Are you planning to do a final wiki gnome payout before the mission starts?
Also, what kind of properties does hard light have? Or can one choose its properties to a degree? Talking things like density, opaqueness, strength, flexibility, conductivity, ...
And is there a limit to how much hardlight stuff there can be 'in existence' at one? Could I extend the range that hardlight constructs can exist by opening pocket dimension portals and thereby connecting parts of realspace close to the hardlight generator?
Finally, could something like, for example, a big crossbow be made using multiple hardlight materials with different properties?
I honestly can't really think of anything interesting that you don't already have. I mean I could give you a bonus to aiming or something but thats boring.
And if the pill was ingested by a newbie instead, would that change things?
Thats a good idea.
I'm pretty sure I gave these several times before but it's pretty light (har har) and has the general properties of steel in terms of strength. No, you can't change the properties, you just generate objects using that material.
The only limit is the physical limit of how much can occupy the area near the generator and how much your rolls let you make.
No, because you can't change the properties. But there's no reason you couldn't just create a hardlight ballista bolt already in flight. Assuming your target is close enough.
I dunno. The fact that it's the CPU rather than any of the other parts is whats stumping me. Everything I can think of doing with it is either boring or has no real gameplay effect.
Xan motions to Abigail.
"Are you capable in combat at all? Prepare yourself, then follow me."
Go with Abigail to the Deep Infirmary - PMs once more if that's alright.
"I've used amps but those aren't safe anymore and I've never held a gun."
Abigail follows
Both of you go.
Henry wanders off towards where he assumes is a large group of people, if he can't find anyone, he keeps looking
I assume this is in the rec room.
"Hmm. Might as well get all the help I can."
So, from what I've seen and heard, I believe you are the chaplain for this ship, correct? If it wouldn't trouble you, could you meet me in the Pantheon? I would like to pray, but am unsure of the proper way for these gods. Thank you.
Go to the Pantheon. Look around. Pray to any god(s) that may be helpful. If any offerings are needed, get them, as long as they cost no tokens.
You pray to every god that looks important, as well as any of them carrying guns. You don't know much about any of this stuff but stacking the deck with important and dangerous gods is probably your best bet.
Belatedly track down everyone who placed an order for pizza during the last mission and distribute their pizza.
Suggest the use of a microwave if it's unpleasantly cold.
Pizza list: "Well then, here we are. Forgive me, Whig my dear, but you'll have to lay low for a moment."
Conceal my gauss rifle beneath my coat. If Nancy is still following me, have her wait in a nearby alley or sidestreet or something, so long as she's out of sight. Then, approach the pizza place PPPP, push the doors open and approach the counter as casually and non-threateningly as possible. Leave my emoticon turned off, so as not to spoil my brilliant disguise.
Order the following:
Three margherita pizzas with plenty of cheese and sauce,
One deep-crust Starvation Diet with the Emergency Rationing Sauce and Poverty Crisis side dish,
One undefined pizza with plenty of dead stuff on it,
One deep dish pizza with a variety of meat seasoned with a liberal amount of pepper,
One extra pizza, whatever kind is most popular locally,
Four large bottles of soda (preferably Mountain Dew), a chocolate cake and a couple of loaves of garlic bread for the newbie teams.
Firestorm Team
"Firestorm 2 here. Get me a deep-crust Starvation Diet with an Emergency Rationing sauce and a Poverty Crisis side, will ya?"
Firestorm Team
"Something with meat on it. I don't care what it is, just meat. Pizza without meat is just... no. I would hit you for that."
Firestorm Team
Blizzard 2 here, I'll have a whole deep dish if they make those. Fill it with whatever meat is available. Surprise me. Yes, I know that the flesh is weak. Just make up the difference with liberal application of pepper.
After that's done, take one of the leftover pizzas to the shrine room and begin to build a shrine to Chal-thul, the pizza demon.
Leave the others in the rec room, on a table. Announce that there is pizza for the taking.
Edit: Oh, and leer menacingly at any rookies in the rec room as I pass through. Blast some static-y gibberish through my faceplate.
Let loose a mad cackle before slinging a slice of pizza at their face.
You indulge in various pizza related hijinks, as has been your wont for quite a while now. But this time you actually have the pizzas to back it up and you're not simply relying on hallucinatory pies.
More questions for Steve:
"So... When you say destroy the universe... Do you mean the entire universe? With everything in it? All the stars all the galaxies, all turned to dust?"
>Technically we'll be reducing it to a soup of uncombined basic atomic particles which will then, over the course of an extremely long period of time, reform into a new universe. Probably. Or it might just remain that protoplasmic universe soup forever. Go to the workshop and smith my scrap metal into some throwing darts.
Head back to the safety of my room, taking care to avoid the rec room, and prepare for some heavy-duty magic shit.
Cut my thumb, and get a tiny bit of blood on a sheet of paper.
Then draw the following on the paper:
Action node: Levitate: Dain Yesed Baklim Neshir Jungdine
Parameter node: Location of Focus
Parameter node: Xan's mind (Xan refering to my character in particular, but with room for hilarity with Xan's Xan)
Agent node: Darts: Chotar Chotar
10 + 2 + 3 = 15
15 / 5 = 3
15 - 3 = 12
Charge for exactly 12 hours.
Pile the darts on top of the paper, and activate.
Get another sheet, get blood on it again.
Draw the following on it:
Action node: Launch: Dain Essu Bazalcam Basklim Galim Qulith Jungdine
Parameter Node: Forward
Parameter Node: Activating Thought
Parameter Node: Xan's Mind
Agent node: Darts: Chotar Chotar
14 + 2 + 6 = 22
22 / 4 = 5.5
22 - 5.5 = 16.5, rounded up to 17
Charge for exactly 12 hours.
Again pile the same darts on top of the paper, and activate.
The end goal of all this should be to end up with Homing Soulmass, but sharp and made of metal. Homing Dartmass.
Gonna let you have it.
Name: Fred Munroe
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Physical Description: About 5'8. Slight, but wiry, with short, neat brown hair and bronze wireframe glasses. Wears a old-fashioned labcoat with an old t-shirt, jeans, and combat boots.
Personal Information: Drafted into the UWM military out of college. Went to med school, so trained as a medic. Picked up a bit of gun skills, especially sniping. Has seen some serious shit, but prefers not to talk about it. Makes excellent nachos.
Reason assigned to HMRC: Wound up in HMRC after he punched out an officer that tried to perv on his girlfriend and was subsequently convicted of insubordination, treason, and treasonous insubordination. Of course, seeing as he wound up in the HMRC, that girlfriend has been dead for a couple hundred years, along with all his other friends. So he joined ARM, because what does he have to lose.
