Adjutant A.I. Online. Loading mission details, Delta Phoenix.

You make back for the dropship and land at the spaceport. Your men have been instructed to disallow any boarding action until you arrive. When you do you are greeted by several men in gray suits with bowler hats and rather expensive looking pocketwatch chains dangling from their suit pockets. The first of them approaches you.

>"Evenin', miss commander of the Daluke. Governor Lakas sends his most heartfelt thanks, and has already transferred the funds to your account as promised."

You remain silent, as you know there's more.

>"However, bein' such a justice-orientated individual, the Governor noticed a bit of an anomaly in your mission as he looked it over, see. You were supposed to eliminate -three- targets. Now, we was wonderin' if you knew anything about where miss Quanah-bo-bana done got herself to."

>Awaiting input...

O look its the op who can't take some troling/bitching you doing to cry harder and leave for good if some one makes fun of you tonight?

>>26101676
"Dealing with the first three alerted the remaining target that she might be under attack next. She boarded a ship and escaped. The compound she escaped to will need more effort then the bounty warranted."

You scrape around the rather empty thought processes of the man. They had a tracking device on the dropship you hijacked and know it didn't make it to the compound.

well crap, telepath November and tell him to scramble that bug.

>>26101892
November is already aware and makes for the dropship once he senses you're aware. It'll keep them off your backs but they already know something is amiss.

>>26101860
We should probably make up how the granny knew their location was compromised and departed to elswheres.

maybe say we hijacked the dropship and that she must have left on a car or apc or something else

Does he know how the bug got on the ship in the first place? I mean it was in the middle of enemy territory.

As for what to tell them it should remain unchanged. She escaped before we could track her down. Just leave out the part where she might have gone. They have no proof WHO picked her up after she escaped and stopped in the middle of the desert.

It was one of only a few dropships available to the Don. It's been tracked for the several months he has been a thorn in the side of law enforcement.

It was originally stuck to the ship at a faked peace negotiation between Lakas and Javelito, where the former attempted to kill the latter.

>>26102036
alright good enough...

we gotta scrub that dropship clean of anything identifiable before we take it to the Hercules.

>>26102017
we only have one real ship and have yet to do any real pirating

Ok, then we stole a dropship.

Hell, it is our MO. Do mission, try to steal spacecraft.

Yes it is. every mission we've gone on personally we've tried to steal the closest aircraft.

>"Dealing with the first three alerted the remaining target that she might be under attack next. She boarded a ship and escaped. We're not sure where she escaped to, and the bounty on one target wasn't large enough to warrant tracking her down."
>"Yeah? 'At so?"

The man's phone rings. He holds it up to his ear and doesn't say a word. He doesn't realize you can hear the conversation through his thoughts. They picked up the tracking beacon on the dropship now parked at the spaceport. November has a headstart on them, and they don't suspect you to be lying to them.

>"Alright then ma'am. Enjoy yer bounty an' make sure to visit the Lakas starport for all yer purchases, eh?"

The men leave in a hurry, escorted by spaceport CMC security. You attempt to reach out to November psionically.

Guys, buy a handful of cloak reacotrs and nothign else for now.


Being able to cloak our wraiths could be rather useful.


Drop daluke in systme, launch cloak fighters, daluke leaves.
?????
Stealth air support on hand when needed.

None of the ground options are wise right now.

Hellions die too easy and jetpackfags will be worthless on board our ship.

Stealth and precision strikes are our modus operandi for the ground portion of the game-

That, and aid superiority as soon as we get it, so we cna keep a lane open to get home.


We came here tyo buy SHIPs, not shit for ground ops.


Wehn we make a plan, fucking follow it.

>>26103170
No. Stick with dedicated space craft.

Those nigger can't even cloak, and like ripping pilots in half. Huge liability.

... ask November if he thinks he can rig a lottery.

Head Engineer Guyver:
>"Sir. Like I said I can reverse engineer that reactor, it's basically a must-have. The armory would be good to increase the effectiveness of our Goliath and siege tanks if we're looking at any armored deployments in the future. The reactor would increase our marine production significantly but not much else, and we mostly lost specialists."

Sergeant Henderson:
>"We could use vultures or hellions, Boss. Hit and run is our preferred strategy an' nothin' says hit and run quite like a grenade bein' shot at you at 80 miles per hour."

CAG Mia Rodriguez:
>"We got a good amount of air power between the extra wraith squad and Valk, sir. I don't think we need any mercs to help our forces out. Obviously having stealth on even one wraith would be a huge advantage, though."

XO Sall Jamesson:
>"Honestly this place is a tourist trap, sir. Those schematics are way too expensive for how little we need them right now. Consider anything under 100 grand but anything bigger than that isn't mission critical."

>>26103332
This is a fuckign terrible idea.

If it goes south enjoy murric refusing to do any business with us, ever. Our entire plan gets shot to shit and we're running again.

Adjuntant, how much money could be made running supplies to the city planet we helped liberate, or other needy worlds?

Additionally, would the Valkyries, or Valkyries plus Hercules, be able to make supply runs and have it turn a net profit when the need to repair any battle damage/replace munitions is considered?

mmm I'm thinking we might want to get an extra cloaking device for a wraith right off the bat.

>>26103524
Fuck it just rig the lottery

>>26103524

Valkyries hold 30 men, we should be able to send everything but one home, and then send the Herc out with escorts. They can just buy replacement fuel after they jump.

>>26103557
We can do both. May as well use all of our assets.

Commander, it may be wise to plan our course of action after schematic purchases are complete.

If you intend to aid the population of New Albuquerque in overthrowing it's government it is extremely favorable to wait to make purchases.

Additionally, if you wish to make purchases and leave the planet alone for now, you may wish to commence covert operations against the Murrican government before such a time.

what do you think of this list for buying just in case something happens to this place while we are waiting to win the lotto.

go home first, load up Valkyries with marines for fast insertion if we need them, come back.

O rjust send them home and stay here while we start laying groundwork and gathering allies.


Either way, more men. OUR men. We may need them.

Plus, barney needs to burn some space mexicans. They've been very, very bad.

>>26103603
don't need to buy so many reactors. Just reverse engineer one and make multiple of that.

Don't get armory. XO said that anything over 100k wasn't worth it.

>>26103628
It'll take weeks and then we have to make them.

Which may require a starport or some other shit we do not yet have.

Let's not try to overthrow the government at the moment. Buy some tickets and have November do his thing.

Okay guys we need a game plan for this

So far everyone wants everything at the same time and its getting us nowhere so lets do this

Rig the lottery to pad our pockets before we start a revolution

Start a revolution with our ghosts

After said revolution buy schematics

May or may not give half our supplies to the revolutionaries to help spread our influence within the political process after said revolution

>>26103673
Overthrow it and we get a planet with a starport industry and ships on our side, plus the people, who are skilled workers.

All shit we can use, and murric needs.


Plus, it fits in with the strategy of uniting a few planets to give us a safe haven and support network should the dominion come calling.

The thing is, we aren't in any shape to overthrow the government and we don't have anybody else to take the corrupt government's place.

Loading possible mission parameters: Lottery Heist.

The New Albuquerque government is a coalition of Governors of the 16 cities. Governor Lakas is at the head of this coalition and in charge of the capital city. He is the primary shareholder for every major Lakas shipping, shipbuilding, resourcing, and construction company. Effectively he controls the police, military, and industrial forces of the entire planet. He is opposed by the middle and working class for abolishing welfare laws, restricting civil rights, and general corruption such as accepting bribes, extorting smaller businesses, and smuggling.

His resistance is currently weak and scattered due to the death of Don Javelito. Various rebel groups can be armed with our schematics or supplies to increase chances of success.

Success will likely result in the formation of a republic similar to that or Murric, due to the heavy influence of Murric traders and immigrants to the planet.

Risk of Detection: Low.

((Everything. You might see warhounds, diamondbacks. Hell you already have a Nomad.))

>>26103947
Fax the schematics. Fax all the schematics.

We should purchase hellions and vultures so we can send them schematics.

>>26104035
Oh, you clever bastard. Now I have to agree to buying those fucking things.


Send them ALL our schematics, actually.


In theory, couldn't we produce and ship them shit like tanks and walkers?

>>26104035
Okay, I can get behind this.

(we are right back where we started, schematic buying hah!)

>>26104004
Question, can we have Warhounds mine minerals and gas?

going back to this:

>Hellion Schematic: 40,000 Credits.
>Vulture Schematic: 75,000 Credits.
>Armory Schematic: 125,000 Credits.
>4 x Wraith Cloak Reactor, Single: 100,000 Credits.

>>26104114
Not the armory. may want to replace with Reactor instead. possibly add in jet pack.

Still wouldn't get more than one cloak reactor

>>26104149
why not?

Our production on Murric is focused on training additional medics and firebats at this time.

>>26104099
((Default Warhounds, no. But I guess you could rig some sort of super SCV if that's what you mean?))

>>26104158
Reverse engineering dumbass.

>>26104004
The world just got a lot more interesting.

Our Nomad could have anything from mine drones to seismic thumpers. Hell, the predator is a spacecraft cum point defense mode.

>>26104175
Takes weeks, might need them sooner.

>>26104161

This. Money we can lose, men we cannot. Buy them. this sort of thing is WHY we have money.

>>26104161
doesn't mean we can't switch up.

Isn't a good portion of that base supply depots? we don't need them, why not scrap and set our factory and barracks down at the SAME TIME for a change?

>>26104250
We can recycle 4 supply depots for 200 minerals, and free up enough space for the factory or barracks.

We would need to recycle another supply depot to construct an additional tech lab.

>>26104114
I have no problem with this.

>>26104291
Nah lets build all of our tech and factories on this planet after this revolution. So one is for supplies and one is for tech, not a cobbled mess. So much more organized that way

I know I just got here...but didn't I read up top that things would be way cheaper after we 'fixed the government here? Or did we decide not to do that?

Also hilarious idea with the Lottery jack guys.

>>26104567
ya the only reason we are buying some things now is to A. give the rebels some aid and B. starting on making most of are Air-force Stealth able

>>26104567
Yes, but purchasing these schematics allows us to better equip the rebels who will overthrow the government, Delta Phoenix.

At least that appears to be the general consensus.

>>26104567
We're kinda letting the government fix itself through internal violence.

>>26104567
We bought them early to send the schematics to the rebels.

>>26104607
That's not so bad I suppose...but the coupon cutter inside me is slightly saddened.

>>26104612
>>26104622

You hear the dull thud of the other ship's docking connector as it pulls away. The reactors you've purchased are safely on board, and your database has it's new Schematics.

>"Package is away, Delta. Armed a bunch of rebel monkeys to the teeth, let's see wot they do with it, oi?"

You not and step to your console on the bridge of the Hercules.

>"Ensign, commence jump to Murric."
>"Yessir. Centennial Falcon actual to Black Earl. Jump is green."

The vastness of space is replaced by the green and blue orb that is Murric and a small shiny dot that is the distant Daluke.

>"Your plan leaves me with a few questions, Delta."
You turn around, Whiskey is on the bridge with you, his arms are crossed and his thoughts are clouded to you. It occurs to you he's probably upset.

"Go ahead and voice them."

>>26104644
Problem?

>>26104644
Right um...well let's asking him what's wrong then

File: 1374208744633.jpg-(107 KB, 450x616, Whiskey.jpg)

107 KB JPG

>"I'm not sure I follow you."

He steps forward to the window of the bridge.

>"You're still a ghost. Arming people and letting them die for your gain, because the violence of others is easier than achieving your goals through peace. Stealing from the education of a crippled planet who needs skilled laborers more than anything else right now."

You step up next to him. There are still black and burning spots on the globe of Murric. Like someone took a cigar to it. Entire cities levelled in the fighting.

>"I know you have the luxury of not remembering, but I do not. We have much to atone for. Stealing and violence are not the best way to accomplish that."

>Awaiting input...

>>26104746
Its either us risking our crew or we let these guys fight their own fight with a bit of our help

>>26104746
"What do you suggest?"

>>26104746
to his objection to arming the rebels, the peaceful option would not work

>>26104746
Wait, we're stealing from the education system?
Fuck, and I thought I read it well enough to catch up...

Man, you guys can b dicks sometimes.

I'd like to avoid I'm against the selfish gain against making kids dumber.

>>26104800
Well... It's not TECHNICALLY stealing from them.
They were gonna give the money out ANYWAYS.
We're just rigging it so they give it to US.

>>26104800
>avoid
Voice too, but avoid is in that sentence somewhere.

>>26104746
We'll donate some of the money directly to Murric's re-infrastructuring.

As to the matter of the rebellion, freedom by blood is better than oppression by inaction. It's what the people want, need even.

>>26104819
You know most Lotteries don't even give out winning tickets for months, right?
At least, that's how I understand it.

>>26104776
>"After all of the people you killed because the Dominion told you they were 'corrupt', you'd think you would kill one person who actually was to save the lives of every idealist down there learning to use a C-14 we gave them. Not every revolution is violent, Delta."

>>26104826
Ooh hey, I like this. The prize is 3 million, right? We can DEFINITELY afford to give some of that away.

>>26104746
"I'm not a planner Whiskey, and I can't fix universe. I can only nudge it a bit towards a rightful state.

And I don't even know how to invest 3mil. We can do better than a pirate crew with the surplus."

>>26104845
Exactly. And without our help the rebels would either be slaughtered or never gain any headway and stay in a terrible place. Change is necessary.

>>26104840
"A peaceful revolt takes time Whiskey, and a better mind towards politicks then me. It also takes someone who wouldn't abuse all his power to STAY in power. If you don't think that man would slaughter civilians to suit his needs then you are merely being naive"

>>26104786
>"I suggest you stop to think every so often."

>>26104797
>"You know this how? Because they were oppressed by superior forces, and the only way to be free is to have equal force? You know as well as I do that a system of tyranny is only as stable as you let it be. It only has as much power as it's given."

>>26104826
>"So we're only stealing half of the money and pretending to be saints. Here I was worried about you."

>>26104881
>"There is more than one type of change."

>>26104840
Also
"Kill one? There's a whole government down there Whiskey. I'm a ghost, not a one person army. Even with all of your help."

Referring to our crew.

>>26104455
Yes, we do know this you fucking mongoloid, it was known to use when we jumped.

Read the fucking threads.

And again:
We have to split our forces.

Oh, and murric is rural and fucking full of land, we just haven't bothered to buy any more.

So why would we EVER bother building our shit here?

>>26104887
>"Are you deaf or stupid, Delta? I am telling you he needed to die - and you left his death to the teeming masses. You left them to throw themselves upon his guns in ignorance of the fact that you could've stopped all of this with one bullet."

>>26104909
let's remind him that he could have voiced this idea while we where still there

>>26104947
In during "you didn't ask you fucking junkie cunt"

>>26104909
Meh. We can go back whenever we want. Governor Lakas trusts us as the Handy-Dandy Bounty Hunter. Perhaps at a time when things are at a critical junction and his death would be the psychological and physical turning point in the rebellion.

>>26104947
>"I could've. I didn't know the plan until we were already jumping, though. It's not too late. We can still go back. But I get the feeling you're more worried about 3 million credits right this second."

>>26104909
Is it too late to go back and conduct an assassination mission?

>>26104909
"Want to take on that offer? A Gorgon is too visible, but something smaller can be arranged from Murric"

>>26104982
The rebel forces have only had our schematics for a few hours, Commander. It is unlikely that any revolution has yet to begin in earnest.

Is there any benefit for Delta to hand-hold November on the Lotto Mission so we can go put a bullet in a corrupt governors head?

>>26104999
how long will it take to get the 3 mil?

>>26104979
well then let's shoot a nigga

Could we send a cloaked Wraith and messages to rebels for refuge? Maybe Whiskey could take on this with minimal support.

>>26104994
>"If you don't care enough, fine. Give me a dropship and I'll do it myself. You don't need me for this mission anyway, you're just going to be sneaking past halfwit security guards - Although I might end up coming back to a Murric that's shooting at me."

>>26105011
We will be waiting until duskfall when security is lightest, Commander. It will be several hours.

Note that it will take time to track down and kill Governor Lakas. Perhaps up to 24 hours.

>>26105042
that should be enough time to get back and have the rebels hold off until after we've assassinated lakas, right?

>>26105057
Without proper intelligence on the rebel groups I cannot make that estimate, Commander.

Honestly do we even need anyone but November for the Lotto Mission? I mean its just sneaking in and cracking a computer

I'm of the mind to send Delta, Charlie and Whiskey to take care of the assasination

>>26105073
November as a solo operative runs the risk of being discovered while changing available algorithms.

I don't really want to send Whiskey alone, lets ask Charlie if she would be willing to accompany him. Also she kinda isn't needed for a no-causulty op either.

>>26105120
if we let them go alone, they'll probably get whacked.

>>26105073
Send november and charlie to rig the lotto.

Or just don't do it. He's not kidding about the bit where murika possibly shooting at us.

And our risk of detection is high as fuck. as in 100%.
Also, he'll be pissed either way if we right the lotto, and a ghost is worht ALL the credits in the lotto and then some. We can get money other ways.

Us and whiskey go kill a nigger.
Shit, why noy just ask murric

Tell them if they pay for schematics, we'll build it and split production for a while.

Also we should take Charlie with us. it'll be good to have a backup sniper.

How about we destabilize the government ourselves?

Wouldn't be too hard blowing up a governor and maybe the legislation building.

We should forget about the lotto money if Whiskey has a problem with it.

We don't have to pad our pockets

We can get information from the rebels.

With that information we destabilize the government while the rebels swoop in and take charge through the legislative means so nobody dies but a bunch of politicians

We can probably still buy everything too after this

After some thought you decide on a plan.

>"I'll head back to take care of Lakas. Everyone else will stay here and complete the mission."
>"Right, mission."

Whiskey leaves the bridge. Although he appears to have calmed down you're worried he's still not particularly satisfied.

You head to the Black Earl and sit in the cockpit. Pre-flight checks and diagnostics have begun. If you want to take any backup now is the time to request it, Commander. You may be alone at Albuquerque for a while.

>>26105294
Ask if Charlie wants to come.

>>26105294
Let's take Charlie, a good time to get to know her.

>>26105242
The 'pot' goes to education if no one produces a winning ticket. As such, if no one were to win this lottery this round, the entire amount would be going directly into education.

It is not a rolling lottery that runs on credit of previous rounds and pays out small payments to account for this. It is a lump sum single-round lottery.

>>26105294
ask Charlie if she wants to help us

>>26105242
You're missing the bit where they'd get three million otherwise.

>>26105294
Charlie.

Stealth Banshee?

>>26105360
good idea.

>>26105360
Can't go through space, can't enagge air targets.


We're going to a world that produces spacecraft.


It'll get shot down.

>>26105360
You are not able to utilize the banshee in this mission for a variety of reasons, commander.

1: Banshees are not able to operate in deep space.
2: Banshees are not FTL capable.
3: Banshees do not fit in a Dropship hold.
4: The Hercules is returning to the Daluke to the Lottery mission and supply runs to Kilaro for additional credits.

>>26105372
We just bought Valkyrie stealth reactors, right?

Seems like the perfect opportunity.

>>26105397
Wraith stealth reactors, Commander. Valkyries are not stealth-capable at this time.

You radio Charlie as the dropship prepares to take off.

>"Commander?"
>"Charlie. We're returning to eliminate Lakas before any revolution begins, hopefully we'll eliminate any bloodshed preemptively."
>"Delta, if I may, this is more or less my specialty. You just armed 16 rebel factions with schematics for everything from SCVs to tanks. They're gearing up to take him down. If he gets randomly assassinated, you're just going to set a powder keg on fire. Even then, we have no real guarantees that there's not going to be a huge power vacuum and the revolutionaries aren't going to start blowing eachother to bits over ideologies. I'll help you but I don't think killing one guy is going to make everything better at this point."

>Awaiting input...

>>26105435
when buying them, they clearly said WRAITH stealth reactors...

Can the wraiths be equiped in time to be of use to us?

>>26105451
See, damn it that is what I wanted to tell Whiskey
Man...

>>26105454
Contacting Crew Chief Marion M. Ryan:
>"Sir, I've got 11 SCVs and one Nomad, I'm still pluggin' holes on seven decks, we're still in a free spin and venting atmo. I can't spare anything from Daluke repairs right now, because if the Dominion shows up with our pants down like these we're so many kinds of fucked - uh - sir."

>>26105451
That gives us two missions then doesn't it?

>>26105451

As a person who plays the games himself, I can safely say I mix up Valkyries and Wraiths every so often.

>>26105451
