The turn is taking a while. Not because I'm having trouble writing it, but because it is so epic.
Sensei: DESTROY ZEE WALL!
Dragnar: I drill my way through the barricade with my mining tools.
tehstefan: I get into my ultravanness, and then see what kind of stuff I can do. Don't approach turret, yet.
Frelock: See if TI can help me get some explosives, and lay them next to the barricade.
ExKirby: Say "thanks", then look for rifles, an upgrade chamber or similar, and a history book. And a toilet.
Qwertyuiopas(GM'd): Aid Tehstefan, while examining the Ultravan's scientific apparatus.
Inteuniso(GM'd): Aid Tehstefan, while developing a Scottish accent and familiarizing myself with the Ultravan's mechanical aspects.
Dragnar: 2
You approach the barricade, and take out your drill. A turret shoots it out of your hand! Roll to dodge: 1. Roll to avoid damage: 1 Correction, it shoots your hand off with the drill in it!
Hand removed! (-1 to manual dexterity)
ExKirby: 4
Looking around in the armory, you examine the implant booth first. Deciding to give this TOAST implant technology a try after all, you bring up the menu with your implant. You see the following options:
TI BASE IMPLANT 5 (!!)
TI STD MIL. IMPLANT 5 (!!)
TI AUTOMEDICAL 2
TI REMOTE VIEWING 3
TI AIM 5
TI TACTICAL+ 5
TI SENSOR 3

TI "BRASS KNUCKLES" 4
There is also a library computer, which has a user-friendly interface. You decide to begin by having the high-priority (!!) implants installed.
Oh, and a toilet. You wonder when the last time you ate or drank was anyway.
Frelock: 3
You lay down some TI "Minibombs". They're hooked up to a remote detenator.
Sensei: 1
You bang your head on the barricade.
Mild headache (roll for -1 penalty to all actions)
Tehstefan: 5
You slide into your new, much more comfortable captain's chair. Frackin' awesome. The whole thing reminds you of a really old television show...
You feel mildly afraid of some of the modifications you made. Perhaps ignoring all of those warnings wasn't the best idea. There don't seem to be any immediate consequences though, and the whole system seems to be rather content with its state.
You decide that you should assign some ranks around here. You make Qwertyuiopas science officer, Inteuniso chief engineer, and Frelock chief medical officer. Everyone seems to be happy with their lot.
Qwertyuiopas: 4
You take a gander at the ultravan's sensors and computer system. It seems that Tehstefan made far more modifications than were immediately apparent. The van looks positively spaceworthy.
Tehstefan labels you Science Officer.
Novice Science Officer(+1 to... scienceing.)
Inteuniso: 6
You look at the van's new systems. You feel a great sense of pride in knowing that you helped cobble this contraption together, and resolve to framiliarize yourself with every aspect of the machine.
After looking over and tinkering with every single part of the Ultravan, you feel like you could probably fix anything that could possibly break on this machine.
Tehstefan labels you Chief Engineer.
Novice mechanic (+1 to working with vehicles)
Chief Engineer of the ______ (+1 to working with the Ultravan's systems)
It occurs to everyone that the Ultravan probably needs a name now that you've customised it so much.

P.S. This turn contains another one of my very subtle hints. Just incase you didn't notice. Because it's so subtle. And you can't name the Ultravan Enterprise or Roscinante, because that would cause problems.
