Could some one kindly pump some stem cells into zoltan's head and hope his body repairs itself. of course there would be lots of memory loss, but hey, still alive.

you want me to fleshknitter your brain?

uhhh sure. let's see if that works

[piecewise]

You don't have an amp or anything right?

nope.

It occurs to me that for purposes of speed, you could dice up the corpses with a monorazor or maybe something fancier and do an assembly-line style passing to the shuttle, where they all get thrown in one pile with their equipment. Later the pile gets sorted out in terms of what belongs to who.

Doubt it'd be very efficient (at least less so than just hauling the bodies in if possible), but quite an amusing rescue method nevertheless.

You could, however, work out a situation where you photograph the corpse and what it's got on it during the mission and, if otherwise extraction isn't possible, just take the head and provide the photograph to the AM so she can find rough matches to all the equipment lost. It'd be a bit expensive, but as an emergency measure (say, if somebody important is dead and there's a really big rush to get them out) might be acceptable.

Technically, he will have probably been dead for five hours at that point, and thus very degenerated.

C'mon, do it now. Worst case scenario his skull just gets plugged up with what is essentially an enormous malignant brain tumor. Is that so bad? And the best case scenario is that he becomes viable and able to actually flex his brain on account of the fresh muscle put in there.

uh actually my char killed himself right as the extraction team landed and everyone was dragged into the vehicle. so probably a little. but nothing to bad.

@nikitian

theres a problem with your subtext there buddy, if they did that thing then the result is reversable and the thing is pointless.

I ran the action through my "is the GM evil?" filter and came up with something much much worse than that. I'm not giving the GM ideas, okay? Just trust me in saying that the action could go really really wrong if I do it here. once we're in orbit and out of the planet's attack range, as long as I can have a teammate with weapon leveled at him when I do it, I'll do it then.

what do you mean by that? trust me you won't like my next char who is going to essentially be the pyro with a modified bunch of tubes with a propane tank  hooked to one end.

Well, now you have to do it. Think of the laughs we'll have! Stacy would have done it in a heartbeat, I'll tell you that much.

Im not saying i take Lyra's side or anything here, because im all for decapitating people with little reason, but you may wish to consider something...

The actions you are undertaking may have serious financial repercussions.

Equipment cost's money and if it is intact and easily retrieveable when you leave it behind then the owners of said items are likely to demand compensation because you were too lazy to collect it.
If you do in fact decapitate the dead bodies and run off with the heads as is logical to you, the owners of said bodies who place high value on their organic nature may turn around and attempt to extract money from you to regrow their bodies instead of being grateful that you saved them.

Also if you actually manage to go through with this without getting killed by Lyra, then she is gonna be a driving force behind the army of people demanding with all the political authority they can muster, that Steve pays your reward to the freshly reanimated corpses and that your gear gets vendored to make up the difference.

While it doesn't sound implausible for something like this to occur, has there ever actually been something like this?

Damn near, if i hadnt been retconned off the mission and the ship hadnt been nuked you can be damn sure i was gonna be extracting compensation for the lack of payment i would have recieved at the end of it.

Apart from that particular case, which is difficult to account for due to all the retcons, if a person complains to his rescuers that they didn't take his equipment and demands compensation, that might very well lead to said person being left behind next time something unfortunate happens. After all, once you're dead you only have your teammate's general morals and goodwill towards you to get you out of there.

Damn these OOC discussions ruining perfectly good bad decisions. There should be a rule for no OOC discussion of the current turn the way people are going at it. Way too much metagame from this otherwise.

I can very well see your point, but I'm afraid something like that might get a bit drastic, or very impractical at times. And unless the gm ever makes a clearer stand on stuff like this, we can only say we 'dissaprove of/dislike it', and that's it. Unless you can get to some sort of community agreement, but good luck with getting that (or ever enforcing it in some way).
