As you walk out of shower and undress you can see that there are patches of a blue rubbery substance covering the holes in the suit.

Leaving the damaged suit on the ground you see to your own wounds.

After half an hour of dig around you have managed to extract most of the bullets,  but two of them are stuck deeper inside you.
A pinkish jelly weeps from the holes as you remove the bullets.

You try to glue your cheek back together, from a distance it fine but closer up there is a thin scar like line.

With your health taken care of you ask zarkauer if he can change to a form that is easier to hide.
He warps the gauntlet in to a large gold bracelet with silver runes then changes it it to a large spiked steel gauntlet with claw tipped fingers.
As it transforms in to a thin bead bracelet and five rings you tell him to keep it in that form for now.

When you ask him if he can take control of the suit he says that he cant control it due to its lack of muscles.
he does say that if you let him he will control your body or parts of it to help you fight.

As the suit slowing repairs it self, you study the available symbiont's looking to improving your mobility.
" Suggestion A: Rebuild body to lighten mass and incorporate aerofoil membranes
projected  glide ratio 6.5   at the cost of approx 50% lower physical resiliency.
you look the other symbite available aswell. 

Spoiler: symbite list (click to show/hide)

Ocular system upgrade?
Respiratory system enhancement?
Cardiovascular system enhancement?
Endoskeleton reinforcement?
Symbite Reproductive?

In light of currant time limits and projected nutrient levels host is advised to limit it self to 2 changes.

Other than that you have heard of some kind of meeting taking place some where in the city, and you plan to chase up leads on it location.

What's symbite reproductive?

No to gliding & reduced resiliency.

[Origami_Psycho]

What's symbite reproductive?

+1, to both.  Also what does the cardiovascular and respiratory ones do?  Because if they're linked then that really ought ot be mentioned.  Or count as one upgrade.
Maybe it allows us to seduce our targets.

Regardless my vote is currently for endoskeleton and cardiovascular.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

I suspect cardiovascular is running, respiratory is toxic fumes.
Yeah, that and the muscle mass/endoskeleton upgrades reminded me of necessary secondary powers.

yeah, also without one we might wind up destroying the other.  We don't want to shred our tibia because we punched too hard.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Well we do have that exoskeleton now, I think..

[Funk]

What's symbite reproductive?

The necessarily body changes to produce symbites of a chosen function.   
don't worry about Required Secondary Powers to much, not having them will just lower how far you can push your body.
and no everything is a separate system unless the text says different.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

So does reproductive symbiote make mini-mes?

[Funk]

So does reproductive symbiote make mini-mes?

nope, it let you make more symbiotes.
the only way to get a mini you is the plan old normal pregnancy way, taking 9 months. 

[Origami_Psycho]

I say reproductive and endoskeleton.  Because maybe we're taking our brand of justice to the prison, and if we are then we're gonna a)have some time to make symbiotes, and b)need to be tough.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

I dunno- I think cardiovascular would be the better option- we've already got toughness covered by the whole 'pink-rubber armor plates' bit. Cardio would be some useful diversity.
Repro because wildcard.

Good point.  Let's invest in skeleton next time.

We spent the next night asking people about the meeting, still on our third friend we got lucky...
 --------------------------
You can feel the changes taking place inside, your pulse fades away as you lie awake at night.
Panicking you try to move only to find your body paralyzed,then it starts the slowing rising feeling of pressure building up inside your veins.
Looking build at you arms you can see you veins bulging with the pressure, you lie there feeling like your veins are about to exploded at any moment.

Then with a low hiss, your body returns to "normal" a glance to your hud shows BP 105mmHg.

Staggering to the bathroom for a drink, you cough and splutter over the sink until something fly out of your throat.
You look down to find a little pale white leach like thing , as it spasms around in the bowl you can make out a few wires under its translucent flesh.

You stare at it a mix of disgust and wounder until it stops moving 30mins later.
========
later
You stand on a hill looking at the meeting place, a country pub/carvery with surrounding woodlands. 

now how did you get there?
walk from the bus stop?
take the van or the car?

[GrizzlyAdamz]

I am still ignorant of what these symbionts do. Could you provide us with an example of their uses?
What's our inventory/who's around? Is this a good 'meeting" or a bad "meeting"?
