>No matter what we decide to do to them in the end, we should at least suck out their appendixes in a way that would not alert them and use the resultant biological material as fuel to create armies of blood golems.

>Non-permanent crowd control. Freeze up their tendons in their arms, causing them to drop their weapons. You are not officially the enemy until you kill one

I bet they're going to turn out to be robots or something.

>This. Give all of them a weak heart attack to incapacitate them, (they're presumably healthy young men, they'll be fine) and cause the arm muscles of any still standing to spasm and drop their guns. Then, freeze those still standing and question them on why they're here. Make it quick, before any of them get back up.

observe,Incapacitate and interrogate. Got it.

The soldiers certainly look as though they're actively searching for someone, though they could easily just be searching for any survivors. Their uniforms are the same shade of gray as the concrete around them but they don't seem to have any identifying marks or patches. They do bear a strong resemblance to an example that the "Transcendent man" used repeatedly as an enemy. Deciding that its best to act before you're discovered you render the two soldiers nearest to you unconscious before systematically four more mild heart attacks, rendering them unconscious as well. With some effort you manage to mentally infiltrate the remaining men and temporarily paralyze them. Within a matter of seconds you manage to incapacitate every soldier you see, rendering all but one, the one you wish to talk to, unconscious or paralyzed. The remaining man stands ramrod stiff near the stairs, his finger poised on the trigger of his weapon but unable to use it.

Paralyzed does not mean unconscious, just to let you know, and requires a new roll (just one) every turn to make sure you maintain control. On the other hand it also means you could instantly start puppeting them for use as disposable drones if you want. Anyways, Ask your questions/do what you want with them.

I'd really prefer to have everyone place their weapons in a stack, but others may say 'that's boring'

Well, this is B12G. Anything that doesn't involve a downhill chase by magmabears probably counts as boring.

You drop your metal pipe and take the gun from the petrified man, slinging it over your shoulder before attempting to talk to the man. Despite your best efforts to communicate with the man he doesn't seem to understand you and only barks at you in some strange mix of racial slurs, swears and a broken mix of Russian and Japanese. As you attempt to communicate with the man you let your focus slip slightly, allowing one of the paralyzed men to regain some control of his body. As soon as you notice your mistake you attempt to correct but accidentally burn out the man's nervous system, killing him in a rather horrible and loud way.

Sorry guys, you rolled bad. I don't think that will help diplomatic relations much.

>Kill all but three of them, and experiment with our powers on the alive ones. We're not going to get anything out of them worthwhile (we can't even communicate) so we might as well improve ourselves whilst we're here.

This faction is useless to us, so we might as well support the BF2142 version of the EU since the Pan-Asian Coalition are obviously not going to support our cause. Better snuff out the rest of the nearby PAC and see how the other warring faction will react to us.

I'm totally going to rip on Eragon for this next move

>It should take little to no effort to pinch vital brain components. Giving the medulla a little squeeze will give an almost immediate death.

Do you want to just kill them or do like pathos said and experiment with them a bit. You could probably make something useful out of them or gain some practical experience with brain or nervous system manipulation.
