"So it will change shape depending on the input I give it? Also, when I first got it, it made me do a challenge. The penalty for it was supposed to be an electroshock, but I did the challenge and it said it had stored a charge. I decided to wait 24 hours before doing another when it gave me the option, but I'm sure I'll have another challenge at some point. You said it had a powerful internal power source, so do you think the challenges and charges are some sort of programmed limiter to keep from overloading that power source? Also, do you mean it was programmed with a bad sense of humor, or is there some sort of sentient or semi-sentient AI in there?
Ask more questions.
"Limiter yes. Reason unknown. Probably entertainment based. Weapon itself has bad sense of humor. Sentient. Intelligent and malicious. Enjoys suffering and pain. Be careful with it."
Hmm...I think you might be better off by summoning two hunks of u-235 and smacking them together real fast. Less powerful, but requires less energy. Since this combination of making a nuclear and explosion and blocking it is already testing the limits of your capacity, even with the aid of the Avatar.
Sure, fine by me. Since I have no idea how you calculate mindpoint usage, or what the most efficient way of doing this particular thing is, I'll go with your proposal.
At one point in the distant past a nuclear physicist once told a who he disliked to "Take two pieces of u-232, walk a mile into the desert and slap them together as hard as possible." You do basically just that, summoning up two great slabs of silvery metal and then slamming them together with as much force as you can muster via the manipulator. It's crude, inelegant and not terribly efficient, but it's enough to set off a low grade nuclear detonation directly in front of you. The force barriers hold, however, there are a few unintended consequences. First one being the fact that you're now blind, or at least the machine shut down it's eyes for the moment. The guys in the bunker behind you are all blinded too, and the flash was bright enough to instantly burn anyone not in a suit, which is only a few people, luckily. The sound has much the same effect, causing deafness, but the focused nuclear shotgun seems to have been effective enough to buy...oh...10 seconds more or so as the forward lines struggle and dissolve and the lines of flesh behind them shove their way forward against the blast.
VR!Jim: Use mass manipulation amp to disarm opponent and drag him into melee distance. Then bearhug with lower two arms and use upper two arms to bend him backwards over the grip until his head touches his feet.
Attempt to dodge the hug, slash him across the midsection with the sabre.
...Maybe this was a bad idea.
To be fair, I didn't realize how much Jim had evolved since page 60, which is about how far I read through this.
Jim points at ...your name is hard. Gonna call you Doug. Or maybe darwin. Something with a D thats less french. Jim points at Doug and jerks his finger back, causing Doug to be yanked straight off his feet and fly toward Jim's waiting arms like a homicidal version of that slow run toward each other that you see in romantic movies. Doug, realizing he is boned, just holds the tesla sabre out in front of him, pointed at Jim's chest, so that the blade will impale him as he goes for the death hug. Jim, seeing this coming, just points with one of his extra free hands and disarms Doug without effort.
Doug, you wanna do anything? Pray, perhaps?
Char sheet ho!
