Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alex Reed walked out of the armory, rubbing his face with a yawn to try to shake the exhaustion off. He was up too late and needed a shave. Compared to Delta, Alpha level was positively boring. Still, the uncertainty of what was going on back there ate at him during all hours. He looked down and made one last check of his armor and weapons. Everything seemed everything was in place. He still had a half hour before his patrol started. He decided a coffee might wake him up and calm his nerves. Holding his helmet under his arm, he proceeded to the common kitchen nearby. As he walked in, he saw George Black sitting nearby. Apparently he had the same idea.
"Doctor Black." Reed said curtly with an inclination of his head. He passed the scientist and made his way to the coffee pot, grabbing a mug from a nearby rack and pouring himself a cup, then adding large amounts of cream and sugar before taking a sip and closing his eyes as the hot drink warmed him from the inside.

The Marine Reed walked into the kitchen, helmet under his arm, and greeted George on the way to the coffee. The scientist leaned forward slightly and put his hand behind his head, responding, "I must confess, I don't actually have a Doctorate, just a Masters in Particle Physics." He gave out a short laugh before continuing, "If you're not too busy, why not sit down and join me for a minute or two? I don't have anywhere I need to be for a while." He raised his coffee mug to his companion and took another sip from it before setting it back down on the table.

Mina looked around. Her room in the living quarters was dark, which was odd. She usually kept small nightlights on all around the room, not enough to make it bright, but enough to keep some light in the room while letting it remain dim. She could only see some light peeking into her room from the cracked door... which also struck her as odd. The doors were automated, so if it was cracked, then it was likely broken, or ran out of power when someone tried opening it. She began to shiver, eyes darting around to the surrounding darkness in her room, hands quickly fumbling beside her on the bed. She grabbed her flashlight, quickly switching it on and aiming it around the room, only to see the light flicker on for a moment before shutting off... But that moment was all she needed. The flashlight revealed a corpse in the corner of her room before shutting back off. She let out a scream and ran doward the door, only to see a large, shadowy figure block the light in it and let out a loud, monstrous roar before the door dented inward, the dent striking her in the chest and knocking her back against the wall. The door suddenly ripped open and the large figure, whatever it was, was quickly apon her...

Mina let out a scream, sitting up in her bed, heart pounding as she looked around. The nightlights were all on. There was no corpse. Her door was fine... Just a dream... She shook her head, going to the bathroom of her living quarters and showering quickly before walking out and checking the time, making sure there was plenty of it before she had to go continue her work on the Plasma Rifle. Dressing herself in the usual black shirt, skirt, stockings and shoes with her red jacket, she grabbed up the flashlight from her bed and set it away in her pocket, then headed out. She needed some coffee, so she started out of the living quarters and headed to the kitchen. Not a long walk at all...

((Okay, image dump time. Here's what the armour looks like Skooge:
Armour
Armour with Helmet
Armour with Helmet 2
And you can have the combat knife, but it'll count as a flashlight that doesn't give light for your weapons.

Kitchen
I'll also be trying to post up some pictures every so often to show what's happening in the RP.))

Mina let out a sigh, rounding the corner into the kitchen. She offered a nod to the men already there. "Morning, gentlemen." She let out, heading over to get herself some coffee, seeing some had already been made. So she merely grabbed herself a cup and added plenty of sugar and cream. She was obviously doing her best to maintain herself. After all, out of everyone here, she was possibly the easiest to effect.... About the sounds coming from where they shouldn't. Add this to her phobia of the dark and she could very easily freak out at the sign of a power outage, or flickering lights...

She approached the men, taking a seat and sipping her coffee. She guessed they had a conversation going, so she thought she might join it. It'd help to settle her down after the dream she had last night.

"Mina!" a voice shouted. The sound was dampered by the thick glass surrounding the kitchen. As the source approached the doors, which slid open with a soft 'woomf' sound, he shouted again, "Mina! Have you looked at the expiremental data we just received. I've been paging your PDA for the past hour." Jeremiah just walked past the marine, unaware of the previous event, and made it to the table where Mina and George were sitting. "The message says a copy was sent to you as well and I thought it'd be best to get to work on replicating these results." After taking a couple breaths, he realized George. "Ah, how you doing George?" Jeremiah asked with a tone more for politeness rather than actual care. The anticipation and excitement were evident and he was eager to get back to work.

"You know Dr. Betruger isn't pleased with our progress," Jeremiah started again focusing on Mina, "especially since we're two months behind schedule. But if this data is right, then we could start field testing in less than a week." Jeremiah took a seat next to Mina and laid his PDA on the table as he quickly started doing different scenarios in his head and the results seemed to please him.

(((Will Xenos or someone who knows what's going on, please tell me what is happening!? I've never played any of the Doom games, so I'm a little lost. I think i'll get the jist of RP quickly, but just how exactly do I begin RPing? I mean, should I just act like I'm patrolling a lab, or be in a battle with a bunch of demon-ghosts? So someone fill me in please.)))
