UPDATE 48 - Final Setup
The last update saw the finalization of the Leviathan plans.
Aliens will try very hard to catch us now.
Tasoths join the global search.
We have nothing left to research, so Atlantic base's scientists are sacked.
Still trying to expand that destroyed colony... Shadowing the sub and Triton patrols don't reveal anything.
Looks like the aliens are starved for resources.
Finally, after two weeks being repaired, our Mantas are back in action.
Another dreadnought. We just let it fly around.
This one we shoot down.
As well as this sub.
And this one as well.
As usual, the large dreadnoughts on base attacks are left alone.
And, after many days, the production of the Leviathan is complete.
All the equipment is unloaded from the Triton.
And the best soldiers from Pacific base are transferred to Atlantic.
Each soldier is assigned a suit of Magnetic Ion Armor as he boards the sub.
Storage space is a bit small for such a big team. We manage to take the bare essentials but will have to scavenge for ammo and pulsers.
Let's take a look at the fine 18 soldiers assigned to the Leviathan.
Seaman Trash IV is one of the four lucky rookies who scores high enough on the M.C. test to be allowed in.
Commander Oscar has improved steadily over his long service. His aim started rather good, but is truly excellent now.
Ensign lightbane made some progress as a controller, and has shown he can control the lowest ranks of Tasoths already.
Lieutenant aRyan's very good accuracy will be most useful in the upcoming mission.
Commander Banelion is quickly becoming a dangerous asset. His M.C. Skill is through the roof.
Lieutenant Black IV has shown some good progress in both accuracy and strength.
Captain eklektyk is nothing but a god among men. His accuracy is off the chart, his strength surpasses anyone's, he's the fastest of our aquanauts, and also the healthiest. Only his bravery leaves a bit to be desired.
Ensign BayBee has the weakest M.C. strength of the group, but is also the bravest soldier we have ever seen, which will be most useful in resisting alien panic attacks.
Seaman Krraloth is the second rookie assigned to the Leviathan. He has already seen some action but never scored a kill.
Ensign Azira is a natural born sniper, but isn't the bravest soldier. As long as things go smoothly he should be a valuable asset.
Ensign Pope Amole's recent outstanding performance earned him some much needed accuracy and strength.
Ensign Golgepapaz Üç's perfect M.C. strength will be of little use without some prior training, but he is at least sure to resist any attempt targeted his way.
Ensign Mal also lacked time to hone his controller skills, but can act as a backup sniper just as well.
Able Seaman Juggernaut a pretty good shot, but along with BayBee will probably spend most of his time trying to resist alien control.
Ensign Stereotypical Villain has shown some excellent Disruptor skills in the last terror mission. We don't have enough space to take one, but will probably loot a couple from alien corpses.
Seaman toastboy spotter is the third rookie in the Leviathan. A potential controller who also didn't have enough time to train.
The very same thing can be said about seaman Slaughter.
Ensign Shepard has been in many mission, but mostly operated a M.C. Reader from afar. Now's his chance to go EXTREME.
There, on Friday the 24th of September, at 17:00, the final assault was to be launched.
Preparations are made, some soldiers could use a little training but each passing day risks the lives of many humans.
The Leviathan's launch order is...
A - Given. Time to finish the fight.
B - Delayed. We still have things to do, tactics to assess, soldiers to train.
This is the final poll of this LP. If you'd like to see something in particular before the end mission, now's the time to speak up.
