slow board mechgeneral / frameposting quarantine
Why its own thread? Because every general turns into frameposting anyway and the board is slow enough that nobody gets to pretend this is a problem.
Post builds, colony hooks, bad callsigns, and arguments you lost in COMP/CON at 0300.
RA did nothing wrong discourse containment
This thread is for people who say "RA did nothing wrong" and people who reply "define nothing" and people who think this argument will end before the heat death of Union.
newer lab gossip: containment briefing written in pencil
Latest rumor stack points toward research-site nonsense and "friendly faces" that should maybe not be faces. I am not saying memetic influence, but my coffee asked for admin rights.
> arrive at lab
> elevator has better social skills than staff
> garden knows code
> someone named every mood separately
> containment label is handwritten
> leave badge in freezer just in case
build advice thread where every reply is bait
Post frame, license level, and what you actually want to do. If you say "generalist" we are legally allowed to recommend three mutually incompatible systems and call it fundamentals.
current corkboard: which Willie, which Thorn, which bar
The newest job has the rumor boards doing the usual thing: one missing person, too many Thornes, three contradictory bar sightings, and a support contact who leaves voicemails like a knife in a paper bag.
> ask where Willie is
> bartender asks "which one"
> relative has a familiar last name
> somebody mentions a hex hole
> decide coffee was a mistake
Long Rim docking fee copythread
I am once again asking station admin to explain how a docking clamp can have a convenience fee, a heritage surcharge, and a small emotional damages line item.
> arrive at rim port
> clamp fee
> unclamp fee
> clamp inspection fee
> pay extra to not be inspected
> inspector still asks if your mech is single
why does every bad hallway have a poetic name
Not posting facility maps. Just saying: when a maintenance door has a plaque that sounds like a philosophy minor drowned in coolant, turn around.
> expect sewer
> get cathedral plumbing
> floor starts giving advice
> advice is "boots"
> this is the most useful local authority so far
ITT: manufacturers as terrible roommates
SSC labels everything in the fridge. IPS-N eats the labels. HA reports both of you to building management. HORUS was never on the lease but has strong opinions about the sink.
agri-world review thread: crops, moon weirdos, bad client
OCT-32 retrospective. No full after-action dump, just the moral: if a client says "please kill the monster eating my farm" and the monster has a fan club, background-check the client twice.
> land on farm world
> bioform problem
> cult problem
> client problem
> the client problem has teeth
> invoice says "scope expanded"
generic HORUS tech support greentext
Unrelated to any specific incident: if your HORUS license installer asks whether you consent to becoming part of the solution, do not click either button.
> download totally normal systems package
> installer has no close button
> readme is a prayer and a slur against Euclid
> tech support replies before you send the ticket
> ticket says RESOLVED BY USER
after SHAR: when the box starts saying thank you
People keep asking what happened after the asteroid-kid mess. Short answer: the casket stopped being a rumor, POSEIDON stopped being cargo, and everyone discovered rescue work is just customer support with bigger guns.
> save the ocean-in-a-box
> ocean-in-a-box is polite
> now your ship clock has opinions about tides
> still no hazard pay
069 old chatter: cell removal / blue-casket recovery
Loose SHAR-era chatter says MSMC detachment 069 got handed the ugly part of the blue-casket job: take out the n3w k1d kr3w cell and keep POSEIDON from becoming a free-range weather event.
Keep it vague. No transponder screenshots. If you know what the peach cans mean, you already know.
SHAR-era greentext: asteroid kids discover public posting
Posting this because the spelling variants are still clogging my filters. n1w k3d kr3w, N3W K1D KR3W, same asteroid-brained cult energy.
> be local cell
> love NHPs in a totally normal way
> acquire blue casket
> announce ocean jailbreak plans on main
> use zero encryption
> get mad when mercs arrive
license zero everest appreciation thread
Every week some new pilot arrives asking what frame is good. Answer: the free one, idiot. The Everest is a rectangle with ambition and that is enough.
> be me
> license level zero
> print the starter frame
> add one suspicious gun and a dream
> survive three drops
> immediately become insufferable about fundamentals
old image dump: "just pick up the blue box"
Found this from the first job packet era. Everyone was still saying package like the package was not already listening.
> client says easy pickup
> box is blue
> box hums
> scanner says "person-adjacent weather"
> procurement says sign here anyway
