phoenix Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Verse irritates me sometimes (and he owes Glacier one for taking a chunk out of him in, like, three seconds after they met ::tongue), but I congratulate Nullifier on playing him very consistently over the span of QZ.

Alex Green Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 So will T2M...This would be why T2M novas aren't supposed to go into battle unless they have a 2:1 numeric advantage (although it was in character for her (or Pax) to do so... and without Path's move she would have won).So prof ow much damage does a few tonnes of sand do? I'm just currious as to the mechanics used.I'm going to go out on a limb here. It didn't need to do any damage (although the fall might have hurt). Standard flight doesn't work through water (or sand). She got buried, she fell, the bear killed her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfPotts Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Terry nods drowsily as sweat drips down his temples and the sheen of his black uniform dims somewhat (uses stored quantum points in EUfiber). Psyche's body limply lifts in the air and darts towards Terry and the warp.Okay - Terry can't actually see Psyche's body (if you recall it was Glacier who spotted her) to start with - just a pile of sand with a disipating cloud of sand on top of that.Also - what's he using those QP to do? If it's Telekinesis, then he can move something at at maximum rate of 10 meters per turn - & Psyche dropped 70 meters away from PathFinder's portal.Remember the incoming Pax bit? Is Terry honestly spending the time to search for a body then levitate it across to the portal? Presuming PathFinder can even keep it open that long? It'll take Terry a couple of turns to sprint to the portal himself...I know these things can get a bit confused, but I was trying to convey a sense of urgency with the whole 'World's most powerful Nova coming to kick your head in' thing...Between PathFinder saying that Pax would arrive in 'less than a minute' & her forming a portal back to the Blackburn there's been about 42 seconds. How much more time is Terry willing to spend before he uses the exit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archer Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Just want to make sure I understood what just happened...Mind racing the Nova vigilante quickly calculates that everything he's witnessed would be, theoretically, possible with the current level of cutting-edge technology in the world. He just finds it hard to conceive of any government or military group which would be prepared to shell out the, frankly, insane amount of money it would cost to equip what are essentially infantry in such a sophisticated manner. On the other hand, very few people other than government or military groups would have access to such levels of technology.and this:As for their level of co-ordination, the idea of military training & a closed-channel sub-vocal radio link springs into his mind as an alternate to telepathy or a hive-mind... He also recalls that he didn't really surprise them with his attack - as they were looking at him when he pulled & threw his grenades. Advanced body armour could brush aside the concusion grenade's force, & sound & light dampners could easily cope with the flash-bang.I'm assuming this means that The Stranger thinks the most likely option, based on what he knows, is that the Templar soldiers are very well-trained soldiers equipped with cutting-edge, no, make that bleeding-edge technology. And, based on that supposition, it's also likely that they are government or military funded. Did I read that right?Then this part: He also surmises that, if they are robots, then they are vastly beyond any technological capabilities he's heard of in the modern world.Which to me, again supports the conclusion that it pretty unlikely they're actually robots. That's fine by me...I think I let ol' Stranger's conspiracy-addled brain run off with his imagination in that last post. A well-equipped military-trained cadre of medieval ninjas is obviously more likely than robots, after all. ::wink ::laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfPotts Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Well - the game setting being what it is, we can't rule anything out... But The Stranger is smarter than both of us, so yeah - he doubts that the telepathic robots idea is gonna' pan out much... ::tongue ::wink What he thinks is that they seem to be wearing tech-based armour & using tech-based equipment which is feasible, but hard to get hold of & expensive. They could be anyone under the suits, but they appear to have military or para-military style training. Beyond that it's anyone's guess. Maybe Interface has been using his 'create anything' powers to whip-up suits of hi-tech armour on the side? Who knows?Yeah - they could be telepathic robots, or Novas, or anything else, but he's seen nothing to suggest that they have to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
