Just realised Vincent is PROBABLY in the same room as Dester, as Dester called for a meeting before shit hit the fan

[Xantalos]

Oh don't worry I intend to get off the mission as soon as I can. Gotta do things.

[Lenglon]

Miya's request to keep people from being disruptive is reasonable, having the trial behind closed doors is not. Lyra has a reason to be there for Maurice because of her history with him, Abigail for example does not. Lyra also is quiet by nature.

[Ozarck]

Poor Dester. The guy's going to end up with a heap of mental trauma , after all he's seen. Not as much as Gus just received, but still.

Also, this is the second character I've had instantly die early on in the mission, without actually seeing any combat. Third time's the charm, I suppose.

Dester started out a tad scarred. his personality is being either broken or boiled down to it's essence by all this. he might not have the same level trauma that Gus got, but then again ...

hey, Gus saw combat back on M23. When we wee doing the illegal emigration part, he acted as security and had to hold some people down, and later, he fought with the security forces to keep the shipping docks open for us against riots and stuff. it was abstracted, but he was there.

Joke or no joke, Maurice could hold everyone in the room ransom, if he wanted. With the AM disabled and space magic being unreliable, he and any dead man switch he might be using can't be countered with 100% certainty. All he needs is an active jammer to stop Steve from interfering Actually, he doesn't even need that, he already has his shock implant removed. Still, an active jammer might still help since it would prevent Steve from interfering or even using Green Storm on others present.

I still don't see what good that would do for him though, unless used in a "Shut up and let me talk!" moment, for RP emphasis. Even then, he'd probably be making things worse for himself, if that is even possible. He's being put on trial by two guys who just lost things that were very important to them (Milno the AM and Miyamoto his plans). Not the best  position to be in.

That's would be Flint's opinion if he was on the Sword right now. Use the Spock argument. You can't a fair trial when the judges are emotionally compromised and are thus liable to not judge fairly but rather get influenced by their emotions.

Yeah. Well, one could argue Maurice is being nice and actually loyal to the ARM. The Socrates argument, so to speak. Too bad they probably might not be rational enough right now to understand that.

And I honestly wish that Maurice would get at some point through the temporarily-thickened skull of Milno in that the AM isn't lost yet. She might be soon, she might be as a result of the attempts to save her, but she isn't yet. Oh well.


For those considering making new characters: A new background option is available! Project Wunderkinder has officially come to fruition, by word of Piecewise.

A Hephaestus-born character, raised in conditions strictly aimed at maximizing your mental abilities, honing your mind, creativity and knowledge to utmost degree (physical fitness, practical and social skills might or might not have been ignored less emphasized; but personal training often provided or at least possible). Both "successful" graduates and "rejected" troublemakers options are available, so no real restrictions on stats/skills combination (though graduates, of course, are likely to have buffed Mind stat in particular). Age of up to 22 (age discrepancies explained by earlier stasis'ing).

Would we be able to play a mission 23 survivor?... Like, one of the ones that was originally going to become a ghost ship mind, not the company crew, as they still think they are working for a shipping company

I don't see why we wouldn't be able to.

It's been bugging me a little since the beginning: the On-Ship thread's misnomer. It was Ronald 9wolfkit's character), not Paris, who accidentally discharged.

[syvarris]

Weren't the wunderkinder artificially bred using Hephaestus personnel's genetic material?  So I could play Maurice and Simus' son?  That would be fun, and almost as good a character as my current backup.

Too bad my attempt to steal like a quarter of the kids and shove them in deliberately-broken stasis machines never got processed.

[Nikitian]

@syvarris Well, yes, they were in the genetic pool too. And yes, that person is certainly available for roleplaying... I guess.

I, uh, have reported your finding to Piecewise. Well, uh, he's updated the thread title. Yeah.

[Xantalos]

Never fear, I'll seek to ... rectify it soon enough.

The strength of Xan's Oedipus complex shall be known for all eternity by the time I'm done!

[syvarris]

Oh, so he's collecting teammates' corpses so that he can stitch them all together and reassemble blonko?  And then violate said corpse doll?  Please tell me you're going to disable your allies' brains' camera feeds before you violate their stitched-together corpses.

[Xantalos]

No no no. Bigger in ... scope? Scope. Scope sounds like the right word.

Though I applaud you for remembering that obscure character detail.

[swordsmith04]

[21:41] <Swordsmith04> Hmm. Piecewise, do any of the tempdead lose attribute points?
[21:44] <Piecewise> Yes
[21:44] <Piecewise> they should lose 2 points from somewhere, they choose
[21:44] <Nikitian> Aw, bloody.. M'kay.
[21:45] <Nikitian> Wait, does that include skill points?
[21:45] <realnav> poor nunzillor
[21:46] <realnav> this character lost points before her fist levelup
[21:46] <realnav> poor poor nunzillor
[21:46] <Nikitian> Owww
[21:46] <Swordsmith04> Oops, now I regret asking that.
[21:48] <Swordsmith04> Piecewise, are the 2 lost points from stats AND skills, or stats OR skills?
[21:49] <Piecewise> Sword two points from anywhere, they choose

(Sorry Nunzillor)

[Unholy_Pariah]

and the moral of this story is, never ask.

[Kedly]

First thing I thought of when you said oedipus is "Sex with mother"
