((Since PW is gonna be gone for a bit, this is a bit out of character for Steve.  But RP.))

"Gah, hey!  Wait up!"

Hurry after the guy who was spat out just before me.

Steve tries to catch Marcius' attention, then looks directly into his eyes and speaks.

"I have no idea who you are, or where I am, but far as I can see we're in the same boat.  And this... environment seems dangerous, so we should stick together.  For safety.  Do you agree?"

((I think the ship's pretty much deserted in our area?  The only person we would have passed would be Nyars.  Next to the kiosk with blood and brains painted around inside.))

[Empiricist]

Charles thanks Mesk via speech roll.

"I remember the H-class suits the propensity of them to break down at the worst possible time has been fixed right?"
get in begin boot, check control surfaces and whatnot do not trap limbs in gaps

[kisame12794]

((@Piecewise: Thanks for the appearance info! That's going straight to my ER appearance info Google document! Can you do other NPCs? Nyars maybe? I've got absolutely nothing about him.))

((I think he wears a Gasmask and a scientists labcoat.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((How about a secret santa?))

((Secret Santas aren't so great...))

(("A little box from Nyars for everyone" can easily turn into a "Horrible Death Day". Just sayin'.))

((Not if we limit it to sanity. Or if Steve makes sure to give us all things like sentient pet rocks or laser-like things instead of death rays and Altered dandruff.))

A free spin on the old Roulette Of Death wheel for everyone!  And death is replaced with Steve slapping you in the bum repeatedly, in the spirit of Christmas!

((The what?))

((There's a few more skills than there are Nyars-colors, but it's a guideline, along with armory categories. I think we're pretty clear with red being weaponry, blue being medical, and gold being weird alien stuff. Purple and green are a bit more debatable. It's the shapes and stripes that are least understood.))

((I'm pretty sure the shapes represented the screwery. Triangles were fairly tame, nonagons would be insane.))

Surroundings is a big dark room that's apparently been shot full of holes.

*whistles innocently*

I'll do the bits of info thing as well as this. When we get done with our current missions (Probably pretty fast?) Nyars will have a sack. In his sack will be presents, numbered 1 to 100 or so. The contents of these presents will be random, anything from a single token to a grand prize hidden in one of them. And everyone will get to chose 1 of them.

Whoo! I want #7!

The armory master's height is 5'6
She wears green coveralls, as do everyone who works with weaponry on HMRC ships.
When she was brought to the HMRC, she didn't come here alone.
Weight wise, she's much lighter then she would appear. Lighter even then Grate.

Is this Grate pre- or post-Grate 3²?*

((Nyars maybe? I've got absolutely nothing about him.))

((He looks Nyarsey.))

(("power loader" Aliens references much? ))

((Because power loaders can never exist outside of Aliens?))

*What I'm calling the whole amp-pill incident. It was the third Grate, and he kinda got exponentially more powerful. Also, it ties it to China-9 and Ice-9.


Fix the vent things with my small flexibility!

Right, armor duty for me then. Could you have someone show me to the control unit for the repair arm? I'd like to get familiar with it while I wait for the other volunteers.

Confirm volunteering for armor arm control duty, head off with indicated orange jumpsuit.

(( I think you missed me, not that you would have had anything for me to do, other than a description of whatever sort of device we're going to be using for this

Also, that's a much better idea than just 'give everyone a Nyras box'. Sounds like a plan! ))

(("power loader" Aliens references much? ))

((Because power loaders can never exist outside of Aliens?))

(That was almost a direct quote.  I'm pretty sure it was an Aliens reference.)

"Think nothing of it, citizen!"
Return Charles and go back for the other guy(s).

(( I'm going to assume I made it to Jim's team, so I'm going to post over there now ))

Make sure piecewise notices Kriellya's reposted action.

((The what?))

((The bum.  Your butt, ass, rear end, tushie.  The thing you sit on.

Also, requesting Doc lore.  What is his favorite color?  Does he have a secret love affair with Parathun from Perplexicon?))


Brother Lars peers down into the shaft.  "Brother Stacy!  Are you well?  Well done, Brother Mesk."

etc.

((It was an anniversary suggestion.))

((Well... I need to increase my reading and catch up, holy shit:P))

"Damn, seems I won't be using weapons any time soon. What in hades is this place, anyways?"

The HMRC pantheon is based off things in the real world of ER. Each god, each symbol has some origin if you're really willing to dig for it. For example
Medic Pantheon Symbols: All the symbols of the medic pantheon are actually probably descended from a system of triage used in the Red Moon Rebellion. Because of the massive influx of patients to field hospitals there were often a few doctors who would scour the bodies waiting outside the hospital tents, quickly diagnosing patients and drawing a symbol or symbols on them so that when they were finally brought in to get treatment it could be done immediately and by even the relatively unskilled. Many of the symbols used in this system are very similar or even identical to those of the gods governing them.

or

Sulf 'ada-zon: A permutation of sulfadiazine, from Silver sulfadiazine, an active ingredient in many creams used to treat burns.

This was directed at you.  Sorry if I didn't make that obvious
