Keep distance, GUN HIM DOWN!

By the way, welcome back AC, we've missed you.

[X] Keep distance, gun him down.
dance my monkey dance, also use the beam rifle lets not waist ammo now

Yeah here at the start again!

[X] Charge him, take advantage of his disorientation.

Set up behind him and knife him down.

>>18747684
Keep distance, he still has a shotgun. No need to run but don't give him a lucky shot.

>>18747684
Charge the fucker.

>PULL A TATCAL NINJA, GET HIM FROM BEHIND!.

Keep distance, gun him down. We can't get bogged down while more are on the way.

>Consensus seems to lean to gunning.

You decide not to just the shotgun, and go for your specialty, mid-range superiority.

You take aim....

>Give me 2d100, one for each gun.
>Beat my roll, you get a plus ten to the attempt.

rolled 16 = 16

>>18747839

>>18747839

>I know right? I roll FANTASTIC.

>Though we are averaging the first three right now.

rolled 84, 14 = 98

>>18747839
lets do this

>>18747877
What's this roll for? Or did you just forget to turn off your dice?

rolled 71 = 71

He fucking jumps straight up in the air.

Not style, no dodging around, just straight up, and then right where he landed.

"What the FU-"

You didn't see such an insane tactic coming, and your shots go wide.

Taking advantage, your opponent, who clearly just had his optics come back on line levels his shotgun and rushes you.

>Time to dodge, beat my roll.

>>18747905

>M-my dice are rolling on their own!

rolled 55 = 55

>Would you like to take an attack of opportunity, or add a bonus to your next action?

rolled 16 = 16

>>18747966
attack of opportunity

>>18747966
We're going to attack soon anyway, so I vote bonus.

rolled 11 = 11

>>18747966
Attack of opportunity, with our luck all the extra attacks will do us better then a bonus since we either do really well or rather poorly with no mid ground.

>>18747966
Bonus, we'll get the bonus to both of our guns instead of just one attack.

Opportunity.

How much is the bonus?

>>18747997

>Same as success rate.

>A plus ten, in this case.

>>18748037
opportunity

>>18748037

Attack of Opportunity, let's smoke this guy.

>>18747984

I'll take those rolls for attacks of opportunity.
Please.

You see your shot, and lash out with your leg as he passes you.

Finally a bit of luck on our side.

Your foot slaws into his damaged arm, and shove part of the shoulder into one of his rear-thrusters. He spins off-course and slams into a wall.

While He's disoriented, you quickly Coup-De-Gras him.

Looking around, you plot for next move....

[ ] Climb the low Mesa to your left, take the high-ground.
[ ] Stay here, only two real routes into this rocky terrain, plenty of cover.
[ ] Try to put some distance between you and your pursuers.

>You have EIGHT rounds left to survive.
>Damage is minimal so far, and you've only shot once with either gun.

>>18748328
Take the high ground, use that position to get info on what's coming and to get some shooting done.

When they get close use the rocky terrain to slow them down and if there's and overwhelming force run like hell.

>>18748328
[ ] Climb the low Mesa to your left, take the high-ground.

rolled 6, 4, 4 = 14

>>18748328
Take the High ground

High ground

>>[x ] Stay here, only two real routes into this rocky terrain, plenty of cover.

Stay in cover and shoot them as they move to us.

rolled 8, 6, 1 = 15

>>18748328

Stay in the chasm and youre boxed in.

This is a survival sim after all.

by the way ACGuy whats the distance on those other ACs?

>>18748344
What he said. Gallipoli them.

>>18748328

>Meanwhile...

You are ARI. You're watching the screen in shock. You were always told your brother was a skilled pilot, but this is the first time you've seen him fly for real.

The fight against that bandit was over as quickly as it started, and his team took out the people attacking Mooch too quickly for him to do much.

Now though? Now he's scored 6 kills in as many minutes.

You look to your right. Mooch is calmly analyzing data, tracking things like heart rate and accuracy.

Dave is next to him watching his own screen, silently fuming that if this keeps up, your brother will beat his 'high score'.

On your left is Josh, a pilot your brother met the other day, and seems to have become a friend. He's watching with a detached analytical gaze quite unlike his normal easy charm.

You eyes go back to the screen.

>>18748392
You know what would be hilarious. Hitting on Dave to throw off Alex's game.

After a moments hesitation, you decide that altitude would make for a better choke point.

You quickly, with a dozen careful, well timed jumps, climb to the top of the Mesa.

Now they'll see you if you try to run, but you like the odds of forcing them to take the high-ground more.

You activate your long range scanning gear, to see what your in for.

>Give me a d20.

rolled 1 = 1

>>18748430
Here comes the swarm?

rolled 7 = 7

Tell me everything, crystal ball.

>>18748424

rolled 3 = 3

See all

>>18748436
Bugger

>>18748436

>HAHAHAHA! I'll take that, thank you.

YOU ARE DAVE. You're watching Alex about to brutally rape your high score.

Then Mooch curses under his breath.

"Sup?"

"Enemy spawn rate just sky rocketed, and then locked me out of the Admin controls."

"We're being hacked?"

"Why the fuck would they hack a simulator? It's a glorified Arcade cabinet! It's probably just a glitch."

I think Nine-ball's coming to play.

>>18748480
Haha fuck.

Time to kick some ass.

>>18748481
Let's save it for the fight.

TO BATTLE!!

>>18748480
If we start to bleed from our ears I vote we bitch at Dave for going above and beyond expectations to protect his high score.

>>18748480
inb4 the safety links have shut off

>>18748517
.....

I agree with this man....
However I say that the team should join him.
Even if its a sim, it can still kill you.

>>18748480
The trekkie in me is worried that there are safety protocols that just got switched off.

>>18748532
Mooch seemed to be under the impression that it couldn't

>>18748532
>Even if its a sim, it can still kill you.
Why can't we do any "low risk" (Or in this case, No Risk) thing without it ending up as a high risk.

First Hope blows up the moment we get laid, then Killbandit and now this, where is my ultra-happy safety?

>>18748572


If Im your mechanic it can probobly kill you in 3,500,321,342 diffrent ways.

YOU ARE ALEX RASTON. And there is no FUCKING way that's accurate.

You go to the cliff's edge, and engage your long-range optics, and bebing walking in a slow circle.

There has to be at least a hundred of them. Coming in from all directions.

"Hey Mooch?" You say into the com bead. "What the hell man?"

"Oh-hoHO! Sorry, but you friend is no longer in control of this combat simulation." A voice you've never heard before chimes in. "I am. I'm just so damned CURIOUS as to how somebody like you just keeps surviving things like this."

"Who the hell are you?"

"Oh right, sorry. *Ahem* Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth, and taste."

"What?"

"Oh sorry, just an old joke of mine. Now if you don't mind we're going to perform a little experiment. I want to see juuust how many of these little guys it'll take to kill you when the time comes. After you survived Hope, I started to, well, lose hope if you'll pardon the pun. And now you're something a bit more irritating than a loose end."

"Who. ARE. YOU?!"

"God, questions and needless hostility, you really are your father's son. GOODY. Thought I heard the last of that drivel when i killed him. Now put on a good show kid! I made popcorn just for this, so please don't disappoint."

>>18748576
I vote next time we go to the arena and beat up Clarkson. Then again with our luck Clarkson would be replaced at the last minute by an untalkative pilot dressed all in white...

>>18748578
>>18748576

>It's a video-game basically. Only danger would be feed-back damage, which it can't do since you can't synch to it.

>BRB, dinner.

>>18748585
"Ohohohoh"?

Are we dealing with some wealthy middle aged lady with fur and a glass of wine in her hand here?

>>18748585
If there are no safety issues I say we tell him to fuck off and stab our core with our sword.

>>18748585

>>18748585

The fucking devil? What the fuck AC?!

>>18748585
You know what we need, we need to cause an avalanche or mudslide or something along those lines.

Pile the two AC's we have near by at the edge of a cliff, shoot all of our rockets at it, time it right and watch the rocks crush everything.

>>18748480

>>18748842
We've got two, since quick refresh at the start of the thread.

I figure we may as well use it.

>>18748842
Nah, we got one at the start of this thread, so if we spend one now that will put us at one left.

>>18748843
Yeah, may as well. Don't want to get fucked up before we get a shot in.

>That fucking roll

Cheeky motherfucker wanted a show? FINE.

You'll give him one.

You go to the cliff edge where 15 of those tiny cores are coming up even now.

Activating your sword you slice off a large rocky outcropping, and send it plummeting to them.

You the follow that up with the sort of insane move you would never even consider if this wasn't essentially a video-game.

You drop after it, and hit it with a missile swarm, and begin cackling like a mad-man as you drop into it.

>Meanwhile.

"I refuse to believe he's doing this. WHAT THE FUCK!?! He just ripped off a chunk of the cliff, turned it into fucking shrapnel, and is now using a deadly cloud of falling rock to screen his drop so they can't shoot him? AND NOW HE'S HIDING -IN- THE FUCKING THING?!"

You barely hear Dave as you watch your brother drop. When you see the others come over the top and try to drop on him, you under-stand. He's shielding against opponents above and below him. Out of the corner of your eye, you see Josh's jaw drop slightly as he gets it too.

You can only wonder hat your brother is thinking.

>And so....

YOU ARE ALEX RASTON. And this was a fucking terrible idea. Unless your timing is JUST RIGHT, you're digging your own grave when you hit the ground.

The only one above AC Guy's rolls is the third roll of the first set. Very nice job.

>>18749263

If you think about how the battle's been going in real time, it about matches up the FUCK YEAH to the firing of the missiles onto the falling rocks.

Our averages are 41, 41, and 31. We're doing alright here. I think we noticed that shit.

>>18749286
It worked the last time. Maybe the dice resent me trying to namefag.

>>18749294
Was going off us passing the test to not waste ourselves on the way down.

And yeah, a little late.

I'm wondering how much XP we are going to get for this...

>>18749338
And, i forgot my face.

>>18749338
Hey at least people are watching this.

>>18749338

Are you kidding? This is our limit break, the kid gloves are officially OFF now.

>>18749343
>Only a tenth of what we would have gotten had this been a real fight

>>18749353

Good thing we're beating over twenty enemy AC's!

>>18749353

Imagine the XP we would have gotten if this WAS a real fight. Then divide by 10. That's still a fuck-ton. We took out SIX ACs, WITHOUT FIRING A SINGLE SHOT.

rolled 13 = 13

>>18749338
Obviously we now know what we've been doing wrong. We keep trying to use logic and common sense when we fight. So next time we just need to keep doing all of this stuff that is absolutely balls to the walls insane. Its just crazy enough to work.

>>18749366
Highest goddamn risk, highest goddamn reward

Roll a million times and fate point the best one

>>18749366

Except when we try that, the dice will rape us. Forever.

>>18749366
that's just crazy enough to work

With a smile you note that you tagged three more in the fall.

Then again, they seem a lot more fragile than the average core. It seems as though your guest commentator agrees.

"Damn and blast, well I'm glad I ran the sims on the current specs before actually sending them after you. This would just be embarrassing if it were happening in the real world. Oh well, I've made adjustments to the survivors, so they should be MUCH more durable, and without being much harder to produce."

"Just so we're clear? When I find out who you are, I'm going to shove my foot up your ass."

"Sounds kinky."

"You going to end the sim?"

"Oh, but I'm having SO MUCH FUN."

Mooch's voice cuts in. "HA! I got you you fucker, Hey Alex, I got him locked out give me a second and I can get you out of th-"

"How rude of him. Now that his console has caught fire, he won't be able to interrupt us and our little chat. Listen Alex, I know something you'd like to know."

"I know something a lot better."

"And that is?"

"You didn't bounce Mooch before he broke the time-lock."

And that's when the sim turned off, and you calmly got out of the machine.

>Mooch actually PASSED that fucking limit I set for him to hack you out.
>I am shocked.

>>18749393
...

...

...

>implying we wanted out

>>18749393
>Mooch actually PASSED that fucking limit I set for him to hack you out.

Secret rolls? I must know more.

>>18749393

>Take out an amazing number of mechs solo

>" that's when the sim turned off, and you calmly got out of the machine."

LIKE A BOSS

>>18749393
The voice knew who had Hope taken out, didn't he/it?

>>18749403

>Oh you wanted out.

>Those guys? he's designing them. To kill YOU. the longer you were in the sim, the more effective they would be when you fought them in the real world.

>>18749421
he knew our father man

he KILLED our father

FUCKING DARTH VADER

>>18749421
Who gives a fuck, we'll beat it out of him eventually.

>>18749429
>implying we are half this crazy in the world

His minions are gonna have some fucked up tactics.

>>18749429
>>18749447
Yeah his info is gonna be mad off when we just let Dave punch them all to death

>>18749447
For the best, really.

>>18749393
Time to check for security cameras in our room and feel super awkward when we realize SUPAHAKKA might have seen us have sex like the voyeur he probably is.

Now tell us, AC-Guy! Just how fucked did we leave Dave's High Score?

>>18749393
IMPRESSED!?

Bitch..

Please..

Guys, just imagine what would have happened if we'd gone to talk to Elsie.

SHE WOULD HAVE TURNED INTO LITTLE TINY AC'S MEANT JUST TO KILL US

>>18749465

>You were one kill shy of getting a tie when that guy stepped in and fucked it up.

>Had you continued the sim as planned, you probably would have beaten it, but all bets were off when he fucked over the entire system.

>>18749508

>If you rolled a nat one on event dice?

>No. Something ELSE would have happened. Something you couldn't solve by shooting it.

>>18749515
So.... We still technically beat it right?

>>18749542
Remember to pick up a box of Fate Point brand condoms.

>>18749545

>If you want to split hairs, then no.

>You didn't actually finish the sim.

>>18749571
Fuck.

>>18749589
The important thing here is that everyone know we would have beaten it if not for maximum bullshit, and that's what's important.

It's like a Racing movie where the main character only places second because he had to stop to save kids from a burning orphanage.

>>18749542
You'd be surprised what we could take care of with proper application of boolits.

So is that a wrap for this thread for now or is there more?

>>18749662

>Oh I'm going for hours yet. I just need a minute to get notes in order.

>>18749674
In that case, time for more delicious beverage.

>>18749571
Well shit, at least Dave will be relieved.

>>18749674
I love you, AC-Guy.

>>18749674
...I need to be up in five hours. Fffuuu

rolled 2 = 2

>>18749674
Oh yesss

Hey AC Person. Wake your ass back up, slut.

You look around at your team. Dave is working out that what you did was awesome, but not beating his high score. He's also trying to talk Mooch into prepping another sim so he can set a higher bar.

Mooch is clearly torn between anger that his system was cracked and vindictive glee at out-hacking whoever was on the other end.

Ari is standing there watching a recording of the fight. Josh is standing next to her, looking slightly shocked.

As you climb out of the sims, He looks at you. "That's how you fly with a gimped synch score hopped up on pain-killers the day after having your ribs welded back together? Shit, now I HAVE to see you on top of your game."

"I fly that way in a sim, when I don't have anything to lose."

"Gives you a chance to try out the crazy shit in a controlled environment. Smart. Good to see you're alive brother, according to Dave it was touch and go for a bit there."

[ ] Go over combat data with Ari.
[ ] Converse with Josh.
[ ] Talk to Mooch about the hacker.
[ ] Go find Elsie.

>>18749867
oh how the gods of /tg/ have been so cruel to our poor AC Quest, always robing us of AC-Guy for long periods of time, for woe are we who must wait on every masterfully done stroke of his fingers across the keyboard

>>18749867

>Well, if you're going to rude maybe I won't run AC quest anymore.

>>18749878
hacker talk

>[x] Go over combat data with Ari.
We're her instructor, and we need to take that duty seriously.

>>18749878
[X] Go over combat data with Ari.

Complete poker face as if death defying stunts and taking 5 ACs on without expending a bullet is par for the course.

Then tell her to never pilot like that in real life unless you absolutely have to because there were half a dozen times when we should have died.

>>18749878
converse with josh

>>18749878
[ ] Converse with Josh.

>>18749884
No, I'm just tired as hell and want to read more before I sleep.

Which really isn't an excuse, but fuck you.

>>18749878
Combat Data is always good idea.

Mooch probably works best without us drooling over his shoulder, so talking to him about this incident would be like stating obvious things.

Teaching Moment! [X] Go over combat data with Ari.

>>18749878
Converse with Josh. Also, ask if theyt got any of the audio from our conversation with the hacker.

> Hacker talk

THIS PERSON
I MUST KNOW HIM
I MUST KNOW HIM LIKE HE KNOWS HIMSELF.

Guys, Mooch didn't hear what the hacker was telling us. I think we need to put some emphasis on that.

>>18749878
[X] Converse with Josh

We haven't seen him in a while.

>>18749878
Talk with Josh. About the ninja and our upcoming job.

>Looks like Ari wins.

>>18749919
What, the "IM COLLECTING COMBAT DATA LOLOLOL"?

That's just more reason why we should go over the combat data ourselves first to see what the guy knows first to try and predict what he will send after us.

>>18749947
>>18749944

>So OF COURSE you put two fucking votes down right when I.....

>>18749959
Sorry man, I was on a train, had to get home before I could vote.

>>18749959
Sorry guy! Can't help my timing.

>>18749959
Why not both? Introduce Ari to Josh, I don't think they've met.

Wait, this is getting kinda scary.
We're getting custom-made ACs MADE to mass-kill us.
Our job is to stop an experiment gone loose.
Think about it.

>But why would Richard Branson want us dead?

well

>>18749959
[x] "Breakfast in bed" with Mooch, followed by discussing combat data with Elsie.

I mean what

>>18749982

>Write new option instead.
>What dialog trees?

You walk over to the screen there they were watching the combat data.

"Ari, I going to want to go over this with you, point out what you should and shouldn't do."

"Alright. i was just talking to Mr O'Brien-"

"Please, call me Josh."

"Alright. Anyway, he says he's a friend of yours?"

You turn around "You've never been formally introduced? Well then. Josh, this is my sister Ari." When you mention her relation to her he slides a half a step away and acts like he wasn't considering sneaking a peak, since she stands about a foot shorter than him.

Too bad you're on to him now. "So Josh, see anything you like?" you wait for him to try and figure out the best way to protest, then quick an eyebrow and gesture at the screen.

Ari looks at you, clearly not realizing the implications of what just happened. After a good ten minutes of reviewing the data, you get hungry.

[ ] Go make lunch in the kitchen.
[ ] Go grab lunch with Elsie.
[ ] Go get Lunch with your Mother.
[ ] Take Elsie and your mother to lunch.
[ ] Make Ari run to the diner and back, carrying lunch for everybody. Good exercise.

>>18750102
Go grab lunch with elsie

>>18750102

>SOOO MANY TYPOS WHAT THE HELL.

>SHAMFUR DISPRAY!

>I MUS NOW CORRIT SUDOKU!

>>18750102
>[x] Make Ari run to the diner and back.

RUN HER INTO THE GROUND! Maybe we can become Flit Asuno if we do it hard enough.

>>18750102
I love how everyone is aware of the man code in this quest. Go grab lunch in the kitchen, with all thats been going on you've not had much time to your self.

>[x] Make Ari run to the diner and back, carrying lunch for everybody. Good exercise.
Hazing time.
Do we by chance have a copy of "Mao's Pocketbook: How To Abuse A Training Recruit"?

>>18750102
[ ] Make Ari run to the diner and back, carrying lunch for everybody. Good exercise. mean while we should talk about the fuck just happened

>>18750102
[X] Take Elsie and your mother to lunch.

We deserve it, should spend some more time with Elsie and give those two a chance to talk.

Ari doesn't get lunch until she reviews our footage multiple times and understands the purpose behind all the decisions we made and has a good comprehension of why you should avoid ever piloting an AC like that.

>>18750102
[x] Take Elsie and your mother to lunch.

>>18750125

Yeah... *we* got bushwhacked when we went off by ourselves, why not send our baby sister off alone to get lunch?

[x] Go make lunch in the kitchen.

>>18750126

>Why wouldn't they be aware of it?

>This is something all guys are aware of. It comes as natural to us as breathing.

>>18750152
And it had damn well better, because sometimes the only way to keep breathing is through man code.

>>18750126
It's a good code to be aware of when most of your friends pilot giant robots and you have to trust them with your life.

>>18750152
I didnt know there was a man code until this quest thread....


Guess it figures...
......

>>18750102
[x] Take Elsie and Mom out to lunch.

] Take Elsie and your mother to lunch

>>18750152
The man code also includes STOP CHECKING OUT MY SISTER OR I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU.
I feel that way about some of my coworkers. I work in a bank with some quite endowed women, and it rustles me when they stare so obviously.
At least exercise some propriety, you lechers. THEY ARE MINE TO STARE AT.

>Looks like lunch with your mom and Elsie wins.

>>18750102
Go grab lunch in the kitchen.

>>18750226
>>18750232
Man, why am I suddenly posting always just too late all of a sudden?

You see that yur Mother has come over to see how your sister's doing. You instead grab her and Elsie and go to get lunch.

"And why exactly couldn't I say Hi?"

"Because right now she's in training. You might distract her from it, and besides, having your mother show up in the middle of boot camp to check on you is just... terribly silly. I mean, I'm already going really easy on her just because we don't have thee resources to do it right."

She sighs. "I guess you're right. I always knew you two would have to grow up eventually."

You find a nice little restaurant not far from the hangar, and go inside.

Apparently they specialize in Chinese food, something you haven't had in a while.

Looking at the menu you wonder if he fact that they serve neither Iced Tea or coffee had something to do with that.

As you think about what to get...

[ ] Listen to the women talk, see what they have to say.
[ ] Talk to your mother about how Ari's doing.
[ ] Talk to Elsie about the training sims.
[ ] Realize you never told your mother about you and Elsie actually being a couple.

>>18750363
Listen to the women, chances are our mom already know even without us telling her.

>>18750363
Listen to the them talk.

>>18750363
>[x] Realize you never told your mother about you and Elsie actually being a couple.

and then go on to remedy it

>>18750363
[ ] Listen to the women talk, see what they have to say.
[ ] Realize you never told your mother about you and Elsie actually being a couple.
Can we do BOTH of these, actually?
They sorta tie into each other, as Elsie will no doubt let it slip.

>[x] Realize you never told your mother about you and Elsie actually being a couple.
Time to make this formal.

>>18750363
Tell mom we're a couple now. I'm sure it will come as no surprise to her.

ALSO ASK ABOUT THE FUCKING MEMORY STONE JESUS CHRIST WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.

>>18750396

>NOOOOO MY SCHEMES!

>>18750363
Mom has already worked out that we're a couple, we spend half our time holding hands and the rest kissing.

Let the women talk. Give them an opportunity to get to know each other better.

>>18750363
[ ] Realize you never told your mother about you and Elsie actually being a couple.

>Who the FUCK is knocking on my door at 12:15?

>>18750429

AC-Guy was a true patriot.

>Hey, uh guys?

>I apparently have something I need to deal with personally.

>I hate to do this, but I think I might have to call in a thread.

>>18750538
Damn, deal with whatever you need to deal with. We understand that despite how much we wish otherwise you have a life outside of AC quest. Something that knocks on your door at midnight trumps it.

>>18750538
Babby at doorstep?

Still, don't worry, Real Life comes first, hope things work out for you.

>>18750538
no problem see next time

>>18750538
Real life take priority, thanks for the thread.

Fucking astronomy tests getting in the way of my AC quest. And, you know, the need for a bit of sleep before them.

Oh, and remember to sanitize stab wounds from doorbandits prior to dressing them.

>>18750585
Oh. Cool.

>>18750588

>>18750610
Based on the mammoth tusk found earlier, Ima guess its a cave man.

>>18750767
Maybe the mammoth is pissed about losing its tusk?
