"That... Sounds like someone died."
Go to wherever the noises of combat came from, raid any corpses for weapons armor and tokens. Then take the corpse to the doctor. If whomever killed the victim wants the stuff, it's fine. Go to the commotion. But be afraid of Milno. Be very afraid. Also keep May from getting herself hurt.
You run into the rec room and tackle may to the ground, getting on top of her to protect her from any flying debris, bullets or stray body parts.
Go on a corpse raiding date with Thomas. FOR SCOTLAND!
((..huh, I didn't expect it to be so sad xD))
((At least make her a NPC. I miss her. :3))
The corpse raiding date Thomas seems to have plans for is horizontal with you on your back. Same old same old.
"Sigh. He never got over it, did he? Oh well. Good job Buckler. Stand down"
Loot Mason's corpse. Guard it from anyone attempting to loot and/or steal it, preferably with a warning before opening fire.
"Hey Steve? Is there any sort of graveyard on the ship, or at least some kind of dignified body disposal?"
You gather up Mason's gear, specifically
Microwave Manipulator
Crystalline projector
2 token.
And proceed to stand over the body with buckler beside you.
>Graveyard? No. Best you could do is wrap him up and bury him in space if you want. Air lock is in the hanger.((Does Sa'las have a symbol? First one mentioned without one. DERP CAN'T READ))
Keep reading!
(Not your fault actually, I copy pasted the wrong section of text, so some of the post was cut off.)
"Sulf 'ada-zon: God of Burns. Sulf 'ada-zon the all burning, Sulf 'ada-zon of flame. "
The image on the opposing page shows a man in a hospital gown, all of what would be exposed flesh wrapped in fraying bandages. The frayed ends of his bandages burn like the wick of a candle and a trail of embers drifts behind him. The symbol at the bottom of the page is a simple drawing of a flame.
"(Much of the page has been redacted with a black marker. The text itself begins in the middle of the page, in the middle of a sentence.) -Prayed to during the initial treatment of patients, as well as subsequent treatments, his name being softly chanted as bandages are changed. His symbol is placed on the bandages over the effected area or inscribed on containers holding water or ointments used to soothe the pain of the burn. Placing his symbol directly upon the injured should never be done for it (The rest is redacted)"
Save sim as-is, Eject from VR.
What. The hell. Was that.
You hit save as you jump out of the sim, assuming a kungfu stance and shouting that you are part of the neighborhood watch and are authorized to use deadly force and to call the PTA.
Without warning, Jim suddenly attempts to rip Buckler apart with his Mass Manipulation Amp.
(For fuck's sake, people. Stop killing everyone else.)
[exo:1+1+1]
You point at Buckler and then clench your fist. His right, back leg is wrenched violently, twisting like a corkscrew until it snaps in half. Buckler seems very surprised by this and begins immediately scanning the room.
I don't take kindly to a paranoid, murderous team member. Don't expect me to pull you out of a fire, like what I did to earn these.
Gesture at prosthetic limbs, re-enter VR and get the saved sim back. Disarm the opponent literally using wristblade, at the shoulders.
[dex:4]
[dum dex:6]
The dummy side steps your attack and grabs hold of the hand with the blade attached to it, trying to stab it into you.
[str:3
[dum str:1] You jerk your arm away from him and hop back out of his grasp.
((Jim cancelled organize tournament - everyone dead.))
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE! I mean, seriously, that's two people killed in what, five minutes?"
Rant at the other people, sip drink. Make more if necessary.
You rant at people while mixing yourself more drink, gesturing wildly with one hand while slowly stirring with the other.
((It does seem like the current mission is close to wrapping up. If Gorat has to choose I guess he'd rather try to get onto the next mission, but if he can get into both the mission and the tournament, that'd be best.))
Gorat looks up at the sounds. Did they come from the rec room? "Uh, Steve, sir? Where those shots? Are we under attack again?"
>Nah, just standard inmate infighting. ((....wait a second...
((HEY LOOK AT ALL THIS UTILITARIANISM
Anyways, this reminds me of a dream I had. It was in Einstienian Roulette, and all the sudden all these newbies show up. Then they kill all the developed characters. I've never raged harder in a dream.))
GUYS, GUYS, MY PROPHECY. OH NOOOOOOOOOO ))
Actually, it seems like everyone involved in Jim's tournament dies. His tournament is cursed!
(D&D talk snipped to a single quote so as to avoid quote pyramids and the wrath of Toady)
(We should totally do that. XD)
((I don't actually understand quote pyramids and all - from my laptop PoV, it's just a nice stack of squares...care to explain that too? Though, I do see bad quote pyramids where Toady hates them. Is there some kind of formatting thing that messes up when pyramids are invoked?
Also, we'll miss you Skyrunner! Age aeternum vale meus amicus!))
Ponder if using crossbows with extended ammunition stocks and varying types of ammunition would be feasible - explosive bolts, and the long range power of the gauss rifle, perhaps? Silent, yet efficient.
(I believe someone else around here was actually tinkering with a crossbow/bow before. It's definitely possible. )
