Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
It might make sense for her to be IntAff's second plant. She could have blood nannies that counter the RedHack, which would explain why she didn't turn.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
It's possible the hostage was behind the line of Gavmogres who just spat nannies into the room. It would be slightly odd storytelling for her to survive, not turn, and then get roasted by the plasma discharge.

Schlock is no longer in his armor. Don't you think the former hostage might be inside it now?

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
I think it's more likely that Shlock switched out of his armor (he seems to be able to deploy the suit in a matter of seconds, do stowing it away is likely similarly swift) because it doesn't look like it's built for a close combat brawl, which is what this is rapidly going to descend into.
Also, remember, something else had Danita terrified- It's quite possible she saw the Gavmogre assault coming up behind Tagon and Co., so she wouldn't have been inside the plasma bath at all.Steam ID: The Great Squark

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Huh. I just assumed she was on a guy they encountered earlier, and that the rest were much farther behind.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Correct. Third- and fourth-degree burns destroy the nerve endings, leaving no sensation of pain. She probably feels numb all over with some minor pain on her back (which likely wasn't cooked as badly). It looks like she held her breath, so her lungs, vocal cords, and tongue are fine.
NSFL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_degree_burn#By_depth
Also, this probably means that her retroencephaloderm will fail. If the skin is the storage site for the brain backup, she doesn't have much left to back up from. RED is probably designed with this in mind, but her brain seems to be intact. She's also in the hands of the most capable field medic within a hundred kilometers. She'll pull through.Last edited by Thomar_of_Uointer; 2012-11-16 at 10:55 PM.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
This is far from the worst injury that we've seen people brought back from. Do any of the Toughs have the body that they started with anymore?

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Isn't one of the major issues with burn victims that they are very susceptible to infection? I assume Spiritskin is stuff to put on people who don't have good skin integrity.
And if they can get out, Danita will be fine. Eventually. I foresee her having a long bit of physical therapy and more psychological therapy.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Spritskin sounds like something you use when the patient's skin is either missing or heavily damaged; a "skin-graft in a bottle" so to speak.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
I should wonder how they plan to restore her, quickly considering the Magical Medkit, then remembering that this was confiscated and processed into the achievement of Project Lazarus, which is the very thing we are currently witnessing.

Are we sure she's human? The black holes where her eyes used to be makes it look likes there's nothing inside her skull.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Yeah, modern day, those sorts of burns aren't survivable. Actually, I'm amazed she isn't dead already - a combination of shock, trauma, and pretty much all the liquid in her body boiling should have been fairly fatal.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
In schlockverse, if your brain is alive (and hers appears to be), they can clone a new body to put it in.If you die, they can cut off your head and stick you in a nannie bag for later.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
That they could bring her back with demonstrated tech, I don't doubt. That she's actually capable of standing or, indeed, coherent thought at the moment is rather surprising.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Given medical tech seen so far, given that she is still talking, I would say she is going to be fine.
One thing that does feel surprising is that that considering her eyes got destroyed optic nerves and all, I am surprised the extreme heat she would have been exposed to didn't denature the proteins of her head noodle, literally poaching her brain. It can happen during extremely high fevers.Last edited by Ravens_cry; 2012-11-17 at 03:40 PM.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
I am operating under the assumption that Schlock just did a rapid sweep with his weapon set to as wide a spread as possible, and thus there wasn't enough free protons to make it beyond surface damage. Not medically trained enough to know if that's even possible.
Man this thing was full of outdated stuff.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
I'd point out that there was discussion about this in the page where he made that sweep. It specifically called out unarmored Humans surviving it, though they would need severe medical help.
He fears his fate too much, and his reward is small, who will not put it to the touch, to win or lose it all.
