Silver shakes the dust off himself, his helmet collapsing into the suit. Shaking his head, he looks around to assess the damage to his suit and his surroundings.

"Ja, fine... somehow." Ryman huffs. "I was looking forward to being a space pirate."

>>944979
Buio regains his conciousness, still in siege mode from before the crash happened. Though his army of drones are surely nowhere to be seen at the moment.
"Oh my fucking cyber brain is in a goddamn world of pain right now..."

>>945000
Kion peaks into the ship from a mangled hole in the hull.

"Sup guys!! Fancy seeing ya'll here..."

>>945033
"Well if we're alive, in all likelihood so is the fleet. I'm half tempted to hijack another one."

>>945051
"The ride here was a little bumpy, thank god we were wearing seat belts."

Hazard is still cradling the body of K-04, four arms keeping the unconscious female stable. <She needs a reboot> Quietly commented Kali as the Hanse Assassin prepped his systems.

>Will do the hard tech roll when the mission starts. Hazard is now Dr. Hazard. Protect the patient.

>>945080

"Sure looks it.", Kion responds to Aquils' comment. He looks around the inside of the ship as suits and their pilots are still getting up wearily from the crash. He tries skating in to help some of them get to their feet but the ship's floor is skewed at an odd angle, so he takes to clambering up the slope of the floor.

"What happened back there to mess this ship up so bad?"

>>945080
Ryman clucked his tongue. "As appealing as zhat sounds, I'd rather not have a repeat of last time." Ryman said, casting his mind back to the frigate scraping his paintwork.

Let me eat dinner real quick, then game start soon.

Over a general radio band, a voice called out

"You lot alright down there? I picked up something big hitting the ground, and I'm detecting suits down there. If you need some medical aid, I'm a few minutes out and a couple miles up."

>>945155
>Hey, are you new?

Eric O'Del.

He was the first, and thus far, the only one who took up the call to the mission, and currently floating in low orbit. He was in the sweet spot, just low enough that he avoided the great orbital blockade in space but above the risk of AA.

As he hurtled around the earth at many MPH, he witnessed the sunrise in east, and saw the continent of South America. . .and something else.

The world was mainly of two colors, blue and green, but on one landmass appeared a patch of red that appeared as a cancer upon the earth. Great black lines like veins strewn about it, and tendrils and feelers spred outward like roots.

And in the center of this all, one great, massive eye that stared into space.

Asides this other sights caught his attention, and his worry, ships of all sizes and shapes were descending from the heavens, super fortresses of the enemy from the upper stratosphere or across the ocean all convering on the red mass.

His radio comms spoke up.

"Pilot O'Del. You volunteered for medevac. Are you ready to proceed?"

They wanted to send him into that?

>>945212

"Copy that. Got room in the crop for anyone who needs a lift out. If you guys could see this..."

Repressing the disgust as best he could, and hurling towards the planet at just shy of astronomical speeds, Doc Roc ran a check over his drones.

"Hello lads, the Doc will be with you shortly, how many wounded do you have, and am I coming in hot?"

>>945232
"Excellent, your mission is to provide for medevac however you're going to be staying. They'll likely need someone with medical expertise.

We are however, sending you with some assets."

Doc Roc saw on his Radar several friendly blips approaching.

"These are experimental stealth evac pods. They come from AC pods which were recovered before a pilot could have imprinted upon them. They've been modified to emit a powerful stealth field around each other as well as yourself, this is vital as they must not be detected upon orbital reentry. It will help that much of the enemy fleet is diverting to combat the swarm rather than orbital scans, but you'll need to stay close to them.

Once there, find the team, load up any wounded or damaged pilots, and they'll reenter orbit and evac them. Understood?"

>>945256

"Understood command. Don't let them know we've got fewer on the field then we actually do. Hopefully no one is too jacked up to need evac, but we'll keep close and cover their reentry."

Reaching behind himself, Doc pulled a pair of drones off his back, gripping them close to ensure they didn't get ripped apart by reentry, but able to provide fire support if they get detected.

"Good luck, and godspeed."

The stealth field activates, as Doc Roc and the pods become practical invisible, and begin the descent.

Did I mention he'll have to try and guide it to their last known position?

ORBITAL REENTRY INITIALIZING

CAUTION: HOSTILES IN PROXIMITY

As the suit and the pods approach, the massed ships and starfighters ahead come into view.

SUCCESS

The stealth fields worked just as planned, Doc carefully avoiding the descending vessels as he lines up for true reentry.

Doc Roc gets an upclose view of the many superfortresses entering the planet, as sci-fi vessels only seen in film now come to life before him. as they heat up and turn red hot entering the planet, so too does he and the pods which hides his signature, so the stealth field deactivates. They blend in perfectly with the fleet.

Hidden among the Reddit reinforcements, Doc Roc simply monitors the descent. He then notices something change among the rest of fleet, they seem to be shifting. If he knew any better, it was almost like they were taking evasive action.

The reason becomes clear enough. From the earth he see's it. . .great lights shooting up from the ground, heading toward them as well as dark masses and shapes. His suit status indicates there are concentrated bursts of plasma and "solid organic mass" headed toward him.

The rest of the enemy fleet open fire and blast on these, as the ships spread out to avoid it, some ships get hit and plasma dances upon their shields, some unlucky ones have shield failure and explode.

But the worse is yet to come, the dark shapes make their appearance. By god, it looks like a swarm of flying fleshy monsters.

WARNING: TAKE EVASIVE ACTION

Roll a dex!

"Well, fuck me running."

Doc shifted his arms infront of him, and prepped his shield, in case he was going to need to force a way through.

>>945390
Doc Roc raises its shield before him, hoping rather than to evade but to maybe glance a blow and plow his way through to the course.

And it might of worked, if he had a stronger shield, more mass, or luck on his side. Instead, a smashing blow from a huge plasma wave makes contact with his shields and sends him and the other pods off course, spiraling through space. The earth, sky, and sun spin around him making him instantly dizzy and nasues, but he struggles and manages to regain some control.

Only then does the swarm of fleshy things hit, and he hears them slamming against his hull, coating his suit in sticky red blood. . .and acid. Some of these thigns have acid blood!

>WARNING: Corrosive substance on the hull. Action required before damage sets in.

O'Del struggles but manages to regain control as he tries his best to stay with the other pods and regain course. The red disgusting earth comes before him, as well as a strange white cloud, the fleshy things continue to coat his window until he can't see.

His boosters activate just in time to slow his descent before hitting the ground.


---

O'Del Wakes up to a sight not unlike the scene described below, the other pods have hit whatever substance the ground is made of.

He gets a faint signal of the other team.

---

MEANWHILE

The rest of the crew look out the hole of the crashed upside down 40k Light Cruiser and witness a world they only thought existed in fiction. Growths like spiked trees literally as tall skyscrapers shoot up into a white cloud that obscures the sky, and all around them everything is moving. A sickly green and red color surrounds them as an alien world of odd planet life and noises are all about.

The white cloud blots out the sun, and it seems as if an unnatural night is upon them.

WARNING: Darkness surrounds you. each suit must find a way to light the path before you, or alternative vision, or suffer major dex and com maluses

>>945443
As the clouds blot out the sun, Kion looks flabbergasted, both at the scene unfolding before him and his own idiocy.

"DAMN! I knew I should have added those floodlights to my suit build...Any one here a heavy or a fortress I can ride atop of?" He shows off his Plasma Bow. "Maybe I can shoot shit from your back like a turret?"

>>945443

Quickly getting his bearing, he began to rip the pods out of the fleshy ground as needed, his night vision flicking on.

Once the pods were freed, he picked up what he could, and began hopping his way towards his comrades, trying to keep his contact with the ground to a minimum.

"We're here, but a bit off course."

"Fuckin A. This has got to be the worst possible time to not have any lights," Buio says as he's still rooted in place of the ship, upside down. He looks upwards from where he is and apparently his drones are still okay.

LL's night vision turns on, and he observes the world around him. He see's much further, but notices a few things. The outline of cars, an old street lamp, concrete walls. They must have landed in a city.

The Doc meanwhile,takes the first step toward the signal of the friendly suits. LL follows behind while the other pods are floating.

Just as he takes another step, the very ground underneath him gives way, and he but BARELY rolls out of the way of a giant set of teeth! That would have been nasty.

He see's where he's landed. It looks like a tunnel, or more like an esophagus, the walls are pulsating and covered in veins and yet he can see some human signs. A railway signal, lamps, this must have been a subway.

Both of them hear something else. A human voice.

"Help. . .help me. . .please, help. . ." it's coming from deeper into the tunnel.

>con't

>>945651

"Libertad does not like this. This is just what I would do in the past, set up a trap using a human being."

He then alerts the group as he activates his thrusters to prevent sinkholes into death.

Extending his 6 arms he points at the mouth in the ground that was a subway entrance.

"That is a trap. Do we walk in it to make the hunter our prey?"

Hawkeye simply sends you this message.
{this is scary looking. I don't want to look at it.}

Your suit status and Radar does work however. ASS detects some metal bits underneath the flesh, mainly cars and benches and poles. This must have been a city. Radar is working but its usefullness is dubious. All the flesh everywhere just shows up as a giant blob on the map.

Your scout drone flies up into the air. It encounters something.

"Sweet mother of fuck! The ground as teeth!"

Landing away from the tunnel, he listened to the pleas for help, and shifted into siege mode. "That is either a trap, or whoever is down there has been consumed by this vile shift, and can't be saved. Doubt anyone outside a suit will be able to survive down here..."

And with that, he launched a few blasts into the tunnel.

Hazard is currently holding the woman in all of his four arms; once her systems are successfully re-initialized, he didn't drop her yet. His body language indicated that he was embarrassed of course, embarrassed to be holding the pilot -- but he was pushing through it.

You link up with Buio, Aquils, and SK smaking scan rolls improving everyone's outcome, especially the BIS.

Aquil's and SK's BIS is now active and providing Radar overwatch for a full mile, for what useful it is since everything shows up as blobs of flesh.

Radar and ASS yield similar results to Buio, however Thermals seem to work a bit better, the heat outlines of flesh are more distinct, things that move tend to be warmer, things that don't tend to be cooler. You can even see warm pulsing veins in the ground.

Hawkeye also quits on you. It simply says the word {NOPE}

Your scavenger drones and yourself rip out parts of the Cruiser and some dead B1's. You have enough useable materials now
>You have enough materials for two (exactly two) drones + 1 upgrade each

Then as you go to scavenge more material, you feel the very ship moving.

Buio feels the shift in weight, the sinking feeling registering in his mind
"OH WELL SHIT TIME TO BAIL!"
He jumps off the ceiling that was technically the floor of the ship, gets his drones in shape, but wait, he notices the God of Hellfire, Clownfish, unconscious on the ship. He grabs their suit, takes the drones, and gets the hell outta the ship!

>>945732
>Can I do a scan of my ASS for LL and Doc Roc from inside the evac pod?

Kion patiently waits from inside one of the pods and hums to himself. His Uplift, MU, displays her shaking head on his HUD.

<Can you at least TRY and hold a tune?>

He looks at her, shrugging as he attempts to play off his musical inability as "practice".

"Wha-at? No else has to listen to it except you, y'know..." He smiles, squinting as he knows she is not too happy with him.

"You were knocked unconscious from a Dalek." casually commented Hazard as he removed her from the ship, still carrying the woman in his four arms. Still awkward about it.

"I saved you. Are there any cybernetic after-effects?" He mumbled shyly, trying not to be intrusive upon the woman whom he had pulled from a fiery death. "If not, can you stand?"

Kion grabs the inside latch of the evac pod and pulls it down hard. The doors release and slide off to the sides, allowing Kion to jump out onto the ground in front of him. It's dark.

Really dark.

He recalls Doc Roc saying he could hop on his back, as Kion has no floodlights equipped on his suit. As he tries to find him in the low light, he figures he should scan the area for any threats his teammates have not noticed.

The overlord and the quadruped fortress along with their drones bail the hell out of the unsconsious suits, who seem to be having some serious technical issues.

The rest of the team also decides to GTFO out of the cruiser.

All the team land on the ground, their feet embed into it with a crunching sound like bone and the squish of blood. The ground bleeds where they step.

Quads turns on his own Thermals, as he hops out of the ship.

He turns around and looks, and see's what's happening to the Light Cruiser.

The giant mushroom that the ship had landed in seems to be morphing, tendrils are reaching up into the ship, at the bottom giant teeth are digging into the hull, the sound of rending and crunching metal, as the ship is sunken and eaten by the very ground.

Luckily, everyone managed to escape. The two Fortresses are dragging the other forts and suits, however, and will be at a serious movement penalty for such.

Electric arcs spark around lightbulbs and metal wires and other bits, and the fleshy tunnel writhes. There's a deep, low growl, like a morphed scream. Then there's a rumbling sound coming from within the tunnel.

Other than that the magnetic effect doesn't seem to be doing anything to the flesh, but he does detect latching a maglock onto a subway train.

>>945680
Light team gets out of the tunnel while Doc Roc fires his weapon to mixed effect. He can see that the flesh isn't affected by the magnetism, but the metal bits are sparking and turning hot, making the flesh really . . .angry looking?

He hears the low deep rumble from within. Oh hey, is that a subway train?

<Looks like someone forgot to eat breakfast> Muttered Kali -- her everlasting humor endearing even now.

"We need a way back to the fleet" Added Hazard as he folded his massive arms over one-another -- speaking only in short sentences, as usual.

Though such a sentence was obvious, it was clear that he was also implying that they needed to pool ideas on how to get out.

Buio's scout drone moves up and tries to get a clear view, however, faster than Buio can react something that looks like a giant frog's tongue reachs up and latches onto the scout drone, dragging it down. The drone fights back, and Buio can see it's dragging it into a giant plant that looks like a venus flytrap with teeth (does everythign have teeth here?)

The scout drone is flipped around and can see into the plant, there are molten bicycles, scooters, and skeletons. The drone fights hard, and manages to pull itself away as the tongue darts back and the plants jaws shuts tight.

The scout is free'd, but Buio can see why it might be a dangerous idea to send it too high. That plant is but one of the things out there, and it can see other parasitic predators flying around in the air.

ASS activates, but currently it only seems to detect the other suits and pods around him. There don't seem to be any immediate hostiles in range, but at the same time the flesh doesn't read properly on the ASS.

>>946002

"This flesh doesn't give a fuck about my gun. Damnit. Well, if there was someone alive down there is done for."

With that, he switched back to fortress mode, and continued on his way to the wayward suits. Nope, this wasn't going to gnaw at him. Not at all. He jump hopped along the ground, landing only land enough to keep from being too obvious a flying thing.

>Swapping through radar and nightvision to keep an eye out on the field.

NOTE:
As the team looks around, they can see their surroundings a bit more clearly. They are definitely in some kind of city, possibly Durazno itself, yet all the skyscrapers are covered with flesh, tendrils and eyeballs.

Some might say the eyeballs are staring at them.

In the distance, they cans ometimes see a giant laser pierce the clouds and burn the earth, creating shockwaves of anger on the ground.

The original team on their onboard maps know the last known location of the dreadnought and its position. There are several immediately obvious pathways to go there.

>The City Streets
>A nearby forest
>Subway tunnels

As his ASS kicks in, he can see his immediate teammates, Doc Roc and Light Tim, ping to life on his HUD. Elated, he skates over to them, only to find them looking down into the depths of a great sinkhole in the ground. It's filled with gross fleshy stuff.

"So uh..."

"What's with the fleshy stuff my dudes? ANd what the hell are you two staring at?" He motioned into the hole.

MU shook her animated head again.

Buio sees the feed of the transpired events that occur from the Scout Drone's camera. He stares coldly into the feed. Then chimes into everybody in the team in proximity to his radio.
"Well, guys, suffice to say, the plantlife here is hostile as fuck. Don't go flying up."
And then turns to the seemingly lifeless suit of Clownfish, still in Buio's suit's arms.
"Hmm... Don't mind if I do."
>COMMANDER: Take control of Clownfish's suit, get a sit rep on how it's doing and such

There aren't much new things to see, apart from the obvious paths listed out in >>946065

And yet you DO see another potential option. There's a monorail track, or rather, a fleshy shape that looks like a monorail track.

>Ah, I see

As Kion gets up to his teammates, Doc is already hopping off into the darkness. Kion follows using his skates, calling Light Tim >>946109 after him, as he hears him say something about monorails being safe. Kion looks around at the weird flesh growing over everything.

"I don't think any monorail is gonna be a safe passage in this stuff Tim.."

Kion looks up at Doc with a tear in his eye and jokes "Aw, you so sweet." He climbs into wherever Doc is hoisting him up to, crouches, and sets up his Plasma bow in case any baddies show up. Doc's floods light up the street in front of them.

>>946193

Doc's eagle head opened it's beak down to the suit's sternum, and placed Kion inside the suit's torso. Inside, a pair of heavy drones and a pair of scavengers, plus any other suits he was carrying, sat inside a workshop/medbay.

>>946092
Hard Tech: Failure
Clownfish's suit is completely unresponsive and has blocked your attempts at takeover. Pity, all that firepower and now just a large weight on the back of a fortress.

>>946047
Ryman engages in siege mode, as some of the suits are held onto him. His two new shiny drones come out of his fortress, adding to the defense, he'll make good overwatch as the rest of the team climbs up onto the monorail track.

Something else is wrong though, his suit warns him, he is slowly, very slowly, sinking into the ground. It's not fast like the light cruiser, but the flesh seems to be giving way ever so slightly.

Both teams decide to climb up onto the monorail system, which is obvious and runs throughout the city. Only Ryman stays on the ground to provide overwatch, while Doc Roc and Kion are jumping ahead of LL and the Pods to scour the way.

As they climb, some of the larger suits push against the overhead electrical wires. These aren't live, so there's no risk, but they shake and vibrate. A bit like a spider's web.

Then all hell breaks loose.

Cries erupts through the city. Like thousands of people shouting along with other monstrous voices.

Doc Roc and Kion make one more jump, just as they see a GIANT tongue dart past them at tremendous speed. There's a thunderous roar behind them, as they see the ground behind them cave in and what looks like a giant mouth pop out.

No, not a mouth, much worse. A worm. A worm that eats up half a city block, cars and all whole, and is jumping up into the air to to chase them.

--

Meanwhile, the other team experiences a different issue. From the skyscrapers that surround them, the windows look more like mouths and open up, and crawling from out of them the sight of humanoids crawling and clawing their way out. They have two arms, two legs, and mostly one head but the similarities to humans end there. Abominations with giant maws covering their face or multiple eyes or other mutations come out.

And all of them are screaming, in words they understand.
"Help!"
"Please no!"
"Oh god"
"Help over here!"

The voices are human, but the forms are not, and they are lunging at you. Thanks to choosing the monorail, most of them start climbing up the pillars.

Using his adhesion to keep on the tracks, and having literally no idea what to do, Hazard pressed forward. Activating all of his plasma blades for effect and letting the bright yellow glow of the heated beams of energy flicker in the flesh-halls.

With no targets in RA to attack, he just runs along with the others where they got.

[SILVER KNIGHT'S COMMS: OFF.]

The silver suit simply gets ready to fight, its helmet entirely emotionless, lit only by Argent Slicer's crimson lightning as he looks down at them from the monorail.

"Cover the evac pods! Don't let them get destroyed!"

Doc rushed through the air, and pulled a pair of heavy drones out from his mouth. With a thought, the pair turned their metalstorms at the beast, and opened fire as Doc took to getting the FUCK away from the thing. With a second thought, he launched his light drones to swoop into the melee near the pods, launching sticky grenades left and right to slow the approaching horde.

Buio takes out a holographic keyboard and tries to be like one of those hackers from the movies as hard as he can. Unfortunately he has hardly ever watched any movies that actually have hacking, and it's not like he has any hacking expertise despite having a Cyber Brain. Clownfish's suit just gives a big fat "ACCESS DENIED" on the HUD.
"Well you're certainly not compliant."
He puts Clownfish's suit on the back of his platform, basically being a dead weight.
He then actually pays attention to the shit going on around him and amongst the darkness, and notices the rush of zombies trying to assault Ryman's suit several dozen meters or so next to him.

Quads and Silver Knight stand atop the rails, as more zed start clawing their way up. There are zombies up in front of them, zombies behind them, there are also zombies coming up on the rails on the sides!

>>946329
As Quads and SK raise their weapons to fend themselves off, a zed lunges at them, only to be throw aside along with half a dozen others by autocannon fire.

Ryman and his drones unleash a hellstorm of autocannon and firestorm on zombies all around them. They are being cut down and torn to shreds by dozens, by hundreds, the drones take up positions flanking Ryman as 360* arc of fire cuts down approaching zed like wheat, or burns them to nothing. He makes sure to use the missile to smash the biggest groups of the horde.

Ryman's siege mode provides excellent splash damage cover, further spreading the damage and turning the horde into a bloody burnt paste. It's keeping them away and the unconscious suits who are on him alive.

>>946362
While Ryman covers the front, Buio covers his rear, as they fight back to back against the swarm. Buio covers the road behind them, his autocannons and flamethrowers purging the zombies that approach. A particularly deadly combination, the autocannons shred the humanoids while the flames burn their flesh slowing them down and even getting rid of some severed zombies crawling on their arms. The rail rifle is somewhat useful only if there's a good lined shot of multiple zombies, but its power cannot be denied.

The two suits standing back to back are holding off the horde!

Kion fires off plasma arrows at the worm, while Doc Roc launches wave after wave of metalstorm shrapnel at it. They cut into the worms tender flesh, but the sheer size of it they might as well be throwing popcorn. This thing is like a mobile skyscraper, it's going to take some SERIOUS firepower to take it down.

Luckily it seems the worm has lost track of them while they were flying, as it smashed back into the ground it came up but away from them

But it's headed for the other team!

Meanwhile, LL watches the zombies as they approach the pods. Dozens of fists slam themselves onto the shields of the pods that start to shimmer, but the drones launch grenades into their ranks sending body parts and gore flying. LL then lands and the medium proceeds to start smashing away any zombie that tries to come close. It's a good thing he has multiple limbs, all the better to smash zombies on all for sides, in front, in back, to the left and to the side. It's all he can do to keep the swarm off.

So far so good, the team holds on, the zombies are dying, but despite that more and more are coming, more than they are killing, and something worse than even giant worms seems to be headed their way

APOLOGIES

I must cut the mission here. Something IRL has happened. I will update in thread about next time

Good news about next mission:
Will hopefully be at a time more conductive to players
Will definitely have a map
