I'm going to say B. Sharp-Strike needs more time to get the hang of things before we give him a really important job, since this is his first hunt and all.

B. We're not going to let Sharp-Strike get even close to the trigger of anything.

B
You peer behind the seat and ask Burning-Scythe to take the co-pilot's seat. You activate his seat's holo-visor and link it to the sensors and gunnery controls. He quickly runs his fingers over the controls in an experienced fashion.

You give the spaceport controller your clearance signal, and slowly raise the throttle and give the engines a slow burn. The Phantom Hammer hums to life, rise into the atmosphere.

You meet up with Steel-Arrow's ship, the "Void Light", in high orbit. You synchronize your foldspace engines and punch in the coordinates for the Night-Prowler rendezvous point. You engage the foldspace engines, and lean back as space warps around you.

It will take 5 days to reach your destination.

You must now decide how to spend it.

Do you:

A. Run Sharp-Strike through some training drills
B. Call Steel-Arrow's team and inform him about a possible Night-Prowler conspiracy
C. Take some time to plan your boarding action

>>24949292

>B. Call Steel-Arrow's team and inform him about a possible Night-Prowler conspiracy

>>24949292
>B. Call Steel-Arrow's team and inform him about a possible Night-Prowler conspiracy

We were told to tell them, so lets tell them. After that, C.

>>24949317
Wait wait wait, scratch that. I forgot they have a night prowler on their team. I switch my vote to C.

>>24949292
B, gotta warn them of potential back-stabbery.

>>24949326
But that Night-Prowler happens to have a massive throbbing hate-boner for Fleet Master Dickbag, who is the one we're warning them about.

Shit son, haven't you been paying attention at all?

>>24949343
Riight, sorry. It's late.

>>24949317
>>24949324

>>B. Call Steel-Arrow's team and inform him about a possible Night-Prowler conspiracy

You bid your two teammates to take a seat in the comm room and establish a link with Steel-Arrow.

He leans back in his seat and greets you. You give him the unpleasant news, and pass to him the dossier you and your mother compiled.

He clicks thoughtfully. "I'm not sure what to make of this. Have you spoken with anyone else about it? Or are we the only ones to know?"

Do you answer:

A. "I have told my matriarch and Jackal-of-Carrion. "
B. "Just us, for now."

>>24949387
A

>>24949387
I don't know if I trust him...
B

>>24949387
B

>>24949387
A, gotta be honest with stuff like this. Secrets are never good.

>>24949387
A

He's a bro and doesn't want shit blowing up in his face.

>>24949387
>B. "Just us, for now."

Its unlikely we have a leak. The odds of us having a leak are VERY low. However, on the outside chance we DO have a leak, we would look pretty retarded if our entire counter-conspiracy was blown wide open because we gave out information that wasn't really relevant in any way.

>>24949399
>>A.

"I have told my matriarch and Jackal-of-Carrion," you tell him.

Beside you, Burning-Scythe quickly raises his concerns. "Jackal is on the ship with him. If Night-Star is trying to pull something, then Jackal will be his first obstacle."

You answer:

A. "Jackal can take care of himself, don't worry. He knows what he's doing."
B. "Right. We should try to get him off that ship."
C. "He's there to keep an eye on Night-Star."

>>24949439
I already answered, but this.
I we want to team up against the Night-Prowlers later, we can let them know then.

>>24949467
>A. "Jackal can take care of himself, don't worry. He knows what he's doing."

>>24949485
>>A

"Jackal can take care of himself, don't worry. He knows what he's doing, you tell him." From the other ship, you hear Seeking-Eye speak.

"Well, we've got a Night-Prowler over here, sitting next to me. What's your take on this, Quick-Shadow? You're not going to shoot us in the back, are you?"

The Night-Prowler clicks in irritation. He flicks his fingers over the holo-screen and brings up a section of the dossier for everyone to see.

"Pale-Beast, hunter, my friend. Says here he lost his life and his ship to a solar storm. I've known Pale-Beast since we were younglings. He's the best pilot I know. He can thread a frigate through a star corona. This is a blatant lie."

Seeking-Eye presses the issue. "He's high up in your clan. Nobody gets that high without a lot of friends. You'll need to take a side, Quick-Shadow. I need to know where your loyalties lie."

Quick-Shadow is silent.

Do you:

A. Press the question and get an answer out of Quick-Shadow
B. Ask Seeking-Eye to yield some space.

>>24949572
B

>>24949467
Tough one
B
He can contact us if SHTF right?

"Don't worry" what are we, skin walkers?

>>24949572
B

>>24949598

>>24949572
>B. Ask Seeking-Eye to yield some space.

"Generally, one does not support someone who was directly responsible for stranding you on a hostile planet for the better part of a decade. In light of that, I trust Quick-Shadow."

>>24949485
When a creature has made his job 'kill thing's' ever since his youth and has survived into old age and continued to do his job of 'kill things', chances are he's pretty fuckin good at killing things.

>>24949572
B, don't wanna press Quick-Shadow too hard.

>>24949572
B

Don't want to distance him by asking 1000 questions, so far he's shown to be leaning against his clan.

>>24949572
B.

Let's give him some time to sort out his thoughts....away from any communication device.

>>24949572
B Mind.

>>24949572
>B. Ask Seeking-Eye to yield some space.

Quick-Shadow has been screwed by this guy before. And apparently, so have his friends. We can trust him.

>>24949584
>>B. Ask Seeking-Eye to yield some space.

"Calm, friend," you tell Seeking-Eye, "we're all in this together."

Quick-Shadow is silent for a moment. After a long time, he speaks up. "I don't know whose side I'm on, but I'm not on his."

Quick-Shadow turns to each of you in turn. "He left me for dead. He took my ship. He may have killed my friend. But this isn't about vengeance. I will deal with it, on my terms. Now, we finish the mission. If he gets in the way, we'll deal with it."

Seeking-Eye seems unconvinced.

Do you:

A. Back up Quick-Shadow and support him.
B. Demand he give a vow of honor to commit himself to the team.

>>24949693
A, he has every reason to be on our side, let's not push him away.

>>24949715
>>A. Back up Quick-Shadow and support him.

"We're a team. Quick-Shadow's made it clear he's with us. I trust him."

"I do, too," Steel-Arrow agrees.

Seeking-Eye clicks slowly. "Then I do too," he says at last.

Quick Shadow clicks thoughtfully. "I need to inform my Matriarch. She needs to know about this. Night-Star is a danger to the clan."

Do you:

A. Ask him if he really thinks that's a good idea.
B. Tell him it's his decision to make.
C. Tell him you can't let him do that. His Matriarch may very well be part of it.

>>24949791

You ask him to reconsider. "We don't know how high his rapport within the clan goes, Quick-Shadow. Let's keep this within the team for now."

He thinks abou this for a moment, and reluctantly agrees.

"I trust my Matriarch," he tells you. "But given the mission, it's not likely she can give us any help. Very well; we'll keep this among ourselves for now."

The team is silent for a while, but Burning-Scythe breaks the ice with some small talk.

You spend some time discussing the mission. Afterwards, you break for some rest.

How do you wish to spend the rest of the time:

A. Run through the ship controls with Sharp-Strike
B. Take some time to study the mission and human ships
C. Take some time to teach Sharp-Strike in combat techniques.

>>24949936

You take some time to give a few flying and gunnery lessons to Sharp-Strike. He tackles the lessons with enthusiasm. You show him the gunnery and sensor controls and give him quite a few lessons how to properly handle a ship.

Through it all, Burning-Scythe in chimes with a few techniques of his own. Through this, you inadvertantly find Burning-Scythe to be a very experienced pilot.

Time passes quickly, and soon, you are half way there. You are 3 days away from the rendezvou point. Sharp-Strike seems to have grasped the basic controls of the ship.

Do you:

A. Spend some time teaching Sharp-Strike close-combat tactics
B. Spend some time tutoring him in ranged tactics
C. Spend some time briefing him on how to take down synthetics and humans.

>>24950049
C

>>24950049

>>24950049

>>24950049
All of the C.

>>24950049

Since we'll most likely be fighting against humans a lot during this mission.

>mission and human ships next right?

>>24950086
>>24950086
>>C

You share with him the compiled list of data you've gathered against humans and synthetics. Together, along with Burning-Scythe, you discuss with him your experiences when fighting against these opponents.

You walk him through a few techniques and take some time to spar with him.

After a few long and grueling sessions, you feel confident Sharp-Strike has become more familiar with human opponents.

Time passes, and at last, you arrive at the rendezvou point.

You bring your ship to the exit point and synchronize the drop with Steel-Arrow. Together, you collapse the fieldspace and exit FTL.

You find the Night-Prowler fleet waiting for you. At their head is the Shadow-Beast, the 2 kilometer plus flashship of the Night-Rrowler fleet. She is accompanied by two escort frigates.

The Shadow-Beast hails you, and Night-Star's cameo appears on your comm.

"Time is short. We have had a slight miscalculation. The human fleet will be here far sooner than expected. We have, perhaps, 2 hours. Go quickly and prepare."

Do you:

A. Ask for a meeting to discuss the plans before hand.
B. Ask to speak to your mentor.
C. Agree, and raise your mentor on a private set of comms.

>>24950238
We got no time for this, need to deploy the mines.

>>24950238
>C. Agree, and raise your mentor on a private set of comms.

"Miscalculation", of course. Why wouldn't there be a miscalculation?

Lets play it cool and verify with our mentor whether this was ACTUALLY a mistake, or if he's screwing with us.

>>24950238
C. Agree, and raise your mentor on a private set of comms.

C. and prepare the mines for deployment.

Can we have A and C?
If not just C

>>24950270
>>C. Agree, and raise your mentor on a private set of comms.

You acknowledge, and inform the Night-Prowler you'll begin preparations immeidately. You close off the comms and raise your Mentor on the private line.

"There was no calculation to begin with," he tells you. "I was under the impression the Night-Prowlers already have presence here, but they don't. We jumped in, traced the incoming signal, and found it to be a hair breadth away."

He glances around him. "Also, the actual size of the inbound fleet is larger than what he told us at the initial meeting. In addition to the two frigates and destroyers, they'll also have a battlecruiser with them, with a small fighter escort. It's not safe for me to talk here. Watch yourself."

With that, the comm ends.

You inform Steel-Arrow, who curses bitterly.

Do you:

A. Begin laying mines.
B. Stealth and retreat to a safe perimeter.
C. Raise Night-Star and demand some answers.

>>24950477
A, we do our best to survive against the humans. Night-Star won't move against us until the destroyer has been captured.

>>24950477
>A. Begin laying mines.

I'm pretty sure our guns can blow up frigates - We probably want to capture the battlecruiser

I say we drift about, maybe plant a mine, look like we're doing something. Then stealth when the fleet arrives. Hopefully night Star takes the brunt of the attack.
I don't really know human sensor ability though.
If I had to pick, B.
We can always return for sneaky nuke attacks right?

>>24950477
>A. Begin laying mines.

The situation is already fucked. Bitching Night-Star out won't change that, so lets just buckle down and kick some ass.

>>24950477

I still don't think Night Star is pulling anything here, he was insistent on going after the less heavily guarded civilian convoy.

A, prepare for battle.

>>24950554
>Night-Star won't notice us slip away pre-battle..
Scratch the nuke, I meant disruptor/ boarding.
If it's too much to handle we'll just stealth-away mid battle right?

>>24950525
>A

You check your munitions, and ready your four mines. Beside you, Steel-Arrow informs you his four mines are ready as well.

You see the Night-Prowler's fleet disappear from the visual spectrum. They have entered stealth mode. However, you notice a new beacon being broadcasted from the shadow of where the flagship used to be. You recognize it as your mentor's signal.

Steel-Arrow asks you what pattern you should use for deploying the mines.

Do you answer:

A. Spread them out - try to catch the entire fleet as they come in.
B. Concentrate them in a delta pattern. Try to cripple the lead ship.

>>24950477

>>24950654

>"However, you notice a new beacon being broadcasted from the shadow of where the flagship used to be. You recognize it as your mentor's signal."

Hmm? Does our mentor have his own ship? Is that his personal signal; would that imply he got thrown off?

>>24950688
>>A

You suggest deploying the mines in a wide spread, to catch the entire fleet when they jump in. Steel-Arrow agrees.

Together, your two ships circle the expected jump point and place the mines in a wide arc, to catch the Weyland ships.

You have a few moments before they arrive.

You notice the Night-Prowler flagship slowly pulling away.

Do you:

A. Engage stealth and pull back as well.
B. Engage stealth and prepare to take the enemy fleet head on.

>>24950740
A, even if it gives them more time to cry for help, we cannot engage an entire battle group AND risk being caught in a crossfire.

>>24950740
A, definitetly

>>24950740
A. Engage stealth and pull back as well.
>>24950766
Agreed

A.

Can we get behind them perhaps? That would put us in the best position to disrupt all of their engines and since we would be on the opposite side as the Night Prowlers that would protect us from shenanigans.

>>24950740

Is there any chance we could catch the enemy off guard by deploying behind them?

When they blunder into the mines, we use our guns to (attempt) to immediately blow up some of the other ships.

>>24950785

You engage stealth and withdraw. The inbound jump signal is getting stronger by the minute.

Beside you, in the co-pilot seat, Burning-Scythe calculates and informs you the inbound vector.

"Straight towards the Night-Prowlers," he barks.

You prepare to get into position.

Do you:

A. Stop your ship and remain stealthed in the distance.
B. Begin your approach and line yourselves up behind the human fleet.
C. Begin your approach and place yourself between the Night-Prowlers and the incoming fleet.

>>24950865
B

>>24950865

>>24950865
B. Begin your approach and line yourselves up behind the human fleet.

>>24950865
A. the night-prowlers can do the majority of the work because they brought bigger ships

and i want to be ready if admiral douche does something douchy

>>24950865
B.
We should probably get the Disruptor Torpedoes ready.

>>24950865
B
if we line up behind them, the emissions could further mask our presence and give us the jump on them

>>24950865
B

>>24950865
>B. Begin your approach and line yourselves up behind the human fleet.

Excellent positioning for a pincer attack, and being in their rear arc will give us plenty of time to turn tail and book it if Admiral Night-Dick decides to fuck us over somehow.

>>24950865
>B. Begin your approach and line yourselves up behind the human fleet.

It's lightning raid time, hit them hard and fast

>>24950865
B

>>24950898
>>B

You coordinate your movement with Steel-Arrow, and the two of you begin your approach into position behind the impending fleet.

Burning-Scythe begins to count down the seconds before the inbound jump. As he reaches zero, a brilliant flash fills the space around you and several ships snap into existence before you.

Chaos ensues.

One of the Weyland frigates jumped right on top of one of the mines, and the resulting explosion violently breaks it in two.

An escort destroyer takes two mines head on, and disappears in a brilliant plasma fireball.

The second destroyer desperately banks to the side, and narrowly dodges an incoming mine.

A few seconds later, a large, 2 kilometer long battle-cruiser bearing the Weyland logo enters the fray. It belches forth thousands of tracers as its point defences activate, and the remaing mines are shot down.

Its hangar doors open and dozens of smaller, agile fighters pour forth, each firing concentrated sensor beacons at the space around it. Several head in your direction.

The remaining frigate and destroyer quickly resume formation around the large battlecruiser.

Do you:

A. Stay stealthed and observe.
B. Raise the Night-Prowlers and ask them to commence the attack.
C. Launch disruptor torpedoes at the battlecruiser (DC: Medium)
D. Decloak and fire your main cannons at the battlecruiser. (DC: Medium-Easy)

That's a tough call. But I think we should just pause an observe. If we attack first they will focus everything on us.

>>24951072
>A. Stay stealthed and observe.

"What's the plan?" Steel-Arrow asks you.

"Remain stealthed. Observe."

You pur your engines to a slow revserse and begin to drift away.

The human fleet desperately attempts to control the damage and get their bearing in order.

There appears to be no response from the Night-Prowlers. Their flagship continues to quitely pull away.

You see several fighters begin to sweep in your direction.

Do you:

A. Raise the Night-Prowlers and demand they open fire.
B. Remain in stealth and avoid the fighters' detection beams. (Medium-Hard)

Whyyy do you dooo this.

I assume all of these actions are taking up mere seconds in realtime, so I pick A. WTF is the fleet doing.

>>24951179
>>A. Raise the Night-Prowlers and demand they open fire.

You open the fleet channels and demand the Night-Prowlers to attack.

"And what?" Night-Star responds calmly, "destroy them? No. Your mission is to capture that battle-cruiser, now do your duty. Do not contact me again until this is done."

With that, he closes the comms. Further attempts yield no results. By this time, his ship has pulled far away from the field of battle.

You find yourselves alone.

Do you:

A. Remain in stealth and avoid the fighters' detection beams. (Medium-Hard)
B. Drop stealth and shoot the nearest fighters down (Easy)
C. Drop stealth and open fire on the human fleet (Medium)

>>C. Drop stealth and open fire on the human fleet (Critical failure)

You synchronize your targets with Steel-Arrow and commence attacking.

You line up your target, drop out of stealth, and let loose both your main cannons. Two white-hot plasma bolts belch forth from your massive cannons, racing towards the battlecruiser.

One of the bolts slam straight into a passing fighter and swallow it in its brilliance, and continues. The battle-cruiser, however, whether through luck or skill, burns its manuever thrusters at the same time as you pulled your trigger, and narrowly dodges th blasts.

The two plasma bolts scrape past the spine of the cruiser and disappear into deep space.

Suddenly, warnings flare all around you, and you find yourself pelted by autocannon fire. The fleet releases a large swarm of missiles, and head towards you.

You suddenly spot a brilliant flash from the muzzles of the cruiser's twin railgun turrets, and quickly bank, but the slugs are simply too fast.

They slam into your belly, and your ablative armors explode outwards from the impact. You feel your ship snap upwards violently.

Your stealth systems are temporarily down. Burning-Scythe informs you he'll try to get them back ASAP.

A flight of fighters and missiles close in on you.

Do you:

A. Throttle forward and spray them down with your gatling cannon.(DC: Medium-hard)
B. Turn around and try to shoot them down with your point defenses. (DC: Medium)

>>24951457

>>24951471
Historically, it has been 12. That doesn't mean it will ALWAYS be exactly 12, but around there. So we most likely narrowly failed.

>>24951504
I intend to in the future. But it is too late for me now, for I have already rolled and failed.

>>24951425
B. Turn around and try to shoot them down with your point defenses. (Fail, vs. DC 12)

You bank your ship sharply and flee from the inbound missiles. you engage your tracking systems and pour forth a wall of plasma bolts.

You manage to take down a large number, but there are simply too many.

Three of them slam sharply into your rear armor, one after the next. The first two shatter your ablative armor while the third detonates violently against the crystalline armor underneath.

You suddenly lose control of your ship as spalling crystal shards smash into your ship's left turbine. Warning lights flare as your thrusters go wild attempting to balance the craft.

Burning-Scythe slams down his visor and yells for Sharp-Strike to take the co-pilot's seat.

"Keep her steady!" he barks at you.

You glance at your sensors and note dozens of more missiles scream closer to impact.

You prepare for the worst.

Suddenly, a black shadow streaks behind you and the missiles explode sequencially. Steel-Arrow's voice booms over the comms.

"Got your back, but this is a mess. We need to kill those fights. One of us needs to hold their attention."

Do you tell him:

A. "They're already chasing me. I'll lead them away from the fleet. Get behind me and take them down."
B. "I'm hit. You need to get their attention and draw them across my firing arc."

>>24951508

We need to get them taken care of ASAP so we can tag them with a disruption torp.

>>24951558

Unless
>>24951571

>>24951558
A. The last thing we should do right now (and the last thing we'd ever do) is sit around waiting for Steel-Arrow to lead the fighters in front of us.

But rather than leading them *away* from the fleet, we should dive in close to the biggest enemy ship.

>>B.

"I'm hit. You need to get their attention and draw them across my firing arc," you respond on the comms.

"Right," Steel-Arrow responds curtly. You struggle to keep the ship in balance as Steel-Arrow's ship begin to open fire on the fighters.

He criss-crosses to and fro in front of your pursuers, and soon, several fighters break off to persue him.

You hear Burning-Scythe's voice behind you. "Damage under control. She's a tough ship, this one."

You notice the left turbine re-engage and suddenly feel control returning to your thrusters.

You hear Steel-Arrow's voice over the comms. "I'll be crossing your glacis in 10 seconds. Get ready."

You glance at Sharp-Strike, who grips the gunnery controls intensely.

Do you:

A. Take the gunnery controls for yourself (DC: Medium)
B. Let Sharp-Strike to take the shot while you focus on flying. (DC: Medium)

Do you suppose we can have our ship fixed after the battle?

>>24951740
I think Sharp-Strike's aim is only bad because he can't stand still, so his aim should okay if he is using a ship gun

>>24951778
This is only phase 1 of the mission, we need to get the WY ship then use it against other humans. THEN we can go home for a quick repair.

>>A. Take the gunnery controls for yourself (Critical Success!)

You quickly slave the firing controls to your holo-visor and ready the gatling cannons.

You wait until Steel-Arrow's ship streaks across your bow, and depress the trigger.

The cannon roars to life with a sharp and throaty growl. The entire ship trembles as cannons loose hundreds of rounds in a fraction of a second.

A brilliant green hose extends from the nose of your ship and sprays the human fighters as they cross its arc of fire.

You methodcially line up your visor with each target, and watch as they become shredded by the cannon's awesome firepower. A moment later, the last human fighter distintegrates under fire, and you at last release the cannon trigger.

"Good shooting!" you hear Steel-Arrow compliment you. "We have the advantage now. We need to counterattack, before they regroup."

Do you:

A. Suggest you turn and make an attack run on the battle-cruiser.
B. Suggest you try to eliminte the frigate and destroyer first.

Definitely B, the big ship is relying on them to cover it's blind spots.

Also given the fleet commander's history he will almost certainly attempt to steal our ships and or steal the credit for this operation, so we need to watch out for that.

>>24951825

>>24951806
Do disruptor missiles just stop them from using their equivalent of foldspace, or is it like an EMP that totally shuts them down?

If emp, disrupt the battleship while steel arrow does B, otherwise just B

>>24951806
>B. Suggest you try to eliminte the frigate and destroyer first.
simply because our only support we can count on is Steel-Arrow, and we dont want to be in the damn thing when they decide the cruiser isnt worth the effort and destroy us

>>24951848
>This is a game, just chill.
YOU THINK THREE-CLAWS LIFE IS A GAME?

"Let's eliminate the escorts," you respond, as you bank the ship around.

"My thoughts exactly. Which one do you want?"

Do you:

A. Tell him you'll take the more heavily armed frigate.
B. Tell him you'll take the more agile destroyer.
C. Suggest you both go after the frigate.
D. Suggest you both go after the destroyer.

>>24951878
>>24951883
when we have control of the ship, we should invite him over to have a look at it, then when the airlock opens and he walks through PLASMA TO THE FACE

>>24951885
>D. Suggest you both go after the destroyer.

Yes, but it seems like that's never stopped him before. We don't know how he actually does it, but it's clear that he's been pulling shenanigans for a while now.

>>24951835
Dice rolling is linked to post timestamps, they don't come from a limited pool or anything so it's impossible to "waste" good rolls.

"Bring down the destroyer," you respond, "I'll take the frigate."

"Right," he tells you. "Watch the point defenses."

You turn your ship around and head straight for the frigate. Its turrets turn towards you in response, as it slowly manuevers to show you its broadside.

You're still too far to reliably hit with your plasma cannons. Do you:

A. Launch the large and heavy fission torpedo at it (DC: Easy)
B. Gun your engines and close the range.
C. Launch a disruptor torpedo at it. (DC: Medium)
