Run towards doppleganger Elisaz. Punch in his co-ordinates with my Microwave Manipulator while getting my Kinetic Amplifier ready.
At this time, Elisaz realized he could face famous historical people or relive battles through this machine. He takes this as a note for later.

[Elisaz uncon:6+1]
You run for your double, typing on your Field manipulator just as he does and readying yourself to unlease a hopefully crushing blow with your kinetic amplifier. Both of you finish your typing at the same time and the air around you both begins to distort with heat. The air in the suit begins to heat as well, becoming dry and burning almost instantly. You swing your fist back as you close the distance to your clone and swing at his head as he swings at your stomach.

You both swing and you both connect. The game fades to a black screen showing the word "TIE".
"Well that's a shame. Folks, they don't want us messing with base components. Just going to put that out there" He puts a monatomic blade as the tip of the drill, then tests it out on a mark 3 and a battle suit. He then tries the same thing, but dosen't remove the amp this time.
A monoatomic filament on the tip of the drill eh? That might prove a bit hard, since the filaments need to be stretched over a space, not touching anything, to work. You could mount a little one on the tip, but it would have to be held by brackets that are slightly farther forward then it, so you'd be contacting with those first.
Milno sighs. Well, this is not his business, but...
"You better exercise your mouth less and your legs more. You really should head to the infirmary; if you really want to die, then do it on the field, preferably after taking as many hits as possible."
Milno follows Empyrean to the infirmary and helps her only if she is unable to do it herself. He also hopes she is still able to do it so he can take care of his own stuff.
Gigantor Empyrean looks a bit stunned by having her muscles melted so you help her to the infirmary, mostly dragging her along. You throw her in a bed and walk away without bothering to tell anyone what happened.
Thank you, Steve. Do I have to go and get it, or will it be available to take with me when I go on a mission or decide to hand it to someone to test?
Exit VR and look around the room for the first time in earnest.
You exit the VR machine and look around. You're in a very large room, half of which is taken up by the cafeteria, the other half being a rec room. You, along with the VR machines, Tv, ping pong tables, sparring ring and various ratty looking pc's are in the rec room side.
Faith nodded and gulped.
"And I take it crazy mode will tend to result in, um, structural damage? What's a, uh, 'safe' amount of time, do you think?"
"Thirty seconds broke arm and tore muscle. Would not recommend above 1 minute."
Let's stop at the bit protruding about one foot from the hydraulic hammer, its thickness about one inch with the semi-sharpened (truncated cone-shaped end, really) tip bearing the kinetic amplifier.
toEstimate the size, weight and overall handleability (for exoskeleton-wearer) of the ... hydraulic spear. Test it against a wall of reinforced concrete, a Mk II suit and a Battlesuit wearers.
Estimate the handleability of the expanded laser pistol, as well as its length. Then try adding two more firing chambers of the same size as the first two and see if its still a pistol an average person can wield one-handed without wearing an exoskeleton.[/b]
By the way, Steve, I heard one of the comrades - Bishop, if I recall correctly - had his weapon 'bought' by you. What was it? Ah, 'Willis Monofilament Bolo Launcher' (or 'Willis MBL' for short, I remember). So how soon would we be able to see its entry in the armory lists? (I do understand there's some ruckus going on there at the moment, but hopefully the Reverend Comrade, who currently holds the position of the Armory Master would find some time to update the lists soon - Magisters bless her.) Or is it still in the field testing? Oh...
((Fun fact: Even with most of her muscles burned, she is still stronger than some of the twig-armed men of our team.))
((Yeah, thanks for reminding. 
))
Damn, those muscles are still too dribble after the cryo tank! Perhaps a mission or two would turn me back in shape.
The Hydraulic hammer is about the size of your forearm with the spike itself extending to about 5 inches beyond your hand when you have it closed into a fist. The immediate problem you see, if it is a problem at all, is that the whole powerful but relatively minor oscillation of the spike seems not to be being used very well. Most of the force of the impacts comes just from your arm driving the spike into something. In order to really see the effects of the hammer you need to lightly press it against the target and then activate the hammer. And even in those cases you only get the effects of a single oscillation because the target is pushed back.
Adding chambers the size of ones that already exist won't help. You need longer chambers to focus more, the ones of similar size will just keep the laser focused in the same way, no better, no worse.
