Darwin's Soldier's Sequel Discussion

Serris · **Reply #120 on:** September 21, 2009, 02:46:29 AM

I like the idea but bear in mind that I had planned for a "race against the clock" scenario (involves 50 megaton pure fusion bomb in Dragonstorm base) at the end like the first RP. I will think about it later but the "car chase" and "race against time" do not work well together.

So the third RP will involve locating Lab 101 and defeating the remaining Dragonstorm personnel?

Also, I'd like it if Delta Leader did indeed sniff Shelton out, but instead of calling him out in public, lures/orders him into an empty room to finish him off. then he can surprise her by wounding/killing her with the pistol. Unless you have other plans for delta leader?

So what do you think about Shelton leaving with Lab 101? That would add a new dimension to the third RP, and kind of be a homage to Hans from the original, only Shelton would do slightly more undercover work than Hans did as a terrorist.

That can be arranged.

I imagine that the lab can fit into a semi trailer.

Here's how I envision it: an unmarked semi cab (with several armed Humvee escorts or gatling gun equipped SUVs) pulls into Pelvanida. Dr. Branston disengages the locks on Lab 101 and a crane (which accompanied the semi cab) lifts the entire lab (along with the key Dragonstorm personnel) onto the semi. After the lab is secured and hooked up to a power supply (possibly a large diesel generator in a trailer that is then attached to the lab)

Not sure if I want the chase to go through Vegas, though. However, this chase will involve lots of shooting and possibly explosives.

Also, I am in fact looking at a sequel, making this a trilogy. Lab 101 gets away but there are still other Dragonstorm experiments and scientists in Pelvanida and they have to be eliminated.

I would say that after what happened to Clyco's team it would also make sense for the Canadian and American governments to, say, arrange for a platoon of tanks to be redispatched to the scene instigating a firefight.

^That'd be pretty awesome.

(not giving permission for it; that's Serris's job, just saying it would be epic)

It's also possible the Canadian government would blame the americans for the attacvk.

Serris · **Reply #124 on:** September 21, 2009, 10:42:00 PM

Both of your plans are go.

Shelton can kill Delta Leader.

Shelton and Dr. Kerzach leave with Lab 101.

Kenjiro, the transports will have to be changed to a semi cab with armed escorts.

The 3rd RP will focus exclusively on Lab 101. The remainder of this RP will focus on "cleaning up the base" so to speak.

Serris · **Reply #125 on:** September 21, 2009, 10:49:50 PM

As for the assault. I imagine that news of the VIP's death reaches the Canadian military and they blame Pelvanida Base for it.

That news in turn reaches the US President, who makes the conclusion that Pelvanida Base has gone rogue and they both dispatch several armored vehicles and troops to deal with the (presumed) rogue base.

The heroes will then attempt to reason with them, unfortunately diplomacy fails and the heroes have to fight their way out. The AWTR will play a huge part in this battle.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #126 on:** September 21, 2009, 11:33:36 PM

Will change the transports. But will any of the scientists and projects escape at the end?

Serris · **Reply #127 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:35:34 AM

Yes, the "core scientists" and the experiments in the room escape.

Everyone else stays behind.

Nick22 · **Reply #128 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:37:08 AM

so will you need aisha or DR landon in part 3?

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #129 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:42:49 AM

Since Shelton appears in Pavlov's checkmate, I'm going to change Pavlov to taking place after the third RP. I've actually got an idea for a story between the 2nd and 3rd RPs, but I won't start it until it's more fleshed out and I have more time.

Serris · **Reply #130 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:46:59 AM

If you decide not to join, I can work a way to explain why those two disappeared.

Nick22 · **Reply #131 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:49:48 AM

No, I'll join Serris, i was just asking if there was some role for the m to play. i'll play them regardless..

Serris · **Reply #132 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:55:43 AM

I'll set up a discussion topic for the 3rd RP sometime later. But everyone has a part.

Nick22 · **Reply #133 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:56:36 AM

ok thanks

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #134 on:** September 22, 2009, 02:16:28 AM

I never thought Shelton would be the one to kill Delta Leader! Thanks, Serris!

Serris · **Reply #135 on:** September 30, 2009, 09:05:54 PM

Caustizer, the joint Canadian/US invasion can occur after Lab 101 is loaded and headed away from the base. I'll let you control all aspects of the invasion.

Speaking of that, should there be a car chase after Lab 101?

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #136 on:** September 30, 2009, 10:23:47 PM

I think that'd be cool. It'd be nice to watch the lab taqke some hits from the outside; Shelton and Kerzach can describe what's happening on the inside while whoever's doing the car chase describes the outside. It'd also be different; despite one full RP and three expanded stories, Darwin's Soldiers hasn't yet had a car chase. It'd be new ground, and some awesome new ground at that.

Also, Cautizer, everyone except Clyco is incapacitated in the control room. It's up to him and his prototpye weapon to defeat the invading Pelvanida guards.

Serris · **Reply #137 on:** October 02, 2009, 12:34:17 AM

I can do both the car chase and the (misguided) joint US/Canadian invasion?

All the allies will gather in the control room after Lab 101 has been loaded and is moving out.

I haven't decided what the the chasing vehicles will be yet.

So far I have 3 options:

1.) Steal the personal vehicles of Pelvanida staff

2.) Use the armored vehicles in Pelvanida's motor pool. The vehicles will be a combination of armored Humvees (anyone can drive) and 8 wheeled Stryker vehicles (only soldiers can drive) and possibly a few 6 wheeled APCs (only soldiers can drive). All of them will have mounted weaponry (still debating if only soldiers or the scientists can use the mounted weapons)

3.) A combination of both (soldiers get the armored vehicles, scientists get the personal vehicles).

Note that Alfred is considered a "scientist" when it comes to weapons usage.

Serris · **Reply #138 on:** October 03, 2009, 07:57:51 PM

Okay I have some things finalized.

Chasing vehicles will be a combo of personal vehicles and military vehicles. Scientists get personal vehicles and soldiers get military.

Some scientists will get to drive the armored Humvees.

Misguided invasion will force the chasers back to the base while Lab 101 drives away.

Sound good? If anyone has other ideas, I'll listen.

Nick22 · **Reply #139 on:** October 03, 2009, 10:20:06 PM

sounds interesting... should they force reynolds to join them?
