Ever seen the movie with the astronauts and the killer moon rocks? Mission 18 reminded me of that.

HEY I BETTER NOT BE RIGHT because that means my intuition check was ACTUALLY RIGHT GODDAMNIT. In which case though I'm ready to punch them.

Lights on the horizon! Quick, everyone, fire at will before we find out anything about them! Fire now!

They won't be friendly soon in any case.

Anybody wants to bet how long before this turns into an incident? I say a week.

But it will be a diplomatic victory for the other mission(17). One of our cards on the table will be: BTW, we're going to nuke an opposing realm for you. Aren't we nice?

Hopefully the two kingdoms aren't allies or anything.

Gah... upgrading my character is so expensive... every time i wanna add a new weapon i either have to ditch my current one or buy another 5-10 token hardpoint...

I cant even kill Xan and visit the doc for an upgrade because hes on haphaestus and id lose 30+ tokens worth of purchased gear...

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

He's back on the Sword now, as I recall. Came in with the last shipment full of shiny new laser toys and suits that have been almost entirely ignored.

Though I'm fairly sure he gave us another clone...

Yeah, I did. I'd ask to revive that one too, but it seems a little unfair to have two iterations of the same character running around.

Missed out on the suits. Are they mk1 or 2 modified? What's the price on them?

I tend just to read the threads my character is involved in, otherwise too much OOC planning comes into play. I felt bad grabbing a death-laser considering my character's current over-arsenal. But if he survives mission 18, he really wants a suit.

I'm still against handing out super-powers like candy. It removes any idea of character progression. But whatever, it ain't my game.

I've actually got a theory. The more free stuff your character gets given, but either doesn't use or uses poorly, the more likely that your character will get paid poorly or die. Similarly, the more off-the-standard-books stuff your character has, thus making ER a paperwork and game-mechanics nightmare for pw, the more likely bad things are to happen to you. Charge a Con roll as an action? Yeah, right, whatever. That roll might be more likely to work, except for the fact that you just caused more pointless note-keeping, so something worse will now happen to you shortly. Possibly everyone else around you as well, depending on pw's mood.

That's how I'd do it anyway.....

Right, most of my character is done, but I doubt 'Johnson' is a good first name.
Any suggestions?
