Applications go in this thread, right?  I'm up to the start of the fourth mission and can't resist any more.
((Welcome, by the way. The HMRC always needs more scavengers doomed to death.))

((No, it won't. Most people we could try speech rolls on during missions are too busy firing at us. Just...Do not leave the talking to the GM. Especially near the armory master.))

((Ooh, it's Toaster!
I have a feeling I've seen you before in one of my RTDs but I can't tell which!
Also, Armory Master turned me into a protein shake with lots of bones and chunky bits in it.))

@Sky: Yeah. I wonder what she would do if E pissed her off again. Protein shake just does not quite cut it, though now Empyrean has some (not) cool scars along her limbs and skin due to emergency shake-draining surgery.))

Hm, I think I'm at an impasse with this kinetic jetpack design. Let's see if I can't find those manuals somewhere.

Head to the armory master, request microwave manipulator and kinetic amp manuals, and read through them (if obtained).
You head to the armory master and ask her about the Manuals you need.

"Sorry, only manual we have for manipulators or amps is the organochemistry overriding one."  She says with a shrug.

(I feel sorry for this guy, so I'm going to lampshade him.)

"You know... You might want to reconsider trying to gouge out my eyes when they're covered by mirrored lenses set in a fairly sturdy gasmask," Jim said conversationally.

Jim goes for a headbutt and tries to scramble to the knife, to get it before the other guy thinks of it.
Headbutting with someone holding your head is gonna be a bit difficult. sure you wanna do that?

To eliminate the intruders, of course - in my experience, enemies dropping by in the middle of an operation is more likely than one might think, and I'm better with melee weapons than with guns. Plus having a good knife (good for utility as well as combat purposes) can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.
Maybe, actully, less of a knife and more of a dagger - a bit longer, a bit narrower and double-edged; probably that would make it more suitable for performing precise actions like using it as a makeshift medical tool. Do you, by any chance, have in stock something like that?

"Well, we've got some standard knives, but I think I got something that might be more up your alley. It was made by a former inmate for a another inmate-a surgeon-we had on board."

She steps into the back for a moment and then places a knife down on the counter. It's a sort of odd looking thing, as though someone took the blade of a scalpel and lengthened and expanded it. it's clearly made from a single piece of metal, with the blade and handle being sculpted as one piece. It's single edged, but obviously designed to both slice and pierce. Scratched into the handle are 4 tally marks. You turn it over. On the other side of the handle are 5 marks.

Following directions to the armory, Simus is not surprised to see a large list of various gadgets.

Waiting politely out of the way until there's a lull in the conversation between Doc Sanctor and the Armory Master, and gazing over the lists while doing so, and formulating her own personal list from the options presented.

You wouldn't happen to have any kind of documentation for the suits, all three varieties, the laser weapons, the gauss rifle, the monoatomic razor, and kinetic amplifier? If so, I would like to take a look at them.
"Gauss and laser rifles yes, razor and amp, no."

She hands you two manuals out of a box on the counter.

April notes rather confusedly the reaction of the guy watching TV who looks at her, briefly freaks out, facepalms, and goes back to watching TV. OooKkkk. Shrugging, April walks over to the food dispenser and examines the thing.
The food dispenser itself is rather uninteresting, just a alcove where you place your tray and various foodstuffs get dumped onto it. It seems to be controlled by the menu that doubles as the ordering board.

Feyri pumped her fist in joy at the computer's comprehension. Sunglasses were perfect!

Wear Sunglasses.

She then surveyed the rifle, with a frown coming up. "Huh, I may not be a handy-man, but these are...insufficient."

Quote from: Present Material
battery
laser emitter
barrel of focusing chambers
thin metal
Sunglasses!

"Hmm...gauss rifles, you say? Ferromagnetic components may be what I need...Also, a high voltage supply for that beam... Say, computer, how powerful is the beam from a Cutting Laser and is it possible to modify the voltage output of the Tesla Sabre to fit into a portable firing weapon?"

Explode Gauss Rifle. Explode Tesla Sabre and Cutting Laser.

Ask, computer.


You whip on your sunglasses, wishing you had something catchy to say in the process.

The exploded gauss rifle is fairly uninteresting, just a tube with a series of coils and a generator. The sabre is basically nothing but a battery and some sort of tesla coil like thing. And the cutting laser is pretty much the same as the laser rifle, just larger and longer.

>It's possible.


"Interesting... I wonder how much strength it has when thinner?"

Pull up a Mk 3 suit and remove it's helmet and explode it apart. Examine how thick the armor plating is and create the same thickness out of battleship plating in one stack of 5 layers, and test how strong it is.
You hold the helmet, in your hand and explode it outwards with a gesture. You select and hide everything except the "armor" parts. The helmet on the standard suit seems only to have maybe an 1/8th inch of metal around the innards, barely what you could call armor at all.  You get the distinct feeling that replicating this thickness with the 5 layers won't exactly give you a reliable image of the armor's overall efficiency.

Applications go in this thread, right?  I'm up to the start of the fourth mission and can't resist any more.

(I'm hoping his consistent poor strength rolls mean his arms have all the resilience of spaghetti and I can just pwn him. :3)
