Does this new island have pizza restaurants?

Also, would our suits' insulation survive lava? I'm sorely tempted to chuck a fleshy teammate in the volcano to find out.
...Did Jobasio end up being dragged to the shuttle, or is he still robo-crying in the slum somewhere?

1) extinct volcano

2) Yes, for a short while or non-full immersion. You can give yourself a splint if you have a laser rifle by melting a vertical hole and dipping a limb in it in the MK series.

Now that's a nice touch. Some real end-times shit needs to go down if we're to properly convince people that the apocalypse has arrived. That's exactly the thinking we need.

Actually, we need to freak people out if we're going to do this strategically. What are the weirdest weapons we have? Xan uncovered, Lyra destealthing briefly to summarily execute key authority figures, Alot-mounted machine weapons... good way to scare people into trusting us, not just running and running.

Wait I have an idea so crazy it might work what if we go down there calmly explain the situation and evacuate in a calm orderly manner.

It's an interesting concept, but we should build on our strengths, like causing chaos and destruction, rather than asking ARM soldiers to do something they clearly aren't about to do.

But a lot of the rookies aren't used to that style yet so maybe it....would I don't know have the rookies.....not end up insane maniacs like most of the other people in arm?

Prepare to shoot anyone that looks like they're about to shoot anyone that looks like they're about to shoot a civvy.
Also, do a SPACE GOOGLE search for nearby pizza places, surely we will have more luck now that we're operating in an area that isn't TOTALLY SHIT AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.

And now I am far less confused as to why we landed in the volcano's crater.

It is encrusted with sharkmist and HMRC. On the item is an image of HMRC and Pancaek. Pancaek is laughing. The HMRC is melting. The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

For a moment I thought it was Lurker in VR, but then I continued reading.

Fly the team on the shuttle to the next island.

Suggest that we try torching the plantation just to remove the peoples' "attachments".

Read the Radio Chatter thread... that comes later.

Burn the entire jungle down. Make put the portal on the shore and just ... you know, just stay away from the portal. Fly around above the setlement and watch out ofr groups of organized weapon wielders. ignore everyone else and let them move on their own. Once you have a good forest firegoing, walk it inward, until they have nothing else to do but get in the portal. Auron had the right idea lat island, just a little too late.

What about the ports?  Also, wouldn't that cause a lot of civilian deaths?  Edit: also, we have a couple settlements very far apart from each other, and the jungle goes right up to the coast.  We'd have a lot of civilians not able to reach the portal before burning to death, right?

That's the point. These plebs don't know just how doomed the universe is! We need to give them a reason to evacuate!
Sure, we could hold a seminar and hand out fancy pamphlets describing the inevitable demise of their planet, but do you think they're gonna take our word for it?
