Before their conversation could continue a vaguely humanoid form fell from the ceiling with its neck at an unnatural angle. Then another one came down and started trying to scurry out towards the external doors, ignoring the fur-clad men and your soldiers both.

That was when you realized it wasn't the Sergeant that was screaming.

"Fffuuucckkk!!! Didjoo tink I'd go down that easy??!! FUCK YOU!"

The Sergeant's power-armored bulk crashed down onto the fleeing Lurker, creating a small crater in the hangar floor and misting all the surroundings with gristle and blood.

"HAHA, this is some FINE bloody fucking sport you've got you fur-clad savages. SOMEONE GET THOSE FUCKING DOORS CLOSED, I WANT TO HAVE SOME FUN!!"

Currently you do not, as normally you'd use your containment facilities for that. You're perfectly capable of temporarily restraining them with rope, tossing them into a hab unit, and locking the door though.

>>41270195
Guess that'll have to do.

So there's something horrible in the containment unit when it was supposed to be empty, tunnels leading off from the generator room, and we still need to figure out our exact situation as far as food and water is concerned.

On second thought, I want to change interrogating the prisoners to
>A. Scavenge for food.
(and the second action was supposed to be >F, sorry)

Right.

Let me see, what was the action plan anon had last thread?

>My suggestion for midterm goals is a focus on the medical bay and the armory, which will give us weapons to fight any potential trespassers to our vault, and medecine to heal afterward. We'll secure key locations with checkpoints and barricades manned by personnel told to make regular status checks, and if possible given deadman switches that will alert us if a patrol has suddenly been killed.

>Once we've fortified these locations, and when we've stockpiled on medecine and weapons, we'll move on to take the more important facilities of the hyrpdoponics for food and the power hub and vehicle bay. We'll save the bulkhead for last.

>>41271116
So our hydroponics are active?

>>41271126
Actually I would like to follow >>41271152 outline and secure our current holdings, then move out. I believe last thread we found a MYSTERIOUS hole torn into the wall and we ought to have set up some patrols and barricades around there first.

Maybe then we send in expeditions, but would be nice to develop some scouting drones.

Rolled 83 (1d100)

>>41271152
To that end, I vote

Action 1 - Interrogate the prisoners
Action 2 - Set up defensive barricades and basic patrols around our current holdings, the Science Bay, the Armory, and I believe we took over some of the Hydroponics as well.

Yes, the only reason your food, water, and medicine stats are unknown is because the Lockdown means you don't have access to the automated systems that monitor such things. You could manually tally it up, or you could shut down the lockdown from the Sechub.

>Interrogate the prisoners

The prisoners prove to be remarkably resilient to your questions not a single one of them cracks under your intense barrage, you didn't even get any names.

In fact most of them were laughing and spitting at your interrogators by the time you were done, and many of your members now know more euphemisms for having intercourse with various beings than they had imagined existed.

>Set up basic barricades and patrols

Barricades have been set up at several key points throughout the base. Someone even had the smart idea of looking into the available files in the SecHub, so once you get the security systems back online they'll be even tougher.

Patrols have been dispatched around all your holdings, and everyone feels much more secure for it.

Your power-armor soldiers were dispatched on the patrol outside. They report that it seems to be the dead of winter...on top of a mountain. Terrain is extremely treacherous even in good conditions, but conditions are awful constantly. They also found a few bones from the unfortunates that got caught by the lurkers, they'd been slurped clean of marrow.

Overall they less patrolled and more sat by the Vehicle Bay doors and stared out into the white. They demand a scouting expedition before they'll patrol.

>Alert
-Lockdown is still in effect, you may shut it down from the Sec Hub at any time. This will unlock all bulkheads for a few minutes before you can reestablish control.

-The tunnel in the Power Hub continues to look ominous.

Your Sergeant and a cadre of your most elite troops all stood lined up inside the Security Hub, weapons all leveled at the bulkhead that held back god knows what horrors. Sergeant Grift himself was holding two of the assault rifles you had taken from your prisoners and no less than 6 armatures were deployed from his armor and pointing various obscure, but threatening looking devices at the door. In fact, the greater portion of the firepower your entire civilization could mustered was all pointed at the armored gateway.

The sniffling continues from the other side.

“Alright, do it.”

The tech expert that'd been bullied into being the one to shut down the lockdown paused for a moment to gulp down his nervousness, and then keyed in the shutdown sequence. There was a brief blip of acknowledgment from the console, and then it switched over to a blue screen with a progress bar ticking across it.

“Okay sir, it's done. 10 minutes until we have control again. The bulkheads should switch to automatic motion-sensor opening shortly.”

“Alright. Pack up into the armory for a while, I'll leave two guys here to keep you safe.”

“Sir.”

As if sensing the change, the snuffling on the other side of the door intensified. Something like pawing or scratching at the door could be heard.

Your troops, for their part, remained remarkably steady. You could scarcely hear them tightening their grips on their weapons, and even the Sergeant was proud of their fire discipline as the door raised to reveal what was on the other side.

----

Meanwhile in the Vehicle Bay your patrols continue as scheduled, but with the external doors closed (or as closed as they get now. Fucking bastard intruders did a number on them).

"Hey Graham."

"Yeah, what?"

"Did that big door and open hallway used to be there?"

"Well we're supposed to rip and tear. You heard the orders."

In front of your squad stood a short, stocky sort of quadruped creature. It did indeed look in all respects like a dog, and had the friendly mannerisms of one. Except for the head, currently tilted slightly to one side in a curious gesture, which appeared exactly like that of a Lurker. Complete with a dragging, semi-transparent tongue that trailed on the ground behind it for several meters.

"I'll phone it into command."

“Heh, damn right we do. Well fuck yeah I feel better about this now. You ready?”

“Yep, let's head on in.”

And so they did, for about 50 meters when the tunnel suddenly became a neat, tidy, and well lit corridor. Shit, it doesn't even have any dust in it like the rest of the base.

One of your troops stepped forward from the line holding a brown brick in half-undone foilwrap in one hand and lifting it towards the dog. While any human would've rightfully staggered back from the half-ton of armor whether it was acting friendly or not, the "dog-lurker" stood its ground. Flicking its long tongue through the air around the ration bar as if trying to determine if this was a trick or not.

After a few moments of this the creature stepped forward, wrapped a length of its tongue around the bar, and promptly turned around and ran back a few meters. A few disgusting swallowing noises could be heard, and the entire length of tongue retracted into the creature's head.

Then the creature was suddenly gone and replaced by something that was most definitely NOT a dog. NOT A DOG AT ALL, FUCK.

The first creature turned back to look at your line of troops who were still remarkably steady even while their dumbstruck-ness made itself known through the cold metal-ceramic composites of their armor. Behind your line of troops a horrified scream erupted momentarily as the Tech peaked around the corner, before he was quickly grabbed and muffled by one of your men.

The creatures all seemed to focus on the Tech for a moment, and drool issued from their fanged maws. Then with an eerie silence they turned around in unison and marched down the damaged corridor, continuing straight out of the base instead of turning towards the containment units. A few moments later at least 3 dozen more of the creatures emerged from the hallway to Containment, and marched out after the rest.

As the last one passed out of sight behind a bulkhead down your exit corridor all of your troops breathed an immense sigh of relief.

>What do?

...i want to kill something soo badly right now, my murder boner is COMPLETELY disappointing in the lack of meaningful trap here.....rip and tear = rescinded. new orders, secure containment, no humans, no reinforcements.
note: these dogs clearly seem to possess mind altering illusional powers, its explains alot. PSY-DOGS discovered.

I believe we are dealing with an instinctual, pack like creatures here. These lurkers? if that's what they're called.

My suspicions are:
-They are not unfamiliar with hunting humans or live prey, as evidenced by the instinctual drooling when hearing the techie scream
-They act in packs, as evidenced by their group behavior
-They are capable of recognizing threat and not-threat, as evidenced when one did not immediately attack our power armored soldiers, and passed by, even though they detected motion

They are very ugly, but if you look at it, I think you can almost treat them like a pack of wild dogs.

Wild dogs who are ugly as sin, could swallow a human whole, and are burrowing through the damn vault.

Still, I would like to say that while the simplest option would be to just start killing them, we don't know the extent of their numbers, and personally

Mutant Guard Dogs would be fucking cool.

I suggest we observe and get as much info, so if we do want to start killing we know how.

Whatever these creatures are, they aren't lurkers. Though one did seem to have a Lurker's head for a few minutes. Pic related is approximately a Lurker. Though they have a large additional maw in the middle of their bodies that's capable of eating a man in 2-4 bites. You'll find out more if you autopsy your available corpses.

I also think they might have made their nest in the containment unit, and what we just observed was them going out to hunt in packs.

>>41273122
Actually, change my vote to
-Pause a moment and catch your breath
-Wait for them to return

We'll want to move in when they're at the nest, so we can do further study, or at least have them all in one place rather than in place(s) we don't know

>>41273317
Yeah, it will be easier to kill them all in one spot than running around chasing after them.

remember how our perception of the animals, the room, and even there pack as a whole changed sharply once IT decided we weren't a threat, clearly mind altering of some sort. there is no chance in hell, im domesticating a beast, DOUBLE no TRIPLY so if its has even the smallest potential to have psyonic potential. (something WELL within probability considering the setting were in)

>>41273317
He has a point, whether we try to "domesticate" these things or kill them, it's best that we do it when they're all at their nest.

Let's wait for them to come back.

>>41273392
I want to make regular approaches with them in our power armor bringing food, until they associate our armor as friendly.

Maybe if we play our cards right we can figure out a way to lure them out of the base and into a cave outside or something. Get rid of them, have guard dogs who won't attack power armor somewhere nearby as convenient natural defense from our enemies, and we get our base back.

Granted, that's the long way around.

>>41273419
Let's just not leave snacks by the door, then they'll start snooping around our territory. Yeah, when the defenses kicked in, we'll see what happens.

>>41273066
Secure Containment, troops in the vehicle bay sit tight for now.

note: im assuming the path left is an exit from the facility of sorts, much like the vehicle bay doors. (which we should really get to defending/repairing asap.)

>Team dispatched into Containment.

The sight that greeted them in Containment was just as gristly and violent as they'd all expected. Blood, gore, sinew, bone, and generally every sort of bodily fluid you could imagine (and a few none of them had) painted the walls. What wasn't expected were the several dozen severed Lurker heads arranged in three semicircular rows staring at your troops as soon as the bulkhead opened. The tongues lied on the ground and between the heads in a pattern that could've almost been a spiderweb if there hadn't been something disturbingly...off about it. It wasn't until one of your soldiers accidentally stepped on one of the cords that they realized what was wrong.

Those tongues weren't coming out of the heads.

The cords immediately all seized up and wrapped around the unfortunate trooper in a net, and there was scarcely time for a scream before the net constricted on her and she was dragged around a corner into a busted open containment cell.

"SHIIIIII-"

A series of loud clangs and thumps ring out from the containment unit, then the sound of sheering metal and the firing of a rifle.

"HEeEELlLLL-"

"FINALLY SOme aCTION!! FUCK THAT THING UP, CHARGE!!!"

And so they did, a full fireteam rounding the corner and drawing weapons down just in time to see an unholy half-lobster half-spider splayed redolent and fat atop a mound of half eaten corpses of all sorts. It is at least double the size of your power-armored soldier, and is rapidly beating its unfortunate victim into the ground with rapid staccato strikes from 3 of its spiked limbs.

It doesn't even seem to be straining itself.

Your trooper for her part seems to be trying to retaliate but between being encased in a net and the spider physically embedding her armor into the metal floor with the force every strike...she is having very limited success. True to their training, and the auto-assists incorporated into their power armor your troopers brace themselves against the floor and open up onto the monster. They scarcely notice as their heels crunch down onto several more translucent cords.

They are all jerked separate directions and the electronic tinged screams of your troops emerges from four more containment cells, and soon thereafter 4 more staccato beats begin as metal tears and screeches.

If you decide on the latter it would be helpful if you had some specific sets/types of information in mind (identify some of the monsters you've seen, #s and strength of their faction, local area terrain, etc.).

You receive similar responses from all of your prisoners, none are willing to tell you anything about themselves or their faction. You have some limited success when you describe the monsters you've encountered thus far though. Particularly when you describe the dog-creatures a few emit gasps of surprise and become slightly more pliable to your questions.

The dog creatures are evidently called "Mutemutts" and are rarely seen on the surface, but when they are they're usually taking down some huge prey item. They're extremely intelligent, very vicious, ridiculously resilient, and are able to affect men's minds to various degrees. They rove around in bands of about 50 constantly staying on the move, never staying in any nest for more than a day or two.

Lurkers are something like a species of vermin of the area. Reproduction by eggs, twice as strong as a man, ambush predators that use their tongues as a lure for other monsters or a snare for humans. Occasionally they'll take a human alive and cocoon them to use their body heat as an incubator for their eggs. If they manage to get inside a naturally warm area their population explodes as they don't need incubators.

The spider-lobster things are called Murderkrabs, and there are several different strains of them. The ones you encountered seem to be one of the least dangerous, as they're mostly stationary except when they have to reset their snare-webs. They all feature 8 powerful, spiked limbs that they can use to tear prey items to bits or climb to unexpected locations and lay in ambush.

>>41279782
"Sounds like a dangerous world. I'm betting since you know of us remnants you've found other bases, or at least more of them.

>Repair/Defend the Vehicle Bay doors

The Vehicle Bay doors prove to be a relatively easy fix. A few gears and locks are replaced and it works just as well as it ever did. In fact, you were actually able to add some structural reinforcements and additional locking mechanisms to make sure no one will be able to crack it open nearly so easily again. Everything went very well, all in all.

The Murderkrab corpses proved to be another story altogether. Three of your armored troopers grabbed one from the Containment Unit and managed to drag it through your base leaving a horrible smelling brown fluid in their wake, mind you. It wasn't easy though, and at least 2 limbs have become disattached by the time they got to the science bay. Even still nothing of value had come apart (well, considering it'd been pumped full of bullet holes already) and your scientists and medical experts began the dissection. Which is when the real trouble started.

"Okay, we've already got 2 removed samples of its limbs. Let's start on more essential bits now. Where would you like to start?"

"From the top down always used to work for me."

"Alrighty, head first then...let's see what this fucker's cranial cavity is like.

Beginning procedure, I'll start by removing an eye for later analysis...fuck, I popped it. Gross, it leaks green shit. Oh well, still 7 more chances."

And then your lab caught on fire.

>Acquired information
-Murderkrab intense exothermic ichor reaction
>Lost
-1 Murderkrab corpse

It seems that for some goddamn reason the fluid from the eyes spontaneously ignites whenever it touches the brown ichor that was leaking out of the corpse all through the base. There was a brief but worryingly intense stream of fire that has caused superficial melting and damage through a large chunk of your base.

Somehow there were no casualties or injuries.

>Begin repairs of Containment

Repairs on the containment unit have begun. Engineer Sword reports that the exit hallway is a fucking mess, but that aside from the horrifically damaged (and incredibly smelly) cells the Containment unit has only moderate-to-severe damage.

He estimates that he'll need either 2 supplies, or 2 resources and 1 supply to fix it all.

>2 Supplies
>2 Resources 1 Supply

>Scout/Map East

Meanwhile, your Sergeant and a handful of elites gather up supplies for their journey and head out of your incredibly fucked up exit corridor. As the final airlock bulkhead separating the bunker from whatever is outside loudly grinds its way to the side with a distinctly geriatric motion your troops grunt in surprise.

Before them lies a vast open space dotted by stalagmites, stalagtites and pillars. It is a humongous, domed cavern evidently in the heart of your mountain. At least half a dozen miles of barren, multicolored rock lay before them. At the end of the empty stretch is a small concrete mound of unidentifiable purpose, and beyond that is a vast and interconnected network of chrome and concrete buildings in various states of decay. Flyways large enough for 50 men to walk side by side cross between towers carved out of impossibly large pillars. Even from this distance it is impressive. A swarm of multi-winged things weave their way through the buildings, there are even a few microclouds floating towards the top of the cavern. Screeches, screams, and roars of pain can be heard, all seeming to emanate from the city.

One of your men looks up at the ceiling, and notices a thick carpet of white, bony stalks. At their inverted base are 4 perpendicular legs terminating in zygodactyl digits that cling to the various formations of the ceiling. On the hanging end, all looking at your party of scouts, is a single bulbous and slick eye. They would be uniform if not for variances in types and number of pupils.

>>41283180
>>2 Resources 1 Supply

Rolled 15 (1d100)

>>41283180

After a few minutes of nervous staring, your soldier allows his eye to wander further. Across the vast distance of the ceiling are several more patches of the eyestalks, and other, less identifiable things that undulate, crawl, or slither their way along the roof. All the swarms save the one above your troops are slowly migrating, fleeing, or otherwise moving somehow.

"Well, we best be off. Better us see this shit first than it comes back to surprise us later."

And so your party of scouts set off, their swarm of eyestalk-monsters scurrying as a repulsive mirror to their trek along the ceiling.

"Alright, Krueger. This is the LAST eye. Last one. We get this one out and into the bucket and we should be all clear."

"Yes."

"Just this last one."

"Yep."

"Okay...I'm gonna take it out now."

Your surgeon slowly lowered his tools towards the last eye of the last murderkrab, and made an incision using a scalpel laser around the socket. The soft flesh smoked slightly as the scalpel cut into the flesh, and in its wake a small spoon shaped appendage dug into the incision.

The eye gently popped out of its socket in one whole piece. Not the least bit of green goo dripping from its mucous-covered surface. Your surgeon and his assistant simultaneously released their breaths.

"Phew."

"That went A LOT better than last time. Especially considering we did it out here in the containment unit instead of in the lab."

"Yeah, well we didn't want to pyro-shit to get dragged all over the base again in case we fucked up. It's all just concentrated into huge congealed piles here. Now toss this eye in the bucket and drop it off with the others in the science lab."

"Yessir, boss. Want me to bring the wagon of every single last Lurker corpse we have while I'm at it?"

"Sure, sounds like a good idea. I'll stay here and see if there's anything else in these fuckers that looks like it could set off a reaction."

So your surgeon's assistant deftly grabbed the handle of the bucket full of eyes and walked over to the wagon of Lurker cadavers. He was so happy at a job well done that he didn't even notice as one of your repairmen tossed the peel of an elongated yellow fruit into his path.

>Control the fire!

"Strelok, we've got a major fire going on in the Containment Unit! Activate fire suppression."

"My poooooorrrr containment unit! It's been through so much...I can't even check to see if you're telling the truth because of SOME IDIOT. Shit, I can't even tell if they're actually activating. Here goes nothing."

>Alert!
-Activating fire suppression systems

The fire suppression systems worked remarkably well...then again it IS a containment unit, so they would be top notch at this sort of stuff. By the time your fire suppression forces got there it was a nice and comfortable 70 degrees, with hardly any traces of the massive fire that'd been raging there only minutes before.

>Repair the sensors!
Engineer Sword has been sent to assess what damage has been done to the sensors, and how to fix them. His diagnostic goes remarkably well, the problem doesn't seem to be as bad as it looked originally. You'll just have to replace a handful of fuses at every sensor node.

A single Scientific supply should be enough to get all the sensors operating at the level they were before, easily. They'll still need the maintenance you tried to do last turn though.

>Look for a new tech hero

"Basewide Broadcast Announcement: Alert, this is Strelok speaking. Command requests any individuals talented in technical matters, particularly programming and AI, report for assessment."

Engineering Expert Sword pauses for a moment in his work, but starts again. Then stops and looks up at the sensor cluster he'd just finished fixing.

"Strelok, what was that again?"

"I said: Basewide Broadcast Announcement: Alert, this is Strelok speaking. Command requests any individuals talented in technical matters, particularly programming and AI, report for assessment. Why, Engineer Sword?"

"They're looking for a techie?"

"Yes, Engineer."

"...And they know that I'm the one that got you operational?"

"Yes, Engineer."

"And they still want someone else despite that?"

"It would seem so, Engineer."

"That's what I thought. Alright, Strelok. Thanks."

"Anytime, Mr. Roberto."

"What? What did you just call me?"

"I called you Mr. Roberto. Command requested that I modify the Engineering Expert entry in the registry from Sword to Roberto."

"Aah...I see...so they want someone else for the job then.

You know, Strelok. I always knew Command didn't have the brightest people at the helm but...this is a bit more than I signed up for."

"I understand, Roberto."

"Quit calling me that."

>Alert!
-Engineer Sword can no longer be detected on the sensors.
