> SM: Unleash a HEROIC STUNT for extra damage and charges for your CALIBRATING CLAYMORE!





You realize that this is just the time to be HEROIC, and there’s no better way to do that than by executing a DARING AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY FEAT OF MARTIAL PROWESS.

Gathering three CHARGES of your CALIBRATING CLAYMORE, you unleash your PARTS DE DEUX sword technique!

Wait, was that charges FOR or OF your CALIBRATING CLAYMORE? You can only charge this thing BY killing enemies, but you also use it TO kill enemies... you're getting confused. You wonder-

You’re not sure how such an absurd notion got into your head, but the very idea of running away fills you with horror and self-loathing.
Why, you’re a PROFESSIONAL ADVENTURESS, well versed in the art of SWORDSWOMANSHIP and a STALWART DEFENDER OF THE INNOCENT. Running away for any reason would shame you in a professional, social, personal, and quite possibly legal manner.
If you were ever to run away from a fight, the shame would be so great that it would doubtlessly lead to a loss of personal integrity, culminating into a spiral of self destruction that would eventually mean your complete and utter downfall.

There’s no other way than to let this play out. Honor, integrity, and your sense of self demand it.

> ...but still leg it and go grind some moar!





Being the honorable individual you are, you exit through the SUSPICIOUSLY UNLOCKED DOORS. You don’t ponder the EQUALLY SUSPICIOUS IMPLICATIONS, as your sense of FAIR PLAY demands that you do this individual the honor of fighting him at equal strength. You tell the DEMONBEAR to not go anywhere, you’ll be right back.

Man, what a terrible situation.

Suddenly you are MG, and you find yourself in DIRE STRAIGHTS.

This machine just gave you a delicious and refreshing ZEPHYROUS CHOCOLATE MINT DELIGHT GENCOLA, when only the slightly more delicious BANANA-RASBERRY RUMPUS RUMBLE GENCOLA has the amazing thirst-quenching FLAVOR and sufficient HEALING and STAT BOOSTS to tempt a gamer of your caliber.

What a terrible situation!

> MG: "Fix" the machine.

[Mercenary Pen]

MG: Perform INVENTIVE MAINTENANCE on vending machine, which may ot may not involve creating additional holes in it.

[flabort]

Kick it like it deserves! Nothing withholds your STAT BOOSTS!

> MG: "Fix" the machine.





As a MECHANIST, you are exceptionally good at “Fixing” things. In fact, you completely leave other classes in the dust as far as “Fixing” things go. If something needs to be “Fixed” you’re the one to call. It’s almost as if your class was designed around being better at “Fixing” things than other classes.

However, you’re pretty sure the VENDING MACHINE isn’t a destructible object in the game. It’s almost as if they’re “Encouraging” you to buy GENCOLA.

Hm? Oh, that’s just CC#003 and CC#004, set up with a GAUSS CANNON and TESLA COIL, respectively. They take up two COMMAND SLOTS each due to being medium sized, but your GAME GUIDES assure you they’re definitely worth it. In fact, most of them agree that this is the optimum setup for your level.

You are confident in your ability to “Fix” any problems that come your way.

> MG: Combine CCs #003 and #004!

In related news: averagejoe is now officially in as co-conspirator, having co-conspired the last three updates with me. This should work well for the time being.

It's true. Hi guys.

[Mercenary Pen]

MG: BUILD CC#005 capable of wielding the massive sword beside the vending machine.

[flabort]

CC #005? you're thinking too small. We want to use our Awesome power of "fixing" things to combine CC #003 and CC #004 into CC#007, right now. And we may as well make CC's #005 & #006 while we're at it.
After all, combined CC's have arms and two weapons each. So, it'll keep the gauss cannon and tesla coil, but be on one CC. That way, we'll have mid and long ranged fire in one CC. He'll take up only 3 command slots, being one single large sized CC, which will leave room for more CCs, not to mention it's improved mobility, and lifting power.
Not to mention when you combine two CCs into a Large sized one, they automatically get awesome grenades with various abilities based off of which weapons it was out fitted with when combined. In this case, we'll have a sort of tesla-bomb.

Combine CCs #003 and #004!

Alternatively, we could combine CCs #001 and #003, which would mean they'd have close and mid ranged weapons, and throw electrified saws like Frisbees. However, as CC #001 only takes up 1 command slot, we'd not save any space.

[Draconi Redfir]

We can’t get rid of CC#001! He’s special!!!

You grow excited as your mind races through the possibilities. Imagine, your MINIONS becoming a single, gestalt entity stronger than all of them individually, allowing you to break the game as it has never been broken before! The other PLAYERS would cast their trembling eyes upon you, and they will despair even as they comprehend your magnificence, for they will know that none will ever again stand against you! “Help, help,” they’ll cry, and you’ll just laugh as you deliver the single greatest BOXES of their lives!

Sadly, the game won’t let you control large MINIONS at the moment. Oh, well, it’s not like you need über-MINIONS to win.

Ugh, UNBIDDEN TANGOBERRY SECRET SURPRISE. It’s like GENCORP is involved in some sort of conspiracy against you.

This. This. This. this. this. this. this. this.

MG: Use a SECRET MAINTENANCE CODE for the vending machine that you got from the forums to open it up and take what you want from inside.
