hmm, would you prefer i edit the response, or still go with the, darkshine needs to see a medic, and isn't thinking as clearly as he should?

Up to you.  I was thinking of having Dorcan say "That came out harsher than I intended", but I wanted to give you a chance to change it first if you saw fit.

[Lisky]

Go with the "that came out harsher", it'll help build trust at least on darkshine's end, because it'll prove Dorcan understands he isn't perfect, and it's in front of someone who Doracn still doesn't really trust which only adds to the overall effectiveness of the gesture...

[shadowterm]

This isn't my story, what was I able to pull from the generator?

[Ryudo Lee]

The generator would be the strangest configuration of a field generator you've ever seen.  It appears to be finely tuned, to the effect that it appears to be for something very very specific, though you wouldn't be able to determine it's use.

That's handy, but Dorcan suggested that if he can't remove the whole thing, he should break the generator core into manageable pieces so that the labs can try and figure out what it did.
So I think he really meant "What components do I come away with?" ...which might be tricky unless you've sat down and drawn or otherwise designed the thing 

[Ryudo Lee]

Oh yes, then if that's the case then there will be several internal components that appear to be "black box" kinds of things, where there's just no idea what in the world they do.  They would have to be brought back to the lab boys for them to reverse-engineer and figure out what the generator was supposed to do.

[Lisky]

So, just out of general curiosity, is there even a medic with the team?  As far as i can tell from the IC and OOC posts there doesn't seem to be one anywhere near by... though it hasn't been mentioned for quite some time so i'm not really 100% sure on that either way

[Ryudo Lee]

I believe PBH posted that the medic that came with the team left with the body of an unconscious zealot, and another team was on it's way to provide medic support.

[Lisky]

Alright, that's what i was just checking on, and under the circumstances i believe Dark and Dorcan are now done with our part, and good to leave... Morgan is setting charges, and should be set to go as soon as he finishes with that, Exo, well, i can't say for sure, but i'm pretty sure he's good to go, Izzie should be just about set with the pieces of the reactor....which leaves Jexx, as far as i can tell, he's still sitting in the chair in the office were Darkshine was trapped... soo... in short, I'm pretty much ready to move on in the story... as for everyone else, there's probably a 1 post wrap up for each of them before we move on to the next bit

[Tapewolf]

I'm easy.  If you want to move us along, I don't think I have much more to add.

[Lisky]

Well, i'm waiting on your response now, as for everyone else, we need Shadow to grab the pieces of the reactor, and load them onto some form of trasport with exo, we need Azlan to get the charges armed... we need Tech to get out of the office and outside the tower, and as far as i can tell from there, blow the charges...

i thinks thats a pretty good summary as to what's left to do here...

[techmaster-glitch]

Sorry, I've been busy the last few days, and will likely continue for a few days more. I'll get a post in as soon as I can, though.

[Lisky]

Azlan, was that intentional with the basically saying exactly what i did, or do we/ our characters just think creepily alike?

[shadowterm]

I should totally say something later in the story like "This one time, in van camp. . ."  Yeah, that would be great.

[Azlan]

Azlan, was that intentional with the basically saying exactly what i did, or do we/ our characters just think creepily alike?

Morgan is over the comm and not in hearing range of DS and Dorcan, so he would still say that as Dorcan asked a question and had not yet responded with any sort of continuation.

Such thoughts are common among those experienced with EO.

[Lisky]

well shadow... you know i'd have to respond with something akin to "someone put a trombone  there?!"

Azlan, i was gonna say, if you had just totally disregarded what i had said, that would have been effing creepy... as is, well, still kinda creepy for dorcan, but not that bad... Though once we get to the vans, i'm pretty sure i'll be seperated from the team for a medical check as well as set up for a proper interrogation...

[Ryudo Lee]

When all the characters start thinking alike, it's a sign of a group that is able to work together, and that is usually a good thing.

[Tapewolf]

I should probably have clarified that he asked his question over the commlink, but since he was replying to something that came over the link, I didn't think of it.

[Lisky]

either way, the fact that you didn't specify means that DS and Morgan have at least proved that they both like to error on the side of caution when dealing with explosives... it also means that Dorcan can make a reference to "creepy merc twins" or something along those lines and have total justification for it too

[Arcalane]

I was tempted to do a quick Firefly-esque exchange between Mack and one of the support staff, but I couldn't quite get it to sound right.

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, you still need to earn more trust.

[Lisky]

oh, i know, but from dorcan's perspective we said more or less the exact same thing, at more or less the exact same time...

[Tapewolf]

Well, he's taken it in his stride.  After all, he's spent most of his life among telepaths so it's not likely to faze him too much.

[Lisky]

alright... so, from my perspectivewe're just sitting around the vans at the moment, waiting to leave... did i miss something, or should i be reporting to a medic about now?

Sally requested you be sent to her when the group arrives back at base, but since that's about a day's drive away it would make sense if one of the field medics checked him over there and then, as Dorcan requested be done.

[Lisky]

soo, i guess the game plan now is to load up and ship out... and just an FYI for those who are playing, thanks to MLK day on monday, i've got pretty much nothing to do for the next 5 days with the knee deep snow, and 5 degree weather

Edit: oh, and i was also thinking, if we're gonna be cleaning out my safehouse, should i use the "mobile safehouse" where it's an "unarmed" ground effect vehicle that's more like a mobile armory/supply dumb.... or, should i use a literal house for the safehouse?

[Tapewolf]

If we don't, guess who the Brotherhood are going to finger for destroying the tower? 

[Lisky]

Ya know, that didn't really answer the question, should he have something like a 18 wheeler's trailer or some other mobile safehouse, or would you prefer something like a real building...

As for what's inside the house...
It'd be a safe bet to have, say, 5 different version of the assault rifle dorcan's holding (as it's darkshine's personal favorite style), several sets of pistols, an extra suit of armor, along with patches for the reactive portions, several other primary weapons, like a silenced SMG(something akin to the UMP), a true sniper rifle (say something like a bolt action barret m-95, or an L-85 super-magnum), a shotgun(Spaz 12 W/ Red Dot) as well as a couple of bandoliers of grenades with various purposes, mostly flash bangs, frags, and incendiary/fuel air explosive, ... i dunno... not much in the way of explosives, outside the propellant in the bullets and what's in the grenades...ohh... i forgot 1 other thing in the safehouse... ROPE... "ya know, charlie brason's always got some rope, and he always uses it" (i'll give you a cookie if you can tell me where that quote is from)

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

"ya know, charlie brason's always got some rope, and he always uses it" (i'll give you a cookie if you can tell me where that quote is from)

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patri. Et Fili. Spiritus Sancti.


Rock on.
