The best way to jog someone’s memory is to hit them with a mallet….unless they go unconsious, but that works to.

@Shrikefox: How do those kinetic dampeners work?

This mission sounds like it’s going to be very sticky. I imagine the Player’s Mob will be more than just fodder, but equipping them will make backstabbing even more likely. Do the contestants stand to gain anything on top of survival if they actually succeed in capturing the target?

@ nikolai60: Reading between the lines of Jason’s profile and from his profile, he isn’t so much useless as a hotshot jet jockey with an ego on par with his skills.

As for the armor the first thing I thought of was something along the lines of the kinetic dampeners from the fighters and tanks of Travis S. Taylor’s “One Day On Mars” and “The Tau Ceti Agenda” books that believably allow for the beyond extreme G maneuvers so popular in sci-fi anime. That or the kinetic “absorption” (for lack of a better description) gear found in the powered armor from John Ringo’s Posleen War book series (A Hymn to Battle, Gustfront, When the Devil Dances, and Hell’s Faire).

cannon fodder? as bad as that is for them, it makes sense all things considered. it would seem that ‘those in charge’ feel everyone involved is expendable, so why not stack up some cannon fodder to aid in the matter?

also, i don’t know if what White has on is Kinetic Halo armor or not, but whatever he’s wearing is still pretty cool

Maybe this is what Veled was talking about with White. The target couldn’t be Irwin, could it?

I’m really excited to see where they end up going, and how the camera crew will tag along.

@hariman: I hope it’s not exactly the same! It’d be a shame to lose the whole cast if someone’s armor went nuclear. 😉

*checks cast* Huh–actually, they’re in the cast list..that suit must be the uniform for the ‘player’s mob’.

Given there’s one character here and 3 in the previous strip in that white suit with the red gear and Last Resort Logon on the chest, I’m presuming they’re all additional staff that are coming along with the Executioners and their henchies to be help (aka Cannon Fodder)?
