Cobra Lionfist posted:Hire some more agents and if nothing urgent lets wait till shields are deoloyed before anymore raids etc. Also put me on the agent list. In. You're Ex-Diablo. Arrived from one of the most hosed up caved in buildings in the city. Tried to avoid combat, but it's not possible. Gotta take this one, it's an alert -- someone noticed aliens and called the cops. Without these guys medkits are gone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpAALWXypEs Alien Alert -- Edifice Tower Owner: Nanotech. Function: Corporate HQ. S1: Fart Puzzle, xsuperkidx, poverty goat, William Henry Hairytaint S2: Cobra Lionfist, Chillgamesh, mind the walrus, the littlest prince Somehow I hosed up the screen cap and didn't show the ride over. Doesn't really matter, it's like one block down from the last mission. This zone is gonna be a hotbed. In between where the drops happened and the cult.  this map is loving huge, it's gonna be a long rear end mission.  or maybe not? Taint does the mind control thing.  kinda hard to show it, but there's one very close to us, and another one further down in that other building. https://i.imgur.com/pmS2aGQ.gifv fuckin weak rear end bitch can't throw for poo poo. I think I should have tried to mindwave the other one, because i'm not sure what it had it there might be brainsuckers itching to hatch. Another interesting thing is they don't have shields for some reason. I have this guy drop his gun too. https://i.imgur.com/Xjfe23W.gifv holy mother gently caress that's a lot of guys. That's a number of aliens. They must be loving. Gonna leave it at this cliffhanger and come back later. drat.

The higher ups decided to promote me to the rank of squaddie. God, what a shitshow. I can't help but feel responsible for their deaths. If only I were a better shot, maybe some of them would still be alive. anyways, we really need to stock up on dudes, so lets go for option 2

Ok, so lets kill some aleums Fart puzzle carefully takes aim: https://i.imgur.com/MUcuo73.gifv Well. We'll take it. Superkid, you're up: https://i.imgur.com/wZokAiz.gifv We have enough toxin so that most guys have a sidearm for situations like this, or circumventing shields. We don't have enough ammo to really main it though. I have SK peer though the door, but his masterclass aim falters and Fart comes in as backup. So far so good. The snake version of moonwalking doesn't do poo poo. https://i.imgur.com/wMqAOuG.gifv Looking back @ S2, Prince spots that popper. I want to try and get a blue guy brainwaved tho. https://i.imgur.com/S1wwvJa.gifv Nice, but this was wasteful. We could have probably killed at least one more blue guy if I had just left it in his hand and had him shoot somebody first. Also Nanotech is gonna be pissed we blew a hole in one of their fancy pyramids. The only easy way in or out would to break through some window now. I try to have walrus sneak up and do a repeat, but he's just too slow so I have him throw some smoke. Next part is mostly some shuffling guys around to hopefully get a good defensive posture. The aliens apparently do the same on their turn. PG runs up and leers through a broken window: https://i.imgur.com/x7qRuqy.gifv If I knew it was a pro baseball pitch I would have aimed for the corner, it might have caught everything except the spitter and whatever's still unrevealed. The gas didn't work. It's not strong enough to completely conk them out, but they do take some stun damage. S was able to kill one and stun the other. Fart & Taint clear out the dumb ones in that basement office. I think there's a single blue left. https://i.imgur.com/k7yCj91.gifv Time to breach the basement. End this thing. https://i.imgur.com/Dm8xtWM.gifv poo poo? We gotta find this guy before it runs. Prince checks out the other basement. Nothing but books. One of the chrysalises dies from the old blast damage. It must've been leaking for some time. I have the guys run around for like ten more turns. We cover the entire map and we can't find them. I have Chill slice open the last chrysalis for kicks. I figure it has to be a blue guy who's panicked. Somehow, somewhere it's hiding where we can't see it. I was wrong.  All our guys are fanned out through the entire map.  If I leave Taint like this he'll probably get killed. https://i.imgur.com/pGIeXQH.gifv The civvies continue to freak out for no reason, and that's the end of it. I figured he'd just pass out and they'd ignore him. I didn't think that he'd not only completely resist the stun, but knock out both of whatever those fuckers were. Two worms? Two somethins. Great work, nobody got even injured. Perfect mission imo. It was because they had no shields though. That would have turned the whole thing around I think.

 If it hadn't taken so long I bet we would have gotten a better rating. But gently caress that, as long as everyone comes home safe it's good to me. We got a ton of worthless aliens and some artifacts. Lets look at the stats:  Let's check out infiltration:  yep, makes sense. Just did nanotech, Evonet is the recycling plant where the 2nd drop was, Sensovision & government is near where that nanotech mission was. Dunno what kind of effect the mission I hosed up at Nutrivend had.

Engineering finishies another toxin run, and the medical bay finishes in our second base. Guys should get healed pretty quick now, so the downtime from botched missions won't be as bad. This is good because we're going to have to hit the cult soon.  Diablo finally fell off the chart.  get bent, imo. We couldn't pay this if we wanted to. *** We have some decent physicists available now. We could easily hire enough to staff the old lab full of non retards if we wanted. Well, it would be like 3/5 non-retarded.  
Hire more physicists? y/n If we have more guys we could do more than one project at once, but the second topic one will go slower. Still faster (and more expensive) than not doing it.

Oh yeah, we had recovered literally the exact required amount of shields for every living agent. Here's our three highest decorated agents:    There's a bit of a purple heart factor I think. Some guys got a medal even though their claim to fame is taking 99 damage 3 missions in a row. It also seems to favor murder. Maybe long terms of service, but I dunno, if you're in long enough you'll get enough kills. I still need to buy more gas grenades and some other stuff like plasma ammo. Many of our guys are too bogged down with weight and I think i'll have to redo some loadouts before our next mission. If you want a specific loadout speak up, we only have one guy on radar and 2 with stun grapples. HBar is the only guy with the big launcher, and we only have one sniper as well. We also have a bunch of different guns ready including the minilauncher that I put down when Senekr got killed.

For research, is the Alien beam weapon (pube gun) that long rifle-looking one? I like the Pube rifle since it appears to do a lot more damage than the smaller pube gun, perhaps even able to one-shot a few tougher enemies. If so I vote for the pube-rifle. Have we researched alien grenades, yet? Those should also be good damage-dealers. Our flying guys would basically turn into A-10 Warthogs with Pube rifles, alien grenades and personal shields.

Yeah, it's a heavy, big weapon that belts out extremely powerful disruptor beams. Our guys have been killed by it glancing off their toes before (rip Sammus). And nope on the alien grenade, Psyke cracked the code before we even started on it. Technically it counts as a proximity mine.

Nice work, bro. *offers fist* Anywho. Most of those physics projects sound boring and gay so I say we should work on the gun so our guys can kick some rear end out there, and then also the prob so we can go to their school and beat them up over there too. I know we had a bad game recently, so we need to bring up team morale. And I say we do that by doing what we do best: blowing up cultist buildings.

Alright, enough fuckin around. We got Eight-Six, used to work for Osiron as a physicist. Now head of pube analysis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0rgtxLF-B0 https://i.imgur.com/EuibupN.gifv Investigation -- Recyclotorium One: Owner: Evonet. Function: Recyclotorium S1: Fart Puzzle, xsuperkidx, poverty goat, HBar, Markoff Chaney S2: Cobra Lionfist, Molothecat, Powerful Two-Hander, SnotGrumble, the littlest prince I don't think I've ever done a recycletorium before. Looks like it's gonna be a tight mission, close quarters.  Jesus are those bodies mixed in with the trash??  Superkid makes contact: https://i.imgur.com/YyEJjTG.gifv The fucker disappears though. We steadily move forward. https://i.imgur.com/foceBTG.gifv dunno if HBar or some noob from the other squad took it out. Either way it was pretty close. I decided to have him float over the corner and uuuuh  Mind control fails, it's too close for missiles, and I don't have him carrying regular grenades for weight reasons. Time to bail https://i.imgur.com/aiV4mNT.gifv Cobra wastes half a clip but is able to take that guy out. Still a few more. Prince is able to use some woo beams to take a loot at a remaining guy. Seems pretty well armed.  https://i.imgur.com/eayBHa3.gifv I have superkid run up, there's an insane shitton of alien guns and grenades and poo poo, but no brainsuckers. He runs into the popper. https://i.imgur.com/HoXAtch.gifv

  So some little improvements, another good mission. As I was typing this we shot some missiles at a Nutrivend car, missed, and blew up much of our own base:  little bit too close for comfort. We got 4 shields, a couple disruptors and the rest are mystery artifacts. Now new biological samples. Not enough time has really passed to change the infiltration graph. Engineering has finished a run. Lately we've been doing toxin ammo. Do we want to change up to anything else? I think anything we sell could potentially be used by someone else but dunno how that really works. According to my calcs, toxiguns are the best use of time. Make almost 50¢ an hour on those bad boys.

Engineering: 4. Crank out that toxin B ammo. Get enough for 2 extra clips for everyone, and then keep cranking it out. The next time you do real time, it will burn tons of ammo, but aliens will drop like flies against the onslaught of our toxic hailstorm. Next: 2c or 2d. Also, I’m pretty sure you can double up shields in an agent’s backpack. When one gets drained, the other takes its place. It makes an agent nigh-invulnerable.

yeah, but doesn't it break if it drains to zero? Good for a fallback if we are able to recover like 30, but unless the first shield cracks then it's dead weight imo. Probably good if someone gets into a hosed up situation. e: new loadout i'm switching everyone to is 2 shields in the backpack, 1 in the hand, and all grenades.

Physics update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxror-fnOL4 yeah I dunno how this is related to anything but don't stop pushing the frontiers of science I guess. Dimension probe is @ 7%, Pube gun is 1%. We'll keep up with the toxin. In 1 day the second workshop will be online, so if we get some decent engineers we may end up a little more financially independent. IIRC the dimension probe will probably be very expensive. If we can safely raid the cult then that'd help a lot. Let's double check diplomacy real quick: Allied: Government, Cops, Diablo Friendly: Osiron, SELF Neutral: everyone else mostly, including Psyke. Unfriendly: Transtellar, Nanotech Hostile: The Cult, Nutrivend. So Nanotech was not real pleased with how we blew up their fancy pyramid office. This sucks because these guys are the only way to get medkits, so if they go hostile we'd have to raid for medical supplies. Osiron is kinda surprising. It must've been that long fight with Psyke, + maybe alien damage? I don't know what their other relationships are like, maybe we hosed over someone else they dislike, or maybe they just think we're badasses? Transtellar also sucks, because if they go hostile it'll be annoying as gently caress to move stuff between the two bases. We'll see how that pans out. For now we'll take a look at Synthmesh. Sensovison is worse off, but it's close enough to probably not make a difference. Either will be types of buildings we've done before so eh  Investigation -- Construction One: Owner: Synthmesh. Function: Construction Factory. S1: Fart Puzzle, xsuperkidx, poverty goat, HBar, Markoff Chaney S2: Cobra Lionfist, Molothecat, Powerful Two-Hander, SnotGrumble, the littlest prince We load in, Molo & Prince instantly spot the fucks:  Prince goes for the mindwave, fucks it up, but is able to peer through and see the guy:  Don't like that grenade. Potentially could gently caress us all up. I try to get Molo to gun him, but it's not possible, the angle is too weird. Snot will save the day instead: https://i.imgur.com/aPS71Is.gifv Yeah that's going on the greatest hits track. I hope this isn't gonna be one of those missions. Might as well get me a cig and get ready.
