Okay. I'll lukre.

Feel free to think something up, even if it's crazy. Just accept some critique, get better informed, and you might have a good plan.
Might have a while to lurk though, but the thread'll pick up soon enough

EDE, you bastard I have some questions.

Okay, I've mulled it over and have some questions:

Do the Mobile Bases and Mobile Fortress have their own food production and water supplies/recycling systems?

What sort of combat ability do the Mobile Bases and Fortress have? Research facilities? Manufacturing facilities?

What Aduro Ind. research have we acquired from getting into contact with all of the remnants, and from the Mobile Fortress HQ? I'm guessing very little because 'the research facilities were mostly looted (filthy Umbra). Do we have the facilities to reproduce the tech required to take advantage of this research?

You know that if you control the Memor you have to make them behave sufficiently Chaotic Evil right? Or make something up about how the Many became One (that is, /tg/ became just you).

What's covered under "A cheap shot action per turn"?
What's covered under a "Water Action"?
We get one Research action (can mimic Mad SCIENCE without the usual penalty/danger) and one MAD SCIENCE action per turn, right?
What's covered under "free scavenge action"?
What's covered under "free scouting action"?

We get 3 or 4 basic actions per turn now, right?

Can we get an updated Weapons list?

What size and power output are our infinite-energy batteries? Man-portable? Do they render, say, our nuclear reactor obsolete? And do we have the ability to manufacture them?

Do we have the ability to manufacture our let's call them Phase Shields? (the stealth shields)

Back to the 'batteries'. Can we expect just a general increase in how good our shields are, because they now have such a god-tier powersource, or will we need to do a turn or two of research to integrate them into the shields?

Do the Mobile Bases+Fortress have shields and/or lasers integrated into them?

Gentlemen of the board, in light of the fact that that we are currently surrounded by a large airforce, I would like to propose an AA project.

Now, we can always improve our shields but that would only delay the inevitable at best. Lasers, though effective and precise, can only target one target per shot.

As such, I would like to propose the construction of a Tesla Tower on our rooftop. We have the chance to both fry their electricals and shields, ignite their fuel, and like a fly zapper burn to ashes anyone who dares bail out, all in a continuous charge that does not need to be directed or aimed. In addition, the atmosphere perpetually falls with ash, and there is a potential avalanche of static electricity in the air waiting to be set off. Our tower would be perfectly safe as not only would it be shielded but we are electrically grounded.

Of course, this is pending estimates of the given research time, construction time, power supply, and any other logistics that should be taken into account.

Mobile facilities can sustain themselves.

Nomad Bases have a number of salvaged armaments. Fortress is equipped with shields and laser weaponry mostly. Nomad bases do not have much in the terms of Research or Manufacturing, Fortress does however.

Most research has been lost with the specialized research facilities. There is some yet but it would be hard to access. Only in dealing with shields or barrier tech unless its general/basic.

Cheap shot action is basically something like sabotage, ambush, or assassination and the like.

Water action deals with odd actions involving water. Such as finding wells or being in the ocean ect.

Only if you choose have those both be your bonus actions.

Scavenging action is just that scavenging.
Scouting action is check out our scouted area or exploring the unknown.

3 actions per a turn
2 bonus actions that you can choose from among what the heroes can offer you.

Weapons are largely the same.

infinite energy is incorrect it produces a stable set amount of energy. You pull more then that amount it shuts down otherwise it just keeps going and going. Man-Portable to a degree.

Nuclear reactors are indeed obslete to a degree. You can indeed manufacture them. Just beware their output is limited if you try to draw more then that it will shutdown. Luckily they can be kick-started.

Hey, other fluff guy. Here's my updated fluff.
I've never read or watched Ghost In The Shell, believe it or not...though I think maybe I might come off as being obsessed over it? I don't know, I've never seen it.

I see Vault 101's hivemind as just being a result of being able to communicate with everyone else on a fundamental level. I see the Personality-Ghosts as something like the Geth from Mass-Effect. Machine-intelligences that involved on their own, except this time no one hated them so they cooperate and help their hosts, and their hosts enjoy the company.

Anyway, anyone who reads it feel free to mention anything they feel needs revision. It's a first draft on everything.

A very scary thought. Okay, maybe stealth shields instead of phase shields.

>>27795203

A Tesla Tower isn't really the stealthy type of weapon.

Isn't that risky to use such a lighting thing ?

We could have created a commission to find out the best suited weapon to our situation if only we has the time.

However, we can't wait that long. You have my full support.

>>27795253
We can't take the risk of destroying all our personalty. We must find out if this will just be a perfect link or if it will made us cells of one spirit.

Could we spare some citizen as guinea pig ?

>>27795411
>A Tesla Tower isn't really the stealthy type of weapon.
True, but I'd imagine it'd blend in to the natural lightning storms and would fit in the background more than lasers, which effectively give away our position anyway.

Besides, the tower would also be covered by the stealth shields when not in use and we are already a pretty tall tower as is.

>>27795411
>We can't take the risk of destroying all our personalty. We must find out if this will just be a perfect link or if it will made us cells of one spirit.
>Could we spare some citizen as guinea pig ?
Are you speaking of MI? We're far away from pursuing that project. The machine/tech for it isn't even in our base.

But the upshot of MI is that individuality is completely untouched. It's about as Many as you can get with a hivemind.

>>27795426

That's a good point.
Moreover, we can be sure that if we had to use it, it means that we're already found.

However, we should research EMP weapon, next. That seems more efficient to me, if our enemy is technologically advanced.

>>27795411
>Isn't that risky to use such a lighting thing ?
From a mechanical standpoint no. As we are a grounded tower it's perfectly safe, even if we are strike (which we won't be thanks to shields, and other physics related reasons) it'll harmless channel into the ground. It's in theory completely safe (for anyone in the tower). Though I'd imagine our Mobile Forts better ground themselves too or stay away.

However, aircraft are pretty much in deep shit.

Though there are possibly other socio-political risks not being taken into acount.

I think they're "Mini-AIs". We could always get around the problem altogether by getting an A.I. then devoting it exclusively to communicating with Power-Armor processors.

But really, getting power armor alone is a big enough boon. We'd probably do better to just improve it using research than to try and get an AI, then try and integrate it.

>>27795819

There is risk in any research.
If it didn't worked, it don't mean it's impossible.

We need a proper research about the AI tech and the way to make it safe. We could also make non self aware program which could do the work as well.

With such a system, we could put more people working for science sake, since they would no longer be needed in the battle field.

This line of conversation is okay, but let's not get distracted by hungry visions of grandeur.

Let's also consider the immediate ramificications
1. How to go about assisting or interacting with our corporate brothers afar
2. Isabella will surely return, what then?
3. The dessert, Urgsha is but one figure we have met, presuming we do repair our personal infastructure, and we do hold out the ravagers (and that's saying a lot) how do we do it and what then?

So we just have to think about how make it more effective.

What about psychological war ? I like to see my enemy mentally destroyed before any gunshot is fired.

>>27795930
Well, if we ever go about finding even low level energy beings.
I'm sure the Saal would have a thing or two to say about that.

But we aren't a psionic race.

>>27795880
now for something down our allyway. i noticed something. we were focused on shielding, that is energy and force projection. we COULD develop a enhanced version of a man portable energy and force projector that works much like say, a green lantern's power ring?

>>27795924

We did have an Uber-Hero and a Mad Scientist both of whom specialize in Energy-Based Science and a 98 or a 91 devoted to it bro...

>>27795960
Good rolls and good heroes don't good plans make, just being on the safe side.

>>27795957
Well, before we get to ambitious, turning our cage shields into crush shields seems immediately feasible. Reverse the polarity of one side and opposites attract. Bandit/Ravager pancakes anyone?

>>27795956
We don't need to be psionic.
This could work through energy, hormones, sounds.

However, there could be a problem with the mental weapon : each race could be diferent and a mental weapon could work on one of them and no on the others ...

Well, maybe it's not the best.

I have an idea for her.

You guys ever hear the story of how Zeus and Mercury dressed up as peasants to see the kindness of the people?

When Isabella arrives, it should be business as usuall. No, we should act desperate, like we are in great need of resources (the machine exploded, we need some badly but can't offer).

Depending on how she responds, we'll know where her loyalties lie, and make a decision thusly. That said, even with all our new toys and resoures, it's still far from garaunteed she'd want to join us or associate with us.

A party seems. . .unfitting. How about we provide commendations, promotions, and a raise in paycheck to those working directly under No-Mad. We'll also offer extra vacation days to those willing to work for him.

As for shadow exton time...


You are Shadow Exton of the Umaro Exterimator devision of the Umbra Corp. You got word of a nasty zombie hive out in the middle of nowhere land. Volcanic desert to boot. Your mission is simple to break into the infested facility and destroy it. So that way mop operations of the surviving zombies may begin.

In this regard you are one of the best of best. As you started of as one of the Shadow squads assigned to Clean-Up Division DEZ. There many of your squads fell. Of the ashes arose your team. Shadow Squad ExD for such a far out mission and horrible terrain they couldn't send the usual so they sent you. Support was nil this was a one way trip. Pick up was to occur at a nearby ally base.

Now your team is on their way in a Black Valco. When you landed it was blazingly hot and the place war crawling with zombies. You activate the repels and quickly head towards towards the specified location. You make it to the very facility itself...heavily overgrown clearly infested with for who knows how long. Worst yet you spot Overs and mutant strains. That was when your team entered. There you divided up. To several key locations.

1 Overwatch.
2 Labs
3 Servers
4 The Cloners
5 Elimination of Key Targets.

This seemed to go well when the chatter picked up and suddenly your teams found themselves under attack. You didn't worry your guys are the best of the best. You even saw Stalkers approaching from your Overwatch position. Well shit one of few that got brain cells. Good thing that one is decoy...then you felt your blood run cold as you saw what dropped down in front of you.

Alright, let's consider our situation gentlemen.
We have shields that are holding out the barbarians, for now.
We have a Tesla Coil, that should the shields fail. We are also working on point laser defenses, hopefully if that comes to fruit we can intercept the long range artillery
We have 4 stealthed mobile forts at our disposal, but I'm always cautious of attacknig without scouting. A pity our scouts are down and out, plus it's chaos out there.
Then there's the tunnels. When you can't break into somewhere, you tunnel into it. It's a classic military tactic, unless worse we are being attacked by someone else completely down there.

Suggestions?

>>27797178
>>27797351

Contact the Urgsha, promise them an excess of water, a lot of food, and a good amount of laser-tanks/other tech for their assistance RIGHT NOW. Have the Paladin coordinate with their commander.

I'm going to acquire some more information before I try to make an attack plan.

What sort of numbers does the Ashen Fleet have? Do they have the weapons to take down, say, our Mobile Fortress and a Mobile Base that have 3000 paladins in them helping?

What are the numbers/armaments of the Ashen Fleet in general? And how deadly are the Ravager planes with them?

We can't assume that there aren't shitloads more forces out there, somehow a goddamn fleet and a Mobile Base snuck up on us...AND we're under attack from underground somehow/for some reason/from someone.

We HAVE to go out on the offensive away from all the defenses of our base though, because we're under viral/radiation/chemical bombardment that will crack through our shields or leave our surrounding area uninhabitable if we don't address it.

Perhaps we can appeal to the Demons too. Certainly they wouldn't appreciate someone poising the nearby fishing holes.

>>27797477

We have ONE stealthed MOBILE BASE.

NONE of our bases or our fort are very good at fighting, they're cobbled together and designed for use as a Corporate HQ respectively.

The tunnels were already extant, although the "new tunnels" our scouts found might've been being made for this assault.

Looks like we'll probably have to burn that Fate Point. I'd much rather do that than have to sacrifice a hero. Though I think if it'd been used to get us god-awesome laser-tanks like it would've caused if we'd been seen we wouldn't be in this position. (was that really on accident?)

Rolled 68

>>27797772
Unknown possibly a turn maybe. Or less if the Ravagers have something up their sleeve.

The Arch paladin states it looks like they are keeping us pinned down for some reason.

>>27797800
It was I didn't notice during my writefaggotry and the update. Plus those tanks would of been most limited in this scenario.

>>27797751

And MAKE SURE you use the Uber-Paladin and his forces against the Ravagers. They'll all get such fuck-huge bonuses against them for the goodness and evil respectively.

>>27797813

Sounds like we should burn a fate point and attack the ravagers and/or mobile base with our fort NOW before their tunneling (probably laying explosives down there) pays off.

How undetectable is our Stealth Mobile Base?

>>27797875
Will the fatepoint cover the underground though?

There might be worse things down there that we are ill equipt to handle, at least up here we have the promise of a Tesla Coil (though if history shows, our personal projects usually suck ass).

Rolled 38

>>27797875
Rather undetectable. Problem is IT sorta big...

>>27797902
Unlikely. Fate points will only counter a threat that you can identify.

We're in a pickle.
We are under attack from artillery beyond our line of sight (and we're on a megatower too) in addition to a mobile fortress in a location we cannot scout (due to loss of scouts).

As much as it pains me, I'd rather use the fatepoint on this one.

>>27798010
We have one turn left, on our shields, let's use it wisely first and then when all hope is lost, we bank on it.

"there is always the third option".

Let me try to think of a plan.

Aah, that's what you meant by "those tanks would've been of limited use in this fight". They're immune to energy weapons for some reason of another. Well the Ravagers have pinned their target well.

I wish you hadn't sent that goddamn Mobile Base out ALONE. I told you it wasn't combat specialized, but you still sent it out ALONE for an attack. It was meant to be a goddamn trump card. You always keep a reserve.

Okay. Activate that fate point. (also I'd like to ask 'fate' if we're going to need to burn a hero?)

Deploy the Paladins+their Leader against the Reavers at the top of our tower and where-ever they break through. They shall be a spear of shining light burning the darkness and filth out.

Send the Mobile Fortress+Mobile Bases out against the Ghoulish Base in a cordon. Fucking dirty warfare fuckers, they're going to regret fucking with Adero Corp. The Mobile Bases have standard weapons (I presume), so have them focus their fire on the Ravagers+Ashen Fleet. Dispatch Mr. Light with the fortress, maybe he can pull some Dr. Manhattan shit and float up and blind the Ravagers with a flash of light too.

Have Aquam accompany the Mobile Fortress and raise the lava-lake (If he's capable of it) up so that it burns all of the fuckers on the ground that they pass over. Once he feels he's close enough to have a reasonable chance of succeeding have him pull lava up around the legs of the ghoulish base...then douse it in water so it can't run or maneuver.

Have No-Mad channel all of the employees under him, his, and MY into getting our shields back up and overcharging our lasers to FUCK EVERYTHING.

Waiting for confirmation/advice from other anons. Also, ask Aquam if he thinks he could do that/is willing to for us?

We're NOT blowing up the tunnels while the Paladins are down there (also, I was under the impression that 100 paladins and 200 mutants were sent down there, as "no one sent down there returned").

In any case though you are trudging out the door and on top of the tower which was when the ash bloods got a good look at you...and promptly starting scrambling away so hard some of actually fell of the tower they were so desperate to get away. Yup. That is what you get for being the only sane one this crazy as world. So you jacked into a hardline and sent a message.

"RUN FOR LIVEZ ITS NO-MAD OH SWEET MOTHER'S TITTIES RUN RUUNNN."

The zeppelins began to desperately turn so hard and bandits were so desperate to escape that some were actually falling off plunging to their death. Meanwhile holes were poping in their air sacs and others were bumping into each other. Some zeppelins exploded while others were lit on fire and crashed down to the surface far below.

From out of nowhere a hail storm of missiles, laser, and railgun blasts began to erupt out of nowhere towards the Ravager craft and even the Ghoulish Mobile base which was forced to retreat the force of it was so strong. The return fire blasted away stealth fields...revealing an Urgosh warband.

The fighting was fierce down around the ground wrecks of zeppelins and Ravager craft crashed and fought the onslaught of the monsters wanting to partake in the flesh...while they were distracted THAT was when the Urgash teams hit. They crumbled not even Ravagers could deal with the assault so they withdrew...much more cleanly then the Ash Bloods who seemed obsessed with destroying each other so as to leave a distraction behind while they made a getaway.

The battle raged for a seemingly long time the havoc was so much as the Urgosh gradually grind the enemy into paste that they would later use for their pancake batter. After that they loaded up and left...taking with them wrecks, corpses, and more.
