Over radio: "What are the chances this is a trap for illegal immigrants?"
"Let's wait to see if they open the box."
And thus the team died, trapped forgotten inside an unmarked metal box.

Unlikely to happen, but it would be the shortest mission ever.

A quick glance at the stats of the worst (heavy bleeding or worse) and least effected (headache or less) indicates maaaybe End and probably not Mind; more than half of those worst affected (Dubley Jobaiso Judas Alex Ben Ian Kai) had +1 or better Mind.  Of the five least affected (Lars Flint Yancey Vanessa Taddok) three have +1 End or better and two have +1 Fate or better.  For the record, three have +1 Mind or better too.  Lots of people with positive Mind on this mission, really.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

That thing went for the head first, so it's probable that neural strengthening gene mod I had at least helped a bit, since it also protects from physical damage (or at least that's how I understand its description).

Heh. That does make me wonder... Will they have to deal with any strange fashion or customs, like everyone speaking in rhyme or everyone dressing like cartoon characters (or maybe even a cult that thinks they are cartoons trapped in human bodies) or something like that?
I don't think any of them asked about the culture of the place, but I imagine a place as big as that and as rich as that  that gets so many immigrants will have some very strange mixes of cultures and fashions.

Halt! First, we check it out. Then, if nothing of interest happens, we move on.

You are free to test it with throwing objects, and afterwards with poking it with your poles.


Test the armor rating of the anomaly using increasingly massive rocks.

Ask it a riddle.

Also, too bad Cthunkan didn't go on the dead zone mission. It would have been interesting to see how they reacted to the whatever. It was a discordant sound which affected some and left others with no clue what was happening, so it seems like it wasn't physical in nature, though its effects were at least in part physical.

Seems like some of the minds in Cuthukan would've been stunned while others wouldn't. Though if it's endurance then Cuthukan would've been fine.

So, I take it I'm dead. Better prepare a backup char just in case.

I think PW would have told you if you had died, especially if it was permanent.

Still, I'd better get a backup ready anyway. You know, just in case.

The black dice of doom have been thrown. I suspect at least one of you is now a liquid slurry :P

Four or five from the looks of it. That's one messed up mission. Huh, It's almost certainly a mind attack, if the sods didn't react.
