((I believe that ghosts ships are banks of human brains connected and coordinated by some kind of system while wetware AIs are computers built out of organic matter that has been repurposed. I guess we'll find out if mission a team manages to survive long enough. Alternatively, someone can ask Steve or the internet about this.

Anyway, there are two easy ways to find out if amps/manipulators work without humans: ask the Doc to build you an auto manipulator equivalent by combining a computer, an amp and a non-human brain or open a manipulator and see what's inside (mission b team probably has the best opportunity for this, especially our resident pirate).

((Or just ask about an autoamp discount if you bring your own brain.  Didn't the Doc want one for testing purposes?))

(( >.> that will only work in theory, not in practice. if they were going to accept that discount they'd have to acknowledge how automanips work, which will never happen. also, since all the doc needs to revive someone is a working brain, any brains you capture of noncombatants or friendlies will be taken and revived, and any you capture of hostiles will be taken, revived, and interrogated.

now then, if brains are worth something on their own, then your idea could sorta-work. they would simply give you more tokens directly, rather than a discount on automanips, which means they dont have to admit how they work, which makes it a possibility.

or you could just open up a manipulator and watch everyone else laugh as your brain explodes.))

Im a space pirate, I have a space ship, return and look for sweet loot.

[Xantalos]

...exit Tinker. Enter Punch Many Things.

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Point. Although it looks like VR is the most popular such thing.))

Look at Poacher.

[Spinal_Taper]

Uhh... Milno for the spotter. Then repeat action.

[TCM]

Exit VR. Go curl up with people on the couch watching TV.

((waiting on Feyri))

((Sorry Empiricist!!!!!

Sorry Lenglon!!!!D:))


Feyri was busy on her bed, lying down against the wall and tapping heartily to her thought's content as she detailed the previous missions including certain personal mentions regarding the rest. Sure, Steve would see this soon, but not that soon.

The loneliness was pretty much a tranquil p-

"I apologize in advance for my bluntness miss, but I'd like to ask you whether you are in love with a certain robotic member of the HMRC."

Jim? Just say no. There are other robots. Who's asking anyway? Where did that rumor come from and who is this person and just say no!
"Yea-" NO "-yes. A certain member." Enough with lies...

Feyri glanced at Charles' nametag from his suit as she reclined on the bed. "Hello Charles, I don't believe we've met before. Is there anything I could do for you - other than me asking where you've gotten that idea?"

Granted, a bit over to his left (well, my right), was a nice woman going by the name of Lyra. No, she couldn't have...but she was technically there and my locket is technically visible.

"Hey there," she said to Lyra, "Is he a friend of yours?"

Must try to get that communicator for her...though she does look nice without i- what am I saying. She's nice even if she doesn't want to communicate..

"And...there are still free beds here if any of you would want to bunk in. Nearly nobody else uses the beds here. I checked."

[Lenglon]

"Hey there," she said to Lyra, "Is he a friend of yours?"

Turn to look at Charles, then look back at Feyri. Close my eyes, slowly shake my head horizontally three times, but only slightly, then reopen them again.

"And...there are still free beds here if any of you would want to bunk in. Nearly nobody else uses the beds here. I checked."

Shrug once, then sit down on the bed behind me.
look at Charles again, starting at head height, then down to his feet, then back up to his head again, the entire looking process taking a period of one second. afterwards go back to looking at Feyri, and lean backwards some, bracing myself against the bed using my hands, such that my arms form an upside down V shape, with the palms of my hands flat against the top of the bed that i'm sitting on. tilt my head slightly sideways again, to my right this time, by roughly 15 degrees.

((I'm sorry, but for some reason Lyra's action descriptions make her seem like a robot. To quote Bender, "Y'know... left, down, rotate sixty-two degrees, engage rotor.". I know it's (probably) not the intent, and it's hard to meaningfully describe actions without such detail sometimes, but it just looks that way to me.. >_>))

[Lenglon]

((normal descriptions convey the thought process or intent of the person described, either directly or indirectly. i'm trying to avoid doing that, and the only real exceptions i'm allowing myself is when i'm using a bunch of if-then statements. but yeah, the result is kinda mechanical. i'm just not sure how to avoid that without compromising the way i'm trying to hide her thoughts... although choosing to write in first person didn't help much. there's good reasons most people write in third person.))

[leafbarrett]

((PW: I can't find your answer to how much armor the Scout Eye could be given without hampering its movement speed substantially.))

A thought occurs to Celeste. "Hmm... Could the Scout Eye perhaps be used for other things if properly equipped?"
Pull up the Scout Eye specs. In addition, pull up 3D models of the Scout Eye, the laser from a hand laser, a coagulant booster capsule, a cutting torch, and the medicine injection port from a suit. Attempt to find spots on the Scout Eye where the following items could be attached without obscuring its vision or hampering its movement (not all at once, of course; one spot for one item, to be used with one Scout Eye):
-The hand laser.
-A slot or container, similar to the slot that a medicine capsule is inserted into on a suit, in which a medicine capsule can be carried and dispensed from.
-A cutting torch.
((I may not be able to have pokemon, but dammit I'm going to have something working at my beck and call!))

Making yourself a drone eh? Well, I can tell you that it can't really be armored if you attach all this stuff to it; unless of course you increase the force of it's thrusters. But your plans of a cutting, med dispensing, weak laser firing drone work fine. Easily even.

((That's why I clarified that it would be one of the following per drone. So, let me re-phrase: Would adding armor and any one of the above listed be possible?))

[Caellath]

i'm just not sure how to avoid that without compromising the way i'm trying to hide her thoughts...

((Well, not sure. Going to partly adapt an excerpt of your writing to the standard thing just in case for comparison's sake.))

Turn to look at Charles, then look back at Feyri. Close my eyes, slowly shake my head horizontally three times, but only slightly, then reopen them again.

Lyra turns to look at Charles, then looks back at Feyri. She closes her eyes and slowly shakes her head horizontally three times, but only slightly, before reopening them again.

((I don't think the second one gives away her thoughts or feelings, though that may be the fact I'm used to that style.))
