L4 because we need as much paracausal and paracausal-adjacent bullshit in our life as possible. I almost went for the SHERMAN just out of pure fondness for the original Sherman, but bullshit space magic is too cool to pass on.

Hey we ain't getting paid to answer questions. The contract says kill what they point us at, doesn't say anything about what hardware we are or aren't allowed to kill them with :colbert:

Oh that's so cute we can hold a standard infantry-sized rifle in our chest hands and our HMG with our mech hands. That's like double the gun. Hell we've got enough hands to hold TWO mech-guns and still walk around, that's three times as many guns as the others!

CD, agreeing with sheep that getting as many mechs in the fight as possible is the best way to wrap this up. As to the subaltern, I don't wanna sit here and gently caress around with trying to hack it in the middle of a warzone, just pop the core so we can go over it later. Make sure we wrap it in space tinfoil so no signals can get in/out, though.

Yeah from what I understand we're in basically high-quality infantry armor, not our mech. To get to our mech, we have to somehow kill or otherwise get around all the killer robots in this building because they're between us and our mech.

Leaning B for now, go get all our mechs and then just smash it from behind. Does the BLACKBEARD look like it can try and hold its own for long enough that we can get to our mech, or would running past basically be writing this pilot off?

A

We have a gun. We have two guns and like 6 arms so we can shoot them both at the same time and still have multiple spare hands to chuck random heavy objects with. The target is a civilian construction robot that isn't built for combat. Don't overthink things, shoot it until something important breaks, it can't have that many redundancies or any real armor.

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.

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.

How much health does your average enemy mech have? Like is a 2d6 going to utterly delete them, do heavy damage but probably not kill, barely a scratch? From the fact that it's what "heavy" weapons usually deal I'm assuming it's a pretty serious punch even if it isn't gonna instakill everyone.
