I guess I was pretty wise losing points from fate to max out endurance then?

[Parisbre56]

One can sometimes be confident that they can avoid enemy fire long enough to not need endurance.
Once can never be confident that they can avoid friendly fire long enough to not need endurance.

I plan to just stay behind everyone else. i will probably be the team killer, not the team killed. Who wants to be mah meaty meat shields!

Let me give you a cautionary tale from the AM:

Onrath, The coward, who tried to get through 10 missions by just staying back and hiding. He made it through 8 before someone on his team shot him.

[Toaster]

Upon reflection of that quote, it never says if the shot was intentional.

Nah, you are just a bullet sponge for people with higher fate around you.

bad thongs

A mind wedgie?

I'll help, I just made this character to be a supporter. I am not meant to tank and take the brunt of the attack. I stay back and heal while also acting like a sniper, sending debris at the enemy along with explosives.

And I'll make sure nobody gets distracted by all that unendurable agony that was only ever going to happen to one person.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Part of Mesk's charred remains were there. A beetle-medicbot was there. Your synthflesh encased braincase was there. So there is a chance that the pyramid is there, since it's alien tech meant to handle high energy that was partially protected by your forcefield.

Don't know if it's worth it though. Maybe Sean can offer a reward...

If allowed to, Anton will offer the reward of a prototype High Energy Assault Suit, with twin integrated PEWs and distributed cooling system, for locating the HEP pyramid artifact and returning it to Heph for further study.

It may have been already studied by R&D, and we already have the HEP as a result of it, but Anton wants to study the underlying physics in more depth, and having the original device instead of just the recreation is bound to be at least of some help.
(though it's probably worth noting that Anton himself is going to stay away from the thing as much as possible, heh. )

Or Jason could keep it and have an exo weapon again. 

Still need to find it first though.

[Pancaek]

just try to play it safe. Ask Steve if he can remote control the recovery ship back to the sword. I'd hate for our four permadeaths to be listed at "we can't remember where we put the brains"

[Parisbre56]

You're already in the ship and in a stasis pod. As long as you don't get really unlucky you should be fine, even if your rescuer dies. Unless he accidentally shoots you.

[Empiricist]

I don't suppose Team Gyromitra has any way to fire conventional weapons out of the shuttle without decompressing and sending everyone flying out? Perhaps in future, we ought to invest in point-defense systems for them.

surely there would be some rope and duct tape with you.

[Toaster]

Seems like incorporating a laser weapon onto the shuttle would be the cheaper and more effective option.  Even a simple rotating top turret would give some options for self defense.

That could work quite well for point-defense.

Rope may do the trick if there's something to anchor themselves to. Though that requires Handiwork, so even if there are a few people with it, it may take too much time. Duct tape probably isn't strong enough.

Still at this rate, the Haebi won't even need to hit the ship, they just need to force enough amp or manipulator usage for an overload to occur.

[NJW2000]

Handiwork! I could help! That's what I put points into rather than weapon skills!
