[Pancaek]

"That's just silly. Not even the Internet on Xenospit could cook up something like that. I hope."

"You underestimate what people can come up with when they're bored. Still, this is just a little bit silly."

Keep watching

[Powder Miner]

"...uh, yes, I do have one question. How much can I buy from the armory?"

[Doomblade187]

"Well, you can buy everything ranging from guns to atom-thick blades to prosthetic limbs to space magic devices. There's a list on the wall by the kiosk."

[smurfingtonthethird]

Lerman pokes his head in.
"You can also get weirder stuff if you ask, whether it be tanks, experimental weaponry or synthetic monsters.

[Powder Miner]

"No, I mean money-wise. I want to replace my amp and get a gun."

[smurfingtonthethird]

"Oh, you're a poor shit when you start out, you've got 5 tokens. Give them to the AM (treat her nicely or risk evisceration) and she'll give you your goodies."

[piecewise]

Open tinker and load up Halberd mech design.

Spoiler: Halberd. (click to show/hide)

"Halberd"Rapid Battle Unit
Armour: Electro Reactive Armour
Height: Around 16 ft (how many meters is that?) tall for most configurations.
Weapons: 1 Coilgun or equivalent rapid fire weapon along with a choice of either a under barrel rocket launcher or a bayonet type weapon. 1 mech scale dagger or sword type weapon for melee. 2x shoulder blades as well. 1 optional wrist mounted shield made of battle suit plate.

Movement: Roller blade style system mounted on feet to allow for quick movement across most surfaces with ability to be stowed inside the feet to allow for movement on rougher surfaces such as a wreckage strewn fields or mountains.
Cargo: 1 Pilot and/or AI controlled.
Support: Auto repair kit.

Operation: This configuration is designed to rapidly engage enemy forces while being supported by other Halberds and other friendly units including infantry and air support. And if equipped with a under barrel rocket launcher, it can engage enemy armour units if it has to.

Advantages: Speed, adaptability and same basic parts used in all configuration.
Disadvantages: not as heavily armoured as units such as a battlesuit.

[spoiler=Appearance of Standard config (With the pilot begin enclosed of course)].

NO TIME
TIME SKIP!

"A-ha! Fascinating!"

How large is this beaver rock? If possible to carry inside a jar, collect! If not, stand and appreciate it for a moment. Search for more life afterwards.

BEAVER ROCK COLLECTED

TIME SKIP INCOMING

((Okay, we have some sort of cool lightning gun and... something weird. Let's leave test firing indigo for last.))

Question about green mode: Do the balls appear wherever the green-shotgun-blast-light-thing passes through or only on whatever it hits?

Question about indigo mode: The heads move around on their own? If yes, move the gun around. Do they seem to point at something in particular? Do the heads glow or does the glow come from somewhere else? If the heads don't glow, try very gently touching a head with my battlesuit's finger, see how it feels and how the head reacts.

Let's try orange. Pictogram and shape only, do not fire. Also need the pictogram of yellow, I already got the form.

ONLY WHAT IT HITS

They don't seem to focus on anything in particular. The glow comes from the tips of the heads.

Yellow shows a ball with circular lines radiating out around it.

Orange shows a radioactivity symbol.

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

Cause I typed the wrong word.

You're in the armory.

Heh, fair enough, like I say I was pretty out of it thanks to sleep deprivation and real life stuff the other day so I wasn't sure I hadn't missed something... I have a hard enough time thinking coherently at the best of times

Despite intending to go to the armory Angel had obviously gotten turned around a bit and ended up in the infirmiry... Maybe the stasis effects were lingering a bit longer than he intended or it was the old "officer and a map" problem...ah well he needed to check it out anyway... taking a few minutes to look around the front... the infirmary staff appeared competent, which was reassuring, an army might traditionally march on its stomach, but medicine came in a close second. Still no time for dawdling there were UWM to pick a fight with...

Following the signs to the armory againit occured to Angel that he had no idea of the rank structure on board ship Ah well... when in doubt salute everything and the ones who aren't supposed to be saluted will tell you... usually at high volume so on reaching the kiosk he stould to attention and snapped a salute to the AM (and anyone else there)


Sir!


Go to the armory this time, don't get lost along the way again, salute anything that gets two out of three on alive, humanoid, motile. Purchase a monoatomoic razor, a Laser Rifle and spare clip

I think you might have just saluted Manny, the animate severed hand.  Anyways.

Lets see. Mono-razor, laser rifle and spare battery added to inventory. Money removed.

Heh, if Manny is the worst thing I ended up saluting I think I'm doing pretty well... besides this is ER... it wouldn't surprise me to find that Manny is secretly running the show with Steve

Explore the ship a bit, plug into VR and review past HMRC/ARM missions ... be mildly concerned... then if there's still time head to the gym and train

Well, I suppose thats IC knowledge of previous missions.

ALSO TIME SKIP TIME SKIP

HOLD ONTO YOUR GENITALS!

Check if I have tokens. Head to the common room. Look for people.

Everyone starts with 5.

You walk to the rec room. There are lots of people around, including one hiding behind a table with a severed hand on his head, people watching tv, SOME PEOPLE in VR machines, etc.

TIME SKIP IN COMING!

Store the fungus in a jar. Continue probing for life.

Fungus Bottled. It is Among us.

Bubble

You make a fish face and glare at passing nurses.

"That's just silly. Not even the Internet on Xenospit could cook up something like that. I hope."

Continue watching and smoking.

Spoiler: Gorat 'Chin' Ivanos (click to show/hide)

Str 3; Dex 3; End 3; Cha 7; Int 4; Wil 15//Spe 0; Int 1; Han 0 (-1); Con 1; Unc 0; Exo 9; Aux 3 (+1); Med 0
Mk II Suit; Microwave PK Amp; laser rifle; 3 tokens: normal cigarettes; blue smokes; datapad (with platformer shooter); nanoghosts; shock trigger (with me)
Appearance: 5'11'', 170 pounds in a rather unmuscular frame, shoulder-long brown hair, short goatee, brown eyes, a rather long chin that earned him his nickname. Age 32
Half a robot foot. Robot right arm. Wears basic clothes when not in the Mk II.

The kid murdered his mother and put her head on a fish? The fuck is this even about?

Restart the Mission Replay program.

Yes, while Tinkering. It's called multitasking. If I can forum while launching a (virtual) spaceship, Grate can tinker while doing the Mission Replay thing.

If the former logic is accepted, look around to remember where I was, grab the monorazor, and peek out to get an idea of the scope of the situation.

((I was on Mission 1 right before a catastrophic drop pod failure.))

Multitasking in VR is also known as begging for schizophrenia. Also no. We're time jumping.

((@piecewise: I have no idea if Milno had that gel-thing added to his rocket pods. I do remember being the first one to research it but I'm not sure if I added them.))

Milno heads once more to the armory after some exercising, having had an idea that may help in the battle sure to come. He passes by a few recently-spilled newbies but doesn't pay them too much attention, making a straight line towards the armory's kiosk.

Check prices and quality of shields; maximum price of around 15 tokens.

For 15 tokens you can have just about freaking anything shield wise.  What were you thinking of?

Return squished guys items to him, remove jacks
body from my crate if its still there and deliver it to
the infirmaryorgue.

Inspect my EMP claymores and IR tripwires, whats
the yield on the EMP? Can either item be activated
via radio signal or triggered via other means? Do
they have unlabeled buttons/dials? Whats the EMP
effect radius?

I forget what was grate's.

Pretty powerful, though it seems to be pure emp.
Not as they are, but modifying them to be able to should be easy.
Nah. They really don't have any dials or buttons.
Depends on how they're set up. Unrestrained, a good several hundred foot radius.














WE ARE ENTERING THE TIME SKIP. IN UNIVERSE A TIME OF ABOUT ONE YEAR WILL PASS. POST WHAT YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTER TO DO FOR THAT ONE YEAR. EFFECTS OF WHAT HAPPENS OVER THAT YEAR DEPEND ON WHAT IS POSTED. SMARTASSES OR THE TINKERPRONE WHO ATTEMPT TO USE THIS AS A METHOD OF DOING THINGS WHICH ARE POTENTIALLY BROKEN WILL SPEND A YEAR IN NYAR'S KNEE BEATING ROOM.


AFTER THE TIME SKIP, I WILL TURN CONTROL OF ALL TROOPS OVER TO MIYAMOTO AND THE TRUE DEATH MAY BEGIN

[SeriousConcentrate]

Jim spends the year practicing with his amps in an attempt to increase the amount of times he can use them before getting drained.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Lerman spends the rest of the year training to use his cutting laser and Gauss pistol (Miyamoto made it for a question coupon) against enemies at range. Continue biological survey of surrounding area, research the critters for possible combat stimulants or medical advantages. Finally, 'acquire' goodies for a mechsuit without anyone noticing.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Oh geez. Um. I dunno.

Try to design things in Tinker and learn about what happened on past missions. Also help set things up I guess?
Ideally try to piece together little details about how my resurrection thing works, by seeing if I revert for nonlethal injuries and anything else that comes up, but don't actively try to experiment. I'm not an idiot.
If people let me have my pill machine and little fuzzy ant-things, test the effects of pills made from various free/common things, like food, silverware, Mellows, Xeno-Spit, air, and (when no one is looking) other ant-things, possibly including ones which had eaten other pills. Determine effects of various types of pills.

...Alright.
Purchase a Medium Gold Hexagonal Nyars box with a diagonal line. Examine contents; attempt to determine what they are/do.

[Xantalos]

Actions for the timeskip:
-Go to Simus and create a copy of my brain with my personality. Excrete it with enough biomass to build a body the size of a Golden Retriever and give it to Simus to store in a hidden box or something.
-Then head back to the ship and spend the year practicing shapeshifting so I can do it more times before I run out of biomass reserves.
-Oh, and kill and consume that goddamn fishman.
-Test out that katana I recieved from the Christmas draw on various targets.
-Search up that Halstrom effect or whatever it was that synth flesh exhibits in large amounts.
-Buy and get a Mass Manipulator Amp installed (7 token).

[Tavik Toth]

Jack spends the Year practice useing his various weapons, learning how to drive the APC/Rocket bike/ThunderTron/any other vehicles. He also helps with repairing anything that needs repairing. Oh and he tries to improve his strength endurance and will as much as he can.

[Phoenix Flame]

Angel will spend the year training in the gym focusing on endurance training and in VR with the laser rifle running through as many different scenarios as possible: with weights on arms and legs, in high and low-g environments, in uneven and shifting G-fields, snap shooting and precise sniping, hostage scenarios, MOUT, impaired visibility basically anything he can think of, he'll spend less time but still some on VR sparring with the monoatomic razor, getting a feel for it and how it responds .

[Radio Controlled]

Miyamoto uses the year to try and master his naginata (aka make using it require an uncon roll instead of a dex roll).

If this is not possible/not allowed, he spends the year training with his universal manip. He'll try finding new techniques, like combining different 'flavors' of manip to achieve special effects (like the 'expanding heatblade' thing he used on those riot-shield using sods). Failing that, he tries to increase his mindpool so he can use his manip longer before tiring out.

If allowed, he will also construct a few neotherm/namite/whatever(ask pariah for details) grenades, or one canister if the stuff. Training with the naginata or manip still comes first though, constructing these are an aside.

AFTER THE TIME SKIP, I WILL TURN CONTROL OF ALL TROOPS OVER TO MIYAMOTO AND THE TRUE DEATH MAY BEGIN

Why do I suddenly get the feeling we didn't prepare enough and we're all gonna die thanks to my inept plans? OH GOD THE PRESSURE

[NAV]

Get my head attached, hopefully not backwards.
Grow a mohawk.
Find out any and all features the robot body has.
Practice with my new body, hopefully gaining some dexterity.
Acquire in character knowledge of previous missions.
