>>25293634
>>25293602
Isn't operations really the best place for info? Probably has cameras and other security info.

>>25293405
>>A. Operations.

You Step into the ventilation shaft which takes you through the operations section of the facility. Your teammates follow behind you.

You slow your crawl as you hear two guards walk past your position below you. Your keen mask sensors pick up their conversation.

"So what do you think is jamming our comms?"

"No clue, man. But we're blind down here. Know what I heard from the gearheads? No AA, no radar, and no sensors. No link to HQ either."

"Shit, that's rough. Can't wait to bag the fucker that's responsible for this."

You quicken your pace as they pass by.

The passage opens wide in front of you and is split into two directions.

The left is marked "Security Station" and the right is marked "Command Room".

Which way do you go?

A. Towards the security station.
B. Towards the command room.

>>25293634
>>25293646
Ach! Sorry guys... typed up the response when A was the only vote.

>>25293649
It's also occupied by guards.

>>25293651
Security station. How can the command call for back up when here is none?

>>25293651
>A. Towards the security station.
Time for some sabotage.

>>25293651
>A. Towards the security station.

>>25293651
Security Station as well.

>>25293685
Agree with this anon.

>>A.

Also voting for the security station. Hopefully we'll see some camera feeds there.

>Preemptive vote: Investigate the area with the scrambled footage

>>25293691
>>25293685
>>A. Towards the security station.

You turn and proceed towards the security station. You stop in front of the ventilation opening overlooking the large, electronics filled room. Several large arrays of monitors show what looks to be footage fed from security cameras around the facility.

Four human guards sit in front of them, eyeing each feed carefully.

You listen carefully to their conversation.

"You think it's another one of those things?"

"Fuck, I hope not."

"Well who else could it be? We lose contact with one of our surface team and all of a sudden, bam, everything's jammed."

"Shut your mouths, you two, and keep looking. He's in here somewhere."

With that, the guards return to sheepish silence.

Do you:

A. Stealthily exit the vent system and deal the with the guards. (DC: Medium-Easy)
B. Remain still and use your vision mask to zoom in on those monitors, to see if you can spot anything.

>>25293831
B

Looks like they're onto us.

>>25293831
>A. Stealthily exit the vent system and deal the with the guards. (DC: Medium-Easy)

>>25293831
B. No need to be too hasty, and it can't hurt to take a look at the monitors.

>>25293831
B

>>25293840
Sounds more like they are on to Ashen-Blade. We certainly didn't take out a surface team.

>>25293840

Not really, they were talking about the what's causing the jamming and our target. They don't know we're here yet.

>>25293831
B.
Let's not rush into things.

>>25293849
seconded

There's a fair chance that these guys are after our pal. We should thing their numbers when we are able, and there are only four humans here. Nothing to fear.

>>25293866

Unless Weyland-Yutani is accepting job applications from Swamp fis.

>>25293831
A, assassin time.

>>25293831
>B lurk

>>25293909
That's an equal opportunity employer for you!

I'd like to have been present for that interview.

If he's still not writing you can change my vote to A, but it doesn't matter since we'll probably jump out in a sec anyway.

>>25293840
>B. Remain still and use your vision mask to zoom in on those monitors, to see if you can spot anything.

You zoom your vision mask in on the sets of monitors, and begin to make a survey of the facility.

You focus in on one of the feeds in the lab section. You distinctly make out the silouatte of a Yautja restrained in one of the operating benches.

Do you:

A. Retrace your steps and head to the lab area.
B. Stealthily drop in and dispatch the four guards. (DC: Medium)

>>25294033
B

We should eliminate the security room while we're here. Nobody watching the cameras will make the rest of the op that much simpler.

>>25294033
>B Don't want any surprises when you're eliminating the command center.

Awesomeness levels have gotten too high. Now the program is starting to bug out and wrap around to the negatives.

>>B. Stealthily drop in and dispatch the four guards. (Critical Failure)

You slowly slither out of the vent and drop silently to the floor below, while still cloaked. Your teammates follow suit. Once all three of you are in the room, you raise your wrist-blade and jam it square into the back of one of the guard's head.

Beside you, Sharp-Strike impales one with his combi-stick while Burning-Scythe dispatches another with a quick twist of the neck. You grip the shoulder of the last guard and trust your blade into the back of his neck.

He twitches for a moment, and somehow, by sheer luck or willpower, he slams his fist on the alarm in his death struggles. Red warning lights suddenly flash, and a loud alarm begins to blare.

You hear shouting and footsteps pounding down the hall.

Do you:

A. Turn head back into the vent.
B. Hold your ground and defend the security room.
C. Burst out into the hallway and fight your way through the reinforcements. (DC: Medium-Hard)

>>25294291
Only one thing to do now.

B.

>>25294291
Oh, that wasn't bad at all.

B.) Kill 'em all!

D. Destroy the security feed.

>>25294291
B)

Have one person on the monitors to see if anything changes with the fellow strapped down in the lab. The others can take out the humans as they come.

>>25294345
agreed

>>25294291
A and mine the room as we leave

>>B. Hold your ground and defend the security room.

You extend your combi-stick with a flick of your wrist and adopt a combat stance.

The door slides open with a whine and dozens of metallic balls bounce into the room. A splie second later, they explode. Some are filled with chaff, whcih fill the room with small metallic flakes and disrupting your cloak. Others are filled with blazing hot smoke, which blinds your IR. Still others release sharp EMP pulses which temporaily renders your targeting systems inoperable.

They are preparing to charge.

Do you:

A. Burst out of the room and fight away from the chaff and smoke. (DC: Medium-Hard)
B. Stay where you are and take them in melee. (DC: Hard)
C. Try to return to the ventilation systems.

>>25294345

>>25294461
A

Probably should have seen that one coming.

>>25294461

>>25294461

B, RIP AND TEAR.

>>25294498
That'd end the quest.

>>25294461
B. We'll have better luck actually, since they just blinded themselves in this smoke and chaff.

>>25294461
I know it says hard on B, but logically we'd be at the advantage staying in the smoke when the humans charge in.

>>25294480
A looks to be ahead. Roll!

>>25294498
Presumably because any explosive sufficient to particularly inconvenience a Predator would also destroy anything of value in the room, such as all this expensive and vital security equipment.

Also, its Wey-Yu. They probably want us alive, for evil science reasons.

>>25294609
But there's a shit ton of cover? And it's a room besides! Drop prone, or hug a wall!

It just makes less sense that running in to the guns is safer than taking cover and ambushing them in a smoke filled room.

>>25294461
B.

>>25294623
I don't get why you find it so hard to wrap your head around why shooting blindly into a narrow, cramped space full of people is harder than shooting someone who's trying to stab you in the face with a spear.

>>25294650
It's not an ambush. What they won' be expecting is (three?) full grown Yuatja jumping out of the room right after they blew it to complete shit.

Anyways, stop this shitposting.

>>25294580
>>A. Burst out of the room and fight away from the chaff and smoke. (Pass, VS. DC 16)

Not wanting to be trapped, you take the tactical initiative and rush outwards, You skewer the nearest guard through the chest and turn deftly into the hall way. Behind you, you hear the thrumming of Burning-Scythe's plasma pistol as it discharges into another.

You turn and see several rows of disciplined guards arrayed in perfect formation, guns at the ready, near the end of the hallway.

You howl in defiance. A shout of "OPEN FIRE!" sounds from their ranks. You suddenly feel dozens of needles thumping into your body. You look down, and pull the projectile from your waist. It resembles a small syringe.

You suddenly feel a heavy fatigue threatening to overcome you.

You sink down to one knee. You look up and notice the guards reloading their rifles.

Do you:

A. Charge them with everything you've got and try to close in melee. (DC: Medium-Hard)
B. Order your teammates to break out while you block the hallway as best you can. (DC: Easy)
C. Try to take out as many of them as you can with your spear gun. (DC: Medium-Easy)

>>25294685
"Wah, OP has a different conception of danger in his thread than I do. I'm going to bitch about it and annoy everybody!"

>>25294685
"They won't expect us to charge their gunline!" Is the STUPIDEST thing I've ever read.

>>25294671
Three huge ass yautja woop wooping through the door is WAY more easily shot than three yautja hiding around a room forcing them to advance and getting cut down.

>>25294722
A is the only way I see us coming through this with our asses in tact. It'll be a rough roll, but that's my vote.

>>25294722

A, RIP AND TEAR.

>>25294722
Wait, a success was rolled. How come we got shot?

>>25294722
A, unfortunately.

Humans want to engage at range. We'll kill a bunch of them if we shoot, but in an old-fashioned shootout their superior numbers will give them the edge. If we can close the distance we'll have a distinct advantage.

>>25294722
>B. Order your teammates to break out while you block the hallway as best you can. (DC: Easy)

>>25294772
We succeeded, but that doesn't mean that it was the end of this encounter. We didn't die there, and we didn't get grievously injured. That's a success in my books.

>>25294798

>>A. Charge them with everything you've got and try to close in melee. (Pass, vs. DC 15)

You gather your strength and howl in defiance. You throw your combi-stick forward and impales their command through the chest. In three bounding leaps you're upon them, and cut two down with your wrist blades. You wrench your spear from the commander's corpse and draw an arc across the hall, slicing two more soldiers in half.

A fist suddenly slams you in the chest. You turn to face a synthetic. He puts a knee into your belly, draws a pistol, and puts two more darts point blank into your waist.

You slowly feel the strength draining from your body.

Suddenly, the synthetic's head explodes in a burst of milky fluid. A human, draped from head to tow in a black bodyglove slices into a second synthetic with his knife while firing a burst of slugs into several guards with his sub-machine gun. He pulls the knife from the synthetic's eye socket and flings it down the hall, killing another guard.

He takes something from his belt and jams it into your chest. You feel something enter your body and your head suddenly clears, the lethargy slowly draining from your body.

Several more guards thunder down the hallway. The black-clothed human fires a burst towards them.

Do you:

A. Run and aid your teammates.
B. Stay here and hold off the reinforcements with your new ally.

It's a reference to a Callidus Assassin that bones... I think it was Eldar?

>>25295101
Vindicare, actually. Hmmm...now someone needs a lesbian Callidus Eldar story.

>>25295003
>>B. Stay here and hold off the reinforcements with your new ally.

You raise your spear gun and plant a spear solidly into the chest of an oncoming guard. The human empties his magazine into a second guard, and draws his pistol.

He points to you, and says, in heavily accented Yautja, "Too many. You - go. I, hold. I, follow."

You step back and fire two more spears, while turning to join. Burning-Scythe and Sharp-Strike.

You notice Sharp-Strike has taken a bullet in his left leg, and is limping as a result.

The human begins to fall back as well, as more and more synthetics begin flooding the hallway with lethal bullets.

The human draws something from behind his back. It's a long cylinder. He smashes his palm into one of the ends. The entire facility suddenly quakes, and the lights are suddenly extinguished. A moment later, they are replaced by a dim red hue.

The human leads you into nearby room and smashes the locking mechanism with the butt of his pistol. He looks down, and notice blood seeping from his shoulder. He's wounded.

Do you:

A. Ask him who he is, in Yautja.
B. Help him dress the wound.
C. Point your speargun at his head.

>>25295123
>A. Ask him who he is, in Yautja.

A and B are fine with me.

>>25295123

He speaks Yautja, and he's murdering Wey-Yu. He's probably one of Ashen-Blade's bros

>>25295123
B.

>>25295123
B. Help him with his wound while whispering sensually in Yautja.

>>25295181
>>A. Ask him who he is, in Yautja.

He points to a first aid kit hanging from the wall. You rip the case off and toss it over to him. "Who are you?" You ask.

"Mickey. Sergeant. Warrior. Marines. Yautja friend ask. I come. Yautja friend save life. Owe honor."

He points a finger at you. "I. Plan. Good plan. Two weeks. Save friend. You come, you ruin plan."

Burning-Scythe finishes helping Sharp-Strike with the wound and scans the wall with his visor beam. He turns to you. "Lots of activity outside, but disorganized. What did you blow up?"

"Reactor. No power. Must move now. Save friend." He stands up.

Do you:

A. Ask him whether he knows where Ashen-Blade is.
B. Ask him whether he knows what's jamming the comms.
C. Ask him what ship he came in.

>>25295200
>>25295181
>>25295169

I took these three to mean A. In retrospect should have went B, but it's not a major difference.

>>25295280

A. His friend is probably Ashen-Blade. Let's keep it short and save the Yuatja we saw captive in the labs. Since the generators are out now the faster we move the greater our chances. Now that the alarm is raised we need to be quick.

>>25295280
A)

>>25295280
A

>>25295280
A of course. Finding Ashen Blade is top priority

>>25295343
>>A. Ask him whether he knows where Ashen-Blade is.

"Your friend - Ashen-Blade? Where is he?"

"Yes," he replies, while slowly prying open one of the side doors. "Lab. No questions. Later. Now, must go."

You glance at Sharp-Strike. "Can you walk?"

"Yes," he says. And proves it by standing up. There's a noticeable limp in his gait, but he's able to keep a good pace.

You follow Mickey through one of the rear passage ways, which curve around the security room and leads straight into the lab.

As you come to the next set of passageways, you slowly lean outwards from cover to notice several sets of patrols pacing ahead.

You glance at Mickey's shoulder and Sharp-Strike's leg.

Do you:

A. Have them hold while you scout ahead to dispatch the patrols quietly.
B. Take Burning-Scythe and assault the patrols head on. (DC: Medium-Easy)

>>25295425
B, stealth is more or less a moot point now.

>>25295425
B. We want this done quickly. We can't waste time tacticooling around. Ashen-Blade is at risk

>>25295500
>>B. Take Burning-Scythe and assault the patrols head on. (Pass, DC 9)

You signal Burning-Scythe. He raises his plasma pistol and acknowledges. The two of you erupt from cover.

He charges up his shot and fires, catching two synthetics in its burst. You take aim and kill a third with your spear gun before the rest reacts.

They raise their rifles and begin to fire in your direction. Burning-Scythe fires a few bursts of plasma-bolts over their heads while you push forward and advance. You rise from cover and take another down with your spear gun.

Burning-Scythe takes down two more with his pistol as they turn to flee.

You signal your team, and together, you push forward.

You stop in front of a bulkhead gate, solidly shut. Mickey examines the locking mechanism. "Damn!" He speaks in his human tongue. He turns to you, and says in Yautja, "Locked. Only way in."

You examine the door. You suspect you may be able to cut your way in.

Do you:

A. Try to cut it open with your disc. (DC: Medium)
B. Try to pry it open with your spear. (DC: Medium)
C. Have Burning-Scythe try shooing it with his pistol on full charge. (DC: Medium-Hard)

>.A. Try to cut it open with your disc. (Pass, vs. DC 10)

The disc hums as the blades begin to spin. You depress the saw edge into the thick door. White-hot sparks burst forward as the spinning blade makes contact. You slowly press the disc into the metal, and fortunately, it manages to cut through, though with some difficulty.

You slowly draw the blade downwards, and begin to cut the door apart.

"Incoming!" You hear Sharp-Strike roar. A round suddenly pings off the door next to your hand. You turn to see several synthetics taking cover on the far side of the passage.

You estimate it'll take you another minute to cut down the door.

Do you:

A. Pause and deal with the intruders first. (DC: Medium)
B. Continue cutting while your teammates hold them off.

>>25295766
A
We would be sitting ducks if we didn't.

>>25295795
Crap I meant B.

>>25295766
B

>>25295791
Which is exactly why we need to get through that door as quickly as possible.

B. Our teamates have this, if more humans show up this will take forever. Time is a factor in this.

Looks like 2 A 2 Bs.

Tiebreaker please"!

>>25295791
>>25295818
Meant B. Fucks sake, I should stop posting. 2 votes in a row now.

Is our high-yield plasma caster inoperable?

>>25295839
B wins. No roll needed. Writeup incoming.

>>B. Continue cutting while your teammates hold them off.

"Hold them off!" you instruct your team, as you put your attention into cutting the door down.

Beside you, you can hear the crackling of Burning-Scythe's pistol, the chatter of Mickey's gun, and even the occasional whine of Sharp-Strike's plasma-caster.

You patiently make one full revolution with your disc. You bowl your shoulder into the center of your cutout and the heavy plate falls over.

You stash your disc and turn. You check to see if your targeting systems have rebooted from the EMP, and after making sure it has, begin to fire at the assaulting guards.

"Go!" You roar.

Your teammates duck behind you and enter through the hole you have cut out. You fire two more shots and duck through to the other side yourself.

Do you:

A. Continue your way down the passage ahead.
B. Throw a few mines around the broken door.

>>25295879
B

Have fun with these you assholes.

>>25295879
C. Pause to grab your hat from the other side of the hole.

Then B, seems fast enough.

>>25295896
We can remote detonate/deactivate the mines I'm fairly sure.

>>25295896
wouldnt they be keyed to not blow their owner up?

>>25295879
B.

>>25295879
B.

>>25295904
>>25295908
>Lets toss mines because they'll serve as a deterrent alone - the enemy wouldn't ever dare get close to them for the mere threat that they might blow up.

You forget that they have synthetics that would gladly set off the mines if ordered to do so, possibly screwing our only exit.

>>25295891
>>B. Throw a few mines around the broken door.

As you reach the other side, you thumb your mine dispenser a few times and scatter several mines around the entrance. Wasting no time, you continue to press forward.

You run past a series of sterilized rooms, you notice a variety of specimens trapped within, in various states.

Suddenly, as you glance at a room on your right, a black beast leaps towards you, and smashes itself against the glass wall between you and it. You see several more hard-meat drones running within.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me, " you hear Mickey whisper under his breath in his native tongue.

You see a panel nearby, and a button labeled "Emergency Specimen Disposal".

Do you:

A. Put a remote mine on the glass wall.
B. Hit the button.
C. Leave it and keep going.

>>25295965
This, if our demolitions expert burning scythe didn't do it, it might not be the best idea for us to do it.

>>25295879
A)

>>25295965
>Lets toss mines because they'll serve as a deterrent alone - the enemy wouldn't ever dare get close to them for the mere threat that they might blow up.

I have no idea where you got that from my post, I want to plant the mines so they explode and reduce the amount of enemies we face, if those said synthetics are ordered to do so, then great, thats less we have to fight

>>25295975
B

goddamnit WY

>>25295975
A. If we're in a tight spot setting that thing free could be a good distraction.

>>25295975
B

No Weyland.

Bad Weyland.

Weyland srsly.

>>25295975
B
No risks

>>25295975
B. No traces.

>>25295975
B, set to release it only.

>>25296028
Ah fuck I meant

A. Put a mine on the glass.

>>25295995
>>25296000
>>25296015
Guy's they'll kill it, it will slow them down though.

>>25295985
>>B. Hit the button.

You slam the button with your fist. Several sentry guns drop down from the ceiling and begin to open fire on the drones beneath.

You waste no time in watching the results.

In front of you, Burning-Scythe stops next to the last room in the long hall way and shouts, "Here!"

Simultaneously, you hear a series of explosions trigger behind you. You glance to see several figures advancing down the passage.

Burning-Scythe slams his wrist-blade into the door and pries it open. You rush inside to find Ashen-Blade stripped and strapped to an operating table. he looks to be unconscious.

You take your disc and cut the metallic bindings holding him in place. Mickey rushes over and gives him a shot of antidote.

Ashen-blade stirs, and slowly sits up. He looks around, and shakes his head. "Three-Claw?" he mutters.

"We must go," Mickey tells you, and points to the passage outside.

Ashen-Blade takes a few steps and shakes his head, attempting to clear it. "Where's my gear?" He asks.

"Somewhere in the lab," Mickey tells him.

Do you:

A. Try to track down Ashen-Blade's gear
B. Tell him you need to escape the facility first.

>>25296071
How valuable is his gear? Anything state-of-the-art that can't be easily replaced or will give the humans even more of an edge than normal?

>>25296071
A

>>25296071
A

The cat may already be out of the bag thanks to Night-Star, but we still shouldn't be leaving Pred tech with the humans.

>>25296071
A

>>25296091
Both.

>>25296091
>>25296102
>>25296071
A

>>25296071
A.

>>25296071
A.

>>25296091
you never want to put Yautja tech in the hands of a human, unless they have been accepted by a pack to hunt with them

>>25296071
Looks like A, get the gear.

A

>>25296091
Predators carry honor devices so that humans cant get their hands on our gear. Whatever the fuck his name is being taken to the empress on DEAD FUCKING SILENT high treason charges for giving humans yaujta tech.

His gear is *pretty fuckin important*.

Also OP it seems like there's either a new mod or janitor who has been setting a bunch of quests to permasage, I'm not sure if your thread will end up targeted or not, but it might be a good idea to keep a watch of where it is on the board.

>>25296097
>>A. Try to track down Ashen-Blade's gear

"I'll look for it," you tell him. You switch your vision mask to tech mode, and find a strong signature down a secondary hallway.

"Wait here," you tell your teammates.

You quickly cross to the other side and sprint down the hallway. You follow your tech vision which leads you into an adjoining room. As you enter, a bullet suddenly pings off the door frame.

You look to see a terrified scientist holding a pistol at you. His heart is beating quickly, and his hand is trembling hard.

Do you:

A. Blow him apart with your plasma caster.
B. Rush over and disarm him, but leave him alive.
C. Impale him with your combi-stick.

>>25296195
B. he aint no honourable kill

>>25296195
A, he might be pathetic but he knows too much about Yatuja tech.

>>25296195
>B

>>25296188
It seems to be on the front page for the time being, though it may be a good idea to archive soon

>>25296195
Why did I laugh at how he has no DC for attacking him to show how pitiful he is?

C.

>>25296195
C

Little shithead sealed his own fate when he decided to attack us, he mad himself fair game. Plus he's a scientist, and killing Wey-Yu scientists is never a bad thing.

>>25296206
He's unarmed, but he works for wey-yu apparently, and as this is more of a 'terminate with extreme pred-judice' mission with a side note of 'if you kill a warrior you can take trophies', murdering him would be perfectly allowable.

>>25296195

>B

Disarm. No honour in slaughter. Also, ask the scientist about what the fuck WY is doing with Yautja tech and prisoners. Was Ashen-Blade experimented upon? We don't want predaliens running around.

>>25296195
C, he knows!

Aim for brain so no memory farming.

>>25296195
B. He's no target.

Rolled 7

>>25296195
C. We would have spared him had he not fired his weapon.

>>25296224
NO TIME FOR QUESTIONING / CAPTURING WE GOTTA GO FAST!

Didn't the Honor Code say that beings that can't hurt us are not targets to be hunted, and doing so is extremely dishonorable?

Because this dude CAN hurt us.

Still voting for B.

>>25296221
Wait, no he's not unarmed. At this point really, he's fair game.

>>25296195
C. Knows too much. Seen too much.

>>25296195
C.
We are hunters, but this is war.
In war, there are is always collateral damage.

>>25296226
>>B. Rush over and disarm him, but leave him alive.

You rush to his position, grip the pistol, and tear it away from him. You leave him to his pathetic mewling as you track down the source of the tech emissions. You find a large storage chest to the far wall. You slice through the lock and pry open the lid to find a full set of war gear neatly cataloged. You slam the lid shit and hoist it over your shoulder.

As you turn to leave, you notice a series of data chips sitting on a nearby desk. They are video recordings of experiments. You take the most recent one and play it back with your monitor.

To your horror, you realize you're looking at a recording of Ashen-Blade, strapped to an operating table. A Weyland scientist is pressing what seems to be a hard-beat facehugger onto the warrior's face.

The recording ends there.

Your spine chills. You look at the date of the recording. It was less than seven hours ago. If you can get Ashen-Blade to a surgical pod, quickly, you may be able to save his life.

You quickly make your way back to your team.

I fucking knew it. Predaliens, here we go.

>>25296301
We should've killed that scientist. wtf, guys. seriously

>>25296301

Grab that scientist. He will undo what WY did to Ashen-Blade or die trying,

>>25296333
>>25296350
I didn't see the last 2 Cs at the time of writing and didn't notice someone changing their vote.

I'll open with a re-vote on how to deal with the scientist at the start of the next session.

>>25296333
Seeing something like this I wouldn't be suprised for Three-Claws to just go pure full on hulk smash with anger.

I recently re-read an AVP novel and a bunch of unblooded lose the blooded warriors taking them on a hunt, so they act stupid and kill all sorts of everything - including humans which are restricted solely to blooded warriors (unless special circumstances like sharp-strike), and they take trophies from them. Upon a blooded warrior finding them with human trophies in their possession, he gets so angry that he beats the ring leader to a violent death the second he notices the trophy. He them proceeds to murder all the other unblooded who took trophies as well.

Temporary Incoherent Rage is a *very* yaujta experience.

>>25296301
Great quest. Want more. Need more. In Valhalla there will be a neverending Predator Quest and all shall be well and good.

>>25296356
I say just start off with >>25296362

I mean seriously, who doesn't love Temporary Incoherent Rage?

>>25296388

Rage is all well and good, but it won't help us get the infestation out of Ashen-Blade.

>>25296429
Neither will the scientist. Humans never figured out how to remove xeno embryos without killing the host.

>>25296429
Like fuck it wont - all we need to do is murder our way out of this bitch and make a run for our ship.

With sufficient rage all things are possible.

>>25296449

Well, the Prometheus medpod could do it...

>>25296429
we can take care of it on our ship. The human needs to be turned into paste

blood for the blood god

>>25296459
That also wasn't a xenomorph baby.

>>25296449
We are not humans, and that might not even be canon here.

>>25296489
>We are not humans

Uhhh, yeah. Exactly. So we should just kill the human, who very likely has knowledge we don't want humans having, and be on our way so we can deal with the problem.

>>25296502
agreed.

>>25296502
pretty much this, we need to leave as little evidence here as possible yet get to our ship as fast as possible, that means killing this scientist and running the fuck out of here throwing mines every which way

The only way Ashen-Blade will live is if we get him to our ship's medpod fast enough, while destroying evidence here on the way out would be good, we might not have the luxury of time here, we still have our ships awesome guns and torps we can reduce this facility to a crater with, so as long as we get Ashen-Blade to our ship ASAP we're good

>>25296502
But there's no honor in that.

>>25296571
Now is not the time to fuck around worrying about honour, we are not here on a hunt, we are here for Ashen-Blade and info surrounding his mission and its results, if we fuck around with honour and take too long he will die.

Right now, we are not a hunter, but Opredator, we have no care for honour or trophies, there is only the mission, and not even swamp tentacle FIS can stop us.

>>25296502

This scientist needs to be interrogated. We may get information on other WY facilities where they're doing experiments on yautja, and other scientists that need to be eliminated. And if we know how they did the implantation process it could improve the medpod's success.

>>25296571
Yaujta are about honor in the *HUNT*. This isn't a hunt here, this is a rescue operation and we've been sanctioned by the clans to terminate with extreme prejudice. Wey yu is fucking around with things that they shouldn't be, and despite several anons around here wanking about 'honor', yaujta see it as perfectly acceptable to BEAT A LIVING BEING TO DEATH for either A) challenging him, B) being too stupid to live, C) fucking around with things he shouldnt, D) pissing you off.

And I mean 'living being' in the context of 'member of the same species as you'. Normally yaujta would ignore something like a harmless human, but "I was really, really, *REALLY* fucking angry after I saw what they had done" flies as a perfectly justifiable excuse to practically *every* matriarch, who usually has to listen to someone complain that a master hunter beat one of their children to death for not listening to him over something.

Yaujta are as a rule, generally not very merciful.

>>25296603
>And if we know how they did the implantation process it could improve the medpod's success.

THEY STUCK A FACEHUGGER ON HIS FACE

WHAT IS THERE TO UNDERSTAND?

We gain very little from keeping these humans alive, all it does is take away valuable time we need to save Ashen-Blade's life

>>25296603
We don't have time to fuck around with that. Chestbursters can pop FAST, especially if the host is under stress. Any time spent trying to get info out of this schmuck is time for the embryo to grow.

>>25296603
You're being kind of retarded here. There is nothing important to gain from an interrogation of this scientist that we could not datamine from a synthetics head, furthermore dragging the scientist around slows us down when TIME IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO SAVE OUR FRIEND BEFORE A PREDALIEN ABOMINATION POPS OUT OF HIS CHEST AND KILLS HIM.

And there's nothing fucking complex about the implantation, they stick a hugger on his face while he's knocked out.

>>25296623

Hence we grab the scientist and hightail it to the ship. Once we get the chestburster out of Ashen-Blade, we can interrogate the scientist and throw him out the airlock when we're done with him.

>>25296571
There is even less honour in getting Ashen-Blade killed because you thought this was a hunt when it is instead a mission sanctioned by the empire.

When your matriarch sends you on a mission this important, you have no care for ANYTHING other than the mission, and what is the mission?

Rescuing Ashen-Blade alive is the fucking mission, and I am not going to sit by and let you make Three-Claw fail his mission and get his friend killed because you were worried about 'mah honor'

FUCK YOU ITS SPELT WITH A 'U'

>>25296639
Yeah - lets take a prisoner in a hostile facility and worry about dragging his slow ass down and trying to give us away at every fucking opportunity when time is incredibly vital to us. We don't need him, he doesn't serve a purpose, you're being a fucking retard.

>>25296639
>Hence we grab the scientist and hightail it to the ship

Which will take more effort than merely grabbing Ashen-Blade and running the fuck out of there.

Why the fuck can't you understand this? We cannot spare the time or effort to even give a sidelong glance to a fucking queen that bursts out of a wall as we run the fuck back to our ship.

If we do not devote every single iota of energy we have to saving Ashen-Blade, that chestburster will pop, and our mission and friend will die with it.

>>25296639
I'm channeling my inner yaujta and experiencing temporary incoherent rage >>25296388 anon. I wish I could beat you to death for the sheer amount of stupid you're being.

>>25296663
Yea I agree. Kill the scientist. We must be hasty.

Next thread should be interesting.

>>25296685
and hopefully full of less humans
