Brother Lars walked off the shuttle and into the hangar. As he entered the ship and noticed the damage, he could only think of one thing; the holy relics!
He dashed to the Rec Room.
Check on the Bust of St. Milno and the Altar of Steve. Are they okay?
Yeah, they're fine.
Um... I can do favours. What kind though? Like the... killing kind or the... violations kind?
The Syringe to the neck kind.
Arriving on to the ship (post-mission-17) and been debriefed and recieved my mission tokens at the shuttle, I search out the Doctor in the medbay. Once I'm nearby, I find a less-busy corner to sit in and type on my wristpad.
Want stealth, speed. Want body same. Like being small. Think fur change. Maybe bones and muscles stronger. Maybe brain think faster. Not sure.
Want awareness. Know when danger near, help avoid. Not sure how.
Want advice, maybe want change after. Have tokens, willing use for change.
Message the doctor from inside his lair.
How about a chimpanzee? They're small, quick, can tear the arm off a man, etc.
Phoebe flailed wildly on the floor. "I demand to see my lawyer! You can't- wait."
He looked around the the gravity of his situation dawns on time. Also the fact that he's naked.
Look around for some clothes
You find yourself some clothes. Some clothes that aren't burnt. There are a lot of those around here for some reason.
"Hmm, I guess I'll just wear it until I figure out what it is capable of. I would like to buy a gauss pistol if I can afford one with my remaining two tokens. How much ammo could do they usually hold, and how much can I get with it?"
Buy a gauss pistol from the armory master with my remaining two tokens.
WIKI GNOMES! PEOPLE BUYING THINGS! I NEED AN ADULT!
((Yeah... well, there'll be a respec with the upcoming new roll system, right?))
Find the armory, and query the AM
"Hai! So, during the event, I entered this... airlock maybe? There were a bunch of weird rods on the wall, and there was a door, but I think the door was broken, it wouldn't open, so I thought I'd preform a... manual override, and grabbed one of the rods to use in the... override, but my arms caught fire, it didn't really hurt though, and now my arms look all awesome, and I can shoot lightning with them, and I can make things catch fire by touching them, but I'm having trouble touching stuff withouth destroying it, if I concentrate I can kinda not destroy stuff but I can't control it most of the time, do you think you could help me? I ready asked a scientist but they didn't think they had anything."
(Yup.)
"There are some drugs I could recommend to make it easier, but if you really want to permanently enhance your capacities, the Doctor is the one to talk to."
When Maurice stepped down on the familiar metal floor of the Sword, he felt the familiar mix of relief and excitement. Ah, the good old Paracelsus' Sword... How many times has it been? Four? Six? No, five. Yes - half the term I'd have to serve here, had it been the old times. Oh no, except that one first did not count, so - four? Still, he quietly chuckled to himself, enough.
So much to do, so little time to...
First things first, though. I am not coming back. ...How fitting, in the end - who'd ever guess?
((I'm in a little bit of hurry, so sorry for cramped posts, Piecewise. Just let's imagine Maurice running around like an overcharged energizer bunny? Especially since most of the actions are either 'flavor' or 'press key to continue' type.))
Go eat a wonderful dessert in the cafeteria. Try all dessert buttons.
Recall Dr.VonNost's face from the Ghostship memories I visited. Did he look in any way like the Doctor? (Apart the glasses and the labcoat, of course.)
Ask Steve whether he's fine with me removing the shock implant.
Take the burlap sac out of the locker and finally let out whatever was inside it.
Hey Steve, can I have my shock implant removed? You've known me for five missions - four of them successful - after all. I won't come on a mission without it as long as you insist so - but now that we're supposedly free people, I'd like to enjoy the half-forgotten feeling of being my own master for a little while.
"...I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."
You try the desert buttons until find a nice chocolate cake. We'll assume you were trying them one at a time and not all at once. All at once would probably result in a mound of sugary goo
Hard to tell. VonNost was older, with balding gray hair, and perhaps a bit shorter. The doctor's face is hidden by his mask and glasses, and he's got a smooth shaved; not to mention his age is hard to place. Maybe mid 30's to look at him? There's definitely similarities, but there are also obvious differences.
>Not sure how you'd do that on yourself. That implant is more then a shock implant too, it's how I track you guys and monitor your life signs. You want to just dump it out or grab stuff out of it or look in or what?
Go into Duel and create a urban battle in a city about twice the size of Tokyo against first one UWM divisions vs one 21st century equivalent tech level divisions without nuclear weapons of any kind. Then regardless of outcome, increase the number of divisions of each size and add or remove random conditions about 12 times. I'm just looking for a fun description of events and/or interesting tactics.
Well, this isn't gonna be much of a battle is it? I mean, UWM has freaking lasers. 21st Century got lasers? Naw. 21st century have a horde of gunnerbots they can unleash like a fox hunter releasing the hounds? No. Do they have Battle suits? No. They got ineffective rifles, some degree of armor, and ptsd.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsx2vdn7gpYThis is gonna be a case of RL spawn camping. Like Conquistadors fighting miniguns. Shit gonna get wrecked.
>Win the heart of the AM by emitting sexy bear pheromones.
Retreat with great haste if she reacts violently to this plan.
Also, drink bear beer.
Funny thing about this.
You transform back into a man half way through your attempt. Which leaves you standing in the armory, naked, with a look of constipation fighting concentration on your face.
She raises an eyebrow at you.

Elisaz 2: Ursine Boogaloo
Purchase a set of running stilts from the armory. Then go try them on. In the hangar bay or something, to avoid prelimary helmet testing.
Running stilts eh? Those are neat. Though they seem very situational. What were you expecting them to do for you, gameplay wise?
Go grab my PDA then turn it on and place it on my tron skull, observe happenings.
If nothing of note occurs try using lead wire to use it first as a battery for the pda and then as a load for the battery, observe happenings.
The PDA begins acting strangely. There are little ASCII skulls traveling around on the display like pacman, eating the display and leaving dead pixels behind.
Yaroslav goes out of that Tinker program in Virtual Reality machines room, which he found very handy, leaving a simulation of his project running, programmed to form a report when it ends. He goes around the corridors, his hands crossed behinds his back, trying to memorize ships' scheme. Speaking of the ship, it seems kinda shabby - from pieces of talks he overhears it can be figured that some kind of incident happened just prior to his awakening.
Diversity of ARM troopers would make any spaceport look like an office. He passed the giant combat cyborg, somewhat twice his height; and then there was a guy furiously burning through multiple pairs of pants. Something like bear roar could be heard in corridors, but Yaroslav just couldn't see the source of it. A guy rushed past him carrying a glowing... skull? He seemed very exited about it. In medbay, there was a doctor. Something about him was slightly disturbing, though Yaroslav failed to figure what exactly it was. An old-fashioned syringe, which polished metal parts proved it was actively used? Circular glasses in front of jet black, obviously artificial and enhanced eyes? Respirator? Well he had seen weirder things back home, but... ah, forget it.
All these guys, and now he, a headless cyborg, is going to be one of them.
Head to Armory, and thoroughly read the weapon list, prices and descriptions. If it isn't specified in description, inquire from armory master if Gauss-rifle is capable of burst-firing, if standard model doesn't, inquire if there is a pattern capable of it.
"It's possible, but it's larger because it requires several capacitors to hold the charge for each shot. "
