Chapter 101: Defensive Preparations

D.Black:

Alright.

Were still working on getting this place up and running, though.

Superfan39526:

Well, we made something of a plan.

I can fill you in while we finish up

D.Black:

Sure

But come tell me in person, its been too long since I got to play as Dextra

Superfan39526:

Sounds good

Maybe give us an hour?

D.Black:

Alright

Thomas turned to the others, It looks like Dr. Zlo needs a lot of Alienite to enact his plan. With the Quli still assaulting Earth, I propose we lure some here and take their Alienite.

That changes up our timetable, Rampart said.

It wont be that big a problem, Nikola said.

It might eat into our funds.

We can always sell the alien tech, Dextra replied. Im sure any losses we take will be recouped from there.

Im down with it, Shizuka said, popping out from a smoke cloud. Gives me a chance to test this guy.

The ninja held a saber-toothed squirrel by the scruff of its neck. The monster squirmed in the womans grasp, squeaking angrily.

Why do you have one of those squirrels? Rampart asked.

I saw this ancient television show a while back where people built catapults and chucked pumpkins with them. Im wondering if I cant do the same for this fella.

Thats kinda sick, the hero replied.

Oh, lighten up. Its a game. I need to get Zlomboni or JackOLantern to build me something. We all know Im not going to do it.

Couldnt you do something with your ninja powers? Nikola asked.

You know, maybe I could do that, the ninja mused. She twisted the squirrel around to face her, What do you think? Should I use my ninja powers to catapult you into the sky?

Shizuka shook the squirrel up and down and spoke in a squeaky voice, Yes, Id love to learn to fly!

Nikola shook his head, You got issues.

And you need to lighten up, the ninja shot back.

As much as I would love to discuss the logistics of a squirrel catapult, Rampart started, We still need a bit to finish the camps.

Im going to call Jack and see if she cant send down a group of construction robots, Dextra said. Now that the area seems clear.

Oh, thank god, Nikola said.

What are you complaining for? Shizuka ribbed.

Crafting is so boring.

Nikola is the type of person who tells others what to do, Dextra said.

D*mn straight I am, the man responded.

Alright then, whats our next step? Rampart challenged.

Hire some more goons while we wait for the construction bots, the villain answered.

Rampart shook his head, And where do they construct? What do they construct?

Alright, fine. You can keep your dang leadership position, Nikola grumbled.

Its not a bad plan. Im down to do it, Rampart said. As long as Jack sends construction bots.

Dextra looked back at the group chat to see Rampart posting the same message.

JackOleen:

Yeah, I can send down a couple of squads of bots with everyone in the shuttle.

Make sure no one breaks them.

Like Riptide

Candequeen:

He wont

Surfsup26:

Yeah, scouts honor.

Superfan39526:

Ill let you guys know when I have enough Alienite for the teleporter then.

And Im going to order a few more things.

Replace Quartet and build some other stuff.

D.Black:

Okay, well keep you posted on our end as well.

Okay, what do we do while waiting for the others to come back? Nikola said.

We should discuss the best type of weapons to use, Rampart said. Since were in a forest, fire is out. And since we dont want to ruin our resources, we need to keep explosions to a minimum.

What about electricity? Nikola asked.

Can you aim it, and will it start a fire?

Yes to the first, and it didnt when I hit that giant so probably not.

Then it should be fine.

I doubt simple guns would work well against the walkers, Dextra said.

How about lasers? Or disintegration beams? We could see if Jack can make something like that, Rampart said.

What about magic? Nikola asked.

Merla cant make anything others can use, Rampart responded.

But could Jack?

I dont think so, Dextra answered. But, we can ask.

Cool. Im going to start placing logs around the hill so we can hire the NPCs. If you guys think of anything else, let me know, Rampart said.

Dextra nodded to the hero as he walked off. Nikola stepped in closer, So. When are we planning to betray the heroes for Skyline?

Youre thinking too far into the future, Dextra said. We arent even sure we can protect Skyline from all the others out there. Im not about to start a fight we cant win.

Nikola scoffed, Boring.

Dextra rolled his eyes, Oh come now, just because we cant fight heroes twenty-four-seven doesnt mean things are boring.

Maybe for you, Nikola said. But I built myself to fight. Sitting around like this makes me antsy.

Then, how about searching for some more patches of land? You can fight anything in the area, and we secure more resources.

Nikola pulled out his scooter, Well since you say so, Ill get right on that.

Before Thomas could stop him, Nikola flew into the sky. Rolling his eyes, the player opened up the faction tab and allocated some funds to Nikola. Hed need them if he wanted to buy more land. With that done, Thomas jogged over to Rampart. He had to let everyone know Nikola went to do his own thing.

The others landed in the shuttle a few minutes later, Sweet Dream and Riptide hopping off first. Jacks construction robots followed behind the pair, the spiderlike drones scuttling around. Titan and Oro appeared next, the two players talking about some sports match. They all walked towards Rampart, huddling up once they got close.

Where do you need us? Sweet Dream asked.

Well, we got a couple of houses up, and its enough to recruit a couple of NPCs, but we definitely need more housing, Rampart answered.

Sweet Dream nodded and turned to the construction drones, Jack programmed these to obey voice commands. Ive already calibrated my voice so I can give them any instructions you need. Ill have them start on housing, and if we need to switch, let me know.

Awesome, Rampart said. Well make sure they get the resources they need. Im thinking simple wood homes for now. Once we get enough miners, thats when things will really get going.
