"You know your alright, you have a name?"
Don't drop my guard, counter-attack her next move.

[Empiricist]

((I wonder what will happens if she gives different answers to everyone who is questioning her.))

[Lenglon]

hold my hands behind my back and Follow Feyri.

still doing this

same time, same place, same plan

I have a plan. It may be the exact same thing as last time, but it's my plan and i like it.

[leafbarrett]

((So the Tinker system needs me to be specific to really get anywhere, huh? All right then. I can do specific. Oh, can I ever.
Designation system: A#Mx. # is thickness of armor times 2. x is material, abbreviated to 1 letter. These are so it's easy to type up the name for each in your reply, Piecewise. You're welcome.))

Set the screen with AI information to the side for later. "Have to get the Eyes' designs functioning first..."
((The plan is to eventually give the Eyes a full AI in the sense of self-learning, self-thinking, emotion-having AI, capable of acting on its own if Celeste is incapacitated or otherwise unable to direct it. The Eyes will share one collective AI, which will be contained separately from the eyes; the eyes themselves will only have rudimentary self-sufficient functions in case they lose connection with the main control center. The best way I can think to describe it is that each Eye will be like a "hand" with the control center acting as the "brain"; in the same way that we can control the parts of our body independently, the control center will be able to individually control the Eyes. Obviously the 3 laws will have to be implemented in some fashion, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.))

Examine an Eye more closely. Look for any specific details to keep in mind while armoring and equipping, as well as any less obvious functions that may be useful. Take note of these prior to testing armor and equipment.

Leave one Eye unarmored as a control. Designation A0M0.

Give one Eye 7068 aluminum alloy, 0.5 inches thick, making sure not to obstruct the rocket ports. Designation A1MA.
Repeat armoring with another Eye, at 1 inch. Designation A2MA.
Repeat armoring with another Eye, at 1.5 inches. Designation A3MA.
Repeat armoring with another Eye, at 2 inches. Designation A4MA.

Give one Eye titanium aluminide plating, 0.5 inches thick, making sure not to obstruct the rocket ports. Designation A1MM.
Repeat armoring with another Eye, at 1 inch. Designation A2MM.
Repeat armoring with another Eye, at 1.5 inches. Designation A3MM.
Repeat armoring with another Eye, at 2 inches. Designation A4MM.

Give one Eye grade 38 titanium alloy plating, 0.5 inches thick, making sure not to obstruct the rocket ports. Designation A1MT.
Repeat armoring with another Eye, at 1 inch. Designation A2MT.
Repeat armoring with another Eye, at 1.5 inches. Designation A3MT.
Repeat armoring with another Eye, at 2 inches. Designation A4MT.

Test mobility and top speed of each Eye. Record results.
Test durability of each by simulating an impact equivalent to crashing into a surface at 10MPH. Examine each Eye's armor, then remove armor and examine each Eye for damage. Record results. Undo any damage sustained to the Eyes and their armors, completely respawning the Eyes as needed, then reattach their respective armors.
Repeat testing/recording/repairing process, increasing impact speed simulation by 10MPH each time, until none of the Eyes survive the impact. Record each Eye's maximum durability.

((I find it interesting how any character, no matter the background, turns into a physics, metallurgy, and chemistry guru as soon as they enter Tinker. ))

[Feldrain]

((Kinda wondering how I get started. Is there some hangar Seth's supposed to be dropped in on, or do I just pop out of thin space air...))

((You'll notice I had Celeste pull up screens with information before starting to work. Basically, she's using the Internet to assist her when she doesn't know something herself. I found those alloys through cursory research online, so she wouldn't have much trouble finding the information.))

((I find it amusing that Xan believes he'll
a. find a smart person in the HMRC
b. find a smart person in the HMRC that will help him mess with the VRs
c. find a smart person in the HMRC that will help him mess with the VRs while Steve and the VR addicts are watching.))

((You start naked and covered in stasis SPACE goo in the SPACE barracks (sometimes, the SPACE goo is still inside your SPACE lungs). You have just been ejected from your stasis SPACE pod. There is a SPACE box labeled SPACE clothes next to you. You somehow obtain five SPACE tokens after you wake up from your SPACE stasis (people usually find them in the SPACE clothes they take from the SPACE box, although if you go naked I don't know where they'll be stored). That is all.))

[Toaster]

((Well, you do KNOW where they will be stored.  You just don't want to think about it.))

(( Many SPACE thanks to you. Oh, this is going to be interesting. I will probably post when I get home then.))

[Feldrain]

(( I was kinda hoping someone else would post before I got back. So sorry for the double post...))


Recover from any sort of SPACE grogginess. Shake off SPACE stasis goo. Collect the SPACE clothes from the SPACE box.

*Looks around* "So, uh...Where's the SPACE welcome party?"

[Thearpox]

((It's okay. It's kinda slow right now because of the finals everywhere, and Piecewise is also moving, so don't expect much until the start of the summer. Although if I was you, I'd just edit my post. But that's just me, I edit my posts all the time.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((I've been planning this--on and on, mostly off--for weeks.))

"Where's the guy I'm supposed to punch? Oh, look, a little girl!"

Go hug the girl to incapacitate her with confusion, cooties, and/or a hug.

((If Defeat == Friendship, surely Friendship == Defeat?))

((Doesn't work like that. You've got to charm her first. Use your charisma, which is.... oh.

(Why do hugs need a Charisma check? Dexterity, sure, if the target is moving, but Charisma is for how they react to the hug.

Oh.)

No, but if you actually want to pull that off you should behave as you would with a dangerous animal. Keep your distance, no sudden movements, no rushing ahead. Just trying to hug her will just result in her doing what I would've done in her situation. ie: freak out, punch, punch again, jump backwards.))

(Well, I'll see how this works out.)

((I wonder what will happens if she gives different answers to everyone who is questioning her.))

((The players will all come up with crazy theories to explain it. Next question.))

[Parisbre56]

Have I ever talked to you about the dangers of hugging?
Grate's mention of a dex roll for hugging reminded me of that.

Also, Thearpox, even though an avatar may seem like a good choice, it's actually a waste of tokens, because it has very limited use. You can only use them in battles in open spaces and to handle extremely large and dangerous objects in open spaces. Except if you take the standard HMRC approach to solving problems and start blowing them up.

[Lenglon]

((well, standards do exist for a reason...))
