((Assuming that my kinetic amp doesn't require some sort of surgery to install into my head.))

"Now to use these things"

Head to the VR room and experiment with my amp. Start with an unarmed target with no armor and proceed to more difficult ones.

((PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE SAY ENTER VR FIRST!))

((THIS. THIS!

Not that I have to worry personally, mind you. :3))

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Yeah makes me glad I decided to open the box and speak to the doc and not go to the VR this turn.... ))

[Lenglon]

"Are you trying to say something?"

after several seconds of silently waiting, shake my head once and go back to what I was doing, entering VR to try out the sandbag.

Do not get punched by this person
((kinetic amps aren't like other amps, they're basically punching gloves designed to punch through anything.))

Avoid looking like a target.

[Kriellya]

Awesome. Hey, who was selling that MKII and for how much? Also, do you know how much the AM will give you in exchange, or are you just trying to give some of us newer inm... soldiers a fighting chance?

Head to the Armory, ask how much everything except my manipulator could be returned for. Ask about recharging the battery for the manipulator
(( I have a toolbox and I think a random collection of medical supplies from the planet? Your list indicates that I have a painkiller, which I think is the latter of those? ))

[Doomblade187]

((My character's still carrying his gear around, so he's not unarmed. At least I won't be the first target.))

[PyroDesu]

((With my armor on and carrying around a large assortment of weapons, I surely can't be his first target. And I pity him if he tries it on me, I still have my armor on. What a shock it would be to him to end up destroying the VR behind me.

And then he'd have to face me, with the fact that he likely just put his hand through my brain(case).))

Arguing for tokens and regarding debriefing:

First of all, debriefing everyone at once is better, as it allows us to see who was forgotten, mess things up less, and have a single repository for everything. If it's a bother to get everyone in the briefing rooms, why can't we just get debriefed without wasting a turn, and just have us all "abstractly" gathered.

The flatground samples seem to be extremely efficient at absorbing energy, specifically lasers as long as they're struck on their "surface". It's an interesting property we're trying to back engineer into something protective.

Rocklice samples are interesting, but the R&D people can't see a use for them yet.

The "raditite" crystal and beads have interesting energy generation and storage capacities. It may lead to rather useful power system advancements.

Iron sea wasn't useful.

The lake bed samples are somewhat unique and might be able to be used for self sealing suit technology. Maybe.

Those rock worm samples are fascinating our xenobiologists but our scientists can't think of anything to do with them.

And last, those things Flint found; the blobs that flint found with the metallic stuff inside them. They appear to be some for of rudimentary biological computer of sorts. More on that to come.

You seem to have forgotten about the weird fog-tree area, of which Vich took a lot of samples. (Air, water, ground, tree, leaves, fruit.)

I don't see the crystals and the pole covered with crystals, that we gathered from the the half-shuttle lay.

Dust storm samples, although they were probably were useless.

What about the Purple Sea sample that Flint found?

And finally, the carcasses of the sound worms that attacked us.

Now for the IC stuff he says to Steve (And I will keep reposting this every turn if you miss it.): "Forgive me if you are too busy to listen, but I feel like I have more accomplishments than just exploring a lot of area. For starters, I helped calm down Morul when he decided to shut down the shuttle, which averted what could have been a firefight which would have probably damaged the base. Now, the base still suffered, but it was fine at the time.

In addition, that "tactical cowardice" that you mentioned would have saved us from hunger if the base kitchen was damaged in any of the two attacks on it. If not for me, our entire food supply would have been in the kitchen.

Moving on, and most importantly, you have mentioned that I myself have not brought many samples, while I was with the team that got them. I may be mistaken, but am I right that we get rewarded as individuals for the samples we bring, and not as a team? Because I believe that we should absolutely be rewarded as a team when we act as a team. Sure, Flint was often the first to grab stuff, but it doesn't mean we wouldn't have grabbed it without him. If you want to encourage teamwork and cooperation, something the HMRC is not known for but something we will need in the oncomning war, then you should reward teamwork. And that means rewarding the team for working as one in getting the samples, not for rushing ahead and trying to scoop something up before your teammates."

(After finishing talking about tokens, and after hearing Steve's reply:) "Independently of talking about tokens, I'd like to talk to you and ask you some questions about planning that one-year expedition. Are there any isolated areas in which I can talk to you in private?"
Other actions for Vich:

Give one token to Jim, one token to Flint. Make sure Zephyris gets debriefed. (No, I'm not going to steal them. But could you do it please? Five tokens if she doesn't deserve the full ten.)

Take off the glasses and discard them. Inform the medbay of my recovery.

Also, if talking with Steve can happen independently of doing this (since I missed a turn anyway,) go to the Armory and
get a listing and prices for armors (but not Mech suits) starting with the Civic Defender's Longcoat, to whatever's in the range of 20-25 tokens. (including stuff like Flint's mining suit.)
Do the same for stealth suits and gadgets, starting with the crappy stuff for several tokens, to the really good in the range of 20-30. (don't forget the stuff the guy in the fifth mission wore.)

To Armory Master: "Since I have some tokens now, and I'm a paranoid person, is it possible for you to store them for me on my name, in case of mugging or accidents?"

A question for Piecewise: How would mission 11 be different if Faith did not volunteer at the last moment? Or if it did actually turn out to be all-newbie.

Also, still waiting for full logs/PM's from Faiths adventures and from the Secret Briefing.

And do I have my MPV and does Unholy have his Rocket bike? Because the reseach team could have taken it. If I still have the MPV, label it as mine, and get it somewhere where it won't shine too much.

Wait! Did I get my MPV in the shuttle? Did Unholy get his Bike? Did we get the radioactive shard?

And you can't just cut away all our actions from the time the sky changed to when the shuttle closed it's doors. I'm pretty sure there was a sizable period of time in between.

And two and a half minutes is still enough to attack a drone to the shuttle!

Shard, yes.
MPV yes.
Rocket bike, Sure.
Attack a drone to the shuttle? Wat.

Must add rocket bike to my inventory

((I'm pretty sure Piecewise said that the research team took everything from us. That surely includes the drones (footage) but also probably the MPV and the Rocket Bike.

For the people talking about Nyars tokens, I like the chart I made better.

And I think you guys shouldn't be scared of him attacking people. Can't remember a single time such a spelling mistake actually resulted in trouble.))

[Pancaek]

Pan turns towards the new face in the armory "Hiya, yes, I'd be the one selling the MKII. Id ask, probably 4 tokens, but we can always negotiate if you think thats too much. Our glorious AM can.give me two tokens for it, if I recall correctly. Giving the new guys some cheaper equipment is a nice plus, of course, but I'm not really doing this out pure altruism. I'm just kinda really in need of spending money right." he taps his head with his knuckles "I neef a good decompensator, ya see, before I go too far with my amp and kill eveyone around me. "

[Parisbre56]

 ((Okay, let's start the fun...))

1.Check the armory master for the price of a scope/rail extension/electronic stabilizer/whatever for the Gauss cannon that could give me a bonus in long range shots.
2.Check the available types of special Gauss cannon ammo.
3.Check if I could trade in the ammo the Gauss cannon comes with for some sort of special ammo, even if I have to trade in 3 regular shots for one special shot.
4.Ask how fast I could recharge my mining laser battery with a generator I get for 1 token.

5.Go to the VR machines, start tinker and try to create a monoatomic whip.((Actually, it's not exactly a whip. Anybody has a better name for it?))
I'll write how I imagine this should work and you will tell me why this won't work, right?

There is the hilt, where there are the necessary electronics and power source, monofilament spooled around a small motor so that it can retract and get the monofilament taut enough to cut, a vibrator that provides the high frequency vibrations necessary for the monofilament to cut and a second vibrator or set of vibrators (or another suitable material or tool. What do monorazors or bolo gun use to solve that problem?) that acts as a dampener so that the weapon doesn't destroy itself by spreading the vibrations to the motor. There are also small buttons and a small joystick to control the upper half of the weapon. Finally there's a small latch that allows the upper and lower halves to be joined for safe holstering and a few scout eye leg tips at the bottom to allow the hilt to be stuck on walls.

The upper half is a modified scout eye. The camera has been removed to save space and weight. It has been covered in shock absorbent material, since this part is supposed to bang around a lot. There's a motor, monofilament spool and vibration dampener similarly to the hilt. There's also a sensor that detects if and how the monofilament is vibrating, as well as where it is pointing towards. The scout eye legs have been repositioned to provide coverage to most of the shell, but mostly to the part of the shell opposite to the sensor. The legs are inside the shock absorbent material to be protected from collisions, but they can extend out to attach themselves to a surface. If the sensor detects that the monofilament is getting dangerously close to touching the edge of the hole, it will reorient the drone to ensure this doesn't happen.

Pressing the main fire button activates the vibrator, the retraction motors and the thrusters on the sensor side of the drone. The secondary fire button simply pulls the scout eye back by activating the motors. Pressing and holding the tertiary fire button will activate the sticky mode (scout legs become attached, vibrators activate) as long as the button is held down. Double pressing it will keep the sticky mode on until the button is pressed again or the hilt or the scout eye becomes detached. Double pressing the tertiary fire button and then pressing the secondary fire button will activate sticky mode and cause the monowhip to act as a trap: when someone triggers it by pulling on the monofilament, it will detach both ends and have the drone home in on the hilt by radio signal and attach itself there while keeping the monofilament taut, thereby trapping the victim in a loop of death. Keeping both primary and secondary fire buttons pressed at the same time will cause the scout eye to home in on the hilt by radio signal, while activating the vibrator and retraction motors. The hilt has a joystick with a loop for the user's thumb to go through that allows the user to manually control the scout eye in relation to the user (left makes it go towards the user's left, forward away from the user, back towards the user, right towards the user's right, being pressed makes the drone go down and being pulled makes it go up. The sensor should take care of the orientation). There's also a small button that controls whether or not the motors let the monofilament wind or unwind or are breaking (stopping it). Finally, the monowhip can have extra functions programmed into a spare button via radio or cable (do they have USBs in the future?).

If the scout eye legs can't take much weight, find something that could fulfill the same role and hold more weight.

If this works, what's the price per length unit of monofilament?

((If this works and is as cheap as I think it will be, it's going to be a perfect unconventional weapon for physimancers. Anybody willing to test it for me if I get it prototyped?))

[SeriousConcentrate]

Addendum to previous action of watching TV in rec room: if someone enters the rec room with a kinetic amp and punches someone, destroy the kinetic amp wielder unmercifully by freezing them solid with the microwave amp and shattering them. If they try to punch someone and miss, take their amp away from them and knock them out with punches from the three hands not holding the amp out of their reach.

(Also, sorry, I missed being asked a question earlier because of all the posts. @_@)

"How many missions have I been on? Six, so far." (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9a, I believe.)

((Six. Only five count. Also, I didn't update it after mission 8. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RHe25AsNcVSm_RF87eBBe0XJ3JdtQIbibnseq6KV8Ew/edit))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(Only five count may count as completed missions, but I've been on six so my answer is still truthful. Also, just noting, but as Cael/Milno and Steve explained earlier, the 'you have to do ten' thing doesn't really apply anymore. If characters REALLY want to leave the HMRC they can do so as soon as the ship lands.)
