Session opener, straight off the Discord wire. Mood: locked in.
Session 720 // 2026-07-20
First time inside the massive warehouse in Maintenance, exploring alone before night. Upper floor — and a UESC GHOST runs straight across the screen. First one ever. Petrified, weapon up, no idea where to shoot.
The zombie thing at 12 meters — a Season 2 anomaly horror, no official name yet (CLASS B ANOMALOUS MATERIAL, per the lore). First sniper ever picked up, never fired. Accidentally equipped it sorting gear, zoomed in for a look, squeezed the trigger — and blew it to smithereens. Very satisfying.
Faction quest games: the sample objective completes and the floor is carpeted with Probiotic Samples. "Honor amongst thieves, right?" — then ALERT: A HIGH-VALUE TARGET HAS DEPLOYED. The scam: they make you use their container, then it hacks the rest of your materials right out of your inventory. Nagging thieves. Can't trust any of them.
Last quest step: EXFIL TO COMPLETE. Health deep in the red, DOOMSTAR pops smoke, sprint through the haze with implant buffs expiring in single digits. Mass chaos — tight extract, ultra fulfilling.
"The man" — squad name for the big thing in the sky that shoots rockets. Here he's raining down every spawn on the map as the transfer counts to zero. Scrambled for exfil, didn't make it: rocket barrage downs both at 0:10, death screen at exactly 0:00, the red figure looming over the bodies. The man, putting insult to injury.
