So I've noticed a huge lack of RPGs with storylines. Or at least ones that unfold at a decent pace. So I've decided to make a two-parter (and possibly a subsequent sandbox sequel). But too much explaining, let's get to the story already!

Nearly 64 light years away from the Blue Planet is a mostly barren alien world, mostly inhabited by polymimetic crystalline formations, and the occasional fungus patch. The crystal itself is the future of human space technology, with it's self-replicative behavior. Unfortunately, the scientists that were studying the crystals were mimicked. With the jumpstart of having a living being in it's molecular memory, it began spawning a whole civilization. This attracted the attention of a race of ancient explorers, of whom we know little. But now, to harvest the crystal and put it to our own uses, we have to subdue the local fauna and transport them to processing plants. Sure, some naturalists had objections, but the war council made a tactical decision that they wouldn't complain after a few minutes in the cold vacuum of space.

12/4/AD2162/0630 Earth Time: Mankind is half an hour away from it's first interstellar invasion. You've got to gear up and get to your dropship. Outside the generation ship there are faint pops in the atmosphere, probably enemy fighters.

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

More weapons will be available later on, and if the players ask, more vehicles. Choose your loadout, and I'll set the rest up. Your rank is basically your level, and with level comes larger teams and access to better quality equipment and weapons. Want to increase your HP? Equipment does that. Augments also do that.

Word to the wise for wannabe officers, managing a large group can be as challenging as it is rewarding. You can get promoted to the point where you control several tanks, aircraft, or even ships! But managing those resources is time-consuming.

Your objective: Establish a foothold on the alien homeworld, and push to what seems to be their capitol. Expect heavy resistance.

I pull out my colt and move toward my gunner. "Do you think yourself a king, a high noble who doesn't take orders from mere men of the military? Do you think yourself above us as soldiers? Do you think you can do whatever you fancy whenever you feel like it? Well?!" I rhetorically ask, near shouting now. "Because the last time I checked I was your superior officer and you are nothing more then a grunt, your body a gear in the great war machine and your blood the oil to keep it running smoothly! Now fall in line soldier, your punishment is to join Fireteam Alpha and you will be first through the breach in anything they do. Your body a shield for better men!" I shout, leaving not caring for a response. I turn on my radio as I enter the tank, "Sergeant Miller, you received a new soldier, send him to my tank I have a replacement for you. He is to enter every room, alleyway, street, etc first. Every time. He is yours to do with as you see fit as long as he goes first." I say waiting for my new gunner before we head off.

Your local officer berates an unfortunate corporal, shouting and fuming, brandishing his pistol. He gets back in his tank.

"Yes, sir!" The Sergeant says, somewhat intimidated by your reaction to a weapons check. The lucky Private happily hops into the gunner position, a big smile from ear to ear.

I look over the life pods to see if they'll fit me. If they do, I make sure that they're pointing at the planet. It would be very unfortunate if I got launched into space until some patrol found me.

"Sanchez, sir."

By the looks of the private being in the seat with his hands on the turret controls, it would seem he is ready to rumble.

You know every minute you waste, the enemy becomes more aware of you. Just putting that out there as a brotip.

You are moved to the platoon's Fireteam Alpha. "Corporal, you'll be taking point the whole way through. Lieutenant's orders," the sergeant in charge says.

The lifepod is quite spacious. You launch out of the belly of the ship into the atmosphere of the planet. Immediately, flak starts popping around you. The pod's systems are intact. There are three control panels. Two triangular panels on the side of a main control panel. There is a control stick in the center of the main control panel. There are four seats, two in the front and two in the back. In training you were taught that there are weapons and supply caches stored in crates in the floor and walls. There are exits on either side of the pod, and power systems and engine maintenance in the back.

The mortars stay behind and begin shelling the village from about 2000m. The armor begins to roll out, and the men chatter in the Rhinos.

I'm actually surprised he didn't shoot you or something. One time he got frustrated with me in a forum game and had a whole platoon of guys plus some ghosts trying to kill me.

Anyways, the Rhino you're in lurches forward.

Crap, that was quick.

I take the stick and take evasive maneuvers, being sure to throw in deceptive evasions in order to keep the Flak boys guessing.

You can feel the muffled explosions pound around the little ship. You make it into the upper atmosphere, and by now there are three strikecraft chasing you. Several bullets rip through your hull, and you feel the engine cough, the ship shuddering and belching out melting metal shards and smoke. Suddenly, several alien fighters clear your tail. But by now it's too late. The hits were straight through the engines into the Thorium power nodes. The ship lurches downward, and after a fast descent, the ship blasts into the ground. You are smashed against the controls, and explosions roar around you as the ship goes up in flames and bursting power units. There is one final, deafening explosion, and your body is engulfed in searing flames. You can smell your flesh sizzle, but you can't hear the sickening pop of burning flesh. The explosion has deafened you completely. Your eyes are filling with a purple liquid that seems to be your blood, and you feel something through your throat. A figure is approaching through the smoke. You can hear a silent screaming in the back of your head, sucking your consciousness away from life.

The figure gets closer, and two more appear through the smoke. You feel incredibly tired, and the strain of rolling your eyeballs in their direction makes you feel like passing out. Your neck aches with effort, the pain becoming dull. You begin convulsing as you run out of air.

The figure, an alien, stops over you, and looks down at you.
"Join us, stepbrother. We need to be healed."
He offers you his hand.
