Anyways, Hey, Heph people. Do you guys all have any particular day when most of you are free? Saturday or sunday maybe? In general I mean, not this particular week.

I've been thinking that the best way to do Heph would be to use it for testing things, examining artifacts and the like, while doing the designing over IRC on one day a week. That way people on Heph get more done and they can play a game rather then typing out text walls that drain my life force.

Well, I'm usually available whenever I'm online and not asleep, which is everyday and for fairly long periods. I'm logged into the IRC channel whenever I'm online, so I'll participate whenever I am physically capable. There is no preferred time otherwise, so anywhere between 10 AM and midnight @GMT+3 I should be available.

Speaking of things that need discussing, we still haven't decided on what ships our shipyard was making all this time, and haven't ascertained and finalized the design of the two new ship classes.

Would a synthflesh bear model work?

[Unholy_Pariah]

Its synth-flesh it works for anything with musculature.

Also this is a canine body i found on the wiki but it should give you an idea of just how imposing a synthbear would be.

Hound
An enormous, completely hairless, albino canine, 6 foot at the shoulder, 11 feet long and incredibly muscled. It's head resembles a giant canine, with small, almost round ears like satellite dishes. It doesn't appear to have cheeks, instead it resembles a skull, stripped of all extraneous flesh and leaving only the muscle and bone with a thin sheet of white skin over it. It's nose is almost snakelike, just 4 slits set into the tip of the face, backed by seven independently moving eyes, all arrayed in a crescent, from a single central one and out to the side of the head. It's teeth are clearly metal, polished and so sharp that air hisses over them as the creature exhales. It's body looks mostly canine, though lacking a tail, and it's paws look distinctly odd. They look more like human hands, though larger, with thicker, flatter, and more numerous fingers. Each finger ends in a claw. It's front and back paws look roughly identical.

Most of those things we can do, but there are two that are sticking points: The bullet time and the weird sense. Bullet time is a doctor thing and requires the loss of most of your brain, a good chunk of your personality and results in eventual destruction of the remaining brain tissue when used over time.

What I'm taking away from this is that each and every one of the Doctor's upgrades may be deliberately designed to fuck you over in the long run, and that maybe the soul thing is just a distraction.

[Toaster]

I'm sure the Doctor has our best interests at heart.



Also, I just figured out the M16-18 theme; avoidance of combat.  M16 wants a clean getaway, M17 wanted to not shoot up the delegation, and M18 suffered losses whenever it killed the Eater, and clearly shooting Big Momma will do jack squat.

M16 wants a clean getaway

Hehe

[Toaster]

So much for that plan!

What happened to the two in the apartment?

[Harry Baldman]

I'm very much anticipating the M18 turn. The fate of the useless desert and its useless people is at stake!

[Kriellya]

I worry that we're just dead, but PW is usually more explicit when that happens... Usually.

Also, HEY DICE? ARE YOU OUT OF 6's YET?

[Toaster]

We need more Xan to soak up all those overshoots.

Also, HEY DICE? ARE YOU OUT OF 6's YET?

You're fine. The barrel of the computer wasn't pointed at you.

[kj1225]

I wonder what Piecewise has in mind with the deal for Kyle's human body.

Ah. Good. The way you described it visually made me think the computer had gone nova or something XD

[piecewise]

 Good job team 18. Ya did it. Probably accidentally, but ya did it.

[Harry Baldman]

Fantastic shot! And also a terrible incident averted. It's almost like we're maturing into a better, more muscular sort of ARM.

Quick question, piecewise, can we underground louts do a quick wrap-up so we don't hold up the mission?
