[IC] Interlude 1: The Bunker

Jul 18, 2022 7:30 pm
You spend a few days after your rescue in 'the Bunker', along with a few dozen other survivors. It seems like a unit of the Gardassian Home Defense Force is running the place, under the command of an elusive figure called 'The Colonel'. After you have regained your strength and composure, you are eventually one by one called to the Colonel's office and are debriefed about your actions during the invasion.

The Colonel


You have shown courage and determination in the face of the invading force. Your little group was the only one known to successfully bring down one of these damned drones that terrorized our people after the first barrage. For this I must commend you, and ask you to volunteer for the Gardassian Defense Force. You can still operate as a small unit if you wish, since you seem to have fared well under stress together. We are starting to wage a campaing of terror against the occupiers and their collaborators. Small units of the Defense Force are tasked with missions of sabotage, infiltration, information gathering and so on. If you agree to these terms, you will be returned to the city by night, and given secure communication devices and liaisons that can be used to receive mission details.

In the meantime, we will quickly train you on some useful tasks:

- Weapon handling
- Hand to hand combat
- Subterfuge
- Cryptography
- Explosives
- Electronic Warfare
OOC:
Each one pick one category you decided to be trained in, and explain what exactly you learned to do. You gain 1 relevant item from this category e.g. a weapon or an encoding device etc.
You may ask any question now...

I think it would be fun to learn to hack drones but I don’t think Katerina has the aptitude for that. What would subterfuge mean?
Colonel have they ruined the city?

Electronic warfare, Colonel? That seems like a thing I would do well. says Konstantos.

He learns how to jam Severnan radios, cell phones, drone controllers, and radar using equipment about the size of a backpack. He's also warned about radiation hazards from the backpack emitter - there is a thin sheet of lead between his back and the pack, and the lead sheet curls a bit over the top of the pack to shield the back of his head. Is there a tin-foil helmet, too? he asks, but nobody laughs. The trainers are quite serious - even grim. Konstantos longs for a toke. But he finds it possible to focus now that the worst of the jones has worn away.

Dan would definitely be a good fit for cryptography training.
"Well that sounds ... um ... great but I need stitches and can't yet walk properly without pain and bleeding."

This is his ticket to his family Dan thinks. Become invaluable in intercepting communications, encrypting their messages, whatever they need, and then he could negotiate help finding and securing them.

Subterfuge includes skills such as falsification of documents, changing appearance (make up etc), lock picking etc

The City center is largely destroyed as are the military camps and the harbor area. Purely residential areas were not bombed as hard, but people are suffering there due to hunger and disease. We are holed up here in Center city, within the occupied zone and close to many sensitive control centers of the occupiers. We must be very careful not to be discovered...

weapons training or explosives - what seems more useful, you guys? also can you think of subcategories besides, shooting/planting/exploding and taking care of equipment :) ?

Katerina is probably going up to Konstantos when she can to practice her Servernan.
