...ha. Ha ha. Thank you for your gratitude for the hours of work I put into that mission. I really appreciate it.
Frost. A couple of things. Not only did we wipe out NEARLY EVERY COMMANDO ON THE ENEMY TEAM THERE, but you completely misinterpreted what happened beyond what I could have even anticipated.
It's really sad that subtitles are missed and I have to spell everything out here.
- Contrary to Layrinxa 2, the squad went down swinging, taking out, again, most of the enemy commandos. They were as mook-ified as Strike One was there. Both sides took losses quickly because it was a fast-paced mission.
- It was a bad situation in general. The majority of the soldiers on that team? Unmodified. I've said this before: MOD YOUR DUDES. The only reason the enemy team is as strong as they are is because they're heavily modified. And we have access to most of the enemy's gene mods now! One of the reasons this Strike One got their asses handed to them is because they were all unmodded. This wasn't the psi/gene/cyber A team, this was a C or D team at best. We weren't expecting a trap.
- And in that vein, Tris is testing our resolve by doing that. We had been doing well and hadn't been taking many losses, so she upped the stakes to see what would happen.
- You can't leave the XSDF in wartime. *hands dunce cap*. That's call desertion. In normal wars a lot more people die than this, and you still don't get mass desertion. So that's absolute defeatist crap coming from you and you alone.
- This mission was not entirely in vain. Not only have we witnessed some of the enemy's capabilities (The Juggernaut uses one of the Starcraft-Immortal esque shields and has some tough armor, but we could use rapid fire stuff to chip away at the shields and then armor penetration stuff against her armor. We know to do that now) but we learned really important stuff about Trismegistus. We learned she's an A.I.! That was a huge reveal!
- As a side note, don't pretend to know how my character thinks. In regards to that, fuck off. You tell me not to tell you how to play your characters, so don't be a hypocrite.
- An the rest of the stuff we got from the sacrifices? Besides the Juggernaut getting close to being beaten, and Trismegistus losing an advanced frame, you seemed to have missed something that Kallpa did. His biggest accomplishment in that mission that disgraces his memory to brush off.
When the Trickster came to Kallpa, notice he only used his left Bonecrusher. His right arm was completely inoperable thanks to Siegfried's shot. And do you know what Kallpa did to him? HE LITERALLY TURNED HIM INTO A SKELETON BY BURNING AWAY ALL LIVING TISSUE ON HIS BODY. He's ABSOLUTELY dead, dude. We killed one of them.
