Ah.  Okay.

Yeah it protects you from going deaf from quick sound bursts. But it doesn't just dampen the loud noises. It does everything for the "moment" that the sound hits that high

Post altered.

Hope everyone had a good memorial day weekend. I'll review and post later today if applicable.

Here you go.  Let me know if by some chance I go first.

20:17, Today: Lady Koi rolled 13 using 1d10+7, rerolling max with rolls of 6.  Initiative.

You are up first.

Unexpected.  Well, if he is going to shoot, then I will shoot him first.  Point blank range, right?

Have an SCA event this weekend. Will mostly be MIA.

Phoenix your shots Miss just an FYI due to the crowded room.

With Phoenix communicating via implant, there shouldn't be any issues with the aural environment right?

So no penalty to discern what he's saying?

Trying to think how that would work.

I believe the implant description states the user doesn't have to speak, but only subvocalize, which implies the microphone isn't responding to air coming from the mouth but likely vibration directly from the larynx.

I've never used a modern throat microphone, but they operate in a similar manner and one of the advantages is supposed to be transmission clarity in otherwise loud environments.

So assuming the operational principle is the same, and the music isn't so loud and/or at a frequency that is causing Phoenix's internals to vibrate in a completely uncontrolled manner, I figure there should be if not a full reduction in outside aural interference, at least a reduction of some sort.

Yeah I need to look up the cyber but don't have my rule books with me atm.

As far as the music goes. It is very loud. The Level Dampner Phoenix runs means he hears almost nothing right now.

If it helps, this is the description of the Mastoid Commo:

Mastoid Commo: all commos are radio transceivers. This
one is glued to the jaw and temple; you send via
subvocalization and receive with soundless vibrations.

Doing a bit further research on the Mastoid Commo (& the similiar cyberware) you still have to mutter under your breath to "speak". Which means its going to work better than say trying to talk into a phone but still not going to be perfect.


In that light give me an awareness/perception check to see what was understood

The SalaryMan rolled 39.  Awareness/Notice.

In reply to The SalaryMan (msg # 117):

LOL. Welp for whatever reason its clear as day to you.

Who do we still have with us? Want to make sure I know who is going to jumping in.

Like the Phoenix, I burn to go out in a blaze of glory.

Present.

Still lying in a pool of my own blood, yes.

Trying to get to you.

Sorry for the delay was hoping others would pop in.

Still looking at options.

What's in this area of the CZ in front of the Garbage Pail?  Is there enough prosperity that there's any vehicle traffic or is the truck the Arab man going to the sole motorized transport amongst what is otherwise pedestrian traffic?

If a firefight breaks out (rare for the combat zone, I know) is there old broken down junk or other cover available besides hiding behind the corner of a building?

15:28, Today: Lady Koi rolled 2 using 1d10, rerolling max with rolls of 2.  Stun Recovery Save.

Well, that seems okay, at least I'm not dying.

Phoenix will check on her.  If she's not dying, he is going to try to get her out.
