so what happened was the kobayashi were drafting foreigners to throw at the ELA (chinese, korean & russian) forces during the invasion of manchuria. ELA forces kind of distrusted each other since they were 3 nationalities fighting to keep the kobayashi out in real meatgrinder situations. trench warfare on a ludicrous scale, thousands dead each hour.

my character wanted to link up with the ELA again to find out where Engel Haas disappeared to (he was a founding member of the ELA-BAF 'merger') so he used an old fake ID to get pressed into service, with him was some other character (who was played by someone I forgot) we'll call bob - some ex-union scientist, @cns - he/him/his's asian captain ex-conscript, and two other guys.

they got thrown in with crude weapons and after the wave before them charged the ELA lines (only to die in the shelling and hit by machinegun emplacements) the four of us went over the top. I pulled back, aimed my gun at the guys in front while hiding in a shellhole and hesitated on shooting them - at first I was simply going to look and wait until they either deserted or died, but Bob ended up striking a conversation about how he wanted an out of this hellscape, so we just decided to have the two of us openly shoot the others, give them a chance to fight us openly and stop us if they could.

cns got shot in the head and I forget if we killed the other guy or he got offed by the event characters. after the kobayashi wave were wiped out, we surrendered and found ourselves interrogated for half an hour before being moved on to beijing.

bob later died of cancer while he was the guest of the ELA months later, something about how he came to manchuria to die in the first place, my mind's pretty blank regarding most of his motivations. my character found Haas and pretty much ceased to be a server presence by then, more content to exile himself away from an insurgency that had long forgotten most of his veteran ilk.

also the map did have snow, it even had snowfall while most of it was barren dirt - I remember that distinctly.



e: went looking for the event convo and while I couldn't find it, I did find this image rp document I made up for some @sots event that came ages after and I wasn't picked for. @slick and @sots shout out for the chaos of the mojave event, flip of a coin and I wouldn't have had the character. still feel bad for how you guys took that gamble, refused the seat and went back to the camp only for everyone to flip out homicidal while me and @john got a free flight out.

I did give them a good chance, keep that in mind.

only started blasting when they made it clear they were committed to the Kobayashi despite standing in the literal guts of the last 20-ish men sent by them in the last wave.

you'd have to ask @GenericPlayer

I got asked to be your guide at the last second, had some fun but most of it was improv on the spot.

that does remind me - 'Bob' was Heinrich Model. I still don't know why he volunteered for the manchurian suicide event though.

because in this event there was an irradiated AKM script that if anyone was to pick up they’d have immediately died of cancer because the akm prop had an /objectphysdesc describing that it was literally glowing with radiation.

That objectphysdesc wasn’t visible to Model and myself because we both joined the server after it had been created, so to us it just looked like a prop.
I specified grabbing it with my robotic arm so my robot arm was destroyed but Heinrich rawdogged it and got incurable cancer
heinrich was played by @Jacksquare if memory serves

Also if I had a dollar for every time Renjiro almost died trying to get an AKM script i’d have three dollars

bahahaha I remember helping set that script up, completely forgot it was that event.

also @Chezburger can you remind me of what the EFR was i remember it like supercharged vortal abilities but got removed for being OP?
the EFR existed as a plot device to blow up the gene worm.

then it got used again in Thermogenesis for something else; it was given to @Tyrone and the ELA for some event stuff and then depowered after that. how psi-tech or whomever got a hold of it afterwards is something I forget (@Generally Fruity likely had something to do with it, I certainly never did anything more with it) but it was never intended to be anything more than a holy grail event macguffin when we originally created it, capable of folding space and outright breaking physics.
