Lovely ninja style attack, Sara (or what I presume to be her), hiding in the rafters then dropping down to attack the group of (conspirators? Honestly I forget the explanation from the whole fpl thing, that this seems to be going by...).

Anyway, DEATH FROM ABOVE!

I might come up with something more insightful when I'm not fatigued...oooh...sleeep....

I wonder if that guy outside was timing her.I guess this is either a training run or one of her first missions.

I get the feeling that he was either a trainer, timing how long it takes for her to get back, or a companion, probably wondering what's taking her so long to do a simple mission, or some such. There may or may not be pie involved, as rumours have not been confirmed yet.

I think the guy in the foreground of the first frame is John.

You can only see his back but it kinda looks like him, if only because of the hair.

Actor.

EDIT: If you look some of the guys wear similiar outfits to what John is wearing in the Art Pages so I could be wrong.

I just read the fpl page for Sarah last night, so it was wierd... This does indeed pick up just before it leaves off. Mwahaha, this will be so cool. *grinz* I'll not give anything away, don't worry.

Oh, goody, so those of us who read the FPL sheet aren't going to know TOO much . . .

Except be really ticked we have to wait two days to see the summation of this.

And did anyone see the ad for Keenprime? THAT'S got me intrigued.

Almost like Dragonball, eh? Hooyah!

Has anyone asked why the mage's name is Meiji, and the ninja has an English name, Sara?

Seems to be the same scene as the FPL sheet, yes.

Heh, had to look over that page several times before I figured out what I was seeing...the boundary lines between the panels are hard to spot, since so much of the panels themselves are black.

Does anyone else think "Jedi" on seeing the type of clothes that Jon and his 'friends' wear?

[edit] Oh, I don't think Jon is in this scene, no one seems to have hair long enough (unless its the guy to the right that we only see the shoulder of in the first panel and a distant back shot in the second, but he seems to have shorter hair as well)

Death from above damage = attacking mech weight / 10 x 3, rounding up.

Christ, how I remembered that after 4 years of not playing Battletech is beyond me.

I don't recall Jon being in that scene, from reading the background.

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't played BT in more than five years, and I hadn't played for much more than a few months back then either. And yet, I remember the following:

I once designed a mech for the express purpose of Death From Above. It was a

100 ton quad mech (piloting bonus, cause the extra legs give stability at the expense of places to put weapons) with jump jets, maxed leg armor (cause the DFA damage hits your legs too), biggest engine mountable (as your land speed for some inexplicable reason limits your speed when you're flying using the rockets in your feet), and two LB-X 20 Autocannons with scatter-rounds.

The rationale being that an enemy mech's head can't possibly sustain more than 12 damage. The DFA damage (30, as per the formula) gets divided into six five-point chunks, each of which has a 1/6 chance of hitting the enemy's head. If you can do 2 damage to the head with the autocannons the round before (not THAT hard since each of the 20 rounds targets separately, though THAT's going to make rolling hit locations for however many of the 20 hit a real joy) and then get 2 sixes in 6 D6 (or 3 6's in 6D6 without the softening up damage), then, as they say in Camp McLeod, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! *g*

[edit - Know your Scottish clan spellings. lol]

Considering that her name is Meji, not Meiji, I don't see why anyone would... *shrugs* But then, meh. I gave up cating about my point so I'll move on.

I just hope that we progress far enough for everyone to shut the hell up about the FPL pages soon... cause I simply do not want to know what they say.

-Fold
Meh... seems I've suddenly been struck apathetic. *shrugs* Whoopdie-fricken-doo.
