[Private ISRP]
-Guy-
You are serving as an infantry private in J Regiment, tasked with guarding the village of Bandar, part of the tiny country that used to be known as Taxbourg, a former Vick puppet until the King decided to acquire new land.
The town is lacking in defences, and Taxbourgian partisans are commonplace. They say there is a force coming to retake the town, but you're unsure whether that's true or not.
You are at your quarters, on the second level of a trashed civilian home, shared with two other soldiers, Pvt. Chambers and Pvt. Stroyce.
Beneath your hammock is your weapons footlocker. |

| Rubbing his temples, Guy sat up in his hammock, looking around the room. |

It's not the most clean room. The ground is strewn with litter; empty scotch bottles, candy wrappers and pieces of broken furniture. Through a cracked window, orange stream of light shine into the dusty room. Chambers and Stroyce are both asleep. |

(Alright, then I probably don't care about these men.)
Getting out of his hammock, Guy reached down into his footlocker to retrieve his rifle; he had slept in his uniform. |

You retrieve your I-7 "Conqueror" bolt-action rifle. It holds six rounds in each clip. You have three spare rifle clips.
You also retrieve your VKN-"Archer" pistol, with has a magazine holding 12 rounds. You have one extra pistol magazine.
Along with your firearms, you find your small combat knife. |

(Any resemblances to real-world weapons?)
Setting the knife into a strapped-sheathe in his right boot, Guy grabbed his rifle and headed to the window. If those two guys were still sleeping, he'd take the first watch. |

Watch duty isn't necessarily required. Improvised watch towers surround the perimeter of the town.

| Slapping himself for the little burst of stupid, Guy stayed at the window to stare out at the horizon. |

The sun is rising. Quite beautiful. Below, on the cobblestone streets, soldiers have gathered in places to smoke pipes and chat. |

| Basking in the yellowy-pink rays that caressed his face, it was a wonder to Guy why the Empire hadn't decided to annex this little place of beauty in the first place. Why couldn't the partisans in the area just surrender? Life under the King and Queen weren't so bad--he should know, he was a law-abiding citizen who joined their bloody armies! |

As you stand in the morning sunlight, you hear stirring behind you. Probably one of the soldiers is getting up from bed. |

Chambers has gotten up. He goes over and dresses into his uniform and retrieves his sub-machine gun from his footlocker. He doesn't take much notice of you. |

(I'll just name the guy here, if you don't mind.)
"Morning, Tom!" Guy replied in a moderately low tone, trying not to wake up Stroyce. |

"'Ello, Guy." Chambers says as he slings his gun over his back by the leather strap. |

| "Status is the same. Partisans are still out croakin' in the fields somewhere, stavin' their arses off and all." Guy said dryly, turning back to the scenic view outside. |

"Thought so. But they'll be the least of our worries once the whole Vichtstein army ploughs through here." He tells you. |

"And when they do, we'll hopefully be ready." Chambers says.
Stroyce groans and turns over in his sleep. |

He is awaken, startled. He falls out of his hammock and onto the floor with a thud "Morning..." He mumbles. |
