All elemental, spirits, paranormal critters brought in to the hive, are quite
dead. (One ally -- Claw's survived).
Let's see various pointers for those who want to write up their own view of
what happened (and I strongly encourage it):
Circuit Breaker: Matrix was a mess. At the point that Scourge lost cameras,
you lost inside access to the matrix, as the cpu got overloaded and crashed.
As a result you too were outside after that. The other deckers (until UB
deckers arrived) were non-hostile to you. After UB was there, it was pretty
hard to pick out your teammates from anyone. Dan, if you want a description of
Lady Justice and Scourge in combat, let me know.
Claw and his ally: You probably got out in the best shape of the group. You
and your ally saved the day. It also helped greatly that you sent in White
Knight.
Fenris, Akaila, and Princess - Dean, you went after what you had suggested to
me. Don't let it succeed until effectively after Crashkit is dealt with.
Kor's group -- well Brian, I'll let you handle it. Nothing too outrageous.
There are a lot of bugs out there. You might want to remember though that
insects resist spells better than most because they can go astral and fight it
off. Also, I'm sorry about not having the names of your shamans, but I by
accidently deleted the post before I registered its importance.
The reason that I focused on Blitzkrieg and Brandon's group is that the FBI had
camera's riding along in the armor of Blitzkrieg, Brandon and DE. DragonEye's
ditched what little was left of his suit immediately after getting outside.
(illusions are a good thing at times). Also, once you got to the hive
catacombs/caverns/whatever it was, the UB had no cameras posted inside it.
Gear status: This is important. All major firearms such as missile launchers,
assault rifles, submachine guns, and such were destroyed when the insects
started attacking by hand. Most likely to save yourselves, you used a ton of
grenades. Other than that, there was a lot of hand to hand combat, and such.
Armor probably should just be tossed instead of kept considering how powerful
the insect's claws are. Spells aren't too effective against them.
Now time for the disclaimer: While originally, I was very into the post, my
past week has been less than kind to me. As such, my thoughts weren't really
with the posts. I had a lot of other stuff bothering me. If it hurt the
story, I apologize.
Any comments about the posts are more than welcome. The more constructive, the
more helpful they are!
Mike
