Rogue Trooper Q

[GordonR]

In Rogue, there was a Nort master sniper called Morgan, or Morgin, or something like that.  He was the guy with the black domer chem-helmet.

I'm too lazy to look through a large pile of tatty back-prgs, so can someone confirm the spelling of his name, please?

Ta.

[longmanshort]

Actually, you're wrong. His name was officially Major Snooty Snooty Bum Clouds IV and he had a pet starfish called Spikey Mikey.

It's true, don't listen to the rest of them, if they say anything different to me then they're lying, I have proof!

This guy?http://www.arthurwyatt.co.uk/images/rogue3.gif">

I agree with LMS.

I'm also a little perturbed that Gordon's mentioning Rogue again.

[Oddboy]

Trout - he's writing the computer game story.

'Marauders', Progs 282 to 289, The Best of 2000AD 55, if that helps anyone find it...

[Lobo Baggins]

Morgen.

[Art]

No, actually his name is "filth"...

"Morgen."

That's the bloke!  Much obliged.

[paulvonscott]

Yeah, Morgen

Bgamna:  Wha...?  But Helm detected no-one within sniping range!

Traitor:  Ordinary snipers, that is.

"One of the deadliest of the nort snipers!"

"He wears the black dome of a thousand sealburst marksman"

Any other questions, happy to help as I have the story here.  Titan book 4.

Cheers

Paul

p.s. notice the line about helm detecting things normally you wankers!

[paulvonscott]

Also, there are hints that Helm affected the mind of a soldier wearing him.

[GordonR]

Erm....I think we'll be leaving the biochips' possible paranormal powers out of the game.

Maybe an idea for the sequel, though...

[Lobo Baggins]

Morgen the Merciless Marauder Marksman, to give him his full name.

Helm ends up with Player the Peerless Pilot.

Clearly, GFD was experimenting with alliteration that day...

[paulvonscott]

As you wish!

Actually I wondered if this meant another series rather than the game, but as the game it is, fair enough.

I could tell you what happens to Morgen...

SPOILERS





He gets dropped out of a chopper into a puddle and we presume he's dead.

Glop!

Helm actually used his scanners all the time while Dave Gibbons was drawing him.

Still think that Rogue should have swapped him round with Gunner after he got his telekinetic powers.  Then, not only would he have a talking hat, he'd have a flying talking hat! That would be cool.
