Brother Lars looked confused as Maurice gave him his things.  As he turned away, Lars finally spoke.

"May the light of Steve be ever with you, Brother.  Walk ever in the glory of the gods in whatever quest they have for you."

As he left, Lars bowed his head in prayer.

- Well Yarrick, I ain't gonna lie to you, it's a masterpiece. Eh. I should probably learn things and practice them, like normal people do before they start actual work, - Yaroslav murmurs while heading to the VR machines

Stop where I understood it wasn't quite what I wanted. Go to VR, download some manuals on engraving and generally drawing, practice via running realistic imitations which consider my robobody parameters and properties of material I'm working with. Take my time. Do that until I'm able to complete original objective in simulation several times in a row without messing anything up. Or until people start being assigned to new missions.
Since this action isn't really effecting anything gameplay wise I'll just say you manage to get it done. I reality though, that prep should give you +/- 1 and if you failed a few times your gun would be completely covered in engravings that weren't what you wanted.

"Actually, I think this is where the scientists came from. They paralyzed me the last time I annoyed them. I should probably annoy someone else."

Go punch the wall within eyesight of the AM
You head over to the armory and punch a wall. The metal catches fire for a few seconds before extinguishing for no apparent reason.

"Play nice or I'll take your toys away" The Armory master says, not looking up from her book.

Lyra's healing is perfectly normal - not accelerated in any way unless the doc decided to add it to the kitty package without telling me. but the whole "has to teach her body how to heal it" thing is still a prereq. Doesn't matter that it'll have no gameplay concequences because said healing would be very slow, it matters because it's her body, not some machine or robot, it's HER. same as why she wants to keep pain turned on. She wants to seem like she's still organic, and to be able to be treated as such, both to others and to herself.

Organic is still preferred overall, but we understand that there are limits to what organic can do.

repeating Lyra's goals:
improved stealth (her fur changing color as desired or necessary to hide her) (organic fur and skin) (would also want to ensure her paws/hands/feet are properly padded to move silently though I think that is already in place)
accelerated thinking under pressure (Rennen's slow-mo) (brain alteration as needed, details unspecified or forgotten)
faster and more precise motion. (better Dex) (might need synth/robotics here)
stronger skeletal structure / claws (better End) (might need synth/robotics here) (first priority to cut - was assuming it would be needed for the improved movement but if it isn't...)
if possible, some form of wierdsense that would let her know when people use amps near her. preferably something that would let her use her own amps to counteract what is happening. or maybe simply being alerted to "wierd" things, like the sheep or the more physics-cheaty alien tech or other similar things.(brain alteration I would assume)
Token limit: 12

if the doc has to make a new body for her to do this anyway, then she might want to keep this one on ice somehow for if something happens to her. don't know if that costs extra though.

also if the deathcube services are being publicly advertised  (don't know how that is set up right now / haven't been tracking on-ship thread well), she'd ask him about how her body would handle if she used it to become lightweight, and if that would change what he could/would do.


Waugh, picky picky picky. Fine, we can get you a robotic body and the nurse will tell you that it heals.

Most of those things we can do, but there are two that are sticking points: The bullet time and the weird sense. Bullet time is a doctor thing and requires the loss of most of your brain, a good chunk of your personality and results in eventual destruction of the remaining brain tissue when used over time.

Weird sense...well, we'd need sensors to track everything around you and basically just make your head tingle whenever things go outside normal parameters. And I feel they probably would go outside normal parameters pretty often.

((Hey guys. Sorry for being out. Some RL problems didn't let me read all the things that happenend.))


Go to the Rec room. Watch the TV for a while. If there is someone watching it, keep viewing the problem. Aks for what happened in the ship while we were on mission.
You watch TV with the other guy and ask him to tell you what happened on ship while you were gone. What with the tooth marks in the ceiling and the melted hole in the wall.

If by normal you mean the high proof booze from the armory master then yes, it is normal booze.
Yeah, that paint thinner is the norm around here.

Ooo, nice endurance roll.

You drink one good mouthful and promptly pass out.

Wander around looking for historical/philosophical books. Start by looking in the rec room.
There aren't a lot of books in the rec room. Aren't a lot of normal paper books around in general. Mostly electronic now.

"Aw man..."

Just knock on the door then. Also, put my potion into my Mk II suit for injecting.
You knock on the door. No one answers.

Heh, and alright. Thats something different.

Continue to wait for the mission, just posting continually doing this to show I'm still here.
We're gonna have three missions again, Two are essentially the same but I'm launching them both because I'm uncertain how well people will survive and we need what they're gonna get.  The third is Joker team nonsense.

Open up Ye olde Salubrious Border amd peek inside.
There are several objects inside the box, all of similar size and shape, but each slightly different and clearly hand made. They're oddly organic looking, like carved bone, but oddly iridescent orange. They have a shape something like rib bones, a slight bowed rod about 3 feet long, with a diamond cross section and sharp looking edges. Their purpose, if they had one, isn't immediately obvious.

Maurice's face was completely overwhelmed with strange emotions, pale and serious, as listened to Brother Lars. With a look of abyss-deep comprehension and... relief?.. in his eyes, probably never so unsmiling as ever he replied:

Yes, Brother. Except...

he brought his mouth directly to Lars's ear, and just barest audibly continued

... this is not the Doctor. The person I have drawn is Dr.VonNost.

With dead serious look in his eyes, he took out his Instrument, fleshknitter can, bag of little people and the total of 15 token and put all of that and the sketch into Lars's hands. You are my last will, Brother. Keep them, and if I... then do as you believe best. Spend on your own Avatar to rival General's, spread them among the newbies or let those go straight into the token pool. Same goes for whatever might be left of my eqipment. This scalpel... it needs a total of two more marks on one side, if I remember it correctly, and maybe one more - for Stacy - on the other side. Just... find it a suitable new owner if I... when I...
Well, yes, and tell Lyra she was a wonderful friend, and I am sorry I was not able to spend time with her more often.
If I... tell Simus that... no, I'll send that message myself.



In a few agonizingly long moments of silence his usual sunny and colorful smile returned to him, and he winked mischievously to Brother.
Well, this must be the end, old friend. Now - the only thing I might keep the same would be my blazing soul you saved back then. Vaya con Steve, Brother. ... And may Mistress Medicine have mercy on our your compassionate soul.
And then he briskly walked out of the Rec room.

Quote from: MSanctor to: Mesk
Mesk, you sleepy lazy murderer, I need your help. Kickboxing brand. Desperately.
Meet me in the airlock - and take that advanced medikit with you.
#MSanctor

Go to the airlock, secure that no one save me and Mesk are there. Take off my Mk II and prepare for the operation. Make sure I have a mirror or something - use my helmet's screen with videofeed as needed.
You're gonna have mesk perform brain surgery in an airlock? Is mesk good with AUX? Because thats what he'll need to disable the shock feature.

You realize you probably could just ask the Medical staff to do it for you, since you have permission, right?

It was going, but not gone, perhaps for a while now.
"Oh, that's nice.
Not nice, but you get my meaning.

Hmmm. Well your intuition roll was terrible. But your handiroll was perfect.

You make the best possible raisin, asparagus and ham cheese cake humanly possible.

It's still not very good.

((Mmmm... ham cheese cake...))


Lars walks to the barracks and carefully places what Maurice gave him in his locker.  The last thing is the bag; upon feeling the odd shape of its contents, he became curious.  Taking it back to the rec room, he sat at a table and emptied the bag.

Empty "I'm not coming back" bag and examine contents.  If there's one that looks like Lars, place it in a position of prayer facing toward any that resemble Steve.

Whether Mesk comes or not, begin the operation. Use the prepared bonus from last turn, if those still exist.
Also, why Aux? We're carving the implant out, since it was described as simpler than cutting off the chunk responsible for shocking. Plus I (or Mesk, if he shows up and is willing to mutilate brave the risks) am using the Dissector, so that separating the implant from organic tissue can be done as tenderly and gently as possible (not to mention the lack of pain and blood allowing me just to attempt this operation by myself using the cameras and the helmet-screen).


I really hope he comes. ...Funny how things sometimes go.

Update: Mesk came and is willing, so I give him the cursed knife and my assistance in the operation to completely remove the spinal implant.

((Okie-dokie, fair enough. Let's taunt the dice some more.))

- It goes easy enough in simulation. Too easy perhaps.
Charge a dynamic bonus for Handiwork, whatever dynamic bonus is. Syvarris says nice things.

I'm interested in buying kin amps. Multiple. What are the rules on discounts for bulk orders again?

I'm talking buying between 4 to 12. Does the discount increase as units bought increases?

Pan gets snapped out of the weird zen-like state he got into while watching the tv as a guy next to him asks him what happened.

"Eh? Oh, hey Renen, long time no see. The science crew fucked up dealing with a xenocube, started some weird ass shit. A giant pig on the tv said weird biblical stuff. Then a giant anomaly hole opened up where everything inside of it ended up getting digitized, looking like it was made out of wire mesh. Then someone shot the cube, which made everything go to hell. Technicolor skeletons, the giant pig that started munching on the ship and another fleshhorror flooding out of the vents. Ya know, friday nights at the HMRC. But then someone managed to shove the cube in the hole and it all stopped."

He shrugs

"That's about the gists of it, really."

Seeing Mesk enter the airlock Maurice smiled with relief and sadness.
Oh... so you came, in the end. Thank you. Sorry for waking you up.
Mesk, I am going to have my shock implant removed. I have the General's permission, but, as you can guess, it must remain secret for anyone. For that to be even possible I am also semi-retiring from active duty.

He sighed.
I know that we haven't always see eye to eye in the past - and now I regret it. We all have done our share of dark deeds in the past, and, provided I survive, I am near certain to commit thousand times more despicable things than you or anyone in our unit has ever done. ...I should not have judged you then, because I am myself to be judged now.
So - Mesk, please, forgive me for being a self-righteous dick. I still think somehow that maybe killing that girl's parents was unnecessary - but today I condemned to death, organ servitude and dark experiments more than fifty or sixty people myself. And despite anything, you have always been a fine and reliable teammate, and that is a great virtue in itself.

Maurice closed his eyes for a moment, sighed again, and smiled brightly yet bitterly.
It will be very difficult, probably practically impossible, to cut the shock implant out of my spine all by myself. I have this cursed knife that can cut the tissue without pain or blood, but that is still in the realm of something incredibly improbable. That is why I am asking for you to lend me a hand in this, to operate me.
You can just walk out of here now, if you wish, or do some 'accidental' malpractice in the course of operation to settle the score, or whatever. I don't care nor judge. I just wanted to say that I am sorry for how I treated you earlier, and to ask you for help in this case. Because you are the only other medic inmate actually nearing competence around the place, right now.

Alea jacta est.

Go to the medical staff and ask if there is some job that needs doing. Something that pays, preferably.

"So, is there something I can do while I wait for my first mission? Something that pays, maybe, so I can get a gun or something?"

how does the amp specialist know when amps are being used against him? He would need some form of wierdsense in order to defend against direct amp attacks, which he did repeatedly during the assault on Heph.((Answered by Paris in OOC thread - method isn't ok for Lyra))

Doctor's opinion on effects of using deathcube to make herself light?

finalizing things:
color changing fur, same white as currently when I don't want to be sneaky, changes color to match surroundings and makes me really hard to see when I want to hide. ensure paws/hands/feet/whatever you want to call them are properly padded for totally silent movement ((though that part is probably already in place, I'm not sure so I'm mentioning it here.))
improved musculature to allow even faster movement and even more precise control, even compared to my current cat-hybrid-body. (if tokens to spare, improve this further please)
improved skeletal structure to handle improved musculature and ability for body to naturally, though very slowly, heal non-organic components.

NEW: replace or add to painkiller in fangs with a much stronger sedative, one that will reliably put a human or sod to sleep very very quickly, but not for very long, not *just* deaden pain. keep the coagulent boosters, and sedative needs to be safe to use on wounded individuals. painkilling effect lasts much longer than sleep effect.
if possible, have sleep effect leave subject pliable for a couple minutes after they wake up from it.

retain all changes from previous part-cat mod
body still looks from the outside and feels both inside and out like an organic body.
old body kept in storage if zero cost.
same size or smaller.

no bullet-time
no wierdsense unless I get a compatible answer to the amp specialist question, which i do not think will happen.

tokens spent: 12 / 12

IF: Deathcube services are currently available AND doctor thinks using Deathcube services to make lightweight is a ok idea THEN:
before actually getting the mod done, would use deathcube services to first-time-test lightweight + self at no cost, as per the Deathcube services doc. followed by a Doctor inspection, then getting the mod done.


EDIT: in PM conversation with Hapah, confirmed price for said deathcube service is 0 tokens, button sequence is: A1, C5, G4, G6, H1.

Alright. Change to a firing range with 8 human targets with varying degrees of armour from no armour to armour plating. Also spawn a laser rifle along with its most recent predecessor, a gauss rifle and its predecessor and three other random rifle, shotgun or sniper rifle. Have the targets go from 10 meters to 800 meters away. Test how each weapon does.

Quote from: Brother Lars to General Miyamoto
Blessed General,

Are there any particular planets that we should focus on to begin with, or should we come up with a more general message?

Faithfully,
Brother Lars

RESPONSU!

Quote
Start with identifying those planets where the political leadership, the target of these messages, could even remotely be swayed. Because I kinda doubt our chances of converting a magister lounging on Earth-3. Then, you can adapt your content to the target audience where success is most likely. After that, once you see what works and what doesn't, you can use what you learned to try and crack harder targets, so to speak.

Does that help in any way?
