((Grandeur maybe, but delusions? Simus is mostly good enough to seriously take into account, plus skilled and level-headed enough to earn a place as the Overseer - and have the whole planet assigned to her, with the only immediate superior being Steve. So as long as she fulfills her role well enough to not be replaced, any "delusions" of hers will have a firm rooting in reality, methinks. ;) ))

you would have to court martial xan first because actively tried to murder someone, i only tried to cripple you.))
((And you did so in a way that lead to death. Incompetence at attempted crippling should bump up your sentence.
Also, what murder are you thinking of?))
Yes it did lead to death, my death. Suicide is punishment enough for incompetance.
((Suicide isn't a puinishment at all. If you get a robody, it's a reward.))

Also, that guy was an acceptable murder by Doctor death match standards.

((Oh yeah, him. That. Also, it wasn't a CO and was back when murder was no biggie.))
((Pyros character is no more important than fishman was. we are all expendable and simus can be easily replaced if necessary.))
((Wrong.
A. Fishman was no longer active.
B. He was killed under previous laws which may no longer apply; has anyone checked that the murder-is-fine thing still applies?
C. In addition, he was killed under a sponsored program of killing!
D. Simus was your CO!
In short...your claims are something like if there was an Ancient Rome game, and you just killed the captain of the guard, then argued that the gladiatorial arena justified your killing of him. Only that only covered half the points.))

((And simus put herself in a position to be assaulted by being an insufferable arrogant twat.
((Yes, that's such an excellent defense. "He annoyed me, your honor! I had no choice!"
Especially since the annoyance was A. completely justified and B. agreed with by Steve.))

((Also i may be traitorous but simus is the ones with delusions of grandeur.))
((How, by exercising the rank Steve gave her? And then contacting Steve to confirm his approval?))

((Gonna hop over to this thread real quick, I doubt anyone could not have heard that anyways.))

Upon hearing the disastrous explosion, Miyamoto is wakened from his temporary stupor and jolts into action. Luckily, the awesome strength of synthflesh lets him get there fast (for a multi-ton monster).

"Flint, what the hell happened here?! God darn-it, you'd think we could go a day without something blowing up, but nooooo, everyday something has to explode. Ugh. You go grab Simus, I'll get Auron, he's the heaviest of the two."

Run over to ground zero, rescue the two 'splosion victims. If Flint gets here to, rescue Auron while he does Simus. Once in the infirmary hangar (too big for hallways, I forgot), get him out of his exosuit (will be needed for operations anyway) and deliver him to medical personnel, while saying the following to whoever takes him off my hands:

"I'm not sure what happened, but as far as I know he was discussing things with Simus, and next thing you know there's a big explosion and people are dead. I wanna get to the bottom of this, so once you've fixed him bring him to me, ok? Keep him sedated or restrained until then if you have to. If you're not sure whether you're allowed to do that, check with Steve, he'll back me up."

Then help with the firefighting, either with manip (if I feel like I have the mental reserves for it, if yes bend away oxygen so the fire can't spread) or by grabbing whatever equipment there is in the hangar (I'm assuming a spaceship hangar would have some stuff for that lying around, if not wait for some crewmember to bring in some).


((Note to Paris: I don't think anybody but those two saw what happened (not sure if any witnesses), and since neither can really tell us right now, for all our characters know that explosion was an accident. I mean, it could be a bit meta to assume they'd know Auron was the cause of this. Though Steve might be able to tell us next turn.))

((How is it attempted crippling? It was a successful crippling.))

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

((I'm assuming Steve is going to tell me something. But even if he doesn't, it's not like I'm going to do anything to him next round. I'm just planning to do something to him. Getting my revenge-options cataloged. A dynamic bonus for revenge if you will.))

"Fuck if I know. You'd think things would have quieted down by now." said Flint while scanning the area with his cameyes. "I think there were people out there. I'm going to go check it out. They may need our help." With that, he fired his rockets and headed towards the area.

((You mean stimulus like the internal pressure of the fuel building up because it was shaken until it reached a point where the weakened tank gave out spraying fuek great speed and exposing it to oxygen and scrapyard chemicals?
Or a small crack slowly oozing fuel out which eventually reached a small spot fire, exposed electrical wire or reactive substance?
Or maybe a scrap girder fell on it and caused a puncture?

There are a great many possibilities.

((How would the pressure build up?
Possible.
Possible, but the falling girder would have been quite likely caused by some other person.
In any case, none of these are as likely as some outside agent causing the explosion. Really, to get an explosion an hour after the event, you need a darn contrived series of events, especially since the screwing-up he did tended to be either highly unstable or highly stable (if sometimes fragile).))

((Of course, all the stuff about it being an accident will go out the window once anyone asks Steve.

Anyone else remember that we all have cameras on us, along with quite large storage for the video they pick up? Steve will have seen, or at the very least, can see if he goes over the tapes (which is likely if he wasn't observing there anyways), from both Auron and Simus' perspectives, Auron pulling a gun, aiming at Simus' braincase, and firing, with Simus moving out of the way before the shot and the shot hitting a tank behind her, which then exploded.))
