Djuan and I have played many battles together
with more than half of those experiences
being with one of us commanding. So,
we have gotten comfortable with each
other’s play styles. He knows he can trust
me with getting what I need to get done
and choosing the right people to put our
trust in for missions. It’s simple for me as a
mission’s player to use what I have right in
front of me. If a player is eager and willing to
put themselves out there for the betterment
of the team, while having fun doing it, then
they are the obvious choice. We had a great
group of players not only willing to rush the
front lines but a handful of willing missions’
guys. It was also very helpful to have such
dedicated role-playing characters.
There were three role playing classes that
involved four total players. I will give some
basics but don’t want to waste space on going
to in-depth describing them. There were
two engineer class’ that had yellow caution

tape and a satchel charge. The yellow tape
works by the engineer being the only player
that can touch it without dying. So, he can
mark area’s off that standard players cannot
cross and pick up items with yellow tape on
them. There was one medic who carried red
tape, which acted the same as the engineer’s
yellow tape, and he was needed for certain
missions. There was also one scientist who
carried green tape, which acted the same
as the other tapes, and he was also part of
missions. I may have heard that next year the
scientist will have an ability to build certain
toxic warheads.
So the day started out with missions that
had to be retrieved from the brig, which we
completed, and the players brought back a
big green tote. I opened this tote to find a
prepaid touch screen cell phone. I turned
the cell phone on and immediately received
a text message from “HIGH COMMAND.”
