The surprise will be fun with Ashfake since it has mainly blocking abilities.

"May I do a quick check?"

That would be a fun thing to hear/watch.

((Looking back on it, it is a bit ironic that he killed me from a flanking position after I said to watch those.))

Well yeah, but those still work if it's say, someplace where you need a second person who has authorization to do help.

And I doubt Anne would think that Faith meant literally everyone and instead meant 'everyone who joined this ill conceived quest.' Although I will admit that SOME people made this very very bad.

Upon further reading I'm slightly unhappy that beserk mode didn't first occur without kinetic amplifiers.

What's with the questionable design ideas on the possibly murderous robotic person though? No remote body shut down, she can just push a button and go berserk anything else I should know?

Wait... why isn't Faith already berserk then? I mean, unless she's got a lot of control on her head stuffs she should be doing something not expected right? Or, does the alien fuckery in her head not realize that this is a bad thing that's happening and doing something to mess with Anne or whatever the hell it is?

Two reasons. One is, as Yoink points out, that berserk mode is not a mechanical function of her body. It's an alien presence that, on being unleashed, fills her with rage and strength, or at least removes her inhibiting don't-damage-self restraints. Anne is, as far as we can tell, a body puppeteer, not a mind controller, and thus couldn't benefit from this without Faith being back in control.

Secondly, we're not sure Despair, as we're calling Anne in Faith's body, knows about all of her new features. She hasn't bothered trying to use the manip yet, for instance, which might mean she can't or doesn't think it's worth the risk, but might just mean she doesn't know what it is or does.

Anne doesn't know the first one from when Faith yelled out though if I remember correctly.

And I do know she at least knows about the berserk from the incident I mentioned above.

I'm still wondering why the death robot person has an easily reachable berserk mode activator.

Also, this possession stuff has made me realize that my current character will never get robotized unless he can avoid it. He will get an all terrain wheel chair if need be. One that can't be possessed easily.
