Lars looks at them for a minute, then shrugs. "Brother Mesk will be here shortly to aid you."
He switches from external to internal. "Brother Mesk, please aid these civilians. There appears to be no threat here."
Stand around and look helpful. Provide comfort to those who need it.
((Is this team supposed to be asking who saw what? I don't think Lars heard that part of the briefing.))
You decide to provide comfort and a dynamic appearance of helpfulness through interpretive dance.
Well, at least they don't consider you a threat anymore.
(( The latter, I fear 
I'm sure we'll get the hang of it after a few plates. Even the most handiwork inept of us has got to be able to figure out how to cut out a rectangular armor plate in only a few tries XD
Though I was really, really hoping that the use of welding equipment would make this an AUX task, as little as that would have helped Whitius. Ah well, at least the one of us with any handiwork at all is over here with the welding equipment. ))
You okay out there?
See if any of the connections need to be removed on this side. If not, take notes on the connection points for future attachment (go go dynamic bonus!)
[handi:5]
You sever the connection points of the plate with relative ease, despite the lack of space.
"What am I supposed to do again?"
Try to remember what I was supposed to be doing.
"You'll be the one handing him tools if he needs'em." the man in the orange coveralls says. "And if he falls in the gears, you're going in next."
Charles delivers a speech to calm them down and proselytize them to ARM.
[4+1]
You deliver a long and stirring speech about how ARM is going to fix the things they want fixed, kill the things they want killed and ignore the things they don't really care about. When it's over they seem more then willing to follow your directions, if nothing else.
((Like I said before, still sporadic connection,)) leave my action as Continue trying to cut off plate, if successful, proceed to next damaged plate AFTER welding on the new plate. If not, try again
"Gah, damned thing slipped, I'm alright though. Let's try this again."
((edit: yeah... Marcius has a -2 to aux... probably not a good thing if the cutter was aux heavy ))
[handi:4-1]
You make a few cuts, but it's not enough to free the plate.
[handi:3-1]
You try again, and this time the cutter gets wedged and pulls itself free of your hands. It falls to the catwalk several stories down.
Dynamic AUX bonus: +/-1
If Marcius actually manages to cut off a plate this turn, take it off and replace it. If Marcius severs his harness's line, catch him. Otherwise, continue charging my AUX bonus by practicing more complex movements in the air. Maybe pick up some armor plates to test how the arms respond with a weight.
((Are we just replacing a few plates? Or will our general performance over the next few plates be extrapolated to several hours of work?))
(extrapolated, Not gonna have you replacing plates 50 times.)
You pick up an armor plate and slowly rotate it around in the robotic hands. They're slower, and the control system seems to have purposefully become weightier to simulate the added mass, but it's still easy enough to control. You wonder how they do it, with limbs this thin and long.
Attend to injured, perform triage, dynamic bonus, burma-shave.
Thats an interesting reference there, sir.
You walk over to the two that seem the most injured. One has a deep cut in his shoulder, which goes straight down to his collar bone and breaks it. The other as a puncture wound in his chest an inch in diameter and air is quite clearly being sucked in with every breath.
"Oh boy, a sucking chest wound. Been a while since I've seen one of those."
((Ah, I knew leaving that up to a speech roll was the best option 
)
STEPHEN HAWKING gets in there and invents that friendship. Also he makes absolutely sure he got his "#1 Dad" mug. That mug is very important. It shows he's personable.
You walk around, showing off your mug like a show girl on the price is right, minus the sparkly dress.
Some day you'll have that sparkly dress, Stephen. Some day.
((Oh god who gave Toaster/Lars civilians to corrupt.))
((Religion is an excellent medium of propaganda. And I will refuse to give examples for freaking obvious reasons, so don't ask.
The absolute worst case scenario would be too much success. And tht would count as a win, overall.))
Even the most handiwork inept of us has got to be able to figure out how to cut out a rectangular armor plate in only a few tries XD
((Dammit Kriellya...))
"Voices?"
We have names, you know.
Numbers, at least. I'm One.
I'm Two.
I'm the Great--
He's Three.
You're no fun. For five minutes, I was a god! And now--
You're a voice in a kid's head.
"Do you know anything useful or are you just going to be annoying?"
We really don't know anything more than you do. Everyone knows what One knows, all the rest I've got is a second of looking around and realizing I'm not crushed before getting shot, and Three...well, I don't think you learned about reactors while he was around.
And listening to him comes with...issues.
Implying what, exactly?
"I'm in trouble."
Stop trying to duel me! We don't have any physical presence!
Keep looking for something that looks broken. If this fails, ask for help.
[aux:6]
THERE IT IS! THERE! THAT COOLING FAN IS STUCK AND IT'S CAUSING THAT RADIATOR TO RUN INEFFICIENTLY, WHICH IS CAUSING OVER HEATING IN THIS ENTIRE SECTION! EXCELSIOR!
You leap in to fix the fan.
To the people outside the housing, there's a loud sound of meat crushing and fluid splattering. The a hissPOP! followed by a confused voice asking how he got here and whats going on.
God damn it.
"Hide away, folk family, or else someone's gonna get you, someone's gonna get you, someone's gonna get you-ou..."
Sing. Help Mesk in providing medical aid to the survivors.
Mesk Stares at you as you wander near to his patients.
"NO. Only I may save their lives and/or kick them to death, depending on my whims."
Coddle Piecewise.
Two Sectopods in one mission.
What is this.
Coddle? Not cuddle?
You treat Piecewise in an overly indulgent and protective manner. I'm not sure what you're protecting him from or indulging him in, though.
Also yeah. I got a random mission once with 3 of their mechs, a bunch of elite mutons and those flying jellyfish things. Shit would be hard enough without half my team getting strangled every turn.
