Wait a sec where did my stuff go? o.o

Level up, all points in DEX and UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPONS, then go try to get a CYBORG ARM.

[Xantalos]

Pop out of VI and go over to the old guy.
Because bored with blowing up fake things.

((And so the mad dash for Tinker has begun.))

((I'm hoping to construct/prototype something useful before the heck breaks loose, so that someone on the insurgence teams can field-test it for me. ^_^))

((And so the mad dash for Tinker has begun.))

((Indeed. TO TINKER!!!))

Open up Tinker and get to work. Also, price-check on Uncon overcompensator? Specifics spoilered for space conservation.))

Spoiler: Tinker Work (click to show/hide)

1. Load up a mid-powered generator.
2. See if I can find an adjustable transformer.
3. Investigate options for a universal power adapter. Would nano-magic work? I know you don't normally like it, but it's relatively minor here.

1. Open up a separate file.
2. Would it be possible for me to make it so that I can place a kinetic amp after a short ~6 inch section of powered gauss rifle and then use the force from the impact to power the following shot? Think like a two-stage rocket- the first section powers the second faster. Similar to what Grate's trying, but instead of a hammer-like thing powering the amp, use a gauss shot.

[Alarith]

((Yeah that and the ability to search for secret functions, just figured that I'd phrase it in a way that would make better sense for the character.))  Having brushed up on the weaponry, Jack decided to see what the recreation room had to offer.  Head to the rec room.
Edit: Spelling error.

Go get my flamethrower, then go to Miyamoto

"Hey, Miya, brought your merchandise. Say, any chance I can borrow an additional 6 tokens? I'll pay em back as soon as I can, promise."

Sell the flamethrower with spare cannister to Miyamoto for 2 tokens, borrow 6 additional tokens if he lets me

[kisame12794]

"Thanks. Wish I could remember how I did it. Or what these goggles do. Damn xenos."

Head to armory, talk to the AM.

"Excuse me, but since we are about to begin a galactic mutiny, I was wondering if I could bounce some ideas for defenses off you. I would go to the VR but I'm certain they're all full, and it's going to get ugly there. Oh, and Steve, how much free reign are you going to give us in terms of creating barricades? Could we cut into walls and such?"

((It begins. Oh do I have ideas for barricading the fuck out of the Sword. Also, green hexagons appear to be something wearable. Both Simus's Phase armor(8 token), and Morul's weirdvision goggles(3 token) were green hexes.))

[wolfchild]

Make the focusing chamber from something a bit stronger than steel

OK now make an arm mount for the weapon and place the trigger on the glove, specifically a 2 part trigger, one in the palm of the hand, that gets pressed when the hand is balled into a fist, the other on the side of the index finger, ready to be pressed by the thumb. once this is done objectively test just firing, and swigging while firing(coming to a stop as I push the button), do this by summoning  a long row of 1cm thick panes of glass, the amount of panes broken should tell relative strength, test each fire mode 10 times (still actualy a small sample size but it will give me the gist)

[Empiricist]

Well, the man named "Bishop" should be onboard now... I might as well verify...
Charles attempts to will the sheep back to him.

[IronyOwl]

(( Has anyone had a box with a green hexagon before? It might give me a hint to whats inside the box. ))

((Green hexagons included Simus' phase armor and Morul's goggles of seeing weird stuff.
Gold hexagons we haven't had yet.))

((We haven't had that many data points yet, but there's been a lot of very speculative theorycrafting as to the code.

What we know so far:

Green Square, Horizontal Line: Some sort of silver armor that flowed strangely over its wearer. Exact effects unknown.
Green Hexagon, No Line: Simus' Phase Armor. Appears to let her phase through solid matter with a successful Will check.
Green Hexagon, No Line: Morul's Goggles. I'm not caught up enough on the mission thread to know if we've learned anything else, but they let him see a lot about things... and seem to have permanently altered his vision. Also thin men creeping about in vision mode.

Gold Triangle, Vertical Line: Strange box with a note on it saying "I'm not coming back this time" or similar. Creepy as hell, but never tested, so effects unknown.
Gold Heptagon, Vertical Line: Timmy's Sphere. Ho-lee shit. A fascinating marble thing that altered someone to let them use space magic, which repeatedly warped his form in the process. Overuse resulted in the host being completely taken over and his soul banished to a timeless dimension of madness, presumably waiting his chance to feast on some other sap. Timmy's Tears are a result of this madness, and someone else who abused those was then eaten by whatever Timmy had become.
Gold Heptagon, Diagonal Line: Death Cube. Magic cube, wielder managed to disintegrate themselves using its incomprehensible control scheme.

We also have data on several more items, but they're less relevant to the specifics of you two's boxes.


So, what might potentially be true:

Red we're(I'm) guessing is weapons. The one item we've gotten is a weapon, and it's the only pure weapon we've gotten. It could also potentially be "handheld."
Blue appears to be either medical, medicinal, or chemical in nature. Everything blue has been a drug-ish-thing of some sort. Two have had permanent effects, one is unknown.
Purple may be self modification or similar. Of the two items we've gotten, one was Mesk's ultraregen, and the other has been Chin's voices flask.
Green seems to be wearables. All three items have been wearable, which seems like an odd category, but here we are.
Gold I have theorized to be "weird ass shit." We've got some sort of weird portal box, a magic death sphere, and a doom box. Gold may be things that mess with reality in ways that really aren't intended, although why Morul's goggles aren't on there is anyone's guess. Maybe not weird enough?

Shape we don't have any particularly good leads on. There seems to have been a very general progression of strength/complexity/danger from circle to heptagon, but that's it and it's a bit shaky. For instance, blue circle turned out a permanent painkiller- just, literally a pill that made you not feel pain anymore. Gold heptagon turned out the deathspheres and death cube.

On the other hand, purple pentagon was Chin's voices flask, while Mesk's ultragen was only purple square. So... Chin's flask, which fills him with the souls of departed HMRC members or somesuch, is more useful/powerful/dangerous/complex than Mesk's robots that instantly repair most damage he takes? Seems peculiar, which may push it away from objective "usefulness" or similar and more towards the subjective, double-edged versions. Or we could be completely wrong.

Lines we're really strained for. It seems like they should be modifiers for the rest, which is why I secretly suspect they're the most important attribute and PW is trolling us. That said:

No line I'm not sure of. There's no pattern I can figure out, which may imply it's a lack of category like you'd expect.
Vertical has seemed fucking weird, but both our verticals were also gold, so take that with a grain of salt. Timmy's Sphere and that peculiar "no return" box were both vertical; that could also imply something about danger, interdimensional travel, utility, or just about anything else.
Horizontal has seemed defensive or maybe largely benign, but again, not enough data. The black sphere that produced whatever pill Gorat wanted it to produce, Mesk's ultragen, and Simus' shifting armor have all been horizontal. They're also all been squares, so...
Diagonal, from the two samples we have, might mean aggressive, dangerous, flexible, or complex. Morul's death cube and a weird, seemingly alive, twitching throwing star type thingy both came out of diagonals.))

Go get my flamethrower, then go to Miyamoto
"Hey, Miya, brought your merchandise. Say, any chance I can borrow an additional 6 tokens? I'll pay em back as soon as I can, promise."
Sell the flamethrower with spare cannister to Miyamoto for 2 tokens, borrow 6 additional tokens if he lets me

"Oh yeah, that flamethrower of yours. Not exactly the most stealthy of weapons huh?. Anyway, here are your two tokens, as was agreed upon.

Won't be able to lend you those 6 tokens just yet though. Because a) I still need to do some modifications to Gilgamesh in Vr, so I might need my tokens for that, and b) you might be able to get some tokens from Milno if we indeed get some sort of extra budget for this mission. Come back to me once you know for sure you won't get those tokens otherwise. That ok with you?"

Pay the man his 2 tokens, get flammenwerfer in return. Don't lend him the tokens yet.


VR tinker actions:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1) check how much TPU the mining laser needs. Look it up using the laser's serial number or just ask AM if I can't find it.
2) check if this is in the same range of what a tesla sabre needs
3) token cost on generator that's capable of providing sustained laser fire OR tesla sabre charge (generator doesn't need to be capable of powering both at the same time)
4) design a mount for 'barrel' of mining laser, should be capable of at least turning around a little bit on its own. Make sure it can shoot 'up' (again, so that it could be used while flying towards something). Can I just say it like this, or would you like more detailed description of how this would work?
5) check if generator can be integrated inside suit, if not if it could fit somewhere on the back (between the rocket pods perhaps?)
6) Check how fragile this construction would be (in terms of, could it easily be shot or destroyed) and if there is a chance of it damaging Gilgamesh if something happens to it. Also see if the suit's regular systems (like electrical defense system) are hindered by this design, and if using said system could damage the laser or generator. If yes, would it be possible to circumvent this?
7) Doublecheck if this set-up would use AUX as a roll
8 ) Add a little cable or port to backside of Gilgamesh/generator itself to allow this generator to power something else if need arises.
9) token cost of this whole ordeal (integrating laser + integrating generator + cost to have AM build this)

10) spawn tesla sabre. Check if laser's generator could provide power to sustain sabre use. If not, what would need to be added/modified to allow this?
11) check token price of following systems for powering sabre (this including any costs from AM her handiwork + cost sabre itself + any special battery or cables and whatnot):
      -cable going from generator, through battlesuit, coming out of right arm directly into sabre
      -rechargeable battery (that could power sabre for about 2 minutes), with port added on generator to allow battery to be recharged in the field
      -hybrid of previous: cable going into rechargeable battery already inside sabre. Cable could directly power sabre or charge its battery ( battery for about 1 minute)
12)same as 6 but for the sabre and its components

13) see if flammenwerfer could be integrated into suit by having its fuel cannisters somewhere on the back, like say between the rocket pods or somewhere else where they would be at least a little protected. The business end of the werfer would either be wrist-mounted on the left hand, or (preferably) from a little hole in the left hand (mostly so I could use kinetic amp to punch through whatever protection a foe has, then to open up hand and release fiery death on the more vulnerable inside). Make sure there is a system in place so no fuel is left inside the tube after it has been used (so that, if the tanks get hit or something, there would be no fuel inside the arm to frak it up).
14) same as 6 but for flammenwerfer and components.
15) what roll would using the flamethrower use if this set-up works? Con or Aux?
16) token check for integrating flammenferwer

((Sorry for asking this much of you at once, but I really want to have this done before we leave for our next mission.

Also, question: could you explain how those 'special techniques'/'custom techniques' work again? what are the prerequisites for creating one? Talking about stuff like this.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

Yeah, thats doable, though there are only 3
focusing chambers to work with, so it's gonna be
more like one on each side, then one on each side
to feed into that center one, then one to focus the
center one.

Also, when you say dual beam, do you mean fires
two beams or just uses the energy of the two
beams?

I guess that'll have to do, dual beam uses the energy of both but still only fires a single beam.

save project under filename heavy pulsed laser, check firing range statistics for all four firing modes. (Standard two + overcharged 2)

Begin tinkering with my weapons hardmount.

Spoiler: prosthetic hardmount (click to show/hide)

-load robo body, dismantle head.
-construct a base for the hardmount that slots into the neckport for structural integrity whilst also maintaining the connections linking the eyeball cameras to the braincase. Install the suits speaker in the front of this.
-attach an electronic pivot joint to this base capable of 360 degree lateral coverage and 270-300 degrees of vertical coverage.
-attach a sort of clamping holster to the pivot allowing it to hold any weapon. Attach the prosthetic eyes to the upper corners of this clamp and link them back into the suit.
-copy the aiming and firing subroutines from the gunner bot and use them to control the turret.
-add in some targetting subroutines allowing for voice command targetting as well as hand gesture targetting, make the turret hold its fire until specifically commanded and include commands for keep firing, supressive fire, switch firing modes and overcharge shots.

Spoiler: and just for fun (click to show/hide)

-load my armored WWII flamethrower.
-install gauss coils along the legth of the barrel and the fuel cable.
-remove all valves.
-encase a generator powered plasma acummulation chamber in a case capable of attaching to the backpack frame. The accumulator is to have an enlarged containment field reminiscent of a fuel storage tank. This containment field is to be mechanically sustained not automanipulated.
-link the trigger to a switch that toggles between power going to the acummulator and power going to the gauss coils whils simultaneously disabling the part of the containment field blocking the path from the accumulator to the fuel line.
-pull virtual trigger

((Darn, now I need to get myself 6 more tokens before the mission begins. If I don't, i'll be mighty useless, overshooting all the time. Are there really no takers for a cheap MKII? I seem to remeber at least one person from the long mission expressing interest))
