RMJ 1-3: Practice Ambush and Hot Clay Pigeons

Mission Report

Thursday, February 25, 2027 ((2023-01-28))
Team: Aoibhe (Dae), Key (Dragon), Magni (Wynnri), Reezelyn (Aslene), Wraith (Mike) [Pebble in sick bay]

We recovered and cleaned up from the Grip race. Sergeant Keller continued giving us a tour of the walker. He emphasized the roles that water, electricity, and heat play in the walker’s operation and survival. He ran a practice ambush outside. Magni used the crane while Key shifted into a dire wolf. Next, Keller had us practice shooting at clay pigeons. He showed us how to use the walker’s sensors to see clearly in a blizzard. Finally, we were briefed on our first field op as a team: investigate the corpse of a giant weasel.

Details

• Alpha: Wraith. Beta: Magni.
• Key (Khione): "I am a creative shapeshifter and I will disorient and foil my enemy's plans."
• Magni Snorrison: I am a dvarn runesmith, I use magic and engineering to protect my team.
• Aoibhe Calóg: "I am a calculated doctor, and I buff and heal my allies using my utility spells."
• Wraith (Gleb Vulkarr): I'm a cunning bounty hunter, I will use my wits and tracking skills to assure we get our quarry.
• It's Thursday, February 25, 2027. It's about 10 am. It's been 18 days since the Wall went up (2/7/27).
• Pebble twisted her ankle in the race and is getting it treated in sick bay
• Bloodstreams of the walker: water and electricity
• Electricity is heat, heat is life. Electricity is movement, movement is life.
• Ice Cane Rum
  • Used in moderation on a military walker, and more on special occasions (NSFW)
• Key (Khione): Dire wolf Key is probably one of the least unnatural forms she's turned into. The silver fur and draconic snout are odd but not unnatural and her large claws are hidden by big furry paws. Of course, the heirloom jewelry remains on her front paws, however otherwise she is near indistinguishable from another wolf.
• Magni Snorrison: AS he exits, Magni flinches from the hail and scowls at the sky, as if the hail is a personal insult.
• Reezelyn Harts`: Reeze moves casually around Aoibhe, blocking the wind that's hitting Aoi from that side. Still standing, she leans into the Direwolf's side, like another Direwolf might do, sharing heat and contact.
• Key (Khione): Key, squinting at an old tome of beasts. "I can turn into something Earth historians call a... 'velociraptor?'"
• Dead megafauna, infested with white zamander eggs, zamanders are attracted to electricity and chew into cables
• Carry zamander fever
• Unclear why they were attracted to a giant weasel
