Operation: Not-So-Lone-Guardian

[alertcommando]

The door opens into what seems to be a warehouse, but a quick look around reveals it to be a boathouse, a large one. Tied to the enclosed pier, a U.S. Navy Amphibious troop transport waits for the combatants. Lined up near the transport are weapons, scuba gear and four 20 gallon metal drums.

Didn't Teja's mun also volunteer? Admittedly, she's on a road trip right now.

I could almost feel sorry for the Conscripts. At least they'll have interesting deaths. ;-)

Bit of background info Annabelle will need:

The game's story line starts off with the American military being caught completely off guard by the Soviet invasion of the USA, with Soviet aircraft and paratroopers coming in on both the East Coast and West Coast and with the majority of Soviet ground forces coming in through Mexico, which had recently voted in a communist government. The USA attempts to retaliate with the use of nuclear missiles, but Yuri, leader of the Soviet Psychic Corps and Premier Romanov's top advisor, uses his mind control to manipulate the personnel charged with launching the warheads and leaves them to explode in their silos. Within hours, the USA is overrun with Red Army troops. In response, the US President Michael Dugan establishes an emergency response team headed by General Carville and the Commander (the player).

So, rural parts of the United States have been 'self-nuked', and Annabelle was told what little they know about Yuri and his mind-controlling powers.

*Face-palm* None of those things is going to make Annabelle happy, especially Yuri.

I suspect some part of Annabelle's mind is wondering if she'll ever get away from psychics with world domination ambitions. ;-)

Oh, it gets worse later, when Yuri starts deploying Psi-dominator towers and mind-controlling entire cities.

*Glare of death at Yuri*

Are you waiting for someone else to tag into the plot thread?

Re: OOC: Read This First

[alertcommando]

nope, just was having a quick early dinner.

Re: OOC: Read This First

[aeons_crackshot]

Ah, my apologies then. I thought that maybe you were waiting for Teja's player to tag in.

*Grins* If Teja was coming along I would have had to change Annabelle's last post. I don't think she would have been too at ease changing in front of a man.

Re: OOC: Read This First

[alertcommando]

My bad. retagged with clarification.

Re: OOC: Read This First

[aeons_crackshot]

So it is just the two of them?

The Soviets should have brought more troops. ;-)

Re: OOC: Read This First

[alertcommando]

And after your tag, I think we reached a good end-spot? Very good prethreading.

I will post the bait in bar later, to move canon along.

Re: OOC: Read This First

Sounds good to me, and thank you. I wonder if there are any surviving Soviets who will spread the news about the dynamic duo. Of course, the Allied rumor mill might serve much the same purpose. *grin*
