Mark the location of the anomaly on some kind of map. Label it as "Really Hot Thing--Global Warming?"

((It's a sphere of extreme heat.

More like Globular Warming.

<_<))

[Lenglon]

The waiting! It doesn't stop!

[kisame12794]

"Well shit. Think this is it's way of telling us "abandon all hope, he who enter here"? Because I don't like it. Wait. I have an idea. Maurice, leave your weapons with someone, and follow me. The rest of you, stay put."

Give someone my rifle and the flamethrower. Engage loudspeaker.

"I think I understand. You want us to go unarmed correct?"

((Clever. Although, I'm not sure why it's not just morphing a mouth and talking.))

[Parisbre56]

((I think the Overload is trying to tell you to disarm yourselves.))

Poke a pole close to the object. See where the border of the anomaly is. Mark it. Watch what happens to objects entering the border with cameyes.

[kisame12794]

((That's why I'm dropping my visible weapons, and telling Maurice the same. Oh, and I'm taking Maurice because he's a doctor, and we will probbably need his docktorry skills.))

Felix takes Morul's rifle and flamethrower for safekeeping, and then moves back up the tunnel a ways to wait.

[Radio Controlled]

Go grab a vacuum container while letting the thing stay where it is. Then put the thing* in the thing** using the thing***. Also, question.

"Say, Steve, is there any particular weak spot in terms of our connection to the other remote defenses? A central hub, a communications line, something else we'd really need to defend if we wanna keep our turrets shooting?"

((Well, much more people for defense than I had anticipated. Oh well, we'll see once we have a bigger picture. Still, I might have to shift some people to assault or reserve if it's really necessary.))

((Hmm. Would Steve be willing to supply us with shields? I'm definitely on the 'squishier' side of the equation...))

((We might get a budget for 'loaning' stuff for one mission, so we might be able to supply some for you guys. ))

Anyways, for Radio's sake, posting my post in here: HQ Defense. An unfortunate necessity, since I would be great for combat (they can't even hit me point black, hooray for selective intangibility), but I need to remain in HQ to coordinate, both forces and manufacturing. Who says the machines have to shut down when there's a war on, after all? Might even be able to roll some stuff (Tanks, or IFVs, at the least. No battlesuits or whatnot, we want something that we can hop in and GO) for you guys right off the lines and straight into battle.))

((Kay then. I still don't think we'll be able to manufacture anything of note during the battle though. I mean, if we already have been building for several months, I don't see a few hours, or even days, making a huge difference. But hey, why not try right?))

((@RC: I think Assault and/or Boarding would work for Milno. Something that has to do with Joker's line of work would be nice, though I think opportunities for that would most likely appear during boarding.))

((Hmm, I think Reserve team will be the most, erm, 'jokery' since they'll be more autonomous, and mobile firepower is Milno's forte anyways. I'll put you down with assault now, but you can still chance if you want.))

((You'd be surprised. We've got a Volkswagen plant in my town, yeah? Civilian cars, true, but not only is this the future, but I'd be willing to bet that Hephaestus can outproduce a current civilian vehicle plant while making military vehicles, and the one near me puts out approximately 411 cars a day, with plans to expand that to about 1622 a day, with 85% of the parts manufactured locally for both phases. So sure, it might not be a massive difference, with all the time we have to manufacture, but it will still probably be a hell of a lot. If we have the resources, that is.))

[Lenglon]

((I noticed you put me in defense rather than mobile when I said mobile/defense. Was there a reason for that?))

[Radio Controlled]

((I noticed you put me in defense rather than mobile when I said mobile/defense. Was there a reason for that?))

((Not really, but then there weren't as many people for defense, and I thought most wouldn't want to do defense back then. Also, you think Lyra would really fit in with that team? No offense, but even with a jetpack, she doesn't have a ton of attack power. I could still change you, if you'd like. Just tell me so.))

((True. But Simus might be more of help directing the stuff we already have than building a few more of them, once the fighting rolls around.))

[Lenglon]

((I think people have forgotten how powerful the starting equipment is because they're used to having Miya or Jim do all the fighting. Lyra needs a dynamic bonus to be reliable with her amp, but it's still a Microwave Mass Murder Amp. By being part of the reaction-team, I should be able to make sure I have a dynamic bonus ready for the opening round of combat. and if I use it right, the opening round will also be the ONLY round of combat. additionally, Lyra's extra senses would be useful against weird problems, so I'll be able to send her to them without leaving a hole in our defenses.

so yes, i'd like to switch to being part of the QRF since we have so many defenders))

[Gamerlord]

Keep on riding Xantalos like an Amp Charging BOSS.

[Tack]

Step back and wait. Maybe juggle or something so PW doesn't get too bored.

[piecewise]

The Eyeballs all roll themselves in a sarcastic manner and the membrane breaks open.

[Xantalos]

Most gracious of you.

Stay with rest of group that's not heading further in, dynamic charge amp, etc.

And what negative side effects could it have on me if I consumed it?
