After clearing the immediate threat of the truck, Vidal is relieved somewhat to have a task more tailored to his specialty. "Roger, sergent," he responds as he quickly brings up the radio. "Tango 3, this is Tango 31 Blue, over." Knowledge check (technology): 20

Vidal quietly obeys each of Sgt. Kat's orders as he forces himself back to lucidity. As they approach the truck, the stories come to mind of secondary attacks on a target after responders to the first attack have arrived at the scene. Increasingly wary, he nervously and angrily scans the area...

Vidal suffers throughout the day, tired and somewhat ill-prepared because he stayed up late writing to his sister, then checking his equipment for today’s march. It was easy to get carried away when writing home, and he ended up sleeping for less than four hours. He had little trouble keeping...

Marshal Colburn Colburn looks over the contents of the wagon once more before making his way over the rocks back up to the prisoners on the road. He paces around them only for a few moments. Watching them sweat, he gets the sense that this wasn't their typical business, and they definitely...

"Sounds fantastic! If you could point me to him sometime I'd appreciate it. You know what they say about bruises and pain - weakness leaving the body." Vidal fills his plate as much as the cooks will allow and finds a seat with his peers. After that encounter with the rifle-butt in the...

Thanks for all that info, Boss Shaman. It's certainly appreciated, as always. I'll try to keep up tomorrow, and maybe even post from home, but it'll be a challenge for me until probably Tuesday. The vacation's going well. We're going out on a speedboat tomorrow morning to check out some...

Vidal listens to all the conversation about athletics from a short distance. He couldn't shake his discomfort at the whole thing. Didn't we come here to fight? To do a job? He justified it all by telling himself that the activities would keep them fit and boost their morale, but didn't have...

:heh: Well, I do have a few things planned, but I'm mostly excited about the July 4th party and the car races (Ferrari Racing Days and ALMS) and dolphin watching (beware the music). By the way, I know what a pain it is to write my screen name (I experience it everytime I have to log in), so...

Vidal moves toward a bunk near Asmussen and starts unloading what he's got, placing his spare jump boots neatly under the bunk before tossing his bag on top. He makes eye contact with Asmussen and laughs quietly at Normand's remark, under the assumption that it was a bad joke. "I'll rack up...

TestThis is only a test. I agree with Bob's requests. They're not necessary, but would give us a much clearer picture of the game. Also, my access will be intermittent over the next three weeks, starting tomorrow, as I'll be on a vacation of sorts until about 17 July.

Sorry I held things up this weekend. I guess I'll try not to rely on the email alerts anymore.

When Vidal joined the Legionnaires, he was anxious and somewhat uncomfortable with all the formations, drilling, courtesy, and other garrison trappings, but he quickly came to appreciate and even enjoy them, as it gave him a solid sense of feeling that he was part of something bigger. He...

Vidal leans over to accept the cigarette, taking it from the Turk with a pronounced nod and smile. "Don't worry, this won't become a habit." Still smiling, he settles back in next to Pyotr and draws his lighter, but pauses with the items in each hand before lighting up, a perplexed look on his...

Marshal Colburn "I won't tell you boys again. I suggest you get up there in the road, keep your hands in the air, and do your best not to give Bear Trap there an excuse to hone his brawlin' skills any more." The Marshal keeps a cold eye on the men, pistol aimed at the group. "Oh, and keep...

Wow, that was very nearly worth watching. Not bad for a Power Rangers spin-off. :D

I haven't even tried an alternate language yet, and I still enjoy the insight. :)

Vidal chuckles at the jokes as he takes a seat next to Pyotr. "Anyone know how long this ride is supposed to be? I don't mean to be unappreciative of the motorized transportation, but if I'm not flying, I'd prefer to be on my feet. These monsters make a fine target." He knows he's setting...

Marshal Colburn "Wise move boys! Now let's try all this again. Y'all step up here away from that wagon, and keep those hands up." "Way to stay on top Mr. McLean. And to you Mr. Williams, if I may use the word fine to describe such brute force..." He glances again at the fetally...

That's interesting. I was just reading something about Stockholm Syndrome, and it could be argued that it applies to Ahmed's situation, though his dilemma seems more focused on himself than his captors.

"We had to take a short break from combat to finish jump school, but yeah, I guess we're replacing somebody." Vidal thinks of Berg and Martinez at the mention of the word, solemnly introducing himself and extending his own hand to the man. "We did see Sergeant Duval, Dinter, Neumann and...
