This is the thread for mission 12, the defense of Hephaestus.

Players: Miyamoto has graciously divided you all up into teams, the information about which can be found here:
http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/Current_Mission_Information

When you post, make sure to preface your post with which team you are on. You can also preface it with any important situational information you want to make extra superduper sure I remember.

[Tavik Toth]

Jack Hansan, Pilot of ThunderTron, Team B Second-in-Command, Heading for rally point.

Drive ThunderTron to designated rally point.

[Powder Miner]

Dominika hoists her rifle across her back as she begins to move to the rally point, looking for Auron to pair with as she did so.
As she moves, she pops an email to the rest of her squad.

Don't worry about me vaporizing everyone, I hate getting vaporized as much as the next guy; I'll be careful. As for my loadout, I've got a microwave amp and a laser rifle. I shoot people and I will fry people from as far away as I can.

Spoiler: Dominika Novak Loadout, though there's not a ton of choice (click to show/hide)

Microwave Amp
Mark 1 suit
Laser Rifle

((Not entirely sure... Xantalos pretty much attached me to a team, do I still come here?))

[Sean Mirrsen]

((Reposting action from the other thread))
Team G, Anton Chernozorov, engineer. Main hangar area.

Anton makes sure that the Party Wagon and the Black Death are ready to take off whenever they need to. Then reports to Milno for further orders.

((Ship names and stats reminder, for PW and everyone else:
The Southern Cross: the assault ship/modified space tug. Four laser cannons, PD lasers, and heavy armor.
The Party Wagon: the hot-dropship/modified Courier. 8 cutting laser turrets and two fusion missiles. Assigned to Mobile Reserve.
The Black Death: the "kill button" flying plasma cannon/modified Blackship. High speed, massive shipbuster plasma cannon, six shots. Only for emergency use.
Tweedledee: the standard hauler ship. Two cutting laser turrets. Unassigned, free for use.
Tweedledum: the (almost) FTL modified hauler ship. Two cutting laser turrets. Unassigned, free for use.

Maurice Sanctor - Team D "Marabou" Medic

Finishing the e-mail to Simus, Maurice left his research terminal and hurried off to suit up and gather equipment.
The familiar excitement of 'Corps assignment, I missed it so much.
To the Team D rally point!
Prepare to do math. Complex math, lots of it.

Jack Catar soldier -Team B, Platypus in transit to rally point
Jack grabs his gear and heads to the bunker while typing on the wristpad.  Its go time.

I have a Mk 1 suit, a longsword, and a laser rifle.  I have decent training in conventional weaponry.  In theory I can use unconventional and exotic weaponry, but I wouldn't try it.

Head to the team B rally point

[swordsmith04]

Repost.

Team D "Marabou"
Felix, having already gotten his equipment in order this morning, heads to his team's rally point.

(The Man-Nip is in his locker, along with his tokens. The rest of 'his' possessions are with him.)

Team D "Marabou"
"Oh great, I get the team with religious nuts..." Felix mumbled to himself, off-radio.

Spoiler: Felix Grant Loadout (click to show/hide)

• Mk1
• Microwave Psychokinetic Amplifier
• Some kind of flamethrower* (not hot enough to burn through Mk suits)
• Morul's Gauss Rifle*

*I assume I still have this stuff, anyway. I never posted an action to return either, but the flamethrower was given in place of a team fund for the biohorror mini-mission and the Idiots in Space file doesn't list either under my inventory. (It never did.)

As for stats and skills, I've got a straight +1 bonus to Exotic and a 1/3 chance of a bonus to Conventional, as well as the minimum strength to use a gauss rifle and 5 willpower.

Team F: Blobfish

"Right, you heard the brain! Auron, Dominika, Lerman, Xan, assemble at the rally point. Since we have some newbies, I'm gonna pair ya off. Dominika, you're with Auron, Lerman, you're with me. Xan, take whatever form suits your fancy, and go easy on the amps. Don't want you vaporising us. Same with you Dominika. Miyamoto, anywhere in particular you want us to go?"


Get the team together at the rally point, and make sure we got all the Sods too. If Miyamoto has a specific area in mind for us, get the team moving in that direction.

((It begins.))

[Harry Baldman]

Team B - Platypus!

Be where I'm supposed to be, wearing space suit and brandishing High Energy Projector menacingly. There will be blood and whatnot.

[Parisbre56]

Team G (Reserve) - Flint Westwood - Flying Heavy Soldier

Flint instinctively looked up, half expecting the drop pods to fall on him any second.
It was good while it lasted.
He ran back to Gilgamesh, patting him on his leg affectionately before getting in, the hatch closing behind him as he typed on the keyboard.

Ask Steve: "Any ideas about what they know? Is this a scouting party or an assault force? I'm asking because I want to know how we'll approach this. Should we wait a bit and ambush them once they're spread out or attack the moment we see them? Any idea where they'll land?"

He looked at his teammates and used the thumb of the hand of the battlesuit that was still usable to point at himself.
@Team: "I'm going to go find a vantage point. Make sure I can see what's going on around here, be able to see whoever needs help and be able to get there quickly. Anybody wants a ride? Any objections team leader?"

Unless the team leader objects, fly to a nearby high point from which I can keep an eye on as much of the surrounding area as possible. Take anyone who requests a ride.

Team B "Platypus" Medic, Steve Saint

REPOSTS

Saint sat on the edge of his bunk and silently listened to Miyamoto's speech.  After it completes, he heaved a deep sigh and hung his head for several seconds.  When he raised his face, it had a determined scowl.

He got up, and started walking towards the hanger to suit up while typing a message out on his wristpad.

This is Steve Saint, reporting in.  Everyone, this is your wake up alarm, let's get to the southern bunker now.  That means you too Jack, you don't get special priority just because you're in a battle bot.

After Steve suits up, he quickly heads to the armory and quickly buys an emergency kit.  Then he heads to the southern bunker and begins inspecting it- making sure the strange machine he got for christmas is still there, and connecting his wristpad to the cameras.  Finally, he charges a dynamic AUX bonus. 

After he finishes with his inspection, he texts Miyamoto.

Your speech mentioned limiting communications between teams, to keep our channels clear.  However, you are a frontline combatant, AND our senior tactical advisor; I would think it prudent to select someone to be mission control, so that they can listen to all the chatter and filter the important tactical information to you.

Of course I recommend myself, as I'm team Platypus' medic, and we're manning the heaviest defenses- I have very little that I have to do.  But even if you don't want me, I really think you should consider appointing someone to the position.

I am currently equipped with a standard MKI suit, a Sub-Exoskeleton Model C "Confidence", and an emergency kit.  Nothing more.

As far as combat skills, I have none.  I am very skilled with computer systems and medical aid however.  Also, I may be able to reprogram my exoskeleton to allow me to fire conventional weapons, although that program has not been extensively tested and is therefore potentially dangerous.

Also, I have moved the strange device I received for Christmas into the bunker.  It has not been tested, however I believe it is an area of effect weapon; it may be prudent to activate it if enemies overrun our position.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Team C, Canglerfish
Stick to Miyamoto until actual combat starts.

Go find Anglerfish team and get ready to KICK SOME MOTHERBLEEPING ARSE.

"Hi, who are you?"

[Doomblade187]

Denzel- Team E, "Aye-Aye" Leader

Move out to the team E bunker, wearing my Mk1 and carrying my combi-weapon, monoatomic sword, cutlass, brass knuckles, and extra laser rifle. Drop the extra laser rifle in the bunker for anyone who needs it. Also, in my year-long action, I asked to buy a microwave manipulator, but only if the manipulator would use Uncon, and if it used INT instead, I asked to buy a microwave amp instead. Which one did I buy?

As he moves out, Denzel composes a message to his team and sends it out. "Hello there, team Aye-Aye, or as I'll be calling you guys, team E. As you probably know, I'm Denzel, your team leader. I'm going to need to know what exactly you can do and what you have. If we work together and don't kill each other, we might just make it through this.

This is a repost, just for the record.
