"Well, that could have gone better...

...

Steve, do we have any official jurisdiction we can use to get the citizens to cooperate?"

((I'd facepalm, but then I'd get [Int: 1] You apply the taser glove to your forehead, shocking yourself into unconsciousness, and making everyone else in the general area face palm for you.))

[Yoink]

((All the more reason to do it! That'd totally help us catch the killer... Somehow...

Also: I just noticed, this mission is where speech skill would actually come in handy. Drat.  ))

[Toaster]

((And I've got a natural -2 to speech and -1 to cha, with probably more penalties to at least cha from my new body.  Won't be a problem at all.))

[Nicholas1024]

((Also, I see the tradition of "worst medic" is continuing.))

"You know what... Milno, sorry to leave you with this mess, but could you keep this from degenerating further? I'd like to take another shot at diplomacy with the next house over, now that I've got a better idea of what to say."

[Caellath]

"Come on, Smartass. You know I have survived through all these last missions only due to dumb luck. You are obviously more qualified to handle this." Milno quips with a grin before crossing his arms and leaning his back against the house's wall, a foot away from the nearest window.

[Nicholas1024]

I suppose I deserved that...

"Actually, now that I think about it... Thrak might have given us the solution for this house. I think we can be relatively sure that these people won't be letting anyone inside for quite a while, and the chances of the killer being in that house are low enough that we can come back to it if we can't find him anywhere else.

Head to the next house, knock. If/when someone answers, say

Excuse me there, but we've gotten reports of a rogue altered running around, and we believe he has a human accomplice somewhere in this area. We've got a couple of squads here searching for him, and I'll warn you ahead of time that there may be some commotion when we finally find the criminal. As for how this affects you, we need to conduct a brief search of the house. Once we've finished, lock the house down completely, and don't let anyone in or relax your guard unless a full squad instructs you to, or the situation has been resolved; your life could very well depend on it. Finally, is there anyone here with you?"

[Remalle]

"Hey guys!  I've finished my first medical examination.  This guy is NOT our guy!  Do you want me to keep checking?"

[Scelly9]

Sigh. Break down door.

[Caellath]

Milno follows Kyle.

[Toaster]

((It occurs to me that putting the two guys with tasers on the same team was not a good plan.))  ((Correction- mine's "High power electrical shocks, slightly lower then tesla sabre" which is probably less taser and more electric death.  Never mind!))

[Grunhill]

Follow Milno and Kyle

[Nikitian]

(( Sorry for being late. I was practically knocked uncoscious by sleep deprivation last time. Extended forum roleplaying is so fun 
@Caellath Actually, I thought along the lines of 'funny', '(relatively) harmless' (for Milno, I mean) and 'his alignment isn't very different from that of Milno'.
@Toaster And, of course, 'brought the booze'  ))

By the way, do we know any distinctive marks to look on the torso or anything? I seriously doubt there can be any, actually, for those are not very beneficial at his profession, I believe. But we could possibly sort out more than a half of the potential suspects by checking their gender and if they are really shorter than him (by stabbing in the air above the person (note that the culprit might be crouching or crawling, but that is quite simple to check)).
And after that we can put the rest of the residents to the real test.

Steve, is the agent male or female? How tall is he/she? Does he/she have any distinnguishing characteristics about his/her body?

Oh, and I should mention that playing straight with these people might be the best policy. Mention the 'Corps, the changeling killer, the quarantine and the army and might actually be willing to cooperate. Or not, depending on how they regard the government and whether they know of the HMRC or not.

By the way, Thrak, how hard is that liquor of yours? Would like to know whether we can use it as an antiseptic when the probing starts.

Follow Milno. Shealth the instrument, but keep a hand on it.

[Skyrunner]

"Joy," comments E as she follows not milno goes next door.


((oops :3))

[Caellath]

"Joy," comments E as she follows Milno.

((Your group is a different one.))

"Examine the mother too. We'll leave the daughter alone; she can't be our target. Too small," Jim said to Mesk over coms. He then stepped forward and slammed the cleaver down on the table. "You'll want to shut the fuck up now. My patience is wearing thin."
