(Resolution is a bit wonky here, I had to reinstall and got settings wrong until the second mission)
One day off, it was all it took for Eve Jobs-sama to lose her iron grip on her gals. The runts swarmed around her, throwing reports after reports about a man named Jack and bikes and other strange thingies that occurred overnight. After a few rounds of verbal violence, the Big Boss wrestled back the control of the situation.
21 Apr 2602The gun alamanachs once again proved to be a good source of information. The spitfire seemed like a decent machine gun despite the desire from the gals to keep holding on the super shooty guns.
22 Apr 2602A humanist terror ship appeared in northern europe and fumbled into the Kraken's grip before it could reach any settlement. Throwing terrorists into the countryside always brought a feeling of statisfaction.
Crash siteThe Troyans were more than happy to give the humanists what they deserved, especially when they were en route to pick harmless mutants.
They favored an exit through the lower level to avoid early fire. As usual with terror missions, this ship was expected to field some heavy artillery so the power armored gals searched for tanks outside while the others stormed the ship.
After the previous encounters, the humanists became infamous for being weak and cowardly, all talk and not play. Their obsolete equipment and archaic mindset were usually shattered against the might of a proper gal. But this time, they were not afraid to charge, and fielded lasguns!
Diesel Princess gave one of them a knuckle sandwich and quickly searched him, someone has been training them and giving them forbidden weapons, but who? The guild?
Obviously these degenerates were not going to let her leave with answers. A panzer rolled into firing range and tried to scatter the gal and her captive. Diesel Princess was knocked back by the barrage of rockets and had no choice but to retreat, holding shreds of her former prisoner in her painfully twisted arms.
The panzer was eventually dispatched by an aptly named panzerfaust.
Martian Max breached in the ship. The first dark trooper guy was torn in pieces with an hilarium grenade but a blinding explosion sent her flying back to the entrance. Another panzer guarded the blasted corridors of the terror ship.
At this moment the gals took a second to think about their condition. Most of the gals were wounded by rockets and laser fire and while they all stabilized their wounds, they were out of breath, in pain and their morale were on the breaking point.
They decided that they had done enough. They stopped a terrorist attack already, killed a few for the fun, and were better off not gambling their lives for a ship whose reactors exploded. Getting beaten by humanists was still humiliating, and Lo Raine did not take it well. She had to be dragged back into the Kraken.
To lift the spirits, Martian Max walked in the control room with a gift: an autolaser she pried from an humanist's dead hands, making sure that the team was not coming back empty handed.
That’ll teach Lo Rain a lesson of faith in her more experienced peers.
Troy need a shipment of light armor badly. The gals were obviously not strong enough to use kustom power armors.
23 Apr 2602The brainers were confident that they could replicate batons used by various police forces to beat the populace into picking cans. It might be better than beating captive with gun butt but not by a long margin.
26 Apr 2602One of the predator locked on a survey ship and followed from the Atlantic ocean all the way into the north pole before giving it a good dose of gauss rounds.
While most of the Troy team was in sickbay, Martian Max recovered quickly enough to lead a few swabbies and a couple of more experienced gals.
Crash siteThe Kraken quickly landed in the snow, much to the surprise of the swabbies who wore nothing more than bikinis. In the arctic pole. Needless to say, everyone wanted to finish this heist quickly.
So quickly that one of the swabbies charged at an academician, with predictable results.
The others however were more talented. One of the swabbies sat on the Kraken with a hunting rifle while the other spotted the enemy. She shot with perfect accuracy. A few grenades launched from behind the lines helped secure the outdoors very quickly.
Inside the ship, Martian Max took the eastern aisle, while a pair of swabbies took the other side. One in particular proved to have really good reflexes, waiting viciously in ambush and cutting any foe that go through her way.
This distraction gave Martian Max the opportunity to move towards the control center and find the last foes here…
...all three of them, heavily armored.
In desperation, Max activated a grenade and tried to ran but one of the guards caught up gave her a shot in the back. Thankfully, the swabbies saved her and Max was able to finish what she started.
The sniper swabbie gave first aid to the wounded gal while the control room turned into an orgy of flying body parts.
The mission was highly instructive for the swabbies and everyone came home wiser (except the one who died).
27 Apr 2602Research on better and bigger weapons continued. After watching some ancient movies, the brainers figured that being ‘badass’ apparently improved the explosive power of inanimate objects around you. So they looked on weapons that has good reputation.
With this knowledge, they designed their own gun. It was something that would have saved a few gals back last year but the pirates are now beyond this level of technology.
(custom, ramshackle and home-made? How dare you!)Then they kept analyzing various laser weapons parts guessing that it would lead them towards a better weapon to use on the field.
And they guessed right. The heavy laser was already a good weapon, but it did not quite cross the gap between a big gun and a tank destroyer. Solving this problem was simple: make the gun bigger and everything will work.
A laser cannon would hit as hard as a panzerfraust, without the logistic hassle. All the heavy lasers were quickly dismantled and rebuilt into these beauties.
The brainers also brought up the subject of self charging weapons, much to the disappointment of Eve Jobs-sama who already knew that the charger laser and the self charging laspistol proved how worthless such concept was. And the brainers proved her right with a ‘shotgun’ that do fired scare shots without much energy. Maybe next time, brainers.
28 Apr 2602The Deliverator was ready to fly and was delivered (ah!) to Wako Base.
The old Skyranger was sold back for scrap, the Wako Base team finally had a real ship to board the enemy with.
29 Apr 2602Euchre Jane left the Voodoo Skill covered in tribal paint, leaving her disoriented teachers behind. Not only she was incredibely strong, had a perfect aim, reflexes of a mutant tigress, but she also had a decent voodoo potential.
Euchre Jane was the deadliest mutant on Earth.
30 Apr 2602Another gun almanach was dissected, it was always amazing how much a gal could learn, by reading. They discovered rumors about an upgraded assault rifle, and the brainers argued about it's power or usefulness.
The argument was concluded when one of the brainers split a table in half with a massive and curvy slab of metal, a new weapon was born. In the hands of a strong gal, she probably had the power to cut a ship in half.
And so the month ended, with renewed reports of fear around the globe.
