Right so let's give 2 hander a shot: https://i.imgur.com/Zj78zUq.gifv that was fuckin close HBar's the only guy with a flightsuit. https://i.imgur.com/uIYGXTe.gifv We start searching and coincidentally HBar is the one to make the next contact: https://i.imgur.com/9OVcSVP.gifv Easy enough.   They might have aliens in another building too, but I dunno if it's really worth checking out.

Let's take a look at the church. Bots driving ikanreed blow away some bullshit car of theirs right as we get to the door. Turns out none of their buildings have any aliens in them though. Their infiltration has apparently progressed past "aliens sleeping on the couch" to "multiple brainsucked guys" Do we want to just raid them? y/n if nobody votes in like a half hour i'll pull the trigger anyway.

Function: Temple of Sirius S1: Fart Puzzle, xsuperkidx, poverty goat, HBar, Markoff Chaney S2: Cobra Lionfist, Molothecat, Powerful Two-Hander, SnotGrumble, the littlest prince gently caress I just realized HBar only has a missile launcher and dart gun, and there's no aliens. Whelp. We load into one of their sunken prayer zones. S1 will move to the next room, S2 will check the basement. They beat us to the punch, but aren't that effective. PG even gets a snipe in. https://i.imgur.com/WrKONSV.gifv Cobra follows up. https://i.imgur.com/YXTbR8t.gifv HBar has been lugging around ElectricSheep's personal engraved rocket launcher all game. Time to loving use it. https://i.imgur.com/M5GAcaR.gifv Eh, took out a guy but also blew up all the loot. And only killed one guy. We still got ammo tho. We spread out and catch some guys, but I gently caress up and leave some of our own dudes exposed. The most severely injured on this turn is our arch nemesis, the drapes. https://i.imgur.com/dCkMoMV.gifv We keep pushing but now I want to avoid blowing up large amounts of loot if we can, so we kinda just shoot and throw grenades. Use some psi. It's moderately effective, we accidentally blew up something big. Chaney actually shot thru the wall to get to combat, but it's not in the shot: https://i.imgur.com/KeEX9Jm.gifv They mostly freak, but not completely. It's not to the point where we need to sweep up the losers quite yet. https://i.imgur.com/rTgXXKU.gifv https://i.imgur.com/yij6T9J.gifv https://i.imgur.com/VvKe66u.gifv

VikingofRock posted:Oh man I had no idea that when aliens infiltrate enough, you lose the ability to detect that infiltration in an investigation. Attack! Yup. Infiltration I think counts all the guys in all their buildings that count as alien. So like a sicknasty egg or arthropod counts towards infiltration. But so do brainsucked people. We have no way to differentiate normal humans from brainsucked humans. They're exactly the same except one is actually an alien and will dedicate everything to making sure the aliens win 👾 2 spoopy~ *** We didn't get poo poo for loot. A handful of guns and ammo. No psiclones. Nobody got hurt and the shields worked really well, except much of the shield damage we got happened from our own explosions. Poverty goat is now our most decorated soldier, but doesn't have the most kills.   Right. So I think we're mostly caught up vs infiltration. We could potentially do a sensovision mission. you guys wanna do that? Time to fast forward, see how research ends up?

They're exactly the same except one is actually an alien and will dedicate everything to making sure the aliens win 👾 2 spoopy~ This is one of the reasons why I prefer to keep infiltration as low as possible, even with our enemies. I don't know of any way to combat brainsuckin' that happens outside of combat (the solution at that point is murder). Depending on how things go there are events that could spiral this poo poo outta control. IIRC there's entries in the game for a lot of weird equipment that's deactivated, stuff like: Tracker Gun Tracker Gun Clip Multi Tracker PSI Grenade ForceWeb Dimension Distabilizer Gun Dimension Force Field Alien Detector But if you change the gamefiles to turn them back on they tend to glitch out / crash the game. A lot of that would probably have helped in the actual investigation aspect they wanted to do that is mostly removed and pared down to combat missions. There are some things that are in the game and do work but you can't buy them and can only get them through raids. There were other rumors too, like there could be more than one city and all kinds of crap like that. Early screenshots had guys climbing and grappling up walls and poo poo, in fact I think some might have even been on the box but I lost that years ago. You were supposed to be able to get a little popper action figure that I never did and am still a little bitter about. e: also some other poo poo that's supposedly still in Zorium - Listed on the game files. Most likely some sort of energy source. Dimension Shifter Structure Probe Vortex Analyser some of those are probably reworked into stuff that you can actually get. The process to turn any of this on or off seems a little bit arcane. SniperWoreConverse fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Feb 16, 2018 |

So we fast forward. Engineering gets done with some toxin ammo. Chill, Walrus, and Taint are pretty much healed up, but most of the bots are still busted. Dimension Probe is 94% done, we should be able to just--  Alert -- Warehouse Six Owner: Government. Function: Warehouse. S1: Fart Puzzle, xsuperkidx, poverty goat, HBar, Markoff Chaney S2: Cobra Lionfist, Molothecat, Powerful Two-Hander, SnotGrumble, the littlest prince This is near the Evonet buildings. Looks like we didn't catch them all.

ikan reed blows up yet another car. this is gonna be anoter pita mission HBar is able to check out almost all the first floor on the west side. There's a second floor on that half only, and there's a basement. We did a mission here earlier where a bunch of aliens escaped, that was the mission where Chill sat in the basement repeatedly electrocuting worms the whole time. Because nobody can fly in S2, I have Cobra check out the gantry on the second floor. The east room is basically completely empty, at least above ground. Molo & 2 Hander, and Snot & Prince split off and head for the basement. West side will be more complex. Fart & Chaney check the upper room. Superkid & Goat head to the basement & make contact with some chrysalises. Turning the corner: https://i.imgur.com/opInkwP.gifv A mild botch, but they don't really recover. https://i.imgur.com/5pTQCbv.gifv The east side of the building is alien-free, and the upper west part is too. They've all got to be in the basement, so I move everyone to positon. or so I thought. gently caress.  Not sure what Snot's gonna do to get outta this one. The only thing he has that won't blow up the popper is a stun grenade. I could have him just stun himself but if it blows up nearby he's gonna get fuuuuucked uuuuup. There's no way to wake up sleeping guys, no way to cure their wounds except for just ending the mission. No one else has any time. He's on his own. poo poo, I forgot to even give him stun gas. gently caress. https://i.imgur.com/OOmRyEp.gifv lol what the poo poo, somehow the popper got confused by the smoke, ran right past Snot, and then blew it's load when it realized he was near. Because it wasn't directly on top of him it didn't even break the shield. Amazing. Superkid sees that one of the blues woke back up & takes care of it. https://i.imgur.com/KPwniyd.gifv I have Cobra run down to take out the spitter, but it's moved somewhere else. We do some sweeps. Nothin. I have PG move to get upstairs, and we spot another popper: https://i.imgur.com/ewQHT5a.gifv Where the gently caress did this spitter sneak off to?? Hopefully it's the last guy and they didn't have fuckin yellows floating around where nobody could see. https://i.imgur.com/K5Q5NRG.gifv Guess not!

the littlest prince posted:love that progress bar at the bottom btw Yeah sometimes it sucks poo poo trying to figure out what the gently caress is happening. Thinking it would help. Also gonna try some different codecs or w/e to cut down on file size. I think some of these things aren't loading right but it's a huge pain in the rear end to try and reupload them / gently caress with them after the fact.  man if all missions go this smooth we have a good chance to just roll these scumbags. ikanreed is basically killing all organic lifeforms every time bots go to or from any building. We got a few alien guns and shields. Nothing else from that mission that matters. There are no more stun grenades available on the market, so that sucks balls. Same with psi amps. *** Infiltration Report:  Not many changes, except our mission in Evonet didn't really work. Also Sensovision will need some kind of intervention at some point. Probably gonna have to hit the Cult again too. *** Physics:  finally, a real serious breakthrough. This thing looks like it's ready to gently caress up some UFOs, IMOs. One decent size weapon slot, but no equipment or people. No engines, so no fuel. Possibly better than what we have now, depending on what gun we socket in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN9tulBHr8Y We load into the room where Who What Now got ambushed and murdered last time, iirc. Cobra makes contact. Fuckin brainsuckers. Double team them with Fart. https://i.imgur.com/EiPPRgI.gifv We see a snake but it doesn't see us. Hbar is able to take it out then fade back a little. Don't want to overcommit. Because nobody has a sensor I have everyone else check rooms for now. https://i.imgur.com/38sfDTK.gifv It's not a full map this time, so we're able to cover much of it within only a few turns.  Def more snakes. In fact Cobra makes contact again: https://i.imgur.com/hxOEjSK.gifv 2Hander spots a chrysalis and ignores it. Molo finds some spitters in the last apartment: https://i.imgur.com/gHqZ4SF.gifv Everyone converges. Superkid is the noobest guy near the door, so like loving cat parents tell him to come back with bodies and we shove him into the apartment https://i.imgur.com/LIyJrTg.gifv  Basically a flawless mission. I think guns for tits might need some combat training, unless we really start chucking our new guys into carnage situations. This would really hurt Psi development tho...

I figure Evonet has some buildings right next to each other, and they're also right near where a recent alert was, so it wouldn't hurt to do a quick check up. Plus I don't think we've done a mission in a turd factory yet. ikanreed blows up so much poo poo I just turn the gun off this is getting ridiculous. Investigation -- Cityclean Two Owner: Evonet. Function: Sewage Works S1: Fart Puzzle, xsuperkidx, Cobra Lionfist, Hbar, Markoff Chaney S2: Molothecat, Powerful Two-Hander, SnotGrumble, the littlest prince, guns for tits We keep running the same teams over and over because these are our healthy guys with the least kills. I swear to god every game of the olden days had a sewer level, and somehow they were all similar.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B_9aOdyjew Super Kid makes contact:  https://i.imgur.com/FJ79rta.gifv So does Markoff, but I overextended...  Hbar's mindwaves fail, and the toxin gun is only partly effective. https://i.imgur.com/EjT8pUj.gifv Sure, we could have just shot a rocket, but I was worried it'd cause some kind of cave-in or chain reaction with these feeble catwalks. Evonet doesn't really produce anything we want, but if they get all pissy it'd be a pain in the rear end. Fart can't get a bead on the fucker. Cobra is too slow. We don't have enough gas to spam it, and there may be more brainsuckers. https://i.imgur.com/o9eOhC2.gifv I would have had Chaney drop smoke, but it won't work, he's standing on a lift and it would just hotbox the room under him. https://i.imgur.com/SDsag36.gifv Holy gently caress, that would have killed half our team without shields. We were able to tank it without any real damage at all. I have HBar take out the one, but I forgot to let him get reloaded. https://i.imgur.com/rC5uexB.gifv Dunno what the deal is with this. Maybe the game's glitched or they've developed hacks. I have superkid and prince split off to try and flank. Everyone else takes cover or position or w/e https://i.imgur.com/Lv4OmS5.gifv They have their own missiles now!? It doesn't do anything?? https://i.imgur.com/honVuer.gifv Whatever the gently caress is going on they apparently have much more advanced tech than realized. We can't land poo poo on them. https://i.imgur.com/LZrcSEu.gifv well, Molo can be relied on it I guess. We try one more with Fart, but this isn't the end of the mission. https://i.imgur.com/khKQ3W3.gifv I'm gonna guess they're either hiding in gas still, or in the room underneath. Superkid gets there but it's empty. I had Snot running wide sweeps but he doesn't find anything. https://i.imgur.com/xrqd5WL.gifv This was a hosed up mission. I don't know what's happening with that poo poo. Hopefully none of them escaped, seeing as they were hanging out right by the exits. We got a substantial amount of equipment so they probably have some hardcore new poo poo.
