Since we don't have briefings for post-18th missions..

Relentless takes place after Obsidian Sands, and basically, the Scorpion Cell forces are under Yuri's control after he destroyed their leader at that point.

The existence of Scorpion Cell brutes kind of puts a hole in the lore.

I assumed that magic Epsilon genetic science gives Brutes a natural instinct to follow Yuri's command, that's why when enemies are hit by Rahn's Terranova, they know exactly who the enemy is and who Yuri is.

So why would Brutes fight for Scorpion Cell?

Unless it's gameplay/lore separation. So in lore, Rahn's gun creates "feral" brutes instead of loyal ones. Epsilon just herds them after a battle and trains them.

I think its just gameplay-wise, not lore-wise.

 

Also, very interesting, I guess we could've guessed ourselves, Scorpions Cells colour was a bit different in Relentless.

Hope you don't mind me being a tad confused, but - 

 

Does Neuromancers happen before or after Obsidian Sands? And is Obsidian Sands mission 20 or 21? Does Machinehead come before or after Obsidian Sands?

 

Neuromancer happens after Obsidian Sands.

Proof: in Neuromancer, the commanders already knew the function of those neuron gas tanks (as discovered in Obsidian Sands).

 

It's mission 21.

 

Not sure, perhaps after Obsidian sands. Both Epsilon bases in Machinehead builds Basilisks, which are first seen armed in Obsidian Sands.

Sorry my mistake, see #427 below

Wait........I thought we didn't get to play the mission Machinehead? O.o

Sorry, I mixed that up with Thread of Dread, I've been thinking about that big siege machine called Centurion.

 

Well in this case, so long as the mission isn't released, we're not sure whether it happens in a timely order (although it seems so).

If we go by Mental Omega 2.0, we'll eventually get to fight the Centurion Seige Crawler.
