Diary of an Infantry
Chapter Two: May
May 1st
Woke up today with the mother of all hangovers. Just my luck. I was waiting for my general to fire me, until I realized I was my own general! However, Sinead and Micheal were given a severe talking to. Between migrane pills.
Adder launched a massive silo missile at us, today. Surprisingly, not many people were hurt. I think he is losing his touch. Serves him right, really.
Off to help Emporer Kanbei tomorrow. Wish me luck!
May 2nd
Turns out Sinead and Micheal are coming with my infantry squadren to help the Emporer. I'm so glad, it means I can obsess about Sinead some more, which is always a good bit of fun. However, as I left, I saw the Black Hole army closing in for the kill against Sensei. I had to take a shot at them, and with my trusty Machine Gun, I actually managed to kill a copter pilot headed to destroy our T-Copter. The pilot crashed into a Neotank, and the wreckage blocked the BH, so Senseit could pound them in with his indirects.
We arrived a few hours later, and were greeted by Kanbei. He wasn't in a good mood. Another CO, Flak, had started an attack on the Silos. From Flak's description, he sounds a bit like Max.
Micheal mused on another thing today. If Kanbei's units were stronger, and Sensei's Infantry were stronger, but the rest of his units weak, then would our abilities change.
It made my head hurt, so I put him in detention, peeling potatoes. He can be an annoying bastard sometimes.
Sinead didn't agree with me, but I couldn't bring myself to put her in detention. Mainly because I think then that Micheal and Sinead would get together. Which would really suck.
May 6th
Fired my first Silo system. My aim was much better than Adder's, and it obliterated a whole load of Black Hole's Units. It was just a bit of harmless fun, tis all!
An horrifying thought again. Kanbei told us all that his daughter, Sonja, had just defeated a CO called Lash. I was delighted until after the speech, when I overheard that Lash had referred to her troops as no more than pawns. This thought really scares me. What if all we are to Yellow Comet are...pawns? It's a horrifying thought.
If I was a Chess Piece, I'd want to be a Knight, because they look cool.
May 9th
Sinead took Flak's HQ, with myself and Micheal guarding her. I'm really proud. I taught her most things, and now she's capturing and killing with the best of them.
Micheal apologized for the big words he said, but did say it was a good idea. I had to agree with him. Ever since I've been in Kanbei's Army, I've felt more able and stronger. I'm still looking into the possibility of Infantry Powers.
May 10th
We had another party last night. Woke up with the Father of all Hangovers. I hope he doesn't get kids.
Micheal was in the worse for wear category as well, and Sinead just looked ill. Poor girl.
We're being moved to help Sonja in a battle against Adder's Fortress. It should be interesting, but I hope it's not too hard. My head can't take it.
May 11th
SO MANY BOMBERS!!!
We were surprise attacked at 8:30 by a Bomber Raid. Luckily we had an Anti Air to save the day and shoot the unlucky thing out of the sky. When it crash landed, it landed on an incoming B-Copter, which collided into a T-Copter, and the big mess collapsed onto the fortress. It was hardly scathed, but the Minicannons took a bit of a beating.
I was surprised that I could see further in FOW, but my shots kept going off in the wrong directions, or firing duffs. I think that I'm having a bit of Bad Luck...ah well.
May 15th
Got to drive a tank! Whee!!!
We were running short of Tank Drivers, so they asked me to drive one. I knew basic controls, and was surprised to learn that they had simplified it and made it easier. I managed to blow a few tanks, an Anti Air, some Recons and a Mini Cannon to pieces. I'm quite proud.
There are 5 Minicannons left.
May 17th
ARGH!!!
Had to make last minute jump from my tank as a Minicannon fired, obliterating it in a cloud of shrapnel. If I was a spectator, it would have been very pretty.
Sinead and Micheal picked me up. I might have a twisted ankle, they say. Bad luck still hasn't subsided. Bah.
May 18th
Limped over and kicked the last Minicannon to pieces (it was nearly falling over). Adder's forces retreated, and Micheal recovered a map identifying a Labratory making a new sort of Tank. I think they are Neotanks.
More partying tonight. Goddamn...my head can't take much more of this.
May 19th
Sinead looked stunning at the party, in her usual wear. Goddamn, I'm bordering on stalker-like. Maybe if I hold out till Christmas, I can get her under the mistletoe.
We're now being airlifted to the Labratory now. Son of a bitch, I might not make it through this war alive. If I don't, then I want a big parade down YC.
Sensei finally beat Adder back in his fight. Took him a month and a half. Very slow.
May 21st
Only arrived at the Lab today. We had to stay on ground as there was Anti-Air and Missiles around. But we're here now.
Kanbei is leading the assault on the Lab. My luck has returned, and I'm stronger again. It's really starting to freak me out, you know.
May 25th
Still kind of a stalemate with Adder. His army is massive, and we're kinda scared to fight. So I worked on my Theories some more with Micheal.
We discovered that it's some special device that the COs have that they receive on enrollment. When it charges, the CO presses a button for it to activate. It sends a trigger through all units giving them strength, or messes with a trigger through the enemies units in the case of Drake, Olaf, or the man called Hawke, and decreases their stats, among other things.
Fairly interesting stuff. I don't understand how it charges. It confuses the hell out of me.
May 28th
We made some ground over Adder today. We were told we only have 10 Days left. Kanbei built some bombers, which are owning every one of Adder's troops. Us three are among the group sent to capture the Lab.
May 31st
What a way to end the month!
I captured the Lab, meaning that we now have their Neotank plans. Very groovy, very fun.
Decided to read a book today, to celebrate the taking of the lab. Reading "Hawke's Guide to being the Life and Soul of the Party". I'll quote a bit when I'm a bit further on.
There's a whole series of these books. So I might invest in a couple more when the war ends.
See you next month, Diary!
PS: Sinead = WUB!!!
