So we were on ns_caged, aliens had just got the 3rd hive, someone had sneaked off to vent and got a phase up, we then rushed and killed the hive after which we all were slaughtered.
Aliens are now down to two hives for the moment and we are alamoing in marine start. After much yelling at scooter he finally gives me a welder (apparently he wasn't paying attention to textchat :p), and after failing to get human laddered into the MS vent I get dropped a pack of mines which I get along with a fallen shotgun and work my way into the vent. At the corner I meet a skulk who promptly gets some buckshot in the face. Scooter dropps a CC just outside the vent in upper sewer which I build, I drop an IP in the vent at the vertical section, build that, and weld myself in.
Marine start had already begun to fall while I was doing this and everyone was soon respawning in our little fort. Someone mentions that greenground is out in purification station so I get in the CC through the closed vent (ogm aboos D: [but it lead to much fun >_>]) and drop green an armory followed by an obs and arms lab. My CC dies before I get around to beaconing and green wanders off and dies after awhile.
We are now locked in the vent with armor 2 and weapons 3 (aliens never did find the sekrat upgrade outpost). We hold our ground for about 10 minutes killing skulks and fades after which we begin boosting ourselves up the vent and back towards MS. All this time we had been keeping my welder alive to weld the IP. At one point near the end we alllllllmost got out into MS but were 1 player short for the ladder. Shortly after this the aliens finally figure out they can take care of us with a train of fades, of which we killed 3 or 4.
All total we lasted about 15-20 minutes I think and got around 75-80 res from the kills. All the marines were having great fun along with most of the aliens as far as I could tell given there wasn't any complaining. (*cough*except for rad*cough*:p)
Finally, pix of our fort! :D (game ended around the 48 min mark, these were taken somewhere in the first half of our endeavor)

Haha, I remember that too. The lerk wanted him to live, so we had to do it ourselves.
ABS: I think it was the same game. I know it was on caged too.
