Right so y'all just fucking surf into that burning clusterfuck atop bumrush of murderous teddies. Okay so right out the gate the one in front immediately catch fire. A few more get mowed down by buckshot. There's four units directly to your left, Janitors A through to D working to try and stem the tide. Making a fighting retreat and covering the sprinting F, Janitors E, G, and H are further ahead to the right. F's about to raise the alarm, the squad to the left is a concern for the horde but Dancer's adversarial systems should keep them at bay for now. It's obvious who to target.

With that in mind Bogosort-chan proceeds to immediately fireball the everloving fuck out of the left squad. Fire and fury thunder from her hands, embers filling the air so thickly that the flames burning the teddies actually freeze, the system unable to support both them and the Bogosort's unoptimized particle effects

A teddy dressed in a messenger's uniform sprints inside, letter in hand. A message from the front! It's as you've observed, four units either side. Automatic shotguns and highly mobile, though being forced to retreat There's one on the right side readying to raise an alarm, and the left flank is covering them as their squad makes a break for it, towards some sort of archway at the front. Apparently it's red, rectangular, and topped with a guillotine blade.

You could probably rush them now, though the fire is a bit of an issue given that it's bloated further thanks to the steady stream of teddies being thrown into the meat grinder. Plus you'd probably catch some stray buckshot unless you breach through real quickly. Alternatively you could have TTB amass her reinforcements into a single unit and send them crashing through in a coordinated charge. The delay should be enough to let the flames die down and the greater organization should make the assault swift and crushing... if you can make it in time with that delay.

The Janitors to the left move to dive away from the barrage, or at least they would if they weren't aiming down at Dancer just half a dozen ticks ago. Yeah funny thing about Dancer's movements = they're informed by an adversarial system, watching those movements? They're enough to introduce latency, and latency is the last thing you want with four fireballs bearing down at you. So yeah, squad's entirely annihilated, the wrong fucking squad.

Dancer follows up by rushing forward, stuttering dance turning into the flowing movements of capoeira, kicking E in the face and sending it sprawling on the ground. F, G, and H start leaking and slowing from trying to draw a bead on her, but having seen the fate that befell their allies, they're a little quicker on averting their eyes - not a tick too late either, one last fireball scorches the earth G just occupied.

It's close quarters combat now. Dancer's leading a forlorn hope into the midst of the squad, Teddy and Bogosrt are riding the hordes behind her, and a little further back, a little further away, Janitor F has just sent its packet.

Guess you're going loud now.

E is getting back up, G is kicking up a fallen Teddy's sword and tossing their shotgun's magazine near Dancer. H is firing at said magazine, and F is trying to draw a bead on Bogosort.

Just behind them is the way out of this node and deeper into this network, a white torii gate, topped with a massive guillotine blade. That's where you'll be headed next, and most likely where reinforcements will be coming from.

The system is now alerted, meaning reinforcements are on their way. That doesn't mean you shouldn't worry about enemies sending messages out anymore though - they can still send out combat data and your location. Avoid alerts from coming out and the system could very well lose you, remaining on higher alert and reinforcing its security but being unable to actively hunt you down.

Also, it would appear that these foes are more vulnerable to attack that breach their suits like edged weaponry and blasts.

"That again?" The Dancer will attempt to zip out of proximity from the magazine, heading over to attempt to cover Bogosort. Namely, dance circles around her.

Use Fleeting star [3] to get out of range of the magazine, and ask Bogosort whether we can have this dance. If Powder and Rag don't post, Bogosort fireball (randomly of course), and Teddy Breach summon teddy bears, and charge down the remaining janitors with them? Not sure what else now that the alarm has been sounded, maybe prepare to breach past the guillotine.

Well, as came no doubt as a shock to everyone, Bogosort's erudite command had somehow failed to achieve all of the team's objectives, and now they were going to have to fight a lot louder. That was bad, Bogosort-chan thought! But, still, that wouldn't mean that she would stop trying to get things done, because she was Bogosort-chan, and she was going to be very helpful!! In this case, though, since her fire was slowing things down a lot, and since one of the bad guys was in fact about to shoot her, Bogosort-chan made a more complex decision for once, and decided to break out a method she had not before!

Bogosort-chan advances towards the remaining Janitors, to get a line of sight on them, and casts a Method Value Rearrangement, before then casting non-method versions of it repeatedly! Alteration 2 to a 4.

Oh hey they're loud now.

That made things simpler.

The Breach continues to disgorge bears, giving them a secondary objective of gathering as many weapons as possible given that a teddy bear rocket jumping around with a shotgun most of the size of the entire rest of its body was a lot more dangerous than a teddy normally can manage.

Then she directs them to continue murdering any security programs that remain.

Unfortunately, there were no collapsible shovels nearby, so the Gardeners were missing their most important piece of equipment, but just being able to launch themselves around like fucking lunatics would have to do. Recon, at least.

Bearpocalypse. Tell the bears to gather any weapons dropped by enemies they can, to convert some into a highly mobile squad of shotgun-jumping lunatic bears.
