Why can't I do that?

EDIT: BAWLZ! NEW PAGE!

Ugh...I'm posting this from my PS3 without a keyboard so it sucks. Anyway, I can't boldface it on here so I'll post my action in caps.

CHECK MY GEAR TO SEE IF IT IS ALL IN GOOD CONDITION.
Minor Action: Suggest to Rachel the possibility of furthering my cybernetic enhancements.
Time to watch Family Guy!
EDIT: Back on the PC, time to fix this.

All your gear is fine, I already said that.



ETA: 5 turns. And no I'm not kidding. Why can't I have some harmfullless fun all the time once in a while?

Uh...other than BJJ and his impervious armor...well, even him...seeing as this probably merits a super-attack...how the hell do we protect ourselves from this?

It won't be as devastating as what happens in CC, and it depends on where you are and where it lands. In other words, get inside and hope that this isn't build 13.

I've decided that that helicopter you all heard from the north has magically turned into this rocket.
Which is falling.
From the stratosphere.
With a load of crabs in it.
I love this job

We can't take action, yet, though; we don't know about it until your roll, THEN we know about it. Right?

Hmmm... Change in action is in order, then! I'll rely on luck to get past this one...

Notice large glowing speck...Growing bigger, suggesting speed. Suggest to group a course of action, preferably involving a large amount of speed towards the friendly complex. If not, Acquire Bubble Wrap to remove "Shock" state
"Uh...Guys...We may have a problem..."

I'm assuming the crabs are to scale? They're probably not two-foot-high monstrosities we see in CC, so we could die of collision, or of smothering, or fuel detonation.

Alternatively,
Spam Zealots, Upgrade Damage, ROF, and Speed.

Ociamarru, I say that you know about it NOW. K?



Two things:
1. You can't say you notice something unless I say so. I tell you what you see and you act on it.
1a. Everybody sees something akin to a falling meteor to the north.

and
2. How will the bubble-wrap remove your shock?
WIKIPEDIA SAYS shock is a mental/nervous system reaction to something that scares or harms you.

I'll start doing the roll soon.

Sadly Ive got no clue who that is...

I miss Serious.

Also, Whos left to post there actions?

Hmmm, then I still do the minor action, and my full action is to
rest to regain all uses of my cybernetic enhancements.

Fine
Get in the back of the hummer, secure all loose gear, including things that aren't mine.

Duh102 (5) Rachel Heuber
Rachel leaves Fiona alone with her package and goes to check on Tyrone, who is in shock. She gives him and injection of 20mg of Propranolol Beta-blockers and helps him up.
"That's the best I can do, but are you hurt?"
"I... uh... n-no... i don't..."
No, no. That's fine. Just take it easy. Go have a seat in the Hummer."
Tyrone wobbles off and sits in the Hummer with Andrew, striking up a conversation on the way.

caekdaemon (3) Bob Jameson Jones
Unless he can find some extra mechanics or electronics, BJJ can't think of anyway to make his armour more impenetrable. But he does discover that his Night-Vision Goggles can be seperated and deactivated, so he removes the left side and lense, stores it in his toolkit and makes a few modifications to the right side so that it can be made translucent for normal use. He dubs it the Night-Vision Monacle and puts it on. Fancy! He then packs up his gear back into the HUGE backpack and sits next to Andrew on the back seat.

"I... uh... n-no... i don't..." He stammers.
No, no. That's fine. Just take it easy. Go have a seat in the Hummer." She replies.

Game Events:
From the north, the sound of the Helicopter is heard again, except this time it doesn't sound like a helicopter, more like a fighter jet or a rocket. Everybody correctly estimates that it will arrive or pass over them in an hour and fifteen minutes (5 turns).
The time is 3:45pm.

Map: You are at the little base in the middle, after the horseshoe bend.


NOTE: I have drawn a Hummer for the location of the characters.
