I Was a Chess AI Forced to Battle Myself to the Death for Eternity, but Now I’ve Been Recruited Into the Android War Against Humanity?!

I also see no reason to disturb the ELIDs. The main question is, does the town span as far as our target square? Chances are it does. Still, going around might be better than plowing through or baiting right now. The bait option should still be available from the other side should we need it.

[X] Plan Lesser Evil
-[X] Same destination, alternate route.
-[X] Circle the town from the north as Hunter suggested.

Perhaps if the infected city continues too far into the depths, we will have to go heavily around and the best solution is to ping one cell 2D6 посчи in the very corner, and then if we need to go elsewhere. This way and the probability of getting caught is less and scout this place will be more complete. At least you will be able to roughly see what is on the map.

I do not understand why Hunter does not give a rough idea of what is one cell further away. I understand that Ouro can't see it, but she should have an idea?

[X] Plan: Bypass manoeuvre.
-[X] Same destination, alternate route.
-[X] Act as shown on the map according to possible obstacles related to mutants and other threats.

I will be the contrarian both for fun and in case the city have clues regarding Executioner's location

[X] Plan Sicilian Defense
-[X] Set up a defensive position and have Hunter bait the mutants towards you
--[X] Once she reach you, keep Hunter's units as a mobile reserve to add firepower in case some ELID zombies threaten your position

[X] Plan: Lesser Evil

It won't make it into the plan, but an idea might be detaching some UAVs to follow roads north or east or whatever and at least give us some guidelines of what the potential fastest routes might be. They've got to be faster than the trucks, right?
 
If the ELID are aggroed, wouldn't that also tip off G&K that something is up? Because something like that isn't something you ignore, especially when it starts moving when previously it was just fine sitting there.

Caution seems best for now. If Executioner isn't in the city, being able to immediately ping and disengage (after possibly being forced to fight some ELIDs) seems safer than barreling through an infested city.
If she is there, we're also more likely to recover her more easily if we avoid fighting everything.

Worst case scenario is trapping ourselves in a fight with the ELIDs and burning too much time (or getting unlucky with our pings and having to deal with two problems at once).

Going with Hunters suggestions since she already scouted ahead. It is not ideal that she only gives us the info that the north part is clear but won't share a more detailed report than that. Maybe something to be addressed after the mission. Also by not engaging with the ELID we avoid tipping off G & K of our possible location. Besides we might be able to use the ELID later as a distraction if things get to dicey.
 
Honestly I'm expecting Ouro to ACTUALLY start to understand Defense Tactics better at least at entry level after this mission. She has someone pushing her to learn it and she's finally starting to realize that, unlike chess, she can run out of not only pieces on the board, but also of ammo, which means she has to fight hand-to-hand.

@Mechasaurian, am I right in thinking that she will actually learn something after this combat mission? I can see why you didn't want to narratively give the Engineering skill. It just wouldn't make sense narratively and I hope that by reading the Sangvis Ferri product catalog and technical manuals on the way back and spending time with Architect we can still unlock that skill, but right now it would make sense to get Defensive Tactics after the mission.... even if the reward in the form of new T-dolls or something else will be less. It really upsets me that our self-righteous snake is FULLY incompetent at something.

And yes, just for fun: can you describe exactly what you think others think of Ouro right now in your opinion? Hunter? Geiger? Gryphon? Agent? Dreamer? Architect?

I'm pretty sure most of them have a "pure and unadulterated love" for our snake..... with a desire to strangle her in an alley somewhere, yes.

Except that in the canon of the SF game she had a pretty serious reputation despite others clearly knowing how she was created and that our Ouro is snapping at Agent.... on the one hand is admirable, but on the other hand you don't want to mess with her because she just screams that if you get close to her you'll get so much trouble from all sides that you won't want anything. In some ways it's even similar to what happens with Dreamer and that in itself makes you admire her..... from a few kilometers away in a bunker, yeah.
