Robustness thread.

Post by DeadLantern » 01 Sep 2016, 23:15

Have you done anything, robust, are you simply so robust that everyone knows your name and targets you? Well, put your robust things here!

not really robust but I once got pointed at by a xeno and then the xeno said something like "OH SHIT ITS KEN" as 15 acid spits hit me dead on in the chest.getting meta targeted is kinda fun.

I once got called savage by Xur for holding off two crushers with a bootknife and protecting the last two sentries we had while all the marines ran away. I held out for a good long while I did, and died as a marine should: Fighting.

I didn't kill anything, but the fact that I managed to intimidate a pair of crushers with a knife should be impressive... Right? Right?

Wore B18 armour that actually did its job, survived 15 minutes of charging into Nexus at Bill Carson's orders and actually managed to kill 1/4 of all Xenos there on my own, AP Gyro M4 with Mag harness and a riot shield in the other makes for a great combo when you charge the enemy. I was slashed up while being dragged away by 4 different aliens, including a Queen, a Hivelord, a Hunter and a Runner. Not to mention getting a facehugger torn off of my face, two mines blowing up at my feet, getting hit by that gross Carrier acid stun line and absorbing some hits from said Carrier, LOTS of FF, luckily no shotguns were had that day, and my crowning moment where I'd finally fallen over and was sitting at LZ1 awaiting evac, I managed to gather enough health to stand back up just in time to get hit by a max velocity Crusher charge, which only managed to knock me over, after the stun wore off I got right back up, then proceeded to die from FF finally piercing my lungs and losing all my oxygen. I was Charlie Specialist Garth 'Doom' Pawolski reassigned by Bill Carson to be Alpha Squad Leader. That was the most glorious battle I'd ever taken part of, I'm sure at least 20 xenos died in the fight, and god knows how many marines died as I charged through the Nexus, I only remember seeing 3 marines at the LZ after all the wounded left and I was holding the position with those brave lads.

Once I got separated from my Squad as a medic and managed to hunt down and kill a runner that kept trying to facehug me. At first it got the upper hand by pushing me down and dis-arming me but I managed to punch it until it was stunned, grabbed my SMG and shot it to death. was fun

once got hugged, then got up after being infected and charged with my squad, or more like LED my squad with a machete and riot shield, killing two crushers, 2 ravagers, and 3 t1s i cant remember. another round when that happened i killed a ravager and an elite hunter before being surrounded by the queen and 2 other ravis and getting torn limb from limb. then another round i escaped a nest to chop up a prea and a drone, killing them, before the queen had to screech to kill me. overall, i am slightly robust

Some Runner devoured me the other day aboard the Sulaco hangar during an assault, he couldn't barf me up because the Drone's hadn't made any nests, so I embraced my inner-chestburster and thanked the lord for my boot knife.

I became Queen after the last one died and with a contingent of the Alien team that weren't running around like headless chickens, slaughtered the attacking Marines and the team went on to take the Sulaco.

As a Marine I've used an underslung flamethrower to kill three Xenos in a tight corridor.

Again as an Alien, I became Crusher and survived to the end of the round, becoming Ancient and killing many marines on the Ice Planet, in the deep dark underground.

As a Predator, with Gentlemanly Headcrab, we held off the entire hive, including the Queen, that decided to banzai charge the lodge.

As a Sulaco Drone, I killed all of the Doctors and two Marines.

Go FoB doc, show up with my full arsenal of hypospray based meds. Doesn't bother with a gun or helmet, only COWARD DOCS need those!
Surprise the medics by ACTUALLY bringing surgical tools and perdiox (WHO FORGETS THOSE? IS THAT A THING?)
Deal with the same marine's broken bones 3 times a round... (Maybe stop getting slashed? Not a revolving door hospit... dirty hole in ground)
Do so many surgeries that I have 6 xeno embryos in a backpack and that's not counting the floor ones. (I should start a collection.)
Run out of gas in my anesthetic tank. KEEP USING IT ANYWAY, UNCONSCIOUSNESS FROM ASPHYXIATION IS JUST AS GOOD.
Do a surgery WHILE RETREATING AND MOVING. (7 steps to fix a broken chest, plus perdiox and antitox/spaceacillin injections, done in FIVE different locations. I pack and unpack REAL quick).
Get shipside, discover that I apparently dealt with over a third of the patients that round, using only carried supplies, and didn't lose one.

After me and another marine watched a predator duel our friend in a 1x1 combat some xenos started to appear, the comms were offline so we had no idea the only people left in the ENTIRE planet were the only three of us, the predator went invisible and we started to fight for our lifes to get in the pod, after the B18 marine got captured and the other dead i ran away, tried to find him, unfortunately he wasn't in the caves, robusted a few xenos and got my helmet broken, i ran past the queen and a shitton of xenos in the nexus, managed to reach the rasputin and when a runner was going to pounce on me i activated the shutters, they started to put acid everywhere, i was truly doomed...suddently the rasputin starts up and i got saved, what got me amazed was the fact that the B18 marine managed to get in the pod when he was captured while i was fighting my way to the rasputin, this was one of the best moments i've had in CM
