Evil RoyEvil Roy puts on the Rulebreaker Suit, having nowhere in particular to hurry to anyway. Not like there's any better place to put it as of yet. Does it slow him down in any considerable way, provided he's not trying to run around or anything?
Evil Roy takes a last-minute stroll in the Rulebreaker Suit around the floor of the Hall. His trip starts off slow - slightly above walking speed. The uncomfortable metal coffin he's strapped himself into propels itself with small thrusters which don't do much for forwards movement - although there are side thrusters which allow quick, if unsteady, sideways bursts. Travelling like that without feeling like an idiot might be a little problematic, but it should allow for decent dodging, at least. In general, the thing has decent turning and can even accelerate a little, though it's still below his running... or running-equivalent... speed.
[2] A few minutes into the attempt, there's a click and the left-leg thruster begins to heat up. Before Evil Roy can check what's going on, the thruster explodes into full output and the hero suddenly finds himself hurtling through the air pulled by his own fiery leg. He tries to regain control,
[6] and manages to shut down the offending thruster before he's accelerated into a splat on the far wall. Momentum still carries him in several spins through the air and into a nasty crash. Fortunately, he manages to kick in the suit's other thrusters to slow himself down before hitting the ground. Evil Roy suffers nothing worse than some scrapes on the exosuit. The warbling, arhythmic music might be giving him a headache, though.

AllTheir Fabrications and experiments done, our Heroes gather once more in the meeting room before the Teleportation Deck. Lux and General Tullion's face are there ready to greet them.
'Ah, you're all here. Well-rested and grieved and all, I assume? Splendid! Now! You did well on your previous mission, more or less. Now's time for something a little different. Lux!'An image appears in the corner of the screen, depicting a fat blue humanoid with white-spotted skin and bulbous dark eyes holding pupils like iridescent opals. The alien's gaze just radiates disdain. Those with knowledge of such things have a sneaking suspicion that the picture has been altered to look more ominous than it is.
Tullion continues.
'The word of the day is 'ASSASSINATION'! We want you- wait, it isn't? But I thought... oh, right. Humm. The word of the day is 'INDIVIDUAL PACIFICATION'! This scumbag is Augorr Authomec, death merchant, slaver and retired tyrant! He's behind years of bloodshed, oppression and Injustice! Now, he's been cast down from his dark throne and is holed up on the planet of Oublenmach - the bastard's bought up half the city block to hide in. Well, we won't let him escape Justice. Now, the jackass is slippery, so we don't know exactly where he is, only where he's been spotted last. We want you to go to Oublenmach, find Augorr, and kil- permanently pacify him with any means necessary. I have absolutely all faith in your success.'The General makes to turn but pauses, grimacing. He looks back at the Heroes.
'Oh, yeah. One more thing. There's someone else gunning for the guy too, a hired killer, name of Eclipse. He's got a job from one of Augorr's victims to assassinate him, and he is one mean son of a bitch. Needless to say, we can't let him steal our kill. Why, then it wouldn't be JUSTICE anymore, just ordinary REVENGE. Or God forbid, BUSINESS.'Tullion smiles widely.
'But I'm sure you'll manage. He can't be too much of a bother for Heroes of your caliber. Dismissed!'The screen cuts off, leaving the door to the Teleport Deck open and Lux ready to answer any questions.

@Toaster: The Dust is good for as long as it is, ie, a semi-arbitrary amount. If you use it a lot on a mission, I'll make sure you know in advance that you're running out. You might be asking 'why don't you just assign a number?' and well... I will, if you want to. There's not much difference between some Other Equipments and Consumables, anyway. Oops.
Feel free to repeat questions I don't answer. I usually forget to answer at least a few every time.
