Find the shade. It will soon be gone.

[Corsair]

We are so screwed

[Harry Baldman]

The spacesuit was slightly uncomfortable for the Chief. Her team was composed of nitwits, abominations and robots as far as she could tell. She had stopped smoking due to the faceplate, and now would presumably hurtle where none of her tribe had hurtled before. Would it be painful? Presumably yes. Lethal? Quite possibly. And while she is on the smokes, she doesn't quite care. But there was an important issue to consider.

"Do we make groups now or later?" she wonders aloud.

[Knight Otu]

"Later, most likely", Gorat replies. He is back in both his Mk II and his stasis suit, not that the latter is visible under the former. "We don't know yet that we'll get to split up, and if we do, I want whoever does determine teams to get a chance to learn at least a bit about us, so they don't make one team out of idiots or worse."

"Learn more about us. Yes."

She taps her faceplate.

"I am Dawa Maal Leeyes, or the Chief. My skills are making things, taking them apart, and other things less so. Am unfamiliar with much of technology, but can work with things well enough. No good with this," she says, pointing at her sniper rifle. "Will lend to someone if there is need for far-away shooting. Who are the rest of you?"

[Knight Otu]

"I am Gorat Ivanos, also called Chin. I mostly use amplifier implants, which some people call space magic. I use them to manipulate temperature and do some kind of telekinesis. Also, I have a laser rifle," Gorat pats on the rifle, " and a few oddities thanks to our mystery monger Nyars."

"What is telekinesis? Do you mean the mass manipulation psychokinetic amplifier? And what are the oddities?"

[Knight Otu]

"That and a microwave one, yes. The oddities... one, I have a suit that puts me into a seemingly impenetrable stasis for a pre-determined amount of time, currently about an hour. Two, I opened a flask that apparently contained the personalities of many previous HMRC members that somehow now talk to me. Three, they claim that this somhow makes me resistant to mind control. Four, I don't know if I can trust them, and by proxy myself, so I asked the armory master for a shock trigger for my shock implant so that someone I trust can shock me if I somehow endanger the mission and Steve can't shock me quick enough."

"Interesting."

And slightly alarming.

"Also, there are free guns at armory," she says, pointing at the Testament prototype she also seems to have obtained. "Still some left in return for report after mission."

[Knight Otu]

"I had heard. I don't think I need one, but if any of you need a weapon, ask General Miyamoto for one of them, that's the proper channel as far as I know." Gorat tells whoever else is in the shuttle.

"I'm Dubley. I have a brand new mark three and two powerful untested deathtubes."

[Knight Otu]

"I guess that makes you more effective than just your pickaxe. In theory, at least."

"Don't question the effectiveness of my pickaxe. It saved my life last mission. And it earned me one of those death tubes."
Caress my pickaxe lovingly.

[Knight Otu]

"Oh? What happened on the mission?"
