AHHHHHH FUCK YOU KNEE, YOU AND ALL OF YOUR TENDONS AND LIGAMENTS AND INTERMEMBRANEOUS LIGAMENTS THAT ATTACH TO VAGUE POSITIONS ON THE ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR CONDYLES AND INTERCONDYLAR SPACES!

I'm not a fan.
And suddenly piecewise's hate for limbs is explained.

I have a dilemma: Right now I would love to try and get my character on the M24 roster, he has some in-character reasons to love mad scientific experiments gone awry, but he has no idea the mission exists, and hell, he has no idea missions exist and really no idea of anything at all except that he was brought off ice in a place in space somewhere, for some reason, with enough money to buy a bitchin' pimpstick.

I don't want to meta, but I also don't want to just faff about on-ship. Watdo?

Sean's message about M24 was sent to everyone. And by everyone I mean everyone. So, I don't know, you can RP finding it in your wristpad's Spam folder or something.

@Piecewise For a moment, I was afraid that you had a major knee injury. Thank goodness it's just (I assume) the usual troubles of scholar's education.

Will you review the replies to your riddle some of us have posted here, or will you wait some longer (for more people to try guessing, for example)? At that, will you announce who guessed correctly?

I want Fun. We want Fun.  8)

@Moopli Well, I'd suggest engineering the situation a bit to give the required IC knowledge (that sort of things is more or less acceptable on-ship - see "Watch mission replays" actions). That, or OOCly asking RC to recruit you, and then ICly blaming everything on forced conscription by the Generals. :P
(Well, or use Paris's suggestion. It's perfectly fine too, I think.)

All this talk about ramming speed reminded me of this.

@RC: You could do a short briefing to inform us IC about what's going on. Because we have no idea right now IC, we just know that Heph is in trouble, since Sean never did the briefing, just sent a message. That would give a chance to people to give IC ideas or stumble onto the meeting and gain IC knowledge about the mission that way.

The one where you saw the armory master's true form.
I don't suppose the correct answer is M2 and that her true form is just her usual form with her hair untied? :P

Wait... If we can request an approved set of equipment for M24, can I get that 250L of liquid Helium for free (or at least a discount) and save myself some tokens?

I kind of assumed that there was already some sort of mini-briefing. Hence why I've already bought 250L of Liquid Helium for 5 tokens.

@Parisbre56: Might take a few turns to find anything on the wristpad given his impressive skill (he might just say delete system32 by mistake, who knows?), but it's worth a shot.

@Nikitian: Oh great now I have two good courses of action to pursue (:p). I like the idea of ending up on the mission by mistake, it fits his current just-blundering-about-not-really-knowing-anything mental state much better than intentionally looking for knowledge, learning what missions are, and deciding to join up. If I were him and I knew even a modicum of what's going on, I'd be doing my best to become an NPC research lackey as fast as possible. But he and I have different aims, which causes problems when trying to RP as much as possible...

If Miya sets up a briefing, I could accidentally walk in and get conscripted, but I don't really see any good reason for that to happen, if they need bodies they aren't going for the decrepit old man :P

Or I could go to the doctor, strike up a conversation about the progress of body-modification science, express disbelief at what he can do, and wake up on heph as a 'cryogenic resistance test subject', but the stars would have to align perfectly :p

You could also request an elemental infuser loaded with cold. That way you can infuse the liquid helium with extra coldness.

How do I get equipment, IC wise?

Never ever cease communication with your enemies, never ever cease interaction with them, never isolate yourself from them. Never ignore them, relish the time to deal with them, to exercise banter. The biggest mistake one can make is ignoring one's enemies. Go out of your way to pick a fight today.

You go to the armory and buy it. You have 5 tokens to start with. Look at the armory section on the wiki for prices.
