By the way, I noticed in the Armory (while plotting out the equipment for my backup character) that the Universal Amp costs as much as the Matter Converter Amp. Is that an oversight, or is there genuinely no reason to buy the Matter Converter Amp?

The only reason I can think of is the following: in case you fuck up a roll really good, you do not fuck up all the reality, you only fuck up material aspect of it. In other words, it does less collateral damage when misfires. Probably.

Milno is gonna become drinking buddies with Thomas. Drink himself into a coma, forget about M19.

If PW calls me so I have to salvage M19's remains, please PM me. I should mention that possibility to him via IRC too, just in case.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.
>Yes?
"Could you guys also make a hamburger out of this arm when they cut it off? I wanted to eat it just for the sake of tasting it."
>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

[/quote]Also, the universal amp requires considerably more mindpoints than the matter converter to convert matter. PW also said that the universal amp carries non-numbers related danger. I suspect it's like tapping into the wifi of your neightbour the cosmic horror, and it's only a matter of time before he notices.

Possiblity of you just going out and completing the job all by yourself? Well, lets let Beirus find some way to maim himself before we send you out, but consider it a worthy plan.

You know, I was hoping Xan would stick around longer on my counter. Thanks a lot, Spaz! :P


Why does it seem like whenever I would find it amusing to have something on my counter for months, it gets immediately cleared......

Heh, I bet if you just sent Milno on M19 by himself he would have completed it no problem.

Is Xan permadead, by the by?

Also, I hope we get to see Milno the Pissed-Off Space Janitor.

Xan is no deader than Dubley, who lost his suit but was left intact by the blast due to reality glitch.

(((Duh fuck I just wanted to straighten my arm out and then loot!)))
This is why you only trust trained medics for your medical needs! You wanted to loot the dead and now you are the dead to be looted! This was easily preventible with proper application of Fleshtechs.

You also specifically said *set* arm, which is definitely a medical procedure. Straighten you might have gotten away with. :P

Never use a stat you have -3 in. Indeed, it's probably a good idea to not have any -2s.
