In other news, I have supplemented my Protomen Act III impatience by downloading everything the Megas ever made. It's working better than expected.

Airman makes me happy.

Do you know what it's like to be built this way?
With only the power to push people away...

FUCK YEAH ZERG QUEST!

>>15129382
Keep at it. As soon as a zone is cleared in orbit, I think we should bring a pair of cloaked battlecruisers to provide extra space firepower and for orbital strikes to support our ground forces.

>>15129633
The satellite network is spread very thin, now. There is plenty of room for battlecruisers, if you don't want to wait.

>>15129663
VoidGate has not shown any ability to construct or use comsats, and unless it has some hidden reserve of detector satellites, our cloaked battlecruisers should be safe from the planetary defense plasma cannons.

Bring in a pair of cloaked battlecruisers, and have them assist in securing the orbital space. Keep them moving though, VoidGate has shown that it can trace weapons fire from cloaked vessels.

>>15129692
Two of our battlecruisers warp into the system, cloaking as soon as possible. On the ground, a massive rumbling begins as the cannon swings to face their entry vector.

It waits, barrels aimed into the sky, as the battle continues beneath it.

We can fire on the cannon, try to fire on the androids defending it (though we may take friendly fire), or survey for other targets.

>>15129741
vote?

>>15129741
Survey for other targets. Those Battlecruisers got VoidGate's attention, so hopefully we can get in there and take the cannon by force.

If possible, I would rather capture VoidGate's technology rather than destroy it.

>>15129775
Secounded, also how nukes we got left

>>15129775
1 for looking around. Nobody for action.

How unlike /tg/.

>>15129741
Keep battlecruiser's out of fight unless we find it necessary. Take out the cannon with ground forces first.

>>15129775
This

>>15129817
Make that two Cerebrate!

>>15129775
>>15129811
>>15129836
>>15129840
(You guys are cautious tonight. That's new)

The battlecruisers scan the surface, revealing hundreds of missile silos working to build the missiles that keep killing our orbital forces, two major computer processing centers, and another cannon.

On the ground, two of our ultralisks are killed in the mass of androids, but we have reached the threshold of the cannon's support structure.

>>15129878
Well I suppose we should either render it inoperable or destroy it

>>15129878
Once we reach the plasma cannon's support structure, use it to gain entrance to VoidGate's underground complex. Our primary targets are the computer processing centers; once we disable them (via super-accelerated U-238 slugs through computer boards), the rest of the facility should come under our control.

While this is occurring, have Cyberbrate work with Internbrate to contruct remote interface devices that can be installed in VoidGate facilities that will give Cyberbrate control of them.

Finally, how are the ground forces doing? Do we need to send in more reinforcements?

>>15129878
Can we destroy or render inoperative temporarily the computer centers?

If so, lets do it.
Destroy is the one we don't want though.

>>15129925
Agreed, but when using Cyberbrate we should be carefull, incase void gate tries to, hack us.

>>15129925
Cyberbrate doubts that direct access to the cannon's control systems will be possible without heavy demolition of internal walls. It is 100% certain that it could interface with VoidGate's machinery, but worries that any connection would work in both directions. It doesn't know what VoidGate could do with that.

The ground forces are being pinched between the entrenched androids inside the structure and the machines converging from other locations on the outside. Warbrate would like reinforcements, if we can provide them.

Since the battle seems to be swinging in our favour, I would like to make a radical proposition for once the cannons and missile silos are neutralized:
We should let VoidGate live. Trap it in this world, remove its ability to move, to send radio transmissions, to build new facilities. Confine it to a box, bury it as far down as we can dig, and leave it there.
Give it no mouth, and make it want to scream.

>>15129935
The EMP from a nuclear detonation could disable the centers, but placing the blast close enough to completely disable them without rendering them unusable will be difficult and depend on /tg/ dice.

>>15129969
Do we have the ground forces to spare to send to Brullant?
If so, I believe that this situation, the elimination of a major threat to us, is enough to warrant that we send in whatever ground forces we can spare.

I know that Warbrate set up a small hive to try to build reinforcements locally; how is that working out?

>>15129979
Give him everything he needs.
>>15129969
What say borders on insanity, I like it lets do it, if for nothing eles then to torture our geart foe.

>>15129969
VoidGate hacking a cerebrate. That's an offense to the Overmind, we'd have to purge Voidgate if he did that.

Could we bring in wraiths to destroy the missile silos?

>>15129969
Give Warbrate reinforcements

>>15130017
>>15130020
Warbrate's reinforcements are en route.

The battlecruisers await new orders.

Toaster reports that we are back up to 300 missiles on Nuke World.

>>15130078
Wraiths to dive bomb the silos while cloaked?

>>15129987
My vote.

Can Warbrate or Labbarate give an estimate on how long it would take to disable the plasma cannon based on the information we have gathered from our front line troops?

>>15129987
This
>>15130100
Also that

>>15129987
I think we should chance it. Given the complexity of the facility, I don't think we could be sure we severed all connections between VoidGate and the systems controlling the defenses.

Use EMP's to knock out the computing centers.

>>15130170
EMP the core, you mean like last time? The sad part is that I only now remembered that we dig a hole with a carrier beam to drop a nuke for EMP purposes onto Voidgate's Dagoba core.

We should develop nuclear missiles that have a greater EMP field and less destructive power.

It is physically possible if I recall correctly.

>>15130170
>>15130165
>>15130148
Ok.

There are two processing centers. It will take at least one missile to disable each facility. Roll 1d100 for each missile you want to send, and say where you're shooting.

60 or below misses.
61 - 75 partially disables the facility.
76 - 99 completely disables the facility.
A 100 will force me to deliver the message with some kind of gimmick. Haven't decided, yet.
A 1 will be bad. Multiple 1s will be very, very bad.

Gonna take the first results that quote this message. Good luck.

rolled 25, 25 = 50

>>15130252
2 missiles, 1 for each computing facility.

rolled 26, 15 = 41

HERE WE GO!

rolled 12 = 12

>>15130252
I choose the left one.

>>15130267
Damnit, 'close enough' should be good enough for horseshoes, grenades, and nukes!
Cerebrate, can we still fire more missiles, seeing as they were just misses?

rolled 18 = 18

>>15130281
>>15130276
>>15130267
Wow the dice are not happy tonight, But I'll try the right one just to check.

rolled 14, 55, 81, 18, 10, 51, 92, 2, 37, 78 = 438

>>15130292
Just checking the dice.

Oh dice, why do you hate us so?

rolled 18, 31, 89, 14, 26 = 178

>>15130252
Alright, I'll try five missiles at the left one.

rolled 18, 48, 4, 63, 22 = 155

>>15130352
Four misses and a disable. Now let's try five at the right one.

rolled 100, 73, 89, 26, 80 = 368

>>15130359
16 missiles fired, the left one is completely disabled, and the right one is partially disable. Five more at the right for a total of 21 missiles used.

rolled 85, 70, 36, 27, 27 = 245

>>15130252
Spread of 5 nukes at the second computing center.

>>15130378
4 hits and a gimmick. Only took 21 of our 300 missiles.

>>15130380
So 26 missiles total, and the right core is extra completely disabled.

Core:Misses,Partial Disables,Disables
Right:12,2,4*
Left:7,0,1

Whoa. Got distracted. Sorry, guys. Let me see what I missed.

>>15130267
>>15130276
>>15130281
>>15130292
>>15130352
>>15130359
>>15130359
>>15130378
>>15130380
26 missiles and you get a gimmick. Damn. I am conferring with an actual woman for a quality gimmick.

>>15130573
YO DAWG! WE HERD U LIKE NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS, SO WE PUT RADIOACTIVE BLAST ZONES IN UR RADIOACTIVE BLAST ZONES SO YOU CAN DISABLE ELECTRONICS WHILE U DISABLE ELECTRONICS!

26 missiles wind into the atmosphere and blow the EVER-LIVING SHIT out of the landscape surrounding the facilities. Through sheer luck and Cerebrate Anon's absent-minded neglect to make low-scoring rolls destroy the facilities, the blast zones are far enough away to spare the facilities, but several come close enough to actually disable the electronics.

It looks a lot like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh4xCg_UOu0

Only with more explosions.

>>15130743
STORM THE TUNNELS!
Use this chance to sweep away all mechanical resistance!

>>15130804
The processing facilities are not adjacent to the cannon where we have ground troops in combat. We could re-route Warbrate's reinforcements into the processing centers to take them for sure, or send more forces and hope that VoidGate does not reinforce the position before they arrive...

>>15130860
I think we should take the processing centers for sure. Have the reinforcements that are enroute secure the plasma cannon.

>>15130908
(Alrighty, then.)

The overlords arrive and make their way into the atmosphere, cloaked to avoid missile fire. The ground forces make a small hole for the reinforcements to disembark, and a new wave of brutality is unleashed. Cyberbrate thinks it can lead us to the power source, which would explode violently if ruptured, or we could use ultralisks to attack the interior walls to reach the likely sites of VoidGate's control nodes, but that could risk damaging the structural integrity of the cannon. Both ways have risks. Which do we choose?

Also, the battlecruisers are idling in orbit.

>>15131020
Let's head for the power core, and have the wraith squadrons (that I assume are in teh BCs hangers) cloak and take out the missile silos.

>>15131020
Go for securing the power core, and tell Warbrate to be extra careful around it.

Until we can neutralize the plasma cannon, it's far too dangerous to have the battlecruisers do anything right now. If they have any Wraith escorts, have them provide close air support for any of our forces still on the surface.

>>15131040
>>15131066
2 for attacking the power core
0 for trying to disable VoidGate's control nodes

Wraiths strafe several of the missile complexes, but Labbrate is pretty sure we will need more fighters if we intend to disable all of them anytime soon.

>>15131102
Go for the power core.

Also voting that we strap an ultralisk to a missile and fire it at the complex. Not because it'll be effective, just for the lulz.

rolled 36 = 36

>>15131147

Rolling for this

>>15131187
I meant the Ultralisk missile, not the power core. I could care less about what actually gets done.

>>15131147
With its reinforcements in place, Warbrate has little trouble guiding the ground troops through the corridors of the cannon complex toward the reactor core. Well, that is, those who can fit. The ultralisks are too large, and make their stand holding the entrance. While they cut a swath through the androids, they are outnumbered. Warbrate allows Gorn to seize control of them.

As the remaining forces break through, they see a sight that surprises everybody except Cyberbrate: a highly modified, irresponsibly oversized, and almost dangerously unstable Protoss drive core. With this power source, the cannon could have enough energy to fire at orbital targets at approximately the rate of a photon cannon for several minutes. Cyberbrate gives us long odds of disabling the core without causing a detonation, but is willing to try if we wish.

If not, it can easily tell us where to strike to cause a detonation, though it really looks like striking it anywhere would do.

Because of ladyfriends and it being a slow night anyway, I'm going to stop here. Next week looks like a pretty 99%-sure end to VoidGate. Way to stomp its shit, guys.

Inter-Planetary Ballistic Ulturalisks are a possibility for next week. Or any week, really.

>>15131238
Musical Nukes, with such memorable songs as: If I were an enriched man, the hills are irradiated with the sound of music, and many more...

>>15131238
Alright, see you next week, Cerebrate.

For next week, I think we should attempt a shutdown of the power core.
When we build another one of these, we'll do it right by using a STABILIZED drive core.
