Depends on how nice Steve is feeling. It can kill you, but it usually just causes excruciating pain and/or unconsciousness.

Isn't there someone in the APC with him?

There was supposed to be, but he ditched guard duty.

The driver should be in there.
And no, Faith put Hasala and Lerman on cop lookout. You may have interpreted that as "go sit in the APC", but it wasn't. The cops aren't likely to show up for a few turns, at least, and you were out in the APC, so I was fortifying the diner area. If you hadn't shot everything up, I'd be barricading the back door and taking care of the last few civilians who apparently didn't run.

There was also Konrad, who decided to be on cop lookout as well, but I don't know whether piecewise considers him to be in the APC or not. He didn't roll for him getting shot, though...

I'm pretty sure the driver is either cowering, or he's run off. Watching a sociopathic idiot with a chaingun tear up his own team will do that to you.

FTFY

Also, why isn't this a thing?

Found it:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=106279.msg4098634#msg4098634

I'm assuming you're talking about this: "Your Visor automatically darkens in response to light, so if it doesn't protect you, goggles or welding gear won't."

Welp, this is a matter of semantics.  I thought a visor was something that would fold down on the front of the helmet, much like our faceplates.  We can't-

Actually, Here's precendent (sorry Pyro), ctrl-f "your visor" .  Nick was wearing his helmet when that happened, so the thing that would darken would be the screen, and Piecewise called it a visor.  So yeah, visor == faceplate, but != glass windshield.

He was using weirdvision when that happened (which makes the attempt to use a welding mask to protect his eyes rather silly in hindsight). Using weirdvision with screens just gives you details about the screen, not what the screen is showing. Ergo, he must have not been using his faceplate.

EDIT: Check the previous piecewise post then the one I posted.

Did you all miss this?

(you put the guy with a -1 to will in charge of a mounted machinegun? Is it my birthday?)



I think it's pretty obvious what happened here.

...Are you sure?  I thought he could see through things with weirdvision.  He never said to put his faceplate up, and neither did PW.  As a better argument, he went walking through a radiation field where PW said their suits gave them just enough radiation protection, while scanning with weirdvision.  And PW never said 'are you sure you want to do that?  You'd have to raise your faceplate, and get blasted with radiation.'

And yeah, that was pretty silly.

When using weirdvision, I saw through stuff by ignoring layers of material. If I wanted I could see the bones that made up my hand, but I'd have to ignore the different layers before it, like skin, muscle, that sort of thing.

I don't see why not. It's the same idea.

Sure. Just ignore the helmet layers.

So I followed some links and found an interesting quote:

Deciding it was as much of a good time as any, since he was probably going to leave next, Milno decided to ask one question that could be more delicate. He wondered how she'd react to it.
"Since you are no longer part of the convicts, what do you gain by making things like the G-Shells and selling them to us?"

After waiting for the answer, he shoots.
"...Is there any teammate that died you miss up to this day?"

Ask.
"I'm helping people who need help. Good enough for me." She says. The the second question she glances around the room and responds "Another time, maybe, but not now."
Get the feeling he never did take her up on that.

Ask questions in the ER talk thread for me and my sister to answer.

She doesn't know anything about ER. Should be fun.
