Hatchling Quest (Worm/Metroid)

Reader mode
Well well an update! How interesting!

Mhmm

Mhmm...

Welp the dice hated us pretty badly, but Samus gave no fucks and tore them to pieces anyway.

Hmm, near full shields it seems. Empty Missiles though, I'm sure that's going to be an issu-

Its defenses, while capable of deflecting most infantry grade beam weapons, are relatively weak to infantry grade missile systems and anti-vehicle weaponry. Most notably its electronic systems create incredible heat, especially around its weapon systems and are capable of easily being overloaded, severely damaging the craft in the process. This has resulted in thinner armour at these sections in an attempt to regulate the heat produced that can easily be identified with most thermal detection systems. This thinner armour is still highly resistant to most beam weapons but vulnerable to missiles. Weapons capable of phasing through these armour sections though and containing an electrical component may be capable of severely damaging the craft by overloading the electronic systems.

-es... Right exactly. Well we can still use our wave beam on it seems. Charged I think has the most electrical component?

These flaws have resulted in the craft being mostly phased out at the current time. Those still in service have been retrofitted with two Tribeam cannons, a modified "Vigilance" class turret and a multi-missile system all intended to deal solely with ground targets. This unit in particular has received an upgraded detection system that allows the Pilot to detect Parahumans and their abilities.

Interesting. It's is VERY focused on shooting at ground targets. I wonder how well it will do against Samus in the air. Remember, Samus can 'jump real good'. Basicly fly. I know at least she has her spin jump thing, but I faintly remember her jumping off mid air in the thread.

Special Note: Thermal Visor has limited visual range. Lock on for weakpoints will only become available at close range.

Either way I propose fighting it mid air at close range to find it's weak points with the Thermal Visor and wreck it's shit.

She wasn't spinning! :V

ImmortalsBlade said:
"NO!" You scream, and without thinking you reach towards her through your suit. For a moment you connect, and you see her as she is, a living being composed of code and something else, something more.

Your heart clenches and even though you know she can restore from backup, even though you know the risk in placing her inside of it, your suit activates several programs that transfer her into your ship, violently tearing her from the organic-computer system in her Dragonsuit and shoving her into your ships own biotech computer where she plunges into the ocean of data contained within and seemingly... unwinds. Fear overrides reason, and you panic. Had you just destroyed your friend? Was she so incompatible with Chozo systems that you had killed her?!

Huh... Did we just psychically connect to a non organic... and then pull it into our suit and then our ship's computer. This is.. wow. So there is now possibly two Dragons. And one is in a bullshit CHOZO level computer. Yep she's going to unwind in all that extra space and processing power boyos. And I BET Saint (if he exists? I can't remember this thread canon) if he exists has no backdoor into Adam... er Dragon-Ship self.

Yes, Dragon is now Samus's Ship AI Computer companion, and not shitty Adam. Metroid OtherM AVERTED.

So a Plan. Hmm.

Well to continue on our previous theme of justice from above...

Still Space Pirates, still killing a bunch of people who had Samus's back, seems be enough to touch the rage button IMO.

Meh, She considers the PRT her friends doesn't she? Maybe not all of them personally but still. And PRT have to be on site at the Protectorate hq I think. The heroes at least are all here today thankfully.

I'd consider them still her 'friends'... Maybe tone it down to allies? *Shrug*.

True that. Honestly just there being living Space Pirates is enough for that button I think. It has a hair trigger that 'button'.
Also this interesting bit on the front page, trying to see if IB had said updated any of the entries. Nope, nothing yet but this mention of Dragon was interesting. Reflective of what happened today yes?

Morphology: Dragon
Artificial Intelligence based in Vancouver.
​
Regarded by many as the greatest Tinker located on Earth Bet Dragon is believed to be an agoraphobic young woman from Newfoundland, this image cultivated by Dragon. The actual entity known as Dragon is housed in several server's located in her main facility. Multiple multidimensional phenomenon is located in her code and hardware however, suggesting reliance on Tinker Technology to function. Dragon has several severe limitations placed on her, crippling her capabilities and forcing her to directly upload herself into her "Dragon Suits" when engaging in direct combat.

Note: Direct tampering with code will likely result in permanent damage to the AI. Suggest transference to less primitive hardware and operating systems.

Note what I highlighted... We JUST did that!

So very possibly we can now tramper with her code to remove shackles? Possibly?

[x] plan kite

Lure enemy dropship towards that pile of our friends (that are running out of targets to shoot at with their brand new power armor suits) using Space jumps to stay airborne. Fire charged shots into its weak points and anything else that looks like it might drop missiles along the way.

Hmm.. This isn't a bad point. They do have plenty of missiles left probably... but their guns would be useless. And they are on the ground mostly. And the ship is designed to be anti parahuman with it's parahuman scanner that tells them their abilities and assume best counter measures to take them out.

Might have to add this into my vote if anyone else agrees.

As a secondary note, your plan isn't a plan unless you actually vote for actions there 3characterslong

It's sitting comfortably at 30,000 feet.

Holy shit, that's... Pretty damn high! I don't think we're going to have any allies helping us on that one then...

Damn Samus has some good vision, and shit they have great aiming sensors to get close misses at us from that altitude. Then again space ships.

So at 30k feet, that's Airplane cruising altitude. 5.70~ miles from the ground.

Yeah our only real chance is going up to meet them, or riding our spaceship as a surfboard.
 
Yah when I heard drop ship I thought it was like landing to drop pirates. I didn't realize it could just release kihunters from the ionosphere. That changes things significantly.

I guess someone post plan surfboard and I will change my vote to that.

How long would it take us to space jump up there?

...Not that it would be a good idea without the screw attack or shinespark, but that's not the point.

I forget, do we or don't we have the screw attack already? I thought we did since I have a vague memory of spinning jump thru targets and annihilating them that way. Then again I might got it confused with another fic.

Well... Shit. I assume it's going to come at us a bit.

Other than that.... Vista shanninigans are needed. Mayhap we should get some assistance from home base/feds. Vista could make our space jump journey very short... both ways.

That or check on our ship/dragon and see how she is doing.
 
[X] Blow up some cars for the scrap
[X] once you have enough missiles, rush into close range and shove missiles down those weakpoints.
 
Maybe use the spaceship to get close then jump out and attack while the ship runs distraction with its new Dragon A.I. Also the ship would restock our rockets as well.

This is why I basically ignore that line in Paper Jam.

You know, the line where Bowser plans for the Mario Bros is, and I quote:

"We're going to trap you in this book!
And then we're gonna throw the book into the garbage...
AND LIGHT THE GARBAGE ON FIRE! BWAHAHA!"
...That way, we'll never see you and your stupid mustaches ever again!"

You know, the book that contains the entire Paper Mario Multiverse?

I GUESS the book might have been completely empty, or have simply been a portal, but I still REALLY hate that line.
 
Hmmm... How about these changes to my plan?

... Possible changes? It's kinda a bit much, but apparently it's strongly being told that space boots by themselves is a bad job. I could edit them in, but wanted to throw it out there first.

Also I think it's strongly hinted we should do SOMETHING about Dragon, at the very least try to communicate with our ship!Dragon.

Maybe I'm just used to huge PMAS votes? :)

True, I guess we will see what he will say then. Though he won't say if it's good or not, just if it's mechanically bad I suppose. Then again he didn't say space boot jumping our way was bad either before his 30k mention or someone asked about it. *Shrug*

I'll be asleep soon so won't be changing it for quite a few hours then.

Dragon is either going to get a massive power, or her death will be used to fuel Samus's growth further into an angsty teenager that killed her best friend on accident.

Either way, I suspect dragon rolled poorly.

-edit-

I mean a regular friend not best. Taylor is bestie.

She can have twelve best friends if she wants.
 
Where the hell is the Triumvirate? Alien invasion is an S class threat. Just have Alexandria fly through the ship a few times.
