Tactical Operation Register: The Reconquest of Arsenal Pyramid

"Egg Robo, make sure this recording catches all the moments of this mission. I want to keep it as a precious...ah, cut this first part, shall we? Don't want anyone seeing this..."

The platypus in front of the camera let out a cough and cleaned his robes. When he opened his beak to talk, there was a sudden cut and the doctor was observing the camera very annoyed.

"Very funny, Egg Robo. Very funny. Anyway, let's repeat this again, shall we? And I have such a long speech prepped for this..."

With a cough, the platypus spoke.

"As I said, I am Dr.Starline, a proud member of the Eggman Empire. In June of 2XXX, Doctor Ivo Robotnik, a.k.a Doctor Eggman, has given me the duty of recovering the structure that the group of Zeti known as the Deadly Six had hijacked in their takeover of the empire, and proceeded to ruin it when they decided it was too much of a hassle. Peh. Cowards are still gonna get their just desserts. Regardless, I gathered a bunch of Egg Pawns and Egg Robos to help me take it back while Doctor ordered Metal Sonic and E-123 Omega to gather territory from the Egg City."

The camera panned to the Arsenal Pyramid.

"Back when Doctor conquered the world, this place was one of the pillars from which he launched his world conquest, spewing more Badniks than any measly factory could hope to. Sonic and that blasted Rookie blasted it to smithereens, and then Neo Metal Sonic proceeded to rebuild it when the Shattering happened, the Zeti then using it to generate their troops. Today, I return it to it's rightful owner...but it doesn't it will be easy. Those Zeti, brutes as may be, are spiteful brutes, and demonstrated abilities that are, to say, very curious..."

He picked a bunch of dirt, it going through his fingers.

"I am not a believer in the mystical arts but...whatever was done with this place, it changed it. Part of me feels ill just from being here. I'm sure Doctor will eventually solve it, naturally, but I just can't help but wonder how they did this. So I will try to be as swift as possible here."

He put up a map.

"I got a scheme from Arsenal Pyramid from the archives. There's the possibility of being traps on the way there, so I will use the Warp Topaz to get there from top and try to start from there."

A portal opened.

"Mission is about to begin, Doctor Starline, out."


"Starline in. Shit, why I had to be right this one time?!"

He ducked over a blast of energy going over his head. An Egg Robo and he pointed guns and fired, the sound of an explosion going off in the background.

"Alright, that seemed to be the last of the E-1000s...no losses yet, pretty good," the Platypus had a smirk in his face. "Alright, things are even worse than I expected. I don't know if there are any rogue stealth units nearby, so a quick recap."

With a cough, the frazzled platypus began his story.

"So, I got in the command room. The place was barely operating, mostly being defenses and the camera fed. I tried to patch up the fed for communications. However, there seems to be jamming devices in the place. Probably somewhere outside. I tried to at least see if I could connect the network to send some sort of signal to Sage, but this network seems to be of the closed type - which wasn't in the schemes," the platypus curses. "Of all things for that brute to wisen up, did it have to be on cybersecurity?! Probably some work he forced Thorndyke to make. But that's not even the worst part of the assignment."

An Egg Pawn dropped the head of a Caterkiller on the ground.

"Firstly, those brutes let out a few Rogue Badniks in the region. I'm unsure if Sage's calling even reached them, but the fact that a lot of Super Badniks are guarding these - SHADOW ANDROID!"

A flurry of fire. Starline has to duck to avoid a punch to the face before Eggpawns dogpile the rogue Badnik and shoot it down.

"Good grief...so, Super Badniks are sprawling everywhere. Very unfriendly. But that's not the worst part. In the fed, on the center of the factory...the cameras showed a bomb. Would say the size of a standard-model Egg Mobile, nested on a pile of explosives. Mental calculations say it would crumble the foundation of the factory and completely destroy it. The factory itself is not too badly damaged, I think the Zeti thought it would be too much of a hassle to burn it down and were just expecting for some sucker to try their luck in turning it on and watch as it went down in flames. Guess they never accounted for someone like me to teleport and see the trap. Tough luck."

He polished his Egg Gun.

"I have to neutralize the bomb before I disable the jammers, but that's also the part most well-guarded of the factory. It's basically filled to the brim with Egg Hammers, there are Toxomisters turning places of the factory in No Man Lands and I saw some Big Icedus roaming around. Seems like these next few hours are gonna be full of fighting," a sound echoed. "I think I'm hearing some fliers. Starline, out."

"Eat shit, you treacherous-!" the platypus said, blasting an enemy Egg Robo on the face.

"He can't pass through these halls! Focus fire on the Hammers!"

"...how did these fools managed to get fresh coffee beans in this region?" he wondered, looking at the cup of joe he had, sipping it...before spitting it out. "Oh, that's why. Water sucks ass. Why even have a coffee machine here, this place is mostly - HOLY SHIT-!"

The platypus attempted to clean some marks of coffee from his clothes, the enemy machine nothing but scrap on the floor.

"So, it seems that Chuck fellow is a devious one. Abusing of someone's love for coffee like that should be illegal..."

"Keep eyes open! Hotaru Hi-Watt to my left and - MEGA CHOPPER FROM ABOVE FUCK FUCK FUCK-"

"...alright, last one," the doctor said. "Starline up. Last rogue Badnik was eliminated. Arsenal Pyramid is far more labyrinthic from the inside the schemes showed..." he cracked his neck. "Ugh. So much pain I haven't felt sore like this since my college days. But we are here for the last obstacle."

He looked at the suspended bomb, enormous.

Egg Robos were hovering over the explosive, held by four long cables, while Egg Pawns cleared the debris.

"So...a single glance tells me this thing is pretty much designed to blast anyone that tries to disarm it to kingdom come. It has to be suspended by wires just because of that. Not the type of thing you would want to keep in a tactical location, but absolutely what you would want to deny resources...yet again, they couldn't prepare for me."

Aiming his glove with the Warp Topaz, a large portal opened beneath the bomb.

"Egg Robos, shoot the wires!"

The machines obeyed, hitting the wires as the dangerous explosive fell into the portal.

A few seconds later, a large wave of water passed through, Starline barely stepping away on time as he closed the portal.

"Knew sparing energy for this teleport would pay off..." he grumbled more to himself. "I dropped the bomb in the waters of a nowhere beach I saw in my trips. Shouldn't cause too many issues for anyone...especially the doctor. Now the Egg Pawns are gonna find the jammers and I'll be able to communicate with Eggman to report my success. The Egg Robos meanwhile will fix whatever was broken and we should be able to put it back up."

He gave a grin.

"Ah...a task worth of me, indeed..."

The video ended with him falling flat with the back on the ground.

"Owch...I'm almost missing being shot..."

Tactical Operation Register: The Reconquest of Arsenal Pyramid

Heh. Well done Starline. Poor luck aside he really is good at what he does.

...His luck just absolutely sucks.
 
In case gonna apply My +5 to the upgrading action on Rusty and another +5 I think I still have unused for the heart action, dunno if I still have that so if QM's can correct me.
 
No good slackers

Commander Walters was not having a good time, or he could say G.U.N in general was not having a good time. The internal conflict just kept on growing with each action they took: the too soft approach they took with the alliance with the Restoration, the new magic user they hired (he did not trust them at all), the mess Zavok left behind and failure to take advantage of it forcing them to be surrounded on all sides by the Restoration and the truth behind the Black Arms.

But no, the worst decision made was Towers approaching Eggman. He should have listened to that head scientist but the damage is done. To think that the Doctor Ivo Robotnik he knew was one of the "better one's" and not like the one's he heard about from the other members (some of the stories they told still make him feel sick).

And so here he was leaning against a wall trying to calm his headache. Oh how he missed the comfort of his old home, just taking a seat on his chair, putting one of his favorite movies and just relax. Many of the members from his world we're feeling the same way, and the one's from other worlds could really use some relaxation as well.

"Hehehe"
He jolted and looked around before sighing "I really need to get more rest if I got to the point I start hearing voices." He even picked this hallway because it was one of the least travelled one's.
"Huuhhuuhu"
There it was again! This time he carefully inspected everything around him and saw that something was wrong with the wall he was leaning against. After a close examination he realised it's a hidden door disguised like the wall! Why was this here! Carefully he leaned in close and listened.
"I got the snacks and drinks!"
"I got the entrainment!"
"In our secret closet!"
"You know what that means!"
"B-B-B-BR-BR-BREAK TIME WHOOOOOAAAA!"


If anyone could see commander Walters right now they would remark that his face was red like a tomato. Because he knew exactly who was behind the door MARCO and RONALD the two most worthless living beings he had the displeasure of knowing in his entire career. Those two would rather use what little brain and skills they had to find the best way to laze around rather than do their jobs. And the worst part is THEY SUCCEDED! No matter what job he gave them or how much surveillance he put on them, they somehow always managed to do the minimum needed to keep they're jobs and avoid any watchful eyes on them so they could slip away and do anything they wanted. In simple terms Walters HATED THEM.

As he stood in the hallway trying to calm down, he realised something. They built this secret closet without authorization and by using the limited resources they had while also not doing they're job's, HE FINALLY CAUGHT THEM. If he was a lesser man Walters would smile so wide others would think he was the Grinch, but he was the bigger man so he would not do that. He will however KICK THE DOOR OPEN!
"CRASH!!!"

W: "MARCO AND RONALD!!!"
M: "Uh oh..."
R: "Busted!"
W: "YOU TWO ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST WORTHLESS, POINTLESS AND WORST HUMAN BEIGNS I HAD TO EVER WORK WITH!!! EVEN IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS THE TWO OF YOU CAN'T FOCUS ON YOUR JOB'S, INSTEAD YOU'D RATHER WASTE YOUR TIME ON SLACKING RATHER THEN HELPING YOUR COWORKERS!!! WELL THIS ENDS NOW BECAUSE YOU'RE FIR-
"Imperial march starts playing"

But then he stopped and looked behind the two slackers. On the TV is that... Star Wars? He walked past them and yes it was Star Wars! As he looked around the closet ( he couldn't believe those two made a closet so well hidden and so large just to laze around!) he saw even more movies! Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Home Alone and many more! And next he saw video games? He didn't care about those but the movies! He could, he and many others could finally relax again!

W: "Haha haha hahaha! I can't believe it, for once in your lives your laziness was finally helpfull! Haha haha...
M: "Okay, I guess we're heroes right!"
R: "Those than mean we get to keep our job's!"
w: ...aha ha, haaaa, no you're still fired. I will also confiscate everything in this closet."
M: "Hey! This isn't fair!"
R: "Yeah what gives you the right to..."
Walters pulled out his gun.
M: "Actually you make a very compelling argument."
R: "Uh yeah, yeah, ...., can we at leas keep our game console ?"

Backup was called and the two idiots have been escorted out. Normally Walters wouldn't let people who knew any information about they're operations leave so easily, but in this case those two spent every meeting and debriefing either sleeping with the eyes open or with they're heads in the clouds. He was not worried about them leaking anything and they were not worth neither the bullets, nor the time and food they would spend on them (that zeti was already taking too much), so he let them go.
He had more pressing matters "What are you all waiting for! A kiss on the check? Get to work on organising these movies!" Finally, he at last found some way to relax for him and the others.

A few hours later two figures are seen walking around Green Hill
M: "Uhhhh this blows man! How did he even find our secret spot?"
R: "Well whatever, that ship was sinking anyway, so where should we try our luck , the Restoration?"
M: ".......NO."
R: "What? Why?"
M: "I can't go there, I don't want to talk about it."
R: "Oh wait is it because of what you did whit...
M: "I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!"
R: .... Fine fine! Geez relax man. Hmm let me think. Oh right! How about Eggman!"
M: "I don't know man isn't he like evil."
R: "Yeah he is... but not as evil as the rest of the guys surrounding us."
M: "Hmm let me think: World War two like guys, battle hungry killer robot lady, magical space conqueror and the Devil..... on second thought yeah he's the lesser evil. But what about that Knux guy?"
R: :"Unless you grow wings and fly us to that island, there's no way we get there. Also from what I heard sleeping there is no different from just sleeping on mud, with how bad he is at building houses."
M: "Good point. But how are we gonna convince him to hire us?"
R: "I got uhh a rubber ducky and uhh a trucker hat?"
M: "I got some breath mint's and twenty buck's? Hmm wait I got it! Guy is not a stick in the mud, he likes singing and dancing doesn't he? He knows how to have fun right!"
R: "You're right! And what do we do best?"
Both: "WE KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN! WHHHHOOOAAAA! DOCTOR EGGMAN HERE WE COME!"
And so the two left to try they're luck with the world's most brilliant and evil scientist. Will they impress the doctor and get a job or be eliminated by one of Eggman's minions for annoying him? Only time will tell.


An: This started because of a convo on discord about movies, then I thought of a slacker smuggling movies for himself then though slacker , slacker, slackers and it evolved into this. Hope you guys enjoyed it.

Imperials: "The animal men have booby trapped the entire environment somehow! Dear God, Johann was flung into the air fifty feet! Tell command we need reinforcements!"

Eggman:"Hohohoho! Behold, with these traps you foolish Imperials will never reach my base!"
Imperial:"Scoundrel! You've turned the land into crazy loops and massive mountains to make things impassable! What kind of monster bends nature to his will like this?"
Eggman:"... I just added spikes, flamethrowers, and some pitfalls to put you guys into ambushes. Are you saying that this stuff is hard for you? If you guys call this stuff hard, I can't help but feel a bit embarrassed I went to all the trouble."
