I don't think I'd be very good at that whole "Leadership" deal. Just let me know who's the new Boss. Cecil says aloud to nobody in particular. He looks around trying to find some way to keep cool in this weather.

Find a way to stay comfortable in this heat

"We shouldn't have to drag her (yet, at least) as she supposedly follows instructions, I think.  Last questions, Steve: how do you say stop, follow, forward, and back in this language?."

Last questions.

[Hapah]

Good to go!

((We have water, right?))

[Corsair]

I do not have a laser so do I just borrow one or what? also If I must borrow one can I have a "I have special permission from steve so cooperate" slip for an investigation into this?

ask steve

[Toaster]

Good to go!

((We have water, right?))

((I'm reasonably sure the suits recycle water for you.  It has... tubes.  For collection.  Judging from M6, that sort of thing's abstracted away a bit.))

[Hapah]

((Thanks!))

((Judging from M6, that sort of thing's abstracted away a bit.))

((It's best to not think about the tubes. That's why most ARMy men try to ignore them and pretend they aren't there.
Also, PTW.))

((It saves pw doing posts like "You all have a dump and take a slash. Then you eat and drink that sweet, sweet food and water."

If we're in suits, assume there's water and nutrient paste. Or something. Don't think about it.....))

Sambo aims his laser rifle at the woman from a position that won't involve friendly-fire and gets ready to move along with the squad. He does his best to keep a steady mind while doing so, considering that someone will probably be in the firing lane of his slow cooker/laser rifle.

"Right, so who's going to do the dragging? I'm not letting this bitch out of my sights for a moment. I've got this thing set on low for now, so it'll probably just tickle a bit if it hits us in our suits. But if I say move, then fucken do it! Or go home without legs and shit."

((Just to be sure, Vincent is using his backpack isn't he? Not Sambo's. Because Sambo is using his right now. Vincent can do a recharge when we've actually gotten moving.))

((I'm assuming Vincent has the same suit generator as Sambo? So yes, he is using his own? If he doesn't I'll retract my charging action))

[sambojin]

((My generator is a seperate thing from my MkI suit. But whatever. You probably can charge a battery really, really slowly off a suit generator.))

Actually, let's try something a little different as follows:

1. Get my Testament prototype from Feyri.
2. Trade some of my gauss rifle parts for a glass receptacle and glass stirring thingy.
3. Drain some of the crystal solution from the Testament (about 30-60 rounds' worth) into the receptacle.
4. Stir lightly to crystallize as much of it as prettily as possible.

Use resulting pretty crystals as currency to purchase small cart, electric lights, metal sticks, gasoline generator, in that order of priority.

Then move out with the rest.

"Right, so three days if all goes well, which it probably won't. Hrmmm. Well, I still have questions, but the answers to those are gonna be "hell if I know", and "your guess is as good as mine". So, onto the next bit of business. Right you lot, who do ya think should be in charge, now that Steve here is buggering off back to the relative safety of the Sword?"

Continue metal barriers, and stand in a position slightly behind and to the left of the host, and keep an eye on them.

Gorat waves in front of Feyri's faceplate and concludes "Well, looks like it won't be Feyri after all. Any volunteers for leadership?"

A leader?  Tek had no idea, but he wanted to move out soon.  He guessed he could just suggest someone randomly, or he could wait sensibly.  But Tek had never been a sensible person...

"Tek nominates this guy," he says, pointing towards Morul, "as he has the look of a veteran and speaks in a Steve-ish accent. 

If no one steps forward, we could try a pure democracy, Tek supposes.  Grossly inefficient, but fair."

[Knight Otu]

"Democracy? Honestly, I don't know most of you well enough to trust you with such a concept. The freshly exhumed can be... less than rational."

((Democracy is basically Tyranny by Majority, which would describe quite a few of our characters here well.))
