And if not, do I actually have to grapple someone to use a prisoner's mask on them? Because said mask stops Mesh access, right? Meaning that if I manage to put it on someone, they'll be able to call for help?

And I see. So there's a difference between actually being located and actually being seen. That's useful. How likely is muzzle flash to give me away? And does distance negatively modify my enemy's perception checks?

You really need to give me some sort of stealth role in the first mission, I want to test this out.

Maybe, but it'll be more overhearing a "UAAGHAANEAHGHAKE" than them calling for help.

Sneaking and "Automatic bursts from mach 6 weapons" does not compute. You could try this in vac... MAYBE. Hey, those 'useless' lasers don't make noise and have stun settings, don't they?

Yes, if you knock out their communications by throwing a high tech (space age!) paper bag over their head, they can't communicate. Just be sure they aren't Wolverine first. (I have it on good authority that grappling an angry fury is bad news)

Pretty likely unless you have a suppressor. Distance... Not so much. Anyone with specs or enhanced vision (IE: Anyone who has business carrying a gun) has 75x zoom anyway. Provided they don't see you though, it's -30 to -60 to blind fire a location, if they're not smart enough to just pepper it with seekers. When in doubt, level everything.

HM! Stealth... Well, I was going to let the diplomats and beaker heads have the spotlight for now, but we'll see what happens.

I like Spectre already. He's a direct guy, and I think I can be direct back without hurting the feelings he doesn't have.

Ellen and Tyrfing scored questionably on the psych evaluations, but Lind didn't?

[Krylo]

Lind is the sanest motherfucker in that room.

[krogothwolf]

He really does seem that way, aside from his odd little quirk. he's not exactly insane.

Tyrfing's lucidity is low, and Ellen's got a higher psi rating than Lind.

But really you're all pretty batshit, honestly. I've seen Malkavians that talked less than Lind does.

[krogothwolf]

Well if we're all pretty batshit to the start, that means it can only get worse as it moves along eh. This'll be fun

Does Johanna already know that Ellen and Lind are asyncs and she's just keeping it a secret?

Then again, I doubt she'd be drawing attention to Ellen if that was the case.

Yes. You've all been interrogated already.

Edit: You don't know that, though.

... Firewall is the most badass organization ever.

Included in post is Daniel's excuse for not being batshit crazy, he is good at resisting the terrible urges(or lack thereof) of manic depression. Not to beat a dead horse but ya...willpower.
