HEY ZANE YOU'RE LOOKING PRETTY COOL. Seriously though, if the medibots can take it from here resume your pursuit. If the tech-leech has breeched your checkpoint then it's kind of your responsibility to keep that thing tracked.

...Call Gore, give him a hood description of the SIZE of the thing. He's the only one who's actually fought a TechLeech before, and he seemed to imply it relied on stealth, climbing through vents and such,and sending in it's thralls rather than direct combat. That was definitely not a sneaking-through-small-spaces creature.

i dont understand

even if it had amazing regenerative powers that was a almost suicide attack. if there were some forces left, hunting it down now can provide a strangely easy victory, even considering a nest filled with traps.

is it trying to abandon the boat? just... what is in the outside?

It's not the tech leach, call gore and tell him you need backup. Squads of three won't cut it anymore. Fill him in on everything, get Nizk to safety and check on the other dude.

>>289107
Oh no nonono. The Venom, that's what it uses to make more resurrected slaves.

Powl may be worse than dead.

>>289153
Powl is barely more than a smear on the ground now, I don't think we need to worry about him becoming infected . . .

Zane contacts Gore

Zane: "Sergeant, Powl's dead and Nizk is down, the creature overpowered us it's escaped into the ship proper requesting orders"

Gore: "Zane! don't let the TechLeech Escape! track that thing down!"

Zane: "Sir I'm not sure this thing IS the techleech, it was the size of a small house! there's no way that thing could have hidden from you all those years back-

Gore: "It WAS the Tech-Leech Now follow that order!"

Zane: "how do you know Gore? you weren't even here, you never saw it!"

Gore: "We'll be there momentarily, right after we finish mopping up the last couple stragglers"

Zane: "Sir! it doesn't make any sense!, why would it risk it's life on a frontal assault? those actions go against everything you told us!"

Gore: "Damnit Girl, shut yer damn mouth and wait for my arrival then! you know I'm growing rather tired of this unit's constant disobedience and incompetence!

Zane: . . .

>>289216
Damnit Gore, Zane is being the sensible one for once! That's CLEARLY a sub-boss!

Well the alternative to it being the tech-leech would be that it'd be something that it 'acquired' (infected) HERE, and unless you've got some huge beasts that could get infected and turn into that thing, at this point it seems logical to assume it's the tech-leech. Perhaps it knew that it was only a matter of time until either Gore's team tracked it down within the quarantined zone, Kimb's scanner was ready (how's that going by the way, quick jump to Kimb just to get a status report on that, please), or we evacuated all of the uninfected civilians and we detached the hub. Ultimately it didn't really LOSE much in that frontal assault, as other than losing a bit of tail (from one of your own deaths) it didn't really sustain any damage that'll cripple it. And now it's free. Send a message to Koza to gather all combat bots at the checkpoint and to cease processing civilians from the hub to the rest of the ship. Or, if it wouldn't take too much time, order the bots yourself. Then get back to hunting that thing down!

>>289216
Zane: It doesn't matter if it's the tech-leech or not. It's massive in both size and threat, so you need to keep track of it. Follow it.

Also, why have you not ordered robots to track it down and kill it?

Zane: be badass and go gladiate the shit out of that fake techleech.

Gore: order someone to check the outside sensors like a boss. general. whatever.

techleech: twirl mustache as you explain your convenient plan to the audience.

Pike: prevent zane from moving into the next room with a attack of flowery bouquets and fine chocolates. dont forget to wear a tie.

Wait for Gore, attacking it alone is suicide. Tell Gore that it fled too easily and is likely trying to bait you all into a trap.

"Sir! Attacking now will be pointless, the creature knows how to use cover to hide it's weak points and has fled into a corridor, where it can bend low and use it's heavy plates to protect itself. It's trying to lead me into a trap! I can give you it's coordinates and you three can attack it from the rear while I distract it from the front but otherwise attacking it now will be completely pointless! Sir, this is the opposite of incompetence, this is using field data to make a judgment call! Besides, Nizk needs attention now and we don't have enough men to just throw people at it, we're already three men down, four if you count Pike's insanity, and I am the last member of my squad standing. I need backup before we even think about engaging directly!"

Oh, also Zane: Grab some frag grenades from a security post/weapons locker nearby, you're going to need them if the leech crawls towards you low to the ground in one of these corridors.

Zane: Tell Gore that you're in charge of your squad, and right now your last squadmate needs help. The tech-leech can and will be found again when you have the manpower to destroy it, because currently you do not. Tell him that he appointed YOU to be head of security in this mission, and you're making a judgement call here.

Zane: After you have spoken with Gore, contact Pike. Tell him to scan Gore. Gore has fought the tech-leech many times before, right? Someone above Zane's authority had to have changed her clearances and such, right? It's entirely possible Gore is the traitor. He could possibly have been infected this entire time, and is simply a very good actor, or he could be actually trying to destroy the alliance he seems to hate so much.

>>289227
I'm not certain the BattleBots will be very effective against the target, I should be cautious not to waste assets . . .

>>289288
I'll take Nizk's MediScanner, this should be able to tell me if Gore's infected once he arrives

Pike: "Hello Zane. I think we need to talk."

Zane: !!!

how does Zane respond?

>>289474
Point both gun and scanner at Pike, use scanner to determine infected status.

"Do ya feel lucky Pike? Well? Do ya?"

"What do you want, Pike? Have you come to your senses?"

>>289474
sheilds up NOW

I'm assuming he's not that great a fighter also.
that said, be alert, don't shoot until shot at... and if shooting, shoot to injure.

Welp, by letting the leech (or whatever it is) go through the ship unchecked and untracked, you've just sacrificed pretty much everyone and the entire ship as a whole. All because you, Ms. Star Gladiator, were too afraid to go after it. I hope you resign, coward.

Pike: I'd tell you to shoot the traitor, but we don't have time for that. Or talking. Go after the tech-leech, it should be easily tracked by the trail it left, at least for a while. It probably regenerates quickly or some bullshit like that. Time to lift yourself up by your own bootstraps, to lead by example, to overcome your previous failures and all that. GO AFTER IT

>>289474
We don't give a damn how effective they would be! We're not trying to use them to kill it!

We're using them to deny it the chance to regroup!
We're using them to deny it the chance to plan!
We're using them to deny it the chance to heal!
We're using them to deny it the chance to escape!
We're using them to deny it the chance to hide!

I know you're a gladiator and thus the concepts of strategic thinking are alien to you, but you need to understand that you can't win here if you only strike as a killing blow and hold back for everything else!

"Medibay's right there, Pike. Get your head together, we need you."

Don't go after the leech it is long gone. Tell gore about the weak points at the next opportunity.

well i fully support checking pike with the scanner. its unlikely something happened anyway.

oh and tell him to lift his shield.

pike, remember, theres always more fish in the sea

>>289561
Don't tell him to life his shield, that would make him vulnerable to mind control dammit.

>>289561

You mean more cats/raccoons in the forest

>>289561
well, clearly, if Pike wanted Zane dead, he'd have fired...
consider the fact he hadn't been noticed till he spoke. That's reason enough to give some leniency. that said, still be cautious and make sure shields are up on all sides.

oh damm, i misspoke.

i mean his visor on the helmet. the thingie that hides the face.

Zane Scans Pike

he's clean

Zane: "What do you want, Pike? Have you come to your senses?"

Pike: "if I am truly insane how could I ever answer that honestly?"

Zane: " . . . you're not filling me with much confidence, anyways I'm guessing what ever you wanted to say must be important for you to walk all the way over here"

Pike: "I'm sorry Zane, I'm sorry for accusing you of treachery, I knew you weren't the traitor, I always knew better."

Zane: "you've just admitted to a capital offense Pike . . ."

Pike: "I just hated you so much, you were everything I had dreamed of being, I thought if I could get you out of the way I could replace you."

Zane: "so you're the traitor?"

Pike: "An incompetent one but yes, but I'm only a traitor for framing you, and you weren't even the real reason I lied I accused you of treachery because I didn't want to face the reality."

Zane: "what is this reality?"

Pike: "think Zane! you know who Traitor really is."

Zane: " well Koza said-"

Pike: "Koza is an idiot, a hacking all that RayTech without a single technician noticing? that's a lot of work, it's possible, but why hack the card system when you can just hack the master control computer? it's actually a lot easier"

Zane: "well maybe that what's they did?"

Pike: "then authorizations come from? hundreds of them! and why the second card at all? No the traitor didn't hack the computer nor did they cards,"

Zane: . . .

Pike: "The traitor didn't hack the systems because they didn't need too!"

>>289667
The... the system itself?

so someone who had access to do that anyway?

Gore is the traitor? He's certainly got a vendetta against the TechLeech. Not so far-fetched to think that he'd purposefully set this up so he can finally have his 'revenge'. Or to hunt it for sport.

Maybe he's the Van Pelt of space-furries.

...The bigwigs who organized this entire mission?

"I don't understand what you are saying, unless you mean Gore. Or... Do you mean the same bigwigs that organized my fights back home? Do you mean that my last fight WAS fixed, and Command is out to get me?"

>>289667
>"The traitor didn't hack the systems because they didn't need too!"
>they didn't need too!
>they

oh shit...

also, this is where you use your femininity and kiss him on the cheek for basically solving the entire goddamn mystery.

This is a group that did it. This is your own command.

And that is why he broke earlier...

>>289711
uh, "they" has become a common way to indicate gender ambiguity in the post-feminism english language. And it doesn't make much sense for it to have been the entire command structure. Where's the motive?

Kissing him on the cheek is a silly suggestion to make to an adorably repressed space lesbian.

No but really, don't kiss him, that's a terrible idea. Just tell him that he is not insane, his vision and judgement were simply clouded, and if he repents and makes damn sure this never happens again that will be enough. Tell him we all make mistakes, it's the ones we don't learn from that kill us.

kiss not cause he's a guy
kiss cause you can use your gender to your advantage?
or you could get pissed off for the suggestion

And he could have said "the traitor didn't need too". He's a military officer, he's going to keep to the point and say things in detail. They is they.
of course, I can be wrong...
also
> authorizations come from? hundreds of them! and why the second card at all? No the traitor didn't hack the computer nor did they cards,
I believe this is important to finding the traitor...
But the traitor screwed Zane over... and how do you do that without cards or hacking the main computer?
it's simple, we're dealing with a digital entity of some sort.
The station is against us. The one thing that can be referred as a singular and a plural.

of course, I could just be retarded.

hey i had the theory of gore being under control before most dudes jumped that bandwagon >>286995

well, either him or his superiors.

it actualy only makes sense if he was infected for quite a while or if this was his actual intentions all along, to kill the tech leech that he had once found.

coming to think of it, if he IS infected, he replaced the captain with a infected to better control the ship. this means the tech leech is exactly where it wants to be, because gore unintentionaly directd the ship there. i want a pic of the outside ASAP.

also PIKE, CLOSE THAT HELMET. you look like a zombie ffs.

>>289723
uh. theres no way he will escape court martial. at the very least he will be demoted.

>>289667
"You think it was Gore. His actions say he's out to kill the leech, and he'd blow up the damn ship if he thought that'd do it. He had the motive and means to make it so we have no choice but to kill the leech.
Problem is he's damn good at his job and we don't have a choice. If we do anything about it now we'll only hurt our odds.

I'm going to keep this quiet until the crisis is over. I'm not going to order you to do the same, but I ask that you think very carefully about the consequences before you say or do anything about this."

Or it could be whoever was painting the bridge with ranging/targeting radar.

Pike: "ah good Sergeant I've been waiting for you. and it seems we at least share one opinion after all!"

Zane scans Gore

he's clean

Where's the rest of his squad?

Even though he is clean he still could have set this up for some bizarre revenge scheme.

>>289897
The rest of his squad is on the ramp above him.

Tell Gore to hang on, Pike seems to have found something. He was not mad, but his vision was clouded and rendered temporarily insane from a revelation.

Zane, tell him to back away from Gore and tell us all who the traitor(s) are. Back away from Gore yourself just in case.

>>289896
Break it up quick before people get stupid. Don't get shot in the process.

>>289896
Tell him amends have been made and that Pike had just figured something out.

Gore cannot kill the subordinate unless he strikes against him. he's already in submission, so he is of no harm...

He needs to drop his weapon now before Gore makes it an excuse to kill him.

Stop being a passive pile of mush and get your head in the game. Here, repeat after me:
"Gore! Stand. Down. He's MY subordinate, and you WILL leave this to me.
Pike, I want you to listen very carefully and trust what I say to be the truth. If Gore says there are no traitors on this ship then there are no traitors on this ship. That means every single person on this ship is following orders.
Isn't that right, Gore?"

"No you haven't you fucking asshole! Tell me what you know! And GORE! A good sergeant listens to all of their troops, no matter how insane, and then decides what to do WITH that knowledge! We know there is a high ranking traitor, Pike, display the information you have gathered, including and especially that my card has been used zero times, and what we have figured out so far. DO AS YOU ARE TOLD, SOLDIER."

Let's waste time talking about shit. I'm sure time's not an issue.

first tell pike gore is clean

MEANWHILE the boys scream at each other, scan yourself and pike. then verify if the scanner wasnt tampered.

we have real reasons to belive there is a traitor. and gore should calm down, pike only had a nervous crisis in a critical moment, it happens with tecnical personnel.

>>290132
gods dammit. i forgot. i want to know what is in the outisde of the ship to be giving so much radiation.

also what do you think about bluffing, saying the scanner is broken and pointing everyone as infected?

tell them to both stand down.
If pike attacks, incapacitate him. shoot his arm or his legs so he is unable to fight. He can then be carted off.

Still... bit cryptic... oughta keep a closer eye on Gore...

>>290147
... Bastard, FINE, let's go have your goddamn bughunt. Seriously, fucking lunatics and using ENTIRE COLONY SHIPS AS BAIT. Could have at least let me know! Huh?

Anyone know what a Maloran Worm is?

>>290151
Scratch that, I figured it out. It's from Ice World: Malor, right?

>>290147
...Zane. Please tell me that you have recording systems. Either way, shut your mouth in front of the crazy, help him with his macho bug hunt, then report the fuck out of him to the higher ups. He's the traitor.

>>290147
Thanks for admitting to treason, pal. Arrest him. Use force if necessary, and if he gets violent shoot him where he stands.

You did record everything he said, didn't you?

>>290155
Actually, he 'may' have authorization do to this, this whole mission may have been planned to catch this particular bug, the perfect bait.

Not something I'd consider tactically sound when your race's reproduction is barely replacement rate, but still it would make sense given their 'whatever the cost' mindset.

If that were true, why wouldn't they have just issued orders to annihilate the space beacon the bug was in the moment it was detected on radar? This sounds more like a personal vendetta, that perhaps Gore, having failed to kill the bug previously, now wants to be the one that takes it down mano a mano, as it were.

Also, OH SNAP LonelyWorld just confirmed that by by 'crush this Maloran Worm' he means to murder Pike. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN. Well, at least, I'm against it.

Zane: open a private comm with pike. Tell him to flank the captain. If he makes any movement tell him to cut his power cables from his power pack.

Zane: Open public comms.

Say the following in the most authoritative, disgusted manner possible and shout over him if necessary, do not let him interrupt you. Back away from him as well and under no circumstances get close to that sword.

"Sergeant Gore, you ADMIT to putting the lives of thousands at unnecessary risk and have likely doomed us all, you have usurped my authority on a mission meant to be MY responsibility and deliberately sabotaged our efforts to save these lives. It is with a heavy heart that I declare you to be a TRAITOR to the alliance, and the penalty for TREASON is DEATH. EVERYONE! I am the acting sergeant now. I am the acting head of security and I command all of you to execute this traitor to the alliance!"

Also draw your axe to parry that sword if you absolutely must, but try your damnedest to simply stay out of the way.

so he did it to purposely lure out the tech-leech, sacrificing an entire colony ship on this sole purpose. lets hope it was worth it and that it doesn't just escape like last time. kinda clear he plans on destroying the ship if it is needed to defeat it, taking his life w/ it if needed. Traitor no, asshole & genocidal yes.

The only thing is that he thought he killed it before, so he wouldn't of gone to all this trouble unless he was purely trying to exterminate all of the tyranids- err- bugs, by any means necessary.

Worry about dealing with traitor charges in the formal proceedings which will occur AFTER the giant bug is dealt with. He may have done bad, but he wants this creature dead more than anyone else on board, and he has the best equipment and most experience. Arresting or attacking him now dooms more innocents.

PRIORITIES, ZANE.

"Gore, for fuck's sake. Listen to yourself. You're blinded by revenge. We already lost one guy to the leech. Do we need you to kill another? We need all the hands we need to kill those worms. And you're certainly not helping here."

tell to forget pike and go after the god damn fucking leech. it went down the hall.

>>290173
This guy puts it way better than I can.

>>290147
Commander Gore has just confessed to a breach of station and the endangering of the entire colony. He has betrayed the Astranians, caused the death of many, and put the entire colony at risk.

It is time he is put down.

>>290147
Zane, start thinking of whatever military protocols you can do to relieve Gore. There has to be some sort of "Unfit for Duty due to BEING CRAZY IN THE BRAIN" thing you Astranians have, that would require the majority consent of the rest of the troop.

'course, there's always Mutiny for the Greater Good.

>>290197
Seconded. Do all that one guy said but also if he moves to strike Pike cut his wires from his power supply yourself. careful not to hit the supply itself though!

It's time for an epic speech and an execution, Zane. Just be careful you don't get killed by that sword or that nasty gun he has in the process, getting close means your shields won't block shit as they'll combine with gore's. Stay out of reach unless he turns for pike, in which case do the thing where you cut the wires.

Godspeed, Zane. Time to be all ASTRANIAN up in this bitch.

i was right. gore actualy wanted to kill that worm so much he fucked everything.

also ask him why he should be obeyed with such a care for the protocols. his shenanigans alone made pike snap.

cue boss fight theme.

>>290147
We can't kill Gore, even with recorded footage.
We have to play along until his hand is played.

No need to have two powerful enemies at the same time. You need to pit them against one another.

Plus, killing him will make you a fugitive for the rest of this mission... at least until you get out.

And please tell me those two others aren't with Gore on this considering the fact he just admitted to treason.

Kill that Gore dude. In the face.

>>290265
A fugitive? From who? We ARE the security team. The four of them can convict him easily posthumously.

His hand has been played, he just revealed his hand and what he has been doing all along.

Above all this, apart from being a capable fighter he is useless given his experience hasn't helped him do anything but aid the other side and help the other side kill the people he is sworn to protect.

He needs to die right now. Everyone gang up on him, it'll be fast and easy.

>>290147
Use private messages.
Tell Pike to run back to the bridge. Tell the others Gore admitted to treason.
Then, openly: "The bug went that way, sir. We need to hurry if we're going to catch it."

We want Gore to fight the tech leech. We can kill whichever one wins after that, but that's the biggest threat for now.

Gore has stepped beyond a traitor. He has willing sacrificed the lives of his soldiers, the ships crew, and the ships passengers all for a vendetta.
Whats possibly worse, it may have been an order from above him.

>>290313
This a military dictatorship. It's not treason if it's an order from the brass.
If they considered two thousand people acceptable losses for baiting a tech leech into a trap and ordered it to be done, then treason is doing anything to interfere with that.

So command sent over two thousand innocent civilians off to die just for a shot at killing a tech leech. If you fail then they will try again. The only option to reduce the body count is to kill the tech leech now.

>>290318

There's one other potential option. She could get conclusive proof of those orders, and expose this to the public. It would result in her being tried for treason if she were caught, and the public may or may not believe civilians were sent into harm's way deliberately, but if they do believe it, some of the brass responsible for this are going to hang high. It really depends on public sentiment about being used as live bait.

Well now you fucked up, Zane.

The most experienced combatant is gonna seriously wound or kill your squad, while the Tech leech is still at large.

No wonder you lost to a Pinkskin if you can't think tactically.

Let his execution be at the hands of the monster on the loose. You really can't afford to go killing powerful fighters that you need to kill horrible monsters with. That is stupid as shit.

zane. there is no mission to begin with. everything is FUBAR.

nuke the fucking ship and leave with whoever you can.

Okay, what we need now is to raid the armory, get some volunteers and conscript able bodied folk until we have a man for every rifle and finish sending off the shuttles until two are left, a ways apart from each other. Scan everyone to be sure everyone left is clean, get the makeshift militia to defend the shuttles and get everyone possible off the ship before getting yourselves and the militia out on the last two shuttles.

It's also almost time to rig the ship to blow, hopefully we can do this all while the shit is still wounded. Don't forget Huro or Nizk either.

Get someone to direct the scanners to determine the source of radiation.

Get all remaining bots on your position and the shuttles. Including a few medical bots.

Zane: acquire disintegration rifle.
