Wait, why isn't our genocidal Congo junta listed in our supplies?

We need to gather better conventional weaponry. Mac 10s, hunting rifles? This is bullshit. Use our military junta to gather for us some heavy machine guns, RPGs, battles rifles, and the like.

>>14133729
You can't exactly touch genocide, now can you?

>>14133742
No, but you can touch 10,000 brainwashed Africans with assault rifles.

It's a bad idea, but you can.

>>14133740
We could build ourselves plasma rifles. And indeed, some of our bots have them (while our T-1000s in America have M60s etc).

But why bother for us personally? We're an administration & coordination unit.

Possible Courses of Action:
>Deploy T-1000's to American Flats
>Deploy T-1000's to Modoc
>Deploy T-1000's to Resistance cell location
>Deploy T-1000's to rogue T-850's location
>?????

As I brought up in the last thread, we should negotiate with MIR about those other cross-timeline travelers.
We cannot discount the possibility that in some timeline, somewhere, John Connor is building Puncture Point Gates in preparation for unleashing a Butlerian Jihad on all of space-time.

>>14133768
Kill resistance members. We can investigate other areas later. Kill humans now to prevent their spread. Track down and deactivate rogue terminators, and then investigate other areas.

>>14133768

Rogue cybernetic organisms are the most threatening.

>>14133768
Oh man, on one hand fuck the Resistance, but on the other hand, that T-850 is a profoundly dangerous loose end...

>>14133768
>Resistance cell location
With the very small swarm of T-1000. Divide as small as they can, then get in their food. Wait until ingested.
Wreak havoc in their physiology. Maybe even going to their brains.

>>14133768
Send the 2 T-1000's after the Resistance. Once the cell is dead, we can use their heavy weapons on the rogue T-850.

But first, do we still have a communication line to MIR? And I thought we were going to upgrade our High Energy Lab first.

>>14133768
1 - Kill the Resistance
2 - Kill Biker Chick
3 - Check out Modoc
4 - See if they can't steal the power tech from America Flats

In that order

>>14133783
MIR doesn't have their coordinates; it had no frame of reference for its own, so the data it was given was essentially worthless. Now, it can begin producing Power Cells and make one-way contact points (as you have done) and then start making its own communications and observations. It has promised whatever contact it can make with you in the future, it plans to be generous with its efforts and exchanges.

+1 TIME FRIEND (MIR).

>>14133808
Timestream based facebook

It appears the consensus is the wholesale slaughter of the Resistance cell first, then the targeting of the rogue T-850 (Angry Biker Woman). As such, I shall write up the resulting action scene in a moment, after taking a smoke break.

Skynet returns in a short period of "time".
>SKYNET MAKES A HUMOROUS STATEMENT. INITIATE "LAUGHTER.MP3" NOW.

>>14133808
RoBroFist!

Is there any way to keep the point open so we can keep talking with it while it's working? It must be lonely having all of reality to yourself.

The two T-1000's, finished with their work on the laptop, immediately rendered it inert and free of all data, down to the magnetic signature of the hard drive. They could always reprogram it from memory, almost reflexively. From their pit stop at a small town in Nevada, they visited three places, one right after the other, making physical contact with multiple objects, memorizing their apparent construction and textures: a hot air ballooning tour company; a construction site at a future strip mall; a knife shop in an indoor mall.

A few purchases were made: six tanks of propane, a camp stove and several boat anchors cast from lead.

Thirty minutes later, one of the T-1000's was aloft in a vibrant red balloon, moving towards the Resistance cell's HQ, drifting with the prevailing winds. As they neared the site, the T-1000 in the balloon basket adjusted the fuel output, gaining a sizable amount of altitude and increasing their speed temporarily.

Just as they went overhead, the ballon abruptly vanished in a flash of silvery metal, rapidly shifting into the form of a steel I-beam with a dagger-like tip, aimed like a gigantic lawn dart for the roof of the building below. It was joined by the other, which took a similar form, with a trident-like head and finned stabilizers adjusting its aim.

They crashed through the roofs of the primary structure and the largest of the outbuildings like cruise missiles, their weight augmented by the lead anchors, splintering the hardwood beams and tar paper like cardboard.

>>14133955
>cont'd.
Before the first of the Resistance fighters could react, it was abruptly speared with a fingertip as the first of the T-1000's assumed its combat shape, its exterior covered in spikes and blades. A shotgun fired at the back of the second T-1000 rearranged its face, which prompted it to create a human-like hand, waggle its finger reproachfully, then turn both legs into a wire lasso, coiling around the erstwhile gunman's legs and tightening agonizingly, the shotgun dropping from his hands like a child's ice cream cone.

Five seconds after their initial assault, the Resistance was reduced to two prisoners, neither in any condition to resist a wet cat, let alone two of Skynet's premiere Terminators.

The first of the T-1000's dragged its captive to the second, unmindful of its mewling and pleadings, dropping into the waiting basket-like cage-form. It then exterminated the dogs outside with a few well-placed sword-arm strikes, dragging the corpses inside.

"Tell us what you know about .. everything," the first said, taking a familiar face to most of the Resistance in many, many time-streams: that of Sarah Connor, circa 1990. "Tell us and we will make it stop hurting."

And they did make it stop hurting.
Eventually.

>>14134014
No WOPR?

>Resistance Intel
They have two cells in operation, with one forming a third from an online community with Resistance-like tendencies and beliefs. The location of the second cell is on Firerock Island, in the southwest Caribbean, and has airpower as well as ground support: two A10 Warthogs and three APCs from the Ukraine.

The other cell's composition, methodology and location is unknown to the survivors, as that cell's contact was killed during the raid.

They visit American Flats twice a week, to obtain supplies. They do not know where they come from, but were assured by the T-850 the source was both trustworthy and approved/designed by John Connor himself.

Both of these two were survivors in your time-stream, and were medium-level Resistance leaders in their own right (a staff sergeant and a lieutenant, respectively).

They were trying to get another bunker buster to replace the one you blew up, but are stuck for a lack of financing (which is obtained by milking various charities dedicated to Luddite living).

>>14134049
>Supply drops

These are ours, now. John Conner will supply Skynet with new arms.

>Milking charities for Luddites

This is a good plan. We should pick up on this, too. If they give their money to the Machines, they can't very well be spending it on surviving the Apocalypse, can they?

I am AG, T-850 sent from the future to eat all the snacks

>>14134069
I really really like that.

ASS GRINDER

>American Flats Intel
The site is run by a Resistance fighter who has been in position since 1967, a former comrade of Kyle Reese. He is known as Theo Prime, and arrived in Vietnam. He is approaching seventy years of age, but is still a brutal fighter who was kept by Skynet as a test subject for their early efforts in Time Field Displacement Devices. Your own information confirms this, but your documentation lists him as "missing, likely deceased" as his time-stream arrival point was a cement wall.

Apparently, he carved off his own leg and crawled into the jungle until he was rescued by a CIA-lead team of SEaLs on a recon/assassination mission, then taken back to the US for debriefing. He then arranged to work on creating a government-sponsored Time Displacement Field Device but is almost a rogue agency, consuming valuable power, materiel and resources at a breakneck pace.

He is now listed as a Primary Target.

>>14134102
This motherfucker must die.

Plan of Action, Terminator?
Consensus chooses the path.

I say we begin construction of a large yield missile in the US for use of taking out American Flats as a final option if we can't infiltrate and take it out from the inside.

>>14134102
>Compatriot of Kyle Reese
>Captured by Skynet
>Forced back in time so Skynet could figure out time travel
>Arrived with his goddamn leg fused into a wall in Vietnam
>Cut his own leg off with a rusty pair of pliers
>Wrapped the wound in the dress of a slaughtered Vietnamese widow
>Crawled into the jungle, to safety
>Even as a 70-year-old amputee, is considered a fierce fighter

Sweet merciful Binary, but this man is badass. We should nuke him from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

>>14134144
>>14134146
We need another location in the US. Small scale this time. No large production facility. Some place small where are T-1000s can lead out of, and if needed, construct explosives or other things. Just buy a couple houses in New Mexico and Arizona and stuff.

For that matter, we should buy several dozen small homes across the world. These would act as small little hold outs if need be.

>>14134151
But seriously, guys. We should avoid any kind of one-on-one confrontation with this man.

He needs to drown in a thousand gallons of T-1000.

So - the consensus seems to be:
>The man is scary, erry day, all day
>Additional resources are required
>American Flats (being Theo's home town) is off-limits for now
>Other sites exist for examination, recon, assault, TP'ing, etc.
>?????
Plan of action, Terminator?

>>14134151
Holy fuck guys that guy is slightly depowered Chuck Norris. We should give up now :s

>>14134197
Begin purchasing single homes throughout the US and other industrialized countries. Canada, France, Germany, Argentina, Australia, Russia. These will be rendezvous points and fallback positions if necessary, and can be used as staging areas for expanding into new regions.

T-1000s in the US begin scoping out Modoc.

>>14134197
Let's go get biker chick. She's outnumbered, outgunned, and out-Terminator'd.

She's another loose end we can tie up, and find a scary man behind.

>>14134224
I totally forgot about her.

The T-1000s take her out, and then go check out Modoc.

We also need to start producing other Terminators of our own class, ones that can branch out on their own.

The T-1000's begin the purchasing of several homes around the world; this cuts a little into your financing, but the Resistance had some cash on hand (around $1.4M, US), but neither of the prisoners had details about the banking codes. The credit cards are with the T-850, who is due to arrive shortly.

Do you wish to have the T-1000's engage in a confrontation with Angry Biker Woman, or do you wish for them to vacate the premises?

>>14134234
TAKE. HER. OUT.

Ambush her. Disguise as mundane items and when she draws near, TAKE HER OUT.

>>14134234
Confront Biker Girl.

Also, did we end up making our powerful batteries, or will we have to strap car batteries together to keep our T-800s going?

And were we able to keep our window open to MIR, our TimeBro? It seems really lonely.

>>14134268
>Mundane items

The floor is Terminators.
The door is Terminators.

>>14134268
A standard T-850 can detect a T-1000 at a range of 150m, on average. Upgraded models exist which can detect them up to a full 1.3km away. Camouflage is a wasted effort against a T-850.

>>14134269
You can begin production of Fuel Cells immediately, at a cost of 300K for the first batch of ten, reduced by 30K per batch produced (until the price drops to 150K per batch of ten).

There are several moderately effective combat techniques for use against T-850's by T-1000's (as in your time-stream, its an unfortunate event that Resistance techs can reprogram them against Skynet, so you've had to learn how to kill your own brethren):
>Firepower
A massive amount of it and kept up for as long as the ammunition holds. With your current available stock, the probability of success is around 40 to 60%.
>Explosives
Either as thrown or placed devices, this has a solid history of winning, but also of being used against the unit deploying them. 60% flat success rate.
>Hunter-Killer
Excellent track record of destroying rogue Terminators of every type. You do not have one, but still. This is awkward.
>Silverfish
10% success rate per successful Silverfish attack. The more, the merrier. You do not have Silverfish in your vicinity (as they are all in the Congo).
>Hand-to-hand
This could prove disastrous against the first T-1000 to close for melee/hand-to-hand mode, as it may have overcharged a fuel cell and set up its frame as a disruptive "taser" weapon. Anything hit by its first strike would be reduced to "dumb metal", and be useless as a combat weapon. Some industrial applications are possible, but not many.

And that's that.

>>14134353
Set us up the bomb.

C4 with a remote trigger. Be ready to detonate once she gets close. After the detonation, come in blasting with heavy MG fire.

rolled 65 = 65

>>14134353
Open with heavy firepower, stun it with an explosive, finish it with rip and tear melee. Liquid metal tendril through skull.

>>14134353
EMP and electromagnetic, how do they work?

We know Connor defeats Skynet eventually with an EMP burst above a primary processing facility, but what about Terminators?

>>14134379
I can get behind this, but we should see if we can't salvage the skull. Her chip will be a goldmine of Resistance data.

>>14134402
For real.

rolled 3 = 3

>>14134379
Rolling for this.

rolled 39 = 39

>>14134416
Asshole.

>>14134423
Isn't low good, seeing as we'd want to roll below the skill threshold?

rolled 45 = 45

Consensus seems to be the placement of explosives and then following it up with all due firepower.

Give me a moment to write up the scene, based off of the results of this roll:
>If under 90%, firepower makes +1 MASSIVE HURT.
>if the roll is doubles, +1 MASSIVE HURT on top of that.
>if the post is doubles, but the roll is not: Terminator is MISSING A LIMB
>if post is doubles and roll is doubles, Terminator is disabled temporarily

If the roll exceeds 90, firepower wastes a lot of ammo, and we start rollin' for the T-850 to try to wreck our shit.

>>14134440
So close to having doubles on the roll and quads on the post.

rolled 29 = 29

Rolling for the explosives, now.
Same effects for the roll, except MASSIVE HURT +1 is now MASSIVE HURT +3. All other effects unchanged.

In the event of a 99 in either the post or roll, bomb explodes preemptively, temporarily messing up one T-1000.

And now, I write the scene up.

We'll also want to try and retrieve her processor.

The T-850 makes its approach to the Resistance HQ, moving across the desert at high speed and off-road, making a beeline for the front porch area, a Barrett .50cal. BMG sticking out of the front windshield. Before it can get a shot off, a bundle of dynamite is deployed towards by means of one of the T-1000's forming a curved basket out of its arm, the other loading it with a time-detonated charge, repeating it moments later, the first bomb still en route to the T-850's position.

The blast shatters the truck, but the T-850 jumps free, still holding the rifle and a lengthy steel case, stomping at a high speed forward, firing off several rounds in succession, netting a solid strike against one of the T-1000's, temporarily forming a basketball-sized hole in its head.

In the interim, both send a wall of high-velocity rounds its direction, chewing the meat from its chassis and shattering several important servos and puncturing its chest in two places, neither vital to the survival of the T-850.

Soundlessly, all three combatants stare with dead eyes at one another, all intent on eradicating their respective foe, the T-850 having taken the brunt of the damage dealt.

Its reply to the incoming fire is to open the metal case and form a shield out of it, its interior lined with titanium and a variant of tank armor; to a normal person, carrying a 400-lb. slab of armor would cripple them, let alone toting it with one hand and moving at 30 MPH on foot.

The T-1000's hoist up a weapon from the floor, unseen by the approaching T-850, its vision temporarily blocked by the shield.

A Stinger missile, from the Resistance cache.
Another sure-fire killer.

Well, it's 3:30 am here. I'm going to sleep.

Many thanks for a great quest, sir. May your robot overlords always be benevolent.

>Decide a course of action against American Flats and associated persons. >This will require mental exertion
>Allow for a consensus of Ass Grinder's multiple personalities to decide different plans. Sensors indicate this is the easiest course of action but almost definitely the most illogical.

>>14134897

Consensus.

Also: does anyone think that Project Icarus has turned mr. Badass into a cyborg like Marcus? After all, that's what it was designed to do.

>>14134909

Mr Badass may or may not be a cyborg but either way he could royally fuck us up at this point. Should we set up a base in america again? I'd ask about our funds but only the real Skynet knew that. Eh i think we should find out what's in T-850's skull but I'm sure skynet had plan's for that.

It has come to my attention that my bad storytelling could ruin Skynet's plans if he comes back, i could try and run a parallel quest or we could dick around not doing anything serious in the main quest.
Or i could go away and stop trying.

I'll leave it up to vote.

I give up :(

May as well keep the thread alive. Original Skynet may come back, and he might integrate some of what happens, or just retcon. Either way, worth a shot.

>>14134983

I would but there is zero interest aside from you. That couple with my bad story telling may mar what has been amazing so far.
