Yes. What happened to Jim? Did we miss an amp-user in the base we destroyed, or was his... accident tied with anything else?

Will we leave any permanent embassy here? Generally, what is the local population attitude towards us now? ...Are we picking up any volunteers?

What will happen to the knowledge they are supposed to share with us? How much of it will be made available to people outside of Hephaestus? Generally, can we finally have bio-tinker?

How did other missions fare so far? Are we needed elsewhere? What took the shuttles so long?

You guys have any questions or feedback here?
"Just a few quick ones. First, what is the net token worth of the guns we looted, ad these three battlesuits? The meds are for Nik to divide as he wants, but I'd like to add whatever we get from this to those 6 tokens before I divide anything.

And will we be able to recruit any science or construction crews for use on Hephaestus?"

Brother Lars bowed his head as Steve spoke.  When his turn came to speak, he raised his arms above his head.  "We only ask for a safe recovery for General Jim, and if it is his time to pass, guide his soul into your loving embrace.  Amen."

>Don't worry, I'm sure we'll see him again in one form or another.

>Dunno, we'll have to see when we get his body back.

>We'll leave some people here, some sods namely and a bit of crew. We'll be shipping soldiers here from Heph, along with tech and ships. As per volunteers? Well, no new soldiers at least.

>We'll see. Mainly they were gonna supply us with the results of the research more then the research itself. But if you want to tinker with biological things, you can do that.

>Probably best not to worry about it. We may need to thaw some people though.

>Probably about 35 tokens. They're damaged but we can salvage a lot.

>They'd be Bio-specialized, but yes.











Anything else?

((Quick question: are you guys ok with just turning those battlesuits into tokens and diving them? Would almost double mission pay (35+6=41  41/9=4,5  so at least 4 bonus tokens for every one!) and be least hassle. There'd be 5 tokens left, we can dump them into the team fund or I'll give one extra to the newbs, Lyra, Lars and Nik. Either is good for me.

Opinions?))

God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

((I just need 15 tokens for my mind control amp. So as long as Beirus survives (he owes me 5 tokens), you could donate my extra tokens to people with few missions, like Lyra and Daineal.))

((At times like these, Maurice would really show his contempt for an average convict's greed... But since it's OOC, I'm fine.
Also, come to think of it, IC it's kinda strange for Jim's share of tokens to be distributed among the team - but Steve said so, so it should be considered his deep scheming, rather than mistake/OOC knowledge creeping in. ))

((Well, up to giving up the whole token share (in this case), for example. Impractical, minorly impressive, and clearly something no reasonable-minded convict would do. Not to mention it being detrimental to the meaning and utility of tokens as mechanism of measuring Steve's trust. ))

((So, you are against the concept of pooling tokens and dividing them at the end of a mission? Cause I thought you were fine with that before, though I may be misremembering.

The idea behind it is to prevent people going after loot for themselves and putting the mission second, and to even out the fact that not everybody is in equal position of getting any. Also allows us to give some extra to who we think deserves it or really needs it. finally, it means less work for pw.))

((Yeah, we're almost there. No big opposition to the proposed division, so that's what we'll do.

That means 5 bonus tokens for Lyra, Bart, Dan, Lars and Maurice, and 4 for Flint, Mesk, Renen and Miya.

Once you confirm, that'll be all.))

((I don't think heating something that is right above us to a ridiculous degree is very smart. Worst case scenario we become +metal statues+. This is a finely crafted metal statue. It is encrusted with sharkmist and HMRC. On the item is an image of HMRC and Pancaek. Pancaek is laughing. The HMRC is melting. The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))
