[GreatWyrmGold]

((I'd be impressed with any generator that small that managed a decent power output.))

[kisame12794]

((Yeah well, we have devices that make physics cry in a corner, and you are questioning whether or not our suits have generators that can power them indefinitely. This is the glorious spacefuture. Tech has gotten better.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Yes, but which is more suited for this--super-science batteries, or super-science generators?))

[Sean Mirrsen]

"That's reasonable enough, but I don't think anyone has ran out of ammunition in combat.  Besides, which, I want to create a variety of options for combat, rather than just one or two.  A lot of times particular weapons have proven ineffective, and a cannon can use a large variety of ammunition, wheras a laser can only fire one kind of shot.

Anton chuckles and flexes his right arm, hefting the Red Hand compact electrolaser, and then clenches his fist, activating the spark-gap.

"Already working on that one. Besides, I have many ideas for energy weapons as well."

Speaking of energy weapons, did you want your Gungnir prototype back? i have thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to see a standardized model added to the armory.

"Ah, right. Well, you did donate the rifle, and the saber plus conversion was what, six token? And I think you donated... two? Three? Can't be bothered to remember right now. Gimme.. let's say two token and a field performance review, and it's yours to keep. I'll talk to Steve and the Armory Master about making it standard issue once we're out of debriefing."

[Caellath]

((piecewise said even the humble MkI has a generator capable of keeping the suit going on for very, very long. It was also made much more powerful than necessary for a reason I forgot.))

[kisame12794]

((I think it was to be able to power certain equipment in the event of a power failure/power unavailable in this dimension. You can take the headlamps out and use the wires for them to power things. That's also why the power to the headlamps goes past one hundred percent, so you could power things, but going past it with just the lamps overloads them and renders them useless.))

[Caellath]

((Yeah, that's correct. The headlamps' wiring can be used to power other things.))

[Nikitian]

((Thank you all! It was lonely without bay12.
Happy to hear good about Maurice-intern. Thank you for keeping him in good hands, Piecewise.
@GM I am not sure, leaning towards the level-ups. Could you explain a bit what the 'routine' includes? To quote,

When HMRC go to the doctor, it's usually because they're missing an entire limb or because they have a rail road tie lodged in their skull.

So, civilian-grade routine, military-grade routine or HMRC-grade routine?
Also, just checking, in the end, did Maurice make any tokens on the side? Remember reading about one unsuccessful attempt.
About the internship - is it officially over (as in the Doctor deciding it finished), or is Maurice yet to somehow ask him about that? Or is it going to continue 'in the background'/between missions sort of Renen's apprenticeship?))

((Assuming I am free from my duties at the moment,))
Grab a soda can from my cooler and open it. Take my datapad and wander off to the wrec room, looking for a 'Corpsman fresh from the mission to chat with.
I still cannot think of us in any other way than the 'Corps. Old habits die hard, don't they?
Swiftly, heh.

[Radio Controlled]

((About the drones: ever considered slapping some high explosives in there and call it a day? Most drones don't survive an encounter with a half-decent enemy anyway, and in a pinch they could double as impromptu grenades or mines. Just, y'know, make sure they don't go off upon impact before being armed, what with their tendency to go kamikaze on walls and other solid objects.))

"That's more or less what I was thinking, Hawking.  Or perhaps cutting out the rocket engines and making a tracked drone or a hovercraft, with a cannon of some kind.  More of a squad-support weapon, rather than an individual weapon.  You could even have it seperated into pieces and assembled where it's needed.

As for a cannon, I was thinking that some kind of explosive shell with a shaped warhead, or perhaps an explosively-formed projectile, would be ideal, as if it can form a jet of high-temperature plasma upon contact with the target, or if it is stopped by a kinetic sink or amp-barrier, it would then produce a lot more stress on the user.  And there's other options as well.

So, overall, I think a drone with perhaps a sixty-millimeter cannon would be very useful.  It could work as a direct-fire weapon, a crew-served weapon, a remote-fired mortar for long-range fire support, etcetera.

((So basically a tricked-out gunner bot? Just sayjin', in these cases it's often more cost-efficient to take something that already exists in the armory and build from that. With the added benefit of knowing that stuff in the armory is proven to work good; otherwise it wouldn't be in there. So unless you can get it for free as a prototype (in which case it has to fill a unique niche) looking at what exists already might be a good starting point, if you don't have tokens to burn on custom-made gear. Also remember that there are several things that are standard equipment that aren't listed in the OP, such as battlesuit variants. So you might want to check with the AM (or doc in special cases) if something that suits your needs already exists.

Not to take away your tinkering fun, of course!


... This reminds me, we should check what kind of artillery and air support is available, or what kinds we could build anyways. Or maybe we could design remote-controlled drones based on the research data from mission 7. We have a planet and a year's time to prepare after all, so we'll have to start thinking bigger than we're used to, if we're to defend a planet. Though I'm sure PW will let us know when such things are needed.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Wait what?!?))

[Radio Controlled]

((Wait what?!?))

((Yes, sometimes you can get something VR-designed for free if it's a viable idea. You get 1 prototype for free and a chance to prove it works, if it does it gets added to the armory. There are other restrictions, do some digging in the thread for more info.))

[piecewise]

((That works. And voted!
Normal level ups then? If so, +5 Willpower, +3 Exo))

Also +3 Token (2 Steve, 1 Miyamoto)

Trundle over to where my old body was and retrieve my MK II.

Updated. You have your MKII still.

"Why am I mysterious?"

"Because I'm not really sure what happened to you, good fellow! There were reports that you died, mine included, but that seems to have not happened. Also, you may or may not be a ghost of some description. You should ask someone who stayed when you emerged from under the block - I was too busy avoiding the area at the time."

"Oh. I see."

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?

((It's not perfect, but as long as it's standardized I don't mind overmuch. I suppose that we can hammer out issues in the future.))

+3 Tokens (2 Steve, 1 Miyamoto)
+2 Dexterity, +2 Endurance, +1 Willpower, +1 Conventional Weapons, +2 [Quantum Stuff/Intuition]*
*Ideal world, I'd like it if Grate could get some kind of ability to reflect his unusual survival. If you think that "being alive" is enough of an ability, I'll take a +1 to Intuition to reflect the insight.

((Also, I noticed that the semiOP lists Grate on the Wall of Remembrance, without any note of his resurrection. And that the character descriptions for some people are out-of-date or missing. For instance, why are Miyamoto and Lyra absent, and shouldn't the current statuses of Feyri and Jim be noted?
In other news, inbound action post to attempt.))

Well, that player description does need update badly. But that death list doesn't. Take that as you will.

+5 will
+3 exotic
1 token (miyamoto), +2token(steve) = 3 total
Current activity: Sitting on Jim
reposting for convience:

Spoiler: CURRENT TOKEN TOTAL, aka our budget (click to show/hide)

Jimiya Team: 30 tokens
15 Jim  perfect exo decomp
2   Flint nades and cameras
3   Flint battle suit shield

thus: 30 - 15 - 2 - 3 = 10

Defense team: 30 tokens
12 skylar drones
2 morul   ammo
2 morul  longcoat
7 morul  sibilus gaus rifle

30 - 12 - 11 = 7

Sabotage team: no tokens, special equipment though.
various tools, including microwelder
silenced gauss pistols
disguised bomb
medical supplies

So, that brings us to a current total of: 10 + 7 + 1 (from Michael) = 18 tokens.


perfect exo decomp SC has told us in private chat he'd rather keep his decomp, and in turn not be paid this mission. Any questions or comments regarding this can be aimed at him
nades and cameras from Flint     1 token for everything. Probably better to just keep these and label the whole package (cameras + smoke bombs) as worth 1 token
drone pallet, 3 drones destroyed  6 tokens
longcoat                                 1 token
sibilus gaus rifle                        3 token might be 7 or 6, since only 1 shot was fired. That counts as used though, but not damaged, so unsure of how much we'll get. I used 3 for calculating total
Battlesuit shield                        3 token

various tools
microwelder
silenced gauss pistols         We'll just divide these among the people of Milno's team, since this'll be easiest. Rest of it will just be divided among who wants it, otherwise this'll become too complicated.
disguised bomb              I'll just roll some dice if there are several people who want any of these
medical supplies

magnetic manip                         4 token
micro manip                              1 token
light bending cloak                     2 token?    cannot find the post where he bought it, so this is a guesstimate
broken changeling cloak              2 token?    gonna assume same as above cloak until proven otherwise. Yes I know it's broken, but it's also more high-tech, so I guess it evens out
gauss rifle ammo                       1 token

So, that comes down to 18 + all of above = 42 tokens

Update

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.

...Are you sure you want to do that?

((you replace the entire manipulator))

You can replace those batteries?

Though this mission was brief, Lars felt he had learned a lot.  His experience with his new suit plus seeing what could be done with Gilgamesh up close had given him more insight into mechanical understanding.  Watching the miracles done by Jim was truly enlightening.  Getting ready for his position as a Prophet of Steve would really test his ability to spread the Word...

Spoiler: Neural Connector Psychokinetic Amplifier (click to show/hide)

10   Neural Connector Psychokinetic Amplifier
   Ammo:NA
   Range: +1 short 0 medium -1 long
   Stat Requirement: 12 Willpower 8 Charisma
   Description: This is basically a field manipulator tuned specifically to interact with the neural tissue of most known xenobiological archetypes. This lets the user manipulate the neurochemistry of enemies, implanting suggestions,memories, emotions and other such neurological phenomena. It also allows the user to tap into and experience the memories and emotions of said enemies. Useful for subtly convincing your enemies to shoot each other or learning the lay out of an area using the memories of its protectors. Something to keep in mind: In order for this Amp to allow the user to access the memories and emotions of a target, it temporarily converts sections of the user's brain into replicas of the target's. This process is usually safe, but the weak willed my experience a feedback effect and have their original neurochemistry overridden.

((PPE:  Note there are two versions of this amp.  This is the lower one:  below is the stronger one.))

Spoiler: Organochemistry Overrider Psychokinetic Amplifier (click to show/hide)

15   Organochemistry Overrider Psychokinetic Amplifier
   Ammo:NA
   Range: NA
   Stat requirement: 15 Willpower 12 Charisma
   Description: An upgraded version of the Neural Connector that allows the user to freely manipulate the body chemistry of the target. A boring man would simply stop the target's heart or melt their brain, while a clnver man could hijack an alien's body and pilot it around or even completely rewrite their brains and turn them into passive drones. Feedback with this Amp tends to have rather messy results.

watch the speaker, and tilt my head slightly to my left when he comments on the doc, my ears upright, my tail wavering about below me.

Aww.  Pet the kitty.

"James Kelly. This is Lyra. Good to meet you, Leo." Jim extended one of the hands not supporting Lyra toward Leo. "Things seem to have turned out quite good in regards to the mission, though given the atmosphere of the briefing room you wouldn't know it."

"I wouldn't worry about it, bitching about the pay is truly universal."

"That said, though, I wouldn't mind an upgrade.  There any people good at making things and finding what you need around here?  I've got some ideas, and the AM is a bit... intimidating."

Two tokens.  One from Steve, one from Mya.

((Hey PW, what should I do about my character, is he dead, or will he be recovered?  If he is recovered do I get a level up or not?))

You're an interesting case, mr. Alarith. You will have the chance of being recovered. And you will have the chance to level up. In fact, you'll be the focus of a mini-mission thats coming up. So sit tight for a little bit sir. You'll have fun soon.

"Yeah, I could really use the food in my mouth right now. Want to come whip something up with me in the kitchen?"

Thomas tugs on May again, bringing her towards the ktichen at a brisk pace.
"Okay, anything you want in particular?"

"Let's make something we can share with everyone so they'll stop being mad. How about falafel?"

"Okay, but you'll have to show me how to make it. What is it, some kind of fruit platter or something?"

"It's fried chickpea balls actually. It's good! I just have to get the ingredients." 

Go to Armory Master. Retrieve the following:

3 scallions, coarsely chopped

It was consensual that you be a cat-human hybrid, right? Because otherwise that's fairly creepy, and I wouldn't put it past the Doctor. If it was though, it's cute, a little unusual, but cute nonetheless.

Simus turns towards Leo, her arsenal slightly clinking as she does.

Leo, was it? I'm Simus. Making things is something of my forte. What do you want?

Seeing that Amp specialist at work taught Miyamoto a thing or two about the more exotic aspects of fighting. His new status as general in Steve's little rebellion made him more self-confident, while jumping around and pureeing sods made him more dexterious for sure.

((Also, hi Nik! Good to have you back. We can always use more (non-kickboxing you to death) doctors. ))

((I'm personally against the 'full military' option, since I can't really see how to implement it at this point without having to shuffle 'round gear. Though being an 'official' general instead of a de-facto one would be cool. About pay: I'd say Steve gives out a standard pay (based on mission difficulty, lenght and overall performace) and that bonuses to this are awarded from the team fund. So kinda the reverse of what we did here.))

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?

((Well, this does mean Miya and other vets might be scoring the most stuff on combat missions, but if this settles this dispute I'm ok with it. And one can still donate stuff to the team fund if he wants to anyway.))

And a whopping ONE TOKEN from Steve.

((Sorry man, not enough tokens to go around. I'd have given him something, if only because he joined Miyamoto in lasering the frack out of that floor (TAKE THAT GROUND) but hey, you just started and got a free tokens and a free level-up. So you're still better of than most new recruits.))

But for now I believe it's Zero.

((Same here. I'd share with you two if I weren't saving up for that decomp. Tell you and other newbs-sans-pay what though: once I have said decomp you can both request Miya something to build for you, free of charge, with the universal manip. Sounds good?))

Name: Jhoseph Wilkes
Age:34
Gender:Male
Appearance:
middlingly tall with short cropped brown hair and a large jagged scar
across the left half of his face after a cutting torch accident fortunately
his eyesight was unnaffected although he incidentally ended up having some
difficulty speaking and eating spicy food afterwards.

Personal information:
Grew up in the sol system and joined the UWM R&D division as a builder & "Mr.fixit" after the incident with
the cutting torch he retired to basic techsupport on a small military installation.


Reason assigned to HMRC:
A drunken bar bet with his mate Tom & the rest of the
tech support staff; if he survived the HMRC, each of them would pay him $10 000,
considering there were 253 people in on it, the draw for drunken jhoseph
was too strong.

((Thank you all! It was lonely without bay12.
Happy to hear good about Maurice-intern. Thank you for keeping him in good hands, Piecewise.
@GM I am not sure, leaning towards the level-ups. Could you explain a bit what the 'routine' includes? To quote,

When HMRC go to the doctor, it's usually because they're missing an entire limb or because they have a rail road tie lodged in their skull.

So, civilian-grade routine, military-grade routine or HMRC-grade routine?
Also, just checking, in the end, did Maurice make any tokens on the side? Remember reading about one unsuccessful attempt.
About the internship - is it officially over (as in the Doctor deciding it finished), or is Maurice yet to somehow ask him about that? Or is it going to continue 'in the background'/between missions sort of Renen's apprenticeship?))

((Assuming I am free from my duties at the moment,))
Grab a soda can from my cooler and open it. Take my datapad and wander off to the wrec room, looking for a 'Corpsman fresh from the mission to chat with.
I still cannot think of us in any other way than the 'Corps. Old habits die hard, don't they?
Swiftly, heh.

Routine basically means anything that doesn't involve alien infestation or exotic stuff.






Fuck there are a lot of you guys. We're over the maximum post length.
