OOC X-COM Think Tank (part 4)

[Taxor_the_First]

Dude Bro Time Hype

Pfffffff "character development". Who needs character development, shits for pussies and scrubs, amiright? Right guys? Right?

... if I ever say that seriously, somebody shoot me please. I'll have sold my soul or something by then no doubt.

I'm getting close to finishing the second mission of this set... RWBY music does wonders for my creative sparks. But first, the end of the beginning has to actually start up! Enjoy Operation Glass Bullet.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

And there we... go. Had to write the first half of the third part just now (since it was put off until later by myself during production), so have mercy on that bit. I also hope you enjoy the prologue and epilogue that surround that mission.

Spoiler: Glass Bullet and Light Betraying Darkness

Glass Bullet Part 2

I wonder if that sword functions as a key in very specific situations...

Glass Bullet Part 3

Neko abuse make Frost sad... Even if she is trying to kill us...

Light Betraying Darkness

And then Yakone Dies... Just Walking Dead that shit... No one's allowed to be happy on our watch!

Spoiler: Responses to Frost

Heh... Tucker did it.

Neko abuse make Frost sad... Even if she is trying to kill us...

You'll be seeing more of Bombay in the future... she might erode any sympathy you have for her.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

There isn't gonna be a proper mission briefing for the second operation, largely because the opening text tells you what you need to know for the most part... and I just wrote this beast of a solo operation, and I must post it. PREPARE YOURSELVES!

Stealth Edit: I urge you to keep reading to the end no matter what.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Spoiler: Do NOT read until after you've reached the mission Epilogue for Verity Zenith

And then Yakone Dies...

HUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Spoiler: After you've read Ambiguously Gray Future

Almost, anyway.

 

[ZombieSplitter53]

Done with the first mission, "How Leon got his Grove Back." Very entertaining. I think the time slowed chat and the cat fight were my favorite parts, and the ending brought a smile on my face. And yay for the spirit sword!

 

[Dahlexpert]

I have to say, reading Atka speech this song goes well with it.

Spoiler: VERITY ZENITH

Verity Zenith Part 1

I think I know another taskforce Yakone could join...

Verity Zenith Part 2

I just imagine all our characters from previous season who didn't join up with X-com all watching this stoically... and now... the real fight begins...

Verity Zenith Part 3

God the Andromeddon is so fucking cool...

Verity Zenith Part HOLY SHIT

FUCKING SICK... Oh man... I really did think they were going to go for that kill... All that time I was regretting having Cathy avoid giving Yakone that apology letter until she felt better... I still am though, don't get me wrong... And as one of Marx's few friends... This is only going to drive him further towards his idea of murdering all the tita- I mean... The Aliens...

All in all... This mission was easily the best one... like... Hands down... I can't wait to see the implications for this back at base, I am sure everyone will feel this one... Even Cathy... Maybe more than you might think...

Thank you, thank you. I'm surprised you liked the "big daddy", as I didn't get to go into as much detail as I would have liked with him. Wasn't the focus of the fight... we'll see more of those things later.

All credit to Marine for the first part you loved, im glad the hastily-written content with Bombay worked.

None shall publically know my thoughts! Fuck all y'all!

It is of my design, and I can tell you that you are only a quarter right.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

I have to say, reading Atka speech this song goes well with it.

Ironically, that was actually used in a fanmade trailer.

 

[Dahlexpert]

Just got done reading part4 and the epologe and this song goes great with it.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

By the way guys, in subsequent solos or collabs feel free to show reactions of your characters

Spoiler

after Yakone got impaled

as well as the change in attitude they'd have had

Spoiler

when the news spread that she was alive but in ADVENT custody.

 

[ZombieSplitter53]

A chilling end to the first part of the RP. Very good solo action there, Gem, some I can only hope to aspire to (seriously, I hate you for being so much younger then me but such a better writer.)

Assuming I can fight out of the current funk that has been slowing me down, you guys can expect a sizeable solo from me tomorrow about their responses to these two missions.

Mmmm, tasty.

You wanna know one of my secret ingredients I use to get into fight scenes? The way I keep the action flowing is to write as fast as I possibly can. The thought is that if it's written quickly, it will sound fast-paced and high-adrenaline.

I'll give it a try.

 

[DarkGemini24601]

Thank you for all the accolades though, guys. Means a lot to me. I was worried on how the reception would be for the conclusion of Phase 1, but boy did you all take it better than I thought you would.

For Phase 2, expect it to not take nearly as long as Phase 1 did (6-7 months counting the vacations and other nonsense that got in the way). It'll be more streamlined and focused now that we've agitated the populace in ADVENT-controlled areas, with the specific places that didn't get the whole picture being targeted for truth bombs and our other aims (like the aforementioned Blacksite that Seshat remembered) being interspersed in-between. Verity Zenith also hinted at another cool element that will be included if you can pick it out. (Those of you that already know, SHHH!)

Yakone's indisposed, so you'll be seeing a lot more of Tomislav stepping into her metaphorical shoes as the other MC that's still around.
