Prologue: Turn 4Is it Okay to Burn with Passion? Part IIObjective: Secure Ganmen HangerTeam Alpha, Northwest"Damn... all alone behind enemy lines."
...
"Awesome!"
If there are beastmen around, kill them (if wounded and conscious, drill them to death, if unconscious, leave them alone, if healthy, shoot them). Look around for supplies after.
"That went better than expected, but I'm on my own. I wonder if Alpha team is still up."
Head west to regroup with Alpha.
-Grave
... Nitro takes a moment to search the hospital- he finds no Beastmen, and although he can make out some basic medical equipment and strange anatomy charts in the darkness, he can't find any useful supplies. Disappointed, he exits the hospital, looking to reenter the fight.
... Outside, he meets Grave from Team Beta! Before they can exchange any greetings, however, a pair of wandering Beastmen blunder into them!
... Reacting quickly, Nitro blows the first Beastman away with his stolen rifle, and Grave shoots the other Beastman in the face with his stolen pistol!
Grave nods to his comrade's rifle. "Nice new gun."
"You too."
The path here runs straight toward the hanger, and straight back out of the camp.

Team Beta, Northeast"Well, I think everyone knows we're here now! Let's check out that bigger building on the way to the hanger- at least see what it is. If it's too guarded, we just skip it. Sound good?"
Do the above if agreed on by team.
"Yea, lets go see if its explodable, then get to that hangar."
Check large building, investigate BLOW IT TO FUCK, or head to hangar if not viable.
Yes, that was truly AWESOME!!!
... Toaster and Chewtoy stealthily approach the new building. After a minute of careful observation, they conclude that whatever this building is, it is completely unguarded! Moving to the door, they hear various electronic beeps and chirps- excited by the prospect of destroying expensive things, they burst into the building!
Half a dozen startled Beastmen spin to confront them!
"Nobody move!" Toaster shouts, rapidly taking in his surroundings as he brandishes his rifle. The Beastmen each have a pistol at their sides, but none of them have weapons drawn. They are surrounded by computer towers and broad monitors displaying scenes of devastation in the camp, as well as comparatively peaceful images of the surrounding countryside. This is evidently the intelligence center of the camp.
A Beastman with a pig's face licks his lips. "Be reasonable- if you fire that thing in here, the whole place will blow sky-high! We'll all be killed"!

Team Charlie, SoutheastFuck, I'm just the greatest leader ever.
Fire at the screaming beastmen indiscriminately and head towards our new Super Awesome Death Mobile.
Even if there are no seats, climb upon the roof and scream of how manly I am, while still firing at the beastmen.
Gale coughs, staggering away from the fire spreading from the blasted barrel. He sets off in a loping run, heading West to link up with Team Delta!
Behind him, the engine roars! Gale spins as a jeep full of howling Beastmen races through the fire!
... Gale opens fire, his bullets pounding into the Beastmen! The passengers rock back in their seats, spraying blood and gore everywhere, but miraculously the driver is unharmed!
... He swerves to run over the defiant human, but Gale leaps aside at the last second! The Beastman speeds off to the West, Gale running after him until he reaches the edge of a massive clearing of Beastmen!

Team Delta, Southwest"Zenni, get on that damn machine gun! B.A. and Marxist, as you are, you're doing fine." Trish readied her gun, preparing to shoot any Beastmen on the way to the base that Zenni missed.
Get on the gun and shoot up the tents and any beast men that I see
"Someone man the gun!"
Drive closer. And faster. If any are somehow in punching range, punch them.
((My character seems to be the coolest one that's not causing insane levels of destruction.))
Marxist was feeling a mix of emotions. Mostly confusion. How the hell do you blow up that much shit...? Nevertheless, Ryan was a marksman and he knew what a marksman needed to be-calm and level headed. He pulled up his scope and checked the area.
"I'd take the back road. We can take out a tower easily but we can't plow through THAT many reds. Now if you'll excuse me, I have comms to run."
"*** This is Delta Squad hailing Alpha Beta and Charlie. Status report. ***"
Zenni sheathes his knives as he clambers onto the back of the hovercraft, taking control of the machine gun. Trish readies her rifle, preparing for the gauntlet before them.
Marxist surveys their approach; he stops counting Beastmen once he gets into the thirties. "I'd take the back road. We can take out a tower easily but we can't plow through THAT many reds. I think I see a-"
B.A howls with delight at the target-rich environment before him, and slams on the accelerator! The hovercraft bursts into the open, drawing an immediate hail of incoming fire!
... Zenni sprays bullets wildly, cutting down swathes of Beastmen! Marxist nearly chokes on his comm from the sudden jolt, and his quick shot misses it's mark- Trish follows up, however, gunning down the nearby Beastman before he can line up a shot!
Suddenly, a smoldering jeep with a single Beastman at the wheel bursts from the tents ahead, racing up toward the humans on a collision course!
... At the last moment, B.A swerves to the side, nearly standing the hovercraft on it's side as he passes the jeep by the narrowest of margins! Taking one hand from the wheel, he swings his fist and connects with the astonished Beastman's jaw as the vehicles pass! The Beastman slumps unconscious, and the jeep immediately hits a rock and flips, exploding as it tumbles across the ground and throwing flaming bits of metal into the crowd of Beastmen!
A line of Beastmen try to interpose themselves between the charging humans and the hanger, unleashing a concentrated volley of fire!
... Bullets spark off the dash, narrowly missing B.A as he guides the hovercraft toward the hanger!
... Trish is struck several times in the chest, knocking her lifeless body sideways out the door of the hovercraft!
... Marxist screams, but is silenced as a lucky round explodes through his head, showering the backseat in blood and brains!
... Zenni is largely protected by the sheer amount of metal between himself and the Beastmen,
... and clears a path with one long sweep of his gun!
Zenni crows as the burst into the clear, mere yards from the hanger, when suddenly a lizard-like Beastman bursts through the hanger door! A Beastman wielding a rocket launcher!
... Snapping the RPG to his shoulder, the lizardman looses his deadly payload, the warhead blazing fire as it launches toward the speeding hovercraft!
... Zenni desperately throws himself from the hovercraft as the missile approaches- B.A laughs maniacally as he pilots the hovercraft directly toward the Beastman!
The missile makes contact!
An unexpectedly large explosion consumes B.A as the hovercraft converts into a flaming ball of molten metal hurtling at nearly sixty miles an hour! It effortlessly obliterates the Beastman before smashing into the Hanger wall, opening a massive hole! Screams and subsequent explosions follow as it breaks apart inside the hanger, showering destruction on all inside!
Zenni staggers to his feet, bruised and battered but somehow otherwise whole, despite his rough tumble. Wiping blood away from his mouth, he moves to the new Hanger entrance, dodging gunfire from the dozen surviving Beastmen. Ducking around the wall, he looks around upon a scene of devastation.
Flaming pools of gasoline fill the hanger amid broken hunks of machinery and molten slags of hovercraft. Dead and dying Beastmen are everywhere- a handful of Beastmen in an observation booth high above appear to be unharmed, and a couple injured Beastmen struggle to contain the spreading fire, unaware of Zenni's presence.
Zenni pays all of that only half a mind, for he is too focused on his objective- the Ganmen.
Mostly humanoid, the Ganmen are as different and unique as a field of flowers, if a field of flowers could singlehandedly devastate a planet. Many resemble caricatures of beasts, while others look more like walking fruits, tools, or weapons. All of them are dominated by what appears to be a massive face directly on their body.
Most of them are also on fire.

Objective: Secure Ganmen Hanger: CompleteObjective: Acquire GanmenAlrighty, we are now at six survivors. As of this sentence, you have been upgraded to 5 hp each, and everyone who successfully gets in a Ganmen will get upgraded to that system (with it's associated "awesome defense vs small arms.") It is entirely possible that everyone currently alive will end up in the players list, but it's also quite likely the dice will whittle your numbers down a bit further.
For everyone now on the waitlist, I will mention again that I plan for most non-mook enemies to be guest players chosen randomly from the waitlist. If that doesn't interest you just let me know. Thanks for your participation thus far!
