Before I start my new character, I wanna lay out of how “Adan ‘Weed-Eater’ Stafford”, started his journey of becoming a weed killer specialist from 5 months ago, and ending his career/profession as the weed killer specialist - or more known now - the chem-gas specialist today.
The dates arent strictly historically accurate to the dates they shouldve actually happened, these are based on what I remember.
I know I’m (my character) not that famous to make this long as hell cryo-sleep story, but come on, let me write one hehe.
A soldier’s beginning.
April 19, 2025.
In the CM13 discord, approximately 8 months after he enlisted in the USCM force, he has grown tired of simply walking forward into the xenomorph lines and holding the trigger. Well, not holding the trigger most of the time, he mostly used his shotgun to blow out the brains of his targets or at least knock them down to the ground.
So I asked in #gameplay-help:
“Am I allowed to use welding fuel-sprayers to clear weeds?”
Few people elaborate that its not rule breaking, not common knowledge, and pointed out that many of the unga marines would ibstead prefer a second gun taking their back slot.
I asked if theres a way to spread weed killer more easily and farther; they answered the backpack watertank. 500 unit, 5-tiles outwards range.
This is truly when Adan Stafford has opened his mind out of the box. Round after round, especially in LV-624, he’d spray welding fuel everywhere, coating the walls and dirt with residue of the welding fuel he aptly preferred to call “weed killer”…and occasionally setting marines on fire who are smoking around him. But none the less, he was every drone and hivelord’s dread and dirty fly. The weed nodes they just plopped down? Gone. Again? Gone. Weeds under walls destroyed, walls gone and cannot be replaced immediately. This made the xeno players angry because they havent seen this type of thing from a muhrine, even more so this wide spread, they were denied of their life line! Adan left their residue of weed killer in their path of resin destruction, marking their first appearance as a rather minor-factor in winning the marine’s operations/rounds. He even got a distinguished medal from Major Tank Moore during the operations of LV-624.
Adan Stafford hasnt slowed down, he only just got more proficient at spreading his weed killer on the xenos, denying them of territory and advantage. His appearance grew bit by bit, but not caring if he ever got famous from such work. “Stop abusing legacy shit on god.” Said one player, he staff-ticketed if weed killer was added on purpose, and alas it was. He wasnt scared anymore to spray it everywhere he can now. Past this point, he’ll be discovering whatever things that may yield any usefulness to him.
May 25, 2025.
A research main in the discord pinged me.
“Try using flamer smoke tanks.”
And then the conversation on how to execute this idea lasted a little around 50 messages. 50 more in #gameplay-help, after asking whats the best way to carry welding fuel. Welding kits. Vey mobile. 600 units is alot. 200 shots of flame smoke.
This new found way to deny xenos of their resin weeds sparked something deep within Adan Stafford. Smoke tanks… Accepts every chemical in the game. But that was only a spark of it, so he doesnt know the potential this has.
In the first day he used the smoke flamer to spread weedkiller, it was… rather devastating to xenos. Drones and hivelords couldnt build or even weed in the smoked area for… 10 whole seconds! If tou think about it, you can hold the same spot for quite the while… the same spot? Oh, those chokes in LV-624 of course! The path is de-weeded preventing xenos from having advantage in attacking the cades holding the hell chokes. God forbid him from being so careless, because the smoke rapidly dealt damage by naking marines inhale toxins. But he simple resolved this by providing tons of gad masks pre-drop on the alamo. News of the red gas (weed killer) spread bit by bit between rounds since the first day of the weedkiller gas. So in the end, all was well, issue resolved with just a touch up of gas masks on the marines. “I dont wanna wear my gas mask because it ruins my drip.” Your choice. It’s a drip or vomit your organs every round Adan Stafford is actively spewing weed killer gas. Its not too later that he’d discover something much much more lethal.
May 26, 2025.
I was pinged again. But this time, it finally unlocked the potential of Adan Stafford of being the most lethal, area weed denial, and crowd control of a man.
In the pinging message, Adan Stafford was told to use CLF3, an instant-igniting chemical was burns out quickly. A necessary ingredient for mass permanently-dead bodies. Another round later, CLF3 gas was doing it’s thing; melting resin in a large area, but also scare away xenos from entering the gas! Most xenos did not dare to enter the blue gas, aside from ravagers, elder xenos, and crooshers. It was a step higher of being lethal to xenos, but also to marines; bodies inside the gas rapidly accumulate burn, brute, fractures, and toxic damage! Any marine unlucky enough to stay inside the gas for 20 seconds are considered permanentally dead due to the amount of damage already suffered, high enoug that a single medic is not enough to revive the victim. Adan eventually dropped this type of weed killer due to the FF lethality, and how much work and waiting he had to endure to get a bucket of CLF3.
June 11, 2025.
The day Adan ‘Weed-Eater’ Stafford unofficially claimed his role-title of being the Weed Killer Specialist. He was joked about being the 5th specialist, but nonetheless he took that as a complement.
He also dropped the gas form of weed killer in the same day, returning to his rapid spraying weed killer backpack watertank.
But today, is a bit different. Queen Mother is field testing the new strain for hivelord; Designer. It uses nodes to support other building castes! Especially that purple node…
Those purple nodes create flaky walls that last until the weeds under them get removed, or get destoyed normally. But you know what destroys weeds? The Weed Killer Specialist. Adan just melts through the walls, over and over, he wouldnt stop, he’s the point man for pushing towards the flaky walls, he’s the juggenaut against weeds! The walls melted behind the running xenos he chases after, scaring some of them away.
“SMOKING TWICE: THE SERVER ALMOST CRASHED” incident.
August 20, 2025.
On the forums, I found Bushman’s weed killer nuke.
Adan wanted to try this big weed killer nuke; as he loves weed killer in any form.
On the groundside of hybrisa, he prepped his tank filled with the ingredients for the smoke-weed kill nuke.
As soon as the chems mixed, everything froze. The players, xenos, even bullets, froze in place. 6 seconds later, everything slowly jittered back into place.
Adan Stafford was confused on why did this happen, but also forgot to add the weed killer it self in the nuke! How forgetful he is…
So he tries it again… and then…
The game freezes. Marines xenos bulldts admins chats all froze in place. 10 seconds laterz everything went back to normal. Every was weirding out why the fuck was everything freezing in place twice in a row.
Adan suddenly contacts High Command:
“Uh… the world stopping… might have been caused by me.”
And then, the weed killer nuke in the forums was finally removed until the issue with the smoke lagging the whole game and server it self to almost crashing it.
Nutriment Arc
September 18, 2025.
Adan saw a medic spraying nutriment gas on a bleeding marine. His brain and eyes popped out cartoon-style wowzah awooga heehehahaha- or something of the likes.
He then begand grinding food vendor after vendor making endless amount of nutriment in buckets.
Then he proceeded to spray everyone with nutriment, rendering everyone not being hungry!!! As well as a passive regenerarion of 0.5 brute every 2 seconds… THAT LASTS FOR THE WHOLE OPERATION! He never ran out of nutriment so he just sprayed everyone with nutriment! What a good man he is! He is so selfless he started feeding everyone delicious air! Surely this wont end in something… rather… unnatural, enough to gain the attention of high command… right..?
“The 1 hr 23 minutes of Nutriment goodness!”
“-GRACIOUS WHY ARE YOU INFLATED WITH NUTRIMENT!” -Alpha Corpseman.
September 23, 2025.
After Adan was done doing nutriment gas; he thought to him self:
No hunger… infinite healing… infinite blood regeneration… what do I need… infinite… time..?
And then he calculated 500 units of nutriment in the body equalling to… 1 HOUR AND 23 MINUTES of the following:
0.5 brute regeneration every 2 seconds. (Curing bleeding at full health as well as a complementary effect.)
Blood regeneration.
No hunger slowdown.
Adan was flabber gasted, and seeing how you can easily get 2 buckets of 500 nutriment units in just a single marine food vendor. He is never getting hungry for the whole operation! Free tricord-brute healing as well! Pure ecstatic happiness filled both his face and mind. But this would only increase in power the next day…
The “Nutriment-Brute Healing Stim” Chaos Day.
September 24, 2025.
I found out that subtypes of nutriment also provided healing. And so… the story goes.
Adan decided to grind up MRE boxes instead. He decided that there are many different sub-composers contained in MREs. He grinded and grinded. Put the liquidized mess into a canister. And stabbed himself with the nutriment stim every time he needs to heal
For 3 operations, Adan ‘Weed-Eater’ Stafford is effectively healing 7.5 brute every 2 seconds.
-…whenever he felt like it.
With less bicaridine and bandages to carry, he has more space for ointment and kelotane! Truly a mad man of ingenuity he is.
Not long after 3 operations, Adan got the attention of High Command, and shut down his great antics.
Everyone now somehow vomits when they eat too much, as opposed it wasnt happening the last few months somehow.
OPERATION: “Brain Destroyer Gas”; Regret and Cry.
Today, september 30, 2025, at Round ID 30153.
I just found about xenos abilities can be disabled by a simple, easily produced chemical! But… the story as goes…
Adan woke up, and learned about a certain chemical’s ability to disrupt xeno’s abilities; in his dream.
He pulled up his smoke spraying loadout and asked research to make this specific chemical. He deploys, and only 10 minutes into the battle field, multiple marines have suffered brain damage from an unknown source. Adan eventually knew he was the cause of it, people angrily told Adan to stop his antics. Adan, being a humble man, was hit with heart-piercing words he never knew before since his enlistment (wow, this long?), realizing his antics was the cause for this dangerous damage being done in the marines, he drops his flamer, emptied the canister and the last bucket of the xeno-ability disabling chemical. His final words were… “Sorry for what I have done.”, he muttered silently. Grabbing a nearby napalm canister and his holstered Auto Pistol, he ran out of the cades and ran into the xeno lines crying of regret, never to be seen again… his remains stay below the ground in White Antres Research Facility, a newly assigned operation AO given by the We-Yu.
The end of a great soldier.
The journey of Adan ‘Weed-Eater’ Stafford, Weed Killer Specialist, ends here. Approximately 1 year of enlistment into the USCM, died during ‘Operation: ”Detour Option-Delta” ‘ anguish and regret, in the planet aptly named “White Antres Research Facility”.
When a marine goes AWOL, a new one takes it’s place; A new story.
There are no good-bye words for anyone in specific. But thank you for assisting, talking with, shooting with, and supporting Adan ‘Weed-Eater’ Stafford in his endeavours ever since his weed-killing antics became known.
As he says during his private-rank years;
“May their soul be protected until their paradise.”
My character will under go rehabilitation of the psychologal trauma he gave himself in the after life.
You won’t be seeing him for a while, but a certain marine will be taking his place.
