In a full team with AgentFoxMulder93 playing Sam, Kim-Emo playing Valerie, and EminTounssii playing Becca. These were two matches in a row against the same MM, where he first played Nicholai, and then later Spencer. The last time I had encountered this Nicholai player, it was with Crazy-Kelmen and XV in "Ruining Nicholai's Day," where we realized we got him in the lobby, and Kelmen decided to counter him by running camera scan on Valerie. But this time, we had no such luxury, as I knew Kim was running creature scan like most Valeries do, so I was a little nervous as to how the match was going to go.

At first, area 1 went really well, up until the point where the MM successfully stunlocked me and tunneled me with air cannons and other things. I took a huge risk standing in the line of fire to use Interference, but I was able to get away. In area 2, it took us a while to find our coordination, but we found Yorick and took him out quickly, and with a little patience, I was able to get a few more active cameras. The MM spawned Nemesis and downed Kim, but I revived her just fine, and with a little teamwork and more patience, we got the remaining two terminals done just fine. Area 3 was our most successful area yet, as Fox raced ahead to the core while Nemesis was distracted with the rest of us, and we were able to back each other up easily. Someone had left a GM-79, probably for Emin, but I took it, and got a couple of nice cameras quickly with it. At the exit, I stayed mostly hidden to work on cameras from afar and relied on the team to help back me up, and although the MM spawned Nemesis and downed me, I wasn't remotely worried since Kim had put a spray down on the final exit. I was revived, and we escaped just fine.

The second match, where the MM played Spencer, overall went much better: I was able to time out some cameras well, and although the MM stalled us and drained some of our health at one of the doors, we were still able to get through okay. And area 2 went just as well, if not better. Unlike when the MM was playing Nicholai, I was able to get loads of active cameras, and although it took us a while to find Yorick and get the terminals done, we entered area 3 with plenty of time, and got that done just as well. Our only snag came at the final exit: although I was able to miraculously avoid damage from the D-field thanks in part to a licker pinning me mere seconds before, Emin got teleported back to the start, where the MM began to tunnel him. We all made our way back, with me staying behind on the lift to lower it if need be, and although it got chaotic, we were able to stage a successful rescue operation. From there, we all beelined it to the exit and escaped just fine.

I'm sure I'll encounter this MM's Nicholai again in the future and lose, since it seems you need at least a couple good teammates or good RNG to handle him. But unfortunately for him, he wasn't going to get a victory off me today. Mostly just pleased I didn't need camera scan to help me out this time.
