Combine with Crowd Control for maximum effectiveness!

As I stumbled into the Pelican at the extract, covered in bug guts and nursing a sore left leg from a stim rapidly fixing up a hairline fracture caused by my being rammed by a Charger, it became abundantly clear that I need a handheld means of disposing of heavier bugs and enemies in general. I cannot rely on the OPS nor the Solo Silo for dealing with heavier enemies as their explosive radius renders them too dangerous for closer range engagement and both have travel time considerations. I needed a faster solution to the problem and for that there were plenty. I just needed to figure out what to get first.

Upon my return to the Super Destroyer, I got in touch with Service Technician Andersson to discuss using the laser designator I’d kept from a Solo Silo deployment for use as a supplement to the standard stratagem ball beacon. Leaning on my control over the minds of the crew, I had her reconfigure a supply of Solo Silo laser designators for the purpose and calibrate the Super Destroyer to be able to pick up the laser’s signal to triangulate the end point of where the laser is pointed at so that the stratagem picked would be applied to the location and for the laser to still be able to work with any Solo Silo that I call down. If done correctly, I will be able to deploy turrets to elevated positions easily and accurately dispose of enemy structures from a distance.

To test this new bit of supplementary equipment, I decided to bring along one of the modified “Stratagem Lasers” that I’d commissioned, leaving my SG-88 in storage onboard the ship in my personal quarters and picking up an EAT-17 Expendable Anti-tank permit before dropping again, this time picking the OPS, the Guard Dog, the EAT-17 and Machine Gun Turret.
