[piecewise]

-On synthskin aftermarket and special genetic enchancements
-lets go with 7
-Those are kinda made to order. I make em up as I go. So what kinda bonus you want?

((Two questions to go with those answers.
 Aftermarket synthskin: So now that I know the cost, can you put into numbers the chance that it 'doesn't stick' as you said?
Genetic enhancement: I'd be looking for Exo or Will. Basically something to go with amps. What would that cost and what would the effects be?))

-1/6~ Maybe I'll give ya a reroll if you have good end.
-The easiest would probably be will, since Exo is a learned skill not an inherent capacity, like will is. Increased will, depending on what we go with, would probably have side effects like one of the following: Headaches, arrogance, hallucinations, delusions, prophetic visions, weakening of physical body, degenerative physical conditions, mental health issues, etc.

Xan walks out of the infirmary, looking faintly shocked somehow, his face drawn and almost quivering. He composes himself, his skin settling back down on his generic face, and he walks toward the armory, sending a message to Steve as he does so, this time via the method everyone else does. No braintexting, that never happened.

Would you be amicable to gifting me the 5 tokens given to new inmates, given that I'm going to be posing as one, or will I be left without for the moment?

I probably should've bolded this. It's Xan asking if he can have 5 tokens since technically he's a new inmate. I'm fine either way.

Do you count old Xan's tokens as being yours? If not, do that. But no, no new starting cash. Don't need you farming yourself for tokens, so to speak.

Alright then, nice welcoming party.
Now then, just need to go through my checklist.
Clothes...
Ah.
Look around for clothes, put said clothes on, then look at Schrodingers Map and walk to the armoury.

Clothed. Whatcha want in the armory?

ask the Armoury Master: "Hey umm… is there any sort of training i can get for how to use [the sniper rifle]? Like i know which end to point where, but…."

alright, lets get down to brass tacks here, yobbo, old friend, are you trying for some sort of training to get a bonus or just instructions about how to snipe?

Well…
partly idle RP, partly looking for something to have Yttra do while i'm busy IRL.

if there is some way to do some training (VR maybe? i don't know how that works) and get a bonus specifically to not-shooting-yourself-in-the-face-with-a-sniper-rifle then that would be pretty sweet.

if she became a guinea-pig for the training videos Hasala and Pancaek were making that might be pretty funny.

Really i'm expecting either to be pointed at the VR (in which case she'll go shoot some targets), or given some sort of useless brochure (in which case she'll go punch a punching bag).

I dunno how to do the Hasala training video thing in game mechanics...but we could always give you training that, with that specific weapon, will make a roll of 1 not as bad as it normally would be.

((Hey pancaek you want a free cloak? I need all my money for purchases including the two i never punched anyone for.))

Ask the doc if its possible to install additional devices to the spiderdroid and add or alter programs to utilize them.

Also just to confirm: its 2-3 tokens to fix the cloak which is... a shade cloak?

Install devices, maybe. Alter programs...it would take rolls, but yes. Droid isn't alien so I can't really pull the whole "you can not comprehend it!" card.

Did I quote a price before? I forget. If I did then it's that. And it's a changeling cloak. UE's get changling, SW's get shade.

Ciel tumbles out of the stasis chamber, dazed but still on her feet.

Wonderful. I'm fucked. She thinks to herself.

Grab clothes, put on clothes, follow signs to armory. Get Microwave PK Amp. Get Installed.

Done and done.

{Wiki}
Dis guy got a PK amp. Subtract his cash, add his inventory.

Go to the armory to see about getting my shield upgraded.

Upgraded how? Also, what shield? Riot shield?

[kj1225]

The riot shield. And I was think adding plating to it, maybe Milno plate? Or attaching locker doors to it.

[piecewise]

The riot shield. And I was think adding plating to it, maybe Milno plate? Or attaching locker doors to it.

Milno plate is pretty expensive. I Think it was 5 tokens just for his chestplate (Ironically he's barely in armor anymore). And his chest isn't nearly as large as your shield. We could give it a plate of simple scrap metal. It's nothing special but it would make it stronger, at least twice as strong.

[kj1225]

Alright. Maybe at some point I can afford that... *wistful sigh*

[NAV]

The chestplate is only 3 tokens, not 5.

[Xantalos]

N-oh. I didn't consider those could be transferred.
Uh. Can we say Steve reminded him about those and that they're in his locker?

Uh.

Go and pick up the 10 tokens Old!Xan left behind, since neither Xan was one to refuse cash. Then go head to the rec room while charging a Will bonus.

Just to save a bit of time, after that I'm going to try to plug into the VR (I'm standard human for now so it should work hopefully), boot up Duel, put that test dummy thing in as an opponent, and equip myself with a microwave amp.

Continuing with the ARMISTICE VR training program:

None of the scenarios are hardcoded; instead, the program should draw its repertoire from files in a directory. Mostly so adding and removing scenarios is relatively easy even for people with little computer literacy (like Hasala).

Scenarios:

Spoiler: Weapon Safety and Handling (click to show/hide)

This scenario deals with proper firearm handling. Basic lessons anyone with a gun should know: keep your finger away from the trigger unless you actually want to fire, keep the safety on and the gun unloaded (if applicable) when not in use, pointing the gun at the ground when not aiming at something, never fire from the hip, use bursts when firing automatic weapons and sweeps with lasers, etc. Video.

Spoiler: Firearm Familiarity (click to show/hide)

This is the scenario where all of the standard UWM and ARM guns are explained. Video & Scenario. Video version has Hasala go through the UWM guns, then the ARM guns. Scenario does the same, but VR Hasala will ask for and answer questions between guns.

Spoiler: Firing Range (click to show/hide)

It's a firing range. All of the guns from the Firearm Familiarity scenario are available for practice. Other weapons can be added to the scenario by talking to VR Hasala and/or adding files to the scenario's weapons folder. VR Hasala also specifically tells them to request more appropriate weaponry if they'll be using mostly gunpowder-based weapons, and how to make them the default selection for the scenario.

Spoiler: Tactics I (click to show/hide)

This scenario teaches the users about situational awareness, coordination, and avoiding friendly fire. VR Hasala narrates while a team of Sods go through the proper motions. Video.

Spoiler: Tactics II (click to show/hide)

This scenario teaches the users about cover, and explains the difference between partial cover (which blocks line of sight, but doesn't provide protection against UWM weapons fire) and full cover (which blocks both line of sight and weapons fire). It also explains the necessity of taking a split second to do friend-or-foe recognition, to prevent friendly fire or civilian casualties. VR Hasala narrates while a team of VR ARM troopers go through the motions, including shooting UWM Sods through partial cover and being protected by full cover, while avoiding shooting civilians caught in the middle. Video.

Spoiler: Tactics III (click to show/hide)

This scenario teaches the users about stealth and the benefits of having the first volley, clearing a room with minimal losses, suppression fire, executing ambushes, etc. VR Hasala narrates while Sods go through the proper motions. Video.

Spoiler: Know Thy Enemy (Sods) (click to show/hide)

This is Pancaek's technical video about Sods.

Spoiler: Beating Battlesuits (click to show/hide)

This scenario explains the strengths and weaknesses of a battlesuit and shows a few ways to take them down, including the paint trick, blocking/targeting the joints, opening up the cockpit to get at the pilot, etc. It stresses that battlesuit armor is pretty damn tough, which is why disabling the battlesuit is so much easier than destroying it. It also describes the various built-in systems. Video.

Spoiler: Combat Scenarios (click to show/hide)

These are bunch of VR scenarios that pit the users against UWM forces, composed of non-Sod soldiers, Sods, and battlesuits. There are two types: objective-oriented, and freeform. Objective-oriented scenarios give the users an objective to complete, usually taking over and/or defending a location from UWM forces. The game program gives them a score at the end based on how well they did (accuracy, collateral damage, friendly fire/civilian casualties, deaths, injuries, coordination, tactics, etc.) Have the program track the highest score, to give users a bit of incentive to do well.
Freeform scenarios give no objective, and are similar to Duel matches in that the users are dropped into a semi-random environment and have to fight UWM forces. They might be relatively evenly-matched or hopelessly outnumbered. Both types of combat scenario (objective and freeform) can take place in different environments; including urban, underground, Arctic, forest, grasslands, mountains, jungle, swamp, etc.

Also, reminding you that Steve is technically doing all the programming work, here. Just in case you forgot.

I'll probably add more to the program in the future, but this is it, so far. Save everything, then exit VR.

((Congratulations Swordsmith. That is some very, very nice work.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

Grab the two tokens off Steve with the promise of remaining employed until ive actually punched someone for him.
Grab one token off of execute/dumbo.exe

Buy spiderdroid from thaddeus for 5 tokens.

Charge handiwork.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

"Huh, never had anything this good in the mafia.
Gauss rifle... Nah, my arms are way too noodle like for that, well, until I know what I'm going to be doing, best pick the most versatile option available, the laser rifle."
Like I said, laser rifle.

[Radio Controlled]

((3 token repair cost for a 5 token cloak sold for a token? Hmm. No, I'm sorry, I don't think I can justify spending pool tokens on it. If you ever donate it top the pool I would have it repaired and sold for cheap, but as it stands I don't think It'd be the wisest decision.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

Greetings fellow inmates/resistance fighters

I would like to request aid in the form of a small 1 token loan so that i might upgrade my arsenal, rest assured i will not be using it for anything overly destructive but instead for something rather versatile and awesome.

Gratitude in advance, Auron.

[SeriousConcentrate]

(@U_P: at work right now, but if you can wait for payment, send me a pm detailing what the cloak does and I'll see if it interests me. If it does, I'll buy it off you when Jim gets back.)

Sure, already got the bare bones of what I need and I have no idea what to do with the rest of them.

Give that man a token!
