Off The Tracks anon notes

 

[Welcome to the LASS system please roll once.]

[With the LASS system max rolls increases your stats]

[Sometimes your options will not be available for the task]

Luck: [dice+1d7]

Autism: [dice+1d13]

Strength: [dice+1d11]

Skill: [dice+1d11]

Alright, I'm going to explain the LASS system better.

You select what dice you want to roll, if you beat my roll then the action will be a success.

Don't roll unless prompted, unless it's a saving throw.

Saving throws are when the shit hits the fan and it'll be your last attempt to change the outcome. Saving throws are accepted at the QM's decision.

Sometimes tasks require a certain roll, so some dice options might be unavailable for the task.

If you want to see the LASS system in practice read Starry Eyes CYOA.

 

Personal goals:

 

Personal Inventory:

 

 

Equestria Army Mechanical Division Reserves members: Anonymous, Amity, Flash Point, Grease Can, Flicker Switch, Long Ranger, Damsel Distress, Shady Days

 

Potential group names: Desert Rejects, Mavericks, Regulators

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

General Base Inventory:

 

 

Barracks Tent:

 

 

 

Mess Tent:

-Carton of long-life UHT milk.

-Bottle of Tomato Ketchup.

-Pack of Vegetable Suet.

-Pack of six eggs. (less after making pancakes?)

-Tin of Sweet Corn.

-Six pack of Kirin Beer, with one missing.

-An IOU note to Amity.

-A single unpackaged hay tendie. (to be discected for study)

-A single Black Skull Chilipepper.

 

cooking idea: discover dark secrets to hay based foods. Grease thinks hayfires and hay burgers are mashed veg that's been fried.

Grocery ideas: UHT milk is stupid cheap. you can buy a ton of those from any dollar store.

 

Outhouse:

 

 

Oasis:

Anon: Hmm, there’s some plant life in this oasis, so it’s not salty. And the diesel level isn’t high enough to kill them off either. Once we pull the tank out, we can likely filter this into an acceptable gray water. | >FP: "Luckily, it was nearly out of fuel when it went in..."

 

 

Armaments:

shells and ammo are stored in the tanks, some are scattered around, guns are stored in mess tent under lock and key

Grease: Oh, Zissy will take a while, but the engine starts at least.

 

 

Nickers A4E12: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers-Carden-Loyd_light_amphibious_tank

 

Oasis tank: >FP: "This tank is a little weighty, so well probably need two tanks to pull this thing out."

 

Tank ideas:

install fans or AC units to prevent heat stroke

 

remove guns from dead tanks to be repaired and repurposed

 

Anon: Statistically, tank crews don't die all that often, but ultimately it's still up to chance. Plus, according to some of the memoirs, there was a known problem with T-34, something about that the radist doesn't have time to leave the burning tank. Gonna research it further when I'll have the time.

 

 

 

Anon: Whatcha got? | >Salesy: "Everything. If we don't have it here we can order it in."

 

Items on order:

ammonia

comics

off grid survival book

plumbing book

fundamental mechanics book

fundamental electrical workbook

martial arts books

The Art of War

 

Items FP went back to put in:

hoof crank pump set up, digging tool, ham radio, clock, alarm clock, watch, stop watch, scrap metal (future targeting range), binoculars, showers, paint and rust removal stuff, gun cleaning kit (gun cleaning pad/mat, gun cleaning solvent, cleaning rod, bore brush, patch holders or cleaning jags, cotton cleaning patches, luster cloth), rope?

[Items will now arrive via supply deliveries over the next few days]

 

 

 

 

Goals:

Begin a more rigorous training session so that we are adequately prepared for any threats that come our way

- Figure out how to get that tank out of the oasis

 

 

 

Daily Reserves Schedule (based off of US army basic training)

 

7am or when FP wakes up, whichever is first: Wake up to perform personal morning tasks and conduct hygiene. The earlier the better before it becomes blistering how. (maybe a small light snack because cute poners)

 

7:30am: Physical Training (PT). Do lots of calisthenics and running. Ponies can't do push-up (pegasi can do wing ups though), squats (unless using weights), or jumping jacks (how would they even?). Running will be straight forward. Do it Mulan style and have everyone carry two buckets full of sand and start doing laps until reaching the Oasis (quick water break lmao leading a horse to water). If the buckets we have have seals in them, replace sand with water and carry it all back to camp. take a light break before going into calisthenics (EARTH PONY STRENTH! throwing rocks, doing squats with scrap metal, rocks, or buckets full of sand on your back.

That, or doing a shit ton of manual labor to dig trenches, fox holes, build things, etc.

 

8:30am: breakfast

 

9am: training. learn how to disassemble, reassemble, clean, care, and love your gun. Give your favorite gun a name. Ask the girls if they had any weapon cleaning kits. Would FP and Grease Can know?

 

10am: training. proper weapon handling. how to check weapons to see they're loaded, how to safely eject round out of chamber, gun etiquette, don't look down the barrel, don't point gun at people carelessly unless you plan to shoot to kill, keep it pointed at the ground, check the weapon's safety, learn different ways to charge the charging handle of rifles. How to shoulder rifles and hold pistols.

 

11am: training. proper shooting techniques and shooting at targets. Breathing exercises

 

12pm: Lunch yay!

 

1pm: training. practice tank operating with crew.

 

2pm: training. CQC TRAINING! (I don't know how we're gonna do this. It's canon in Friendship is magic that Rainbow Dash knows karate, but beyond that and bucking things I don't know how we can translate human martial arts into the pony format. Maybe we can try adapting krav maga or at least it's fundamental concepts.)

 

3-5pm: everyone gotta help Anon unfuck this base of operations.

 

5pm: DINNER YAY!

 

5pm-until it gets too dark or cold: continue the unfuckening of the base

 

8pm:personal time

 

9:pm: lights out.

 

Given that we lack a clock to our current know how -unless the girls have been holding out on us- we'll have to eyeball the time and use the position of the sun to determine when to start and finish our lessons. Also to take into consideration, due to our very small numbers, we may not need so much time for certain lessons, and could in fact cut the time in half if need be.
