Han Thren, Team B

"Commander, didn't those rules say to start with laser weaponry?"

[Toaster]

"The enemy comes for us.  We must continue on, for they will fight us endlessly until we are dead or gone.  Staying is folly; we must charge forth for the glory of Steve!"

"Yes, Brother, we are to open with laser weaponry, per General Miyamoto."

[swordsmith04]

@Everyone, radio: "Ground teams, be advised. Aerial recon just confirmed hostiles approaching your location from all vectors. I repeat, large number of mobile enemy units approaching your location from all vectors. Target coordinates are being transmitted to you as we speak. They are gathered in clusters and most of them are heading straight for the jeeps at a reasonable speed. They will be on top of you soon.

Recommend you ready low power kinetic weapons and let us unleash the dogs at them as a safe way to test retaliation at a distance. Aerial recon will observe test results, report findings and adjust the dog's behaviour as needed.

Please advise on your battle plan so that we can adjust ours accordingly. Aerial recon, over."

"Acknowledged. No go on the Gunnerbot plan, they use Gauss weaponry. Lasers are first tier, kinetics are second. Team A is heading to the map tile five east, two south of the landing zone, avoiding Haebi soldiers if possible."


"Konrad, 1 southeast, 1 south. Go around any soldier lifeforms we might run into and keep driving.
...Don't try to run any over, that would be kinetic tier. And this jeep isn't armoured, I think."

Keep an eye on our surroundings for the incoming soldier lifeforms. Point them out if I see them coming. Fire my laser rifle at them when in range.

[Parisbre56]

"Roger that. Your funeral. These things are heading straight towards you. I thought you'd like some warning about what they can do. Don't think you can go around them"

"I'll keep my distance, try to take a picture with zoom mode, see if I can make out any details and get back to you."

Trust, scout

"Great. Good to have you with me. Hold on tight, this could get hot. Stay in the indicated position and if the captain starts yelling 'Brace for impact!' then you'd probably want to jump off since the alternative is a high probability of getting crushed by a battlesuit as it tumbles or being throws away. With your weight and body, falling is probably preferable. You know, 'cats always land on their feet' and all that."

[Lenglon]

Nerves? Soldiers no stop.

[Parisbre56]

"Wanna land now and do a quick check before they come? Then we can try flying over them and checking behind them. That sounds good?

If there's not an army of mushrooms coming, that is. If there's an army... Well, I'll think of something. Maybe I can land between two clusters."

[Lenglon]

"Mrowr!"
if Flint takes us down, I hop down and check the nerves, ready for the the likely beartrap when I knife it open. as soon as we have our info I'm hopping back on him so we can GTFO.

[heroguy111]

Wait for driver to stop if he does and zoltan agrees to look out check to see if we're still heading in the right direction by cutting into ground to find nerves, but stay in the jeep just kinda lean out the door. If zoltan or I notice some thing that definitely is not okay ie. ground is displaced and is coming towards me,  pull head and body back in jeep as quickly as possible and close door.

Do this Since driver offered I'll do it if same thing happens again be mad at driver and not talk to him for rest of mission.

Team C

EDIT: In case it is necessary, give everyone permission to mess with the gunnerbot controls. And if Konrad has trouble with the gunner bots and I'm not too busy dodging or doing the things below (which I consider more important), then set them to whatever setting ((Swordsmith)) wants them. His order was:

Unlock the Gunnerbots if the first volley doesn't take down most of them.

Also, out of curiosity, since they're synthflesh, do they have cameyes we can use?

Land (inspect landing spot with cameyes first for bad things) and let Lyra search for nerves. Let her sit on my hands while she does so if it would help. And be ready to protect her in case the skin tries anything. Use my laser if it would give me better chances of saving her and getting out of there before the enemy catches up to us.

The moment she's done, I fly away with her, heading towards wherever the nerves are pointing. Even if that would mean flying over the squares soldiers are. Try to avoid flying directly over the clusters though.

If I can't land or if it isn't safe to land for some reason, then I keep flying east.

Regardless of the above, as I fly, I try to use my cameyes' zoom function and various vision modes to try to get more information about the soldiers while maintaining a safe altitude and being ready to fly higher and evade at the first sign of hostile action against me.
(No need to answer all of the below, whatever you want.)

Can I see any armour on them? Do they look squishy like the skin?
How big are their groups? Below 5? Below 20? Or do they vary too much?
What's their density look like? I mean, considering their speed, could someone drive through the clusters while evading them?
Are they approaching from all directions or mainly from the direction the jeeps are going?
Can I see anything that would indicate ranged weapons? Tubes, sacks of liquid, spore launchers, etc?
Can I see anything that would indicate melee weapons? Spikes, claws, beartraps, etc?
Do they have eyes or other identifiable sensors?
Can I see anything else non-organic or strange about them?
Are there more coming? Or is it just this wave? Could I land behind this wave? If not, could I land between two clusters, get a sample and fly away again?

[spazyak]

look around us from the passenger jeep and examine for any baddies, also wonder if the cat lady would like cat treats

[Toaster]

Brother Lars: Team B

Brother Lars waved his metallic arms in exhortation.  "Forward!  Do not stop for any reason, and do not fight unless there is no other choice!"

Ready Raduga on the standard frequency; DO NOT fire yet.  Keep with the jeep and avoid any mushroom men.  Just try to avoid or push past them.  If others shoot with lasers, go ahead and shoot as well.

"Brothers Flint, Hasala, or General Miyamoto; what kind of weapon is this PEW contraption considered?"

[Parisbre56]

"That thing burns and explodes things, so I'd say tier 3. On the other hand, from what I've heard, that thing is powerful enough to punch a hole through a spaceship. So if you do shoot them with it, they're less likely to adapt appropriate armour and more likely to resort to rushing us with multiple weaker units. Not saying that you should do it though, just saying it would not be as bad. You never know, they might adapt in an even worse (for us) way."

[swordsmith04]

"It's a more powerful version of the High Energy Projector, so definitely Tier 3."

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

"Thought so, our little friends here don't seem to do more than one thing at a time, odd.
Anyway, I'm going up to the turret, unless someone else wants to take point?"
If no-one objects go up through the hole where the turret should be and pull out the laser rifle, searching for enemies, switch to slight diffusion, not so it's like a shotgun, but just give a bit of leeway in case they may be more agile than they seem, and fire at any enemies that get in the effective range,

[Corsair]

"Konrad, 1 southeast, 1 south. Go around any soldier lifeforms we might run into and keep driving.
...Don't try to run any over, that would be kinetic tier. And this jeep isn't armoured, I think."

"I assume you mean 1 southeast and 1 east as the nerves primarily run east correct?"
Go one south east one east unless otherwise instructed, attempt do so while maintaining distance between jeep and combat forms, if combat forms close into unavoidable obstacle then slow down and keep moving to avoid getting swarmed
