I'm good with your suggestion; Jack is a door-kicker and does what he's told by his superiors.
I'm still active, life as an EA has been challenging my ability to have a life outside of work, but I'm still here/eyeing the forum. Still working on a time machine to allow me to have 36 hour days.
Sorry about the slow posting. Was travelling Thursday, then at a Netrunner tournament for over 19 hours yesterday!
Thats fine as long as you had some fun.
Im curious as to if it is still very dark inside this place?
I will be traveling for work starting tomorrow through next Saturday, unsure exactly how often I will be able to post. Might be more, might be less; it might even depend on the day.
Fair enough, be safe.
And here I was thinking that I could get away with 28 Toughness :| Oh well...
Hey you had a +20 at least.
I did but the dice gods decided to spurn me :P
Well of course.
@Anna, not sure if my pistol makes a noise. Verdict Browman?
Well it has to be propelled by something, normally the sound that comes from a taser is minimal at best but the whole being a cave system may enhance it enough to be heard.
Hmm, yeah, it would but I doubt it would be 5.56 Shots ringing through a cave loud haha!
At worst, those further down would think it was the snap or crack of a rock.
The pistol is a taser, which makes minimal noise. With all the machinery in the chamber ahead it would be unlucky if the enemy heard it.
Testing this in the discussion thread.
Okay that worked, too bad I can't use it.
Maybe if I do the roll by itself?
How far out is the large fringed Lizard from our current position?
About 20 meters.
I assume the other Lizard who was shooting is the same? or around the same distance?
about a meter behind.
Happy other Memorial Day, Princess Ann has come down on our 100th anniversary to give our Regiment new consecrated flags and three new battle honours from battles in 1812.
For everybody else in Canada, Happy Canada Day!
Woo mine and my Character's Country's Independence Day!
I'm also 1 Year closer to my imminent demise / Asian Genes giving out and me suddenly aging in a *poof*
I should have mentioned that everyone gets another 400 xp.
Oh sweet. Also grats Anna, I hear asian genes age well. Maybe you will become an old sage?
Ah another thing IO wanted to ask Browman, was the Protosuit damaged greatly in the recent fight or was it easily fixable in the time we have in the meantime?
I also assume other such people will agree, that it would be best to leave the weapons and xenos here to be researched. rather than try to use the weapons out of field. Especially against this human threat.
Thanks :)
We'll see. I look forward to the sudden ageing *poof* where I go from looking ~30 to suddenly being Yoda.
And woo 400xp! Imma bank that and save up for Marksman so that I never have to suffer Range Penalties ever again.

It should be fixed in time.
Yeah for me its like fine wine. Black people sorta get older and defined and basically either drop off hard or smooth all the way through.
For XP more close quarters action.
Sweet XP! I'll have to spend it this evening, haven't got time to do it this morning before I go to work.
I agree Pete, lets leave the stuff to be researched by the research types. Don't want to accidentally blow it up in the field!
XP spent - got a bit tougher and a bit better at making headshots
As much as I wanted to place more XP into his Melee Capability, for the moment he does not have the rarity to have his Machete to utilize it greatly so The XP went to a BS increase and Hip Shooting. Such that your mobile tank can constantly keep the pressure on the enemy while moving. Plus it fits well with the nice raid situation we got going on.
So Browman I think we are ready.
Are we given free reign on where to approach or is it ground level?
You can go in anywhere on the ground level or the roof.
Not gunna lie I kinda like the shock and awe of coming down on them like the wrath of GAWD.
Yeah, going in Rainbow Six style through the window has its own appeal.
But, that doesn't mean me and Roger can't go in sneaky-like behind you guys and go Suprise on some fools.
I am in the process of moving for the next week or so, I will still be around, but not able to post as much.
Roger Dodger
Also Anna I think you meant Mark.
Yes. I did.
I get confused at times.
Happens to the best of us. What do you plan to do with Anna after she banks the XP? I know for Pete it's Melee from this point on with the occasional boost to Strength, Weapon Skill and Toughness.
Well, I can always keep working on my Medical Skills but I at least want to get the Marksman Talent to essentially negate any negative range modifiers when shooting effectively tripling the range of my gun (ie, my Revolver would no longer be at -30 when shooting at targets up to 90m away).
Otherwise, I might look into also boosting Int, Perception and Toughness as a priority for stats while getting better Medicae skills as we go on since aliens tend to get nasty fast :p
And we've been pretty lucky so far haha!
Well I would say a combination of Luck and skill. it was no small amount of whim that certain people made themselves more tough to withstand hits, agile to evade or accurate to drop enemies.
Though remember the First and Second missions we had almost-casualties with Mark and the Second Roger and Pete, though It was mainly armor and toughness that mitigated that.
That reminds me we still need to suss out callnames.
Our enemies now are Human, they cant be hearing our names.
True, true and true.
Hmmmm Call names, yeah Humans now in the mix callsigns are definitely something we need to think about.
Heck and we got a few more days until the game moves forward so we should take this time to discuss and decide. Being productive and all with the time.
I'm definitely seeing Mercy with Anna, not too many other ideas save for Resonance, Pattern and Valkyrie.
Jack Im seeing a Guardian... But I figured Titan, Badger, Beowulf or Tank.
Mark I think I had all Ghost-like stuff.
Yeah, I see Jack more as Titan or (as of now) Overseer.
Mark is cooli-o's with Ghost Stuff. Maybe Bumblebee since he likes to sting things with electro darts recently hahah!
For Pete, I feel like Die Hard or McClane :P
... I think you are confusing things again.
12 hours of sleep leaves me with a foggy brain! :p
I'm excited to get a call sign. Maybe everyone should suggest one for all the other squad members, then that person picks their favourite.
Sure go ahead, you first. I'm sure I've heard a bit from everyone but you Mark. What would you have us be called?
Just off the top of my head.
Pete - Dozer
Jack - Shocker
Anna - Valkyrie
Mark - Spectre
whenever you guys have sorted out what you want to do I am good to launch the mission.
