I'm ready. Let's do this.

[Sean Mirrsen]

That still means I can't read the others' spoilers if I want to play fair.

Oh well. But it also means I can ask a question! :3

Do we have to eliminate witnesses only of our own activities, or those of our competitors' activities as well?

((Basically if we see a crowd of people fleeing from two giant monsters duking it out downtown, do we have to kill them even if they don't see us?))

((Also, passing blame to the conventional enemy force might be tricky.

-"Okay, let's hear it."

-"Half the city buildings, destroyed. Central office complex, gone. Not destroyed, just not there anymore. Bodies and body fragments littering the streets. Three city blocks literally painted with blood, and entrails. Molten furrow half a mile long through downtown. Group of suspiciously lifelike statues of people in running poses on the outbound eastern road, mostly broken. At least one report of a rescue worker walking into a damaged building and falling upwards onto the ceiling. No survivors of the populace, apart from the four dozen found on the southern freeway, with amnesia so total they barely know how to breathe."

-"Yep. Definitely sounds like the work of one of them nasty separatist rebel groups, doesn't it?"))

"Brain one, ready as weapons and  base unit.

"Brain two, ready as drone controller."
 "But I wanted to be the drone controller, you were gonna control senses and help with the secondary fire armssssss."
"We all discussed this brain three, shut the hell up. you work on making sure nothing sneaks up on us."
"What he said, brain three. shees _{what a whiny bitch.}"
"I HEARD THAT! Swear I'm going to kill you two sometime." 
"That would literally be suicide."
"And murder."
"All right! I get it, I'll handle radar and such.. and targeting the secondary weapons....jerks.
"Good. Now behave and I'll let you have treat. I'll let you control the particle cannon drones."
"What?! Bu-"
"NOPE NOT YOU TOO! SHUT UP AND GO WITH IT! YOU HAVE ENOUGH YOU CAN SHARE!"

That's what you get from using your own mind as a base.

Priorize dealing with your own witnesses first, then you can see if your opponent has dealt with theirs.

Wow those rebels are pretty good! What a convenient excuse to drop nukes on them!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You can try. It is fairly fast, could shoot twice a second if not for that nasty recoil. The primary coilgun is an anti-tank weapon by its own right.

Far more than you have. No, stealth holodrones was on the research queue but didn't make it.

Spoiler: Questions (click to show/hide)

What is the range on the dazzle effect? Are subsequent dazzlings just as effective or do they build up an immunity to it?
How fast can the drones travel?
What is the drone's battery life?
How long does the katana take to reform?

[spazyak]

Course I'm going to try. and either way if not I can quickly have my drones fly over me when we all land and find a good cover position (described below after the blue asterisk)  and look for any active and nearby threats.

Drones stay within a 50-meter area, in clear sight, try and keep them in a circular shape overhead.
the grenade launcher drones stay in a higher altitude 20-meter radius.
Particle beam drones stay in a small  5-meter circle, one right above, around in a square shape at varying heights, all above, to allow for them to all focus on one target without risk of firing into each other.  I'll scan for lifeforms taking out any nearby.
Drones remained stealth and do not engage any targets till after they have entered the area or have started firing on them or me.
I will respond with the augs if it's a small lightly armed squad, if they seem heavy-armed or well-trained respond with the machine guns. if they move to far range use the designated marksman rifles
any fortified or armored targets will be shot by the particle drones and by me.
Same for any bunkered targets or entrenched targets beyond after which normal drones will start to flood in from flanks, lmgs then the p9000s in staggered waves, still stealth, unless they seem to be another super soldier or an entrenched armored vehicle.

then move in towards the location of hostilities at a 45 degree to 85 degrees based on the location of hostilities near the newly eliminated hostile (from henceforth known as prey) and their movements. If I am surrounded by hostility or there are a lot moving in, move about 20 meters from the landing area to the nearest *building with at most 2 entrances, preferably 2 stories. If the building is lacking in windows on its second story punch some into all 4 sides. Drones remain above the building. Try to blockade one entrance with the crate I am dropped in.

any I kill that are near me where I can easily grab them at the end fo my turn will be hidden inside my building or behind the cover I am in.

this will remain my battle plan until I start taking heavy fire, having masses of infantry moving in on my position, armored vehicles moving near me, or another super soldier appears at all.

(time to start meticulously strategizing and plotting and have it all ruined by a round or two of bad rolls.))

Start up the sensor suite, try to find any signs of human life.

Question: if renegadetarantula dies will I have to grow/train his replacement? Or will we assume I've got one ready just in case?

[killerhellhound]

Ready

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Range of dazzle effect, based on rigorous empiric testing, is fully effective up to 40 meters after which effectiveness drops in power of three, meaning that in 80m it hardly anything more than pulsing flashlight. No measurable immunity buildup has been detected in testing period. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, though. Immunity build up might happen over longer periods of time like months of repeated exposure.

Hmm, roughly 60 km/h. Full acceleration, no turns.

On maximum activity levels it probably spends fully charged battery in 12 hours.

Seconds. Seven seconds is slowest it has performed, and that was when the sheath was being shaked.

Question: if renegadetarantula dies will I have to grow/train his replacement? Or will we assume I've got one ready just in case?

In that case what remains of his body will be delivered back to you so you can sink it into nutrient slurry bath and have it regenerate. Then we'll get you new volunteer who wants to be giant spider.

.

This doesn't look like a question.

You can imitate clothed human quite well, but the problem is your uniform light metallic color. Oz didn't give your nanites color camouflage, but with perception alteration that shouldn't be much of problem.

ATH, star2wars3 and Xantalos. Any more questions, cheaty tricks, or are you ready?

[ATHATH]

I am ready.

[Xantalos]

Uh.

Can I have each of my squads dropped off in separate locations, or are they all gonna start off in one spot?
...
Yeah, there isn't really much for me to -
Oh! That Interrogative Telepathy thing I see on my tech list. What's that? Does it mean I can aggressively mindprobe people?

"Yeah I'm ready and stuff. Should be fun."
