STEPHEN HAWKING goes and gets his "angel" before heading on over to visit the dok.

"Oh Dooooooooktor, I got you a preeeeeeesent!"

Look around for the spare Grate while waiting for response.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Hmph. Nothing able to be done. Only people in the place are rubberneckers and those running and hiding, and the AM.

Ah! So I do have unnaturally steady limbs. Does that help with aiming in any way?

Regardless of that, keep on moving away from pretty much everyone.


"Hey, Steve! Since we're not prisoners anymore, can we access the other crew sections, please?"

If yes, dance away to safer locales! If not, dance and cower in mortal fear! The end times are nigh! Ours is deserved damnation!

Anton whips around in the doorway and looks at Steve's avatar, doing his best to manage a death glare through the opaque faceplate of his suit. He takes out his Microwave Manipulator, holding it like one would a grenade.

"If these are such dangers, that it takes ignorance to protect us from their nature.." He throws the manipulator at his feet with force. "..then why do you even allow them to be used?!" With that, Anton crushes the device under the heel of his prosthetic foot, and stomps off to the Rec Room, plugging into VR.

((If Steve doesn't electrocute you to death before you can do that, you and anybody near you is so dead. Unless they really do build them to last.

Let's hope there's a Strength roll and you have penalties to it.))

((Androsynth are not here. Orz are here.
You are not the same too much like Androsynth. You are *happy campers*.
Do you want to see our surprising toys*? No!! Do Not!!
Androsynth are so silly. We do not *tell stories* a lot about them.
No more Androsynth stories.))

Simus turns angrily to Lars.

Lars, you should stop heading in that direction right now, because that path leads to zealotry. And while I tolerate a lot from you, unbridled zealotry will not be something I tolerate, do you understand? Worship Steve and your little pantheon all you like, but not those things. They are not holy relics, but weapons, usually capable of mass destruction.

Even nuclear arms are cleaner.


Simus leaves the briefing room and heads for the rec room, to VR, Tinker program. On her way, she talks aloud to Steve.

I have to say, I'm siding more with Anton on this. I don't like the manipulators or amps. Yes, they're useful, but they're simply too chaotic, and are just plain unnatural. The latter I can deal with, the former not. Is there any way we can change that? An autoabort feature, or something, to stop it activating if what it will do is wildly off from the intended effect? It wouldn't stop something like this, but to be honest, this probably could have been avoided with a sharp shock to the boy before he did this.

Once in Tinker, she sends a short message:

Quote from: Simus>Anton
You are not alone in your opinion of what has just transgressed.

And spawns a fresh, empty shell for her grenade launcher, fill it halfway with 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile pellets, a volatile solvent container (with the detonator linked to rupture the container upon activation), seal that half from the rest of it, and fill the remainder with black smoke composition, also rigged to the detonator. Punch 8 holes in each half of the grenade case, to allow the gases, once produced, to vent, but the constituents be unable to escape the case. Detonation parameters are on command or impact outside of a 5 meter radius from the launcher (as with all other grenades except ClF3)

((That would be a psychokinetic amplifier. Manipulators are pocket calculators with magical batteries.

As much as tearing an implant out of your own brain and crushing it underfoot to make a point would be a much more impressive gesture, I don't think Anton is quite that angry yet. :P))

You head out to the edge of the hanger and see the armory master walking toward the glowing point of anomalous physics that is grate. You decide to let her take point.
((Aaw, no action again. Oh well, it seems Miya's prediction about Grate 'going supernova' wasn't that far from the truth.))

"Hey, if you need any help whatsoever, just tell me what to do!" He yelled to the AM over the noise of everything going on.

Use manip to create large dense barrier using material from the ground (and surroundings if needed), if the hangar floor gets damaged that's no problem. Make sure the shield is very sturdy and firmly attached to the floor so teammates can safely hide behind it.

After that, if AM asks for any sort of assistance, do what she asks, whether it be helping out with my manip or shooting the Gratemonster with the laser or something else.

If she doesn't ask for help, grab all non-armored teammates standing near (like Pancaek) and pull them behind the wall I created, shielding them and myself from whatever will happen next with my body and cloak, aka protective bear hug time.
If I failed to create that barrier, still do protectohug but while moving as far away as possible.

Well, I'm out of options.
Go to the VR, select tinker. Load a medieval scale armour, and put a kinetic amp on each scale. Test the armour against various weapons:
Fist, hammer, sword, kinetic amp, mono razor, gauss rifle, and laser rifle.
Also check the price.
