Dunno what good it will do, since or conversation will obviously be monitored, but we can at least stall for time.

Is it possible that Admiral Asshole isn't actually connected to this and is merely an unlikable, incompetent sac? We can assume he stole trophies to get into his position, but beyond that? It's entirely possible another night-prowler is behind the technology selling, taking advantage of his fleet-master's incompetence. I mean beyond being the fleet master, we don't know if he was directly involved in the missions with the disappearances. He is the fleet-master after all, there's a lot of shit he can't personally micromanage.

>>25006303

"Where is Jackal-of-Carrion?" You demand over the comms. "He is in charge of this mission. Let me speak to him."

There is a pause. "He has been escorted off the bridge and thrown into the brig for disrespecting my command. He has forgotten this is a Night-Prowler ship, and I am its captain. I am now in charge of this mission, and my order to you is to hand this ship over to me!"

Do you:

A. Inform him this is a breach of operational protocol, and is tantamount to treason.
B. Insist he put Jackal on the comms, brig or not.
C. Tell him you'll cooperate, and agree to evacuate the ship.

>>25006385
I think stealing trophies actually carries the same sentence as selling technology. Death.

>>25006402
>A. Inform him this is a breach of operational protocol, and is tantamount to treason.
That's not how it fucking works, the matriarchs gave a command he is to follow.

>>25006402

Lets play some hardball.


Also, OP, you're missing your name.

>>25006402
A) with a bit of B)

"Shipmaster or not, you have no right to hold jackal-of-carrion, in addition to breaching operational protocol"

>>25006406

Well yes, Admiral Asshole is an asshole for stealing these trophies. But assholes can only do so much assholery; I'm saying that what we know doesn't necessarily imply he's doing the technology selling. It's very well possible there's another night-prowler behind this, spurred on by an incompetent fleet-master who can't stop him.

>>25006402
>>25006270
(you're missing your name OP)

>>25006406
It does.
This goes beyond incompetence. You don't sell technology to an alien race you are not supposed to have contact to due to 'incompetence'. You don't present trophies that are clearly not your own, as your own due to 'incompetence'.
Personally, I want to wait for a better hand before confronting him; at the moment he holds all the cards. I don't want to go toe-to-toe against hi flag ship right now, even if we do have 3 crippled ships.

>B

>>25006462
If he's not actively trying to betray us, then he's doing a DAMN GOOD JOB of faking it.

>>25006425
>>A.

"This is a breach of operational protocol, and is tantamount to treason!" you inform him. "The matriarchs have given you a mandate and you have far overstepped its bounds."

"Yes, and I'm sure the Empress's agents are on their way to arrest me now, here in the middle of nowhere, thousands of light-years away from the nearest outpost. Give me the ship. You have five minutes."

With that, the comms link is broken.

You receive another incoming message. This time from your mentor. He seems to be crawling through a tight passage.

"That Night-Star is a hologram. It's a very well crafted one, but he can't fool me. I pretended to throw a fit and got myself thrown off the bridge. I need to find out who's controlling the hologram. He has to be somewhere on this ship. You need to stall."

Do you:

A. Ask Jackal to sabotage their weapons systems if possible.
B. Ask Jackal to sabotage their sensor systems if possible.
C. Tell him you'll try your best to stall.

>>25006538
C, let's have faith in our Mentor's skills

>>25006495
>>25006489

Well, his two destroyers witnessed us destroy all hostiles and secure the ship before Admiral Asshole sent them away. Seeing as we're in the middle of deep space, there's no convenient place or hostiles available for a little accident. If he wants to betray us, he'll have to fire on us himself, which is a very dubious proposition to justify.

It's not prudent to steal our mastah's spotlight.

He's gotten away with worse. It would really be quite the shame if the human battlecruiser, with a malfunctioning up-scaled plasma caster and damaged generators suddenly went KABOOM while the entry team was aboard and their ship was attached, wouldn't it?
He'd only have to kill us; the ships he can take for his own

>>25006575
>>25006551

You tell him you'll do your best to stall. You quickly consult with your teammates.

"I say we set off the munitions storage, de-pressurize half the ship, and tell him the ship is highly unstable at the moment," Burning-Scythe suggests.

"No point in remaining civil any more," Seeking-Eye chimes in. "Tell him we'll shoot down any shuttles he sends and meet any boarders with plasma fire."

Quick-Shadow's next. "Bluff him. Tell him we got the cannon operational. If he tries anything, we'll gut his ship."

Do you:

A. Ask Burning-Scythe to find a way to de-pressurize the ship.
B. Threaten Night-Star to shoot down any shuttles he sends.
C. Bluff, and tell him you managed to get the prototype cannon working.
D. Other.

>>25006671
Is our armor suited for vacuum, and how are our oxygen supplies?

>>25006656

But he wants the ship. Being on the ship is what's keeping us alive right now; we leave the ship, we stop being in the way of having the ship.

They aleady saw the cannon fail once so that bluff won't fly.

I say we destroy the cannon's reactor ourselves, both to cover our tracks with that plasma core we found and to stall them. That should be believable.

>>25006699
You have re-breathers, but you won't be de pressurizing the whole ship, only parts of it.

>>25006671

>>25006729
Grab it for info and to hopefully get the Marines to go to war against W-Y, possibly by attacking them with it.

>>25006729
IIRC we need the ship to A) masquerade amongst the humans and B) Spoof their comms and stuff.

>>25006671

No sense in starting a direct confrontation. We've got 3 Hunters and a Noobie to cover a whole ship, not exactly a winning proposition..

>>25006729
Bring it back. study it, and use it to pull other humans into conflict with Weyland Yutani.

>>25006671

A, though Night-Star will probably know something is up.

Could we throw in a little "Some crew/synthetics have managed to slip into the vents and are sabotaging the ship?" to complement our A? Hopefully A is disincentive enough to prevent additional boarding, while saying "SABOTEURS OH NOES" gives us a fairly reasonable excuse for the time being.

>>25006671
A.

It's not time to show our cards just yet

Could we pilot this ship without the crew?

>>25006804
That could work. We could pass it off as "previously deactivated synthetics are starting to appear on sensors".

>>25006804
Ooh, excellent idea

>>25006780
>>A. Ask Burning-Scythe to find a way to de-pressurize the ship.

You turn to Burning-Scythe. "Do it."

"Right," he tells you. He taps away at the nearby console. "I'm going to shut off coolant flow and vent plasma into the lower munitions bay. Hang on to something."

You brace yourself for impact. You hear a sharp hiss and a sudden jolt as the ship is thrown violently side ways. Warnings begin blaring around you.

You raise Night-Star on the comms. "We've got a hull breach. Multiple decks de pressurized. This is ship is highly unstable. The whole thing could fall apart at any second. You need to give us a moment to stabilize this."

Night-Star clicks irritatingly. "I don't have time for this. Prepare to be boarded."

The comms link breaks again.

A moment later, you hear Steel-Arrow's voice. "I see shuttles undocking from his flagship."

Do you:

A. Open fire on the shuttles as they approach.
B. Let the shuttles in and prepare to repel boarders.
C. Evacuate and return to your ships.

>>25006901
Hmmmm, B. The guys on those shuttles could just be following orders. Lets do hit and run stuff and harass them on the ship to buy time.

>>25006901

Well so much for that.

If they're at all smart, they'll shoot our ships down and strand us here. We don't really want to open fire on other night-prowler forces either.

>>25006901

Does depressurizing our ship gonna affect our piloting?

>>25006959

"Hit them."

"Right. Rail-guns online and tracking," Seeking-Eye tells you. You hear the thrumming of the auto-loaders working.

"They're not returning fire." Seeking-Eye tell you. "Maybe Night-Star bought that whole ship-is-about-to-collapse ruse after all."

"Or, he's willing to risk a few lives to take this ship in one piece," Quick-Shadow mutters.

"Damn!" you hear Steel-Arrow curse. "He's firing at ME!"

Do you:

A. Tell him to make a run for it and engage foldspace to inform the matriarchs of what happened here. (DC: Hard)
B. Tell him to stay close to the battle-cruiser

"They're still coming in." Seeking-Eye informs you.

You notice someone reaching out to you via your private comms. It's your mentor.

"I've found the real Night-Star," he tell you. "He's boarding a shuttle. He's en route to you now. If you think you can handle him, I'll try to gain control of this ship. With most of his warriors gone, I can assault the bridge. Or I can hijack a shuttle and follow him. What do you prefer?"

You turn to Burning-Scythe. "Think you can make this ship a hostile environment for boarding?"

He clicks in amusement. "Like you wouldn't believe," he tells you. "Problem with these human ships," he taps away on a nearby console, "is they're poorly designed and prone to fall apart at the worst moments."

"They're past our defence grid now. Managed to shoot down one and wound another. Six left. They're heading for the hangar. "Seeking-Eye informs you.

Do you:

A. Ask Seeking-Eye and Quick-Shadow to meet you in the hangar.
B. Ask Seeking-Eye and Quick-Shadow to secure the bridge and hold it.
C. Ask Seeking-Eye and Quick-Shadow to trap the bridge with explosives and join you at the reactor

Actually... with no one manning their flagship, can't we just make a run for it when they start to board? Set somes explosives on the bridge (and the reactor if we have any remaining) as we run away, bam, they've got a big mess to clean up even if our mentor fails. And if he succeeds, well then they're effectively at our mercy.

"Steel-Arrow here. You've got 4 shuttles touching down inside the hangar. Two more are loitering outside."

I've got surveillance online," Burning-Scythe informs you. "Four teams of three warriors each in the hangars. They're splitting up. Two teams are heading to the bridge. Two are coming straight for us."

"Bridge is trapped. They're in for a surprise." Seeking-Eye tells you a moment later. "We're en route to the reactor room now."

B
Perhaps we can make it look like the crew rigged something there. We can't kill other Yautja.

>>25007825
B-arracks

>>25007825
B, we are outnumbered so the mess hall is a killing zone and Sharp-Spike can't aim.

>>25007825
C-atwalks.

>>25007825
C. Let's try the catwalks, but not long-range; let's use them for melee ambushes.

>>25007852
>>B. Set up an ambush in the barracks.

"Let's meet them in the barracks," you tell your teammates.

The three of you meet up inside the armoury, one deck above the barracks. You pry open one of the floor vents, and prepare to leap down. You glance at Quick-Shadow.

"You know we may have to kill your clan mates."

"I may feel bad if their commander wasn't a traitorous asshole," he responds, and leaps first down the opening.

You and Seeking-Eye follow. You glance around, and notice several sentry guns around you.

You ask Burning-Scythe. "Can we activate these guns?"

"Yes. But I don't have time to change their targeting parameters. They'll be shooting at any moving targets."

Do you:

A. Have your team work on mining the area with proximity mines.
B. Have your team work on mining the area with remote mines.
C. Do nothing, for now, and find a place to lay low and observe.

>>25007912

>>25007912

A, it'll work better if we don't blow our mines all at once. Paranoia etc.

Where is Burning-Scythe? Is he with us or back at the reactor.

>>25007925
Sounds good to me. Nice tar pit for them.

>>25007925
Let's definitely keep the sentry guns in consideration. Turning them on and getting out seems like a plan.

>>25007912
>A. Have your team work on mining the area with proximity mines.

>>25007944
Back at the reactor.

>>25007955
All the more reason for us to trap the barracks and head back in his direction.

>>25007925
This.

>>25007925
This. Try to place the mines in areas out of the sentry gun's line of sight or any places where you think people might use for cover.

>>25007925
Bonus: if any of them escape, we can legitimately claim that the ship and its crew had it out for them and we had nothing to do with it.

>>25007912
B

And we hide with our advanced NP stealth to trigger the mines.

>>25007924
>>A. Have your team work on mining the area with proximity mines.

The three of you work together and begin to place mines in the area.

You are almost done when Burning-Scythe informs you the intruders are almost there.

Do you:

A. Arm the mines and retreat to the barracks exit.
B. Arm the mines and find a nearby room to hole up.

yes

>>25007996

A, ask to activate the sentries once we're clear.

>>25007996
>A. Arm the mines and retreat to the barracks exit.

>>25007996
Arm the mines, retreat *through* the barracks exit, get the guns turned on, and either ambush them in the gantries or back at the reactor.

Also, make sure our other team knows not to trip the mines or the guns we just set as a trap.

>>25007996

>>25008066

Or.
>You murdered twelve allied warriors. Prepare to FINISH OFF ALL OPPOSITION MUHAHAOHHAHAHOAHAHHAOAHA ONLY WE SHALL REMAIN

>>25008003
>>A.

You arm the mines and with your team, retreat to the barracks entrance.

You notice the first team making their way down the corridors. They stop for a moment, reluctant to move into the mess of corridors.

Do you:

A. Use your holo-emitter to create the mirage of a running figure to lure them in. (DC: Medium- Easy)
B. Use your mask to project human speech to one of the corridors. (DC: Medium)
C. Do nothing, and wait.
D. Continue retreating into the gantries.

In yaujta society, males interaction is pretty damn testosterone driven - while murder is frowned upon violent beatings and fights occur with incredible frequency. In addition to having tons of evidence, 'he pissed me off' is generally seen as a valid excuse - especially when it comes into matters of him fucking with our prizes

When fucking around with others hunts / trophies a blind eye is generally turned towards acts of extreme violence or murder. Why? because if someone was low enough to fuck with another hunters prize they honestly deserve to die in the testosterone driven environment that is male interaction.

Younger males are frequently seen as *actually* insane due to their inability to reason through testosterone poisoning, it often leads to warrior masters murdering them somewhat indiscriminately for them being stupid enough to either piss them off or challenge them

>>25008176
black preds as they were confirmed to be an 'offshoot species' I'd prefer to believe dont exist - those were actually female yaujta in my mind, bigger and far more violent than males.

>>25008112
I don't think we can take trophies off the other Yautja hunters we kill. We're going to take douchebag's head back, but it's more of a "Dude tried to kill us, here's his head." instead of "Honorable Hunt."

I think the Super Predators from Predators were Bad Bloods, which explains why they were doing it. Not sure though.

>>25008216
That's a question I'd ask of PQ, actually: is it permitted to take trophies when bringing corrupt Yautja to justice?

>>25008202
Female Yautja have tits. They probably were an offshoot, either that or just a group of unusually large, unusually violent Bad Bloods.

I'm willing to bet if we went full strength focus at the start, we could have ended up Super Predator.

>>25008176
Preds are basically a primitive society with space age technology - they found what amounts to a working full stc library and their technology shot forward from stone age to 'galactic empire' stage.

Even better is that they understand it all too, they just rarely innovate on it ever because they dont need to, their existences are prettymuch solely devoted to pleasure (via hunting or clan politics)

>>25008157
>>A (Critical Success!)

You tune your holo-emitter and broadcast the mirage of a tall figure running across one of the many corridors.

You hear the enemy leader growl. "After him! You heard the Fleet-Master. No survivors."

The three of them begin to chase the fleeing figure.

You skillfully manipulate the holo-emitters controls and lead the team towards two of your mines. They run past it without a thought, and the mines detonate.

The explosion rocks the ship and the three warriors become engulfed by fireballs.

The two lighter armored warriors die instantly while the third managed to crawl away, having lost a leg. The sentry guns suddenly activate and flourescent blood sprays against the walls as he is gunned down. The first team is dead.

"Second team enroute," Burning-Scythe tells you. "They've reached the mess hall."

Do you:

A. Retreat back to the gantry.
B. Hold your position here.

>>25008292

>>25008287
>>A. Retreat back to the gantry.

You signal your team to fall back to the gantry.

You make your way along the two long beams with catwalks running parallel, one above the other, which overlooks the wide open loading bay far below. You study the structure briefly and decide it's too sturdy to blow apart.

But you notice the crane controls, and decide it's possible to swing one of the large containers with sufficient force at the lower catwalk to crush whoever happens to be walking along it.

You briefly discuss this with Burning-Scythe. "I see it," he tells you. "I can operate the crane from here. Give me the word."

Do you:

A. Have your team take position on the higher catwalk.
B. Have the Quick-Shadow and Seeking-Eye take position on the higher catwalk while you take the lower catwalk to draw them in.

Then B.

>>25008382
None of the remaining enemies know we have a holoprojector. Does it have enough range to create an image at the lower level while we are on the catwalk?

Taking back a B vote then and voting for holoprojector (and remote mines).

>>25008414
Given this information, can you allow some time for B votes to take in into account and decide if they want C: holoprojector?

>>25008404
I think they might see us up top pretty easily, making the hologram less useful.

>>25008434
The holoprojector option is presumably rolled into A.

>>25008388
Switching to A

>>25008451
That's confusing, since I think it fits nicely with the idea of wanting to bait the trap. But in any case, A then, or whatever involves using a fake us rather than a real us.

Mines too.

>>25008415
A I suppose.

>>25008451
good, this way we might still seem uninvolved if we're lucky skilled enough.

>>25008382
B vote here, switching to A for the holoprojector.

A.

>>25008478
>>A. Have your team take position on the higher catwalk.

You usher your team across one one of the horizontal beams and take a prone position along the top catwalk. Quick-Shadow readies his spear gun and adjusts the scope.

You wait for a moment, and the second team begin approaching the lower catwalk.

Their team leader signals them to stop. You change your vision mode to tech and notice his mask painting the catwalk before him with scanning beams. He is checking for mines.

Do you:

A. Use the holo-emitter to project a figure of yourself onto the lower catwalk.
B. Instruct Quick-Shadow to take the squad leader down.
C. Wait until he is done scanning.

>>25008517
B) he's damn good with that thing

>>25008517
B

>>25008517
C

>>25008517

>>25008517
B.

Man we are so going to Nat 1 this roll, Quick-Shadow is going to fire, slip and be gutted as he falls.

>>25008517
B.

He'll give away the trap, best take him out quick.

>>25008517
B

>>25008517
B
"Aim for their leader!"

>>25008551
>>B. Instruct Quick-Shadow to take the squad leader down.

You give Quick-Shadow the signal. He clicks in acknowledgement, lines up his shot, and fires.

The shot punches straight through the squad leader's visor and blows out the back of his skull. He wavers for a moment, then falls forward, dead.

His two squad mates, suddenly taken aback by this quickly steps backwards, and begins to run back towards the barracks.

Do you:

A. Wait.
B. Give chase.

>>25008576
A

>>25008576
A
Perhaps they'll run into the sentry guns.

>>25008576
A. Wait.

Cant go walking into a trap or ambush ourselves.

>>25008576
A, let them fall back, the guns might finish them off and we don't wanna run into an ambush of our own in chasing them
