People seem to get really nervous in shuttles. Maybe Steve should just lace their internal atmosphere with paralytics.
Or Xenospit.

I'd rather appreciate it if you guys don't shoot me.

If you do and I somehow survive, I'll turn the shuttle around and go back to the planet.

M20 Gyromitra: How a virtually complete mission can still be failed on the return trip. Practical Handbook, Volume Two.

Did Volume One (pertaining M19) sell that bad that the ARM needed a sequel?..
But then again, the more people perma-die before the briefing, the more tokens will each of the survivors get!
:P

See U_P's sig for my opinion on this.

"Kids if you do not sit down and shut up so help me I am turning this car around!"

I bet there's a "vent passenger compartment" button in there, just FYI.

All Kyle has is a Red Hand, and you're wearing a Mk II. If he shoots you with the laser you'll barely be harmed, if it even pierces your suit, and you have a Spektr to return fire with. You're only in danger if he thinks to use the Red Hand's lightning instead or somebody unintentionally points out that although the Mk II protects against normal lasers, it won't protect against electrical shock.

Or, he'll shoot himself for trying to start a scuffle. Since he's the only one with actions to start a scuffle, but has a contradictory action targeting such behavior.

It's technically an MCP-II.

Hmm... The MCP series is made of metal right? Wouldn't being completely covered in metal make the suit into a faraday cage, which would insulate the wearer from electrical arcs as long as there is somewhere for the electricity to go?

I think the MCP series is made of metal, anyway. I can't find the relevant information on the wiki or the Tinker thread.

Isn't it a logical conclusion that I would use the lightning button no matter what since that's the main selling point of the weapon? And thus, the main attack?

It only works in atmosphere, so if you blow a hole in the craft, it won't work.

I believe the insulation system of MK suits actually has the unfortunate side effect of directing all electrical current that hits the suit directly into the user, actually making it safer to go into a lightning storm naked rather than go into it wearing a MK suit. And since the MCP suits use a similar insulation system...

It only works in atmosphere, so if you blow a hole in the craft, it won't work.
There is already a hole in the craft from when the AA hit them. They have already lost atmosphere.
However, the shuttle is made at least partially out of metal. And if this thing has power comparable to a Tesla sabre, then touching it to a wall will have unfortunate sideffects for all.

If Piecewise is still on IRC, can someone ask him this? I feel like it'd be faster.

((Are the mental effects of the injection Anita got like drunkenness {slurred words and such} or does it just make her curse a lot and try to come onto people?))

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

Change mind about flushing hand at the last second and simply throw it into my trunk in my room

Change mind about flushing hand at the last second and simply disable it, package it, and mail it to Hephaestus. Add in this note:

Dear Admins: within enclosed is the last sample of Mesk flesh still around. I was wondering if you can use this and a VR overlay of mesk's personality and memories to revive him. Failing that, might I suggest it could be used for biowarfare purposes?

Return to the Armory, once again try to buy tazor, and once again attempt to shock the fuck out of Henk to stop him from enslaving the dude. Resort to more lethal means if this fails.[/b]
How are you going to let Dester out? He's locked in a room, and you don't know the password to get in. If you taze him you'll just risk killing him, which would make it even harder to let Dester out of the room.
Lock my room and spend my turn making more knives and serrated discs, then give ozark tea and vodka....lots of vodka!
I'm picturing an enormous version of one of those water bottles you put in hamster cages, filled entirely with vodka.
