BRIEFING REPORT B-63.7
Sighing Officer: Sgt. Alexei Grishko, 41st Military Arm Arteria Division, "Rasputin"
Date: 02/27/2018
CID: 99181

On the morning of February 15th, 2018, at 0500, the 41st Military Arm Arteria Division, "Rasputin" was briefed on a scouting operation into the [Portal Impact Zone] near the [Russian QZ] on the orders of someone inside of Central. The 41st is to assemble a small, squad-sized element of Conscripts and to send them into the [Portal Impact Zone] to scout out the region for any notable resources that may help in defeating the [Soviet Liberation Fronts] movement into City Three. It is unknown to use as to why hose within Combine Civil Administration suspect that the [Portal Impact Zone] will hold the key to victory, but we are to obey his orders. The squad will assemble all of next week, and be thoroughly trained/supplied in the arctic as well as [anomaly] gear. They will leave City Three on March 3rd, 0400, and will arrive within the Zone at 0600, March 5th. They will then explore the region until they either find what they are searching for - or die trying.

- Sergeant Alexei Grishko.

OOC INFORMATION

Information for the Event:
Date: March 5th, 2022
Time: 4:00PM US EST (Set up) :: 4:30 - 5:00PM (Event Start)
Length: 1-4 Hours (2-3 at most)

As always, this is a passive/RP-orientated event with very little to NO PVP combat. Players will be helming the lead, and are allowed to forge their own choices in what to do on matters. Additionally, ANYONE is allowed to apply - however, the roster will static this go around, with it staying at only 13 PLAYERS. Additionally, when applying you have to put a tad more effort into it so that I know that you're of good quality to play on the event. Anyone with a history of minging, poor roleplay quality, and more will be denied.

Ranks
The Commissar will be the antagonistic force for the Conscripts and will be expected to keep them in line. They are deathly loyal to the Union and do not stray from their morals/lines unless they are prompted to with a good reason (THEY ARE NOT ON THE LEVEL AS OTA). They have no authority over leadership, they are there to maintain order and loyalty. (When applying for Commissar, you must contact me, Noh#8950, to see if you are a good fit with your application.)

The Staff Sergeant is the actual lead of the event. They are suspected to know how to lead well, and effectively. They have full control over the squads at their disposal and mission success hinges on them. Their moral grounds are however you want them. (When applying for SSgt., you must contact me, Noh#8950, to see if you are a good fit with your application)

For Sergeants, they will be helming squads, which is just used as a way for the lead to easily maintain control during the event. Corporals will help maintain overall squad cohesion. Lance Corporals can take over if their Corporal goes down, and Private First Classes will be generic infantry. NOTE, there can only be 1 Corporal/Lance Corporal per squad.

Outside of this, this event will be -dangerous-, but not in the conventional sense. Mistakes will be punished. But any that are will not affect the enjoyment of the others, as the player's enjoyment comes first, over anything else.

Finally, if you do die during the event, you do not have to sit out. We will find you a role to play outside of a Conscript.

STEAM NAME/ID: landon, STEAM_0:0:565672697

DISCORD NAME/ID: Landon#2591

RANK + SQUAD: Corporal, Ladoga Squad

BIOGRAPHY OF YOUR CONSCRIPT: Yahui Huang is a Chinese-American male in his early 30s. Despite the fact he didn't have a substantial social credit standing in the cities he occupied in, he still had a fairly large loyalty to the Union. He thought of the Union so much, he desired to join the ranks of Overwatch soldiers. The problem with his goals was that he had no idea how to prove himself worthy enough to be chosen for the transhuman process. So, he decided to shed his simple citizen rank to become something greater. He got lucky around the time a recruitment drive was occurring, and enlisted himself to become apart of the Arteria. He hopes that him being out in the battlefield will let him do something extraordinary, in order to be noticed by the higher ups so he can achieve the Overwatch soldier job he dreams of reaching. He has been slowly but surely ranking up in the Arteria over the span of various years he's been enlisted, and has currently the ranking of Corporal- which he achieved very recently- but is on track to getting higher up than just that. Since he's joined the Arteria, he has been moved around to many various locations, and different squads. Now, he's been stuck with the Ladoga squad, and is all too nervous about the mission he is soon to face. However, he feels that if he can make himself stand out during the mission, this might be the gig he needs to be qualified for an Overwatch soldier.

(Yahui Huang while on-duty, circa early 2017.)

RESPECTIVE SKILLS (Medic, Engineer, etc): He's quite fluent in medical skills that he primarily obtained before he was enlisted into the Arteria. He can very easily work as a sort of field medic if assigned the job.

Kazimir Levickas
41st Military Arm Arteria Division


RANK + SQUAD:
Private First Class ONEGA SQUAD

Biography:

Kazimir Levickas is a young, thirty-five-year-old Lithuanian man who has dedicated himself to finding a Military, somewhat like a family that can rightfully serve a purpose. Like long ago, he did his nation proud with a family which Kazimir created within his small squadron within the Lithuanian Army. A man stranded, his culture and people left as he searches for his own goals, trying to find his personal and suitable career to dedicate his life to as he feels helpless. He looks about, moving from city to city, trying to find that special place he feels at home with but doesn't feel right.
​

"What can I do if I can not find a family, friends in which I can gain support? I feel helpless, drained of yearning and longing.."

"I must make my own."​

Though troubled, he is an intelligent and courageous man who spends his time tinkering, a former Operator. His most significant component of all, though, is his loyalty; he is willing to do whatever he must for what he believes is righteous. Considering that the better Universal Union brings order to chaos, he wants to serve it well as he did many years ago. Through battlefields and plains, summer and winter, he will do what he deems worthy through thick and thin.​

"Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war."

BIOGRAPHY OF YOUR CONSCRIPT:

Woe unto those who are forced into violence.

Ashkan Rahimi was never much of a fighter. Even at a young age, when most boys tend to be the most wild and scrappy, Ashkan was surprisingly timid, finding more enjoyment in the ventures of literature and art. This was a trait he, unfortunately, would never shake as he entered his early adulthood.

When the Combine discovered Earth, the entirety of the human population kicked into their natural instincts of fight or flight. Of course, Ashkan chose the latter. While he himself considers this the reason he is still alive to this day, there is a level of cowardice he is aware of that he knows is plaguing his soul. To cope with this, he holds his tendency of avoiding conflict as a justifiable reason so long as he continues to exist.

However, life has a way of throwing the most unexpected, cruel events in the wake of those unwilling to seek themselves.

The rising tensions witnessed in City Three were reaching their climactic peaks, and with it, violence among the streets. Though secretly hopeful towards the exceedingly low chances of relocation from City Three, Ashkan knew he would inevitably be forced to fight. The question was: who for?

As the fights and resistance within the city grew, so did the recruitment drives. Conscript programs sprouted up over what little streets remained civil within the districts of Three, and Ashkan was not wishing to be left behind. After a period of being forcefully shifted around among the various squads in lieu of his ‘skills’, Ashkan would inevitably be placed into LADOGA SQUAD, serving and being at the mercy of those superior in rank.

Ashkan’s first mission approaches at a rapid pace.

The thought of fear and death plagues his mind.

All those years of running left one thing clear:

He is vastly unprepared and inexperienced for anything this dangerous.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESPECTIVE SKILLS (Medic, Engineer, etc):
Although quite pathetic in most areas regarding combat, Ashkan holds a considerable level of expertise in the longevity of life. He frequently attempts to rationalize the situation given and can provide less violent alternatives to scenarios–-so long as it results in the continued existence of himself and those around him. Although rather selfish in terms of his own survival, this could extend onto others, albeit verbally translated in an annoying and cowardice fashion.

Essentially: Ashkan is a bonafide coward with no significant skills, but that's the point.​

Commissar - Bogatyr Squad

BIOGRAPHY OF YOUR CONSCRIPT





Pyotr Morozov never knew his biological parents. This was no fault of his own, as the portal storms were so traumatizing that he unconsciously locked all memories of his early childhood away. Indeed - he had grown up in the Echelon program and had always thought of The Benefactors as his parents, The Union his family. He idolized them, and wanted to be just like the Overwatch Transhuman Arm soldiers that occasionally paraded around the towering combine metal walls; cold and ruthless. Unfortunately for Pyotr, his aggressiveness coupled with his immature foolishness caused more than one incident between himself and some of the less loyal boys and girls. His absolute servitude and determination alone was enough to set him amongst the highest tiers in the program. Ironically, however, the same radicalistic fervor is what kept him from achieving any higher than Tier Seven - and consequently transhumanism - as he began verbally (and on occasion, physically) abusing even those amongst the higher tiers for the slightest slip from Union law or belief.

His years as a child over, and as a mature man, Morozov grew into his namesake. Never one to miss an opportunity to serve The Benefactors and crush those that oppose them, Pyotr was pipelined into the Commissar Cadets for the Military Arm Arteria. Morozov thrived as a Cadet, and very soon he was herded into the 41st Division "Rasputin". During his short time in the 41st, he became known to be as cold and unforgiving as the Siberian Frost. The aggressiveness and foolhardiness of his childhood tempered into a calm and competent professionalism.

Fresh-faced and relatively young for someone holding the rank of Commissar, Pyotr Morozov will undoubtedly be underrated as another inexperienced pain-in-the-ass for the squad.

Whether he will live up to this expectation, is yet to be seen.

RESPECTIVE SKILLS (Medic, Engineer, etc)

Trained as a Commissar, Pyotr Morozov's skillset mainly resides with leadership, infantry combat and tactics, and basic combat first-aid. Other than his practical skills, Pyotr is a child of the Echelon Program and therefore a very Union-Educated individual and therefore is proficient with nearly all unclassified combine technology.​
