*Franchise Wars Island Explorers: TyranidWarrior*

**************************************************************************
You and your brave squads of men take off to an island that has caught your attention quite a lot in the past few days...
You can see that there is some volcanic activity....and that you must be careful.

You come at the edge of Sanghelios and recall that you need water-transportation to cross the ocean first.

Frustrated, you doubt that the Ghosts can maintain above surface for long.
What do you do?
**************************************************************************

*******************************************************************************
The banshees are used (each holding two men or one hunter).
The hover upgrade the ghosts are equipped with shoud work well enough to cross safely and are used also holding two men.

[Facade [TVTP]]

*Franchise Wars Island Explorers: TyranidWarrior*

**************************************************************************
You realize that your Banshees can do the job well enough and you risk your men on the Ghosts a bit.
After a long ride you command your men to stop.
You've arrived.
There are long spindly reefs decorating the coast of the island...
You cannot go further on Ghosts. You must tread through the Ash land.
Smog floats around the bay...You order one of your Banshees to go up ahead and see if it's safe.

Not 3 minutes later, you hear a gurgle and a muffled yell.
Everyone unholsters their weapons...
What do you do?

In prep for securing Arrowhead island

Log:-Prime

I have called for the construction of minor fortifications on Erogator Isle. The base will include a launching platform able to reach space, as well a tank which patrols the grounds on a rail system. It is not the most elaborate of bases, but it will be quite... mobile when completed. www.unicron.us/tf1985/figures/omegasupreme.htm Considering how unstable the island can be, the ability to have the entire base capable of leaving the premises is appealing.

Silverbolt has been brought back on-line. The noble Autobot AirCommander is quite the aerial tactician and is able to increase the fighting effectiveness of our air force. If air support is not needed as much as raw power, he and the four members of his personal squadron are able to combine into the 110 foot behemoth Superion. The combiner has been able to successfully engage battle cruisers and tear fortifications apart with his bare hands. The combined energy of five autobot sparks confers incredable resistance to harm. Superion's might is only to be called upon in the most dire circumstances.

The Tejex breeding program is now underway, the first mating pair is healthy and getting stronger by the day. The antics of these, intelligent, curious creatures have been excellent for morale. If there is time, perhaps they can preform a small demonstration of their aerial agility for the conference.

Log:- Our glorious city is complete! Our numbers now fill its corridors. We may now begin exploring this planet and documenting the indigenous life forms. I will put my wife, Solana, in charge of the exploration. I have ordered research into personal shields so as to protect them from hostile organisms.

Message from Chief Engineer:
Power generators have been placed around the city until the drilling platform is operational and we can begin harnessing the massive stores of geothermal energy beneath us.

In panic, you send another scout (on foot) to go inspect the premises...
He disappearsinto the fog....

Your men take a few setps forward...cautiously....

Your scout pushes through the fog and sees his comrade, half buried...all scorched lying out of the ground.
The scout backs up as more gurggling noises echo and notices that this is hot marsh land.
He yells and calls for reinforcements, you hear the cry for help and....

What do you do?

WARMOD ANNOUNCEMENT:

Everything looks good people, Franchise Wars is advancing smoothly....although the Heavy Pics from Era and UnseenOne are a bit....overwhelming.....
They take up quite a lot of space on the Thread.

ErA, I'm going to have to ask you to remove at least one Photo or make it a smaller, smaller size....
The Pictures are beginning to warp the Thread a bit...

Also, remember, every research project takes 15 DAYS
If it's a Large Project (Like a Warship, WormHole Gate, etc.) divide it up into 2-4 parts and research those parts individually for 15 DAYS each.

We want to make it fair, just thought I'd point that out.

Thanks.

[ErA | zoe)ender]

OK sorry. I just like posting up pics like that
Really? No matter what 15 Days? even if it's just research to build a unit?

We all run forward to hopefully save the scout and if still alive give the banshee's rider medical attention and have the engineers fix the banshee. We will also attempt to destroy what ever attacked my men using first the fuel rod cannons on my hunters then the brute grenade launchers.

You and your men respond to the cry of help and plunge into the fog...
Once you arrive there you see what has happened and call for your Elites to carry him back to the shore...

Something's wrong...

You look around and notice that 9 of your men are missing....
Impossible...
You help carry the wounded Elite and walk further into the island...

The fog clears up...
You see burnt ground and gulleys of lava flowing by....

You set down the wounded Elite and call for another Head Count...
But the other 9 men are nowhere to be seen.

You take another glimpse of the land and see a shape in the distance...like a building...

What do you do?
