I'd just like to point out to the Cthunkan players, but that body is ridiculous. It has at least +1 in every stat, and +2 in Dex and End. It would ordinarily take 11 missions to get the stat profile that body has. And I highly doubt those stats will translate *out* of that body in any way you'll appreciate. :P

It's also the most incredibly goddamn annoying thing to play, so screw the stats if that's the way it has to be.

Besides, stats as a whole seem to be more mental than anything, as evidenced by people keeping them when moving to robobodies. Shouldn't be any different here unless PW wills it, and I'd be perfectly okay with it, since the intended benefit here is something else.

@Mission 21: And that's why you should do the "rope tied around a rock" and "throw a drone and let it come home" test first, like Flint did with the black domes during the AP mission. Let's hope you aren't trapped in there forever...

unless PW wills it

I feel PW has adequately demonstrated that his will is that you figure out how to roleplay the 4-headed giant or roll a new character :P

It's very easy to roleplay. It's not worth bothering with on the bullshit-to-action front, though. There's only so much "you can't get ye flask" from PW I can take.

And if piecewise says no, I do have a character ready. But I'm not going to give up on the whole thing just yet.

I just realized - the way the anomaly works, if you send them up the bomb, the anomaly will contain it, utterly destroying everything inside because it's, well, a contained nuclear explosion.

We can always try the ARM anomaly checklist on the dome.

1) Throw things at it
2) Shoot it
3) Apply heavy ordinance
4) Ask it nicely
5) Plead with it
6) Attempt to locate source of anomaly and repeat

Pancaek might want to try to levitate the subject somewhere other than "toward us.". Like at a ninety degree angle. The idea is to get the person away from the group or the source of the anomaly, not to drag a potential infection carrier directly into a mass of potentially infectable people

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Come on, marines, do you plan to live forever?  :P

Anyway, either Piecewise is screwing with us, or the barrier isn't physical, it's mental. The snow level is apparently same at both sides of the boundary, and that is very much impossible with physical one-way barrier if there is even a tiny bit of wind (i.e. snowflakes falling not directly down and even slightly sideways). ((Or he could have screwed that detail up Blasphemy!, or the barrier is somehow permeable to snow, of course. ))

Edit: Not to mention that a one-way physical barrier would be a sort of a Maxwell's demon: letting all air in, but not out, it would result in noticeably denser and hotter atmosphere inside the dome, at least after a few years that have passed since the anomaly sprung up.
And finally, we have Morul's suit. I don't want to test it yet, but it could possibly be our ticket out, even if we cannot do anything to the anomaly - and we almost certainly will do something to it.
