>>27075610
A. Only way to be sure. We can't leave this place until all our tech is destroyed.

>>27075610
B. Set the prototype cannon to fire at its own reactor.

Boom

>>27075793
>>A. Quietly destroy the reactor with your combi-stick.

You extend your combi-stick and carefully whittle the reactor to pieces. As a final guarantee of its destruction, you fire a tight burst of needles into its shielded core, releasing a trickle of corrosive coolant which washes over the sensitive electronics and dissolves them into paste.

Suddenly, you hear footsteps approaching from the corridor outside. You quickly raise your head and peer through the glass. You see two synthetics approaching you. You recognize them as two of the four synthetics you tampered with.

Do you:

A. Keep your head down and hope they pass.
B. Pre-emptively strike out and take them down silently. (DC: Medium)

>>27076032
A. Keep your head down and hope they pass.

>>27076136
>>A. Keep your head down and hope they pass.

You lower your profile and order your teammates to hug the ground. You wait patiently until the they patrol passes.

They walk by your chamber, and pause for a moment. One of them knocks on the door. "Doctor, you are needed in the testing chamber."

They try a second time.

"Doctor, your presence is required in the testing chamber."

"Doctor, the experiment begins in ten minutes." Receiving no reply, the synthetics turn and head back out.

You wait until their footsteps pass.

Do you:

A. Take some time to search the room for anything useful.
B. Head to the chamber containing the scaled down ship mounted plasma cannon.
C. Head to the chamber containing the prototype smartgun.

>>27076323

>>27076323
>A. Take some time to search the room for anything useful.
Well, in 10 minutes they'll realize something is wrong and things will stop happening.

He might have some notes here that we'll need to destroy. Perhaps a key-card.

>>27076431

>>27076323
OP, for B, don't you mean: "Head to the chamber containing the prototype plasma casters."? I thought last thread we entered the room with the plasma cannon.

>>27076479
>OP, for B, don't you mean: "Head to the chamber containing the prototype plasma casters."? I thought last thread we entered the room with the plasma cannon.

Ah, right, my mistake. Good catch.

Choices should be

A. Take some time to search the room for anything useful.
B. Head to the chamber containing the prototype plasma casters.
C. Head to the chamber containing the prototype smartgun.

>>27076574
>>27076323
A.

>>27076431
>>27076384
>>A. Take some time to search the room for anything useful.

You gesture your teammates to search the room for something useful.

After several minutes of scanning through the various pieces of furniture and personal computers, you find a small access card on the scientist's unconscious body and a set of data slates containing a large variety of research data.

You pocket those for study later.

Do you:

A. Head to the chamber containing the prototype plasma casters.
B. Head to the chamber containing the prototype smartgun.
C. Leave the labs.

>>27076740
>A. Head to the chamber containing the prototype plasma casters.
If I remember correctly the other scientists are researching the prototype smartgun. Let's take out the casters first.

>>27076740
>A. Head to the chamber containing the prototype plasma casters.

>>27076905
>>A. Head to the chamber containing the prototype plasma casters.

You motion your team to follow you as you exit the current chamber. You suddenly hear the whirring of a hover drone. You press your body against the wall as it passes you.

Security is becoming tighter.

You quickly cross the corridor and lay low outside of the plasma caster chamber. You peer inside. The room seems to be empty.

The door is locked. The lock has a slot on it which takes a keycard.

Do you:

A. Use the keycard you found on the scientist to open the door.
B. Cut through the lock with a plasma torch.

>>27077042
>A. Use the keycard you found on the scientist to open the door.

>>27077042
A. Let's hope he has access.

>>27077042

>>27077057

A. Use the keycard you found on the scientist to open the door.

You slide the the card through the slot. The lock turns green, beeps twice, and disengages. A feminine voice announces, "Doctor Wilson Grey. Access granted."

The door slides open. Moments after you enter, the ceiling opens and a camera descends. A voice booms over the intercom. "Doctor Grey? What are you doing here? You're needed in the testing chambers."

Do you:

A. Attempt to synthesize a human audio recording, telling him you'll be there shortly.
B. Stay silent, and out of sight of the camera.
C. Take out the camera with needler strike.

>>27077248

You activate the advanced mimicry algorithm in your vision mask and respond, in a deep, human speech. "Yes, yes, I'll be there shortly."

Whoever is on the other end of the intercom seems unconvinced.

"Are you alright, Doctor? You sound... different. Where are you? I can't seem to see you."

Do you:

A. Take out the camera, quickly, and tell him there seems to be a malfunction. (DC: Medium-hard)
B. Use your holo-emitter to display a hologram of the scientist. (DC: Medium)

>>27077462
>B. Use your holo-emitter to display a hologram of the scientist. (DC: Medium)

>>27077680
>>B. Use your holo-emitter to display a hologram of the scientist. (Pass, vs. DC 11)

You reconstruct a 3d hologram of the doctor and show him entering the room. He waves at the camera.

"Good. Let me remind you, doctor, that this experiment is of paramount importance, so finish whatever it is you're doing now, and join us."

With that, the camera once again rises into the ceiling. You disengage the hologram, relieved.

You glance around. Several personal plasma-casters are mounted on a series of test racks around the room. You begin to examine them. Most are extremely crude replicas in various states of functionality - but one of them is clearly of Yautja design.

Do you:

A. Systematically destroy every single one of the casters.
B. Destroy only the Yautja original.
C. Take the Yautja original with you and destroy the rest.
D. Take the Yautja original with you and leave the chamber.

>> C.

You stash the original into your belt pouch, and proceed to have your team destroy the rest. The human replicas are extremely fragile, and you're able to snap most of them clean in half without much effort.

Burning-Scythe begins to torch the rubble with plasma.

Satisfied with the destruction, you leave the chamber. You hear a sudden burst of gunfire coming from the smart-gun chamber.

They must be testing.

A. Head for the chamber containing the prototype smartgun.
B. Recon the chamber with a drone mine.

I'll probably vote A, but would like to know how much time is left.

>>27078030
B.
Can't waste time for small stuff. We still need to raid the Bio-Labs.

>>27078054
Also, this. If we can use comms without getting compromised, a status report from the other team would be nice.

>>27078054
>>27078092
Steel-Arrow tells you they still need about 15 more minutes.

>>27078092
>We still need to raid the Bio-Labs.
Completely forgot about that. The scientist from the last thread had notes that stated they were working on biological cloaking, so that is where it is likely to be. We should focus on getting there.

A tiny gun is unimportant compared to our cloaking.

You carefully follow the technicians and their cargo towards the bio labs. The entrances are guarded by three synthetic guards and a checkpoint. These guards seem to be quite sharp and attentive. They stop the technicians, and give their sealed cargo a thorough scan.

They then wave their hands, and signal the technicians to pass.

Do you:

A. Attempt to sneak past the synthetic guards while cloaked. (DC: Medium-Hard)

Crap.

>>27078669
We have a lot of firepower, luckily. I think the ablative vests we got will protect us from injury and the double plasma casters will certainly help us.

Let's keep Steel-Arrow and Seeking-Eye at the data cache. With Burning-Scythe, Sharp-Strike, and ourselves we have six plasma casters.

Quick-Shadow and Ashen-Blade must be very bored.

>>27078643
>>A. Attempt to sneak past the synthetic guards while cloaked. (Fail, vs. DC 13)

You signal your team to follow close. You carefully approach the guards under cloak. Suddenly, you hear a second set of footsteps approaching from the rear. You turn, and see two synthetics sprinting over.

The newcomers stop before the checkpoint. "Be on alert. We have a scientist missing. Possible defector."

The checkpoint guards acknowledge, shoulder their rifles, and begin to scan meticulously around them. Suddenly, one of them seems to notice something near you. He points his rifle towards you and begins to approach.

You wait until the two At the last second, you quickly rush upwards, grip its neck tight with your left hand, and jam a shock knife straight into its abdomen. You twist the handle and incinerate the android from the inside with lethal electricity.

On your queue, Sharp-Strike extends his combi-stick and dives forward, bisecting a second synthetic clean in two.

Burning-Scythe leaps into the air and slams his claw into the third and last synthetic's neck.

The entire battle took mere seconds.

Burning-Scythe turns to you. "We don't have much time before they raise the alarm."

You acknowledge, and look down the corridor leading to the bio-labs.

Do you:

A. Assault the labs in force, with heavy weapons.
B. Resume your cloak, go in quiet, and avoid fights when you can.

>>27079108
B. Time for tacticool stealth. They still think it's a defector, right?

If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

Also, we may want to alert the rest of the team that Wey-Yu might be on to us soon.

You take some time to drag the synthetic corpses out of sight and gesture your team to cloak up.

You head towards the bio-labs. Half way there, you hear a voice from Steel-Arrow, currently guarding the data archives. "Three-Claw. Increased guard activity. Several synthetics are moving in your direction now. Be on guard."

You acknowledge.

You make your way to the bio labs, and notice the technicians and their cargo up ahead. You sneak by as they unload.

You hear a sharp screeching in the distance - as made by hard-meat, and the chattering of several humans.

You also hear the unmistakable humming of a Yautja cloaking generator.

You identify the direction of the hum and head towards it. You switch your visor to tech mode and scan the various rooms. You locate the generator itself, housed inside a large rotunda. The generator seems to have been ripped from a small Yautja ship.

Several scientists and technicians are huddled around it.

The room itself is under heavy guard - by no less than nine synthetic guards, armed with a variety of smartguns and pulse rifles. They seem to be on high alert. Sneaking past them does not seem likely.

You carefully set down a drone mine and guide it towards the reactor. Staying out of sight, you guide the mine up towards the ceiling, over the guards' heads, and slowly creep it towards the generator.

Several times, synthetic guards turn towards the drone, but your expert remote control skills always manage to tuck the drone out of sight at exactly the right moments.

You carefully drop the drone onto the generator.

The cloaking generator is not volatile, but the resulting explosion should vent radioactive plasma fire in all directions, and likely spreading out to nearby facilities.

A. Set the drone mine on a timer.
B. Leave the drone mine for remote detonation later.
C. Get to a safe spot and detonate it immediately.

You tuck the mine in under one of the radial heat sinks on the generator, completely out of sight. You may now detonate it at will.

Where do you go next?

A. Head towards where you heard the screeching noise.
B. Find the technicians still unloading their cargo.
C. Leave the bio-labs.

>>27079827
B. I always pick B. Plus, I really want to look at that cargo

You catch the team of technicians in the distance and quickly close in. You find a good vantage point, as they unload, and you observe.

One of the technicians peel apart the tarp covering the crate. You hear a loud "thump" from within.

A technician takes out short baton, and extends it. He shoves it into an opening on the side of the crate. The result is a loud screeching.
