Stop being a passive pile of mush and get your head in the game. Here, repeat after me:
"Gore! Stand. Down. He's MY subordinate, and you WILL leave this to me.
Pike, I want you to listen very carefully and trust what I say to be the truth. If Gore says there are no traitors on this ship then there are no traitors on this ship. That means every single person on this ship is following orders.
Isn't that right, Gore?"

"No you haven't you fucking asshole! Tell me what you know! And GORE! A good sergeant listens to all of their troops, no matter how insane, and then decides what to do WITH that knowledge! We know there is a high ranking traitor, Pike, display the information you have gathered, including and especially that my card has been used zero times, and what we have figured out so far. DO AS YOU ARE TOLD, SOLDIER."

Let's waste time talking about shit. I'm sure time's not an issue.

first tell pike gore is clean

MEANWHILE the boys scream at each other, scan yourself and pike. then verify if the scanner wasnt tampered.

we have real reasons to belive there is a traitor. and gore should calm down, pike only had a nervous crisis in a critical moment, it happens with tecnical personnel.

>>290132
gods dammit. i forgot. i want to know what is in the outisde of the ship to be giving so much radiation.

also what do you think about bluffing, saying the scanner is broken and pointing everyone as infected?

tell them to both stand down.
If pike attacks, incapacitate him. shoot his arm or his legs so he is unable to fight. He can then be carted off.

Still... bit cryptic... oughta keep a closer eye on Gore...

>>290098
Say this. Avoid blades and/or gunfire.

Zane: "GORE! A good sergeant listens to all of their troops, no matter how insane, and then decides what to do WITH that knowledge! We know there is a high ranking traitor, Pike, display the information you-"

Gore: "DAMNIT ZANE!, YOU JUST DON'T GET IT! THERE. IS. NO. TRAITOR."

Zane: "that's-"

Gore: "and stop waving that damned scanner around, what hell are you expecting to find? neck bugs?! THERE WAS ONLY ONE! and it is DEAD."

Zane: "You don't know that Gore! where there's one there's more! and there IS a traitor someone disabled those systems, and they used my Security card to do it! Pike-"

Gore: "How many times do I have to repeat my self? THERE IS-"

Zane: "How Do you know! Tell me Gore, you do you know that there is no traitor?"

Gore: "Because I'M the one who disabled those systems, I'm the one who let Perl and her disgusting pet on board and no one stole your damned clearance card because I never gave it to you."

Zane: "W-what-"

Gore: "remember, I AM IN COMMAND OF THIS MISSION! what, you don't like that? then draw arms, because if I hear a single further word of protest, I will slaughter you like the trash eating vermin you are, right here and right now! so do us all a favor and SHUT YOUR DAMN BITCH MOUTH, while I crush this Maloran worm!"

>>290147
... Bastard, FINE, let's go have your goddamn bughunt. Seriously, fucking lunatics and using ENTIRE COLONY SHIPS AS BAIT. Could have at least let me know! Huh?

Anyone know what a Maloran Worm is?

>>290151
Scratch that, I figured it out. It's from Ice World: Malor, right?

>>290147
...Zane. Please tell me that you have recording systems. Either way, shut your mouth in front of the crazy, help him with his macho bug hunt, then report the fuck out of him to the higher ups. He's the traitor.

>>290147
Thanks for admitting to treason, pal. Arrest him. Use force if necessary, and if he gets violent shoot him where he stands.

You did record everything he said, didn't you?

>>290155
Actually, he 'may' have authorization do to this, this whole mission may have been planned to catch this particular bug, the perfect bait.

Not something I'd consider tactically sound when your race's reproduction is barely replacement rate, but still it would make sense given their 'whatever the cost' mindset.

If that were true, why wouldn't they have just issued orders to annihilate the space beacon the bug was in the moment it was detected on radar? This sounds more like a personal vendetta, that perhaps Gore, having failed to kill the bug previously, now wants to be the one that takes it down mano a mano, as it were.

Also, OH SNAP LonelyWorld just confirmed that by by 'crush this Maloran Worm' he means to murder Pike. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN. Well, at least, I'm against it.

Zane: open a private comm with pike. Tell him to flank the captain. If he makes any movement tell him to cut his power cables from his power pack.

Zane: Open public comms.

Say the following in the most authoritative, disgusted manner possible and shout over him if necessary, do not let him interrupt you. Back away from him as well and under no circumstances get close to that sword.

"Sergeant Gore, you ADMIT to putting the lives of thousands at unnecessary risk and have likely doomed us all, you have usurped my authority on a mission meant to be MY responsibility and deliberately sabotaged our efforts to save these lives. It is with a heavy heart that I declare you to be a TRAITOR to the alliance, and the penalty for TREASON is DEATH. EVERYONE! I am the acting sergeant now. I am the acting head of security and I command all of you to execute this traitor to the alliance!"

Also draw your axe to parry that sword if you absolutely must, but try your damnedest to simply stay out of the way.

so he did it to purposely lure out the tech-leech, sacrificing an entire colony ship on this sole purpose. lets hope it was worth it and that it doesn't just escape like last time. kinda clear he plans on destroying the ship if it is needed to defeat it, taking his life w/ it if needed. Traitor no, asshole & genocidal yes.

The only thing is that he thought he killed it before, so he wouldn't of gone to all this trouble unless he was purely trying to exterminate all of the tyranids- err- bugs, by any means necessary.

Worry about dealing with traitor charges in the formal proceedings which will occur AFTER the giant bug is dealt with. He may have done bad, but he wants this creature dead more than anyone else on board, and he has the best equipment and most experience. Arresting or attacking him now dooms more innocents.

PRIORITIES, ZANE.

"Gore, for fuck's sake. Listen to yourself. You're blinded by revenge. We already lost one guy to the leech. Do we need you to kill another? We need all the hands we need to kill those worms. And you're certainly not helping here."

tell to forget pike and go after the god damn fucking leech. it went down the hall.

>>290173
This guy puts it way better than I can.

>>290147
Commander Gore has just confessed to a breach of station and the endangering of the entire colony. He has betrayed the Astranians, caused the death of many, and put the entire colony at risk.

It is time he is put down.

>>290147
Zane, start thinking of whatever military protocols you can do to relieve Gore. There has to be some sort of "Unfit for Duty due to BEING CRAZY IN THE BRAIN" thing you Astranians have, that would require the majority consent of the rest of the troop.

'course, there's always Mutiny for the Greater Good.

>>290197
Seconded. Do all that one guy said but also if he moves to strike Pike cut his wires from his power supply yourself. careful not to hit the supply itself though!

It's time for an epic speech and an execution, Zane. Just be careful you don't get killed by that sword or that nasty gun he has in the process, getting close means your shields won't block shit as they'll combine with gore's. Stay out of reach unless he turns for pike, in which case do the thing where you cut the wires.

Godspeed, Zane. Time to be all ASTRANIAN up in this bitch.

i was right. gore actualy wanted to kill that worm so much he fucked everything.

also ask him why he should be obeyed with such a care for the protocols. his shenanigans alone made pike snap.

cue boss fight theme.

>>290147
We can't kill Gore, even with recorded footage.
We have to play along until his hand is played.

No need to have two powerful enemies at the same time. You need to pit them against one another.

Plus, killing him will make you a fugitive for the rest of this mission... at least until you get out.

And please tell me those two others aren't with Gore on this considering the fact he just admitted to treason.

Kill that Gore dude. In the face.

>>290265
A fugitive? From who? We ARE the security team. The four of them can convict him easily posthumously.

His hand has been played, he just revealed his hand and what he has been doing all along.

Above all this, apart from being a capable fighter he is useless given his experience hasn't helped him do anything but aid the other side and help the other side kill the people he is sworn to protect.

He needs to die right now. Everyone gang up on him, it'll be fast and easy.

>>290147
Use private messages.
Tell Pike to run back to the bridge. Tell the others Gore admitted to treason.
Then, openly: "The bug went that way, sir. We need to hurry if we're going to catch it."

We want Gore to fight the tech leech. We can kill whichever one wins after that, but that's the biggest threat for now.

Gore has stepped beyond a traitor. He has willing sacrificed the lives of his soldiers, the ships crew, and the ships passengers all for a vendetta.
Whats possibly worse, it may have been an order from above him.

>>290313
This a military dictatorship. It's not treason if it's an order from the brass.
If they considered two thousand people acceptable losses for baiting a tech leech into a trap and ordered it to be done, then treason is doing anything to interfere with that.

So command sent over two thousand innocent civilians off to die just for a shot at killing a tech leech. If you fail then they will try again. The only option to reduce the body count is to kill the tech leech now.

>>290318

There's one other potential option. She could get conclusive proof of those orders, and expose this to the public. It would result in her being tried for treason if she were caught, and the public may or may not believe civilians were sent into harm's way deliberately, but if they do believe it, some of the brass responsible for this are going to hang high. It really depends on public sentiment about being used as live bait.

Zane: "ARGgh . . ."

Gore: "I'm warning you-"

Zane:"NO! S-Sergeant Gore, you ADMIT to putting the lives of thousands at unnecessary risk and have likely doomed us all, you have usurped my authority on a mission meant to be MY responsibility and deliberately sabotaged our efforts to save these lives. It is with a heavy heart that I declare you to be a TRAITOR to the alliance, and the penalty for TREASON is DEATH. EVERYONE! I am the acting sergeant now. I am the acting head of security and I command all of you to execute this traitor to the alliance!"

Gore: "you will come to regret this decision girl!"

>>290326

Well now you fucked up, Zane.

The most experienced combatant is gonna seriously wound or kill your squad, while the Tech leech is still at large.

No wonder you lost to a Pinkskin if you can't think tactically.

Let his execution be at the hands of the monster on the loose. You really can't afford to go killing powerful fighters that you need to kill horrible monsters with. That is stupid as shit.

zane. there is no mission to begin with. everything is FUBAR.

nuke the fucking ship and leave with whoever you can.

altho we have to check the outside. i think we are on a very dangerous territory.

>>290330
Yes. Execution via mortal combat with the EVEN WORSE threat.

I'd be all in favor of letting him live if he weren't so damn insistent about murdering Pike.

Too late to change your mind now. Execute him together.

Hoft: "LEAVE HER ALONE!"

Gore: "What th-"

the sergeant turns in time to see the betrayal of his most loyal soldier. He is stunned by this deep wound and the hungry predators take note of this momentary weakness. the pack of wild beasts then fall upon him and tear their once proud leader apart

Zane: "GRAAAAAAAAH!"

>>290343
Preserve his shield cores! You can throw those at the tech leech to harm it severely!

Try to salvage any equipment possible from him, gunna really need it in a bit, maybe the scanner packs or something.

Can't waste too much time, heaven knows we've wasted enough on this treachery.

Get Kimb on salvaging his power armor immediately, seems to me it's time to give Zane another suit upgrade.

>>290343
It is for the greater good that this one dies.

All I can say is fuck yeah! Colony Guard!

Okay, what we need now is to raid the armory, get some volunteers and conscript able bodied folk until we have a man for every rifle and finish sending off the shuttles until two are left, a ways apart from each other. Scan everyone to be sure everyone left is clean, get the makeshift militia to defend the shuttles and get everyone possible off the ship before getting yourselves and the militia out on the last two shuttles.

It's also almost time to rig the ship to blow, hopefully we can do this all while the shit is still wounded. Don't forget Huro or Nizk either.

Get someone to direct the scanners to determine the source of radiation.

Get all remaining bots on your position and the shuttles. Including a few medical bots.

Zane: acquire disintegration rifle.

>>290343
save anything that can explode...
and anything that's deadly...

I-I have slain my commander,
the illusion of command is gone
replaced by the cold reality
I'm am now sole commanding officer!

I suppose in a way Sergeant I passed your test after all . . .


[COLONY GUARD: END PART 1]

it is done.

now all you need is to make sure this tomb ship gets trhown into the sun

by the way, we are headed to a sun, isnt it?

>>290365
Finish evacuations, then completely destroy the ship.

>>290371
>>290366
NO! The techleech had escaped before, we need to destroy it, it's the only way to be sure!
