<div class="IPBDescription">Who would you hire?</div> <i>You have just received exclusive information from a private investigator you hired to scour Earth for Flayra's Lair, who has discovered not only the exact coordinates of the lair, but has also confirmed that the mainframe of the supercomputer housed in the lair contains Natural Selection <b>version 2.0</b>.

Not long after the transmission was sent, you lost all communication with your private investigator - one can only hope his demise was not brought by the recently rumored "hovaring scorpians"

Having determined the location of where you can find a copy NS 2.0, you are determined to somehow get a hold of a copy; but continuously playing of Natural Selection has left you flabby, weak, etc. - thus, you are in no condition yourself to penetrate Flayra's Lair yourself to steal NS 2.0

Hearing your sobs and whining through your microphone, a strange avatar suddenly appears on your monitor, and tells you that he possesses powers that he believes can aid you. Intrigued, you ask for details, and he explains to you that he has the powers to summon a single video game characters to reality in order to carry out your wants for NS. In return, the avatar demands that you destroy all NS forum users who make references to "hovaring scorpians".

You agree.</i>

<b>Situation Outline:</b> This mission has an utmost need to be as covert as possible. Hiring a trigger-happy character (i.e., Duke Nukem, Serious Sam), would not be appropriate for this mission, as their trail of wanton destruction would lead back to your house, and Flayra would bring pestilence and locusts to devour you and all whom you care about. Foolishly, you have also boasted to several people that you managed to hack your way to Flayra's lair and steal NS 2.0 - they will expect to see that your computer does in fact have it, if not, you will isolated from all peers for eternity. <b>Failure is not an option. Choose wisely</b>

<b><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Current Weapons of Choice:</span></b>

<b>Cate Archer</b> - from the No One Lives Forever series

<b>Sam Fisher</b> - from Splinter Cell

<b>Solid Snake</b> - from the Metal Gear series

<b>Lara Croft</b> - from the Tomb Raider series

<b>Garrett</b> - from the Thief series


<i>It is understandable that these characters come from timelines/environments, so equipment available to them may be foreign to them. They will be given a three month training period to familiarize themselves with the technology available in our present time.</i>



Who will you pick?

<i>my personal pick: Garrett <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> </i>

    Definately Snake. I mean, if he can find our missing Grey Fox, and destory the metal gear FIVE DAMN TIMES, what can't he do?

    I got the perfect one: a sentient headcrab from Half-life!

    I'd train him in the use of computer systems in order to extract the game, his natural abilites at stealth and covert entry would help, and if worst came to worse, he could crab a hovar scorpian's head and make it out with the game. if that is not open, Skulk with level 3 silence, level 3 cloaking, and level 3 redemption. using Flayra's own minions against him, plus, since my room is such disorder, i think a hive may have grown behind the server...

    Pfft You are all NUBS

    I'd take the GDI Commando (Or Havoc) one of those two. I mean they can take on whole bases!

    Either that or Raynor/Kerrigan/Ghost of any sort. (Yes I have been playing StarCraft...)


    Oh and the Chrono Commando would be rather good!

    JC Denton. And if it's the post-Helios version, he wouldn't even need to go inside to steal it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Solid Snake.
    Btw., am I the only one who finds the name "Solid Snake" to be REALLY pereverted? What was Hideo-san thinking? I know <a href='http://www.gamespy.com/instapoll/poll.asp?poll_id=5745&maxwidth=300&dontvote=true' target='_blank'>my man Fargo</a> agrees.

    Fisher, hands down. I'd love to choose Cate Archer, but Fisher knows what he's doing, his missions go wrong less of the time, he's got training with gadgets, and he's just SO DARN COOL. He'd be in an out with 2.0 before the hovaring scorpians could hovar without flapping.

    Id take the guy from the Hitman Series. He can strangle all the guards with his piano wire and then steal their uniform to blend in.

    Sam Fisher is good too.
    Or that guy from the IGI games. (forgot his name.)
  • MausMaus Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 5599Members
    Well, presumably it would take a lot of money to hire these people, so why not just use that to bribe Flayra? Or even use it to buy the project from him?
  • Cereal_KillRCereal_KillR Join Date: 2002-10-31 Member: 1837Members
    am I the only one that finds that MGS is just not infiltrating enough? He gets seen a whole lot and isn't discreet nearly as much as Sam Fisher. And well Cate Archer is too much a "comedy" type of superspy. i have no idea who Garrett is and Lara Croft isn't my type of game so I'll go with the Splinter Cell guy.

    No idea... NO IDEA WHO GARRET IS?!

    People these days.
  • MausMaus Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 5599Members
    Indeed, that's quite shocking. Among the best games of all time, that pair. Ah well, He'll get to know Garret when #3 comes out <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Definitley Fisher. Snake shoots the hell out of things too much. Lara is retardted. Ditto Cate. Garret, too damn medievil.
  • RamsesRamses Join Date: 2002-05-21 Member: 642Members
    Garret.

    He wouldn't return with just NS 2.0, but also with two trucks full of Gold, a magic keyboard and all that without killing anyone. Well, perhaps some mechanists, but they don't matter <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Garret is just the coolest gamecharacter ever in my opinion...
