Black Tank Down

## Description

RESCUE TANK CREW

We have received a distress call from the crew of the CRT-0606 siege tank, called "The Sharp One". They are located a few miles to the north of our camp.

The message says that they have a damaged drive system due to the explosion of anti-tank mine, but the voice in the further part of message is too distorted to copy more information. If we could help them in time, there is a good chance that they will join us. We have to get there before the Zerg do.

Our own Crucio class siege tank will surely raise morale and provide decent firepower in the tough days ahead.

Expected weather in the mission are: Calm

Mission Difficulty: Medium

## Objectives

### Defend the tank from attackers

- As the mission begin a damaged sieged Crucio tank is seen, surrounded by rogue soldiers.

### Get ready for reinforcements arrival

Once rogue soldiers are defeated, the crew of damaged tank will reveal that they have intercepted a transmission of the aggressors, which appear to have called for reinforcements. Due to the nature the damages the tank has taken. it will exclude fast movement, a confrontation is seemingly unavoidable

### Delegate with the Rogue Terran forces

Once reinforcements arrive we learn that they are Deserters from the military forces of the planet and came here in order to assault and recover a traveling tank. At the end of talk Enemy Commander (Command Tank Vengeance ) will present us multiple choice depending on how the conversation went.

A) Attack Now!:

* Abandon any possible agreement with the Deserters and start combat.
* Deserters will consider the compound as an enemy from now on.

B) Accept terms:

* An agreement has been achieved with the Deserters.
* The compound now has a neutral relationship with the Deserters.
* The agreement details might change depending on how delegations went.
* This choice could lead to future interactions with them that might cause new events to arise. (WIP)
* Mission ends when this option is chosen.

C) Make a deal:

* Only available if the delegation went smoothly.
* Pay half of the available resources for The Sharp One. (A minimum needed resources will be added in the future WIP)
* The compound now has a neutral-positive relationship with the Deserters.
* This choice could lead to future interactions with them that might cause new events to arise. (WIP)
* Mission ends when this option is chosen.

D) Diversion:

* Ask for the Deserters for some time.
* A time limit is set when this option is chosen, if nothing has been done the Deserters will turn hostile.

### Get Rid of the aggressors

If the agreement with Deserters goes south, then only confrontation remains. While powerful and resilient, the Vengeance Tank has its weaknesses: it lacks agility to fight highly mobile infantry unit and the blast radius of its attacks can damage itself if fired too close to an obstacle.

## Optional Objectives

### Salvage containers, 3 total

- Standard containers with gear/blueprints.

## Story

Mission accomplished. The tank and the crew of "The Sharp One" were saved from deserters.

They appear to be very large and organized group. We reviewed the reports but were unable to establish location of their base of operations or estimate their level of numbers and equipment. We have to assume that they know our position and they can seriously threaten us in the future, unless we can find an agreement with them

## Trivia

* The Sharp One can be repaired to enable the main weapon.
* The Sharp One will start attacking the aggressors when its fully repaired, and will continue to do despite taking damage.
* The Sharp One won't attack targets that are close.

* When destroyed the Vengeance tank can be scavenged.

* If an aggressive attitude is taken while delegating with the rogue forces, only 3 options will be presented.

* If Vengeance is not destroyed it will return in the future. (WIP)
