See if rechargeable versions exist, and if not, what would need to be done to make them rechargeable.
Spawn a battlesuit and see how hard it is to move around using a magnetic manipulator.
You attempt to modify the battery but it gives you the same crossed out sign that it gives for modifying manipulators.
As per moving a battlesuit, it seems rather impossible: The battle suit has no magnetic parts, at least as it is. You could induce temporary magnetism in a part of it, but that would count as two actions, one for the magnetism, another for the movement.
"Argh!"
Thomas stops shuddering and pulls himself to his feet.
"I'll stop."
He glances at the Armory Master.
"How much does the shunt cost?"
Ask question. Try and remember number of tokens.
{You have no tokens. You spent them all on getting armored up like milno.]
She doesn't say anything, she just taps the list of prices behind her.
"I wonder if I can fit into the VR machines now. Guess there's one way to find out."
Try to enter the VR. If I am succesful then pull up a new simulation, and summon a gauss rifle.
Turns out you can fit in, though it's not terribly easy and you're forced to lean forward the whole time.
You enter tinker and summon up a gauss rifle.
"Oh, whew. Good. I mean, not for them, but at least its not the pit shades or Lighteater or living sands."
Get back to simply watch the programs the guy zaps to.
You sit back and watch as The robot man continues to flick through the channels, mostly endless ads.
What about the AI of a Gunner Bot?
Gunner bot appears to be dependent on small amounts of canine brain tissue. Hmm. You might have to ask the research guys or make your own.
Open the Steady blade, Eye-ball, and AWaCCP systems, and examine each in turn.
The files aren't tinker files, but clusters of notes, hand drawn plans and schematics, pictures of prototypes and the like. It seems she did her work before Tinker.
The Steady blade system seems to be a program suite for the MK IIIs exoskeleton that is designed to make the user hit his target with a melee weapon if it is physically possible. The notes with the file indicate two main problems: injuries resulting from the program's lose constraints on "Physically possible" and injuries or fatalities because, while it always hits, it does so without mind to what the enemy is doing, often leading to both parties striking. The note rather peevishly continues that the one with the system tends to come out on top, regardless.
The Eye-ball is a large clear plastic ball with several cameras on the inside and moves via an internal system of weights which spin to build up movement in a particular direction. It is something like the cheap flying camera drones you've seen, but designed to be thrown and or driven around in urban or artificial environments to allow for scouting.
The Adverse Weather and Conditions Communications Pack (AWaCCP) is basically a backpack unit designed to allow for radio communications even in circumstances that would normally inhibit them. The notes say that it works quite well, assuming the interference isn't caused by "Being in another dimension, plane of existence, anomalous zone or such nonsense."
"On mission or off? And does that include ones behaving that way because of outside influences or just ones that are a bit...stupid."
"Both on and off mission, and you can exclude the ones acting that way due to outside influences. Add just the stupid ones who were acting like some of my teammates usually do." Milno says with a smirk.
Obtain answer.
"Well, thats a toughie. I've had to put down a riots in my days, and those are pretty bloody. I'd say it would have to be more then 20, but I'm not sure on the numbers exactly."
"I was thinking of something more... arthropodal"
Try and will myself awake.
You wake up, sweaty and sadly, not a bear.
Although you have quite a hankering for honey. Oh bother.
((Oh man, I broked the AM for a bit))
Brother Lars clasps his hands together.
"Did you find anything, ma'am?"
Asky!
She hands you a very beat up looking book, quite sturdy but also worn, having obviously passed through many hands. It's metal cover has no title or author, just burn marks and abrasions. It's quite heavy and large, bound with sturdy metal rings through something like paper, but not quite.
"Refill please! Also, Armory Masta', have you ever loved anyone? In any sense of that word?"
Get Emergency Kit refilled. Then ask personal question.
She refills your kit and seems to ignore the question.
"Training in melee, Steve. It could teach your convicts a few things or two when they don't have futuristic technology to rely on."
Respond to Steve.
Hi Jim! I don't think Steve will sponsor it...
>Ok, thats why I would pay, but what exactly am I paying FOR? Drinks? Weapons? Commemorative plates? It's all right, don't worry about it. Just let me know if you need anything. I'll be in the barracks.
Jim sat down in front of his locker and waited.
Jim sat down in front of his locker and waited.
Floki grinned to himself, sitting down and carefully pulling on his boots.
"Right, lessee if these're as good as the old ones..."
>Try on the razorboots! See how easy they are to walk on!
You try on your boots and walk around. The only problem is that if you step down too hard the thin ring of rubber holding your weight bends and the razors hit the ground.
Death row? HMRC? For what? Quite puzzling, that. And what picture?
"What picture would you be referring to, ma'am? I only woke up here just now. Explain, please."
Ask.
"No no no no. You listen to me; just go about your life, forget about anything I just said ok? Because if you start bringing that up, you will die. You got me? Thats not an idle threat, they will kill you where you stand."
