((The combat teams are in the larger mission thread. Links should be on the first page.))

[Kriellya]

Armor plating... wonder if Steve has some or if we'll have to lug some across the facility.

Head back to the blackship, take a closer look at that rear right engine. Takes notes on the damage on the datapad.

Head back to Steve if he makes the call to start aiding the Sword repair teams.

((Why is HAWKING barred? I'm sure he can convince you to let him stay with his son once the time comes )

((Reasons of insanity. His argument would only make it worse.))

((HAWKING isn't insane. VERY ODD yes, but insane no. He is perfectly capable of sound decision making, and also perfectly capable of presenting his case logically (well y'know, as long as the dice say so ). The perceived insanity is him confusing his current self with his potential future memetic god self.

This is due to some heretofore unknown brain disorder or somesuch caused by however the hell he got to the future. Probably some quantum mechanical nonsense. 

So yeah, HAWKING isn't insane, he's handicapped. And you wouldn't discriminate against someone because of a handicap would you?
_{granted said handicap involves being able to resurrect small children repeatedly and quasi-magically avoid danger by somehow forcing said danger around himself, but I digress}

Also the gore-angel was a leftover effect from the crazyknife. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ))

((If the "discrimination" is keeping the blind man from driving a taxi, yes.))

((The perceived insanity is him confusing his current self with his potential future memetic god self.))

((And as far as Simus is concerned, that is insanity. It's practically schizophrenia.))

((What exactly is the taxi in this metaphor? Inventing things? Honestly that seems safer for a perceived "insane" person then going out into combat heavily armed and with people relying on them to survive ))

((The perceived insanity is him confusing his current self with his potential future memetic god self.))

((And as far as Simus is concerned, that is insanity. It's practically schizophrenia.))

((I would equate it more with alzheimers. Though I see your point. But he hasn't really hurt anyone so far, which is more then ANY OTHER PERSON ON SHIP can say for themselves
Even the 11 year old. ESPECIALLY the 11 year old.))

((Unless you consider that STEPHEN HAWKING's presence allowed the 11 year old to do all that damage in the first place. So indirectly... ))

((Well STEPHEN HAWKING is the only one who knows that he resurrected Grate. IC at least ))

[Pancaek]

((Do you only include other player's character in this statement, or do enemies count as well? Because, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure we have quite a few people who haven't hurt a teammate yet))

[Tavik Toth]

((Jack for example. As Ivan was technically no longer a teammate.))

((For Stephen, maybe.))

((But he hasn't really hurt anyone so far, which is more then ANY OTHER PERSON ON SHIP can say for themselves ))

((Amazingly, I can't think of a counter-example. Well, an explosives-laden clock can fail to explode twice a day.))

[Sean Mirrsen]

((Anton never really hurt anyone either. He only shot a teammate once in VR, and once himself as his own teammate, also in VR. Even the latest episode never actually hurt anyone around him. Besides that he only created some trouble for other people when they had to rescue him out of Gilgamesh, but mostly he ends up only hurting himself. ))

[PyroDesu]

((I don't think Simus has actually hurt a teammate yet.

Opponents, though, is another matter.))

[TCM]

((May has only saved people, thank you very much. And sure, you can argue in OOC, but if Stephen Hawking has wanted to portray himself as a responsible and capable person ready to head out with the big kids, he's been doing a pretty damn bad job.))

[Gamerlord]

No. What is going on?
