Probably some longstanding character is gonna take it deep.

Kinda regretting the whole Tea Candy incident as it stopped me going on a real mission.

[HavingPhun]

Now, I can't really check the wiki for this because of my terrible internet. But, are there many powerful amp users in the room that are not severely injured? I doubt it would be this easy, but what if all the amp users just work in unison and freeze it solid. Then, someone just smashes it, as it would probably be very brittle at low temperatures.

All I am thinking is that if it can somehow be killed, while still keeping the room and colony intact, and people alive. There would probably be some serious research value in whatever is found within the crate and elsewhere.

A nuke in an enclosed space might be rather more difficult to contain, as well.


I'm going to go with Airblast, but also arming the nuke and and letting Miya have the code.  That said, if Lars is dead/too injured, nuking is out anyway.

[HavingPhun]

Well, if no one contains it, the sword can just glass the planet from orbit right? 

[Doomblade187]

Toaster, I would rewrite the Lyra action, as right now it could be interpreted as not immobilizing the target, in my opinion.

[Parisbre56]

Could change it to "while staying concealed and invisible, levitate the enemy and the area around it and if I hit him, then try to hold him still." because if it moves quickly, she will miss. AoE attacks are more likely to hit, even though they will probably allow it to continue firing shockwaves. But at that point all you need is for someone to get a good hit in its chest or at least on its weapon. You don't need to penetrate his armour to help, you can just limit its offensive capabilities. There's also a chance it will try to use its grav amp to counteract the effects of her mass amp, so he probably won't stay there forever, but the momentary stumble might be enough to allow for a few good shots.

EDIT: Maybe also add a clause to relocate and keep moving, because even if the AoP doesn't see her and assumes one of the others in the group is using space magic, it might try to spam the area around the elevator.

I wonder how the Arbiter survived the melting pulse things. Do they have any fleshy bits inside?

[swordsmith04]

They're completely mechanical. Even their brain. (They're the most advanced non-organic AI humanity has.)

[Hapah]

Oh boy.

[Parisbre56]

It and its weapon is actually made by the Doc. The Doc copied an organic brain into it, an organic brain of someone he knew. Or of himself.
Which is why my action involves asking Steve about it in a roundabout way, since I have no IC knowledge of it. The Doc might have a way to shut them down or know of some sort of weakness or maybe even some words that would elicit some kind of response from them. He seems like the man paranoid enough to make a failsafe.

[Toaster]

Good call on the action; edited accordingly.

Oh, THAT solution. Yeah, there is no way your character should be able to ask the right question.

Now, Brother Lars, on the other hand.......

[Pancaek]

Ok, you guys are gonna have to start telling me how far or how close you're getting to any of these frozen people. In feet, meters, whatever.

This is what we call a "bad sign" or "red flag" or whatever other term you want to use.

[Toaster]

Now, Brother Lars, on the other hand.......

Lars hasn't plumbed the depths of his mind, though, so not everything that he "knows" is known.

[Caellath]

"Hero Killer". Lars might want to become an Avatar of Steve, as that might actually improve his survival rates since otherwise the AoP will see him as the most dangerous target and in the next moment Brother Lars is no more. To be honest, I'm not sure. I'm just glad I'm not there.

Either that or the less-experienced people accept that role and the brain/physical damage with chances at perma-death for a shot at being a hero.
