Well, this is the first time in a while I've had opportunity to leave an entry - the assaults on the Rogue Isles are nearly non-stop and I have barely slept. During the time I haven't been on the front lines, I have managed to craft a prototype rudimentary psychic shield from the remains of Rikti Assault Forces and also perfected the stealth field generation from the ZR Force Wing technology.
The only other thing of note is that trying to herd heroes is much akin to herding cats! I have been, on several occasions, asked by Vanguard to lead multiple assault teams on to the saucer in the Rikti War Zone to plant bombs and keep the damned thing grounded.
This means, destroying all the Rikti Pylons set up to maintain the ships' shielding and then blasting into a likely looking grate to plant the bomb. Of course, your average hero doesn't know a strategy if it comes up and bites them on their spandex-clad asses, so I've been shouting directions!
I've been fairly successful at placing the bombs - a combination of my Personal Forcefield and the prototype psychic shielding has worked a treat. Alas, on multiple occasions I and my assault teams have been faced off against the giant Rikti U'kon Gr'ai - their Master at Arms.
It seems that when he finds he can no longer keep us occupied, and he incapacitated form is teleported off the ship surface, Rikti repair systems re-establish the Pylons and shielding and force us off the hull.
We must work on a way to keep the shields down longer so we can do more damage to the invaders!
.. and mine is science. Kind of a busmans holiday really. I took time away from my weapons research in order to assist Vanguard with their Rikti autopsies.
