Saw Pacific Rim yesterday. It's really good, you should go see it.

Just hold yourself back from nitpicking, because if you start, you won't stop. For instance, the giant robots are given no weapons and just have to punch things to death. Until we suddenly, in the last 1/4th of the movie find out that they all had swords and shit built into their arms and just decided never to use them despite the fact that they are extremely effective.

Still, its the best damn Mecha movie I've ever seen.

(I still insist that using a level select isn't cheating. )

"I really don't care about 99.9% of the universe. Just narrow it down to mine." Jim didn't think he was callous for saying so; he just felt it was impossible for a single entity to actually care about what happened to every other entity in the universe. What person, when one got down to the heart of it, really, truly cared about more than maybe the ten people closest to them?

The man runs a finger around the edge of his glass.

"How about a year into the future then? Long enough?"

(it's become somewhat of a running joke that the little girl is the hardest opponent in this game. I think only Jim and Lukas have beaten her; and both by cheating in one way or another.)

The little girl's next move is to stand there and berate you for losing to a 10 year old in pig tails. She calls you some very naughty names as well, including the D word.

Ahh, mon petite enfant.. it is my pleasure to lose to one so refined such as you.  Please forgive me for the transgression of raising my hand against vous.

Stay calm, and plan out the kick I want to deliver next round to the girl's knee.  How I'd need to turn to keep balance if I whiff, how I need to block her if she strikes first, etc.  (I want a dynamic bonus to the strike next round, like aiming a gun)

You very carefully plan out how you're gonna beat a small girl into submission.

Nothing crazy about that at all.

Head up top. Stay under cover. Try and determine where they're firing from.

You poke your head out just or an instant to see where they are. The ground around the tower is surrounded by what look like shipping containers of various sizes; a maze of them 360 degrees around the tower. You don't see anyone and no one is firing for the moment.

Hmm...where could they be....

Which one of the four paths would I need to take to make that detour?

Also, how do the voices sound? Does it seem they are moving towards me or moving at all, like a search party?

It would be the second one on the right, follow it straight, then slight right to the elevator, down two floors, through the catwalk that bisects the 30th landing bay, left past there, up a ladder two stories, then to the connecting intersection.

The voices are occasional, relaxed and stationary, from what you can tell. Two people talking; maybe working on something, maybe just hanging around, avoiding the foreman.

"What a weird flask."

Time to wake up? Otherwise, explore the core a bit more.

You wake up, since drifting mindlessly through space is only entertaining for so long.

((Sounds like the kind of movie where I would annoy any friends sitting within a seat or two of me.))

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Are we talking relative time or universal time? Because the latter is useless to me. It's likely I'll spend most if not all of it in stasis as the 'Sword jumps through space. What about occasional flashes of the future - premonitions, if you will?"

It's mostly fridge logic sort of stuff. Stuff you think of later. The weapon thing is probably the biggest one.

"Are we talking relative time or universal time? Because the latter is useless to me. It's likely I'll spend most if not all of it in stasis as the 'Sword jumps through space. What about occasional flashes of the future - premonitions, if you will?"

"Subjective time, of course."

It may be a bit for that. Since she's running the thing for Milno right now. Keep in mind you're not gonna get bonuses or anything from it, just practical knowledge.

[GreatWyrmGold]

((I'm basing my guess in part on what you said and in part on a review I read yesterday. In part on the previews and the audience I suspect they're trying to get, or more specifically how the plots of those movies tend to be.))

[SeriousConcentrate]

"So premonitions are right out then?" If that was the case, then that meant there was no such thing as free will and choice. The whole of reality was predetermined. What use would a premonition be if there was no chance to avoid or change what was going to happen?

[Devastator]

(Kaiju!)

Launch the kick

(I would think the bar for crazy would be higher here than the standard one.  After all, I've never lifted a giant elevator full of soldiers with my rocket-packs, while fleeing an alien Von Neumann monstrosity.)

[Spinal_Taper]

Continue waiting. Drop back into the tower, listen for shots.

[Knight Otu]

Enter the VR, set up a random duel.

Couldn't have been too easy.

Keeping walking towards the entrance the voices are coming from, noting any change in their tone or any noise accusing movement.
