I'd take Tempo. Mizol apparently usually have telekinesis, but they're subtle.

Whereas Fireblade would probably knock the roulette ball through the floor or something.

Fireblade doesn't do finesse, what you're talking about is more likely to end in fatalities than money.

Bah, you´re no fun. :P

Besides, Alex is still alive after the little incident in the elevator, and that was when Fireblade was wearing her amplifier. Without it, she is probably sensitive enough for the task.

Hm. Still, Fireblade looks like more fun. :D

No love for Beryl? Pearls before swine I say! She's easily the nerdiest of the lot.

All she needs is glasses. :D

Razor One, i think If you can convince her that visit in casino (or something other - does not matter) would help to her learn more about humans culture, Beryl will take with herself and Fireblade, and Tempo, and all the expeditionary treasury)

Unfortunately card-counting is less effective against modern casinos than one might hope, and they have developed a number of coping mechanisms as it is a form of cheating they have encountered before.

Telekinesis is the best way to break the system. Tempo's subtler telekinetics and relatively high social skills and training in planned deception make you less likely to get caught. With Fireblade I can easily see the situation escalating until the entire city lies in ruin.

No no, you were supposed to say "Screw the rules I have Psionics!"

It is a reference to a joke used in Little Karibo's Yugioh abridged series which I highly recommend checking out if you enjoy nonsensical whimsey.
You can find it here at http://www.yugiohabridged.com/
They also are in the process of making a Dragon Ball Z abridged series which can be located here at http://www.teamfourstar.com

I would rate it up there with Red vs Blue in terms of hilarity.

Well, to say it in Lord Hechinger´s words when he repulsed Anjusha and Aisha: "Don´t lecture me about the rules. YOU proved your disregard for them the moment you stepped through that gate! ...the "rules" no longer apply here."

bringing fireblade to the horse tracks would probably work just fine though, just annoy the horses we do not want to win, would probably create enough statistical change to earn some serious money without being to obvious.

or take one of the more subtle ones to the roulette table, but that is actually more difficult, and it could easily be proven with a video camera and a ballistic projection/comparison program....or well rather easily, humans would probably think it looks odd when something that SHOULD be ballistic is not.

It's a lie! The evidence has been falsified! It's impossible! I never broke the law, I AM THE LAW!
