It's my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed- not with all of you. [XCom LP III]

Hey, could one of you guys check on Seta? While you're at it, if you find ten bucks on him, he wants me to have it, so just send it up this way. The pizza guy is here and he needs a tip. Normally I'd get it, but Europe has crap pizza so I ordered some flown in from New York. The tip is a little high.

Oh yeah, kill those guys.


OOC: I love how Rank just laughs. All of his dialogue until the end of this fight should just be laughter that is getting more and more insane.

Woodroez

I hope Viv still has that stun rod; I'd hate to have to wing Rank with a laser to let him know when the fight's over.

Try it, you little tin faggot.

Just try it.

Awko

Viv using a stun rod on Rank is just gonna give him the wrong idea

Vivixenne

:winky:

also Orik might want to drop a note to your wife because after that save I'm totally throwing you an invite to the Champagne Lounge to chill with me and Mori

With Rank's weekly forays to Delaware, they're used to cleaning up much, much worse.
And hey, at least this time they won't have to hide the bodies from command.

RabidDeathMoose

This is fantastic. Like, even more than ususal.

Theidar

It appears that Dr. Green's theory to lace the HWP warheads in PCP and cocaine may actually show some benefits in the field.

The Central Core must admit it did not predict this and assumed Dr. Green was merely using the project to hoard the surplus drugs for private use.

risumon

Holy shit, I never had to do a base defense when I played X-com. Never made it that far or was on too easy a setting.

This is intense. Glad to see Rank didn't go down the moment he appeared, as much as I would have loved it from a humor standpoint.

Decomposey

Now be honest Theidar, do you really think anyone would be able to hoard drugs when Rank is around? He'd sniff that shit out like a junkie bloodhound.

Theidar

Rank had only just arrived at the base when the assault began, the Core predicted that Dr. Green's surplus would have been located within 6.2 hours. With the base under attack new predictions show a sight delay on the part of Rankenphile placing location time at 6.4 hours.

Including the variables such as length of attack, time to secure premises, and time spent by Rank screaming demands that more aliens attack so that he can do Geneva Convention breaking acts to them with his bare hands?

timspork's ghost

Please, Rank knows that aliens aren't covered by the Geneva Convention.

Why do you think there's that one room in the base that we don't talk about. We really don't like to talk about it. Really.

There's a reason I fly him to Delaware a lot.

Rankenphile

Look

if its wrong to peel the skin off of their eyeballs so I can fashion it into a condom and then rape a hole I cut in their lungs while they're still breathing, then why does it feel so right?

Imperfect

That's the PCP speakin' there, Rank.

Not that you're wrong, or anything...

Rankenphile

What do you expect? I got a gallon.

Echilda

Guess I will be up either shortly before, or shortly after the break. Guess I better start putting my affairs in order...

...I am so glad I've never looked in that broom cupboard with the biohazard signs on it.

Although, now I understand why the base has such a high turnover on janitors...

Decomposey

Look Rank, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'd never say that. I'm just saying that I expected the post battle eyeball condom lung raping to take longer than .2 hours.

Rank, don't let them trash my room or touch my stuff, please!

Mori, protect your porn collection!

Somebody get Rapid a more powerful gun. He could probably hold that hallway by himself with those sniper skills.

Sticks

No kidding. I don't think we've seen him miss once even from 2-3 screens out.

Fishman

RabidDeathMoose: They just keep coming...
Bedlam: They've seen too much of us. They know we're here. Time to change combat formation and catch them by surprise, before they start lobbing grenades down the corridor.

Burning Organ: What do you mean?
Bedlam: Time to switch positions with a heavy hitter. Theidar: come to my location and guard this junction!

Theidar: <*Affirmative*>



Bedlam: Organ, RDM: Pull out. This should be enough to cause someone to have a bad day.
RabidDeathMoose: Taking position at Theidar's old location, sir.

Rankenphile

you're putting in a robot instead of me?

god I feel like I've been fucking downsized.

When we get done with this, I'm taking the biggest fucking dump you ever saw in the science lab's coffee pot for building something to do all the good killing jobs for us

Fishman

Moriveth: Doc, how you doing? Can you make it to safety?
Dr. Monsterror: I- I think so...

Moriveth: Synth, patch up the Doc.
Synthetic Orange: No problem.



Moriveth: Viv, we could use your help over here...
Vivixenne: The coast is clear; no contacts.



I.H.N.I.W.T.R.: Confirm, I don't see anything either.
Moriveth: Good.

Synthetic Orange: Don't worry, Dr. Monsterror, you're not the worst patient I've seen. You've got a couple of bad wounds here, but nothing that can't be patched up.



Synthetic Orange: See? A little bandaging, a little alcohol, you're as good as new.
Dr. Monsterror: Thank you, I'm feeling much better.

RabidDeathMoose: Support moving to pos-



RabidDeathMoose: Whoa!

They just keep coming...

Bedlam

HE NEEDS 15 TIME UNITS! STAT!

Vivixenne: Alpha in the Access corridor! Here they come again!



**Plasma Weapon Discharge**



Vivixenne: Fuck!

Orikaeshigitae: This corridor is clear, they must be coming your way this time.



Vivixenne: Great...

Vivixenne: Dammit, it's getting away.

Orikaeshigitae: No, nothing.
I.H.N.I.W.T.R.: My scope's negative.

Vivixenne: I don't know, they've fallen back.
Moriveth: Stay sharp. Something doesn't feel right.
