Sick Child Stratagem

[Yaltiaj]

Seeing as we're rescuing our fellow crayon eaters here's some ways we can put them to work for Super Earth.


Homing Bug Hole Terminator:
A coughing child equipped with two grenades. Their natural small size makes them perfect for running through crowds of Terminids to reach and detonate within bug holes.

Sample Runner/ Retriever:
Dropped your samples near a cluster of enemies? A child is a smaller target to hit and is less likely to be noticed, so instead of running out there yourself and getting immediately spotted and turned into swiss cheese send the child. The Automatons probably won't shoot them anyway.

Distraction:
If you're getting chased call-in a distraction child. The sound of the drop pod landing will catch your pursuers attention and they'll chase the child instead of you. The little booger will prove to be a wiley target being able to slip between tight spaces and have a much easier time hiding than you would.


What other uses do you think a sick child stratagem could have in a combat zone?

They already work for Super Earth. They are responsible for sewing Helldiver capes and singing hymns of liberty over them as they work.

That is surprisingly reasonable. I suppose Super Earth can keep the biological re-processors reserved for the elderly.

You're from the government so it makes sense youd use sick children

Hmmm. we almost get new termicide. and now we have useless sick children. hmmm...

[Mulqueeny]

No they need to get back in the mines.

[DtHouse]

Maybe they will be a new generations of Helldivers in future. Who know, or we can simply use them as meat shield on some planet as front liners xD

Look i'm not impling anything but there is a thing in Warhammer you can at best describe as Goblin Kamikazee Catapult, where the golbin is used as ammunition and try's to flap his wings to land in a target.
So maybe a better Rocketpods?

We need no bonus reward for this objective at all.

It's about showing we still have morals, and that is its own reward.

We have Democracy and Liberty, why the hell do we need morals?
"Moral save me"? pff.
