Completed Let's purge the Xeno in Xenonauts (Ultimate doom expansion set for terra)
- Thread starter Ulminati
- Start date
Do I have to enlist again, or will a ghola be produced automagically as soon as you run out of recruits?
I hope I'll be taking some of those Xeno freaks with me.
If you're still accepting volunteers, add me to the roster/reserve list.
If I run out of fresh recruits, I'll start the clones. Starting with the people who requested to be cloned, then the ones who didn't. So while it's technicallty possible to get cloned, it won't be anytime soon.
It's 17:24 local time as I post this. So the stream will go up in ~3 hours for those wondering. I'll keep the stream turned off on my end to preserve bandwidth for uploading. But I'll be monitoring the twitch chat in case people want to call me a noob :3
In that case I would like to file a formal request that my cells be transferred to the tender care of the Bene Tleilax.

Yeah. I added you to the roster on page 1. New recruits start at the bottom of the pile.
The Steve Irwin seats a maximum of 12. Even if we forego the tactical dreadnaught armour that's being built for one of our battle brothers too injured to fight on, that only leaves 4 slots open. So the recruits who will join us for the rapey fun times are: Tzaero and Kipeci. Possibly CaptainAwesome and Tytus as well. Giving them armour is not going to hasten your enrollment into our glorious band of bros.
doesn't matter. Give them armour anyway so they soak up moar punishment
Base raid will start in one hour on http://www.twitch.tv/ulminati
Stream will probably go live 10 minutes or so before to test everything is working. There will be a chat overlay for people who want to comment on the inevitable rape.
[edit]
ALIEN BASE RAID ENDED! WE'LL GET THEM NEXT TIME!

UPDATE TIME
Our first alien base raid was over.
Video archive with Kodexian Chat below!
Summary:
We will rebuild. We will return. We will avenge four fallen brothers!
Our first alien base raid was over.
Construction of the dreadnaught is paused and the engineers reassigned to the manufacture of laz0rz.
While that goes on, the eggheads unlock the secrets of advanced alien armour. With this new tech, we should be able to upgrade our combat shields soon.
The aliens contine to pester us in the air. The ground team is, well, grounded until the assault. (Stream was in 15 minutes when played this, and I didn't want to delay the base raid).
An alien fighter squadron intercepts our Condors as they return from downing a landing ship. With limited health and ammo, autoresolve informs us we're all gonna die!
NOT ON MY WATCH!
Initial analysis confirms situation untenable. We're headed for a head-on encounter with 3 scouts. All craft are damaged. Missiles are spent. Cannon ammunition nearly completed. Planes are ordered to engage afterburners and engage evasive maneuvers.
The condor cannot match the speed of the alien heavy fighters, even with burners on. Ever so slowly we slip into range of their missiles. Carefully timed barrel rolls on all 3 aircraft evade the first 5 missiles.
But as the first 2 Condors escape the combat theatre, all 3 UFOs focus on the heavily damaged Condor-4. It dodges the final missile, but is cut down by cannon fire seconds before making its escape!
Still. 1 condor lost is way, way better than losing 3.
Finally the engineers report that production of Cadia-pattern Lasrifles is completed. It is time to meet the brave heroes who will enter the depts of Hell to cleanse the infestation of Holy Terra.
CIS Sis will be in overall command of the operation. Since she has spent a lot of time pumping iron in the gym, her regular loadout has been augmented with additional ammo and a block of C4
Commander Stabby will be her second-in-command. Stabby does not even lift, and is unable to carry additional gear without being encumbered.
Major Azira still carries his marksman gear, but with additional grenades. While a sniper rifle is not the ideal for indoor fighting, we could not delay long enough to fabricate an Armageddon-pattern heavy Lascannon for him.
Eklektyk is promoted from the ranks of Shieldmaidens to Shotgun Murderswede. The purity seals are still crisp and white on his new weapon, and the odor of incense clings to it as it is delivered from the temple of the machine cult.
Comte is also promoted from Shieldmaiden to riflebro/medic. While I have some misgivings about his accuracy, it is time to let a new generation of meatbags take the fore.
As per his request, ERYFKRAD is armed only with close quarter weapons and a Muslim C4 suicide vest.
Major Scrooge retains her Riflebro/Medic loadout. There is no encumberance room for additional gear.
Same goes for Corporal hellraiser, in possession of our sole Armageddon-pattern heavy Lascannon.
The expidition is joined by several new recruits. Tzaero scored high on initial aptitude tests and is immediately given a field promotion to Riflebro
@Kipecci also joins us. As per imperial decree, fresh recruits must serve a term as shieldmaidens to prove they have the courage to face the Emperors enemies.
CaptainAwesome will serve as his fellow shieldmaiden
As well as private Tytus

If my geneseed is worthy, put me up for respawn, should the need arise.
Things certainly could've gone better if:
- I hadn't missed th eone line of fire thingie and Azira shot and killed one of the rookies in turn 1.
- I'd remembered to bring rocket launchers like I planned.
- We used some of the smoke grenades—brought along for that very purpose—to cover our retreat to the exit.
- I had used less shields
- We hadn't split the group in 3
- Less 'nades, more medkits
For the second attempt, I think we'll keep 2-3 people at the entrance to cover our way out. And everyone else clear one wing at a time. Those easy(ish) UFO missions we had of late and me starting up right as I got home lulled me into a false sense of security/foolhardy bravado.
We'll go back to screenshot updates for a bit. Once the new batch of recruits have a few missions under their belts (and we build new weapons and armor to replace those lost), we'll come back to the base. Once we're prepared, I'll announce a date and time and we'll do the stream thingie again.

No youtube video of the stream for people who could't be there?
It's right there in the fucking update. Open your eyes.

That was definitely a tasteful update.

Bleed out after taking plasma to the face point blank. Not a coward's death, but not a dramatically heroic one either. My redshirt ancestors approve of this death.
Also, stabby would like another go pls. One can never die too many times in this style of game.

Says the guy that lost his two initial fights with light scouts.
I had another stab at the mission. The stream is a good deal longer because I was tabbed out and did other shit as well. If you don't mind pauses, a lot of DEATH and GLORY occured when we tried to HOLD THE LINE.
It's non-canon, since we're Ironman and all.

End of January update:
Roster as of Feb 1st 1980
I'm undecided on what to do next. Taking the privates to an ufo or two is probably the sensible choice. Private->Corporal->Sergeant is a fairly fast pormotion track. And you get bonus stats on promotion from wha tI can tell. On the other hand, that alien base in Greenland taunts me with its prescense...
With the alien base fiasco killing off many of our officers, there are a lot of empty bunks back at Sevastopol. Through the process of hiring/firing recruits, I eventually manage to find a few that aren't completely hopeless. (IE: Strength and accuracy above 45).
In the air, our battered airplanes manage to intercept our first large UFO. since everyone's in the infirmery, there's no reason to tail it until it is over land. The order is given to attack.
Our interceptors take a severe beating in the ensuing battle. Bloody wonderful. Now we're down for the count both in the air and on the ground.
The sole good news comes courtesy of the egghead division. By cutting squares of material off some of the UFOs we've recovered, we're able to fabricate stronger shields. The shieldmaidens rejoice.
The next wave of UFOs arrives, but there is nothing we can do about them with our aircraft in this sorry state.
So they merrily run rampant all over the place. At least none of them decide to start a fucking terror site.
And January comes to a close. The UN is not impressed with how we failed ot take out the base and licked our wounds for weeks.

Roster as of Feb 1st 1980
Commander CIS Sis remains kill leader. As the last remaining living of the original 8, she's a legend among us. The spirit of the Shotgun Murderswede burns strong in her heart.
Comte has been promoted from the ranks of Shieldmaidens by virtue of seniority. His tenure as riflebro is entirely dependant on whether or not he starts increasing his accuracy. 47 is just dismal. If he doesn't shape up, we'll have to find a less glorious purpose for him.
As the highest scorer on our marksmanship tests, Major Scrooge has inherited the Sniperfag role from Azira. Her gear is fresh from the foundries of the machine cult, as we were unable to recover Aziras body when we retreated from the alien base.
Hellraiser acquitted herself well during the alien base raid. An impressive 4 kills and a promotion to sergeant was well deserved. Hopefully she will carry the torch for the young generation of xenonauts, now that the old guard has left for valhalla.
Their spirits, that is. Their corpses are no doubt being violated in ways most obscene by the aliens in the base we fled.
The sole achievement Corporal Kipeci so far has been missing with his grenades and surviving the alien base mission. Hopefully, his eyes will shine where his throwing arm failed as he leaves his battered shield behind for the ranks of riflebros.
CaptainAwesome is still recovering from his griveous wounds during the base raid. An estimated 70% of his body required skin grafts after the plasma burns. Since he is terrified of picking up his shield now, he has also been promoted to the rank of riflebro.
As the recruit who scored best on our overall aptitude tests, Private SerratedBiz was given a get out of hell free card and skips the otherwise mandatory stint as Shieldmaiden.
Private Nevill was not so lucky. He is our new shieldmaiden/cybernegro. At least he can take heart knowing that his shield is made from sturdier materials than those of his predecessors.
He is joined by fellow cybernegro The_scorpion. Together they now face the daunting task of surviving long enough that some other unfortunate sucker gets drafted and they get promoted.
Private SmartCheetah had relatives who could pull strings with the brass. Instead of regular equipment, she got to pick herself an RPG and as many rokkits as she could carry.
And finally:
While the remains of our fallen battlebrother LundB — the original Shotgun Murderswede — were too damaged to fight on, we have brought him out of the cryogenic tanks and fused his remains to this living coffin of titanium. As our new dreadnought, our finest officer will pass on his wisdom to the fresh recruits. Long may he Prosper.
