You wanna load "Mindfuck.exe" eh? Well, Xenospit can't be emulated by the computer like that. But if you just want it to simulate tripping balls, it can do that.
(Sure, let's do that. If it has a timer, though, set it for roughly four or five minutes/turns.)
>Initiating Mindfuck.exe
>Please select your desired mindfuck experience.
It gives you a readout of times-you select 5 minutes-as well as a read out of several different options. They range from "Minor psychedelic experience" to "My brain is melting"
Milno turns his head to the direction the armory master's voice came from. Well, it isn't as if he wasn't expecting to look stupid and/or completely nuts. "You could call it a short test of how badly I'd do without sight. You know, there's the possibility I'll have to navigate in total darkness one day during a mission. I thought I could get prepared for it somehow." he answers, taking off his blindfold and walking towards her.
"I thought about using the VR, but it wouldn't be the same. I admit it isn't very bright, but it was an idea." he shrugs.
Talk.
"Unfortunately humans cannot navigate reliably in total darkness. Even blind men will walk in circles without a path or landmarks to follow. You may be better off investing in some eyes that can see in the dark. Or a flashlight."
Go to the infirmary, get the amp installed, then go wait next to the pods
specifically, lean against the wall across from the pods, hands behind my back, head tracking people as they move past, but not making eye contact.
Watch and wait more, do not allow myself to be beaten with a bat, enter pod on my own when Nyars threatens, but loiter until then.
you know how I quote myself when I'm doing the same action over and over? yeah, I'm still loitering at the pods, and will hop in when the time comes.
More of this
More of that.
"Eh. I guess I can find out later."
Continue zapping.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p52QJi-Ydo"right, so these automanips, what exacly do they do? Because 'they protect you' is kinda vague. And how much does one cost?"
ask questions
"Oh, stop bullets in mid-air, deflect lasers,that sort of thing. And they cost...well that depends but it's not terribly cheap."
Find something interesting to do in the pod. Maybe there's a Tinker-capable computer?
Can't hear you over how unconscious you are. Also how filled with fluid your lungs are.
Don't worry, this will be over soon.
Feyri checked the numbers before looking around.
"Steve, are we missing anyone else? Because if that anyone else is only me, then I'd look quite silly here.
"Also, as a request before we all go on the mission, where are we landing and is there any way to disguise our exact numbers?"
You're landing in the capital building. So you can't disguise your numbers from them, but you could disguise them from the people outside.
"Great."
Get podded.
Podded
((This is really making me wish I had time to test and use this system. Maybe I still do, but I suspect Nyars is getting antsy and it'd probably take at least 3-4 iterations to figure it out.))
Oh god don't hit me Nyars, this will only take a second:
1. Examine possible problems with a system that transmitted all input to a remote body rather than the one my brain is in, effectively allowing me to "switch" bodies even though my brain is elsewhere.
2. Examine cost of such a system, both the parts that go in my "real" body and the parts that go in the replacements.
2a. Presumably the drone half of said parts would look like a braincase that's holding a wireless transceiver instead of a brain, and the main one a series of gates over the normal information ports on the braincase that can switch between sending information to the body as normal and sending it wirelessly to a different target elsewhere.
2b. Look into encryption or similar if there's danger of background noise or similar making me trip balls or spaz out with this setup.
3. Ask Doctor if he'd give me a few free robot bodies for this project. If not, ask how much each one would cost.
You hide in the VR and try to ignore the sound of metallic tapping as Nyars stalks the halls, rhythmically rapping his bat against the floor and walls. You pretty sure you can hear him singing
something. 1.Possible problems include but are not limited to: Signal lag resulting in reaction lag that potentially results in failure and or death of remote body or teammates. Signal interruption that results in the same. Signal feedback resulting in death. Power surge resulting in death. Life support failure resulting in life failure. Body dysmorphia. Psyche fragmentation. Bi-location disorder. Coma. Brain chemistry imbalances resulting from transmission artifacts. The list goes on.
2. Depends on the system. A radio based system will be fairly cheap and just require an array in both the real body and the puppet. But it will be much more prone to interference and signal dropping. After all, the signal from one body to the other might not be overly large, but it will be very particular. Small errors may result in unwanted effects. A controlled quantum entanglement decay relay would be better, but it would also be extremely expensive and rather large.
3.
Robot bodies are free to brains that need them. Otherwise they cost tokens. Not sure price. Ask Armory master. Also, duck.
"Boy, thats an odd mess-"
And then there's a few hectic seconds of Nyars pinning you, accessing the panel on your back and then shutting you down. Oh no.
"Aww, damn it."
Thomas turns off the rather depressing truth, to go drink go into the VR. Set up a firing range and the same rifle setup that he takes on missions.
Firing range set up. Wanna set the dummies to be anything special? Maybe the physical manifestation of your addiction? Not sure what that would look like...maybe a drunk guy?
NEXT TURN IS THE LAST TURN. At the end of it you will find yourselves on mission, ready or not.
