"Come on, daddy needs some new gear!"
Open the box, and examine contents.
((The phase suit, my goggles, and my current box are all Green Hexagons. My current box has a horizontal line. GAH. Ninja'd by the gm!))
What was the size on that? I forgot to note it down.
Put on MK2.
Go look for the lizard guy. Stay out of sight.
You slip into your MKII and stalk around until you see the guy the doctor was talking about, hanging around in the middle of the hall near the infirmary. He's staring blankly into space.
Pancaek kinda stands there, flabbergasted.
"the hell is this, everyone keeps saying that these things are practically free and now that I want one you want a bribe? What, am I going to have to rip off my own limbs to get a robot body? Because I will, I'll get blood and guts all over this place. Unless your "arrangement" is reasonable. Then we might be able to skip the flying limbs part. "
Say this to maurice, have a look on face that says "Im totally ready to rip off my own limbs"
((really, I did not see this coming. Now I just sold my MKII to get my decomp, thinking I could get a robo-body. Shit...))
"Listen, if you really want one, just find a way to get yourself decapitated. I'll mark down that you're a Botter and you'll get stuck in a robot body. Just make sure you find a way to do it that doesn't hurt your brain."
"10 tokens.
any tracked armoured vehicles for 10 or less tokens.
"Well, we got a relatively good sized Armored Troop Carrier. It's got a machine gun on it."
Jim heads to the barracks as it's probably the least crowded area, then opens the box and examines the contents.
You get something that looks sort of like a chestplate or vest. It seems to be made of many flat metal squares that all bend and flex like some sort of robotic scale.
((@Pancaek: Charisma roll?)
"Wow, when you put it like that..." Flint paused as he contemplated the war for a few moments. "I hadn't realised we're starting a war that would last so long and have such an effect. Are you sure you want to sell those to me? They way you're talking about it, we could make some money for the war by selling this. Time travel and all. So, how much for 5 of those cigars? Or just 1?"
After he got his answer he continued.
"Could you help me understand something? I'm trying to think of why they will be people fighting against us. Are they simply afraid of change? Or is there a deeper reason? I'm thinking that if I knew the reason, I'd have better chances of persuading them to join us, to end fights nonviolently before they even begin. I... I don't want to hurt people, not if I can help it. I understand that the fighting is necessary. I just think that if I can save at least one man, I won't feel so bad for those I'll be forced to kill."
talk to AM
Also, how much does a large Nyars box cost?
"Right now? Box of twenty is 3 token. Really though, you should be expecting a heck of a lot of things to change. I mean, Once we take over we can end the Tech advancement bans that have stifled advancement. We can end the biotech bans too, if we want. Combined with our time jumping you may find yourself with more to worry about then selling cigars."
"A lot of the soldiers you'll be fighting aren't exactly...normal. Mostly they're Sods; vat grow soldiers with minimal intelligence but good training and a complete lack of self preservation and single minded dedication to their tasks. Higher up you'll be fighting people who have more of a vested interest in their positions, or those who simply do not see the UWM as bad. You must remember that not every Magistar is hopelessly corrupt. Many people grow up and live perfectly comfortable and moderately fulfilling lives. The UWM isn't an evil empire; it's just giant and often corrupt or indifferent, drowning in bureaucracy. We're taking it down because it's on the edge of collapsing into worse things.
You wanna buy a banjo? I'm just checking. I mean, I'm not complaining. I think It would be pretty neat to bring a banjo on missions, play it round the burning corpses and such.
I don't see any reason not to have a banjo.
So yes, buy banjo
Fuck man, I'll just give you a banjo.
Have a banjo.
Banjo.
((Almost there!
And although a rapid fire Gauss cannon is a very enticing idea, if I get the universal manip I could probably just buy some gauss cannon ammo and fling those around.
By the way, when calculating your max mind pool, do you take every point into consideration, or only when there would also be a bonus to rolls (e.g. does 21 intelligence give more mind pool than 20 intelligence?)).
1) How powerful is a AoW heavy laser (cutting laser or other equivalent)? How long does its battery last? How many tokens for extra batteries?
2) How many tokens for extra rapid fire Gauss cannon magazines?
3) So, I could get a standard humanoid AoW that comes installed with a universal manip and either a heavy laser or the rapid fire Gauss cannon?
4) How did that voice weapon that Erik used work (the one that forced people to do will check)? Was it an amp? If yes, is there a manip or technological equivalent?
5 points for each point in the related stat.
1.More powerful then a cutting laser. About 2 tokens more then the cutting laser battery. Maybe a total 90 seconds.
2.Maybe 2 tokens more too.
3. Yep.
4. You don't know. No one really does, as far as your character knows. Maybe someone does, but you don't.
All right.
And he continues searching for lizard dude.

FIIIIIISHWEll, not exactly, but that would be a good base, what I am thinking of, is a program that can recognize simple mathematical processes, such as trigonometry and the simpler derivatives and integrals, basically, once you have simplified the equation enough, the program auto completes it for you
((at most it will make it cost slightly less mind points to do something, because it will only work once the hard part is already done, it juts saves you from having to complete it))
>Doesn't work. A sentient being must complete the work themselves. Otherwise it doesn't work. 5.Is there anything particular about that thing other then just being big and having teeth and claws for the stabby bites?
((It also has a pair of arms attached to the forelegs. And regeneration. And lots of eyes. And it gets a bit tougher each regeneration. And it has a lot of eyes. And acidic spittle. And a team of other psychotic supervillains who we are working on constructing a facsimile of.))
Im not after an identical copy, but yes it needs to keep the arms.
for the regen id settle for a fibroblast therapy but would prefer meskish healing.
Reinforced bone and tooth materials would be required so it can bite through exosuits and mkIII suits.
Tongue stinger with painkiller coagulant venom, acid spit wouldnt be turned down.
Something similiar to ivans carapace for armor is also mandatory.
give doc details on custom crawler,
Inform AM armor should survive 3-5 gauss shots in the same place.
Head over to vr and load up duel, pit myself, anton and a generic inmate against the doctors crawler.
ill have my current gear but with the exo-suit repaired. (heavy pulse laser, auxiliary weapons hardpoint on exo-suits right arm.)
Inmate 1 should have a mkIII and a kinetic club
Arena shall be a ruined temple.
You know the doc would be good for that if he was making a real one. He's not exactly a VR programmer. Though You could just program your own in with an aux roll. In fact:
[aux:3+1]
Alright, you got it.
Also that thing is gonna murder you to death if it's created as you talked about. I mean, just the fact that it can fucking regenerate endlessly kinda kills the chance of winning.
"There has to be a better way..."
Search for and find weapons similar to the one I'm trying to design. ((AKA the Chimera)) Then, evaluate if I'm missing any materials. If not, practice assembling it in Tinker ((Dynamic bonus go.)) Also, if I have the tokens, go buy the 10-token decomp.
(DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK TO MAURICE'S THING? I HAVE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH IT IS AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. AHEM.)
Well, you buy that decomp at least.
Buy the largest Mystery Box Prize I can afford with however many tokens I've got left.
You can get a large one, but do you just want it to be random?
Investigate Prices for Cybernetic Replacements. The awesome kind.
If possible schedule time for tinkering on them.
Get specs, too.
The prices for them are listed in the Armory list. You're gonna need to give me a bit more if you want me to offer you things beyond whats on there. I mean, a giant pair of mechanical crab claws would be pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure thats not what you're looking for.
"And... tada! One lightning rifle. Now to hunt down the recipient."
Anton walks around looking for Auron, eventually finding him plugged into a VR machine. He sets the Gungnir down next to him, then also joins VR, intent on seeing what Auron is up to.
Deposit the prototype into Auron's possession, then enter VR. Make the schematics for the Gungnir-S and the conversion manual I made public. Make the schematics for the Red Hand public as well. Then enter Auron's VR session, summon a Gungnir-S and a MkII for myself, and face off against the proto-crawler alongside Auron, replacing the second virtual inmate.
Inmate 1 should have a mkIII and a kinetic club
Inmate 2 should have a tesla rifle and a mkII
Arena shall be ruined temple.
((The one with the tesla rifle, because there's no such thing as a tesla rifle - there's only a tesla arc and the electrolaser.))
Cost:10 “Gungnir-S” Composite Electrolaser Rifle
Status: Schematics available, VR tested, pending field testing
Stat requirement: Dexterity 3 for the bayonet?
Ammo: Laser: N/A (generator)
Tesla Saber/Electrolaser: Tesla Saber Battery (3 token apiece).
Rate of fire: Continuous
Range: Melee:+1 Short:+1 Medium:0 Long:-2 Extreme:N/A
Design: Consists of a standard Laser Rifle modified to feed off a generator, with a standard Tesla Saber attached in a bayonet configuration. The combination allows both continuous laser rifle fire and melee combat with the saber, but in the presence of an atmosphere - any atmosphere - triggering both at once causes electricity from the saber to jump into the plasma trail left by the laser, creating an artificial directed lightning - an electrolaser.
Known specials: Standard configurable intensity and diffusion on the laser, as well as the intensity/length on the saber. Sweeping the electrolaser too quickly will cause the lightning to branch off, potentially not hitting the intended target. Weapon comes with one battery for the Tesla Saber, but can hold up to three batteries in the forward compartment.
Designer: Anton “Blackeye” Chernozorov (Sean Mirrsen)
Cost:5 “Red Hand” Electrolaser Gauntlet
Status: Schematics available, field tested
Stat requirement: none
Ammo: N/A
Rate of fire: Continuous
Range: Melee:0 Short:0 Medium:-2 Long:N/A Extreme:N/A
Design: A Hand Laser modified to a full armored gauntlet, powered by a custom generator and firing along the wrist instead of out of the finger. By using a high-voltage spark gap, is capable of delivering lethal electric shocks in melee, as well as at range when in atmosphere. Activates the laser, the spark gap, or both, with different hand gestures.
Known specials: Electricity and laser output can be dialed down to "non-lethal" Taser levels. There is a safety switch to prevent accidental use of the weapon during casual gesticulation. Sweeping the electrolaser too quickly will cause the lightning to branch off, potentially not hitting the intended target.
Designer: Anton “Blackeye” Chernozorov (Sean Mirrsen)
Name: Anton "Blackeye" Chernozorov
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'2", stout, somewhat overweight man with a mess of short, very dark brown (nearly black) hair and a faceful of stubble that never seems to want to grow any longer. Left side of body and face thoroughly covered in remnants of poorly healed burns.
Personal information: Anton was mostly an average guy quietly working his way through life. He kept to his books and tools, preferring working with machines to working with people. Always alone, always distanced from others. All his spare time was devoted to working on his magnum opus, an experimental high-energy device of uncertain capabilities that, as he thought, would change his life. He turned out to be right. Upon activation, the device discharged a vast quantity of energy into the superstructure of a nearby apartment building, collapsing it, and subsequently exploded, leaving Anton with severe burns and buried in debris. He survived. Three hundred seventy four inhabitants of the destroyed building, among them twenty-six children, did not.

Well, you make those things public but I'm still kind of questioning if you guys really want to fight this thing. Because, how it's described, makes it seem like you're both just gonna die really fast and really hard. Probably not the best for testing weapons.
"What? Waiting? That doesn't sound like something I'm willing to do!"
Chew off bits of my own fingernails, place them into top hole.
You add your fingernails. It buzzes and blinks the same message.
((As a side note: I thought that Doc had created the arbiters when he asked that quiestion.
Arbiter Renen.
@PW: Is Renen asleep now, or still able to talk?))
"Whose brain is that?"
If still awake, ask. If not, wait until I wake up.
((I will stay without internet for 3 days. During this time, Renen will just undergo the alterations.))
"Who indeed." The doctor says, gas hissing out of his mask. "Who indeed." You feel yourself slipping away and then everything is dark.
