((And everything else hasn't?))

((Yeah, this is a running itinerary of 'bad idea'.))

Good thing he had no more use for conventional money. Or any conventional money.

Try tuning self to sense organisms

((My idea is a good one.))

[Yoink]

((Oi!))

[Lenglon]

slowly circle the area, avoiding anything that seems hazardous. Look for anything else that is different or otherwise out of place. Note if the biohorror has sensory organs in the area. Note if there are exits from here other than the way we came in.

((Reposting so the message gets heard.))

If you are interested in staying on Hephaestus, the meeting begins as soon as everyone who responds to this assembles in the Briefing Room. If you are otherwise occupied, inform me and I'll patch you in, but I prefer physical presence.

I would like you three, if you are not otherwise occupied, to join the meeting as well, in case anyone from your roster wishes to stay.

Meet me early if you wish to discuss what occurred with Auron.

((Why is the stuff like laser rifles and gauss rifles costing us anything?  I thought we had thousands of them on the Sword.))

((Since we instead have massive slabs of carbon (which I think is what's being used as our Resource Units), I think it was, and the AM simply transmutes it into what's needed. If I understood things correctly.))

((I'm pretty sure it was mentioned earlier that laser rifles and gauss rifles were left over from the Altered Wars, and they had millions of them laying around... I can't find the quote right now though... Hmm....


Anyways, if it isn't cost effective to make the Commando, why not go the other extreme?

Spoiler: Sod Fodder Squad (click to show/hide)

12x regular Sods equipped with Mk I suits (better than nothing, and free?), 1x gauss rifle or laser rifle, 1x Frag nade or flashbang

They will sacrifice their lives for the greater good of Mother Russia!

Will Steve mine the jump point the fleet will return from or do we have to expend RUs for that?

Does this system have any facilities on other planets, moons or asteroids? Any sensor arrays?

[piecewise]

Transfer my brain from my head to the core of my chest, sealing it in multiple layers of shock-absorbing organic gel, supertough bone-chitin-impact resistant organic armor, enough to protect it but not taking up too much space there. Keep my eyes and mouth and such in the head area, and keep the general head shape to fool onlookers.

Ok. You're pretty barrel chested now, but not outrageously so.

"Well. It can grow a pair of shoulders and shrug them at me, but it can't just make a mouth and speak to me. Sure universe, make my life harder."

Activate loudspeaker.

"Okay, how about this. I'll climb up there, and start cutting. If you feel weird, or anything out of the ordinary, wave a tentacle at me, and I'll stop. Shrug once for yes, shrug twice for no."

((Okay, THIS has bad idea written all over it.))

Single shrug

Look where you are son. You wanna try and tune yourself to sense rocks while in a cave? You're gonna blind your 6th sense.

You're kinda hanging by dendrites so circling around means climbing means potential falling.

Though you can't see anything out of place or any other exits. There are places where the nerves seem to head out of the chamber, but they're flush to the flesh, so to speak.

It will cost RU. Though, it's a pretty good idea.

Nothing really. There are a few sensors on the moon and scattered around on other planets, but mostly just basic monitoring stations so Hephaestus can keep an eye on the solar system.

"Holy shit. That actually worked. Now, how to get up there in one piece?"

Plot my route up the neurons to the glowy bit, and start heading up. If I fall, catch myself with my amp.

((Wow. It seems violence isn't always the answer here. Who knew?))

[smurfingtonthethird]

RU cost for battlesuits for the entire team, excluding people that can't use them or already have them.
((We'll be more killy and less dead.))

((Nope. Piecewise will ramp the dificulty up to compensate. He's stated this before.))

[WhitiusOpus]

((Can I get a cost estimate of the Sod Fodder Squad? Heheh, it rhymes...))

That's good thinking.
