Haven't had time and disposition to follow the chatter thread.
Milno puppets Faith into being the medical/technical type of useful if necessary. He otherwise hangs around, preparing for evacuation or whatever else we might do since shit's going down harder than a wet sack of potatoes.
Puppeting faith is doable, but there ain't no evacuation happening here. Your orders are to murder till there ain't no murder left to do.
"There ya go priest bro, good as new."
Go help Flint now. Connect my assaultsuit and extra generators to Gilgamesh so Flint can shoot some more since he has better guns.
I assume this means you want to connect yourselves via big old cable and share power? We can do that, but if it gets severed mid-battle you're both gonna go into 1 turn power cycling mode.
"I ask if you could take on some goddamn airplanes, and you just crack your knuckles and look badass. Ah, comrade, You're the best."
Keep checking the skies for hostiles and sic Comrade Dimitri on them if they dare show themselves.
Nothing yet. Kind of disappointing. Every turn when Comrade Dimitri isn't performing Russian suplexes on rocket ships is a turn wasted.
Seek cover, do not die. Be pessimistic about this whole thing.
Thats more like the Milno I know.
Renen looks around and waits to his team go back to the castle. Avoid any possible atacks comming. Take cover from the lightining storm that will come.
Will come? It is currently happening. And you, being metal, tall and pointy are Lightning's favorite kind of dance partner. I'm gonna assume you walk out into the entry way of the capital, take one look at the hellish lightning storm outside, and decide to stay in the cave.
Shoot a test tiny pulse laser fire at an incoming shuttle. If it's shielded, stop. If not, laser it and any others out of the sky.
Unfortunately the lightning storm as rather obscured the sky and made it very hard to see anything coming. What with the clouds and the constant lightning strikes searing your retinas.
Ooo boy you are seeing spots.
Flint kept screaming and trying to press the trigger again and again, even as the view outside was replaced by dead screens lit by the dim emergency lights and the sound of repeated thunder strikes was replaced by muffled radio chatter and distant vibrations barely audible over his quickened breathing.
He stopped screaming and spent several seconds looking at nothing, catching his breath.
I hear thunder but there's no rain
This type of thunder breaks walls and window pane
When he was calm enough, when he had rested enough, he made the choice to start thinking and acting again.
That felt good.
If the island and its surroundings has been sufficiently thunderstormed, shut off power to the rainbow cannon and wait for the suit to recharge.
Edit: If I manage to recharge in this turn, then retreat to the palace entrance. Switch the rainbow cannon to radiation beam mode and prepare to fire. If I'm lucky, even if they don't turn off their automanipulators, they and their automanipulator brains won't be protected against ultra high energy radiation.
Recharging.
"Why the hell are you targeting the sky right above our heads? Do you want to get people killed? And even if you don't hit us, having a shuttle hit it might be just as bad if it over-stresses that automanip, so knock that off."
So opening a portal doesn't work very well because the shuttles are flying too fast, so the shot would still be at 'long range' against a moving target, correct? Or why exactly would the shot be so difficult, compared to a regular shot at long range?
If the gunship gets in position this turn, have it engage, but ONLY if it has a good chance of actually hitting the engines (and only the engines). Again let it do a low power probing shot to confirm the lack of shields around the engines, after that let 'er rip.
Would setting off an EMP close to those shuttles be able to disable the automanips (and maybe the shuttles themselves if we're lucky), or are they shielded against that? And of the 8 people in the 2 teams on the island, any that would be badly affected by an EMP? Could we detonate a nuke in atmosphere to get that EMP going? Does the gunship carry EMP missiles with it (it should, but checking just in case)?
Keep using portals to send back shuttles as far away as I can manage as soon as they get 'in range'.
Also, ask Steve if he can get a visual on where those attack shuttles came from by extrapolating the course they came in on.
Yeah, basically.
It's in position but there appears to have been the sudden emergence of a super storm system right above where you are. Making it very hard to target anything.
It wouldn't stop the manips, but it might disable the shuttle itself.
CAN'T SEE SHIT CAPT'N
He tells you they came from various small islands and joined up together. Apparently these automanips were equipment they used before, not set up for you specifically.
