By the way, notice that I have the best sensor skill of anyone so far? Should I be a long range guy that hangs in the back with all the sensor equipment?
What exactly does sensor skill do anyway? I've never had a lancemate raise it at all.

I'll take any mech with lots of lasers if possible.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

It increases radar range and lowers missile lock on time.

I bet you lost... your unnamed mechanic!  Or an arm-servo mechanism!

It was my mech! How could you?! If you don't like LRMs, just say so next time.

You lost a mech or you lost a mech AND its pilot?

I get it, it all makes sense now!

My pilots' brother is an unnamed mechanic, who stole Nirur Torir's mech and rode into battle with his trusty arm-servo mechanism, and was then blown up tragically to save the rest of our lives! Oh, and the explosion didn't kill him. Altair did.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

Brilliant. Altair killed a mech pilot from the future. That makes perfect sense! And is awesome!

What about the people Kratos killed?

    * Altaïr got there first, utilizing the shadow of Kratos's weapons (or Kratos himself) as cover.
Awesome. But I don't get the argument. Your synchronization doesn't drop when you are seen, only when you are hit or kill an innocent. Also that bit where you have one HP for the last fight.

Ok, you know how the screen flashes when guards see you? It's not red, but otherwise a similar flash to when you lose synch. Therefore, it is simply a smaller loss of synch, not calculable by your heath bar. It is a loss of synch nonetheless, maybe.

As for the final boss, there is a part where the Piece of Eden gets broken out, and all hell breaks loose. Apparently you get taken down to one synch bit temporarily. However, going by logic, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO ALTAIR. Therefore, he was immune to the Piece of Eden, somehow. And therefore totally awesome.
