Wikipedia.org said
Atropa belladonna ..., commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Solanaceae... [It] is one of the most toxic plants found in the Western hemisphere

Traversing a classified vector, an elite UK Special Forces unit crosses a boggy glade on Strike 1 under the veil of night. Nothing can see them, nothing can hear them. Their high-priority target is deep in a valley on the other side of the next steep rocky ridge. Stopping on a 40 degree incline, one crew member disembarks and advances to the ridge on foot with surveillance equipment.

A heat signature.

A visual.

The target zone is confirmed, lightly guarded, but for one unexpected, and most inconvenient piece of heavy armor resting beside the access road that follows the contour of the very base of the valley. Thick, modernized AA density in the region conspires with the close proximity of a neutral nation's border to rule out a tactical drone strike.

The UKSF strike vehicle inches forward, and another joins the scene. Two snipers and two commandos dismount and advance into position. A lone gunner in Strike 2 designates his specific targets, controlling the weapons platforms of both vehicles via wireless link.

All units are in position. The signal is given.

The sound is like that of four enormous matches being lit in succession, followed 1.4 seconds later by a bone-chilling, concussive roar that awakens every living creature under the stars. Two warheads pierce the armored target, turning its interior into an accurate model of Earth's molden core. The other two missiles, HE-tipped, rudely introduce themselves two the main structures in the encampment. Survivors scatter, and the snipers pick them off. The commandos move down to the perimeter and mop up a few remaining soft assets with grenade launchers.

The scout, having hardly moved a muscle since he reached the ridgeline, concludes his surveillance of the textbook operation. All units return safely, and Strike 1 & 2 each return down the treacherous terrain over which they approached.


And to think, it all started with this...

Here we go again, and I mean that in a good way...

JANG will be taking us down a dark path ending up somewhere deep in the twisted caverns of his mind! The good old days of the Daemonsbane and suchlike are upon us once again....

I love it.

ReDevil: Nope, no Warthog shell for this one, I'm going for realism, or at least plausibility. Don't worry, it won't be long before the body is unveiled on this one -- it'll be one of the first few steps. The first couple coats of paint have already dried...

Is this not plausible enough for you?

I know. I have Landfall. That truck has straight solid axles. I would never do a solid-axle vehicle and put a Warthog body on it. It's just... not right. And the "real" (in-game) Warthog design itself has a very fatal suspension flaw that would make it completely implausible IRL.

At any rate, Belladonna has nothing to do with the Warthog or anything Warthog-like.
