is everyone okay with yesterday's loadout?

>>45015434
Is the serum that people took when we went on that op with Hive still effective?
Also, we needed 2 more Body Armors.
There was 1 vote for 2 Advent Body Armor using Alloys and 1 vote for 2 Mod Body Armor.

>>45015434
Someone wanted to bring the TES Rifle but didn't say who to give it to.

>>45015505
Yes, it is permanent.

I went with alloys since we have lots of thems.

>>45015434
just the original team? sure

>>45015533
maybe Ann? we can give the hybrid carabine to someone else

>>45015544
So you went with 2 Advent Body Armors?
Are all of the soldiers that were on the op with Hive on this mission? Who doesn't have the antidote serum?
I know at least 1 soldier who was on that op has since died, and Crunch was on that mission but isn't on this loadout.

>>45015625
no, some weren't. they will have to avoid contact with him until they would be injected with serum

>>45015603
Whoever gets the TES Rifle needs lots of movement, needs to be accurate, and able to have fast reflexes.
That means Scouts, Support, Infantry, and Assault.

>>45015657
Perhaps we should just go with the original team members then?

>>45015749
hold on, looking through the archives first.

>>45015749
We'd be going in understrength with 7 instead of 10 soldiers. We'd lose a Heavy, Support, and Sniper.

this was the original team:

Jurgen Kai
Munn Lake
Yousef Khaleed
Baris Adrian [Dead]
Oleg Nestor
Adhira Pajeet
Brandon 'Will' Smith
Ann Vega
Andrew 'Crunch' Sanders
Jose Capuez [Critically wounded]

>>45015846
so shall we roll with 8 soldiers?

>>45015798
Then perhaps we should make use of S support for our guys on the ground using the ravens and the skyranger because this is an extraction machine that we need to move fast we cannot afford to wait for soldiers to hang around since they don't have the serum and cannot get close to hivhive

Is Big Sky's cockpit sealed from the troop hold? It'd be bad if Hive accidentally killed our Skyranger pilots.

And can we get a UAR chip installed on the Skyranger to increase their weapon accuracy?

>>45015970
sounds good.
>>45016002
concealed. alright, the chip will be installed.

we don't have a SHIV.

Rolled 89 (1d100)

we could try flanking them from the sides

we are in a dense jungle

Rolled 26 (1d100)

>>45016242
Drop to the south below the shack with Ann popping smoke before leaving Big Sky, and Oleg tagging mechs for everyone hit with their guns.
Big Sky fire your LMG's to suppress the mechs as Strike Team deploys. Any you take out is one less to worry about.

Crunch fires on as many mechs as you can with your TES. Try to hit at least 3; the combat serum should let him get in a couple shots.

Rolled 4, 5, 3 = 12 (3d6)

>>45016376
Hoping that Crunch hits and takes out 3 Mechs this turn.

Rolled 41 (1d100)

>>45016376

No suppression using big sky.

Those mechs carry really heavy weapons, we cant afford for our one ride to get taken out like that.
>>45016242

Land, flank and use our ravens instead for general air strikes.

Rolled 2 (1d2)

>>45016416
>>45016376
1=suppression
2=no supression

>>45016508

Well its just in general that trying to suppress robotic opponents is probably not going to work since they're immune to morale.

Also it means big sky will hang there like a helicopter, abit dangerous.

>>45016416
Big Sky is coming in to drop off Strike Team. Won't it be exposed to fire from the mechs regardless of whether it fires or not while Strike Team deploys?

>>45016558

Better a hot drop off than hanging around with its ass sticking out.

>>45016619
No matter what angle Big Sky comes in at, it will be exposed to fire from the Mechs.

>>45016739

And it will be exposed for a shorter period than hovering and shooting at the mechs.

With no place for a proper landing, Big sky dropped everyone via some ropes, the Mechs fired a couple of pot shots at the skyranger but none hit thankfully.

With lots of cover, your squad managed to eliminate the Mechs with Exalt's help of course. those, there was little time for TES shots since they require lots of charging and precision; the top priority was saving the Exalt Operatives

man, if we can, we should see if our guys can just manhandle one of the wrecks into the skyranger if it'll be fast with everyone helping.

all those delicious wrecks. even just one more would be nice.

>>45016763
It needs to hover anyway to drop off Strike Team.
What, you think Strike Team can jump out of a moving Skyranger and land on the ground unharmed?

>>45016778
Oh look, the Skyranger had to hover anyway. And instead of the UAR Chip firing the weapons independently while the pilots keep the Skyranger steady for the team to deploy, it did nothing.

>>45016778

Boss, can you give us a full list of what personnel Exalt transferred to us?

Theres one tactician, some engs and sci but I can't remember the numbers.

>>45016778
Patches and Munn, stabilize the Exalt Operatives for extraction.
Brandon, make contact with Hive.
Oleg, patch in Adhira and Kurt and keep an eye out for Advent reinforcements.

Everyone else grab an intact Mech wreck.
Big Sky, where's the closest landing zone you can use? Is the area near the mech wrecks clear?

>>45016885

It hovers and LEFT instead of hanging around.

Our troops used the tree cover and killed them all. The Sky Ranger is unable to use any cover and would have been a sitting duck for particle cannons if it stood around.

>>45016778
The Hive crawled out of the bunker, his eerie smile and disfigured face troubled most of your squad "So you did come eh? and just in time too..."

He handled you a small metal canister "Here is the serum, I am willing to stay in confinement until it is safe for you to deal with me."

Ann and Munn stabilized the wounded Exalt operatives. Most of them were heavily treated with MELD like Hive.

You had to leave the Mech wreck behind due to awful terrain/ no close landing zone.

Cont.

>>45017053
It could have been shooting as it came in and while Strike Team was deploying via ropes, and left as soon as they were on the ground. There was no need for it to stick around and continue if it already did fired its weapons while doing its other job.

>>45017085

Is there digital technical specs?

We need to transfer the thing back for the serum to be synthesized.

Speak with the Exalt members about how the mind control worked. Did they figure out any clues as to its operation or not.

We have a large number of personnel that Exalt gathered for us. The Tactician should immediately be put on non-critical work and some information should start to be restricted to XCOM only personnel. Like working on the USS AEGIS and the timetable for moving.

"Commander, the serum is on its way, by the end of today, all the personnel should be safe from these fumes, as for the mind control, the Exalt operatives have no clue or pattern about how this was orchestrated." Bradford clearly didn't like those deformed operatives, Robin was on the same team as well.

Ishmael on the other hand was happier than ever "Never have i had a chance for an intellectual conversation for a long , long time. With Dr. Usanagi around, everything related to MELD research will be cheaper and faster to create....new researches related to this subject will be available thanks to this brilliant doctor."

I remember there being more operatives so they must have had more weapons or armour from their dead comrades.

>>45017658
[ 6 Days has passed, Elite Mech wreck/ELR-GEN have been completed]

Dr Usanagi spoke highly of the Hive's uniqueness. He confirmed that his 'masterpiece' can not be replicated as he was the product of years of research, a living Bioweapon. As for the serum, it was under its way just like Bradford said.

Cont.
>>45017835
Hybrid weapons of their own, they are on par with us Weapon-wise

>>45017888
I mean is Advent/Exalt creating more serum for their own use as well.

>Elite Mech Wreck/ELR-GEN Completed

Begin USS AEGIS Work and Gulper Autopsy II.

We originally intended for Gulper to start as soon as the ELR-GEN was finished. Can we -1 day off Gulper II research?

Any new projects or intel from the research?

>>45018165
How quickly can the Blaster SHIV be made?
The regular SHIV needed Workshop space. Will this also require the same?

>>45018165
>>Start Research
Gulper II.

If we can shave off that 1 day, saying we queued it immediately after the ELR-GEN research, that'll be great.

>>45018289
in the same day of deployment to simplify things

>>45018414

Are we able to replicate the Particle Cannon?

>>45017986
we don't have enough SCI to work on the same protects at the same time

>>45018450
nope

>>45018414
Does that apply to the old SHIV now as well?

>>45018541
sure, why not.

>>45018289
>>45018585

Like this i guess we should build a shiv and maybe one of the other 2 drones before we start on a proper project?

>>45018628
anyone else?

>>45018628
the time is really against us, but sure

>>45018728
Can two SHIV fit in the Skyranger without losing a soldier slot?

I want to build a smoke drone, recon drone, Blaster SHIV, and a regular SHIV if we have the resources.

We may need to fight base defense soon, and two SHIVs would help.

>>45018853

Well I was thinking that if we can fit them in for one day constructions, then we might as well crank them out before we start on the big projects.

And since vigilo just said we can't do the USS Aegis and Gulper project at the same time, we should queue the ELR-Generator to start immediately after.

>>45018919
If the SHIV's and drones don't require days and workshop space to produce anymore, then we should be able to start the USS Aegis Project now, shouldn't we?

>>45019016
but we can't do most of the researches since preparing the Aegis will occupy a lot of SCI

>>45018919
>Start Research
>>Gulper 2

>>45019016

We don't have enough scientist to work on both Gulper 2 and USS Aegis.

Suggest we do Gulper 2 and build the ELR Generator at the same time first then since the gulper autopsy is the biggest SCI eater.

>>45018919
Does the ELR-GEN Generator have to be installed at this base, or could we build it here in Brazil and when we begin the USS Aegis Project, move to the Aegis?

>>45019051
I was going with the assumption that we weren't going to start the Gulper II research till the Aegis was operational.
You didn't say that Gulper II Research was started, so I assumed it wasn't started yet.

>>45019072
the generator is not portable, anon.
>>45019104
we can start gulper first if we want to

>>45019068
There's also the Workshop Project to build a secondary troop transport.
Don't forget about that. With it we could do two missions at once.

Though we should make another pair of smoke and recon drones for B Team.

>>45019137
>the generator is not portable, anon.

Fuck.

What of our base is actually portable.

Like this we should start the USS Aegis work immediately then.

soo research gulpers first, correct?

>>45019170
>Like this we should start the USS Aegis work immediately then.
If we make the second transport first, it could help in moving equipment and personnel to the Aegis.

>>45019170
if we can camo our base, we'll have more time to get the Aegis ready

>>45019209
Gulper 2 and 2nd plane at the same time?

>>45019204
And since you said that SHIV's and Drones can be built in a day, also start the Workshop Project
>New Aircraft? [1 MIL, 20 ENG, 1 week 200 Plane parts]

>>45019209
We actually can start moving out some of our non-essential items to caches in the artic i think

>>45019245
there is a difference between a small drone and a fully functional notskyranger anon. this will take a week

>>45019218
We could do that but our base will be a total loss eventually... We'll lose the investments into this base.

>>45019321
Boss, how much longer will a gulper stealth extend our bases' longevity?

>>45019321
You misunderstand.
I mentioned the SHIV and Drone being built in a day to illustrate that the Workshop is free to take on a new project now, instead of waiting the days we would have needed to do previously.

Guys, what the fuck?
Instead of building the second plane so we can hit two targets at once, you build a power supply we can't move once it's done, and when we're not yet close to needing it yet?

>>45019615
One should be awake in a day.

>>45019672

Because base detection is at 80 percent and likely to increase further. I do not have much hope we will get AEGIS online before we are found.

Hide delta base abit better, more time to prep AEGIS.

He, by himself. Will not.

But it helps us, bringing us closer to our goal and when our goal is met, we can and get you. And you won't be lonely again.

Guys, what if we link him to our recon drone inbase? Give it a voice synthesizer. Let it fly around, talking to people.

>>45020265
Look, he's helping us right now, but did you forget that he was originally built to exterminate XCOM?

Until we can give him an upgrade package that will rewrite that part of him, we shouldn't give him too much access to our equipment.

>>45020291

Give it a recon drone that has it's interfacing equipment removed. Just a camera, a hard drive, and mobility. Put a kill switch in it so it'll turn off if it leaves a certain area.

It may have been built to destroy us, but it was abandoned. Sure we can sort out the old programming.

>>45020291
Keep it happy and it'll be that much more motivated to not try and kill us? Smart computers that are smart enough can upgrade or patch themselves.

A small drone that can wander about, interacting with and building bonds with our staff will help in this regard. Make it less lonely, more willing to help us, more willing to rewrite itself to save us.

>>45020339
Then have Robin use an RC car, a laptop, and a webcam, then.
A drone, and actual drone, is too valuable for our strike teams.

>>45020358
I'm all for being One's buddy and being good enough friends with it so that it will overwrite its original purpose of destroying XCOM with helping XCOM.

But there's still a good chance that its original purpose will come to the fore for a small amount of time until it can rewrite that part, and One could still damage us in that small window of time.

Being friends with it does not require that we give it the chassis of one of our drones when a sessile unit in our lounge or secured area of our workshop will do.

Robin took it from here, discussing various issues with the A,I before it went black. Robin confirms that One will be up in 2 weeks.

Did One give us a visual on the target area?

>>45020439

Time is of the essence. What is at those coordinates? We don't want them to move our target.

>>45020479
nope, just a coordinates. the target is in a containment facility in Canada

>>45020439
well, send recon to these coordinates, just to know what we can expect
and then we're off for some rescue action

>>45020439
>>other
Get some recon in.

Maybe deploy a field operative to do some recon. If our recon drone can help, why not.

>>45020248
>>45020250
>>45020263
>>45020265
also, we shouldn't give it false hope and empty promises, it might backfire on the long run

>>45020499
Do we have any intel on the containment facility?
Ask Robert if his department can dig up anything on the facility.

>>45020513

It is only an empty promise if we don't try to follow up on them!

We have our mission, but that doesn't mean we can't find a way to work getting One off of Mars into it.

YES, it will be hard, it will take resources, and it may very well be done after this war is done. But by the gods, we will try to help our wayward ally on the red planet!

>>45020508
>>45020510
>>45020534

I think we will end it here actually, we will save/neutralize the target in the next thread. sorry about that


Thank you for participating.

>>45020513
hey we're doing what we can
and who knows, if at some point we can't be sure he won't attack us, we could probably send him some new elr-gen batteries

while a space robot going yandere for us would deeply amuse me, it would be too dangerous for the xcom project

>>45020568
thanks for running.
just to confirm, could we keep a canal always open for one without it being dangerous/bothering ? (except for whatever risks One could represent to us)

>>45020568
Were the new set of SHIV's and Drones built with UAR Chips?

>>45020631

We can install them. Don't think the UAR chips need days.

>>45020782
The point is that if we don't know now, and they don't have them, we're not going to get told that we need the chips when we put the SHIV's on the loadout until we're on the battlefield and can't give them orders.
