[. . . ] I approached the small table and he stared at me. "Hi, my name's Kathryn Ellis ­ I'm from the University - aren't you Jake Gaston?" He looked at me, then glanced to either side of where I was standing, as though he was checking if anyone else was with me. "Yeah?" "What do you want?" "You were an LANDS OF LORE commander back in the 2000s. I've seen some reports flicking through the old files.

The darts are fired by a gas cartridge in the ammo pod. Jet Harpoon This aqua-rifle is accurate and powerful, firing hollow steel harpoons from sealed packs of 10, each harpoon has its own gas reservoir. Gas Cannon The Heavyweight of the gas technology family, this cannon fires solid bolts, some with HE or phosphor tips. A favorite weapon amongst experienced aquanauts. Hydro-Jet Cannon Hydro-Jet cannons are a heavy infantry weapon system. The cannon fires magnesium-fuelled mini-torpedoes. Although powerful, the HydroJet Cannon is a clumsy and an unwieldy device. Torpedo Launcher A real heavyweight, this launcher fires three types of torpedo, each with its own propulsion unit. A devastating weapon, with only manual loading being its drawback. Ammunition types available include large or small high-explosive and phosphor-tipped torpedoes. 7/5 2039 These are being bought in quantities. JG 18 Magna-Blast Grenade This standard issue grenade has an accurate and sophisticated timer for precision control. Dye Grenade Dye grenades are dual role items, useful for providing cover in exposed situations. Functioning in both water and on land, the dye is ejected as a particle cloud, producing an octopus-like ink spray in water or dense airborne cloud on land. We lost a lot of good soldiers in the first few months of the war in this way. A favorite alien trick is to follow an LANDS OF LORE squad as they carry out a search, then to enter a `searched' area and wait for an unsuspecting rookie to happen by. The main problem that LANDS OF LORE has is that there are very few experienced alienfighters, and the squads are for the main part made up of rookies. On average, LANDS OF LORE will have one experienced officer for every five rookies. The formation of a squad is critical when advancing on, or searching, an alien site. Entering a hostile area in a bad formation could cost you your life or jeopardize the whole mission. All members of the squad must remain at well-spaced intervals; never let yourselves bunch together. If an alien has a motion detector or scanner, and becomes aware of a large squad near by, it is likely to launch a rocket or throw a grenade into the middle of your group. As always, when you come across one of these creatures. You'll never have the chance to make another! 21 BAD FORMATION GOOD FORMATION Squad spread out to prevent more than one injury from an explosion Circle shows area of grenade blast Alien grenade thrown to approximate position Top down view of Aquanaut When searching an alien-controlled area, be it a craft or a landing-site, move in groups of three or more. The best shot of the three should remain at the rear of the group. [. . . ] At the beginning of an Attack - Killers! While the ground troops are deploying or developing the attack, a small proportion of heavy weapons units must direct fire at the most important target. The remainder must stay in readiness to come into action without delay. As the Ground Troops advance More support is needed at this stage, so more units will be brought into action and open fire against that section that is opposing ground troop advance. During the Decisive Attack Every available Heavy Weapon must be brought to bear on the point against which the attack is being directed. [. . . ]
