Following a suspiciously good breakfast, you and the rest of what the rest of the base refer to as “F Team” are directed towards a small briefing room located next to armoury. The room itself semi-circular, like a lecture theatre, with a pitched floor and lines of desks surrounding a projector screen.
As you all move in to take your seat, you find yourself sitting next to the small blonde you previously introduced herself as Giltinė on your first mission. She’s snoozing in her chair, obviously not concerned with the situation in the slightest, not even stirring as a man in brown sweater takes the podium.
“Good Morning, for those you are new here, I’m central officer Bradford, my goal here is to organise and brief you on behalf of Commander Beagle. Everyone else, you know the drill so settle down. Oh and Someone wake Loli up”

Won't kill the quest if QM knows what to do actually do with the suggestion. Having played LSQ I know it's a terrible idea and am not suggesting it, but it's not actually out of line with what has been going on so far in the quest so the suggestion really is fair. It's just a matter of what Dent decides to do with the suggestion. I mean I can already think of a few ways to go about it, so I'm sure he can too.
>>
>>35344669
Honestly the tone between this quest and LSQ is absurd, so much so that I'd say that this should hardly be called a sequel, or related to it at all.

>but it's not actually out of line with what has been going on so far in the quest
Yeah it is, completely.

When have we done anything even remotely similar? Closest was when we shoved out stun prod up that alien in the first thread in a fit of rage.

This? This is just stupid.

You gently caress the snoring girl next to you. No sooner than you touch her side, she literally jumps from her seat, straddling as she pushes a blade against your throat. A couple seconds pass before her eyes focus on your face and she lowers the blade sheepishly and moves back to her seat. Around you, the rest of what you now know is the “Alpha” Team along with Bradford are stifling some chuckles.
As the smiles fade, Bradford continues the briefing “Right, for those of you on team Foxtrot, first lesson of X-Com. The Loli is going to try to murder you.”
As everyone else settles in, he brings up on the projector at a slide marked ‘Operation Fallen Raven’

“Six hours ago, one of our agents contacted us with intelligence that a terrestrial paramilitary organisation has acquired a large alien artefact and has moved it to a research facility in the Russian Federation.
As a result, our agent has requested a team to be dispatched to both extract him, and retrieve the artefact.
To accomplish this, Alpha team will affect a breach of the site, retrieve both the agent and artefact, and withdraw to the extraction point. Foxtrot team will be dropped in 30 minutes behind Alpha to secure the extraction point and assist Alpha in its extraction. To be clear, there will be no salvage or recovery besides the artefact, so you don’t have to kill everything you see. I’m looking at you Loli. I know what you did to that room of conscripts last time…”

Bradford brings up a satellite image of the area of operations, highlighting the smaller group of buildings to the top right of the image.

“Team Foxtrot will secure this group of buildings in preparation for extraction with Alpha. Resistance is expected to be particularly light here as it is the facilities waste disposal area. The Last KH-11 pass showed minimal thermal signatures focused primarily around the central building area, but indicate no more than 50 hostile personnel. Any Questions?”

But the end of LSQ dropped pretty much everything that was part of LSQs setting to make it part of a mix of XCOM and Delta Green. Pretty much nothing that happened in LSQ is important here and I could brief the new players on what they need to know in a single line.

The loli is good at making things dead. The Zone from STALKER is a real place.

That's just about all you need to know from LSQ to keep up here.

What.

No really, Nothing Dave did, the one who is responsible for all of this, is important?

Sure, its not required reading for the quest, but to say its not important when it build everything in the setting and set things in place for this is to just be stupidly willfully ignorant.

Lets say some random guy called dave in the XCOM games, for some reason you can make that up, set up a beacon that called the Aliens in.
Now, is that REALLY important? No, because it's just some guy called Dave, he's not the aliens, he's not exalt, he's just some random fucker that isn't relevant any more.

That's LSQ in a nutshell.

“R.O.E. is to eliminate any personnel that have had contact with the artefact if the opportunity presents itself. Intelligence suggests that anyone on the site itself will be hostile and should be treated accordingly. However, due to the presence of a Russian FSB station twenty kilometres from the site, care should be taken not to engage government forces unless absolutely necessary “

“I’ve heard of you. No you don’t get a loli. Not yet at least. For now we’re going to see how you handle a pet SHIV. Try not to break it”

A couple other members of alpha team ask specific questions about possible resistance and tactical options, not much of which means much to you. Before long, you’re all directed to the armoury to get geared up.

I did read it. It's not particularly important to playing this quest.
>>
>>35345067
The term 'battle rifle' is a neologism. It was created largely out of a need to better differentiate the intermediate-power assault rifles (StG-44, AK-47 & M16) from the full-powered automatic rifles (FN FAL, M14 rifle & H&K G3) as both classes of firearms have similar appearances and share many of the same features
While the designation of battle rifle is usually given to post-World War II select fire infantry rifles such as the FN FAL, the M14 and the H&K G3,[1] this term is also used to describe older military full-powered semi-automatic rifles such as the M1 Garand, the MAS-49 and the FN-49.

You request a high power battle rifle from the armoury officer, figuring that its long range and extra punch will be helpful when defending the extraction zone.

He reaches back and hands you a solid looking bullpup rifle. He quickly demonstrates how to operate it before asking you what you want as your backup.

Knowing who shadowrunned in the background isn't relevant to the plot either, our nameless, characterless whore of an MC is the focus of this quest, the story is about him, and his adventures. It is not about the world as a whole, or even XCOM.

Do you not understand how a grenade works?

The FRAG part of a frag grenade is the case, the shell that holds it together, it does not restrict its explosive power, thats fucking retarded, why make a weak grenade?

All grenades are FRAG grenades if they are intended as high explosive tactical weapons

Not how it works. We're on Team Fodder, she's on Team Alive. That means we go in and get shot up until Com is reasonably sure we've tripped all the ambushes, then Team Alive cleans up.

We might keep one of our squad members if we do well.

Fitting yourself into the Tac Armour was not entirely unlike being forced into a corset with a battering ram. Or it wouldn’t be if the Russian didn’t insist on helping you…
Loading up, you move out towards your squads skyranger, seeing Alpha squad already leaving, wearing high tech powered exo-suits and carrying glowing red rifles, you wonder how long it will be until you get the really good toys…

Thirty Minutes later, your with your squad, about to board the skyranger. Since everyone seems to regard you as their De-facto leader, you take care to memorise what their equipment and specialties are:

> Heather – Assault – Shotgun – Grenades
> The Russian – Heavy – Machine Gun – Extended Mags
> Frenchie – Scout – Sub-Machine Gun – Arc Thrower
> The American – Rocketeer – Carbine – Extra Rocket
> Japanese Schoolgirl – Sniper – Sniper Rifle – Scope
> The Brit – Medic- Medkits
> SHIV – Minigun

The flight to Russia takes surprisingly little time, the skyranger cruising along with an airliners transponder. Alpha team’s skyranger is already touching down when you decide to take the opportunity to know some of your team better. After all, knowing the names of the people who are relying on you to bring them home alive might be a good idea. If only so you know who to swear at when it all goes wrong. You decide to talk to…

You turn to the mobile turret strapped in next to you. It turns its turret to face you, Luckily you see that the ammunition hopper has not shifted to the ready position. I guess nothing makes that initial conversation more awkward than a high calibre minigun pointed at you

“So… do you come here often?”

The SHIV looks at you as if questioning your sanity for a moment, before nodding its gun up and down in confirmation.

Ok, so apparently whoever programmed the bot included voice commands in its protocols. Let’s see if we can have fun with this…

“You know, your chassis is really quite shiny, is that paint new?”

In response it seems to look down at itself, nod its turret and make a purring noise with its turret servos.
“And that minigun! You must be the talk of all the assembler arms back at base!”

At this the shiv detaches itself from its dock, scooting closer to you and placing its gunbarrel on your leg in an affectionate way as a murdermachine can.

“Are you seriously hitting on the bot now too?” The American calls from over the other side of the skyranger, catching the attention of the rest of the passengers. “Guess you are just a massive…”

His Jibes are quickly cut off by the SHIV ramming into his knees, pointing the minigun at his face and pre-spinning it.

The possibility of watching your squadmate beaten to death by a glorified lawnmower is quickly ended by a call from the pilot.

“LZ in sight, 30 seconds to drop. Stack up!”
Quickly getting to the task at hand, the squad stands and prepares to disembark the skyranger.

Your team hits the ground running, the SHIV opening up at the a watchtower at the edge of the buildings your supposed to secure. As you team filters out, your Japanese sniper pauses to take a shot at some enemy troops rushing from a building ahead of you, catching one in the chest and throwing him back in a spray of blood and organs. The rest hunker down behind a couple vehicles and boxes ahead of you.

As you clear the skyranger, the pilot rams the throttles to the limit, climbing back into the sky as small arms fire plinks off the armoured shell of the dropship.

Ahead of you, you’ve taken the few men here by surprise, most seem to be cowering in cover and firing in your general direction.
From the main facility to your south west, you can hear the sounds of gunfire and screams as Alpha team gets to work.

You call over to the Russian and the SHIV to keep the targets pinned down, telling the rest of the squad to overwatch and prevent the enemies from retreating.
You then jog over to the sniper who is prone in the snow, dropping in next to her and looking through your scope.
“Range” She whispers as she discards her helmet to a better look down the scope.
“200 yards” You respond, looking through your scope and using the pips on your scope to estimate range the range to the crouching figures. You see three men, which seem to be a marksman, a machine gunner and what appears to be the guy giving instructions.
“Target?” She asks, slowing her breathing and focusing downrange.

You whisper in her ear “Guy with the rifle”
A second later she pulls the trigger on the rifle, it recoiling roughly in her hands. You can’t see the fifty calibre slug travelling downrange at almost a kilometre per second until it smashes through the van that the leader was hiding behind, catching him in his upper shoulder. The impact very nearly tears his entire arm off, despite having passed through most of the van. The explosion of gore from the hit showers his companions, who quickly decide discretion is the better part of Valour and try to make a run for it.
The machine gunner, weighed down by his weapon lags behind the marksman, quickly drawing fire from both the SHIV and the Russian, rounds landing around him, he tries to turn back towards the van, only for one of the SHIV’s explosive rounds to catch him in the knee, sending him sprawling into the dirt.
The sniper is luckier, almost making it to the buildings before you manage to drop a 7.62x51mm round into his back, between his shoulder blades, punching a fist sized hole into his chest.

As the sniper falls, your assault team quickly closes on the now hapless and mewling machine gunner, his leg detached at the calf, he’s bleeding like a stuck pig. Heather quickly kicks away his Machine gun, some sort of laser weapon which the Russian examines closely before discarding.

Its quickly apparent that the four operatives here were the only forces defending the extraction point, everyone else seems to be over in the main compound duking it out with alpha.

Pulling the radio from your pack, you switch it to the long range channel.
“Bradford, Extraction Zone is secure, Awaiting further orders”


“Confirmed, Alpha is reportedly hitting heavy resistance and have lost two members, they however report the Artefact is in sight. Hold position and await extraction”

Your orders received you jog over to where the wounded man is, in time to see your medic working on the stump that was his leg. Despite the wound, the man is struggling on the ground, hard enough that the Russian has had to step in to restrain him.

“Sir, He’s in a bad way, shock alone should have finished him, either way, I don’t think he’s entirely human either… “ The medic reports as he quickly clamps the bleeding. “if you want to ask him any questions, you better do it right now”

You grab his hand before he can release the spoon, holding your hands over his, its all you can do to stop it pulling it from your grasp...

However, before anyone can find the pin, he jerks his hands, pulling your head level with his. He whispers quickly "Ask them about the Accord... Ask them about seventy years ago. Ask them about Fairfield. And don’t trust the monster"

With those last words, he bites down, crushing a tooth, after which he releases his grip and falls back to the ground.

Pulling back, the live grenade still in your hand, you toss it into one of the nearby buildings, its solid construction shielding the squad from the blast.

“You know, you really should stop trying to solve things with your dick. Unless you know, its me your offering to…” Heather quips from behind you, as the medic looks over the Russians broken nose.

Your about to formulate a comeback when a large explosion roars from the main complex. Something BIG just went off.

Thirty Seconds later, Bradford Radios you the good news.

“Alpha just went dark and the local military nets just went berserk. Whatever just happened, it’s been noticed by the Russians. Prepare for immediate extraction. Voodoo Three-One’s ETA is six minutes.”

“What about Alpha?” you ask, keenly aware the reason that you’re here in the first place was to secure their extraction.

“Unknown, their satellite feeds went dead thirty seconds ago and we’re trying to require.”


The gunfire from the main facility has changed, its not longer the patter of small arms, but the deep booms of something heavier. If Alpha’s alive, it’s putting up one hell of a fight.

“Bradford, I’m taking half my section to find Alpha, We can still here gunfire in the main facility”

“Roger that, Voodoo Three-One’s just reported it’s detected a flight of aircraft inbound to your area of operations. Flight pattern matches Tu-160’s on an attack run. ETA is Six minutes. Get Alpha out of there. Command Out”

Grabbing Frenchie and Heather, you instruct the rest of the Squad to keep the extraction point secure. With only a few minutes available to you, bringing the big guns would just slow you down, so taking the fast movies makes sense.

The rest of the squad settles into cover around the extraction zone, Popping smoke and flares to mark it for the skyranger as you and your two companions make a break for the main compound.
Two minutes later, and your all puffing hard as you reach the north-east gate. The place is a mess, bodies are everywhere and most of the buildings are on fire. Advancing quickly towards the sound of combat, you quickly come across the gory remains of one of Alpha team. From the look of the body, his upper chest was crushed like a rotten fruit by something of immense weight.

Continuing along, you pick up the sounds of exotic weapons, a sizzling noise not unlike the sound water makes when thrown on the fire, along with a deep staccato booming of some sort of heavy weapon. The noises seem to be getting closer…

As you three round another corner, you catch sight of what been making all the noise…

It’s massive, standing at least five meters tall on two legs with a hanging torso. Its carapace is scorched and pitted, but nether less, it’s still operational.

The monstrosity fortunately for you, is not looking your way, but firing its main cannon repeatedly at the building opposite. That’s where alpha must be…. But how to get past the bot?

Its currently standing in the middle of an alley between two factory buildings surrounded by rubble, a fast man could probably be able to draw its fire away without too much risk…
On the other hand, the damage its wrought to the buildings around it mean a couple grenades could likely bring a wall down on it….
And above are pipelines connecting the buildings, proving a good vantage point to shoot at it from above.

You gesture to grenade the walls next to the beast while you and Frenchie prepare to give her cover fire. Popping out of cover, you drop three rounds into the back of its carapace, apparently to no effect, while Frenchie blazes away ineffectively with his SMG. While not doing any meaningful damage, it does cause it take notice, the small turret on the top of its torso swivelling and opening fire on you.

You flinch as the first plasma bolt passes your head, obliterating the wall next to you, the second bolt catches you full in the chest, instantly melting through your body armour and frying your torso. The Third and final round searing through the bone at your right knee severing the limb and causing you to onto your back.

You try to move, but the pain in your chest is overwhelming, your head falls sideways, letting you see Heathers Grenades go off, collapsing the wall ontop of the sectopod. the cloud of dust blocking its vision, you see Loli make a break towards you as you feel yourself start to be dragged away as your vision fades.


After a few seconds though, the dragging stops, with the sound of the Sectopod pulling itself from the rubble, your dropped to the ground as your would be saviours flee…. Your last thoughts that at least you managed to save some of those under your command… The darkness closes in and you black out….

The darkness closes in, the feeling leaves your body as your heart slows its beats, and your wounded lungs give out as your breath passes your lips… As you go, you can hear the sound of gunfire and shouts, so very far away now. Your eyelids flicker for a moment as you feel a cool breeze brush your face, opening your eyes, you see though gap in the black smoke the blue skies far above you.

Inside, you feel something stir, something deep inside you. Something hidden in the deepest reaches of your soul. A fire that has always been there, Just waiting for when you needed to call on it. Your hand twitches, gripping your rifle. Your eyes fully open. You pull yourself up against the rubble to see the sectopod a mere fifty meters away, preparing to fire on the quickly vanishing shapes of your hapless comrades. Your not going down without taking that bastard with you.

With a final scream from your burnt lungs, you shoulder your weapon and fire.

Your first round catches it in the rear torso, bouncing off ineffectively, the second and third go wild, the forth penetrates its rear armour and embeds itself in the beats leg servo’s. Your fifth shot stovepipes, jamming your gun.


You did it. You wounded the beast. You can die now.

As it struggles to turn with only one working leg, you look down its massive cannon, preparing for your end. It stops. It aims.

Round after round of high explosive ammunition slams into the already weakened rear armour, battering the damaged plate off of the bot as it turns to face the new threat.

Standing before it is the small SHIV from your squad, its minigun overheated and jammed. Despite this, it stands it ground, facing down the monster that towers over it.


Dropping your useless rifle, you pull your sawnoff and fire. The sectopod’s torso explodes, the ammunition inside detonating in a spectacular explosion that obliterates the mech, leaving two smoking feet.


You lie back, your revenant task done. As you hear the sound of engines you feel something nudge you. The SHIV makes a whirring noise at you, and droops its cannon for you to grab onto.

The fire inside you fills you again, pulling you back from the brink as you close your hand over the still hot barrel of the SHIV. Pulling yourself onto it, you collapse on top of it, its motors screeching under your weight as it pulls you clear of the facility towards the sound of the skyrangers engines.


As you reach the ramp , you roll off the SHIV, its motor overheated, its guns jammed, it sits next to you, purring softly like a cat. Before you the darkness finally claims you, you finally look at the front of its chassis…

Written in pink is the word“Eliza”

Hey at least it was a female you were seducing this time!

Okay. New plan.

When we wake up in the infirmary, we ask our visitors who the fuck it was that dropped us like a sack of rotten potatos. When they point themselves out, scream, "I WILL FUCK YOU RAW WHEN I GET OUT OF THESE BADNAGES!

>>35350632
Well you have +10 with Eliza, who is effectively loyal to you now.

Everyone else it varies. Frenchie and Heather actually now have a massive hit due to the fact that they left you to die. I have notes of this *somewhere*

Your rep with Loli is around +5, but your still a rookie to her, so she's not going to get attached any time soon.

Hitting on the SHIV was the smartest thing we've done.

Wait so our rep with them took a hit because THEY abandoned us? Wow, they must be fucking afraid of getting too attached to us.

>Since i dont fudge damage rolls.
Protip, theres nothing wrong with fudging a roll or two for fun's sake if its going to kill the quest, especially when its only in thread 3.

I'd much rather this keep running and keep having fun with it than you sticking to some misguided notion of principles and fucking things up.
>>
Oi Dent, why not use fate points or some shit, because I guarantee that /tg/ D20's will do that again at some time, they are notoriously swingy, and some mechanic to prevent that or negate such a fail or at least mitigate it would be appreciated.
>>
>>35353828
i don't think the protag dying would kill the quest, this is Xcom after all, deaths are to be expected
we'd just continue with someone else (Heather?)
>>
>>35354018
But then we'd never get to rank Colonel and we'd be utterly fucked later.

And besides, there are plenty of things in XCOM that make the MC's 'death' and 'resurrection' possible, MECs for instance and all that jaz.

Just offing the MC because of single set of bad rolls just feels stupid and empty.
>>
>>35354119
It is very X-Com though.
>>
>>35354119
>Just offing the MC because of single set of bad rolls just feels stupid and empty.
it's like you've never even played xcom
>>
>>35354532
>>35354554
I've played XCOM before, and XCOM's lethality rarely ever works well in quests, every single one I've seen just ends up dead by thread 5 because they go "Oh, we rolled a 1, and have to kill the MC because its muh XCOM, well go home everyone"

That is not fun, its fun in the video game, and guess what, that mechanic just does not translate well or at all to this medium, and going all "MUH XCOM" to justify shitty mechanics is fucking retarded.
