As everyone begins filing into the room, some still images are on the main projector screen- quick pictures taken by a Greenbriar explorer probe sent there before contact was lost with it. Security at the base is very heavy. Fighters patrol inside the air defense zone, augmented with ground based launchers. There were not any vessels in orbit and with the most recent information there are still no ships. The Base is a central hardened laboratory building, only the top floor above ground, and of that top floor there are only some pictures of the outside taken from space. The building entrance is hexagonal, with gates leading into it on the north and south. The building is surrounded with what looks to be a security fence, with 20m of gap between it and the doors in, there are several guard patrols highlighted in the footage, 4-5 strong with what looks to be some kind of robot in tow. Outside the walls, there is a runway, with a squat looking building at its end. There is a small control tower and three hangars also next to the runway. A final, three story building sits near the airport and base as well, also fenced

"Well I suppose I can go ahead and tell you my group I have, and probably explain what Sil brings to the table too as he'll be waiting for us. I have 3 teams of 15 that will be coming all using rifles made by the Taros. Most are equiped with normal combat uniforms but one is equipped with Exosuits (Basicly assault armor.) and several of them have missile launchers. I also have a group of 10 Taros warriors that'll be joining us. Speaking of which I should ask if they wish to send anyone before we go as well. For ground vehicles I'll be bringing a tank and three suit class mechs, one of which I may use but I'm still deciding. I know we'll have your ship Shriven, but we'll also have my Cruiser, 3 corvettes, and 2 shuttles in case someone does show up behind us or before us. As for Sil he'll likely have his mech and his powers. He's a powerful Psychic that can teleport nearly as far as you can imagine being able to take 12 people with him at once, and being able to heal the worst of wounds. Now then after that long blurb let's discuss ideas. Before we get near the base we need to try to disable defenses any ideas."

Upon developing an initiative to investigate the wreck, One Mr. Mazzio appeared to change course. Temporary base set up 100 clicks north of the perimeter base in New Astria. Additional military assets have been secured. Reports of native species tell of a simian race to the far south inhabiting a Sylth ruin. A low tech seafaring race lie to the far south west while hostile pirates attack anyone on the sea. B Squad ready for deployment.

A message come in from Silvano Mazzio with a file attached showing full footage of the base, all emplacements, troop paths, aircraft, etc. He estimate 150-200 people in the barracks building and air tower and outside. No information gathers from the lab as it seems to be shielded from psychic abilities. The barracks is also surrounded with mines that are either anti psychic, or just shielded from psychic powers.

Sil will also message, "All assembling, be aware, the plan is to capture the place, not destroy it. Especially the lab. It has value psi tech that we can take from them and use against them, as well as hopefully figure out how they are making anti-psi weapons and equipment. Unfortunately, I am not sure how much use I will be in that building, as it's blanked with anti psi effects. The one peak I got inside, showed even the dust or something in the place is anti-psi, and the scientist going in or out were wearing gas masks."

So, are they instead taking the day talking, and will get there the next day, and Sil and Billy rest for a day?

"I'd say our main missions are, take the air tower, take the barracks, and take the main lab. That of course comes after we deal with the main defenses which will have to be separate setup if we have the time even. I Think that Cyrus and Canye you two can lead the assault on the air tower along with some of my heavier equipped men so we can get some rocket pods in there. Shriven if you're fine with helping take and hold the main tarmac and area around the bunkers I'd like you to lead the assault into the barracks as well with your and majority of my men. I'll lead the group into the lab in case there is anything they are testing that might be harmful to us. I'll take a small squad but I'm sure you can all come as reinforcements as well once the fighting elsewhere subsides."
"If we can get in touch beforehand with Sil he can hopefully work on setting up ways to soften their defenses before we arrive and I'm sure Billy will want to join in some fashion as well."

"The way I see it this plan has four main phases. Phase One: Tower Assault including Myself (Cyrus) and Cayne, with a squad of heavy weapons troops supplied by Seung. I assume we can be ported into the tower direct by Sil. From there we destroy key targets such as the array and hopefully take away their cohesion. In short create mayhem. Phase Two: Shiven and his men with support from TFP teams will storm the runway in a shuttle after we confirm disabling AA. Covered by air support from the fleet and Tower Team. There objective will be to clear the strips and move to secure the Barracks, problem there being the mines surrounding it which Sil or Billy maybe able to help with. Phase Three: The rest of the troops assault with Seung, cleaning up outside resistance and clearing the ground and top floors of the Lab building. We will then plan accordingly to clear the rest of the complex. Phase Four: Clean up and Clearing of Lab Lower levels if needed. As far as the gates go, it seems it'd be best to deal with them from the Tower or as we assault, they're too heavily guarded to do anything before going loud as it were."

Masacio 29-Nov-18 03:16 PM
"Well, several issues. One, the tower isn't a big deal, there are only a few men in it." From the intelligence: "There are seven people in the air traffic control tower, five in the top glass observation level, and two guards inside the structure, on the ground floor". So only two guards.
"The important thing is to stop other planes from taking off. And stopping the ones in the air."
"The AA most likely can be taken out by placing one demo charge on the roof where the radar and comm arrays are. I might be able to burn them out electrically with my powers. The key point here is that should happen just as we launch the attack."
"There are troops on the ground as well." From the intelligence: "An armored personnel carrier idles near a bank of commuication dishes, and two squads of Remnant infantry sit near the doors leading into the facility, on sentry duty. The building is sealed tight, blast doors closed, and it doesnt look to have ever had windows at any point in its life" (oh, seems there are some com dishes on the ground too.)
"And the guards around the walls." From the intel: "You can see two groups of guards, 5 strong each, with cybernetic mastiffs patroling outside the walls"
"The mines around the barracks building I cannot approach. Any anti psi equipment really endangers me. So those will have to be dealt with by more convention means. But I could try to do things to them at distance. I might not be able to affect them directly with telekinesis, but perhaps I could TK something else to remove them. I don't know."
"There are 150 men in the barracks. They are the real threat, besides the aircraft. And what ever they have in the lab. Which I am guessing is worse. I counted 20 people in there, though that was only seeing a sliver of it when the doors opened. So I assume there are many more, armed with who knows what kind of weapons."

(I think there has been too much information moving through this thread. Sil said he could use demo charges, or the light mech to wreck the radar and fighters. I thought we were going to attack once the troops were down. But, I guess they do have sensors in space. So, I suppose the plan now is for Sil to plant charges, and wait for them to land? I thought taking out the comm array would prevent them from detecting the fleet, or at least preventing them from receiving the signals.)

The twin rockets lance into the open door of the barracks, detonating with terrific force in the confined space. Windows from the ground floor to the 10th floor blow out with concussive pressure, glass tumbling down to the ground in a crystaline rain. The troopers about to deploy are engulfed in flames, many run out the front door of the barracks, burning, screaming, beyond any sort of help as the explosive chemicals permeate uniforms. equipment, and flesh

There is little left of him after the concentrated gunfire. The barracks continues to burn, the fire rapidly spreading upwards to engulf the second and third floors of the building. In assorted windows, with no real pattern to the movements, Remnant troopers are trying to determine other ways out of the building. One jumps, but lands poorly, breaking what looks to be several bones in his leg. Near the control tower, Cyrus and Cayne are close to the main reinforced door leading in.

The rockets streak toward the barracks, the building shaking from repeated impacts. Burning bodies, trash, and flaming debris tumble from the stricken floors and the building groans.

(Everyone else is free to act right now as well. I’ll keep moving the spotlight along.) The barracks building sways a bit more heavily as the fires grow. The soldiers inside are doing everything they can to try to get out. Many jump, risking injury or death than staying inside to burn. Billy, Seung and the task force troopers hold position for the moment. Cayne stands below Cyrus, each of them working to get to the top of the control tower. Cyrus and a pair of Remnant technicians above fight with him on the line, trying to prevent an ascent

The gunfire is relentless, methodical, and uncompromising. Advancing Remnant infantry are hit, and once fallen the marksmen expertly move on to others in the group. Combat plate buckles under the exotic rounds, bodies fall into the coral sand, and the screaming horde slows to a trickle of five terrified men, who blink out in an instant when the tank fires a shell into the middle of their knot. The building, now the only noise on the field, begins stately drifting downward, sliding into the ground and dredging up shell-rock. A thick screen of dust begins spreading across the island as rubble settles

The doors are thick steel, blast shutters lowered. The area between the lab fence and the doors of the lab itself is empty, stamped brown grass and the occasional cigarette butt stuck into the ground. The doors are 10m wide, and about as tall, enough to get a truck into if driven carefully. For now, resistance seems to have petered out.

(building is a hexagon, so you've moved from the south face to Cyrus at the southwest, Cayne at the southeast) Rounding the corners to the left and right, there is a hiss from the roof, as a grenade dumper from each side rises, firing its explosive payload down below. A crude drone core is wired into the top of the unit. (evasion save for each of you) (edited)

(Troopers with you got a 2, and a 4 before modifiers, both failing as well) The small pineapple grenade lands with a gentle plop between Cayne and the two troopers accompanying him. There is just enough time to look down before it explodes (8 damage, rolling for the Cyrus flank now)

The flywheel spins open largely on its own, opening up into the second room (Next one down, with the long hallways to the west and east) The door in front of you, across the room (south facing door per this map) is sealed with an identical door to the one you've come through. Long hallways run west and east. From the western hallway there is another sealed bulkhead. Rounding the corner to the east, two tracked half tank/half bionic robots round the corner, weapon mounts coming on line. Each arm ends in a rotary cannon, and a rack of mircomissiles has been fastened to shoulders along with skeletal strengthening down the back.

A second horror is knocked out, its forward momentum halted by several impacts. It judders as if in the grip of spasm before collapsing
The remaining robot bounds forward, in an incredible leap, far beyond even enhanced human capabilities, attempting to lash out with its claws and Cyrus and Cayne

The smell hits you almost instantly, and it is one of neglect, and unwashed bodies. Prisoner cells line the edges of the room. A few Jademane sit in one, others are filled with humans. One cell seems to be made from a compressed metal, constructed from the silvery dust material. Inside, several humans lay in decidedly more miserable conditions. One places their weak, filthy hands on the bars, and coming into the light, you can see the word WITCH has been carved on her forehead

This is a huge discovery either way. We need to upload as much data as we can in this place and transmit it back to the base for them to decode at the base. Perhaps we can work through the code here as well... duplication is always advised.” Billy sort of trails off as he continues talking to himself, eyes no longer seeming to be taking in his surroundings.

He stabs the creature twice near the back of the of the Jademane's head attempting to cut it off or destroy the spine at the neck. Agata stands it's ground with the rest firing at the creature. (43/10 45/10 For Agata 15/22.)

A large, mechanical drill snake springs from the darkness, its drill head inactive, its mass none the less smashes into Cyrus, knocking him onto his back. Stabilizing legs (think like those ones from crane trucks or something, that fold out the sides) piston into the ground, keeping the beast firmly on top of the downed warrior, and preventing him from rolling away

@Cayne Neverwinter You wander into the lab to find Billy Rigers with a leg up on one of the plow pieces from the earlier bots. There is a scientist sitting tied up to a metal chair in front of him and mechanical and organic pieces lie around him. In front of him a drone is hovering, presumably acting as camera man. “And what was your position here in the l-“ He looks up to see Cayne enter and smiles. He puts his hand on the scientist’s shoulder. “Just one second there buddy.” “Cayne, welcome. I heard you were offered a spot on the task force. That’s excellent. Right now, I’m just trying to see what information these fine folks will give me freely by having a nice chat and then I was going to go through what tech is here and see who’s info was helpful and who’s wasn’t.” He looks back to the scientist and winks, as he puts a glass of water to the scientist’s lips for just a slight bit too long. ”I’d certainly appreciate another hand in here. Do you have any particular talent with tech or are you more of the gunslinging, bone breaking type?” He laughs awkwardly at the scientist’s expression. “Don’t worry, we aren’t going to torture you. We aren’t the type to subjugate, maim and otherwise torture another human being unless otherwise provoked.” He suddenly remembers something. “-Oh, and Cayne. I’m not sure what your plans are for the immediate future, but I’ll be on planet for a little bit longer than the rest of the task force wrapping up this lab and then I’ve got to confirm the site of a pre-scream ship wreckage on planet. I’d love the extra set of hands there as well. You don’t have to answer now.” (edited)

Shriven waits while Cyrus, Cayne and Seung finish then turns to Seung, “Thank you for your offer but I feel like I can do more good for the sectors transporting and manufacturing goods. As far as the update, Sil and I captured 3 crew and have gotten 2 of them to cooperate. I have interviewed the crew but left the captain for you. In order to secure the captain’s future I set up a plan with Sil to make a show of airlocking the captain while Sil pulls him out while I was talking. So we need to keep the 2 cooperating prisoners apart at least until we get the info we needed out of them. Through my interview I got a detail description of Shahria along with a map. I was also able to confirm that there are 2 garrison worlds on the east edge of the sector. They are on Alcibiades and Chloe. As to the part where I need Agata or a programmer there are encrypted copy of the orders that were for the researchers here.There is also a communication buoy at Asta that I think we should drop a communication off at to miss lead the Remnant and give your team more time here before another inspection. But I leave those decisions up to you.”

Cayne smiles once you finish talking and strolls up to the prisoner, unholstering his laser pistol, lazily looking it over almost as if studying it “Well I’ve never been the best at understand or making tech, but I typically know how to make good use of it” Cayne puts extra emphasis on use, winking at the prisoner “Otherwise I’m just playing things by ear. I’ll have a chat with seung and see where I can be of assistance, otherwise my hands are for you” As Cayne finishes he holsters his pistols and clenches his fists, looking the prisoner directly in the eye

Cyrus nods to Seung "Okay Boss, it's gonna stink out here. We'll burn them, we piled up the weapons and equipment at the side of the runway." He turns and starts directing his work detail to burn the bodies, making sure its away from anything valuable

Shriven walks in the door. “Seung, here is a copy of the encrypted orders, I hope that it is hinting at what I think it hints at.” Standing Orders Report on status of psionic interruption minerals on Terezinho, relay findings to Asta Command Node. Report to Khulk, rejoin fleet for push against alien threat “Anamem is at your disposal in confronting the slaving Remnant fleet.”

"Unless they're going to Aslief or the other planet nearby. That's if that's even the fleet, but we should expect the worse now." Seung sighs. "Let's gather everyone and get everything in space so we can make our way back." Seung explains the spoils. "If any of you want anything let me know otherwise I'm giving it to Kincaid for the war effort. Shriven what are you going to do with the Remnants ship?"
Seung makes sure to let @Billy Rigers know he's free to stay and the prisoners if he doesn't wish to send them with Seung are up to what he decides to do with them.

Shriven looks dumbstruck, “uhhh I figured it was the task force’s. I mean I wouldn’t mind keeping it or having you keep it. As long as in the near future we can take it to Alcibiades for some intel gathering.”

I think it’s best to take the prisoners and just take all of the equipment and data that we can to the home planet, including the equipment that climate controls the lab and all the lab equipment. We can pack it in the vehicles we are taking if we need. I’d rather decode and reconstruct a lab on home planet than get stuck with a Remnant ship coming back to find my little outfit by ourselves.

"Then do you still want to scout out that ship here? I can have it waiting for you once you make it back to Gudrun with Azog or someone else."
"If you want to look at cybernetics I could hand it over to Dorlin and let you work with who ever she specifies. She runs the city that Trigreen came from originally."
"And Shriven we can take it if you don't want it. That works for me I'll find a use for it."

“I would like to scout out the ship first, yes. If it could be waiting for my when I return that would be wonderful. Thank you for the contacts. I would wish to work with all of them.”

“I would rather have one of those Atmos out there than a courier. If you don’t mind. I don’t really have a use for it right now.”

"That's fine a ship for a ship. Thank you again Shriven, and Billy once you get back to Gudrun just get with the Baron, or me if I'm there we'll let you know who and where to go to."

“Agreed... just... let’s make sure we pull the equipment from it. Within reason. Am I being too much of a scrap junkie?”

"Alright once everything is cleaned up let's all meet up in the cruisers brig to speak to the captain. I have a plan."

“Well Gentlemen, it has been a pleasure to fly over watch for you all. I’m going to head out. Oh and tell the captain of that courier to look me up after his month of working with your intel guys. I’ll see he is taken care of one way or another.”
Shriven nods and turns to leave.

(So lets say billy has the gear sent back, since hes working out of a pretty much packed shuttle, and he can circle back to tinkering with it once he does what he needs to here)

The ship weapons impact the ground below, burying the base in tonnes of atomised rock, coral, and a thick blanket of steam flash sterilizes the entire area. The boiling oceans devour the piece of landmass the facility was on, its dark experiments sinking below the waves, mineshafts flooding with water
