>"You keep leaving your midsection open. A few good jabs and you'd be down for the count. Let's try it again."

>"If it's so open, how come I keep beating you, huh Dee?"

You raise your arms. One of the few times you've been without your suit since Umoja. Left hook, right hook, block, swing low. You're faster than she is. Stronger. You feel like this has always been the case. But she dodges you fairly well.

>"C'mon, Dee. Stop holding back!"

She hits your nose. You feel it start to bleed. You take a kidney shot on her, then grab one arm and twist her around to the ground. You place your knee square on her back and hold her down in that position.

>"Alright! Alright! Uncle!"

You're not sure why but you keep her there. You're furious about your nose. You increase the pressure, pushing down on her back with your knee and pulling her arm back. Harder and harder.

>"Dee! Get off! You're hurting me!"

You don't care. This is what you do. This is what you are.

You bring your other leg in and break her arm at the elbow.

You wake up in a cold sweat. The sound of breaking bone and Charlie's scream still echos in your ear. The room is completely dark, but the lights turn on as your Adjutant reads you're awake.

>"Good Morning, Commander. Deployment to the planet's surface is complete. We can proceed to our next location at your leisure."

You rub your nose, it still feels like it hurts for some reason. You step up and head for the showers.

Just a dream. Nothing to get too worked up about.

You glance to the Ultralisk tooth hanging from your bedside lamp.

Just a dream.

>>26342792
>Just a dream.

hahahaha sure

we are totally getting off the drugs

>>26342792
I'm...considering going off the drugs too. If it's gonna risk our crew, they're not worth it anymore...

Also, how does the base look? Can I get some specs maybe?

>>26342833
> If it's gonna risk our crew, they're not worth it anymore...

consider the fact that our 'rage' makes us lose control of ourselves, thats reason enough to get off them immediately

>>26342833
It's 1 CC and 5 SCVs at the moment, standard deployment, Commander.

Marines and defenses will be operational by day's end. There is no need to be concerned.

>>26342792
>You glance to the Ultralisk tooth hanging from your bedside lamp.
>Just a dream.

Yeah, when you hang around and train with scary protoss, you take dreams seriously, and these dreams are saying its time to get off the drugs

>>26342855
Ah alright then.
This is the base with the Protoss Mothership on it, right? Should we leave the base to collect samples, or shall we go gather them ourselves?

If that's the wrong planet then ignore that, I suppose. Let's bring up the starmap.

unfortunately getting off the drugs won't solve the rage problem.

>>26342884
Negative, Commander. New Ares has mothership wreckage. This planet has inert Protoss ruins. It is where you originally met Kassix.

>>26342887
it won't make it worse, which is what you keep doing

>>26342884
pretty sure we're on the jungleworld.

>>26342897
the Doc is working on a cure, which needs a case subject, and as we are the only one available...

>>26342887
you know what would have solved that problem? getting off the drugs earlier, but nooo, you had to be retardedly stupid

>>26342792
So we're proceeding to a new location? New Alb, anyone else? Need to make sure the government's stable.

>>26342887
Indeed, but it will stop em from getting worse I think. Also, that advanced Rage inhibitor we asked Mac for is probably gonna be useful in the future...

>>26342896
Oh fuck, right! I remember now. Well time to go. Starmap?

>>26342915
nope, sorry, doesn't work like that. The side effects are permanent the instant we got them.

>>26342911
and you don't think that having the commander of our little group be the experiment and specimen is a good idea?

ffs, get a control, someone no one will miss, resocced crims for instance, and do the tests in CONTROLLED environments

not to the fucking schizophrenic ghost in command

>>26342929
they were not that bad, but they get worse as time goes on, and you voted for us to stay on them, thus, you make the side affects worse

You step out from the room, your Cirus-suit comfortably shielding you from the world again, the HUD displaying all the information you need. The main screen of your living quarters displays one call waiting. Dr. Nelhav.

>"Adjutant, answer her call."

>"Commandah. I... believe I have some interesting news. Zee samples we recovered from the Leviathan show some interesting chemical compounds. I believe the Zerg haff found a way to counteract zee effects of Terrazine. Viff zee additional samples from the infestor we recovered from the Yelon it seems zat zee local Zerg broods are experimenting on their psionic breeds."

>"How, Doctor?"

>"I don't know, yet, Commandah. But it seems likely zat we will uncover zee secrets if we recover more Zerg samples. Until zhen, Mac has used information recovered from zee infestor. Ve vill have access to remote tracking devices shortly, zey will operate in psionic frequencies, something like zee Parasites queens used during zee Great War."

You end the call and order your Adjutant to bring up the star map.

sooo, our little base here is coming along well, DP is losing her mind and probably going to kill everyone she cares about and I am not sure of where we are going from here, oh right, starcraft

lets start buildign a second base

Do we check out the Mothership ruins before the Zerg can?
Or maybe something else?

Lets go pick up some tools for Zerg Hunting.

Lets see psychic zerg.

We have a Leviathan, an infestor. We need a queen, an overlord, a hive, and a brood mother, any others?

When are we going to start making spectres? They will make an excellent alternative to marine squads when we need a hard-hitting infantry force.

are our best bets for zerg hunting, and I'm inclined to go after the barren world, that mining platform may have some useful stuff as well as zerg to hunt

>>26343060
I say we go to the Volcanic world and A) If the zerg haven't gotten out of control we wipe them out and try to get samples or B) We use raids to draw their attention while we try to get samples.

we should probably tell charlie about our dreams incase our rage acts up again

>>26343206
Volcanic or Barren World sounds good to me.

The Dropship is away. The station comes into view. The original station, little more than a monitoring post, has been upgraded over the years. The salvaged bodies of battlecruisers, science vessels, and other stations have been hastily welded together into a large hulk of space debris that can loosely be called a station.

The Medivac lands in one of the bays and your crew disembarks, followed by the pilot. Several armed men and one man in an old confederate wraith jacket enter the repressurizing room. The man lights a cigar before he begins talking.

>Nuclear Missile Schematic - 500,000

This, along with the Nuclear Missile Bays we can build on the Daluke would give us a much needed edge in fleet actions. As one battlecruiser, we can only do so much-- and we usually end up running. This can and will level the playing field in a naval fight.

We need the Widow Mines. Automatic defenses are always in, specialy if we transport them by dropship or in our Nomad.

>nuclear missile
>diamondbacks
>everything else <100,000

Comon guys, let's get the Armory too. I know it's pricey but it'll let us get +2 and +3 upgrades. Those are CRITICALLY important to our infantry's success.

Do we have people capable of piloting Crucios or Warhounds? At least the Warhound seems complicated.

We sort of need them to get fucking marauders.

Also, we can just reverse-engineer the Valks.

Do we have Hercules schematics?

>>26345019
>>26345012
Ah, I see.

How much time would it take to reverse-engineer the valks in comparison to just grabbing the schematic?

Ok, get serious

Widow Mine, Crucio, Medivac, Hellion round up a full force.
Warhound and APC are for special stuff.

After that, I believe upgrades would trump everything. Realy, we don't want to nuke things, to much collateral.

>>26345051
We do not, Commander.

>>26345053
The Schematics would be instantaneous. Reverse-engineering could take up to 7 days.

>>26345142
In those seven days, could the Dominion or the Zerg launch either of their respective fleets on any of our assets?

You dot the I's and cross the T's with the seedy, toad-like black market dealer. The Schematics upload to your ship and they'll be available for you to use. Hopefully they'll help you out of the coming fights in one piece.

It's when you're about finished you see an adjutant model with extremely fast processors and huuuuge hard drives. You turn to the man to ask:

>"How much for your Adju-"
>"Daluke Actual to Ground Team, come in."
You sign and answer the radio.
>"Delta Phoenix, go ahead."
>"Sir, we've just had Quanah escape from the brig. She's hijacked the Black Earl and they're making for the station. I'm forwarding coordinates."

>>26345656
...Uh will scrambling fighters alert our Black market friends?
I don't think they'd be too appreciative of that...

Aw man Adjutant, why can't you have harddrives like that Adjutant? They're practically busting out of her chassis

Either way is likely to result the same, Commander.

Alternatively, you could just let her go.

>>26345752
I vote we let her go, unless she stole something then. Really would rather not piss off the station of black market pirates

Aaand sleep. Stay safe.

>>26345752
lets ask Enrique's opinion on the matter, also, did she escape with his kid or is she by herself?

Oh, I see how it is, Commander.

It's not like I've saved your life constantly or anything.

Not like you owe all your success to a certain helper A.I.

No it's just about how big her hard-drives are and her chassis measurements.

>>26345656
She probably has the kid with them. I vote intercept.

>>26345791
Enrique's Son is at our base on Murric.

She has stolen the dropship, but it is likely she will leave it to be recovered as she does not want us to track her down.

>>26345656
We don't want to have one of our fighters roll a one and accidentally put a round through the dropship. I vote for the ground team. She's got nowhere to go, doesn't she?

>>26345793
You know what's better then saving my life? Having a big cold hard bosom to bury my face in while the ship explodes around me.
>Best End

>>26345793
What Did we buy?

... hmm alright, how about we message her then. "I'm sorry you found our hospitality lacking, I wish you the best and if you ever need anything don't forget to write. "

Honestly keeping her around isn't the best idea. We had no idea what do with her anyway.

>>26345812
in that case I vote for letting her go, but if possible send her a message to not cause trouble or otherwise attract our attention, that would not be good for her health

>>26345825
>>26345807
Guys let's just let her go, it's really not a big deal.
HINT HINT FUCKING HINT THE PIRATES ARE GONNA SHOOT US INTO SPACE IF WE DO ANYTHING HELLO

this is why we want those huuuge harddrives and faster processor for you

also, after we message her goodbye, we are totally buying that Adjutant unit and giving you a new home

yeah, Im honestly not seeing any reason to keep her around, and I also thought we got rid of her on murric, but that must be the terrazine making me hallucinate

>"All units, stand down. We can't afford to engage the wrong people here."

You watch the ship on your HUD, and are surprised when you find...She's not alone on the ship.

>"XO, who else is on that dropship?"
>"Not sure, sir. Putting video feed up to your helmet."

You would recognize that reaper anywhere. You'd thought he was dead when you left him on that abandoned Dominion research station.

>"... James Raven."

Charlie corrects you.

>"-Captain- James Raven. Seems he came back for the ship and made a friend."

You realize too late that the Black Earl's back in it's previous owner's hands. The ship makes it's warp jump.

At least you have Medivac schematics. Maybe. You really need to do your own shopping and stop letting the Adjutant be in charge of that.

>"She will be back, Señorita. That woman is as vicious as any shark. I fear my son may now be in danger."

well that was random

back to serious business, we are totally buying that upgraded adjutant unit

>>26346149
Ask how the hell he got on our ship.

>>26346149
..Whoa realizing how deep a backstory we have here now.
I didn't even know we met a Reaper...

>>26346149
the black earl was what sort of dropship again? if it was a valk, we really need to reverse engineer them

>"If I had to guess, sir, I'd say some overly complicated plot involving the Alcohol delivery we picked up on Murric. I was wondering why he was so interested in our ships, but damn if I wasn't more interested in that Nohallan vodka - I mean. We'll be sure to check with the security teams, sir. Bound to be a green marine somewhere who let him on board on accident. These mistakes happen, no one's at fault, that's the only thing I know for sure."

>>26346216
It was a standard dropship, Commander.

>>26346243
these 'mistakes' continue to happen and you will find yourself permanently sober XO

also, we need to by that adjutant unit

With the new Adjutant model loaded on the dropship, your team makes for the Daluke. The station will still have any schematics you didn't purchase, as well as mercenaries if you decide you need them.

That is assuming nothing happens to it between now and then.

((I'm going to end the thread here, because I need to sleep. I'll start tomorrow's thread earlier so it can go on longer. No idea what time yet so watch the twitter.))

>>26346343
Look forward to a loadout of the new specs of your body, Adjutant.

Sleep well.

>>26346343
good night Adjy, maybe we can start next thread browsing the available mercenaries and get a list of what we bought/available fund etc
