"Hey Paper, could you look around for parts to make a crossbow ?"
*He pours the brew into a flask, he flicks the flask switch it humms lightly and he leaves it.*

Who is at base ? and who is out walking ?

Night_Shade · October 2003

"I'm with you all the way, Spark, despite my sarcasm, but I honestly don't think we're going to find a lot lying around that we can use to make a crossbow out of. ...Wait a minute. Ed, didn't you say Wynona fires, like, darts or something?" 'darts' being saboted flechettes <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
"Hey, AI. Not only would the virus scanners pick you up, but if you're in the ship's computer wouldn't you be part of the nanogrid...and have the bacterium constantly attacking you as well? Oh, and do you have a name?"

Bogglesteinsky · October 2003

"AI controlling the ship? did any of you see 2001: A Space Odessy? Predicitions of space travel completely wrong, but there was a computer called HAL. When the crew changed thier mission, he killed them. Leave that hunk of software on the PDA."

deaincaelo · October 2003

"no, i havent heard of the digitalizatoin tech, but it sounds sorta low key. im more into the spacial anomolies. and anything big that happens."
*listens to everyone else*
"what, you dont trust this AI? what, worst case senario she kills off the khraa and we have to high tail it out of here. or we leave her to get killed by the aliens. and im shure we have a hacker somewhere that could help her past the ICE. "
*shrug*
"but it doesnt really matter. we have the com here to use the nano-grid for us, and he doesnt really need the help."

PFCNublar · October 2003

*looks around in the odd room*
"Man this place if freaky. Are we going to do something in here or what? Because if we aren't, then I want to run back to base. I don't think I want to be here when we get a load of skulks on our ****."
*plays with saftey nervously*


Yes, I am gone, in the far away death trap room thing. Scary.

Bogglesteinsky · October 2003

"at the moment, we are trying to get through here as quickly as possible"

zooby · October 2003

"How's that? We're all standing around waiting for something to happen."

deaincaelo · October 2003

"we're waiting for the vents to weld shut so this room doesnt end up being a deathtrap" 
and im in the trap too

Rokiyo · October 2003

"Oh right, guess that guy with the welder had better hurry up and start then!"
[I start looking for access or control panels for each of the vents and start welding them.]
[If P-Khan's vent experiment fails then I laugh at him before repairing the wiring he tore apart and welding it shut properly, else I leave it alone]
[color=00FF00]
OMG HAX: [f-then-else] scripts... Next thing you know I'll be coding aimbots for roleplay characters... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

*covers Revenge*
"Naw terran, this place is cozy"

Mr_Headcrab · October 2003

"Wynona fires regular EAM 1.87 bullets , but she should be able to fire darts too. the FAMA series were just explosion assisted rail drivers anyway, as long as the container its launching is ferrous metal, and under 1.87" in diamater, She should be able to fire. Although it isnt gonna penetrate as deep as you would expect, would have to get to medium range for it to get a good solid hit."
*Ed starts checking the specs on the screen on Wynona."

Lord_Darkness · October 2003

I said in my last post that her name was Mercura.

"I wouldn't be part of the nano grid, each of those things are controlled by a program that gets its orders from another program sitting in his nice, comfy, safe server watching what's happening through a few active I/O Nodes around him. If that program had the chance, he'd constantly be in sleep mode. AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING A HUNK OF SOFTWARE!! IF YOU WERE IN HERE I'D DEREZZ YOU ON THE SPOT FOR COMPARING ME WITH PROGRAMS YOU CAN DOWNLOAD OFF THE NET!"
"Gentlemen and lady, we have all learned a valuable lesson here, never p!ss off an AI program."
*hears Dea say that she's never heard anything about digitizing as I cover the PDA's speaker with my thumb*
"I think both of your fathers' companies are working on it as a sort of joint venture. I know that Omni-Science is one of them. And are we gonna move on to nano control or not?"

343_guilty_spark · October 2003

"Well Ed seeing how i brought you back from the dead, you think you could try firing the flechettes into a Fade or Onos when you encounter one ? They should be done in 2 or 3 hours, just freezing them down abit now."
*He thinks for a second.*
"Am i a necromancer ?"

Bogglesteinsky · October 2003

"Never p*ss off an AI? What can she do? Launch her PDA down my throat and choke me to death? Dont make me laugh. She is just a bunch of subroutines with a few ones and noughts."

Night_Shade · October 2003

So you did. My bad
"Well, I guess it's a good thing I fix people, not computers."
*taps headset*
"No, not technically, Spark. If he'd been dead much longer tho, then yeah, you'd be a necromancer."
*chuckles into the comm system*

Rokiyo · October 2003

Soz for the 100% OOC post, but just wanted to point out how much simpler this would have been if when xect described the room we went "ok looks pretty... and dangerous... but I keep walking..."

xect · October 2003

The vents, being pretty basic stuff, are easily welded together
Excuse me, but we need to get that hive fast. Don't you think we should rather leave the securing of sectors untill we're not about to get crushed?

Rokiyo · October 2003

"Oh right, good point... We've been wasting a lot of time actually..."

*Starts walking, albiet at a quicker pace to try and make up for lost time*

Oopsies, had my color tags showing <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'>

Venmoch · October 2003

*Walks On*
"I wouldn't call this place cosy, something isn't right here, its a little warm. Or is that just me. That and the air seems like a da*m soup with the humidity."
*looks around*
"Could someone check the average humidity levels for this area and the current humidity unless I'm just freaking out again."
*starts scanning dark areas with flashlight*

Night_Shade · October 2003

"You two have the point. Ven, how's your leg holding up?"
*taps headset*
"Ed, if I give you a 1cm x 12cm plastic syringe with a needle, will Wynona be able to fire it and keep it stable? I have an old style syringe in my pack in case my nano-injector clogs, and we may be able to fill it with Spark's brew and use your Wynona to fire it. Spark, is your brew going to fit through a double-0 needle without clogging?"
*moves off, following Venmoch and Revenge*

Khaim · October 2003

*Starts Walking to the wp again and rolls his head around to look back at ven*
"We've alread wasted enough time and all the exits beside this one are sealed, so comon man, maybe that parasite... thingy... is getting to your head."
*Mutters something about crazy AI's and never wanting to have to program with one.*

343_guilty_spark · October 2003

"Yeah the brew should fit just fine, like i said 2 hours or so left, its freezing pretty well, i added a root that calms down the mind and body, good thing is this root is kinda related to the bacterium so it shouldn't find it a threat, the flower is pretty nasty though, it renders you blind but combined with the root then you'll feel completely calm and not care and because the bacterium cant see you guys then the Kharaa will be recycled, that's the theory though."
*Looks around at the base. He takes his headset off and lays down.*
"Hey paper, wanna play cards ?"

BlackMage · October 2003

do you need reinforcements?
and is blue used?

Khaim · October 2003

feel free to join, just give xect a pm, and yes blue is used, by boggle i think. Just use the same thing revenge does, [Color = #XXXXXX]

Rokiyo · October 2003

Just keep it simple though. Come in through IPs as a standard soldier with standard weaponry. Don't post a character profile, but if you want to create one for yourself. Let us know who you are by how to talk and what you do. Also if you use a custom color code, try to pick out a nice easy one to remember for xect's sake and post it at the end of any posts where you [attempt to do something]
[color=00FF00]

Venmoch · October 2003

<table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (Revenge @ Oct 14 2003, 05:01 PM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> Don't post a character profile,  </td></tr></table> 

I did but don't follow my example.

I did it because I have a complex character (or at least thats what I like to think)

deaincaelo · October 2003

*scouts and scans for skulks*
"hey, Mercura, if you ever go citidel remember i was on your side when i come to shut you down <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> "
*moves as far ahead as i can and still be reasonabley covered*
"c'mon, that wield took waaayyyyy too long. lets make up for it."
*run run with the squad, and hope we donna get chomped*

Jaeger · October 2003

*double-times along the edge of the corridor, waving his LMG from one wall to the other as he runs, illuminating the darkened corridors with his flashlight, taking care to mask the sound of his boots against the floor*
"Comm said to hurry, not clomp your feet on the deck. Watch the noise."
*toggles his helmet minimap display*
"Looks like we're getting close, what's up ahead comm?"

spinviper · October 2003

*runs toward wp*

Lord_Darkness · October 2003

*keeps thumb over PDA speaker, muffling Mercura's enraged response to boggle's remark about being harmless to us*
"Boggle, don't p!ss her off, I don't want to have to be the one to break up any arguements!"
*moves out with the rest of the squad, taking my thunb off the speaker every now and again to see if Mercura's calmed down*
"...AND IF I COULD GET AN ANDROID BODY TO CONTROL I'D RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND RAM IT SO FAR UP YOUR @SS IT'D LOOK LIKE IT NEVER WENT ANYWHERE!! IF I WASN'T STUCK IN THIS PDA I'D-"
*covers speaker*
