You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

Its this bit here where you go wrong.

 "prevent the steel with a kinetic
amplifier on the end,"

Prevent the steel from doing what? And how?

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Ah that's the problem, I need to proofread more, that was leftover from before i decided that part had to come later, still, I have done a crappy MSPAINT thing of what I am after, not to scale of course

Spoiler: fairly large image (click to show/hide)

The japanese may have stolen the MK3.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beKkf8Oo0GU

It's even called the MK 3
I really hope there were some translation issues there, because it looks like they're recommending using the exosuit costing an eighth of a million dollars or so was a cooking utensil and fashion accessory.
Of course, it's hard to tell how serious that is...and while I'm at it, how do you control the fingers?
Oh yeah, and it's not airtight, so don't try to use it as a space suit.

((Really? And what is the difference in the ratios then? Also, I think you're going a little overboard with the contrast. Simply because May has adopted this attitude doesn't mean the rest of the team did. I haven't seen anyone actually truly abandoned as you were running away.))
*ahem*
((Not our fault you played a fully-grown character in heavy powered armor.))

((hey piecewise i have a question about kinetic amps, it says in the armory they can amplify kinetic force by up to a square of the original, does this mean that they can be tweaked to provide equal or lesser amounts of force as well?))
((Since they're essentially automanipulators with nothing but perhaps a battery in terms of external components, I doubt it's really feasible to tweak them, per se. "Up to a square" is in terms of efficiency - the more force amplified, the more of it is lost to heat.))
((...Huh? So, with more energy, more is lost to heat, despite the fact that the amplification factor is much higher?))

(( No, I was plenty close at the time. Feyri was actually ahead of most of us when she died, in the middle of the second level terrace while we were on the second level stair. One of us could have easily tried to do something as we ran past, if we weren't quite so panicked about the ice... And my character was well and truly panicked about the ice XD ))

((Someone apparently tried to save her body, but no dice. The MkIII plus Feyri's mostly robotic body made it so that you'd need two people to carry it.))

((There's a very interesting contrast between the people in regards to each mission's scenario. While the situations are similar, but there's the "FUCK THIS FUCK EVERYONE", and "Well let's all hug and end it all poetically." I hypothesize this is due in direct ratio to the number of newbies-per-veterans in each mission.))
((Really? And what is the difference in the ratios then? Also, I think you're going a little overboard with the contrast. Simply because May has adopted this attitude doesn't mean the rest of the team did. I haven't seen anyone actually truly abandoned as you were running away.))

((Perhaps instead of newbies-to-veterans I just mean that all the characters, besides Xan, in mission 10 are all good-natured folks, while on mission 9 there's lotsa' hate being spewed about. There was a little of that, but when I opened Mission 9 there was an aura of "oh look at this shit its gonna' be good" from a spectator perspective.))

(( Well, to be fair to mission 9, probably 25% of the horrible, terrible things that have happened to them have been directly related to player action :P
Bad rolls on player action, but the characters don't know that.

We really only had 2 things go wrong over on mission 10, and they went wrong a) sequentially and b) so cataclysmicly that a character stopping to be angry at someone was like asking to get your head taken off by an icicle XD

Also, mission 9 has been there for a year. We will have been there for... less than 10 hours. Wow. We've destroyed a city in 10 hours. My gods. I hope Faith's mission went well enough that this is going to be a 'success' XD ))

((Well, the way I see it, it's not so much that you destroyed a city in 10 hours, it's that you did so ON ACCIDENT. Because I don't doubt that the HMRC could destroy a city in far less time if they were trying to, but this happened all because of accidents and bad rolls.))

"I... Dunno."
Thomas looked up and shrugged.
"He hasn't decided yet."
He looked around, searching for a source of the voice and sigh, then saw her elsewhere. With a shrug, he went back to drinking and waiting.
Comfortably drunk yet? If not, take a shot. If so, take a shot. Examine the designs on the card
