[Toaster]

((Oh okay, thanks. I guess I can do it after all since I have -1 (no points in handiwork), +1 (Technician) and +1 (VR assembly practice).))

((You should be fine then.  The +1 from practice is a modular bonus, which means it goes -1, 0, or +1 to bring you toward five as needed.  That turns your final roll possibilities into 2 3 4 5 5 5.))

[Tiruin]

((Also, don't worry if it won't work the first time. You can usually disassemble the weapon into components, then remake it.

Go Tinkers! ))

[Tavik Toth]

Stab him in the face!

[Grunhill]

*pain grunts*

Uuugghhh. Calm down, just get up and ignore the pain.

Get up, try to rest and cope with the pain.

[Knight Otu]

"Eh, ok. While I'm here, why don't I check..."

See if there's some kind of image- or holo- or whatever-based search that could be used to research the identity of my "artifacts".

[Nikitian]

((@GM I think you missed me. Twice in a row. Have I somehow angered thee, O Mighty Piecewise? ))
I see... Well, I presume that some of the 'drones' are quite better than others at what they do, right? Who are the most notable physicians here - apart from the Doctor, of course?
Ask.

[jetex1911]

"...Oh." Chaz was slightly disappointed at the results, but he did just get his Amp: He'd get better over time.
Grabbing the plate, Chaz was about to eat... I think it's a steak? Anyway, he was about to eat it until he glanced at the VR machines.

'Hmm... I could practice my combat skills using one of those.'

Tossing the plate away, he began to head for an open machine.

[piecewise]

((I was actually hoping for an Int roll rather than Intuit, but oh well. More fun this way. Putting a point into Intuit should probably be a priority assuming I survive the first mission. ))

"Sorry! Stay where you are and take cover, I'll move out instead."

Anton Prime runs out of the bathroom and takes whichever path the hit Clone was going to take out of the apartment, seeking cover.
Clone #1 (the injured) finds the nearest cover and looks out for enemies.
Clone #2 pops out of cover, rifle ready to electrocute nearest enemy in sight. After firing a shot (if applicable), immediately change position.

You crawl out of your hiding place in the bathroom as one of the clones fires through the hole in the wall and the other writhes in pain behind the couch. You make it out of the room and into the hallway,  staying low as you move to another room. You kick the door open and peak inside. The wall of this one is still in place, and there's a window to snipe out of. Seems a pretty good place.

hunt my prey, try to force it towards the petrol station

What do you want to be looking for in particular? You have a backpack full of stuff by the way, you may want to take a look at the datapad in there detailing your target.

"Thanks"
Place all the parts in my locker.
Then, go to the VR and practice assembling and loading the weapon.
((Are there any methods of negating my -1 to handiwork when assembling the weapon?))

You've already got the VR experience from building the thing, so you're not gonna get any more like that.

((Hmm ok))

-How much armour do the Avatar and battle suit variants have?
-Have the filament in two pieces so that it dosent cut the amp in half   

-To put it bluntly, Fuck tons.

-So like
|
| Filament
|
Amp
|
| More Filament
|

Search for a strong, lightweight, fabric. Ignore all bulletproof fabrics.

Well, thats easy, but just a forewarning, that jump pack isn't even gonna get you up that high. I mean, not high enough for a flight suit to do much at least.

Stab him in the face!

[dex:4]
[Dummy dex:6]
[Dummy str:1]

The Dummy dodges your blow and then farts at you.

*pain grunts*

Uuugghhh. Calm down, just get up and ignore the pain.

Get up, try to rest and cope with the pain.

Ow. Ow. Ow. You stand up. Ow.

"Eh, ok. While I'm here, why don't I check..."

See if there's some kind of image- or holo- or whatever-based search that could be used to research the identity of my "artifacts".

Which artifact in particular? You've got a few.

((@GM I think you missed me. Twice in a row. Have I somehow angered thee, O Mighty Piecewise? ))
I see... Well, I presume that some of the 'drones' are quite better than others at what they do, right? Who are the most notable physicians here - apart from the Doctor, of course?
Ask.

NOPE, just not observant.

"All the doctors are fairly equal, as are all the nurses. We are all Equal"

"...Oh." Chaz was slightly disappointed at the results, but he did just get his Amp: He'd get better over time.

You jump into a VR machine.

[Unholy_Pariah]

hide nearby, inspect contents of backpack, read datapad

[Corsair]

((Exactly like that))

-Setup a particle beam weapon using this method from wikipedia;
 
Charged particle beams diverge rapidly due to mutual repulsion, so neutral particle beams are more commonly proposed. A neutral particle beam weapon ionizes hydrogen gas by either stripping an electron off of each hydrogen atom, or by allowing each hydrogen atom to capture an extra electron. When hydrogen molecules gain electrons, they form anions; when hydrogen molecules lose electrons, they form cations; when hydrogen atoms lose their electron they form protons. A particle beam weapon that accelerates anions uses a traveling wave type particle accelerator. In this kind of ion accelerator, the negative ions are released inside a cylindrical ion acceleration chamber. This chamber has an electrode with an alternating electric charge of up to 1,000,000,000  volts inside it.
Stages:

While the charge on the electrode is positive, the ions are attracted to the negative charge on the electrode, and thus bunched around it.

The alternating voltage switches the charge to negative on the accelerating electrode.

The negative charge electrostatically repels the negative ions and accelerates them to near the velocity of light.

The resulting high energy beam of anions passes through a chamber filled with low pressure gas.

There, collisions with the gas strip the extra electrons from the anions, and thus make the particle beam neutral.

The particle beam proceeds straight to its target, and damages it by running into it, and by disrupting the structure of the target with its kinetic energy.

Cyclotron particle accelerators, linear particle accelerators, and synchroton particle acclerators can accelerate positively charged hydrogen ions until their velocity approaches the speed of light, and each individual ion has a kinetic energy range of 100 MeV to 1000 MeV or more.

Then the resulting high energy protons can capture electrons from electron emitter electrodes, and be thus electrically neutralized. This creates an electrically neutral beam of high energy hydrogen atoms, that can proceed in a straight line at near the speed of light to smash into its target and damage it.

((Whee action! I wonder if the thing makes thunderclaps when fired? ))

"Alright, this works." (over team comms) "Report enemies if you see them! Keep watch and keep moving if you're firing! Remember, electric discharges give away your position better than shouting!"

Take position near window and peek out. Fire lightning if enemy spotted, remember to call out to team and leave cover/reposition to avoid counterattack.

Listen to annoyed confirmation from teammates because they're essentially me and know this crap already.

((speaking of awesome pictures, piecewise - how exactly do you envision the laser rifle and the tesla saber? I'm trying to figure out a good design for a proper combination of the two.))

[Empiricist]

Victor puts on his MkI suit, gets the parts and goes to the airlock. He then plans out how he will assemble the weapon (activate dynamic roll bonus)
((Well, Victor is a dead end for roleplaying and character development. I'll just give the AM the completed weapon and put Victor in cryonic purgatory so I can create a new character who will hopefully be a better person to roleplay.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Charles Leroux
Age: 48
Gender: Male
Appearance: Average in height and build, greying hair, brown eyes.
Personal Information: Leroux was a moderately successful psychiatrist, he was well educated in both academics and ethics. However, he started experiencing hallucinations. He began to see glimpses of eldritch forms, vaguely humanoid, that were controlling people like puppets, hanging over them like the circumpolar misericordes of death itself. Wherever he looked, he saw people manipulated like marionettes with what appeared to be glowing strings of bold text. Numbers in whispers like echoes that are too alien to be comprehended by humans haunted him constantly. The cruel irony of his circumstances tormented each day and each night, he began to withdraw from society. However, the specter that hovered over him did not allow that. He struggled, and for a while, he resisted. But it couldn't last forever and his luck eventually ran out. He still remembers the ghastly mechanical screech that consumed him, barely pronouncing a meaningless declaration of "one" and in the next instant, he was standing above a bloodied corpse with an equally bloodied knife in his hand.

-character sheet-

((Put some points in Exotic and Will for your first missions, buy a mind control amp and you're no longer useless. You're a mind controller, who's sweet words can manipulate everyone (enemies, aliens, teammates) into doing what he wants. Eventually you'll become what you despise, a puppeteer. Imagine the RP potential. Not to mention the philosophical conundrums. (Is the puppeteer of the puppeteer responsible for the actions of his puppet's puppet? etc.) Or maybe you can give rousing speeches and songs, like some kind of space bard.))

[Knight Otu]

First check the sphere, it probably has the best chances as being known, looking a lot like it could be human-made. Afterwards, the bottle, not that there's much of a chance that the result is something other than "It's a bottle, dummy". Then, I'm all out of artifacts to check.

[Tavik Toth]

Slice his throat. Also have dummy actually use weapons.
