I'm here.

Last time, we secured valuable assets and more staff members, however, The Mech specialist we wanted to join our ranks has killed himself having no hope in any resistance against the hostile alien forces.
(Cont.)

The clock is ticking, by the end of the month, Advent will pinpoint our location.

Made more fake bases 10 in brazil, 10 USA, 10 France, 10 Russia, 10 Nigera
>Ask for an advice from everyone.

>>45538165
you want 50 bases?

that is 50 Million dollars.

you sure?

>>45538209
how much money do we have?

>>45538063
>Wait for certain opportunities around the globe
if i remember well, in 4 days we'll have what it takes to cloak the base...

sorry for the delay, captcha is being a dick

>>45538063

Begin construction of a dummy base in Chile, South Africa, Canada, and Indonesia.

>>45538209
Fuck no.
It's obvious that the namefag doesn't know shit, hasn't read the pastebin, and shouldn't be allowed to make any decisions.

>>45538209
Also make that 100, add 10 in china, 10 in Mexico, 10 in Chile, 10 in Indonesia, and 10 in south africa.
Make so much bases we ourselves don't know which is which.

Rolled 4 (1d6)

>>45538235
it is alright anon.

>>45538235
We don't know if the cloaking field will become immediately available or it will be a new project.
Some amount of extra dud bases will always help, but having too many won't help us.

[2 days has passed, nothing to report]

Suddenly, the whole base experienced a strange power surge, lights were flickering, windows were shattered. However, it wasn't the alien's doing...

"Commander!" yelled Ishmael " Our test subject W-R6. It- She ... is free, confused. she already killed five men who tried to restrain her. Currently she is protecting herself inside a dome. What are your orders??"

>______

>>45538618
"stand clear of her living space, attempt peaceful communication?"
she's on the defensive, just panicked, it could be worse
W-R6 is that... husk of a psi captain, right?

>>45538747
She is powerful psionic individual who was experimented on by Advent. We 'rescued' her during our encounter with the Rouge thinman. Project P.S.I Isthmus is based on her should we construct it.

She has a twin. her location is unknown.

>>45538747
the one with no orifices if you recall

>>45538618
Attempt communication.
We mean her no harm, we do not wish to fight her.
Getting her cooperation is of utmost importance.

>>45538845
something tells me we'll meet her soon enough
>>45538863
yeah, that's the one i was thinking about

well, while truly communicating with her is still probably a long way ahead, maybe she'll be able to feel that we're not hostile towards her...

hmm, maybe have Brandon approach her, he's the one who got contacted by psi entities the most

>>45538747
>>45538945

"That's a negative commander, the aliens have stripped her senses. She only has her mind."

Although she no longer had eyes, she stared at the camera with her blank, featureless face. Horrors brew in the minds of whoever who witnessed her gaze.

"Commander, One of our soldiers claims that he can 'speak' with her. Should we let him do so?" Brandon asked.

"Madness! All of this!" Le Blanc was furious "Commander, that thing must be put down immediately! she is a threat to the whole operation!"

>Allow the soldier to communicate with her
>Give the order to gun her down

>>45539081
>Allow the soldier to communicate with her
well, let's do this...
if he's just insane/bluffing, things won't end well for him

>>45539081
>Allow the soldier to communicate with her

>>45539134
You knew you had to do this for the sake of everyone, you just didn't know how. So far, you acted as a receiver to all of these telepathic messages.

You approached the lab without a weapon, You found her cuddling in the farthest corner covered in gelatinous thick ooze with a psionic dome, it was more brilliant than anything you have encounter so far. Its radiance somehow soothed your mind.

You heard nothing but chaos around you but your mind heard an endless loop of soft weeping.

Think calming thoughts.
We are not here to harm her.

try to visualize something peaceful... like a clear field, with a tree... warm, natural, peaceful
(and see if she reacts, i guess?)

Let's dig deep into our memories, and put together a mental image.
A great field of green, as the wind playfully caresses the grass. The sun shines warmly on the myrad of flowers that dots the flat surface. Watching from the shades of a giant oak tree, blossoming. The tweeting birds sing into the peaceful silence.

>>45539703
Don't you think that's a little patronizing?
Peaceful images aren't enough.

>>45539734
we have to start somewhere, i guess

>>45539521
You thought of endless fields, clear skies but your thoughts slightly drifted towards Ann. Sometimes, you wished you would just take her and leave everything behind.
"YYYYYYYEEEEOOOWWWWWW YAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" her mind wailed, you found yourself of the floor, you nose and eyes and ears were bleeding. In her mind, she was trying to form any cohesive word but every attempt was a failure. Only gibberish came out of her mind.

"She is weak, too weak. Stretched, exploited endless times by us first....then by your kin. Leave her be and she will succumb. When you grow out of your weakness, try to speak with her." the oh so familiar sound rang inside your head. You barely managed to stand up. She didn't look much better either with her head occasionally resting on her shoulder.

>step forward
>say something to her verbally
>leave
>other

>>45539835
>step forward

>>45539835
What does "weakness" mean here?
The first time, it meant fear and shooting aliens that weren't attacking.
The second time, it was indecisiveness and giving in to the Thin Man's demands.

>>45539835
>leave

Listen to the voices.

>>45539835
>step forward
>think about what you'd say to her, try to repeat that in your head
"calm down, nobody here will hurt you"

>>45540115
The voice also said if we leave her be she will die.
Are you sure you're interpreting the rogue Ethereal's instructions correctly?

>>45540130
>>45539910
>>45540115
Despite the warnings, you stepped forward. The intensity of the screams grew more with each step until you passed out since you mind couldn't handle it. in your last moments of consciousnesses, you saw her sharing your same fate.

.
"Commander, I can assure you this incident won't occur again. we increased the dosage above normal threshold so the test subject will stay in this induced coma. As for our solider, Brandon needs rest, a week or so should suffice." Ishmael reported.

actual weakness. Her body, soul and mind are broken.

>>45540055
you mean Brandon's?

Right. He probably meant our psionic capability. like i said before, Brandon can only receive message. that's it.

>>45540341
well, that didn't really go as planned

[2 days has passed,our contact in France was wiped out by Advent forces]

New research/project available

>E.Y.E suit [2 Gulper corpses, 2 MIL, 50 ENG] : Commander, this is the closest thing we could achieve to render our soldiers invisible, clearly this is not as advanced as that of the alien forces but it will give us a certain edge in the battle field.
>Project E.Y.E [100 ENG, 100 SCI, 10 gulper corpses, 50 MIL, 50 power, 100 ELR-GEN, 1 week] We can cloak the entirety of the base with this device rendering us virtually untraceable.

Yes, instead of 50 power we have 200 thanks to the new generator

If we can, we may as well start another one, such as Sectoid autopsy.
