srwuga_mods1. [It's time to take care of Waechter and destroy the source of the infection. White Chalice and allies are approaching the space colony... But the closer they come, the more apparent it becomes just to what extent the infection has affected it. A massive structure is in the colony's place, formed from infected battleships, the colony itself as well as the asteroid that the colony had impacted against. Immense patches resembling scabs and rotting flesh are scattered across of it, equally as tough as the seemingly mechanical sections, massive and twisted towers punch through several sections and stabbed out towards the stars, openings of flesh and metal seem to add to the swarms of infected war machines that guard their “hive” tenaciously. And, when the allies get close, a telepathic voice suddenly speaks in their heads...]
Pitiful little lifeforms! Your actions are futile... What you perceive as space and time are just limitations of your primitive senses. I am a being that transcends these concepts. I am the anathema to all life! No matter how hard your tiny insect limbs try to stop me, you cannot succeed. Even if you delay me, your actions will only bring more suffering to you, and doom the children of your children. In a war of attrition, life always ultimately loses... And after you're all gone, I shall fall asleep, and when life reappears I shall feast upon it again!
You cannot stop me. Even if you delay me, you have already lost...
[The voice stops, but the psychic presence is still there. And the gigantic army of Infected mecha moves forward, attacking with twisted limbs, acidic blood and fleshy projectiles as well as more conventional weaponry! This is not going to be an easy battle, but a drawn out war of attrition. Even the most powerful robot, even the most skilled pilot are going to get worn down over time by the huge numbers of enemies...]
2. [It's been a long and hard battle, and the Infected forces show no signs of wearing down. There's simply too many of them...]
That's enough. We won't beat this enemy in a prolonged battle. All forces, retreat! We'll establish a perimeter around Waechter and think of another solution! For now, pull back and don't let any Infected cross the perimeter's line!
3. [Some time after the retreat.]
I think we've got it. Based on analyzing the tissue samples from Infected machines and blood from Luger Amwulf, our combined science teams reached two possible solutions. Neither of them will be easy, however...
The first solution is to create a bioweapon that will destroy the biocircuitry forming the bodies of the Infected. We should be able to do it, but in order to develop it, all or most of the Infected tissues from Luger's body will be required. In other words, his chance of surviving this is pretty much zero. His permission is necessary if we want to go with this solution, of course.
Furthermore, developing the bioweapon will take time. It's very likely that before we're done, the Infected will launch a focused attack against the parimeter. If that happens, we'll have to hold them off until the weapon is ready.
You don't like this solution, do you? I know most of you well enough to know that's the case.
The second solution is even more dangerous. Using the collected samples, we should be able to create a system that will temporarily make our forces invisible to the Infected. A small team will use this system to sneak into Waechter, set up a nuclear charge inside, and quickly leave. Then we nuke the colony. With the source of the infection destroyed, all of the Infected activity should cease.
This solution has a much higher chance to fail than the other one. We'll probably manage to shield only several machines, and there's no guarantee how long the system will last before the Infected find out. It's likely the team will have to fight its way out. It's possible this will be a suicide mission.
The final decision belongs to me, Captain Smith and Bian Zoldark, but I want to hear opinions. Choose.
