Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20180203173539/@comment-34283940-20180203183327

Unfortunately for our little friend here, this isn't the first time this happened. I simply turned to my second-in-command and said, "Ready the EMP pulse, turn on anti-aircraft flak guns and mobilize the troops. This colony must make it to the safe zone."

"Yes, Captain!" he replied.

Now all I had to do is stall for time until everything was ready. I turned to the high orc and asked, "Why do you need our men?"

"That's none of your business, now surrender at once, or your landship is forfeit" the high or declared.

"These colonists are under my protection. I'm gonna need a lot more than a threat of destruction before I turn over anyone."

"Okay, how about this: when your ship falls,  not only will we take all of your men, but your women and children too. We'll monsterize the women and teach the children their rightful place in life as our slaves. And we'll make sure they know you did this to them."

It was just then that I received the signal that everyone has mobilized and the EMP pulse is online.

"We're ready, Captain!" my second-in-command radioed in.

"You just signed your death warrant with that threat." I told the high orc. Then I gave the signal to fire.

At once I lost connection to the high orc, while the landship outside visibly powered down. At once the catapults, which weren't powered by electricity, launched the wurms, only to be torn to shreds by my flak guns. The ones that made it on my landship were quickly apprehended by my troops.

After throwing the surviving wurms in the brig with the other mamamo that tried the same thing earlier this week, I turned to my second-in-command and said, "Set course for the safe zone full speed ahead. I do not want to find out what that big red button does."

"Yes Captain!"
