People with Specialists! You have a new repertoire of choices for weaponry! Let me know what you want to use.
Primary Weapons: As with any class, Carbine, Rifle, or Battle Rifle... though for Battle Rifles you get Scorpion Battle Rifles, which have a grappling hook to pull enemies towards you if you so desire. The other option is the Irradiator Blunderbuss, which is a uranium laser shotgun that at extreme close range can irradiate a human target to death through their armor.
Secondary Weapons: The standard Anti-Aircraft Missile Launcher, or the Flux Shield Generator, which causes a target to take half damage from anything but lasers for a short period of time.
Sidearms: A regular pistol, a sonic derringer (for stunning targets at close quarters), a defender pistol (updated to be a mag weapon), or a sniper pistol, which is basically a 'sawed off sniper rifle'. It has two shots, each dealing half damage of a sniper rifle round, and has squadsight built-in but with larger penalties for range.

Additionally, we now have access to Psi Amps, which allow V4 psions (aka, the majority of people) to use psionics where they otherwise couldn't. Currently they confer you a single psi skill. They fill the Sidearm Slot, so don't expect Gunslingers or Juggernauts in general to use them all that much... but otherwise, if you are interested in having a soldier use one throw me a PM.
Morrigan will take the flux shield and the sonic derringer.
New solo is up. Let me know what you think. Question. Comments. Concerns.

You had her down for a carbine as a primary, right?
I believe so, yes.

I got a 'Most likely to be Annoying' in High School, does that count?

The four musketeers have an overdue chat about recent events.

This whole Blukersky VS Nouja debate could be an interesting rift between the characters that could lead to some interesting debate.
I mean, is she really even Nouja anymore if everything that made her Nouja was removed?

I think my biggest worry wouldn't be so much can we save Nouja. Maybe we can, maybe we can't. We won't know unless we try. What I would be worried about is how we go about it... and how much of a risk we are willing to try. And you can bet that question will come up with my characters in the future, since I have the unique stance of having several characters connected to her on a personal level and characters who know little to nothing about her and thus won't be as understanding.

Yeah, and moreso when we actually get to the point where we have the means to challenge her and actually return her memories.

You also have to consider that the very prospect of returning Nouja's memories would essentially be killing Blukersky and replacing her with a different person, that's a hell of a moral grey area there.
Eh... considering the kind of person Blukersky is... I'm not so broken up about it.

True, but she still is a person.
We also have to think about if we should let Nouja see the things she did as Blukersky or not, I imagine it would ruin her to know all the horrible things she did for the enemy.

I mean, we kill a lot of people. Wiping out Blukersey isn't any worse, really. And I did think about the idea of her retaining memories *as* Blukersey.
There's the question of whether or not they should just remove her memories when she 'wasn't herself', and if that'd moral or not.

Another set of collabs up for people to read in the morning. Feel free to comment and discuss then.
Well that didn't turn out that well. Also...

The latter collab may have been out of order, but ah well. Here's the follow-up to the four musketeer's interaction is going up now, and later I'll post an interaction between Yakone and Red Hawk. Make sure to read it all when you get a chance, as it is important to your understanding of Yakone's character development if you hope to have meaningful interactions with her.
