See if I can watch the video recordings of Avalanche team of whenever things went FUBAR so I know who to maim or immolate when they get back. Pass time waiting for more refugees. Maybe check the smaller groups for contraband.
It appears to have been a poor idea followed by an over reaction that spawned a chain of overreactions that then concluded in violence. That about sums up most of our missions though.
You start randomly searching the stragglers before the larger group forms. You don't find any weapons, though you do find some drugs and a few people who are questionably well. But drugs aren't contraband and no one is bleeding from the eyes so you send them through.
The stragglers soon become a line, and the line becomes a crowd, all vying to get across the light bridge and into the portal. Searching them would be too slow at this point.
forgot we had sods, have the sods perform random customs checks on the refugees to catch weapons passing through the portal and deter smuggling.
if a smuggler is found drop the portcullis in front of them and have a sod or two hold them down in front of everyone.
use my matter saver to remove their hands to make an example of them before raising the portcullis again so the other refugees can continue through to the portal.
Also manifest my id and send it off to ruin all of avalanches teamkilling dreams, just have it fly in and throw its weight around.. maybe scare some refugees our way while its at it?
as a side action can I get steve to set the gravity in my pocket dimension to be a universal constant of 1G and have it be unaffected by mass?
if so, can I also get the imensional walls to be about 10 feet thick and made of something at nuetron star level density?
i just know im gonna throw something extremely volatile in there at some point and I dont want to find out the repercussions of dimensional collapse first hand.
You have the sods perform random searches, but they fail to find anything except one guy carrying a knife. You mutilate him in front of the crowd, as you planned but that seems to have a rather...negative effect. Now there are a good deal of people who are trying to force their way back, away from the portal. Apparently they don't want to be giving their lives and safety to a group that cuts the hands off people for minor offenses.
And no. Gravity is kind of inherently bound up to mass, so you can't really divorce the two.
Await more distinguished patronage of our high quality interdimensional portals.
Namely the kind that needs extensive clubbing.
The combination of people attempting to shove their way back, along with people trying to shove their way forward has caused several people to tumble off the edge of the path, falling to their death or at least serious injury on the rocks and churning sea below. Is this the type of problem that beating random people with a burning mace could solve? Maybe. But it also might make it worse. Hmm. You consider the ethics and morality of beating refuges into crispy submission. Somewhere in the back of your mind a right wing talkshow host is screaming something about taking jobs and causing crime. Hmm.
Use sandbag to boot any people making trouble off the ridge.
They seem to be self booting.
Something approaches the other side of the portal, its appearance distorted by the light distortion effect. It's a nondistinct black cloak, larger than would be expected on a human but lower down to the ground, and as it moves along the ground it shifts in ways that suggest more than four limbs underneath there. Something looks out from underneath it, indistinct eyes glittering ominously.
Vanessa emerges from the portal, looking quickly around at the ARM members in the vicinity.
Arrive and assess if there's any wounded in the vicinity. Go join where the rest of the ARM people are before the main mass of refugees arrive.
Your arrival from the portal results in the people who can see you coming out panicking. You're a giant monstrosity made of limbs and you just slithered out of the hole everyone is walking into. Many are now convinced they're being fed to a hell portal. And they are letting the rest of the line know this via a great deal of screaming. Several have either fallen or jumped off the path, others are attempting to climb up the cliff wall on the other side.
