[Pancaek]

"Private Pancaek, report to the hangar please."

Pan, lounging around in the medbay after being put back together, starts hearing new voices in his head.

"Just as I was getting comfortable. Ugh."
"Oh, someone's in trouble. Better not stand to close to any airlocks"

He gets up and walks to the hangar, picking up a new shirt and shorts on the way there. Synthflesh body or not, nudism isn't really his thing.

"'Sup dawg. Why did you call me here?"

[Dorsidwarf]

Obtain shiny robot arm in tasteful pastel hues.
Buy a Rocket Rifle for 6 tokens.
Buy a Cutting Laser for 6 of my tokens plus the 2 borrowed ones
Sign on for mission 18.
"It's monster hunting season."

[Remalle]

Confirm for Miya's team.

"I'd berate you for the lack of proper respect, but then again we both know each other long enough for it not to matter. Just don't do it in front of the regular troopers, mkay?

Anyways, I'm calling you because I have a job for you, should you be interested."

[Pancaek]

"Right, I forget that you're a general sometimes. Don't worry big cheese, I'll try not to be too insubordinate around your mooks. And sure, I've got time. What do you need done? You need me to beat lerman to death with his own leg?"

"As enticing and undoubtedly entertaining that sounds, we've got more important matters to attend to I'm afraid. Maybe next time.

Basically, I've been talking to people about creating online training videos and VR courses for training insurgents. I already asked someone on Hep to take care of the propaganda videos, and tasked Hasala with the tactics side. Now, I'd like you to help me by creating the 'technical instruction' vids. Basically, the basic stuff every insurgent should know. What is a battlesuit, what equipment does it carry, where is its release hatch. How to field strip and clean a rifle, how to hold your gun to shoot straight, how to build an IED, how to create an improvised gas mask. That kinda stuff.

Do you think you could handle that? If yes, you can work on this at your own pace while we are away on mission. Be sure to coordinate with Hasala if you can. I'd appreciate it though if you don't go posting anything on the net until I have had a chance to review it. Not because I doubt your abilities, but out of principle really.

So, wanna play tech support for me?"

[Pancaek]

"sure thing chief. Give me a list of stuff that absolutely needs to be covered and I'll make you some fine insurgent psa's. Can I drop the name arm in them? Or should I use fake names, like cobra or something."

[Radio Controlled]

"sure thing chief. Give me a list of stuff that absolutely needs to be covered and I'll make you some fine insurgent psa's. Can I drop the name arm in them? Or should I use fake names, like cobra or something."

"Basic technical info about equipment, both UWM and improvised. Basic techniques, and stuff more tooled towards guerrilla fighting. You have quite some time, add whatever you think makes sense. And I think you can use the ARM name, yeah. Maybe check with Steve to be sure, as well as ideas for other subjects you'd need to cover."

[sambojin]

"So Steve, this agent you have, was he batshit crazy? I know you said he's not the superstitious sort, but that doesn't mean he's not just fucking insane. The desert does weird things to some people after a while. I mean, cold's not an actual bloody thing, is it? It's sort of the lack of it really, but you still can't eat it either way. Did his handler mention anything else? Not much to go on right now.

Oh yeah, do the locals have any whacked out taboos or customs or anything we should know about? Other than "don't eat cold"? And is it the same planet that the other mob are going? 'Coz I'm bringing a fuck-tonne of water if it is, but at least I'll know not to waste the shit."

((Radio: Lars will volunteer for the Raduga then, since he has the strength to use it unsuited (and is in a MkIII besides.) ))

[Kriellya]

Second one...are you looking for something that does all the work for you or just a +1?

Definitely not interested in a wireless Icepick. I don't have all that AUX for nothing!

I'm just interested in a datapad with programs that will allow me to do wireless and wired sniffing and hacking, not just provide me a bonus or circumvent a roll.
Though I would be interested in the price of a +1 bonus

Gonna have to be more specific about that first one. What isn't in the posts that you want to know?

There was a post from quite while ago that I wanted more details on, let me dig it up. Though I had an idea with cam eyes that is escaping me right now XD

I'll hide them in a spoiler since they were kind of long.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

((All available ones; I know we've got a handful of gene therapies under Exotics, but I'm curious what else can be done.

Well, the methods used vary between therapies, but the most common is a gene gun, basically a heavy molecule coated in the desired genetics that is forcibly implanted into the cells. They almost never use viral vectors, mostly because the method that produced the Altered was a viral method.

As per what they can do, there are lots. There are the "stat" ones, which give you +1 to one stat and -1 to another, such as +1 dex, -1 end. There are ones that raise skills with various side effects, usually ones that are a bit stranger then just a -1 on something. That's about as far as standard gene therapies go, but if you where to ask the Doctor, he might be willing to do something a little...illegal.

Any side effects to the gene gun method itself? What about the viral method, assuming nothing goes horribly wrong? Any major differences between the two?

Look up the penalties for having illegal gene modifications, as well as how thorough they usually are about enforcing that.

Examine gene therapies for increasing Intuition, Auxilliary, Medical, or Unconventional rolls.

Both gene therapy methods are normally very safe, the worst sideeffect being that they fail to take hold.

As per penalties and enforcement, that varies widely, but for the most part they won't bother you unless you look like a mutant abomination or start doing obviously inhuman things. But the penalty is usually death.

Intuition, Auxilliary, Medical, or Unconventional eh?

Intuition:They basically alter your brain so that you naturally produce the active ingredient in Bluesmoke cigarettes. +1 to intuition but it results in completely deadening your emotions. Effects how npc's react to you, among other things.

Aux: Rewires your brain, so to speak, in such a way that allows you to more easily understand and utilize the complex systems of the world around you. This does, however, cause you to have problems with simple things, often overlooking or over complicating simple tasks or objects. Alters lots of things, including descriptions of the world around you and how tinker "results" are displayed.

Med: Grants you a form of extreme empathy, allowing you to practically feel what the patient does and diagnose and treat them much more efficiently. Side effect being that seeing people being injured or killed has a much greater effect on you. You have to get a 3 or higher on a willpower roll every time you see someone get hurt or killed, lest you suffer the same pain they do. It's all psychological, you don't actually get physically injured from it, but still.

Uncon: Actually there are 2 forms of this, the "melee fighter's" form and the "Manipulator's" form. The melee fighter's increases uncon while also giving you a -1 to dex, but only outside of combat. So no penalty in combat, but anything else, -1. The manipulator's version alters your mind in such a way that you begin to think rather...oddly.

I was interested in the precise effect (bonus, dynamic bonus, pure stats, automated success for some rolls, whatever) and the price.
More specifically interested in how the Stat ones work, and the particulars of the Med and Aux augs, if you want it narrowed further.

Chat about stuff to buy!
Try and remember what I wanted to do with a cameye...

Well thats basically want you're asking for would be. Aux checks would let you do all that other stuff already.

As per gene stuff....eh lets save time. Anything I'd tell you I'd just be making up on the spot. What do you want from a gene therapy since it's gonna be custom if it isn't on the list.

Alright. What would the cost of the medical aug be, and what would the bonus be? I can think of a pile of them, not sure which you find most appropriate for the downside or price.
In order of preference: +1 dyn bonus, medical decomp (not sure what level), +1 bonus

And I think I remembered what I wanted to do with a cameye. You mentioned that Cam eye's can be disguised, what are the limits on disguising them? And what downside would you put on only replacing one eye, if any?

Oh, and on the subject of decomps, you mentioned way back when you introduced them that the best decomps drained mental stamina when triggered. Do they still do that? Or has no one actually triggered a decomp enough to notice?

[NAV]

See if I can go loot that guy's crystal arm before the mission starts. Never know when you might need a disembodied crystal arm.

[Icefire2314]

(Fight NAV for crystal arm)

(I will be able to post for the mission. Is that confirmation or do I need to head somewhere in game as well?)

Wander around looking for his mission group.

Do the above after running to the Armory and buying a spare battery for the laser rifle.

[Parisbre56]

Could I control the mechanical break in the arm both via Gilgamesh's computer and a physical switch inside the cockpit that supersedes the computer? I mean, allow the computer to control the break only when the physical switch is in the Computer Controlled position,  with the physical switch having the following options: On, Off, Computer Controlled.

((Since I haven't been replied to, I'll assume I'm not on this round of missions.))

Kai goes into the mess and eats whatever it is that the dispenser dispenses, probably not a good idea, but he does it anyway.
