| A Happy new year from all at [[The Fortress]]! On Christmas Eve night we made the 3000th hit on our Wiki-site, which means we had double the hits of last month, and this was certaintly reflected in the busy department of recruitment.
| |
|
| |
| There are now <b>42 members</b> in The Fortress Files. 3 Combat Teams with 3 Commanders and 3 Lieutenants. 2 Assault Officers, 4 Battalion Rangers, 5 Conflict Troopers, 5 Deployment Squaddies and 4 General Enforcement Officers. 3 Shadow Team Members. +16 Additional.
| |
|
| |
| If you actually have bothered to add that lot up, you may notice that it's three out, and that's because the 3 Lieutenants are ranked AO (2) and BR respectively.
| |
|
| |
| Very impressive stats, I think you'll agree. Not only have we grown large in number, but also in experience. [[The Fortress]] is on it's way up in the City of [[Malton]] and there's no plans on stopping yet.
| |
|
| |
| Stay Vigilant!

| |
| [[The Fortress]] likes to acknowledge it's members from time to time, as they are the foundation of our [[group]].
| |
|
| |
| <font color=blue><b>Trong Tran</b><font color=black> was the first recruit signed up by The Mouth back in October 2005. Our hopes of signing a level 19 super-soldier were dashed when a newbie, level 1, asian [[cop]] turned up at the meeting point and started chatting inanely to [[zombie]]s! His 8 experience points seemed justified when an inexperienced mistake resulted in the new recruit's death just one week into his Fortress career! It was not a promising start for the young officer...
| |
|
| |
| But Trong Tran stuck to it, and [[The Fortress]] was about to find that it had unearthed a real gem. Promoted to Deployment Squadie in Mid-November for finally levelling up, the officer began to find his feet; scouting and reporting, building XP and surviving safely, but it was during [[#Operation: Mean Streets|Operation: Mean Streets]] that he excelled. Trong Tran revelled in his role and gleefully joined in the [[zombie]] massacre, sometimes playing live and online with hunting partners, until he shot up towards level 4. A promotion to Conflict Trooper followed and now the young man was looking like the real deal.
| |
|
| |
| As [[The Fortress]] expanded, Trong Tran was the first to offer his suggestion of Team A's official name. His suggestion of <b>Team Powflak</b> was certainly original and special, however not taken up - Team Anaconda was finally selected. In [[#Operation: Fallen Angel|Operation: Fallen Angel]] the officer continued to impress, showing qualities of teamwork, loyalty and reliability, along with a free-spirited good sense of fun and decency.
| |
|
| |
| On his own initiative, Trong Tran signed up Marissa Minnie to [[The Fortress]] - an action that we were especially impressed by - and his sparkling personality has gained him many friends at [[The Fortress]]. This is why Trong Tran has become the first trooper to be the focus of The Fortress Finest, and we congratulate him on his excellent career (so far!)
| |
|
| |
| And with this award, we are officially promoting Trong Tran to the next rank.
| |
|
| |
| Well done Battalion Ranger Trong Tran!

| |
| <u>INTRODUCTION</u>
| |
|
| |
| With the [[RRF]] gradually returning from [[Caiger Mall]] to [[Ridleybank]], [[The Fortress]] moved their entire force into the dangerous [[suburb]] to help out.
| |
|
| |
| <u>PART 1 - RECON</u>
| |
|
| |
| *Journal Note: Some parts of this file have been censored to protect the location of this ongoing operation.
| |
|
| |
| Primary objective - Hit 'n' run in <i>*a dangerous Malton suburb, <b>crawling with stiffs</b>*</i>
| |
|
| |
| Details - <i>Team Anaconda</i> are to make a reccy into <i>*an untamed terrible territory*</i> - this will be a Z hunt. Team members are expected to use the Fortress multiplex outpost as a base; using max AP to then enter <i>*aforementioned hazardous suburb*</i> and knock out as many Z's as possible before returning to the outpost to build up to max AP again for a second run.
| |
|
| |
| This will serve as a recon gathering mission too, so that we may find out exactly how strong the Ridleybank presence is - <i>DOH!</i>
| |
|
| |
| <u>PART 2 - REVIV</u>
| |
|
| |
| With extensive reports compiled on the state of [[Ridleybank]], [[The Fortress]] withdrew to [[Stanbury Village]] and helped out at the St.Maria's Reviv Clinic. Many operatives are adept with [[Necrotech]] equipment and helped to restore the harvested [[humans]] to their previous state of being. <i>Team Battlehawk</i> accompanied <i>Anaconda</i> in this second phase of Xmas [[#Operation: Santa Felt My Presents|Operation: Santa Felt My Presents]] or SFMP as it was becoming affectionately known.
| |
|
| |
| <u>PART 3 - RESIST</u>
| |
|
| |
| <i>Team Battlehawk</i> held the front line while <i>Anaconda</i> and <i>Shadow Wolf</i> secured the borders of [[Ridleybank]]. The settling process, as the unstoppable [[RRF]] returned to their former home, was assisted by [[The Fortress]] as many unsuspecting citizens were located, saved and educated.
| |
|
| |
| <u>CONCLUSION</u>
| |
|
| |
| With many lives saved, [[zombie]]s killed and order restored, [[The Fortress]] is safe in the knowledge that it has at least made some difference in [[Malton]].

| In times when operations and politics seem to be demanding their way to the forefront, [[The Fortress]] thinks it is wise to mention those brave and colourful souls that make our [[group]] so fun and fulfilling. One such person, <font color=blue><b>Deployment Squaddie Marissa Minnie</b><font color=black> left the game at the end of last month, much to my own sadness. It is <b>always hard</b> to lose a recruit, but especially so when it is one that was so lively and helpful. DS Minnie may have left the game but the time we had is something that we shall always cherish.
| |
|
| |
| Marrisa Minnie - We salute you. (*Sound of three shotgun salute*)
| |
|
| |
| Right - Now I'm off back to the Mall.

| With [[#Operation: Midnight Run|Operation: Midnight Run]] a success, <i>Team Battlehawk</i> headed a daring mission into the heart of [[Ridleybank]]. The Blomfield [[Police Department]], in [[RRF]] controlled [[Ridleybank]] was occupied for a gruelling 24 hours. The [[barricade]]s went down many times, players were hurt and our vigilance was thoroughly tested. But with [[Caiger Mall]] being enseiged by the majority of the [[RRF]] forces, the zombie offensive was not strong enough and the [[building]] was held firm. Other [[survivor]] [[groups]] were involved in the defiant defence of the PD, and <i>Team Anaconda</i> joined in just as their <b>will began to wilter</b>. [[The Fortress]] pulled out, rather prematurely some argued, and there was a sense of disillusionment and blame in the air. However, the results of Operation: Fallen Angel speak for themselves. <font color=green><b>Fortress casualties: None. Police Department: Held.</b><font color=black> And was it pure coincidence that the [[Caiger Mall]] seige - <i>the biggest landmark event in the game to date</i> - came to an end at exactly the time of Operation: Fallen Angel? Whether it was, or wasn't, the [[RRF]] hurried back to their "home town" from that moment.

| [[Ridleybank]] was the most notorious [[suburb]] in [[Malton]] at the time. It's reputation causing many to avoid the inhabitable district under fear of running into the human-hating [[RRF]]. Then on one night, two special Fortress operatives made a midnight run into the heart of the notorious town, and set up the [[mobile phone mast]]. With this <b>tough job</b> achieved, one of the operatives made perhaps the very first [[mobile phone]] call from [[Ridleybank]]. The operation lasted under five minutes, but the two operatives involved achieved a hell of a lot. Perhaps it altered the popular perception of [[Ridleybank]] that it was unhabitable. For one moment, [[Ridleybank]] was civilized.

| |
|

| With [[The Fortress]] numbers expanding quickly, its senior members were able to establish their influence in Operation: Mean Streets. The team travelled as far as [[Roftwood]] to assist in the removal of [[zombie]] threats, whilst barricading [[building]]s and healing wounded [[survivor]]s. This paved the way for a joint attack/reviv operation by a number of other [[:Category:Survivor Groups|survivor group]]s. Zombies fell, <b>men erected</b> and lives were saved. [[The Fortress]] done well!

| A plague of pestilence, disease and decay still looms over [[The Fortress]]. You feel the eyes of the unknown burning into your soul and a cold icey fear runs down your spine.

| As you begin to descend into a dimension of surreality you notice the infamous cat of doom playing with your tongue and you sneeze on the chalky dust of the love salmon. As your sanity wanes even more you realise that your fate has been sealed. Such pointless words are rare these days.

| It's been a strange couple of weeks for me. Somehow survived a pack of bloodthirsty zom's, and saw [[The Fortress]] come under a prolonged siege but we came through it all thanks to the leadership skills of The Ears, and of course all the Fortress' recruits. Operation: Raging Bull saw the end of the [[zombie]] invasion in one explosive weekend. It was an attack so strong, so relentless, that the <b>offending stiffies</b> made a run to the nearest [[mall]] for a new pair of pants and a bag of nappies for next time. Back in my home country, England, it was fireworks night, and we sure celebrated the end of their evil plans with a bang. At last some good news in the City of [[Malton]] - A triumph for humanity!

| Well I've been with [[The Fortress]] now a week, besides being lured in with the offer of a free tea (note:- Not included) I have found fortress life so far so good.
| |
|
| |
| I'm a [[Firefighter]] and enjoyed the usage I get outta my trusty [[Axe]], "Axey". On my way over to [[The Fortress]] I've cracked a few skulls and enjoyed the scenery. Life was unstructured, and slow, too often I'd be caught with my pants down especially when I got closer to [[The Fortress]]; and believe me you don't want to be ravaged with ya pants down (takes weeks to recover).
| |
|
| |
| So for a brief moment I was like The Eyes, a walking [[corpse]], but with it's trousers down. Thankfully I'd called in a favor and got The Mouth to give some <b>sweet revivication</b>. After a bit of groaning I got up, refreshed and ready to roll. Pulled up my pants and entered [[The Fortress]] where I now do general tasks as I build up my experience.
| |
|
| |
| You really do need to 'Stay Vigilant' here, especially if ya pants are down!

| |
| |}
| |
|
| |
| [[The Fortress]] had been on Status Red for five gruelling days - like many suburbs in [[Malton]] we were coming under heavy [[zombie]] onslaught - and on Halloween night it was worse than ever. The result of this onslaught was tragic.
| |
|
| |
| Despite frequent warnings to all our members to "Stay Vigilant", The Eyes miscalculated his IP usage while scouting and was swarmed by a vicious group of z's. The [[zombie]]s greedily pounced upon him and he was "turned". Somehow my brother, Jensonson, was present at the <b>demise of The Eyes</b>, but insists he saw nothing and was mysteriously unhurt. Speculation and gossip are rife within the ranks of the Fortress but my full trust and faith is with the Battalion Ranger.
| |
|
| |
| Jensonson was not able to update the journal this week - perhaps still traumatised by recent events - hence my entry to his journal, but rest assured that [[The Fortress]] is stronger than ever. The Eyes returned to us today but looks distant and sometimes stares very strangely at us when he thinks we're not looking. We do have our full faith in the Fortress scout, but can only pray that the rest of us stay clear of zombification.
