Metal Gear Solid V: Europan War (Metal Gear/Valkyria Chronicles)

The Gallian Expedition
You were preparing a simple mission roster, a Combat Engineer, an Assault Trooper, a Sniper, and two Riflemen. Quiet would also be accompanying you in this expedition, considering her skills would be invaluable in unknown territory. The total roster would be seven people, counting yourself. You were going to be inserted at a nearby town via Pequod, who'd do his best to get you as close to the coastal town as possible.

But before you could leave, you needed a quick headcount to make sure everyone was here.

"Brass Bear." The man in question was your Combat Engineer, a tall, black haired man with a bushy beard and a small , curved scar next to his left eye. He nodded and you marked that he was here, you vaguely remember socking him in the face back in Afghanistan. He was a Soviet if you recall correctly, either a Captain or a common grunt with a passion for mechanics.

Moving on, you called for your Shock Trooper. "Crimson Hawk, report." Hawk saluted, holding an Sz.-336 same as you. He looked to be in his early-30's, with ragged and wild red hair. A lot of facial scars from knives, and a strangely intimidating half-Glasgow Grin on the left side of his face.

The third member of your crew was a Sniper called 'Silver Fox'. Youngest of the bunch at 22, but her skills with a rifle were decent. "Silver Fox, report...Silver Fox?" Looking around the line up, you noticed that there was a head missing. "Where the hell is Silver Fox?" You heard a slight clanking coming from behind you, showing a gray haired woman with blue eyes and a Renov in her hands. Her hair was styled in a light bob, and she was wearing a black beanie over it.

"Sorry sir! Doc Emmerich needed to give the leg a once over!" Looking down, you noticed a steel colored robotic prosthetic just below her right knee. Silver Fox immediately saluted you, right before getting on the helicopter.

Marking her as present, you moved on to one of your riflemen. "Barking Toad." Toad was a one-eyed brunette woman, carrying an AM MSR-4 in her hands. Her remaining eye was a dark hazel, and she never really elaborated on the incident. Some mission accident involving two frag grenades, a roll of duct tape, and two trees.

You don't know how those items culminate in losing a left eye, and you don't want to ask.

"Blackbird!" Blackbird was just like his namesake, being black haired and kind of thin. He was the unofficial leader of Mother Base's birdwatching club, so far, there weren't many birds off the coast of Seychelles besides Seagulls.

There wasn't much use calling for Quiet, since she was already in the Chopper with Pequod.

With everyone here, it was time to figure out where the hell Mother Base ended up. Getting in the Helicopter, you shut the door and waited for Pequod to find a good place to land.

"Boss, found a beach to land on. Large, open, few wrecked boats for medium cover." Acknowledging the words, Pequod landed the chopper on the beach. It was beautiful in the afternoon light, with shining sand and a blue ocean. The beach gave way to a forest, which as the team pushed on, gave way to more forest.

This forest seemed to be Blackbird's dream, as he was taking a few moments to stop and stare at the flowers or birds. But dragging him along, the team pushed on until they found a dirt road that cut through the forest.

There was a 50/50 chance that either way would lead to a town, so you went left.

Turns out your hunch was right, as you saw the outline of a town in the distance. There was a sign above the road leading into it, saying 'Welcome to Greenfield' It looked like a town from the 1940's, maybe even the 50's if you stretched it. But something wasn't right, you noticed that there weren't any civilians around.

In fact, the only signs of life you were seeing was red armored soldiers marching about the perimeter.

What to do?

...

Command Points Available: 8
Mission Briefing: As you were scouting, you came across a town called Greenfield. There doesn't seem to be any sign of civilian life beyond abandoned cars and shops, after Quiet and Silver Fox did some recon, they managed to spot eight soldiers, two officers (judging by their darker uniforms), and what looks to be an elite going by their purple and gold armor.

[x] Plan Clean Start

Pretty much the plan I'd have made. Start off quiet, see what Ocelot knows, and LOOT SHIT :D
 
Alright then, Here's my entry.

NOTE: This is going with the assumption that Oracle's using Konami's veterancy system.


Codename: Destructive Osprey
Name: Colin Michelson
Age: 36
Nationality: American
Race: Caucasian


Unit: Close Air support, Preferably Helicopter, Aircraft Engineer
Rating: Operator
Notable Equipment: Pristine condition 1911 Operator, Picture of Father
Strong vs: Fixed wing Airplane engine problems, Throwing Spanners into the works, Sabotage, Eavesdropping on Gossip
Weak vs: Books, Improper Ordinance safety

Bio:

As a young child, Colin had been enthralled with his Father's stories of the Army Air Force during the Second World War; blazing around in a P-51 mustang and dominating Luftwaffe fighters. It was so much of an influence on him that he decided to not only go into the military despite numerous protestations of his mother. Quickly passing his trials with flying colors, Colin was certified for piloting Helicopters, both transport and close air support. Merely 3 months after his first air patrol, he was sent to the Vietnam war.

He quickly learned a very important lesson: between war and hell, war is worse. He heard and saw numerous atrocities, some of them propagated by the Vietcong, but mostly from his own American brothers in arms. Colin soon began to grow disgusted with the war and decided to muster out after the end of the war. War's end would come sooner than he thought, however, when his helicopter was sabotaged by Viet Cong infiltrators, with the Helicopter blowing up just before he could get in, which left the entirety of the nerves in his right leg deadened. After he recovered, he was given a choice: leave or become a flight instructor. Colin decided to leave.

After nearly half a year of drifting from job to job, he was approached by a man who called himself Morpho. Apparently, he wanted skilled pilots who would be fine with guerrilla operations. Colin couldn't sign up faster and immediately was put to work. He quickly rose through the ranks, gaining both prestige and organization-wide acknowledgement as being the 'go-to' guy for jobs. However, when the base was attacked by the faux-inspection Colin was transporting some supplies to Mother Base. As he was approaching the base, he had noticed the fires, but had also managed to hear the turbines of jet engines over the sound of his chopper rotors. Quickly turning around, he left Mother Base with enemy jets on his tail. He was just barely able to get away from the jets, making an emergency landing in the Caribbean.

He quickly fled into mainland Latin America and found a small time job as a news helicopter pilot. During one of his breaks, he overheard that there had been sightings of 'a large metallic giant' over in Africa. This caused Colin to be suspicious about it, due to the proliferation of the Walker Gears that were being used in Africa. Colin quit his job and pooled his cash for a ticket to Port Victoria. There, he quickly heard about a new mercenary company called Diamond Dogs and applied as a pilot. What surprised Colin the most was when the leader of the Intelligence division, Revolver Ocelot, came to interview him and offered a job. Colin promptly accepted.

Traits:

Death before drunkenness: No matter bad (or good) it gets for Colin, he will not drink alcoholic beverages. Call it prudish, but after seeing what some proud Veterans (including his Father) became after having too much to drink he declared to himself to never be like that.

Bibliophile: Colin loves books. If he finds out about a new book, he will do whatever it takes to get it.

Partial Crippling: No matter what Colin has done, he will never have 100% mobility due to his leg. He has gone through extensive training to make this malus to his mobility negligible, but he cannot fix it completely.

An Ear for danger: Colin has much sharper hearing than most people, allowing him to perceive audio cues far softer than what would normally be required.
 
Gallian Expedition - Clean Start
"Everyone, go quiet, incapacitate targets then fulton them back to base." You were quick to order, but not before trying to radio Ocelot about the situation. There was an unspoken order to Fulton everything of value, vehicles, supply crates, animals, definitely enemy soldiers for Mother Base.

"Bo Boss? Comm Spotty, we're making Tower." Waiting for the comms to clear up, you heard the iDroid spark to life from your little perch beyond the town's fence while the others went around scouting. "Sorry Boss, no satellites to bounce off of."

Asking for any intel, you were unsurprised by the sparse words. "From what Pequod spotted, there's a barn on the northern edge of town, lots of goats." That would probably come in handy, there were a lot of goats on Mother Base, and wolves, and a bear...And maybe a few other animals you thought were fluffy.

Side note, owl talons hurt.

"Anything you can tell me about the town itself?" A small map appeared above your iDroid, showing four large buildings, several houses, and a military truck parked at the northern edge of it. With the place mapped out, it was time to get back into the swing of things, knock some heads together.

The Myth & Legend - Enemy Detection Chance Decreased

Sneaking into the village, there were two soldiers resting near a small fire made from broken chair legs and fence posts. Taking a quick moment to scan both, you were surprised that they were wearing body armor. Tranquilizer Rounds would only work on arms and legs, going for chest or head shots would leave them somewhat surprized.

So you did the next best thing.

...

Big Boss Sneak Roll: 65 + 20 (The Myth & Legend Potential) = 85
Scout Detection Roll: 25 (Failed)
Scout Officer Detection Roll: 26 (Failed)


...

"Volk, you were a guard in X-0, what's one of theirs doing all the way in Gallia?" Pausing for a moment, you listened as the older soldier - Presumably named Volk, answered his subordinate's question.

"Either something of great value - A Valkyur Artifact...Or worse, a potential Valkyur." Valkyur sounded a lot like 'Valkyrie', and the tone used by Volk didn't give you any hopes that this 'X-0' was anything benevolent. Slowly moving forward, you heard a bit more. "I used to guard one of their facilities...No little girl should scream like that."

Getting behind them, you grabbed both men with one hand each Right before knocking both of them out by slamming their heads together. Both men were out cold, and you were quick to fulton them out of there.

"This is Big Boss, two fultoned, no alarms."

"This is Silver Fox and Barking Toad Just fultoned an officer."

"Brass Bear, civilians in the mechanics shop."

"Blackbird here, found some weird glowing blue...Crystals? Rocks? I can't tell. Sending them up."
Everyone else had called in, all except for Crimson Hawk. Trying to call him didn't yield anything, so it was time to check his position on the iDroid. He was near the farm towards the north, and it wasn't long before three soldiers were sent sky high.

"Hawk reporting, had to knock some heads together, found three civvies by the farm." There were still a few other soldiers, like that purple uniformed soldier and a few others. That purple uniformed soldier was somewhere around here, and if you were remembering things correctly, there'd be six left.

You were going to have a chat with that X-0 Soldier.

Luckily for you, he was alone at some place called 'Greenfield Historical Museum'. It was a small building, having some minor symbols of anchors and ships on the sign. Sneaking in behind the man, he was currently overlooking a strange spear of some sort.

Well, describing it as a spear would be an insult. It was actually a lance in the shape of a spiral, having a bluish silver hue and an ivory colored grip. The X-0 Soldier looked at it for a moment before moving to smash the glass with the stock of his rifle, but you interrupted him before he could do so.

Kicking out the back of his left knee, you forced him to the ground with your left arm while placing the barrel of your Sz.-336 under his chin. You were surprised by how...Young he looked, with dark gray hair and oddly cold blue eyes.

"Talk." Keeping the SMG steady, you were waiting for answers.

"About? You haven't even asked for anything." Mentally sighing, a few moments later your iDroid pinged and a message came through.

"Boss, this is Silver Fox Quiet and I just tranq'd the last few soldiers." That was useful, now, what to ask your prisoner?

...

[] Ask him...
-[] What's your objective?
-[] What's the deal with that spear?
-[] Are there more of you?
-[] What's the nearest military base?
-[] Who do you work for?

[] Leave the Interrogation to Ocelot (Fulton him back to base)

[] What to do about the civilians?
-[] Ask around, see what's been going on.
-[] Keep an eye on them
-[] Invite them to Mother Base

[] Write In...
