a LasRifle seriously? I'll just pull out my heavy bolter

Yes, a LasRifle (although not the 40k variety, you nincompoop). Budget cuts have hit UPK rather hard over the last decade.

Laser-based weaponry has not been in particularly wide use since the Colony War on Terra Secondus, owing primarily to their subpar penetration against modern XiRite plate compared to other weapons. UPK used to issue phase blasters as standard, but they got phased out due to rising equipment costs. The heavy neutron rifles are generally only found within the ranks of defense teams on capital station these days, where the loss of firepower simply cannot be afforded.

Despite their shortcomings, the LasRifles are not all bad news. Being lasers, they're lightweight, their power requirements are modest, accurate up to extreme ranges, completely recoilless, and--above all else--are dirt cheap. Plus, they give a nasty surprise to any target attempting to dodge.

(I've been working on this spiel for months; finally have an excuse to use it!)

I assure you all, more is coming. There will be plots and twists, espionage and treason, war and death and all manner of poor behavior before the tale is complete.

The issue is time, I rarely have time to sit and write these days but, I am working on the next installment every chance I get.

Thanks for the support and patience.

*/me kicks a rock around mumbling*
"been here for almost 5 years, killed thousands of people won countless battles, toppled the mightiest of warriors and crashed economies" yet I'm never gonna make the history books... DAMN YOU PEOPLE WHO WRITE AWESOME RP STORIES!

If I wanted to read books I wouldn't play a video game

Spidey pumped his arms and legs furiously trying to maneuver to safety in the currently 0 g environment. He cursed loudly as he kicked off a wall to dodge a floating field of urine and feces. Kicking off the ceiling he grasped for the doors control pad and punched in the code to open the door. Nothing.

"I swear, if I ever find out who killed the gravity and las-welded the door to my bathroom I will topple them and crash their nations economy!"

YES!!!

that fits me so well

Part two is finished.

that # months later, #months later, etc thing was a good idea, newb :)

i likes teh story so far

Newb?! Heh, I've been here going on 5 years TBF. But, I'm glad you likes it so far.

awesome

wheres your email so we can dialouge about stuff

this is really good stuff, I've been waiting for more for a while. HURRY UP =P

More stuff.

Edited the third part quite a bit, added to it and such. It just felt a little rough, like maybe I was forcing it rather than letting it flow. I think its quite a bit better with the editing and additions.

Hope ya like it.

Very cool. Looking forward to more.

somehow, the words dad and peytros in one sentence seems so very very wrong:)

Looking forward to meeting the clone^^

More stuff.

Sorry if anyone was expecting to learn the clones identity this time, that will come later. If it seems at all like it jumps around, keep in mind there are several things going on in this story. I am trying to represent anyone who I reference fairly. If you feel you have been done an injustice in my portrayal of you... tough. However if ya let me know, I may be willing to work at it.

Whoops... forgot about this. For anyone who doesn't read bad Chinese. I thought the Chinese seemed appropriate for certain people. In some cases I may use other languages but I'm not sure yet. Anyways, sorry for getting to this late.
