Like always, you wake up rather early, before the sun even breaks the horizon. It's quite a wonder that you manage to get up so early so consistently.

The base is much quieter now, too. The artillery barrages have lessened considerably, and most of the garrisoned troops have actually begun moving out into the mountains to push out the Imperials. How successful they've been, you don't really know. You suppose that's something that you could ask Freyberg.

Well, it's still early. What do you want to do?

If we don't give her a proper Jager Sturmfuhrer hug before she goes I'll be disappointed.

>>25308480

better yet, let's go to Sam's room.

>>25308451
BIG BOSS! BIG BOSS!

>>25308480
>Say goodbye to Artya. She should be leaving soon.

Give her some sage advice. "Don't take shit from noone, make sure to always have a gun, and shoot first."

>>25308661

... I don't think that's a very good idea. I mean, she's going to be in GALLIA, our home country.

>>25308661
And if any boys try to come onto you, use pepper spray.

>>25308726
Pepper spray?

Why not just punch them in the nose, like sharks, if you break their nose they usually back off, if not you find other places to punch.

can we tell her that we think a guy named Avan has excellent loot? Please?

>>25308812
Would we know of an Avan?

>>25308812
I would, but that'd be too OOC.

>>25308685
No...it's Gallia...that's PERFECT advice. I second it.

But add in 'Always watch your back, or have someone watch it for you.'

>>25308812
We can't justify that in character. Telling her that nobles usually carry good stuff might fly, but it's iffy.

>>25308812
We wouldn't even know of this Hardins kid. Maybe Leon hardins, but unless we really talked to him then naw. Also OP doesn't want to stray from canon too far, as far as Gallia goes anyway

>>25308661
>>Say goodbye to Artya. She should be leaving soon.

Tell her to have fun.

>>25308931
and break a leg. Preferably someone else's.

>>25308867
>>25308661
"Don't take any shit from anyone, especially for being a Darcsen. Watch your your back, or have someone watch it for you. Make sure to always have a gun, and that it's in working order. Finally...shoot first.

You go, learn what you think is important, and if you come back a proper ruthless bitch with ice in your veins, gold in your heart, and a 89% accuracy rate, and there's a spot in the Demon's Hell waiting for you if you want it.

Remember kiddo, Gallia's a bloodsoaked bitch, but you grew up in a nightmare. If I don't hear that you're the scariest thing there...but not a bully...then I'm going to be very disappointed." Grin and pat her mask. "You'll do great. Have fun, and break someone else's leg."

You decide to go say goodbye to Artya, as you know she's scheduled to leave today. It had been a few days since you came back down from Somtaw, as you and Sam tried to arrange Artya's transport to Gallia. Also, you had to wait for Freyberg to verify that the partisans that were pestering his supply lines really did stop their attacks like you said they would.

It was a bit of an understatement to say that she had really grown on you and the other Demons. After all, she was pretty smart and resourceful, and was an amazing scrounger. She'd be sorely missed, but you believe that this is for the best. The kid deserved a second chance at life.

You see Sam helping Artya load her luggage into a jeep. You wave at them and they wave back.

"Hey, Cap. Here to see Artya off?" Sam asks.

"Well, of course." You nod. "Can't miss something like this."

"Well, hop in!" Sam waves you over. "The others are already waiting down on the docks!"

"Lies. They would never wake up this early." You narrow your eyes.

"Oh ye of little faith, Cap." Sam laughs.

As you drive down to the docks, you review the important life lessons Artya needed to remember in order to fit in in Gallia.

"Remember, Gallia doesn't use a barter system. We exchanged goods and services with ducats, which are those little coins and papers slips we gave you."

Arty nods.

"And there shouldn't be any Imperials in Gallia. If there are, something is very wrong and you can be we'll be there to fix it."

Artya nods.

"And not all problems can be solved with a rifle or a knife. Gallia has laws against that sort of thing."

Arty cocks her head.

NOT EVEN IF I STAB THEM NONLETHALLY

"No, Artya. No stabbing. Period."

Artya sulks but nods reluctantly.

"And watch out for guys trying to hit on you."

WHY WOULD BOYS WANT TO HIT ME? BECAUSE I'M DARCSEN?

"Uhhh, nevermind."

Meanwhile Sam can't stop snickering.

If we don't pull her into a full bear hug after that I'll be sad. I mean holding her so tight she can't move her arms and her head is forced into our chest.

It's another ten minutes to the docks, where you can see the rest of the Demons milling about. Seeing you approach, they begin to perk up. As the jeep pulls to a stop, they begin swarming Artya and saying their own individual goodbyes.

Ramirez fist pounds the "Lil' Demon" and gifts her a hatchet.

Tarin gives her a respectful nod, reminding her to keep practicing all those CQC moves she taught her.

Brillant gives her a very fancy looking compass, no doubt to aid her scouting duties.

Julia, in a rare moment of charity, slips Artya quite a large number of ducats, warning her to keep it safe and spend it wisely.

Heloise hugs Artya and can't stop crying. Alek and Train literally have to pull her off Artya. She then hands her a bag of her best caramels.

Alek awkwardly shakes her hand and wishes her luck, and gives her a scarf, in case she ever ends up anywhere cold.

Headcase gives Artya an old but sturdy guitar, telling her that music is an important part of anybody's life.

Isolde salutes Artya and gives her one of her spare dueling sabers.

Sam gives Artya a hug and hands her stack of books and papers. Required reading for acclimating to Gallia, as well as study material for Lanseal's entrance exam. You took a look at it yourself, and were shocked at how detailed it was.

Then it comes to your turn. Artya looks at you expectantly. Knowing this may be the last time you see her for god knows how long, you give her your last sage piece of advice.

Artya nods, and as a last parting gift, you give her the biggest and strongest bear hug that you can manage, literally picking her up off the ground.

"Good luck, Artya. Make us proud."

Artya nods. She scribbles down on her final note and hands it to you. But there's no words on it, just one, lovingly drawn heart.

Artya waves as she board the ship, and the Demons wave back. With any luck, her ship will reach Gallia without any incident. Plus the sea routes were mostly safe nowadays with the Imperial fleet having bee pulled back.

Finally, the ship disappears over the horizon, and your squad begins to disperse, having other duties to fulfill.

"Hey Sam, I'm headed to see Freyberg. You wanna come with?" You ask.

"Sure!" Sam hops into the jeep beside you. "Gotta make sure he doesn't try to skimp on the payment, after all!"

Driving back up to the main base, you head over to Freyberg's office, which is must less hectic than last time, but still fairly busy. Freyberg's secretary, who pretty much recognizes you on sight by now, doesn't even bat an eye as you stride past her to Freyberg's office.

As always, the general looks tired and overworked, but his shoulders sag in relief when he see's you walk in.

"Ah, good, Captain Sturmfuhrer! I thought it was another of my officers coming in to complain about something." Freyberg sighs. "Please, take a seat."

>>25309695
What's wrong?
(Can we be paid to take care of this problem?)

>>25309695
>Is something wrong?

>>25309695
"Is something wrong?" You ask, crossing your arms. "Last I checked, the war effort for Ustio was going pretty well."

"In a way, yes." Freyberg sighs, sliding his hands over his face. "The momentum is back on our side and we've managed to retake a fair bit of our territory, the Imperials are changing up their strategy. They've pulled back most of their heavier assets and have reverted to small scale skirmishes, similar to what the partisans had been doing to them. My men haven't dealt with this kind of fighting before, and they're getting somewhat... frustrated. Frustration which eventually makes its way back to me."

"So I assume you've got a mission in mind for us, then?" You ask.

Freyberg nods. "Initially, I was thinking of having you train some of my troops in how to handle small scale skirmishes, but now that you asked, I do have another proposal."

"Oh great job, Cap, you just threw away a cushy assignment." Sam rolls her eyes.

"What do you have in mind?" You ask.

"There's a particular area on our line of advance that's proven to be extremely troublesome to us." Freyberg points to a circled area on his map. "My men have taken to calling it Sniper Town."

You do realize any sniper with a brain would just leave the town for a few days or just wait out the tanks and never take a shot until they're gone.

>>25310047
>"My men have taken to calling it Sniper Town."

The doctor prescribed a 48 hour heavy artillery barrage, or until no sign of the town remains, whichever comes last.

>>25310283
But we already have a gun to use against Karla's ass...

>>25310016
please don't tell me the imps have these...

>>25310283
We just need to recruit another spy type member. A mix of Big Boss and Solid Snake. Then send him to bring Karla to us.

>>25310047
>>Sounds interesting.

Alek is going to have his work cut out for him here.

>>25310047
Just send Ramirez in, he'll be fine.

Seriously though we should be good, just make sure Julia and Headcase get their tanks loaded up with smoker dischargers.
Everybody else load up on smoke grenades.

We'll turn sniper town in Amsterdam.

"I'm not liking the sound of that..." You frown.

"You shouldn't." Freyberg sighs. "We have had problems with snipers harassing our troop movements through the area. We don't even know how many there are. There could be one skilled one, or an entire team of them. My men have tried clearing the area, but they haven't been having much luck so far."

"So you want to send us in."

"You and your men should have more experience to deal with this." Freyberg says. "Every day my men are delayed is another day the Imperials have to consolidate their positions. I'll even double the normal rate as a bonus for the extreme hazard."

At the words 'double' and 'rate', Sam's eyes light up.

"It's a tempting offer, Cap."

Useless against snipers. High caliber rounds shits all over armor like that. Hell seen some snipers take dudes out though walls.

>>25310471
"Are you sure about this, Sam?" You ask. "Snipers are pretty nasty to deal with."

"Cap, what do you think it'll make us look like if we just decide to refuse assignments just because they're hard?" Sam frowns. "It'll look bad if the guy who punched out a Belkan Knight was scared of a few snipers."

"Ah, my reputation comes back to haunt me."

"Plus, this is a good chance to fill our coffers a bit more." Sam adds. "With all that new equipment we've gotten, our cash reserves are pretty low."

"I guess so." You agree.

"General, we'll take the mission, if you triple the fee." Sam says.

"Two and half. That's the highest you'll get."

"Deal. Pleasure doing business, General." Sam smiles. "And about our last mission..."

"Ah, that's right." Freyberg nods. "I've just gotten the reports. No convoy attacks since you came back. It looks like you were right."

Your first thought is tracking down Elizabeth, who, as usual, is eavesdropping on whatever radio signals she can pick up.

"Oh, Captain, how can I help you?" She asks.

"Elizabeth, our next mission involves hunting down a sniper, or a group of snipers." You say. "I want to have an idea of what we're facing. You think you can try to find intel on any Imperial sniper units in this area?"

"Hmmmm, I can try." Elizabeth nods. "Give me a second."

Er, I mean... Let's just look at this from the reverse, right?

Imagine if some Imperial defeated and captured Jaeger. And then tried to recruit him.

Why the FUCK would Jaeger agree to that, unless it was part of a plan to escape or screw over the Imperials even more?


No, people aren't just going to join just because.

Plus -- Jaeger DOES hate Imperials. He can work with ex-Imperials. But actual Imperial soldiers? As in the very guys he'd be fighting? Why would he try to recruit them!!

Elsa "Striker" Konig
SNIPER ACE
BOUNTY: 2000 credits dead. 4000 alive.

Hailing from the harsh and rural western edge of the Empire, Elsa Konig was trained from birth to be proficient with a rifle and to move unseen. For a girl who relied on hunting to survive, such skills were a necessity.

Elsa caught the attention of the Empire when she was hired as a guide by an Imperial Prince. Impressed by her skill, the Prince inducted Elsa into the Imperial armed forces as a sniper. In the years leading up to EWI, Elsa quickly made a name for herself in the Empire as one of the Emperor's top assassins, often putting a swift end to local rebellions with one well placed bullet.

During EWII, Elsa picked up a nasty reputation since she made it a habit of always shooting the second man in line whenever she came upon an enemy patrol. Using these demoralizing tactics, Elsa has been able to stall entire offensives on her own.

Her only discernible weakness is her apparent reluctance to reposition, though she will flee once it is clear her position is compromised, which has always made it difficult to eliminate her.

Currently has at least 40 confirmed kills to her name, not counting any of the clandestine missions she has undoubtedly taken within the Empire's sealed borders.

And for God's sake, send him alone.

I love how people keep him with Jager and not only prevents a buff, but also confers an active debuff as well.

>>25311412
exactly, I doubt we could convince a die hard imperial loyalist. Now if she was a merc or someone grudingly fighting for them it'd be another matter.

Though looking at Elsa's cases, it'd likely be more a loyalist than not.

>>25311445
we take this one alive.....

>>25311445
Yeah, she's just going to eat a 88 HE to the face.

>>25311384
>never hurts to try.

My argument isn't just "the chances suck."

Rather, its more along the line of "This does not logically make sense for Jaeger to do."

It's... gah.

I'm not sure how else I can explain without just repeating myself.

This just isn't in-character for Jaeger.

>>25311401
it only works if his name is vassili zaitsev!

>>25311445
Oh bugger, I don't see anything there that we could use as a lever to recruit her.

She IS worth a lot alive though... dat bounty hot damn.

>>25311508
It's because people have this 'got to catch them all' bullshit mentally.

It really makes no sense to do this IC at all.

>>25311445
Looking good. This sounds like a job for Tarin, Brillent and alex. plus artillery.

>>25311542

To be fair, there is that delicious bounty for capturing her alive...

>>25311472
That said, capturing her for the increased bounty wouldn't hurt. unless it will, I mean. Then shoot to kill.

>>25311542
>mentally
>mentality

>>25311445

Looks kinda young to have participated in EWI...

>>25311523
yeah if we could capture her alive for interrogation on imperial plans in this front we may be able to get a really nice bonus on top of the bonus for the alive capture. risky though

>>25311401
>>25311445
>Konig
SNIPER DUEL SNIPER DUEL SNIPER DUEL

>>25311549
Send in Alek alone. We need to start abusing his potentials.

>>25311554
But at added risk to his troops. Something Jagar shouldn't be doing. It's bad enough we're hunting a sniper. Trying to take one alive? Good lord.

>>25311584
artillery support as well

>>25311584

Fairly sure his potential activates when he is alone as in far away from the others. Not alone as in flat out alone. As a sniper he should normally be far fucking away to start with.

>>25311579
>interrogation on imperial plans
Why in gods name would a sniper have plans for this front or know them... They wouldn't. Ever.

>>25311569
Merc command uses a lot of pics like that. think of it as a running gag.

>>25311554
She's still counts as alive if she doesn't have her arms and legs right?

"Interesting." You say. "Thanks for the intel, Elizabeth."

"No problem, Captain."

"Hey, can you do a favor for me and round up the rest of the Demons? We'll be leaving for Sniper Town as soon as we can arrange transport."

"Got it."

You look at you watch and see you still have a bit of time, so you decide to go visit Qyburn to see he's finally finished that special project of his.

Going back to his workshop, you see that Qyburn is absolutely ecstatic, judging from the way he is rapidly waddling toward you.

"Ah! Captain Sturmfuhrer! Right in the nick of time!" He exclaims. "I must show you the pinnacle of my work!"

"This doesn't involve chemical weapons or anything like that, does it?" You ask suspiciously.

"Of course not! This is something I know you would appreciate!" Qyburn leads you to the back of his lab, where you see that old tarp you had seen before. With one smooth motion, Qyburn pulls back the tarp. Revealing... a thing...

"Qyburn... what the HELL am I looking at?" You gape.

"My newest invention, the Buzzbomb!" Qyburn says happily.

>What the hell is it?!?!
>I assume it makes big boom?
>I've seen bigger.
>Qyburn, have you been getting enough sleep?
>Other

>>25311666
Dude, that's a little dark for VC

So we're going to put together a stealth team and pounce a sniper, right?

>>25311659

*Shrug*

It seems a bit hypocritical after his initial objections to Isolde...

>>25311681
>>What the hell is it?!?!


what...

>>25311666
We aren't Chechens.

She is best to capture alive. But hard and unlikely and because of being unlikely we shouldn't risk too much. If we get a chance though we should try of course though as long as it isn't a suicidal chance.

>>25311681
>>I assume it makes big boom?

ALL OF MY YES!

>>25311569
>>25311659
Supposed to be EWII. I have a bad habit of getting the two confused.

>>25311666
I'm pretty sure as long as she's capable of talking it counts.

Hell even if she WASN'T capable of talking we could probably make it swing provided she was technically still alive, although delivering a useless captive and then demanding the full reward might be a bit of a dick move.

>>25311681
>What the hell is it?!?!
>Qyburn, have you been getting enough sleep?

>>25311626
You have no idea how they operate do you?

Sniper teams require shittonnes of intel on their theater to work in properly, they need to know troop dispositions of both sides, terrain and all sorts of other useful shit so they can move around and get the shots they need to unmolested.

Snipers gather loads of intel, and are given loads of intel, their job requires it, so of course she would know plenty, consider the intel she would have, especially as a favorite assassin of the imps, as a bonus to the bounty for taking her alive

>>25311696
It wasn't the pic but the background that was written at first for her, if I recall.

>>25311681
>I assume it makes big boom?

>>25311681
>I've seen bigger.

(motion to our pants)

Er, before we send Aleksandr alone just because he has a Potential that gives him a slight boost...

... let's at least check on how he thinks he'd do. Because I'm not confident in him going up against somebody with a reputation like this Imperial sniper.


Besides, we might have other options. Like an artillery barrage.
Hmm, I wonder if Qyburn and Elizabeth would have any suggestions on how to deal with a sniper?

WHY DOES THE BOMB HAVE WINGS QYBURN?
AND HOW MUCH DO THEY COST, BECAUSE I WANT TWENTY,

>>25311727

You mean the fact that she was a EWI veteran like that girl?

>>25311681
>>I assume it makes big boom?

>>25311773
I meant to type in EWII. I sometimes forget to put in the second I.

>>25311726
This.

The sheer knowledge she would have alone is worth more than the bounty for taking her alive, so while we should be prepared to end her, we should try our damnest to capture her alive.

>>25311792

Ah, fair enough then.

Whelp, on with the show!

>>25311681
"what is that? I can assume it make big booms but... just what is it?"

>>25311681
>What the hell is it?!?!

As for the "Sniper Duel" We should ask our resident sniper for advice, get Elizabeth to show him the dossier, the works. Also, he is an imperial, so he might have knowledge on how they work.

>>25311681

WE OPERATION CROSSBOW NAOH?!

"Qy have you gotten enough sleep? Also what in the blue hells mate"

>>25311934

in before they are related and he kills her on the battlefield to put her soul at rest.

>>25311681
"I assume it makes big boom?" You guess. You honestly have no clue what this contraption does.

"Oh yes. Enough to level at least two city blocks." Qyburn gives a mad grin. "Thanks to my contacts, I've manged to get access to Theimer's notes, as well as the blueprints for the ISARA biplane. Amazing minds, the two of them were. Shame they died so young... Anyways, the Buzzbomb uses the same concepts that make powered flight possible. And instead of the propeller engine they devised, I developed what I call the ragnite pulse engine. I bit more unstable, but much faster. It will be able to carry a ragnite bomb hundreds of miles to its target! Accuracy might be a problem, though. I haven't had a chance to test the gyroscope guidance system..."

You just nod blankly.

"You.. have no idea what I just said, did you?" Qyburn asks.

You shake her head.

"Alright." Qyburn sighs. "In layman's terms, it's a flying bomb. Give me a set of coordinates and I can program to bomb to fly right on top of it."

"That's...amazing." You whistle.

"Yes, but it's a terrible chore to fabricate. I won't be able to make too many of them at a time."

"Well, anything you can get counts." You say.

>You have unlocked the BUZZBOMB call in asset! Once per mission, you can request Buzzbomb to attack a target area. Keep in mind it CANNOT track moving targets.

>It's AMAZING, Qyburn!
>It seems a bit dangerous...
>Other

>>25311934
Yeah, we should definitely talk to Alek and Tarin before we set out.

In terms of the actual plan, I'd say, bring Alek, Tarin and maybe 1 other scout, have 1 of the scouts lure the sniper into breaking cover, and have Alek force her to reposition, then we can cut off her escape routes by using precise artillery bombardments of certain areas, and herd her into our stormtroopers

>>25311959
>>It's AMAZING, Qyburn!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

>>25311959
>It's AMAZING, Qyburn!

Question, whose head did we shake? Are we finally losing it?

>>25311959
GODDAMN AMAZING.

But seriously I take it you don't have anything smaller scale for us on this coming missions?

>>25311934
He might even know her.

>It's AMAZING, Qyburn!

>>25311959

Give Qyburn a hug and tell him you love him in a nonsexal way.

>>25311966

Do not have fucking Alek near us this time.

He works better alone.

>>25311959
>It's AMAZING, Qyburn!
Would be great for preemptive strikes on enemy staging areas or sieges, but rather limited outside of those rolls.

Would be great in concert with a sniper/scout team, but we should keep in mind, the potential destruction for this thing is insane, we don't want to go and recreate the firebombing of Tokyo to merely get one sniper.

>>25312027
yea, you will notice how i did not say bring Jager on the mission.

or if he must go, he could be part of the blocking/capture force, far enough away from Alek to cancel out the nerf

>>25311966
I have to warn you. As it said in the dossier, she doesn't reposition. If she gets spooked she cuts and runs.

So starting off loud might be a bad idea.

>>25312029
Sweet! We just need the guy to make more. Like, at least a dozen.

>>25312029
also
>>25312017
We do not want Imp black ops trying to kidnap Qyuburn

>>25312052
>If she gets spooked she cuts and runs.
that is a reposition, and if we cut off her exits with artillery and a blocking force, where is she to go?

>>25312029
>recreate the firebombing of Tokyo to merely get one sniper.
I'm okay with that if it gets that sniper.

>>25312055
Yeah, I'd avoid revealing it until we absolutely have to.

Also, I'd suggest getting a map of the town for Alek to look at, see any stand out sniping locations.

>>25312052
alternatively, we could go with an all sneaky team, prepare an ambush, and leak some intel about a juicy target, juicy enough to get her attention, and then when she takes the bait, have our sneaky team nab her.

Does Tarin know how to make a ghille suit?

>>25312075
That is not a reposition. It's more of a rout.

>>25312055
>>25312089
agreed lets save it as a LAST resort weapon

>>25311959
"You are AMAZING, Qyburn!" You yell as you give the old bastard a bear hug. "Seriously, did I never tell you that before?"

"Many times." Qyburn smiles.

"Anyways, I need to get ready for a mission. I'll see you soon, Qyburn."

Leaving Qyburn's workshop, you link up with the rest of the Demons, who have already assembled and are ready to move out. Sam manages to commandeer a transport truck and you begin your long drive to the frontlines.

>Talk to Alek about the sniper.
>Talk to Tarin about the sniper.

>>25312114
Or just take everyone out so it can't get back to the imps.

Get his perspective, he ought to have insight into her what with him also being a sniper.

>>Talk to Alek about the sniper.
>>Talk to Tarin about the sniper.
These guys.

>>25312136
>>Talk to Alek about the sniper.
>>Talk to Tarin about the sniper.

They will need to work really closely together, so get them, jager, sam and Liz, in a tent and start brainstorming.

>>25312136
Talk to Alek and Tarin.

>>25312136

Talk to both alex and tarin. Both are experts in what they do.

>>25312136
>Talk to Alek about the sniper.
>Talk to Tarin about the sniper.

both!

>>25312146
I think they might see the huge explosion but we could use it for a night attack to cover the launch.

>>25312136
>>Talk to Alek about the sniper.
>>Talk to Tarin about the sniper.

We have no chance of succeeding if they don't work together

>>25312136
>Talk to Alek about the sniper.
>Talk to Tarin about the sniper.
Grab them both.

let's also get Qyburn to give up some Starlight Scopes. We can start sniping at night!!!

>>25312136
>>>Talk to Alek about the sniper.
>>>Talk to Tarin about the sniper

>>25312168
so we use the bomb for late dusk/night/dawn attacks?

>>25312136
>>Talk to Alek about the sniper.
>>Talk to Tarin about the sniper.

He's a former Imperial sniper with a loner complex.
She's a Darscen scout who was raised by guerrillas.
Together, they hunt snipers!

Proposal:
Alek sets up somewhere seperate from the main group, with a few others to act as a guard.

Meanwhile we take the tanks down through a somewhat open position, with Tarin acting as a lookout.

We'd have to take the risk of getting shot at, but hopefully once will be enough for Alek to find her from his angle.

>>25312136

>Talk to Alek.

>>25312136
>>Talk to Alek about the sniper.

>>25312289
Why not let Tarin act independently as well? She's pretty good at the sneaking.

>>25312344
While thats true, her lookout has saved us from a bad situation more then a few times.
Maybe after the first shot is fired.

guys....we have our super weapon...one step done

Guys guys guys, lets use her reluctance to relocate against her.

Lets get her an Alek into a sniper duel, making sure that Alek give priority to not getting hit over hitting her, then have our scouts flank around behind her once she has revealed her position.

Once Alek has her distracted, our scouts can capture her.

>>25312425
Just now? Jesus, people here must be slower than I thought.

>>25312438
yea, it took me a while

>>25312136
You decide to have a discussion with your resident sniper and your best scout. After all, maybe they'll have some ideas on how to take out Elsa.

"Alek, Tarin, I need to discuss something with you two." You say.

And you explain about Elsa and the information you gleaned from her dossier. Tarin nods sagely as you talk, while you see Alek grow paler and paler.

"Sounds tough." Tarin says. "But doable. I've taken out snipers before."

"I haven't!" Alek wails.

"Man up, Alek, you knew this had to come sooner or later." Tarin retorts.

"Hey hey, let's keep this civil." You warn. "We want a way to take out this sniper. Alive, preferably."

"Well, that's a lot tougher then." Tarin frowns. "Usually the best way to take out a sniper is overwhelming firepower... or another sniper."

"Yeah, but this one cuts and runs at the first sign of trouble. If we miss, she's in the wind."

"Well, the first thing we need is bait." Tarin says. "Snipers always look for targets of opportunity. Officers, specialists, gunners, anybody who might be special in some way. Then we'll have Alek and a scout element out in the field. We wait for the sniper to take a shot, and we triangulate her position and hopefully manage to neutralize her then."

"A-and if I can get a good look at the town, I can narrow down the possible positions she might be hiding in."

"Good, we've got a plan, then." You nod.

"The question is," Tarin frowns. "Who's going to be the bait? Me and Brillant are the fastest, Sam and Isolde are the most heavily armored, Ramirez has taken out his fair share of snipers and know how they work, or there's you, the officer."

>I think we can use [specify] as the bait.
>I'll be the bait. I can't order any of my squadmates into danger like that.
>Actually I have another plan. (other)

>>25312425

What you're suggesting is a fucking lunatic plan that puts Alek severely at risk.

Fuck no.

>>25312479
>Actually I have another plan. (other)
something along the lines of >>25312425

Lets use that weakness against her

>>25312479
we will be the bait! we will be so tasty to her!

>>25312479
>>I'll be the bait. I can't order any of my squadmates into danger like that.
Snipers go after officer's first, this is probably the best bait we can get. Plus our reputation is quite a big draw.

>>25312479
>>I think we can use Isolde as the bait.

No way she'll pass up bagging a former Belkan Knight. Plus she's easily one of the toughest here.

>>25312479
>I'll be the bait. I can't order any of my squadmates into danger like that.

This should be our head on the line and no one else's.

>>25312479
>I'll be the bait. I can't order any of my squadmates into danger like that.

>>25312479
If Jager is the bait, does Alek get the nerf from Jagers imp hater trait? if not then
>I'll be the bait. I can't order any of my squadmates into danger like that.
otherwise I say we send ramirez out there

We also have our mortar crew, in case we need it.

>>25312526
Stand second in line to make use of her quirk, we'll at least know she'll shoot at us for sure.

The problem is surviving. We got trauma plates, but what about a helmet to protect our precious brain matter?

>>25312479
>I'll be the bait. I can't order any of my squadmates into danger like that.

Can't very well ask the others.

>>25312479
>I'll be the bait. I can't order any of my squadmates into danger like that.

>>25312586
Helmets aren't very useful against bullets.

They're there to stop shrapnel and head trauma.

>>25312640
Helmets are less useful against sniper rounds. Considering those can blow holes in tanks/

>>25312479
"I'll be the bait." You say, determined. "I can't very well order somebody else into danger like that."

"Ballsy move, Captain." Tarin says.

"You don't have to do that for me!" Alek pleads.

"I'm the officer, right? No way she can resist taking a shot at me."

"You're a crazy son of a bitch, Cap." Sam says, glaring at you. Apparently she overheard your conversation.

"Come on, Sam, it's the only way to play this and you know it." You point out.

"Alright, but everybody in the main convoy goes fully body armor, then." Sam says. "Helmets included. I don't care how hot or confining those things are! And YOU, Cap, are going to take some extra armor!"

>No way, that'll make me too heavy. I need to be mobile.
>Sure, some extra armor won't hurt.
>Other

>>25312681

That reminds me, we definitely need to get Alek a Anti-Tank Rifle somewhere down the line.

It shall be glorious.

>>25312693
>No way, that'll make me too heavy. I need to be mobile.

>>25312693
>No way, that'll make me too heavy. I need to be mobile.
armor and shit to a sniper, we need to be able to move

you do know we need to run in screaming like a fucking moron

>>25312693
>>Sure, some extra armor won't hurt.

If only to avoid Sam smashing our faces in.

>>25312724
we need to be running around screaming at Ramirez to do everything, it is the only way she will know 100% for sure that we are the officer

>>25312693
>>Sure, some extra armor won't hurt.
Can't very well go without it. After all, the sniper might suspect something...

>>25312693
>>Sure, some extra armor won't hurt.

Just to note, armor is NOT for sissies.

>>25312693
>No way, that'll make me too heavy. I need to be mobile.

We're slow enough as is.

>>Sure, some extra armor won't hurt.

We can already lug Sam in armor without much issue. So a little extra pounds won't hurt.

>>25312693
>>Sure, some extra armor won't hurt.

We terrify Sam enough with our usual antics, let her have her way just this once.

>>25312693
>>Sure, some extra armor won't hurt.
We can run carrying Sam over our shoulder, I think a bit more armor can't hurt us.

>>25312693
>No way, that'll make me too heavy. I need to be mobile.
Armor always has its weakpoints and is never impenetrable. The key to not being killed by an experienced sniper is to not be hit.

>>25312693
>No way, that'll make me too heavy. I need to be mobile.

>>25312693
>>Sure, some extra armor won't hurt.

It all comes down to what we trust the dice to do better, help us move faster, or make an armor save

>>25312693
You feel a bit guilty about breaking your promise to Sam not to take crazy risks, but this was for the mission, not for your own personal crusade. So you acquiesce to Sam's demand.

"All right. give me an extra set of armor plates and hope that our target doesn't have a habit of aiming for headshots."

Soon, you're donning an amount of armor normally reserved for lancers. However, it does make you feel a bit safer, if not insanely uncomfortable. Shit, was this how Sam felt all the time?

"Heads up Demons, we've just entered Sniper Town." The truck driver warns you. "Continue at your own risk."

You all dismount the truck and get your first good look at Sniper Town, and immediately figure out why it got the name it did. Apparently, the town liked to have lots of tall towers and multistory buildings, making it a sniper's paradise. Elsa could be almost anywhere.

"Okay Alek, time to put that sniper training to use." You say. "Go for it."

"Okay.... I think I got it." Alek says. "If she's a hunter, she's only going to be in a few places. She'll want to be in place that has at least two escape routes, so we can write off the towers. Too easy to get trapped in one of those. I think I've narrowed it down to four locations."

Alek brings out a map and points them out.

"She either be in the church, the hospital, city hall, or the northern mountains."

"Okay, then we do this." Tarin draws a line through the town. "We'll take this route through the town. That way, you'll only ever be in sight of one or two the positions at most."

"Alright." You nod. "Are you sure you'll be all right by yourself, Tarin?"
