[QUOTE="TillForPie, post: 6866336, member: 6762758"] Informative windows cloud the edges of Lum's vision. This one shows an ammo count. That one is displaying rangefinder data. He only has to think about one of them for it to enlarge and fill his field of view - in the next moment he's seeing from the point of view of his Predator's smartgun camera as he inches the barrel through the window into car four. There are thirteen people huddled in the corners here. Two orks, a dwarf, and the rest are human, with an even gender split. Most of them are business casual - only the dwarf is in an actual suit. Three of the humans are Chinese and they're whining at each other in Mandarin. Lum readies the barrel down the length of the train. [sblock=OOC]Lum's RCC is able to broadcast to his comm, which is in turn broadcasting to his contacts' image link, so somewhere in his vision is a display with information on the drone. Its maneuvering autosoft is functioning just fine - it didn't have a simple action left to take cover and it's not going to leave Lum's side to advance down the length of the train without being ordered. Lum can simply speak commands aloud (no action required) to deliver orders and the drone will obey as intelligently as it can. It's patched to Lum's comm (which is receiving audio from his subvocal mic) so it can hear him from a distance - no shouting required. Go ahead and make a post (even out of initiative order) with an order if you'd like to have added one to your Take Cover and Take Aim actions. The drone won't be able to follow it until its next pass. I'm assuming from your description that Lum is aiming around the corner without exposing himself as described on pg 433 (enemies firing at Lum will take a -4 blind fire penalty, but Lum also takes a -3 penalty to attacks of his own). I'm also assuming "back of the car" means closer to the tail of the train. Apologies if this is not what you intended! Lum is currently at a +1 Take Aim bonus against anyone from cars four, five, or six. Taking any action (other than more Take Aim actions, which will accumulate bonuses) prior to shooting will negate this.[/sblock] [HR][/HR] The door between cars six and five opens, revealing pig mask's motionless corpse.
