⚠️ PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
📡 COURTESY OF YOUR GENERAL 🪖
Omega Helldivers, it has been brought to the attention of Super Earth High Command that certain officers aboard Super Destroyers have been spreading false rumors regarding the presence of a long-extinct alien species from the southern rim of the galaxy.
Due to the Omega Sector’s location along the southern rim, I wanted to inform you that all rumors being presented are certifiably false, and any officers or Helldivers found spreading such rumors should be reported to the nearest Democracy Officer or to Super Earth High Command directly.
Truth is a pillar of Democracy, your effort is integral to maintaining its stability!
[This concludes Super Earth High Command’s Public Service Announcement.]

Helldiver AU (I have the idea that each HD respawns as their own person so Jaune would respawn as jaune, etc)
Jaune is a fresh recruit, tends to get separated and swarmed by bugs. Pyrrha is a skilled and veteran diver. Taken Jaune under her wing. Ren - scout and likes to use the stratos to hit targets deep in enemy territory. Nora is...Nora.
Damn... If only I played Helldivers... or Helldivers II. Oh well, might as well give it the ol' college try with some Helldiver schtuff I found layin' 'round!
------------------------------------------------------
Ren: ...V1, we have a situation over here.
Nora: What's the situation, R2?
Ren: V1, there's a bio-titan spotted on the premises.
Nora: Great! Where is it?
Ren: Right over there, Nora.
Nora: (Sees Grimm with huge "liberties") Oh! She... He... THEY are so... democratic!
Ren: ...
Nora: ...Treason?
Ren: Treason.

Jaune: Spartan Veteran, sir!
Pyrrha: Cadet.
Jaune: Thank you again for letting me come along this operation! Sir!
Pyrrha: Don't sweat it. (Panting) We still need to launch the ICBM.
Jaune: We've got this, sir!
Pyrrha: (Stumbles) Ogh...
Jaune: Sir?! Are you okay?! You're breathing heavily, sir!
Pyrrha: Yes, Cadet, I'm fine. I'm just a little winded. It's so hard to breathe in this heavy armor.
Jaune: Ah... I see. Well, should we retu-
Pyrrha: (Loosens chestplate, Reveals double democracies) Ah... Much better... Let's keep going. There's fifteen minutes remaining.
Jaune: S... Sweet mother of liberty...

Jaune: Check this out, V1! Our new best friend, Guard Dog Zwei!
Nora: Aw, he's so cute for a death machine turret~!
Jaune: AHAHAHA! YES! SPIN FOR US, DOGGY! SPIN FOR LIBERTY! SPIN FOR DEMOCRACY! See, V1? With Zwei on our team, there's no way any of thos terrible Grimm will get anywhere close to us!
Nora: AAAAIE~!
Jaune: V1? What's wrong? Are you... Oh... BY THE FOUNDING FATHERS!
Nora: (Half-naked, Sticky) B-Boss... If you wanted to "celebrate," couldn't you have waited until we got back to your quarters?
Jaune: V1! I-
Nora: This is just so... forward of you...
Jaune: Uh, if you just let me explain, Zwei was just-
Nora: Well... If it's with you, Boss... Then I'll do it~!
Jaune: Wait, what?
Pyrrha: (Via comms) Oh my "Boss," I wish you were that bold with me~!.
Jaune: YOU'RE NOT HELPING SPARTAN ADMIRAL!
Pyrrha: Of course, of course. Just call me if you need... A-NY-THING~!.

The missing 'decimal separator' plug-in for the Galactic War map was recently recovered in an encrypted SSSD Hard Drive.
Super Commas have been to your Ship's systems, making it easier to read the inspiring number of Helldivers that have sacrificed their lives for liberty.

So I've been playing a lot of Helldivers II, and it's really fun!
(at least, it is when the servers are working lmao)
Tumblr media
However: there is one thing about the game that annoys me. It's the same thing that always annoys me whenever drop pods are mentioned in science fiction.
Nobody ever seems to get them right!
Tumblr media
Whenever drop pods show up, they always seem to depict each pod as a single projectile rocketing towards the surface of a planet, usually behind enemy lines. They're the logical sci fi evolution of airborne infantry dropping in by parachute, because a lot of military sci fi tropes have trouble moving past WWII. And, y'know, that's fine. That's not the issue I have.
The issue is the single projectile part.
It's almost like every writer who includes drop pods forget that anti-aircraft weapons and SAM sites are currently a thing in the real world and would almost certainly still exist and be better in the science fiction space future. Those drop pods rocketing towards the surface would present the juiciest targets imaginable and would almost certainly get shot out of the sky before they even got close to impacting on the surface.
Annoyingly, the only sci fi that I know of to ever get drop pods right is the first one to ever do it: the Starship Troopers novel by Robert Heinlein.
Now, say what you will about Heinlein - and I do, quite often. For the most part, he's not that great of a writer, and his politics are terrible. The man was an asshole who loved writing wet farts of fascist porn, and the novel absolutely pales in comparison to Paul Verhoeven's 1998 masterpiece of satire, where he took one look at the book, rolled his eyes, and started making jerk-off motions.
But when I first read the novel when I was, like, 6 years old, I was a dumbass child and didn't notice (or care) about the... I mean, I'd call it "fascist subtext" except that it's literally just The Text. No, what drew me in was the one singular thing Heinlein was actually good at writing: technical sequences, written from an in-universe lens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way he described how the drop pods actually work in the first few pages of the novel - and, more importantly, how they don't immediately get shot out of the sky - is great! It makes sense, it's easy to understand (because Johnny Rico is, let's be honest: an idiot, he's not going to give you a complicated explanation), and it fills in a plot hole you never realized was there.
For as many faults as the man had as both a writer and a human being, and for all the many problems the rest of the book has, that first chapter - and specifically the drop pod sequence - is a great hook.
Like, this is the template for drop pods. This is The Thing that people are referencing whenever drop pods show up in sci fi, like in fucking Halo, or Starcraft, or Warhammer 40k. And everyone always seems to forget the single most important thing about this infantry delivery system: the countermeasures.
I dunno. This is just one of those things that's always annoyed me.
