Dr. Chronos Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I suggest Crumble going first. He's the one with the social skills and we'd really like to recruite these guys... and at close range he might be able to tell if it's a clone or even Glean. Also if it does turn violent then Smite can (hopefully) make his move from surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rama Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Rama will close to a distance enough to (attempt) to keep a calm on the situation but staying back and out of sight. He shifts his eufiber into commoner clothing with a hood and uses q-attune while Crumble approaches to (hopefully) tell if the other being is about to power up anything.

Narrator Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 he did call you as you introduced yourself, so Joe it is... that was a misdo on my part...sorry.And yes, the port was Ban breaking as far as you can tell Crumble. There is a hint however of some 'colored' quantum about the use of power that hints to the user attempting to 'bribe' the Ban...{{When I say coloered it is referrence to the fact that all enrgies emit a sort of color to QA and mega-perception. A trained eye could determine that one color of the quantum was being used for the initial power use and the differring color in quantum would be residual or unused and thus get gobbled up and then subsequently ignored by the Ban.}} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Chronos Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 What is an Integrity Manshark heavy pistol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrator Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 The Integrity Manshark is a Heavy Pistol in line with the Ares Predator. Integrity is the firearm manufacturer. <!--coloro:#FF6600--><span style="color:#FF6600"><!--/coloro-->The Man shark fires a 11.53x35mm round and is a massive revolver. It is chambered for the .454 Casull cartridge, one of the most potent rounds in existence. TheManshark incorporates numerous recoil-reducing designs, such as an integral compensator and 3cm-long expansion chamber in the barrel, as well as specially designed ergonomic grips. The Manshark also features fully-adjustable fore- and rear sights, as well as available mountings for other optics, and a unique hex-key operated security system that locks the hammer in place, and comes with a standard 16cm barrel. The Manshark is perhaps the highest caliber (and most powerful) handgun usable by unaugmented humans.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrator Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Quote:Crumble will note the lights dimming ever so slightly and some people of the masses around him look up toward the ceiling now and then as if something caught their eye. Nova's within 400 meters will notice an acrid "feel" to the quantum being channeled.Crumble and Smite (AND ANY OF THE NEW ONES WITH MEGA INTEL) will note these as tell tale sign of a start of ban beacon. If similar powers to the one that offended it in the first place are cancelled and not used in the region (possibly up to 500 miles away) the beacon will fade in a matter of minutes.For that matter, Eve and Chronos back at the base will get an alarm telling of the event as well.

Dr. Chronos Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 OK, does that mean even cloaked powers can't be used right now? Or is warping out still an option as long as the Ban is bribed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrator Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 cloaked should work..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrator Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 meaning that cloaked spatial manipulating powers should be safe to use. ONly offending like-powers are at risk.Mind you, since the Ban is looking, it might be sensible and prudent to refrain from using any Banned powers in the vacinity. However, I said 'Should' because all the best guess from the studies of the ban energies assume such facts from testing and close measure. The powers will always work when a Ban incursion is in effect but they might be more subjct to backlash from the Ban and such.Crumble and those in the 'know' would consider it a safe bet to use another banned power in the vacinity if and only iff it was cloaked. Using a similar power as what formed the beacon would be asking for it.Quote:When he reaches the three he looks intently at Crumble. <!--coloro:#3366FF--><span style="color:#3366FF"><!--/coloro-->"My powers are normally cloaked from the Ban even without "The Bribe." I can reinforce this cloaking with the method we have been taught...In your experience will this be enough to allow us safe transport home?"<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->{If the answer is yes, Rama will open up his Warp. In addition to his usual cloaking he will pay he extra quantum to hide from the Ban for good measure.}In short, say the Ban is normally at 12 AP's of Awareness. Now because of it hearing the port by San, it is focusing here more intently, say at 24 AP's. It is aggreably twice as sensitive now as ever so it would be best to use the bribe in conjunction with your normal stealth.Again however, this is all best guesses you are gambling your life on, potentially speaking.

Jedi Richard Thorne Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I don't know if Richard's Telekinesis power is Ban-breaking or not, but I'm also assuming that you can drop more than usual to make the cloak more effective; he'd happily up it by half if it means a better chance of getting away with it.However, if the crate is light enough for him to carry it, then there's no need for TK at all.

Dr. Chronos Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 OK, on the subject of what to do next,I think we should go after the source of the weapons.Reasons:1) San & Kinter would be useful when looking for that other nova, and they're going to be in medical right now getting healing/training.2) It'd be useful to find out if the source of the weapons is from the powerful nova that created San & Kinter.

Rama Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Agreed...but we need to ask Henrick who he met with to get the weapons. Was it Sinal or someone else...We should attempt to capture and confront her regardless since she was up to no good regardless.And I agree that we should confront Wisp with San and Kinter...making him come clean in front of us and them will help win them to our cause...especially since it seems like he sent them on a suicide mission...at the same time we can see about rescuing their sister.
