Perhaps they shall all come to a strange yet oddly workable balance in which their eccentricities carefully balance out their personal problems and all together they may make one or two whole, vaguely coherent individuals...

Either that or London is doomed.

So we become a hivemind? Sweet!
Can we make our Psychics link everyone up in some kinda communal mental thingy? Oh, the possibilities!

I wouldn't recommend linking up Kevin's mind though.

If we were talking about common sense, I wouldn't recommend linking up any of our characters' minds. But a hivemind's a hivemind and hiveminds make everything better. Except Ender.

Also just think about the convenience if our characters can communicate with one another using their brains

Errr right, that too, I was thinking of that, not the sheer mindscrewery of it. Yeap, just thinking about how convenient it would be. Not the synchronised power of mindflaming people and then mindcontrolling them to go and hug other people and SPREAD THE LOVE. THE FIRE. THE LOVELY FIRE.

...I think I may want to stay OUT of your brain, it scares me.

You know what... Don't get caugth by the Freaks. They would do things to you... And you know what I'm talking about...

... I really can't tell if I'm supposed to keep away from the Freaks or the Freaks are supposed to keep away from me. The mind boggles.
And no, I'm not very sure I know what they would do to me... Unless.. *gasp* .. Nope, not sure.

Pretty sure the freaks are going to be more than enough of a challenge for all of us. Just ain't a horror story if we're on top of things from the beginning, after all

Correct. The simple fact is that the Freaks have survived this long against humanity by being complete monsters and harder to kill then a cockroach

Cockroaches are easy to kill.

In theory yes, but they have also adapted to most of the threats thrown at them over the years. There next step in evolution is probably to become as big as a car so it can finally take care of that boot problem.

Yep. The things can live for 9 days without a head. Talk about resistance!

Size or intelligence is always the evolutionary choice!

Intelligent cockroaches what have I done ew no.

Don't they say that roaches would by one of the few creatures to survive a nuclear apocalypse? Imagine if world war three broke out tomorrow and the Freaks were all that were left bar a scattered handful of humans in a world half empty...

Well, that's depressing.

I can make it worse. Just imagine it, a whole world reduced to the scattered remnants of humanity and the crushed shells of buildings, nowhere safe, and the Freaks are only enriched by the growing human terror they witness everyday. It's almost like back in the old days when humans hid in their caves and cowered behind fires. Our fear would delight them. Any attempt to rebuild society that was not scuppered by the fact our adults were dumb struck with horror and no chidlren possessed intelligence due to having nobody to learn from would be scuppered by the Freaks dragging us out of our hiding places in the dark... so they probably wouldn't be able t defend against Freaks at all.

They'd probably pick us all off, one by one while the psychics could only listen.

Good thing you speak portuguese, because so does chickens.

So, how are we splitting up teams? :3

No Idea... did someone compile the Class/Speciallity table?

Adell wrote:So, how are we splitting up teams? :3

Gimme a sec and I'll give you guys a list of characters and abilities. You decide from there.

In post order, we have:

Adell: Investigator, N/A, Street Smarts.

Dryunya: Soldier, N/A, Computers.

narrativedilettante: Investigator, N/A, Science.

agoraoptera: Soldier, N/A, Weapons.

Pixelmage: Investigator, N/A, Computers.

Zup: Templar, Miracle Healing, Occult.

Neverslender: Psychic, Mind Flame, Street Smarts.

Scarab: Psychic, Residue, Occult.

Ningyou: Templar, Miracle Healing, Street Smarts.

KFSebnti25: Investigator, N/A, Weapons.

Sicon112: Psychic, Minor Telekinesis, Science.

eli_gone_crazy: Investigator, N/A, Science.

This means we have:

2 Soldiers: Dryu, agora
5 Investigators: Adell, Dilly, Pixie, Seb, eli
2 Templars: Zup, ningyou
3 Psychics: Slendy, Scarab, and me

How about this:

narrativedilettante: Investigator, N/A, Science.
KFSebnti25: Investigator, N/A, Weapons.
Dryunya: Soldier, N/A, Computers.
Zup: Templar, Miracle Healing, Occult.
Sicon112: Psychic, Minor Telekinesis, Science.
Neverslender: Psychic, Mind Flame, Street Smarts.

Adell: Investigator, N/A, Street Smarts.
agoraoptera: Soldier, N/A, Weapons.
Pixelmage: Investigator, N/A, Computers.
Scarab: Psychic, Residue, Occult.
eli_gone_crazy: Investigator, N/A, Science.
Ningyou: Templar, Miracle Healing, Street Smarts.

But now team A has both psychics with combat ready powers. One team WILL have to have two, but it should probably be me and Scarab, since Mind Flame is more powerful than telekinesis, and Scarab only has residue. The investigators should be more on the team without Scarab, to function as substitute trackers.
