((Aha, no.

And that's why I'm looking for it.))

[Lenglon]

Grate notices Lyra and follows.
"Lyra, what are you doing in here?"

Sharply look up at Grate, my shoulders hunched up a little, then look back down after a quarter-second. a quarter second later, look back up at him. then look over at the door to the back areas, where people are actually treated, as I clench and unclench my hands twice. then look back over to Grate. swallow. wet my lips, and attempt to speak.
"I..."
"I..."
swallow again, then look down as I shake my head twice. then stand up and quietly shuffle out of the room.

((I have set up a folder on Google Docs to serve as the repository of tinker creations.))
((This folder currently contains 4 documents: Conventional+Ammo, Unconventional, Exotic and Auxiliary+Programs.
All are editable by anyone with this link or the one i shall put in my signature so feel free to upload your creations.

I have included Nikitian's designs along with my own because i stole his armory layout thingy.))

((Edit: Would you guys prefer links directly to the documents or just leave it at the folder?))

"Ah, I think I'll stick with the original then.  Good to know, though.  Oh, what would happen if I tried to have a decompensator or an amp installed?"
Count tokens after repairs and resupplies.
"Hey, computer, is the ten mission system still relevant?  I lost track of how many missions I've completed a while ago."

[Sean Mirrsen]

((Okay, banking on the fact that Anton is already in Tinker and therefore shall not trigger gassing by technically not entering it, I shall try to continue. With shortened clarifications for PW's benefit.))

So when you say useable by a human, does that include ones in exoskeletons and or very strong ones? Because what you're basically making here is a infinite use telsa arc and it's gonna end up around the same size. Ie big and heavy and usable only by the very strong or mechanically aided. But it's still small enough to be used by a human in the same way that a GE M134 Minigun is technically man portable.

Otherwise, everything looks good.

((I would mean "regular-man-portable", so as bulky as a minigun is a bit too much. Also, it might be an infinite use tesla arc, but it's an infinite use tesla arc with a great deal more accuracy and much more than 50 feet of effective range.
In atmosphere, at least. Everywhere else it's just an oversized laser rifle and cattleprod.))

Tinkery actions:

Spoiler: Working on the Gungnir (click to show/hide)

Save the last modification (the Tesla-Arc sized bulky one) as Gungnir-M, and return to the original design with the Tesla Saber. Keep the Saber this time, but perform laser surgery (heh) on the laser's power system. Copy the battery's plug shape and construct a sort of a custom stock for the rifle, that would hold a generator powering it. Make the rifle's original stock, if it had one, detachable, and make the custom generator-stock fit into the same mountings, at the same time plugging into the battery compartment. (I'm figuring if the Red Hand's generator can fit on a gauntlet, a Laser Rifle can be fed with a sufficiently compact one too) Add an extra compartment to the forward grip, slung under the body of the rifle, allowing up to two extra batteries for the Tesla Saber to be conveniently loaded for up to three minutes of continuous fire or saber-bayonetting. Test the design, with generator, for human-usability. It should ideally be no more bulky than a SAW, like say the Minimi (Minimi Para preferable).

Spoiler: Working on Gungnir, abridged (click to show/hide)

Basically return to the original model that paired the Laser Rifle and the Tesla Saber. Add a compartment for two extra Saber batteries, and create a custom "generator stock" for the Rifle, allowing at least it to be used continuously with minimal modification (plugging into the standard battery compartment while having the form-factor of a rifle stock) and as few custom parts as possible.

After trying out the design (should work as well as it originally did I guess), estimate the price and see how far it goes beyond my meager funds.

((I'm guessing... well, by the old standby it should end up around 10 token, 2 for the rifle, 5 for the saber, 2 for the generator, 1 for the conversion parts. This is not including the two extra saber batteries, which are optional. Might maybe get 1 back for returning the battery pack, or just save a token by buying one of the no-resale rifles.

So I'm short 2 or 3 token. If anyone on the Diamond Heart team wants a prototype lightning cannon for the assault mission, feel free to contribute. ))

[Prosperus]

Go to the doctor and find out whether Lukas' tokens can be used to fund an upgrade that doesn't require Lukas to dig in before firing his particle cannon.

((Ill happily lend you whatever i have left after getting my auxiliary pulse rifle system set up.))

[Sean Mirrsen]

((Ill happily lend you whatever i have left after getting my auxiliary pulse rifle system set up.))

((Thanks. Assuming I'm not terribly off in my estimates, and am not failing horribly at mock weapons design, the whole thing will look something like this:

Spoiler: "Gungnir-S" Composite Electrolaser Weapon (click to show/hide)

With a total length in the vicinity of a meter (80-90cm), and a mass of eight to nine kilograms. Maybe ten. Maybe less? Final strength rq of 4, probably.

...what? I am allowed to imagine fictional weapons in entirely superfluous real-world detail, no? ))

[Unholy_Pariah]

((Gotta love them nuclear stocks, seriously though it looks awesome, ill try to keep 3 tokens leftover after getting all my shit together.))

[Corsair]

((Hey how many tokens/statpoints / levelup stuff do I get for the long mission?))

[Unholy_Pariah]

10~15 tokens,10 stats ,6 skills.

[Zako]

((It's a double level up basically. Lucky you!))

Bishop scratches his head for a moment awkwardly as he tries to come up with proper sounding words, and then approaches the armoury master.

"Hey. Um. I'm pretty shitty at this whole talking thing, which is kind of expected when you've been around machines and AI's longer than people, so I'm just gonna be straight with you.

The whole Mark 3 suit recommendation thing you did? It kinda saved my life and the lives of my team more than once... So I guess I'm trying to say... Thanks?"

He shakes himself and lets out a quick breath.

"Wow, that was awkward. Let's get back to something easier, namely, talking about ways of maiming the enemy. I'm thinking about getting a pair of retractable blades on my forearms for close combat, but I'm not sure how feasible it is. What do you think? Reckon you can make it work well against lots of stuff?"

Talk to the armoury master. Be embarrassed at my lack of people skills.

[BFEL]

Er did anyone agree to loan me a token?
I have no idea because my last post was apparently more then TWENTY PAGES ago.
Seriously, what the hell guys. All those pages are just arguing. I no longer know what the hell is going on

[SeriousConcentrate]

(I've got that problem myself. If no one lent you one, just ask Jim for a loan. Since I got paid back I have two tokens... although I thought I was owed three? Eh, whatever. I have enough to loan you one, anyway. )

[Sean Mirrsen]

((Hey how many tokens/statpoints / levelup stuff do I get for the long mission?))

10~15 tokens,10 stats ,6 skills.

((That, and post your levelup to receive tokens. PW's altered the debrief process slightly because there were so many of us this time.

Future missions should really be more... well, staggered in time. So that we don't end more than one mission of more than 10 or so people at once. It really puts a strain on our GM.))
