How CAS works on prison station

[Build_R_]

A sequel to how the mortar works: viewtopic.php?f=114&t=18290

There is a problem very much like the one with mortars on the prison map. CAS can't be fired through the ceiling or the air would be sucked out and everyone would die right? WRONG. Today I will explain what really happens when you call in a CAS strike

It's an incredible but complex process so stay with me on this one.

What we believe happens (Wrong)

► Show Spoiler

Here we see that the engineer calls in a CAS strike, the pilot flies overhead and lanches a missile through the glass ceiling killing the queen and causing all the air to leak into space. It may be a marine minor but it's certainly not the truth. In reality, a much more believable system is occurring.

What really happens (Right)

► Show Spoiler

Here we have what is really happening. The engineer calls in a CAS strike, the pilot officer flies overhead and activates their missile which is in fact a fake, this fake missile acts as a radio sending out a signal down through the ceiling before it explodes. This radio signal is received by a mini dropship piloted by the pilot officer's underpaid cousin Larry, the radio signal tells Larry where the target is and he fires his real missile upon the target, friendly-firing as many marines as possible.

This process may seem complicated but it's what is truly happening! I'm very happy to answer any questions you have about this system. The OB cannon works the same way except there's a tiny CIC near the ceiling of the prison and the tiny OB cannon is controlled by the commander's cousin ralph (also underpaid).

I feel like this is wrong, after all why would the USCM pay to give Larry a proper uniform when they can just have him work in his own clothes instead?

Ah, good observation. Larry is in fact in his own clothes, he admires his cousin the PO so much that he bought his own uniform and wears it casually so that people don't think he's a loser.

Isn't the real missile made from the same material as the ceiling for camouflage?

Close but not quite, its like the IFF of the smartgun in that the real missile fires down a specific path that it can be sure is completely out of the line of sight of marines, ensuring nobody ever sees it.
