Veii vs VapeTech®
Captain's Log - SS Good Times II
20 June 4501 - Veii, Actium System
The Lobster Gambit Pays Off
CEO caved. Transmission received at 0417:
<ENCRYPTED>
OPERATION SEAR:
• 4 unmarked container ships (Jupiter-class freighters)
• Troop drop via railgun capsules (atmospheric entry)
• T-MINUS 120 HRS 30°N 12°E
<END TRANSMISSION>
*They're boiling this town alive.*
The Gathering Storm
Veii Town Hall - 0900
Gathered locals in the dust-choked hall:
• Sunlight slicing through grimy windows
• Warped floorboards creaking under work boots
• Smell of stale coffee and desperation
Stood on a whiskey crate:
[quote="My Speech"]"VapeTech's not coming for water - they're coming for you. Those containers? Coffins for hire. We need every rifle and every grudge in this room."[/quote]
Silence. Then Old Man Hemlock spat: *"Where's my goddamn gun?"*
The Mustering
[list]
[*]Local Defense Force: 25 Veii residents (ARC rifles from dead mercs)
[*]Volunteer Platoons: 4 groups from outlying towns (Lucid's planetary ping)
[*]Total Fighters: ~120 souls (against corporate shock troops)
[/list]

*Veii Hall - Where bad decisions become last stands*
Defense Preparation
| Task | Lead | Progress |
|---|---|---|
| Guerilla Training | Beñat | "Shoot-n-scoot" drills in dust storms |
| Evacuation | Alana | Non-coms to Whisper Canyons |
| Engineering | Biggs Shitto | Jury-rigged seismic charges |
Cavalry Arrives
Astrid brought the Screaming Krait and its captain:
[quote="Rust Volkov"]"Heard there's corporate pigs needing slaughter. My price? 40% of their shiny guns."[/quote]
Pirate ship specs:
• Welded armor plating
• Overcharged thrusters
• Smells like regret and rocket fuel
[quote="Biggs Shitto"]"I can make their drop pods wish they stayed in orbit!"[/quote]
*The man welded a seismic charge to a coffee maker. We're in good hands.*

"Making corporations regret Mondays since 4498"
[Addendum: Distributed Veii's last whiskey ration. Even Aidan's jar got a splash.]
