((Milno has a sharkmist infestation/symbiosis going for him, though trying to get a sample from him qualifies as a bad idea. Never experimented to find its full potential because in ER, everything like that is either screwing with you or lulling you into a false sense of security to screw you more throughly later.))

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

It may also be prudent to point out that Milno is our most experienced veteran, and the only scar he has to show for it is a single robot hand.  That he got on his first mission.  Dude's practically made of iron, compared to most HMRC inmates.

In any case it would be a battle of critical thinking and I refuse to fight an unarmed individual.

((Morul and Cog can attest to the "One does not simply fuck with alium tech." sentiment. Morul had his eyes burned out, his memories stolen, and is now a button press away from uncertain death. Cog got turned into sludge. Dammit, I spent so much time on Cog. Ah well. Such is life.))

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.

((Attempting to create crystals with intricate internal structures could lead to some interesting developments, depending on how PW takes it. Either that, or he'll just shock me and send me back to repairs.))
((No offense, but...aren't crystals defined by the simplicity of their structures? And if you're talking about just hollowing out strategic bits, well...what's wrong with metal?))

((What about Grate? Mixed in with a "Don't screw with space magic" moral.))

((I still like the ancient technique of throwing something at it and running if anything happens. If nothing happens, proceed to phase two and hit it. Then you grab it and haul ass.
((Well, depending on how much we want to abuse Grate's immortality and risk the wrath of players who are almost always absent, we could try patenting the "Throw Grate at it" method.))

((The crystals have simple yet strong internal molecular structures, like diamonds. Research can be done on finding stronger and more flexible crystal structures, which could be adapted for a useful metal alloy. Whats more, some crystals structures give them unique benefits, like piezoelectric crystals. They can be used to turn physical attacks into electric charge which would make good damage mitigation for armor, which is why I wanted to study the crystals from the crystalline projector. By either careful analysis or dumb luck, eventually more useful crystal structures could be found.))
((I also support patenting the "Throw Grate" method.))

((I highly doubt that you'd be able to find such crystal structures without a big lab and high skills in sciency stuff. If it's even possible--even diamond is horribly brittle.))

((I kinda hope Handiwork is related to science. I also hope that the same lab where people research their alien artifacts can be accessed by me. I again hope that PW doesn't taze me out of this path.))

((Handiwork isn't research, it's building stuff. Knitting, welding, and whittling have two things in common: They use Handiwork if you're crazy or in a weird and desperate enough situation, and they all involve following old techniques rather than inventing new ones. I'd guess science would be more of a straight Intelligence thing.))
