D-COM: OOC/Signup

[Firstaria]

Yeah, i was about to enter, buuuuut then I read 15 Megatons. I hope you don't mind if I wait for next op to enter guys XD.

[Kerzacistan]

For all that's good and holy... we're nuking Prague. This is going to be a disaster in so many ways, from global finance to public relations.

Also, what's the size of the D-COM's operations. Am I correct in assuming that it's comparable to the size of X-Com in the original X-Com game?

I was basing it off of that but with full backing of the UN

Yeah, and we're probably not nuking Prague since the aliens haven't sent a full scale invasion yet.

Yeah its just a countdown to a possible nuking, its just meant to be like "Yo if you dont fix this we's gunna use a sledgehammer instead of a scalpel"

I cannot by any stretch of the imagination envision a scenario where the major powers of the world would authorize nuclear cleanup of failed operations, especially considering the nature of D-COM.

Not only is it going to have a disasterous effect on the world economy, which might adversely affect D-COM's ability to find funding, to put it mildly, it's also going to be a public relations catastrophe. The people minor and secondary powers - like the Czech Republic - that can't afford their own nuclear protection are going to be somewhat alarmed. Everybody is going to know fully well that D-COM is the kind of organization that nukes cities, and any politician that wants to be re-elected is going to start publically demadding an explanation from D-COM, which they can't provide, since this is an extremely premature strike. Which, again, jeopardizes D-COM's ability to secure funding. Then, of course, is the strategic disaster that is creating a gigantic radioactive zone in the middle of populated Europe, that soldiers can't even go into or collect intel from without expensive and clumsy special equipment - a perfect entry point for otherworldly invaders. Oh, and I do believe that removing Prague from the map will somewhat curtail the Czech Republic's ability to hold itself together, which means somebody has to start shelling out a lot of money for extra security forces, and that somebody (probably the E.U.) is going to be rather displeased. Not to mention that this nuke doesn't actually accomplish anything that can't be accomplished by sending a Czech division in. It might be slower, clumsier, and messier than doing it by D-COM mission, but it sure works a lot better and leaves a lot less casualties than a strategic nuclear. Also, remind me why exactly we're using a strategic nuclear when a tactical nuclear will do the job just as well with a lot less mess and a lot less casualties?

I literally cannot imagine what perspective you need to have to think that this is a good idea, unless you're the kind of deranged maniac that wants humanity to lose this war.

I think where the guy said that it was a drill countdown to get extra adrenaline for the field soldiers, basically told you what mindset the captain who pushed the button is.

Of course. But my character doesn't know that. Nor does any soldier, administrator, or worker that heard about this bomb, all of whom are going to be quite outraged.

Then again, a soldier in battle with his life on the line is probably not concerned with the long-term implications of a strategic nuclear.

And this sort of a joke is something you can only pull off once.

Do not worry. The 10 year intelligence officer is going to have some very choice words when he is back.

[Unified Free Lands]

Just a reminder for future reference, alien soldiers are not easy to kill

Ayys can take multiple rifle rounds to the chest and keep fighting unless an organ gets hit, Vipers are very hard to kill also unless you use a bladed weapon at close range.

On a side note, are we far enough into future tech where I can possibly have help building something like this:

It wasn't my idea originally.

I think it was Doc who suggested it.

I just think nekos are overused. Nothing against them

I don't think so. I helped give you a reason to have her, but I'm pretty sure you wanted to use one.

[Bycrest]

So I'm out of the loop since I haven't posted in the IC yet, what's going on?

Klaus is going to have a sciencegasm when he finds out about her
