#JOHN OLIVER MVP OF RIMWORLD

[stalebagels]

Update on the Strike Force Rimworld colony; they've been betrayed by a group of four people claiming to be refugees of an organ farming operation :)

(This is a new save file, I added some mods to the game and of course Seth doesn't have the damn mini gun when this happens)

So, I accepted four refugees into the colony for what was supposed to be five days. They were fine for the first three, did a lot of work and were actually very helpful. However, I get a notification and it tells me that the four refugees had been planning to betray us all along and then they set the base on fire and started attacking everyone.

Jon and Stephen got stuck fighting right next to one of the burning workshops and I was dumb enough to have built a too narrow hallway in that section and it quickly became apparent it was not the best area to be having a shootout with someone. Guy gets too close and Jon gets the everloving shit beat out of him until he's downed, but not to discredit him he did plenty of damage before then - enough so that Stephen only needed to fire a couple of shots before the guy went down. Unfortunately, the fire spread so much by then that they were both now suffering from heatstroke and being roasted alive. Stephen went down while he was trying to patch Jon up. It was all very traumatic for everyone involved especially them.

While all of this is happening down the hallway, Kimmel is on his way to equip a pistol from a weapon rack when another one of the traitors attacks him. They're too close to each other and the other guy has a steel mace so Kimmel is unfortunately pretty helpless and also gets the everloving shit beat out of him until Craig and Seth come in and shoot her.

Speaking of Craig and Seth; they were actually outside dealing with the other two traitors while Kimmel, Stephen, and Jon were inside the base. Craig and Seth teamed up and killed off the leader and protected John, Conan, and Fallon (who were also outside when it started and hidden inside of a nearby cave because they're incapable of violence) before they went in to help Kimmel, and then afterwards the last traitor panicked and tried to flee. Craig and Seth didn't let him and that's probably not my proudest moment but I was very invested and felt personally slighted by this betrayal and I wasn't gonna let him leave while he still had their FOOD IN HIS POCKETS that they MADE FOR THEM👹👹👹

Once the living threats were dealt with, John, Conan, and Fallon (as the only uninjured members) went in to save Jon, Stephen, and Kimmel. Craig and Seth tended to themselves while John hauled Kimmel to the hospital, Conan rescued Jon, and Fallon grabbed Stephen. Conan and Fallon both got burnt because of the fire while doing so but they managed to get everyone out of immediate danger. (I was absolutely panicking at this point because I was almost certain someone would die before they could get them to the hospital beds)

And then it was John's turn to be the MVP again because that little man worked his ass off stabilizing everyone; bouncing back and forth between Jon, Stephen, and Kimmel while the others did their best to tend to themselves.

And then, finally, once everyone was stable and not in immediate danger of dying and I started to wonder what to do about the massive fire, it started to fucking RAIN and I'm not exaggerating it felt like I just went through the entire plot of a movie in ten minutes. I went through all five stages of grief during this thing. I actually paused the game and sat back afterwards.

And then when I came back I saw a text bubble pop up with Conan proudly exclaiming that "Something tells me that tomorrow everything will go my way!" God I hope so.

TL;DR - Jon and Stephen had a dramatic and touching moment where they nearly both burned to death trying to save each other, Craig and Seth were the two badass fighters that took down the threats, John saved everyone's asses for the fifteenth time, and Fallon proved he was good for something after all.
