...thank you...but.....do you mind if you could....t-teach m-me how to....r-read t-the s-symbols...it's abigail south

[TheBiggerFish]

"....You....Don't know how to read...?  Yes, I could, but I'm not sure I'd be a very good teacher.  Might want to track down something...in...the...VR.....Oh, all right, I'll teach you, I suppose.  Or at the very least find someone who can.



...Nice to meet you, Abigail."

[AbstractTraitorHero]

....paper dosent exist on my planet and most people are too brain dead or insane to read my parent's  never had any time to teach me to read

[TheBiggerFish]

((Paper != only thing reading would be used for.  Etexts, for instance.  Signage.  Eh.))
"...I...Can't even...On behalf of whatever scraps of proper humanity still exist, I apologize for your life."

...i lived on a volcano basically it's why my skins gray and it gave me a deficiency thus faded black and these gray streaks in it but i got lucky i was part of the middle caste so i didn't have to go out as often but most people in the middle caste weren't sane and the surface caste..my brother their charred....m-monstrosities im....probably only sane becuase my parents fix the oxygen purifier for the rich caste so i was treated slightly better...i hope you dident have a bad life before this

I reset the simulation again to the moment the AoP was revealed.

Please help set Simulated Avatar of Peace automanip count. Need information I do not have.

Ask Steve to help me with my simulation, setting the AoP's automanip durability appropriately (estimated I would assume, but he has the best info to make said estimate) for the situation I'm attempting to run.

I then set all my teammates to flee, firing their weapons defensively, and leaving me behind. I remove the slow-motion effect from the simulation (which is still paused), and I save the state of the sim, because I'm probably going to have to reset this several times.

I then take a moment to steady myself, and set the sim to run.
The first turn of my first attempt I'm going to stay cloaked, and wait for it to use its crowdwire. As soon as the crowdwire comes out, I'm going to redirect it (via mass-manip amp), tangling it and making it constrict around the AoP. since the AoP's crowdwire system is attached to it, it should be unable to dodge a tangle of its own crowdwire moving down the line towards it, since at it moves the tangle will move with it.

In case this was missed / forgotten - Lyra is still doing this.

Abigail will grab mycrofts hand and begin pulling him towards the Vr Machine and she will then get in the Vr
hey mike let's go the Vr thing let's get in it maybe there's training we can do together?

[TheBiggerFish]

Mycroft disengages his hand but follows.
Some sort of weapons training program is quickly cued up and practiced in.

Volunteer for the mission.

from Jackson to Dubly

Hey can you help me with the light thing in my sword? I heard it uses a lens and i see we have these little green gem things, I've been wondering if there is some way to use one of them in my sword to see what they do?

[Caellath]

Lock self in room, use Will stim from research incentive to trip balls talk to the alien power source via mechanist gauntlet mediation. Preferably do this via PMs or IRC to be later copy-pasted since if we go via turns this will take several weeks.

[bcneuf]

Volunteer for mission 25. If accepted gather all gear and head to shuttle bay

[piecewise]

Sit in the chapel and pray.  Pray for the safety of all of those out on missions.

Also check in with the AM about getting a statue for Tek in the Chapel.

If not the first, then the second

Well the AM is nowhere to be found, so I guess praying is all you can do.

Missed my action:

Volunteer for mission 25.

Will Steve do some sort of Ic briefing so we know what's IC knowledge and what isn't?.

Does Steve think it's 'safe' for Miya and his synthflesh avatar (and universal manip) to go on that mission, or would that be too much of a gamble? In general, should we avoid taking any kind of origin stuff in there?

Do we get full refunds if we turn in our existing origin tech?

Sure.

No, it's more like a "Don't attract attention" sort of deal. Like Our dear departed Morul's attraction of Timmy with is void suit.

So, is there any reason to have multiple brains for a manip now? Will the brainpoints (assuming one has a good one) be the limiting factor, or more the limited uses? To put it another way, these bad effects, do they happen more quickly when one uses spessmagic in a 'bigger' way (eg heating a cup of tea as opposed to heating a swimming pool) or is it strictly counted in usages?

Five.

We'll get a briefing once we're ready.

eh...safe? Hmm. Well, its a gamble but so long as you don't over use either, you'll probably be fine.

Yeah, bigger is more attention, so having lots of brains isn't as good as it was before, but it might still have uses.

Float around. Swear a lot. Locate cigars for smokin'!

Ya already got one, remember? And gin.

Coolio, I'll volunteer for M25 then. And go throw my stuff back in my room, except the HEP pyramid. Keeping that one with me.

Six.

Stock up for M25.

Firstly, buy 6 sticky goop grenades for 2 tokens.

Secondly, buy 2 electronades for 1 token.

Then check how my lovely red moss sample has been growing in all this time. How's it responding to zero-g conditions?

Wiki.

The red moss has spread across most of your room and is currently dissolving your bed.

It is responding by floating.

wander around and find my union buddies, then use the cans, bolts, lenses, tools and duct tape to make some shitty binoculars.
Members of the union, let's get around and start planning!

I'll just let you get your binos. Wiki.

"Hey. That's a cute pet you've got there. What's their name?"
Dubley says as he pets and scratches the alot.
"We're the only two union member not on a mission. So let's get planning."

Scratch and pet Sir Jackson's Alot. Assuming it's an actual cute fuzzy thing and not made of puke.
Help him make his binoculars actually good and not shitty.

Alot

Abigail will buy 2 cans of medifoam for one token
Huh....weird how did i know that....ah well... I'll need the medicine for myself
Abigail makes sure her suit is on and clutching the medi foam's follows someone to the briefing room

...T-This can't be that dangerous....I'll be fine just need to be awesome and m-maybe...p-people will look up to me........t-t-that.....sounds amazing I'll be the greatest this universe has ever seen I'll-I-I'll make you p-proud...m-mom...d...dad....Adam...i hope he's o-okay....he never was very....smart(Abigail looks deeply worried and troubled as she follows someone to the briefing room)

Wiki

WHAT HE JUST!?....no one has ever....been this blunt...i-i i have to listen to him....but I'm not waiting that long

i...i won't go but i want you to know I'm not waiting till im older i can't wait that long...becuase for each mission i miss there's a chance it's A mission to kill the magister t-that killed m-my....p-parents AND-AND FRAMED ME FOR THERE GOD DAMN MURDER WHEN HE KILLED AND CANNIBALIZED THEIR CORPSES!!(huff) (huff) tell me where to train .....and what's your name...why...our you h-here(she looks really quite furious red faced and her eyes threatening to burst with tears she is trying her best to maintain eye contact)

abigail opts out of mission

Did you opt into it before? Am I down a man?

You realize we REALLY can't simulate this now what with the automanips and such going nuts. If you tried this in real life you might end up summoning something even worse.

eight?



Is that all we're gonna get in terms of volunteers?

[Radio Controlled]

Is that all we're gonna get in terms of volunteers?

This is the most up-to-date volunteer list:

Cthunkan (Harry Baldman)
Lars (Toaster)
Miyamoto de Bergerac (Radio Controlled)
Sir Jackson II (spazyak)
Dubley Steptimus (NAV)
Jason Caldwell (Beirus)
Faith Valentine (IronyOwl)
Ben Neutro (bcneuf)

That's 8 lemmings ready to go.

eh...safe? Hmm. Well, its a gamble but so long as you don't over use either, you'll probably be fine.

Would it help to shut off my manip until I need it? Could we 'insulate' (eg using magic eating pollen) the avatar or manip a bit so it's less noticeable?

Yeah, bigger is more attention, so having lots of brains isn't as good as it was before, but it might still have uses.

Such as? I mean, I might have +4 uncon, but I'm feeling that if I use the very good manip brain to it's limit in one action (aka big usage) that it'll already attract too much attention. Unless the attention only really becomes a problem after the 4th usage?

[Lenglon]

Lyra was in the VR when things went crazy, and hasn't left to become informed (the action is from before it happened and just has taken a long time to run). This sim isn't for actual combat capabilities testing, it's because she is dwelling on what happened during that mission. Someone (steve?) would have to stop her or cancel the sim or something.

Besides, it's VR. The sim was set up before things went crazy, and is based on pre-crazy settings. Since VR amp / manips don't actually use the user's amp / manip or cause effects on the ship, it shouldn't be an issue. right?

Still want to run that action.
