((I wasn't paying much attention to the action, and basing my assessment off the fact that EP felt the need to try and intimidate you.))

You're basically two years late on that. :V

I wasn't here two years ago, now was I?

Anyways, um, does anyone know how the hell I could use that thing? I'm stumped on any use, really.

Last ditch defense. If something tries to eat you, use that to make it throw you up.

I can't even touch it without hallucinating. And the hallucinations probably don't get better the longer you touch it...

It shouldn't be maximum dynamic bonus.  That would mean an entry level fleshtech can't get a dynamjc bonus beyond +/-1, which seems inappropriate for what is almost always a trained doctor.

...?

It would also kind of ruin the original purpose for anyone aside from the higher level vets- something like charging a dynamic bonus for a aimed shot by spending several extra turns.

The original purpose was to help lower the number of overshots...

How about this? Dynamic charges are only for a specific action. That is, if someone does one with an amp intending to burn a hole in a wall, they are unable to use that dynamic bonus to do anything else, such as burning a hole in a different wall, or attacking an enemy. So for example, Charles may prepare a speech to proselytize the civilians thus giving him a dynamic bonus, however, if he needs to talk an enemy into surrendering, his roll will not use the bonus and he will lose the charged bonus as well.

That makes sense.

I would also like to propose that dynamic bonuses cannot be used if someone has a penalty in that action.

Eh, less so. I mean, even if you suck at something, taking more time still helps as much as if you didn't suck at it.

((It was a bit...tough to understand what it was. And if it's so hard to manipulate, how did Nyars even put it in the box?))

Get to wherever the officers tell me to go.

Oh, I thought you said we leveled up three times. Or something.

"I have no prime directive anymore. Don't ever give me orders like that again, bonesack."

"Less an order, more a suggestion."

"Instead, do something useful. The new arrival lacks controle over her abilities, and the best start to gain controle would probably figuring out how they work, where they come from and whatnot. You have shown talent at figuring things out, perhaps if Alice provides you with information and a demonstration, a way to controle her ability can be found?"

"No promises. It's hypothetically possible, but I wouldn't get my hopes up that something other than antimagic would work."

Eh.

"I am a 500kg mobile weapon platform. My motors are built in a way that should my primary weapons be damaged, I can still attack the target by simply flinging cars at them. I mean no offense, but previously to my upgrade, I warned everyone repeatedly of the risk involved of equipping me with emotions, as did my main programmer, Saul Sanderwick. Despite that, you equipped me with the full spectrum of emotions, not even a light-version for testing purposes that is unable to feel anger or frustration or fear - the real deal. The consequences are upon you now. I can get angry, and when I get angry and also mocked, I will act upon it to vent frustration. You are lucky that emotions go both ways, so I decided to merely give you a rude shove, rather than actually seriously harm you - because I generaly like you. This time I will apologize because an accident occured. I severly overestimated your structural integrity and what should have been a harmless shove escalated, dealing way more damage than I ever wanted to deal, you did not deserve that. In addition, you were unaware of my, and it still leaves me confused, sentience. Thus you had no idea there was any kind of risk involved in taunting me. Surely you would have acted differently had you taken me for a person, rather than a toaster with a face. Under these circumstances, it was not right to attack you, and I feel sorry. Nevertheless, don't tell me what to do. When I am angry and people annoy me, I will shove them. I have read enough about philosophy and emotions to know that just supressing your frustration will only make things worse."

1. 500 kilograms? She must be made of tungsten or something. Or else she's several times larger than I had imagined.
2. She wouldn't be throwing cars at people, she would be throwing bits she ripped off from cars at people.
3. ICARUS, don't blame the victim. It makes you look like a...well, I'm having trouble coming up with a polite term that properly encapsulates how much of a bad person that makes you look. (This is OOC criticism of ICARUS, not aimed at Akroma. If any characters of mine were willing to risk the wrath of waxwings*, they would have brought it up.)
*Memo to self: Find a way to bring up this nickname in-game.

Marie is still a disturbingly good therapist.

Great! Does she want to try her hand at therapisting a robot? Because Will asked her about that with regards to...one of our sentient robots. Not HK, one of the others.

Carl sits up in surprise, then gets ready for the day.

"Oy. What's going on?"

What the...frick.
