You wake up from a well deserved rest to find out the state of the OP an hour in. RO is refusing to send down supplies stating that: "They already have all the supplies they need in their preprooms." As well, all four SLs are either KIA, MIA, or too critically injured to fight at the moment, and the LZ1 FOB is being hammered heavily. Even worse, a mutiny lead by the CL is brewing due to certain corporate demands not being met. Worst of all, your favourite MRE is out of stock. How do you proceed?
You have set briefing for 12:20. What do you do in that time, and do you give any orders to any departments?
I give a command report to the marines saying I'm up. The marines should know. I then ask command radio for all command staff. If there is a XO, I ask him to go down and talk to the RO, my orders will be "Get metal and plasteel and mines and spec ammo and sentrys out the door, you may demote the RO if he refuses to carry out the order. I want crates moved on the shuttle if no SL has a beacon out. With the RO moving sup plus I get the PO and CT's to bring down supplys. When the XO is doing that, I'll be listening on squad coms and giving out orders. The squads will all move to LZ 1 to await massive supply drops. With supplys moving and men waiting on sup plus to push I request a MP and we go down to talk to the CL. I'll see what the demands are, RP a bit and if I can meet them. If not then I make counter offers and if that doesn't work arrest the CL. With everything swinging around I hope the round turns in our favour. And my MRE doesn't matter, I like the protein bars anyway.
For breif, I talk on command rado in order to see what command I have. Talk to supply and see who we have. See of we have SL's. If we have bridge officers get them to get a squad. Get RO to talk to the bridge officers. Write up my speech on a peice of paper. Make sure to copy it off and give one to the CL. Do breif. Get supplys moving and when we see aliens make sure to entrench the marines with metal and plasteel. Also see if we have MP's and assign guards if need be.
