What? I'm dead? When? How? I don't even remember seeing Porkins in a squad since that last mission like 5 posts ago

[Ashsaber]

@Porkins
I tried to do a cutesy little 2-man mission last session and it didn't pan out.

[LordPorkins]

What! And you volunteered the Great and Majestic Porkins for that suicide mission? Shame on you!


...

Make another one!

Also we're being hunted by another UFO again.

The two folks have been added and are in rotation: Flash the Grenadier, and Arbalest the rookie (to be specced by combat).
Leeroy Porkins the Second will be rescued by a small team led by Vanya.
(Well he's not Porkins right now but he will be when I get my hands on him.)
Vanya now has a Vortex Ninjato and is functionally immortal.

[Mephansteras]

Vanya now has a Vortex Ninjato and is functionally immortal.

Muhahahahahaha


If you want another soldier to customize the 4th Vanya into I can give you one.

-Arbalest, unlike Vanya, promoted into a Samurai immediately. '-'
-If you want her to be reassigned to a different class just give the word.
-Alternatively, if you want her to go full Gunmurai with a shotty and a pistol that works too.

[Mephansteras]

Sure, let's go Shotgun Samurai with her. I haven't really played with that.

In that vein...Lone Wolf, for that +10 to hit & defense when she's out away from everyone.

[LordPorkins]

Blade Master for Porkins

[Ashsaber]

@LordPorkins
You're gonna have to give me one for each set of three, otherwise I'll just do whatever with them.

[LordPorkins]

Oh, Sorry. Hard Target and Shadowstep. Essentially i want him to charge in, kill, then charge out

The UFO that was hunting us vanished.

-On Dock: An HQ Assault mission with five Vortex Samurai.

-Leeroy at the moment is closer to an in-fighter than a skirmisher. Also he has dapper monocle, though it's kind of hard to see...

[LordPorkins]

Alright then. Give him Bladestorm. Nice touch with the monocle tho. What episode did you design him in?

[Ashsaber]

@LordPorkins
The episode after the one he was rescued, so the beginning of Cyber Caldera, in the section of missions before the most recent batch.
Could be a bit wrong though.

[Mephansteras]

Poor Syndra. At least she had an honorable death taking out an enemy first.
