((Calm your collective farms.))

T. stares at the casually rolling kt bomb with a feeling of absolute dread. Not only did he give away a perfectly good explosive, but he put it directly where a talented sniper could shoot it.
Still, no time to worry about losing his beloved fireball-in-a-can.
Look around for an open ship and attempt to board it.

Still, no time to worry about impending fiery death.

((...

Nuclear weapons do not work that way. If the sniper shot the nuke, then it won't go off, and will be rendered such that it can never go off properly. At the very best, if you tried to detonate a nuclear weapon after it was shot, you'd get a pretty crappy dirty bomb.))

Quote from: Denzel Gaunt to Away Team
I think I've spotted the sniper. Sending you his location now.

Staying in cover, send everyone the possible location. Also, would a laser rifle work for long range?

Then, start to move up, staying in cover as much as possible, keeping the shhoter in sight.

((Nah, it's signaled or timed.

Also, haven't I already made this point somewhere in this game? ... Ah, yes, during the Ice-9 Mission, when someone was going to kinetic-amp punch a nuke. As well as a good description of the damage a 1/8kt charge would do (and PW revealing that yes, he has reference data on hand for that sort of thing).))

*sigh* At least they have some survival instinct. And thank you for the precise location, Denzel. I'll send him some little mechanical friends. If they don't kill him, they'll hopefully annoy him enough to get someone closer.

IF the reported location is near the same cluster of cages I identified earlier, direct 5 drones to spread out through the cages and head towards the shooter, and coordinate to attack the shooter when they arrive.

ELSE IF the spotted heat sig is somewhere else, send 2 drones to 'sneak' along the cages towards it and 3 drones to 'sneak' towards the cluster of cages

If I can do so without leaving whatever cover I'm in or drawing attention to myself, grab and stow the nuke.


(( So much bold XD ))

"I really should be more careful"
use magnetic manipulator to shred anyone with the gantries, who is preventing access to d-663 or attempting to kill use fine members of the HMRC, enter the hangar when done & team arrives, being sneaky

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

(( If proto-stars didn't have probably 50-50 odds of obliterating our objective, I would be all for it. Though at this point I would probably settle for 'living to tell the tale', which is by no means certain right now. We have a lot of fire power pointed at him, but I'd place even odds on... hmm... *runs off to edit post a bit* ))
