'Alright, can you guys hear me?"
Hmm, can we hear him?

How far away was our team's APC? Should we move it closer to the restaurant? I'm probably going to start loading the wounded/semi-dead into it soon.

One of the last things Hasala did was have the APC move up right next to the diner. I was going to have it park partially inside the doors, if they were big enough, so combined with the closed window blinds the diner front was at least moderately defensible and we weren't cut off from the APC. Of course, the turn after the APC moved up, Lerman went on his machinegun spree...

Considering you're the target of an orbital bombardment, yeah, I'd say you were dead. Even if you survived the overload, I don't think you'd be able to make it to a safe distance in what's left of your shattered body.
Well, I still want to check. Kind of just because, and also kinda because if Denzel did somehow manage to survive the overload, he may end up in a form that could survive bombardment.

But I'm mainly checking to see if there's a chance.

Oh, that would actually probably help a lot when the cops show up. I expect the teamkilling would have been the same either way. Come to think of it, someone should probably barracade the back door too.

Did D'usse just succeed on a defensive will roll? Just noticed that might be what the bleeding nose is about.

I can't say I'm entirely surprised, but eternal optimist that I am I was still thinking they could get out of this without nuking it from orbit.

Other missions looking positively glowing by comparison.


Then again, this was the eventual resolution of three separate longstanding problems. Timmy Tear, Stacy, and Xan were all known to be unstable nightmares waiting to happen, though at least in Xan's case we assumed a decomp would solve most of his direct issues.


I don't know why but I think mission 14 is slowly becoming more and more like anime. But not one anime, it's like two or three anime were violently and bloodily ripped apart and then sewn together into it's current form. And it's hilarious.
Doesn't look like any anime I'm directly familiar with, but I'm sure there's some horror supernatural detective thing this resembles pretty closely. Complete with half the team being faceless gun-wielding mooks who get taken out for really poorly explained reasons, an OP IMPOSSIBLE-COULDN'T-EVEN-SEE-HER-MOVE martial arts chick, a paranoid veteran insisting on going in alone, and generally wild power and character development disparities!

Dunno how much we'll be using the APC, to be honest. I get the feeling me and Pancaek are just going to go apeshit melee on their cute can delivery systems. Or just Pancaek flipping them around from a distance using his mass manip amp.

Pretty sure it's just an anime reference. Did occur just after mentioning the sleepover in a very anime filled rant, after all.

There's plenty of room for you all to cower there.

Steve told me not to fire towards the planet because they might think we're conducting some sort of anaemic orbital bombardment...
Well, it certainly won't be anaemic now.

I concur with Irony, it was a sleep-over, plus apparently the everyone's pants are coming down as well. How's an impressionable catgirl supposed to act? Couple the fact that she's a belligerent excitable thug and nosebleeds away.

So, I've been trying to come up with some tropes to describe the current clusterfuck that is Mission 15 to put on the TV Tropes page. I so far have Nice Job Breaking it Hero(for a given definition of hero, at any rate) for Xan's attempt to grow stacy a body, Gone Horribly Right for the same, and Colony Drop for the response. Anything else you guys can think of?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

I don't know many tropes, but I want something flattering for Jobasio.
I saved yer asses, after all! Well, hopefully. :P
