Wow, we might be able to do two turns in one day!

Briefly consider the possibility of getting the bombs to detonate on the central pillar while all this is going on. Continue firing with the Venus, since, against Hivetech soldiers would start bleeding, which would further focus Infected, and maybe snake, attention on them.

You think GHOST-007, REVENANT-007, and PHANTASM-007 are planting the bomb. You spray your SMG at a handful of Hivetech soldiers (12 vs. 74), but their armor proves effective against the bullets. One of them is wounded, but they're quickly ushered away by another soldier before the zombies attack. (53 vs. 66) You prepare to fire again, when one of the soldiers starts firing at you, forcing you to duck down.

"ROAR TO YOU TO MOTHERFUCKER!!!" Shoot it in it's weak spots and if it gets too close for me to be able to safely shoot it then engage it in melee.

Weak spot, huh? Everything has to have a weak spot... right? You scream at it and shoot it in the face, repeatedly. (8 vs. 11) At least, you think you do. It doesn't have too much of an effect, besides pissing off the thing and momentarily blinding it. (92 vs. 46) REVENANT-007 takes advantage of its blindness, leaping on its back and plunging his knife in the monster's back. (58 vs. 40) REVENANT-007 prepares for another strike when the beast grabs him and throws him off of its back. REVENANT-007 seems unhurt, but he wasn't able to land a second blow. (78 vs. 50) GHOST-007 charges it and fires his machine gun at it. Most of the bullets bounce off of the thing's scales, but a few manage to draw a gout of black blood. (70 vs. 85) The thing charges GHOST-007 and slams him into a wall. It then turns to you. (44 vs. 36) You barely manage to avoid the beast's claws as it swipes at you.

"Thank god we have a medic."

Keep shooting, try not to get killed.

Try to lure them away from the main action so I can focus one problem at the time.

GHOUL-007 joins you by the fire escape. He notices your missing fingers.

"Ah, shit. You're gonna need a prosthetics specialist when this shit is all over. Here, take a painkiller shot. On me."

GHOUL-007 sticks a small needle into your arm. Within seconds, the pain from your missing fingers subsides, and your accuracy marginally improves.

"Don't worry, kid. Happened to me too, 'cept with the whole hand."

GHOUL-007 flexes his right hand, and you think you hear the scraping of metal on metal from under his glove. He then proceeds to arm an incendiary grenade and throw it in the midst of the zombie horde, (58 vs. 43), lighting a few of them on fire. The flaming zombies proceed to attack one of the bioweapons, burning it alive. (96 vs. 57 vs. 83) You watch as a squad of Hivetech soldiers mow down a horde of zombies, which then charge them and swarm a couple of soldiers. The retreating Hivetech soldiers happen to retreat straight into a bio weapon, which instantly grabs one of them and tears him apart. The Hivetech soldiers then kill the bio weapon, turning their backs to the zombies, which once again swarm over the soldiers. All in all, a bunch of everything gets their shit really fucked up. You contribute to the mess when you start firing into the clusterfuck. (43 vs. 71, 73, 29, 37) You don't actually see what you hit, but you know a couple of things went down.


"hergott, bioweapon!"
need to act fast. Are any of those hivetech guns on the ground nearby? Sprint out of cover, try to grab one, and then open fire on the closest/largest threat to my survival after getting back into cover.

You German now? K thass fine

You run out of cover, hoping not to attract unwanted attention. (13) Of course, that's exactly what happens. One of the snake bio weapons screeches, then flies at you. You draw your semi-auto pistol and start firing. (51 vs. 13)
Before we continue, I'd just like to say that you defied the odds and beat a heavily armored giant snake with a piddly little handgun, despite having a -40 penalty to your attack roll
You manage to shoot out one of the bio weapon's eyes. You presume the bullet went to its brain, since it drops dead. You then recover a Hivetech D-22 from a nearby corpse and duck back into cover. (33 vs. 23) You blindfire from behind cover. You hear a curse after you fire, and assume you hit a soldier.

Unload my machine gun all over those Hivetech and infected motherfuckers!

You have a shotgun, but you just pretend its a machine gun and unload it after charging into battle. (49 vs 31, 99) Your shots manage to take down a Hivetech soldier, but only graze the infected. (78 vs. 42) One of the infected lunges at you, but you kick it away, propelling it into a bio weapon, which tears it apart.

Everyone!

RAPID HQ radioes in.

"Alpha-007 squad, your objective has changed. We want you to kill that creature in the control room, and bring it outside before you detonate the explosives. Take a sample of its DNA if you can. Our drones have spotted more Hivetech soldiers approaching your location, so be quick about it. HQ out."

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

I'll consider adding a system where you get points for performing certain actions and the like, if I do implement it, I'll be sure to award you with some points.

Consider a path out of the facility, and where the control room could be, at least what routes would/wouldn't lead to it.
I'll mention this now: If we cannot bring the whole monster out with us, we may still get some points from bringing a piece of it, like a severed hand or some organs. Probably won't be as much, though, so it's a last resort.

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

"bastard piece of shit!"
continue picking off the closest/most dangerous targets from my cover unless I get flanked. Consider using the bio-weapon corpse as a meatshield if it's large enough.

Err... you've long since escaped the Hivetech soldiers. Now you're fighting a horde of zombies that pinned you down.

"OVER HERE FATHEAD!" Lead the big zombie that from now on I'm going to refer as a Brute outside, before throwing a grenade in it's mouth. If succesfull, say epic but comedic one liner.

"HQ, how many times we are going to change objectives?"

Since I already lost a couple of fingers, I'am just going to play it safe and just clear the way to the control room.

"HQ, how many times we are going to change objectives?"

Since I already lost a couple of fingers, I'am just going to play it safe and just clear the way to the control room.

"As many times as we require. For now, though, we believe that this is the last change to your current objective."

You hunker down behind a couple of crates (89) and nothing notices you. The way to the control room is clear.


"OVER HERE FATHEAD!" Lead the big zombie that from now on I'm going to refer as a Brute outside, before throwing a grenade in it's mouth. If succesfull, say epic but comedic one liner.

The Brute growls as it hears you shout. REVENANT-007 takes advantage of its distraction to engage in melee, shanking the Brute in the side. He then rolls over to you, and the two of you lead the Brute outside into the combat. With a scream, the Brute hurdles at you and the two of you go crashing into a bioweapon glass container, showering you with bits of glass. The bioweapon inside, previously dormant, is now screeching and biting the Brute. You run at the Brute and hurl a grenade as it roars, opening it's mouth in the process. You hurl an incendiary grenade at it's mouth, which (37 vs. 81) bounces off of its head. The resulting explosion certainly singes the Brute, but there's no cause for a one-liner. Yet. You even had a really good one ready, too. You sigh and draw your handgun, firing at the Brute and grumbling to yourself about stupid heavy grenades not flying right.

Consider a path out of the facility, and where the control room could be, at least what routes would/wouldn't lead to it.
I'll mention this now: If we cannot bring the whole monster out with us, we may still get some points from bringing a piece of it, like a severed hand or some organs. Probably won't be as much, though, so it's a last resort.

It seems like whatever was in the control room is now out. You watch as a huge scaled monster charges out of the control room door, clawing at REVENANT-007. (82) Your SMG is probably useless against it, so you wonder if you should take care of the zombies encroaching on PHANTASM-007 instead.

Try to find the control room and get shooting!

You see the scaled monster emerge from the control room, locked in combat with REVENANT-007 and PHANTASM-007. You sneak up on it from behind (97), go unnoticed, and put your gun right next to the thing's head. (104 vs. 35) You chuckle and shoot, creating a baseball sized hole in the thing's head.

"Looks like this one... er... hit his heaad... no..."

You really need to work on your one liners. You radio in to HQ.

"HQ, we've taken down... whatever that thing is. Can we blow this shithole up now?"

"You're authorized to detonate the explosives. GHOST-007 already planted them. Get out of there, now."

You turn around, (3 vs. 7) and duck just as an incendiary grenade is hurled you way. It detonates, covering the path to the exit in flaming napalm. Wonderful!


"bastard piece of shit!"
continue picking off the closest/most dangerous targets from my cover unless I get flanked. Consider using the bio-weapon corpse as a meatshield if it's large enough.

You fire off a few rounds from your handgun at a horde of nearby zombies, (96 vs. 26) dropping two and wounding one. The last of the Hivetech soldiers are fleeing, and the bioweapons are mostly dead, leaving only the threat of the zombies. You watch as the rest of your squad regroups by SPECTRE-007, and starts skirting the flames from an incendiary grenade. You drop a few more zombies as your squadmates inch around the fires, one by one. (56) As the last of them stumbles away from the fire, you run to the fire escape and dash out of the facility. It seems that REVENANT-007 cut off the major bioweapon's hand, bringing a sample of its DNA. You run out, and GHOST-007 pushes a button on his gas mask. The facility explodes, showering you with bits of flaming debris.

MISSION COMPLETE!
You all receive 350 points!
For killing the Brute, SPECTRE-007 (Chink) receives the +TK-80+ handgun!
For besting the odds three times in a row, WIGHT-007 (Dustan Hache) receives 100 bonus points!


HQ radioes in.

"Good job, Alpha-007 squad. GHOUL-007 and REVENANT-007, we're going to ask you to stick with Alpha-007 squad for a while longer. Your next objective is to rendezvous with Spider Squad. We're sending you their coordinates right now."

You move out. About two thirds of the way there, GHOST-007 signals for everyone to stop moving and find some cover. Seconds later, a Hivetech tank rolls by, followed by a squad of soldiers. You wait until they pass. It seems like the Hivetech soldiers are gonna be back... after a minute you keep moving. When you reach the coordinantes, you see a huge horde of the infected clawing at a drop pod. It seems like they're intent on getting inside.


(Oh my bad, for some reason my mind was not functioning there)

"To damnation with these fuckers"[/b]

You draw your handgun (83 vs. 2) and plant a bullet in the heads of the zombie clawing at you, before retreating back into the pod. YOur hurl an incendiary grenade at them, (9 vs. 56), but it lands in a less dense area, and only lights a few of them on fire.
