Splitting up in the face of all the poo poo that’s infesting the tower is not the best plan, and heroic last stands... ...well they’re for people that aren’t getting a payday at the end of this. (Amanirenas Bolster: 10, Success) (Baby Agility: 19, Success) With Okafor’s assistance you’re able to get Baby moving at a decent speed while getting her systems stabilized. You fall a bit behind Un, although its hard to tell as her mech’s optical camo keeps her off visuals. More importantly, you’re maintaining you lead on the assault squads. Occasionally subaltern teams or utility bots lurch at you from hidden nooks, but in small numbers they’re easy pickings for your shotgun, Un’s knives, and Okafor’s myriad explosives. You’re nearly to the access point when you get a warning ping from Un, and her mech materializes on the corner. Her feed streams to you, showing the large atrium-like area at the convergence of several large corridors. On the other side from you is a person-sized security door with ‘SECURITY SUBSTATION - AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY’ emblazoned on the wall above it. Your destination is in sight, only the atrium isn’t empty:   Heavy-duty construction bots and a few squads of combat subalterns. Not exactly pushovers, and every moment you waste on them brings the assault squads closer. A slightly unhinged giggle comes over Un’s feed. ”And ya bestgurl thought this part would be boring.” The two armatures that hold her railgun stow it and activate a massive charged blade. ”Ya gurl’s ya’s distractor, get bizy with tha metalgurl!” She boosts into the atrium, fading from sight as the camo kicks in only to reappear briefly as she hacks a subaltern in two. Speakers on the invisible mech blast loud music, adding to the confusion. She’s got the bots on their back foot, but its not going to last with these numbers. You ping Okafor. ”Toss me Bo’s casket and help the new girl. I’ll get her plugged in while you two hold down the fort.” Amanirenas’ tacfeed posted:BOUDICA, Pilot Okafor arches an eyebrow at you. ”She’s already plugged into my systems, I just need to get in and activate the remote link. You’re in the overwatch chassis, you attending to NIMROD’s defense makes more sense.” A: Ah, That Does Make Sense! Agree with Okafor and have her handle getting BOUDICA plugged in B: Actually, Baby is a Force Multiplier Your mech can fight on its own while you deal with Bo, so all three mechs will be in the fight

B, having the mech automatically throw out basilisk hacks or whatever while we dismount to plug in yields maximum shootybangs, which as we all know is the most important metric to optimize for.

What Okafor's saying makes sense here, and while Baby is set up for remote operations she isn't yet at the point where she'll be as good operating on her own as she would with us at the stick (for all the Horus weirdness now running through our systems, we still don't have a full-fledged AI riding shotgun). So let's give Bo over to Okafor and provide Alice with as much backup as we can.

You look from the approaching dots on the tacfeed to Okafor’s determined face on her screen. Then you chuckle to yourself, realizing you’re in L-T’s shoes. Transcript, Flying Monkeys Squad 1 pilotfeed posted:ELLTEE://Back in formation greenie, artie is spooling up for DC support! She nods, suppressing a grin. You see the Fuel Injector fire up at the same time a string of outraged gibberish blasts across Un’s feed. Baby and Amanirenas clunk manipulators together, then the two of you are off. (Crusher-bot System vs Basilisk: 8, Failure[Stunned]) (HAWTSNYPAUWU Grit vs Crusher-bot: 18, Success) (Weld-bot Attack vs. HAWTSNYPAUWU: 15, Success[Impaired]) (Amanirenas vs Combat Subalterns1: 11, Success[Destroyed]) (Amanirenas Systems: 15, Success[1]) (Baby Grit vs Crusher-bot: 8, Success[Destroyed]) (Combat Subalterns2 Attack vs HAWTSNYPAUWU: 8, Failure) Baby’s Basilisk is able to disable the melee bot before it can locate Un’s invisible mech, though the emitter shutters as the core power runs out. Un removes one of the helpless bot’s armatures with her blade, but this gives the laser-welding bot time to score a deep hit against her armor. Okafor decimates the combat subalterns with a RPG round before slamming through the security wall and setting her manipulators to work. Naval HQ Tactical Feed posted://NAVAL NHP CODES….ACCEPTED (HAWTSNYPAUWU Grit vs Weld-bot: 11, Success) (Weld-bot Attack vs. Baby: 17, Success) (Amanirenas Systems: 11, Success[2]) (Combat Subalterns2 Attack vs HAWTSNYPAUWU: Odd, Failure) (Baby Grit vs Weld-bot: 20, Success[Destroyed]) Un’s mech fades from view again, and sparks erupt from the laser bot’s now-damaged casing. Unable to lock onto its attacker, it retaliates against you, slicing into Baby’s damaged armor. Naval HQ Tactical Feed posted://INTERNAL SECURITY...ACTIVATED ”Greetings, We are BOUDICA. Residents of Amarkantak Station, we apologize for the failure to stop the intrusion. Pursuant to Article 5 Section 27 stroke 0 of Union Administrative Code, we are assuming direct control of station security. Please remain sheltered in place until you are notified it is safe to leave.” Bo pauses, and there’s an odd sound from the speakers. Almost like the faint grinding of teeth. ”To the intruders : get the gently caress off of our station!” ***** Its rather academic at that point. With the weight of the security subalterns, weapons emplacements, and defensive infoworms behind you, retaking the Naval HQ and the station at large is a matter of mopping up remnants. You are all safe again, but an adversary infiltrating one of Union’s bastions of galactic control is definitely going to have repercussions. Hopefully very lucrative ones… Vote 1: Downtime What will we get up to while waiting for the next mission? A: Get A Damned Drink! There’s definitely a bar somewhere on this station. Plus Okafor needs to be introduced to the traditional post-mission bar brawl B: Placate Union Administration While MSMC Legal Division has your back, you *did* double-cross UAD on a deal and then blow up large chunks of a naval station. Playing nice couldn’t hurt. C: Examine the Captive PERSISTENCE subjectivity Try and see what exactly L'Étranger did to the corrupted NHPs so you can work up counter-measures or extract actionable intelligence. Vote 2: Vignette Pick which other scene I’ll pull from tha feed D: Paracausal Theotechnics with Hediye Okafor and Alice Un E: Dinner With Bibi with Binti and Maya Okafor F: The Importance of Being Apologetic with Akram bin Adil Safar and Yonas Desta G: Wellness Check with BOUDICA and her case worker 5hodfh84FLOQQ0579u8fiohgfrhoviႹ: ႫႮႺϏ ЏФЦ, ДᏞᏞ Ꭴᖴ ᎢᎻΣΜ5kfoperge90u890tioerv

A G As much as I'd love to go (attempt to) get hosed up with Okafor, god I really want to poke around inside a paracausally corrupted NHP. It can't be more dangerous than trying to get drunk with an 8 foot tall Amazon who's literally never had a real drink before and likes fighting.

Actually, you know what, we're just carrying the PERSISTENCE core around with us right? How big is it? Can we just like wrap it in space tinfoil and stash it in the hidden compartment Baby undoubtedly has for keeping all our other contraband in? If we can be sure the core isn't about to be seized from us by Union cops and never seen again, I'm fine with coming back to it later and getting blasted now. We can gently caress around with the nerd poo poo whenever, and in fact probably should wait until we have some proper facilities. We can only ride the post-combat high with Okafor now, though, and that seems like an endearing character moment.

They don't give absolute sizes in the book, but I'm going to say that without the extra bits (ports/couplings/handles) a casket is the size of a human brain. Just in a more cylindrical shape. We can totally store it for later use, there's just the risk of losing it due to shenanigans or never finding the time

Vote 1: I propose we do all 3. Give Union Administration the Captive PERSISTENCE subjectivity and let them figure out if there is anything meaningful in that core; hopefully they’ll see this as a peace offering and ‘mellow-out’. This frees us up to go drinking with Okafor Vote 2: F: The Importance of Being Apologetic I have no idea what this is, therefore, it must be good?

CourValent's option might honestly be for the best. While we could possibly learn all sorts of interesting things from this subjectivity fragment A). that sounds suspiciously like responsibility and B). if something goes wrong we'll probably be the one who gets in a shitload of trouble. Let it be someone else's problem, then get that drat drink.
