Well, that sucks. I knew I should have sat this one out. Ah, well. New character sheet in a few hours.

Your new character could command a sod team, that'll let you participate in the mission at least. Would you like that?

Yes, please. If Team E getting mangled as well wasn't a mistake, that is.

Oh shit Felix is dead. I liked him. He was competent.

Thank you.

[Xantalos]

Well, it'll take me a bit to become combat-ready after that.

[Caellath]

Agreed. I love when piecewise gets descriptive, though it seems he gets more motivated to write well when the outcome of our decisions turns out horribly. Well, here's hoping the sharkmist infestation actually does something helpful and assists in Milno's rapid recovery.

And I was about to comment our way of assaulting ships should probably be used as part of the propaganda since I doubt any non-sod composed military force would be crazy/daring/stupid enough to accept being shot towards enemy ships in order to board them.

Sounds more like something the UWM would use in their propaganda...

((Wow.  This descriptive writing is why we need to get back to standard missions- this is the area PW shines (and clearly enjoys, given the greatly expanded detail.)

((Indeed.))

Attempt to reform myself into a form better suited for combat than a pile of ooze - something resembling a NuCom Chryssalid, perhaps, but with the brain in the torso?

I can't find original X-COM cryssalids. What did they look like?

First hit on Google Image Search.

The wiki has been updated according to Toaster's list

(( well, strictly speaking, I updated it before I checked the OCC thread, but eh ))

...

I wonder if the pods, so stuffed with medical tech, are capable of regenerating synthflesh? Or at least normal robotic repairs (which would be pretty much everything except the torso).

Also, this is why I signed up for this game in the first place: These wonderful, usually brutal, descriptions. And even a permadeath on the ride up.

[Caellath]

I assume by leaving it on 'g-force protection'.

Steve said the correct option for dead teammates is "Suspend".

Speaking of team names:

1.  Don't forget to put your team letter in your post.
2.  I'm dubbing Team F "Defenders of the Faith."

Crud not going to be able to help with this one.

And Team B is dubbed Wild Weasels. Because what we just did would elicit the same response from a sane person that the WW concept elicited from the E-Warfare pilots assigned to it.

Oh, and if the pod can't make me useful in time but can fix my radio and such, can I get command of any sod team that might have hit the same ship as Team B?

[Pancaek]

Yaaay, I died. Whelp, seems I won't be doing anything any time soon.

Since you're a robot and thus your parts are interchangeable, I'll see if I can get that pod to replace your limbs and send you back out. Or maybe get Skylar to do it since my AUX skill isn't that good. Unless your braincase is damaged too.

I believe the braincase was a-okay. But I somehow doubt the pod has spare pancaek-parts lying around. Still, I appreciate that you're willing to try. You could also just get skylar to just jury-rig a camera on the braincase, seeing as I only really need to see to attack. It would be kinda of amusing to have skylar hust carry around my brain and point a camera at stuff he wants dead.

It replaced my mangled leg, so it does have robot limbs.
