Do this:

I distinctly remember replying to both of those, one telling you to ask the driver in character and the other asking if Miya ever actually finished the goop launcher because I don't remember him ever assembling it. He got it prototyped, but prototype stuff still just gives you the pieces, not the whole. You have to assemble them.

Also, next time, you might want to be a bit more specific then "Approach the diner." Piecewise runs on absolute statements.

You walk straight down the center of the street, space flame thrower in hand, whistling a jaunty tune. You walk straight up to entrance of the diner and then stand there.

You may have typed the replies, but they weren't actually posted. The last two turns are here and here, and there was no response in either.

And I believe Miyamoto had the original namite thrower modified - the prototype part was just so that the modification would be free. The relevant post is in the spoiler:

And yeah, you could do it, though it would be difficult. Creating distinct, specific mechanical and chemical devices is about the edge of human capacity, so I'd make sure you're good and ready before doing so.

In that case, could I please use my 1 prototype grant for this? I'd give the thrower to the AM so she can do the modifications to it, and modify the 2 namite canister I have now so they fit on the new launcher. Next to that, could I get 1 or 2 canisters of goop mix and a spray bottle of dissolvant?

[RP snip]

Give my upgraded thrower to Hasala, as well as the two canisters of namite and all the goop and dissolvant I get from Steve/the AM. If Steve won't fund my project, give him the namite thrower and 2 cannisters anyway.

Oh, and if anyone on either team B or C needs the shard launcher, that person can loan it as well.

Yeah, sure. That works. Team leader can probably get 2 token modifications done with a "please". She's pretty nice, if you're competent, after all.

If some assembly is still required, can I do that retroactively?
Also retroactively ask the driver where the smoke grenades we were promised are.

Wait for my helmet's filters to reset, then shove Lerman off of me and give him a good kick and stand up. Count how many floors there are in the target building, then go look for twist-ties or something else I could use to bind the unconscious diners' hands. If they're wearing belts and I can't find anything else, use those. If they're not wearing belts and there is absolutely nothing in either the diner or the kitchen that could be used to bind their hands, use their shirts.
Once they're tied up, drag them away from the broken windows, behind the counter preferably.

Tell the driver to bring the APC over to the diner.

Check the Venetian blinds on the windows. Can they still be closed? If so, close them.

"Well, for what it's worth, the back door is open. Although, with that noise, I have a feeling the front door is just as valid an option now. Anyway, I have two doors back in the kitchen, one looks like it goes up, the other down. Me and squishy here are heading down."

Get over to the hatch, and get it open. If it's locked, look for a key.

[swordsmith04]

"What the hell, Lerman?"

[Hapah]

Explore ground floor of building. If confronted, attack person with nightstick.

[IronyOwl]

"... Well, it probably would have been more subtle to just ram the APC in..."
Kyle says watching the scene with a look of near awe.

"Welcome to ARM," Faith said over the comms.

"You and you," she said, pointing at Hasala and Konrad. "Thanks to you and you-like behaviors, we most likely have cops incoming. That means it's your responsibility to deal with them if they do. Ideally, you won't have to because someone more qualified will take care of it. But you broke it, so you're officially on copwatch for it.

Meanwhile, I still don't like that satellite dish. Going rooftop, with a quick stop to a window."

Climb the building properly, like an enraged lizard not afraid to damage the masonry. Look inside a window using various vision modes on the third floor; bash it open and stick my head in if necessary. See if it's still black from the inside.

[Pancaek]

Approuching the diner, pan turns to faith.

"So, that impenetrable blackness goes all the way to the top, and extends below the building. Where would you like me to go first, up? or down?"

[yobbo]

Stare harder buddy, maybe you'll intimidate the door into opening, Yttra thinks sarcastically to herself.

@Team "We're at the back of the building. There's a one-way door here. Keeping watch."

@Morul "Hey… do you, uhh, do you feel that?" Yttra says, a little nervously.

Point tranq pistol at door. Keep slightly well away from crazy teammate who's staring at the door like he's gonna blow it up with his mind. If anyone comes thru the door and tries to escape, shoot them with the pistol.

The light and Sound filters on your helmet trigger as the flashbang goes off, leaving you temporarily blind and deaf as they reset. Well, at least these only take a few seconds, not like the restaurant patrons who are gonna be blind for the next ten minutes.

((seeing as Yttra was looking at the back door and there was a building in between her and the flashbang i'm just gonna assume she's fine?))

Yttra watches her teammate telekinetically open the door with zero craziness, zero explosions and perfect effectiveness. Well how about that.

@Morul "Huh. Wow. Nice one. Wow. Neat."

Enter via now-opened back door. Cover Morul, shooting anyone who attacks him (or me) with the pistol. Scope out the kitchen to see who's in here with us. Say to them:
@Kitchen Staff "We don't have any business with you, keep out of the way and you won't get hurt."
and, after listening to the screams in the diner, add: "And if ya wanna just scram out the back door here, which i would 100% recommend, now's the time.".

[kisame12794]

"What? I told you I was good at this."

[IronyOwl]

Approuching the diner, pan turns to faith.

"So, that impenetrable blackness goes all the way to the top, and extends below the building. Where would you like me to go first, up? or down?"

"Your call. Morul's rushing downstairs, I want to know what that satellite's transmitting or receiving, the artifact's most likely downstairs... plus we may have trouble from the outside, so you might be needed back at ground level at some point. And all of this is assuming none of us go insane or get trapped in a pocket dimension.

Really, your call. You've got the hardware to do pretty much anything, I'd think."

[yobbo]

"What? I told you I was good at this."

"Yeah, like how you told me your goggles ate your memories." Yttra scoffs, aiming for ‘playful’ and hitting ‘kind of insulting actually’.

[smurfingtonthethird]

((yeeeep, still the butt monkey))

Lerman retreats mentally from the verbal and physical assault.

"I-I was trying to help... I got civvies out, right?"

Mope. Go sit in the APC's turret and be depressed. If Faith can't get to the radio dish, see if I can't shoot it into little pieces.

"We've been ordered to stay down here to watch for the police, Konrad."

"I-I was trying to help... I got civvies out, right?"

"...I suppose. That wasn't the best way to handle that situation, though. Try to pay attention to what your teammates are doing, and think about whether what you're doing would actually help, next time."

[kj1225]

Kyle follows anyone who isn't going through restaurant. Upstairs preferably.

[IronyOwl]

"We've been ordered to stay down here to watch for the police, Konrad."

"You don't HAVE to stand right here waiting for them, but they're your responsibility now. If they steal our APC and start cordoning off the area, I'll be looking at you two."

She did a double take.

"I meant Hasala and Lerman, not Hasala and Konrad. Got confused because Konrad was beating incapacitated civilians unconscious at the time. Easy mistake to make."

((yeeeep, still the butt monkey))

Lerman retreats mentally from the verbal assault.

"I-I was trying to help... I got civvies out, right?"

Mope. Follow teammate around, Gungnir ready to shoot crazy cultists.

"Yes, but you got them out in a blind panic, and half of them are plain blind and still in, and there was an explosion.

That's not great."
