"I am impressed with your choice of weaponry child. You have been forcefully drafted into the military. I hereby designate you Technical Sergeant Molestia."

[Linguz]

Linguz waved his hand in front of the robot's head.
"Can I get a promotion and know your name?"

[Octavia]

"Promotion denied on accounts of irritability. I am Super Soldier Project Mark 000, first fully functional unit in the Super Soldier Project. Now lets get moving."
The soldier marched through the opposite wall from the hall, creating an improvised exit to the outside.

"I am impressed with your choice of weaponry child. You have been forcefully drafted into the military. I hereby designate you Technical Sergeant Molestia."

Gary turned around, and the usual look of happiness in his face was gone. It was replaced with a dark look.

"Shut the fuck up robot man. Let's go."

[Linguz]

Linguz nodded and followed him.
"Fine, but I think I'll just call you Zero. It's a lot easier to say."

[Octavia]

(Welcome aboard Ferrous. Unfortunately I've got to go all, so I'll be making this last post and be off.)

"Yes sergeant. Private's new nickname for Super Marine Project Mark 000, 'Zero', is now recognized. I shall operate under both names now."
The soldier continued to march off onto the lawn surrounding the school, each 1 ton foot step leaving 4 inch bloody (From the dead teacher) indents in the ground. He stopped and scanned the sky with various sensors inside his helmet, looking for the any hostile that threatened the Earth.
The soldier's brain started to veer off course from the pre-made set list of thoughts a perfect soldier should have that was programmed into his DNA. He wondered why the civilians, and new soldiers, reacted in such a way. From his experience, Humans all acted with military precision and respect. Never once had he been spoken to in such a tone and format.

(Here is where the GM introduces us to our enemy, or should I just keep wandering the town and walking through walls searching for said enemy. BTW, this character I will be nerfing myself tomorrow.)

[Ferrous_Oxide]

Eisen stared in disbelief out of the hole created in the wall by the giant robot man. He quickly began to run through his options, and seeing that the only two to produce any form of results was to either run, hide, and die, or follow the small group comprising of the two students and the robot. Choosing the latter option as he didn't see much good coming from the former, he began jogging towards the group.

[Linguz]

(Might want to pick a weapon from the back or Zero will deny you entrance and tell you to go to the moon.)

[Ferrous_Oxide]

Eisen stopped jogging remembering that he had forgotten his bag. He turned around and ran furiously to his locker, opened it quickly and grabbed his book bag. As he made his way back to the hole in the wall, he decided to stop by the chemistry lab. He walked in quickly, and began to grab some Bunsen burners, as well as some assorted chemicals, and an igniter. after grabbing these meager supplies, he ran back to the hole in the wall, and began running towards the group, as they had gotten much farther away.

[Linguz]

Linguz pulled out his phone and quickly dialed a number. The other side picked up nearly instantly.
"It's started."
The other end spoke.
"This armored marine told us."
The other end spoke again.
"Use your phone's GPS and find my phone."
The other end spoke again.
"Yes. I have it with me. I'll see you when you get here."
The other end disconnected.

[Octavia]

The HUD in Zero's helmet displayed the results from the scan of the sky with a beep, refocusing his thoughts. Exactly 0 hostiles, 46 civilians in various aircraft. He reached up and activated his radio on his helmet.
"Super Marine Project Mark 000 reporting. Sir, there are 0 hostiles in the area. I'm awaiting your orders... Yes sir. Super Marine Project Mark 000 out."

With that, the marine turned off his radio and fell back on his ass, shaking the ground and making an indent in the grass. He reached up and grabbed his helmet as he spoke commands to the Helmet's computer. He lifted up and revealed his large and very pale shave head. He put his helmet down quickly and shielded his eyes from the sun for a few moments, then once his eyes adjusted he reached down to a large armored case attached to his leg and removed a jar of peanut butter, from which he shoveled a large spoon full of the awesome substance into his mouth. He looked up at the sky as he consumed to gooey awesomeness.
"You know, the sky is a pretty awesome color. They should bring that down into the bunker."

[Linguz]

Linguz looked at the marine and sat down next to him.
(Going to assume Gary and FeO's characters sat down as well.)
After about 10 minutes of waiting, a voice behind them spoke.
[color=red]"Aliens attack, and you have a picnic? What's up, Linguz?"

Name: Malfure
Species: Human
Sex: Male
Description: Fighter.
Personality: Linguz's best friend. Skips school nearly every day. When he does come to school, he is suspended for weeks. Often partakes in street brawls.
Other: Skilled with any two handed weapon or heavy machine gun.

Linguz looked back and grinned.
"Zero here sat down so we all did."
He stood up and put the broadsword into the ground between them.
Malfure gripped the hilt and slung it across his shoulder, tightening it up so the sheath wouldn't move.
"So what are we going to do, Zero?"

[Octavia]

Zero looked up at the new arrival and frowned.
"I dunno, citizen. I think I'll just lay around until someone calls or I'm picked up by the commander. I'd like to enjoy the surface before I'm taken back into the bunker again. They don't test outside often. It's also the first time I've been without a commanding officer present."
He consumed another spoon full of peanut butter, put the jar back in the case. He looked at the spoon, then decided to throw it as far as he could, and watched as it disappeared down the street. He pulled out a canteen from the case, took a long drink of water, and replaced it. Zero laid back on the grass and stared up into the sky.

[Linguz]

Malfure cocked his head.
"Citizen, am I? Well, I request to join the military."

[Octavia]

"Fine with me, as long as it pleases you to die for your country. Whenever I return to the darkness of my helmet I'll enter you into the system. I dub thee Second Lieutenant Bolter."
Zero sat up.
"I hear you have large bodys of water here on the surface that occur naturally. Where can I see one of these?"

[Linguz]

Malfure shrugged.
"The name's good enough for me."
Linguz took out his phone and clicked the screen a few times.
"There's a lake a couple miles to the south. It's pretty big too."

[Octavia]

Zero jumped up to his feet, pulled on his helmet for a moment to find south, then popped it off and started walking.

[Ferrous_Oxide]

Eisen followed along with the group, slightly surprised that no one had noticed him yet. He had been just standing there for a while with no acknowledgement to his existence.
"Um, hello," he said with minor annoyance, "Am I invisible or something? I've been following along for like ten minutes, and none of you even glance at me. Can you even hear what I'm saying right now?"
While he spoke, he made highly exaggerated gestures with his arms.

[Linguz]

Linguz looked at him and shrugged.
"I don't talk much."
Malfure glanced at him.
"I've never even seen you before at the school. But then again, I don't go. What's your name?"

[Ferrous_Oxide]

Eisen was glad that someone finally took notice of him. He turned toward the guy who had asked him his name.
"My names Eisen," he said, as he stuck his hands in his pockets, "Yours?"

[Linguz]

Malfure unsheathed his sword and began to look at the edge.
"Malfure."

[Octavia]

After walking about fifty yards, Zero noticed his helmet's heads up light blinking inside. He was receiving a call. He considered ignoring it for a moment, but then pulled on his helmet and sealed it shut. He activated the call function.
"Super Marine Project Mark 000 reporting... Yes sir... Now sir?... Yes sir. Thank you sir, I'll be sure to pick him up and bring him back as soon as it arrives... It shall be done. Super Marine Project mark 000, out."
Zero stopped walking and stayed put. He activated a timer on his HUD, and set it to two minutes, and waited.

[Linguz]

Malfure and Linguz got in front of Zero.
"What's going on?"

[Ferrous_Oxide]

Eisen followed along with Malfure and the other guy as they walked in front of the man in the robotic suit. He waved his hand at the robotic-suited man, grinning for no conceivable reason. He continued to wave his hand for an inordinate amount of time.

[Crona The Critic]

QUIT LEAVING ME IN THE DUST ><

Gary followed behind them, slowly turning his head to scan the area.

[Octavia]

"The commanding officer of the Super Marine Project has launched a special delivery for myself. To help me get around you see."
He looked up, searching the sky.
"The jump pack should land in the area VIA missile in about a minute. I'd stand back, as the targeting of the missile systems has been known to be off on occasion. After I've got the machine, I'm to leave you for the time being and return to this spot in about ten minutes. I think I'll stop at this body of water you mentioned first though."
Zero smiled. He had read somewhere in his education that the bodys of water that littered the surface of the earth were breathtakingly beautiful. He didn't intend to let some nerdy VIP ruin his only time outside in 19 years.
Zero noticed the child swinging his arms back and forth.
"Does this one have issues?"

(On a side note - HOLY SHIT NEW EMOTICONZ! )

[Linguz]

Malfure and Linguz both shrugged.
"I have no idea who he is."

[Ferrous_Oxide]

Eisen continued to wave his arms. He continued to grin like an idiot.
"Issues," he said, "I have plenty of them. But the waving arms thing is because I'm deriving an odd sense of euphoria from it."
He continued to swing his arms.

[Octavia]

Zero looked at Eisen curiously.
"No one in the bunker ever acted quite like you."
He quickly turned to the sky as a small light burned its way through the sky at an enormous speed. As the missile neared the group, it's travel path curved downwards and was quickly speeding towards the ground. It impacted with enough force to through dirt and dust everywhere, and make an impact crater five feet deep. Super Marine Project Mark 000 jogged over to the missile, which had missed by about twenty feet, And quickly tore open the body of the missile to reveal a large blue painted contraption with two rocket like protrusions coming from the back. He started to attached the machine to his back and activate the machine through his helmet.
