((I don't feel particularly safe considered my team name is team "Lemming".

Request that team name be changed to "Expendables"

Still better than lemmings, and confers our purpose on this mission!))

Yesssss

[piecewise]

"Ughh.... I just had those bones set........."

Hand the Knife over to Maurice if he wants to have a go at cutting our teammate out.

((Amp no. Stahp. Mah bones.))

"Maurice! Take knife! Help. Pirate needs heal badly."

Climb over to my broken and bleeding teammate, and bite him if he isn't receiving medical aid.
((I think I readied up a climbing dynamic bonus back when Morul fell, and I've just been sitting on it.))

[Dex:2+1]
You start to climb down, slip, freak out and then scramble back up to where you started.

((These are team layouts. If you wanna switch, find someone to switch with, work it out among yourselves and tell PW. Team nicknames chosen at 'random'. Sure, one could go for more conventional or cooler animals, but where's the fun in that?))

@ PW: these are my final teams for planet defense. Confirm?

Spoiler: Team layouts (click to show/hide)

Underlined: team leaders, I just picked whoever if it wasn't obvious who it ought to be, you can change this if there's consensus within that team. I don't expect a team leader to be any good at his job, roleplaying intense incompetence could be very !fun! after all, but I do hope team leaders to be semi-active at least.

Defense:
General objective: defend key areas from attack

Team A 'Ostrich': defend command post
-Simus
-Leo
-Charles
+ 1  Light Infantry Sod Squad

Team B 'Platypus': defend shipyard, artillery emplacements and the laser battery inside the valley/base (will be positioned sufficiently close to each other)
-Pancaek
-Jack   
-Stacy 
-Steve
+ 1 Steve bot/mission 7 bot


Assault
General objective: meet enemy head-on, do brunt of the fighting, prevent them from gaining foothold

Team C 'Anglerfish':
-Miyamoto
-Skylar
-Grate
+ 1  Light Infantry Sod Squad

Team D 'Marabou':
-Lars
-Felix
-Dubley
-Maurice
+ 1  Light Infantry Sod Squad

Team E 'Aye-aye':
-Gorat
-Thaddeus
-Teal
-Denzel
+ 1  Light Infantry Sod Squad

Team F 'Blobfish':
-Morul
-Xan
-Auron
-Lerman 
+ 1  Light Infantry Sod Squad
       

Reserve
General objective: Stay ready to respond to emergencies, exploit opportunities if possible

Team G 'Cassowary':
-Milno
-Anton
-Lyra
-Flint
-Feyri
-Jim
+ Steve bot/mission 7 bot
+ 2 Sod Sniper Squad    not really assigned to team G, but I put them here for convenience. These will provide back-up where needed.

Put Milno as team leader since Cael seems to be more active than SC. If neither of you wanna do it, there are plenty people in here who could.


Boarding
Board enemy ships, capture them intact once main battle is over
Note; will be divided into smaller teams once time comes depending on survivors

Team H 'Lemming':
-Xan -Felix -Pancaek -Jack -Lars -Auron -Grate -Dubley -Morul -Lyra -Thaddeus -Marceus -Leo -Skylar -Denzel -Flint -Maurice -Milno

Map coming at a later date, presumably.

(Gonna put this up quickly. If anyone still wants to change stuff, fine, but you'll have to arrange it with PW yourself.

@ PW: this is what we'll spend our RU on. Confirm?

Spoiler: RU expenditure Final list (click to show/hide)

• 1 extra laser battery: 100 RU to ensure full air cover
• 2 Steve bots/mission 7 bots: 2x25 = 50 RU one for extra defense of the batteries, one for Reserve team (or both for batteries, depends
• 2 laser battery defenses (one for the one we have, one for the one we'll build): 2x10 RU = 20 RU
• 2 heavy artillery: 2x30 = 60 RU for shelling enemy and ensuring they can't outgun us from range
• 6 mortars on rails: 6x 15 = 90 RU fire support, lower range but more bang per buck (rails ensure we don't waste resources placing mortars where they don't attack anyways
• 5 Light Infantry Sod Squad: 5x 50 = 250 main npc support, flexible enough to face most threats but cheap enough that losing a squad isn't the end of the world.

1x squad leader: Laser rifle, monorazor, comms pack (other troopers carry smaller comm devices), 1x frag nade, 1x smoke nade, general supplies (knife, an extra clip for rifle, binoculars, a flare, little bit of rations,... basically, stuff you'd expect a soldier to have
1x heavy weapons expert: rocket launcher (frag rounds (infantry), shaped charge rounds (heavy armor) and homing missile (aerial, think like a stinger), handlaser, metal baton, general supplies
1x support trooper: Laser rifle, 1 Emergency kit, metal baton, 1 scout eye, blowtorch, wirecutter, computer cables and small crap (basically this is medic/aux/handiwork support trooper, so i think you get the idea), general supplies
2x grenadier: Gauss rifle, special gauss ammo (1x redshot, 1x AP round), metal baton, 2x frag nades, 2x smoke nades, 1x EMP nades, 1x flashbang, some spare ammo for heavy, general supplies

• 2 Sod Sniper Squad: 2x 25 = 50 RU specialized npc's for ranged coverage (and more flexible and subtle than artillery, though not as powerful

Genemodded sods, at least one commander grade
1x sniper: Gauss rifle customised for ranged combat, special gauss ammo (3x AP, 2x Red shot, 1x melter round), handlaser, cameyes, stealth system (nothing too fancy, something like the spray-on adaptive camouflage), small jump pack for reaching difficult places, general supplies
1x spotter: Gauss rifle or shotgun, monorazor, cameyes, 1x smoke nade, 1x flashbang, ammo for the sniper rifle, stealth system, small jump pack, general supplies

• 10 remote imaging drones: 10x 3 = 30 RU
• 1 clankerbot weapon: 1x 15 = 15 RU
• planting bloater trees at the dropsite: 0 RU
• a bunker complex: a circle of 6 bunkers (90 RU), defending the base 'close to home'
• rocket pods for mobile reserve people: 10 RU
• shuttles: 235 RU, ask Sean/check his post for exact details.

Note that if the shuttles turn out not to cast 235 RU, then I'll just put any RU saved under mining the drop sites. I know they are budgetted at 250 RU right now, so just shave away until it works, mkay?

Gonna do teams next.

Copied and confirmed. I'll have to look at them all later. Probably this evening. Should be fine as long as everything adds up.

((Technically they were +3 dynamic bonuses, but yeah I was being cheesy.))

Cousin, if we were to proceed back to where our teammates are, would you attempt to halt us as you did before?

Ask flesh.

Flesh asked. Waiting for response.

((Sweet, Im part of team aye-aye! Maybe I should paint its face over my helmet to try and freak people out. Still not as good as a honey badger though.))

Keep waiting to pull people up. Talk to Teal while waiting.

So bub, what'd you do to get put into the HMRC/ARM?

[Nonchalant whistling intensifies.]

Take the knife and see to the injured teammate. Is he wearing Mk II? Does he need immediate extraction?
Kneeling above Morul for quick medical examination, Maurice cast a side glance to the approaching cat girl.
I believe biting through his suit in hostile environment might be the wrong idea.
((Team Marabou, good. Everyone knows names beginning with M bring good luck in ER. ))

You take the knife, and carefully stick it into your bag using some cloth so you don't touch it, even indirectly.

Maurice has no life threatening injuries but he does have damage to his back and legs; probably crushed vertebra. It would probably be a good idea to get him out of here before cutting starts; just in case cutting causes the sort of reaction that necessitates running. 

TRIPLEPASS

I'd hate to see Teal in that halfshirt neon orange suspender get up.

((I don't feel particularly safe considered my team name is team "Lemming".

Request that team name be changed to "Expendables"

Still better than lemmings, and confers our purpose on this mission!))

Wasn't the expendables kinda not very good as a series and mostly coasting on the fact it had a bunch of action stars in various stages of petrification?

[Xantalos]

((Yeah, just like our competence!))

Wait for flesh response.

[Radio Controlled]

((@Miyamoto: I would just like to say that I would feel a lot safer about being in the boarding team if we put some RU in either disabling their point defenses or creating decoys or better armored boarding pods.))

Heh, more people addressing me as my character. Anyways, I'm pretty sure we (the players) only needed to concern us with defending the base/repelling the invasion, while Steve will take all reasonable precautions to ensure that boarding action works out. Also, I really don't feel like rebalancing the budget, and we've already passed our deadline. But if you can work it out with Sean and his ships, and provide me with a copy-pastable something, I'd be ok with it, and you'd just have to work it out with PW.

Hephaestus Defense Plan:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I added team starting positions. Ships start out at Airfield, drones should be up and scouting by beginning of mission. Didn't add mortars on rails since I assume their railsystem will just cover the entire base. Someone else can add those if PW wants that.

Also, map isn't fully to scale, the bunkers should be a little further out from base than shown on map (didn't wat a big map with a lot of whitespace).

PW, this is the updated map. Any problems with it? If not, confirm?

[kisame12794]

"Ugghhh. All crew, regroup at the shaft. We're gonna start cutting into this thing in a bit, and I'd like to have as many people as possible ready to evacuate if this goes sour. If needed, hold the line as long as you can, but be smart about it. If you're going to be overrun, get out. Xan, leave a flamethrower at the membrane, just in case. Everyone got that?"

[Lenglon]

Re-evaluate my choice of route, be ready to climb.

don't fall.

[Xantalos]

Leave a flamethrower at the membrane? What do you mean?

[Tack]

((Actually many of us still took our weapons through. I'm at the top of the shaft with my Namite.))

Hoist up those who need lifting

[swordsmith04]

Leave a flamethrower at the membrane? What do you mean?

"He means literally leave one of the flamethrowers here."

Felix, relieved at getting the chance to do something again, drops Morul's flamethrower in the little pile of weapons and proceeds through the tunnel until he is stopped or arrives at the top of the shaft.


"Whoa. That's quite the drop. They down there, then?" The last bit is aimed at Teal.

[Xantalos]

Oh. I don't have a flamethrower besides my flame sack and my amp.

((Yeah, just like our competence!))

Wait for flesh response.

[/glow]
Scratch this, go to the top of the shaft.

[Nikitian]

Using the rope and assistance from teammates above, carefully raise Morul back to the tunnel. Stay below.
You are going up first, Morul. You should probably be evacuated to the Sword straight away, but that is up to you, leader; you're not about to die just yet.

((And I'm fairly sure there is no 'pile of weapons' lying on the ground, unspecified teammate(s) whom we gave our weapons still hold them for us, aren't they?

@GM Would getting slightly 'cuted with those electricity arcs damage the suit? ))
