Title: Einsteinian Roulette Early Days On ship Thread
Post by: AoshimaMichio on March 22, 2017, 12:56:44 pm

Einsteinian Roulette: Early Days

You step out of stasis pod into barracks naked, coughing up last bits stasis fluid out of your lungs. Nearby you find a box full of simple gray pants and shirts.


>Hello, and welcome to the the Hazardous Materials Requisition Corps.

> I'm the computer responsible of managing your potentially short service here, you may call me Dave. Nice to meet you. You probably have your reasons for being here, but honestly speaking I don't really care about those. What I do care about is what you will be doing here.

> Here's the deal. The HMR Corps has one mission: to gather research materials for the Magisters to aid rebuilding and strengthening United Worlds of Men to avoid next war of catastrophic proportions. What that means to you is being sent to every dangerous and twisted places we can possibly find in the pursuit of some more than likely meaningless alien can opener. And all you have to do is do that 10 times and you're free and clear, full pardon and carte blanche to do as you please. And that's the thing my newly made and no doubt transitory friend, there are only 2 ways out of the HMRC: you complete 10 missions or you die. There is no honorable discharge, if there's enough of your brains left to dump in something mechanical, we'll keep putting you out there. You complete 10 missions or you die. Any questions? No? Good.

> You may start screaming now.




Foreword

This is effective prequel to the Einsteinian Roulette, set few hundred years before events of the said game where Altered Wars is still in fresh memory, where UWM cements its power as military and governing force and re-establishing connections between lost planets.

For those more familiar with ER lore, this is somewhere around year 4100, roughly 600 years before events of piecewise's original game, before Red moon rebellions, before ascension of Armory Master and good ol' Doctor. Different time, different ship, same violent and bloody fate.



Rules

Standard RTD rules are in effect here:
[1] – Somebody is going to die. (Complete failure and bad side effects)
[2] – Traumatic amputation. (Failure)
[3] – Look on the bright side, its only radiation. (Lesser failure)
[4] – Squeaking through with most of your limbs. (Partial success)
[5] – Everything going my way. (Complete success)
[6] – Yes, I used a kilowatt laser to clean the windows in the ammunition storeroom, what of it? (Success so over the top that it has bad side effects)

Stats
You get 20 points to put in at the start and 5 for every successful mission (assuming you live through it). Every 5 points in any stat is a extra 1/3 chance of a +1, so every 15 points you get a +1 in related rolls. Having less than 3 in a stat means -1 on rolls.

Strength:	How good you are at lifting heavy things and then putting them down. Note that this stat doesn't describe your actual amount of strength; Instead it controls how well you control what strength you have. A giant robot with 0 strength will accidentally crush things it meant to lightly tap, and lightly tap things which it mean to crush.
Dexterity:	Useful in hand to hand combat, acting quickly, running, dodging and generally doing things that require speed, accuracy and coordination.
Endurance:	Useful for surviving damage and enduring effects such as poison, overmedication and drunkenness. This stat is also used for surviving lethal area of effect damage like explosions and massive amounts of gunfire. Some times the weapon that hit you might be so powerful that endurance will do nothing more than dictate whether or not your brain will remain intact enough to be revived.
Charisma:	Can be used to look cool, beautiful and generally make a good impression on people. It is also used for convincing people of things and talking with them.
Intelligence:	Your ability to analyze data, make educated deductions and knowing you really shouldn't jump into sea of molten iron even with a spacesuit. Used to operate certain weapons, like field manipulators.
Willpower:	Not losing your mind in stressfull situations and resisting all manners of alien mindrape. Used to operate certain weapons, like psychokinetic amps.
Intuition:	That six sense, tingly feeling in the back of your neck that lets you know that the meatloaf is bad or that someone's just lobbed a microton grenade into your latrine. Helpful for pulling information out of thin air.

Skills
You get 8 points to assign in the beginning and 5 with every successful mission. Every 5 points in any skill gets you a 1/3 chance of +1 to rolls, so 15 points in any skill means a +1 to all related rolls. Having less than 3 in a skill causes an automatic -1.

Conventional Weapons:	By conventional weapons we mean anything that follows the general concept of "A metal tube which you point at things and potentially lethal somethings shoot out".
Unconventional Weapons:	Covers your non-death-tube armaments. Explosives, melee weapons, field manipulators, etc.
Exotic Weapons:	Things which blur the line between weapon, augment and supernatural force. Includes various psychokinetic amps, implants, genetic augmentation and most alien weaponry.
Handiwork:	Making things, breaking things, and otherwise turning stuff from X into laserguided, thermonuclear Y.
Auxiliary Systems:	The operation of things that are not purely weapons, or of weapons that are part of large systems. Includes mecha, exosuits, space ships and other vehicles, as well as computer controlled weapons, drones and etc.
Medical Tech:	A mechanic both for people and the systems that keep people from dying in various ways.
General Knowledge:	You know about the thing at the place? Yeah, of course you do.

Professions
Note: the + and -'s are to rolls, not skill totals.

Technician:	Sometimes things needs fixing, breaking, changing or some other permutation of broke or un-broke. Or computers may need to know who's the new admin in system, or perhaps a shuttle needs some manual piloting. Thats where you, a heavy piece of steel and what you technical types like to call percussive maintainable, come in. Unfortunately all things truly weird are outside of scope of your skills. +1 Auxiliary Systems and Handiwork, -1 to Exotic Weapons and Medical Tech (and Fate).
Transhuman:	Humans are weak and squishy things that desperately need reinforcement, be it genetic, mechanical, biological or something in between. You don't really care as long as you can get it jammed into your flesh to give you superpowers. In the end of day you really didn't pay attention to more mundane parts of life, severely limiting your wealth of knowledge. +1 to Exotic weapons. -1 to General Knowledge.
Mercenary:	Even before this whole mess you made a living on killing things before they killed you. You've survived with nothing but your wits and weapon of choice and this certainly isn't going to change anything. Too bad that cocksure set of skills doesn't include patching yourself up or repairing your weapon. +1 to General Knowledge and either Conventional, Unconventional or Exotic weapons, -1 to Medical Tech and Handiwork.
Doctor:	These idiots, always getting themselves blown up and exposed to vacuum, charging in like lemmings and coming back in chunks. Good thing you're here to stitch them back together. When it comes to saving lives, no one's better than you. Too bad you're not so great with these blasted normal weapons. +1 to Medical Tech. -1 to Conventional weapons.
Pragmatist:	Everything is a weapon in hands of particularly street savvy man. No matter how unconvetional it is, you always found way to weaponize any object you could lift. Your focus on improvisation goes so far you don't even know how to use actual guns as they are intented to. +1 to a Unconventional Weapons, -1 to Conventional Weapons.
Grunt:	You always knew you'd grow up to do great things. The fact that you didn't just reinforces the knowledge that you're not all too bright. You're an ordinary shlub, just some poor jerk yanked into service because of some minor screw up. You're not a hero or a genius but you're flexible and that might be just enough to survive here. +1 to a skill of your choice, -1 to a skill of your choice.

Armory
All weapons come with 1 magazine/battery of ammunition. Extra ammunition is available for a price.
Stat requirements are not absolute. You can use Plasma Projector with without Exoskeleton level strength, but with -1 penalty and extreme problems in case poor rolls.


Conventional Weapons
In the case of lasers and some other weapons, batteries are rated by time rather then shots. A 50 second battery can be used for a continuous 50 second beam or 50, 1 second pulses or anything in between.
Strength requirement for weapons matters only if you are made of meat or lesser strength class body. Strength classes go like this:
    Human < Robot < Exoskeleton < Synthflesh < Battlesuit < Avatar

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Cost    Item
1   Hand laser
    Ammo: 50 seconds battery. 1 token.
    Description: The standard issue hand laser is a medium power laser built into the shape of a fully articulated glove and replaces the ordinary protective suit's glove. A simple weapon that requires the user to simply point his index finger at what needs to be dead and then flex his thumb to fire. Contrary to popular opinion, going "Pew Pew" while firing is not necessary. It's also generally worthless because it's so underpowered; try not to rely on it for anything important, like saving your life.

2   Laser Rifle
    Ammo: 30 seconds battery. 1 token.
    Description: An infantry weapon left over in great numbers due to its use in the Altered Wars. It's really not much more then a metal box stuffed with stripped down focusing arrays and a laser emitter, all roughly affixed to a rifle stock and trigger. It is cheap, easy to make and built under the assumption that it is going to be destroyed relatively quickly. This is the kind of weapon meant to be lost in the guts of something nightmarish, right along with its user, who is equally disposable. It has good power for its size and cost though; just keep in mind that the beam isn't visible to normal human eyes.

2   Gauss Rifle
    Ammo: 10 round magazine. 1 token.
    Requirement: 3 Strength or Robotbody
    Description: Another weapon left over in great numbers from the Altered wars. It accelerates a lump of metal to extremely high speeds via electromagnetic coils. This is not a complex idea; you point the end with the hole toward what you want dead, pull the trigger and hope whatever it is your shooting has a fatal allergic reaction to high speed metal. The internal bits might be high tech, but the general concept of the good ol' fashion death tube hasn't changed in thousands of years.

4   Tesla Arc
    Ammo: 60 seconds battery. 2 tokens.
    Requirement: 3 Strength or Robotbody
    Description: The Tesla Arc is the electrical equivalent of a flame thrower. Thermal insulation is common on space worthy gear, but electrical insulation isn't; that flame thrower won't do jack against a man in a good space suit, but putting a lightning bolt through his heart will more then do the trick. Also make sure not to stand near anything too conductive. Don't fire it while in a swimming pool.

6   Rocket Rifle
    Ammo: 50 round magazine. 3 tokens.
    Requirement: 5 Strength or Robotbody
    Description: This thing fires a lot of high speed, explosive rockets instead of bullets. It's a modified version of certain automated guns used in the Altered Wars, though much smaller and no longer controlled by computers with a perfect sense of distance. The rockets are quite powerful, like little frag grenades, but they have a downside: Their range is finicky. It takes a bit for the internal systems to activate so if you are firing at something close to you, the rockets will hit but not detonate. Too far away and they tend to just spray out all over the place, losing accuracy and hitting the ground. At the right range it's deadly, at the wrong range, you're dead.

8   Cutting Laser
    Ammo: 60 seconds battery. 2 tokens.
    Requirement: 8 Strength or Exoskeleton
    Description: Originally an industrial tool that was re-purposed because of its capacity to slice through just about anything given enough time. Works best when fired in short bursts and in a slicing motion, though more concentrated fire might be needed against resistant forms of armor. Ridiculously effective against unarmored targets though. The civilian casualties you can cause with this thing are frankly outrageous.

8   Gamma Radiator
    Ammo: Generator
    Requirement: 10 Strength or Exoskeleton
    Description: A heavy weapon encased in lead shell capable of firing concentrated beam of Gamma rays straight through walls, effectively causing immediate necrosis in living tissue and short circuiting electronics. While very effective at sterilizing hallways, just don't try sterilize yourself, time in stasis pods will take care of that.
   
10  Heavy Gauss Cannon
    Ammo: 3 round magazine. 3 tokens.
    Requirement: 10 Strength or Exoskeleton
    Description: The UWM have a very simplistic view on enhancing their weapons. This is what happens when you take the Gauss Rifle and make it several times larger and more powerful. This thing fires rounds the size of a football and was originally intended to be affixed to a vehicle and used to fire nuclear tipped shells over great distances. Now-a-days we tend to just lug them by hand and use shells made of a iron-tungsten alloy to punch very large holes in very angry things. Or teammates, depending on the skill of the user. The nuclear tipped rounds are still available though, if you're feeling lucky. As a weapon it is unquestionably effective, but also very ungainly to use because of the weight and recoil.

13  Piezoelectric Shard launcher.
    Ammo: 30 shots or 3 charged volleys tank. 4 tokens.
    Requirement: 12 Strength or Exoskeleton
    Description: There's a lot of complex crap going on here with the flash solidification of crystal matrices, electrical repulsion and sophisticated metamaterials. That's not important to you; what's important to you is that this gun shoots 2 foot long shards of crystal that impale their target and then explode into electricity. And what's better is that if you hold the trigger rather than just squeeze it, you can drain more of the tank and then fire 10 of those crystals at once. Designed to counter thick armor via extreme penetration and electrical discharge, but will be pretty damn overkill on normal opponents, and might even be less effective depending on the situation. A situational weapon, but great at what it does.

15  Plasma Projector
    Ammo: 3 rounds battery. 3 tokens.
    Requirement: 12 Strength or Exoskeleton
    Description: Otherwise known as the lavalamp cannon. This thing fires globs of high energy plasma trapped inside a bubble shaped magnetic field. When it makes contact with something solid, the object passes through the magnetic field and into the burning maelstrom inside. Leaves basketball sized, perfectly spherical holes in anything that gets in it's way until the plasma inside cools or is runs out as it melts through other matter. Because of limitations with the Field Generator, the plasma ball only moves at roughly 90-120 miles an hour, meaning people a few hundred feet away will see it coming, step to the side and then laugh at you as it drifts by. As such, make sure to take take them by surprise.

18  LESHO Rifle
    Ammo: 3 rounds magazine. 2 tokens per round.
    Requirement: 15 Strength or Synthflesh
    Description: Take a railgun, modify it for extreme accuracy, fit it to fire a quarter kiloton shell, fit that shell with miniature maneuvering rockets and a computer to control them. Then link that computer to a targeting system in the railgun so that it can guide that hypersonic chunk of metal to a target a mile and a half away within a 2 inch margin of error. That's the LESHO Rifle.

Unconventional Weapons
Field generators are devices which allow their users to manipulate certain physical constants within a defined area. The area and amplitude of manipulation can be varied, but greater sizes and magnitudes require greater mental capacity. Heating an area the size of a basketball is relatively easy, but manipulating the vectors of a few hundred pieces of supersonic shrapnel in a 10 meter sphere is gonna take some serious brain power.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1   Grenade
    Description: A very simple thing. Pull the pin, toss it where it needs to be and wait for the boom. Default type is fragmentation grenade, but high explosives and sticky, rapidly expanding and hardening foam are available as well.
    Frag, Hi-ex, and sticky. Comes in packs of 3.
   
2   Monoatomic Razor
    Requirement: 3 Dexterity
    Description: A monoatomically thin filament of metamaterial stretched across a metal frame and vibrating at a high frequency. Causes molecular breakdown upon contact. Effects vary depending on the material being cut through, but it is most often extremely violent. Word of warning: try to avoid cutting through volatile substances.

2   Eighth Kiloton Charge
    Description: A nuclear charge with an explosive force equal to 1/8 a kiloton of TNT. Can be set for either time delay or remote detonation. Good for making large holes in thick walls or large chunks of thick enemies.

3   Kinetic Amplifier
    Ammo: 50 uses battery. 1 token.
    Description: It looks like a glove! It hits like a rocket propelled semi-truck! This thing amplifies the kinetic force from your blows by up to a square of the original force without increasing the reactive force felt by the user. May not seem like much, but when 3000 newtons becomes 9000000 newtons you'll gain a new respect for exponential growth. Warning: Do not scratch your nose.

3   Microwave Field Manipulator
    Ammo: 20 uses battery. 1 token.
    Requirement: 5 Intelligence
    Description: Named more for it's effects then the actual mechanism of interaction-something about increasing intermolecular vibration-but the net result is that it makes things hot. You can heat a cup of coffee, melt steel like butter, or boil a man's brain in his skull.

5   Tesla Sabre
    Ammo: 60 seconds battery. 3 tokens.
    Requirement: 8 Dexterity
    Description: For copyright reasons we're not allowed to give you any sort of "Laser sword", but we've done one better; we've made a sword out of lightning. Basically a miniaturized Tesla Arc, firing arcs a few thousand times a second, with the arcs contained within a protective field. It doesn't so much cut as burn, electrocute, melt and generally vaporize anything it touches. Try not to trip while carrying it.

7   Kiloton Charge
    Description: It's an awful lot like the 1/8th kiloton charge, but eight times as powerful. Set for time or remote detonation, press button, duck.

8   Magnetic Field Manipulator
    Ammo: 20 uses battery. 3 tokens.
    Requirement: 8 Intelligence
    Description: Allows for the manipulation, destruction and creation of magnetic fields, and as such the manipulation of anything susceptible to magnetism. Useful for hanging your less intelligent squadmate's crayon drawings from the fridge or crushing a helmet like a grape.

10  10 Kiloton Charge
    Description: Hey, guess what? It's a bomb. Hey, guess what again; it's ten times as powerful as the kiloton charge. Hey guess what again again; don't stick it up your nose.

12  Gravity Field manipulator
    Ammo: 20 uses battery. 3 tokens.
    Requirement: 12 Intelligence
    Description: This thing in a particularly nasty piece of work. Suits can be built to protect from heat, radiation, projectiles both mundane and exotic, and just about anything else, but gravity is different story. Few enemies have personal gravity projectors to protect them from being crushed flat on a whim, and even if they do, it won't protect them from the 10 ton boulders you can toss around with this.

14  Vector Field Manipulator
    Ammo: 20 uses battery. 3 tokens.
    Requirement: 15 Intelligence
    Description: This device allows the user to manipulate the vectors of objects, from atomic particles to 100 ton chucks of flaming metal. Try not to accidentally accelerate all the blood in your body out your eyes and keep in mind you are not faster than bullet.

15  Megaton Charge
    Description: Honestly if you need this described to you, you probably shouldn't be allowed to use it.

16  Kinetic Shunt
    Ammo: 30 uses battery. 3 tokens.
    Requirement 17 Intelligence
    Description: A very specifically modified field manipulator that allows the user to absorb, store and redirect kinetic energy. Detonate a grenade in your hand, absorb the force and use it to knock down a door: catch a piece of high speed shrapnel and use the absorbed force to fire pebbles like machinegun bullets; have a squad mate beat you in the face with a hammer and use that kinetic force to mix batter for your dear sweet mother's birthday cake. The possibilities are endless! Something to note, this is actually a suit you wear.

20  Universal Field Manipulator
    Ammo: 20 uses battery. 3 tokens.
    Requirement: 20 Intelligence
    Description: This little chunk of high science can do everything the other field manipulators can do and it can do them better. It's immensely powerful but the algorithms it uses to operate are so complex that it will take a veritable genius to even use it.

Exotic Weapons
Regardless of what your local phone psychic has told you, humans do not have psychic powers. Psychokinetic amps are basically just modified field manipulators for more specific purposes. Rather then require the user to control things manually through the use of complex algorithms, psychokinetic amps are implanted directly into the user's brain and controlled via thought. Rather than circuitry, the amp uses the neural networks of the user to do the calculations; as you would expect, having parts of your brain subjugated in order to solve complex physics equations makes it rather hard to focus and function normally without a lot of willpower. Amps are mostly safe but are prone to occasional bouts of...feedback...when the user pushes them beyond his own capabilities.
You can have only 3 amps or decompensators inside your skull.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

3   Microwave Psychokinetic Amplifier
    Requirement: 3 Willpower
    Description: Pretty much identical to the Microwave Field Manipulator; lets the user heat things by means of increasing intermolecular vibration.

7   Mass Manipulation Psychokinetic Amplifier
    Requirement: 8 Willpower
    Description: A hybrid of vector and gravity field manipulators, lets the user manipulate solid matter. Useful for tearing the limbs off alien jerks or playing checkers from 40 feet away. The heavier or faster moving something is, the harder it is to control and the more concentration it will take. Precise control will also take more effort.

10  Neural Connector Psychokinetic Amplifier
    Requirement: 12 Willpower, 8 Charisma
    Description: This is basically a field manipulator tuned specifically to interact with the neural tissue of most known xenobiological archetypes. This lets the user manipulate the neurochemistry of enemies, implanting suggestions, memories, emotions and other such neurological phenomena. It also allows the user to tap into and experience the memories and emotions of said enemies. Useful for subtly convincing your enemies to shoot each other or learning the lay out of an area using the memories of its protectors. Something to keep in mind: In order for this Amp to allow the user to access the memories and emotions of a target, it temporarily converts sections of the user's brain into replicas of the target's. This process is usually safe, but the weak willed my experience a feedback effect and have their original neurochemistry overridden.

12  Gravity Manipulator Psychokinetic Amplifier
    Requirement: 12 Willpower
    Description: Identical to the Gravity Field Manipulator but in Psychokinetic Amplifier form. Allows the user to manipulate gravity.

15  Organochemistry Overrider Psychokinetic Amplifier
    Requirement: 15 Willpower, 12 Charisma
    Description: An upgraded version of the Neural Connector that allows the user to freely manipulate the body chemistry of the target. A boring man would simply stop the target's heart or melt their brain, while a clever man could hijack an alien's body and pilot it around or even completely rewrite their brains and turn them into passive drones. Feedback with this Amp tends to have rather messy results.

17  Vector Manipulator Psychokinetic Amplifier
    Requirement: 17 Willpower
    Description: You could probably guess this, but it's identical to the Vector Field Manipulator. Lets the user manipulate the vectors of anything from atomic particles to large chunks of homicidal metal.

20  Matter Converter Psychokinetic Amplifier
    Requirement: 20 Willpower
    Description: By tearing atomic structures down to their component particles and then rearranging them this Amp allows the user to literally transform one configuration of matter into another. Need a half a pound of C4? Convert a rock.  Need a wrench? Convert a rock! Need to halt the advances of a forty foot tall xeno? Convert it's brain into a rock! Alternately, convert it's brain into a 10 kiloton charge to confuse and vaporize it's friends. Keep in mind that this thing is gonna need a lot of gray matter to function, so don't go using to much or you may end up converting your own brain into a rock.
   
20  Universal Psychokinetic Amplifier
    Requirement: 25 Willpower
    Description: The Psychokinetic Amplifier version of the Universal Field Manipulator, it can do anything other amplifiers can do, and it can do them better.

Auxiliary Systems

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1   Scout Eye
    Description: A small, single use drone and control pad. Little more then a propulsion system with a camera attached; designed for scouting and reconnaissance. These things have the durability of a cardboard box but they're fast and their camera lets you get a good look at things till the drone is inevitably downed by automatic turrets or a stiff breeze. Comes in packs of three.

2   Cutting Torch
    Ammo: 10 minutes canister. 1 token.
    Description: A powerful chemical laser with an extremely short diffusion range. Great for cutting through walls, floors or other pesky barriers between you and your goal.

5   Jump Rocket pack
    10 charges
    Description: A backpack system using an electrically powered repulsion jet to propel the user. It's not capable of actual flight, and it needs some time to recharge after each jump, but it will let you jump 20 meters into the air. Just be sure to think about how you're gonna land.

9   Exoskeleton
    Special: +1 to strength rolls.
    Description: Not much more then a framework of metal and actuators hooked up to the negative feedback system. Amplifies the strength of the user but does not provide any sort of protection. Oh and it has a nasty habit of malfunctioning and twisting limbs at odd angles if it's control computer is damaged.

10  GHG Ball
    Ammo: Single use
    Description: Have you ever wanted more powerful body, but didn't want to abandon your fleshy desires in pursue of power? Well, this genie in a ball is your solution! Press the button, state your wish and get a pill that transforms your body according your wishes. Probably. No warranty.

10  Single Seat Rocket Bike   
    Requires: 5 Aux
    Description: Though it's called a rocket bike, it more closely resembles a rocket armchair: a single bucket seat surrounded by a metal skeleton onto which dozens of directional rocked pods are mounted. Fast and extremity agile, this system allows a single person to zip across the battlefield at high speeds as well as fly high above it, offering information, directing troop movements or sniping from a half mile up. The down side of this being that the machine lacks any sort of armor or protective systems, leaving both it and it's pilot completely exposed. Has a habit of becoming violently unpredictable when damaged.
    Has enough fuel for 40 kilometers.

12  Mobile Drone Platform
    Requires: 5 Aux
    Description: A pallet of 10 softball sized drones and a control pad for them. Each drone is equipped with a relatively low power laser, a camera and a computer just smart enough to carry out simple orders. Can be deployed one at a time, all at once or anything in between. Useful for a number of situations, from scouting to backing up full fledged assaults, but don't expect to win a battle with them alone.

14  Gunner Bot
    Ammo:50 round magazine
    Special: Computer Controlled: This weapon will fight on it's own.
    Description: A coil gun on a quadrupedal robotic mount, equipped with an array of sensors and a rudimentary AI. Deployed in the field and mostly used to guard the interior of buildings or provide supporting fire. They're smart enough to patrol an area or follow a man around but thats about it. Still, if you need a mobile, high caliber rifle with the intelligence of a clever dog, this will fill that need.

15  ARSC
    Ammo: Fuel good for 100 kilometers.
    Requires: 15 Aux
    Description: Affectionately labeled the "Tin can", this thing is a mobile bunker on rocket pods. Designed to bulldoze it's way through defenses at high speeds, it's often used to blitz through automated anti-personnel defenses and ram straight into target structures, allowing it's 5 occupants to storm guarded compounds without having to deal with the outer defenses. Provides protection from most low to medium power weapons, but don't expect it to shrug off a 10 kiloton charge.

20  Battle Suit
    Requires: 15 Aux
    Special: +1 to Strength and Endurance rolls.
    Description: The Battle Suit is basically a Mk III suit but much more heavily armored and less maneuverable. It's equipped with jump rocket system to help with clearing large jumps (10 charges), but it lacks the flight capabilities of the Mk III. It makes up for this by being substantially more durable, turning its wearer into a walking tank. Don't expect it to make you untouchable though. I mean, come on, marine, do you want to live forever?

40  Avatar of War
    Requires: 15 Aux, 5 Will, 5 End, 2 Legs
    Special: +1 to all rolls, same effects as CamEye and extra +1 to Strength and Endurance rolls
    Description: This isn't your ordinary exosuit, this is the thing of legend, reserved for generals and war heroes. Standing 5 meters tall, cloaked in heavy plate armor over pseudo-organic synthflesh and armed with a built in Coilgun (50 rounds), Gravity Manipulator Psychokinetic Amplifier, and Tesla Sabre (10 minutes), this walking embodiment of war amplifies every aspect of the pilot from the physical to the mental. It also requires the user to be semi-permanently entombed in a casket of CFC's with the majority of their nervous system slaved to the suit's systems, an organic controller wrapped within a nearly unstoppable machine of war.

   
Medical Tech

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1   Anti-shock Meds
    Description: A capsule of anti-shock medication designed to be slotted into a suit's med intake port and injected by the suit itself. Comes in pack of 6.

1   Pain Killers
    Description: A capsule of pain numbing medication designed to be slotted into a suit's med intake port and injected by the suit itself. Comes in pack of 6.

1   Coagulant Boosters
    Description: A capsule of anti-bleeding medication designed to be slotted into a suit's med intake port and injected by the suit itself. Comes in pack of 6.

2   Medi-foam
    Description: Spray into wound and pray it closes (which it, miraculously enough, does!). Useful for sealing large, gaping wounds. A single can has enough medi-foam to cover up a single giant whole-torso wound (like if someone cut your guts out, and you had to speedily close the gap), a series of small wounds and scrapes, or anything in between. Comes as part of the Advanced kit, but who buys those anyway? 4 uses.
   
2   Battle Stims
    Special: Gives the user a dynamic +1/-1 to their actual roll.
    Description: These cocktails of delicious synthetic performance enhancers come in many different flavors, one for each of your stats and skills to make you perform better. Poor man's decompensator for that one occasion where you need to impress your girl.

3   Emergency Kit
    Description: Allows the user to fix any number of  minor suit malfunctions or simple injuries. Not effective for major failures, organic or artificial, but for small fixes it's got everything you'll need. 5 uses.

5   Pressure Tent
    Description: A reusable, self building, pressurized tent designed to be deployed during a mission in order to provide a relatively safe environment where more complex suit repair and medical aid can be carried out. And when we say safe, we mean pressurized and filled with breathable gasses, not armored, so don't go deploying it under fire and hiding behind it.

7   Advanced kit
    Description: It's a lot like the ordinary emergency kit, but more advanced. Used to deal with bigger problems, like broken servos or herniated major organs. 5 uses

Armors

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1   Mk I Suit
    Description: A very simple thing, it's basically a light spacesuit with a hard metal fishbowl helmet. Has very good insulating properties (protects against heat, vacuum) but no armor whatsoever. Comes equipped with some basic tools and gadgets. So, it's not that great, but at least it keeps the void out. You get one of these for free.

3   Civic Defender's Longcoat
    Description: A piece of protective clothing resembling a trenchcoat. Reactive armor, soft as silk until hit at high speed, then harder than steel for an instant. Gives decent protection against small arms fire (mostly kinetic projectiles) while not impeding movement, at an affordable price. Does not protect against lasers or other sorts of attacks (at least no more than a piece of cloth does).

5   Mk II Suit
    Description: An improved version of the standard issue Mk I suit. Generally streamlined and less bulky, it also includes a trauma apprehension system to drastically increase the survivability of the user. Strategically placed airtight irises close to halt suit decompression and sever damaged tissue while internal systems cauterize injuries and administer a wide variety of drugs to do anything from numb pain to put the user into a death like state to survive fatal injuries while waiting for extraction. Long story short, this thing will will keep you alive, even if it has to lop off all your limbs to do it.

13  Mk III suit
    Special: +1 to strength and endurance rolls.
    Description: Take a Mk II suit, equip it with an exoskeleton strength augmentation system, a dozen different small maneuvering rockets and two large articulated "wing" rocket pods and you've got the Mk III suit. The pinnacle of traditional suit design, it grants the user enhanced strength, endurance and speed, and allows them to fly above the battlefield with a level of maneuverability that outshines even a rocket bike.
    Rocket pods good for 20 kilometers.

Implants and gene therapies

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

5   CamEyes implant
    Description: Replaces your old seeing balls with new, high tech, electronic ones. New vision filters include: Infrared, x-ray, motion tracking, 2-10X zoom, and radiation scanning. Also, it gives you creepy, unblinking, solid black eyes. Just a heads up.

5   Decompensator Type A
    Description: Decompensators are useful implants which can reduce your chances of going overboard with a particular stat or skill. They're shoved inside your skull, much like amps, which means that they take a brain slot (remember, you only have 3 brain slots). This cheapest variant has 33% change to reduce overshoots to 2-5 range.

8   Synth-Limb
    Special: +1 to rolls doing things with replaced limb.
    Description: A synthetic prosthetic grown using electroreactive semi-organics and... that's all going right over your head huh? It's a synthflesh limb. You can use it to replace a limb you carelessly misplaced or one you just don't like. Unlike your squishy, imperfect limbs, this limb will never tire or waiver, and is also significantly stronger. Any spacesuits you use will be modified to allow the limb to be kept outside the suit.

8   Decompensator Type B
    Description: Much like basic version, this too reduces overshoots to a 3, 4, or 5, but does so with impressive 50% rate.

10  Robot body
    Description: Would you put your brain in a robot body? Hell yes you'd put your brain in a robot body. Why replace bits and pieces of that tired organic shell when you can just do away with the whole thing in one go? No more space suits, no more bleeding to death from every little bullet, no more explosive decompression, no more pain! So you'll never feel the warmth in another person's touch ever again and be trapped as a slowly decaying, practically vestigial organic part within a metal tomb. So what? Robot body!
    The standard military grade robot body that ARM members are put into when their fleshy body is mangled beyond repair.

10  Fibroblast Enhancement Therapy
    Special: Injuries heal without complication. Never miss a mission due to recovery.
    Description: A lot of people, upon hearing that they've been genetically enhanced to have superhuman healing capabilities, will immediately do something foolish. This could mean anything from reckless behavior to shooting themselves in the foot. Just to be clear to those of you who have read too many comic books: This makes you heal faster and better than a normal person, it does not let you regenerate limbs or heal fatal wounds nearly instantly. A bit of shrapnel through the brain/heart/lung/spine will still ruin the last few seconds of your life.

13  Trauma Partition Membrane Therapy
    Special: Traumatic injuries no longer cause pain, shock or bleeding.
    Description: This gene therapy causes the body to deal with traumatic injuries in a new way, through the use of internal partitioning membranes which effectively sever all fluid and chemical transmissions to and from the damaged area. Effectively, the damaged part is severed from the body without actually being cut away. You'll still have to drag that broken leg, but at least it won't hurt.

13  Decompensator Type C
    Description: The second best type, which reduces overshoots to a 5 every other attempt. Almost universally useful for every malpracticioner.

14  Neurophotonic Spinal Column
    Special: Gives the patient one chance to reroll a 2 or lower.
    Description: Nerves are nice and all but why transmit those neuroimpulses using something so slow as chemical reactions when you can use pseudo-organic fiberoptics to do it at the speed of light! Greatly increases reaction speed, so now you can execute your poorly reasoned plans all the quicker! There's the small matter of us having to tear your spine out and replace it, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's worth it.

20  Decompensator Type D
    Description: Perfect decompensator, it will always reduce overshoots to a 5. Nobody buys anything except this variant, and that's pretty smart.

20  Synthflesh body
    Special: +1 to all Strength, Dexterity and Endurance rolls. Simultaneous effects of synth-limbs, CamEyes, and Neurophotonic Spinal Column.
    Description: In case of extreme narcism and transhumanism you should consider purchasing synthflesh body. It gives you perfect statuesque alabaster body every bodybuilder will be jealous of. It is freakishly strong, fast, agile and though, it also improves your peformance on almost all fields! Self improvement doesn't get any better from here!

Welcome.

You presumably get dressed up before following lines painted on hallway floors towards armory, like a moth towards fire, hopelessly attracted by its potential for massive destruction. Armory itself is inaccessible, but you deliver your order to the person sitting behind the kiosk window. She's hairless, tall and very statuesque woman wearing green overalls. Her skin is harsh white, musculature extremely well defined to the point of near ridiculous levels. Her eyes are pitch black, indicating CamEyes implants. She puts down the datapad she was tapping, takes your tokens you find from your pockets and fetches you a rifle and magic calculator sliding them over the counter wordlessly before focusing on the datapad again.

"Here you go."

Getting to briefing room is as simple as walking from one room into another on opposite side of hallway. The briefing room is very simple, a whole lot of painfully simplistic metal benches welded and bolted into floor with hundreds bolts. Clearly it's not intented for multihour conferences. Infirmary side of the room is empty of benches and contains inactive holographic projector.

"There's a television in mess hall as well as number of computers with internet connection and virtual reality machines. You should be able to find movies for your tastes easily."

You retreat into corner and read the paper. It's basically a comic about stick figures teaching basic firearm safety and usage; which end is the dangerous one, where to keep fingers and how to castrate mutants with three simple steps. Very educational.

Infirmary is pristine place. Clean, white, rows of empty beds surrounded privacy curtains, and very few living things. Three nurses sit around a table on back chatting quietly and furiously tapping their datapads. You approach them waving your ticket. One of them inspects the ticket, drags you onto closest bed, pulls syringe pistol from her belt and presses it against your neck.

"Do you want to stay awake for the procedure or do you rather go under?" she asks smiling.

Gauss rifles are in high demand today, the armory master have to retrieve new one for you from back room and restock armory kiosk already. Mass murder manipulator received. However none of the medical or aux stuff is free, nor is any armor except that one Mk I suit in your personal locker. I don't know what gave you that idea.

Quote from: Egan_BW on March 25, 2017, 04:13:32 pm

"Awake please!"

[INSTALL]

The nurse, no, actually Doctor Rush now that you glance at name printed on chest of her white jacket smiles slightly, although her smile doesn't quite reach her pitch black eyes. "Sure." She taps her syringe pistol and moment later you feel a tiny prick on your neck. Five seconds later you are completely paralyzed and numb. Rush and another nurse rolls the bed through back doors into long hallway and past number of doors before pushing you into one seemingly random.

This room is just as white and perfectly clean as everything else. It's mostly empty too, except a computer display on side wall and another on a rolling table, and surrounding operation table is a whole array of mechanical arms ending with wide range of tools such as vacuum tube, circular sawblade and whole array of others you have no idea about. Doc and nurse lift your limp carcass on the operation table, secure restraints tightly so your head and rest of body stays tightly in place. Doc goes to the wall display out of your field of vision while nurse drags the mobile TV in front of you. The  TV shows you, giving you perfect view of entire operation that will take place.

"We used to have one inmate here who liked to see all operations performed on him with great detail. Boys in maintenance installed these cameras and displays in most of operation rooms just for him. Unpleasant fetish if you ask me, but I'm not one to judge. Let's start then."

[Will: 5]
[End: 3-1]

Mechanical arms whirl in motion. You remain completely unfazed when vacuum tube sucks all your hairs out of the way and a scalpel makes three cuts on your scalp and pulls the flap of skin aside revealing skull underneath. Edges of cuts are quickly coated with some transparent paste that prevents blood making a mess. Sawblade moves in, cuts neat square section of skull out revealing your soft and so fragile brain beneath. Camera moves to display how a very thin black box is secured tightly against the cut out piece of skull and then the whole piece is put back in. You promptly pass out.

An indeterminate time later you wake up in infimary. Nurse instructs you to avoid head injuries until you have to go stasis again and escorts you out. You wander over to briefing room where everybody else is waiting.







> Alright cookies. This is not the mission site we were originally going to, but since our travel route took us through this system we might as well lend few expendable hands to local authorities to make their job a little bit easier.

Holographic projector activates and displays a six legged ovoid creature with a heavy brownish gray shell, small mass of tentacle arms and a great sucking maw of teeths.

> So, are you familiar with Vexile? Those six legged xeno pests that that eat everything and shit almost nothing? That plague almost all Tomb worlds and large transport ships? Literal garbage disposal system in few worlds? Well, one of the big corporate freighters that arrived into this system just before us has slightly unusual problem with them. Unusual is the keyword here; normally Vexiles are pretty content with eating whatever trash they find and basically never attack humans. However Vexiles on this ship have turned exceptionally aggressive and in unusually large numbers. They have attacked the crew, eaten good number of them and blocked rest from ship command room.

> Your task here is simple. You will be dropped near one of the service airlocks, you get in, find and secure cargo hangar for more professional pest exterminators to get in en masse and kill as many Vexiles as you can in progress. Figuring out what made them so aggressive in first place or where they came from would be nice bonus, but not exactly required. Keep in mind this is a corporate ship, so try to keep looting and structural damage in minimum.

> If you have no questions to ask or weapons to buy, then get into the shuttle and pray you won't be eaten alive.

The shuttle is neat teardrop shaped and coated with reflective metal. Looks really fancy. Before getting into shuttle you stop to find your locker and wear your space suit. Because it would be a shame if the shuttle opened into cold hard vacuum.

You have no tokens left for anything else. Gauss rifle was 2 tokens and manipulator was 3, so those very effectively ate all your purple casino chips.

You head to briefing room and find out people are already filing out and to hangar.

You get three for a token, so I assumed you wanted spend two tokens. Not that it's a bad idea to buy in bulk, those scout eyes are notoriously flimsy. No doubt you will destroy at least half of them before mission is over.

You also wake up in infirmary. Your entire lower body is in cast. Nurse hands you a bottle of painkillers and tells you to pop them whenever it gets too painful. The bed you are resting on has joystick so you can roll around on it.

Corpse turned. Doctors give you an injection of something nice and when you wake up you have nice robotic legs. Your fleshy bits are replaced from knee down with ones of shiny chrome and bundled black muscle. They are heavier too, so you better get used them.

Your right leg is replaced from hip with robotic version. Difference with old is considerable, it even weights more than the other one. Getting used to such disparency might take some time. Your dominant hand is in cast. Apparently they also gave you new metal trigger finger but it's under the cast so you can't go poking people with it.

Assume yourself hobbling to briefing room too.




> There are few things I could say about this mission, but "good work" is not one of them. Seriously. As fun as that was to watch, amount of damage you caused to yourself compared to what vexiles did is staggering. But I suppose that is to be expected from deathrow inmates. Anyway. The corpses you bought back were quite helpful in figuring out what the artifact did. It would have been much easier if someone hadn't broken it in first place.

Apparently the device caused wide range of mutations, but few consistent ones were related to adrenaline glands, brains, and metabolism making vexiles generally very angry, strong, and hungry. Since their metabolism was greatly accelerated their usual instinct of avoiding potential danger was supressed. In theory it should have same effect on humans too, so except some fun additions to armory later.


> Now, the payout:

Joanna: You didn't do much, but you didn't fuck up anything either. You kicked Vik and got artifact in pieces. 8 tokens in total.

Bastien: Keep up that and I will ban you from armory. 5 tokens.

Citotp: Aside hurting your teammates you didn't do anything. 5 tokens.

Grits: I'm kinda torn how much I should give you. On one hand you were fairly competent, killed all vexiles on single sweep, located the artifact and recovered it, but on the other hand you also broke the ship and erased plenty of evidence. I guess I'll give you 8 tokens, mostly of it comes from the corpse collection and artifact pieces.

Vik: Keep your hands off from cutting torch from now on. 5 tokens.

Filgres: 6 tokens on courtesy of the corpse.


> And that's that. Don't loiter around too long, we will leave soon for our next mission.

Go to briefing room, poke about on computer to make up a program later for the vr combat sim, have it set to run all female crew members, set variables lust: max; preferemnce: either; clothing: none.

(Well I realized after posting this that it is still a combat sim so they'd still fight. but I am perfectly fine with it in this little act of immaturity.)

After receiving your tokens you head straight into VR.

[Aux: 3-1] You don't have slightest clue how to modify their variables or even how to get their models in...

One is in VR and another on motored gurney. Would the one in VR even notice? I mean it's a simple bed on wheels, not a rocket propelled semi truck.

[Vik Dex: 5]
[Citotp Dex: 4-1]
[Con: 6+1]
[Citotp End: 4-1]
[Joanna Dex: 4]

Having failed to satisfy his lust in VR Vik takes VR helmet off and looks around. He notices Citotp on hospital bed speeding towards him, murder in his eyes. Vik thinks the bony person may perhaps know too much and decides it's time to silence him. By lasering his head off. With fast movement Vik flings out his laser rifle, steps on side of the bed (not that it's difficult or anything) and swings the laser over Citotp's chest, cutting him and the bed in half right through his heart. Swing of the laser goes a little too high and seriously menaces Joanna that's about to enter rec room too. She notices the event unfolding and only her fast reflexes saves her from being cut half vertically.

"Hey, what the fuck?!"

"It's self defense." Vik shrugs. "Completely legal."

Vik grabs now dead Citotp by hair, leaving the lower body and arms behind, and drags him to armory leaving a trail of blood on floor. The armory master raises her gaze from datapad and frowns at the blood trail.

"Return policy for dipshits is to throw them into infirmary. Two tokens for manipulator, one token for both rifle and torch."

Drag his corpse back to the infirmary, take the hospital gourney though, might use it later, also keep his arms and lower body.

The corpse doesn't oppose your loan application, so you secure funds for commercialism. Laser rifle obtained. Exoskeleton will be delivered to your locker before next mission.

((I did a mission synopsis. I'll work on a full summary, and shove the synopsis into the wiki when I get home.))

Spoiler: Mission 1 (click to show/hide)

A bunch of suicidally stupid death row inmates are sent to figure out what the heck happened to a corporate ship where the trash disposal aliens got violent. Things are real quiet and shockingly, everyone gets in alive and the only injuries are pride. They go through the ship, so far, so not dead. Eventually they find some bite-shaped evidence that something is wrong and hear some skittering in the walls. Then, we have our first amp overshoot! A dude gets his feet melted and is somehow still conscious. Unfortunately five tokens cannot buy enough medicine to fix melted feet, so the medic is no help, and the man is relegated to ‘meat-shield’ and ‘bait’. With one man effectively dead, the aliens make their first appearance. Then after that a second appearance as the party scrambles into a blast door. At this point there are three serious injuries on the six people who entered the mission and the aliens have not once reached them. They reach the command area and accidentally vent the ship, which neatly solves the infestation. Mission complete, and on to find the source. A prick dies to vacuum and people head off to find the source. As radiation rises they find it, and while considering what to do with it some guy just cutting-torch’s it to bits and then accidentally vacuum’s himself. At least it’s easy to get the bits into the shuttle.

Total casualties:
2 Temp-Dead
2 Crippled
2 Healthy
The aliens did not actually reach the party once.

Post by: Twinwolf on May 11, 2017, 02:42:06 pm

(And here's the proper Summary:

Spoiler: Mission 1 (click to show/hide)

A corporate merchant ship that’s in the system has gotten screwed when the garbage eating aliens, vexiles, got violent and started eating people. The solution? Send in the expendable death row inmates, of course.

There were three goals to the mission:
- Secure the cargo holds for actual military people
- Kill bugs
- Optionally, find the source of the infestation and why they’re so murder-y
- Keep structural damage to a minimum

No points for guessing what they fail horribly at, but you can get a ‘captain obvious’ hat!

The party consisted of:
-Bastien (played by AbstractTraitorHero) the dangerously unqualified prick, with a gauss rifle and a microwave field manipulator.
-Citotp (played by Egan_BW), who is oddly charming and wielding dangerous space magic.
-Filgres (Toaster), an enthusiastic guy with a kinetic amp.
-Grits (Pancaek), a technician who was carrying a gauss rifle too.
-Joanna (Twinwolf), a medic with a monoatomic razor.
-Vik (spazyak), somewhat qualified in a couple things with a laser rifle and microwave manipulator.

First thing comes first: Getting on-board. The shuttle pulls up beside the ship and the party hops out of the shuttle desperately trying not to think about the chance of getting instantly murdered by micrometeorites. Bastien manages to get to the airlock and open it, and then inside safely despite thinking the ceiling was the floor and the floor was the ceiling, followed by Vik catapulting himself into a wall, Grits falls on his face as he enters the airlock, Joanna gracefully lands like a space fairy, and Citotp stumbles. Filgres follows shortly after. Bastien takes the opportunity to flirt with the single woman in the sausage fest who studiously ignores him because it’d be bad for a medic to be pissed at one of her charges.

The group enters the ship proper, and proceeds through the ship together. They head towards the target location. They start seeing signs of the infestation - footprints, pieces of torn clothing and personal effects, and teeth. Oh, and they can hear skittering feet in the walls. For no apparent reason, Citotp has the wonderful idea of burning a pile of those things. First overload of the game! Citotp is brought to his knees holding his head as he desperately hopes his brain doesn’t melt out of his ears, but he got the trash! He also got the passcard the group needed to continue! And less importantly, Filgres’ lower body! The fire alarm blares and foam falls on everyone. With Filgres officially dead weight without any outside intervention, the aliens choose this time to show up.

People open fire. Grits displays competence and shoots some foam-covered bugs. Bastien displays his total non-qualification and just shoots Vik, proving that just because you’re allies with the stupid prick does not mean you are safe from him. Vik manages to fire, swinging his laser rifle wildly and slicing a few bugs. And walls. And the reactor. He gets shocked by Dave for his trouble. Textbook ER encounter: Friendly fire and collateral damage! Surely, a good sign for the game.
Joanna uses her monoatomic razor as a makeshift scalpel on Vik as she chops away the infected flesh and dumps a bunch of medifoam on it, sealing the wound and the hole it left in the suit. Wound count - 2 horrible wounds without the enemy even reaching the party.

Filgres embraces life as a backpack as the team moves on, reaching a reinforced door for the cargo bay. Before anyone can consider caution, Vik decides to open the door. For a moment, the inmates stare at the bugs. The thirty alien garbage-disposal turned murder-machines, with multiple mutations, stare back. Dave helpfully chimes in that finding their source - and the source of mutations - is no longer optional. Vik very, very slowly closes the door. Then people move and the
vexiles attack, at which point Vik decides ‘fuck slow’ and slams the button. The group decides to vent them from the bridge. The party retreats back, towards the bridge, and is stopped by a blast door. This is when a small avalanche of bugs decides now is omnom time.

The team opens fire, and a couple of shots manage to take out many of them because gauss rifles on unarmored targets, and the bugs take a break so they can eat each other. Vik manages to melt a small wall of them, giving plenty of time. Bastien, deciding that the situation is not adequately fucked, decides firing a gauss from the hip is smart. The prick loses his finger as the gun leaps from his hand, and when it collides with the blast door it fires again, shredding his thigh. The door is opened, the party dragged through, and the door closed again as they enter the crew quarters. They can hear screaming in the distance (apart from Bastien).

Briefly considering practicing medicine with a laser rifle and thinking better of it, Vik heads towards the screaming. There’s a crew member in the middle of being eaten, which Vik remedies by shooting the five Vexiles and also making the man a quadruple amputee - which is better than singular dead at least. Joanna treats Bastien enough that he isn’t in immediate danger of death, and despairs at the idiocy around her and the lack of proper medical facilities.

The party files into an elevator, after encountering more bugs and causing more collateral damage. They drop too quick, although nobody quite dies. Joanna continues to be a space fairy, most of the others are fine, Citotp gets knocked the heck out and a bunch of leg bones.

Grits gets to work on the infestation problem. This ‘work’ involves venting the entire ship besides the bridge, killing any vexiles and any non-stasis’d survivors almost instantly. He then vents life support too, dooming the ship and further destroying any chance of the group pretending they were causing reasonable collateral damage. Now, the party only has to find the source of the vexiles, without anything actually dangerous to nom them! Except for the cold vacuum of space and the fact three of the suits have tears, albeit tears sealed with medifoam.

Grits keeps on working, looking through the video logs, finding some clues - the first deaths happened only a day out of stasis. Then he accidentally deletes 90% of the logs. Doesn’t matter much in the short term, as the party heads off to finish the mission. Bastien dies due to a hole in his suit (self-inflicted). They dump the dead and crippled into the shuttle, before heading to cargo bay 1B, and their suits yell at them that their risk of cancer has gone up drastically on account of a sudden rise in radiation.

The people who can walk find the source in the cargo bay, some unidentifiable machinery, as two cripples fight over rope. As Grits and Joanna try to consider a reasonable way to move the thing, Vik decides that the best course of action is to completely destroy the thing and cut it to bits, and while he’s congratulating himself he forgets to turn off his cutting torch, and subsequently burns a hole in his suit. It turns out that medifoam cannot withstand the heat of a torch made for cutting metal to bits.

The bits weren’t worth half as much as the thing would be intact, but now it could be brought back to the shuttle - which the two people capable of walking did, along with the corpse and the cripples, and several vexile corpses.

Casualty Tally:
Bastien and Vik: Dead
Filgres and Citotp: Cripples
Joanna and Grits: Alive
The Ship: Wrecked beyond repair
All wounds were self inflicted or friendly fire

ER’s back, folks

Any additions?

E: Fun fact, as I edit in the new pages for ED's mission synopsis and the mission summary itself, the wiki now has 666 pages. Can someone check over the pages I made? It's the first time I've done that))

Maybe put the short synopsis on the same page as the summary? Each having a dedicated page seems a bit redundant. Alternatively, make a mission overview page like we had for normal ER missions and stick the synopsis in there.

((I did a mission synopsis. I'll work on a full summary, and shove the synopsis into the wiki when I get home.))

Spoiler: Mission 1 (click to show/hide)

A bunch of suicidally stupid death row inmates are sent to figure out what the heck happened to a corporate ship where the trash disposal aliens got violent. Things are real quiet and shockingly, everyone gets in alive and the only injuries are pride. They go through the ship, so far, so not dead. Eventually they find some bite-shaped evidence that something is wrong and hear some skittering in the walls. Then, we have our first amp overshoot! A dude gets his feet melted and is somehow still conscious. Unfortunately five tokens cannot buy enough medicine to fix melted feet, so the medic is no help, and the man is relegated to ‘meat-shield’ and ‘bait’. With one man effectively dead, the aliens make their first appearance. Then after that a second appearance as the party scrambles into a blast door. At this point there are three serious injuries on the six people who entered the mission and the aliens have not once reached them. They reach the command area and accidentally vent the ship, which neatly solves the infestation. Mission complete, and on to find the source. A prick dies to vacuum and people head off to find the source. As radiation rises they find it, and while considering what to do with it some guy just cutting-torch’s it to bits and then accidentally vacuum’s himself. At least it’s easy to get the bits into the shuttle.

Total casualties:
2 Temp-Dead
2 Crippled
2 Healthy
The aliens did not actually reach the party once.

(If I botched the count please tell me and I'll edit it)

Thank you. I moved mission summary over to the actual misison page and fixed formatting issues. Have a token for your work.

Bastien's eyebrow...lightly twitches as he messes with his blond hair giving a small huff.
Retrieve my damn gun. Go to Vr. Prepare combat simulation with me and my current equipment agasint the rest of my missions team except joanna they will be my medic and also be inexplicably attracted to me and constantly brag about how great I am
. I start in a fortified position with johana they start in a killing field with me having clear shots at them. All npcs start with previous mission equipment except joanna who is in a bikini but with the rest of her mission equipment.

It appears someone died very recently in the rec room. Judging by amount of blood they has some very serious wounds before expiring. There's also some guy you don't remember seeing before in corner worshipping his rifle.

The VR program makes a mistake while you enter simulation settings and so the situation ends with everybody against you. They shoot your lombs off and burn stumps with lasers and space magic. Almost like reality.

Unaware of the somewhat disturbing simulation Bastien is attempting to set up, Joanna heads into a VR thingy and pokes around the programs. Any pre-set ones that seem interesting?

VR seems to have mostly games. Battle of Hexbarax, Punch Many Things, Poacher and Duel. Hexbarax and Poacher may offer you chance to play your profession straight, but you may also want to let it loose and just punch or shoot things.

The guy manning R&D kiosk seems to be so focused on his datapad he doesn't even notice you before you knock the window. He listens your request, takes a look at the arm and asks for more details.

"Do you want it on four wheels like a little car? Or do you want it to crawl on floor with its fingers? A.I. or purely remote controlled? Cameras? Microphones? Maybe speakers? Fitting weapons will be hard, but a lower power laser could be added. It also needs protection against adverse atmospheric effects, perhaps some low level armor..."

You can tell he's getting little side tracked here, already drawing plans for weaponized detachable hands.

Her first match up was a little girl? She considered for a moment. While she normally would have a problem with this, it was just a simulation. Ask her to punch a real little girl, heck no, but a virtual one doesn't really matter.

Punch the girl in the face. Because Joanna probably can't reach her gut without bending down.

You buy the suit and try it out. Soft soles of the boots make tapdancing considerably harder. And "soft" here means softer than your new metal bones.

Few tokens change owner and transaction is memorized. Better keep the medic alive so you can collect the tokens back later.

Bastien and Stepan are forcibly escorted into stasis by the armory master. I can't kill braindead people just because they are braindead.


Waking up from stasis feels like it happens right after getting in, you don't really even notice subjective weeks spent unconscious. Rushed by Dave's omnipresent voice everybody gets quickly cleaned up, dressed and into the briefing room.

> Our planned trip here got briefly interrupted thanks to vexiles, but here we are finally. Our target is a planet known as Frone, something we call a de-civilized world. After The Altered Wars started this planet lost its connection to rest of mankind. At some point between that and its rediscovery by UWM fleets they bombed themselves back to stone age. Funny what how four millenias worth of progress can completely disappear under 300 years.

> Now, records of the events right before Altered Wars are little spotty at best, but our glorious Magistars believe it was highly likely Altered strand was present here too. Despite of that planet seems to be rather lively which means early Altered were either swiftly defeated or our esteemed Magistars are wrong, which never happens by the way. So you should be able to see why Magistars are interested of this planet. Locals are no help in this matter; at best their oral history tells of demons rising to defeat their arrogant and mighty ancestors. Or so our brave culture exchange students do tell us.

> Anyway. What we are here for is a certain military bunker with still functional defense system, which puts it firmly into top five most interesting places on the planet. Because if its defense turrets still works, then it most likely has functional mainframe and most intact set of data anyone can possibly find on this planet. You will go in, disable defenses, find mainframe or some sort of data storage and download everything you can. Keeping its powersource and computer system functional would be really nice because less expendable people will scour the place more thoroughly after you are done.

"Check the list (http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/ED_Armory). Laser and gauss rifles are good cheap basic weapons and will serve longer than you do. Tesla arc is good if you want some extra oomph. Or tesla sabre if you think tesla arc is too big. Mk II if all you want is to stay alive long enough to collect tokens from your first mission."

The food dispenser is positioned between line of VR machines and kitchen equipment. It has a bunch of unlabeled buttons for main course, side dish, drinks and dessert. You poke the buttons randomly. Your main dish is steaming bluish slab of something meat like coated with yellow grains. Side dish consists of pale yellow mush. Your drink is dark, lightly transparent, lukewarm liquid. You aren't sure if you like the smell. And for dessert you have something orangish, lumpy stuff that slowly spreads on its plate.

Rec room seems like a good place to find food, and sure enough, the guy who bought the Mk II with you is there, thoughtfully staring a tray full of mystery food by a food dispenser. Truly, he must be your soulmate!

[End: 5] The meat thingy is fairly hot and greasy. You can almost feel your arteries clogging. You can't really taste the actual meat under all spices used to spike it up and that effect extends to the side dish too, although it seems to calm the fire in your mouth. The drink is bubbly, as if it's carbonated. Can't say you find its taste pleasant. And the dessert is... fruity. And crunchy. Not terribly bad.

Perhaps not a soulmate as much as a person who values survival in same manner as you do.

For food you get meaty soup, orange breadroll, cold grayish liquid and a muffin.

Unfortunately the rec room doesn't have very much free chemical ingredients available to make explosives with. You could however make a poor spear by breaking tables and cutting their legs. And maybe if you set couches on fire you could make smoke. Kitchen corner got all tools you need to make food as long as you get ingredients from somewhere.

Yeah, that's about it.

There's no scrap metal anywhere. You could make some by breaking lockers in hangar, but you doubt you can get away with that easily. Rags are equally missing, but then again you could steal clothes from the box in barracks, or bed sheets from there as well. Otherwise you have to ask stuff from someone.

Monoatomix razors and kinamps are the only melee ones listed in armory. You probably have to make your own or steal one. Or perhaps you can find one from the mission site? That would be neat.

Common hard plastic knives of various sizes and shapes. Easily molten and reshaped should they get dull. If metal is what you desperately need, then perhaps you could ask from the crew if they got any available.

No, metal is not nescessary.

Hey, do you have a femur?

Nurses and doctors in infirmary have gathered around a table, each playing something with their tablets. After hearing your question they turn to look your legs before one responds.

"Artificial ones, yes, but yours seem to be still intact."

"Bones are not good for that. Ask a metal bat from armory or a custom whacker from R&D boys."

The synthflesh woman behind the counter simply nods and retrieves one for you.

"It's free."

Armed with a weapon suitable for keeping too touchy feely inmates away you head back to rec room and flop down on nice soft couch next to John. After picking up the remote you randomly select a channel to watch.

The show currently going on is called The BattleMobs. It's a re-run from time before The Altered Wars featuring genetically engineered or uplifted sub-sapient creatures just smart enough to form a society. They are trained and armed with randomly selected weapons, put on a large enclosed area and told to defeat opposing battle mob species. The two species here are fluffy four armed bunnies and something that resembles a mix of scorpions and giant ants. Commentary shows best pieces of battle mobs forming strategies, skirmishes, enslaving and torturing prisoners of war for information and so on.

This episode ends with victory of scorpion things, featuring them ritualistically eating last captured bunnies. Of course the show makes notion how this kind of gene-engineering is completely illegal under current laws of UWM.

"It seemed like the bunnies were winning at the beggining" John says after the show has ended

But due to being tougher and more coordinated, the scorpions won.

I wonder how the bunnies tasted.

"i dunno probebly they were tasty,still the scorpions had the advantage of being mutated scorpions with ants,if the bunnies were mutated with ants, maybe then they would win"

Empty fuel barrel? There are no fuel barrels anywhere in areas you can access, empty or otherwise. But if it's a punching bag you want, the rec room does have a pair in the gym area. You aren't sure why you didn't notice those before.

((Remember to bold actions. It's not problem here now because I can still figure out what you are trying to do, but when people start throwing more actions around I prefer to have relevant parts bolded.))

[Str: 4] You pick up boxing gloves hanging from the bag and start throwing punches, most of them actually hitting the bag right. You work out a good sweat.

Mm, yes, the hero needs to be able to beat shit out of villains with their bare fists. Better keep up with it!

Hardly. Just a daily dose of entertainment back in days.
