Nuu chapter! SE 01 CH 02 Extermination Crew Spoiler The Eternal touched down on the landing platform just outside of the mine entrance just as dusk was setting in. As the ramp opened up, an officer walked up to John and Rakarl. "Greetings," he said warmly, "Welcome to Volrom." He shook both their hands. "You are here to temporarily replace our guard, yes?" John nodded. "Yea, uh, we're here to investigate, and hopefully resolve, a certain 'pest control' problem?" he asked. "Ah, yes," the officer assured, "we have what you could call a 'pest control' problem. You see, someone or something has been lurking this area at night and has been going into the mines in search of something, most likely crystals. Two nights ago, our last guard was injured out of commission and has been given medical aid. However, he won't recover until ~3 days from now. Your job is to guard the entrance to this mine here until he recovers. On top of that, you must also try to investigate, capture or kill this creature, then bring it back to us for confirmation. You will be paid on how much work you manage to accomplish. 100 credits for guarding for three nights, 150 credits for killing/capturing it, and 300 for bringing it back alive or dead." "Do you have a physical description of 'it'?" John asked. "Pardon." asked the officer, caught off guard by the abrupt question. "Do you know what it looks like?" "Oh, uh, well no, sadly." the officer replied. "Our guard could only see shadows and glances of the creature when looking for it. And he only got a good look at it before he got injured, but he can not remember." The officer had a worried and frustrated look on him. John reassured him, "Don't worry, we'll find whatever it is that's pestering you." He smiled. "I'll even feed him to my partner if you want; He's of the carnivorous type." John smirked back at Rakarl as he returned an approving nod. "Erm, that won't be necessary." said the now disgusted officer. "Just be sure to bring it back alive or dead. You may set up camp over there by the entrance." He turned away as his escorts followed back to his post. John then turned to Rakarl and said, "Hmm, alright, let's get back the ship for supplies and then set up camp. Since I have better senses at night, I'll take nigh watch, and you'll take morning watch, deal?" "Deal." approved Rakarl. "Good. Now let's set up camp." John said, and the duo headed back to the Eternal. TL;DR The pair is briefed more in-depth as they prepare too set up camp for the next three days.

Just click on it a couple times, it'll eventually change the image after it goes "Oh, so the website looks like this now, k changing."

Thanks Verumae cmndr.

So you think you can 1-up me, is that it Cube? Series Premiere! A Small Step into a Larger World Location: Eternal Interior, hyperspace on route to Volrom Spoiler "So, where are we heading off to?" asked Rakarl. "Volrom, a rocky planet rich in precious crystal deposits," John said, "We have been tasked to guard the mine for three nights and investigate a certain "pest control" problem." "What "pests" are they talking about? Are they err- edible? Because I'm hungry," Rakarl said with a watery mouth. "That's just it," John said with a questioning face, "we don't know what we're up against. All our client said is that something has been rummaging through the mine entrance at night. It could be harmless pests, or it could armed mine robbers trying to steal precious crystal gems. They said their last guard had an accident while on duty, so they need a temporary replacement until he recovers." "Sounds boring," grumbled Rakarl, "I thought you said you needed my fighting skills, not babysitting some shiny rocks." "Those 'rocks' are worth more than your own life, my slobbery friend," John said glaringly. "Also, have patience. Mercenary work is almost never exciting during peacetime, there will always be the slow-paced jobs with a few trigger-happy, 'shoot at anything that moves' ones in between, rarely. I chose this one to train you in such a lesson. Needless to say, you're failing." John gave Rakarl an unimpressed look as Rakarl growled lightly. "Heads up, we're here." The Eternal came out of hyperspace as a small, brown planet appeared and was getting larger, with several mining ships surrounding it. "There it is, Volrom." "Master Caveson," Mara interrupted. "We are receiving a transmission." "Put it through," said John. "Yes sir," MARA acknowledged. Suddenly, a face of a male human, roughly 40 years of age, with black hair and in a uniform appeared on screen. Then, a voice was heard from the radio. "Unknown vessel, you are traveling in a restricted area. State your business or leave, or you will be fired upon. This is your only warning." "This is John Caveson of the Drac-9 Scouting Vessel, Eternal. My business partner and I have arrived to take care of your 'pest' problem, as per the advertisement, and we request permission to land." John said, as if like a robot. The man looked away as if conversing with a superior. He then nodded as in confirming an order, then turned back to John. "Eternal, you have been cleared for landing and will be escorted to your destination. Please follow the escorts to your destination, where you will land on platform 4E201." John confirmed. "Acknowledged, thank you." *end transmission* The Eternal then headed towards the planet, escorted by two small fighter ships. TL;DR John debriefs Rakarl (much to his annoyance) on their first job and arrives at their destination.

Welp, now that's over. Now it's time to pretend like it never happened. Back to work everyone.

Title, what's your overall favorite competitive TF2 format and why? Favorite to watch? Favorite to play? I personally enjoy watching and playing HL. All of the different classes get to be represented, it's the most inclusive as it bridges the gap between pubs and comp better, and it's the format that's officially supported by Valve the most. Plus, it provides a nice way for a control group for experiments on how the different classes are effective at different things, like a full team of Gunslinger Engies. 6v6 just seems so disconnected from modern TF2 and 4v4 is just too new for me to have an opinion on it. And as for Utilduo? Well....you know, who cares about Utilduo, right? Anyways, that's just my opinion, what do you guys enjoy?

My fellow subspufians, today is a somber, sorrowful night for the forum. One of our own has died, and I'm not talking about dead as inactive, either here or abroad, I'm talking about actually dead in real life. On January 11th, 2015, XYTWO the Moon God, known around here as Unromantic XYTWO, suffered an aneurism. On January 13th, 2015, he died in the hospital he was rushed to. Here's the chat between DrEvilBrain and XY's roommate: Spoiler Never tell your password to anyone. 9:08 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: Who are you? 9:09 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: Hey, sorry to bother you 9:09 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: But a friend of mine recently dropped off the face of the earth 9:09 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: HIs name's XYTWO 9:09 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: James is dead. 9:10 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: Sorry you had to find out this way. 9:10 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: I'm sorry to hear that 9:11 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: Were you close? 9:11 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: Not until quite recently I would say 9:11 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: There's people who would be more depressed to hear that news 9:12 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: I didn't really know any of his friends, so I couldn't contact them. If you could, I would appreciate it. 9:12 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: I know a good number of them 9:12 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: I'll do what I can 9:12 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: Thanks man. 9:12 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: Thank you 9:12 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: No prob. 9:13 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: You can talk to me anytime if you need to, for what its worth. 9:13 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: I probably shouldn't ask 9:13 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: But what exactly happened? 9:14 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: He had an aneurism on the 11th, and died in the hospital on the 13th. 9:15 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: Docs said it was inoperable, or so I hear. 9:15 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: Thank you 9:16 PM - ⇑⇑⇓⇓⇐⇒⇐⇒ᗷᗅ: No prob dude. If there's anything you need, I'll be happy to tell you what I can. See ya around. 9:16 PM - SPUF DJ | DrEvilBrain: See you too According to his roommate, the doctors said it was inoperable. So they couldn't save him. And so, I've created this thread so we as a forum can remember him and share our condolences to his friends and family. Post a testimony here if you have anything to say about our fallen comrade. I would also humbly request than no one post anything on the forum (except for this thread) for 10 minutes as a "moment of silence" in memorial for our fellow XY. I suppose I should start us off. I may not be the most qualified to say something, and I'm sure as hell ain't the most qualified to make this thread, but dammit, I'm going to say something! I may not have known XY as much as some of you. To me, he was always that Pyro main that loved Leeroy Jenkinsing it with the Backburner. But he was a pretty cool guy. He was one of the first to add me on Steam after I hosted my first SPUF event on the old SPUFserver. He was also the first (i think) to add me as a friend here on subSPUF. Earlier last month, he traded me his Collector's Backburner as collateral for me lending him my Festive Grenade Launcher for the Festive SPUF Event. I was stunned that he would do that. I mean, to trust (what I assumed to be) your most prized possession in the game to a total stranger on the Internet as a sign of trust, was a total leap of faith. And to this day, I wonder, if I met him in real life, if we would be good friends. I think I know my answer now. Funnily enough, he's in SoCal like me, so in reality, it was totally possible. And to think, that suddenly out of nowhere, someone you know dropped from the face of the Earth suddenly and you don't know what happened, and then this comes up, is....quite surreal. Rest in piece XYTWO, I will remember your kindness, and your family has my condolences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ShzyggtsCs

I don't care, I'm hyped. Hopefully it'll be the last one though. Though only one animotronic? hmm, interesting. I also see some new mechanics have been added. Fun all around.

I'm cool with it. Will we do forum names or real names? Or even both?

TBH, I think I would be grateful and touched by the fact that my son had a far-reaching effect on a lot of strangers from around the globe. It just shows how cool of a guy he was to even random strangers by brightening their day, and is something to be proud of that he will be remembered by not just close friends and family. And if I got something like this from several random internet communities like this one, I would be honored. I mean, if it was just one or two people, then yea it would be creepy a bit, but it isn't just that, it's entire forums. Though that's just me.

Oy m8, put a shrimp on the barbay, wanka! Am I Aussie yet?
