The North Isle of Sands was reguarly used by the Gnufasurian Armed Forces, as well as EHAV International, as a combat proving grounds. All throughout the tiny island mock cities had been set up, battle scenarios developed to test the mettle of the Terkomai Arms Corporation newest weapons.

Today, President Rufus Mew himself was here to personally supervise Terkomai's latest from the Biological Weapons R&D Division, the rather aptly named 'Dogs of War.'

It would be a series of three scenarios. First, five Dogs of War would be released into one city being guarded by a small group of ten soldiers. Their objectives will be to find and disable the soldiers as quickly as possible. The soldiers will not be aware of what they are facing, nor how many, and the Dogs of War will not be told what they face or how many, much like in a real combat situation...

Since this is a combat trial, the soldier's guns will use paint ball rounds, and the Dogs of War will have their Lethality Mode turned off.

Combat Trial 1

Booting Up... The command to come online came to the lead Dog of War. Slowly, he rose to all fours, the heavy darkness being lifted to show him what lay before him. To either sides of him, the rest of his Dog of War pack were booting up, rising from their stand by mode within the transport kennels.

Testing his weight beneath his limbs, the lead Dog moves out from the dark grey kennel it had been transported to here in, craning its head from one side to the other, the single 'eye' port taking in all the data it could.

Dog of War Alpha Unit. Objectives Uploaded.
Objective 1: Disable all Enemy Units Within the city.
Objective 2: Return to Transport Kennels.
Perameters: Time limit: 5 minutes.
Lethality Mode: Disabled.
Combat Protocols: Trial Protocols Enabled

Huffing, the lead Dog strode into the city, the other four quickly on his heels...


The city is your steorotypical ghetto. Lotsa seedy looking apartments and motels, a few run-down houses and abandoned office complexes, and plenty of liquor stores every few corners. Of course, it was all a farce, but the Gnufaurian Army Volunteers had to act like it was all real.

Corporal Jack Lorn's group has been tasked with enforcing the Martial Law declared for this area, inparticular this very street corner. Orders were to shoot violators on sight. Brass also seems to think that rebels may be in the area, so his unit will have to remain on their toes and extra alert.

Of course 'brass' would think that. We're here to test some sort of... Heh, I'm willing to bet it's some sort of armored thing for Terkomai. The Corporal mused darkly, leaning against a liquor store wall, an unlit cigarette in his mouth. Any minute now, I'll see some hulking Battle Mecha sauntering down the street, and I'm supposed to order my unit to shoot at it, then fall down when it points its barrels at us... He heaved a sigh.

The other nine soldiers had taken up defensive position all around and within the liquur store. All of them were riflemen, the workhorse unit of the Army. Each was armed with a single GN-48 Assualt Rifle*, an H&K USP .45 auto pistol, and a combat knife. Of course, the knives weren't going to be used in this trial, they were there mostly for show.

Craning his neck, Corporal Lorn takes a step forward, bringing a lighter form the pocket of BDU up to lite his cigarette. He heard the Dog of War before he saw it, a low growl as it leapt down from the top of the store, pouncing him and bringing him to the ground. Pain surge through his shoulders as the heavy thing bit into his shoulder, not drawing blood, but bringing enough pain to snap him out of his surprise and began to struggle. Then, he heard a voice over his helmet's built-in radio. "You're dead, soldier."

Frowning, he layed still, and the creature got off of him. He heard gunfire erupt from the liqour store, and the Dog of War leapt out of the way. More fire came from within, then was suddenly cut short...


The ambush had went perfectly as planned. While Alphas 2 and 3 took care of the soldiers outside, Alphas 4 and 5 managed to get into the store through an air vent and sneak attack the soldiers within, taking out all of them with no injuries. Had the Lead Dog of War for the Alpha unit been able to express emotions, it probably would have felt proud at his pack.

Objective 1 Completed. Move onto Objective 2.
Remaining Time: 1 minute, 13 seconds...

Baying, the lead Alpha unit trots back to the transport kennels where they had started the mission. Getting back was easier then finding the soldiers, and had a little less then fifteen seconds left on the countdown timer.

Combat Trial 1 Ends


The President shakes his head slowly. "Quite impressive."

"Indeed. Not only as these Dogs useful as Fast Attack units, they also make great stealth units, as the next trial will demostrate..." A two-Star Army General said to President Rufus.

Of course,the Army wanted these bad boys even more then Terkomai Arms Corp wanted to make them...


To be Continued...


((OOC2: *= the GN-48 Assualt Rifle is a Gnufasurian varient of the popular AK-47, and is the standard assault rifle for the Gnufasurian Army. It's made by Terkomai Arms Corporation, and is loosely based off the AK-47 designs.))
