Was running a Mender Lazarus TF with Omega Flight on Champion server this Sunday... we began quoting liberally from a certain Tarantino flick and I realized - hey, I can make a homage arc called:

Inglorious Blasterds!
Arc ID: 329428
Villain: 5th Column
Levels: 40-50
Length: Very Long. 5 Missions
Difficulty: Hard. Includes two Defeat-All missions and one AV mission for the finale.
Summary: My name is Witty Librarian and I'm putting together a special team, and I need me eight heroes. Eight cape-wearing heroes. Now, y'all might've heard rumors about the armada happening soon. Well, we'll be leaving a little earlier. We're gonna be dropped into Faultline, dressed as civilians. And once we're in enemy territory, as a bushwhacking guerrilla army, we're gonna be doing one thing and one thing only... defeating Nacht. Now, I'm the direct descendant of Patrick Macgruder. That means I got a little Librarian in me. And our battle plan will be that of a Librarian resistance. We will be cruel to the 5th Column, and through our cruelty they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the dangling, knock-backed, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us. And the 5th Column won't not be able to help themselves but to imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our rocket boots, and the edge of our broad swords. And the 5th Column will be sickened by us, and the 5th Column will talk about us, and the 5th Column will fear us. And when the 5th Column closes their eyes at night and they're tortured by their subconscious for the evil they have done, it will be with thoughts of us they are tortured with. Sound good?
The Blasterds: YES, SIR!
Witty: That's what I like to hear. But I got a word of warning for all you would-be warriors. When you join my command, you take on debt. A debt you owe me personally. Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Nacht scalps. (dramatic pause) And I want my scalps.

Oh, a word of warning - I've tried debugging it on test, and hopefully got all the map issues and rescue captive issues figured out. But you never know, there might be a plot twist or two...
