Gasp, meta-gaming! I thought better of you, Wilson. You can't break the secret code yet!

[Slamurai]

I suppose it'd be useful to have a new section on the first page for in-universe lore.
At this time, I wanted to introduce a drug called 'Augmepazine,' which is prescribed to people with implants or mechanical prosthesis. It's used to treat symptoms of rejection; in many individuals, the human body will reject certain augmentations, which is potentially life-threatening, if those augments are connected to vital organs. Augmepazine helps the body to function with, rather than against foreign artificial materials in the body. However, in a few rare cases, individuals have become addicted or overdose on the drug. Anyone with enhancements is expected to pay for prescriptions (doesn't count towards our gameplay mechanic), and so the poor sometimes are unable to fight their body's rejection, or avoid getting augments at all.
If you've read Amelia's overview of Cradle's HFI in the IC, Augmepazine is a necessary component in the HFI procedure; to ensure pilots can interface correctly with their machines.

Hooray, foreshadowing!

@Foster

Sounds about right!

I've added a new hider right above the rules called "Miscellaneous Setting Lore & In-Universe Objects." This'll be updated from time to time. So far, I have writeups of PADDs and Augmepazine within it.

Also, as Marlene's mech is specialized in sniping, nobody has really seen her mech before, and she hasn't seen the mechs of her allies...

@Foster

Look for the Panther insignia on the shoulders? Here's hoping everyone painted one up during the trip. Although, it's not like you could see them clearly at night through thermals
Marlene fought in the PU; I'm sure she's seen Barghests before! Not like these, though.

@WilsonTurner

You copy/pasted it but didn't save the original? Sorry; I learned that lesson before, and more than once!

Wade Wilson: Victim of Kharma:


Note: Marlene's mech doesn't have the PP-insignia on it yet.

Also, since IFF is going to be... interesting for her... she just spoiled their shot rather than tried slamming a round into his torso.

[boomlover]

@Foster karma at it's truest form.

[Slamurai]

@FosterIf Marlene's FRAME was being serviced on the Samigina, wouldn't that have given the crew ample time to set up the frequencies and IFF? If it was with the others, it'd be pretty hard to mistake friend from enemy, unless, she was really scatterbrained, or on drugs, maybe.

@Aristo

It was still in the process of being unboxed.

@Foster

Oho. Nothing like that new-cockpit smell! I hope she doesn't put a dent in it.

Surely she'd have seen the other FRAMEs in line while getting on-board, though. They were right in front of the ramp.

[Foster]

As noted in the IC, she was a tad busy uncrating the mech by herself.

Sarah's was easy enough to spot, though.

And Snake Eater is running active-camo.

[DarkStar]

I am assuming that Sarah is the target of a friendly sniper?

Hrmm. I wonder what a nice 40mm will do to her chest. :D

And willco @Aristo

@DarkStar

Definitely not a friendly!

[boomlover]

@Aristo hmm after thinking it over for a sec i think i'm gonna let this one go. Which is mostly because if the huge amount of rp's i'm already in. My aplogies

[Slamurai]

@boomlover
Aw, no worries. Good luck out there!
