Thomas heads to the rec room, starts up the VR in an FPS.

[piecewise]

Violate the wounded men.

Follow them over the trenches, ready to face whatever comes Elisaz's way.

You follow the rush of men forward, joining the mob as it goes forward. And then, in front of you, men begin to fly, hurled into the air, trailing streamers of red. Something is curling, charging, scything its way through the horde. You can see flashes of it, serpentine body and centipede carapace, great guillotine pincer jaws, wildly swinging bladed arms. You break from the herd as it swims through flesh and watch as it curls and stands, countless bladed limbs carving an island in the sea of men. Lasers crisscross its carapace, scoring dark lines but failing to pierce the armor. Its countless eyes search the mob and then focus on you. Its fanged maw spreads wide and the earth shakes with its roar.

Milno decides to look for a friendly person among the crewmen. (friendly meaning willing to talk to him without hating it)

You walk around, looking for someone who isn't a conscript to talk to. Strangely, you can't find anyone. People have been talking about Maintenance but there's no sign of them. Odd.

Thomas heads to the rec room, starts up the VR in an FPS.

You take one of the open VR machines and put on the helmet, gloves and IV cuff.  The screen displays the following choices.

>Battle of Hexbarax

>Poacher

>Punch Many Things.

((Sounds like a Trygon from the Tyranids! Yes, Warhammer 40k.

Spoiler: Trygon (click to show/hide)

Also, I knew there was something fishy here.))

Milno snickers.

Search for crewmen. Just do not get into trouble while doing so.

[Spinal_Taper]

"Let's do the battle of Hexbrax."

You look around. You can't find any crew members but you do find several sealed doors marked "Maintenance."

"Let's do the battle of Hexbrax."

>Select armament (see op armory)

[Spinal_Taper]

"Laser Rifle please."

[piecewise]

"Laser Rifle please."

I'll just point out that there's no token limit in the VR machine.

[Spinal_Taper]

"Thanks for the hint, AI. All right then, give me a fusion instigator, a laser rifle, a monoatomic razor, a kiloton charge, a battle suit, and an advanced medical kit."

[Scelly9]

"Thanks for the hint, AI. All right then, give me a fusion instigator, a laser rifle, a monoatomic razor, an eighth kiloton charge, a battle suit, and an advanced medical kit."

((Oh, good god. Can we start an on-ship thread? If we have too many poeple playing video games it might get confusing))

[Tiruin]

I'm gonna try a different build this time. I also think that if this guy dies too I'll just clone Adrian. Call him Adrian 2, make him literally a clone.

Name: Thomas Harrison

Age: 25

Gender:Male

Appearance:Black hair, with one scar on his right cheek. He is obviously of Caucasian descent, but his skin is tanned by spending time out in the sun and heat.

Personal information: Thomas was born a mercenary, and he stayed a mercenary. His parents were bandits, but to him that didn't have the same appeal, so he set out and using the skills he gained, became a gun for hire. He was a sharpshooter back with his parents, so that's what he specialized in, but he thought that sharpshooter wasn't impressive enough, so he went with "Thomas Harrison, Sniper for Hire". While he had a rough enough start, eventually the contracts started rolling in, and he took all the jobs he could. Unfortunately, one of the said jobs was for the HMRC. They were so impressed, they arrested him explicitly to hire him again.

Reason assigned to HMRC: Murder, Being a Mercenary

Strength: 0

Yeah, I noticed. You cheated in skills :I

Everyone starts with 5 points.

[Spinal_Taper]

Oh. I just noticed that when you pointed it out. Thanks. I accidentally did that in RTD of the dragon. Not very good with character sheets, it seems.

[Caellath]

"Laser Rifle please."

((Would you like a MkI suit with that, Sir?))

((Oh, good god. Can we start an on-ship thread? If we have too many poeple playing video games it might get confusing))

((If you were as paranoid as me, you would be watching what happens in their games because it may be important in some unforeseen way.))

Milno squints at the doors.

Hear attentively from the point I am standing at and try to figure any sounds that come from inside.

[Spinal_Taper]

Hey Caelleth, you may want to look at my equipment again.

[Caellath]

Hey Caelleth, you may want to look at my equipment again.

((I already saw your new equipment.))

[Spinal_Taper]

Hey Caelleth, you may want to look at my equipment again.

((I already saw your new equipment.))

Do you think I went overboard enough?
