Robotech - Tales of the UEEF (Main)

[Orikanyo]

Grumpy moves to the brain and raises the rifle. "not sure what you are... But whatever you are... it is best that your gotten rid of..." he began to pace around to the weird opening that was thumming with wierd noises and lights. "What the hell is in here...?"

 

[Psychie]

Amanda goes over to check the people strapped in on the tables. Obviously the guy with his arm amputated is still alive, but what about the other guy? "You three! Unstrap him and get ready to move! I'm going to see if this other person is alive." As she goes over, she keeps a close watch on the floating brain. "Juryrig! Stinger! See what you have to do to detonate that nuke."

 

[Orikanyo]

"Might wana kill that brain, hitting it in the brain stem would do it." grumpy stated as he tried to get a better look around the corner.

 

[Sherwood]

Grumpy heads over to look through the opening at the source of the light, and the first thing you see is that there is a slightly opaque force field blocking the opening. Through it, you can see that the light source is a large glowing sphere thirty feet across held up in place in the middle of the room it's in by several pillars that connects it to the walls. There are four Invid Shock Troopers and a pair of Enforcers flying about in there, all of which are angling over to the opening. It looks like they plan on coming in.

Amanda looks over at the other figure in the room, and you can see that he is quite dead, but his body has been experimented on. Large parts of his body has been removed and replaced with cyborg pieces. It would appear from the look on his face that he was awake and aware though all of the operations.

From what everyone can remember about the Zentraedi files on the Invid, that Brain is literally the heart of the hive, in control of everything in here. If it is destroyed, all of the lower caste Invid will be much dumber, attacking only by sight and not with any coordinated effort. The higher castes, like the Enforcers in the power core room, are smarter, and will be able to think on their own.

 

[Orikanyo]

"Guys we got company coming in! Shock troopers and 2 enforcers coming in hot!" grumpy rushed backwards and rose his rifle at the brain, remembering as if the voice of god gave him a run down on invid again.

thanks god.

He pointed his gun at the brain stem connecting it to the hive and fired, aiming to try and kill it from a weaker point than blasting through the fatty tissue.

 

[Psychie]

Amanda can feel a level of rage coming over her that she has never felt before. I am starting to see just why the Zentraedi have attacked these Invid at any chance they can. This is just evil to do to a prisoner.

"I think that killing that Brain is a damn good idea." Her hands hurt from the death grip she has on the Wolverine. "Hell with it. We have the bomb. Lets use it. Surely that will take out the Brain and the reactor, too. Take out all of these fucking slugs in here at once. Get that bomb set, then we grab the body. If possible, we are not leaving him behind like this."

Following in Grumpy's footsteps, she fires a grenade at the base of the Brain, just to see what happens.

Epiphany has said that she's on the road, and has given me permission to NPC her for a bit. Orikanyo , go ahead and give me a to hit roll and damage for shooting the Brain.

Juryrig begins to set up the nuke, while Stinger heads over to get a good line of fire on the Brain with his Gallant rifle. At the same time, two of the three men with you unstrap their friend from the table and help him up, while the third runs over to grab up the body of their fallen comrade.

Chen decides that her RL-6 is a little heavy, and firing off some missiles at the brain will make it lighter. She takes aim and fires a Plasma mini missile at the brain and it explodes with a satisfying flare of fire.

 

[Orikanyo]

"That squad is likely gonna be getting on sue soon we gotta hurry!" grumpy shouted again, keep an eye on the glowy enterance.

 

[Sherwood]

As you fire, the three rescued prisoners are busy helping to carry their injured and fallen out of the room.

Juryrig is busy with the bomb, leaving Stinger, Lightning, Grumpy and Scorch all firing on the Brain. It is hurt and burning, but despite having large chunks of tissue being blown off of it, it is still floating there, gently pulsating. As you watch, the force field keeping you apart from the power core fades away, letting the Invid into the Brain chamber.

Going back into combat time. Everyone, please give me initiative rolls.

 

[Psychie]

Initiative roll!

 

[Orikanyo]

Rollin.

The Brain is not attacking, but it is still in the air, floating and pulsating slowly.

 

[Psychie]

Hit the Brain, or the Troopers coming in? The Troopers. They shoot back. Scorch raises up her Wolverine and takes aim at Shock Trooper 1 and fires a grenade into its eyepiece.

[Sherwood]

Scorch fires her grenade right into the face of the Invid, doing massive damage to the eyepiece.

Lightning aims her RL-6 at the first Enforcer, and launches another Plasma missile into its faceplate. It explodes, but doesn't take it out of the fight.

[Orikanyo]

"Aiming for the enforcer, christ almighty they just don't give up do they!" grumpy shouted as he aimed for the damaged enforcer's eye, keen on takeing it out.

 

[Sherwood]

Before it even has a chance to fire, the double team on it takes the first Enforcer out of the fight.

The two Shock Troopers both open fire on Lightning with her missile launcher. The STORM Commando is able to twist out of the way.

Stinger fires at the eyepiece of the damaged Shock Trooper, and he kills it.

Enforcer 2 fires its heavy beam weapons at Scorch. It will hit unless you dodge.

Shock Troopers 1 and 2 both shoot at Grumpy. Only one will hit unless you dodge.

Psychie is up with attack and dodge rolls, and Orikanyo needs a dodge roll please.

Scorch will try to tumble out of the way of the attack, and returns fire with her grenade launcher to the eye.

[Orikanyo]

Grumpy attempts to dodge while keeping his shield up for good measure.

 

[Sherwood]

The tumble you do throws your aim off just a little, but the grenade does hit and do some damage.

Lightning fires her RL-6 into the eye of the Enforcer, and the missile blows the eye out, leaving only the three Shock Troopers left.

[Orikanyo]

Grumpy takes this moment to fire at the shock trooper (2), eyeing the brain. "Anybody a grenade to hammer into that thing? tired of seeing it!"

 

[Sherwood]

One shot, one kill! The Shock Troopers' eyes only have 20 MDC to them, so your burst punched right through the light armor and killed it.

Stinger fires at Shock Trooper 3, but the shot does only minimal damage.

Both the Invid fire on Scorch, and will hit unless you dodge

Shifting from the under slung grenade launcher, Amanda instead fires a burst of HEAP rounds at the eye of the damaged Shock Trooper.

Awesome! Max damage! Woot!

[Sherwood]

The burst pierces the eyepiece of the Invid Shock Trooper, killing it instantly.

Using the rocket launcher, Lightning fires it at the remaining Shock Trooper and the missile blast rips into the weak armor of the eye.

With the last of the Invid destroyed, we will move out of combat time.

The rescued prisoners are now all out of the room, and they are heading for the exit, leaving the five of you in the room with the Brain. Juryrig looks up from the Reflex warhead. "It is all set to blow! All we need to do is set the timer and get the hell out of here."

 

[Psychie]

"Whew! That was exciting. Lets finish off the Brain, then set the timer and go." Scorch turns to fire another burst at the disgusting thing.

Grumpy follows suit. "Damn thing just wouldn't go down, you'd think missiles would do it!
