"Oh, he's going to be a fleshy abomination, we just don't know which type, or whether or not he's going to be hostile."

[Radio Controlled]

((Quickly posting placeholder action from phone in case I don't get to a regular computer in time. Again.))

Give cutter to Jim, he should be able to carry it. Mark anomalous areas on map and ask Steve if and how we should deal with those. Then ask him if he has an idea on how the UWM would go about their invasion. Let team fan out and continue mapping the area while Steve is talking.

((I was going to do most of the planning once my team went down so that Miya would have something to do while waiting. Can't hurt to start early I guess.))

[Caellath]

Keep following Jim's team.

Not at all. If you rated me from 1 to 6, I would have a rating of -1.

Go to Jim's combat team because bringing the shapeshifter to the biological amp overload area is a good idea.

Follow me, new meat.

[Devastator]

"Steve said I'm to join Jim's team."  Fall into line.

[piecewise]

Throw rocks at the shadow pillar anomaly.
Be sad that I don't get a flamethrower.

You throw rocks at the shadow pillar. Unfortunately you miss because IT IS MILES AWAY.

"Ugh. A shadow anomaly. Let's hope it isn't connected to the abyss. Don't want to get trampled to paste by a wyrm."

Take a look at the anomalies from a distance. Certainly don't poke them.

Spoiler: Gorat 'Chin' Ivanos (click to show/hide)

Str 3; Dex 3; End 3; Cha 7; Int 4; Wil 15//Spe 0; Int 1; Han 0 (-1); Con 1; Unc 0; Exo 9; Aux 3 (+1); Med 0
Mk II Suit; Microwave PK Amp; laser rifle; 3 tokens: normal cigarettes; blue smokes; datapad (with platformer shooter); nanoghosts; shock trigger (with Maurice for the mission)
Appearance: 5'11'', 170 pounds in a rather unmuscular frame, shoulder-long brown hair, short goatee, brown eyes, a rather long chin that earned him his nickname. Age 32
Half a robot foot. Robot right arm.

The shadow pillar resembles a giant waterspout made of india ink that sort of flickers into and out of existence depending on how you look at it, like some sort of weird magic eye poster.

((Anyone mind if I take squad leader for the amp cleanup team? SC has said he's going to be too busy to post much.))

((Fine by me.))

Follow Jim unless someone else takes charge, in which case follow them. Glance at nametags of suits to learn teammates' names.
Felix looks at the flamethrowers in Morul's hands. "I assume those flamethrowers are for the squad, and not just yourself? I'll take one, if so. Felix Grant, ex-soldier, by the way."
Get a flamethrower from Morul if he doesn't object. Familiarize myself with the weapon, keep flamethrower at the ready once we leave the 'safe' area. (Acquire dynamic bonus.)

You grab one of the three flamethrowers and get yourself acquainted with the trigger and flow modulator.  It seems fairly simple.

Follow Miyamoto man.

FOLLOWING!

You go put the cutter down where it's needed and then talk to steve.

>Just go check if they're dangerous or just weird. If dangerous, we'll put some orange cones around them or something.

>As per that invasion; we've got a ton of laser cannon batteries around the planet to prevent them from just flying in and nuking us, so they're probably gonna try and come in where there's the least amount of overlap in their coverage and hotdrop forces in. Luckily I know where those places are, so we can plan for it. Or, we can attempt to make the coverage of the laser batteries more complete. It might limit the number coming down,  but they also might lead their assault with hotdrop ships armed with nukes and that could get messy.

Keep following Jim's team.

You lean against Jim's big, unmoving form and yawn.

Consider yourself there and idling, like the rest.

"Steve said I'm to join Jim's team."  Fall into line.

See above.


Also yeah, someone should probably take over jim, or at least his command duties, otherwise that team is gonna be idling for a long ass time.

[Xantalos]

Morul. I require either my knife back or one token for it after we get back. Just to note.

Take point with Morul. Stay vigilant.

((Maybe I should be named Smaug for now?))

[kisame12794]

((Okay, since no one objected to me being squad leader, and no one else seems to want it, I'll take it.))

"Okay, who here is going on the amp cleanup team? State your name, and what you're good at. And just a note, the large thing talking to me is on our side. Tempting as it may be, don't cook him. And we'll figure out the knife later. I'd hand it to the AM for safe keeping, but she's gone missing."

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Maybe I should be named Smaug for now?))

((When/Where was the final description of the form you took posted? Or was it assumed you succeeded?))

[Xantalos]

Xan. Amp specialist. Shapeshifter; this form is durable and breathes flame. Very well, I merely require compensation for it.

((Maybe I should be named Smaug for now?))

((When/Where was the final description of the form you took posted? Or was it assumed you succeeded?))

((Assumed I succeeded.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((How about Smaun? Or Xaug?))

[Xantalos]

((Hell yeah Xaug.))

[Devastator]

"I'm Leo, and I have a gun and a banjo.  I'm okay at everything except medical help, and I don't cause massive overshoots whenever doing anything hard."

[Radio Controlled]

((Okay, since no one objected to me being squad leader, and no one else seems to want it, I'll take it.))

((Well, normally I'd say to announce it IC, but since the need for a new squad leader is player absence in the first place... Yeah, just go for it. Good luck.))

((By the way, I'm mostly going to be talking to Steve so the rest of my team gets a chance to do something besides mindlessly staying in follow mode. Unless they want me to check out certain anomalies first of course.

I'll try not to ask too many questions at once, but if I do, just tell me to slow down.))

"Hey Steve, those laser cannon batteries, are those configured for anti-spaceship duty only, or could they also be used to shoot missiles out of the sky? And what about dropships doing evasive maneuvers, could they handle that?

About not nuking us: once they realize they won't be taking back their planet from us, how probable is it they'll nuke us anyways, just to spite us? And if they decide to just start saturation-bombing this area with kinetic weapons from beyond our laser cannon range, what do we do against that?

Oh, and what do you plan on doing with the Sword when they come? Leave it in it's cradle, or take it into space? It'll be vulnerable either way I'm afraid, but from a good position in space it might be able to bring its guns to bear once the UWM ships are tied up by the planet-bound cannons."

Talkies to Steve.

Shit I wasted perfectly good rocks.
Get the rocks back.
