Hey, all DAQ players, I’m taking a moment before starting DAQ proper today because I want to talk about some things. Recently, I’ve seen a lot of anger among players when MCs in quests fail, or something bad happens to them. I’m not going to name names, or say whether or not I think one side is in the right or in the wrong. I’m just saying, I’ve seen some anger. I feel like this is something I should address now, rather than later.

You can fail in DAQ. You can die. I will be the first to say that it’ll be pretty hard to die in DAQ, mostly because I want to keep on running it, and I want to continue to build this story with you guys, and that’s hard to do if Ivan is choking on his own blood or bisected or burnt to a crisp or something else horrible. However, DAQ is not consequence free. You are a merc and so are many of your friends. Some of them might not come back. Some of them may die on a mission with you. Some of them may even betray you Full Disclosure: I have no planned treacheries, just saying, it isn’t impossible. On some level, I hope this makes you sad, or angry, or distressed in some way. It means I’ve made you care about that character.

The point is, that when something bad does happen, because it probably will, don’t view it as an insurmountable hump, and certainly don’t think that I, the QM, am just doing it because I hate you and want to fuck with you. I like watching you guys triumph. I really do enjoy watching you and Ivan succeed. However, sometimes failure is necessary, if only so that we, yes you and me, can properly appreciate success. Sometimes, whether or not you’ll see a character again will just come down to me rolling 3d10 at my desk, hoping to beat that 7 DC. I do not want to write bad things happening to you guys. I happen to quite like you for willingly sitting down and waiting for me to write out my slow-ass updates. However, sometimes bad things need to happen to push the story forward. I promise I’ll hate writing it just as much as you’ll hate reading it.

Now that all that’s been said, I don’t see any horrendous suffering in the immediate future. I’m not trying to cover my ass because in four threads all of your friends will be dead and I’ll be laughing behind my monitor saying “But anon, I TOLD you this could happen!”. DAQ is first a foremost a fun, hopefully humorous, quest with a healthy serving of action and tactics. I intend to keep writing it as such. That’s what you came here for, and that’s what I intend to deliver.

Thanks for taking the time to read the wall of text, and thanks for playing DAQ!

“Well, we don’t necessarily have to destroy the base…” you mutter, trailing off at the end. “We just need to eliminate all of the LLS personnel in the base or something else along those lines to render it unusable, force them to evacuate.”

“Yes, perhaps that is possible, Kostov-san.”

“But either way, we need to let Clayton and Cy know about this. C’mon, we have a rendezvous point back at the mess hall.”

You take point and lead Tsukino back to the mess hall, the pair of you moving as fast as possible through the winding corridors. You keep on double checking your comm icons. Cy and Clayton’s remain determinedly yellow. You run up to the mess hall airlock doors and key them open.

You can see someone standing in the middle of the mess hall. They are tall. Much taller than a normal human. The man is covered in a mechanical exoskeleton, the framework plugged into an ENBI uplink grafted into his spine. Suddenly, he’s crouching, arm hanging low, as if he’s thrown something.

You look up.

There is a table.

It is headed for your face.

The table soars through the air, taking wing on the recycled atmosphere like a bird. Adrenaline kicks in, flooding your brain. You seize Tsukino by the arm, dragging her alongside of you as you leap sideways, sliding across the mess hall floor. The two of you skid to a stop just as the metal table strikes the opposite wall, clattering against the metal door frame.

Tsukino disentangles herself from you and the pair of you stand upright, weapons drawn. You note that Tsukino is armed with some sort of katana, although you doubt the neon highlights on it are traditional, and a silenced pistol. You notice her taking stock of your revolver and tomahawk. Less than a picosecond of eye contact, then the two of you face your opponent.

Fucking Hell. He is tall. Almost two and a half meters in his suit, metal exo-skeletal struts accentuating bulging muscles. He smiles. It is the same smile Valkyrie gave you. You are about to get fucked, this time in a less literal sense. You hope.

“Well, look here at disya, mon. Two baby mercs, all alone in de big ol’ moon base.”

You take an involuntary step back as he punches his fists together. The movements framed by a mechanical whine.

“I was thinkin’ of leavin’ yah both alone,” he sighs, shrugging, “but credits is credits. Even if dey come from de Babylon.”

“Th-the Babylon?”

“De system, mon!” cries the huge man, exasperation somehow mingling with psychosis, “Yah’llre slaves and servants to de system, to dey're credits and plots and ploys. Dancin’ on a string like a zombi for your masters.”

Rolled 9, 5, 9 = 23

>>29907248
Yeah, it's normal in quest threads to argue and debate

Tsukino’s comm icon appears in your HUD. Now’s not really the time, but you figure she knows that. You open the channel.

“Kostov-san. I think I know of this man.”

“Oh good, cause I’ve got no fucking clue.”

“My father told me about him once. He is some sort of anarchist freelance mercenary. He serves his own inscrutable agenda. My father fought him once. Sixty years ago.”

“Well, either you’re a lot older than you let on, Tsukino, or your dad made it outta that fight in alive.”

“Alive yes, but not unharmed. We must be careful.”

You refocus on the man ahead of you. His arms are crossed, metal foot tapping loudly against the base floor. “Yah done talkin to your woman?” he asks, laughing. “Good. Ain’t polite to keep people waitin.”

He raises both fists into the air, the ranged weaponry attached to his forearms lie dead, unpowered. “Now, gimme a show, boy.”

>Plan of Attack required.
>Temporary control gained: Tsukino!
>Better work her into your plans, she’ll be following your lead for this fight.

>>29907248
thanks for the info anon.I guess I'm getting used to people flaming me for being a namefag and all that.
>4chan, deal with it

>>29907218
Not really, right now, we're just posting harmless things while FG writes.

Shitposting is to the direct detriment of the thread, when you start hijacking it from its intended purpose, arguing for the sake of arguing and being unreasonable.

>>29907312
i assume tsukino's scifi katana is actually suitable for armored units?

>>29907312
Let's party

>charge to the sides,try to flank
>Tsukino distracts him, we try to ax his spinal controller

>>29907312
We need to bait him into attacking us and we need to keep dodging him and getting in the occasional hit on him, but we need to get Tsukino to flank around him, on the edge of our fight, then when he is focused on us baiting him, she shoves that fancy katana right up his arse.

I'm guessing he does not have or primarily employ ranged weapons because he threw a fucking table at us first, if thats the case, we should open up on him with an OMP in one hand, when it runs dry, abandon it for our revolver, once he gets in close we need to be fast, evade his blows and occasionaly hit him with the 223 or the 'hawk, all while keeping him distracted for Tsukino

>>29907356
Bladed weapons are in general worse against armor than your tomahawk would be. Tsukino's katana is a gift from her father though, so it's much better than what you, as the MC, would've started out with had you chosen a sword as your melee weapon.

All that said, however, The Tall Guy's exosuit, along with the rest of him, is on par with the Senior Partners, think Darius and Valkyrie, so Tsukino's sword isn't about to one shot him

>>29907312
Lets have Tsukino loop around, and try to go for his legs or joints from behind. She seems more agile than us.
Meanwhile, we charge head on, since I bet we're sturdier. Go for the shoulders or hips, generally try to cripple him.

>>29907320
Being a namefag kind of goes against the spirit of 4chan.

>>29907413
nah, he does have ranged, they're just powered down. If we go ranged, he goes ranged.

>>29907312
>give him a show
>start juggling

>actually start plan

Rolled 2, 10, 5 = 17

>>29907413
Sounds like a plan.

>>29907312

We could always lure him into an airlock and shoot him into space if things get ugly.

>>29907497
>nah, he does have ranged, they're just powered down. If we go ranged, he goes ranged.
I didn't read anywhere he did, so I must be blind

>>29907512
I like the airlock idea as a backup plan.

I think we should be the attacker and Tsukino should distract since fallguy said here>>29907427
that our tomahawk has better AP

>>29907512
pretty sure he's better equipped for spacefighting than we are.

based on >>29907427, i would use the tomahawk to disable his arms, while Tsukino goes for the legs, but that's only for melee.

>>29907544
> the ranged weaponry attached to his forearms lie dead, unpowered.
I THINK that means he can turn them on as soon as he finds cover. It's a slight handicap for him, but he's not screwed the moment we pull a gun.

>>29907497
what if we cripple his guns and then go with that plan.

>>29907659
Yeah, that would be a good start.

But I think if we opened with guns, so would he, so lets give him a show, start the fight with the pretense of melee, get in close, fuck up his guns, then we bait him and slowly wear him down between us and Tsukino

Alright, so I'm seeing a flanking maneuver with Tsukino, where you draw his attention with gunfire. If he charges at you or does anything else, you engage him at close quarters, with an emphasis on avoiding his blows. Try to damage his arms.

I assume Tsukino will try to slash at his less protected joints from behind.

Action Sequence:
>Stay in place while Tsukino attempts to flank
>Draw attention with gunfire x3
>Once you empty your mag/chamber or anything else develops that makes ranged no longer a viable action, move to engage
>Dodge attacks x3
>Try to hit forearms

That'll be...

“Tsukino,” you mutter over the channel, “I’ll draw his attention. you flank and engage at close range once there’s an opening.”

“Yes, right away.”

As Tsukino slips away to the left, you holster your Model 223 and take a few steps forward. You bring the OMP up to firing position.

“Aww, c’mon now,” complains the giant in the exo-suit, “shoulda figured yah bald-heads wouldn’t play fair.”

You ignore his complaints and open fire. Rounds spew forth from the OMP, all striking home on his suit’s chest plate. They bounce off of the armor, deflected around the room. A few shots whizz by your head, and one blows out a lighting fixture. The room flickers between twilight and midday. The giant just laughs. Swearing, you throw the OMP to the ground and draw your Model 223 once more, taking potshots at his immobile form.

The giant’s laughter cuts for a moment as he grips an unarmored section of his torso. You smirk, satisfied by this first success. “Bloodfire! Dat’s what I get for playin’ nice wit’ bald heads…”

The giant’s voice fades as he brings an arm up, pointing at you. You don’t realize he’s fired until your brain registers the wave of heat. Touching your side in shock, you're pleasantly surprised to confirm that the right half of your torso is still intact. Looking over your shoulder, you stare at the wall of the base. The metal is glowing white hot, almost blinding to view. Turning your attention back to the giant, you see him lower his arm, chuckling.

“Now mon, yah gonna box me, or am I gonna have to shot yah wit’ my plasma?”

Damn. There goes your hope of ranged engagement. Gritting your teeth, you lower yourself into a sprint, charging straight at the giant. He roars with mirth once more and begins to run towards you as well. “Found yah mojo!?”

>>29908523
>Thought I missed
not
>I missed

>>29908546
Yep. Knew I fucked the plan with that 8...

Rolled 3, 6, 1 = 10

>>29908591
well, at least we got his attention

You might have a tomahawk, but this guy is a goddamn giant. You’re in his range well before he’s in yours. He greets you with a massive metal fist, fast despite it’s size. Part of your brain realizes you can’t change direction fast enough to avoid it, and you allow yourself to fall to the ground, sliding on your chest plate. The giant’s fist whooshes over your head.

You roll away and to the left, narrowly evading skull crushing stomps. Shooting to your feet, you execute a wild downward strike with your tomahawk. You get very lucky, striking the unarmored area on the inside of his elbow. The giant grunts in pain as the seismic amplifier activates, a wave of pure concussive energy shattering every bone in his right arm.

At least, that’s what you thought would have happened. Instead the grunt twists and warps, changing into raucous laughter. The giant flexes, trapping your tomahawk between his forearm and bicep. You try to yank to tomahawk free. A mistake.

The giant seizes your chest with a single massive hand, hoisting you into the air. A flick of his wrist and you are flying backwards.

Soaring.

Heh.

Just like the table.

You smack into the opposite wall. An ominous crunch. It would have worried you, were you not too busy vomiting into your helmet.

As you slide to the ground, you see Tsukino leap backwards from a backhanded sweep. So close.

>>29908610
I wonder if his plasma cannon could set off the bomb we have strapped to our back?

Rolled 9, 10, 7 = 26

Tsukino flips backwards, evading the wild back arm sweep. The move wasn’t anything close to a proper attack, but considering what that Ogre just did to Kostov-san, she doesn’t doubt the effect it would have on her.

The Ogre stomps in place as he turns to face Tsukino, insane peals of laughter filling the mess hall. “One sent to Zion!”

The Giant slams his fist into his other hand.

“Not long till he’s got a dawta to keep company.”

>You are in control of Tsukino!
>Kostov-san got pretty messed up.
>You'll need a plan of attack until Kostov-san is back in the fight.
>Rolling a Grit check to see how quickly he’s back on his feet

Guys could we possible use the bomb and a weapon? Its a shaped charge... It certainly would be dangerous but hed be GONE. Thoughts?

>>29908662
Tomahawk is still in his arm, right? If we hit it with enough force, the amplifier might kick in.

As well, let's not forget that Kostov-san found an exposed region with his revolver.

>>29908694

Rolled 4, 6, 7 = 17

>>29908662
>>You are in control of Tsukino!
Lure him out of the room and lose him inside the base.

Afterward, we could retrieve the bomb inside Ivan's pack and try to plant it on the back of that fucker then detonate it.

A terrible idea I know.

>>29908718
No, it's meant STRUCTURAL damage. Shit would end us.

>>29908662
Kostov-san has a lot of grit, good man.

Try to keep to the Giant's right side, Kostov-san landed a solid blow there, it may not have done too much to such a foe, but it may slow him down just enough to give us an advantage.

Aim for the inside of his knee and any unarmored sections of his legs, try to slow him down enough to go for more vital areas. Learn what his range is and dance in and out of it, never stay close to him for too long. Also aim for the wound Kostov-san opened up on his right arm if we have a chance, we may be able to deepen it.

>>29908750
It's a shaped charge. Briefing from last thread said that as long as we weren't within 10 meters of its detonation, the only thing that'd hit armor would probably be shrapnel - and we're wearing armor for that.

>>29908718
Actually, speaking of the bomb, wasn't that on Ivan's back?
Didn't we just hit the wall with enough force to crack it, back-first?

>>29908768
>Kostov-san landed a solid blow there
maybe we could retrive Kostov-san's tomahawk and go to town on the Ogre

Fall Guy, could we get some reiteration on the blast radius/power of the bomb?

Fall Guy, could we also get the dimensions of the room?

Rolled 4, 1, 7 = 12

So, how is this:
1-lure him out
2-sneak back in the room we are currently in
3-retrieve bomb
4-plant it into a room
5-Lure the giant in
6-boom

>>29908826
...it's a shaped charge right? We need to be careful to aim it nowhere critical if we want to survive the aftermath of this.

>>29908826
Or, if the room is larger than 12 meters.

1-Roll bomb
2-Have Ivan fire at it to detonate
3-Brace for impact

Rolled 6, 2, 9 = 17

>>29908862
Even an indirect blow should deal enough damage to make him flee.

I say we take his gun out then we can fire on him as much as we want. plus if we use that bomb we really won't have any other choice then to just clear the whole base and I don't like not having only one plan.

>>29908870
Isn't the bomb immune to small arms fire?

>>29908826
Ivan's gonna be pissed if Tall Guy doesn't take the bait.

Still, more or less seconded.

>>29908870
gunfire usually doesn't set off bombs. Only hollywood bombs do that.

>>29908862
Everybody is geared for space, so it can't be too dangerous.

>>29908895
we were planning to scrap the whole "destroy the base" plan anyway. Also, I very much doubt we can take out his giant plasma gun.

>>29908904
Killbourne neglected to say, our HR contact said they skirted the issue

so yes, its very sensitive to gunfire

>>29908904
No.

>>29908931
>gunfire usually doesn't set off bombs. Only hollywood bombs do that.
Please, reread the briefing about the bombs last thread.

Wait. The suit is plugged into him, right? Think we could cut the connection?

>>29908780
>>29908823
Indeed, let me completely make some stuff up check my notes

The room is about 25 meters long, and perhaps 10-15 meters wide.

The Bomb is meant for mining operations to break through iron walls of meteorites and the like. It'll certainly do a number of the Giant/Ogre, but it'll be very difficult to have it detonate correctly, since it has a built in delay of about ninety seconds. So people can get clear of the blast.

>>29908774
Ivan struck the wall with his upper back and shoulders mostly, so the bomb was spared the brunt of the blow.

Gonna compile your votes into a plan of attack in a few minutes

>>29908931
>>29908904

Our 223 doesn't really count as anything near small arms fire though.

If it can take a hit from that then there wouldn't have been any reason for HR to warn us about getting shot.

>>29908931
>Also, I very much doubt we can take out his giant plasma gun.
We may not be able to, but it can be something Tsukino aims for, if we feint for his joints and he's protecting them he may not have a chance to protect his plasma-fucker-2000 at the same time.
Of course then it's a matter of whether or not we should go for the gun with the katana, or the silenced pistol... which are kinda light weapons.

>>29908931
why not I mean its just made of metal right? And our tomahawk has been pretty at cutting trough that stuff.

>>29908997

Yeah, but that doesn't matter if we shoot it though.

I say we go for >>29908870

>>29908997
Damn, I was worried about that. Thanks Fall Guy, Btw A lot of respect for your starting post at the top, even if I did experience some trepidation at the thought of Ivan getting murdered horribly defeated.

You know if we miss the shot with our revolver he's going to throw the bomb at us or Tsukino, right?

Also, if we're really going ahead with that we need to warn Tsukino is GTFO of the way.

>>29909127
we need to set it up facing the way he would encounter it, Tsukino can run past and bait him into it and get clear before we fire, but yea, it would be a very risky plan to pull off

Alright! So, I'm seeing a lot of really good, although not necessarily compatible plans here. Let me see what I can do here.

Tsukino will attempt to engage the Ogre (Now retconned to 'Oni' don't know why I didn't start calling him that in the first place), staying on his right, where his arm is injured.

Once she has his attention, she will retreat from the Oni, drawing him out of the mess hall. Then she will attempt to stealth away from him and retrieve the bomb.

She will then rig it to detonate, drag Kostov-san clear, and attempt to finish off the Oni with the explosion.

>Engage Oni x3 rolls

>Attempt to lose him by escaping into the vents or something else
>Sneak back to mess hall

>but I’m not sure how well they handle getting shot
Assuming Kilburne follows ANY sort of SANE operating procedures(they probably don't, which is why it had a hazard pay), and since it's built with a 90 second delay, there SHOULD be failsafes in place. Whether that means that getting it shot will just render the bomb useless or trigger the 90 second delay, who knows?

>time to start sperging about bombs
bombs have a main combustible element, and an ignition device. For gunpowder and older bombs, any sort of fire can act as an ignition, but for newer, more powerful explosives, it's different. Their ignition device is usually a really tiny bomb on its own, built to ONLY go off when properly switched. You could shoot the sorta inert explosives, and nothing would happen. If you happened to hit the ignition device, there's still a good chance that it won't go off, or the bullet will push it out of contact with the explosives.

that being said, more failsafes are usually(read: not right now) in place incase of really bad accidents, which means that shooting it to make it blow up is still possible.

bullets. don't. work that way. They aren't on fire, and even incindiary rounds wouldn't do it. Shooting it is more dangerous than throwing it head-on at a wall, but it's already stated that it can take a bit of punishment in that category.

those are not the only options, and real bombs can be unstable as fuck, the thinking that modern ordinance is all inert and bulletproof gets plenty of people blown the fuck up, just ask the AQ and their fun adventures with anfo and its derivatives

>>29909642
my point is just that real bombs will not 100% go off when shot. Also shooting them might wreck the "shaped" part of the shaped charge.

>>29909607
I'm not against letting realism take a backseat, but just...how far back? I mean, guns are still important enough to carry around despite awesome melee.

>>29909748
You should also keep in mind that these are just bombs that megacorps hand off to their totally expendable workers. I would assume they engineered some supremely volatile explosive that is just stable enough that it doesn't blow the guy carrying it into chunks,

>>29909796
fine then, I suppose you also have an arguement for the shaped charge somehow still being able to direct the explosion even after getting shot, so I'll drop it.

>>29909866
It's in a cave, the cave itself directs the explosion.

BOOM.

Argument demolished.

Was that a shaped charge?

Rolled 6, 6, 1 = 13

>>29909866
s shaped charge is not magically rendered into an omni-directional bomb by simple damage, sure you can fuck it up, make it leak the blast and fuck up the jet of energy or you could outright just make it fizzle and die without going boom

there are many many ways to construct a shaped charge, and all of them would be affected differently to being shot in different places and different ways

the construction to ensure a shaped charge is contained and directed effectively is not magically erased from existence when you hit it with kinetic energy, the results are anything but concrete

>>29909919
Yes.

Tsukino watches numbly as the Oni yanks Kostov-san’s tomahawk out from his arm, tossing it to the ground. Bright red bloods drips from the black head of the axe. Her eyes widen with horror as steam rises from the wound. A tell tale sign of hyper-fast regenerative factors. She swallows, before steeling herself. Father would not approve of such cowardice.

Tsukino circles around the Oni until her back is to the corridor she and Kostov-san arrived from. Even if he does have hyper-accelerated healing, he will not have fully recovered from that blow. Stick to his right. Tsukino takes a few steps back. The Oni takes a few more forward.

She lashes out with her katana, the blade glowing in the half light. It drags against the Oni’s forearm protectors. Orange sparks contrast with neon blue lights.

The Oni chuckles and lashes out. Too slow. Her father trained Tsukino for many long hours until she could reliably dodge his Iaijutsu. Well, maybe not dodge… Regardless, the Oni’s fist moves as though through water. Slow and exaggerated. She evades the blows with ease, leading him back to the corridor.

“Bludclot, woman! Stay still!”

Deciding the Oni is sufficently incensed against her, Tsukino truns tail and runs down the hallway. Loud clunking footsteps vindicate her plan. Sprinting as softly as possible, she returns to the hallway where she met Kostov-san, and leaps into the open vent.

She slides the cover in place just in time. The Oni storms past her, cursing. Moving quickly, she lowers herself back down out of the ventilation shaft and sprints back to the mess hall and her downed comrade, taking care to close the airlock doors behind her as she runs. Tsukino does not think that will stop the Oni. But it might slow him down. A little. Just a little.

>>29910070
>>29906172
>pic related
those are now the mental images I have of Tsukino and Ivan

>>29910070
This reminds me, we'll eventually want thermals/electromag/nightvision goggles or eyes to make sure people aren't hiding in walls or vents. Would be great for scouting, too.

>>29910070
Tsukino stumbles into the mess hall, eyes focused on the slumped form of Kostov-san. Only, there is no Kostov-san slumped against the opposite wall.

There is a merc standing in his place. He wears all of Kostov-san’s armor, except for the helmet. That lies on the floor, a few meters away.

However, this cannot be Kostov-san.

Kostov-san would never bear such an expression.

You are Ivan Parkas Kostov. About five minutes ago, some Giant rasta fuck threw you into a wall. You know the force of the impact made you throw up, you nearly drowned on it when it filled your helmet.

You do not care.

You think your right shoulder is broken.

You do not care.

Tsukino looks at you from across the room. She is terrified.

You do not care.

All you, Ivan Parkas Kostov, care about is High Impact Conflict Resolution.

Could we rig the bomb to the airlock doors, so that when he opens one to come get us, and walks in, it goes off in his face, facing the door he just entered with the closed airlock door hopefully containing and forcing more of the blast towards the Oni.

We learned that going for the joints was a bad idea, so instead let's do a pincer attack with Tsukino aiming for more critical points with the axe, like the head. And the face. And the face.

He'll want to focus on defending himself from us, again, but our rush permits tsukino to make a more precise strike.

So, are we going to use the bomb or just tear him limb from limb?

Pick up a table. Throw it at the rastagiant when he walks in. Chop him to fucking bits.

>>29910162
Our goal in this fight is to be big, scary, and distracting. Try not to get hit too, get inside his guard, duck and weave his attacks. We're smashing into him with an axe, don't get hit, if we can plant our tomahawk in his face so much the better. If we see a good opportunity to punch him or kick him take it, every part of our body is a weapon. If he grabs us and lifts us up headbutt him. Also, the balls, if we can axe him in the balls go for it, it might actually hurt him.

While we're grabbing attention and applying brute force to the Oni Tsukino can aim for vulnerable areas and takes advantage of his focus being on the very angry Russian trying to plant an axe in his testicles and face.

>>29910162
Are there any heavy objects? Or flammable objects? Or any heavy flammable objects? Because we should throw stuff at the Oni when we see him, heavy stuff, sharp stuff, burning stuff, whatever combination of these we can manage.

Except our tomahawk, don't throw that, we're going to chop his face apart with it.

You walk forward. Footsteps echo in the cavernous room. Tsukino side steps out of your way, eyes wide. Leaning over, you retrieve your tomahawk. You shift your grip on the handle, squeezing the weapon compulsively.

You can hear him coming. Tsukino can too. Distant clanging as he rips apart airlocks. You see her flinch out of the corner of your eye as she removes the Det Core. You focus on the sealed doors. Tsukino knows what she must do.

Clanging, louder than ever. He is at the final airlock. Tsukino starts. You smile.

The metal of the doors bulges out. Shaped like a fist. Two more strikes and the gap is wide enough. The Giant’s fingers are in between the two slabs of steel. They push. Steel buckles. Psychotic laughter fills the room.

Your smile only widens.

The Giant strides forward. You do the same. He is sprinting now. So are you. His howls of laughter are at a fever pitch. But you hear nothing. The Giant moves as if in slow motion, fist dragging through the air.

You leap above it.

The Giant’s helmet tilts up to look at you. You wink as you stomp down with both feet. Right onto the healing wound.

The Giant screams his anguish as you roll away. Still smiling.

You blitz forward, tackling the Giant’s side as you bring the tomahawk to bear once more. The seismic amplifier thrums as it triggers again and again.

You slip off of the Giant, rolling your left shoulder to do so. The Giant’s hands only grasp air.
You turn around to face him, just in time to see his fist closing. You don’t dodge it. You roll with the blow, letting it knock you back a few feet.

“Bloodfire an’ Bloodclot an’ to Satan’s ass wit’ yah!”

>>29911007
please elaborate for me...

>>29911098
i listen to this when im doing my labs.

You laugh. The first time you’ve made a sound since rising to your feet.

The Giant falls silent as you walk forward. A few punches. Easily dodged. You stand before him, and he stares down at you, chest wide open. You place a foot on his sternum and kick.

The Giant crashes backwards and skids into a different corridor than the one Tsukino lead him down. As the airlock doors seal shut you start to collapse to the ground, spent. Arms catch you. They are not Tsukino’s arms. Clayton Burnside drags you back from the airlock door, your feet scraping the ground all the way back to the opposite side of the mess hall.

A muffled rumble.

“Alright, mate. Don’t you fuckin’ give out on us, we still need ya.”

Your face relaxes into a more human smile.

“C’mon now. Cyrus and I might’ve figured out a new way to skin this wallaby.”

*mutters something about throwing tables.

>>29911567
Hard to nut in a hard vacuum. Unless you want to loss your nuts in the process I suppose.

>>29911591

He's a NAMED Character. *dun dun dun * I don't think we've seen the last of Oni yet...

>>29911622
Pretty sure Tsukino got the kill and we got an assist.

>>29911175
HEREEEEEEEES COMES IIIVAAAAAAAAN!

>>29911622
Really the best response we could make.

Rolled 6, 6, 2 = 14

>>29911639
this does not seem like that kind of quest

and how the fuck would he survive and get away to become a recurring villain?

he ain't, cause we just knocked him the fuck out and blew him up

I like the rasta hippie fuck one.

>>29911667
You keep saying that. Mind pointing out where that happened?

>>29911709
>A muffled rumble.
after the airlock doors close and we get dragged away

>>29911709
this^

We only kicked him out into another corridor.

>>29911734
That's called the voice of a Black man with a Helmet on.

>>29911752
>That's called the voice of a Black man with a Helmet on.
its pretty clearly the bomb going off
>You see her flinch out of the corner of your eye as she removes the Det Core. You focus on the sealed doors. Tsukino knows what she must do.

>>29911649
shit I meant HERES IVAN! like the shining cuase he has an axe.

>>29911790
>>29911752
Or you both could ask FG for clarification.

>>29911667
Well, if this was Shadowrun, he could Hand of God that death scene, particularly since we can't see him right now.

Besides which, I kind of want him to survive. Not many games have I seen a mecha Rastafarian, and I kind of like to think of him as a possible rival merc.

>>29911809
Fufufufufufu. Silly round eye. Not understanding asian miwitary genyas

>>29911825

He's a rival who eventually allies with us for mutual revenge...

>>29911825
I really really don't want that to happen, as it cheapens everything and he just becomes a random recurring cliched cartoon villain.

>>29911175
So, we're basically Guts when we're mad.

>>29911894
This is pretty likely, considering the Rastas weird conception of honor he might help us out of respect for our abilities.

>>29911947
Oh fuck yes! Hmm, we're going to need to get progressively heavier axes.

Rolled 1, 7, 4 = 12

>>29912003
Or a chainsaw axe.
Or a powersword.

>>29911947
...It's a shame we don't have a fairy to keep us alive.

>>29912003
So, we're turning into an angry Hector?

“Huh. Huhuhuhahaha!” You howl with laughter, a mixture of shock and relief surging within your chest. Clayton gives your shoulder a friendly shake. “Alrgiht mate, let it out.”

You do, roaring with laughter before breaking down into a fit of coughing. You inhale deeply, throat rasping. “Better be something explosive, otherwise I’m going back there and kicking his shit in.”

Cy slips your helmet back on, vomit mostly gone. Clayton’s face appears in your HUD. He rolls his eyes. “Think Ms. Tsukino took care of that one for us. Didn’t you notice what was clamped to his back when you kicked him through the airlock?”

You shake your head slowly. Tsukino opens a comm channel with you. “I placed your Det Core on his armor when you were tackling him, Kostov-semp...san. That was the rumbling.”

“Oh. That still counts as mine, right?”

Clayton and Cy both roar with laughter at the question. “Mate, you went toe to toe with the bloody Dreads. Ain’t no one about to stop you from claiming it as your kill.”

As you cough into your helmet, Clayton continues, “No, I was talking about a different wallaby. This base is still loaded to the gills with LLS personnel. Too many to kill. But I managed to find something I think you can work with, Ivan.”

And don't forget the seismic amplifier.

“Ughhhh,” you groan, your exertions catching up to you, “What is it?”

“Life support.”

“Burnside-sempai,” interrupts Tsukino hurriedly, “I have discovered a large number of Kilburne personnel, I think miners, who have been taken prisoner by the LLS operation here.”

Clayton and Cy lift you to your feet. Cy comms in on the squad channel. “Think they can all fit on one HOEV, Tsukino?”

“...Perhaps…”

“Well then! You go off with Cy and bring the civvies back here, and Ivan and I will go off the resolve the life support issue.”

Tsukino nods and turns to leave. Cy follows her, giving you the double thumbs up. You stumble alongside Clayton as he leads back out through the corridor Cy went down.

There are a lot of bodies.

>Anything to say to Clayton on the way to Life Support?

>>29911926
>There are a lot of bodies.
>>Anything to say to Clayton on the way to Life Support?

"Did you loot these bodies on you way down Clay?"
"If not I call dibs."

Rolled 7, 2, 2 = 11

>>29912088
"You loot all these yet?"

Rolled 5, 6, 6 = 17

>>29912088
I don't want to see you fooling around with the mino- err miners.

Make sure they stay in one piece.

((We should check what's left of rasta dude))

>>29912088
"Seems like you two had your own fun. Eta on the next wave of reinforcements?"

Rolled 3, 9, 8 = 20

>>29912088
any loot left, or did you guys pick this place clean?

>>29912151
>We should check what's left of rasta dude

Yes, this! We can loot his body too.

>>29912088
Any idea what's left? It'd be a shame if dreads was the best they had.

>>29912088
Hurrgh, Jesus fuck...

Hey, you got any idea what the hell that dreadlocked fucker was doing here?
