Ok then. Egan, TricMagic, Nirur, Draignean, Devastator, and QuestorHank are all in. King Zultan and Coolrune are in the waitlist, but that'll have to wait for another game, if there is one.
You stomp down a featureless corridor into a large, well-lit circular room, with concrete walls and floor, and a high ceiling. Slabs of concrete slide into place behind you, sealing you in.
Five other inmates in identical suits of power armour stand around the room. Each suit is about four metres tall. The core each inmate sits in is made of dull grey metal, the surface scored and pitted with tiny scrapes, and resembles a featureless torso and head. At first, each mechsuit appears squat but humanoid, the arms and legs made out of the same metal as the core. Then everyone starts changing their module settings.
