Sounds like a team that might need medical support... If none of the other medics are willing to risk their lives on that, I'll go. I'll even leave some of the drones for the ship team to use.

Tentatively volunteer. Recollect all the drones back to their base station for recharging

Shit...... Steve, what would they be using flares for? Call-down of something?

Ask Steve, Order two drones to watch away from the window that fired the flare for movement.

Pull back to the now downed Stacy. Do a quick medical check, then help him to the infirmary, by hover trolley if necessary.

Ah... Munitions-Explosive... of course.

Go grab 4 more drones, prepare to give them orders while watching our various spy-cams for movement.

Watch for any Xan-related trauma and render medical aid / corpse transport if necessary after fighting has ceased

Repeat ad nauseam

(( Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that I am underestimating the size of the drones... ))

(( Cog was a guy that gave the doctor an idea, as opposed to the usual 'do something to me!' genemod.

He wanted to be a spaceship.

He got vaporized by an alien artifact (THAT IS STILL ON THE SHIP, at last count) before he could be sent out on a mission, but not before piledriving another inmate into perma-death in a fight over a remote control.

Yeah. ))

Much better. Now, you be good little drones for Feyri, Orbb and Tiu.

Get into cover behind our first row of arranged crates, wait for the assault team to breach the door.

(Yeah, I didn't get that either. There were a few jokes about the obvious consequences of using a manipulator (seriously, those things have killed the user way more often than not - amps have been far safer, although I'd have to guess that's only because Steve's been shocking Xan every time he's about to overshoot ) and whatnot, but I can't recall a single instance of someone saying Lyra deserved getting killed off.)

((Wait...is that a decompensator, or did Xan basically get the lowest-level decompensator for free?))

(( Yes and no

It was Steve preventing him from blowing up the ship, as he was somewhere onboard at the time. Don't remember where exactly, I think he'd been chatting with the AM ))

(( It's not that your character has done anything to deserve a horrible death in particular, it's more that his last 5 -7 actions have all been related to eating pills, the obtainment of MORE of those pills, or the dealing with of side effects of those pills. He's got a bit of an addiction problem, as you say. It's clearly going to be the end of him. In the best sort of way. Like, 'the end of spaceship man' type way

I'm sorry, I don't normally root for character death, but PW has the most awesome ways of describing someones untimely demise 

He's clearly trying to overdose on the damn things. I'm honestly amazed the *first* one didn't kill him, and unless his blood has been turned to molten iron or something, would be unsurprised to see him drop dead of internal bleeding in a few turns XD ))

make a pill out of my guts and the sand that killed me

((...))

(( I disagree that you had it coming, PW is mostly joking that 'this is the sort of crap that happens with bad exotic rolls'. You had some seriously bad luck there, as you pointed out earlier. On the bright side, the weapon lived. I think. It's arm mounted, right?

And yeah, from an ethical level, my character dislikes the latest pill and also goes '...', as do I.
However, in the context of the game... I really want to see what it does XD. ))
