Thanks and you just reminded me that Contact Harvest exists.

Yes, there's other pictures of them doing a litter carry. I'd presume doing a roll over to get the casualty into a position to be put in the litter. Seeing that they are wearing JSLIST I'd presume this is a chemical environment simulation, which likely means not dealing with bloodsweeps or any other treatment, and focusing on very quickly moving the casualty to a decontamination line for emergency decon.

Picture unrelated to your question.

The Orban cares not.

I dropped off after Ghosts Of Onyx. I found the original books to be nice, breezy lightweight military scifi that was entertaining and easy to read when I wasn't in a mood for deep themes.

How do any of the newer books fare?

It's raining again.

I thought he was just getting fat.

Dark Future is a later Citadel car combat game, and better known among the GW grog circles. Probably because by then the designers had more practice, and because the Dark Future world had originally been intended for an RPG so it was more fleshed out.

I sourced from arthive.

It was the cover art for an expansion to Games Workshop's Dark Future game from the 1980s.

Both The Thing (1982) and Alien (1979) if taken as stand alone works and not viewed with the hindsight of any later added material are very Lovecraftian. Not just in vibe and surface aesthetic, but in the central mythos thesis that learning more about the universe and scratching away at the sleeping secrets never ends well for humanity.

For gaming, I'd add Stasis and Stasis: Bone Totem (shudder especially Bone Totem) to games that follow the central themes of Lovecraft without explicitly placing themselves in the mythos.

Laundry is comfy. Shrimple as that.

Sounds good for foundation activity to keep it going. I'd recommend cross posting to !sciencefiction@lemmy.world too help help get more eyeballs. This is the first I've seen of this community because I happened to be browsing new when you made the post.

But you won't do it again? Right? Right?!

Crime. Crime never changes.

I get they exist but usually you just here about on job and then nothing else. Why is that?

High profile assassinations by lone individuals usually end with the killer getting caught or killed. Usually not an action undertaken by someone of sound and professional mind. If you want to read up on the careers of long time hitmen, you can find books on them for sure, but the kinds of killings they do aren't usually national news.

needs moar pouches!

The Feldian mercenaries are coming.

This is a good hitman figure to highlight. Notable he had KGB and Stasi support, rather than working for random individuals. One off hitmen for random individuals are a thing, and I'm sure at least a few of them have done repeat business, but most prolific hitmen do jobs for organizations for sure.
