AHH! What the fuck? Who's body is this?
((Remember I was full robot from the neck down.))
Go thank the Doctor for giving me a new meaty body, even if it is slightly damaged.
Ah, I was thinking the wrong person then. In that case you are still a normal robot.
Steve Saint, Unteamed Fleshtech
Dynamic AUX bonus:+/-1
Use AUX bonus to try and create some sort of unarmed combat assistance program using the bank of automated exoskeleton movements I've collected. Then go get a tablet with lolhueg memory from the AM. Those are free, right?
Lastly, message Milno:
"I have a robotic body, and a lightened exoskeleton loaded with combat algorithms, so I'm somewhat less likely to die than most. I do not have any weapons aside from those, so friendly fire is impossible.
I am talented with Auxiliary systems, and as a medic. I have an emergency kit in case teammates require repair.
Will you allow me to join your team?
((Con:-2, AUC:+1&2/3, MED:+1
Also, heh, of course everyone wants to join Milno's team...))
How exactly will this program work? Like what will it do, mechanically? Both in terms of gameplay mechanics and in world mechanics.
Auron, team C.
grab neotherm canister off of miyamoto then twiddle thumbs and wait for launch.
((Thaddeus killed the howitzer suit and Auron scavenged the melee suit. Lobsters pods should still be there.))
((Ah, well the howitzer suit doesn't have rocket pods.))
BEGIN PLAYING MUSAK!
WAITING INTENSIFIES
Team B
Strap in, hopefully notice the scanner thing and shut it off.
Not yet. Gotta get everyone in their teams then fun begins.
Flint Westwood - Boarding Pod A
Go to boarding pod. Inspect Boarding pod. Where do I sit? Does it have any controls? Any secondary systems to help us reach our target even if the pod gets destroyed, something like a grav-chute?
If we move out this turn, secure self and weapons as best as possible.
Well, we're not there yet but I can tell you that there are no controls and you're less sitting more being entombed in oxygenated fluid pods inside a giant, hollow, reenforced Gauss shell. Each individual pod is armored and has some maneuvering thrusters in case it gets separated somehow. Assuming the pod survives.
Could you tell me how much tokens the stuff in that pile is worth?
Would it be ok if I kept a sod team in reserve, to be launched should a team get into trouble on one of the ships? And would this be of any use, or does it take too long for a boarding ship to reach it's target?
Ask Steve if anyone has claimed any sort of loot yet, and the circumstances that person got it in (aka whether they killed the previous owner or not).
Give the shard launcher to Lars, if he still wants to loan it.
Give the thermite thrower to Thomas, and hand him 1 gauss rifle, two extra clips, and some nades from the pile.
Also, create a canister of neotherm or thermite or whatever (ask U_P for exact compostion) and give it to Auron. Make as much as I can with my current mindpool (don't burn myself out completely though).
I dunno if Miya would be happy with you just raiding his pile of weapons and just stowing them away.
((Indeed he wouldn't. For the record, don't let anyone grab anything from the pile, unless stated in Miya's action that person can. Just to preemptively avoid confusion.))
"If anyone needs a weapon, I gathered some stuff outside the Sword. Just get up here and tell me what you need. New recruits or people without a weapon get preference."
Miyamoto, if you can keep command of the ground, I would like to join the boarding parties - I have skills that may be of use, as well as copious amounts of equipment that may also be of use - my armor, especially. I'll form a team from the available units, if that's all right with you. And feel free to make use of the command and control facilities down here in the HQ, if you want. They're fairly comprehensive, if a bit secluded from any potential action.
"Of course you can go. I'm a bit too big to come along with you guys, but I'll try to help from down here where I can. The HQ will probably prove real convenient for that, though I'm not sure if I fit in there. We'll find out soon enough."
((Note: I won't respond to the people who messaged Miya for orders or assignment since I'm not dividing teams. Check wiki if you're looking for a squad. Or ask Milno in-game.
Also, still loaning out the thermite thrower, if anyone wants it.))
8-10 token.
You could do that. It might take them a bit to get up, but not uselessly long.
>Auron took rocket pods and melee equipment off a dead sod invader. Stuff routed around and made and etc.
MGAXT-85674/FR/ Dark Angel/Void Reaper - Team D: A Purple Heart just proves that were you smart enough to think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to survive.
Commander Steve, Sir!
Are we expecting any vital points to secure in addituion to bridge and engineering?
Go nab some connector cables, recharge the laser battery, get my towel back and stow it then get strapped into Denzel and Auron's pod.
Done and done.
In case you aren't in a boarding party yet, you can join mine. Up for it?
I'm already grouped up with some newbies, so I can't join up with you, sorry.
I'm sure you have plenty of recruits already though, right?
Go approach Miyamoto and ask for some weaponry.
"Miyamoto, sir, may I borrow the, ah, thermite thrower and some grenades, as well as a spare gauss rifle? My boarding team is mostly newbies, so I was thinking of giving the gauss rifle to whomever was best with guns."
After the request is allowed or disallowed, head to the boarding pod and get a good look at it. Is it essentially what the team rode in mission 3?
Then get in. And pray to Steve.
It is not. Also, he gives you some weaponry, just none to store away in your chest.
Team A, Fütball / Pilot and Support, Skylar
Ready to go. Hey Miyamoto, you said you had some grenades?
Ask for a couple grenades.
Otherwise, be ready to be shot at into the sky to my doom
Grenades gotten.
I'm going with you guys, it seems. Someone has to at least give you all a chance to get to the ship in the first place.
Join Team E and bring a whole bunch of flash and frag grenades for everyone to take with them. Charge Aux bonus for when we fly!
Taking all miya's extra grenades eh? Ok.
Take the lengthy option and get a non-robot body
Well, no boarding missing for you then. Enjoy floating in a tube for a while.
Set up the Sod team (2 laser rifle, 2 gauss rifle), give them my two drones, and load them into a pod. Set up my mission control environment for them. Help Grate do the same if he decides to.
Alright, consider yourself in remote control of them now, so make sure to have them act and do things, such as actually board once everyone is assigned a team.
According to the wiki These are the people that haven't been assigned to a team. They've not been picked for dodgeball.
Grate (GWG)
Marceus (WhitiusOpus)
Jack "Knight" Catar (Alarith)
Jhoseph Wilkes (Corsair)
May (TCM)
Steve Saint (Syvarris) [Milno's team?]
Renen [Milno's team?]
Brother Lars (Toaster) [Milno's team?]
Thaddeus (renegadelobster) [Milno's team?]
Jack Hansan (Tavik Toth) [Milno's team?]
Dominika (Powder Miner)
Once they're all set or decided they're not going, then we'll start.
If you've already done your "Boarding" action, then just sit tight, no need to repeat it.
