((I'm assuming that we fall out of cryo tubes in our rooms these days, please correct me if I am wrong.))
Robert flops out of the cryo tube into his personal room, coughing up all manner of fluids and shivering despite the climate control.
"...oh god, it feels like I just ran thirty kilometres on my eyebrows..."
He looks up for a moment in confusion.
"...since when does the HMRC issue private quarters?"

Talk to our favourite wetware AI, get cleaned up and dressed, try to set my room ID to 1729 if it's available.

((Is the text colour okay?  Also, I'll be joining the Heph mission when that gets going.  Just give me some forewarning so I can get equipped.))

[Ozarck]

((text works in darkling just fine. Welcome aboard. I'm light years away, but welcome aboard anyway.))

[Xantalos]

"Arbiters and Avatars use the same cloak? Odd, I'd expect them to use some specialized thing but what they have is effective, I suppose."

resting her head in her hands

"Are you alright, Armory Master? I doubt that you are within my capability to assist given my suspicions that you are not fully physiologically human, but if I can help you in any way...? The gap in your memory is certainly disconcerting."

Talkings!

[Dutrius]

Wake up.

Ugh. What happened? Did we succeed back there?

Wait. What happened to my stutter?

Look at self.

Oh. I'm a robot now.

State the obvious. Then get up and wander over to the briefing room.

[Parisbre56]

>It seems they wanted to silence an annoying proponent of ours and also potentially wipe out a group of us as well. The good news is that they're certainly taking us seriously. The bad news is that they're gonna be throwing much worse things at us now. The pleasant days of sods may be long past.

Flint started pacing around, while talking quickly and loudly.
"Grah, that makes sense. Why would they deploy a weapon like that instead of merely bombing the colony? To make us investigate, to ambush us. And possibly to scare others or use it as propaganda. We're lucky they didn't target the Sword when they had the chance."

"Who else knew that we were going there? Could there be a traitor somewhere in your chain of command? Or a worm in our QEC-net? Or did they just get lucky or had someone in the colony talk too much? If that's the case we might need to make our future dealings more covert."

"And how are we doing on the propaganda angle? UWM could say we bombed the colony because we disagreed or something like that. We need to get our side of the story out first. Say how the fucking bastards slaughtered everyone! How there was nobody left! Say that we got the bastards back! Made them pay for what they did! ... We did make them pay, right?"

"And we also need to warn other colonies. Without causing a panic. Tell them we can protect them and take steps to do so. If the UWM has the capacity to deploy that weapon en mass, then entire planets could be in danger, entire armies could be taken out in an instant. We might not be able to protect the smaller colonies fully until we develop a way to negate the effects of whatever they used, but we can protect our more important worlds. We need to get Hephaestus and Q'Baja to build a customs station, some space station close to the jump point that can scan incoming cargo or something. And it needs to be protected against stealth technology. And people sticking on the hull. And-"
Flint tripped on a chair and fell.
Damn lack of depth perception.
He wiped something wet below his nose. When he looked at the metal-covered hand of his MK2, there was blood on it.
Wait. What am I doing here? How did I get here? What am I saying?
"Fuck. I... I think I need to go to the infirmary." Flint said with a hand on his forehead.

More yelling near Steve.

[spazyak]

Sir Jackson would put on the crown and cape and then  sit there and marvel at the glowing tablet thing he just noticed on his wrist, poking it and acting like a child with a new toy when ever something cool happens

[Toaster]

Status check on Lars?  He'd prefer to remain fleshy, if possible.  Missing mission is okay; Toaster thinks there's enough fresh meat that wants in that he wouldn't want to take up a slot.

Also status check on battlesuit.

[tryrar]

Also status check. Is my equipment still good? Do I need to spend money on repairs? I know I have to get my lower body replaced, does that mean my exoskeleton is toast?

[NAV]

Nah, just a camera stuck to the front of my shield.

Now take the Union's supply of scrap metal and build an awesome printing press out of it!

[Moopli]

(that -2 gen knowledge may well cause issues, or so I have been told)

((luckily, that is a deficiency I am keen on trying to RP. It also makes good in-character sense, given his origins. Important question though, given that you're critiquing: do my skill and stat points add up fine (separately ofc)? The rules on the charsheet designer page are a bit inconsistent))


Well. I am clearly somewhere. Probably in one of many identical somewheres, actually, heh. Which implies the stuff here is probably mine to take. Well, with plausible deniability at least.

Search my room for things, particularly for pamphlets, info packages, wall panels that might summon helpers of some sort, and electronics that might have data on them. Also check if there's anything I could use as a walking stick. 

Mutter: "We thank you for choosing our service to facilitate your exit from stasis. Please do enjoy our complimentary propaganda and breath mints. Where are the breath mints? Dammit."

[Wolfkit]

Whistle and walk away nonchalantly(ish).

((@Moopli the thing is, if you put a stat at -2, every time you roll it there is a 1/6 chance of Piecewise murdering you horribly. So... be warned.))

[Parisbre56]

((@Moopli the thing is, if you put a stat at -2, every time you roll it there is a 5/6 chance of Piecewise murdering you horribly. So... be warned.))

((FTFY
With a -2, whenever that stat is concerned, you need to roll 5 every time if you want to survive. Otherwise, bad things happen. And even when you roll a 5, things are still going to be bad, meaning you won't succeed as well as you could, because you only succeeded and survived due to blind luck.

That being said, gen. knowledge is not rolled that frequently. Most recent roll was from Lyra, I think.

Edit: responded here due to stupidity. Please respond in ooc.))

[Hapah]

Status Report! Am I fleshy or robo? If robo, is the skinsuit gone forever?

[Yoink]

Awaken.

Pray to the great Chal-thul that I still remain in my original body and not a mechanical one.

Well...we could keep you in it if you want, but we'd need to keep you in a tank for a while. You'd miss out on the mission that is being set up right now.

Can I go in a robobody but keep my fleshy body in storage for a later date? If so... I think I'll do that.
Install my spare cam-eye somewhere on my robobody (possibly on the tip of my robowang, think of the pornos we can make!) and purchase some enhanced mobility feet if I have enough tokens. All this whilst bemoaning the loss of my body, naturally. Or being unconscious.

If I wouldn't be able to keep my beautiful human body whilst gallivanting around in a robobody, just give the mission a miss and recuperate.

Either way, once I am able, go to the kitchen and check on my pizza.
