Aren't you using your amp?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Dex is so that you have a go before Faith does.

[Pancaek]

Oh, right, I forgot that dex defines move order there for a second. Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with my amp.

Knock her over, levitate her, heatblade arms or legs. Lot's of options really.

I realize that, but Faith really isn't our problem here. I mean, she is right now, obviously. But it's miss hug-n-bodysnatch that we need to nuke out of existence somehow.

Indeed, but it seems she needs physical contact to jump hosts. Keep Faith contained, and that should give you guys some breathing room to figure out a plan.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Best option is to at least temporarily remove Faith. The club allows her ranged attack, so just lifting and holding her off the ground won't do. Disarming or attacking in non-permanently-lethal way is hard, so easiest solution is just accelerate. Straight up. With any luck, by the time she's back down you can regroup, and she'd suffer enough structural damage on landing to not be as threatening.

As for the bodysnatcher, if the jumping is voluntary then you'll just have to somehow contain Faith. If it's involuntary... well, you could try tossing a cat at her, for instance, and see what happens.

Remember the whole building has that blackness covering it. Pan could only launch her against the ceiling.

[kj1225]

Remember that her club is stuck to her.

[yobbo]

I like this "throw her at the ceiling" plan.

And if the ceiling doesn't break, there's a chance the whole tank of goop i'm going to try to use on her will stick her there.


EDIT so as not to double-post:

Is it the club arm that's pinned? I'm kinda assuming it's the other one out of general pessimism.

If there's a chance of some sort of dual action, like "if faith is being gooped, help with the gooping by sticking her to the ceiling, otherwise smash her upwards with as much force as possible" then that might be the best thing to do?

Having faith all gooped up and stuck somewhere would let us take our time to figure out how to get the bodysnatcher out. I have a spray bottle of de-gooper, so with Faith pinned we can degoop a small patch of skin and try a force-transfer to a hostage or something.

The thing in the basement (with two pretty mean guards) could well be what's giving all these cultists their powers, maybe disabling it would auto-eject miss bodystealer. Maybe not. Morul's looking to be in quite a lot of danger tho…

Really this mission is looking to be in pretty damn bad shape with half the team dead or maimed, one vet missing legs, another in a bad-looking fight, and the strongest one the newest cult inductee.

But if we save Faith and Morul, and someone carries Pancaek around (pfft, don't need legs to use an amp), and then everyone sticks together, we could still clear the building.

I mean, even if we give up and demolish the entire place, it still wouldn't get whatever's in the basement. That's part of what makes me think the cult controller's down there. But then a power source for the building's shield also seems likely.

Ah, the advantages of being half-robot and a high Handiwork level.

[Yoink]

Now you've really jinxed yourself.

Hope you're ready to make toast!


Anyway, important thing to note- it seems as if physical contact, or at least brief physical contact, isn't enough to force a transfer.

[Yoink]

Holy crumbs, I just noticed that I originally wrote three young sisters in the backstory for my DMR character.
WHAT HAPPENED TO SISTER #3?!?! HAS SHE BEEN ABANDONED, LEFT TO SCRAPE OUT A LIVING ON THE STREETS?! IS SHE LIVING IN SIN WITHOUT TSAFI'S STRONG BROTHERLY GUIDANCE!? HAS SHE STOLEN MY CREDIT CARD AND GONE TO THE NEAREST SHOPPING MALL TO BANKRUPT ME BINGING ON ICE CREAM AND SHOES?!?

* Yoink wails loudly and flaps his arms in a panic.

[yobbo]

Hmm, sounds like that goop isn't going to contain Faith.

Looks like the only weapons we have that even have a chance of damaging her are Lerman's electrolaser and the machine gun on the APC?

And some sort of amp magic. Like umm freezing her solid or something?

Yeah i'm outta ideas.

(other than "BURN EVERYTHING WITH NAMITE" of course)
