Wow, good to seen another chapter when I came back here!
Great stuff, I also mourn the loss of Ivan, like, it's never good to lose a merc from aim, no matter who it is, but hey, that's the author's call.

And wol, sounds like Mike's not very talkative...wonder when he'll start using those "sophisticated phrases" of his...like the ones used in game...

BTW:Am I the only one to notice similarity between Mike and Cougar???Especially in the way of speech?

Thanx!

Well, I'm trying to show his character in progress... When he met Scully they both were less than 20 years old. Mike wasn't _that_ selfconfident then.. ) Although he already had enough selfconfidence to keep the distance between him and the others. And also - his behavior there is the key to his childhood (which I will describe later) and his childhood is the key to his character in a way... )) I am trying to describe why he is the way you could see him in the game Wink Well, I'd better go and write another chapter.... :shy:

Now another chapter is ready... I've told you - it will be a long story = )
BTW, this is my first attempt to write a story in english and as I'm going to study screenwriting in a year and a half, all your opinions are important to me.)

Back to the life.

Beat. Beating of his heart - abrupt and hollow it was. Unconscious with no thoughts and feelings yet he could hear that sound. Excluding it, a blank silence remained, but somehow he could concentrate his attention on the sound of his own heartbeat. Strangely enough, it brought back the sense of reality, as if he had re-emerged to life from a deep well of total unconsciousness. Mike had no idea of what had happened to him, where he was, why he was there or what state his body

Great chapter.And since you requested some feedback I'm ready to provide some:

1The getting back to life and the whole chapter was very detailed and reasonable.There was logic in most of the described actions and events.I was wondering how can Mike get back to life, and it was very well explained.
2Except for atropine(for nerve agents(gases) warfare), mercs usually carry some sort of morphine or a similar mixture to suppress the pain and keep fighting for 30-60 minutes.I was surprised Mike didn't have any, but perhaps he prefers to keep a healthy way of living, keeping his stats in consideration.
3When Scully was looking for him and found Mike's body missing, a standard procedure is holstering the weapon and investigating the area for possible hostiles.Besides, you never know if they won't mistake you for an enemy in CQC or fighting in buildings.But chances that you are aware of military tactics are unlikely so you still did very well...
4I noticed several repetitions such as "medical help" and "mustering the strength" but I may be fiddling criticism now...
5Using the namesake MD as the saving doctor was probably the best idea one could use...
6I only didn't like the part when Mike gets annoyed by MD, even that he's saving his life.It would probably be more in order to say something like "Keep silent, kid, unless you intend to finish me off prematurely."He also could have said, like: "If you really want to help me out, then it is advisable that you do no inform anyone about this", instead of threatening them especially when being in such a condition...
7Generally Mike's shown as arrogant person with no good attitude at all.Now this is all a personal opinion, so you can ignore it easily.But I believe that Mike's only arrogant towards the opposition and the enemies, and he considers his colleagues possible enemies, because he knows they may turn their backs someday.But with his real friends he can be quite friendly and helping, and can even be an example for the community.It'd be interesting to see him in various daily routine situations-shopping at the store, meeting the neighbours and all...


Anyway, I hope I wasn't too rough or harsh, I just felt like sharing my opinion on the subject, and don't get me wrong, not even with all I said up to this point, this story is getting greater with every new chapter...

2MikeThePro:

You certainly wasn't rough - it's very kind of you to write such a detailed opinion and truly very inspiring! = ))

You are right - I'll try to avoid repetitions in the future - didn't notice these, but thanks for pointing it out)

As for Scully and military tactics - his point was that someone of the citizens had removed the body... But possibly you are right - I'm not that good at tactics... Not sure about this moment.

And Mike's character... yes, I see him as an arrogant person with a bit strange behaivor sometimes... Which doesn't mean he couldn't be helping for his friends (as long as it does not interfer with his job though). By the way, other mercs hate this guy mostly and there should be some reasons for it, as I think.. But it's only my personal opinion too = ) I like him being like that) And, yes, Mike will be shown in his everyday life, but in slightly different way.)) I'll try to describe his personality and all the backgrounds and reasons for him being so with some more flashbacks...

Thanks again - your feedback makes my work worthwhile and helps me to develop my skills = )

Just to make a small note:others hate Mike because they can't be the best themselves, or envy his salary.After all he demands an adequate compensation to his efforts on the field...

And thanks for understanding.

Jagged the Movie can wait (and perhaps buy your script)

I first suspected Scully would load Mike in the jeep and drive him to Alma-hospital.
MD as a saviour was perfect: new guy, doesn't know Mikes face.

Gaaah JA2 Movie ? please no Uwe Boll ! please no !

I thought that Mike is beign hated only by experienced and "like-to-kill" mercs. For example some youn-guns are still taking him as legend and killing him isnt too comfortable for them(Lynx...)

Yeah, I thought it would be more interesting to put MD into the story... And as an explaination - it was to risky to take Mike to Alma - he was still dressed in Deidrana's army uniform = )

>>(and perhaps buy your script)

Embarrassed

2Smert:

I thought it depends more on their character, not on their experience... But you'll see more about the relations between Mike and other mercs then))

Er-r, don't know if anyone is still interested. :whoknows: But I've stumbled over my old fanfiction story a couple of days ago and it made me want to continue writing it. So here is another chapter.

The Dragon

The answering machine proceeded to the next message:
- This is Commander Spice from the AIM speaking. We would like to receive a disproof or a confirmation of the mercenary named Mike being shot to death three months ago on the Arulko ground. Please, contact us if you have any information.

That wasn't the first message from the AIM. They wanted to have the information first-hand, even though they obviously had quite a few witnesses. Mike shook his head

So it's been fifteen years (jeez)... I doubt anyone who read this story in 2007 is still interested in this thread, but I wouldn't mind to be pleasantly surprised big grin
I suppose, I missed it. I missed the JA characters and the other day I literally dreamt about them. So I dug up my old writing (and was horrified, as it happens) and realized - I still want to finish it (I guess, I am stubborn that way big grin ) So first of all, I decided to edit and to some extent rewrite it. If so happens that anyone at all has any desire to read it - here is the link to the first chapter (re-written):

Sorry, no dice. It needs an account to enter and i don't trust websites that ask for an account. Bear's Pit is an exception to the rule. Been playing JA2 since 1998, as do most of these people here, i know how they feel and i can trust them.

Nice little story, caught the feelings perfectly. Good thing that in the 1.13 mod of JA2, Mike can be hired if wounded enough but before losing consciousness. He's got very high stats on everything and is a great shot in-game. Maybe you want to use that part in the story if it continues. Other similar stories for other mercs would be nice too, something like highlights of their life.

Thank you!

Years ago I have put together a mod to hire Mike (straight from AIM, I have replaced one of the other mercs with him), I believe it was using converted sound files from the JA and JA Deadly Games - but I don't quite remember now. I still have the files though somewhere on my main PC.

Didn't they lower his stats in 1.13 mod?

I definitely hope to continue the story and plan to include more mercs into it, but Mike's my favorite so it has to rotate around him I guess big grin Mike's been my favorite character since the first JA and I was 8 back then big grin
