Hilarious Xeno Reactions to Random Things

[FGRSentinel]

I was bored and thought it'd be interesting to share stories from previous rounds. Basically, if you've seen or done something that freaked out the xenos or filled the hive with salt, feel free to share it.

My first story is from my first round as TC. We were fighting on LV and the marines weren't willing to finish off anything we downed with the LBT. Eventually the driver and I get fed up with it and, after I fired a round that stunned three xenos, the driver used the Overdrive module to rush ahead, running all three over repeatedly until they died. While we're sitting there laughing one of the Xeno players actually LOOC complains about how bullshit it was, causing us to break into hysterics.

My second is a few stories. When I first started taking the revolver as a holdout weapon, people mocked me for the choice as the revolver is, in their eyes, a poor weapon. One of my first rounds with it, I get ambushed alone by a runner and my primary is knocked out of my hands. It didn't have a mag harness, so it fell to the ground, where another Marine grabbed it and left me to die. Eventually I manage to get back up and pull out the revolver, firing a shot at the runner that hits them before they bolt. In another round, I used it to spook a Crusher that didn't expect a pistol to have AP, but the best response to this was from a Queen. This specific queen used a shriek to knock me out and started dragging me away. Before they get too far, I recover and break free, pulling out my revolver to take a few shots, only for the Queen to take a hit and decide the random PFC with the AP revolver wasn't worth sticking around for. That's right, I've spooked a queen so badly with just a revolver that they noped on out of the fight.

Anyone else have stories to share?

Kind of.

I started the round as CL, change of pace after lots of PFC frontline combat.

In lobby admins asked for event volunteers but I did not mind it. So things start and I sent a fax describing arriving in the AO and further steps.

Then I ran off to briefing. Uneventful. It finishes and I get some little 'notification' about a personal alarm being tipped in my quarters. Curious, I ran back. Actually, since briefing was over I would've gone there anyway.

Went in through maintain. Nothing. Then first room and lore and behold two WY PMCs sit there. I asked them if they got the fax and were there because of it. No, they did not get it. Figures. Some ship announced itself docking earlier, so I guess it was them. We have a long talk that basically (in a nutshell) is a lot of veiled threats before they are confident enough with me and they reveal some big confidential "pet project" (kinda literally):

Experimental corrupted xenos loyal to humans. They even smuggled one into my quarters and it differed only in color. The same things Marines fought below. Then we ended up talking to the CMD about it, hiding it in my office. Then we actually brought them to his quarters, him and MPs present almost freaked out.

Long story short, we finally try to test the loyal Xenos while warning Marines not to fire on them. We land on big red but due to the long "prelude" Marines were already in full retreat. We tried to flank the aliens from behind as they pounded on LZ-1.

And they were fooking flabbergasted first when they ran into WY PMCs and green aliens. You could literally sense or see the confusion. Some stopped, some ran off.

Eventually fighting started and some got lost. I think only he green alien Theta held out the longest. I was doomed by fleeing Marine FF and the other mercs got bumrushed.

And yet it was fucking awesome. That "look" on their faces initially...

Yeah, it's kinda funny when xenos run into shit they don't expect since they basically run off doing that kind of stuff to Marines. My favorite is when you spook the queen with some trivial thing while she's charging since she'll often cause half the hive to pull back to defend her.
