panic or scream, which would've alerted the loyalists to their presence.

Image IPB

They move slowly, making sure to check every single room for loyalists. They could be anywhere.

Image IPB

Jimmy orders Kloie and Luis take point and they whisper back everything they see to the rest of the team.

They find a dead body lying on the ground, weapon in hand. It was a civilian who tried to fight back.

Image IPB: No naughty men here. Only dead good man.

Image IPB: Everything is clear so far. But I don't like taking point in a close combat situation, Jimmy. I'm a sniper, after a-

Her misgivings about taking point (even only temporarily) is proven to be sound.

A loyalist pops out from cover and fires at Kloie point blank with a pistol. She is hit in the head.

Image IPB

Kloie goes down without a word as blood flows openly from the side of her head.

Billy's quick reflexes enable him to blast the shooter away before he could hide behind cover and fire again, but the sound of his shotgun rings loudly in the tight corridor. There was no way the loyalists would miss hearing that.

Image IPB

With the loyalist down, Mino and Foxx frantically dash towards Kloie and begin treatment on the mortally wounded sniper.

Image IPB

With Kloie so close to death, they didn't have time to waste and Foxx opts to perform surgery in the middle of the firefight.

The team holds and guards their position as Mino and Foxx do their work.

Image IPB

The team holds their tongue as they see the gruesome scene of Kloie's head being cut open in an attempt to remove the bullet.

Image IPB: No! She's starting to bleed out! We're losing her here!

Image IPB: Shut up! I've got the bullet now, quick, close up the wound. And hand me those syringes.

Foxx calmly injects several regeneration boosters into Kloie's veins. The drugs would quicken her recovery and keep Kloie from dying but Foxx had to take care not to overdose her patient.

Several minutes pass and unwilling to let the loyalists regroup, Jimmy then sends out Billy and Red to clear them out.

Apparently, there weren't many loyalists assigned to guard the hospital. That played right into the team's hands, with Billy and Red catching a group of them by surprise by the back door of the hospital.

Image IPB

Image IPB: I think that's it, they're all dead! Guess they weren't expecting to fight in a hospital, hah!

-------------------------------------------------

As he hears the gunfire begin to die down, as well as Red's triumphant shout, Jimmy realises the battle is won and patiently waits for Foxx and Mino to finish their work on Kloie. Just as they begin to put away their surgical equipment, he takes the opportunity to badger them about Kloie's condition.

Image IPB: Doc, fake Doc. Is Kloie going to make it?

Mino turns away from the patient and faces Jimmy, scalpel still in hand.

Image IPB: Yeah! Yeah! She's gonna be fine. She's under sedation now, but those experimental dr-

Image IPB: *cough*

Image IPB: The uhh... legally approved medications Foxxy used really did the trick! I can't tell you how amazed I am by Foxxy's umm... completely legit injections!

Image IPB: So, Kloie will be fine then?

Image IPB: Oh yeah! Kloie's gonna be fine! Image IPB: Be careful with that scalpel, Mino. You might hurt Kloie by accident.

Image IPB: Nono, wait! She'll be more than fine!! Her sedation will wear off pretty quickly, so she'll probably be ready to fight again in a couple of ho-

Sphhhlt.

Several team members let out an audible gasp, though it was only Foxx who was able to speak.

Image IPB: Oh no. You did not just do that. You. Skank.

Image IPB: ....aaaasssss I was saying Jimmy, I think Kloie will be fine to fight later tomorrow after a good night's rest and some extra bandaging.

Image IPB: *cough*

Image IPB: Even for a fake doctor, that's a bit much, en.

-------------------------------------------------

Later that night...

-------------------------------------------------

Image IPB: Is Kloie still asleep?

Image IPB: Yeah, I just checked a few minutes ago. Still in bed.

Image IPB: Hmm. Hopefully we can dial down her sedatives and wake her up tomorrow... I hope she doesn't suffer any side effects from the drugs. It wasn't the ideal situation for them to be tested used in. I still can't believe you stabbed her.

Image IPB: Cut me some slack. Sometimes my patients get stabbed by accident, it's no big deal.

-------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile...

-------------------------------------------------

Image IPB: Hmmrrrrmmm...

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB: Aahhhhrrrr...

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB

-------------------------------------------------

The next morning...

-------------------------------------------------

After a subdued breakfast, the team goes to check on Kloie. As Foxx and Mino begin to dial down Kloie's sedatives, the rest of the team sit down and wait patiently, hoping that Kloie would be okay. Luckily for them, the sedatives wear off quickly and they don't have to wait long to see the sniper finally awaken from her deep sleep.

Image IPB: Hhgnnrrr...ah!

Image IPBImage IPB: Kloie! Are you okay?

Image IPB: Huhhhh... ugghhh... I'm... I'm okay guys. My body's aching everywhere, and I had this really weird dream. But I'm okay. I think. What happened? I don't remember how I got here.

Image IPB: You don't remember, Kloie? You were blasted in the head as we were raiding the hospital!

Image IPB: It's common to suffer some temporary amnesia after such a traumatic experience. Could also be a side effect of the medications I used to save your life. Don't worry about it, Kloie. And calm down, Mino. Kloie, can you tell me about the dream you had?

Image IPB: Sorry Foxxy, I don't really remember much about it. Just that there was a lot of dead people.

Image IPB: What kind of a dream is that??

Image IPB: It's a dream true warriors have.

Image IPB: I have that dream sometimes. Except instead of people, there's dead bronies and cloppers everywhere.

Image IPB: Hate to point out the obvious, but aren't cloppers and bronies (deranged) people, too?

Image IPBImage IPBImage IPBImage IPB: No.

Image IPB: =o how could you all say that?!

Image IPB: What's a clopper?

Image IPB: Ahem. We can talk about this later. We still have a mine to capture. Kloie, are you okay to fight?

Image IPB: I-I guess.

Image IPB: Kloie will be fine as long as she can snipe from a distance.

Image IPB: Yeah. I think she'll be fine as long as she doesn't get dragged into close quarter firefights. She's recovered quite well, all things considered.

Image IPB: Alright, then! I want to press our advantage and clear this entire forum out, once and for all. Everybody get ready, we'll be leaving in a couple of hours.

-------------------------------------------------

A few hours later...

-------------------------------------------------

The team charge towards the mine sector, expecting fierce resistance and a tough battle ahead.

To their surprise, it doesn't come. The sector is seemingly devoid of hostiles and is eerily quiet.

The team reluctantly comes out into the open to investigate. Perhaps the loyalists had fled. Perhaps they were planning an ambush. Perhaps they were...

Image IPB

Image IPB: Dead. The lot of 'em.

Image IPB: Oh? Oh! Huh...

Image IPB: What is it, Kloie? Are you still hurt?

Image IPB: No, I'm okay Celrath. Thanks for asking. It's nothing I guess. Just a bit of Deja Vu for some reason. Forget I said anything.

Mino and Foxxy slowly exchange glances. They whisper to each other in hushed tones.

Image IPB: Y-you don't think...

Image IPB: No, n-no. Of course not. It's impossible. It's a coincidence, that's all. A coincidence. A little coinkidink.

Just as other conversations begin to break out amongst the confused group, Jimmy clears his throat, redirecting everyone's attention onto him.

Image IPB: Come on, guys! This is good news! Surely this is proof that Merizan's days of lording over the BSN are numbered! The people are starting to rise up and defy her. Not to mention that with this, the Inquisition forum is finally free. So let's head back to town and plan our next move, team!

While a few of the team members felt that Jimmy's enthusiasm and optimism was misplaced, they certainly did not want to stay out in the rain, looking at dead loyalists all day. Going back to town to plan was a good a course of action as any. So as he began to walk away from the scene, the others soon followed suit.

The team take a small break to re-energize themselves, and to plan their next move.

Chapter 19:


At least, that was the idea.

Image IPB: What do you mean our vehicles have been stolen?!

Image IPB: You did not ask me to lock it. Is not my fault. Is your fault for giving me keys.

Image IPB: BUT IT WAS YOUR TRUCK!

Image IPB: Jimmy, calm down. You're making a scene.

Image IPB

Image IPB: Aside from us, there's like two people here. Who cares if I'm making a s-huwh!

Image IPB

Image IPB: Oh. Your. God.

Image IPB: M-Mr. Chris Avellone!! OHMIGODOHMIGOD! What are you doing here in the Inquisition forums?! Shouldn't you be working on Project Eternity or Torment: Numenera?

Image IPB: Shh. Keep quiet. I'm lurking. I've got a job to do.

Image IPB: Sorry! I won't bother you again! Except I just want to let you know I'm your biggest fan! I know I said I'd keep quiet, but I can't help myself! I just love your games and your writing and your approach to game design! You are like an RPG God and your Let's Play of Arcanum is so hilarious!

Image IPB: Yeah. Right.

Image IPB: Who's this Avellone guy and why is Jimmy slobbering all over him?

Image IPB: He's a writer at Obsidian. Planescape: Torment, Alpha Protocol, New Vegas, he worked on all those games. Some really good games. I loved KotOR 2.

Image IPB: Better than the first KotOR.

Image IPB: If only it came with the Restoration Pack from the start. I hate all the bugs it had though.

Image IPB: Is that like Mass Effect 2?

Image IPB: Oh it's so much better than that unfocused, poorly written tripe. Even the waifus are better written and less childish. They're not created solely to titilate the player with gigantic ass shots.

Image IPB: WHAT DID YOU SAY?! ARE YOU INSULTING MIRI?!

Image IPB: Can you people keep it down?

Image IPB: Ahh, yes. Sorry sir. Won't happen again sir. It's not in our nature to be so rude and that won't change any time soon. Heh, gettit? Nature, change? Hiihiiihii...

Image IPB: ... Uhh... The fvck's up with Jimmy?!

Image IPB: We should shoot him before he starts to gigglesquee.

Image IPB: It might be too late for that.

Image IPB: Okay, okay, okay! Enough! Let's get going guys. I don't want us to disturb the Great Man any further.

Image IPB: But you're doing most of the disturbing...

Jimmy bows his head to Chris Avellone, profusely offering his sincerest apologies to the Obsidian writer for interrupting his lurking. He then moves to leave the cafe and notions for the team to leave as well.

They follow, some team members giving Avellone a small word of thanks for his work as they pass him by. Others walk without saying a word, utterly confused by the entire affair.

-------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile...

-------------------------------------------------

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB

-------------------------------------------------

Back with the team...

-------------------------------------------------

Jimmy pulls out a site map of the BSN, and with new information coming in from converts on the Inquisition forum, quickly determines that Merizan holds a military base to the South. He decides that they will strike there next.

But before he calls the team together to brief them, he has an interesting discussion with one of the locals.

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB

Image IPB: Hmm. One team to take out the military installation, one team to take out the hicks...

It isn't long until the team is informed of Jimmy's new plan.

Image IPB: Meh. Whatever you say.

The others simply nod.

They don't show a lot of enthusiasm, perhaps the others just didn't share Jimmy's passion for strategy and details. But they trusted Jimmy's judgement. Something which the dear leader considered more important.

-------------------------------------------------

A few hours later...

-------------------------------------------------

Image IPB

The B-Team dash towards the perimeter of the military base, forget complex tactics and strategy. The plan is simple: breach the facility without detection and kill all loyalists before they are able to mount a proper defense.

Image IPB

Dave steps to the front and begins to cut at the fence with his wire cutters. He is able to snip open a large opening for the team, but is spotted before they are able to infiltrate the base.

A loyalist hurries to engage the team, firing off a few shots in the process. He gets lucky, as one bullet catches Dave in the leg. Dave's leg buckles and the Canadian falls to the ground. Clutching his bleeding leg, he attempts to apply pressure as he yells at The Minority for help in an incomprehensible language.

Image IPB: Merde! Médecin!

The fake doc quickly reaches Dave and attempts to bandage the leg, preventing further blood loss. Luckily, the wound isn't too serious and Doc Mino is successfully able to apply a makeshift bandage. Although Dave's mobility would be impacted, he could still fight on for the moment.

Volus Warlord quickly drops the offending loyalist, and the team take a second to reassess the situation.

Image IPB

Image IPB: Well, Plan A ain't gonna work. There's going to be a lot of them coming now. Do we have a Plan B?

Image IPB: Yeah, it's called "pull the trigger and don't let go until all the cloppers are dead."

Image IPB: Lulz I like it. But are the loyalists all cloppers now?

They charge through the opening in the fence, forgoing any half-baked attempts at stealth or subtlety.

The loyalist body count starts to rise as several of them are taken out, Volus running and gunning while the others provide him with cover fire.

Image IPB

A genuine firefight ensues, as the loyalists finally organise themselves and send out small squads to engage the team. Unfortunately for Merizan's cronies, our mercenaries had positioned themselves behind natural cover and are able to pop them like moles as they try to launch their counter attack.

Image IPB

Several members of the team obtain a few nicks and cuts as a result of the shootout, but nothing serious.

Image IPB: Ha! Good fight! We win.

Randy on the other hand, shakes his head at Luis and points towards the nearby command outpost building. He had heard sounds coming from inside, there had to be one or two loyalists still remaining.

Luis takes point and leads them around a fenced off section and towards the outpost.

Image IPB

Before Luis leads them inside however, Volus waves for Luis to back off and the MASSEFFECTfan complies. Volus sticks his head inside the building and is about to signal the all-clear for everyone else to move in, but before he does so, he is greeted by one of Merizan's rabid loyalists.

Image IPB

The goon has the drop on Volus, who is unable to react and is shot in the chest.

Image IPB

Image IPB

Doc Mino panics, he rushes to Volus and struggles to take out his 1st Aid Kit without fumbling and dropping it. With the team leader down, they are unsure of how to respond. Dave looks at Randy, Randy looks at Red, while Luis stares blankly into the sky.

Red meanwhile, calmly removes the strapping of the large cylindrical bag he had been carrying, places it on the ground and unzips it's contents.

The others turn their attention to Red, and as he reveals what he had been carrying, they follow their instincts and dive in the opposite direction.

Image IPB

Image IPB

The loyalist, not to mention the wall, didn't stand a chance.

Image IPB

With the area now secure, Doc Mino is able to focus on bringing Volus and Dave back to full health (or as close as possible) over the next few days - Merizan wouldn't be able to retaliate that quickly. And if there were as many hicks as Jimmy had been led to believe, the other team would have their hands full for a while yet.

Mino attempts to contact the A-Team to see what kind of time period he has to work with.

Image IPB: Hey Jimmy, anyone? You there? We're just finishing up here. How long until you guys are done with your mission?

The response isn't from Jimmy, but messes with Mino's plans all the same.

Image IPB: You guys are finished already?! Arghhh. Well, I guess I can at least inject the wounded with some of Foxxy's super drugs once I remove any bullets and stitch up the wounds. It should work pretty quickly.

Image IPB: Do you really think that will work, Fake Doc? My leg isn't in great shape.

Image IPB: Don't worry, Dave! By the morning, you'll be as good as new. Or dead. The important thing is, we'll know.

Image IPB: ........

Image IPB: I-Is it too late to change my preferred physician on my health insurance policy...?

Image IPB: Is that like Mass Effect 2?

When I read this, I laughed so hard coffee sprayed out of my nose.

Good stuff Crusty! The scenes wih Merizan always have me cracking up.

Although, for the record, while I do have respect for Chris Avellone as a designer, I'm not what I think anyone would call a fanboy. I actually haven't even pledged for either PE or the new Planescape.

Things seem to be going well for the team... almost TOO well... <cue dramatic organ music!>
