What, like the HEP or that electric shard projector?
Speaking of, how are you gonna handle Amps and Manips? Are they just gonna be Sci-Fi wands or are you thinking of something a bit more close to home?
Obviously they will be Sci-Fi wands that are powered by in-game micro-transactions which rather than charging money, require you to pledge a portion of your soul to the Origin! :P

Maybe they should had split the group in two or more and tried to get comms from the inside to the outside of the dome. That might have been the way to do it. Steve might have been able to provide some info and a way to deal with this. Or at least call exterminatus on the planet more quickly.

Then again, the dome might have been our universe's defence mechanism. Like an inflammation surrounding a wound. The alien god seems to spread via information or patterns or something like that. And the dome seems to have been made to restrict all outwards going info. So maybe establishing a way for information to get out of the dome would had broken quarantine and let the alien god in sooner.

I was going to do experiments about that, but then we all got suddenly showed inside before I could confirm anything.

Amps are powered by EA?

Duuuuuuuuuddddeee..... Sweeeeeeeet

Edit: Also I just finished reading all of Mission 21 (by all, I mean Piecewise's posts), and am still a bit confused on what part has lead to synthflesh and other "origin" tech (What IS origin tech btw?) being compromised? I read the part where amp's became compromised, although, only to the point of a counter attack, but what part said everything else was fucked too?

Alien gods, man. Can't live with them, can't have a Game Over without them.

Dester has the right idea. Assist in any way I can. Probably just performing surgeries.
you can oversee the doctors and continue overseeinghte establishment of secondary locations too. I put that in my orders up in my action post.

Quote from: Vincent to: Dester
Is it alright if Petra handles this one? I can come back up in an emergency, but I have a quite a bit of work ahead of me laying the groundwork for my plan

(Man I wish that conversation  between you and Petra was viewable to Vincent,  he would totally comment about how nice it was to finally not have to constantly fear death (Vincent's mission track record isn't that great) )
((I kinda wish I had cc'd that to him. I made a funny, though Dester sees nothing funny about the situation. Well, except for the cat ears and tail on our stasis sick leader. And the orangutan or whichever primate we have wandering the Alpha base.))

It's a miniature orangutan. And I damn well plan on keeping it for as long as I can.

Okay so Origin tech is a certain, most common kind of Fucking Space Magic Shit. Amps, synthflesh, and kinamps all use it. Oh, and automanips, which is why M21 are in big trouble (spaceships use 'em)

Its compromised because Steve is pretty sure this space god asshole comes from Origin, whatever Origin is, and therefore can spread its influence through any piece of Origin tech if it gets a hold of a piece.

I'm pretty sure the problem is that there is the possibility the alien god can spread through and take over all Origin-based space magic simply by touching it, because apparently all origin tech is already interconnected somehow. It was revealed in a PM from Steve: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=152007.msg6548252#msg6548252

And since the entire ARM and UWM rely on Origin tech for most of the things that allow them to fight and help them travel through the stars, that would be bad news. Some of the most important parts of humanity's infrastructure would be turned against it.

Thanks for the link, and yeah, I know I'm missing out on some info when I only read PW's posts, but to do otherwise would take significantly longer. On the missions I am on I do this, but when Im catching up on other missions, like I said, takes to long
