Is the APC close enough to the spaceport for me to do plan "Grab the APC and fly it to the spaceport" yet? If yes, do that.

Else, do an Immelmann turn (half-loop) so that I end up higher and facing towards the helicopters. Attempt to stay higher than they are and keep moving between them at high speeds, so as to make using their guns on me and acquiring a missile lock harder.

Try hitting their rotors or tails with the Mining Laser and Violet Mode to make them crash.

If they shoot missiles at me, use Indigo Mode and Mining Laser against them as a countermeasure while attempting to dodge.

If at any time the APC is ready to be evacuated, disengage and evacuate.

EDIT: If they are too many for the above tactic to work, then stay low, use the buildings for cover and take potshots at them while quickly moving between cover with rocket assisted jumps to avoid missile strikes.


>Just keep flying. They're closing off the port. We'll have to get you from outside the city.


"GOOD JOB MEN!"
be ready to reinforce defensive line by ripping off pieces of apc armor that are too damaged to be useful and reinforcing the shields with them

Punch Konrad.
club back, harder
Punch Konrad. Goop him to the wall.
Put down goop/namite thrower, fistbump Taddock, grab shotgun I hopefully strapped to my back.
Fistbump Jack. Reload. Poke my head out of the top hatch and be on the lookout for trouble.
Everyone's celebrations/teammate conflicts inside the apc are brought to a rather abrupt halt went the entire thing jerks violently and then bounces into the air. The crew compartment gets shaken rather badly and the inhabitants find themselves slammed to the floor, the weightless, then slammed into the ceiling, then against the back wall, then the front then the floor again. When things finally stabilize for a moment they notice strange crushed indention s in the metal where something has grabbed them on either side of the vehicle and, judging from what they can see out the holes on the armor and the rush of wind, they're now flying.

Huh.

Unstroke
What are you, a catholic?

Sit down and wait for pickup.
Not much else to do.

Ask Steve if the APC getting grabbed was something of his doing, or not.

(Here's hoping that was one of Steve's shuttles grabbing us for fast extraction...)

((Thought that at first, but found it strange since pw didn't mention anything of it for your action or any real acknowledgment. But it's probably that, yeah, seems most obvious. Paranoia ho!))

While waiting for the other team to finish their job, Renen sits and sends a message to Doc.

Quote from: To Doc
I simulated a battle with an Arbiter while I was on ship and it brought me a question. Besides the cables that the Arbiters use and rockets, which other ways one can use to move while airborne? Also, do you have any suggestions for a long range weapon to fight an Arbiter?

((Oh. Sorry. I didn't answer since you put Morul))

Our mission is done. I don't think they need any help right now, so stay here.

Renen says looking in the direction of the other team.

Okie dokie, At this point it would basically just be a turn or so of Paris flying away from the helicopters, out pacing them and then you guys getting picked up somewhere in the wilderness outside of town. And I could force you to play through that but at this point there have been some people who have been sitting around dead for a while I feel it best just to get things a moving.


We'll do the debrief here.

The debrief will consist of little more then Steve staring at intently at lerman while Milno stands behind him, cracking his knuckles.

Alright, the first team to go in is getting paid less since we had to send a second team in to get them. They might make it up with bonuses for competence (Lerman staring intensifies) or for what they've brought back.

SO. Lets do things like a proper debrief: You tell me what you did for the mission, what you gathered in terms of artifacts or info, and I'll dole out the cash.

If you died on mission, you're alive again. If you died really hard, you're alive again, but a robot. If you were injured, you're healed. If you were REALLY injured, you're a robot. So it goes. Feel free to sign up for other missions even while you're still participating in this debrief. We'll assume it happened chronologically before the briefs I'm about to go write.

Uih, retelling of meritorious deeds. The one thing that had to be connected to my past. Why.
Feyri stood among the others in the debriefing and gazed around through the external sensor system.
Provision of fire support in neutralizing the threat of Faith. That is all.
Mmph.

Be assigned to any mission either Milno or Jim or Faith is on.
Of course, the only method that works best, on paper, and is hindered by personal inhibitions connected to traumatic events.
This is just glorious.

I will volunteer for the next mission. I basically did nothing but walk around and get my lungs burned, but, other than hitting a cat lady over the head, I didn't do anything bad, so... yay, I was just some guy.

It's been a minute! Let's see...

-Tried to subdue, instead of kill, the Chef (his head got exploded)
-Found his keys (Why does no-one look for the keys?)
-Got friendly-fired, spent a few turns getting patched up (thanks yttra!)
-Tried to cripple whoever was possessed before Faith (Konrad, maybe? Too slow on the trigger, unfortunately)
-Swept the upstairs room to make sure no hostiles were being sneaky
-Babysat the APC after Escape #1

So, I tried to do right in my actions, but ended up being pretty low-impact (getting shot sucks) and I've got no alien swag to show for it.

So, what I 'did' this mission:
-assembled the rescue team on a notice shorter than most dwarves
-commanded the mission from then on, gave orders, made teams, yelled at people, etc.
