Remember how when I fire the more powerful modes of the rainbow cannon like blue lightning or red plasma I drain the suit's reserves and have to wait for it to restart? I want something like a secondary battery or capacitor or generator that would let me walk around after firing the red plasma or let me fire blue lightning while retaining mobility for about a minute.
Just walk around? No secondary firing or anything fancy? Because that would be cheap and relatively small.
Well, ideally I want it to also be able to boost the Rainbow Cannon's available power to allow me to fire a second shot (or a super-powered ultimate-attack-style shot, depending on circumstances) and allow me to recharge my industrial mining laser's battery in its spare time. But if I can't get that at a reasonable price I'd prefer just being able to move around after firing.
You could buy it, but it would be large and expensive.
I've got tokens to spare. How large and expensive are we talking about? Would I still be able to fly?

If the other team ends up being the one near the node, would getting there quickly with the ARSC work?

Does Steve have any data about what the Haebi do (or are likely to do) about inanimate objects just sitting there? I mean, if we left a box on the planet's surface, would they do something about it? Ignore it? Try to destroy it? Try to eat it?

And get as many drums of HRMC standard as I can carry, because someone said I might not have sufficient booze to get the planet drunk.
Also get a lot of flour or a similar substance, so I can bake them some pies and throw them on their faces.

Head to the Mess Hall, and acquire some "Dessert 3" from the food dispenser. Place it on a table, stand way back, and attempt to slowly raise the temperature to near-boiling using the manipulator.

Head to the armory, and ask the AM if it would be possible to modify the jump pack to better allow horizontal boosting, and how much it would cost.

Fine leave the fleshhorror alone.

Go to the armoury and fill my gun with gasoline. Get an extra jerrycan in case I need to reload.
Also get a tank of compressed air so I can run the generator in space.

Yes, when I pointed the laser at Taddok it wasn't actually loaded.

Now that the exit is clear, and considering that the mission leaves soon, I leave the Rec Room and go to the Armory, messaging the AM:

Sigh, understand that no one is coming, and go to armory.
"Ahem...Hello. I would like to ask, can I... I mean, can you modify Gungnir kit to be used with Спектр, like... for additional cost maybe, messer Armory Master?"
((I'm asking if can pay AM to make Gungnir with Spektr instead of laser rifle))
Does that change the price?

[wiki] regardless.

There's nothing to [wiki]. That was just a question if Spectr can be used instead of laser rifle to make Gungnir. Pricewise [wiki] believes that cost increases only if person in question doesn't have a laser weapon of his own.
Well that conversion just turns the thing into an electrolaser via sticking a spark gap at the end right? Well, ask Sean if that would even work. He made both of them if memory serves. If it would work, they yes, we'll do that.
A Spektr is an entirely different laser rifle, so the kit would need some modification. There's nothing mechanically preventing it from working, but fluff-wise it's only made for the regular laser rifle. You could still buy the kit plus saber for 6 token as usual, but I'm afraid as-is it might need handiwork to apply to a Spektr.
I think he's not against it.
Buy Spektr and TSaber regardless.

Take a moment to make sure I am familiar with the controls inside Gilgamesh. Close the front of the suit, then walk it over to the Hangar. Once inside,  take it for a lap around  pushing it to the limits of my Shroud - given competence. Don't push it to do any more than I feel competent enough to manage. Wave to Miya as I pass by in Gilgamesh. If at any point my competence starts to disappear, stop, get out of Gilgamesh, and go get Flint.

Hearing General Miyamoto's call, Maurice responded without delay.
Yes, General? How may I serve you?

Try to persuade Nyars into changing his wares. Doesn't he see that 80% of his current stock is already bought and the troopers preparing for the mission are willing to shell out the tokens?
(Yes, a Cha roll with +0 in it.)


"Well, you know how Steve recently gave us EKG monitors for these brains? I just tried out mu manip for the first time with it, could you take a loo, at the monitor, and tell me how far these squiggly lines here can go before it becomes dangerous?"

Take a look at the provided EKG data. How far can the brain-pilot be pushed yet, how much of its mindpoints are spent/left, what does each line mean, etc.?

If the mission is about to start, then don't.

As long as the doctors can successfully revive me and I can still go on mission, go for it. Ask the doctors to see if I change at all, please.

there are 500+ Choices in there, I'm not sure the one you pick won't kill you. So lets not, for now.



Go find an empty room so that me trying repeatedly to correct my form will not kill, maim, injure, absorb, digest, or otherwise impact anyone else. Try to find one of those little "Do Not Disturb" doorknob hangars like they use in hotels.
You roll down the hallway like the worst fucking pac-man reboot imaginable.

We'll say you head to the barracks since I don't think anyone is in there right now.
Quote
The green and blue lines move in sync.
Your test creates more namite then you wanted, but is successful. The blue and green lines begin deflecting up and down more radically, between 10 and negative 10. They stay this way for a while.

Send it to the AM/Doc/whoever, ask how stressed this would be and how far one should be able to safely push it (aka to what point).

Oh, and collect that namite into the tank.

Quote
>Sharp things. Knives, axes, those sort of things.
Kay then. Can the fund buy a whole bunch or decent cutting implements for a token or so?

((By the way pw, any date by which you'd like us to get going? I'd personally like to do my briefing tomorrow, and drop next Monday or Tuesday or so. Would that work?))

((If anyone wants to request a prototype or something else from the team fund, deadline is tomorrow.))

"Maurice, I have a quick question for you, if you have a moment."
You should ask a player to look at it. I want there to be a roll involved.

We can get you a bunch of standard axes if you want.



Ulrich Leland. Location: Hangar --> infirmary


Try again hover crafting with manhole cover.
Regardless of the result restore pimp cane into its original form. Go into infirmary and demand they fix my missing fornt teeths and possible injuries caused by earlier experimentation. If I'm going to die on the mission I might as well look good!


Spoiler: Inventory (click to show/hide)
You manage to get the thing to work as a hover craft, though awkwardly. It's like balancing on a manhole cover that been placed on the top of a flag pole; it's all wobbling and almost falling off.

You get your teeth fixed.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
(..I laughed way too hard at that xD)
Zayne lays on the ground with his broken arm, attempting to dream of him beeting Billy in ping pong.
YOU ROLLED 1 AGAIN! With a -1 in mind as well.

You dream about a sheep. It has 7 horns and 7 eyes. It's just sort of floating above you in a black void, staring at you.

"It's beginning again."



Milno enters the rec room - newly-made whip in hand - to get some more food to replace the one he had stored and ate, but midway he's graced with the scene of two newbies nearly committing suicide via ping-pong. Not that he's used to the sport, but he's fairly sure it isn't played like they do. "Good to see our little army hasn't changed any." he says as he heads towards the food dispensers and gets some more edible material.

Now, he has a lot to do. A mountain's worth of work to be done, actually, but since there's no one close to the armory and the only thing that had been previously keeping him away was the possibility of hindering the AM's work... He goes there, though also having a good excuse to do so.

To the Armory, talk to the AM/ask her stuff as below. Also ask if she can provide a few free carbon blocks like some pounds of scrap metal were given to Jim.

"Hey there." he greets the Armory Master after glancing around to make sure people aren't going to suddenly swarm the booth searching for nuclear-powered nailguns. "What happened around here while I was away? Something fun, I take it."
She shrugs. "The brain of some religious nut job got merged with an artifact and it ate half the ship. I hate to say it, but it really wasn't that different from the norm around here. "


Spill some sand on the floor of the briefing room and practice using the MFM by creating a long glass sickle with an ankh-shaped handle.  Then, check the EEG.
You have a 3 token brain correct? Anyone who had a manip from before is considered to have the cheapest brain unless they specially buy one.


AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO TO THE INFIRMARY AND SEE IF THEY CAN STILL WORK (DONT JACK OFF)
(Fine, I won't~)

You waddle to the infirmary where they give you a painkiller and some ice for the swelling. They say you'll be fine.
Yancy wanders into the rec room, and spying the guy knocked out on the floor drags him to the infirmary. "Geez, what happened to him, barfight gone wrong?"
The guy on the ground is mumbling something about sheep and his hair is standing on end, filled with static electricity. You drag him to the infirmary regardless and huck him into a bed. The nurses thank you and then get to work on the knocked out man.


take my salubrious border artifacts to an expert for appraisal.

10 tokens, and big enough that you couldn't have anything else on your back

No, the teams are actually the equivalent of a continent apart.

If it didn't cause them problems and just sat there? Probably ignore it and eventually grow over it just like the rest of the surface of the planet.

Well, assuming oil barrel sized tanks, you could probably carry 4-5 if you strap them to your back.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or not.

All these people using manips is begging for a bad roll.
Also, did you buy a brain for that manip?


Head to the armory, and ask the AM if it would be possible to modify the jump pack to better allow horizontal boosting, and how much it would cost.
"Eh. Horizontal boosting when your rockets are positioned on your back like that is difficult. You've got a tendency to cartwheel forward because of the weight distribution. Modifying it for fast movement would probably cost enough that you'd be better off just with an MKIII"


Fine leave the fleshhorror alone.

(Yes, a Cha roll with +0 in it.)

The brain appears to have used roughly 5% of its capacity. Maybe a bit more, but there's no sign of desync or damage.

You talk nyars into adding a few new things to his shop.

exit VR and go watch TV.
TV remains iffy. Someone should try and fix it, or at least tune it.

Man, you can't wait for the renovations to be done and for the flat screen to be installed.
