((At least give her the hat, and candy, i want her to know were not all serial killers.))
We'll just assume she got the hat and a hard candy.
Open mouth to use tesla arc. Punch Thrak in the open part of his torso with left hand while using the cutting laser for extra damage.
Grab Lukas' right arm with own right arm, and attempt to sever with hand lasers.
[Thrak dex:1+1]
[lukas dex:6-2]
[Lukas con:5]
[Thrak end:4+1]
[Lukas dex:2-2]
Lukas' metallic jaw drops open as Thrak grabs at his arm and tendrils of current pour out and dance across Thrak's metallic skeleton and armor. Thrak falls back and convulses randomly as his systems overload and activate at random. Lukas attempts to take advantage of the situation and crush thrak with his monstrous fist, but ends up putting a giant fist shaped dent in the floor instead.
"Uhmm..." Charro stared blankly at the various materials the Armoury Master had oh-so-helpfully handed to him.
Wasn't this her job? Alas, it was so hard to get decent help these days. Naturally he didn't say that out loud.
"...Thanks. I think. Perhaps there is someone else on the mission with a talent for haberdashery? Because I would really have not a clue." He glanced about. There were a couple of people showing up at the counter... Couldn't hurt to try!
Also there was a rather dazed-looking young girl standing there. With that Milno fellow. Weird. Charro looked quizzically at them and made a mental note to find out just how the hell she'd ended up onboard a HMRC ship. Right now though, he had to hurry.
>Search the group of people hanging about the counter for any skilled hatmakers, persuade them to assemble throwing-blade-hat.
>Tell them to hurry up, since I need to get to the mission briefing.
>If no one is found, I will... Do it myself.
>Attention: Charro needs some help dressing himself. Please come to the armory if you are good with your hands and aren't afraid of bodily fluids. Go to the armory and request some Bluesmoke cigarettes.
Loading that chemical shell was... unpleasant. At least I can take solace in the fact that whatever, or whoever, for that matter, gets hit by it, will have an even more unpleasant time.
Light up and try to find Doc Sanctor, he might be in the infirmary. Doctory kind of place to be.
((Jim, I hope you've got the tokens for the modifications... and don't mind having a plate bolted into your arms...))
You get yourself a pack of cigarettes and light one up as you head to the infirmary, finding Doctor Sanctor over by Mesk's bed, along with jim.
((At least give her the hat, and candy, i want her to know were not all serial killers.))
((My friend, you only say that because you haven't yet entered the web of madness surrounding the ones who survive long enough.))
Milno stares at the girl before shifting his gaze back to the armory master.
"Thanks. Ah, she also seems to have a strong desire for vengeance."
Then his eyes go back to the cupcake. He holds it in one hand, as if examining it.
"Do you happen to have a knife?"
Get a simple knife from the armory master, cut the cupcake in half and take a bite at one of the halves. Check if it tastes like poison, death, tranquilizers or the soft flesh of an human arm. If it actually happens to taste good, give the girl the other half then deliver her to the armory master right and proper.
"I'll be back in some time, I got questions about that automated manipulator you talked about before."
Leave to the VR Machines afterwards and check every single program or feature the MkIII may be hiding. Also ask Steve if anyone created any weapon recently.
>Simus created a grenade launcher that fires grenades full of horrible, poisonous, burning death. Be sure to duck.
You get a plastic knife from the armory master and proceed to cut the cupcake in half and take a bite out of it. Tastes like cupcakes. Fair enough. You hand her the other half and finish off your piece. She takes the cupcake and looks at you with an inscrutable expression, but eats it none the less. You pat her head and pass her off to the armory master who takes her hand and takes her into the back.
"Come on, we'll take you somewhere nice." You hear her say as the door closes.
That done, you head to the VR machines and pull up a MK III and take a look at it.
[int:5]
You discover Enhanced Movement Mode (EMM), a mode that increases both your strength and dexterity at the cost of burning through your fuel.
"But, Lukas at least seemed nice. Never met Thrak, but I can't imagine what'd make them want to kill each other."
>They have their reasons, I'm sure.((Sorry, was busy.
Oh hey, I just realized. Do I have cameyes? If not, what do my eyes look like?))
You just have a camera for eyes, not cameyes, just a standard camera. You don't even really have eyes where the eyes should be.
((Which reminds me- where does the name Einsteinian Roulette come from? The fact that there's no way to beat the system?))
That, and the lesson of thinking laterally, plus the Einsteinian physics concept of time dilation, and the similarity to "Russian Roulette".
Bishop looked at the ceiling blankly.
"Who the hell is Thrak and Lukas? Describe both of them to me and I'll think about that bet you were talking about Steve."
>Well, they're both terrible robotic killing machines created by the doctor. Lukas is a huge, massively strong and resistant juggernaut filled with guns. Thrak is a speedy, melee focused thing, with a 3 foot cleaver and a human face strapped to his head.
