(still private comms, by the way)
"As long as you get those pills, it can stand there till hell freezes over for all I care. Though, should it get violent, you have permission to use whatever force you deem needed. Also, maybe make clear to it that attacking means it will be signing its own death warrant."

"Awww, do I have to tell it? It will ruin the mystique"

[NJW2000]

Well, despite my rather moving speech, nobody appears ready to negotiate rationally on their side. So I for one have no objection to throwing the pills at him and ducking and cowering in a corner.

Wait, did anyone out there even hear what I said? As a great man once said, it's all rather confusing really.

[Radio Controlled]

Well the one from the dam mission was a hotdrop shuttle. It just has the grav-chutes for if and when it is shot down. The drop pods, if you remember, are literally fired from our cannons, so they're quite freaking speedy. But no, once fired you're going. And the survival rates are dependent on a lot of things, but you can't really make a good comparison anyways because we've used the drop pods all of once (twice if you count the heph use of larger ones).

So, drop pods are faster than hotdrop shuttles then, but cannot alter course after being fired, meaning they have their own pro- and cons? Any other points we should be aware of when choosing one or the other?

Hmm well floors tend to lose a bit of meaning in colonies like this with complex 3d patterns, but Like I said, I can guide you around and there will be signs I'm sure. For the most part, think of it like this: Imagine a big bunch of grapes with a fat tube instead of a normal stalk at the center. Each grape would be one of the "Family" pods. A misleading term since they're really more like a small community then a family, but they are generally involved in the farming of food, creation of some substance or other entrance level material creation. What it is will vary by pod. These pods all connect back to the main structure, a sort of vertically oriented industrial, governmental and entertainment complex where all the materials from the family pods are processed into goods, where all the life support and similar functions are handled, and where the residents can go to do something like watch a movie or get drunk enough to forget that they live in a mechanized underground labyrinth under the surface of some shitty rock in the far end of space.
Approximate? Oh maybe 15,000. I don't have exact numbers. They don't keep a census.

Yes, that was helpful, thank you. Though I'm surprised at the very low population in there, for an entire colony. Oh well, we'll see what we get once we're down there.

With the fun and games over with, Yancy goes ahead and buys an exo and a Sibilius, then hits the VR and loads Punch Many Things until mission time.

[HavingPhun]

Ian, hearing something strange on the radio, decides to take a trip by the rec room. He see's the strange monstrosity, decides he is better off just not asking, and precedes to wherever the hell he needs to be when his mission commences, with all his equipment.

Alex follows this guy, since he seems to know where things are.

[spazyak]

(((BACK Also since we get 5 points let's split it up or something, I would like to put 1 point into medical.))
Ok guys I'm back, what are we doing?, I heard something about a b-rate horror movie and such....No attacking the one guy, Don't want to die. Are we going on any missions? In that case I will just help some but stay there mainly for medical needs. Just don't kill me! Promise that I will make sure that the others in here own't destroy anything. I kinda like this body and don't want to destroy it.

[Nikitian]

...What was that?
Whatever. You can go and prepare for the mission if you haven't done so yet. And yes, Han, I will be counting on you. Maurice smiled kindly.

General, do you know what is going on there?

Virrsai Dawa Maal Leeyes, this is your Mission Commander, respond. Are you in any shape to go on a mission? What happened?

[Gentlefish]

Ryan, being in his room looking over medical supplies, hears nothing and does nothing.

Continue waiting for Joker mission briefing.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Lucricia nods silently, gets up, and moves to the armoury, totally ignoring the disturbing noises from the rec room, and requisitions a Monomatic Razor, Aster-Ex with a short range detonator and a belt with three HE grenades and Frag grenades.

[Dutrius]

Kai heads to the armoury and gets some equipment, trying not to think about what's going on elsewhere on the Sword.

[Hapah]

Leave Auron and the Cube under the Watchful Eye of Nyars while I go check on some things.

Go to the Armory, and ask about my tinker idea and the Protectorate suit.
