Stygian Technologies: Field Agents - Discussion

Who's Fell talking about?

Lady Bedivere. Also, you need to post something - probably about how oh my god they're letting a known AI onto the squad.

Testing

Edit: Odd that used to work with AC. :/

Fun.

Now how to do quite robot text....

It's a lot easier to read regular text.

If your talking about over small text?

I very much agree, and would never use it for general speech, but some things are "Under there breath" like that last comment was suposed to be.

And small works good for that.

Posted.

Whoops. Should have clarified that the shotgun wasn't pointing back, but up. I know my gun safety basics and so would Vespa, seeing as she would have worked with them before.

Not going to edit this one but she's good about it otherwise.

Ah. You wrote that she put it on her shoulder so I went with what you had.

No real safe way to carry a gun on your shoulders yo.

Muzzle needs to go down.

iirc up or down, as long as it's not pointed towards everyone.

but yes normally down.....granted I'd not put it past stygian tech to have pressure sensitive safeties on the trigger.

Generally, unless you're putting it in a holster, you don't want to point the muzzle down, as a misfire could ricochet, while when facing upwards, the bullet will have enough distance that it likely won't come down on someone. Of course, that's for a single-story or outdoor range.

For an indoor range, I would assume that unless Stygian has some crazypants architectural design, upwards is still better. That's because the ground is likely hard concrete (to accommodate all the heavy equipment), and a bullet would ricochet instantly. A ceiling would have filler material between it and the concrete of the above floor.

Everyone should just use lasers. They don't ricochet unless you hit a mirror.

give vespa a little time. she hasn't had access to lasers yet. a nudge in the right direction would help her try them.

Aquatica, I did talk to Malware in my post. I just referred to him by his last name.

Oops. Sorry...

i looked up what torque is but i'm not great at physics, could you run that by me in layman's terms?

In this context it's the amount of angular force the hand/forearm can make relative to the elbow.

Or more simply, the strength of one's bicep flex.

Gotta get that cybernetic spine to get the torsion you need for mega-hooks with that arm. Unless you want to pull your back horridly.

I'm offering a timeskip to the mission once everyone's ready.

I'm fine with that

I am fine with it yes.

Yeah, I don't think Mal's getting a bullseye anytime soon.

Can doodly.

Although I assume that in this timeskip, we can handwave everyone introducing themselves to each other if need be? I know Serenity at least missed out learning peoples' names, don't know if anyone else does still.

I can dig it.

Sorry, turns out I was the one not ready for a timeskip. I'll make it my first post tomorrow.

well, hm. th as a good point, styg. can we handeave it by assuming she has the spine backup? i had it as canon that she's made a few brekthroughs by, well, literally breaking through doors and other solid, well constructed objects.

seeing as she's got no augmentations otherwise it seems reasonable to me.

also time skip is fine.
