Now, I know we have a pretty open acceptance policy around these parts. HR doesn't like asking too many questions and most of you don't really like answering all of them.

We can accept that.

But keep in mind that we're supposed to work for the government on this one, so there are a few rules.

It's all boilerplate stuff. You'll see the contract on your datapads. We have paper copies available if you touching electronics makes them explode.

The ones that bears mentioning is are the more specific stuff.

A) Give people a chance to surrender
B) Ziplock them if they're unwilling to keep fighting
C) Minimize collateral damage
D) Get the hostages out alive (if you find them).

That last one is pretty important, so I don't know why they put at the bottom of the list. Good enough for government work.

You're welcome to use any gear you've checke out properly with quartermaster, and if not, we can fill in the essentials from company stores. Mostly ours is standard offerings from Kore Industrial, plus the old not-quite-scrapped biped unit. Its not really a combat model, but the autonomous weapons & assistence platform can still provide fairly useful support if it has a pilot.

--

As for the Adherents of the (Infinite?) Flame themselves, we're not quite sure what to expect. Some sort of isolationist creed who goes on about restoring the empire of old, but we can't tell you what empire precisely or why they'd try to do it out here of all places.

Most of them are just angry, somewhat disgruntled office workers looking for a weekend cult to blow off some steam and will likely re-settle back into society just fine with some deprogramming but the cult leaders and zealots are going to be a problem.

Grab your stuff, sign the waiver, and then get ready to go. Take the central structure, sweep it for hostages and hostiles, and try not to kill more people than you absolutely have to. I have to fill out six pages of paperwork to argue due cause for each one, and I /will/ dock your bonuses if it means spending overtime.

Reading, this looks based. Is this really the first thread or should I do some reading?

>>1348404
Oh, by all means. Some our sister agencies have done a few things that are, at best, similar.

14 - Iconograph
“Swear No Oath,
Make No Deal”
[Iconograph] Aptitude. Iconography can be upgraded for a statpoint, but so far, here is what you know:

1 AP draws 5% of an Icon. You can return to finish an Icon once begun. Once you’ve drawn 100% of the Icon, the effect is triggered. The nature of the Effect depends on the Icon drawn. Icon availability depends on the world and map. Good Iconographs check before they draw (and make really precise portrait sketches!)

Trdrak -- All [Empyreal] or [Fire] generated within 8 Squares is automatically moved to the Trdrak Icon and held. Iconograph can detonate total reserve with 4 AP (at any time).
Hygea -- Causing 50 HP worth of injury (multiple sources count) on top of this Icon summons a Harbringer
Seralin -- 3x3 around Seralin, all non-melee damaging effects to result in 0 damage. Melee attacks inside the Seralin bubble autohit.
Valkoquestor -- Anyone standing on Valkoquestor only takes damage after they leave. Damage accumulates.

>>1348456
You'll have to run that one by our paperwork again - if you're a veteran, you're a veteran. WHich is nice but they're not really known for sprouting gills.

>>1348457
Good to have your Irving. We'll leave that up to your discretion, we can approach from any angle East, North and West. So it depends on team composition and gear.

Apologies, let me be stridently clear - your nice nametag says Mx. "Soon 2 Be Veteran".

Veterans don't need to roll on the Asset table, because they're Veterans not Assets.

A 5 on the Asset table gets you - if you want it -

VatGrown.
Tubeborn, petri-dish schooled and injection fed.

Bonus:
* Modified. +3 Statpoints, assign as you like. Roll 1d10 for random aspect.
* [Cellular Regen]. 1 AP to roll vs current HP to heal 1 HP
Malus:
* Genetic Determinism.
Pick one of Tech, Comp, Manifest or Proc. It sets to 1, can never be higher.
* Failures on medical or chemical rolls incur complications.

with another roll for...
8 - Survivor - Filtration filters out any metabolic hazard. Consume organic for +xd5 hp.

And a lovely 75 Credits to spend.

If you'd rather fill out the veteran paperwork, we can write this entire transgenic thing up to a paperwork fluke.

>>1348447
Which goes double for you - 75 Credits.

>>1348473
I am...extremely uncomfortable carrying these. People wake up from the comas eventually, right? If they're legal it must be okay!

Ahem.

Yes, Con Arkul, you papers seem to be in order.

+75 Credits
16 - Convocant
Gain the [Convocation] Aptitude.
Convocation spends your HP to get the attention of Icons.
Unlike Iconographs, you /force/ the ephemeral gods to do your bidding. Convocation can be upgraded by spending a stat point.
For now, what you know is this:

[Drain] - 1 AP drains life, converting it to [Vita]. RNG = Manifest. You can store Vita = your Manifesting.
[Compel] - roll 5% per AP + 1*HP spent + 1*Vita spent to Compel an Icon to do something.
A wise Convocant acquires a library of possible icons, and tries not to demand too much at once.

Trdrak
If successful, detonate 1 flammable source. -10 % per source to detonate.
Empyreal Spriteling
If succesful, spawns a Emp. Spriteling, a small self-aware flame that will likely soon grow bigger. -10% per 1 word in a command it spawns with (“Don’t burn me!” = -30%)
Hygea
If successful, spawn 1 Beneficient Herald Of the Singing Spheres. -10% per word in an order it spawns with (“Keep me alive!” = -30%).
Not many Convocationits survive Compelling Hygea.
Seralin
If successful, target can only use Melee attacks for 1 turn. -10% per turn duration.
Valkoquestor
If successful, all damage taken for 1 Turn is Stun. -10% per Turn duration.

Rolled 8, 15 = 23 (2d20)

That's a lot of things to wrap my head around. For now, some dice, because why not give myself even more to read?

That's not a Sigil, Irivng. We'd all be on fire if it was. Maybe you can ask Karl if he sees any when he gets out there. It is a camera though. Mind be careful not stepping into the sightline if you want to scout some more.

May as well be boring and see how sword and board works out, since I haven't the AP to handle most ranged weapons.

For expedience, rolling a couple 1d100s for Morphological Freedoms. Rolls are against 50. Let's say I'll roll until 5 successes or 3 failures, whichever comes first, and assign stat changes after. Vaguely wish I had taken the Manifesting and Processing 1 drawbacks so I could drop the raw stats to 1 without a care, but oh well.

>Iconograph Rune scribe Karl
[Iconograph] Aptitude. Iconography can be upgraded for a statpoint.
1 AP draws 5% of an Icon. You can return to finish an Icon once begun. Once you’ve drawn 100% of the Icon, the effect is triggered. The nature of the Effect depends on the Icon drawn. Icon availability depends on the world and map.

Trdrak -- All [Empyreal] or [Fire] generated within 8 Squares is automatically moved to the Trdrak Icon and held. Iconograph can detonate total reserve with 4 AP (at any time).
Hygea -- Causing 50 HP worth of injury (multiple sources count) on top of this Icon summons a Harbringer
Seralin -- 3x3 around Seralin, all non-melee damaging effects to result in 0 damage. Melee attacks inside the Seralin bubble autohit.
Valkoquestor -- Anyone standing on Valkoquestor only takes damage after they leave. Damage accumulates.

1 AP draws 5% of an Icon. You can return to finish an Icon once begun. Once you’ve drawn 100% of the Icon, the effect is triggered. The nature of the Effect depends on the Icon drawn. Icon availability depends on the world and map.

Trdrak -- All [Empyreal] or [Fire] generated within 8 Squares is automatically moved to the Trdrak Icon and held. Iconograph can detonate total reserve with 4 AP (at any time).
Hygea -- Causing 50 HP worth of injury (multiple sources count) on top of this Icon summons a Harbringer
Seralin -- 3x3 around Seralin, all non-melee damaging effects to result in 0 damage. Melee attacks inside the Seralin bubble autohit.

That's quite allright, our field manual is terribly written.

You do in fact have that, yes - and it's 75. Command should node you get Nodespace for free. That should be sort of implied in that whole "discorporate AI" thing, but it mightn't be as obvious.

It's easier to process mod dependent actions if you mention you are specifically using those mods. Without doing so, Command is apt to assume you're not entirely clear on how much AP you can actually use.

In the most simple of sense, if you do not write it in your action post, it does not happen.

I've reset your servo blowout manually, and you may count yourself at full INT.

Excellent job, Sophont. We have some overdue tax filing we would like you to do as well if you feel you've got a hankering to organize data. Do it right and the Company will throw in a new spreadsheet package!

Also does this say you're an Analysis and Fire Support optimizer? That seems dangerous.

>A sentence was somewhat unfortunately dropped from your sophont data - a sophont can sustain Programs up to Processing, so you can pick one more if you like.

Your Res would be 3 / 10, as your HP is 10 - but as an electronic lifeform, I'm sure you won't need to worry about bullets.

>>1351650
Well then, with my paperwork all filled out, I believe I've just got one more question. Can I use my Analysis package and Support abilities without having a node controlled in the area of operations?

Since you've got a free link to the recieving equipment of every operative currently on the field, the answer is yes - you are acting from them by the use of your [Freeloader] talent.

That's also how the Analysis Package is most easily applied.

Excellent. That being said, though, I can see there's thankfully one mostly-intact drone within hacking range of an allied operator.

>>1351539
I'll try to hack the drone that's immediately north of the clusterfuck of mechs and dogs. The field manual is a bit fuzzy on specifics, but I think I'll put 6 AP into the hacking attempt.

To avoid confusion here - Foam > Action Pool = Target contained - you have to spray people a bit for it to take. With 11 AP to spare, that's 22 points.

A strict reading of your action sprays Purple Guy & Dogs for 2 points each. Command opted to assume you wanted to contain them, so split out available AP as appropriate.

The Tankette is in very good condition.

>>1351794
It's the only drone within my hacking range, so I don't exactly have any other targets.

Okay, quick question, when you're in a mech, which square do you use to determine movement? That might be part of our handling problem.

>>1351906
THAT IS--- A very good point, Pilot.
---

The Centurion operates as a 2x2 box, using your current facing as "Front" - Front being where hammer, cockpit and shield are all facing. It does not need to "Turn" as such, and any direction from the central box moves the box - but of course because of the leg system, the entire mech array will swing around to take up a nice facing.

The "Reliable", our AWAPS, is a little clunkier because of the extra armor plating. It treats the central forward square as your movement originating point, and handles all operations in relations to that. That means it pulls slightly to the left or right when you do turns.

You can throttle the amount of movement forward you make if you want to take less than your full allotment ( to avoid crashing into things ). It costs the same. Specify "½movement"
