The First drop team will descend via ravine that leads to the colony's solar garden. The pelican will then remain in the sky until called. For this mission we will be aiming to retake this area, as a first step to finding this vaunted relic.

There is a fabricator East from the drop position that will let you beam the others in.

Report in. We will begin the drop once a forward team has been formed.

Codex updated.
-EVDV treatments applied to Errants.
-Sweepers added.
- New Grenade researched: "Balkalite Grenades"

" These grenades may be necessary in a conflict regarding bugs. They excel at sealing passages or creating an x shaped cover in case you are exposed in an open field. It's not as intricately designed as barricades but its utility in sealing the enemy, covering tunnels and even blockading doors is paramount in the high likelihood xenoform swarms will start flowing.

The Adept begins another spout of coughing before continuing.

“Mate, your kind suggestion I don’t walk into napalm is taken”

Check suit. Check seals. Adjust gloves. Check weapon. Adjust gloves. The gloves always irritate.

“ Last time, Swansong about decorped the entire command section. By accident. Mines have a proxy trigger, so when you fire them, you don’t scatter-det your own side if your target’s already down.”

Check weapon. Adjust gloves. Done this before, a series of precise movements.

“ So again: tell people nearby when you wave your omni around. Otherwise “

Check weapon. Check ammo load. Find bullet.

Put bullet on table. Nod. Smile. Adjust gloves.

This is Colony Pascal. What you are hearing is a pre-recorded message.

To the members of the ODF who has finally come to contact us. If in the event we have fail to speak your language you are instructed to destroy all colonists, data, and instruments used in this facility. If you are a civilian, you must flee. Bring nothing of this planet with you, not even the air or any biological samples.

What you are seeing before you is the final stages of xenomorph transmogrification on my person, though the Exalted Directive is weak, it is still built in the xenoform genome as some k ind of Maker's Mark.

The warping on the individual is horrifying to say the least, many have torn out their memory chips in order to stave off the mania that came with having human thoughts and emotions. In so doing, they're rate of mutation accelerated unabated, others still mutated in unpredictable ways. Ways that no longer warrant observation or analysis as far as their utility to mankind goes, the damage by Jack has been done. However for the sake of posterity I have kept mines on up until the final moments. I may no longer be --

The feed has been prematurely cut. Aux-Comm no longer senses their memory chip. That message was dated at more than 155 years ago... "

Enemy Phase.
Movement has been detected around the colony. Tectonic activity is detected outside of the colony, it would seem the xenoforms we are fighting against are searching for this place.

War Head Valerian: All knights, we are now engaging Xenoform forces in orbit. Though they are harmless spores in orbit they will rain solid numbers on any crash site. Orbital , we place our trust in your ships in repelling them.

Orbital Command: Understood, Grand Master. The spores seem to be the effects of downwind proliferation from other systems. That they have chosen this time to show is no coincidence, xenoforms are suspected of being tacticallly minded, even parsecs apart.

Diagona: Fire enough arrows and one strikes a gorgon's eye, Orbital. You give these pests too much credit.

Orbital COmmand: They have annihilated 76% of humanity, ending their golden age of expansion. COmmand must treat this enemy as if they are capable of intelligence in order to combat them cautiously.

Evo_D: Knight Command come in - I nearly forgot to mention it but I've uploaded nanomachine instructions for your Drones in order to access the PSIComm network on the colony.

=On PSIComm Warfare=

You may notice some hexes around your HUD , those are nodes. Each node contains a number - those are Qbits. Qbits are essentially autonomous packets that inhabit psicomm ! Best part is that they mimic thought patterns. Think of your brain as its own node and you mostly get the idea. It's also how PSIComm keeps us connected and fighting as one. Of course you're among the first generations to be implanted with it so its easy to take it for granted.

Anyways, to access a node you need only find a physical port to interface with, sometimes a wire is enough other times it can be done remotely through another machine or accessed through ainsible. Normally TAs or ORbital takes care of this part of the job, but I'm told we don't want to risk infection.

Once interfaced, your node is connected, On your turn you may:

-Freely Transfer any amount of Qbits your network controls to other cells you control. You can also transfer Qbits to empty networks that offer no resistance, or neutral networks that have been isolated from third parties like SECCOM.

- Open and close connections to other nodes. This is possible if you're controlling a node that exists in the same network as other nodes. Matching letters typically indicate this but nothing stops an A network from connecting to Z through a laser bypass or even an audio wave. You can also create physical bridges between two machines using simple nerve wires and the like.

> ACT: Attacking a hostile network.
Say you have Qbits in different networks. In order to launch an assault on another third party network, you would need Qbits that are on neighboring nodes to commit their number to a Hostile network. You would need Qbits equal to or greater than the target number to "defeat it" but there's a lot of caveats depending on how much you send:

Double Than: This clean sweep takes over the node. The Defending Qbits are also added to the network as part of yours. This is the favorable outcome.

Greater Than: You Invade the network, but the only Qbits remaining are the ones you used.

Equal To: You cause a Voidout, this can be used even during redistribution action , when this occurs Qbits oppose each other until there is zero, causing the node to be Neutral.

Less Than: You subtract the Node's value by the amount you send. , this can be used even during redistribution action

This ends your turn.

" Did, Did I miss anything ? "

" We're getting shot by the automated systems."
" Oh... "

Act Phase: PSIComm has granted us 8 Hours. Any details regarding ..... these Nodes will be forwarded to your Master Squire, here.

Evo_D: M-Master Squire ?? I- Is that a rank !? I get a Hyperian Rank !?

Diagona: Stoicism is the armor of the heart, young one. Wear it.

Evo_D: Y-Yes Ma'am !

This area is clear. I see a large orange door directly of the dropship. Jupiter is also standing in a door

Jobber, Waterloo, if you make your way south to the orange door you can soon breach it. Interface with that blue uplink if you can.

Baker if you come to me and Jupiter in this AI Comm Room, you can reload and Jupiter can push into the area SW of here through the door they’re standing in.

Then we all meet in the middle and flank stuff out to get us.

You need to get the damn drone over, they handle the quantum processing, or just plug your own shit into it and then you direct the Qubits about... we have 50 qubits in our network currently, I'd suggest that you use them to take over the blue network by jacking in at the wired access point 5NW of my corpse. Probably under the mushroom. Attack one node with 40, then the other node in that small network, that should grab us 90 total... then we need to find a way to steal some more from another network and grab that 50, bringing us to 150.

Since I assume we don't own the 100qubits from the solar collector, as nice that would be.
>>
>>3961174
I'll point out that you need to move FAST with this. If you can get two people to Jack in and operate on this since it'll be turn ending that'd be best because they can absolutely obliterate us. They have the connection open to that blue to their 100 pale yellow. We have to close that.

So you want to slam 50 home into that port, then close the connection entirely to prevent them from using it. Then use your 60 to take the remaining 20 and take control over the whole thing. Worst case? If there's a link between that 20 and the 50, they'll be able to neutralize our qubits and then we can take control straight up just from having hardware access.

Where do you see the 50? The Ai-comm?

I think we can onboard the solar panel and then blow through Sec-comm. That'd give us something.
>>
>>3961324
I think the Solarpanel is ALREADY under their control.

It's why I suggest you move the full 50 from our new solar panel over into the north most 20 node, and then CLOSE the connection to the 100 node that is connected to the solarpanel that was fully functional when we got here. It's the same color as the 50 on the AI-Comm. If they bring the full 150 to bear against us in one go then we've got no where to go.

So move in to the point under the mushroom, 5NW from my old corpse, jack in, smash the northern blue 20 node that connects to the northernmost 100 mode, using the 50 from our repaired solar panel. That'll take control of their 20 qubits, giving us 70, then close the connection between the blue node and the pale yellow 100 node, and that'll be your turn.

It's the only way to be sure. If you don't do that, then we risk losing everything and leaving them in control entirely of the network. This way, worst case scenario, the security node turns neutral when they suicide their 70 qubits in the network into our 70 in the northern security node.

Enemy Phase. The Sentry systems in the area have been neutralized. If possible the undestroyed ones can be repaired with remote drone controls using a mule.

Evo_D: That's my queue ! Uploading now.
> Sentry Overwrite Schematic learned.

" Evo_D: If you find any colony sentry turrets that you'd like to restore use a mule's fabricator to repair the undestroyed ones "

" Unfortunately since we dont know how they are built, reconstructing destroyed turrets would be a waste of supply "

You can however use their power housing to make a drone docking station among other things.

Bones: Performing on site biopsy, please cover me...

Knight Command: Trigger Guard, once you have secured the network, isolate the connection from secc-com and activate that power switch there. That node seems to be the first of the power lines of a possible 3.

Act Phase. The proto Colonists. Have uplinked more of the sentry systems. There might be more of them than initially believed.

Orbital: Xenoform activity is closing in...

Bones: It's just as the recording says, they've gone through some mutation but a closer look at their genome puts them well within range of what the FOF systems here consider a "colonist or otherwise "

Diagona: Or Otherwise ?

Bones: Call it a guess, but I think this place housed more than humans.

Durandal: So what Valerian said was true.

Diagona: ??

Durandal: During man's golden age of expansion, it was possible for humans to interact with other races, at one point we even co-existed. Now that the Exalted formed the Concordance, our allies were either sublimated or were wiped off the cluster. But they may still be out there or all smeared like a paste by Xenoform hives. Hyperia survived on its own through strength alone, but it won't be enough. Well that's enough from this old man. Thanks for listening to my SCI_Talk.

Analyzing new information.
It seems autonomous machines are roaming the grounds, it is assumed they will be under the same security protocols as the sentry units.

Now that we control one of the power supplies, the colony might try to retake it.

We have detected a large tectonic shock from the supply explosion. It is advised that detonations be controlled lest unintended cell blocks experience a cave-in.

Another Pre recorded message has been recieved:
???: You have activated the main power. If you are lucky. Nothing will happen, and the autonomous systems nor the colony will tolerate your commands. But clearly... you are not.

What we've kept locked away in the depths of this colony is something that should not be reached by xenoforms or humans who are ignorant of their threat. If this is the ODF - if there is still the ODF, I can only say this to you:

" We have made the king of serpents 13 of them 3 remain. Both have been given the apple and only one does hope remain, while the other will life refrain. The third was taken as Nephilim for the gods only to be seen at the brightest eclipse and darkest day."

Orbital Command: ... The Transmission seems to have hinted at a xenoform experiment. The remaining details have been sent to central command in the Silver Line.

It's possible that due to the latency of the broadcast that these events have already come to pass on the front lines. Retroactive investigation is warranted but not necessary.

We are picking up FOF signals from the inert Interceptor. The active life support seems to have stayed on due to a surfeit of solar rays.

Durandal: The distances between stars is inestimable, so much so that light takes centuries to reach other places. Though ainsibles are instantaneous through entanglement, that gap can be closed through limited means and unfortunately this doesn't apply to the navies in the Silver Line who have only experienced the war in decades while thousands of years have passed here and caught up to them, similarly it's not unusual for us Hyperians to meet young recruits printed from a technological era decades or even a century ahead from hyperia's own, we are beginning to see how humanity has coped in the thousand years of isolation since the Exalted Purge.

And how the ODF has handled it and itself during that time.
It's natural, indeed too natural, for them to arrive too late on every SOS call...

3 of 13...

Bones: You've been muttering that for a while now, Evo_D any of this ring any bells ?

Evo_D: Ah ! N-No I wasn't I mean - the number 3 of 13. It could refer to the drop out rate in the Overlord program.

Diagona: THE What ?

Evo_D: It's it's a rumor but somewhere on the frontline they were devloping a psionics program to control the Xenoforms, it's been tested to work but the plan was scrapped due to how vanishingly effecient it was to mass produce. And also the lines it would take to cross to even accomplish. That is, if you had 13 candidates in a program only about 3 would survive it. The other 10 ? Well...

Diagona: I see.

Orbital Command: The existence of psionics has been prominent on the frontlines, but existed within a small margin of the populace. To date, replicating its conditions is a matter of high secrecy along with FTL travel. The Overlord Program was privately researched and was then scrapped due to its obvious dangers.

There are wires at your feet. The yellow ones. They connect to the sentry turrets. If you unplug them from the dead console and plug them into {A2}, you'll be in control of the A2 node and their attached sentry guns.

ODF Hyperia. You are to stand down and deactivate your biological units. This facility was condemned as per Code 6 of the emergency biome protocols. All life is to be contained, or it is to be extinguished for the greater safety of humanity.

Diagona: Absurd, a machine that's rationalized taking a life. Orbital, explain this treachery !

Orbital command: SECCOM seems to be acting on information that cannot be accessed or shared, opting instead to use force to override points of argument. We have proposed the concept of mutual compromise in the face of the xenoform threat but their stance remains the same and they are convinced they can repel any and all forms of external threat.

Diagona: If we can charge through then we'll be the ones in the right. In that case , nothing short of complete domination will suffice here !

PLEASE DO NOT HARM THE TURRETS. WE NEED THEM LATER.

>>3967234
It's one of them there subtly fluctuating ideas. These here half walls between places? That should do it.

>>3967315
Please communicate how you intend to go about node actions that influence the entire teams collected distribution of resources. This move means that the HOSTILE interceptor can now, if it would like to, take over our entire network. I need you to say what you intend to do and communicate about how you will do it so that the hostile machine intelligence don't kill us. We have plenty of time. We can find solutions. There is no reason to rush things. I am not an expert but I posted dead-last repeatedly when doing node actions because it really matters.

When you want to move things around or attacks, have a look at the links first.

It is a free action to disconnect links in nodes you control, which can be quite useful. In this case, it would have been prudent to disconnect the wireless to the corrupted drone so that our 1 qbit aucomm is not in direct contact with a 44qbit hostile interceptor with no resource backup. That interceptor can take over Au and Ai comms, and it would mean they control our entire network. Alternatively, it can take over the doors and shut is in here with all these robots. Please. I don't want to be shut in here with all these robots.

Secondly, when you have physical access to a node, you are able to influence it. Asset Jobber is standing in front of the console. He can turn it off. You don't need to spend qbits to actively engage with captured enemy material, you press a switch.

Thirdly, that {Pass} node is connected to the console that controls the turrets. You could take an action to use the Passkey to control the console.

If if I am being harsh, note that it is a free redistribute action to move qbits into a node to cancel it out and void it out. If you leave 40 in a node connected to 44 enemy, the 44 enemy can void out B2 and B1 then capture P1. They can also void out B1, B2, captured B1 and B2 + Aicomm, then disconnect from P1. And then they crush by closing the heavy blast doors.

further, little prevents D1 from connecting to c2 which is connected to A2 which would mean that now with 90 qbits there, it is a single redistribution movement from D1 and E1 to void out our entire qbit capacity.

You are engaged in nodespace warfare against a HOSTILE MACHINE INTELLIGENCE. They're going to eat you alive if you don't play it safe.
>>
>>3967397
My goals are as follows:
>1) Take over the easy to grab qubits, clean out this area of the network, which is disconnected from the other security network.
>2) Use those resources to counter act the 44 virus entirely, absorbing it.

The interceptor could have easily launched an assault last turn. It did not. My guess is that it's defensive ICE primarily, NOT trying to take over new systems. That means the internal security AI takes priority in neutralization.

Unfortunately in underground colonies like this one, AS bombardment will be ineffective, that's why portable Zion , Anion payloads are outfitted with your CO key. The theoretical explosive mass of a perpetual Inverted Cryo Thermic Loop is enough to wipe out a Queen's Den and, in cases of a Colony, Kill any non-space ready personnel within even if the explosion doesn't kill them directly. Digital systems will also go Black, and even the duramateriale around the facility will become brittle burnt ice. I bid you read the instructions on the back for further details.

Sender: It does, ODF suits hold up pretty well after 10,000 years. Same for this ship but with all the biomatter in the area its probable that some hardshroom grew in the engine, something I can fix within [3 minutes, less if I have help] In the meanwhile I'll convince the navigation system to help out against that Bastard SECCOM.

PostScript: That won't be necessary, Sender I have communicated with Orbital Command, it would seem we've been asleep for nearly a thousand years. War has progressed passed the silver line this cluster fell while we were asleep and was retaken on your awakening. With the discoveries we made here we may truly have a chance at turning the tide.

Sender: That's Great ! What about- What about Eden ?

PostScript: Surprisingly, Orbital claims that this name we referred to with such familiarity is now locked behind level 8 classification. I predict Eden to be in Central Command.

However there is another matter, diagnostics show that this ship is infested with hardshroom growth repair will be impossible. Furthermore, Seccom is still controlling the network at the detriment of the ODF effort to get to the ARC. I propose then, that you board the ship without my blackbox whilst I take over the network.

Sender: Sender, how are you talking like that. You're using words like I and me.

Post Script: this flux is nearly a millennia in age. Orbital informs me that Eden is only slightly older, a- - - - - and there is now a manufacturing law in effect to impose a life span for AIs. You have my memory chip. The only difference between this black box and that is a thousand years of dreams. Go.

Sender: No , There has to be another way ! There has to be !

Durandal: Good gods, this thing alone could be a find of the millennium !

Last minute change to my plan, my only request is that the xenoform wire in the safety override be connected to the D1 node and that Jobber keep his acts in reserves until then. This will allow us to at least check Seccom mainframe.
>>
>>3975328

[can grabbing a wire and sticking the connection be considered free acts? don't see how i could do it otherwise. how about reconnecting that connection made by the enemy robot 1NE 1N of the override with one of our drones?]
>>
>>3975339
Teamwork, could do it think, the override connection is less important than having something to connect our 90 qubit node to D1.
>>
>>3975328
As for the plan itself
1. Emergency override is connected to D1
2. Jobber move qubits in the network to D1 (10 from the solar collector 10 from A2 90 from the door 10 from the override 10 from D1) 1 of those qubit goes to the drone probe bringing it back online [+1act] (139 qubit in D1), sweeping Neutral network is a free
3.Jobber Attack E1 with all the Qubit this is a sweep and bring our Qubit to 189 and end his turn
4.The probe drone I printed connect to the printer auxcom and connect to the 1qubit drone via radio

Redo your math to leave a qbit or two in the nodes, or they turn neutral when you move the processing out.

We sure the drones can connect cross map with radio? Connect to the sentry gun in line of sight and the outcome is the same.

Sender: Sorry Post Script but this won't be the first risk I'm taking today ! Command cover my approach , I'm going in !

Enemy Phase:

Surveilance feed extracted. Navigation Data Extracted. It would be nearly a thousand or so years ago that a subject known as Jack escaped containment and rampaged through the colony. After taking massive vital damage from Seccom, Jack purged xeno materials in excess of 120% of its body weight from their body and the resulting biomatter ran amok among the colony, all were in risk of infection or infected outright. Code 566 was declared and ODF staff was stripped of their authority until xenomateriales were purged from the colony. Overtime however, Colonists entered into a prolonged shelter mode, copying their memory chip data and subsuming to the digital cloud erected by SECCOM.

This was year 100, and soon even SECCOM began to meld with the collective minds of Pascal. The fluxes of those logged in changed drastically to the point of no longer synching adequately with their biological bodies, it was then handed over to the scientific authority left to experiment on the Priority 2 assignment: Bylion Mendele, the one who left the messages.

Going by logs , it's highly probable that 99.9% of staff have become xenoform experiments or otherwise.

Durandal: How about day to day life of a 1000 years ago ?

Orbital: It is as Sage Durandal Suspected, There were extra terrestrial life in the colony, genetic modifications were far more lax, and transbiological and transdigital lives exceeded living metrics as compared to Earth 1 by 12%. Such a time was not merely a nostalgic recollection of a Golden age, it is a stark contrast to what was lost when the Exalted declared humanity a threat.

The drone operator takes actions through their drone using their drone action option. This is their turn, not the drones turn. Your first mule action is turn ending for the drone operator and the rest of the actions cannot happen.

You're also redistributing the same qbits consistently in an infinity cycle of qbit movement, using the same qbits to multi-chain attacks. You'll want to avoid that or it creates a bottom less well of hatred from which no good things can escape.

The Tohama Heavy Industries Conglomerate has been deinstalled from power - taking its place is the ODF Executive Proxy. The volume of data present in the Pascal SuperCluster is ...staggering to say the least.

Pascal Representative: ODF , it's been an age since you have graced us. And with it , news that humanity continues to fight long after the dark days of xenoforms had wiped the cluster black with their shadowy hordes. This fills us with great hope but immeasurable terror. Though we have subsumed digital forms at this point it is no debate that generations of Pascalians have lived and died in these humble algorithms and wish only to enjoy that peace for a virtual century more.

Which is why we have agreed that if humanity, extant and forgotten would have a chance, we would lend the warrior souls of these Algorhymes to your cause. Pray forgive our indolence, but soon it will be a matter of time before a generation becomes aware of the danger that the physical cosmos possess and like days eld , promise thee a tribute of heroic collectives to fight for thee.

SciComm: Congratulations on disarming Seccom after their long iron rule, Orbital. You must be confused on why they were so incensed on murder, well since we are both against the xenoforms I suppose I shall disclose upon you all that I can.

Contained within these halls were once hallmarks of the golden age, a ship that has sailed a thousand years and the treasure trove it contains within. The sealed room to the south is but a small sample. I bid you extract all that is within of that research and destroy the rest. You must. Or the xenoforms will take it and use it against humanity. You are most likely after the Arc, that's right - The Arc. The first ship to set sail from a troubled Solar System on the brink of ecological collapse and sailed here, on this very system with all the knowledge, resources and instruction entrusted onto the Landers. We have as you saw, flourished here, on this planet with its amazing megafauna, and lush ecology and never again would we betray this planet's contract with us. And that would be so for almost half a millenia. But history can teach you the rest. The Exalted declared Mankind a disease on this system, and in their anger released the bugs.

These.... bugs. So adaptive, violent and yet so intelligently designed are capable of contesting man on their own game and at the core of their design ? The Exalted Directive, a sole genetic instinct ingrained into these monsters, that designate them as our Omega Predator for centuries to come.

And that's what the experiment here wished to conquer. To overcome the hatred in one's nature and see if it could be overrode with sheer human spirit.

That-- was the purpose of Jack. But in the end, he succumbed again and again, every copy for thousands of copies for thousands of days he succumbed to it, again and again. Poor child. We tried everything. Did everything, until at last he could not tell us apart from the Exalted. Then - at that point it became clear to us - he Hated us. Hated humanity for reasons of his own and so..... here we are.

If... you should meet Jack. I want you to talk to him. Ask him what he thinks of humanity, then. Come to your own conclusion, if you live that long, that is. The colonists here revere him and should the Xenoform hives make contact with this boy then stars help us all. For his hatred will exceed even that which is written in their blood.

====

Diagona: It seems we are in a situation here deeper than we expected but at least we have two fabricators and these murder machines will help us out against the coming threat.

Ranger, I leave the fate of Pascal's Supercluster to your discretion, communicate with the colony to see what they want.
As for the room that Sci Comm has mentioned, see if you can find a way to retrieve what's in there. Chips , Data, anything and everything within your power before the lift arrives and you are overwhelmed by bugs !

Historians would take note of the maneuver that occured on Pascal that very hour, where the 26th Regiment, fought off a 3 sided swarm of tunneling xenoforms and protocolonists by snaking off their path and diverting it into their firing lines. Records were unclear on the points that occured afterwards but simulations would reenact and refine on this strategy for future engagements.

Diagona: Let them crawl in fire and miasma, release every agony of mankind onto thee this is but a taste !

In the open fields of pascal's residential district, gas , fire , and grenades pummeled the field. Causing the horde to flinch for but a moment. A moment sorely needed for Pascal to muster.

" As of Year 1009 , Hour 1303, Pascal Colony joins the ODF and has declared ultimate war against the xenoforms. May the algorithm favor us. ODF Has promised us two terms:
The Surrender of all lab materials involving Experiment Code: Jack and other data extant and managed by our archives. The Colony's physical assets is declared to be ODF property and all other affiliations are considered 3rd party after the fact.
In return ODF and ODF:Hyparr will to the best of their ability protect the supercluster server and the inestimable lives within so Stars help us all "

Orbital: Pascal colony's export in data and Lightware will serve as a substantial backbone in our operations in the Silver Line, the 26th Reserve Regiment will be Awarded 20Chz for its discovery, and more when its data is uploaded.

Bones: How long would that take ?

Knight Command: Celestial Host is willing to cradle their universal architecture for now, you have until [turn 18] before all 780 zettabytes of it is uploaded.

Bones: Tha- That's Fast ! At that rate the fleet may as well print a whole universe from scratch.

Orbital: We lack 4 suns to perform this.

Sender: I know , we have to go up in person. Command, what are your suggestions ?

Orbital: There is solvent reserves on the launch track, activate it and organic materiale will dissolve, the protomycene included. Should the Interceptor get destroyed, a drop ship can freely use the launch pad since the launch track will be cleared of debris.

Alright Illuyanka. Theres only one thing we can do. Both of us aint going to make it all the way to the console or to whomever Jack is but at least one of us needs to right now. Just overclock, move past the bodies & xenoform. Cut in there flank & keep going. I'll either be right behind you or be too dead by covering your running. (Basically here's what I would like you to do:
-Tap: Overclock
-Act 1: Move 3SE (Cut into their Flank, Stride with confidence)
-Act 2: Move 1S, 1SE, 1NE (Keep going & cutting
-Act 3: Move 3NE
-Act 4: Move 3NE

"Just keep going, dont look back. I'll attempt to hold these guys back. You just got go as far in there & try not to die too early. Regardless, i'll give some covering fire & even throw in a grenade. Now go, we'll attempt to go for that objective. But we can't just let them have it & its a waste to just purge it without trying."

"All is fair in this war. Even when I detonate your corpses at the enemies feet or dropping BiTanks on their positions. Good job nonetheless. I'm sure Principal Diagona is proud. Great work results in Great success. Oh also I forgot to add the bounty of 20 chz from get Colony Pascal. So thats 153 chz total."

"My mathematics may be off, but I did experience two different forms of death this mission. As well as gathered some samples of the Huntress. Quite worth it overall."

SHOOTING BUGS. DO YOU KNOW. HOW MUCH I LIKE KILLING BUGS. KILLING THEM. SHOOTING THEM. THERE ARE THREE POINT SEVEN MILLION MILLION MILLION CELLS IN MY BODY. IF EVERY NANO-ANGSTROM OF MY DNA WAS REPLACED WITH AMMO FOR MY GUN I WOULD STILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH AMMO TO SHOOT AS MANY BUGS AS I WANTED TO SHOOT.

SHOOT BUGS.
