Ruuun to the hiiiilllllls, run for your liiiiiives
I see they are the 'new versions' of bodyjackers, the same one that they atempted to throw at us in retaliation for Addlebear. smaller, differet color (I remember Mayu statd it was significant, but I don't know if the autopsy (I think there was one) told us much)*
I propose: A Fighting retreat:
Grab the weather machine, don't try to get the portal machine yet. If you have some remote explosive charge though, do throw them near (i know, i know, it's not a video game bu they are spec ops, so who know...)
Fall back. Throw concusion grenades and light explosives to delay the flow of bodyjacker as troops move back top open grounds , if you have them. Try to evacuate as many scientists and personal as you can as well but dont a huge priority. (Activate NBC protocol in case of pretenders spores, every combatant and prisoners should be checked after operation. in fact, that should be integrated in standart procedures by now)
Prepare multiple (three should do) Enderfist strikes as contengecies, don't fire them yet.
As long as we prevented or limited casualties in our ranks, the bodyjackers flow will tarish. After that, either the lab will be free for us to take back with small teams oooor the enemy start throwing more and /worse/ through the portal at which point we can Enderstrike the place and/or send drones or/and a small group on a suicide mission to take out the portal machine (with most of our troops and the weather machine on their way far awaaay)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
*That said, this talk of bodyjackers, that do remind me on one other point to add to all the questions I had above:
Did we ever get an autopsy on the "Author drones"
By author drones I mean:
-The creature that was piloting the 'plane' from region 1 that was bringing in bodyjackers after addlebaer. it looked author like with a hoop head, tentacly limb and red 'skinn'
-The creature that were linked to Nadir, made from a Saramis corpse and Dr castor that were in Cyrano with the tentacle portal hoop heads, the red obsidian like 'skins' and the little green balls insides. (oh and the limbles floating for one)
I'm mostly curious to compare if the author like abominations from Region 1 and Cyranno are anything alike beyond appearance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And really .... the weather machine is just three boxes with an off/on switch and four settings ? I mean are we sure we're not just grabbing a small control box and the real device is build inside the lighthouse ?
I mean okay y'kno what I'll give a free pass on the size, after all it's probably author inspired tech, which I suspect, trully work on the powers of narrative causality (aka "because the plot say so otherwise it wouldn't make a good storry". And I mean that in universe, the author are well.. just that so it make sense their powers are storry based) rather than ay silly 'science' but, please tell me there are additional controls I can't see.
(... At the very least a power slider somewhere so you can sort of vary between a sunny pleasant weather or a deadly drought or betweenn a small rain and terrible storm)
