Remind you guys of anything?

[Yoink]

A mission where we must shrink ourselves into a mini sub and journey into the body of an HMRC member to recover a nano artifact.

And all the cells/organs/employees of the body are played by said HMRC member in various costumes, right?

Damn darpa, stealing my ideas again.

Even better, you have to go inside the Doctor because he accidenctally ate something we need.

I feel like you just want to go in there to see if you can find the clone that still has your powers.

While I admit that is a good portion of my motivation, the most part of it is just that I find the notion of people dying to alien horrors funny.

Is it a terrible idea to use small amounts of aster-ex for digging?  Would that even work?

I'd think we might want to try other, probably safer digging methods first before blowing shit up, fun as that is.

[Dorsidwarf]

What we need is some sort of superbonding glue, for aiding in emergency extractions.

Just slap the pack on your mortally wounded comrade, wait ten seconds for the glue to set, then hit the button and watch them be launched into the stratosphere via rocket pod, to drift down parachute a few hundred miles away from the danger. Or, if you're feeling heroic, intercepted mid-air via the pickup shuttle.

What? Aster-Ex is perfectly safe asteroid mining explosive!

PW just let me know it's half weight, not 10%, which makes it much more reasonable.  I'd be fine treating it like that.

odd, I had it on a higher setting than that. something must have scaled it back.

Devastator got confused by the "half the weight of a robot cat isn't feather weight" line, I think.

03:52:37 <Devastator> You want I should just drop the 'Lyra should be slow like balloon' bit?
03:53:24 <Piecewise> Softball
03:53:36 <Piecewise> She doesn't weigh 2 lbs
03:54:15 <Piecewise> half the weight of a robot cat isn't feather weight
03:55:28 <IronyOwl> How'd she reduce her weight again? Deathcube?
03:55:39 <Toaster> Yep

[Unholy_Pariah]

What stats did sh get from that again? +dex -end?

If the deahcube stripped her molecular makeup of half its higgs-boson particles thereby reducing her mass but leaving all the atoms in place shouldnt that also make her contextually stronger?

I mean she has the same amount and density of musculature, but now it weighs next to nothing and is easier to exert force with.

A fleck of paint can punch through glass if its going fast enough after all, and they weigh three parts of diddly squat.

As said before, any possible gain in power of a strike is limited by lack of leverage. It is important to stand firm on your grounds (have big inertia, if you will) in order to make a really good hit.

[Unholy_Pariah]

So an awkward strike should throw her off balance,
but if she managed to line up a strike with her entire body bracing behind it she could do a fair amount of damage.
