Saved!

Whoa, sign that Guardian up for the Aliens United Football Club. Wonderful save! He pushed the Goo ball far enough away to stop my chaps from getting stuck down. They are now clearing out of the area by moving up behind the trees, getting closer to the spikers. The thing is, I have absolutely no intel. No idea what's around me at all, so I need to get closer to see more.

If I stay where I am I'm definitely dead as I wont be able to react quick enough to any incoming enemies.

If I move upwards I'm probably dead, as I'm likely to get shot by that blasted spiker again.

I'll take 'probably' over 'definitely' though.

He withdrew the Goo Spitter, which means he must have a queen up there to recycle it with. I'm sending a last second warp up towards the area with the doorway, which is roughly where the Spitter was heading to, and would make a good spot for a queen to be resting.

Firefighting

My advance warper managed to get his shots off ok. No casualties however, which is a bit annoying.....

I have discovered a major weakpoint with the greys though. Their feet. My warper got shot in the foot by a spiker and it killed him.

I guess Greys really do have an Achilles heel.

The Goo spitter has fired off a few shots towards me, one of which is about to land right in the middle of my grouping.

Time to get the guardian back into the swing of things. With a bit of fiddly timing I'm able to advance the guardian out, flick on the shield and push away the goo ball.

I don't think I'll be doing that again though, and I don't have enough energy left to keep the shield up the whole turn. I'll have to take my chances ... I suppose I could try throwing the shield up at around the 7 second mark, hoping to deflect any other Goo balls heading my way...

My remaining warper is trying to zap the Spitter.

I'm a bit worried about his Queen. He most likely has one somewhere. I managed to destroy a lot of my corpses, but the spiker corpses are too far for my warper to damage. Maybe next turn I'll send a warp up that way to scare him out of that areas egg-wise.
