Climb up. See if any of our dead comrades are still there. We might loot them.

>Blip. Blip. Blip. Nothing. Maybe the bugs left. Maybe they finished off what's left of your squad above and left.

or the bug is just sitting motionless waiting for you. Still I would go back and loot the body of my dead comrades

kill myself. it's best to just end my life on my own terms. if not, i'm going to be horribly and painfully mudered in the the most grizzly way possible

>>8085793

You drag the collapsable utility ladder over to the roof hatch and start climbing. You slowly stick your head out and scan the are. There's a bug here. It's chewing on Sergeant's Killen's face.

It hasn't seen you yet. You can probably sneak away in the other direction, or you can go back down to the maintenance room.

It will notice us very quickly if we move. Shoot at its head and take cover to avoid acid blood.

>>8085837
Gristly.

Grizzly is a bear. Fuck.

>>8085840

Also, your understanding of the Xenomorph seems quite weak. A Xenomorph wouldn't stay and 'chew' on someone's face. Either it kills you or it turns your into biomass.

>>8085840

Aim for its face and pour your last 10 rounds at it. Be sure to duck acid blood

>>8085840
try again around to see there's anything worth salvaging (AMMO). Alien probably doesn't take ammo.

Go away if there's nothing (no left over gun or ammo). Otherwise try to kill the alien with your ten bullets and hope the noise doesn't draw the xeno.

Answer already, OP. I wanna see where this goes.

Listen up. Our only chance of survival is quickly taking out this lone alien, and then salvage all the ammo we can and run for it. We know there are more bugs out there, and we need to stay on the move.

wtf OP

Do your job, you lazy asshat.

>>8085852

Cautiously, you pull yourself up and rest your butt againt the edge of the hatch. You slowly unsling you pulse rifle, brace it against your shoulder, and take aim at the xenos head.

Suddenly, the damn thing twitches its face in your direction. You pull the trigger. One. Two. Three bursts later and the bug's head explodes like a ripe melon. Acid spews everywhere, but you're too far away to have any splashed on you. Sergeant Killen's corpse, on the other hand, isn't so lucky.

You quickly pull yourself up. Suddenly, you hear your motion sensor scream. Holy shit. Dozens of them. They're all coming down from the north end of the corridor and they're coming for you.

You dash over to corporal Milton's corpse, and grab a handful of spare magazines and a transmitter.

They're coming closer now. You eye the hatch. You can go back down, or you can run toward the south end of the corridor.

>>8085900

Sorry, sorry sorry, long update, and I'm trying to watch my spelling.

Is it possible to close the hatch after climbing down. This will slow the bugs down for a while.

CLIMB BACK UP AND SEE IF I CANT SALVAGE SOME AMMO

>>8085960

Yes, it is possible to close the hatch, although the cover is just a very flimsy grille.

>>8085960

Name/tripfagging for this thread.

I love AvP.

>>8085972

I say we quickly climb down, cover the hatch and see if we can find another exit.

>>8085936
(just a reminder, each pulse rifle cli- I mean mag have 99 rounds in total, assuming it's loaded full)

go down the hatch.

>>8085998
(same guy) what kind of transmitter? radio transmitter? some sort of beacon?

>>8085998

You dive for the hatch and slide your way down the ladder, slamming close the metal grille along the way.

You're back where you started. You slam a fresh magazine into your pulse rifle. The ammo counter refreshes to "99". You hear the pattering of xeno claws above you, followed by a loud "clang".

Shit. They're working on the hatch.

There's the access to the ventilation system here.

Do we want to go in?

Can we get any background info? What is this place and why are we here? Is it a rescue mission at a colony?

>>8086021

Standard issue long range communication device, for keeping a marine in contact with the chain of command.

>>8085998

*cough* if you're going by the movie and not the games, it's 95 rounds.

If we climb into the vent, the bugs have an advantage, but so do we. If we know which direction they're coming from, they're basically dead. However, every bug we kill blocks the way with its blood. I say we go in and crawl like a fucking madman.

>>8086072

There's not much choice here. You kick open the ventilation cover and scan the interior with your motion sensor. No readings. You get on all fours, snap on your flashlight, and start crawling forward.

You come to a T-intersection. Left is toward the medical facility. Right is toward the labs.

You sweep the motion tracker behind you. High pitched whine. Shit. They're right behind you. Make a decision, quick!

Btw, OP. If spell-checking is slowing you down, skip it. We're fighting for our lives here.

Climb inside with your back first and spray em with lead. Aiming won't be a problem.

>>8086040

They don't tell you much. All you know is that this is Weyland Yutani Facility 9 on the planet Argos IV. There's been a major xenomorph infestation on a neighboring colony, and this facility was a rallying point for refugees.

Your mission is to drop and rescue what civilians and science personel you can before the xenos gets them.

You're part of Delta squad - the only one left. Your job was to scout out the northern part of the facility to signs of refugees.

>>8085772
its hopeless, bullet to head

>>8086124
get to medical. maybe there's medicine or something useful.

>>8086153

If we survive this confrontation, I say we go for the medical facility and search for others.

>>8086149

They're coming in too fast. You reckon you can't out-crawl them in time. You've got to take a stand and take a stand now.

You sit up, put your back to the wall, and take aim. You suddnely see a bug to caught in your flashlight beam. You depress the trigger. Its head gets washed with lead and explodes. Acid hisses.

For a while, nothing else comes. You check your motion sensor. They're still here, and they're still coming.

Then, you hear a clatter above you. The bastards!

What kind of labs are we talking?

Were we told what this facility does before droping?

By the way, do we have any other weapons? Might come in handy if we encounter any other marines/refugees.

>>8086224

Weyland Yutani Facility 9 is a research facility dedicated to creating better pharmaceutical products using the planet's specialized and indigineous fauna.

The corps brass suspect there's more than painkillers being researched here, but WL denies all of it, of course.

Keep our position and take them out one and one.

>>8086232

We have a standard issue pistol with two spare magazines, 15 rounds each.

I say make a quick jump to the left, towards medical and keep backing up while firing at the xenos. If they're above us, does that mean they're outside the vents? Then we better fucking MOVE MOVE MOVE.

>>8086247

Crawl for the labs.

Very very quickly.

>>8086266

We're not inside the vent atm.

>>8086250

Won't work. You can't see them. Some are above you, but you suspect a couple are below too. They're moving all over the place. They could be in another vent, or they could be on the floors above and below you.

You should move, though, before they get the drop on you.

I got one vote for labs and one vote for medical. Need a tie breaker.

>>8086280
no grenades? drop a few behind you and blow up the xeno.
Failling that, you were always an asshole.

We better head to medical ASAP

Medical. useful supplies

We've got a comms transmitter, so let's call up command, whoever's left on the line. See if there's a rally point or secure area anywhere. Any reinforcements coming?

>>8086280

CRAWL BITCH CRAWL

The labs might be more secure if they were doing SEKRET research in them.

>>8086330

This man has a point.

>>8086330
research on Xeno's most likely. Probable epi-center

Pay attention to the posts, guys, damn..

The votes are for medical; quick before they fucking kill us dead.

>>8086330
chances is those defense doesn't recognize marine as "friendly", evil corp and all.

>>8086349

We're just waiting for the OP. He's not too fast.

>>8086339
He does, but who wants security? We're a SPESS MEHREEN!

>>8086308

You sling up your rifle and make your way to medical. A few minutes of crawling later, you find yourself in the facility's med bay. It's seen better days. The power's out, and you can only see where your flashlight shines.

You hear a sudden crashing noise from from the vent. Shit, one of them must have dropped in. You look around frantically and spot a large and heavy looking medical cabinet. Quickly, you summon all your strength to haul the thing over the vent cover. It's blocked, for now.

You sweep the room with your flashlight. There are a couple of medical kits which you happily pocket. There's only one door, and it leads into the corridor.

You've got some time to think, private - not much, but enough.

>>8086330

That's probably where the aliens are coming from. Well, that or the Predators. This _is_ AVP quest after all.

I think the OP needs a copy of the Colonial Marines Technical Manual.

http://rapidshare.com/files/6763215/Aliens-_1_.Colonial.Marines.Technical.Manual.pdf.html

>>8086367

Radio HQ and report in, get status.

>>8086367
try using the radio and contact other marines.
so, what's the medical science like? just painkiller and all that?

I won't feel safe continuing with that xenomorph behind me in the vent. Who knows when it finally manages to get out?

>>8086385
ah shit possible spoilers there man.

Where do the corridors lead? Is there any computers in the med bay where we can access site schematics.

Give the predator a hug.

>>8086397
This, while keeping your distance from both the door and the vent.

where were we headed before delta squad was wiped out?

>>8086410

A FACEHUG! AMIRITE!?!

>>8086397
>>8086426

Wasn't our radio wrecked?

>>8086440
we looted a new one from a dead marine

>>8086399

You plug the new transmitter into your comm bead. For a while, you hear nothing but static. Then, you hear someone speaking. It's Major Dallas, the officer in command of this operation.

"... Delta's gone. Alpha's gone... guys from Bravo made it back, barely... no suriv... no lifesigns ... not risking any more of my men... electromag ... nomena on the other side .... net interfer... th communications. We're bugging out. This mi... a bust... back to the Kilomanjaro. Nuke this place to hell.

"Command! Command!" You yell into the comm. "This is Delta-4, do you copy? Repeat, this is Delta-4, DO YOU COPY!?

Static.

The comm goes dead.

Fuck.

>>8086440

We scavenged one off dead guy in the vent, remember? Along with the ammo.

I also would like us to find some kind of good, fortified position, well-lit and enclosed, where we can meet the pursuing xeno and kill it properly.

>>8086431

>>8086458

Shit just got real.

Run out the corridor.

>>8086440
Was it? I must've missed that then.
Tripfagging from now on so you won't be so lonely <3

>>8086458

Oh fuck. How far to the hangar bay/landing pad/something that has space shuttles or escape pods in it?

>>8086406

There's no power, unfortunately. The sergeant had the digital map for the facility. He's a puddle of melted flesh now.

You remember a little bit of the facility layout from the briefing. The medical facility leads out to the central corridor, which runs in a circle around the facility and connects to many of the major sections.

>>8086478

Is it just me, or did it just get hotter in here?

Not to de-rail the thread, we need to get the fuck out. Run.

>>8086458
okay, now we have to contact the ship some how ASAP.
the message mention electromagnetic interference. Either we get some not affect or stop the interference.

Where was beta squad? they made it out safely so maybe we should head there.

Whats around us in the corridor?? We need to find a computer and building schematic. How far are we from the labs?

>>8086482

There are two landing pads. The civilian one is to the north, through the crew barracks and and dining hall.

The corporate one is to the south, through the labs and security offices. Both are about a good 20 minutes away, and this place is infested to hell with bugs.

>>8086509

I think contacting anyone else is pretty much impossible. We gotta keep moving and escape this hell.

I say we look around Medical for some duct tape, it always comes in handy.
>>8086502
I, good sir, am no buggerer of boys. At least not in any way that I'd be likely to admit in public.

>>8086514
hmm there'll be more weapons and ammo toward the military pad but the civilian route will give us more evidence to were the xeno's came from.

Hey guys, can I play?

>>8086510

You should be able to get to the labs by going left along the corridor.

>>8086509

Beta squad was suppose to check out the reactor room, to see if they can jumpstart the power.

>>8086526
If the ship does a good job of nuking, there shouldn't be a place left to run. Not to mention that even if we survive the nuking we are stranded.

>>8086514

Hmm. Corporates should have bugged out when they got word of what's coming, and there's got to be a lot of civvie craft left from when all the refugees landed. On the other hand, corp stuff should be more durable, and they probably have a few backup shuttles. Going through labs will net us research data maybe, and the security offices should have weapons lockers for us to loot.

>>8086532

We pick up some good ol' duct tape.

We have currently in our inventory:

Pulse Rifle (187 rounds of ammo)
Transmitter
Pistol (40 rounds of ammo)
2 medical kits
Duct tape.

>>8086544

Let's go to the labs. Let's do anything really. We've remained here for too long.

>>8086544
>>8086545
Well the reactor will probably be proofed against a reactor blast might give us a chance against the explosion.

>>8086562
Sweet, now we can fix the reactor!

>>8086514
Go security offices. Probably weapons and something defensible. Plus, if there was any resistance at all, they probably thinned out the bug numbers in that area. And most likely feed from camera's from all around the compound, so you can get a relative idea of how clear your path is.

>>8086544
>>
Beta squad was suppose to check out the reactor room, to see if they can jumpstart the power.

well obviously they failed.

how long would it take for them to actually nuke the place? 20 mintue is a good way to run. Even if we get to the craft we don't have keys.

>>8086548

Through fuzzy logic, I get the feeling that we want to head to the labs.

You wrestle open the door and find yourself in the corridor. You make your way down the left end, and suddenly find yourself stumbling over the lower half of some poor security guard. The pulpy flesh at his waist looks charred and cauterized. A bug didn't do this.

Suddenly, your motion sensor beeps. Contact. At least six or seven, directly in front of you.

The door to the lab is good 60 second sprint to your front - right.

Go for it?

>>8086572

Not to mention the steaming hot BDSM we can have with those sweet xenos.

>>8086586
We should turn back

>>8086586

Fuck yes.

Also, predator.

>>8086586
>he pulpy flesh at his waist looks charred and cauterized. A bug didn't do this.

Meep.

>>8086586
FUCK NO

set transmitter to auto-bleep, throw it in to draw them out, light them up.

>>8086585
The military vehicles won't have keys. WIth all the weapons and equipment along the way its where i put my vote.
Its our best chance.

>>8086611
Good Idea, lets put it into action.

>>8086586
I say go for it.
>The pulpy flesh at his waist looks charred and cauterized. A bug didn't do this.

maybe it's the friendly predator from the first AVP movie and not the KILL KILL KILL predator from the games.

>>8086614

Okay, let's establish a general direction.

Do we want to head for the corporate landing pad or the civilian one?

>>8086611

No need to waste a good transmitter. Throw something noisy, like a piece of metal, down the hall to distract the xenos and make for the door.

>>8086586
I say we make a break for it, I sure remember us being on the high school track team at least.

>>8086620
Its cool we've already gone civilian, ryt?

Civilian landing pad for sure, better chance of actually finding us a vehicle.

>>8086636
What if we run back to back to back to back.

>>8086619

I hope it's the AWESOME ones from the arcade game.

We're going to the civilian one. Now go.

This should go faster.

>>8086611

They're coming fast. They're coming really fucking fast. You don't think you'll be able to make it down to the lab in time. Thinking fast, you take your trasmitter, and set it to music-playing mode. Loud Celtic Death-Metal blasts from the device as you toss it next to the dead-half-security guard.

You shift a few paces back, shoulder your gun, and wait.

Suddenly, a bright flash lights up the entire corridor the security guard's lower body gets vaporized in a shower of super-heated plasma.

You hear the bugs screech, and some other noise which you can't identify. You hear the scything of some blades, a deafening roar, and more brilliant flashes.

You glance at your motion tracker. They're all moving the other way, away from you. Oh shit, you think, what the fuck was that?

>>8086660
Speaking of hot BDSM xeno love..

>>8086682
Nows a good time to run for that door.

>>8086677

Okay - so civilian landing pad? Can all anon get behind that?

>>8086701
Seconded

>>8086707
Yyup

>>8086701

Agreed.

>>8086701

You make a mad dash down the corridor and make your way into the lab. You sweep your flash light around in an arc. Rows upon rows of potted plants and other fauna litter the place. It look surprisingly neat.

>>8086707

Yes.

>>8086721
Lets stay close and book it!

>>8086728

What exits are there?

>>8086682
(god damn it the new avp game is out tuesday.)
head for the lab.
also, Is the transmitter usable? ca you tell?

>>8086728
How do we seal ourselves in?!

to the civies landing pad, go go go!

>>8086728
Anything in the cabinets?

>>8086729

You spot the fire-escape plans pinned to the wall with a helpful digital map of the facility. You quickly study it.

To get to the civilian landing pad, you'd have to go through the crew barracks and dining facilities.

The barracks can be reached from the main corridor, but it can also be reached through what seems to be a low-level maintenance tunnel right below these labs. There should be an access hatch here. You look around, and find it. It's smeared with blood.

Hmm.

>>8086748

(The PvP was okay, but I'll fap to the single player campaigns. Not even joking.)

LET'S GET MOVING.

>>8086728

Check for loot and research notes.

Look for any sort of computer or way to access lab information? I don't know, if we're here, aren't we supposed to gather plot info?

Other than that, I roll a Knowledge: Nature check to identify the fauna.

Run for the damn labs, guns are always good, especially if you now have to deal with predators.

>>8086728
Are there any green, red or blue herbs?

>>8086766
Pocket the fire escape plans

>>8086766
Maintenance tunnel = TERRIBLE IDEA

>>8086763

You rummage through the lab. Nothing special. Drugs. Some unidentifyable chemicals.

Hmm.. this looks interesting. It's a sealed, heavy metal cylinder marked "X Acid D-16".

You depress the opening seal and look inside. Shit. This is xenomorph acid.

>>8086766

Blood. That's a good sign. I say we go there.

head toward the barracks, loot anything guns and spare amoo you can find.

>>8086766
Wouldn't a maintinence hatch be smaller and have more stuff for bugs to hide behind? I'd take my chances in an open area where my rifle can open up from longer distances.

>>8086775

There are rows upon rows of computers, but the power's out.

>>8086800

If we have a way to carry that shit, seal it back up and hang onto it. It burns through EVERYTHING.

We need a tie-breaker for corridor vs. hatch.

>>8086766
is there an armory?
I say go down the vent. Unless it's a big whirling fan of doom some poor schmuck probably got caught by a pred or alien going down the vent.

>>8086800

This could be useful for getting through sealed doors etc.

Save it.

CORRIDOR

>>8086813
Lets take the acid and get to the main corridor.

Corridor, quickly now!

>>8086827
Main corridor. Rifles are better in more open spaces.

>>8086800

W-Y up to their usual shenanigans, eh? I say pocked the cylinder. We might get to use it later.

>>8086843
>>8086856
>>8086857
GO

>>8086830

You decide to take your chances with the vent.

You seal the acid cylinder back up and take it with you, along with the digi-map of the facility.

You lower yourself into the hatch and find yourself facing a long, narrow tunnel, the end of which you can't make out.

Slowly, you crawl forward, your weapon aimed and ready. You hear a faint clicking behind you. The motion tracker confirms - something is coming up on you.

It's going to be hard to turn around in this confined space.

You can try turning around and shooting it, or go forward as fast as you can.

>>8085880
NOT BIOMASS YOU FUCKING FUCK WHAT ARE YOU A NID PLAYER YOU MOTHERFUCKER THIS IS AVP NOT FUCKING 40K IT WANTS TO IMPREGNATE YOU NOT TURN YOU INTO GOOP FUCKING FUUUUUUCK

>>8086865

SHIT, you guys are too slow. I started typing before that.

>>8086871
Wait, we're going where?!

run like fuck, get away and turn at a corner.

>>8086871

Turn around and spray. We can't outrun bugs, preds neither.

>>8086877
Is there any turning back GM?

>>8086871

HERESY. We're fucked.

Vent was the first vote for the tiebreaker though, wasn't it? I guess we should accept our fate.

But... I would say BOOK IT? Can face huggers do their thing from behind?

>>8086871
Pull out the pistol and fire it backwards with 1 hand while running forwards through the tunnel.

>>8086892

Eh, let's see where it runs.

>>8086871
Crawl like you mean it, soldier!

>>8086871
I've had it with running and this damn vent
WE STAND... crouch AND FIGHT!

>>8086893

I'd certainly hope they can't.

>>8086897
Seconded!

>>8086893
OH GOD THE HORROR!

>>8086872

Excuse me. I meant gluing you to the wall, so it looks like you're turning into the semi-biological material that xenomorph nests are composed of. Biomass was the only term that came up in my head.

>>8085770
Good Lord. Thank God you're not at AɳoɳTalk.com.

Take a sit on the ass, grab rifle properely, light up the tunnel and wait. As soon as something shows up... SHORT, CONTROLLED BURSTS.

>>8086893

Pretty sure it'll latch onto your neck and just crawl around and facefuck you.

>>8086943
Welcome, brother, into our ranks.

>>8086929
That's silicate-based. And they don't exactly turn you into it. They excrete it.

After eating you.

So I guess they do turn you into it... just not like you meant.

>>8086897

You sling your bulky rifle and pull the pistol out form its holster. You crawl forward as fast as you can while snapping shots behind you.

It's getting closer. Suddenly, you feel something slimy jump on the back of your neck. Panicking, you quickly rip at it with your hand and manage to throw it off.

You hear a thump as it lands and feel something coil itself around your foot.

What the fuck is that?

You're panicking now. You're sweating, and adrenaline is taking potshots at your lungs. You look up. Oh thank god, the hatch. You pull yourself up and kick hard against the edge of the hatch.

It's a face hugger. And it's got its tail coiled around your leg. Without thinking, you rip the little fucker off your foot and throws it clear across the room.

It sails through the air, and suddenly, some brilliant energy slams into it from the other side of the room and pops it like a balloon in mid-air.

Stick our rifle between our legs and fire behind us.

Shit pants

Piss pants and run out op room.

>>8086968
I SURRENDER!

>>8086968

Shit, pred.

Should we assume it's unfriendly and likely to rape us with its claws?

>>8086968

Void bowels.

Quickly observe room and hide from source of energy blast?

>>8086968

Try to fire at the origin of the energy discharge without getting out of the vent into the room.

>>8087007

Do you WANT your head exploded by a plasma cannon?

>>8086998

Dumb idea. They have heat vision.

>>8086982

You're in one of the crew barracks. It's got one row of bunk beds along the side and a row of cabinets and foot lockers in the other.

The door is on the other side of the room. It leads to the secondary corridor which leads to the dining rooms and the VIP club.

That's where the energy projectile originated from.

>>8087007

If we anger it, it'll blast us with plasma.

Thermal Vision and automatic lock-on.

>>8086992

You have no fucking clue what that was, much less its intentions.

>>8087016

What are we supposed to do, reason with it? I don't see any convenient sources of mud around, so unless we can mask our heat signature, we WILL be visible to that thing as soon as we leave the vent.

>>8086968
Get up there! If an energy blact can fuck up a face hugger, it can fuck up you.

I still say we should try to look friendly and non-threatening.

>>8087018
isn't the dinner place where we need to go? and there's a predator sitting inside? we are kind of screwed

>>8087034

You can head back to the maintenance tunnels and try another hatch further down, but if there's one face hugger, there are probably more.

Or, you can try to hide in one of the cabinets or under the bunk beds.

Conversely, you can say fuck it and try to rambo your way out.

>>8087018

If there's anything like shoes, pillows, or other things like that within easy reach, grab one and throw it across the doorway to see if it's a motion-sensitive turret and/or twitchy gunner.

>>8086968
Holster the sidearm, grab pulse rifle again. Find closest cover and wait.

>>8087034

Don't think we can communicate with it at the moment. We might be able to show that we are an ally by killing an alien in its presence. (Mainly referencing the movie here)

>>8087030

Well, if we don't know what the fuck that is, we may as well take our chances. In-character, our Marine might believe it's some kind of new W-Y gun technology or something, so I suggest calling out and stepping into the room in a non-threatening way.

>>8087064
Under the bed seems like a heroic a place as any to hide.

>>8087064

ONE VOTE FOR RAMBO

WHAT'S THE MATTER MARINES YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER

>>8087069

Um... Didn't Arnold try that in the first predator movie?

Surely it'll come in for a trophy kill on us.

We need to splash the ground with the vile of acid blood with its Human/blue vision on it won't see it. Might not kill it but we cud fuck it up long enough too put some rounds into it.

>>8087034
>>8087064
well, predator doesn't killed unarmed, maybe if we lay down our arms...
BAD IDEA BAD IDEA BAD IDEA.

>>8087064
Only Rambo can be Rambo, it would probably fail hard to try. And it's probably not a good idea to go further down. At least if you're in a cabinet it masks your heat signature.

Hide, wait and see what happens.

I need some sort of consensus guys.

>>8087085

What, are we genre-savvy now or something?

>>8087064

Hiding from an enemy will result in summary execution.

But honestly, >>8087077
THAT'S how you get killed. Notice how most people who do shit like that die immediately? Even bitches that are smarter die for no reason.

But.. still, what do we do?

>>8087086

Not a bad idea.

>>8087080
agreed

>>8087084
Yes, preferably back on earth in one piece.

>>8087085

and it was like BITCH YOU THINK I'M DUMB

I'M WEARING A FUCKING COMPUTER DUMBASS, FUCK

Throw canister at door while opening fire with pulse rifle, take cover behind anything close.

>>8087122
We wait in the cover somewhere around the vent, with rifle ready.

>>8087069
second this.

One more word for wait and see. Let's observe what the pred's going to do.

>>8087122

Rambo vote here. Changing it to hide like a bitch, for the sake of consensus.

>>8087165
We don't even know what it is yet. At least if we wait we might see what it is.

Hide in a cabinet, wait for it to come in or go away.

Proceed to the VIP room. See predator getting swarmed by aliens. Blast aliens.

Fistbump predator.

I'd enjoy this so much more if we got to be anything but a marine.

I'm considering starting another one.

Take cover and wait

>>8087197

Get fistscythed.

>>8087200

This, but not for long. Keep pulse rifle pointed at the door.

>>8087219
Yeah, man. Killstealing is srs business.

>>8087134
Okay, by fuzzy logic, it seems like we're going to hide under the bed.

You slowly inch your way along the ground and roll yourself under the nearest bunk bed, all the while keeping an eye on the motion tracker (after hitting the mute button).

There's definitely movement. One solid dot. It looks like it's moving way from you.

Suddenly, you hear gunfire. Lots of gunfire. Something roars and shrieks.

More gunfire and plasma bursts.

After a long, and what seems like a pitched battle, things go silent.

Footsteps shuffle into the room.

You hear a conversation.

"Target escaped. Possibly wounded."

"Understood. We will proceed with primary mission. Terminate all Weyland-Yutani personel."

You sense someone right beside the bed. You turn your head and see a foot, but you can also make out the milky fluid leaking from it.

An android?

What do you do?

>>8087199

Marines < aliens or predators.

Check it out! They've got multiple independently-targeting particle beam flailings. WHAP! Fryap city with this puppy.

They got nukes, knives, SHARP STICKS

We can't wait for long, the whole facility's going up in nuclear fire soon, remember? Stay motionless, scan the area, check the motion sensor, but this shouldn't take a lot of time.

>>8087238

Oh fuck.

I say we wait until it's moving away from us and then shoot it.

>>8087238
How much ammo we have in total?

If we have about 3 magazines, I say we take cover and ambush the synthetic.

GO FOR THE OPTICS!

>>8087238

>You sense someone right beside the bed. You turn your head and see a foot, but you can also make out the milky fluid leaking from it.

>>8087238

Wait until the blip representing it is walking away, roll out from under the bed, then apply bullets to the back of its head. MAXIMUM NINJA.

>>8087251

HISS

Need I say more?

>>8087290

According to your motion sensor, there are at least three synthetics in the room.

They seem to be patching each other up, from the sound of it.

>>8087280

False. Do not shoot.
Are we WY personnel? I don't think Marines count, unless OP said they did at some point.

Ally with these androids for great success?

>>8087238

We're not W-Y, we're Colonial Marines. Maybe the synth won't kill us if we announce ourselves...

Ah, fuck it. Shoot them all, take their ammo.

>>8087238
Synths make poor judgment calls we have to eliminate it.

>>8087238
Mad plot twists! What is this? A Squaresoft RPG?
I say we roll out from cover and pop that clown.

Wait until andriods are far enough way then shoot them in the head. Loot the corpses then peer into hall.

>>8087238
I doubt those androids are friendly hide some more and see if we can learn more.

>>8087290

We have a nearly full mag in the rifle and one backup.

>>8087298

>MAXIMUM NINJA.

I like this suggestion immensely, but let's remember that there's probably more then one of the blighters.

If we're man enough, kill two and wound one. Begin interrogation.

>>8087326
Then wait untill it turns around roll out from the bed quietly and shoot it in the back of the head. Then loot it and get in cover quickly, aiming for the door.

>>8087313

No. The corps answers only to the government and sometimes colonial authority.

W-Y, however, does provide a large percentage of equipment for the corps.

Synth team seems to be on a different mission than our Marine one. It's likely that the facility isn't going to get nuked until these guys are finished. For one Marine to take out 3 synths, 2 of them out of visual range? The odds aren't good on this one. I say we talk to them.

>>8087313
>>8087314
don't make unnecessary enemy, and nothing hurt with giving the predator and alien more targets to kill.

>>8087310

>HISS

I don't know what that is. All I know is that when I hear a Pulse Rifle fire, I cream my pants.

RRRRRRRRRRT

RRRRRRRRRRT

I need more consensus for my fuzzy logic to work.

Right now it seems like anon wants to talk.

Is that the case?

>>8087367
Actually I agree with this now.

>>8087376
If all they are after is W-Y, and we're not W-Y, they shouldn't be hostile.

>>8087376

Parley. We need allies on this one, and the bugs and plasma shooting guy aren't talking. At least the robots can be reasoned with. Mostly.

>>8087356
stay hide until we can learn more. the android might decide to silence any marines as well. They are probably assuming all the marines are dead/left but will kill any straggler (like me)

>>8087376

What the hell, why not. Announce ourselves very clearly as a Marine.

I'll go with avoiding MAXIMUM NINJA and hoping they'll just go the hell away.

It's starting to sound like the syn's are Wayland-Yunti troops sent in to cover up evidence that W-Y was the ones fucking around with xeno eggs in the first place.

I don't know anything about Synths, but sure. Talk? Can we throw our voice?

I remember being an excellent voice-thrower in my academy days.

>>8087356

PROCEED WITH YO DAWG

try to talk, if things go sour kill them.

>>8087376
NO BAD IDEA BAD IDEA. It's like half life with shepherd, they will silence you. At the least if it's one on one maybe we can subdue an android but three on three?

Consensus seems to be talk- if another minute of listening doesn't give us good reason to believe we'll be mulched for our trouble.

Wait, wait right here.

First, synths will shoot us for certain. Marine or not, they are cleancing the facility. They are possibly from another corporation - marines wouldn't purge W-Y facility.

Second, we have little chances with them. Wait, possibly for opportunity to strike them in the back, very hard and very fast. Spend whole mag if possible, but take them down. If they won't turn backs on you, wait till they go away.

>>8087424

BEST MACRO EVER

SAVED

>>8087435

We're a Marine in AVP. I came into this thread expecting BAD END from the start, I'll be surprised if we make it out before the nuclear fire hits.

>>8087445
Heheheh, but back on topic! I say we talk to them at gunpoint. If their mission is in danger of being compromised they won't do anything stupid.

Wait under bed

I'm out, guys. Things going too slow.

Good evening.

P.S. I might arse myself to make an alien quest tomorrow.

>>8087396

Okay.

Slowly, you roll out from under the bed and stand up.

"Hey!" you yell. "I ain't a bug.'

A series of clicks and clacks later, and you find yourself staring down three gun barrels. You look over the three synths and notice that they're all heavily wounded.

One of them got his arm blown clean off, the other has a gaping hole through his chest, and the last has half its face melted off by acid.

You also notice, though washed out, that one of them wears the Weyland-Yutani tattoo next to his serial number on his chest.

The one-armed synth seems to be their leader. He speaks. "Mr.Horinghar, I have a live one here. A Marine."

You hear some chatter from the other end.

"No sir. Yes sir. No sir, the target has eluded us. Understood sir."

He gets off his comm.

You hear a screech and a hiss from outside the room.

The lead synth turns to his fellows. "You two, check it out."

They comply.

He then turns to you.

"You, drop your weapon. Hands behind your back."

>>8087471

A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Corps!

>>8087512

Forgot the obligatory "What do you do?"

"Nope."

Burst fire, right to the head.

>>8087487

>gunpoint

They're otherwise occupied, so if we could get them at gunpoint we should probably be able to chat with them safely.

But we're under the bed, so deploying like that would be tough.

>>8087512
Shit soup. You guys pack us into worst shit.

Drop the rifle VERY slowly, giving two other synths time to go away.

>>8087512
SPLASH THE FUCKING ACID ON HIS FACE IMMEDIATELY

>>8087512
Promptly piledrive the synth as an homage to our earlier days as a luchador.

Oh Shit.

>>8087538
He's already got a gun pointed at us. Bad idea to try and get rifle/pistol to firing position now.

>>8087512

"On whose authority?"

But don't be dickish about it. No waving around guns or anything. Maybe suggest that we could help, in exchange for survival.

>>8087512
Pretend to slowly drop our weapons, get his guard down, and bam, acid in his face.

>>8087512
do it slowly, and talk slowly. Convince him the alien is a bigger threat.

>>8087560
"JUSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!"

>>8087560
>>8087548
He is aiming at us.

If you want to try to outreflex a synthetic, I suggest taking a head-first dive in the vent. Chances of survival are pretty much equal.

Drop the piece, but take a very long time. Wait for other synths to go away.

>>8087538

>Wayland-Yuntai symbol

Confirmed as W-Y corporate cleanup squad to destroy evidence of wrongdoing.

>hands behind back

Intend to take you back alive, but trussed up, since killing Colonial MUHREENZ isn't so clever, because W-Y might have some pull with the military- or they with them- given the big defense contracts, or whatever.

>heavily damaged- click and hiss outside room

but it doesn't matter because they're about to be fucking mulched anyhow. Waste the fucker.

No offense.

>>8087576
Seconded, although actually put the rifle down, but while unholstering the pistol sneak the acid out and make like a porn video. Acid cumshot in his face.

>>8087512

"Lessee. You're damaged, I'm not. How about YOU drop your fucking weapon and then I don't shoot you in the fucking head and then you can tell me what the fuck is going on here."

wait, we didn't have the prudence to point our gun at them?

derpderp

>>8087577

On second thought, this. Reason with them. "Dudes, you have god knows what trying to claw through that door and you're wounded. I'll help if you don't fucking shoot me."

>>8087548

Thinking fast, you slowly lower your left arm, as if complying with the order. You take your right hand and grip the acid cylinder.

Suddenly, you bash your pulse rifle against the barrel of his gun, knocking it to the side momentarily. You bring up your right, and splash the acid at his face.

He twists suddenly to the right, narrowly dodging to acid, but a huge glob of it still lands on his one good shoulder. Acid hisses. You throw all your weight on him and slams him to the ground. His one arm twitches violently, then stops.

He opens his mouth, probably to yell for help, but you slam the butt of your rifle into his face and manages to muffle the noise.

You hear gunfire from the corridor. You check your motion tracker. A large blob of contacts are moving away from you.

What do you do?

Take the synth's weapon(s) and ammo. Plus any other useful equipment.

Figure out where i am and continue on my way to the landing pad.

>>8087629

RUN LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER

>>8087629
LOOOOOOT EEEEEET

>>8087596
I like where your head's at

>>8087647

Reminder: the synth is still very much alive and operational. He just can't do much to you, on the account of him having no arms and you having a gun to his face.

>>8087647

This, and the fucking commbead. Get whoever is on the other end of the line. Maybe we can help them finish the synths' mission, and they can help us get out of this shit alive.

>>8087670
Smash his brain with the boot or rifle butt. THEN LOOT IT.

>>8087670
*Now* can we go luchador? Pretty please with sugar on top?

>>8087629
>>8087647
Got to kill him first. Use pistol for point-blank headshot to save rifle ammo, then go out and follow where the other ones went. Better to have something trying to kill the aliens near you.

>>8087670

Put the pistol to its head, interrogate.

>>8087688
SUPLEX TIME MOTHERFUCKER!

FOR JUSTICE! AND HONOR! AND JESUS AND THE VIRGIN MARY!

>>8087629
Yay! We used my plan! Lets pile up on that door and make sure nothing gets through, possibly waiting for the large group of targets to pass us by.

>>8087704
I AM EL HOMBRE MAGNIFICO, EL LUCHEROOOOON!

>>8087697
On second thought, this is a better idea.

>>8087697

Make sure to let the android know that if it calls its friends over we blow his brains out.

>>8087689

You keep the pulse rifle trained at his face with your left hand and reach for your pistol with your right.

You plant a quick 3-round burst into his head and his nerve processing center. The synth jerks, and dies.

You take his comm unit, and strip two more fresh mags for your pulse rifle from his belt and equipment. You also find a frag grenated and a compact cutter-torch for welding shut and cutting open doors.

------------------------------------------

OKAY GUYS, this thread is getting huge.

Let's a take a break now and I'll create a new thread momentarily with a recap + summary.

See you in the new one!

Latch on to the fucker and haul him out of the room and into a private spot while the others are occupied.

Then, we chat.

Have some guys secure the door while two others interrogate.

>>8087736
>implying his friends are still alive

Ask the bastard what the fuck are they doing here.

Loot it while interrogating.

>>8087741
Looks like we were too slow, OP started writing before we got the idea to interrogate.

At least the comm unit will let us listen in, maybe we can figure out what's going on that way.

>>8087741
Torch? Fuck yeah!

Now we have to find and kill pred for plasma pistol.

>>8087741

Will someone archive this? Or shall I?

>>8087990
WHY DONT YOU QUIT WASTING YOUR TIME ARCHIVING THIS AND DO SOME ZEONQUEST?

No smartgun? :<

Fucking underequipped android.

>>8087990
>>8087999

Because it's 12:30 at night and I've got work tommorow?

I said there wouldn't be a thread today anyway.

Also, archived. So if someone could do the same for the second thread, that would be great.

>>8088062
YOU ARE SMALL TIME

Fuck man, can someone link the second thread because I absolutely, positively *cannot* find it.

>>8088120
Me neither. WHAT THE HELL, MAN! Must have been fragged.
