Rally round the music

Rog posted in

 Rally DeviceI just found this device (see picture) in Earth & Beyond. It gave me a bit of a chuckle so I thought I would share it with you.

I like it when RPGs have a good sense of humour, far too many of them take themselves too seriously. There've been other amusing moments, I've noticed that when you take on passengers they will complain if you get into a firefight and will make comments about any hijacked cargo that you take aboard: "A Bogeril Solar Sail III! Cool!".

While I'm on the amusements, here's a tourist snapshot of myself and Glen on a spacestation, here's the most gaudy painted player ship I've seen and here's a demonstration of what a nice butt I have.

My class doesn't actually have the rally skill that the device pictured requires, but I can attempt to reverse-engineer the device and try to build an improved model which I will give to lurch (who can rally). I doubt however that any of us free birds will actually hear any "Linnart Skinnert" from the game while the device is in use.
