No problem. I'm trying to be more explicit about information. Sometimes it doesn't fit into the flow of normal RP posts. Anyways as I mentioned in the IC thread Atlatl needs to bow out, so Hyun-Ae will stay behind with the mercs and will be run as an NPC for a little.

Hey Emerald Rogue and Tempus Rimeblood! As I mentioned above, I'm doing a recruit for another NTech game, and I was thinking of taking the app sentrygun made there for this game, to bring us back to 6. What do you guys think?

hey hi guess i'm over here now, have a character sheet Berry Pop  POP IT LIKE A WHEELIE SHOULD I’M UP ON YOUR MIND FEELING PRETTY GOOD DON’T STOP IT! BITCH YOU IN MY WAY THANK YOU SO MUCH OH WOW OK Yeah, something like that! That's not just a catchy tune though, not after I get a hold of it. It's also a set of core command line instructions that should inhibit external inputs and start flooding it with garbage commands. It's also pretty catchy though, duh. It's all based on a little technique I came up with back when I still worked at whatever little security companies would be interested in some plain ol' security consultant like me. Instead of typing in a bunch of super boring commands, I realized I could mix music around and with some tiny little changes I got beats reading as prompt lookups which fed commands to the core input. It's a little more complex than that, but the important thing is that I could hack a computer just by blaring a speaker at it. Then I played around with some tech with a little help from some of my friends working in robotics, and I got myself a neural transmitter that let me think changes into music to remix it on the fly and use it to send commands however I wanted. It's also a pretty great set of 'phones! Docs said pulsing music straight through my brain like that was liable to make me start hallucinating, but that's totally a load of nonsense, yeah? Totally not hallucinating. Of course, people just thought I was some crazy weirdo shooting pop straight into my brain, but they started singing a different tune after some two-bit hacker in a van decided to call the company I was working at and negotiate a ransom on some documents he stole. I got a hold of the phone, shot some tweaked jams through it, and voila! The idiot had a nice little locked up room with a dance party set up by yours truly, with everything from his phone to the van itself rendered inoperable and flooding him with some pretty hype pop blaring out every speaker and my little animated business card flashing on every screen. After that hit the news, I had a whole desk fulla offers from about every big name company wanting a little bit of my magic. Had to just pick one, though, so I picked my favorite. Those cuties over at Exocute wanted my tech to make some kinda scrambler gun. Basically, it'd shoot out something mega basic that should work against most bots and junk like that to send them on the fritz and lock 'em up. And, by request, it'd do so with some ridiculous sounding J-Pop. It's quick and bouncy enough to fit a ton of garbage commands into, and Exocute loved the design, so I guess I can excuse their terrible taste in music! They paid me for the rights to it, and I started working for their security to make sure all their secret docs and that kinda junk were locked up tight. Seemed like a pretty great deal at first, but I'm not joking around when I say I'm seriously a pro at this stuff, and Exocute isn't exactly the biggest target around anyways. Only took about a year before I realized I'd jacked so many scouting botnets and locked things down so tight that nobody could figure out my encryption (buncha uncultured nerds who don't know anything about music, clearly), and that I wasn't actually doing anything except sitting around and stonewalling Exocute's tech side just by existing. I even ran a little test and brought down security for a whole week while monitoring it to make sure nothing actually got through, and... Not a single attempt was made. In fact, any attempts on stealing tech from us were all physical. Nobody could get at the design docs, so everyone who still cared tried to get their hands on the actual prototypes and stuff, all well out of my department. Things were super boring, and just because I could have coasted on that doesn't mean I wanted to. Luckily, when word happened to get out that Berry was falling asleep at her desk, along comes an offer from some jerk betting I couldn't do the same with the biggest corp around. Which, I mean, probably true. Manually monitoring that much junk would be a pretty hot way to make myself crazy for real. But a challenge seems way better than snoozing around all day, so I quit out with the Exocuties, stripped my security system out since they couldn't even figure out how to start dealing with it by themselves, and signed up with Toku. Worst case, it's super duper boring over there too and I can just ditch them in a year with enough to retire for life, but I bet they've got a thing or two to keep me busy, yeah? They better! ...Except I got a way better offer from some weird magicians, so I took that instead! Money talks, y'know?

Hi sentrygun! I've got an idea to get you involved in the next few days. I'll catch up with you on IRC and get sorted soon.

Yes my bad, I'm dumb. Because PBP is so slow, I've decided to give significant milestones more often so you actually advance from time to time. In this case, I'm going to give you a Significant and a Minor Milestone together. You get all of the following: • You can do one of the following: ⁌ You may swap the ratings of any two skills within a single mode. ⁌ You may replace a stunt with another stunt, or a mega-stunt with another mega-stunt. ⁌ You may rewrite one aspect that isn’t your concept aspect. • You gain an experience—a boost related to the events of the volume. This can reference a notable act, a lesson learned, a loss suffered, or anything else that happened during the volume that’s worth writing down. When you gain an experience, it sticks around until you use it, even if that means it’s on your sheet through multiple issues or volumes. In every other respect, an experience is just like a boost. After invoking an experience, draw a line through it, but leave it on your character sheet. When you have three crossed-out experiences at the end of an issue, erase them all. You can never have more than three recorded experiences. • You earn one point. Points can be accumulated over time—you don’t have to spend them all at once, and can save leftover skill points to spend later—and are spent to improve skills. You can also spend them to add new skills to a weird mode. pre:Improvement Point Cost Focus a trained skill 1 Specialize a focused skill 2 Specialize a trained skill 3 Add a new skill to a mode Cost of the skill First infodump post to answer questions will come tomorrow.

EDITED: Cain will switch "Die Another Day" for the following stunt, pending approval: "The Report Is In My File: Cain may use Combat, in lieu of other skills, to reveal Aspects of an enemy he could reasonably have fought before."

I might scrap Rhythmic Encryption as it is now because it was a boring copout I copied out of the book, otherwise I'll see about what I'd want to spend the point on and also I'll actually be around during the day tomorrow, so I'll bug you when I see you around Gorbash.
