-awkward cough- so....
Systems online, diagnostics report no errors. It seems you are, indeed, 'workin', Ahran's muse, Operis, stated as he tested his arms. "Thanks," the synth responded, somewhat annoyed that they couldn't even be bothered to send a real person to welcome him. Being looked down on for being a synth was normal, but he expected better from Firewall. Most of his gear was internal, though the bag with his ID on it contained his usual assortment of sensors, holoprojectors and a solar recharger. Seeking Mesh connections, the muse continued in his mind. If the local mesh is anything like this station... go easy on it, Ahran responded. Engaging kitty glove protocols. Guess you had no luck finding a decent humor update? he said with a mental sigh Can't patch what isn't bugged. Whatever you say Opris, Ahran paused to inspect a run down wall, put up a standard firewall too, I don't like the look of this place.
No artificial gravity in EP... best we have is the whole 'spin a donut to make it feel like gravity'... which I guess is probably what you meant... I'll shutup now
also, there are so many other places cooler than icicles that serve as housing for people. Like the sundivers who live on the corona of the sun. Or the balloon cities of Venus that float by virtue of breathable air being less dense than the Venusian atmosphere. Or how about the people who live under water on Europa, in the hundred mile thick ocean that exists under it's icy crust. Then there's always the drifters who live in the Oort cloud, almost half way to the next nearest star, and rarely see any other transhuman being.
so... -artifical cough- did everyone move to a new thread without my knowledge? or is new gm still putting things together? only reason I ask was because I thought we were starting on monday....
you only roll for continuity when you wake up from a backup. From my understanding A: we are simply transferring consciousness from our 'at home' bodies to our 'work' bodies, which means no continuity test and B: I have an emergency farcaster on my 'work' body meaning if we are resleaving after a failed mission I still have all my memories because once my last synth became inoperable I go splat and instantly send my current Ego to a resleaving facility. Only time that wouldn't work is if we are on the other side of a pandora gate, in another solar system, because neutrinos are great... but they only travel at the speed of light. Also I'm not a stinking Async so no disorders for me :P
I hadn't considered running both... but nah, giving a fork its own body and leaving it there for long periods is asking for trouble. In any case I should roll my integration tests:
Well, that was easy.
just wait for someone else to draw it than shamelessly steal the drawing
considering she shamelessly stole it from me... it's like a human centipede of shameless stealing... or something.
40k credits to start Synth morph: 5k
Morph armor: 23/24
Remaining credits: 25,200 uhhh... mm... I almost just want two of these... though what is likely better is: Emergency farcaster: 20k Remaning: 5,200
I'll get a secondary morph ready tomorrow, expect it to be pretty much a synth with laser and armor... not much else to say really.
I am willing to help out, but I am already running a game irl and doubt I could devote to a second one online... if only because last time I tried it I kept getting the games mixed up XD. Besides, I always end up GMing EP games >.>
Cyberclaws are pretty cool As for combat, it's useful to have at least one weapon and some skill with it. The cool thing about EP is that there are so many fun ways to kill people without resorting to gun play. In one game I played in we had to take over a hostile space ship, half the party was gearing up for a boarding action, getting battle armor, rail rifle machineguns with smart link and everything. Upon reaching the ship's hull I cut open the window and blew the crew into space... it was kinda amusing.
Assuming I can count properly, which considering I'm apparently going to be hooked up to a space potato is an iffy thing, we only have 3 signed up players right now. I tend to prefer 4 or 5 players in games I run, and I think mr snowman mentioned wanting 4 players.
worse case scenario you can rip out my cortical stack and shove me in a ghost rider module or something. can't use my combat skills there but I can still give advice n stuff
hey, don't mock octoblade wielding uplifts, I built one once for fun... 4d10ish damage from a quad wielding cuttlefish is scary.
me? the main combatant? I've an arm mounted pop out laser gun and decent skill with it... and that's it. Unless you want to pay for a reaper with a puppet sock and twin plasma guns I don't think I'll be tanking...Although... heavy synth armor on a reaper leads to 32 armor base, something even railguns find a hard time getting through. slap a couple plasma rifles on there and you are looking at potentially 4d10+12 damage with 8 armor pen. That's not even getting into putting a helmate on, or spray armor, reactive coating... That being said, I do have some infosec and quite a few knowledge skills. And there are so many fun and inventive ways to kill or be killed in EP, you don't really need a 'main combatant.' As for my character, he/she (synth morphs have no gender!) left the asteroid mining company, which very well may have been owned by a hypercorp, is upset with how many people fail to see that earth is a lost cause, and has been actively trying to get into gate crashing, probably through the Vulcanoid gate. ooc I have experience with the setting and ruleset, EP being my favorite game setting ever, and could act the 'veteran' of gate crashing if needed. wouldn't even take a major rewrite of my character just 'hey, I managed to go on a number of first-in missions through the vulcanoid gate, and I even managed to return most of the times!' edit: I'll remember alias's eventually
tbh, I've been thinking about it but without knowing where the start of the game is, ie, where we are ego casting from, it's kinda hard to come up with anything. i mean... anyone who has any interactions with the asteroid mining groups may have run into my character at some point. He is also something of a researcher in various fields, his current interests being xenobiology and xenoliguistics, so mr Helix may have read some papers from my character or something. Most of my character's life, after leaving earth in any case, was spent in the asteroid belt which likely trades with both Jupiter and Mars. I use a synth morph that has been upgraded for EVA and Mining operations (industrial armor, zero G thrusters, etc). More recently he has been doing research on Mercury, trying to get into gate crashing (on slightly better terms than 'everything you find belongs to us') and possibly doing some consulting for mining/research centers. So if that gives you any ideas feel free to share them... but I got nothing :P edit: using the right alias is hard further edit: If we know where the game starts it would be easier, I could come up with a reason for my char to have gone there, everyone else could do the same, we could meet up there... etc. Though if anyone has any ideas for past interactions that would be sweet too.
(This is Teneroth's char's alias) Much as I hate to admit it, I was born on Earth. I'm not saying that Earth is bad, it was once a great planet from which we arose, and for that it has earned a place in history. But we have moved past it, like a child grows out of a favorite blanket. Like it or not the future of the Trans-human race, for that's what we've become, not human, but Trans-human, is not on Earth. I realized that before the Fall, got off the planet as soon as I could, taking any job off planet. I'll admit there was a bit of the lust for exploration, but that's what it means to be transhuman, to desire to explore, to thirst for knowledge, not to sit mired in the old ways. After the Fall I found myself as a survivor in an asteroid mining colony. I wasn't the only one, though there weren't as many as there should have been. In the years where the dust was settling in the wake of the Titans I knew that Earth was a trap for us, to return would be to die. I don't know who put up those orbital defenses, but they were great people. Once we started getting our feet under us again I moved to Mercury, to join other like minded people in advancing our technology so we wouldn't have to return to Earth, or any other planet, ever again. Maybe our future lies through those gates, but I'd like to think we could forge our own path, not follow one left behind by others. Maybe that's just me.
