Brotherhood of the Machine (OOC Thread) {03}

[Lisky]

soo... we're waiting on lee then?

[Ryudo Lee]

Confirmation on what?  On whether or not the brotherhood guys eat?  You don't know that yet.

[Tapewolf]

If he's running the medic, yes.

Confirmation on what?  On whether or not the brotherhood guys eat?  You don't know that yet.

In that case, whoever's running the medic should say "No idea".  Realistically, I can't do much with Dorcan until I know whether he finds any rations in the vehicle or not.

[Lisky]

and it looks like arc is waiting to see if he can rip the door off with brute force or not as well...

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Fet is kind of semi-conscious at the moment an admittedly cheap way of trying to cover for my confusion as to what he's expected to do in the aftermath of the rescue attempt.

[Ryudo Lee]

I envision the microchipping to be similar to the chips that are used to identify pets these days.  They give off an RFID signal that can be picked up by a scanner.

[Lisky]

Corgatha, about now would be a good time to come up with a way for the others to get killed off, especially while Fet is either semi-conscious or unconscious

The other prisoners are currently being tended by Dorcan, Exo and a bunch of medics, if I'm not mistaken.  Killing them off - literally, as opposed to writing them out - is going to be a bit hard.  Is it really necessary?

[Lisky]

well, really either would work... it's just an issue of getting rid of them so that Fet can actually join the party, rather than be forced out because of his cultural need to follow the eldars

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

You could always speak to the GM, and get him to have them die of their treatment - specifically the crash stop at the end, or an implanted microchip or something.

Heck, the implanted chip that kills you if you break out is a great story staple...

Dind't you already wax whatever guy you needed to? back when Jexx was melting his way in?

[Lisky]

... Darkshine's half napping on top of his own vehicle... this conversation was on how to get Corgatha's character into the story and actually stay in the party...

[techmaster-glitch]

Whoops, meant to quote corg. Sorry. Let me re-ask

Didn't Corgatha already of taking care of whetever he needed to when Jexx was melting his way in? I distinctly remember his character using the event to sneak around a few prisoners to poison one in particular.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Fet. (not me, I'm Corg. My character is Fetrethar) killed off a rival clanmember, but more as a personal vendetta. As for the people of his own clan? He might go back with them if they tell him to, but he's never been considered an important member of the group, being little and weedy, and if they didn't see him, they'd probably forget he was there. As long as he's not physically in the same room as the others, he'd probably join the rebels.

[Ryudo Lee]

Or y'know, you guys could steal the prison vehicle... it's still operational.  Just thinking out loud here.

[techmaster-glitch]

"This may be a silly idea," he began over the comms, "I mean, a truck with the top ripped off is going to look a bit suspicious to any recon satellites the Brothers have.  We'd have to avoid built-up areas and for all I know the truck itself has a tracking device, but... that aside, does anyone think it would be worth liberating this fine piece of automotive hardware from its oppressive masters?"

"Feel liberated, transport truck!"

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Sorry guys, I've been out of circulation for the past few days. Going to rectify that now.

[Tapewolf]

"We've got a live one here guys." He says aloud.

Isn't that what the vampires in Oblivion say when they try to kill you?

[Tapewolf]

IIRC from the transmitter mission, the Brotherhood gear tends to self-destruct when the owner dies, so scrounging a weapon probably won't work.

A precedent was set with Exo and the Elite in the battle at the tower.  He was able to pick up a repeating plasma rifle and use it.  I was able to do the same during the fight at the convoy, in fact he still has it.  there has been nothing to the contrary to say neither of those work past some point.

The soldiers we have with us would have done a sweep of the battle field, and if they were normal resistance fighters, would collect all arms and useful items to take back.  If this is the day and age of powerful micro-tracking devices, it would also be the day and age of micro-tracking device detection and destruction devices... funny how a measure and its counter-measure are developed relatively closely (sarcasm).

I knew there was something that irked me about the convoy battle.  It'll be interesting to see what Ryudo has to say.  Maybe the Zealots self-destruct but the others don't or something...

[Ryudo Lee]

From your normal observation, and even Exo will know this, the self destruct mechanism is activated manually, though partially.  If they're captured, they kill themselves and destroy their weapon in the process, but if they're killed in combat, then only the armor is destroyed.  The weapons are usable if they don't destroy them.  The armor however is a different story.  If the soldier's heart stops, the armor does go into a self destruction sequence.  The armor basically melts all essential components.

Cool - that clarifies things a lot.  Thanks.

I should probably add that to the Lore section on the first page.  Also, if the box is still watching this thread, it'd be nice if we could truncate the IC thread since it's over 30 pages now.

I don't know what he did before, but if you just want it split on page 30 and moved to the Treasury, I can do that myself.

[Ryudo Lee]

I didn't realize you had mod powers here.

[Tapewolf]

Since mid-November, actually.  Anyway, it looks like llearch has been splitting them at 29 or 30  so I may as well give it a go.

**EDIT**

Sorted.

[Ryudo Lee]

Thank you kind sir.  Blessings of the Shadow upon ye.

The box is watching, but doesn't tend to get worried by longer threads. Darkmoon tends to get annoyed earlier, but I prefer to split on nice even numbers, for some OCD reason.

I was just away watching CSI...

I tried to find a nice break in the dialogue and split it there.
