All leave is cancelled.At approximately 0429 hours EST 17 September 2029, a CODE 6-5 EMERGENCY ALERT was triggered @ Weyland Yutani Reseach Station Kerguelen islands (48.5836344 S, 69.6944695 E)Initial reports suggest (CLASSIFIED - Please sign into securelink(tm) account to sign NDA and access relevant information) to be the aggressors. Expect at least 5-10 on site.- Collect accurate casualty count- Eliminate all research subjects- Eliminate all Aggressors>ITT: Assemble your team, loadouts and strategy for containment.

>>64887911If they just used drones and combat synths xenomorphs would be a total non-issue.The plot-armored wank the bugs get, especially in crossovers, is lame as hell.

I want Mumbai, Perth and Durban Stations to be on immediate ready status as main ports. All Ops Officers will recieve further instructions from Deputy Ops desk within the hour. I'm cc'ing logi ops so they know that I'm expecting them to start sending as many vessels and supplies as possible to these three ports. I'm also ordering WYGeo to Start satellite recon of the entire island starting with the research site and working its way out. All WY vessels in the area will begin a circular containment pattern 20 clicks from the island. Update reports will be sent every hour. I want this done clean and I want it done professionally.Expect further updates soonBen Urquhart, Deputy Ops
>>64887911>>64887936Drones and synths are expensive though.
>>64888002Losing your super secret black site is even more expensive.
Weyland Yutani doesn't care about its employees, fuck going to any facility and I'm bugging out off-planet and starting over.

>>64887908>Assemble your team, loadouts and strategy for containment.Sealed suits with integrated motion sensors and RCS thrusters2x flamers, 5x AP rifles, incindiary and fragmentation grenades1x breaching tool/plasma cutterBreach, disable life support, withdraw. High initial buy-in and civilian casualty rate, but very safe and cost efficient
>>64887908OPFOR SALUTE:Size: 5–10 aggressorsActivity: Escape and evasion, hunting, nestingLocation: Kerguelen Islands: high-moisture, low-temperature, mountainous and isolatedUniform: Constant mucous secretions, highly acidic blood and silicon-based exoskeletons.Time: The response must be launched within 24 hours to prevent the aggressors from entering hive stage.Equipment: The facility likely has high-voltage power grids and narrow maintenance corridors. Machinery may conceal thermal signatures.OPFOR Centers of gravity: hive queen (strategic), stalking and evasion (tactical), harvesting of enemy combatants (operational)OPFOR key weakness: fire OPFOR intent: terraform island into hive, resist threats to hive, spread beyond island.Other: OPFOR is difficult to identify through thermal sensors. OPFOR is able to navigate inner spaces of facility in 3D (vents, shafts, etc).BLUFOR:Intent: - Collect accurate casualty count, - Eliminate all research subjects, - Eliminate all AggressorsAdditional: prevent spread of xenomorphs outside the islandNotably: no directive to preserve research; total force authorized if need beCenter of gravity: sensor supremacy and area denial, logistical abundanceKey capability: thermobaric and fire based weaponsKey weakness: troops can be harvested by enemy to boost his numbers
>>64888981PLAN: Establish quarantine perimeter around island. Permanent UAV overwatch covering every foot of the island. Gunships on standby to seek and destroy aggressors if spotted outdoors. Site schematics will be consulted to identify all exits and infrastructure that may provide movement avenues to the enemy. Ground forces will be staged on an offshore FOB. Materiel movement is one directional from FOB to island but before anything can return, it must first be decontaminated and scanned at fortified onshore outpost to prevent enemy spreading beyond island. Ground team will be comprised of as many units available at time of outbreak, plus reinforcements arriving over time. Facility will be first mapped by robotic forces to map enemy concentrations. Ground squads will include flamers and portable thermobarics (think: portable hellbomb from HD2) in addition to standard weaponry and sensors. Exits, chokepoints and intersections will be reinforced with automated sentry guns brought in by subsequent teams in order to reduce the enemy's area of control. Resupplies will be carried out by airdrop and/or robotic courier. CASEVAC will be performed by unmanned airlift, bound for on shore outpost.Forces are to track and box in any isolated xenomoporh that is encountered. Plasma cutters and breaching tools may be employed to access conduits used by the enemy for movement. If primordial nests in process of formation are identified, forces are to prioiritize delivery of thermobarics to central nesting chamber. To avoid capture by the enemy, all troops are to be equipped with a dead man switch that triggers embedded explosives within the body armor at T+5 minutes of cessation of life signs.
>this shit againI'm going start making copies of my resume. Anyone know if Armat or Hyperion are hiring?
>>64887908We at it again.
>>64887936It's selective plot armor. Lazy writers need hundreds of bugs for the hero to mow down later in the story so the alien starts off overpowered or is pitted against retards.
>>64887908Somethint tells me the xenomorphs would do just fine in the ocean so just having it be an island feels insufficient. >xenomorph hits the surf>heads out a way>rides currents until boat passes by or it ends up somewhere elseIf it worked for random animals on wood and shit it'd probably work just fine for a xenomorph.
>>64888010Okay. You get one synth, but you have to share the super secret blacksite with our other nefarious R&D projects.
>>64889414To be fair in the first movie it's pretty much worse case scenario and in the second it's a bunch of soldiers with military kit.Assume it's zombies instead You could have a movie where there is literally only one zombie but the main character lacks any meaningful way to finish it off due to plot and the environment is one where they can't just briskly walk away, so you get a movie with suspense and all that as a horror/intrigue movieThen you have a sequel, where there's now a ton of soldiers with guns in a place with open sightlines etc, that same one zombie is a non-threat, so your options as a writer are either >Make that one zombie a super-zombie>Just put a million of them lolAnd honestly the second one makes for better action movies, and fittingly the sequel is action/horror instead.I never watched anything beyond Alien and the first sequel so I cannot comment if it went directly into the trash after that.
