Team D Fleshtech, Steve Saint

Dynamic AUX bonus:+/- 1

How exactly will this program work? Like what will it do, mechanically? Both in terms of gameplay mechanics and in world mechanics.

I actually meant to leave that to you.  But my original idea is basically taking a library of automated exoskeleton movements, and having the computer execute them based on a series of commands from the user.  So, the person says "punch" and the computer makes the exoskeleton do a generic punch.  It'd be more complex than that, considering I can make commands at the speed of though thanks to the robobody, but it's the basic idea.

In game effect would be using AUX instead of dex/str for melee combat, at the cost of having any semblance of defense.  But I can understand that that's OP, so an AUX roll to give a bonus to melee combat might be better.  Your choice.

TL:DR, it's like playing a mix between street fighter and toribash with your body.  Except even more complex.

Action:Go get a tablet from the AM.  Then use AUX bonus to finish the melee combat program thing.  Then go get into Team D's boarding pod.

((Woo!  I got picked for the team that has Milno and Renen.  Either of them could probably solo a ship!))

That's a good point. One of the reasons I got him was because I thought I needed at least one quick and powerful person to join with Milno for a powerful vanguard. That and  he was one of the people who offered to join Milno.

I could probably shuffle things and toss him in a team where he could be of more help and take another newbie in. Since our team has Milno and an actual fleshtech with a emergency kit, preventing new soldiers from bleeding to their death shouldn't be too hard.

I'm taking about the squished by rock/chewed by generator/etc deaths.

"I would like a weapon, although not for use in this boarding action.  Preferably a sniper rifle, as that would be more suited to an automated fire control, but any weapon would do.  Perhaps a grenade as well?  Please note that I am both a new recruit, and have no weapon.

Also, I have heard that you are willing to manufacture melee weapons sometimes?  I don't mean to be rude, but a melee weapon would be very useful to me during this action.  Preferably two kukris."

I'll have to think about this...for now assume you're back as a normal robot person and we'll work out the shape shifting stuff later. I am leery of having more then one "The Thing" around, or potential the things. However, if you can think of some good limitations and downsides to it, then I'm a lot more likely to go with it. Powers must always have drawbacks. Because the universe is theatrical.

I am a Fleshtech, specializing in Auxiliary systems.  I currently have a robotic body and an emergency kit, although I have exactly zero real combat capability.  I am willing to join a team, but I would require protection.
