Umm Sarge? You do realize all of that stuff would be about as usefull as bring a kinfe to a gunfight. Better luck trying to engage a Metal Storm unit with a pocket knife. Personally i would not risk trying to ride this out in anything less than a Bolo Mark XXX combat unit.

Ahh... that's the one with the battery of infinite-repeaters, and the back-up vest-pocket crater gun in the glovebox, right?

I will re-state for the record- In truth, that rambleing was mostly gratuitous gun and bomb porn for no other reason than who and what I am- I am more likely to be concerned about a mixer for the tequila than anything that might offend the natives... but as I was going through the TM on forward observation posts and their TO&E, I figured I would go full regulation just for giggles. Keep a low profile, get ready to duck or run... ought to survive nicely...

All that said, there's reasons I'm using an Out-Of-Phase Pocket. Thanks to my handy-dandy Portable Pan-Dimensional Portal with optional soft-serve attachment (as any who've haunted the old X-E forums will remember), I can be right there without being there. Although cousin Shelly might still be able to smell a hot pile of fresh frybread just a dimension or two away.

Why does Jin's Bikini top have the same light pattern as Kathrine's eyes?

Now I think Jin's boobs are staring at me.
And I think they might be angry. :shock:

I remember Jin wearing something similar in January of 2011... beginning here: http://wapsisquare.com/comic/that-easy/

Then there was the dreaded search for a new island, the sea urchin incident and volcano where she was wearing a kick ass Bikini... beginningin February of 2012 here: http://wapsisquare.com/comic/twelve-vortices/

The original Sea Urchin incident... http://wapsisquare.com/comic/crack-it-open/

There was a piece of artwork Paul did about this incident too... but I think it was on ebay...
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

That suit did not reveal Jin's "underboobs" (as 'Sali mentioned a day or two ago). This one rides a bit higher.

So, wait. Just what Golem powers does Jin still have? I know she's mortal and destructible, but can she still throw a golf ball all the way to Venice... the short way?

Yeah, I know that was Bud, but I can't think of any major display of strength from Jin.

Because I'm pretty sure if a squishy human exerted that much force on their body, they'd rip themselves apart in a spectacular fashion. It's already been documented that the full power of normal human muscles can rip themselves away from the bone and stuff. What happens when a squishy Golem tries?

Ludicrous Gibs?

I think Jin is tuned down to Very Strong Mortal.

Illiad's link is too subtle, and Sarge needs a backward facing catapult, with the cup dug into his foxhole... just in case.

It's obvious that she really doesn't like those tax cheats and shady corporate accountants, but I'd imagine that decapitating them like that makes it a bit difficult to get them to pay their fines...?

A catapult? Might want to go for either a torsion design, as opposed to a trebuchet... Or maybe a ballista. A trebuchet is hard to compact, at it requires a lever and a big counterweight. Torsion catapults can be modified using modern materials. I suggest two thick cylinders of vulcanized rubber. A ballista might generate a fatal G load, on second thought.
