| - | The Summoner will request Liftic at a default delay of 7 frames or just over 4 packets a second. This is fast but you need 150 for the cheapest VAU, the Auto Station, and 350 for the lovable Fighter, the 2nd cheapest. This value is a variable within the script that can be altered for PAC maps as a 7 frame request delay leads to a very swift infestation of VAUs that beat the player in. A heavy SAM in VPAC is on the low-end of the to-do list so no real counter to them exists from me, Vertu, as of yet.\\ | + | The Summoner will request Liftic at a default delay of 7 frames or just over 4 packets a second.

| - | If there is enough detectable Greenar or the user of the Rift Lab enforces it (since the virus is recessive, hence why you only know it is a virus in the first place because I told you), the virus will make the Summoner build-plan available to the user. The user of the Rift Lab then builds a Summoner provided by said hitchhiker either of out curiosity or knows well it's usefulness, beginning the 2nd phase of the Vertu incursion on the planet. The user then has the Summoner conduct numerous transaction processes to summon VAUs who will cosplay as drones with the sole purpose of being an aid to their efforts. The Summoner relays to Vertu dimensional-nodes the more complex and precise information of the planet, you, the Creeper, and literally every other detail imaginable regarding wherever this is happening and with great interest in the about of Greenar available. Typically, everything goes well as the user of the Rift Lab summons VAUs to aid in fighting the Creeper and eventually wins extra swiftly thanks to the VAUs. The Rift Lab then leaves for seemingly no reason (while baffling Vertu every time) and Vertu has all the quantum information to send whatever they wish to go and strip-mine the entire planet (if it's rich enough in Greenar) or do what ever the hell they wish to the planet and now that the Rift Lab has left, can begin to invade the area, starting phase 3.\\ | + | If there is enough detectable Greenar or the user of the Rift Lab enforces it (since the virus is recessive, hence why you only know it is a virus in the first place because I told you), the virus will make the Summoner build-plan available to the user.
