To answer Oz's sort of question literally, it wasn't a croot who made the dispatch message, it was just done to entertain me and my friend :3

New Log Opened:  Log 01

<::|| *A unit standing at about 5' 7" with an average build appears on screen. He wears a new and clean uniform with a stun baton on his belt, along with several small pouches. On his right arm is a "S1-RCT" armband, and on his left is a sheathed K-BAR Utility knife. He clears his voice then begins to speak.*

"Hello, this is Unit  Two-twenty-eight here with my first log since the big training system and rank reset. A decent amount has happened over the past few months. i am aware that my logs lessened as I was promoted to Oh-four in NOVA and became busier. Unfortunately though, I have demoted to Recruit."

*The unit sighs, then turns around to look at a tall unit in an Officers uniform as he walks by.*

"Oh-fifty, sir. Will you be available for training any time soon?"

*The tell unit turns his head to look at 228 and nods, responding, "In a cycle." then continues on his way down the stairs leading from the breakroom. The unit then turns back around to look at the camera.*

"I can't believe I'm stuck with all this 'croot bullshit again. Well, I'm going to log off now so I can get ready for training. Unit 228 out."

*The unit extends his index finger and presses a bright green button, and the camera goes dark.*||::>

<::|| *A unit appears on screen wearing a standard uniform and face mask. He has a fairly average build and on his right arm is an NOVA-04 amrband. On his left arm is a sheathed K-BAR knife and he has multiple bags as well as a SCIP 9mm, datapad, and stun baton on his belt.* Uh, well it's 228 again. It's been a long time since the last time I've made a log but in my defense I've been busy. I've had a lot of training going on and as you can tell from my armband I've not only left APEX and joined NOVA but I've also been promoted. I think I've been getting used to beating citizens. I don't really hesistate anymore although it hasn't quite made me happy yet. I haven't shotten anyone yet, although I have been at my amputations, and I'm not looking forward to it at all. Recently I've performed a few medical treatments on some citizens, one of them unfortunately being a rape victim. Here let me show you some of the things in my bag. *The unit reaches down to his belt and unhooks a small satchel. He unzips it and holds it up t the camera, showing many small plastic baggies, orange pill bottles, and a few odd vials of a green fluid.* There's a whole more in the medical cabinet. Anyways I definately feel I'm in NOVA to stay. I enjoy helping people and the other units are pretty cool. Well I have duties to attend to so, Unit Two-two-eight out. *He presses a flashing button on the console and it goes dark.* ||::>

<::|| *A unit appears on screen wearing a plain white face mask and an average uniform with what seems to be a blood stain on his lower left sleeve. On his left arm is a blue UNIFORM-RCT armband and on his right is a sheathed Combat knife.* This is 228 here with my fourth entry. I know I haven't made any logs lately but I've been busy. I've been patrolling whenever I get the chance and I'm getting a lot of experience...and...well I've seen and done a lot of things I'm not so sure I like. I think I've beaten fifteen or sixteen people now, and I saw my first *He looks down at his sleeve, regarding the blood stain.*...suicide. 155 called them "Jumpers", said they did it for attention. I wasn't sure to believe him or think him heartless. On another note though I'm almost done my training and I haven't received a single Black Mark yet. Things are going over all pretty well I suppose. Tell you what...I'll make my next log when I get promoted and choose my division! Speaking of which..I don't even know what division I'm going into. I would pick APEX but there's so many of them. I've never been very good with medicine and I'm no mechanic, so NOVA and GRID are out. I know nearly nothing about ZEALOT so I have no reason to join them. I'm probably going to end up stuck in UNIFORM all over again training other recruits. *The unit sighs, his vocoder releasing what sounds similar to a raspy whistle.* Well like I said I'll make another log after graduation. *He looks down and presses a button, ending the log.*||::>

<::|| *A unit appears on screen wearing a brand new facemask, a stun baton on belt, and he has a fairly average build. On his left arm is a blue UNIFORM-RCT armband and on his right is a sheathed Combat knife. After a moment he taps the top of the small camera* Uhhh, is this thing working? Um well this is Unit 228 speaking, uhhh. Well I'm not quite sure if there's a specific way this is supposed to be done or not but here i goes. *He stops for a moment to glance at a larger officer in a green and black uniform go down the stairs, then turns and clears his throat once more* Well uhh I've finally gotten into CCA. Pretty exicting at first although this break room is kind of boring...I did get to do one of my lessons so that's a thumbs up. Ermmm...well there's not a whole lot I have to say really...I should probably be studying Contraband soo...I geuss I'm signing off. *The unit looks down and presses a button and the screen goes black* ||::>

I was able to get in two trainings today and I'm allowed to attach to other officers. I also...beat my first citizen today. He passed out after the first hit...kind of pathetic. Anyways I'm not entirely positive when I'll be going outside again so I geuss I should probably sign off soon. I'll most like make another log tomorrow. 228 out. *The officer looks down and presses a small button and the screen goes black.* ||::>

Adam Henmon's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Caramel Racoon

IC Character Name: Adam Henmon

1) Please write a minimum of 3 paragraphs OOC'ly detailing why your character wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority and what lead your character to do so.
My character worked as a General Store owner for the vast majority of his life. He had intended to go into Law Enforcement once out of College but had decided to begin his career doing what he had always done: Working in a store. Envying his Father and Brother his whole life took its toll. My character soon began to imagine what it would be like to become an officer. So he decided to go onto something to help slightly fill the void. He worked as a Bodyguard for several years seeing he was well trained with a weapon by his father. The feeling of purpose knowing he was protecting lives reminds him of how he feels Civil Protection must be like. Over time he began to protect more and more important people, giving him the sense of progression through ranks.

His life seems empty now without that feeling of purpose. He misses the feeling of a snug Kevlar vest and a holstered taser at his side, and he stares at Civil Protection Officers with envy every time they pass by. He wonders what it would be like to have a job similar to his old one. He hopes that by becoming an Officer it'll fill that void in his life. One of the things that fueled him to want to become an officer is the day he had a lengthy conversation with one. He asked the officer what it was like the day he was accepted and he responded, “Probably one of the only exciting things that have happened to me in a long time. I'm glad I'm one of them now because it makes me feel powerful.” That gives him an even larger urge to become one.

When he received his Business Permit he hoped it would make life interesting but it made things seem worse. He sits behind the counter everyday bored, waiting for customers to come around. Over time the boredom becomes so bad that beating people with Stun Batons started to seem appealing. He wonders everyday what it'd be like to enter the Nexus out of free will. When he was brought inside to meet a City Administrator, the doctor encouraged him to join the Combine Civil Authority. With someone of authority pushing him to do so he felt it was for the best and became eager to do so. Over time his urge becomes worse and worse with the Officers making contact with him regularly. The idea has almost become an addiction for him and it's starting to become unbearable. He'll do almost anything to become an officer.


2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Adam is a Trustworthy, Loyal man who can be very patriotic and sometimes even Nationalistic. He's Intelligent, Kind, and Caring towards people close to him. He's very Respectful and follows any orders given to him by superiors. He is a quick learner and tends to research interesting topics. All of this put aside he is a little distant from strangers and even people he knows.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
For me I expect Combine Civil Authority to be quite entertaining. I've wanted to be a part of it since I first joined the server and I see them walking around the streets and wonder what it must be like to know you have power over practically everyone else around you. I am a little worried about there being poor role play with citizens because of minges but I'm willing to look past all of that. The time that I entered the Nexus I found it quite neat, organized and overall kind of cool. I believe I'll enjoy roleplaying as an Officer more then as some boring old shop owner and I look forward to having that feeling of power over the people around me. I think that it'll be fun and maybe even a little exciting. I've always wanted to join some form of Law Enforcement and I think this will give me something like what I'm looking for.

I think that this will give my character that sense of meaning again once he's joined. I feel that he'll enjoy his new line of work and that he'll take it very seriously as well as I believe that he'll progress through ranks quickly because he'll follow all orders he'll receive as soon as he receives them. I think he'll enjoy Combine Civil Authority very much as it'll seem like he's doing what he's comfortable doing. I do believe he'll be disoriented at first because he's been running a general store for a while and it'll take a bit of time getting used to it again. He may or may not enjoy being around some of the other Officers and will probably try to stay independent as best he can without making it seem like he's doing anything suspicious. Overall I believe Adam will strongly enjoy becoming a Civil Protection Officer.


4) Please provide a detailed back-story from an out-of-character perspective on your applying character. This section must be detailed and consist of a minimum of 300 words.
As a child Adam had always been very happy and very playful. He had two older brothers and Uncle who lived with them. He was very close to the younger of his two older siblings, Nathan. He looked up to him as saw him as his role model. He would always follow him around, jumping on him, begging for piggy back rides and in general just being a lively little child. His mother worked as a secretary for a large business called “Stellin Corporations” and his father was a Police Officer. His oldest brother, Michael, avoided his younger brother but didn't nessicarily dislike them. He was the quieter type and preferred to stay in his room the majority of his time. Adam grew up with a good education and was on his way to a fairly good life. When he turned twelve he was in his bedroom doing homework when he received a phone call from his father. He told him that his mother and Nathan had just been in a car accident. Adam's Uncle Joe, his mother's brother, took him to the hospital. Unfortunately when they arrived it was too late. Nathan and his mother were dead.

By the time Adam was a teenager he was still going through a long stage of depression from his mother and brother's deaths. He distanced himself from the rest of the family and slowly began to distance himself from his closest friends. When he turned fifteen his older brother Michael was nineteen and joined the Police Forced with his father. With the majority of his family out of the house and Uncle being a constant drunk he began to try and make some friends. With most of his old connections lost due to his own sorrow he looked to neighbors and people from nearby towns for company. Although he made some friends he didn't find it very easy to make many and felt that what he had was enough. Time passed on and when he turned seventeen another tragedy occurred. Adam's Uncle had been at a bar one day and gotten into a fight with another man. They were both drunk and the man Joe attacked drew a gun on him and shot him several times in the chest. At his funeral Adam found himself rather calm. He realized that he didn't know his uncle very well and never really loved him. He moved on from this and graduated high school with decent grades.

As a now young adult, Adam attended Rowan University in South Jersey for six years before graduating. Throughout college he pondered what job he would take on after he graduated but came up with nothing. One day his brother Michael visited him during his last year in college to tell him that he was going to join the military. Adam wasn't at all shocked by this and congratulated his brother on being brave enough to make this his goal. It was later that same day that he decided he wanted to follow his father's and brother's paths and join Law Enforcement. However after he graduated from college he decided that he wasn’t ready to join the Police Force. So after College he decided to get a loan from the bank and opened his own store. He thought for days what to have it called and decided on “Henmon’s General Goods”. As time passed while he worked in his store he slowly became envious of his father. He wanted to join Law Enforcement but wasn’t sure he was ready. He had been trained to use a taser as a child by his father but wasn’t sure about the responsibility. Over time however he passed manager ship over to a trusted employee but still kept ownership of the store. He bought a taser not long after and put an ad in the phone book for his new Body Guard career. Over time he slowly began to get calls and as his popularity grew he began to protect more important people. During the time while he was working as a Body Guard the Combine had invaded the planet, taking over in the seven hours and had begun to move people to new locations. He, as well as others, was placed in City 16 not too long after the attack.  Over time however he was eventually moved to City 45. He now resides here, hoping to join Combine Civil Authority.

I wanted to make corrections to my charcters past career as a Body Gaurd and overall knowledge. Any stated usage of firearms  is being replaced with tasers as well as Adam's training as a child. Instead of being trained to fire a gun his father taught him to protect himself with a taser if need be. Thank you.

Adam Henmon's Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Caramel Racoon

IC Character Name: Adam Henmon

1) Please write a minimum of 3 paragraphs OOC'ly detailing why your character wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority and what lead your character to do so.
     My character worked in Law Enforcement long before the Invasion of the Combine.  He had enjoyed his job very much as well as took it very seriously. During his time working as a Police Officer he received several commendations as well as progressed through ranks quickly. He planned on working in Law Enforcement until he retired and was strongly disappointed after the invasion had occurred and he had lost his job as well as his home. He had been skilled with several weapons as well as tactically intelligent. He had always loved the feeling of punishing those who disobeyed and feels he'd get the same satisfaction out of Civil Protection.

     His life seems empty now without that feeling of purpose. He misses the feeling of a snug uniform and a holstered weapon at his side, and he stares at Civil Protection Officers with envy every time they pass by. He wonders what it would be like to have a job similar to his old one. He hopes that by becoming an Officer it'll fill that void in his life.

Once he graduated from training he was on highway patrol for 3 years before an incident occurred. He was chasing a man who had performed a hit and run and ditched his car about a mile from the where he hit the woman. Adam saw the man running and immediately left his vehicle to pursue him. On the way after the man he was forced to cross through a backyard was attacked by the dog they left out there at night. When the dog lunged at him he managed to throw it aside, however it unfortunately hit a bird bath and broke several ribs. Later after they caught the man the owner of the dog pressed charges for his pets wounding. The DA suspended his badge for 60 days because of the law suit and he was forced to stay in his apartment looking for a new temporary job. During the time of his suspension was when the Combine had invaded the planet, taking over in the seven hours and had begun to move people to new locations. He, as well as others, was placed in City 45 not too long after the attack. He now sits lives in City 45, hoping to join Combine Civil Authority.
