B, which is to attempt to remove the information through use of Quill’s memory serums.
As it turns out,
I lied about the d6 being rolled for Armen’s reaction. After thinking it over I realized I already had a specific reaction planned out for her.
Roll 2d6+2 (scientific) where,
2 to 4 = There is no way to get it removed AND it fails silently; if Tommy and Armen so choose, they can pretend that the data was successfully removed. If this is the case, a fake roll will be presented (9 or above)
5 = There’s no way to get it off. You’ll have to decide what to do now.
6 to 8 = It fails silently, but only on the first time. Trying again may solve it. If Tommy and Armen so choose, they can pretend the data was removed and then they still have it, with a fake roll (9 or above) presented. Otherwise, reroll.
9 to 11 = It is removed without consequences
12+ = Knowledge gathered from this instance makes us understand the memory-altering serums more. +1 to future uses of the serum.
Result: 2 + 6 + 2 = 10 → Bingo! (or is it?)
“Well, that worked,” says Celling. Quill’s research into memory alteration was fairly well documented and the scientists at Andes Command were able to eliminate the critical information from Tommy’s mind quickly enough. “You don’t remember a thing, right?”
“No,” Tommy says. He seems much brighter now, sporting a grin that looks out of place on his modified body. “Just going to sleep then, and waking up now. There’s nothing in between.”
Roboson steps next to Celling. “We’re just going on his word, right? You should probably confirm all this. He may just be pretending to forget it. He may have legitimately forgotten it now, but may regain them later on and then our secrets are out. I’m sure we can reactivate the mental link and scan for any remnant memories.”
“We have no idea how the neural shackle will interact with the memory serums,” Celling answers. “It could cause permanent damage, or return a false negative. And Quill’s not here to oversee it. Neither is the guy that invented the Cherubs, T. Levin. They’re the only ones that really understand how it works, and I think they should be here if we’re going to try to use it in this way.”
What do you choose to do?A: Release Tommy right now.
B: Attempt to use the Cherub implants/programming to check if he really remembers anything.
C: Detain him for longer to wait for Erin Quill and/or T. Levin to arrive.
