warehouse seven, government
S1: Junk, Big Beef City, William Henry Hairytaint, Who What Now
S2: Luvcow, Statutory Ape, Fart Puzzle, Underwhelmed

This one took an unusual amount of time to load the map and deploy our guys. Dunno what that's about. poo poo I forgot to send Hell Yeah and test out the sword. Goddamn it.

Things started out fine, and our psi squad really shone in the beginning by freaking out the aliens and making them panic and pass out. Tide turned when there was a fuckin onslaught of energy beams, seriously a practically unending wave of aliens came storming out and we got a lot of wounds and had to back off. They shot brainsuckers at the retreating guys. Big Beef City was able to escape by juking around the brainsuckers. None of the other retreating guys made it.

Junk killed I think Fart Puzzle by sniping the brainstem from across the map, it was pretty crazy. Somebody bled out cause I kept loving up the evac orders. (It's a pain in the rear end because the commands to "turn the gently caress around and look behind you" also cancel all orders.) That was either WWN or Fart.

Two other guys got killed from high powered doom beams. There was an insane amount of aliens, like a total fuckton. probably 19 or 20.

Luvcow tanked a popper but lived. This rolled back most of the good the mutants did in the beginning because there was a chain reaction explosion that killed the knocked out enemies. He was crawling away with the medkit and ended up with a stray disruptor beam in the leg. Junk got ambushed and murdered right after killing the brainsucked guy, but Taint got revenge.

We had a lot of critical wounds. Some guys got like 3 in a row. We destroyed a ton of poo poo in the warehouse and blew a few giant holes in the floor. A spitter killed itself because while running away it decided to jump down into the basement instead of getting pincered and it didn't survive the fall. Fuckin Taint took a huge amount of damage and was able to keep it together enough to kill for the whole mission.

Ape blew through two full mags of ammo and had to keep fighting by taking a weapon off a dead alien. Eventually we had it down to a few spitters and a pair of slugs. Underwhelmed lost his poo poo and went berserk but was able to get under control after Ape took out one of the spitters. The last spitter died by trying the leap of faith, so I had our last 3 guys -- Ape, Underwhelmed, and Taint, regroup. Taint was able to pin down the slugs and kill them, while Ape & Whelmed killed the hyperworms.

It lead to one final stand where everyone was hosed with serious damage except Ape, who fuckin killed like 6 worms by blocking the elevator doors and gunning them down as they tried to eat their way through. Ape got really hosed up from this but it ended the mission.

editing this is super lovely, I guess I really do need some other program if these high powered missions keep hapening. Having a hard time paring down the dead weight where I had it paused. I was worried it would crash and totally gently caress up so I ended up leaving poo poo and just trying to export. Trying to get it uploaded.




We got no good loot but did get a new type of alien, like the arthropod but yellow and flies.
Lemme try and scan thru and figure out who bled out and who got brainsucked and we'll go from there.

e: yeah it was Fart got brainsucked, WWN bled to death.

And don't worry about the orderlies, I'll make sure they're muzzled so there won't be any disturbances.

Lobotomy Bob & CrazyLoon, from the mutant alliance. Regular human & android actually.
Lazyhound, ex diablo gangster. Mutant.
RaptorChief, ex cop. Mutant.

All the rooks and I think probably 5 more guys will do this mission. Should bring us up to ten, hopefully it'll be a better result. Also a significant amount of time is going past because it takes a minute for the new guys to check in and get equipped.

It was a pretty good brain, and super spooky because you started using psi against our own guys. Luckily you had your guts hanging out and a few more shots put and end to it.


I'm gonna go ahead and slot in Hell Yeah even though HY is a top tier alien killer. Wanna see how that sword swings.


Also trying out plays instead of screen to gif, maybe it'll work better for these super long cuts. Somehow it seems to be detecting Apocalypse pretty well and this is blowing my mind. The fuckin UI is really hard to wrestle with tho.

Lobotomy Bob, Hell Yeah, MrQwerty, The Cubelodyte, CrazyLoon, Lazyhound, Blade Runner, Gridlocked, RaptorChief, Don't Touch ME

yeah I gotta figure out the ui better and figure out how to export clips as separate files, but here's what happened:
https://plays.tv/s/LzOyZ7N_78V8
CrazyLoon got pegged right off the bat with a power weapon. I mean this dude shows up first day ready to roll and walks around the corner to a brutal gutshot. I tried to have Hell Yeah take out a popper with the sword but the reactions were too lovely or something and it popped before the swipe got in. Other than that pretty decent mission.



I can only assume this one was so much easier because most of the aliens escaped while our guys tried to figure out how to make mapquest work. The pathfinding for road vehicles can be suboptimal.

also, yeah a lot of our other guys got minimal wounds that should be patched up before the next mission so i'm not too worried. Loon & Hell are gonna be out for a while.



e: having more trouble with the uploads, if I can get it to work i'll edit it in. :/

you know what gently caress plays, I can add clips to the timeline, but how the gently caress do I split clips? I want like 5 much shorter ones instead of 2 long as gently caress ones no wonder the goddamn thing isn't uploading it's like 12 minutes long

e: i'm gonna turn off all notifications and set the bookmark to pause, that way I can just slam pause and do my plans and then when I unpause I can have a set of marks I can use to insert new clips I guess.

e2: alright what the gently caress ever, I was able to upload using a different browser. Lost the drive there tho it was kind of a 3 stooges deal where the cars couldn't figure out how to get to the fcukin mission. Shot up some cult cars tho.

On the list bud. As the bases expand i'll fill out the roster the rest of the way and start rotating the missions better. We have a lot of expensive guys so somebody's gonna have to start robbing again soon.

I dunno what the deal is with biology recruits, but if we don't start getting them i'll just change the save so that some other nerds who are available for hire get their jobs and stats changed and we'll hire the no-names. It doesn't make sense. On the flip side I think I know how to resurrect the dead.

ps this is merely an investigation sir we are not going to actively rob a gang unless the thread votes for it
