"Hi, Oberon. Are all those for me? You shouldn't have. Really. A beer would have sufficed."

"No," replies Oberan. “You get a gun and a melee weapon of your choice according to normal rules. The handles are all rubber, so don’t worry about my electric blood. It’s traditional hazing for a newly elected sergeant to duel his First Hand as a bonding experience and to prove his worth in combat. I figured we’d get it out of the way sooner rather than later. It’s an opportunity to vent the bad blood we have for each other right now.

“The weapons are real, the death’ll be real, and we’re both pussies if we don’t try our hardest. There’ll be cover we’ll simulate with this room. You’ll have a chance to place it later. You may want to turn off your pain reception, John. Now choose your weapons and let’s get this over with,” he says, gesturing to the table.

John’s heart is starting to pound. He takes a look at the various weapons on the table. Okay, he remembers this from the required Weapons Training course he took before joining the Navy.

That big saber is Qal make, from when all they had to worry about was fighting other Qal. It’s a lopping weapon, with good reach, but if someone with a knife gets in close enough, John’d be fucked.

There’s a normal combat dagger, standard kit for most marines. It’s a reliable, nasty thing, and is balanced enough to be manipulated quickly or thrown.

The katar there is of Delter make. Nothing truly complex about it. It’s like the combat dagger but with a whole lotta extra punch behind it. The abnormal design means it’s not as versatile, though.


As for the ranged weaponry, the one furthest to the left there is a standard slug thrower. It packs quite a bit of a punch behind it, and can have hollow-tipped bullets to make gaping holes in people or armor-piercing ones for extra penetration. It needs reloading after fifteen shots, though. There’s 2 other clips, probably more than enough for one opponent.

The middle one, John thinks is an antimatter pistol. The thing is amazingly destructive, but the low rate of fire means every shot has to count and he’s not suppressing anyone with it.

The one furthest to the right is a laser pistol, similar to the derelict one lying in John’s uplink. Their rate of fire is fairly high, and they don’t need reloading, but they have zero penetration since they work by burning instead of making a hole. They don’t do too much damage either.
Okay, pinkos. You’ve done this sort of thing before… help.

Normal dagger, antimatter rifle. If you get a hit in with that rifle, they're GONE. And its vulnerability - slow rate of fire - can be compensated by having your dagger at the ready.

Good luck.

>>38978
I say a laser pistol and a sword. we can pin him down, walk right up, and lop something off over the cover, doesn't really matter what.

But, that's just based on a vague guess on how your combat systems go- it could be you use the ranged weapon to the exclusion of others, at which point I would suggest the slugthrower and combat knife, because both have a good chance of killing, and you won't be attacking from over cover with your melee weapon if you don't have continuous covering fire.

>>38978

Take the slugger with AP rounds, dosen't matter if one shot is not an instant kill when bleeding and shock will do it for you while you wait out of sight. AP rounds mean we can do it even without line of sight.

Take Katar as backup because up close you actually need to one shot or die and if you're at saber distance means you can still shoot easily.

Good luck, you're going to die in 5 seconds.

…John supposes he’ll take the slug thrower and the combat dagger, since those seem to be the most common themes. The knife feels well-balanced, and the slug-thrower looks shiny and maintained.
Oberan nods approvingly at John’s selection. “Solid.”
He takes for himself the katar and laser pistol.
“Since you had to choose weapons first, I’ll set up my cover first. We’ll divide the room into two. No sticking cover on the other person’s side. You get 3 cover units (six-foot long chest-high walls) for your side you can arrange how you want.”

(It's not a dress-up I know, but at least this way John won't end up with a frilly sunday gown)

A pity you can't use something you're more familiar with, like, say... the antimatter swabber in your linkspace. After all, I'm sure you're familiar with its length, balance, reach, and the business end. Plus, I'm sure it might give the advantage of not being taken seriously.

...or can you use that? He did just say 'of your choice'.

Is the laser pistol in better shape than the one in your linkspace, or are they all that shoddy? If they're all that shoddy, don't get that. Slugthrower might be good if you feel like shooting a lot. Antimatter pistol might be good for outright destroying scenery or cover. Get rid of places for him to hide and such. ...unless your people have ways of defending building materials against antimatter.

Our missile defense is pretty damn near perfect this way. To get at us, he'll have to abandon cover. We can't really advance too efficiently for a melee attack, but it's unlikely we'll need to, because chances are he'll come to us.

Can you separate a piece of yourself after adapting it into a semi-hard adhesive? You could fake being behind a wall by actually leaving the hand that holds the gun behind with it periodically snapping off shots.

Perhaps reshape the wrist of the hand to suction to one of the cover blocks. You can do that, right? It's just resealing the surface skin/whatever and vacuuming it against the wall.

You may lose a hand, but those can be regained. It will distract him, and let you close the distance while he is distracted with the false belief you are hiding behind the cover you graft the hand and gun to.

>>39062
Peek out to the right, bring the gun out with your head. If you see movement fire a single shot immediately; don't take time to aim, distract.

>>39062

Don't lose your sidearm, don't go trading blows. He's got the better close combat weapon and you've got the better gun. Run to the far left shielding making sure he can't run to the right without you getting a shot in. If he gets close to other side of your shield shoot through it and exchange for the next one. Continue in this manner using your guns penetration to your advantage while his can't do anything. If you run out of room he should be weak from blood loss and even you can at least match him.

Yeah, that's blood staining the barrier. John definitely hit him. Upon inspection, it seems Oberan missed him completely. John must have taken him by surprise. Serves him right for gabbing.

>>39099
One possible tactic, for your consideration: he currently has a very limited arc of fire. If you can roll across the gap (1st arrow), then slide up to his barricade (2nd arrow), you'll have both cover and an excellent vantage point to catch him entirely without cover.

Just thought I'd throw that out there as an option.

>>39117
Oops, a little late.

Well, he may have moved, but that tactic might still work if you go now while he's expecting you to sit still and recover from that bit of excitement. Pop around the corner and fill him full of lead.

>>39115

Okay, you're in moderately allright position. He'll probably tie off that wound with his headband but don't make life easy for him. Make sure he can't exchange for the rightmost cover. Despite slowing his bleeding he will have to come for you now so it's a waiting game. Just pay attention, don't expose yourself and use your guns advantage. If he dares to show his mug shoot through his cover.

>>39117

He exchanged covers for the middle one. Plan is false. Wait him to bleed out or commit himself.

>>39122
Hey, if you think he's focusing on that wound, then we should strike while the iron is hot, not wait and hope he bleeds out.

This fight will be won with bravery and determination, mixed with smarts. Not ticks on the clock and prayers.

Okay, this cover setup is biting us in the ass now. You can either get by the one that he's on now, or get behind the far edge of the middle one, see if you can get a shot at him from there. Either way, you're in a bit of trouble.

>>39123

False. Most deaths on battlefield come from bleeding and shock. Exchanging gunfire to your own risk is stupid, be smart and shoot but don't get shot at. We can be heroic if he commits himself to be one and gets close enough without dying. Then it's up to the air who wins. Besides I would like to go on this date too.

>>39124

No trouble. Far left cover, aim right and shoot if he exchanges covers there or pops out. If he makes it without dying immeadetly exchange cover to right most. If he comes for close combat shoot through cover and get knife ready.

>>39127
Yes, except that because of the way the left one is angled, it provides no cover whatsoever.

>>39128

Look again. He's behind his middle cover now. We got perfect cover until he runs for the right one getting shot in process. If he makes it we exchange to the rightmost. Cover again.

John heads for the left cover, but is interrupted by OH GOD
Oberan dives from behind the middle cover to the right, blazing away with his rapid-fire laser pistol and grazing John's leg.

No damage to mobility due to the Burn nature of the wound, but John is forced into the middle cover element.

John can't feel pain at this point, having assigned zero cells to pain monitoring in an effort to make this battle hurt less, but he thinks the wound isn't that bad. It's cautereized, anyway.

>>39124
Oh. John's sorry. Is this his fault? He knew he'd fuck this up somehow.

John's in a position where Oberan can't hit him unless he moves. Unfortunately, John can't take any shots either.

Oberan's voice calls over the barriers. "Nice *ugh* shot, Sarge. Good thing I have this kerchief."

why does he keep doing that it is giving him away
is he going easy on john
or maybe toying with him
fuck

>>39134
Throw your knife to your left, wait for the clatter. He'll probably hop out of cover to shoot, and you can take that moment to hop out on your RIGHT and fire back on him.

Don't throw your knife too far, you want him to think its you. Throw it at a low angle so it clatters along the ground for a while.

>>39134

You have a gun with high penetration, shoot through the goddamn barrier.

>>39134

How the hell did that happen... laser has zero penetration, one in a million shot then I guess. Unlucky, you're going to lose now. Don't get in close combat, leg wound prevents any chance of winning. You have zero cover. Slide knife right, if he falls for it and takes a peek to shoot you should see his arm. Shoot through cover and hope you get him or you're a goner.

>>39139
It happened because our cover situation isn't very good. Shooting around the left (his left) side of the cover he's behind gives him a clear shot right at us.

>>39134
>Oh. John's sorry. Is this his fault? He knew he'd fuck this up somehow.
Don't worry about it. It's too late to do anything about it now, and it's still probably winnable.

Now, to action: Lean around the left of the cover. See if you've got a shot there.If you do, take it. If not shoot blindly, maybe you can pierce through and hit him. If not, no problem. Regardless of how this goes down, take a shot, get back behind cover, repeat. The repetition with delay is important, it makes him think we'll be following the same pattern. We will then be able to use this by circling around to the right and using the knife while he's expecting us to be on the other side.

Diagram immanent.

Okay, sergeant, we require clarification. Did the shot pierce through the middle cover-piece, or through the gap between the middle and left cover pieces? The angle looks wrong for either.

Also, it occurs to me:
>why does he keep doing that it is giving him away
can his race pinpoint sound with the same precision as yours?

(Clarification: When the shots were fired Oberan was moving to behind right cover and John was in the open between middle and left. The angle is as shown in the picture, with
Oberan firing over his cover unit, which as you'll recall is only chest-height, landing a hit on John as he was in the open and forcing him back. It was pretty lucky shot but Oberan is a good marksman and his pistol fires quickly, so it's by no means impossible.)

John supposes throwing something could work. He temporarily has misgivings over losing his combat knife, but maybe the gain will cancel out the loss.

>>39138
John can ideed shoot through the goddamn barrier. But he'd be firing blind, which wastes a lot of ammo, and if Oberan is as good as John thinks, he's been counting how many shots John has fired and listening for a reload. If John wastes too many shots and needs to reload his weapon, he doesn't relish the thought of Oberan leaping out of cover with a katar and rearranging his minimalist face.

John uses his armor-piercing advantage to good effect, blasting five rounds through Oberan's cover. He's rewarded by the sound of the bullets striking the hard steel of the chamber walls, and a grunt from his opponent.

"Grah. You Qal are lucky creatures, with your ability to remove your own pain receptors. Wish I could," says Oberan, his voice a little more strained than it was.

John's pretty sure he's gotten another hit in, but these bullets he's using are making clean little holes, here. If he wants Oberan to bleed out he'll need to do a little more damage.

He prepares to start the next phase of the plan and flank with the knife...

Well, shit. Ah well. If you can grab his weapon arm in your off-hand, do so. A katar isn't very good for slashing, so if he over-extends even a little bit you should be able to get him.

And if he does go to stab you in the face, remember he has a much smaller target area that he is shooting for. Work to keep cutting him anywhere, every wound will pain him and slow him. Whittle him down, keeping that punch dagger away from your face.

Oh yeah...

Okay, if he goes for the diamond, duck under the blow and grab his arm, pulling forward for a good solid slash. If he goes for anywhere else, avoid the blow if convenient, but don't worry about it too much. Higher priority is grabbing his arm. Then you can step forward and cut him.

Knives are best for stabbing, not slashing. They suck at slashing. Hold his arm and thrust into him repeatedly until he stops moving.

Do not let go of that arm. As long as you hold it, he cannot employ the punch dagger.

You are Qal. Your form is yours to command. As you grip him, begin regenerating the flesh burned by the laser, and start converting more tissue to muscle (start with the now unsued pain receptors, and anything that you don't need to live at this very moment. It has become a close quarters fight, and you should adapt accordingly. Go ahead and get rid of organs that are needed for long term survival and convert them too: They can be reformed into their original state later.

This adaptive biology of yours is your greatest weapon. It lets you heal, and become capable of responding to any situation. Use it. Make yourself stronger, more capable of winning a grappling contest.

>>39294
Knifes don't work that way on humans. But look how thin his neck is, a good blow with the edge of the knife could easily take the head off. And even if it doesn't, it's going to severely incapacitate him.

Also, repeated stabbing is actually not a very fast incapacitate, if you don't hit heart or lung, and I for one have no idea whereabouts in this species' body those would be.

Use your new strength to wrench your arms apart, and plant your feet solidly behind you. You have greater mass and strength, and quick action can prevent his maneuver.

Oberan's covered in Delter blood, which is mildly electrocuted. He wouldn't get fried, but he'd be damaged, and he's turned his system back to normal, which means he feels pain.

His arm and leg both sting, but they're already healing quite well.

>read note
>"John: If you're reading this, amazing job. Oberan managed to defeat Colm fairly easily when they dueled, and Colm was a good soldier, not a janitor. Your responsibilities as gunnery sergeant come next, but you've had enough excitement for one day, I think. Now get out of here. There's a certain purple lady who requested the pleasure of your company.

>In the more likely even that Oberan is reading this: Good job once again, I hope you made it quick, and clean up after yourself."

>>39590
He defeated Colm?! But Colm's an Assassin (or a Rogue if you're retarded and/or don't want to use Rennac).

You should go the extra mile and clean up. Then get out of there.

>>39590

Uhh. Do remember you got rid of most of the ... bits that will be helpful in this date. Restore self with PROTEIN!

...I guess you could eat the body.

>Clean up
>eat the body

Kill two birds with one stone?

>>39605
ELECTRICAL BLOOD BAD.

But sure, we should totally clean up. I mean, we do have cleaning apparatuses and experience at cleaning. Besides, it would be both courteous and funny.

But only if you can do it fast, because yeah, the date takes priority.

>>39592

Sadly, I don't think Colm realised twin daggers, even with a critical hit, stand little chance against a blaster.

P.S. Jaffar was here, Colm is a whiney, archer loving loser.

>>39590

Probably should try and at least give the dead some dignity, somehow. Otherwise, get outta there and claim your prize.

>>39665
I dunno, we just used a broom to kill a guy with a laser gun, so...

Also, for the longest time I thought Neimi was Colm's sister, so that whole Support thing really weirded me out...

...heh, why not. John's swabber is right there and everything.

He whistles a little while he works. He's giddy from having survived.

Even if John were that kind of guy, Oberan is both synthetic and electric. It'd be like sucking a sparkplug.

>>39976
Reform those organs you converted during the fight while you finish cleaning.

It would suck to have the date go well and realize you have nothing to enjoy it with.

John's sitting on Cassie's deck, listening to the ocean.

You did reform those sexual organs, right?

If not, do it now.

>>40044
Because we've been saying to do so for quite a while, so if you haven't, you'll be hearing screams of 'railroading' so loud you'll have to turn off your pain receptors.

Don't freak, orb. John's got his systems under control. If he missed this opportunity he'd friggin' kill himself...
and, um, he'd turn his respawner off first.

The date was great. They went to some fantasy flick about a yellow thing with knives for arms, and spent the whole time cracking jokes and statting the characters for Cyclopes and Castles and pissing everyone else in the theater off and having fun.

Then they came home, played that FPS that stars that guy with big shoulders, and then Cassie suggested they look at the sunset then locked him out as a prank.

John is determined to outlast her and not bang on the door.

>>40064
....This is a test.

You need to find some way back inside without her help or damaging anything. Do that, and sweet, tender lovin' awaits.

Probably.

Anyway, take stock of you surroundings and what you have available to you.

>>40064
Ooh, if you really want to get her back, leave a note on how she's made it painfully obvious that she's just been stringing you along and doesn't care about you, then leave. She'll feel so bad it'll be hilarious, and the makeup sex will be awesome.

>>40077
...I somehow get the feeling you aren't being entirely serious. NOW WHERE COULD I GET AN IDEA LIKE THAT.

>>40064
Assume form of yellow thing.
Make sadface at the door.

>>40082
I think you failed your sense motives test. I'm being 100% serious. Don't let her win, ESCALATE THINGS. Turn the situation around, take the war to her villages! Slaughter her women! Rape her livestock!

You're right, O glassy, pinko-voiced friends! John has not yet begun to fight! He'll get even somehow. He'll fight 'er on the rooftops, he'll fight 'er on the streets, he'll fight her, um somewhere else...

Dismiss plans, get ready for tender loving.

Several thoughts flit through John's head as Cassie pulls him inside and closes the door. Thoughts of ecstasy, love, and where she could have found a translucent apron.
he realizes as she takes it off and they join together

It doesn't matter now.

>>40151
John is a real bro, to give us some of his waffles.

>>40162
Thanks I could help bro!
