Alternatively, suggest we nuke the storm to make a hole in it for us to fly through. To create an eye in the storm, if you will.

Go with RC's teleporty plan if it's possible.

Alternatively, if we need to actually go through the storm, have Comrade Dimitri protect the shuttle from any storm-shenanigans.

Make a ludicrously big faraday cage. Also get thousands of pounds of extra scrap metal.

Assist Miyamoto with his actions.  Pray to Algis for safe egress.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

Could I use my pocket dimension generator to open a portal inside the mountain, one portal somewhere outside the storm, after which the shuttles fly close to the portal outside the storm and we board the shuttle through the mountain-side portal, thereby circumventing the storm itself handily?

Alternatively, could we create a very large Faraday Cage with stuff we loot inside this mountain base and use that to power through that storm and get the hell outta here? Or maybe, if a cage is too big, a sort of big lightning rod to hopefully draw the electricity away from us?


By the way, can I still bring the Avatar, or not? Don't wanna go with it if it'll just get commandeered five seconds in, though figuring out the replacement would take time as well.

Sorry to be persistent, but I'd kinda like to know as soon as possible whether or not I'll need to plan out a whole new set of equipment for just this last mission or not.
This plan, the portaling out works.

We'll skip fucking about with the details because eh.

Also your avatar...may not work where you're going. We don't know.

Evacuation. I guess I'll have to catch up now.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.

Evacuate with the team.
