Any further information on the mission, Steve? Additional data on hazards or hostiles, secondary objectives, et cetera?
Briskly walk to to the armoury to ask the Armory Master a few questions before she leaves.
Hello, ma'am. Busier days have come, haven't they? Glad to see your loveliness untarnished a tiniest bit. May I have a minute of your time, please?
What would you recommend for non-lethally dealing with ones mutated by an organo-amp overload? Of sedatives, stun grenades and shock weapons, which ones are most likely to remain effective despite the bodily changes? Or maybe I am missing something of the most common and easily available solutions?
Also, do you happen to have any books by Dr. VonNost? Publicly available libraries seem to lack his works. Censure, I guess,
((@GM Is the 'Idiots in space' inventory correct? Because Maurice's stats there are outdated, and 'Men' has no inventory for Maurice. Also, do I still have that cooler from the AM?
Would your rather I tinkered a bit after the mini-mission, or is it fine for the moment?))

EDIT: Send a message to the Doctor:

Can the boy be helped?
Can you save him?

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I don't want to kill a child, especially one on our team, Steve. If he actually does become a threat to us then I'll think about it, but right now he hasn't harmed anyone."

(Also, asking me to PvP? Yeah, sure. >.>)

[Xantalos]

((Well, looks like we get to see the AM amp battle. Good thing I'm making that organo-scout eye.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

>How about we do this when grate isn't shitting all over the laws of physics.

((In the immortal words of Elan: "Fight, fight, fight, fight the urge to say I told you so!"))
Find somewhere farther away from people. Keep under control!

((How dare you stand in the way of progress... you are dead to me.))

ask AM if i can borrow a manipulator capable of killing that little progress impeding midget.
Join the "Grate must die" posse.

((Um, yeah. The Armory Master doesn't have anything better to do right now, does she?))

((Relatedly...))

>How about we do this when grate isn't shitting all over the laws of physics.

Find somewhere farther away from people. Keep under control!

((How dare you stand in the way of progress... you are dead to me.))

((Progress is fine, but if I correctly predict the effects of your timing you can hardly blame that on me.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

((I can still blame you for eating that pill against all advice and common sense thus preventing me from getting my hardpoints standardized.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((He didn't tell me not to! ...And yeah, sorry about that. At least it shouldn't be more than a few turns before Grate is either dealt with or has fled far enough away that Steve can work on other stuff.))

[Xantalos]

((No, no matter how far away you run they're gonna have to kill you for the PR.))

[Kriellya]

Is he clear of the hanger? Awesome.

Head to the hanger! Examine the destruction and, most importantly, see if the Blackship took any damage.

[NAV]

Go, grab the prepared scalp, then try to calm Grate down with the power of music. (Charisma roll activate!)

[GreatWyrmGold]

((No, no matter how far away you run they're gonna have to kill you for the PR.))

((Regardless, Steve should have the ability to help with Auron in a few turns.
Besides, if it comes out that it was a kid...And I'm sure we can spin it as some kind of UWM-caused thingy anyways. Not the first amp-overload-thing to come up. Say it was a final act of spite.))

[Sean Mirrsen]

>No, seriously, Jim. You wanna go kill your kid for me? Because honestly, granting him death before he becomes something beyond our control is about all we can do right now.

Though not directed at him, the sentence still makes Anton turn his head.

"Kill him? We spent near a damn year in the company of things no more messed up than he is, far as I can see - courtesy of you, I might add. Steve. Don't tell me this planet is so small that you can't allocate a space for a single being like him." He starts gesticulating and pacing as his speech gradually becomes louder. "When he came to fight that damn wheelchaired space wizard, I gave him a rifle! I could have sent him away, I could have prevented him from being killed in the first place, but I did not! I am not going to condemn a child to death, for becoming... an abomination, against physics - just because he tried to become useful! Not any more than..." Anton looks around, trying and failing to find Xan in the room. He passes his gaze over the various people in the room instead, the assembly of robots, synthflesh constructs, and modified humans, settling on Lyra. "...not any more than I would condemn any of us, for trying the same."

He turns to walk out of the room, but pauses in the doorway.

"If anyone else feels or thinks that way... feel free to start coming up with ideas to save him. I'll go see what I can see."

Head to the gangway, keep the drone flying after Grate. Try to keep him in view of the drone, but remain at a safe distance.

Message AM.

You must have been already notified of the issue with one of our rank. The effects seem related to a manipulator malfunction, therefore must be grounded in the same principles. You have been around here probably longest of every other Sword crewmember, and you have the best knowledge of the manipulators, as far as I was able to gather. Over the years, the UWM must have come afoul of powerful users of this technology, and must have found ways to counter. Not dampen the effect, but suppress the operating principle of the manipulator itself.

We could very much use one right now.

((Aw, thanks! I think the ER trope page could use a CMoH entry right about now.))

P.S. If any of the more experienced veterans want to add something, go ahead.
