Sure thing Trooper, I'll have a look at your transfer paperwork while I'm sitting at this station anyway.

Hey, this place looks nice. Snow, drinks and in house catering? Maybe I should find a lakeside resort after this gig.

Here, I'll pop out a skimmer drone to buddy up with you. I can't manevour this BT into that building.

Blood isn't nothing new, but the carbon scoring is a curiousity. Self defense thermals and bad aim? Have a look-see at that barracks if someone has conveniently left a note that says "HELP, THE SECOND SKY DONE DID ALL THIS".

Make this entire patrol lot easier if we can just write this all off as a cult thing.

Yeah, I see it, Bill. Look under the crate and in the gap. Any armless hands or legless feet? Nothing?

Okay. So - what you do next is - jam your hand in there and just kind of whisk it around-- No no, kiddin'. Looks like it ate something explosive that detonated and burst it clean apart.

Stand still - scanning. Oooh boy.

First bloodpool is human. Best guesstimate is our friend there ate someone, then that someone disagreed violently with them from the inside. Might have had implants the bug couldn't stomach. Ever try chewing down on a power cell? Bad stuff.

But what is it, and why would it eat someone?

What was that, Amice? No we can't re-negotiate contracts now. Focus.

Scratch one bug problem. Bigger roach looks meaner but still can't take a bullet.

Got a lead on what's occluding our sensors; some sort of passive EM intereference is playing havoc with the uplink. When you took out that last scuttlebug it cleared up in this sector.

Judging from the whiteout merrily devouring processing back-end, these bugs aren't alone out here.

Checking the perimeter first? Good call.

The intereference is fairly heavy from that builing up ahead, but I'm recieving trace pingbacks from deeper in the structure. They have a generator running in there powering something.

Let's see if the drone can't get a better read... trace isotypes, low key radiation nothing to worry about, neglible background flux... And a blank?

Something in that building is actually eating the telemetry signals. Which is a strange approach to stealth, we can see it just fine by the giant hole its tearing our sensor coverage. And it's moving?

Closer. . .

Oh. Well that explains the weird readings. BILL, YOU MIGHT WANT TO LEG IT.

If it they don't speak through chemicals or vibrations, maybe its touch exchange of some kind? They do eat each other. It's probaly trying to warn the rest and lure us in.

>>1658937
To explain fully, Trooper

The Veritas rolls 1d6+1 for damage, but 3d6 to attack. Every skill use is 3d6 to accomplish something. You want less than relevant statistic. Firearms for Shooting, Assault for Close Combat and Force, so on.

The damage itself is often read off of the same dice for convenience (So you roll 3d6 with 1d6 weapon, Command simply uses the first dice in your 3d6 chain to derive damage).

In situations where weapons do larger amount of dice, they're resolved on the backend when processing. Troopers are welcome to roll these themselves, but then it has to be in addition to the 3d6 roll to activate a skill (Which can be unfeasible if one fires a 9d6 weapon twice, as it would entail rolling 24d6).

Firing a veritas twice, one rolls 3d6 for the first and 3d6 for the second shot. The Veritas is a Blasting Weapon, so it does 1d3+1 on a hit, and the hits once again for every increment by which one passes the shooting check.

Fire Veritas. Have Firearms 10. Roll 3d6. Get 8. Hit once on 8, once on 9, once on 10. Total damage is 1d6+1, 1d6+1, 1d6+1.

Burst with the Veritas, get +1 per ammo expended.

Fire Veritas full auto. Firearms 10. +6 for 6 extra ammo spent. Roll vs 16. Get 8. Hit on 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

Do 1d6+1 * 9.

Against unarmored targets and soft materials, the breaching shotgun feasibly reduces it mostly to mush.

The MG is still gummed up and blocked, Troopers, but we can try a howtizer shot at danger close range. Or I can release some more drones. Or try stepping on these roaches. Give me some directions here, this bridge is too precariously thin to improvise on.

Trooper Bill, those things detonate when you shoot them - and that was precariously close to the command walker! Good reflexes, Trooper, but the prediliction to get the walker scratched full of claws and chemical burns is problematic.

and look at them go. That's the last of that swarm. Gave 'em a good kicking, bodies are piled three or higher. Well except for that charnel path Farrier blasted through the graveyard. Try not to step on anything that looks particularly corrosive or sharp, Troopers.

Interference is shifting. Signal stabilizing. I think I can actually get a broad-range signal to Command now, but it's still garbled. At least the drone metrics are looking good. The few we have left.

Take a breather. Patch up.

That last one with the... growths? It got away. I don't think we want to give it time to metamorph or phenotype re-orient or transsubstantiate into some meanier, bigger, be-clawed beastie.

I was having such a nice dream up until somebody woke me up real rough and the like. Everything was all shiny an white and the floor looked like cotton candy. Some guy with a little thingy over his head was scolding me for lickn the floor. I guess I should thank you Mick even if you did wake me up from such dream. No more potatoe jokes I promise, whoops just kidding.

I reckon we should hole up and bottleneck in the build where that egghead whatshisname is. (Kojima?) So he can mess with that console thingy, it looks important. I don't think the bugs will be giving our fellow humans a second pass again so lets leave em too it.

Might as well take the opportunity to ask some questions regarding the burst recoil mechanics I haven't messed with.

Focused fire is +4 skill so you can shoot up to 16 with my gun right?
Is the skill added to the Firearms for the recoil calc or only the hit chance?
Is recoil added -2 skill per burst or flat?
Is recoil added for non burst single shots?

How I assume it works please correct me

Firearms 14+4 (focus fire)
One attack 3d6
Roll 12 pass by 6
4 shots -2 all hit
4 shots -2 all hit
4 shots -2 all hit
Pass depleted Last shots miss

Hey guys, I got to go to the hospital for awhile. So feel free to use me as a minion. Good Luck!

>>1660916
Here's how it works: Burst fire allows you to increase your effective skill with the weapon by firing additional shots. As a Burst 1/4 weapon, the CIW grants +1 skill on an attack per 4 bullets fired. Then, as you know, 3d6 is rolled vs skill to determine successes. Recoil is essentially determines what percentage of those success equates to damage. Due to RCL 2, every increment of 2 successes adds a damage roll of 2d6+3, rolled by Command.

For comparison, Veritas' [Blast] is essentially RCL 1, since it adds a damage roll per increment of 1. In other words, for every single success.

Rolled 2, 5, 5 = 12 (3d6)

Mick:
>Move 444445

>>1660936
So do I have to expend a focus point to get the +1 skill or can I just call 4 shots and get it as a weapon ability? I'm assuming it's the latter and quick/normal/focus only helps buff your base skill roll right?

So I call 4 shots
14+1(burst) 3d6
roll a 9 pass by 6
I roll 2d6+3 ×3
One misses

Am I getting it right?

>>1660944
You can simply hold the trigger down to get your free shots for extra effective skill. at only marginal cost increase and more firearms discharge paperwork post-op.

So. Much. Paperwork.

4 shots as a weapon ability with a 1/4 weapon. And yes, only influences base skill.

With the CIW, you can compensate for the -2 Penalty with 8 bullets (-2 + 2 = 0), giving you the effectiveness of a normal action at the cost of 26% of your full magazine.

And then when you run out of bullets and the roaches tear your face off, you will learn to appreciate the art smaller bursts.

And yes. Precisely.

For /really/ advanced shooting, Command can even mention that targets that are in the same vector path as your projectile (usually straight behind a target) can get hit when you fire excess bullets.

Be mindful of your ammo. It'll run out much too soon.

Trooper Kromia, what precisely is this data you're feeding the consoles? It's not any kind of waveform I've seen recently. I don't have the core clusters to interpret what looks like seven petabytes of topology mathematics. Are you messing with signals one shouldn't mess with?

>>1660951
Forgot to ask, all those bullets in burst mode only go to one target? 1 quick/normal/focus attack only lets you target one enemy right? Or can you target more than one enemy with one firing action?

I'm assuming you can only overwatch weapons with one that has it in the description correct?

COMMAND, THIS IS PATROL 33-2-1. WE MAY NEED ASSISTENCE AT OUR POSITION--

Bloody console! There's too many of the bloody bugs, our long range communicator isn't getting /anything/ out of here.

Troopers, this is about to get kind of bad.

[ Trooper Turn ]

>>1660961
Yes. Point to point interface. One attack action, one target. Maximize your odds of hitting. For area denial, use your equipment.

As for weapons, anything can overwatch. That's simply being PREPARED for the future. Some weapons are just designed to allow to facilate it easier.

as a Breacher, you could even use your Focus to take a normal attack action, and then overwatch with it. Perfect for swooping around corners or kicking in doors.

====

It is POSSIBLE to target multiple targets, firing bullets all wild at a cluster. Unfortunately that makes aiming difficult. Every extra target is treated as another riding quick action, and you take -2 per target to all rolls.

3 targets. -6.
4 targets. -8.

Naturally your targets will have to be close to each other. Every hex you have to sweep your gun over is another -1.

Without compensating equipment, steady aim and the [Sweeper] talent, the waste of ammo would be tremendous. Is the TACOPS manual bereft of the talent?

Yeah, uh. Hm. I requested a different loadout from Command for this operation. That might be my fault.

But all that?

This is why this BT has a squad support weapon.
Give me a Gunnery Roll and a target, and you can leave the ammo expenditure to the weapon with the capacity in the hundreds.

[Trooper Turn]

>>1661934
okay trooper, you're all calibrate and good to go? Excellent. Now remember: No putting people into dimensions where they intersect with already existing objects. This is still experimental tech, and the ensuing material stabilization cascade is always problematic.

--
Resonance - 2

First all, you get a new stat.
RESONANCE
Or
RES. It is 3.

If there is ever a need for a base effect or metric, the outcome of your actions with resonance is 3 + your margin on success on a given roll. Otherwise, it relies on your skill.

You are VECTOR SPECIALIST.

You therefore gain the SKILL

Vectors - 12

Note that unlike Processing which is broadly capable of doing tasks, Resonance is specialized.

Vector manipulation is manipulation of movement, direction, location and other such spatial definitions.

Roll vs Vectors to move or redirect objects = margin of success.
Roll vs Vectors to negate movement and momentum = margin of success
Roll vs Vectors to jaunt yourself
Roll vs Vectors to jaunt others
Roll vs vectors to in general influence, nudge, push, change, reorient or redirect the movement and location of objects.
Yes, you are expected to experiment.

You may MAINTAIN an ongoing effect by spending 1 AP. For instance, you could handily declare that all incoming projectiles about to take your head off should rebound west, but maintaining this shield would cost 1 Ap per turn. Each projectile would also roll vs your Vector Skill when striking your reorientation, so maybe not walk into a minigun fire.

VECTOR SPECIALISTS have come up with the following in field uses
>Projectile Bouncer
>[Re-orient incoming projectiles in [X] direction]. Bounces up to Effect projectiles.
>[Intersect] Roll to move a small object into the location of someone else. The results are painful.
>[Disarm] That gun! It's NOT in your hand!
>[Dis-arm] That arm! It's NOT!

It is inadvisable to teleport objects or people in such a way that their materialization conflicts with an already present object. But you're going to do it anyway, aren't you?

Unlike every other skill in existence, Resonance may do 2 things that is marginally. . . unsafe.

You may opt to target 1 additional target for a -1 to your roll per additional target. Note that this also therefore dimishes total effect, because effect relies on the margin on your roll. But if you want to try and teleport an entire batteformation, you can.

You may /increase/ the BASE RES by accepting an INCREASE in the base failure rate. Critical failure is normally 8. You can push yor res to 4, and failure is 17. 5 and failure is 16. And on, and on, and on, until you do feel you're walking timebomb.

This [Aligning] costs 1 AP in either direction. You may [STABIIZE] at any time for 1 AP and return to your base res. Your surroundings may not be quite the same. And may take damage.

>>1663055
Get off of my comms protocol, you corporate goon.

And get your facts straight

An unmodified roll of 18 is a critical failure, not 8 or above. Unlike you shucksters our troops actually get ttraining.

Rolled 4, 1, 3, 6, 3, 3 = 20 (6d6)

The old Dawn cannon?
It works the same as a support weapon. It can reliably strike anywhere you can feasibly see, but keep in mind that I'm using your gunnery skill to give me a firing solution. Range penalties will apply from the BT. We can fire directly or in an arc, the cannon is adjustable.

However, we can only fire once a turn and afterwards we need to reload. A co-pilot can perform this reload action. It costs 3 AP. If there aren't any, the automated system can do it but then it will of course take longer.

We have two shell types.

20x Predator
3d6+3 VP

For anti-armor use. These will go clean through most vehicles, but will bounce off heav armor if fired through the front.

20x Blossom
1d6 VP +6d*3 EX [4d] Shrapnel

These go bang.

Very, very loudly, in a very, very large area. Unfortunately the anti personnel qualities make them utterly unreliable against armored vehicles of any quality. The shockwave will simply wash over. If its an open-topped vehicle however, then hey, so more's the pity for them not having a PROPER TANK.

Rolled 3, 3, 3 = 9 (3d6)

How about trying to target that formation thats going the flank us instead, we've already thrown frags all over the closer areas. You won't be able to take advantage of the blossom this close(unless you want to kill us all).

Dice didn't work?

The damage is twice that of a grenade, the AoE should be about that, too. I think that it'll be fine. I didn't see Mick shooting into the same area, I'd switch to 2[5] 3[3], right on top of the green glowing one if I could.

I also wanted to see if the big ones will need Predator rounds or if the Blossom will affect them.

>>1663048
Gonna go ahead and bot Ferrier for this round incase he doesn't make it in time.

Ok i'll take it from you then, might want to get a tripcode btw incase your id changes again.

He models it off of GURPS, I think. The explosion I am not so worried about and I am hoping the bodies will absorb the shrapnel.

That is what is dangerous in GURPS, the shrapnel.

Just got up. Assessing.

Rerouting power to the barracks and generator control fires up the standard sensor net. What follows is a shrill alarm burst and a voice declaring NOISE LEVELS IN EXCESS OF EXPECTATION along with BIOCHEMICAL WARNING; PLEASE CHECK YOUR REBREATHER.

And then following that it gets real, real loud.

WELL DONE, TROOPERS

They're still coming! How are they still coming!??! Shouldn't they have a survival instinct?


INCOMING-- What-- no? NO! Those big ones, the projectile actually penetrated the front armor. It's some kind of exothermic compound. Luckily they have terrible aim and they're really slow.

Trooper Farrier? Are you... seeing this? The ones caught in the smoke cloud, they're all confused. What? Maybe their system can't take it?

[TROOPER TURN]

>>1663678
Seeing a godsend, is what I'm seeing.

Does one of us need to help Darius in that state, or can he do it?

>>1663718
Let me check the readout. . .

Trooper Darius is suffering from internal bleeding, external bleeding, ischemic shock, lacerations, cuts, rents, bruises, fractures, compound fractues and what the biomonitor refers to as an "ouch".

Trooper Darius will need some assistance. And someone will have to get them out from under that pile of bugs.
