Yeah i'm hoping you can fix them while or before being dragged :) but just in case i'm dragging anyway.

Regarding me using the Timmy tear.  That tear is somehow embedded in me after being turned into a flesh horror.  I thought it was in my chest, but apparently it is somewhere else now, seeing as I still have it as a robobody.  Piecewise has stated that it holds my consciousness and that it would be a bad idea to mess with it.  As such, I doubt using it would be a good idea, at least for my character.
Ohh okay. I'll make that clear on the wiki then

Why would that make it easier? Amps don't have a traditional "range"; they rely on the user's spacial awareness, which is why line of sight is recommended. The cameye-goggles should be more than enough. The more complicated your plan is, the less likely it is to succeed. Why risk setting off traps when none of you even have to go near the room? Why risk a confrontation when Lars can just knock them out with his amp? He could probably do them one at a time, with dynamic bonuses charged in-between, if it's handled right, too.
You could send the target into a separate room; make him feel tired and have a nap, maybe, and then have one of the guards feel an urgent need to use the washroom or something, and send them into temporary comas one at a time. Then pick the target's sleeping mind for info, maybe puppet him so he can dispose of any physical evidence himself, then selectively wipe his memory, so he doesn't even realize anything's wrong or different after the fact.

FAKEDIT: Ninja'd, kinda.

Amps (and manips) do have range, of sorts.  The further away one is doing stuff, the harder it is to do.  I believe it's the same for automanips, so it's probably more than simply the user's spacial awareness that makes it hard.

That said, I highly doubt being a floor below the guy will have much of an effect compared to being next to him.  As far as wanting him unconscious, wait until night first, and do it while he's sleeping.  Easier than literally busting in and choking him unconscious or whatever.

My recommended plan would be to wait until the guy is asleep, have Lars wear the goggles and memorize his exact position (roll will until you get a five), then hand the goggles to Thomas, and have him and Milno go upstairs to the room directly opposite the target's.  Lars tries mind control, and if he F's up, he radios that pair and thomas shoots the guards through the door with his carbine.  Then you breach how you want, and just go with whatever your plan already is.

If you want to kill them in silence, have Skylar use his micro manip to roast them, while wearing the goggles, then breach.



In other news, I think Anton will feel a bit left out once our robosod forces on Heph are a bit more complete.  Message Saint over the radio, and suddenly Saint possesses his sod bodyguard and just starts talking.  Especially if Simus and Charles take advantage of it too.

The time of the day for the plan is still up to debate and to be fair I had considered doing it at night, but there's the matter we have very good excuses to be walking around during the day but if we're caught during the night we have nothing. I'm asking the team's opiniong exactly to improve on the existing plan or provide alternatives.

And it's all about the preference for approaches. I prefer to take care of possible obstructions before going in for the kill than try to head straight for the prize whilst hoping nothing will go wrong to avoid having to deal with everything I left aside.

Or give the cam-eye goggles to Lars, put him in the room below the target and mind control him, like Syv suggested.

I don't think Lars knows IC that the amps can be targeted that way. 


I did have a... plan for getting the two distracted without violence, but it requires being able to mind-manipulate the two in quick succession.  What is the violence policy on the guards?  Pretty sure Steve wants the target dead anyway, so smashing his brain after we root through it is required.


The only problem with coming in at night is we don't know what safeguards he has then.  If he has two guys standing outside his room all day, what's there at night?  I can't imagine he's undefended.

Plus, there's the whole "What is he even doing in there all day just sitting there" aspect.

My legs are mechanical, I could fix them if Lerman wasn't being so silly...

This could take awhile.
I think you're underestimating the damage done. Your legs aren't LEGOs that got knocked apart, they're delicate machinery that took a club clean through them.

What if I wish for omnipotence and omniscience? That always seemed like a thing that no one noticed in the contract system.

He just seems to be relying on the girls' naïveté keeping them from wishing for anything actually useful.

I don't think it's that. He doesn't mind when they wish for useful things, but there's no reason to assume they're allowed to wish for infinite wishes either.

Want to fight random mooks and steal their precious artifacts? First you have to deal with a depressed psychopath on a machine gun turret killing half your team off, followed by your surviving teammates being mentally controlled and turned against you.

Have fun!
