Eh, better than someone we like getting blown up. Which is very likely, given that we're going after a Tinker in her lair.

We have no clue where she has all of her bombs. Or what there affects are. If we accidentally set them off a shit ton of people are probably gonna die.

Going in personally doesn't change any of that. Unless we lure her out, shit is gonna explode.

Completely worth it
Sorry when I say everything in it, I meant will the copied bombs work?
Also when will you let us figure out who the Recursion Field can and can't target?

Nevermind, Dragon's a helicopter now.

No, the bombs won't work. Recursion Field is… Hmm… It's like taking a one-second video, removing everything that has obviously moved from the start to the finish, and making a model of what is stationary.
Dragon would have a very hard time fighting from within, don't you think? Considering her current weapons are cannons mounted on the side of a helicopter-sized Tinkership?

OMFG.Nope. I'm done. If you can't find it by now, it's not my fault. I've made the FAQ as idiot-proof as I possibly can.

Wait, frick, I thought that her power armor drones were available. Nevermind then.

No, the drones she has on the Sybaris are the same scout drones as Tim modified and showed off in 9.11. Footlong cameras with rotors for propulsion. She doesn't have pilotable power armor.
That's perfect. We can scan the whole base for anything thats not normal and find where all the bombs are first. And we can figure out the paths to avoid them when we are leaving.
Recursion field. Scan for bombs or anything out of the ordinary. We can take our time since Recursion field means we don't have to worry about bombs going off.

That's a pity, being able to pull tinkertech into the RF would be a hell of a way to clip Baka-chan's wings.
Okay, so one last technical question on RF: obviously we've got a space-warper or similar effect going on in the basement[*], does RF compensate for that or would things get weird if we set up the field and moved in?
[*] Here's your creepy thought for the day: Coil somehow got hold of Vista's original arm and has been using it to maintain the warp. Yes, I know that's not how powers work in Worm, shut up.

Clones are a thing, man. Nega Vista could very well be down there.

If I got it right, I think what was going on there was that the basement blueprints didn't match the amount of people Vista thinks are there. If so, it could just have been modified with regular tools.
I hadn't thought that it could've been space warped, though.

RF would compensate for it. Not perfectly, but nothing that would cause any problems for Taylor et al.
It's a little of both.
But at the same time, we don't know what they actually do. Why risk activating incredibly dangerous bombs by being lazy?

To be honest, it seems highly probable that they'll blow up anyways. Even if we stick Bakuda in a our little dimensional pocket, wouldn't that just kick off her safeguards? No Bakuda, no 'don't blow up signal'.
I suppose she could have set it up differently, but....

Except that Bakuda wouldn't get caught in RF. Deploying it would simply allow Taylor and Co. to scout the building unimpeded/catch her by surprise.

With how Bakuda is employed by Coil and has been pretty silent all things considered... Are you sure she isn't already sitting on a nuke or something?

This is very preliminary and potentially very stupid, but let's start planning.
[] Operation High and Low
-[] Deploy the Recursion Field and scout the entire building, not just the basement. We're looking for the workshop, Bakuda's most likely location, traps and escape routes.
--[] If by some chance Coil and/or Bakuda have cape backup that gets caught by the Recursion Field, take them down.
-[] Ranged combatants cover the building and as many exits as possible.
-[] Close-quarters combatants preposition in wherever we think Bakuda is.
-[] Drop the Recursion Field and let hilarity ensue.
--[] Outside team goes loud, tries to flush or kite the goon squad away from the building.
--[] Inside team takes Bakuda fast and hard. Secure the target and then teleport out.
-[] Once we have Bakuda contained, call the Protectorate and start rifling through her shit.
The idea is to make this as simple as possible to reduce the ways we can fuck ourselves. The goal is Bakuda: we figure out where she is, jump her, stun her, bind her, port her out. Give her as little time to react as possible and if RNGesus is kind we can wrap her nonsense up and be ready to pivot on Calvert.

Those can't all be mercs; I bet Bakuda's got some "test subjects" down there she's implanted bombs into. I wonder if there have been a rash of missing persons cases...

I like this, and I don't think anything would go too horribly wrong with this plan.
