    For those of you who missed out on Derelict, this is just how shit works with Speed.

    Even your successes will likely lead to physical or emotional trauma.

    Yaaay no fighting by ear

    a happy speed means that they won't torture us too badly when we are totally taken hostage

    no a happy speed just means you'll only lose most of your limbs in the torture sequence instead of all

    Who needs limbs?

    The answer is me. I need them for limb related stuff. Don't take them.

    I am fully expecting a monkey's paw situation where I want to be Raiden so Speed just destroys all of Eden's limbs and forces me into a cyborg body.

    look

    this is a metal gear game

    the most recent metal gear game was about people being horribly dismembered and given robot bodies

    the soon to be released metal gear game is about the pain and trauma of losing limbs

    i don't know what you want from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Atlas grunts and rubs his eyes. "Ugh. Mine is not a happy head." Alarm flashes across his face as he checks his pack. "Good, good. It shall not return this day."

    He sees to the others, making sure they are ready to adjust the mission.

    Cedric Haul Solar Dog (Engineer +1) (Electromagnetism+1)

    The sudden deluge of water over the teams heads works wonders to shake them out of the impact shock, and in one capsule it elicits laughter. A calculation error. How rich. A mission nearly foiled by all those meticulous details would be saved by the experience and talent of the operative element. The laughs degrade to chuckles while he collects his tools from the crash site. Mostly hardware and very few electronics, the rain was no problem.

    Cofresi shrugs. "What can I say? Corpses were some pretty chatty cathies in life. Especially after Serb took a blowtorch to their bits. Talking about the big guy, he would drive you there, but he can't be seen anywhere near Kittie territory or else there'd be hell to pay."

    Cofresi uploads the coordinates and route to your Gnosis chips.

    "Just follow the big ol' arrows, though, and you should find the way. Don't make too much of a mess."

    The crew piles into the truck and rolls out into the night. The storm's still raging once you hit the streets. The neon reflecting off the slippery roads, combined with the absurd trickle of rain makes everything very hard to see for those without augmented vision, but thanks to your Qlip's gps system and it's big, fuck off directions, you manage to not have any fuck-ups worth mentioning. It's interesting, though. The light, the rain, it's like a line being drawn. It's such a subtle thing. Some of you catch yourself unconsciously looking up at that glass ceiling that's trapped you all down here. Some of you even have memories of life up there, thoughts of times that were arguably better.

    You know chances are good you'll never return to that life ever again, not even for a moment.

    Eventually, after parking the truck some ways away and taking the elevator up, you arrive at the club. The enormous sign identifies it as Abydos. Despite the storm, it seems to be bangin'. Must help that it's all inside. Only wet stuff in there are the drinks and the people. A line's formed outside of it, in front of the light-trimmed doors guarded by the freakishly huge and hideously muscled bouncer. That rat Cofresi really wasn't kidding. Their Qlip signature identifies them as Raisch Phoenix. The line consists of people of various subcultures, identifiable as Living Ones by all having some kind of cat theme going on. It's all very tacky.

    Quickly stuffing his gear into back of his terrycloth robe, Barton looks up as the Warden shouts at him. "Seal it, huh? Yeah let's try that."

    He removes the tin mug from its place, dangling below his neck, and raises it high by its chain. He backs up a few feet and calls out. "I'm ready to start whenever you are!"

    I'll make some posts tomorrow.

    Also, something just clicked in my head about the Silver II rules: the mechanics of the dice rolling, as DE?AD explains, is a metaphor for balance.

    Positive and negative. Yin and yang.

    Symmetry.

    Harmony.

    Could be a good foundation for me to do some experimentation...

    This is a cat.

    Can you say, "cat?"

    Cat. Cat. Cuh. Cuh. Cuh. Cuh-at. Cuh-at. Cat. Cat.

    Very good.



    <netEpsilon.DistractionTeam>{

    As Grizzly takes in his surroundings, one of the villagers collides with him. The woman staggers back and tries to catch her balance, and looks at him dumbfounded, as though she can't quite make sense of his being there. She furrows her brow, and then her expression softens, as though a switch were flipped.

    "Hola," she says, and then her next few words are garbled as the nanites attach themselves to the language centers of your brain, filtering her words into English for you. They'll also adjust the impulses you send to your mouth and vocal chords, translating your words to Spanish before they're even spoken.

    "--don't get many visitors. Certainly not Americans."
    };

    <netEpsilon.InfiltrationTeam>{
    Kangaroo's voice echoes in your ears as you proceed toward the base. "We've had a complication. The rail gun was miscallibrated, and as a result, the Distraction Team has landed inside the enemy base," he says, confirming your suspicions. "Stormclouds are preventing us from getting any satellite imaging, but considering that they've gone completely silent it's safe to assume that they've been captured. Consider rescuing the team an additional secondary objective: help them if at all possible, but do not jeopardize the mission for their sake."

    Nanites breaking down lactic acid as it builds up and maintaining muscle tissue during strenuous activity makes long distance running trivial, though the muddy terrain slows things down. The infiltration team makes it to the hills outside of Yavisa within an hour. As they approach the village, their HUD maps flare, 3 red markers appearing on them. 3 biometric signatures matching human beings, quite possibly enemy combatants, entering the city from the opposite side. The sound of static enters your ears as the nanites scan radio frequencies for chatter. Nothing turning up yet.

    Jian Lévesque Brawling Mantis (CQC Expert +1) (Hexnocular Vision +1)

    Coming to shortly after Atlas, Jian's oversized goggles simulate blinking as six irises separately adjust to the bright blue overhead. Forearms getting most of himself upright, his upper spine and neck pop as he quickly stretches and pushes himself to his feet. Between the smell and the grass, the second thing he notices is Atlas speaking to what appears to be some sort of local.

    "-tu pudiera mostrar punto*SSZZCrk*of interest, yes?"

    A palm comes up to hit the side of his mask as the machines inside of Brawling Mantis do their work. It's more of a self-assuring gesture then something done to accomplish anything at all technical,

    Even in safe mode, the little fucks never give up

    He grimaces, not that anyone else would notice.

    Spanish was an easy class in prep school, even.

    "Nice weather we're having", he states to the woman, scanning the circle of cottages for anything especially out of the ordinary, quite literally keeping an eye out for guns or any guards that should be carrying them.

    Hrm,

    "Like this most of the time?"

    Visigoth is motionless through the van ride, the eclectic pulse of its optic and a barely audible hiss from its speaker the only evidence it hasn't simply shut itself down for the duration of the trip.

    After arriving, Visigoth's secondary camera lenses whir gently as they adjust to the lighting outside of the elevator, taking in the sight of the thumping club, its gaze resting overlong on the imposing bouncer.

    "This Is Not Exactly My Scene," the scruffy, dinged up mech growls, thick and hoarse. "I Doubt I Will Be Entering Through The Front." Its torso clicks faintly. "That Leaves The Employee Entrance At The Back." Pause. "The Vent From The Floor Above." Pause. "Or Option C."
