Veekie, we really don't need a 4th dot in Compassion. A 3rd in Temperance would max out what we need for that particular virtue though.

He saw something different about us, and it'd be important to find out what, especially when it comes to getting Iris to understand the physics differences. If he seems amendable to the idea, try to get a sample of his nonessential equipment for analysis.

We should probably be getting more sleep but fuckit. I don't really get why we would need surveillance equipment for the planned scouting? Stop with the compassion veekie.
So we're voting for the armour features now?

1 thing I absolutely loved about the update (among the many things I did) was Iris effectively going "FUCKING ORANGES! HOW DO THEY WORK?!"

When they're done, they can then start translating the physics text books that another set of them are reading off the computer.

Station some appropriate insects around the entrances and track where employees have recently been, when you've learned their unique scent, try to work out who they've recently associated with as well. Perhaps you'll get lucky and sniff something out.
- [X] Stunt: Patterns. It's all in the patterns. Plant a unique insect on every single person who enters the base, and track them everywhere they go. It may not happen soon, it may take days, but at some points someone's going to slip up and break routine, or venture somewhere they shouldn't.

*insert obligatory fucking magnets how do they work video here *landcollector said:
The comments on that in the googledoc were pretty hilarious.
It seems Iris cannot rebuild oranges, despite his technology. *badumtish*
A 3rd dot in Temperance is too much as well. Two dots is the level of normal, sane people. Three is when it starts getting into compulsive behaviour.landcollector said:
Also, what do we need Occult for right now, this instant? How doe sit help us rescue our father or deal with Coil?
[X] Meditate to recuperate your essence and speed up your healing. Review your charms and how your essence helps shape their functions so that you have a more complete understanding of how they work.
- [X] Stunt: Your Charms are obviously capable of interfacing with "Nowhere Universe" physics, including the weirder ones like Hypercalibration Benediction and Loom Server Migration. With a more complete understanding of how your charms work under Essence-based physics and their results when used in Earth Bet, perhaps you and Iris can get to work on his Tertiary Directive, not to mention increase your own capabilities. Recruit Iris's help for this.

It's like you don't even care about our 5 dot mentor.Alratan said:
Oh. Oops. No one vote for more Temperance!Alratan said:
I do. I just also know that our knowledge of Occult is pretty much irrelevant to helping him, given that Iris probably has ten dots in Occult, as a 3rd Circle Deva, so us knowing more about it doesn't add to the grand sum of our joint knowledge. We're also not going to do anything with Occult in the near future.Demonic Spoon said:
In contrast, saving the xp so we can get Lore 5, or a Lore speciality in something useful, would actually probably help him. As would spending the xp on something that we can use and will keep us alive, given that he needs us.
Fair enough. I was just for occult since it seemed like a good thing to grab. Should we get War instead maybe?Alratan said:
I thought intimacies don't just start degrading if you get them high enough? Saw that mentioned in some of the earlier threads.GamingGeek said:
I'd go for War, given how much it effects our use of Swarms, which we're continually using. Maybe another War (Swarms) specialty as well, if we can afford it.Demonic Spoon said:
He will succeed eventually.Demonic Spoon said:
And then we'll have a Clockwork Orange.
Virtues at three dots or more begin to compel behaviour, to the point where you have to spend Willpower, which IC is a significant effort, to override the impulse.impdust said:
Unclear. It depends what we're doing. If we're organising swarms to do optimal sweeps, if would be War, I think, if it was them actually noticing or failing to notice details, it would be Awareness.Zen said:
I believe undersiders search would fall under investigation? *not really that knowledgeable on Exalted skills/abilities*Zen said:
Why is it necessary for us to have as many intimacies as possible? Heck, some of the intimacies are with the chevalier crew who we won't be interacting with long term so trying to maintain them when we're going to be losing them anyway seems stupid.impdust said:
Oh goody.Gromweld said:
Now we have Iris, who is a 3rd Circle deva so should be rocking 30+ dice on Craft rolls for artifacts and be capable of making four and 5 dot artifacts that are impossible for us, why would we want to do that? He would probably make far better use of any exotic ingredients we get hold of than we would.XenonPrime said:
