Not gonna pump his brain full of stem cells? Disappointing.

yah come on lets try. every human has stem cells in the base of their neck just take some out and pump it into his brain hole

[spazyak]

Ah well. In that case did you post your new char somewhere?

yes I did on the ping pong massacre and on here and also in this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UAbkp5RDL0nbZZfuOXFm53u4uFjJ3aOh0e-5T0938Kk/edit?usp=sharing

"Let's move! We've got worms incoming, and I doubt it's with good intent! I'll link my cams, but DO NOT use your manips or amps unless you are very, very good with them and the brain that uses them well rested."

Link cam feeds to people in the ship. Use laser on max intensity, max diffusion. Shoot at all the white worms/the moving flesh, but BE VERY CAREFUL not to hit the shuttle or the cables holding us.

Should anything attack us, try to deflect it with manip (yes, I know that's hard to do, and that if the attack goes too fast it won't work. Still, can only try).

I think you might have misinterpreted the white fibers. I'm pretty sure that's the next-nearest brain growing out it's neural web to take over the freaking-out flesh, not actual attacking threats. The threat is the entire ground suddenly trying to attack you at once

[Radio Controlled]

Shooting my laser at the white fibers will also target the ground, so same difference. And shooting the fibers means the flesh should go uncontrolled again.

Also, I do wonder if this is the right time to use that mindfuck gun. You just know you'll accidentally hit me or Iveso on anything but a 5. You're shooting without any visual.

What does the mindfuck gun do?

[Radio Controlled]

What does the mindfuck gun do?

We don't really know.

[NJW2000]

Ah. So is that the most dangerous thing on the shuttle then?

[Hapah]

Well, we've also got those Nyars "candy" artifacts, I think. No clue what those do either. And maybe a couple of potions?

[NJW2000]

Erm, yeah, those idiots with potions putting us all in danger! Down with them I say!

[Parisbre56]

What does the mindfuck gun do?

We don't really know.

We do have some info.

Based on what piecewise said on IRC once and the info given in the Hephaestus thread, it causes strange mental effects to any sentient beings that stand in a cylindrical area extending 16.1 metres away from its barrel. It ignores all armour. Effect varies based on individual hit by the beam (Will roll), guaranteed to work on humans, less reliable results for other species.

It's a bit like inducing panic to someone in XCOM. They'll freak out, but their freaking out might end up hurting you anyway if you're very unlucky. The fact that it penetrates all armour is a big plus though.

First time piecewise was asked about it he said that it had no ammo but was fragile and expensive, next time he said that it had limited ammo, don't know if he clarified which of the two is true later.

[Radio Controlled]

Ah. So is that the most dangerous thing on the shuttle then?

Potentially, which is why I'd have Miya tell him not to do that and potentially bring disaster at the last second... If he had any way of knowing :/

[spazyak]

SOooo am I not aloud to use my new char because there is a slim chance Zoltan could still be brought back to life or for something else entirely?

[swordsmith04]

You can start using your new character at any time, though it would preclude you from playing any kind of revived-Zoltan.

No, you're free to use your new char, since the other is dead. Unless you want to wait for the chance to play a brain damaged version of him (if they manage to revive him and he can stay alive with a flashknitted brain) but having half your brain replaced by semi-randomly mutating cells will probably leave you much worse than a new character (again, if you get revived and survive, which is highly unlikely). Think -2 to all stats and skills and full memory loss. Ask piecewise if you want more reliable info, that's just what I imagine would happen.
