Although it does beg a question of why HMRC allows us to use these things, if they don't expect this to happen every time.))

((In civilian areas, no less.  But they must be desperate to send the HMRC into a civilian area anyway.

Also, does this count as an off-label use for the nuke, or just a testament to the versatility of a simple nuclear device?))

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

STACY WE NEED YOUR NUKE WE NEED IT NOW

Have someone arm the nuke and chuck it into the cloud.
Get every person with a heat amp to help me create a shield around our party (which should group together) that will keep temperature normal inside it until the storm subsides.

...
work with the psychopathic pyromanic to help make sure none of us die. use my microwave amp if necessary.
EDIT:
Run, if I can't outrun this monstrosity, THEN go for the amp. try to stay near my running teammates and if I'm going to be amp-shielding, try to cover them too.
EDIT: Tiruin's post
RUN, if offered a speed boost from Feyri, take it. if I'm going to get caught by the freezewall of death, attempt to shield myself using my amp before it hits me. if others are next to me at the time, shield them too.

Join the group and add 'spontanious and catastrophic global cooling' to the list. Assist with Amps as needed.

((Aw, crap, I meant width. As in, the width of the stairs, not the entire length of them, which was presumably slightly less than half a mile. Silly me. Oh well, that'll learn me, anyhow.))

Stacy realized that he had absentmindedly added the wrong parameter to the calculations. Instead of a rather wonderful obstacle that would have kept all of this under control, he seems to have accidentally caused the twilight of the gods.

Oh well. What can you do. At least he wasn't an amp user. As he pirouettes away, he opens up radio communications.

"Hey, guys, funny thing just happened - I accidentally set one of the parameters for a temperature manipulation as the length of the stairs. You may want to run like hell, people!"

STACY WE NEED YOUR NUKE WE NEED IT NOW

"Here you go, bud! Have fun!"

Pass the nuke to Xan if he's available, pass it to someone else of the team if he's not. Switch to uncontrollable singing and haul ass as far toward the other end (farthest away from the gate, contemplate whether a dive off the wall legs-first diametrically opposite the gate is likely to be lethal - if not, do it and keep rolling away even if my legs become broken) of the complex as possible.

Essentially my plan is to make a bubble around the team that will keep temperature inside it normal.

((Yay for the soon to be resulting overshoots! Seriously, three amp users attempting to heat an area up, he he he. You're so screwed.))

Why are 100% of my posts in ER? I already have another account. Created this one specifically for playing.

Not online every Friday evening till Saturday night. If I am listed as online, I am still not online, as my computer has an annoying habit of waking up to the tiniest distraction and then going off to sleep again.


List of links to charts and graphs here. Work in progress. Check it out?

((yes, but you haven't said anything to Lyra about it. I'm doing the best I can at coordinating with you when you aren't communicating by giving a vague instruction.))

((oh, and my modifier is +1/3 on amp useage. thought you'd like to know.))

((Yeah, I'm going to try running like hell and see if I can possibly escape the immediate radius of the temperature drop and that the spacesuit protects me from sudden temperature drops.))

((Did we just generate an anti-kugelblitz?))
((Where is Charles's rifle?))
Charles runs away from the direction of the eldritch imitation of Ice-9.
He retrieves his rifle if he is able to safely access it in time.
If he can't, he just aims it at the expanding field and detonates it at near point-blank range.

((Ten thousand years from now an HMRC ship (or more likely an alien ship) comes to this place to explore the strange negative energy anomaly and discover its cause. Hidden deep in the ice they find the frozen HMRC team and from their brains extract the secrets of amp and manipulator making. And thus the cycle of physics abuse begins anew...

Do you think Steve has some sort of directive to stop these sort of things from spreading? If so, he could be using his own weapons or manipulators against the thing soon.

And your suits do protect you from near absolute zero temperatures, but I don't think they protect you from eldritch ice9.))

((Steve is probably too busy laughing.

You could just request a pickup- I'm sure you've put a stop to any subversive element (by killing all of them wholesale) and the survivors are too busy mourning/rebuilding/running like hell to do anything else.))
