Silent Storm — Mission 15: Yep, They Make Swords For Panzerkleins

silent_storm_title

That settles it. If Thor’s Hammer can mass produce panzerkleins, we need to end their operation for good.

ss_portrait_doughatDon’t be hasty! I’d, um… very much like to see what else these suits can do.

ss_portrait_bogeyYeah, why head home when the six of us can basically win the war by ourselves?

That’s not our job. While the Allies and the Axis duke it out, Thor’s Hammer can grow unopposed. Whichever side wins the war, they won’t be able to stand up to the Hammer. This is not about the war. It’s about what happens afterward.

You’re right, I guess. But…

But we’re a few blocks away from a German weapons factory…

So… while we’re in the neighborhood…

Imagine how many things we could blow up!

Fine. If it will shut you up, you boys can have five more minutes of play time.

We found out about this factory a few missions ago, but it’s not really an important target anymore. The engines for Koch’s rocket ship were made here, and all sorts of newfangled weapons are presumably being constructed here as well, but the panzerkleins? The scientists working on those are up in Russia, and the factory that’s actually producing them — probably in Switzerland.

So this mission is fairly pointless. It’s mostly just another chance to destroy a whole lot of stuff with our wildly overpowered PKs.

ss_20_04

Er… if everything wasn’t already destroyed. What.

ss_20_05

Yeah, the entire factory is rubble. It’s been attacked, but by who we don’t know.

One of the guards who’s left mistakes us for the attackers — and sounds the alarm.

ss_20_07

Couldn’t you have shot that guy a second sooner?

Sorry, boss. Th’ cutscene froze up ma trigger finger.

ss_20_02

Whatever damage the place has sustained, it’s still got a sizable standing force. I’d be concerned, except…

ss_20_08

We’ve got one better.

ss_20_09

Yeah, I think we’ll be fine.

The enemies are all over the place. They pop out of holes in every building and they’re shooting down from the roofs.

ss_20_10

We’d be in actual danger if it wasn’t for the PKs. While Zinaida and Doug forge ahead in their suits, Viper handles the soldiers on the rooftops.

Half a dozen dead bodies later, we’ve made it to the burnt out truck where the command staff is hanging out.

ss_20_11

ss_20_12

Well, that’s a few more dead bodies right there. We’re just a bunch of murderers here on Team Bogey.

So we’ve completed one of our objectives, if anyone actually cares.

ss_20_13

The PKs head inside the main building to find the documents for the other one.

ss_20_14

It’s not any less destroyed in there. Whoever was here before us was thorough.

Makes me almost feel bad to finish these guys off after they just survived such a massive assault minutes before we got here.

ss_20_15

ss_20_16

Almost.

In the basement, we find a bunch of panzerklein weapons… Including a giant sword.

ss_20_19

But it doesn’t seem like most of them will work with our PKs, and the sword, as radical as it is, would never be much use. Oh well.

Also down here — our second objective:

ss_20_17

GENERAL UWE B–

O-oh.

Oh. Nevermind. I got really excited there, but it looks like the facility is commanded by Uwe Muller, not Uwe Boll.

Man, that would have explained all the holes around here. And why no one had any idea what was going on. And also why you could have skipped this whole episode and not missed anything important.

…get it? Like a Uwe Boll movie?

On to the next episode!
