OMG I'm so healous of the away team for this mission. The fight against the Seeker is a veritable gold mine of a fight for writing. I can see it playing out remarkably like the infamous minigun scene from Predator, with our resident Lamarque playing the roll of Jesse Ventura.
The seeker dodging between shelves, going in and out of cloak, striking out with it's tentacles always a second too late, before finally, they huddle up as the room goes quiet, expecting the seeker, when someone goes "CHEN GET DOWN!" He hits the floor right as a hail of bullets fill the space he was in.
And the uber tense hunt for the last one, where after catching a brief glimpse of the seeker outside, Lamarque dashed outside, manages to catch the Seeker by one tentacle, and drags it toward him as it tries to cloak again, getting into a fist fight with it, like trying to wrangle a squid, before managing to pin it under one knee, as a tentacle wraps around his neck, he manages to trigger the Fist, plowing it into the ground, and breaking the concrete underneath. A few more punches and the tentacle falls limp and he stumbles away, realizing that even though he is wrapped in a metal shell, he it still mortal in all the most vulnerable of ways.
::Shivers:: Man, i am so jealous.
Also, Portent. Fucking called it.
No way. He hasn't even gotten to Portent yet. I barely survived that one, and I'm on classic. If there would be any casualties, that would be the mission it happened in.
