C

>>26851915
C. See if you can reason with him, and tell him you'll share the profit of your cargo with him if he lets you in.

>>26851915
A. Affirm the request, and maintain you position in high orbit.

>>26851915
C

all ooman are greedy

>>26852008
>>C.

"We should hurry," you tell Mickey. "See if you can reason with him. Bribery, perhaps."

Mickey nods, and re-opens the comm channel.

"Station oh-five, understood, but listen, I've got eight thousand tons of shellfish in the cryo hold that I need to offload immediately. I've already been delayed once, crossing through Sirius, and my cargo is close to spoiling.

"Tell you what, look the other way just this once, and when I collect my pay, I'll split it with you. What do you say?"

The comm goes silent for a moment. Then, after some thought, the station traffic director whispers, "How much are we talking about?"

"Eight thousand tons of seafood. At market price, it'll be at least 60 mil. You get 15, I get the rest. How does that sound? Come on, that's gotta be more than you make in a year!"

Another pause. "Alright. Tell you what, see that Star Cruise passenger liner making its de-orbiting burn? Follow him in. I'll pretend to not notice. Sort out your business, and pay me. If you don't, I'll report you, and I'll make sure they hunt you down for smuggling. Got it?"

"Yeah, thanks boss."

Mickey flips off the comms. He looks at his crew. "Let's go. Follow that passenger liner. By the way, any one of you got fifteen million credits? No? Didn't think so. We'll need to do some fast talking to get out of this one."

You slowly slip behind the large cruise ship, and begin your descent towards the surface. You hold your course steady for Dubai spaceport, hanging from a tethered space elevator far above the surface in low Earth orbit. You notice a lane specifically marked for Weyland Yutani ships, which leads you away from the main spaceport towards a private landing zone. Do you:

A. Divert and head for the Weyland-Yutani only lane.
B. Continue following the passenger liner and land at the public port.
C. Forego the landing and put your ship in a holding pattern near the space port.

>>26852265
B
Let's follow the nice corrupt space traffic controller's instructions?

>>26852265
B

>>26852265
>B. Continue following the passenger liner and land at the public port.
We're probably being watched.

>>26852352
>>26852337

>>B. Continue following the passenger liner and land at the public port.

You dutifully follow behind the passenger liner towards the floating spaceport.

Another transmission once again challenges you. "Peregrin-Celeste, this is Dubai port authority. Welcome to Earth. Your ship has been registered. State your business here on Earth so we can direct you to the appropriate docking pad."

You should respond:

A. "Dropping off cargo."
B. "Dropping off a few passengers."
C. "Coming in for scheduled maintenance."
D. "Official corporate business, so none of yours."

>>26852437
C. Doesn't require us to drop off cargo, which we have none of.

>>26852437
D

>>26852437
D

We've already passed the Wetland only lane. If it was official corporate business we'd have gone there. Not sure if D is a good idea. Might not believe us.

Maybe it is.

>>26852437
A?

We've already lied once about that. May as well keep our lies straight.

>>26852513
>>26852544
>D.

You have a whispered discussion with Mickey, and come to a consensus.

He responds over comms, "Official corporate business, so mind your own."

"Ah... understood, Celeste. Usually, you corporates have your own pads, so I just assumed..."

"Yeah, well, don't assume anything. Just give me a pad somewhere, preferably away from traffic."

"Understood. Loud and clear. Pad D-6 is clear. Just follow the guide drones in. Should I inform Corporate and have them send a reception team?"

"Negative. We'll take care of it ourselves. Out."

With that, Mickey shuts off the comms and guides your ship towards the assigned landing pad. The ship shudders as docking clamps engage, and you're secured fully to the platform.

Mickey hooks the ship into the station's information network, and begins to sift through a variety of data.

"This is bad," he mutters. "Several more attacks on Colonial outposts." He turns to you. "Looks like Weyland-Yutani is putting the blame on you guys. They're demanding action from the armed forces to retaliate."

You gesture to your team, and motion for them to gear up.

"Mission first, " you tell Mickey. "Let's make it fast."

"Right. Two ways down to the city. You can ride the space elevator down, or take your ship."

You say:

A. "We'll take the space elevator down."
B. "We'll take our ships."
C. "Let's split up. Half of us will take the elevator, half of us will be take the ships, for cover."

>>26852686
B

DONT SPLIT THE PARTY

>>26852686
B. We'll need our ships. Unless we somehow manage a no-kill no-detection.

>>26852686
B.
They're faster than the space elevator, and will give us some maneuvering room in case we get unraveled.

Can we ask mickey if there's anyone we could report that corrupt guard to? If we get him arrested for complying with bribery, we won't have to worry about him calling a bunch of douches down on us when we try to leave later.

>>26852686
B

>>26852735
>>26852717

B. "We'll take our ships," you tell him.

"Right. We'll keep an eye out from up here."

You look outside. It is night time. The darkness provides perfect cover for your approach.

You motion Sharp-Strike and Burning-Scythe to follow you to your ship, while Ashen-Blade and Seeking-Eye rides with Steel-Arrow's ship.

You engage the stealth systems and slip out of the Peregrine Celeste's hangar and drop towards the planet's surface below.

The city looms before you as you approach, and you're greeted by a vista of a sprawling urban hive. Tall, neon buildings separated by dark, claustrophobic streets.

The tall, dark, featureless spike jutting forth from the dead center of the city is your target. It's surrounded by hundreds of shorter but no less austere towers sporting a variety of logos.

As the city spills forth from the center, you notice more and more clumps of slums ringing the outskirts, where buildings become significantly less sterile in design.

You'll need to find a place to land.

Do you:

A. Head for the outskirts of the city, towards the slums.
B. Head straight towards the center of the city.
C. Head straight for the WY headquarters tower, and recon its roof close up.

>>26852764
this is smart
>>26852861
B

>>26852861
B. Put us close to our objective, without actually alerting them to our presence.

>>26852861
B

>>26852861
B.

>>26852912
>>26852899

>>B. Head straight towards the center of the city.

You direct your ship towards the mass of office towers, broadcasting their logos in bright neon.

As you descend, you begin to notice millions of hover cars zipping across the skyline, like swarms of bees. You carefully guide your ship to thread between the lanes of high speed vehicles, still undetected.

Do you:

A. Take your ship downwards to the ground level, where traffic is thinner, and find a place to land.
B. Look around you, and find a tower with a convenient roof upon which you can safely land.
C. Cruise between the towers, hiding among the hover-cars, and head for the Weyland tower.

This is where the wing-suit would have been convenient.

>>26852965
A.

>>26852965
A.
Conveniently empty rooftops will definitely have some human vehicle landing on it at some point.

>>26852986
I thought we got the wing suit. I know we got the extra holster, if not the wing suit what was our second?

>>26852965
A

>>26852997
We got the plasma harness and the body armor.

>>26852997
We picked the ablative vests and the extra harness for mounting a second plasma-caster.

>>26853002
>>26852995
>>26852986

>>A.

You angle your ship downward, past the bulk of traffic, and survey the city at the ground level.

You find several gardens flanked by buildings, and well decorated walkways which thread through them. Most of the major towers also sport small plazas in front of their ground level entrances.

You also notice a variety of entrances to access the underground. A cursory scan with your vision confirms large parking structures underneath the city.

Do you:

A. Set down on top of a garden.
B. Head inside one of the underground car parks.
C. Hug the ground and head closer towards the Weyland tower.

>>26853092
C.

>>26853092
A.

>>26853092
C. keep an eye out for anything deserted or infrequented

>>26853092
B is a bad idea. They can be easily locked down.

I've already voted, but A or C are the best choices.

>>26853092
A

>>26853138
This was my reasoning for not voting B also.

>>26853092
A

So guys I've been thinking. Since we are going to probably have to access all of Weylands files in order to delete all the research. Why not grab a copy of every reprehensible thing they have done and pass it off to the Colonial Marines.

>>26853169
I was kinda hoping we could access their bank records and completely drain whatever accounts we find, but I like your idea too.

>>26853161
>>26853145
>>26853132

Looks like 3 As 2 Cs. Going with A. Write-up inc.

>>26853169
Good idea. Weyland is out of control.

>>26853169
That's probably one of the plans since Ashen-Blade and Mickey told us that investigators from the CM side are also being targeted by Wey-Yu. They could definitely use the info.

>>26853190
Am I the only one getting a feeling that the operation would get busted because of a dog barking or some garden sprinklers activating?

>>26853252
I think C was a better option just because it would save time. Once the guy realizes he's not getting 15mil credits things are going to get nasty.

>>26853252
I'm more worried about getting to close to the Weyland building in our ships. If I remember correctly they can see through our cloaks easier now because of the stolen tech. I have a hunch that they would probably install some sort of scanner for cloaks since they know we are coming for them.

>>26853190
>>A. Set down on top of a garden.

You perform a quick thermal scan, and detecting no human signatures, you begin to look for an appropriate landing spot.

You choose a dense, artificial glade next to a tall bank of hedges and set your ship down underneath its foliage. You keep the stealth drive running, and carefully step out.

You survey your surroundings. The city is quiet, though you notice flurries of movement from within the massive towers surrounding you. It seems very few humans prefer to be outdoors at this hour.

You gather your team, and carefully move out towards the tower.

Suddenly, Seeking-Eye pulls you towards the ground, and directs your attention to several figures far ahead. They seem to be standing guard. You carefully circle around them, but as you approach the Weyland HQ, you notice the synthetic patrols get denser and denser.

You also notice several large, hovering spherical drones, similar to the floating mines you encountered in the upper Fey'lenn orbit, flying around above you.

Seeking-Eye points towards the ground.

Do you:

A. Proceed on foot, and avoid the patrols to the best of your abilities.
B. Find an entrance and head underground.
C. Climb to the top of a nearby tower and observe the patrol patterns.

>>26853272
Well we could steal 15 million from Weyland to pay him off. I bet they make that much every few seconds.

>>26853291
B. Find an entrance and head underground.

>>26853291
C is a bad idea because of those drones. Evading them will be tough.

>>26853291
B

>>26853291
A. Not B, since there is no way there wont be anything underground next to a high-value facility

>>26853291
A,

>>26853291
A. B is bad, as >>26853320 said

>>26853291
C
We can beat the drones

>>26853320
>>26853328
>>26853341
A wins., write-up incoming.

>>26853348
>> A. Proceed on foot, and avoid the patrols to the best of your abilities.

You continue pushing forward on foot, preferring to thread through narrow alley ways rather than head for open ground.

As you carefully walk through a narrow alley flanked by a business bar and a penthouse, you suddenly hear a loud shout nearby. You quickly signal your team to halt and press your back against the wall.

You peek your head out of the corner and watch a human male stumbles out of the nearby bar, arches over, and begins to vomit.

Several synthetic guards quickly rush over, and upon identifying the man, begins to question him. You notice a small card on the floor, a few meters from the scene, likely inadvertently dropped by the man, which has a Weyland-Yutani holo-logo embedded upon it.

Do you:

A. Attempt to sneak over and grab the card. (DC: Medium-Hard)
B. Wait until the synthetics escort the man away.

>>26853446
>A. Attempt to sneak over and grab the card. (DC: Medium-Hard)

>>26853446
B. Failing this would mean mission fail.

>>26853446
A

The dice are totally on our side this time

>>26853446
B.
Distracted synthetics mean the coast is clear.

>>26853446
B.

>>26853446
B

>>26853489
>>26853497
>>B. Wait until the synthetics escort the man away.

You remain still. A further round of questioning later, the man begins to grow restless. He starts shouting wildly, which attracts the attention of several more synthetic guards. Together, the synthetics begin to restrain the man and escort him away from the premise. One of them notices the card on the ground, picks it up, and follows his comrades out.

With a large number of synthetic guards in the area distracted, you signal your team and press forward.

The Weyland building is now within sight. You crouch next to an adjacent tower, and observe carefully.

You notice several things. First, there are five large spherical drones constantly circling around the HQ. They occasionally pause to spray something into the air. Second, the main entrance leading to the lobby is heavily guarded by no less than twenty synthetics, with six of them toting heavy mini-guns.

Do you:

A. Find a good vantage point and get a better look at the HQ.
B. Sneak around to the other side of the HQ and see if you can spot any secondary entrances.
C. Tell your team to prepare an assault on the front door.

>>26853618
B

>>26853618
B.

>They occasionally pause to spray something into the air
Probably some sort of anti-cloaking compound. Not sure.

Should stay close to ground.

>>26853618
A

sneak peak

>>26853649
I want to take down one of those drones so we can identify that spray.

>>26853618
B

>>26853668
Probably constantly transmitting info someplace. Taking one out would alert them.

I'd rather not.

>>26853668
That would probably set off an alarm. I'm sure this won't be the last time we run into the spray so we'll have another chance to identify it.

>>26853636
>>26853649
>>26853677

>>B. Sneak around to the other side of the HQ and see if you can spot any secondary entrances.

You carefully circle around the building, and survey the entire structure. There doesn't seem to be any other entrances - at least none that are easily visible. You thumb over your utility belt and run your fingers over the breaching sheet.

If you want to enter, it looks like you'll either have to knock down the front door or make a hole in the wall. You look up, and spot several balconies jutting out on the 10th and 15th floors.

You hear a mechanical whirring sound approaching you, and motion for your team to hug the ground.

You carefully observe as one of those large spherical drones fly past you, and come to a stop a ways in front of you. It hovers, emits a loud hiss, accompanied by a mist of strange fog.

It hovers in place, spins a few times, and resumes its flight.

Burning-Scythe tunes his visor and begins to study the mist up close.

"Organic micro-chaff. Safe to ingest, but specifically designed to counteract our stealth systems," he tells you. "The whole building is probably filled with it."

He studies your armor. "You might have a chance to compensate with your advanced cloaking systems, but our cloaks will be compromised the moment we touch the gas. If you get me in there, I might be able to find a way to dilute the mist."

You acknowledge.

Do you:

A. Tell your team to cover you outside while you scout solo.
B. Take Burning-Scythe with you and have the rest of the team cover.
C. Attempt to find a weak section of the wall at ground level and breach through.
D. Attempt to climb up the tower to one of the balconies and breach there.

>>26853824
A

>>26853824
D

>>26853824
Is it possible for Burning Scythe to link up with our visor so he could see what we see?

>>26853824
D.

>>26853918
Assume he actually needs to be there.

>>26853921
>>26853917

>>D. Attempt to climb up the tower to one of the balconies and breach there.

You motion for your team to wait for your signal as you quickly sprint from cover towards the Weyland tower.

As you pass through a cloud of mist, you notice your cloak drop momentarily. Your skin begins to shimmer and arcs of lightning leap from point to point. Then, as your advanced stealth system begins to compensate, the shimmering dies down.

Your cloak re-engages, but you find it to be somewhat more visible as you move.

You quickly check around you to make sure no eyes are on you, and begin to clamber up the wall. Ten stories later, you grip the balcony railings and pull yourself up.

You scurry over to a tall, sliding, transparent door and press yourself next to it. Inside seems to be a large, empty office.

Knowing what to look for now, you turn your vision to tech model and quickly peek inside.

There doesn't seem to be any trace of the microchaff gas inside.

You check the door. It seems to be locked solidly shut.

Do you:

A. Breach it.
B. Tell your teammates to join you.
C. Tell Quick-Shadow and Ashen-Blade to cover you from the outside while you take the rest of the team in.

>>26854025
C.
The formation worked quite well during the prison raid. And their speargun skills are wasted on the cramped quarters.

>>26854025
C

>>26854025
C

>>26854025
We shouldn't split up right?

A

>>26854104
Sorry B, team join

B not A

>>26854046
>C.

"Quick-Shadow, Ashen-Blade, find a vantage point and give us cover. The of you, with me. Watch the patrols."

Your team acknowledges. Quick-Shadow unloads the two heavy caliber spear guns from his back and hands one to Ashen-Blade. Together, the duo slinks off into the darkness, looking for a vantage point.

The rest of your team carefully crosses over to your position, careful to avoid patrols, and join you on top of the balcony.

With the team in place, you focus on creating the entrance.

Do predators take part in any form of degenracy?

(aside from the obvious)

>>26854887
if they are no male has ever lived to tell and the females are tight lipped

though generally they are very rough, think SNU-SNU'd to death and thats accurate

but that side of matters have never been explored or explained in the universes lore
