We'll start accepting people for the next mission. We need 10 again.
Jim headbutted the man in an attempt to stun him and create enough distance for him to retaliate with a stab of his own.

You slam your forehead into the man's skull, but he seems completely oblivious to it.
"Hmm. I was worried this might happen."
Back to Tinker! And try to think of a way to inject the chemicals when needed, using a mechanism small enough to fit in the framework I already have. Also remove the barbs from the needles and just let them be firmly attached, consequences of re-using needles be damned!
[int:5] The easiest way to do it would no doubt be to replace this vial system with syringes and then add an actuator to press down on the plunger of each syringe. Combine that with a pressure sensor, so the system could tell when you've pressed the needle into something, and everything should be golden.
You remove the barbs from your needles.
Test them on duracrete blocks, and anything else commonly used for buildings.
Well, the laser and gauss rifle work relatively well against most building materials, though the laser is pretty slow to burn through them, and the gauss rifle tends to need several shots to penetrate. The kinetic amp can do a heck of a lot of damage with a good blow, though all that exploding supercrete, glass and metal shards aren't exactly healthy when you're standing that close. The blade carves a nice, usually pretty clean cut through the hard materials, but causes violent shredding and exploding of others.
Thrak nodded. The excitement was racing through his mind- a blade like that needed a name, but that'd come later.
"Rad. Any other tricks or tips, mang? What's with the apron? Meat cleaver... like a butcher?"
"Overdrive and long cleaver. Use them together."
He takes a long look at you and then nods. "Yes. A butcher. Fitting, I think."
((Ehehehehe... Man, I am glad you joined.))
How about all three? But if that fails, focus mainly on absorbing and dispersing force, followed by dispersal of heat.
Well, there's impact gel, which is designed to absorb force, but it's not very good at absorbing heat. Then again you could always just use a layer of Ether-gel, the stuff thats used to insulate the standard suits, under the impact gel.
Travis woke and exited the simulator.
Ugh. This ship again. I was hoping I was dreaming.
Sighing, he made a resolve to get off this flying metal can as quickly as he could.
"Steve, could I preemtively volunteer for the next mission? I'm sick of the color gray"
> Well, the current mission will be back soon, so why not. Head to the briefing room. ((Ehehehehe... Man, I am glad you joined.))
^^
((Look at the orange appliance!))
>Firing circuitry, as in the circuits that control when and how the magnetic coils fire. You'll need to modify the programing so that it fires continuously while the laser is firing.
"So...the magnetic coils are the ones that control the laser? I thought it was a static emplacement.
"Hm, I should've gone with my Rail Gun idea..."
Summon: Screwdriver, mechanical kit, training dummy, Bot Bishop, Bot Milno and explode another Tesla Sabre.
Ask computer for tips and help on the configuration of these magnetic coils.
"How do these gauss coils work anyway, computer? I...haven't serviced anything like these in a long time."
>The coils control the flow of the free electrons that generate the laser. Actually, wait, why exactly are you doing this again? Free electron lasers use an electron source and magnets to generate a laser, but you're going to have to use a modified laser source to generate electrons to generate a laser? The hell are you doing? Why are you creating a large, expensive and inefficient laser when cheap, efficient ones are readily available?"Cigs, and most drugs for that matter, are free." the lady behind the desk says as she flips a page in her book.
"Then I'd like a pack, and a lighter if that's free too. And while I'm here..." Gorat studies the armory lists suspiciously, thinking. Tokens? Five? I think it's five tokens. The officer'll tell me if I'm wrong. She doesn't seem hostile, just disinterested. "... I should get mission equipment. Laser rifle, Microwave PK Amp. Where can I go test them out?"
"Cigs are self lighting, just strike the tip like a match. We got HMRC standards, blue smokes, mellows, twitchers, vision sticks. We also have some Earth-3 cigars and special blends, but those cost ya. "
She hands you a laser rifle and what looks like a ticket stub.
"Take that to the infirmary, they'll install the amp for you."
