lets look at our mans, I don't think we ever had a roster update. It'll be long cause we got a lotta guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG_2EvMzhDc if you want some other load out I guess says omething. We have a few more flame grenades and disruptor beams off the edge of the inventory screen. If you really want we could buy a flight suit or psi uplink. First group of guys:         Yeah, so I really think WWN has the worst starting accuracy out of anyone we have on the team, including rooks. Pop fly has been lugging that demo charge for the entire game and never had a chance to use it. Chill is a fuckin beast and has the highest bravery in the game, already nearly maxed out. Also a very specialized weaponset. Poverty Goat has the highest accuracy so they're going sniper as well. We have a lot of guns we aren't even using that I held on to "just in case" S2:         walrus is also becoming a brave hero, and a pretty strong psionisist. Cube is coming along nicely for a rook, but molo still has poor reactions. Snot has max bravery and essentially will never break, panic, or lose control. S3:          HBar is our heavy munitions expert, weird job for a mutant, but he picked up that launcher out of ElectricSheep's cold dead hands so I let him keep it. Gridlocked is turbofucked and won't be back in missions for a long rear end time. Reality_groove is sort of the Chill of robots. Guess you should recognize most of the other special loadouts from missions. e: also protagonist is sort of shaping up to the protagonist of this playthru. it's weird

Engineering finishes up with those guns and moves to produce ammo. Looks like those missions worked for Osiron, but Megapol and especially Diablo are still on the rise.  We're probably going to have to do more investigations, but i'm not so sure where we should go. I go to check some other stuff &  It's the new one. Gotta take it down, may have new aliens. But they got shwarmas and shitpiles too, they're going to be able to do whatever they want uncontested. We can only take down one of these things if we're lucky.

 best fit targeting solution. I should have kept all our ships out of the base though, that'll slow down response time. The other aliens are near our second base and directly south of the new UFO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV1JyDLbXfo&t=1064s https://i.imgur.com/FDCawLg.gifv the gall of these bastards, they act like they can do whatever the gently caress they want. We need to be twice as good as we are now to take out one of these new ships. We're doing more damage than the fuckin aliens are, practically. Reorient to target the nearest shwarma: https://i.imgur.com/6HlY63S.gifv This went less than good. We have to admit at this point that we're completely, categorically outclassed in the air. We lost most of our craft during this incursion and even when we threw everything we had at one single UFO we were only able to scratch it. Work's not done yet though. Boots are ready to step in and do some more personal problem solving. Choose an Investigation: 1) Megaflyer One:  Owner: Marsec. Function: Large Flyer Factory East, near the warehouse district 2) Babylon Apartments:  Owner: Sensovision. Function: Apartments. South, past where we just raided the cult 3) Ptolemy Apartments:  Owner: Sensovision. Function: Apartments. Northwest, near our second base.

Hey fellow nerds and non-narc agents, just a thought exercise some of us in engineering were having after the latest incursion: So we kick in doors each time the aliens show up because allegedly they'll brainsuck the corporation CEO or something right? And the reason tell us this is bad is that then the infiltrated corp will greenlight sending a bunch of mooks to our base to kill us... but they need money to do that. How about if instead of fighting aliens, we just 9-11'd everyone else in the city to make them all go broke? The alien threat would be stopped cold because even aliens gotta use subway tokens to get around Mega Primus. The war would be over tomorrow. Really makes you think about exactly what we're doing here and whether this isn't just some Deep Senate plan to conveniently dispose of all the robots, mutants, and poors in some meat-grinder Forever War against a poorly understood outsider adversary. Just asking questions here.

I'm just an angry brainsucked husk of a wraith rattling chains and ejaculating ectoplasm into engineering's lockers every week, but I think going scorched earth is bad. In this life there is only war and the dark laughter of thirsting gods and we should enjoy it.  Real Answer: destroying everybody's poo poo will hurt us more than it does the guys coming out of an extradimensional portal with their own supply of weapons and troop transport.

I wanna keep everyone together because there's prob gonna be a fuckload of aliens. Problem is this will take all fuckin night if we don't spread out at least a little.

They both land hits but Poverty Goat is a profoundly better sniper. https://i.imgur.com/jx9xeis.gifv snot puts an end to the matter https://i.imgur.com/OcilcWD.gifv Protag still sees a brainsucker. Better take some action to resolve that situation... https://i.imgur.com/WbuN3X8.gifv Right so protag is not a master sniper, but the immediate problem is solved. I'm concerned there are still multiple brainsuckers crawling around. Too bad there's some damage to the fancy power cores or w/e nno sees movement and moves to regain contact https://i.imgur.com/ZFyqBce.gifv WWN moves up but fails to connect the shot. https://i.imgur.com/VN6orlg.gifv This is rapidly spiraling outta control. If the last alien drops were similar to this drop, then we're looking at about 2-3 more yellows and 3-4 more blues. Instead, chicken notices a worm in a totally different part of the map. if we let anything escape we're only loving ourselves here.  Fart realizes it's actually worse. Only one stun grenade. Gotta hope this will take them outta commission asap. https://i.imgur.com/36im2n3.gifv Well, hopefully these power cores are nonflammable. I didn't consider it until it was too late. https://i.imgur.com/EZKphmj.gifv like a fool I let fart take serious wounds. Even snot is injured now. We'll need to somehow hire new guys before the next mission. We already loaded into this one shorthanded. S1 will try to cover the zone this worm and two blues came from. S2 will try to follow the fleeing blue. I have Fart stop, strip the shield off the sleeping yellow, and try to kill him. Not enough TUs. Chickenheart notices the fleeing guy who is TOTALLY trying to escape. https://i.imgur.com/WQREPhW.gifv Well it was trying to escape until the stun gas blocked it's view of our heroic alien murder force godDAMN I could use a cig rn.

William Henry Hairytaint posted:I haven't posted in awhile but I'm still reading every time there's new posts, thanks for keeping it going. We need faster healing, I want off the bench. it's a process. We used the poo poo we robbed off the cult to pay for it but it will still take 4 more days to come online. That's only like 75 more missions the way things been going we'll be back in it np. vortmax posted:drat I missed the physics vote. But we've gotta build another medical facility if we're going to keep raiding like this. I'm also going to put the most injured people on the backburner and transfer them to the other base. As everyone else comes out i'll trickle them back home. This will focus on getting people back into the action instead of slowly healing everyone over a period of like a year. Because the game handles scientists weirdly I will have to make sure they get healed asap. You don't really have any ability to move them around like regular guys and I've had to reload games in the days of yore because they didn't arrive at the base correctly and there was no way to command them to come home. As long as they have various paperclip lacerations, injured nerds'll just be floating around like ghosts who still take up living space and money. The Cubelodyte posted:Some pretty grim poo poo IMO. I feel like we're behind in just about every sphere. disagree. If we hadn't pushed our agents so far we would be totally fine in ground combat. Bringing 12 guys can be as effective as 8 guys who are better equipped. Course that would be half our stock of dudes going out ever missn. On the other hand in the first early missions I would only bring 6, until someone got hypermurdered. Who had the glass bones? Sammus. The mission sammus died was the one where I started bringing a lot more guys per mission because we were drastically outnumbered. So I guess you can notice there's a pattern here. We can't go around bringing 36 agents to every mission.

Right so Chicken & Protag catch up the the blue guy. This would be perfect for psi because we have line of sight but our aim is not that great and we don't have anything that can pierce shields easily, except for stun gas. But that guy just strolled through so maybe they're developing some kind of resistance. Also there's not going to be a reliable way to get the gas down to him, take a look at what I mean: https://i.imgur.com/uATpOyK.gifv the topology is a bit more complex than a regular screenshot might show. On the flipside, snot is able to run around the inferno and recover the brainsucker pods before they hatch.  There's still one loaded in the brainsucker launcher itself, but as long as that guy doesn't wake up and fire it it won't be able to get out. I have Fart kill the sleeping yellow guy. A grenade could take out the whole drat squad at this point. Not worth the risk. https://i.imgur.com/UDKpk4C.gifv It wasn't a worry anyway.  https://i.imgur.com/hjpkURr.gifv Well great fuckin work guys. If the car runs out of gas I dunno if it'll blow up or what. It turns out that motorcycle belongs to Nutrivend too. They've gone full hostile (last incursion damaged a farm) but I don't think it'll matter.
