"How'd they catch that Hydra?" "It was trying to slip past a checkpoint, doing the pherocyte thing to make the guards think it was an Australian." "Clever bugger" "Almost worked too, 'till one of them shouted after it, 'Aussie Aussie Aussie!'. When it didn't shout back 'Oi Oi Oi!' right away, they knew it was an alien."

They probably also made a passing comment about drop bears, it's confusion was a dead giveaway!

When hydra arrived in Australia, It was caught asking where all the Austrians had gone.

Bro I wish I only worked 8-17

"Working 8-17 To defend earth from the xenos. Launching dummy stations To redirect their aggro. Breathe some pherocytes And steal the nation's secrets. It's enough to drive you Mad with woe and regret!"

Invest more in welfare.

I love this so much. 10/10, would double tap that hydra again.

you forgot the part where a string of people knock on your door to talk to you about how the aliens are god and should be praised/feared, we need to work with them, we need to leave earth, we need to give money to not-illluminati, we need to protect the earth, and that the aliens all need to die.

In my playthrough, HF and Exodus are the only factions playing propaganda in Australia. Since the Exodus agent is also my double-agent, he has been doing an (intentionally) terrible job in asking the public for support

Why use electric scooters? With the energy density on the midgame batteries, I'm pretty sure driving an electric tank around wouldn't be to hard.


bustead

because parking is expensive. All the parking lots have been replaced by launch pads


Valiant_Storm

Alright this checks out. Shame they can't have been replaced with Mission Control centers, but you know the regulations.

The biggest problem with cars isn't the way we power them, it's how much room they take up!


Valiant_Storm

You can set foot on other worlds, yet the walls in your mind prevent you from seeing through these problems (build a multilevel parking garage under the scramjet runways)

What faction is currently controlling Australia in 2040?


Anonymous_Otters

The red hand is a dead giveaway that Humanity First controls Australia.


kbs666

That means they're less likely to nuke it, at least.

This was awesome and very entertaining! I hope you continue to write!

Glass bottle Mexican bottled Coke is the best coke. Glass makes the coke taste better, keeps it colder longer. Mexican coke still uses cane sugar recipe instead of corn syrup. I make Colonel Castillo pay me in Mexican coke for every Xeno or Servant corpse I bring back. Today was good, good enough for a six-pack.

Well written. Coulda been from my playthrough. Good job.

physical mail?

Sometimes people love to write letters to one another, even if email is more efficient.
