"They obviously have some value, at least to you. If you didn't think they have any value, why would you refuse to give yours out like, say, a packet of 'I-Didn't-Die-Today-In-Space-Super-Apple-Blast' drink mix? I don't believe my name is terribly important or valuable, so I give it freely. I just extend a hand and say 'Hi, my name is Stacy Buttle, what's yours?' And my name is actually somewhat embarrassing, so any misgivings on my part may be forgiven. Is your name embarrassing as well, or just so plain and ordinary that you feel it doesn't actually describe you?"
Sustain questioning.
"Whats more important to you? Knowing my Name or having your knee caps not be turned into drink mix?"
"I could use a strapon for riot control and situational diffusion."
Inform Armory Master on objective usage of item.
The armory master sighs and leans over to the wall, resting her shoulder on the intercom button.
"Attention, would inmate Thomas come pick up his pet from the Armory? She's gotten out of her cage again."
"Hey Grate, while my datapad is loading with all that information, what do you want to do? I'm up for anything, if you'd like." Feyri said, gesturing nonchalantly as she typed.
(@GWG: I'll be PM'ing or putting the mission summaries in a spoiler for you, ok?)
"I'll just ask the Armory Master one last thing."
Inquire if it is possible to make the MKIII suit energized - meaning having it run on an internal energy source which would act as a kinetic absorber, dulling any blows against it [and hopefully insulating the suit...]
If not practical, ask what can insulate the MKIII suit and the reasonable costs. Insulate meaning: Render your own tesla sabre mistakes/strikes against you to be trivial.
Edit: (Huh, nice new turn title, finally something I've played )
"It already runs on an internal power source, a generator to be specific. But I don't see how something running on internal power source would let it absorb kinetic energy?"
"Well, is that any different or worse than the critical screwups you can get with a manipulator?"
Amps.
"Not really. Amps and Manipulators are for the most part fairly similar in how they function."
((Peice was there any way for me to win then?))
Not in the way you were doing it, no, not really. There were ways for you to die, sure, but not how you were doing it.
(I think that's the second time I've been part of the title. I think the other one was Arts and Crafts or something)
Pour a single grain of whatever is inside the shaker into my hand. Examine it. Place it back inside and ask the AM if we actually have a kitchen. Go to kitchen and/or find meat and bread.
You pour a little of whats in the shaker into your hand. It's little red flakes of something. Hmm.
The armory master informs you that the kitchen is in a corner of the Mess hall and gives you the meat and bread you desire. You wander off to the kitchen, food in hand.
Go to the VR machine and put on the goggles/gloves.
You get yourself suited up in the VR machine and sit down. The display in the goggles brings up several choices.
>Battle of Hexbarax
>Poacher
>Punch many things
>Duel
>Tinker.
((Ok.))
I will read a little while you perform the surgery.
Go to the AM and ask for a book about landscapes and read it. Wait for Bruce's brain surgery.
You get yourself a nice book of landscapes by someone named Ansel Adams and flip through it while the doctor does what the doctor does best. They're nice shots, but you wonder why this guy didn't use color film?
wander around the sword, looking for a book. if i find one, take it to the barracks and read on my bed. if someone else is reading it, read over their shoulder instead. if someone else is just carrying it around, follow them from place to place until they set it down, then take it. avoid May.
while wandering around I avoid eye contact and hold my hands behind my back. edging around people as needed, and not moving with any real hurry.
You start sniffing around the ship, looking for a book someone has discarded or left behind. You avoid the armory, because may's there, but give everything else a good look over. The only thing you find is that, in the locker room, you think you can see a book in one of the lockers through the little air circulation slots near the top.
"I see... I guess that'll be something to purchase later. What sort of conventional weapon is good for keeping enemies away?"
"Depends what you mean. A 1/8th kiloton bomb keeps people a well away."
