Patch 1.11

General:
Veteran Powers are now available for characters level 5 and higher.
Stealth and Backstab removed, because the R&D team is tired of complaints about how an ability intended for recon isn't a good enough damage amplifier. Hunter has a new power. Dagger is removed. Shadow Cloak reworked. Another Hunter power and a new weapon will be added after more combat data is gathered.
Knight: Shieldwall from (A) to (S).
Mage: Shadowstep reworked. Now reads: Shadowstep (M, C3): Move and create a 1HP afterimage at your starting point until end of next round. You may target your actions starting from an image.
Priest: Small changes to Smite and Orbital Judgment. Oracle Protocol range increased.

One chapter in the company's story ends. Another begins.

The trip to Seraph-216 for a friendly bit of bloodsport was interrupted by Scavs, who discovered much their chagrin that ambushing a team of already armed and mid-battle Freelancers geared with an arena's superweapons is a really, really bad idea.

Now the company has returned to Echo Base, to await their next mission. Graves says he already has something lined up, but isn't saying what or when, just to be ready when it comes. He has the company doing light shooting and movement drills out on the danger range, keeping the veterans team combat-ready and drilling some level of team coordination into the fresh batch of rookies, newly arrived from the faction training camps.

Graves is company captain now, after his promotion, and has the whole outfit to worry about instead of just your outfit in Section One. He keeps track of everything that's going on with you, of course, and makes an effort to keep in touch with the soldiers he's known for a while. But managing Section Two, plus the recon unit, the research and logistics teams, and liasing with other companies and the Alliance factions? All that takes up a lot of his time now. He's still the same guy, it's just that he has a lot more to deal with.

The new commander, Graves' replacement as section command, calls herself Hellcat. When Graves introduced her to the company, she said she's a drifter from an Adventurer squad, out in Emiria's moons and the outer ring. That's all anyone knows about her, except for Graves. He's hand-picked her as his replacement, so that earns her a kind of grudging respect, at least for now.

"You fellas trust me?" Graves asks. "Then trust Hellcat. She's on the level."

How exactly those two, a knight and a drifter, know each other, nobody knows for sure. Rumors abound: Childhood friends? Ex-lovers? Was Graves once an Adventurer like her, or has she been a Freelancer before? Whatever it is, wherever she's from, she knows how to fight. The veterans can tell, by the way she holds herself.

Hellcat has been hard to read, and hasn't said much to anyone yet except Graves -- they've been standing off by themselves during the training exercises, watching. She's been around to see the support teams, but getting info out of them is difficult: the Blacksmith never says much, while the Alchemist never stops talking long enough for anyone to get a question in. Snow is long gone, off on some mysterious job or other, and you probably wouldn't get anything from her anyway other than a withering glare and a snide remark.

The one other thing everybody knows about the new CO is, on her third evening at the base, she showed up at the bar and challenged Graves to a drinking contest. She only lost by one drink, then Graves passed out too, crashing into a table on the way down, splintering it and shattering a dozen glasses. That's the first time anyone's seen the drink get on top of Graves, and the closest anyone's come to beating him by a long shot.

All good things must come to an end, it is said. Word of impending action spreads through the base. Though some bemoan the loss of their leisure time, many are itching to get back into action. "I haven't shot any aliens in two whole weeks!" someone is heard to say. Others are less eager to return to the fight. Veterans who remember the carnage of the battlefield, haunted by ghosts of fallen friends. Rookies, fearing the upcoming test of their courage and firepower. Despite their fears, they are still ready.

Whether brave or foolish, the Freelancer company prepares to take up arms once more in the name of the Alliance, and the last remnants of their people.

Graves gives the briefing, since the whole company is being called up. You'll have some support on this one, which is good. That said, as usual, Section One gets the dubious honor of being placed front and center in the overall battle plan. Nothing less for the great Dragonslayers. The problem with winning is that people expect you to keep winning.

"Here's the short version," Graves says, standing in front of the whole company. "The mages want to learn stuff about the worms, and the priests think they can make it happen. Yeah, I know -- mages and priests, working together. Crazy, right? Next thing you know it'll be cats and dogs. That's why I figure we should take this job -- it must be important to inspire those two to collaborate on this one. That, and we can always use more scrap." Freelancers, like everyone else in the Alliance, operate on a kind of jury-rigged laissez-faire capitalism, and fighting aliens not only defends humanity but also pays the bills for all that armor repair and exotic weapon research. Killing a dragon was worth a sizeable sum in rare earth minerals, refined chemicals, and programmable matter, but even so, a Freelancer company is never rich for long.

Graves continues, "The initial stage of the plan is to retake a golden age industrial plant in the southern Andarian Overgrowth Zone. Our very own Alchemist has figured out a way to power it back up again, a contraption of her own making, with a little help from a friend. Recon is already on route. Section One will be on point, with Two on rearguard. We've got detatchments from the Mages guarding our flanks, so if you see any huge blue explosions to either side, that's probably them.

"The Alchemist's machine will be loaded onto a remote hover-truck transport. Section One's mission is to protect the transport as it moves from the LZ outside the plant to the central power control inside. It's an old remote system for sensitive payloads: it'll stop in case of nearby hostiles, and start up again in response to friendlies. Try to keep at least one squad by the transport at all times. Cat, I'll leave the assignments to you."

Thoth's eyelights narrowed and span in concentration. His hand hovered over Bonnie's holster. Well, over her position on his hip, secured by a cutting edge quick-release maglock. In his other hand were two small, metal discs. Cillian's world called them coins. Thoth's might've too: he never really paid attention to currencies. These ones were useless to him, anyway.

Well, they had one use.

Thoth tossed them into the air. A heartbeat passes, to let them get some distance. Then he draws. The movement is subtle. Detached, raised just above the hip, and her barrel is leveled skywards. One, two, three shots crack out in a half-second, each one closely accompanied by a "ting" of metal pinging off metal.

The coins come back to the ground as he mock-blows the smoke from the barrel. One coin has three dents in it; the other has three neat holes.

Nice.

...now to get back inside before someone saw him victory-dancing. Graves's briefing was about to start.

Over the break between missions Smokes had been seen less and less. When he was spotted it was either outside in the fields around the base or in the communication relay having a hushed conversation. Whatever he was doing kept him from even etching more tallies into the kill count table.

During the briefing he stayed by the door with his arms crossed, typical Hunter behavior. And like any other Hunter he ran off when it was done. But instead of to the armory, it was to the launchpad.

Viper, a young, lithe woman, in black, form-concealing armor, waits in the transport inbound to Echo Base restlessly. Her helmet off, she smokes a deathstick, sucking down on the toxic nicotine-chemical blend until she tosses the butt on the floor of the transport, grinding it under her boot. She had come to Echo Base, and these Freelancers, in the hopes of meeting her brother again, but Rhino had sent her a single, rambling message, and not messaged back to her many, increasingly worried replies. Rhino was too big of a boy scout to just ignore her, hell, that's what she did to him for the last five years, and the message itself was... disturbing. A buncha garbled shit about the satellites and bodies. She didn't get it, but what she did know is that she had to come find him.

She might not have answered his calls for five years, but dammit, she was still his sister, and she had a duty to make sure he was okay, even if he was an overbearing doofus.

Walking off the transport, onto the landing pad, Viper put on her helmet, looking around for a second, before she finds a priest, doing some fiddly work with a cargo loader that was currently on autopilot, unloading the ship she came in on. "Hey! You!" The priest looks up at her, nonplussed. "You know anyone by the name of Rhino?"

At this, the Priest's demeanor changes, somewhat, and she(?) nods, saying, "You're going to want to come with me."
---------------
In the Medbay, Viper looks over the robot body that was supposedly her older brother, and then up at the Priest who brought him to it. "Is this supposed to be a fucking joke?" The priest, frustrated, shakes his(?) head, and explains the circumstances around his death. Apparently, Einherjar, or Rhino, as he used to be known, had gone MIA in a mission involving the worms, and his mind was transferred into ODIN, given a synthetic body. A few days ago, before Viper had arrived, he had just... stopped responding. The Priests confirmed that his consciousness still resided within, he just... wasn't thinking.

Slamming her fist into the bulkhead next to her, Viper lets out a stream of profanity, and eventually, looks up at the priest, asking, "Who's in charge of this base?"

Viper reaches the room just after the briefing starts, and decides on waiting until Graves says his piece. As much as she might resent them for getting her brother killed and then comatose, interrupting their briefing and antagonizing them right after might not be the best way of convincing them to let her join up with the crew, at least until Rhino woke up again.

After the man in charge finishes speaking, Viper slides through the crowd surrounding him, and taps his shoulder. "Hey. Graves, is it? Got a few questions. First one, can I join up with your outfit? My brother is fuckin' comatose, and I'm not gonna leave him alone here. Second, can I join in on this mission? I want to work out some frustration on these cocksucking Worms."

Solaaris had been summoned to the laboratory by its creator after the briefing had ended. When it entered the room, Solaaris noted that there seemed to have been an electrical storm that had trashed everything. Loose sheets of paper were being hurled around the lab, leaving trails of ash as they singed in the indoor turbulence. The place was in utter disrepair.

"Oh hiii Sol! I bet you can't wait to get your hands on what I've got for you!" the mechanic told Solaaris as if there wasn't a glaringly obvious problem in the slightest.
"I've been working on your latest module but as you can see it's a bit volatile. Not really had time to test it very much but let's hope it doesn't need too much tweaking."

"Thank you Miss Lunis, I shall put this to good use. Would you like me t-"

"Nononono that's quite alright! Don’t you have a mission to attend to? Let me sort out the lab and it'll be spick and span by the time you get back. Byeee!" and with that, Lunis hugged the robot, shoved it out of the lab and slammed the door with unnecessary force.

A muffled "...sorry a bit loud..." was all that Solaaris could make out past all the crashing, banging, and cursing coming from behind those doors. Solaaris thought this would be a good time to head on out.

Hiram found a certain sort of irony in all of this, despite all the changes to the base in his absence, all the people who'd came and left and died, the one consistency in his life was getting plastered on straight alcohol cut with Void knows what every other day. And now with Graves in charge, that small comfort was taken from him. He'd learned that the hard way the first day he was drug off to mandatory drills seeing everything one color gradient off and upside down, injecting raw mana into whiskey turns out to do really really weird shit.

And now here he was, the only mage on this Sats damned base with Astraphobia, being volunteered to carry the lab boys' prototype tesla weapon into battle. He had begun to grow tired of irony.

Flare stands in an isolated hallway, away from the rest of the outfit, just before the briefing begins. While some might decry isolationism, family gatherings like this shouldn't be interrupted.

"Good work on the last mission," says the taciturn sniper. "You're blooded now. And you've lasted long than that one at least." He jerks his head at the figure sitting on the window sill.

"The fuck!? That was a fluke and you know it, I'd be standing in his place if not for that!"

Flare simply watches the more feminine of the two hurl abuse at the eldest of the family. Flicker and Shimmer. His brother and sister. And simultaneously, one and the same as him. Even Flare doesn't know how that works.

Raising his voice, he catches their attention. "Much as I'd love to stay and chat, there's a mission briefing soon."

At once, the two mirror images of himself spin and face him.
"Good luck out there."
"Tsk, better not embarass me by dying, asshole."
With those words, Flare spins on his heel and walks away. And with that, the figures disappear, having never been there in the first place.

Hellcat says, "Show some respect to the Captain."

"It's fine," Graves says to Hellcat. "She's upset about, you know, the whole thing where worms ate her brother. I can understand that." Turning to Viper, he says, "This here's a volunteer outfit, kid, but I need to know you got what it takes. Do a run on the danger range, Program C. I'll authorize you in the system. If your numbers are good enough, you can join Hellcat's section. You'll be right on the front lines against the worms. Think you can work out enough frustration that way?" A drone attendant hovers up to him to get his attention, and he leaves to go deal with it. Hellcat gives Viper an appraising stare before following him.

After their televised skirmish, Dirtnap did what any self respecting Drifter with some jink in his pocket and a little reputation would. He bought himself a new jacket. It looked the part, lacking the dirt stains and rough stitching that had accrued on his old "lucky" jacket, something newly fabricated and shipped over from one of the civvie domes. An operation with the Worms would probably be just the thing to "distress" his new threads to better match the scratched and dented aesthetic of his refurbished armor. The Freelancers might've been happy enough to pump him full of potentially lethal nanotechnology and rebuild him into an alien busting murder machine, but they weren't about to waste valuable resources on a scruffy outlaw from the bogs.

Well, helping to kill a dragon, getting his consciousness pulled like silly putty across continuums, and making his public debut made him feel a bit more like a real Freelancer now. There was no itching as the nanomachines rebuilt parts of him after exercise anymore, and the bird-like spasms of movement had finally smoothed out. As he strode out of the armory, one of the big guns propped against his shoulder, he waved to the assembled team. It was wierd how many of them were starting to seem familiar.

"Yo! Everybody ready for a pleasant nature hike?" he asked, smiling broadly under his faceless helmet.

>>3915417
Viper simply nods curtly to Graves, and then Hellcat, and heads off, before stopping abruptly, turning to one of the nearby Freelancers. "Where's the danger range?"
------------------------

Panting heavily, Viper punches the ground. "DAMN IT." She had made it most of the way through Program C, she supposed, before she was attacked by an invisible lizard of some kind, and the program cut out, simulated terrain disappearing. Sucking in wind, Viper stands up, looking around for the console with the priest operating it. Stomping over, Viper, a bit sore, brusquely asks, "So? How'd I do?" She probably didn't get halfway through, though. This outfit had people like [i]the[/i] Smokes in it, how the fuck was she supposed to compare?

Shrugging, the priest showed her the program overview screen, projecting a hologram above the console, which simplified the training regimen as a timeline. Apparently, she had gotten 3/4ths of the way through it. Huh. According to the "High Scores" screen, she did... about the same as most other Freelancers, actually. Though that 'Graves' guy and Smokes were at the top, of course. Grumbling, and muttering about damn lizards, Viper heads back in, looking for... Hellcat was her name? Hopefully she did good enough to join the mission.

From the newest ship steps out a person in a sealed, white suit. They float a few inches off the ground before touching down and running over to Smokes. Their hands raise in excitement as they spin to look around the base. In a clearly feminine voice she rapidly speak, "It is a most joyous occasion to see you again Bringer Smokes! And this base of operations seems to be perfect for me to continue my training at. Thank you for getting me transferred here. You have to show me around and help me meet the others!"

Smoke remained motionless until his hand was grabbed. He gave a heavy sigh and allowed Grid to pull him along back into the base.

Dozer has been pumped to get back into the fight after a little bout in the arena. Sliding on the armour again felt just right. Deciding to done the Biotic Vest this time, seeing as the Worms were involved. His solar core had been retrofitted with a Phoenix amplifier, ready to restart his body once if he falls. Checking on last time, he slides on his helmet, and then his skull face plate. "Knock knock, everyone."

A robot walks onto the parade grounds of Echo Base. The Freelancers had spotted its coming kilometers off, but decided not to open fire. Any distinguishing marks that it might have once borne had long since faded, leaving only a dusty colossus standing tall in the sunlight. Determining it was indeed surrounded by humans, however gaudy their riot gear, speakers creak loose from the its shoulders.

"MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE. I am Riot Suppression Unit model AACH4D - Distinguished: Attitide Adjuster - reporting for duty after *ZZRT* days, hours, minutes out of commission. May I speak to the Commander of this station?"

The speakers sink back down as the robot waits patiently for an answer. One would get the sense it could wait for a long time.

>>3915870

Graves comes out himself to meet with the machine. After a short conversation, he returns to the base, with the robot in tow. "He wants to help," Graves says. and shrugs. "I explained the situation to him, and he just said--"

"I AM HERE TO KEEP THE PEACE," booms the robot.

Graves winces at the noise. "Yeah, that. We'll sweep him for daemons, of course, but I don't think we'll find any." He looks up at the colossus that barely fits into the base hallways. "If we can get him geared up in time, I have the feeling he might be useful."

The armourers and mechanics were less than enthusiastic when asked to outfit 11 feet of peacekeeping with standard lancer gear. The robot spoke rarely; asking questions about how the world had changed since its last tour keeping civilians safe during the Collapse. Picking up an LMG and a Greatsword it noted as feeling "too small", Attitude Adjuster handled itself admirably in training, before losing to those damn lizards.

"I have kept the piece against both man and machine, xenos will not be much different."

Phaws stared at the cracked screen of her communicator, jagged fissures spreading cancer-like around her thumb. She had put her thumb through the screen two sentences into the message the device was now struggling to display. Which was all rather well, because Phaws was struggling to make sense of the disconnected shotgun-scatter of glyphs.

" DEAR PHAUSE THERASKINE "

File: Phaws.jpg (33 KB, 528x518)

They always prefaced their communications with Dear. They liked it like that. They thought it made their smug, know-it-all, overbearing, arrogant, limited-idiotic--- The communicator screamed out a shower of electronic sparks as the metal holding it together began to bend, half the screen cutting to a rainbow of chaotic data.

" THE FORMAL INVESTIGATORY HEARING ON YOUR THESIS PROJECT HAS NOW CONCLUDED. THE UNIVERSITY OF "

Phaws skipped ahead, racing to outpace the rising bile.

" IT IS THE OPINION OF THIS INVESTIGATORY COMMITTEE THAT OUR PREVIOUS PROCEDURES WERE ERRONEOUS. MOVING FORWARD, THE UNIVERSITY HAS ELECTED TO RE-INSTATE YOU IN YOUR PREVIOUS POSITION AND WILL BE EXPECTING YOU TO CONFIRM YOUR AVAILABILITY--"

The communicator snapped, raining sparks over the table. Phaws flung the half broken communicator away then buried her head in her hands. The damn devices never lasted longer than a week now, pitted and gouged and finally broken by swirls of void-energy. Same as the sidearm, the desk and when Phaws nightmare kicked during that one terror-soaking dream sword-fight with the wormed out, green-tinged Vacia singing the song of a thousand-thousand wiggling things, the bed. Phaws slept on the floor now. Digging gouges in the floor meant you didn't wake up with your knee through a wall.

What did those *assholes* in the department think they were doing? They'd told her to leave! Kicked her off a frigid mountain top with a scoot-along-now, we'll get in touch about the lab recovery charges, and no, don't call us, we'll call you, leave your badge, there's a good lass! The rank little bastards! She'd punched the professor! She'd punched the security! She'd punched a lot of people. And then gone for a drink. And then kind of kept going through every synthetic chemical between here and Emiria, with a detour through the stuff in the janitorial closets. And then they send a message! Like nothing at all had happened! Stuff HAD happened! Phaws had been licking rainbows and killing Dragons! It wasn't like she'd just spent her life waiting for the deliberation committee to come to a conclusion, didn't they know she had built a architectural memorial marvel in the Westree Memorial Can Cathedral, learned how to fight with a sword, punched a Brute to death?

She'd made it obvious how little she needed them. It had been in every daily message. Several times. In large letters. They should have gotten the point by now. Arrogant little narrow-minded, myopic researchers on their bloody mountain. Phaws didn't need them at all. She'd go tell them in *person* and then they' finally get it and she'd be free!

Phaws snapped up from her hands.

" Someone get me a drink. And a sharp sword. I have my thesis defence coming up "

As the strike team gears up in the armory, Hellcat takes a moment to address the section. "From what Graves has told me, you guys work all right when left to your own devices. I ain't planning to mess around too much with how he ran the show. Just head out there and do your thing. I'll back you up if shit goes south for ya. Keep your eyes up and your trigger fingers itchy. Squad leaders, watch your teams. Don't overextend, but don't hang back neither. And send those damn xenos back to hell."

The transport hovercart is guided by drones out to the launchpad. The Alchemist's generator device is already strapped in. To your surprise, the device turns out to hold a living entity. Within a transparent containment sphere in the center of the machine is the familiar you rescued from the Scavs, all the way back in that first mission. It seems perfectly content where it is, gazing out with curiosity, tail slowly swishing back and forth, occasionally emitting bursts of electricity from its eyes.

"The familiar has agreed to help," says the Alchemist. "He's going to act as a power source at our destination. Get the transport into position in central control, and he'll do the rest. All you need to do is keep the hovercart safe on its way from the LZ."

Andaria is across a narrow ocean, south of Meranth. The strike team has some time to think about what they're up against, talk to their friends, re-check their gear, or even grab a quick nap. But after all too short a time, the dropship passes over the waters and onto the green fields and forests of Andaria.

This is worm territory, as anyone can see from up here: the abundance of alien flora, as well as twisted versions of native plants. Cities can be seen in the distance, crumbling and overgrown ruins long abandoned by men, as well as vast spires of the worm's organic web-coccoon construction, far-off on the horizon: some unknown complex for the worms' devious purposes. A watchfulness sets in. The worms are known to have fliers, and with no escort, the dropship would be a juicy target.

The Alchemist's codec ping sounds. "Okay, team, listen up! Your job is to keep a close guard on that transport. If it gets destroyed, not only will we lose our chance to hit the worms, but you'll be letting that electric kitty in there die. Can you live with yourself if that happens? If the kitty dies because of you? No you can't! So make sure that it gets to the power control center in one piece.

"The transport will automatically follow the programmed route. All you have to do is keep at least one person next to it to keep the friendly transponder activated. Any enemy signatures next to it will keep it supressed. It's also got a rejuvie kit rigged to the power source, so anyone standing next to the transport will heal a little bit over time."

Hellcat says, "Wolf squad is on payload defense. We can expect the worms to know what we have planned, and to make the transport their top priority. Dozer, you're squad lead. If anyone can defend that transport, it's a sturdy lad like yourself.

"Smokes, take Fox, head out on the left. Thoth, take Hawk, take the high ground to the right of the LZ, lay down a base of fire to support our advance. Both flanking squads, make sure to keep pace with the transport. Cover your squad-mates as they advance.

"I'll be in the back, ready to bail you out if you fuck up. But I'm sure that won't happen. After all, you boys want to impress me, right?" A mischievous note sounds in her voice. "Pull off a flawless mission here so I can have a nice lazy day."

Your comms ping with an unfamiliar set of tones, and a woman's voice is heard. "Freelancer company, this is Vesper. I'm your contact with the Mages. We're in position surrounding the site, awaiting your drop.

"Be advised, we have reports from your recon unit. The worms have evolved a new set of soldiers. These ones seem more humanoid in nature. We've observed a new expendable foot-soldier, similar to Scav thralls. We've taken to calling them Termites. There were other, larger new evolutions sighted as well, but the data so far is inconclusive. So we'll be learning as we go. Just how we like it at the University."

Snow's voice comes in. "I didn't get a good look at them, but what I saw looked dangerous. Watch yourselves out there, strike team."

"We'll be guarding the site perimeter as best we can," Vesper says. "So concentrate your fire on the ones coming up from those tunnels. If anything breaks through our line, we'll give you the heads-up, so you'll at least have some warning. Once the generator is in position, we believe the priests can activate a set of automated defenses on the facility exterior, driving the worms back. So just concentrate on doing your job, and once that power source is secure, you'll be safe."

The red warning light switches on, indicating the LZ is close. The dropship door opens and starts to lower, and a howling wind blows into the cargo bay. Hellcat stands up at the front of the ship. "Strike team, get ready to drop!"

The industrial zone is a haphazard mixture of rusted factory machinery, overgrown grass and vines, and structures of the worm's bio-goop. The dropship descends, hovering low over the ground, and the Freelancers pile out the open cargo bay door. The hovercart transport slowly descends as well, landing in the middle of Wolf squad. A golden trail pings on the Freelancers' HUDs, alerting them as the cart's computer finishes calculating its projected course to its destination in central control.

"No hostile contacts," Hellcat says. "But there will be, and soon. Everyone find a good spot, and get ready to repel assault."

Freelancer turn 1 begins.

Hiram slipped forward, scanning over the Thunderlance Instructional PDF on his Tac Visor, fumbling his finger around to find the safety. After clicking it on, the lights along the side powered up, and the weapon began to emit a low but steady hum. The Mage opened up his comms to general range.

"I'm not the only one who heard Chemie threaten to kill us all, right?" Dirtnap asked as the VTOL wash of the team's dropship set his scarf fluttering in the urban blight. He tapped the side of his helmet as if checking his comms, "She manages the base's grenade supply, that's not an idle threat."

Smokes was off in a customary swirl of acrid, ashy whisps, the squad following him up the ramp. Dirtnap clicked his heels together, turning on the Phase Boots he was wearing now that he was out of the confines of the dropship, red pulses of lights running through the seams in his armor as he hefted the ten kilo support weapon and brought up the rear.

Rather than running up with the squad, he moved down the alley, tucking in behind the hard cover and looking out over the payload's path. He glanced back at where the quiet XIII was peaking out from behind a pillar, giving her a nod of acknowledgement without calling out.

Four rookies on Fox Squad this op, even if Smokes had hand-picked one. He thought back to Shimmer, bracing the LMG on top of the rusting scrap cover as he waited for the enemy to put in an appearance. He wanted them all to come home today. "Viva la Red Team." he muttered under his breath.

>>3917240
Jetstream, you can't move Diagonally through Heavy Cover. You have the Movement to spare, you may want to correct your pathing.

>>3917230
Actually, while I'm passing out suggestions, Viper remember that you can move through Light Cover without penalty. If you want to approach the ramp more aggressively you can by doing so.

Baron had been born with a figurative silver spoon in his mouth. A designer baby, born to a rich oligarch, on a remote, secure space station. He had never needed anything. And yet, he yearned for something more. Forging documents, procuring equipment and booking a shuttle had been easy, with his family's connection. And now, he was on a dropship, awaiting his first mission, clad in armor, clutching his spear and shield. "What am I even doing?" was the main thought that echoed through his head. Was this truly fine? He wasn't able to continue his reflexion, the lights of the dropship switching to green. It was time. The drop went fine, considering this was his first real one. He checked his weapons one last time. His squad leader's voice crackled through the comms. Baron took a second to compose himself, before answering. "I'll take care of it, chief." Slowly, he stepped to the side of the convoy, shield upraised.

Solaaris felt ready to take on this mission. It wanted to use the reshuffling of the new management as an opportunity to demonstrate its effectiveness in battle. As it dropped in with the new rookies, it decided there and then that today was the day where all the new faces in its squad would live to see another day.

"Remember the plan Wolf squad! We will see this payload through to the very end! Try not to overexert yourselves and we might see each other again in time for a celebration at the bar in HQ."

>>3917231
>>3917256
"Affirmative Mr. Dozer, I shall stay as close to the payload as need be."

>>3917532
"Good work Mr. Baron! Once we spot those worms, I'll be right there to help you out."

>>3917238
"Mine seems to be quite functional without any interfering noises. From the information I have gathered from my data banks, you will just need to break into it with a couple of uses and it should solve the problem. Speaking of something that needs to be broken into..."

Solaaris decided that it would be a good time to test out its new Smite module. It got in position to receive the payload and initiated the boot sequence.

The entire ride in the dropship Grid stared at various people for minutes at a time. She floats slightly off the the floor of the ship and lets herself touch down to the ground. While the squad moved into action she looked around at the surroundings, taking in the landscape. After a few seconds she saw everyone was moving and hurried to keep up.

"Do not worry about Smokes, Squadmates. He is fast, but we can move together to stay safe. So long as you are close to me, you will not be taken before your time is up naturally!"

It costs one more Mobility, actually. Given how advantageous heavy cover is, it's a small price to pay. Admittedly, Hunters and Drifters don't feel that cost as keenly.

That said, Raven probably would've adjusted the move, I'm just providing a reminder so he doesn't have to (with 20 players and Sats only know how many Bugs to juggle, he's got a lot to track as it is)

>>3918724
Wait so Diagonal movement isn't all 2 points?

>>3918753
"No. Engaging peacefully in a diagonal direction only costs one movement point."

Here's the relevant bit of rules. Other than this, diagonals are fair game, they don't cost extra move or range, it's 1:1 with cardinals.

The Freelancers venture forward. Wolf squad takes up positions to guard the advance of the hovercart, while Fox and Hawk move to find good firing lines.

Hellcat drops last, taking up a rearguard spot, rifle still carried at ease on her shoulder. "Stay alert, team," she says. "The bugs probably have camouflaged tunnel entrances around here. Don't expect the seismic scans to show us every incoming bug, we could eat a flank attack at any moment. Be ready for anything."

As the advancing Freelancers pass by the tall grass, small alien creatures attempt an escape on skittering legs, but are gunned down by those vigilant enough to take up an overwatch stance and cover their advancing allies.

"What the hell are those?" asks Roland, a rookie drifter, looking down at the corpse. "Are those the parasites? That's not what they looked like in the files."

Hiram the mage goes down on one knee to take a closer look at the creature he just blasted, acrid green blood seeping from its wounds, spindly legs still twitching. "No. It's something different. The parasites are like grubs. This is more like some kind of insect or arachnid, except, you know, it's the size of a dog. They're like small versions of the weavers. A spiderling? Spiderite?"

"Seismic activity on the graph," the Alchemist says. "They're coming up right in front of you, just past those buildings!"

"You heard the lady," Hellcat says. "Forward elements: weapons hot, prepare to engage."

Freelancer Turn 2 begins.

"Advance at the cart's pace and keep weapons ready." Smokes lets one cough slip over the comms. "If you feel secure you can stay out of cover, but don't make a bad habit out of it."

Smokes wraps both hands around Arcstrider as he dashes forward, readying a strike. "Unless the situation is dire, don't leave this flank."

The payload glided along its predicted path, the rookie following it at a reasonable pace. Some alien lifeforms rushed out of the grass, only to be quickly dispatched by his allies. Right, he thought. This was war. Even if things appeared calm, he couldn't relax. The knight glanced at the payload to his left. What were they escorting anyway? The briefing mentioned a familliar, but he hadn't seen it. The containment sphere caught his eyes, and he finally noticed the feline creature contained within. "Huh." Tentatively, he waved the tip of his spear back forth, the little animal pressing its paws against the glass to try and catch the crackling weapon. Guess that settled why they needed to protect this thing.

"Well I didn't do much... " The newest member of Wolf squad assured, not used to such enthusiasm. Still, he felt a bit safer already. "I appreciate the help, though."

"Now don't be greedy Kaiman, you've got to learn to appreciate what you have. Like a giant robot, a couple of ghosts, and a living legend." Dirtnap said, hefting the LMG up and off of the point where he'd braced it, crackling ionized air still sparking where he'd blown one of the skittering Spiderlings who'd been creeping up on Dozer into scattered fragments of chitin and sizzling meat.

"...Wonder what 'Lings taste like." he mused, sparing a lingering look at the steaming corpse.

Traceries of red lingering in his wake, he broke away from the pillar and rushed to a forward position where he could overlook the western seismic spike.

Smokes and Dirtnap, in forward obs positions on the left flank, report a Scav tunnel just now breaking through to the surface, the last vestiges of earth and concrete falling away into the yawning chasm below.

Smokes says, "We'll be *cough* seeing the little bastards poke their heads out any moment now."

"That mage said there were new evolutions," Dirtnap says. "Wonder what fun surprise they've got for us today?"

Smokes says, "So long as it bleeds, I'm happy."

From the tunnels come something unseen before, not the parasites or the scourge, the swarms you've already witnessed. Instead, crawling from the cthonic depths are squads of a new creature, still with the characteristic chitin armor and insectoid limbs, but bipedal, and carrying a weapon not unlike a rifle, and taking up cover positions instead of mindlessly charging forward. "Vesper mentioned something called she called termites, that fought like Scav thralls," Hellcat says. "I'm guessing this is them? They don't look so tough, but there's probably a lot more behind them."

Dirtnap and Thoth each take out the forward termite in the squad in front of them, but more are following. Everyone can feel a rumbling in the ground. Who knows how many of the things are down there, right under your feet?

The Alchemist calls out, "More readings coming in -- Fox squad, watch your backs! They're breaking through!"

A projectile whizzes out of the sky, a crash pod that cracks open on impact, splitting into pieces that fizzle up into ash. The delivery was a rookie drifter, who wobbles to his feet and, realizing his commanding officer is not ten feet away, throws Hellcat a shaky salute. "Late join, pardon me!"

"You're Sergi, right?" she says. "First trip on the man cannon? Well, shake it off, cause you're just in time to help guard the rear of the formation against that worm tunnel that's about to open right behind you." She points, and Sergi turns to see dirt spraying as another worm tunnel begins to emerge. "Ready to see some action, rookie?"

Freelancer Turn 3 begins.

"Yeah, looks like you've got this handled." Dirtnap admitted, hands already a little numb from the way the LMG bucked as it laid down a thick hail of electric death. This wasn't his first time seeing Smoke in action, but that storm of flying limbs and the arcs of green blood spinning through the air were still a little mystifying. This wasn't like on the Satellite though, out here if the boss's eagerness for carnage got the better of him he wasn't getting back up.

Well, they were only bootleg Thralls, it was probably too early to getting worked up. Bigger things were coming though, he'd bet on it.

Smokes displays characteristic prowess, dispatching the initial squad of termites in a bloody onslaught with a series of precision blink attacks. Each strike from the Arcstrider lasts for barely enough time to leave a light-infused afterimage, before another teleport brings it to the next foe. Meanwhile, Corax displays his own expertise by landing a headshot on a termite in heavy cover, while Hiram activates his new ability of delayed-blast grenades and tosses a trip mine right where his HUD displays the seismic readings.

The northern groups of termites open fire. Their weaponry fires not ballistics or energy, but instead disorges small biting creatures as projectiles. Kaiman takes cover behind a derelict machine, the biters slamming into the metal and gnawing through it as easily as flesh, and Thoth's mirror image illusion protects him. Both are grateful they aren't the first to experience the teeth of these things. More and more of the termites emerge from the tunnels, and though they've proven weak so far, they may break through on nothing but sheer numbers given time.

The tunnel breaks through in the southwest, but the emerging squad of termites trips Hiram's incendiary mine, triggering a blast of napalm that quickly burns them to death. The charred alien flesh releases a fetid, pungent smell.

Through the flames created from Hiram's mine, one creature emerges mostly unscathed, larger and bulkier than the termites, smouldering with flame but seemingly unaffected. It is clumsy, covered in growths that pulse and swell in disgusting undulations, and has whip-like tentacles in place of arms. The barrage of overwatch shots from Fox squad, perhaps taken in haste, all miss their mark. Hellcat lands a shot from afar, but barely dents the creature's thick, pustulated hide. "Whatever the fuck that thing is, it's tough!" she warns.

Freelancer Turn 4 begins.

"Right, they have ranged capabilities. Cover, everyone!" Thoth tries to not sound too startled at the tooth bug flying past his head. His feet carry him into a leap off the edge of the platform, in the middle of which he hurls a iridescent orb of condensed mana. He lands with a roll and a leap to press his back against the cover.

"Fortune and Viper, see if you can get into that grass, or even through if you can get to cover. We've got to.hold that platform so they can't get up on it and shoot down on Wolf."

Seeing the lumpy, whip-armed tumor staggering its way out of a roaring inferno, Dirtnap slammed a hand against the side of his gun. With an eruption of sparks and electric tendrils licking at his arms, he pried a long cylinder of glowing blue coils out of the reciever, the bright actinic glow that had seeped from the seams of the LMG's assembly going cold and dark as he stuffed the Rune into his jacket pocket. Reaching into his other breast pocket he pulled out a new cylinder, greenish characters circling the head as a tube of faintly luminescent green slime bubbled effevescently. Slamming it home, wisps of acrid green smoke began to leak from the gun.

"Then I guess I better soften him up!" Dirtnap responded, walking back towards the rear guard as the LMG belched a string of smoldering green tracers through the air. "Have at 'im, kids!"

Thoth frowns at his mirror image as it moves ENTIRELY out of sync with him. Vito-energy splitter must be on the fritz.

"Corax and Dawn, rotate to support their move. They'll need it; I don't like how open that forward arm is. I'll move back up in a sec. And Valdus, you should be good to run down and give Wofl's forward elements a little more punch."

For a while now, XXIII appeared to be waiting in overwatch, stock still and ever vigilant of any xeno interlopers.

In reality, she had been absent-mindedly staring at the nearby tree out of the corner of her tactical visor. That imposing being of bark and and cellulose and cambium cells, taller and wider than a mound of hundreds...maybe even thousands of human bodies compacted into a neat cuboid shape! What miraculous process must have occurred to bring such things such as trees into reality? Could an aggregation of roots to extract nourishment from deep within the earth, leaves with which harness the searing emanations of the stars themselves, and sturdy wood for withstanding force and enduring the passage of time better than any human really have been assembled through sheer chance and the trial and error of its predecessors? Maybe there was once some wise maker who decreed that the synthesizing of electromagnetic radiation and carbonic-oxidic particles was a suitable method of sustenance for the future forms of the metaphorically primordial precursor of the being we would now call the "tree". How astonishing!

Perhaps, she thought, if she stood stock still in this place for long enough then she too, would become such a hardy amalgamation of phloem and chlorophyll. Perhaps if everyone did the same, then they too, would mark the spots where-

And then the thunderous blast of a nearby incendiary mine - suppressed to a quiet *poof* by the audio regulation functions of her headgear - and the yells of her squad over the comms knocked XXIII out of her reverie.

She peers around the corner and enters overwatch again.

Raiden charges boldly out of the vanguard, dispatching a termite with a swing of the Butcher's Cleaver, a bone-blade of Hive technology. With a blur of energy, Raiden disappears before any retribution comes his way, blinking to a good defensive position and leaving only a blue shimmering afterimage behind.

The ablative plating of the tumor-beast is shorn off by concentrated heavy firepower from the light machine guns. However, as the organic masses drop to the ground, still writhing, their true nature becomes apparent. Even as the original creature dies from a devastating magnum headshot from Sergi, a third parasite falls to the ground.

The grub-like parasites spawned from the bloated creature's destruction squirm forward, fanged maws gnashing. As many have seen with their own eyes, a fate worse than death awaits those who let the worm parasites take hold. Armor is no defense. XXIII shoots one, but there are two left, already scuttling towards Fox squad.

Hawk squad is not having an easier time. Two inconspicuous mounds of biomass explode in a burst of arachnid horror, alien spiderlings scurrying out to bite and swarm the Freelancers who disturbed them. Valdus and Dawn's armor protects them from the bites, but as the spiderlings move they also create a web of silksteel that hampers their movements. Thoth's energy shield is unaffected by the webs, but is damaged from the bites, and both his shield and his second remaining mirror image fall to the onslaught of spider horrors.

[Webbed X: Take -X to accuracy and mobility. Lasts until you or an adjacent ally uses (M) or (A) to Clear Webs.]

Some of the termites on the surface level begin displaying an ability similar to the larger weavers, creating some kind of silk paste which they rapidly form into biomass structures, creating cover for their advance or a ramp to ascend the high ground.

More of the parasite carriers arise from each spawning tunnel, along with yet another group of termites from each of the northern tunnels.

Freelancer Turn 5 begins.

"Alright, here—" Thoth breaks out into maddened screaming as spiders explode at him from every direction. A mana grenade is punched into the ground, crudely triggering the device, and a calmer segment of his mind registers the spiders. For a split-second it struggles in vain to persuade the currently in control irrational side to take action. Then it changes tack. "KILL THE SPIDERS! SPIDERS FUCK OFF!" Thoth yelps, hurling another grenade towards his teammates. These things had IFF, right? Yeah, yeah, he did that.

"ALL HANDS BE WARNED, BIO-MATTER IS A RISK, IT CAN BE FUCKING SPIDERS!"
