At last check, the group on the ship were 2-3 hours ahead of everyone not on the ship.

[Felhammer]

Yup, there's still a marked disparity but at least we're in 3 groups rather than 6.

We're getting somewhere then, lol.

[Lucretia]

Now to split up into 9 groups! Graff, cut Lillian in half -- we'll literally split up!

[Noedig]

@DM: How fast will that building collapse if I knock out the beam? I sure as hell won't take the stairs in any event. Probably looking at another rappel down the building with the last of my rope.

Depends. Will each half regenerate into a full copy of the whole?

[Lucretia]

I'm not a starfish!

[Philistine]

You never know with aliens.

I was thinking, jumping out of a collapsing building and landing on a Hover Car that was passing by.

[Philistine]

He's only on the third floor. So that's, what - 20' up? Maybe 25'? Pshaw, I say. Pshaw.

Anyway. I really want to get a clarification from TC before Graff replies to Ice.

ETA: Ack! Can't believe I forgot this - I'll be traveling over the holiday weekend. I will have limited-to-no internet access until Monday, most likely.

We miss you already!

Winning. I will be doing that. Don't care if it succeeds. Too awesome to not try. Jarik is going to see if anyone will make a movie of this little mission. It'll be like a Star Wars Die Hard.

[Noedig]

Now in regards to the worst idea ever: can I make the jump from the tunnel or do I have to leave the hatch and get back on the office level? I'm fine with either, but I need to know what is possible.

[Noedig]

Props on the use of the Carnifex Hand Cannon. I love me some Mass Effect.

[Thundercracker]

Kel is with Staen, not Ice. :)

[Major]

So since you guys know vehicle upgrades and stuff better than I do based on the first few pages can I just ask what does turning a weapon into an "autoblaster" do?

[Lucretia]

I feel like there was still a question about something Ice said that Phil asked that needs to be answered before we can continue that scene, but I can't recall what it is...

And now I'm lost.

Er? I missed something?

Edit: Ice suggested Graff go get treated for gonad rotting spores rather than walk into a trap, was that it?

Is this meant to be IC confusion on Ice's part? Because we were just talking about a message from the Darth, in posts #392-397 - that's what prompted Ice to play back his holorecording of the massacre outside the casinos.

ETA: Soooo quiet today...

Was that answered?

[Thundercracker]

Ice doesn't know the message was found on the Dawn. If he did, he would immediately scour R8 and the maintenance droids' programming (after the debacle on the broadsword when we were betrayed by an astromech droid) as well as check ship and hangar recordings (if there are any) for the identity of who infiltrated his baby.

[Lucretia]

That doesn't answer the question Phil asked some time ago. Graff and Lilly talked about the recording, and Ice played what he thought might be the recording. Then Ice asked something that prompted Phil to ask in the OOC if Ice's confusion was legitimate, since it was something Graff and Lilly had been discussing with Ice moments ago.

[Thundercracker]

Sorry, missed the post from earlier. Yes, it's IC confusion. I'm trying to give us something to do/talk about while the other guys finish up their combat... yeah that's the ticket
(I missed the bit where he said the message was found on the ship.)

Edit: Oh no wait, now I remember, I hadn't read your guys' IC posts, and I (and by extension my character) thought that the broadcast that Ice sent out _was_ Mastigo's message. I have since read and caught up on all the IC stuff Ice doesn't know. Maybe I should just read the IC stuff for everyone next time and save a lot of trouble... :P

[Felhammer]

You guys can continue to do stuff.

[Noedig]

And there was much rejoicing.
I'm aware of what the Neo-Crusader armor looks like, and if I'm not mistaken, the battle armor is standard beskar'gam. The assault armor is unique to me. Any explanation?

[Felhammer]

Neo-Crusader Light Armor: Light Armor; +6 to Ref; +2 to Fort; +3 Max Dex; 6 Speed; 42 Kilos; 4 unused slots; Internal com link, helmet package, 10 hours of life support.

Mandalorian Neo-Crusader Battle Armor*: Medium Armor; +8 to Ref; +2 to Fort; +2 Max Dex; 4 Speed; 18 Kilos; 6 unused slots; Internal comlink, helmet package, 10 hours of life support, Jetpack.

Mandalorian Neo-Crusader Assault Armor: Heavy Armor; +10 to Ref; +4 to Fort; +1 Max Dex; 4 Speed; 65 Kilos; 6 unused slots; Internal comlink, helmet package, 24 hours of life support, Jetpack (armor is too heavy, so fly speed of 4 squares per turn).


*Name in the chart and name in the description are different. It might be different than what you were thinking of.

[Philistine]

I take it these are the Mandalorian armors from the KotOR CG then, rather than S&V?

In other news, I'll be back for real in 8 hours or so.

[Noedig]

Going to have to go with the medium armor. I was going to spend the feat on it when I hit 9 anyway, and this is a helluva lot cheaper than saving up for Katarn Commando armor.

Edit: As far as upgrades are concerned, I'm thinking integrated vibroblade gauntlet (a la Republic Commando), integrated mechanics visor, integrated electorbinoculars, ready harness, both environmental systems, weapon mount (miniaturized flamethrower gauntlet, like Jango Fett), and Shadowskin (reflec if possible).

I'm not to savvy on the upgrade rules, so I have no idea if all that is possible, or acceptable. Any suggestions?

Anyone still confused (I know I would be)? Basically Ice is waiting for confirmation that Mastigo's message, the one Lilly is keeping secret, was found inside the Dawn, then he's going to want to do a whole bunch of stuff before leaving the ship.

[Philistine]

Okay, thanks. That's what I was looking for.
