Saint is still in text only mode, because he's doing tests with the perception virus. He is unaware of this new apocalypse unless someone texts him, some automated alarm goes off, or he hears that ringing without having visuals on anything. Are any of those true, or is Saint going to just casually not notice that everything is being destroyed?
1.Send Return To Home signals to ALL probes. Immediately. If the apocalypse doesn't cease, detonate all testing rooms.
2.Put my warship on full burn away from the lab.
3.Cut off comms between Heph and the Lab. Just like last time.
4.Remaining warships should train nuclear weapons on the lab (but not fire yet), while sending all their shuttles, mostly empty except for a couple of sods each, down to the lab in an attempt to rescue survivors. If these are the new-model shuttles with integrated laser cannons, they are allowed to chop through the facility if it would help get to people sooner. If possible, they should prioritize Charles and the BLOPS team.
5.Quickly have a sod on a remote warship cycle through as many apoc lab feeds as possible. If that sod, or the warship it's on, suffer any ill effects, don't do action 6.
6.I had a few quarantine rooms with humans in them set up for testing the perception virus. These humans will now be shown videos of what's happening to the apoc lab, and will be told to describe it in as structural a detail they can. They're my eyes, basically. Have a standing order that if any of their lifesigns go significantly out of whack, or anything bad starts happening to Heph, they and their containment rooms all get destroyed immediately.
7.Look through the plaintext transcripts of the Apoc Lab's NPC scientist crew's lifesigns. Selecct the 5% who are still alive, but worst off, and shock them unconcious. Does their condition improve? Or at least stop deteriorating?
1.Incinerate everything in the test chamber that contained the sods infected by the perception virus.
2.Set up a similar experiment, except with five robosods, numbered A through E. A will be shown the infections video, B will be able to see one, C will be able to see B but not A, D can see C but not A or B, etc. Record the order that they die in, and the delay between their deaths. Then incinerate everything.
3.Stick a printer in a containment room with a flesh sod, and remove all other electronics. Have the printer print a single still image of the perception virus, and tell the sod to look at the image. Does the sod die? Incinerate everything, regardless.
4.Single suited flesh sod in a containment room. Play only the audio from the virus. Dead sod? Incineration again.
Personal:
5.The program that I want to use to re-obtain use of my arms uses movement commands recorded from sod braincases over my century-long stay on Heph. It's identical to having a sod possess me, except that the commands are coming from a database rather than a live robosod. Try using this program to move my arms--does it work?
6.As to the actual stats of how this works... Previously, I had tried to use this program to allow myself to roll AUX instead of dex/str. You said you were okay with it, but the council vetoed that use, because Saint has +4 aux and it would be completely OP. Would you be okay if, mechanically, Saint continued to use his actual dex and str scores, but lore-wise we say he's actually using this program at all times? Essentially, no mechanical difference exists, but it's how I've imagined Saint for a long time.
7.In the "poke" thread, you said that Saint had spent a hundred years on Heph. This would make him 127 years old at the moment, assuming he's spent no time in stasis. What is the maximum age of a braincased human with his level of access to advanced medical technology?
8.Slightly random, but on the wiki we have a list of programs written by players. This section specifically includes programs written by players which are not publicly available. Saint should have IC knowledge of these programs, because they have been used on missions. I would like to replicate all of them from the ground up, using my +4 AUX, and then make the replicas publically available. And make the ones designed for use with MK.IIIs work with all of our other flying wearables. Is this okay?
9.Whistle while the world ends.
Sorry about the lack of posts. Ugh, these last few days have been very eh.
And I just got back from lab in which I drew my own blood...for a while. So...*yawn* I'm not really up for much. But Ozracks...Oz...Ozarock...Oozbark.. That guy above me. He was saying this mission was doomed. He called out in despair and thats a good way to attract me.
So Sy here, his posty has him doing something important. He blows up the testing rooms. Which is a bit overkill but hey, claps for him because he figured out the trick. The Lurker uses people as conduits to summon itself in. Kill the conduit, cancel the summoning. And so this apocalypse was canceled. And I'll assume all the drastic measures everyone else was taking don't go through because I'm just that kind of guy.
Unfortunately he blew up all our test rooms...so...we're gonna have to build a few more of those before we continue.
Any ideas for how we can change these rooms or make them better or really anything we need to do? Or just good going back how it was.
