USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (PHILOSOPHY)- 'The Door'

Ah! Must have overlooked the thread.

Heph will attack one spider, but dedicates his time to avoiding the rest of them.

(tap WW)

Berserker will continue to act as a human shield for Heph attacking at spiders.

Appreciated, but spare yourself some damage this turn! I've tapped my defensive power. Punch 'em up with HT.

Melkor fires off the last of his shots, to not a huge effect without Eagle Eye. He cannot engage this turn though- he would have to movr in.

Osprey coming into land now... but all those spiiders around make boarding very hazardous indeed!

Heph must act intelligently right now because else there is going to be a lot of unpleasantness. And those spiders are not going to stop coming.

Can Heph jump onto the Osprey by making use of Abundant Leap?

Heph should get the Osprey as quick as possible, while Melkor and Berserker need to retreat!

Sirin will also make for the helicopter, retreating from the stairway door.

Klez will cover Sirin's retreat by blasting down those two spiders still at the stairway door, moving with her.

Well, Heph, if you get close enough, yes. But as I have been disucsisng from a different angle with the combat path, it might not be very smart.

Huh?

Is there something wrong with the helicopter?

No, there's something wrong with us. Think about it, the Virus couldn't spread itself unless it visited every single person in the Matrix. I bet you that we can infect everyone else we come into contact with...

I get it. It's a virus. It spreads.

...oh god, we're so screwed.

Surely so. You get on that copter right now, you;ll doom the Combat Path too.

Well dammit.

How close can we get to them before they're infected?

Because I'm think they could take off and we could cling the underside, as long as they don't come to check on us.

And you spend the whole rest of the game parted?

Well, we don't want them to share our fate, do we?

So it was entirely pointless them coming here, you mean?

Not entirely. We could give them direction on how to make use of the cure and hand it over to them...or toss it to them.

It's not a cure though, is it?

Unfortunately. It will just stop the virus and save mankind, but not the already infected, we know...
