Role

Your goal as the combat correspondent is report on anything that you deem interesting enough to grace the pages within the news. Your office is located just south of the telecommunications of the Almayer. You are primarily a roleplay role, so for the most part your words will be doing all the talking. Correspondents come in two types that can be changed in the preference menu.

Civilian Correspondents are part of the public media organizations, you aren't part of the marine force so you don't have to answer to command and they can deny you anything that isn't a right to any civilian. Military Correspondents are part of the Marines and thus respond to the Commanding Officer that is in charge.

What to Report on? Here's a general list of things you can report on, but remember that roleplay is the main idea with the Correspondent so get creative.

• Give general status reports about the operation in progress
• Make a scandalous headline about how marines act and behave.
• Ask marines, command, and survivors questions on their favorite type of pizza
• Record a discussion from the medical staff on how a marine overdosed themselves on coffee
• Take pictures of various other forms of life
