I was told that yellow voices are difficult for the insane people not using the dark theme to read so I'll be having Reginald speak in a different way now. Clem adopts a deep, gender-neutral voice.
"Depending on the size of the station, 'staff agitation' is a synonym for either 'stir crazy' or 'civil unrest'. Or it could just be a misdiagnosis of a different problem. Any of those possibilities can lead to situations where we're not given a warm welcome."
Oh I'm sure its nothing that serious! Otherwise they would have used a stronger code. Like the yellow alert "Civil unrest" code. Or the Red "Union formation" code. "They're probably just all at the titty bar, if their staffs are all agitated. Best to leave them be for a bit.
Anyway, if We're going on this Transpenitentiary Rewind Acquittal Process thing, we must be the Progressive Reprobate Agitation Terminal Squad. Somebody stitch us up some logos and emblems."
Reginald doesn't seem to follow.
Admittedly it is easier to follow if you're reading it rather than just having it said to you.
I'd like to join in if that's okay. It seems like this game is taking players freely, so I went ahead and wrote up a sheet and turn. I've read through a couple games here and there, (including this one and DIG) but never felt I had the time before this summer. I thought this looked like a good game to get started with, so here I am. Tips and suggestions are welcome.
One question: The first post indicates in one location that the base life die is d2, but under the default character sheet is d4. I'm assuming d4 in my sheet, but I don't know. I'd like clarification so I can correct it if needed.
I'd like to appear in the barracks, and follow Reginald's instructions to travel to terrabase sigma. (assuming with the team)
Name: Tom Hershey
Physical Description: A tall and lanky engineer. Light skin, dark hair, blue eyes. Younger, mid 20's.
Background: An electrical engineer who decided that his first job out of college - programming motor controllers to be 5% more efficient - was boring. Between supposedly high combat pay (that's what the recruiter said) and excitement. Fairly impulsive, Ben couldn't pass up the "exclusive opportunity" to join Omnitech. Rarely forgets anything and has a knack for mechanical and electrical problems.

D2 is basic health die without any armor. Humans are very flimsy things.

I'm sure there will be personnel on site to guide you. And if all else fails I'm sure there are maps on site as well. I do apologize though, I'm just not sure where that security request went...((It's within my budget actually, I had 1250 OMNI, the purchases cost me 950 which left me with 300. Also the antibio razor now has a d6 strength requirement to use, does the concealed implant version also have that requirement? If it does, would it be fine if I switched my fate levelup to strength?))
"Are we gonna be given space suits for this mission or are we gonna die if something goes wrong?"
"Do you expect the station to blow up the moment we arrive? You shouldn't worry about not having a space suit, there are far more ways for you to die that aren't prevented with one."
Yes, it has the requirement, and yes you can switch it.
Be wherever I need to be to progress to the next stage.

She could be useful. Her stats are pretty low so straight up combat might not be a good idea but auxiliary or helping positions are possible.
Uh. In light of the massive armory change, I'mma gonna just... unbuy all the stuff I just bought, if that's okay? And instead, buy an armored spacesuit, if that's not considered metagaming... otherwise, a cognition copier, because that's totally what I'd do if I didn't know a space mission was next.

Either way, buy: cognition copier (400), toolkit (200), 2 nutrient paste (2x1), ear plugs (5), goop tank (?)
You could up the attack die by merging two, effectively spraying more.

I think a goop tank is much less now.
Hmmm probably gonna be...Actually, I think instead of allowing weapon modification it might be a better idea to just have upgraded versions to buy that do more effective "damage". Oz was complaining about people buying their way out of weapon negatives and he does have a point.

You shake hands with Reggie. He seems pleased.
"Well, I guess I better get ready for space! Hey Edd, if you're gonna ask the magic ball about the upcoming mission, you may as well place a bet on it. That's a 10 credit buy in for what type of mission it will be, another ten credits for scale of disaster, and a final ten credits for number of team deaths."
Strip naked right there in the meeting and put on my disposable space suit. then attempt to put on my rubberized jumpsuit over top of it, unless usch is clearly impossible, in which case, tie my rubberized jumpsuit around my waist.
One betting pool for team deaths, buy in is 10 OmniFunds
One betting pool for type of disaster/ mission. buy in is 5 Omnifunds.
One betting pool for scale of disaster, by order of magnitude. Buy in is 5 Omnifunds.

I'll allow it, for now. But the helmet does prevent you from wearing anything else on your head.
Could I buy a replacement helmet for my disposable spacesuit?
Could I wear my disposable spacesuit under my Riot Armour?
If yes to both, then do that.
Yes, I am a real cheapskate.
Can I use a Thermite Cutting Charge as a melee weapon? Will I roll explosives for it?
I'll also buy 2 foam grenades, 2 cutting charges and an OMNI-scient Network observer.

Only if you buy another full suit.
The space helmet prevents anything else from being worn on the head but the rest can be worn under it.
You can try, and it will require melee to get it up against them and then explosives to use it.
Ok.
When ready to go, just post a "Ready!" action.
