11 Apr 2602When it came to piracy, the gals lacked options. Besides a dropship that cannot be replicated, the gals had the choice between a fossil fueled sky coffin or a semi dropship with limited capacity.
The Trojans decided to remedy this situation in a simple way, they'll ignore the most elementary rules of security (and hygiene) and with stuff every free space with gals.
The brainers on the other hands were following the lead towards a new solution. They reverse engineered the Bonaventura to design blueprints, keeping in mind to use the available resources.
The result was a similar ship. The brainers could not provide a large cargo space without risking it breaking apart mid flight, but the Bonny's little sister was able to fly up to the stratosphere and drop quickly to its destination.
Eve Jobs-sama ordered one to be built right away.
The runts pretended to work while they looked for the right time to inform their boss that they had no torch clip anymore. It seems that the nomads stopped selling missiles and other useful goods.
12 Apr 2602The runts were saved by luck. Eve Jobs-sama caught the rumor that the smugglers stepped up their game and seized the market for weapons and heavy duty tools.
These sumgglers were the friendliest enemies she had, and unlike the mercenaries they were smart enough to not tickle the mutant alliance. Not to mention the time their captain walked out of the Cave of Booty with the crew swooning at him.
Getting his number from one of her brainers she had a call with him. Instead of getting to the point, they engaged into a verbal joust, alternating between flirting and threatening.
She learned from him that the academy had its own military structure. She did not realize that all their guards were males, they were nothing but black powder bombs magnets for her. Besides, a male combat team sounded like a quite a curious idea.
The captain also told her about his customers, especially the newest ones from a ghastly country.
Eventually they made a deal, she would buy his supplies and the pirates would not hit them. But Eve Jobs-sama knew that the captain would not mind being captured again as it would be an easy way into the brainers beds, again.
13 Apr 2602The Cave of Booty was shaken from side to side as a cave in destroyed the area near the lift. Did the guild attack? The hands were deployed all day, gun in hand, waiting for the threat to come at them.
Looking at the base's map, they saw the damage.
There was no explanation for this and the runts started digging the space back. The pirates could use the escape tunnels to reach the hangars until the repairs were complete. The entrance will be replaced by a 'sturdy room' in hope that it would not happen again.
(I needed to edit the save with the last update and I somehow managed to break the base. Gj, me.)
14 Apr 2602The brainers finished their studies of the shipping documentations. The last one came from the small combat units.
15 Apr 2602A gunboat flew past Wako Base and a Predator launched to stop it. Unfortunately, the ill armed craft failed to take it down and was sent nose first into the plains. A second predator equipped with gauss cannons finished the job.
Crash landing
Armed with an autolaser, Euchre Jane suppressed the ship's guards with deadly accuracy. However, the gals had no cover on their approach besides a flimsy wooden barrier, and they could not breach it without exposing themselves.
Worse then that, the shipping doors faced a barn that the Osiron guys invested. Ivanaya provided cover as she lit the entire structure en fire, but that did not prevent one of the pirated from getting sniped.
After a long tedious firefight, the gals, wounded and tired, cleared the area.
Considering the loss of a predator and two bundle of seagull missiles, this mission was a waste of money.
16 Apr 2602The brainers created a new bow. It would take a special kind of training to get a gal to use it perfectly, but the indirect shots it provides should help a lot.
And finally they designed a new fighter craft. Smaller but more maneuverable, this ship can fire two guns and should be able to shot down enemies on a budget... But it almost does what a predator with an extra engine can do already so it does not sound like a definitive replacement.
17 Apr 2602The relays detected a gunboat transporting gold. Gold! The pirates could not let such opportunity go and quickly shoot down the ship with the combined fire of gauss shells and the Bonaventura's missiles.
Crash LandingThe gals field tested stun grenades, its first results were not stellar with all the victims staying conscious.
After failing to stun the sailors, the gals quickly breached the ship and took over.
This was the first combat experience for a few swabbies so Eve Jobs-sama gave her promotions for a job well done.
The bad news however, is that the ship had no gold. At all. Was that a bait?
19 Apr 2602The first results of the Voodoo classes were in.
Rince Wind failed all her spells, all of them. Her only saving grace was that she could name them in various languages.
Snapper was so distracted that she tried to mind control all her class at the same time. Since they laughed in unison the teacher could not figure if it was a success or not.
Ema proved quite capable. At throwing paper right at the teacher's forehead. That won the enthusiasm of her peers.
Tah tah was more interested in the teacher's job with the mutant alliance than the lessons. He was so tired of being interrupted that he had her brought back into the med bay.
Meanwhile at wako base, Ivanaya sat in the corner with a dunce hat. She was really bad, and the gals hoped that it could not get worse.
-----
It was quiet but I finally unlocked new ships. If I can figure how to get new cannons and missiles (especially missiles, seagulls are too expensive) maybe can finally grab bigger booty.
Because cash wise the pirates are stagnating and this slows down my plans.
