VR Jim: Circumvent system by respawning arm with a Mega Man/Samus Aran-style arm cannon for a hand. Also, spawn a whole bunch of geese to fly with and a few cows to shoot.
You spawn a bright orange arm tipped with a rather unexplained "energy cannon" as well as a flock of geese and a herd of cows. You then proceed to hum "Ride of the Valkyries" while buzzing the cows and blowing nice smoldering holes in them.
"Oh, sure! Sounds excellent. What colours do they come in? ...Was that a stupid question? Nevermind, I'll take what you can find. Also, uh, can your head really detach from your shoulders and fly around on its own, or was that just the cigarette's doing?"
Charro's pretty sure it was the latter, but he watches the AM closely just incase she does it again.
"Heads detaching and flying around is fairly common around here, actually" The armory master says as she sets a helmet down on the counter. It's a rather massive thing, a huge sphere of metal with no visible seams or openings save for the one you stick your head in. The only detail on it is the tiny speck of a camera set in the center of the face. You pick it up and grunt at the weight; it must weigh more then 50 pounds. You're gonna be pretty damn top heavy with this thing, if you buy it.
VR Milno: Snark at Feyri's failure. Fly around with Jim.
"You're not very good at the things you set out to do!"
Hello? Anyone I can talk to 'bout changing one of my arms?
"Changing them to what?" asks a scruffy doctor who is standing over a mildly protesting Cog.
"Computer, is there any method of reducing the heat generated by the Railgun, but in keeping it's state?\
Actually, how did the LESHO get it's accuracy as such? Is it as durable as a regular Railgun?"
Respawn parts stolen. Explode: Snakes.
Feyri sighed as the bots went haywire around her, but was glad that they were making use of their time in testing battle simulations.
Bot Jim & Milno: Engage in unarmed combat in the air, doing multiple maneuvers as they clash!
"What is wrong with this VR?!"
((I misread the word 'parts'...gah.))
You detonate the snakes and attempt to override the bots, who promptly ignore you. You grumble a bit and respawn your parts.
>LESHO rifle uses a very strange alloy for it's rails, an electro-memory metal. It constantly returns to it's original shape when subjected to electrical charges, so the rails are self repairing. As per accuracy, a lot of that has to do with simply being very high quality, but also thanks to the rocket guided rounds.
You grab one of the fruits that are sprouting from your veritable bush of an arm and take a bite. Tastes like blood. Tastes like a lot of blood.
((Uh oh))
"Blegh! This fruit is disgusting." Lukas spits out the fruit and takes a sip from the Xenospit to get rid of the taste.
Spit out 'fruit' and take a sip of Xenospit.
You take a sip of the xenospit and suddenly everything is very odd. You can't sit still, you're practically vibrating with energy and running in place despite yourself. The couch is still screaming.
((Actually, keep the shape of the helmet as it currently is for the MK series.))
Ok, helmet standard shape. What next?
((It's a risk he's willing to put up with for his dream girl))
Thomas saves his designs and exits the VR.
"Steve, can you take me to May?"
Go to May.
>I believe she's in the hanger. You head to the hanger and find May standing around, admiring her pants.
Examine why that's such a barrier. Isn't it possible to completely genetically rewire someone to not be human? If nothing else, couldn't a variant of the Altered... treatment work for that?
[int:3] Uh...well maybe it's because there's nothing as good as the Altered genes? Maybe.
The Samsonite Abyss is, according to the program, an anomaly that recently appeared on the property of the Samsonite Family. The news story isn't terribly explicit in what the anomaly is but draws a connection to something called the "Hadad labyrinth", a similar anomaly that appeared in the Hadad university and resulted in the disappearance of several students.
You light up another cigarette.
"Weird stuff." Gorat is half-tempted to ignore the Abyss as some sort of quackery, like those haunted labor bots from home people were always going on about, but Faith had mentioned some rather strange things about her missions. He continues to watch the program until he is finished with his cig, before returning to the VR, requesting a slightly hilly plain with mountains in the distance. No enemies yet.
Watch TV for a cigarette's length, then back to VR.
You watch the program, which devolves into a sports broadcast about jello wrestling, till your cigarette is burnt down to a butt. You flick it away and head to the vr machines, strapping yourself in and pulling up a field amidst some mountains.
