    Welcome back to Corp Quest.
    In this number-crunching quest, each poster is a member of a tiny subcontracting firm that works for TradeStar, a super-corporation in the far future. Your job is initiate a massive mining project on a planet that TradeStar has unofficially named 'Hajjar'. Once you have reached the level of production stated in the first thread, your mission will be complete and you will be allowed to leave the planet, with enough cash to keep you in luxury for the rest of your lives.
    However, there are problems. The natives are hostile and there are several other corporations looking to exploit the planet and looking to exploit you. How you deal with these threats is up to you.
    In recent events, the nanovirus situation has reached a point of no return. You have abandoned your starship research and have instead decided to tackle the nanovirus yourselves rather than evacuate the planet. Following the legends of the natives, you have discovered the Cave of the Father to be a buried spaceship, concealing a warhead designed to obliterate the virus. In order to make the central brain of the nanovirus vulnerable, you launched the warhead at the heart of the virus, along with a collection of other missles to act as a shield to defend it. Accompanied by several stealth drones, S70, Joanna and even a handful of subcontractors are flying after the missle barrage, preparing to enter the central brain's bunker and eliminate this threat once and for all.

    Before I continue, however, I would like the gentlemen who want to contribute to this quest to post. After I am sure a couple of people are interested, I will begin.

    Hell, that's enough. Let me inform you in more detail of the situation you are in.

    As well as launching the virus destroying missle, you have launched other missles as decoys. These missles include:

    50 EMP Missles
    30 Decontaminant Missles
    15 Herbicide Missles
    15 HE Missiles
    15 Napalm Missiles
    15 Pulse Missles
    15 Thermobaric Missiles

    Remember that the virus will attempt the intercept these missles, infect them and disarm them, rendering them useless. If they disarm the virus killer, all of this will be in vain.
    The only decoy missles that are remotely effective against the virus at this stage are the decontamination missles - which also do not harm your missles whatsoever.

    Currently, all missles are timed to land on the island in a time window approximately 30 seconds before the virus killer and 30 seconds after the virus killer. They're arranged randomly.

    You have approximately ten minutes before the missles are in range of being shot down. Would you like to change their arrangement in any form? You can slow them or cause them to accelerate as you wish.
    >> Subcontractor Helus 09/18/09(Fri)18:18 No.5914144
    >>5914091
    maybe we should speed one of the missiles up to see what kind of anti-air defenses we're facing here. Speed up one EMP rocket. We have the most of those.

    It might be good to accelerate all missiles as they approach the Virus exclusion zone to minimize intercept time.

    It might be hard to convince the others if they got their backs to the walls, desperation is hard to argue with.

    But if EMP have just been rendered useless by the newest generation of the Virus we can ask them to launch all EMP missiles as those will not help them anyways.

    Accelerating missle.

    Ahead is an island absolutely infested with the virus. It can't even be described an island anymore - it's a living, breathing, thing. An ugly, pulsating black heart lying on the ocean, choking out the virus and hurling it into the air.

    However, as the scout missle approaches, it ceases hurling the large clumps of infected material - instead, a thousand pores open up on the blackened soil and from each pore emerges a thousand crows, black avians built completely from the nanovirus, flying straight towards the missle, slamming into it one after another.

    6% Infection.
    14% Infection.
    29% Infection - serious communication problems, the camera ceases functioning properly.
    42% Infection.
    57% Infection.
    74% Infection - the missle has successfully been disarmed by the virus.
    91% Infection - the virus has triggered the self-destruct mechanism and it explodes harmlessly.

    No further contact.
    >>5914408
    No - you've decided primarily on missles - and missles do move much faster than any method of transportation on your drones. At this rate, they wouldn't be able to catch up.

    Not good, i guess we will have to concentrate our missiles in as small an area as possible to reduce the amount AA that can be directed against them, of course the missiles must be spread out enough to reduce the risk of succumbing to area damage.

    Just what the optimal flight pattern is i will leave to sounder tactical minds.

    "Smoke screen" isn't so accurate. It's less of a gas and more of a liquid, so any smoke screen would remain for only a fraction of second.
    However, premature detonation of the decontaminant missles would eliminate any trace of the virus in the immediate area.

    Just how large is the Area of effect on the Viral Countermeasure?

    I guess we should airburst it if possible, and detonate as soon as we get the node well into the area of effect, Thus maximizing the cleared area and perhaps cutting the flighttime down with a few seconds.
    >> Anonymous 09/18/09(Fri)19:02 No.5914679
    Why don't we split the missles into two separate groups: a diversion group and a protection group (including the nano-virus killer nuke)

    The Diversionary group come in at an perpendicular angle to the ground. We should place some effective missiles in this group so the nanovirus believes we're being sincere.

    The Protection group comes in from a low angle, with loads of missles under the virus killer to protect it and loads of missiles around it to protect it.

    Sound good?

    Within 20 seconds of hitting optimal target, detonation is capable of removing the virus from a large area of the island, including the location of the brain bunker.
    Within 10 seconds of hitting the optimal target, the virus is cleansed from the island but there's a chance that within the hour, reinfection of the island could commence.

    Hitting the optimal target would eliminate a portion of the virus on the mainland as well - practically eliminating any chance of reinfection for at least a day, giving you all the time in the world to get the job done.

    One, you're underestimating the range of the virus.

    You know what? Fuck it. We won't be able to hit the optimal target.

    But we'll get damn close to it, at least.

    Have the rest of the missles protect the decontaminant and the virus killer. Virus killer's surrounded by decontaminants. As soon as the decontaminants begin to be infected, begin self-destruction, once every two seconds. From most infected to least infected. This should keep the virus killer protected.

    If virus killer gets over 50% between zero and twenty seconds to optimal target, premature detonation. It should have some effect, anyway.

    This is the best idea I could come up with.

    Hmm... inconvenient, well then here is my proposal, we join up all the missiles accelerate them to top speed, if the missiles are capable of such they perform evasive manuvers as they head toward the target, the Missile flight will be close but spaced apart widely enough to avoid the selfdestruct of another missile, the Viral counter measure will be placed slightl back and high up i n the swar allowing for other missiles to function as ablative armor for it.

    We detonate decontamination missiles at opportunity targets like AA or sensor clusters or when they are likely to blow up.

    You're about an hour and a half behind the missle barrage.

    If you prematurely detonate the virus killer more than ten seconds before impact, you'll have to uncover the bunker with your gamma guns before you can access it. There's a high risk of getting infected - but the virus will no longer be harmful if the brain is killed.
    If you prematurely detonate the virus killer between zero and ten seconds before impact, there will be virus on the island - but you probably won't be infected.
    If it impacts, you won't be infected and the operation will be virus-free.

    Idea: Have the missiles go up and up until they are almost out of fuel but can practically fall in a ballistic arc toward the optimum target. Also disable their self-destruct systems if you can.

    The virus can't alter their trajectory if the missiles are out of fuel and they can't blow them up if the self-destruct is out.

All others I'd place in a large "sphere" formation around the 30 decomtamination and the virus killer, and make sure the high explosive ones and thermobaric one are on outside of the sphere, so if they detonate they won't take out essential missiles around them.

    The missles pass into the exclusion zone. This time, the virus seems slightly better prepared, pores already formed and million of crows being spat out. This time, it's five seconds between entry and first impact.

    One by one, the warheads begin to blacken, their cameras fading into static as the virus takes over. As you request, they peel away one by one by one to detonate, slowly exposing the shield of decontaminants. By the time twenty seconds have passed since first impact, dozens of the distraction warheads have been taken out and the decontaminators are slowly being contaminated. One or two crows have even passed through to hit the virus killer purely by chance.

    You're an hour and a half from it. You can't even see it on the horizon.

    In order to open a window, your missles at the front detonate, one by one, the blast knocking back dozens of crows - out of the endless millions. The murder of avians becomes thicker and thicker as more of the swarm over your missles.

    Suddenly, like a pair of pincers, a group of crows suddenly curve around the main bulk, smashing into the missles at the back - the ones you were meant to be protecting, according the virus.

    The decontaminants begin to peel off and detonate, showering the rest with the corrosive material to try and eliminate the virus. Still after twenty seconds, there has been nothing but an increase of the presence of the virus on the virus killer. You're doing your best - but the countermeasure can only be so well protected.

    By the way I've got a plan to maybe survive this without TradeStar on our asses. Of course it's highly dependent on the nanovirus not winning, otherwise running is our bet option

    A plan for surviving after this ends.

    This relies on several things;
    1) The Ability to buy clones of ourselves from Lemmington
    2) The Ability to buy new identities from some other faction (My preference is the Martian Navy, but Uni-Peace might go for it (We have Joanna))
    3) Blowing up all our facilities in a single gigantic explosion when the Head of Hajjar affairs comes to collect the core
    4) Getting said Head actually into a facility
    5) Getting the fuck off this rock

    Now, the plan is as follows: We buy clones of ourselves, get some new identities, wait for the Head of Hajjar affairs to get here,then get him down to one of our facilities. After that, we need to remotely detonate all our shit in a pattern that looks enough like a concentrated attack, our clones in the base gives enough evidence that we died too. Then, we get Uni-Peace to take the credit.

    An hour and a half later, you arrive.

    The sight is incredible. A serene, completely still landscape, not a single living thing in sight, virus or otherwise. The island is pitch black. Everything is covered in a layer of the finest black sand imaginable, as smooth as silk and completely, unutterably dead.

    Small flakes of the virus rain from the heavens in the billions, dead and inanimate, unable to do any harm at all. Amidst the cold, still sandscape, you can see a shape, an unnaturally shape. A concrete bunker, the roof carrying the faded insignia of TradeStar. Your destination. The virus was never able to enter the bunker - but who knows what hidden TradeStar secrets remain.

    You had enough time during your brief stop at your base to gather anyone else who wants to come and any weapons you wanted.

    Currently, you have:
    18 Stealth Drones with Lasers and Gamma
    1 Samson 70 with Laser and Gamma in a stealth drone.
    1 Joanna with Laser and Gamma in a stealth suit.
    1 Irony with Laser and Gamma in a stealth suit.

    Plasma, what kind of explosives do we have?

    I'm pretty sure nothing specially made for humans, since we never planned on going into combat ourselves.

    But artillery shells and dynamite. Anything.

    Samson have any ideas on how to charge in? He's the combat guy and can have control over the infantry drones.
    >> Subcontractor Helus 09/18/09(Fri)21:32 No.5916371
    Give me a lightning gun and a laser. You know what- how many men do we need to form that firing squad?

    You have grenades in the same way you have artillery.
    I forgot the mention that.

    >> Subcontractor Archer 09/18/09(Fri)21:32 No.5916376
    Guys, I'm pretty sure Plasma isn't going to let us bring our combat drones in.

    Only us and our humanoid drones.

    It's time to do what we have to.
    >> Subcontractor Archer 09/18/09(Fri)21:34 No.5916390
    Official list for me.

    My stealth suit with Lightning gun and flamethrower. Some grenades. Hopefully some kind of satchel explosives.

    Very well - in case we need more than 2 people, I'll team with you two. If not, I need something to bore through heavy metal and the like - I'll take thermobaric grenades if possible and a laser gun.

    Is there a way we can carry a different weapon as a back up if one of us gets nailed - any circumstance the survivor will only need one

    Give me some HE gernades as well then. I can wear them around my belt, which I totally wear.

    Also, am I the only one who as always imagined us wearing some kind of Dead Space esquire armor suit?
    >> Subcontractor Archer 09/18/09(Fri)21:35 No.5916405
    >>5916375
    Do we want to bore into it? If we make a massive hole going in, the plague can follow right through.

    First we should try to hack in. If not possible, then we break our way through.

    Nothing stops us this time. Nothing.

    I'll only have the decontaminate grenades if it's assured we're safe in our armor, that is.

    Into the bunker, probably not. But outside of it? We've got things covered. The carrier's drones can handle pretty much any exterior defenses.

    Make sure to bring EMP weaponry.

    Who knows what kind of drones TS has down there. A super secret weapon's facility? That is gonna have top of the line shit.

    Yeah, make sure to have the drones we've got guard the bunker entrance the best they can.

    Most effective weaponry they've got.

    Also, guys. We've got a pretty varied array of high tech. Once we get off this planet, we can set up a very prestigious business of our own.

    Our carrier drones have THOUSANDS of flying combat drones on board. YES, THEY HAVE WEAPONS. Including -40- Superheavy Heat drones.
    >> Subcontractor Helus 09/18/09(Fri)21:44 No.5916493

    Yeah, let's do this.

    I'd like to keep the Heat Gun, even if we can get in without it, there might be some heavy shit or extra doors inside and the Heat Gun out to make short work of them.

    >>5916482
    Oh, and as I note that a kinetic shield is a superweapon, and thus larger than a single person can likely use on their own, I would like one or two of the humanoid stealth drones assigned to help me with it, or to have it mounted on a small vehicle, or similar. If this is terribly infeasible, that's unfortunate and it can be dropped.

    If it's a tank-sized weapon, we're gonna need like 10. I'm in the military--it's 3 people just for a mortar, 4 person team for a machine gun.
