((@Nikitian: I also have an idea of what that intuition roll was for, and I do not like the prospect.))
((Yeah, that does not bode well...))
I was the adviser to the Magistrate at Altair 4. He wanted someone who could usually find the most intelligent option, as well as a strategic planner, although I don't think he counted on me being... well, let's just say that I'm intelligent, but I don't know when to stop going on about things sometimes, and I'm bad at reading people. I'm fairly sure that's how I ended up here - He got fed up with me.
Wait... why did you bring May along? No matter, we'll probably be coming back up this way, so we can pick her up here.
Alright, you two go down the stairs, I should meet you at the bottom, or near to it, at least.
Strap my MFM over the palm of my left hand, so that I can type on it, albeit not that well. It's crude and will need a safe spot for a bit to work, but it'll work.
Use my incredible grip-borg legs to scale down the dam, trying to remain inconspicuous (yeah, right.)
((Argh, why didn't I think of a very useful upgrade to my arms BEFORE we had to all pile into stasis?))
You shift your MFM onto your remaining hand and, after several seconds of struggling, have Thomas strap it on for you. That done, you walk to the edge of the dam, sit down and then plant the soles of your feet on the face of the nearly vertical drop down to the canyon below. The feet latch on and you hold your breath before pushing yourself into a horizontal standing position.
After taking a moment to steady yourself you begin walking down. It's slow going.
Shit. I missed ANOTHER mission.
((Yep, bad luck all around. You could ask the GM for a spot in the next mission if you compromise to appear, since even I thought you had stopped reading the threads.))
Milno rears back into the room and turns off the motion sensor while paying attention to any sign of trouble. Return the projector to Lukas.
(you can initiate a intuition check by thinking about the situation by the way)
You pull back into the room and listening for any noises and keeping an eye out for light or movement. Lukas and Faith come over a moment later and you hand Lukas back his weapon.
"Oh. We're leaving them up there. Be right back."
Thomas heads back up the stairs and leaves May with Nik.
"Stay right here, and make sure that Nik doesn't get hurt, Okay?"
He then heads back down to Nick.
"So, just got in the way of someones ego? Sucks. I've always thought it's best to just stay away from those people. Well, I used to be a bandit. Most of my teammates were beserkers, almost. They would run in, guns blazing, from some ambush point. I would sit back, and pick off anyone trying to escape. Oh, those were simple days. Find an ambush point, like a forest, or stairs... Wait a second. Don't you find it odd that we haven't been attacked yet?"
He continues walking, checking the area around him for traps or ambushes as he goes.
You walk back to where Nik was and drop off May before heading back toward the stairs. You're about half way there when you see something poke out of the hole in the floor where the stairs begin. It looks like the top of a thermos or something, a stumpy metal cylinder with a reflective square set into it. It rotates till the reflective bit is pointed at you and then stops. Uhhh.
Shit. I missed ANOTHER mission.
((On the bright side, you weren't cut in half. 
))
"Well, now what? I can help carry him, but that doesn't do much for the hostiles."
Help Lukas get around.
You help Lukas stand and give him some support.
"Hostiles I can deal with if I can see them."
Neil stayed by Faith, shooting any strange hostile-like thing he saw. OR rebels with non Mk suits, for that matter, with a cross sweep with both of his hand lasers.
You ready yourself to give the finger to anyone you don't like the look of.
((So..anything May can do?))
You can try to fight against those pain killers with an end roll. If you succeed you'll regain most of your consciousness.
Shit. I missed ANOTHER mission.
((On the bright side, you weren't cut in half. ))
"Well, now what? I can help carry him, but that doesn't do much for the hostiles."
Help Lukas get around.
"Thanks Faifth, I think you did it." Now Lukas was calm again he checked his wound. "Fuck, my knee is really busted." Lukas sighs. "I'll try to get up by myself first. Can I have that projector back, Milno? I don't feel safe without it."
Try to get up. Ask Milno for projector.
Faith helps you hobble over to Milno, who is staring out the door very intensely. You tap him on the shoulder and ask for your gun back. He hands it back to you but other then that doesn't even acknowledge your presence. He seems very focused.
Take care of Nik.
I leave this up to Piecewise's interpretation.
At this point all you can do is drool in his general direction.
