Krom exits as well, watching those sparring.

Kyle nods his head... and then punches Will in the gut.
"If you ever touch my fucking computer without my permission again I'll castrate you."

"Ow! I swear, I didn't even lay eyes on your computer!"

"So when we came in there that was like, the first time you ever talked to like, people?"

Neferis thinks for several moments, and then nods slightly.

"Ooooooh, then we need to like, take you to some people who can show you like, how normal people act!"
Bethany attempts to lead Nef to Will, hes smart and probably know how normal people act!

"Hello there, Beth, Neferis. 'Sup?"

"Quartz? Why is thjere quartz inside the ice? The weather report said nothing about minerals."

<...This house contains a couple of demons, God, a being capable of summoning multiple other gods, multiple superheroes, an immortal serial killer, a very small serial killer, etc, and you're concerned about mundane quartz in hail?>

Kyle hands Will the flashdrives.
"Replace the shitty mary sue fics with those. Please."

Will shrugs.


<Already got these. Thanks, though.>

(I brought that up to PW a month ago and he shot it down. )

((If it's enough of a problem that it's driving players away...))

Kyle looks for Will.

He is tapped on the shoulder.
"Yes?"

That works.

I still don't understand why you'd want to play on normal. It'd be too easy.

You're making me feel bad.

What I don't understand is why aren't floaters as terrifying? They have the same gun (And aim bonus.), I think the same natural aim, can fly, and always have half cover in the air. Aside from suicidal leaps, why aren't they as scary?

They don't come in as huge of swarms. The only escort mission I failed was due to zillions of the bastards airdropping into some sciency facility.

If you're curious, it's not actually possible to wait out all the Chrysalids before activating the airstrike. They come infinitely.

Can be useful, if you want tonnes of free exp.

But Chrysalids can not spawn for a few turns. I've had 3 turns during which none spawned (I had the time to go activate and get out of the boat).

I wonder how quickly can one complete that mission. A Hover SHIV likely can't activate the panel, so the fastest way is probably a fast MEC Trooper with jump boots, after Improved Servomotors research, flanked with SHIVs for support. Or perhaps a regular trooper with Sprinter and the leg musculature genemod. Preferably an Assault, so Run&Gun can be used.

Hover SHIVs are capable of activating the panel, all SHIVs are. SHIVs function just like a soldier, so there's nothing key to a mission they can't do.

And that is weird.

I can't help but wonder. Barring flying enemies, is there anything a relatively cheap squad of 6 rocket-punching MECs can't handle? I mean, even a Sectopod is going to fold in three hits, with the improved punch especially, so a team of six can kill two Sectopods in one turn.

Enemies who don't stand still long enough?
