((@Nicholas: Please try to be more practical and avoid killing thousands of people like Nekarios.

This gives me an evil idea.

Rig the manipulator to be operable by remote control, place it several miles away, and attempt to heat a cubic mile next to the manipulator. Watch fireworks.

After that, spawn several kinetic amps, and test what happens if I attempt to chain them together (i.e, punching someone with two kinetic amps on top of each other). Also test the maximum amount of force that can be used with a kinetic amp, and see what it does to the Mk1 through Mk 3 suits.

((@Nicholas: I can give you some anticipated test results. Two Kinetic Amps together will produce an earth-shattering kaboom no one survives, not even the user. And a good punch with a kinetic amp. is generally enough to tear off limbs from MkIIIs.))

((Microwave Psychokinetic Amplifier ► MPA))

Ah, ok. Consider the fight set up and ready for your first move then.

((@Nicholas: Please try to be more practical and avoid killing thousands of people like Nekarios.

@GM: What is the enhanced movement setting? Is that the buzz mode? I don't quite remember the information contained on the video Milno watched.))

It's something you never found because you didn't get a 5 on the roll to examine the suit. And that video, in addition to the bonus, gives you a random bit of info about the suits. I guess you guys just don't catch the rest or something.

Duplicate attack pattern used in first mission on the sentinel.

You don't have the corpse of a beloved teammate to slide upon though.

You rig the keyboard and display on the manipulator to work via a hand held pad. You then place the manipulator quite far away and activate it, setting it to burn a  cubic mile. However, when it comes to the mathematics part, the screen displays an error. "Error 203: Out of Range"

As per the stuff with those kinetic amps, if you read back a lot of people did similar things and the results are pretty much always the same. Two kinetics amps in line basically just result in an enormous shock wave that tends to ruin the day of everything around it. As per the maximum amount of force usable with a kinetic amp, theoretically any amount could be used, but the conversion is less efficient as the amounts get higher.

"Suhweet. That's nice to know."

After finishing the disk and his meal, he tosses the tray in the trash and takes the disc back to the armory master.

"Here you go. Have you got any others like this on whatever gear we have? If so, I'll take 'em."

Well played, piecewise. No 3-token nukes for me, it would seem.

Ah, I suppose there's no way for me to overload the device to a truly deadly extent while staying safe. It's probably better if I can keep my equipment in one piece anyway. Anyway, this kinetic amplifier could be useful... let's try a couple more tests.

Take a gauss gun, modify the projectile to be a weighted pole, with a retractable cable (attached to the gun) on one end, and a kinetic amplifier on the business end. Test it against a Mk 1, Mk 2, Mk 3, and battle suit.

((@GM: I'll make Milno turn the MkIII inside out to find out all of its secrets when and if he gets back. I did try to examine it once more after getting the new helmet, but seeing as you cut me off, I guess that means I have to be inventive to get a new roll. By the way, did I roll a [4] in my examination roll?))

Jim attempted to feint the man with another jab before throwing an uppercut at the pit of his stomach.

"Depends on what you're looking for" The armory master says as you hand her back the chip. "We have one on weapon modding and maintenance. We've also got a few of the manuals for some of this stuff. Not all of them though."

There's a very good in universe reason for it, I swear. Besides, actual nukes aren't that expensive anyways. Hell, a 1/8th kiloton charge is 2 tokens.

As per that gun, you basically want to make a Kinetic Amp harpoon gun?

Yeah, you basically got everything but that one thing.

You drive your fist directly into the man's stomach. He grunts and doubles over in pain, stumbling back.

((Well yeah, if we could do remote detonation nukes, I'm sure someone would have tried blowing up Steve's main ship by now while out on a mission. I'm guessing that some of the more mass-destruction oriented weapons are disabled on the ship just in case someone was feeling suicidal as well.

Anyway, what I had in mind was essentially a kinetic amp harpoon gun, except with a bit more force behind the harpoon.))

[SeriousConcentrate]

Jim continued the assault with a pincer attack: an elbow to the back of the head as he drove his knee up into the man's nose while he was doubled over.

Oh, nukes can be detonated from a distance, You can use your wristpads as detonators. You could even try detonating one on the the ship, if you don't mind slaughtering your own teammates in the blast. Oh, that and being stranded. And pissing off the UWM. I won't stop you from doing pretty much anything, just be prepared for the consequences.

As per your harpoon gun thing, problem one is that the rod isn't gonna fly straight as just a rod.

You move beside the man and prepare to crush his head between your elbow and knee when he rises in a flash and delivers an uppercut. You stumble back, dazed.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Jim raised a hand to adjust his gasmask slightly as he circled his opponent. Perhaps he should try a different tactic; a double-leg takedown into a mount, from which he could pound the man's face with fists and elbows.

This makes me wonder, how long until people start intentionally teamkilling to take each others' tokens? (Particularly considering how easy it'd be to blame it on just normal mission hazards...)

Also, it'd never work. The armory master would survive. Somehow. (Although there is something tempting about managing to kill literally everyone in one post.)

As per your harpoon gun thing, problem one is that the rod isn't gonna fly straight as just a rod.

Hm, that design isn't exactly accurate. Well, that should be a matter of simply reshaping the rod/amp combination it to make it more aerodynamic, and perhaps elongating the barrel of the gun to improve accuracy. I wouldn't trust it at a distance of more than a few dozen feet, but within that range it should be pretty deadly. Still, if that doesn't work... perhaps a spherical version would work better...

Improve aerodynamics of the rod. If I can't get it to work to satisfaction, take a miniaturized (as much as possible) kinetic amp, embed it into the front surface of a metal sphere (as small as possible, down to normal bullet size), and try that as the projectile. (Keep the retractible chain attached to it)

I suppose I won't be able to really use this, regardless. I know I can't shoot straight, and after what happened back home, I don't particularly want to try. So I wonder... why am I still designing this? I have no doubt this could end up being a decent weapon, but what would I do with it? Give it to the corrupt government that sent me here in the first place? Or perhaps give one of the psychos here a new and better way of killing things? Too many questions, not enough answers...

...

...

Well, if my local government is corrupt, surely there are others equally bad off. Although I don't doubt that plenty of the people here are borderline insane, there have to be at least a few with some basis in morality. Perhaps one of them can use this kinetic amp gun to better effect.

"I'll take 'em all. I've got plans, and it will help to know more about what I'm going to do."

Take ALL the manuals and vids, head back to the rec room and go through all of them, starting with weapon mods.

[Tiruin]

((Hah! I told you people Jim helped me in that first mission!  ))

Concentrate laser fire on the spot that I last remember that worked on the sentinel.
