Peptalk on Luna

Commander Vindicta paced in front of her elite squad of Moongirls and nodded her head gravely.

"Moongirls, you've been chosen for lunar combat for several reasons:

One, you have shown grace in the face of adversity, in spite of your inability to use technological advances available here on our darkside base. Two, you have comprehension in the laws of Universe and mental plasticity in your unlearning the garbage that passes for commonsense on Earth. Three, You are tough without armoring your personas. Four, you're kickass fighters.

"Now, as you know, the psuedo-crypto-masonic group we oppose, the Aryadites, are preparing an attack, encouraged by a new fighter at their disposal. By way of a defector, actually a mole in their organization who met an untimely end and was turned into one of these creatures, we've learned the following. They are recycling their numbers by mummifying their remains and resurrecting them with genetically engineered cancer-like cells. The tissues they comprise resemble earthworms as can be seen in this diagram. They act like muscle tissue, actively expanding and contracting as the need demands. These mummies cannot be killed with ballistic weapons, as the tissues all have some degree of independence and any wound quickly heals over. Even weapons that scramble tissues have little effect. Weapons that explode are messy and we don't like that either.

"There is a fuel cell comprised of chicken livers mixed with spent nuclear fuels located in the lower abdomen. Our tactic will be to paralyze the necrotic tissue with an orgone blast, then use a plasma burp to melt the power cell. Your orgone auto-stim harness will be fitted cables that lead to these devices. You can see how the orgone will collect in this chamber here. The device will have an aqua glow when fully charged. For full effect, do not discharge until then. These devices are also fully approved for wargames and sexplay, as they are completely safe for use on healthy tissues.

"The weapons are only viable at close range. As you know the Aryadites are fond of artillery and close range weapons. We will employ guerilla tactics to close in on the mummies. We will utilize craterbunkers and traphatches, tubing our way through tunnels to their landing site. If you have any other questions, ask your karass leader."

"Commander?"

"Yes, Luna."

"Will we have a chance to avenge our fallen leader?"

"I sincerely hope so."
