"So, any of our tech guys wanna try hacking those drones or something?"

(( I probably should, anything has got to be better than the manipulator ))

Also, Kri, shouldn't you update your sig?  I would think three of our bunkers being hit by our own artillery would qualify as an "incident".

+1

You know, I considered it, but I decided that the definition of an 'incident' was that it was a player driven disaster, which (despite the 'burn the Simus!' response to the failure) I didn't feel this was.

I'm trying to think of something else that I wouldn't qualify as an incident in the same vein... You know, I'm going to use my inability to come up with one as evidence that this was indeed an incident. So there you go, counter reset!

Bossman, I'm going to stay on the Sword until the next attack, help with the wounded since the doctor is out.

Get my MKIII's fuel topped off, help out fixing people in the infirmary. (( since I believe you said the main medical staff would be out ))

Team C, Skylar, Support

Right, let's move out, Grate.

@Team D & G, flying medic inbound with small reinforcement. Direct me to your wounded, please.


Pick up Grate, drop him off at his request. Fly over to rendevous. Use dust clouds and assorted debris to avoid direct combat with sods until the rendevous.

If safe arrival at rendevous, begin performing triage on wounded.

(( PW, by 'remote control', do we me Steve-controlled or 'one of us can remotely control it via the suits'? ))

It means we give it orders, but then Steve flies the ships and tries to do what we ordered it to. Doesn't require AUX rolls. By the way, I just remembered you have that MkIII. You can borrow Miya's heavy laser for the duration of this mission, if you want. Or the shard launcher if the laser is too heavy.

Right. Keep your tubes, I can't aim for shit with those. Let's dispose of these guys and go help out the others.

Keep EMM rolling, get into some cover and prepare a charge for sod baking. (dynamic bonus ho!)

...

Activate EMM, get away from the bunker.
I need to replace this damn manipulator...

Team C, Skylar, Support

Assuming Miyamoto doesn't annihilate them, attempt to bake the hostile Sod's heads.

If he does, go see if our support Sod needs further aid / can still be useful.

((D:  Sorry guys, I didn't realize dynamic bonuses were nerfed.  When did that happen, anyways?  I wouldn't have done that if I weren't nearly guaranteed a five...))

(( It was nerfed sometime during the last mini-mission, after a couple people spent all week charging +5's

It's actually worth noting that in practice, with a normal +1 bonus: a +3 dynamic == perfect: a +2 dynamic == a 1/6th chance of 'neutral success', perfect success otherwise; and a +1 dynamic == 1/6 Overshot, 1/6 neutral, and 4/6 success of some description. Only one of these is really 'balanced' as a mechanic))
