"Jason, Dubley, I think we should try and flank around to the south.  The strong troops are likely to head north to fight with Flint.  We can try to blitz past any defenders to the south and grab the decoder.  If we're lucky we might even get past unseen.  You with me?"

Spoiler: Team A action (click to show/hide)

If Jason or Dubley agrees to flank to the south, fly to J11 (or J12 if I can) and then directly east.  Stay low to the ground, so anyone in the canyons can't see me.  Again, if someone sees us, gesture at them as if I were using an Amp so they don't realize it's actually Jason killing them.

If neither of them accepts, stay where I am and call out targets for Jason and Lars.  If Lars moves up, try to stay ahead of him so that I spot enemies before they spot Lars.

"Sure why not."
Flank to the south with Saint. Shoot any uwm jerks I see with a combination of laser cannon and random-number fire.
If I have time, keep trying to hack the other team's comms, cams, and comps.

Advance to I8 and take cover behind pillar.  If a target is called by a spotter, use Gauss Cannon on it.  If I see one target, Raduga it.  If I see multiples, PEW it in regular HEP mode.

Then get out the shuttle and start spawning off some plant-like organisms that root into the ground and extract nutrients from there in order to grow into organic high-velocity poisonous spike cannons!
Set to shoot at team 1 because of ... pheromones.

You spend 90% of your body mass to create four of those things, leaving you barely nothing more than a brain with small stubby legs. Unexpectedly those little xanlings do not root themselves on the ground. Instead they develope legs and relatively big mouth with large inward pointing teeths. They look around for few seconds and then turn their attention towards you. It's hungry kind attention...

Lyra, Team A
keep advancing, taking the northenmost canyons but sticking to their southern walls. to avoid being seen from above.

You do so, and reach M2 near Flint. He soon jumps down off the cliff and goes to south west without noticing you.

Team A

They are coming from the north. I shot one but I missed. I'm gonna relocate to another vantage point. Watch out for anyone that might slip through while I'm gone and call me if you need help. Although I'm pretty sure I scared them so much they'll think twice before approaching from there for a while.

I've also got a bunch of automapping drones leftover from the AP mission. They can fly higher than the canyon walls and have an auto-ping function that can spot teammates and report their location to me. It should still work with the traitors. Only problem I see is the drone giving my position away when it leaves. Tell me when you think it's a good time to launch one of them.


Nice. Just as planned, but in reverse.
Don't know how much time is going to pass between this turn and the next, so I'll just write my plan here and you can execute as much of it as you want/I have time for.

Switch to backup generator/capacitor unit while my main generator/capacitor unit recharges.
If I see anybody living down there, I fire my laser as I jump down. If I see nobody there, just jump down.
Then move to L5 (close to the souther wall so that it's hard to shoot me from O7). As I walk, I switch the Rainbow Cannon to Green Shotgun.
Once there, prepare to fire my laser to Q2 and open fire if I see anyone there.
Unless I see someone (non-team-mate, obviously) along the way, in which case I shoot at them with my mining laser if they're far or with Green Shotgun if they're close.
If I fire upon an enemy or I am spotted but can't shoot them back, then I make my way towards K4. I seriously don't expect the turn to last that long.
If a teammate from the north (Lyra/Ronald) says they need help in the north, then I go towards them instead.

((Hmmm... I'm starting to see why one might think I'm overpowered...))

Backup generator activates and cameras come back online, showing you someone in MK III hovering in air near traitor's shuttle. Apparently he shot at you but your suit doesn't register any damage. You are about to shoot him when temperature outside and inside of battle suit starts growing fast. Best to run away. Switching Rainbow cannon into green mode you jump down off the cliff and run. You make it to L5.

Team A

Move up to the corner at M2. If I see an enemy, zap them with doom arms and take cover

You make it to K3. Only thing you see moving is a battlesuit that runs from direction you were going and continues to south. Flint, it seems.

"Jason, Dubley, I think we should try and flank around to the south.  The strong troops are likely to head north to fight with Flint.  We can try to blitz past any defenders to the south and grab the decoder.  If we're lucky we might even get past unseen.  You with me?"


If Jason or Dubley agrees to flank to the south, pick them up then fly to J11 (or J12 if I can) and then directly east. 

Stay low to the ground, so anyone in the canyons can't see me.  Again, if someone sees us, gesture at them as if I were using an Amp so they don't realize it's actually Jason killing them.

If neither of them accepts, stay where I am and call out targets for Jason and Lars.  If Lars moves up, try to stay ahead of him so that I spot enemies before they spot Lars.

They both agree with your plan so you grab Jason and fly quickly over canyons and sticking low when crossing over plateau. You spot one MK III hovering far and make theatretical motion towards it.

J11 reached. However as you land you start feeling oddly warm. It shouldn't be possible for cyborgs like yourself. You try to voice your concern, but only odd sounds come out (you can't speak). And this thing on your arms... Wasn't that supposed to be Jason?

"Sure why not."
Flank to the south with Saint. Shoot any uwm jerks I see with a combination of laser cannon and random-number fire.
If I have time, keep trying to hack the other team's comms, cams, and comps.

There's one MK III hovering on sky far in north east. Wanna burn it?
Comms hacking doesn't yield any results. Yet.

Steve Saint is making odd sounds.

"Fine with me. I'll need a lift though."
Get a lift, fry the brains of anyone on Team 1 that we come across.

You get another princess carry from Steve. He spots one hovering MK III in distance, but your eyes are not good enough to get good sense of distance.

Steve Saint is making odd sounds and he looks at you oddly.

"I am advancing to target, brothers.  I shall bring death to these defilers!"

Advance to I8 and take cover behind pillar.  If a target is called by a spotter, use Gauss Cannon on it.  If I see one target, Raduga it.  If I see multiples, PEW it in regular HEP mode.

Pillar reached, but no enemies in sight. Nobody is telling where to shoot either.

Team 1

Give Miya access to my cams. Use the MkIII and hover in the air. Scan with cam-eyes for those dirty UWM traitors and snipe them with the Spektr. Try to dodge anything shot at me, or drop back down to the ground if it gets too hot up there

Access given. You hover up and spot a battlesuit in west and recongize it as Flint, the old actor. It's no suprise he's one of the traitors, given his long experience in art of acting.
On far west you spot two flying figures approaching L9 from direction of traitors shuttle.

Flint is biggest threat, given his overpowered Rainbow cannon, so you level Spektr at him and fire. You can see slice of ground evaporating near him. Damn, so close!

"Got a nice spot, linking cam. I've got a magnetic manip, by the way."

Link up my cam with Miya, nobody else incase the enemy gets our feeds, report an enemies position if I see them and then crush their helmet in on themselves with the magnetic manip.

Camera access granted. Traitors seem to be busy elsewhere, so you simply sit and wait.

Updated action:
Try to use manip, the map I have, the location given to me by my teammate(s) and their helmet cam to create a big heatblade at L1 and kill the battlesuit pilot.

See if there's another hiding place nearby. Think about whether I could make a visual distortion field that makes me invisible but still lets me see using manip.

You create something related to heat, but apparently it wasn't enough to kill. You see through Thaddeus's cameras how the battlesuit jumps down into canyon and disappears.

There's few boulders in Z7 big enough to hide your wheelchair. Better turn off flaming exhaust and dubstep you keep blaring if you want to hide there.

Visual distortion field? That's easy: just hide somewhere and bend space to connect two spots. Easy peasy.

I'm not too shabby with my amps either. Han, Thaddeus, let me know if you see someone before me and I can try to pulp them with my new toys.

Keep an eye out for enemies. Keep a square back from the two goons ahead of me and if I see someone, use my mass amp to slam them into the canyon wall (Or pull them down if they made it above us)

No enemies in sight, but Thaddeus just hovered up and is shooting at something. You back up a little from those goonies.

Team 1

"Damn it, Tek was spotted and nearly killed.  Looks like they have someone holding the north, someone with a really big gun.  Tek will attempt to swing south for now."

Is the bike still usable and fairly close by?  If so, grab it and get on it quickly and go to S8.  If not, ditch it and go to S8 anyway.

It is in suprisingly good condition. You get it up and drive south to your specified location.

Team 1:
Get to about V-10 and smooth the aster-ex over the ground to create a line of it going from canyon wall to canyon wall, then dust over it with... Canyon dust, if someone spots me, use jet pack to strategically attack in the opposite position (retreat!), if not, just find cover where there would be no line of sight to john if an enemy came to where the aster-ex is placed.
"Ehehehehehehehehe I've put a bomb at V-10 guys heheheheheh so watch out hehehehehehe"

You succesfully create a trap out of mining explosives and disguise it. Now only if someone would walk into it...

Team 1

Summon the sheep, and viscera man, and that other thing. Hell, just try summoning whatever the hell will listen.

Sheeps again? Well, they all appear as you wished. You probably should stop using those drugs.

"Again? Didn't I already warn you about this?" says the red man with vertical mouth in chest.
"*gurgall*" says the roadkill. It's slowly taking shape of human. You could swear you see pieces of MK I among the mess it is made of.
The sheep doesn't say anything. It simply stares you.

Blindly fire off 3 shots down the canyon and yell "You can't get past me with that!" Occasionally peek around the corner and detonate the Aster-ex if any enemies get close enough.

[Xantalos]

NOPE

[Lenglon]

Spoiler: Lyra, Team A, Action (click to show/hide)

on padded paws, silent and invisible, I continue to advance. I don't engage any hostiles I encounter, instead just going on past them while keeping an eye on them in case they somehow notice me.

If they do spot me though, then if I'm close I pounce them and bite them, injecting my sleep-venom. If they have distance or heavy armor then I take cover and use my mass manip amp to smash them into the canyon walls and then pull the wall down overtop of them. and in the case of battlesuits I'll be microwaving them under the resulting pile of rubble to melt them and either finish killing them or at least encase them in molten stone.

"Charles, we already have me and somebody else covering the shuttle. could you place your pawn someplace else, maybe at W8, and also give me access to its cameras? It'll help me with manip sniping.

Thaddeus, could you try to keep an eye out on top of the canyon, to ensure nobody tries to sneak up on us?

Also, people, I'm going to close up the entrance to our base at V6 with goop."

In a system with pure d6? Yeah, no thanks.

Anyways, go to V6 and close of that entrance with goop. Then go back to Z7 to hide behind those boulders. Turn off dubstep and exhaust. Be sad about it. If I see kinetic projectiles coming for a teammate via cams, use manip to send it back to shooter.

Also, is the atmosphere here breathable/survivable? Aka would you survive sans suit? Asking because I just realized that, if yes, lyra invisicat with amps can snipe all of us, and nobody on our team has cameyes I think.
