I wonder if my character's going to survive this. It seems incredibly stupid to bend over the pool of water and stick your hand in it but it's exactly what he'd do.

Theoretical Cryptography (Complimentary [Math SPU]): 2 3 5 4 2 3 5 1 [ 4 3 10 2 4 5 3 5 2 ] Also note that he's copying all of the symbols into his memory just as before. I doubt if it takes up 13,000 Mp but if it does, he'll start compressing it in 1,000 Mp chunks. |

just for the record, I second the "incredibly stupid" thing...
;) @ leowulf... would you quit it with the assumptions, man? it's kinda irritating. for your information, Ran hasn't let her guard, or her sword, down at all. |

Well cripes, my money was on Cosmo biting the big one first. But with Torque going around shoving his hand blindly into pools in the middle of alien temples, well... just cripes. :D
It also just dawned on me that we have two characters named Chase and Ran. There's a joke waiting to come out there, I just know it. |

If it makes you feel any better, he had to blow ~2 points of Essence and at least 335,000 nuyen over what someone who scored Wired Reflexes 2 had to pay for a net gain of a whopping +5.5 to initiative. So basically for all that, he might get an extra action every now and again over someone with level 2. That also means that you got to use those ~2 points of Essence and at least 335,000 nuyen for what is doubtlessly a bunch of cooler and more useful stuff, too. :) |

Roll for a History Test to see if Torque knows anything about similar temple interiors.

I was hoping that it wouldn't come to this but again, it's probably better that it has. Since I am -clearly- unable to maintain a regular availability, I'm going to pull out of this run. I won't hold you up any more. Good luck, everyone.

Hey Tzi, what was that about Chase getting his wires back? I don't get it. :(

I think he was being sarcastic about you turning your gun on a teammate for no apparent reason.
seems to me chase is "borrowing" a little OOC stargate info... what reason would he have to believe torque's not himself, regardless of the safety of the water? (ps.. clock--dammit, I'm not going to call you RODENT--it's pronounced "ron"... ;) |

I dunno. If the Mad Hatter wasn't snoozing, he'd probably be barking similar concerns at Cosmo, too. First, Torque being a "professional" medic (who apparently has no concern about strange, alien fluids), shoves his hand blindly into a pool of what he had no idea was actually going to be water. In a heavily warded temple. Protected with advanced technology, including a perpetual air conditioner. With no life whatsoever anywhere outside. With a seal warning of a great and powerful alien lifeforce the slaves referred to as a "devil dragon-king."
Second, he "slips and falls," then quickly recovers, but not until he had a sudden epiphany about a secret underground lair with a cache full of "coordinates," even though Cosmo just finished saying he found 'em. Then, without consulting anyone, he starts marching off to find it... all the while acting unusually and angrily barking at or acting uncharacteristically sarcastic towards anyone who does anything to slow his assault on this cache that, only after shoving his hand into a pool full of alien bacteria, he "suddenly" remembered. It's even more odd since no one said anything about possession, yet he got all defensive about it. :) I'd say there's plenty of reason to be suspicious. Dunno if it's gun-drawing suspicious, but it is pretty suspicious all around. :) And woman, you will call me Rodent. <hefts up his shotgun and does the cool sound-effect ch-chink thing with it> |

I did no such OOC thing! :) Maybe the gun thing is over reacting but Chase is a merc so he's used to pointing that gun at anything that could be a threat. The whole, "Be proffesional, dress proffesionaly, and be prepared to kill anyone you meet..." Besides, this is actually what I was thinking of OOC.
So, I guess I should have shot him where he stood. Not that I have to defend my actions to anyone but Chase has seen horror sims before. He knows that crack troppers don't "trip over a dust mote". And if you still think I used too much OOC, have Ran go dunk her head in the water, Torque said it was safe... ;) |

Actually the fluff rules of the chemical analyzer state that only a minute amount is required and even testing poisons won't harm the user, only things like super-corrosive acid can affect you through a fingertip pad. "Shoves his hand in" is an extreme exaggeration over testing the surface with a fingertip.
As for possession, exactly what else would you think it is in a world like shadowrun that has possession? Torque also mentioned spirits despite nobody else doing so. |
