Go to the place where the sender of the message is. If somebody is there, ask if there is any way out of the place. If yes, go that way to check.

If attacked, enter BT, avoid, look for the attacker.

((Oh god, I helped create a monster. Then again, it's just too much fun not to really.

By the way, if you ever find out what your capabilities are exactly, be sure to look into custom-growing equipment for teammates. Like a bug that attaches to a person and pumps 'em full of drugs when needed. Or grow form-fitting chitin-bone-keratin armor with shock-absorbing soft tissue material underneath, add custom features (Claws, specific protection against certain damage types (heat, electric etc.) as needed.
Or hell, go for a whole suit, basically a new organism that lives in symbiosis with its wearer, providing protection/armor, a sort of powered exoskeleton (due to the suit/organism having muscle of itself to support its wearer's strength), mk.II style self-sealing properties and drug injection systems, with added bio-weapons (bonesword, acidsprayer, boneshard launcher, serrated claws, ...) as requested by the buyer (you might be able to ask some tokens for custom-growing equipment of course, then use these tokens to upgrade your capabilities).
And if done right, it may be able to self-repair too. The suit, in turn, interfaces with and is slaved to the wearer's nervous system and gains nourishment from either the user or internally stored biomass reserves.

And while we're at it, maybe try to grow a large battlesuit-style organism that is controlled by a pilot and has all of the above, coupled with whatever else you want to add (think pilotable Carnifex or Hive Tyrant (or go for a Hierophant if you're feeling silly).

Or, to think smaller again, weapons that create their own ammo as long as they're kept fed, like that boneshard launcher or maggot cannon from before, but without it integrated with a suit. Or hell, if you can bio-engineer virii then you can become a second Doc and create specific gene treatments to transform peeps into weird horrorspawns with abilities as you like it. Or just give people increased physical perfection and free gene therapies, whatever really.

Oh, and if GWG one day figures out how his pill machine works, and the effects are combinable with your stuff, then the options grow even more expansive. Think bio-computer hybrids, organisms that have AoW-like skin, whatever you can think of.

Really, the more I think about it, the more I realize the awesome possibilities are truly

endless...



(I'm starting to think PW, if he read all these rants, will be nerfing your powers greatly to keep game balance, otherwise we'll have an army of monsters runnin' round without the usual Doc Highlander-style thinning occurring).

And yes, I know all of this is very implausible from a hard sci-fi standpoint, but really, seeing how Xan's powers are already ridiculous and impossible to begin with, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief if it lets me experiment and think of new and creative xenohorrors.

... Dammit, it happened again!))


((@ Ironyowl: you are with Jim's team, in this thread, and you're hunting for an Amp specialist (think X-men Professor X with amps). Read here for more info and correct thread.))
((I do think I might be limited in that regard since my brain is necessary for the shapeshifting process. So I might be able to be a suit of armor for somebody, but probably not grow one.))

((But even if your brain is needed for the shapeshifting itself, once the process is done your input shouldn't be needed anymore, should it? The armor for example: you grow it as a part of yourself, once finished detach it and have it be a separate entity. The 'suit' idea banks on whether or not you can create separate individuals: if yes, you just construct a limited organism that requires input from a 'pilot', if no then you won't be becoming the new Tyranids anytime soon I'm afraid.

But really, we'll just have to wait and see what you can do before speculating either way, so as soon as this mission is finished you can start experimenting. Just keep these possibilities in mind, you never know right?))

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

"well, if the ship is rising, I could perhaps find the controls to the thrusters and laser that too, but too bad I don't know where it is, or perhaps we could just destroy some of the thrusters? Enough to let us go back down to not blow shit up?"
Edit: you have all done this, now my characters solution to any problem would be unload all his ordinance until it stops being a problem, and that's not a good idea.

"The Reinforcements have arrived!"
There is an unusually large man standing there, wearing a mk1 suit and longcoat, holding a laser rifle in one hand.
Follow the first person I see. Look for bad guys to shoot.
Look for someone who is actually doing something.

((You might want to link up with bishop and Leo, or another group that is already down in that maze of passageways (Steve can direct you). Because most people outside the ship aren't moving right now, so following could result in not moving at all.))

"I am so mad right now, I don't even know how to express myself."
"I do, allow me for a moment"
"Wha-"

Pan stand up, and shifts his gaze to Trendon. His featureless metal head twitching violently as he speaks

"Welcome to the HMRC cooking show. Today, we're preparing a psychopathic metal space wizard. Don't get too close now, for he's SIMMERING WITH RAGE"

He stands there, clenching and unclenching his fists, making really overacted heavy breathing noises.

"Just so you know, I am making these noises so you understand that I am very angry, as I don't actually have lungs anymore."

"Don't just hijack my body!"
"I, for one, find this directness an improvement"

I think we had someone make that complaint of someone else. Mostly a joke :P
I find this to be far more readable. I like most of the glows, actually XD
You can also combine them with some other effects, if yellow on black is not to your liking.
Let's see... How about this? OH GODS, I TOOK THE SQUARE OF YELLOW AND MADE IT WORSE ))
