Brother Lars continued his prayers, this time praying over his rifle.


Raduga should be set to UV (ie standard.)  Charge a prayer bonus for Conventional.

alright so we're basically gonna steal a map for our purposes.



You guys are coming in from the south, ie lower left corner, and the strike is gonna hit building a-11.

I'm dropping you a mile or so out, with some small hills and foliage between you and the cleared area of the base. You let me know when to strike.

Assume I just dumped you out of the ship in a small clearing. Around you are fairly small trees and dense green grass. The sun is a few hours from setting and out in the direction of the base you can see the ground rise into a gentle hill.

((will need some time before I can sit down to plan as it should, but if any of you have preliminary ideas, go ahead.

Sorry for the wall 'o text pw.))

pw, the buildings around a-11, are those residential homes or is this whole thing the base? If they are part of the base, any building you can identify, such as barracks or garage?

Also, what kind of scale are we looking at here (eg how long is building a-11?).

How close should we be able to get before we can be reasonably sure they'd spot us?

Could we get into 'medium' range before being noticed?

Can the Sword reliably hit the targets at night, or should we move now? And how accurate are those guns anyway?

Finally, are the white areas roads, and the dotted surface grass?



((Also, might I ask where you found that map?))

Use that dynamic bonus to launch that automapping drone and have it scout the outskirts of the enemy base in a way it won't be spotted, unless someone objects.

((I kinda would object to it, because there's a (admittedly small) chance they'd spot it and it would blow our cover. On the other hand, more info would indeed be good to have. Perhaps wait until we have a general plan before committing the action? That way we won't be caught off-guard.))

@ pw: I'd like to 'officially' object the action, at least until paris can respond to it.

(What are the dotted regions on the map?)

Make sure rifle is functioning. Attempt to ponder possible stealth ways into the area.

"We need to absolutely ensure they can't contact anyone, so we'll probably move in immediately after getting into position. The longer we wait, the more chance we are found out, or for them to make a move."

I stare at the map for a while, then message Steve about something important that I don't see.

((Do we need to clear all buildings or just A-11?))
You need to reduce things to non-existence. Preferably with a lot of explosions and one liners.

((will need some time before I can sit down to plan as it should, but if any of you have preliminary ideas, go ahead.

Sorry for the wall 'o text pw.))

pw, the buildings around a-11, are those residential homes or is this whole thing the base? If they are part of the base, any building you can identify, such as barracks or garage?

Finally, are the white areas roads, and the dotted surface grass?



((Also, might I ask where you found that map?))
It's all part of the base. We can't for sure identify anything, but it looks like A 16-18 might be barracks, while 12 is probably admin.

There's no scale on the original map, so we'll assume that the building is...oh, 20-25 meters long?

Depends on the time you go, who is around and who goes in and at what speed. You and your giant synth ass will be spotted from a mile off, lumbering around.  But human sized people crawling in under cover of darkness might be able to go anywhere without being noticed, if they're good.

See above

It can reasonably hit pretty precise targets at any time.

Yes, white is road, dotted is ground, of one kind or another.
(What are the dotted regions on the map?)

Make sure rifle is functioning. Attempt to ponder possible stealth ways into the area.
Grass, dirt, concrete, etc. Non-road areas.

Stealth is for pansies. If you want to be a pansy, the best possible way is probably going to involve darkness and distractions.
