Well, at least the two ground missions got a lot more !!FUN!! And everyone on ship now gets to participate too! See? Fun for everyone!

[Parisbre56]

@Piecewise: You should give the payment Joker team would had received to the people rescuing them.
Also, asked for some clarifications in snapdragon thread, need your reply whenever you can give it.

Well Lenglon, it seems you were right after all, unfortunately.

So, uh, good luck with all that!

I dunno, from where Flint's sitting, she's wrong. I mean, think of it like that: The planet knows we're coming for it. So instead of loosing a presumably very expensive brain node, it chooses to temporarily move it away to save it, preferring to temporarily loose control over the surrounding area and gain a strong fighting unit in the process, because the alternative is loosing control of the surrounding area for a much longer amount of time while it reconstructs a new brain node. It had probably experienced attacks to its brain nodes before (perhaps from the UWM) and for that reason has developed this kind of defence to try increasing the chances of its brains surviving. Or maybe it simply develops this kind of defence instinctively or by an imprint from the mother spore world.

Giant alien worm! Yeah! This is going to be fun!

[Radio Controlled]

Could be paris. Though then you'd wonder why ours isn't doing that. Maybe it felt the brainfuck was enough of a deterrent.

Seems like our mission is gonna become a last stand of sorts. That one scene from AvP comes to mind, where they're standing on top of the temple.

Wait, the shuttles from the Sword weren't the first extraction plan?

[Radio Controlled]

Wait, the shuttles from the Sword weren't the first extraction plan?

They were, but we also need a distraction to prevent said shuttles from being blown out of the sky. Though cutting the brain and the planet going haywire should mean they can't put up a coherent response. Eh, pw wants to have a rescue party, so let him have it, logic be damned!

Also, most of the team fund just went up in smoke. The team fund I so carefully tried to manage, but allowed to be splurged for this important mision, just this once.

Hey PW, is it too late to retcon the Party Wagon into hitching a ride to the mission?

...
There still some money in there? I think I'd probably be of some more use with actual medical equipment.

[Radio Controlled]

Eh, I gave people medical equipment this mission. The one medic on snapdragon always runs off with said supplies, on the other team they try to fix everything by applying fleshknitter. To less success than hoped, by the way. Sorry nik.

So yeah.

[Xantalos]

Ah. I'll just try to convince Steve of lending me some for the purpose of fixing people in that case.

[Hapah]

Ah. I'll just try to convince Steve of lending me some for the purpose of fixing people in that case.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, based on the bolded bit below.

Alright, everyone stop what you're doing. We're experiencing minor mission based technical difficulties and I'm sounding the call for all hands. Get suited and ready. We need everyone to the hanger ASAP. We've got rescues to mount,  enemies to distract and a whole lot of very expensive military grade hardware to lose.

[Xantalos]

I think he primarily means Miya's Avatar, but yeah.

[Hapah]

Hmm, hadn't considered it that way. You might be right!

[Nikitian]

I think he primarily means Miya's Avatar, but yeah.

I like how saving General RyanMiyamoto is considered of roughly comparable importance as saving his Avatar of War. 

And thank you, but I'd prefer to show that off when [REDACTED] happens with the [REDACTED] and the balloons.

I see what you did there.

Also, look at it this way: while the team-fund was spent on this mission preparation, you are getting some tokens from late Mesk! Because everyone knows that tokens are money, and as such they are virtual (and in that, indestructible), and those little purple trinkets serve no actual purpose other than to indicate intent of expenditure. So their loss does not mean the actual loss of tokens - those are all on Steve's bookkeeping, rather.
... Poor, poor Mesk. 


Also, I'll be rereading the mission logs for the fleshknitter field test experience, but what little I saw as I casually skim the threads - that one time where it sealed the punctured lung and also grew straight through it - was up to expectations, I guess. Maybe new fleshtech techniques are to be developed to use it with maximum efficiency, like applying fleshknitter slowly as the wound closes, or plainly injecting it in the suit intake slots.
However, now that I think of it, that single experiment showed one definite proof of concept: fleshknitter-induced regeneration is fairly quick. And that was one of my major worries, the stuff not knitting flesh fast enough to be useful.

I wish I could find a DataHand keyboard.
