Who am I? Where am I? Why is there a cute robot spider on the far wall? Do I have morning breath?

Let's start with something simple. What happened?

What was the model number of the vehicle that ran me over?

Also, what are our current assets?

What do you mean, current condition? What's wrong with my condition?!?

so, what went wrong?

Don't look at yourself. Instead, ask for a smoke and throw something at the flying thing.

ask if we're here because we did something heroic or just was fortunate enough to be pulled off the battlefield.

Am I still employed, and what all changes did you folks make to me while I was under?

>Who am I? Where am I? Why is there a cute robot spider on the far wall? Do I have morning breath?

[Whaa... Who!?]

Dr.Mitchell:Commander? Are you feeling ok?
Why do I hear voices in my head?
Dr.Mitchell:Oh. It's just a side effect of being exposed to a rare alien artifact. Do not be alarmed its "mostly" harmless. Think of it as a door to your inner psyche.

>Let's start with something simple. What happened?

Dr.Mitchell:I don't know the details, all know is that you were hurt, and hurt bad. It was month sence they brought you back Commander. If you wish to know more, Commander Bradshaw will personally debrief you. Right now my job is to make sure you fully recovered.

>What do you mean, current condition? What's wrong with my condition?!?
[I feel mostly normal.]

>...throw something at the flying thing.
[It's a C class medbot, and I do have to agree, they are annoying]

Dr.Mitchell:I'm gonna ask you number of questions to make sure you didn't suffer any additional brain damage. Let's start with something simple. Are you boy or a girl?

Demand a smoke and ignore the fact that you likely have serious burns. Also ignore the joke that is hidden with great subtlety in the answer which is "grill".

grrrrrillllll...
Growl it out, maybe prepare to pounce on the flying spider.

>>639400
You are a TANK GIRL! The cutest of your kind.

When I was working with a new Barbatos heavy tank and its modular main cannon, I got an idea to try sizing it down to use on light assault type as well, then I did it again and again. And now what we have here is handheld modular cannon ready to dish out three types of pain. Pretty cool right.

Maximum spunk.
"I never was the strategist type anyway. Pity about the squad though. Send me there again, I'll do your mission solo. Oh, uh, and remind me ehat we were looking for there? I might've taken one explosion to the face too many and lost my memory a little.
Pimp jacket, by the way. Where can I get one?"

>>639696
Agreed, jacket is pimping. We therefor need one.

I don't suppose you could remind me of the details of that particular failure? Doc wasn't big on post-sit details.

Also shrug over the demotion. If you were ordered into a meat grinder, someone has to take the fall for it, and you know damn well it won't be the brass who sent you there. You're gonna keep being awesome, though.

Do we have a new assignment or is this just gonna be a dressing down? Lemme know how awake to stay.

You obviously can't be demoted for something you don't remember, right?

Hey we're just a giant pile of voices to help soooo there's that.

did that mission have any chance of success at all?

the fact we're demoted not fire tells me they still want us around.

So.. who are we fighting? Also why?

so we got demoted, eh we'll be back on top sooner or later.

[Enemy is Legion of Madness. Forefront of interdimensional invasion...]

Mind flayers as they commonly known been encoutered before all through out the galaxy, and repelled back into their home dimension each time.
Five years ago this small planet called Korath IV was colonized by Vitacorp, giant intergalactic conglomerate.
Year after prospecting began colonists discovered dormant dimensional gates under the planet surface.
The rest of the story pretty easy to put together.
Strangelove military company is Vitacorps warfare subsidiarie. It was deployed to counteract Mad Legion.

>But seriously, what the hell happened there?

[As soon as commander mentions operation Maveric I began to remember...]

[Goal of this mission was to contain and secure recently discovered alien artifact before the enemy could take it off world. 3rd armored divison under your command ambushed the enemy outpost where artifact was held. While main forces took the front of the attack, your personal squad flanked the enemy lines and got inside the outpost. You can't remember much after that.]

Commander Bradshaw: Soon after your squad entered the outpost, the whole structure exploded. Wave of unknown energy from the explosion "erased" everything for miles around. The only thing left untouched was outpost itself, with everything inside...

Major Jaxx: ...but that means.

Commander Bradshaw: We suspect that your team also survived the explosion. According to report from recovery team, the only thing they found was you and number of dead enemy troopers. A week ago our scouts confurmed a prisoner transfer to biggest enemy base in sector. And as we speak our forces moving towards it.

Clearly we must reattain commander status as soon as possible!

So I assume we're blue on the map? Doesn't seem like the best approach, they'll be flanking us almost immediately....

Anyway, what's our forces look like?

Commander Bradshaw: Concil knows about your skills all to well. So don't expect to sit this one out Jaxx. Your new mission haven't chaged much from before. You will infiltrate the secondary enemy base, and recover the artifact along with your team, if they are still alive. In addition to that you will have to disable warp gates to cut off enemy reinforcements. And with that our main forces should be able to take on the main base and destroy "elder brain".

Commander Bradshaw: Exactly, can't spare a single soulder, all can do is provide a ride via dropship in the vicinity of secondary base. But I belive you are resourceful type major. You'll figure something out.

>What other races do we have in this place?

[Hmm... I'm not expert in alien races. But I can tell you about ones currently residing on this base.]

1). Most of the base population consists on humans, or to be more precise cloned human commonly referd to as "Ditto's" (myself included). Only few higher ranked officers are so called "Primes" or real humans. Like Commander Duke Bradshaw or Dr. Donoma Mitchell.

2). Dwarfs like Master Kaz and his tech officers are mostly hang around the armory.

3). Vorticon mercenaries when not on the recon ground missions hang out at G&R bar in the sector 7.

4). Elfs, agents of Vitacorp almost never leave the command center at sector 1. Good for them.

5). As former high ranked commander, I know about black-ops tozol squad currently kept in the cryostasis, in the armory's vault.

6). If I'm not mistaken chef of the MP is Scellor. I never seen another Scellor exept him.

7). Aaand there is a number of Illithid corpses in the "fridge"... donno if it counts thou.

well they count as "an alien" but not an allied alien.

anyway, get all Kaz's things that are experimental to the point no one wants to test them. they will be tested under fine.

...
...
...

Requisition the tozol.

>As former high ranked commander, I know about black-ops tozol squad currently kept in the cryostasis, in the armory's vault.

[this is what goofy helmet is for. it protects against any type of psychic attacks and negates mind control.]

right now i need to use my time to prepare. i have 6 hours and 2000 units to spend.

well since you have what you need, either hit the gym to see how much being in a coma for a month has effected you, or get some rest before the mission.

Does Kaz have any sort of special ammo for that buster gun? Some HEAT, HE and incendiary rounds might prove useful for different scenarios. Perhaps some WP for area denial if you haven't outlawed that.

heavier armor then your jumpsuit.

Gear upgrade!

Also, how much do mercs cost? Is that even under your jurisdiction? 'Cuz we could use a dashing rogueish figure in our party.

Tell us about this "proxy suit" you've been mentioning. Is it like a remote-controlled mech?

>>640362
Explosives. What kind of sneaking or base infiltration mission doesn't involve planting charges?

Some kind of scanner that might help you locate your imprisoned squad?

...I don't suppose we could make a disguise of of those frozen baddie corpses.

Lockpicks? Grappling hook? Rubber mask with fake face-tentacles that fits over your helmet and makes you look like a mind flayer, at least from a distance in bad light? Or just whatever weird crap is cheap this week. How much is 2000 credits in practical terms, anyway?

>Does Kaz have any sort of special ammo for that buster gun?
[this gun, as any energy weapon, doesn't need an ammo it's need to be recharged in between missions. really convinient. i never was really good at keeping track of ammo. it has three modes of fire: standart blaster mode, ingition toaster mode, stable bouncer mode.]

>heavier armor then your jumpsuit.
[if will go with free feild kit, i would have to choose between standart light armor or medium armor. light armor provides better mobility and weakest protection, medium armor balances both.]

>>640497
Yeah the visor upgrade seems good. It does work through walls, yeah?

Is there anything else available in cyberware and gadgets? Ideally we want things that help make up for how dumb J.L.J. is and make it more likely she'll find what she's looking for without being spotted.
It might also help if we had a better idea what kind of enemy and enemy materiel we're likely to see so we can figure out what weapons might be even worth thinking about.

Gravboots [wall running]

Jetbooster upgrade [high jump, short speed boost]

>>640539
Grab both. Using the grav boots and jet boosters together can only lead to amazing things.

do you even know how to use either of those things? If not put them on your wish list and move on. Once we have some more cash to piss away and some free time to get the hang of the things we buy we can come back and grab them but for now I say leave them unless you know how to use them.

>>640539
How much do those cost?

Between the two I'd favor the grav boots.

Also think we should get the explosives. They're not too pricey and I'm sure something will need blowing up.

They do look bigger. But you have tasty, tasty, abs.

Anyways, let's see what our merc options are.

There is one way to find out for sure.

Plus you got a month long dry spell to make up for, and tradition before heading out on a death defying mission.

>Anyways, let's see what our merc options are.

Jackie sizes up customers, and after getting some pointers from barmen, zeroes in on 5 potential hired guns.

1) "Quicksand" (human/cyborg-female) former bounty hunter. speciality: recon, sniper.
gear: B class custom sniper rifle, light armor + 2lvl cammo upgrade.

2) "Saint" (human/cyborg-male) former drop infantry captain. speciality: assault, cqc.
gear: standart machine-gun, medium armor.

3) "Fuse" (human-female) explosive and pyro expert. speciality: explosives, flamethrower.
gear: flamethrower, medium armor + fire resistance upgrade.

4) "Vi" (vorticon-female) heavy type slugger. speciality: cqc, BIG weapons.
gear: battle axe + jetbooster upgrade, heavy armor.

5) "Jenga" (vorticon-male) scout. speciality: recon, two-hands.
gear: 2xlight machine-gun, medium armor.

[with units i have, i could only hire one. it would cost 1000 units upfront and 50% of spoils we get after mission is over.]

>...month long dry spell to make up for...
[only after all preparations for mission are complete.]

We need some one that can cover what skills we don't have. What's the best we can do, the second best, our worst thing, and our second worst thing?

Balanced team? Pfft, double LMG's? That's like something out of an old action movie, hire that fella.

Also did you replenish focus by essentially staring at your own ass?

Well, we're an in your face blaster. The sniper with stealth gear seems a good compliment to that. Support and sneaking around when you need it.

I'd go for 1.

>50% spoils
Just to be clear, rescued squadmates are not spoils.

It occurs to me our buddies might be locked up, restrained, and/or injured. Any of the mercs have any skills in bypassing locks or being a medic? (Although we have an energy weapon. We can blast locks, probably).

Will the Merc need a silly helmet so the baddies don't hear their brain coming?

>pretty good at gambling
Might want to earn a little extra cash once we've covered essentials.

>after
Duty first.

Hire Fuse. Inside the base, area control and entrance making will be useful, especially given our lack of close range options. Also, subtlety isn't really our forte.
What explosives does she come equipped with? If nothing, we can at least grab a pack of boom-dough for her.

Fuse sounds like a good companion for this mission.

Explain the basic details of the opp (rescue, hitting enemy base, etc). Arrange to meet at the drop site, or for her to be dropped in with you (dunno if our guys are gonna be willing to transport mercs).

Then high five and give her time to make whatever her preparations are.

[Jackie's starting hand]

After quickly briefing of a new teammate, you decide to spend some time gambling. Luck was always on your side, and you see no reason not to take advantage of it.

Vorticons are always welcome a new player on their table. Your opponents are Vi and Jenga.

(1-2 weak, 3-4 medium, 5-6 strong)
- after this palyer must choose to ether: raise, call, fold or bluff.
- if player chooses raise, stakes are doubled and opponents gain +0.5 to their rolls.
- if player chooses call, 6-dice rolled to determine opponents hand
(1-2 weak, 3-4 medium, 5-6 strong) + (active modifier)
higher number wins.
- if player chooses fold, she forfeit her bet in the current pot, but gains +1 to the next round

Jenga gets plus 2 on what roll? The base hand, or the bluff check?

If the later, we can still reasonably call. If the former, folding might be better.

Combine with light armor for better speed and to flaunt our spunk.

This gear list seems reasonable, except I would equip the medium armor for more protection. Speed doesn't make us invincible, especially in tight quarters, and the speed booster should take care of the need to go-fast.

I suppose Jaxx was so lucky not to get spotted, that's what Spunk is all about isn't it?

Jackie and Fuse exit their drop-pods.

Enemy base is appears to be in 2 klick to the west. Lifeless terrain without much cover beside cliffs and hills.

[i was promoted to a commander rank at the end of Shikadi war, by arch commander Johnson. so it was about 5 years give or take.]

>sneaking mission at first.
[we take cover under nearby ridge.i see two possible ways to approach the fortress on foot...]

A) we wait until the sunset and move in shadow casted by mountaib side. [-2 hour]
B) we move out now and cross the mountain side and take a longer route with entry point in far east wing of the base.
C) ...or we can just run out in the open and die in the flame of glory.

Go east. The longer you're in the same place the higher the chance you'll get found.

Lets go with B. They'll probably have patrols there, and it will be a hard trek, but you both have the stuff to do it. Your Gravboots will even help with the steeper inclines.

I say B. Move in now carefully. Every hour we wait is another hour your team is in captivity.
Also make a mental note to perform sexy pose over vanquished enemies when givin the chance.

B.

Be sure to test those grav boots on the ridge, before we need them in combat. Get used to the new range of motion.

>man i really need to come up with some better name for this baby
The peashooter or the prototype?

Take the jolly route that gives you time to get used to the physical characteristics of Korath IV again.

Gee, choice C sounds oddly appealing.

Actually, I'd go with A. Keep an eye on the base, see if they're moving anything in or out.

B)

time is a factor but so is not getting shot.

B

You're here. Even if you go with plan A, you might as well spend those two hours casing the joint.

Ilithid's have a very convoluted way to plan the layout of their bases, scientists explain it by difference in structure of dimensional planes here and in their home dimension.

Two guards can be seen next to the side entry.
[light arms, medium armor. We are far enough form local elder brain, so if we take these two out, alarm shouldn't be triggered, i guess...]

will possible switch to a simplier style for some parts...

how quite are your weapons, as in the both of you? Because if nether of you have silent weapons I think the best course of action would be to try and get the two guards closer and have your friendly pyromaniac fry both of them.

need to kill both at the same time. your protogun should be able to kill one easy enough on a hit, but you can't shoot both at once. unless you are just that good.

Make a small plan on how to take down these two; nothing serious, less than seven prerogatives.

Keep one alive to give you the door password. Then give them extensive brain damage. Via their reproductive organs.

[As per usual interrogating this no easy task. They don't do omnispeak or any other common galactic language.]

Jackie attaches one of her mind-chips on "rejects" helmet.

Jackie: now let see... what you'r hiding squidface. :3

===> starting mind-dive.

===> select a topic...

[by using a mind-chip Jackie can interrogate/communicate with ilithids. success of such action depends on lvl of smarts.]

[mind-dive starts with lvl1 where all common/unimportant information is stored, diving deeper allows to obtain classified information, from lvl2, lvl3... and so on.]

[each dive attempt hold risk of mental backlash wich will fry brain of interrogatee and knock interrogator unconcious.]

Opening the door

Lets start simple. How do we open the door? Alo might as well rifle their pockets for any useful loot..er..intel.
If it safe maybe delve deeper. Patrol routes.. prisoners..useful intel.

Jackie gets a set of codes for lvl1 security doors.

Jackie: thank you. that will do.

>If it safe maybe delve deeper. Patrol routes.. prisoners..useful intel.

[with jackie's lvl of smarts attribute it has its risks.]

Should you try diving deeper?

A) yes
B) no

Eh why not.

Let's not push our luck on this one.

We don't have the mental strength for this. Know when to stop.

Go up to our limits of what we're pretty sure we can do safely and quickly: We're under time pressure but we will have to do this later to gain more info so getting better at it through experience is a must.

Let's not.

Negative. Punch out of this mind-dive.

Nah, commence face-punching.

You got the codes in. Punch his face in.

...or. Maybe it would be easier to grab intel about that surprise bunch of prisoners they grabbed? That's an unusual occurrence, so it might be closer to the surface, something he thought about.

nah, we got the key, the rest we can figure out on our own. Besides it's no fun if you know where everything is. Takes away that exploration feel of the unknown. Plus we can just grab some other squid if we really need to download a map of the place.

Oh and wasn't this mission meant to take place during a frontal assault by your side's army? How's that doing?

Eh, I say no. Let fuse set his face tendrils on fire.

Major Jaxx: no... ether this info is well secured, or he didn't know anything about them.

By using codes you enter outer wall of enemy base. Network of dimly lighted hallways are like big maze.
You have no idea where prisoners held. Walking around aimlessly will lead you right into tendrils of one of the patrols.

well the way I see it is we can move slowly forward, remember where you've been, and try to sneak up on a squid or patrol and hit them like you did the guards outside and see what you can't pull off of them. That or find somewhere for the two of you to ambush a patrol if you don't like you chances of finding someone before they find you. Though if you do chose the second option the two of you will have to find somewhere that the two of you can easily hide without being spotted right away.

The lights on the ceiling may be paths to different sectors, if they're continuous. Otherwise, just stay frosty and look for a room with a terminal or something.

You might be able to follow the lights / power conduits in the ceiling to a generator or a control hub (head for greater density in the lines). Either might be a good target of opportunity, and might have the resources to show you where prisoners are kept.

Only drawback is both those locations would be guarded.

>You might be able to follow the lights / power conduits in the ceiling to a generator or a control hub

by following glowing tubes to the source, Jackie and Fuse approach possible location of the control-room.

[this place looks important... but i only see one guard.]

Fuse brings your attention to the automated turret, mounted just above the doorway. [this is gonna be a problem...]

think making some ruckus now will be okay. charge gun as much as you can and blow out the turret first. fuse rushes the guard.

Jackie charges up the prototype...
as charge reaches its peak, both Jackie and Fuse jump out of the corner, taking shots at their respective targets.

[i think... it was a bit overkill.]

emergency siren and lights been triggered.

control room was destroyed.

...is there anything pass the room or is it just a slag heap now? Because if their's a hallway or room behind it with other exits you can see I say into the breach, if not the two of you may want to find somewhere else to be.

sure don't make control rooms like they used to. uhhh... anything left in there? if not then run.

Guess we can check off the full power field test of that gun, wonder if it has any more shots left.

>>646139
I mean hand-cannon.

Swoon over your weapon and then run away.

Oh well. No Intel, but with the control room destroyed, they should have a hard time coordinating a response.

whatever there was, useful or otherwise, is now gone.

[guard are gonna be here any minute now, and the whole base is now on high alert, moving around unseen would be tough.]

>Oh well. No Intel, but with the control room destroyed, they should have a hard time coordinating a response.
[it would buy us some time... but not too much.]

>Guess we can check off the full power field test of that gun
[this thing is seem to be overheated right now its need to cool-down for a bit.]

Fuse: boss... if we don't do something they will eventually corner us.

[any bright ideas would be pretty welcomed right now.]

well best thing to do would to be to put as much distance between the newest hole in the wall as you can. If you can find a small room to duck off and hide in that would be useful as well. they're out in force now so it's going to be harder to find one alone and try to download a map off his mind but if you can find somewhere to hide it will at least buy you some time.

follow them backwards, where are they coming from? find the barracks or whatever it is and you may find a nearly empty room.

>>646163
Diversions! Diversions everywhere but near you.

Remote detonate/ timed explosions, set fires, overload the power grid, and fill the air with smoke. cause havoc.

Escape into access corridors, or air vents, if those are not available, try your best to wear the uniform of the enemy, and stuff some rags near your face for a tentacle approximation.
