The ADVENT Assault Force - lead by none other than Colonel Cain Verrater himself - took the large, very-much-intact monorail that remained up onto the uppermost level of Matterhorn. From there, they started to pour forward. It was tough going at first, but once they had established a staging...

“Operation Shieldwall, Part 4” “G...goddamn you! Damn you to hell!” Stacie was the first to respond, fury overtaking her. She lifted her blitz pistols, and sent a burning, constant stream of heat energy into the task force member’s shield. A telekinetic barrier helped protect her, but even...

“Operation Shieldwall, Part 3” The alien vanguard was soon back on the offensive. This time an Andromedon was thrown at the defenders alongside a smattering of Vipers, Mimics, and Mecroaches. The mechanical insects rushed the Matterhorn troops, giving them a hellish rain of pulse pistol...

“Operation Shieldwall, Part 2” Merlux. Looks like it’s time for you to shine. I need you to pump all your processing power into evasion assistance, Stacie requested. I’d rather not become a pincushion for plasma bolts. I will do my best. Merlux paused as time slowed down from his user’s...

“Operation Shieldwall, Part 1” The first shot came from afar. A lance of plasma flared into existence, exiting the barrel of a distant unseen enemy and - in the blink of an eye - impaling through the skull of a Matterhorn Sergeant. He wordlessly tumbled to the ground, throwing the subordinates...

That's great. Fun time's over now though. After many mental revisions and concept's gone through, after hours of planning and work... I give you... Operation Shieldwall. Marine BTFO, it's longer than his solo mission.

An update: I have one more part to write. The first half of the mission is almost ready. I'll start throwing that up soon. (There will be a gap between the solo portion and the collaborative end since it's bit too overwhelmingly tense to put up all at the same time.)

TRIGGERED! (That picture is amazing.)

By the way, the new black Muton armor looks like the bottom left picture. The bottom right is a variant we haven't met quite yet.

If you have any posts that need to happen within the siege, finish them now!

Yeah, fair warning, you are almost assuredly not going to see the climax battle until tomorrow. I have the first half to write, but I'm all missioned-out for today. If I can't sleep and end up writing until late, then you might see the first half in the dead of night/early morning, but don't...

My man. We think alike.

V4's opening will be especially relevant after this arc. :rolleyes:

Odd question, but do any of you ever envision a 'show opening sequence' for our stories? I know I do when I'm listening to certain songs.

I'd make a joke about me being legal age now, but in Texas that was last year. Ah, birthdays. They remind you that you're a year past your youth and a year closer to sweet, sweet death.

To answer someone's question, there will not be any further missions in the siege beyond this point. The climax battle (and the segue operation that leads into it) is all that remains. The segue is something I'll be writing on my own. The climax fight itself necessitates myself and Marine. It...

All I'll say is your assumptions about how that fight will go down are not necessarily correct.
