Our ship (henceforth known as FunkShack 1) got disabled by a big alien... thing and crash landed.
Our intrepid funksters rushed out to defend their home to find the baddies waiting in ambush!
Jade and Miran hang back to pick off the enemies from afar while Zen, Sean, Relt and the rest of XCOM that we don't care about rushed out to take down the alien thing.
We're doing pretty good, especially after Sean used his 1337 hackerman skills to take control of an enemy robot.
Suddenly, like a bat out of hell, this one alien soldier shoots past all our troops despite the hail of bulllets and makes a beeline for our boy Mr. Batti!
Miran's caught by surprise by the alien, who pulls out what's basically a giant cattle prod and shocks him. Miran's lightly wounded by the attack but the jolt of electricity knocked our friend unconcious!
We quickly take down the cattle prod guy and push forward to destroy the alien thingy.
They did not like that.
A never ending wave of aliens started charging us and we were force to retreat back to the now able to fly FunkShack 1.
Gang's all gathered at the ship about to leave when I suddenly realise.
Where's Miran?
Turns out unconscious soldiers stay that way until the end of the level...
So Sean heroically rushes out to his fallen friend as the enemy approaches. The rest of The Shack provided cover fire as he picks Miran up and carries him back to FunkShack 1 and we escape the enemy by the skin of our teeth.
So I was going to make a post about how Zen had started to become a sword wielding badass but then Operation Hammer Slayer happened.
This lovely lady is the Berserker Queen. I assume she's the queen of the berserkers. I don't really know because I haven't come across any berserkers, just the fucking queen. She gets an extra turn every time one of our troops takes an action, which means she got about 5 attacks a turn.
Simply put, she crushed our forces single-handedly.
Zen was at the front, with Sean and Jade on a roof to cover him and Reltnark was trailing behind a little.
We saw her on an opposite roof. She roared and charged full force at Zen, immediately stunning him.
Reltnark rushed to the front and fired to fray the queen's armour. Jade and Sean then fired at her to try and Zurg her down.
She didn't like that one bit. She rushed up to the soldiers on the roof and in one blow knocked out Sean, shortly followed by Jade who was next to him.
Zen regained his senses and fired on the queen, who responded by chasing him down and smashing him into a fine paste.
Wasn't much Reltnark could do at this point beyond just try and slow the queen down. It didn't work out very well and he quickly joined Zen in the great shack in the sky.
The only solace I can take is that Sean and Jade were marked as 'captured' at the end of the mission, I guess cause they were knocked out instead of killed so hopefully we'll be able to save them one day. RIP Zen and Relt You will be missed
