[Unholy_Pariah]

As per Unholy and the loot debacle, I understand his
annoyance, but I also understand the other arguments. So
hows about this compromise:

If you directly kill someone or something, their Loot is yours,
period. If you just find stuff sitting around, then it goes in the
community pile BUT people who actually found stuff get first
pick of the pile, since it's their work they're sharing.

Fair?

Not really, characters like jim and miyamoto have a major advantage when it comes to killing stuff and its not really fair to be able to claim something as your own thirty turns after abandoning it.
That said it could probably work out with a few tweaks.

I have a much simpler compromise, if radio matches the two token donation he volunteered me for and gives it to a zero token newbie ill simply shut up and move on.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Grate had started to take cover from the impending, probably-space-magic-including fight. He considers his options.

He has a gauss rifle; this could do for now.
He has a manipulator and a little idea how to use it. The battery life is...problematic, though.
He has 6 tokens.

Grate decides to save his tokens for now, since he doesn't know what to do with them. He briefly considers trying to make a token pill, but decides that that's silly.
What could he do with the manipulator? He was a bit...uneasy about using it, all things considered. Bad juju. On the other hand, he wanted to do something with it...
Token pill. Manipulator. Manipulator pill?

Head to the locker and open it, removing the pill machine. Remove the battery for the manipulator and see if either the battery or the rest of the manipulator will fit. If either does so, put them through the machine.
(Assuming at least one works:)
Grate stares at the pill. He had no idea what would happen. It could be great...or horrible.
Was this really such a good idea? This wasn't just using bad juju; this was eating it. Maybe he should test it...but manipulators are expensive. Well, only a few tokens, but that's half of Grate's pocket change. And he doesn't even know if the tests will be helpful.
Maybe he should just throw away or sell the pills.

"Um...okay..." Grate wipes his eyes and wanders about.

Wander about, confused and sad. (And slightly useless at the moment.)

You walk in a little circle of depression.

Grate, back at the ship, kicks a wall.
"Ow. That was dumb...almost as dumb as going out with Miss Feyri. What can I do? Glare them to death?"
He formalizes his wandering into a path for the dormitory.
"I'm useless. I can't do anything, unless maybe something gets broken and I need to fix it. And when something breaks...everything always breaks.

What am I good at? What makes me not dead weight?
Well, I guess I could be a bullet sponge, but I'm not big or threatening enough for anyone to intentionally shoot at me when other people are around, so that's even stupider than it sounded a minute ago.
I guess I could use some kind of techy stuff...
"I could get what, a Scout Eye? Medicine? Maybe some better armor? There's tons of eyes already, and they're not that useful really. Medicine? I'm no medic. It's better than nothing, but I can't do anything. Especially when people get stabbed in the back with chunks of frozen air or exploded by their own magic sand or blown apart with layshow rifles or something. I guess I could take heads back, maybe get a monorazor, but Head Recovery Guy isn't very useful."

"...Who am I kidding, I'll take what I can get."

Wish I wasn't so useless.

Also say hi to Grate when I pass him (WE'RE USELESS BUDDIES )

"...Who am I kidding, I'll take what I can get."
Pray to every god I have ever heard of. Isallam, Zeus, Thor, Quantum...even Steve. Can't hurt, right?
Pause, nervously.
Eat any pills the machine makes, before I have second thoughts.

(If neither fits)
Grate stares at the two oversized objects and puts the battery back in the manipulator. Time to think of something else.

[Lenglon]

((manipulator batteries are not removable))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Then how do you replace them?))

[Lenglon]

((you replace the entire manipulator))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(I think you just buy a new one. Ninja'd. Also, you should get some of your blood and a bit of synthflesh, then take that pill and see if you can get yourself a synthflesh body. >.>)

[Sean Mirrsen]

((I can't even begin to imagine what kind of hilarity can result from pill-arizing a kinetic amp..

Also, you don't quite buy a new one, you just get the old one replaced via unspecified means, which costs 3 token regardless of manipulator cost.))

[Zako]

+5 to Dex. +3 to Con. 6 tokens (2 Miya, 4 Steve).

Go see the doctor about my stupid mutation and get it fixed back to normal. NO EXPERIMENTING!

((Please make a note of my rocket rifle! I plan to trade it in soon!))

[Tavik Toth]

+1 Charisma, +2 Strength, +2 Dexterity.
+1 handiwork, +1 speech, +1 intuition. 1 token (miyamoto).

Go to VR and check all options.

[GreatWyrmGold]

((you replace the entire manipulator))

(I think you just buy a new one. Ninja'd.

Spoiler: The evidence is NOT in your favor... (click to show/hide)

   
3   Microwave Field Manipulator
   Ammo: Battery good for 20 uses. Extra batteries are 3 token each.

8   Magnetic Field Manipulator
   Ammo: Battery good for 20 uses. Extra batteries are 3 token each.

14   Vector Field Manipulator
   Ammo: Battery good for 20 uses. Extra batteries are 3 token each.

20   Universal Field Manipulator
   Ammo: Battery good for 20 uses. Extra Batteries are 3 token each.

((EVERY manipulator mentions extra batteries. Which have a somewhat better use:battery ratio than I remembered, but still.))

Also, you should get some of your blood and a bit of synthflesh, then take that pill and see if you can get yourself a synthflesh body. >.>)

((I'd prefer to A. test that first and B. have something...unique.))

((I can't even begin to imagine what kind of hilarity can result from pill-arizing a kinetic amp.

((I considered doing that, but I decided that the manipulator that killed me would be more...interesting.))

Also, you don't quite buy a new one, you just get the old one replaced via unspecified means, which costs 3 token regardless of manipulator cost.))

((Worth a shot.))

[Toaster]

(( Hey Toaster, you said you were looking to turn in a MK III? ))

((That's right- I'd like to get Lars a battlesuit.  I'm curious what the trade in value on this one will be first, though, since it's very lightly used.  If it's less than full, I'll let you have first refusal.))

@GM Requesting status check. Any notable events that happened with Maurice during his internship? Oh, and what part did he play in the recent events? Just hoping here he was at least somewhat useful (say, by working in the infirmary) and didn't hide in the corner doing absolutely nothing.))

((Welcome back!  Maurice settled in well to his role of doctor's apprentice, and has been seen many times getting people back to health.

Basically, Steve has been plotting a rebellion against the UWM for hundreds of years, and he has finally executed the first step of the plan.  We (and the rest of the HMRC) are his army.))

Manipulator batteries

((As for the manip batteries, they're black box batteries just like the manips themselves are black boxes.  Since the battery for the manip costs just as much as the manip itself, why not feed in the whole damn thing?))

[Harry Baldman]

+5 Strength, +3 Conventional Weapons - having a robot body has really helped Stacy overcome the weakness and unsteadiness that the flesh is known for! Of course, he still needs to learn how to aim, but that may change soon!

Stacy currently has 5 tokens, two of which are from the mission!

Run for the armory and see if I can trade in the kinetic hammer for the original price of 4 tokens, considering it has gone completely unused in all the time I've had it. If yes, purchase the High Energy Projector!

[kisame12794]

Level up!
+5 willpower, +3 Exotic. Token from mission, 4 bonus, 2 payment, total of 6. Head to the armory and grab a mass amp.

((Look out teammates. Morul's getting an amp. Hrmm. I think I've got seven token, so I could get the mass amp, or the microwave. Choices choices. Edit: Mass amp it is! And oh man, Maurice is back. You've been doing good man. You were vaguely like Jurgen, a buffer against the hordes of potential experimental subjects, so the Doctor had more time to violate the genetics ban.))
