ROUGH BATTLE PLAN TIME!

Red is Red squad, Blue is blue, and Green represents the Xenoforms.

Red is to sweep into the base, with Blue behind providing covering fire.

Green will hold and slowly move in on the xenoforms. Fall back if necessary.

[HtL1] is to support the allied xenoforms. Fire rockets above and over the defensive line.

[BtL2] is to support Red Squad's push. Deal with the bigger predators.

As Red moves, Blue will follow. Hopefully, we'll clear the Western forces, then move through the base and do a pincer movement on the Eastern group.

"uh, command? making an early request for a supply drop, over."

"That's in the future, son. And we aren't taking refuge; we're doing a pincer maneuver to help liberate them. I'm sure they understand."

"Hey Alghorymes, I'm sending over the battle plan I've cooked up. If all goes according to plan, we'll have the place nice and clean for ya. But for now, I ask that you don't shoot us. Sending over friendly IFF signals now... And watch for the bugs on the Eastern side. Some of 'em are ours."

>>14358566
"Sir, I don't think we should antagonize these Alghorymes by entering the base. Especially not while we have all these xenoforms to deal with..."

>>14358642

"Look, we aren't breaking and entering. We're first going to clear the Western forces, then we're going to POLITELY walk up their stairs, move up to their ramparts, and smear the xenoforms on the Eastern side, catching them in a vicious pincer maneuver."

Enemy Phase

"C'mon ... Cmon..

Who will they hate... who will they hate.. "

Ender's fists coil in massed energy as he preps the havoc rounds...

Predictions:

Hostile xenoform forces will enter range of the Alghorymes, and their defense will begin.

The southern half of the enemy forces to the East will move to engage our own xenoform forces. Bloodbath will ensue, and the fight there will hinge on Krieg's ability to keep the battle in our favor.

In the West, the roach groups closest to the facility will likely continue to move forward. The pair of reavers are likely to retarget and head towards me, Nomad, or Quixote. The bulk of the xenoforms will be redirected towards our lines, resulting in a standing "slug-fest" between Red squad and whatever roaches are the closest. The scarabs will likely prioritize Blue squad members, or Ghoul, in which case, the use of Ghoul mode is suggested.

Also suggested a form of defensive line be established, with Nomad at the heart, and Quixote and Grey flanking, backed by Plaxinov and Warsaw.

Ghoul will have his hands full preventing the xenoforms from recombining by destroying as many as possible.

Blue squad will move in to support Red, injuring oncoming xenoform units as well as selectively targeting scarabs and the larger units.

>>14359359

>one of the reavers might actually towards me as I'm closer

>>14359359

Okay, fine, general guidelines for actions for [Fu] Foolscap and [Fc] SoapwRX

Foolscap will be crucial in the defense department. Really just preventing the xenoform forces from gaining the upper hand by preventing their progress and reducing their ability to bring their massive numbers into the fight. Creating walls from thin air, immobilizing mass formations of them, making them more vulnerable... you get the idea.

Soap will be critical in preventing them from using their ability to reform into greater and larger threats, most likely. Simply by hacking them before or right as they reform, he can immediately make one of their greatest advantages a weakness, as they would suddenly have to contend with a very large xenoform behind their front lines.

Get to work, people. Let's smash these bastards hard.

"No need to tell me twice, get moving medic!"

>>RECOMBINE and move full speed 3N over the rock.

"R00, if you would please, do help in convincing our new friends that we are friends, and not fleshy targets!"

Walker roared into his TACIM as he sprinted towards the line of defending Alghorymes.

"Now, if you would!"

rolled 6 = 6

>grab R00, carry her
>move closest to fort as able to
>roll for diplomacy, maybe get R00 to help?

"Hey! Let us in, we're trying to help here!" Maybe they would at least listen to a fellow robot?

R00 nods once in response to Ghost, surveys the battle. Then makes a beeline for the fortress.

On Nomad’s prompting she begins to transmit, via her wireless uplink, to the nearest AI all information relevant to the operation at hand; parsing the flow of information to demonstrate a lack of malice, and the mutual benefit possible with cooperation; as compared to the almost assured destruction of both parties without it.

"They do not seek to destroy any AI, they have only ever sought tactical advantage against the xenos,"

>Botting [S1]

>Move 3 E
>Climb onto Gryffin
>Ride it to relative safety.

Anyone else that needs to be botted?

" They come at us as nakedly as the monsters ! They even harbor the monsters with them ! What are you waiting for !"

" And yet they are the first to display a familiar sort of brotherhood ! "

" They cower to each other they cower to us for protection "
" And we'd no sooner do the same to protect our very own sparks ! "

" . . . . "

" Gigar. Trust them. Or we will never escape this chain of predation from the monsters "

Walker ran forward towards the Alghorymes. He hadn't noticed before, but they were big. Bigger than Nomad, fully suited, big. Bigger than a BiTank big.

"Paradox, we might need some evac soon - anything you can safely get would be nice! Air support, anything, shit! We are in danger of being overrun, I repeat, we are in danger of being overrun! Requesting air support and evac, A-S-A-P!"

Reaching the robots, he spun on his heel, to face the incoming swarm. Even if he was shorter than them, perhaps the significance of his actions wouldn't be lost on them, he thought.

Wheezing and out of breath, Walker raised his rifle, switched it to full auto, and pointed it towards the enemy xenoforms.

"Let's do this shit, ya bastards! For the Galactic Liberation Front!"

" And so it shall pass then... "

Arg, fucking hell.

I ran east instead of west. Goddamnit.

I meant to be roughly where Ender is now.

>>14360697

The forerunners who have left us to grow on our own designs shall gain our trust yet !

Soap stared at the xeno he helped enslave. Some how he felt pity for it. He couldn't explain it, it was like seeing a hurt dog or cat.

"Don't worry Zorak, we'll find away to help you."

He felt it.

In the air, in his finger tips, in the hairs on his back.

But what really gave it away was the cigar in his mouth nearly exploding in his face.

He started to laugh. Holding the end of the line, a strange place for a leader to be, he started to laugh like a maniac.

"HahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! FUCKING GHOUL MODE! BRAVO! ALGHORYMES! LAY THE FIRE ON THICK! KILL 'EM ALL AND LEAVE NOTHING BUT BACON!"

He flicked the selector on his rifle from single shot to fully automatic, and began to fire from the hip towards the encroaching horde.

>Exhales a large plume of smoke from the pair of cigarettes in his mouth as the flaming carnage unfolds in front of him, a smile tugging at his lips.
"I love the smell of bug bacon in the morning..."

The rookie finished his dash towards the compound when he was knocked flat into the sand of Titan by a massive shock wave originating from behind him.

He was stunned as he rose to his feet and observed the blast.

"HAH! FUCK YOU SHITPIGS!"

Turning back to the group, he stood triumphantly.

"I told you this would be a fucking cakewalk!"
