Springer: "Rescue operations aren't really my boat, but whatever gets the job done."
Sinclair: "Dude, what ARE those things?!"
Springer: "Don't know, but they're solid, and like anything solid, they have a critical weakness; they can be shot!"

Varro's squad fell in at Clyde's impromptu medical triage station, nursing their injuries. As Kess moved into the new temporary base in the Lab, their battered leader turned and saluted, having foregone attention to the slash wounds he had until his squadmates Kayle and Glenn were taken care of.

"Sir, we stand ready still. Direct the Coyotes to the enemy, and we won't fail you.

>>16856124
I missed vahn's action ; pretend it went through.

>>16856124

Feral? Miss, are you telling me this facility has been housing GHOUL PROTOYPES?!

>>16856138

Zombies. There is a distinct difference.
Zombies are simply the revival of dead beings through other means than the usual Siring inherent from vampires.

In this case, Science and IBonyte is used; however...

"Yippee kai yay." Hare laughs out loud as the rumble from his grenade is accompanied by the sound of Gunther's overwhelming firepower. "Roasted."

>>16856157

Patient zero has been the only successful case of full human retention. On top of retaining a good percentage of ... uh anyways.

What do you wish to do ?

As an interested but always late to the thread observer... what exactly was the point of taking on this mission again? In context with the rest of the recent missions, it seems out of place AND suicidal.

Also those bugs are going to be the end of you before that curse is.

>>16856171
Is there anything that makes these zombies any more dangerous than ghouls? Are there any significant differences?

>>16856124
>>16855657
"MERRY GODDAMN VALKNYR'S DAY, YOU ROACHY BASTARDS!"


"This is Vahn, Hare and I have made it topside, we're going to grab a transport and dig a way in, where do you want it Major?"

>>16856178
This was originally supposed to be a one day Halloweenl/Skirmish Quest anniversary special, but like all things, it kinda went on longer than intended.

>>16856187
Preferably into the lab so we can get a reliable supply line and a way to transport those zombie tubes outta here.

>>16856171
>>16856184
Also, would our ghoul repellent be effective against them?

>>16856178
It's because the ex-major is not there to soak all the hits.

>>16856184

These Zombies can retain some form of instruction and autonomy unlike ghouls who simply wander and eat townspeople. .... Wait Zombies do this too.

But I believe the important aspect about these zombies in respect to necromancy is their impeccably "live" state due to the Black Blood in their system.

However, the Black blood that keeps them alive tends to take a life of its own... very few Corpsiers could handle this fewer still are the former human hosts themselves.

After all I am one myself.

>>16856260
We've had a few different problems this go around, first and foremost being deployment issues, people have been dropping out at a fairly stead rate. The second thing that screwed us over was our main method of antiinfantry didn't deploy until the waves of chump bugs had been mostly dealt with, so the rest of the unit had to pick up that slack, and slowed down.

And really, whoever is commanding the bugs this fight got really really smart about it. Seriously, Kudos to whoever is piloting.

>>16856210

Zombies use context.

Ghouls go off other senses.

Repellant wont work on zombies. Feral ones have the intelligence of hunting wolves.

>>16856328

With that said; preparations for a seal ceremony is hitting some snags. It looks like there's a rift I need to locate. Find it, and I shall summon myself to perform it. You must then defend it until I am finished.

Alternatively. And I'd hate to say this; we can simply detonate this house but at great cost to my operations. And your future struggles to fight off the Thanatos Curse.

[I sure hope you did not forget about that curse. There should be a clue to deal with it somewhere....]

>>16856353
Why must you be such a tease...

>>16856353

And as a final note; being an apprentice corpsier and all.. perhaps I can try my hand at controlling the zombies to help you. You ragnyllians never think of it due to your long history of strife with the undead.

But they can be as useful than a pile of dead people if not more so.

Think about it.

=To Be Continued Sunday at aprox. 6Est=

"So, all things considered, I think that went pretty well." Hare winces as he runs his fingers over the gashes from the wasp's attack. "Well, at the very least we got to put some scitters in their place, right?"

>redeploy as Engineer

"Darn shame, I've been eyeing one of those for a while now... Mmk, well, I think I'll be redeploying as an engi then as well. Might as well be useful, eh?" Hare pats his rifle before reluctantly setting it down. "Ya did good." Thanks to the versatile training of the Ragnyllian armed forces, Hare has little trouble suiting up and getting ready to head back to the fight in the standard engineer's regalia. As he finishes clipping on the pack, he takes a slow, deep breath.
"It's show time."

Actually I'm afraid I'll have to drop out for now, maybe I'll be back later tonight or something, I dunno.

>>16865779
"Gunther these Zombies are controlled by using the lights Red attracts them and Green Repels them."

"WOOO! SEE BUDDY, THESE BUGS BURN JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE."

"THAT SOUNDS LIKE COWARD TALK. LETS DO THIS."

>>16865779

Clyde, I'm going to need another ammo restock after this.

Hare, erect the LT a new pair of striders!

Corporal Varro's characteristic world-weary grimace turned to a slightly-less-unoptimistic frown as his squad grabbed fresh slugger magazines from the new staging area in the lab and recovered their injuries.

"Alright, it's been a slog so far and it doesn't look like it will let up anytime soon. But let's remember that we are Ragnyll's front line against monstrosities like these... creatures. And what's more, if anything we find down here can help us destroy the Voss high command that has plunged us into war and break this curse, then the bloodshed will have been worth it. Let's get back out there!"

Glenn flicked his beret back into place over his tousled hair and grinned. "Damn. Lay off with the speeches already, Patton."

Kayle merely sighed and snapped the bolt carrier home on a fresh slug in her rifle.

"On it sir." Hare signals to his men who pull out their kits and start setting up. He then turns to Springer. "Try not to break them too much."

>>16865779
"Ok you dumb bug, I'm the new chief, you follow me and you get enough easy biomass to take over a planet."

>>16866058

"Lily, try telling it to take you to the brain bug! I think it's afraid!"

>>16866043

"No promises. The job of a Strider pilot's never been a safe one."

>>16866084
"Brain bug? I don't see no brain bug from where I am. Only three potential recruit for my bug squad."

>>16866098

Hare sighs, then grins fiercely. "Barring that, give 'em hell?"

All units be advised, Monday Hard Mode is being initialized. We are at 100% committal. There will be no quarter.

Let this be a glorious day, to be remembered throughout the annals of history.

try posting anyway, officer orders tend to give some leeway with regards to time limit

"...Finch? You still with us mate?"

" Can you hear me ? "

" I have given you access to the PA system to guide the Zombies, it seems your first impression went off smoothly. They may attract to those similar to them. Your best bet is to let them. Otherwise those on their lonesome may be able to join you. For now I will take some with me to the rift. Please watch my back. "

>>16867369
"Alright toots so we can just issue orders through the PA system, so tell me what can these zombies do?"

>>16867319
"Alrighty! Mama Isane is back and I brought the bigger guns!"

Looking around, she notices the friendly zombies mixed in with the group, especially the one that appears to have grown fond of her.

"Oh, I see I missed something..."

rolled 10 = 10

"OK, THAT ONE IS A BIT BIGGER THAN EXPECTED..."

"I told you this was a bad idea."

"SHUT UP."

>>16867319

"Well this is certainly interesting." Paisley blinked, looking as the zombie shoulders shambled out of the red tubes.

"So...can they understand us?" Hadley cocked her head as she eyed one, oddly bathed in the green light of the flares.

"...no clue."

Late night bump.

Uh, I kind of fell asleep after the last action phase last night. Anybody know what happened here?

>>16869592

I'd tell you if I knew, man. This...this was something we all did not expect. At all. There should be some indication as to what happened to everyone, but the evidence isn't adding up. We're missing something important.

>Our guns are on the floor, but there's no blood or bones to indicate we were 'nommed.
>Seven squads, pretty much over half of Hellghast's fighting strength, disappeared within the length of a phase, replaced with roaches.
>Mary Susan has taken the field, and most of us have left in that same timeframe.

It really could be anything at this point. Portals, were-xenos, time travel--it's up in the air as to why we've all left.

Apparently OC has this to say about the situation so I'm gonna post it for everyone's consideration:

" Those who want to live should probably report like normal as if I didn't show them this image "

So there's that. We might start at 8-9 est , depending on whether the CO's are on at those times.

>>16869937
Wait, hellghast lost not even two full platoons and that's half it's strength?

"I AINT FUCKING DONE HERE. WHAT'S YOUR ORDER MAJOR."

>eta ~30 minutes, keep on your toes gentlemen.

By the by, the operating theory is the bugs have mind-tricked us into thinking we/our comrades are bugs. Hold off on shooting bugs in the last known position of an ally.

The nuke having been detonated, the hive destroyed, now all they had to do was survive the rest of the trip.

Spots another glint of green like the light which passed earlier, the Lieutenant urges his Bitank up once more before heading toward that light. He was sure he saw the dark shadow of a bug move across it and he would find out soon enough.

Hell yeah! Now let's kill the rest of 'em!
Secure the library and storeroom! Time to find some way of lifting the death curse!

It seems theres nothing left here but cannibalistic insects, now.

I do think that problem will fix itself. Unfortunately, hinzerhaus has been completely gutted but now enjoys a controlled rift.

All in all, a net gain.

"Did we...did we win?" Womack looked back at the bleeding bug that had been spattered on the wall behind them in their last moments.

"I think we did." Paisley let out a smile that turned into a grin. "We did, man!"

"Hell yeah!"

"Um, guys? I think we have other problems to attend to." Hadley motioned to the other guys about the futuristic BiTank that had appeared from the gate right next to them.

Womack let out a whistle. "Now wouldja look at this girl. All the bells and whistles--mm!" He shook his head.

"I suppose we should figure out whose in it." Paisley picked up a small rock by his feet, flicking it at the side of the tank turret. "'Scuse me! Tank pilot? Who are you, and where are you from?"

"That was one really pretty light show you just made there. Um. Cool stuff."

Well as per agreement, whatever has been salvaged of the situation is yours. As well as the prematurely activated stock of zombies. A russian timetraveller, and your elven friend there.

There's also a dead vampire hunter on the floor if you want it, along with what's left of the library. I hope there are clues there about Thanatos.

However, if you would like, Hinzerhaus can be repaired with your help. And whatever gets built in this basement is free for you to use.

That is if you're willing to let me work with more ghouls in the near future.

After a heavy landing within the Hinzerhaus basement Ghoul regains his barrings within the BiTank. Smoke swirled about the large man as he looked about not entirely sure of his surroundings.

"Well that was weird...."

He notices Sergeant Paisley talking to his fellow Demomen, the Russian whistles down at the group to get their attention.

"Hey, what the hell is going on? I heard some crazy shit on my comms and figured there was bacon to be made."
