Badass Dragon Scavengers of the Void - Round 4 - Ugly Duckling

Cheers to you, Watney! Another job well done. To think, I was just going to add that foil to the ball in my quarters.

I was just surprised that Rump could grab a hold of the box properly, what with those teeny tiny little fingers.

GLO calculations are one of the things that I have to fold in manually after the turn is run and I forgot to do this for the Mission 5 folks. This has been fixed - thank you for catching that!

Pure rhetorical flourish on my part - they’re one and the same: the damage roll is avoided by blasting an eel before it attacks. Any source of damage that fails to connect for whatever reason (via dodge, disarm, disable) is reported as ‘AVOID’ in the automated turn output.

Missions should be up here in a moment - thanks for your patience.

Way to back me up rummaging the crew cabins fellow Scavengers! Hmmph. I can do this act alone. I often do…

Well, at least the eels didn’t get me but the damn sentinal droid sure did

So after hauling back the bag of loot there were a few things left over that the bastards in accounting wouldn’t give me any Juice for…So Santa Moose is coming to town…

Dottie… I found this in case the eel ran off with yours…

Watney… I found this and thought of you…

Seelo … a little light reading

BananaMan…this looked like something you’d like…

And Spike that cabin had this for you as well…

And Dr, Omicron…this was in your size I thought…

Tex? Quirky? I guess you can fight over this poster

Hans? Is this speciest? I can never tell what is and isn’t with you Crustaceans

And of course my herd brothers. Let us toast our relative fortune

Sorry …that’s all that the beancounters wouldn’t give me any juice for.

Not Speciest in the least, my dear Heironymoose Warnsforth.

How thoughtful of you to think of your fellow scavengers. As I have said thousands of times, “The More You Share, The More You Have”

I find your gift to be particular enlightened.

Animated Plain-Language DVD: Invasion of the Space Lobsters

An advanced race of giant lobsters from outer space land on Earth… An utter failure of communication with these crustaceans catapults the world towards catastrophe. What can save us? A little straight talk, perhaps?

Director and writer Janet Perlman and the award-winning NFB Animation Studio… pit the virtues of clear language and good communication against bafflegab and gobbledygook.
To order the DVD, go to: Canadian Film Board: http://wwwwww.nfb.ca/store

A timely gift, indeed.

Thank You.

–Hans “Advanced Race” Landau.

[Hmph. I see how it’s going to be with those meeses. Get my tail chewed off blasting a path so he can clear out the goodies, and not even a thank you. Sure, he’s real concerned about being speciest when it’s the boss…]

Mission 4 Preliminary Analsys

“Stuff” just doubled in price, but repairs are still cheap.

BUY ALL THE REPAIR YOU CAN

Even if you find yourself a few U short, we have some very flush Scavengers:

Omicron Nu Pi, PhD @monkeyoh (310 U)
Mark Watney @SteampunkBanana (310 U),
Theodore Rump @newliminted (303U),
Ester @penguinchris (195U)
Quirky Kumquat @DreamboatSkanky (194 U)
Brian @uphill (171 U).

please Please PLEASE weave complexity amongst yourselves to get repair to our most battered fellow scavengers while repair is still cheap

The missions are much like last time. We need five or six scavengers to man the guns to hold off the space eels. They will get get paid 60 U but run a small risk of much damage.

The most qualified for mission 1 are

Ester @penguinchris (SEN 23, SCI 23)
Theodore Rump @newliminted ( SEN 23 SCI 23 )

Tex Ass @Donald_Petersen (SEN 26)
Galacto Hardenhoof @rkt88edmo (SEN 25)
Dottie @Old ( SEN 25)

Missions 2, 3, and 4 are up to personal taste. I crudely estimate the value at 120 U, 80 U, and 80U respectively, but my estimates haven’t been very good thus far, so I don’t put much stock in them.

Be safe out there – and complex.

Damn it all. There was supposed to be cake in the mess hall for lunch and there was only pie. I have been lied too once again.

Fine, I’ll just go back to my Cave and order up some suit upgrades while I wait for for the aperture to close on these next missions.

Hmmm…
