Why do you think we can help you exactly?
At the least, state situation so we know what's up.

wha? what's going on, who's yelling?

You're a... slime soldier? Looks like a beachhead with a machine gun emplacement pointed at you.

I don't think we can help you in this situation. These sorts of engagements are meat grinders.

>I'm actually wanting your help this time, so please wake up!
Okay, we're awake. As you appear to be on a battlefield, I advise you to not get shot.

If you want more useful advice, we need intel. Start filling in details. What the hell is going on?

If you actually want to hear voices in your head there's something wrong with you.

The Push started today! Since this peninsula was so small, only two Combatants were sent at it. We got torn up fast, I can count the guys who got three feet out of the water on one hand.

>Why do you think we can help you exactly?

Fuck me, but you're right. I dunno, I guess I thought you'd know something I didn't. Don't get me wrong, you guys can be a bunch of pricks, but your advice got me through basic training at the top of the class. I thought maybe you could think of something--

Xavier

So, you guys are pinned right?
Hrrm, that you're apparently slimes makes me wonder about the viability of sort of 'hiding' in the goop of your teammates and then sneaking around to behind the towers so that it's not an obvious suicide mission. Then again, unless you guys have something else you can hit/do, I'd advise you to pray, and then go for it.

that raises a point. what is needed to kill you? just puncture of your membrane or something specific?

could try strapping on all the helmets and rolling towards the towers in a helmet shell.

>one rocket, two towers
If they were taller, I'd suggest shooting one tower so it lands on the other.

Your buddies' running up and planting an explosive plan has it's problems, though. How exactly is anyone supposed to make it up out of this hole, let alone close the distance, without getting filled full of holes?

alright the best I can come up with is have rocket slime there take out the tower on the left while everyone else puts some covering fire on the right tower so you can move up. then you can come up from the left and throw your charge at it.

The only other plan I got is to pray like a dickens to whatever god you pray to for a miracle... or do both really couldn't hurt.

There's no way we could sneak past them, and we can't take them both out with one shot, so....

Oh hell, looks like we're just gonna have to pray and go.

Victor

Xavier
>"You got it!"

Thank Gad one of the guys who made it was the best rocketeer in our Force. That thing went clean into the slot, the left tower's dead!

Victor

Dan
>"Hem no! One unzip gun less still means a thousand-something shots per minute! And what is that, two lines of grater wire?"

Terone

Wait, Terone made it? Of course he did, he's the luckiest guy in the Combatant. I bet him being behind me was why I got this far.

Dan
>"Well...if T's coming too I'll do it, but if I get shot I swear to Gad I'll kill you all!"
Dan and Terone are moving to cut the first line of grater wire.

Mike
>"Right tower's quiet, I dunno if it's our shots or a malfunction! Do we move up too?"

Hell if I'm supposed to know! What do I tell him?

derp, forgot the image

if it IS our shots then moving will let them get back to firing. stay here and keep up the pressure.

pulling your whole squad out of cover sounds like a slightly better plan then having them stand around holding neon signs that say shoot me, but not by much.

Have them stay in cover and for the love of god keep they're fight up. You're not out of the woods till that second tower is gone.

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!

damn it solder keep firing, if those two can't get to that tower then all of you are dead. just blind fire around your cover towards the tower. Keep the focused on you and let your buddies get close enough to finish that damn thing off. You're almost through, don't give up now.

get both guns and shoot like a crazy mother fucker.

blind fire, don't go for his gun until after the tower explodes...That is, if you want that gun.
But yeah, we HAVE to keep the heat on us as best we can.

Fuck, my gun!

time for operation helmet ball. get all the helmets you can carry around you.

Ok there's a fuck all huge pool of bodies behind you, don't tell me that there isn't a gun that you could grab a keep on blind firing.

Helmet shenanigans sounds good but a better question-where's the bomb bag guy? I thought he was almost there when your teammate got shot.

Unfortunately I am. Journeymen Corps weapons burst when the user dies, remember? The only ones in the Combatant with foreign guns were me and Mike, and his rifle's right across the tower's fire.

Regardless, try and slide him some more helmets to use as protection, I can't see a reason that's a bad idea right now.
As far as the bomb guy...Wait a sec.
If he's still okay, then the tower should be going boom soon. If he's not...Unless operation Helmetank works AWESOMELY we're up the creek without a paddle.

ah shit. Ok then throw him some helmets so he's less likely to end up goop and then rush over to your buddies rifle, you need it now more then he does.

>>575336
Throw him one of your extra helmets. He can use it as a shield.

>>575539
Well the first step would be to see what we have to work with. What resources do we have? do your guys have any skills that we should know about? What's the local terrain like beyond this beach?

Victor
--"Give us a sec, that's a lot to think about."
Terone
>"Sure thing, man."

Huh, it's a nice view from up here. Let's get thinking.

>>What resources do we have?
After all that, our gear comes down to Terone's chatter gun and the rifle from Mike. All five of the towers have been busted by rockets or pack charges, so there's not much chance of anything intact being in them. There might be some extra gear in our transport somewhere, but it might be hard to find--Text always packed things by the book, which means nothing will be in the most reasonable spot for it.

>>do your guys have any skills that we should know about?
Xavier's a great shot with rockets and Terone's the luckiest guy in the Combatant, that's about it. If having hard Centers counts as a skill, we've all got that--even Dan will shut up and get shit done when things are down to the wire.

>>What's the local terrain like beyond this beach?
Our briefing seems to have been right on the terrain. It's standard Laynen surroundings, mostly flatlands and a couple hills in the far distance. There's that town a ways up north, most likely occupied and aware of our presence here.

My suggestion is to head towards the town and find someplace to hide till nightfall. Once you've done that try to sneak into town and find a radio or something to call back home with to let them know your alive and what we can expect in the way of help. Hell even just an objective would be nice because the only thing we know of what you had to do was take the beach, after that we (as in the voices) don't know shit about shit. and if they want you to hold the beach then fuck that since there is no way only four guys can hold an entire beachhead with only two guns between them. You could do some gorilla warfare maybe but that's about it.

Sounds like a good plan.

Dan
>"Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I found this thing on the ground after we blew the last tower. The Harts are pretty shin at drawing, but it's got most of the surroundings on it."

A map? It's disproportionate as fuck but it's got some important landmarks on it. West of the town is a forest, to the south-west and south-east looks like farming fields. Where should we try to find a hiding place?

woods would be a fucking wonderful place to hide but with that thing in front of it I'm not to sure it would be a good idea. The town I want to avoid until night soooo... Think the cliffs would be a good spot to hide? I mean if they're not just a smooth drop they're would be plenty of hiding spots for your little group to wait till nightfall. Not to sure how good a climbing you guys are but yeah if all else fails you could just walk back around and get into town that way.

So a hearty mix of losing things and finding other things has led me to cut this short. Thanks to the 2 or 3 people that suggested on this, what I'm going to do next will be much better xD
