"Excuse me ma'am, but would you happen to be in the need of a public speaker or negotiator? I would wager that my services are likely better suited to assist the governing of a planet and management of human resources than actual combat."

[Toaster]

((So what, if we tackle down and pin a teammate, we can hack into their suit?  Not that I see any actual use for doing so...))

((You could deprive them of Tetris.))

[Harry Baldman]

Push the buttons! One at a time, preferably. While still and while flying! Should the rocket armchair perish as a result, spawn in another one! Experiment until I have found out the secret abilities of this device!

[Parisbre56]

((You assume correctly.))

Continue to be in meeting. Continue to be bodyguard. Look imposing.

If everything is quiet and I am inside my battlesuit, familiarise myself with Gilgamesh's computer to gain a dynamic bonus. Ask the AM if she has some tips or a manual or something like that.

If everything is quiet but a battlesuit is a bit too large to be in the briefing room, inspect my mono-razor.

"You know, even in virtual reality, getting cooked alive doesn't sound all that fun, you know?"

Kneel down to make myself somewhat smaller, then use microwave amp to cool down a sphere large enough to contain all of my body and maintain a pleasant temperature

[syvarris]

((Figured as much.  Oh well, one of my long-term plans is to make a command & control network that connects everyone's systems, so it won't be a problem forever.

And Toaster, it is very, very useful for an AUX char.  MKIII suits have exoskeletons.  Robobodies have interpreting computers.  Both of those can be overridden and controlled, to recover wounded or to use bodies as meat shields.

And the UWM uses both of those.))

Dynamic AUX bonus: +/-1

Continue charging AUX bonus.  Text Jim, and if he allows me to, set up a wireless connection to his robobody's computers.

Hey, I'm working on an exoskeleton program that is useful for recovering wounded from the battlefield without risking other personnel.  I have access to an exoskeleton, so that part is simple, but I think I may be able to expand it's functionality to robotic bodies if I had access to their software.  Would you be okay if I set up a wireless connection to your onboard computers, so that I could examine the software's architecture?  I will be as careful as possible to not touch anything.

Also, as a side note, may I ask about your username?  It seems like the type of thing that would have a story behind it.

[Knight Otu]

Heat the presumed location of the cockpit if I'm still able to do anything.

((You forgot my action. I will repost it in the tinker thread.))

[syvarris]

((Don't ask how I managed to post in the Ship thread instead of the OOC thread, replying to OOC thread posts.  I don't have any idea myself.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

Im gonna stick a big honking electrolaser on it, dont worry ill keep it within the budget you gave me.

As for the pilot, knowing hes accountable if he fucks up is pretty obvious, but feel free to wake him if you want confirmation.

replace tanks gauss artillery with a basic tank scaled heavy laser, spend all remaining RU from the 15 budget getting the most powerful tesla coil i can. (weapons should be reactor driven, no batteries but capacitors are fine.))

((Blarghh. I knew I was mostly useless with that choice given my...body now. >__> Blehh.))

"So what's your decision Simus? You have many people willing to go with your choice, and we pretty much trust you here."

[PyroDesu]

((PW, I'm going to preemptively say that I am so, so sorry for this. Especially since I've seen what's going on in the Tinker thread already (hopefully that will quiet down during missions).))

My decision is that I want to see how they work. Nothing major, mind.

Okay, [she turns to the rest of the group] the final thing I would like you to do is come with me. I want to see how you work in an engineering context with a specified goal and restrictions on what you can use to achieve it. Note that it's not representative of what you will be doing here - you'll have a significantly freer hand, but I want to see how each of you works. Namely, the goal will be to kill, or at least, severely damage a Battlesuit, with 3 major restrictions: It must be a conventional weapon, by the Armory's definition, it must be unique - no copies or facsimiles, and you can only use parts from cutting lasers and above, and not the full weapon. While it's an easy solution, simply spawning a heavy gauss rifle doesn't tell me anything. Categories other than Conventional are not affected by the last restriction, use them as you will. [she turns to Milno, Jim, and Miyamoto's projection] Generals, you need not attend this if you do not wish to, I'll have a record of the session. You're only here in case someone you want to stay with you ends up wanting to stay with me, really.

And... Charles, wasn't it? Yes, I'm going to want someone to help deal with the niceties. Especially considering that most of the workforce here were indentured workers, bound by contract with companies and the UWM. If you're volunteering as a spokesman, I'll keep that in consideration. I'd still like you to come and do this little project with the others.

To Virtual Reality, all participants in a single Tinker session, set to record and automatically download the file for later review.

((Everyone involved, this is your cue to move to the Tinker thread. Hopefully, our stuff won't get lost in the horde that's there already. Unless PW wants to further segregate Tinker and Hephaestus stuff, now we have a subforum.))

[Tiruin]

Cross posting move point.

Tinker thread


Feyri nodded and moved to the VR room. Hopefully, she got what Simus' message was, correctly.

"Uh, ma'am, I'm not an engineer, I'm more of a negotiator or public speaker..."
