AC Blockbuster rampage

I never noticed before that this stage is a parking garage, but all the car spaces are the width of an AC... O_o

Another potential No.1111 prototype/ancestor, named after a dead rental chain this time. Stinger must be meddling with the Arena's stereo again. 11:47 to 12:02 - It's a good thing you're invulnerable during this or there wouldn't be much AP left. "You're pretty strong, but this is where it ends." _15 seconds later..._ "Yes...for YOU!" 12:28 - Wait. Wouldn't this have been a good chance for [REDACTED] to kill the player? They literally has to do *nothing* here but wait, or set the bombs off early if the Raven gets suspicious.

@@foenrik8941 the AC1 version of No.1111 if you will. Dynamite Bull does evoke those vibes, now that you mention it. Also, I assume the part where the Barracuda appears to retrieve you is right after the mission itself. Meaning, either the time of the player’s setting of the bombs to killing Locagos coincided perfectly with the time it took for the bombs go off (at least lore wise), or they realized there was no way they could defuse the bomb & just let it happen, which is the simpler explanation lol

@@touchgrasspeep What I mean to say is, if the bombs are powerful enough to kill us if we stick around, -Nine Ball- Lana could just say she's sending the transport but not do it and let the bombs deal with us for her. Or just remote detonate them herself.

Yea but then the plot of the game would end right then & there, and it wouldn't be as fun. And at this point in time, H̶u̶s̶t̶l̶e̶r̶ O̶n̶e̶ Lana was still your operator at this time, so I believe they still needed to recover you so as to maintain the guise of actually looking after you (ofc I know that's bullshit), which is why they still sent in the transport. My theory is that Lana also sent Locagos in as a way to tie up loose ends, so when that didn't work out as planned, they decided 'ok that didn't go as planned, never mind, I'll find another way to get rid of him'. Given what we saw about the bombs, it's unlikely H̶u̶s̶t̶l̶e̶r̶ O̶n̶e̶ Lana would be able to detonate them remotely as they were timed. And even if they were to pretend to send the transport, it's likely the PC would catch on and become suspicious, and will find a way to book out of there regardless. I know I typed up a whole-ass essay, but hey...that's the fun of it, innit?
