UFOs. We're able to do some damage but not a huge shitload. They drop two alien slurm ropes:

    Pick an Investigation Target:
  1. Warehouse Five. Owner: Osiron. Function: Warehouse.
  2. Car One. Owner: General Metro. Function: Car Factory.
Obviously we'll hit both but if you wanna see a particular one first go ahead and shoot.
PS if ur an agent and want a mega alien rocket launcher speak up, otherwise they're staying home till the next mission.

I vote 2. first just to see what the aliens want with a car factory. Then back to the bio labs to work on improved space drugs.

I took one for the team going into biology.

I’m too combustible for that.

Shoulda held out and waited for the alien rocket launcher and crossed my fingers in hopes of not firing it off while holding it backward.

Bad choices ITT (my choices.)

Tftd is hard as gently caress, or at least was to me aged 11. Maybe because I didn't realise agents had skill ratings so made no effort to allocate weapons to people that could use them best.

TFTD was hard as hell because UFO had a bug that reset difficulties to beginner no matter what difficulty you chose to start with. So as a result of feedback that even the 'superhuman' difficulty level was too easy, they increased the difficulty on TFTD based on a bug. :v:

“Never anger HR,” is an important lesson to learn. Add in that I’d still be saddled with nerd stats and the most likely outcome is that I get sent into the alien dimension dressed like Devo and “armed” with a vintage Hasbro Ghostbusters toy set whose only crime is having way too many scratches to be sold on interstellar Ebay.

I’ll stick with my pipettes.

you sure you wanna take the psiclone? Once you do it your stats will be all wacked out and there will be no way to get them back to normal. Also ignore the equipment I somehow hosed it up so you have the same equips as Honkey Dong and I need to fix that before poo poo gets weird. I dunno if it will duplicate the equipment or if you guys are locked into some kind of quantum entanglement zone where each ones changes impact the other.

You can still back out of the process before it's too late and go back to bio if u want

I tried to figure out if there was a guy who was in that building but I can only pull hex numbers and would have to go back and cross reference them against every building on the map so you're in as a decent all rounder



also we have enough guys that we're running out of space and so I build more in the third base

going to be able to build ships a lot faster pretty soon. I hosed up and didn't pay attention so it'll be below capacity for a few days but w/e

It will take time for these new guys to make it to the base and geared up so they're laid off this mission and will go to the warehouse one

nah you should be alive still
it'll take me a little while to do the HR paperwork to sort these guys and get them where they need to be, I hosed up and never built enough facilities and this whole time we were at like 99% capacity.

It'd be better to order all the stuff before pulling the trigger for the mission just so it's a clean break and by the time the guys get home we can launch the second one with the noobs but also I gently caress up the time estimates extremely hopefully within the next 6 hours but maybe 12 or 72 or some poo poo the post will come up

I think you only had one mission it might have been the dimension attack? I mean you sorta suck but everyone starts out lovely or as a robot. You have kills.

nah there was the first dimension jump that got us a toehold on research to attack them, then the first real attack mission where we barely got back alive. No one has died offworld yet. Btw:

I somehow never ended up recruiting you even tho you posted on page one so we will do this now

Currently p high speed, this rivals some of the androids, basically ur an olympic sprinter but kind of cowardly. Even if the galaxy space drugs gently caress you up bad you'll probably still be relatively quick or at least not cripplingly slow.

Currently there are some p good muties ready to join, you are the most highly qualified. It's sort of a risk to use a good quality agent for psyclones but you could well end up a psionic god

For you, you're already psionically better off than some of the vets were when they began. Big Beef City started off worse, but with these stats you may be able to surpass even him. He's more brain attack oriented but your guy will eventually end up as essentially impregnable to mind control.
You can keep these stats or roll with the space drugs, I'll deal with all that poo poo after this mission.
