((Hey guys, if I ever happen to get suddenly banned from the forums, the most likely thing is that I was using a racial slur common in the hip-hop world that has been deemed "derogatory" on here.))

But TCM, how can they get mad at you? You're black! Just like I'm a hot asian woman.

((The drones and bots should be behind the door a spy-cam would be less likely to get shot, and cheaper if it did, bots are to shoot bad guys))

(( bots would definitely be on our side of the door, no question. The comment of bots was unrelated to the spy cam and more to the 'what are we buying for the team' As for the drones, they aren't that much more expensive, and might (*might*) be slightly more likely to survive the battle. And I'd only put 1 or 2 of them on the enemy side of the door.

Although, when you say 'spy cam', are you thinking of something cheaper than a scout eye? Like, a stationary camera with a transmitter? Cause we don't have a price for that yet, and if it's significantly cheaper than a scout's eye, that would probably be a good thing to stick out there. ))

(( Cam eye is an implant

And yeah, okay. Ask the AM about it, I don't think anyone has asked about something like that. ))

Wear bone armor over exo-suit, idly twirl reiterpallasch, be ready for combat.

[Prosperus]

Grab weapons and prepare for departure

((1 token = 5 sticky spy cams. Check Flint's entry in men.txt))

((I'm currently wondering whether cameyes will make good remote scopes for mounted weapons. Even at five token per pair, they provide some good features. Zoom, thermal and x-ray vision, etc. They can feed an image to your faceplate, and you could pretty much aim two weapons like you "aim" two eyes.))

Spoiler: Piecewise quote (click to show/hide)

"In this exercise you will be infiltrating a compound, covertly placing an explosive and then making your escape before detonating it. Before we begin, tell me: What is the most effective disguise for infiltrating a guarded compound?"

"infiltrating a compound, covertly placing an explosive"

infiltrating  covertly

Milno's brow creases slightly at the description of the training course; if his previous missions are anything to go by, he's almost as stealthy and subtle as an enraged grizzly bear driving a speeding truck through a sea of highly explosive bubblewrap. To be fair, he expected the virtual course to be something more akin to learning how to use explosives without blowing up both him and his teammates, but even then he's still going on with it due to the possibility of needing such skills in the future.

"I'd rather never be found at all and not need a disguise." he answers, crossing his arms and tilting his head, wondering if military compounds were full of cameras, movement sensors and all types of exaggerated security check routines he had once glimpsed in a movie. "But if it comes down to that, cleaning or some kind of basic maintenance person."

Answer.

"Correct. Maintenance personnel are invisible, ignored by others and often granted access to many places, despite their low positions. Plus it is not unusual for them to be seen carrying toolboxes or packages, making it easy for them to smuggle things in."

"In the following exercise will consist of you transporting a remote control explosive device to a sensitive area within a compound. You will not be armed or armored. You will be dressed as a maintenance worker and have the proper papers and cards to work with this disguise. Avoid contact if possible. Your target is a power junction deep in the compound. Junction C-34. You will be provided with a map to the location. Once there, plant the device and make your escape. Any questions?"

((Doesn't it feel kind of sad that Milno gets to do all those cool situations, but we will never, almost certainly never encounter anything close to that? I mean infiltrate something? In HMRC? Don't see that happening any time soon.

And there is always that sadness that our beloved heroes whom we love in a narrative cannot do some random but very interesting and awesome things because of the said narrative. The stars would never align.

I suppose that part of where the superhero matchmaking or moronic movie titles comes from, a desire to put a hero in an otherwise improbable or impossible situation. Too bad that stuff never has the depth the actual narrative has from being able to tie all the strings together. Man, this is a sad life I live, desiring so much and being able to enjoy so little.))

Oh ye of little faith.

((I was rereading the simulation the Armory Master gave Milno looking for clues that could help us in our mission and found this. Hah, piecewise told us about it.

I wonder what the assassination simulation would have been about. Maybe a future mission? Or just the sun-god-king's assassination?))

[Radio Controlled]

((Laser rifle with a -1 to conventional? Might be better to get a monorazor or cutting torch. Or some other unconventional or auxiliary equipment. You don't need to shoot to be useful. You can build barricades or mess with electronics. Or set up ambushes. Or any other imaginative way to put your abilities to good use.))

((Woops, hadn't seen that -1 to con. Yeah, it just might be better not to shoot stuff with that kind of odds.

[Tack]

((Btw, when the mission first begins I want to set my 1/8er to remote and set it up above hangar entrance. What could possibly go wrong, right?))
