My Thoughts
Think I’m pretty screwed here, TD can get a Omegacron to finish the game. So I suppose I need to kill Geiger? Only way to do that would be trade off the Nullcraft or double off Plexus w/ Mad Man and Rambaster… I suppose I tech to just get through patrol and get rid of Hyperion as much as possible, play for hero’s hall, take away the TD and try to see what I can do…
