The parrot just tries to escape.
It utilize further shaky struggling antics to wriggle out of the offending hand and fly off.

+1

[6] - Gone horribly right.

The parrot struggles, and gets out of the hand.

In fact, it pops right out like a cork from a bottle.

It's at this point that he realizes that the group has carried him out of the halls and out onto the deck. He realizes this just in time to smack against a wall (resulting in a 4th concussion) and go plummeting into the cold, frothy ocean below.

The boat is rapidly leaving him behind.

What do you do?


I know you're trying to delay them so Fansworth can sneak around, so I'll record that.

Fly out of the water, return to the ship, and, er, be loud.

Also there's no way that flying into a wall would result in falling into the water. There's too much deck on either side of the walls for that. So if we agree that the parrot is not actually in the water because it shouldn't be, then instead:
Just recover and start flying around and being loud.

Parrot did this:



I considered having it whack against a guardrail, but I figured the Goons would be holding it up higher.

There's no way the walls would be that close to the edge of the ship. And no way the parrot would be that bouncy even if they were.

So it falls to the ground and gets a concussion. The ocean is a couple hundred bits much.

In the case of a six, you don't actually get a say in how much is too much.

[4] - Success

Right before it hits, the parrot wings its way up back to the ship.

The rebel and Goons are in the distance now. You are flying along the right (starboard) side of the ship, along a part of the deck that is just a narrow strip besides the superstructure wall to your left.

The group appears to be coming this way.

What do you do?

SQUAAAAAAWK
Conduct distractions! Loudly! And maybe poop on some of the goons!

[2] - Failure

SQUAAAAAAAK! says the parrot, as it flies up toward the Goons.

The serious goon takes one look, and, exasperated, whips out his gun and shoots at the parrot.

Parrot must Roll To Dodge:

[4] - Success

The parrot dodges the bullet in midair.


Cutting to the Train Problem as requested by Glass:

Montevideo train station

The train stops and Wenton Celling steps out, accompanied by David Eborrenial and a bunch of guards. Amusingly, they still haven't cleaned up Goldsmith's body.

Glass, what did you want to ask?

Well, first thing to do is get David to do a quick scan of our soldiers' minds and disable any that are Goons.

If there actually are Goons, we can use the mindscans as justification to know about the traitors on the ship, and see if David can get us an accurate enough teleport of some troops.

Otherwise (and the thing I requested this for to begin with), since David killed a bunch of Protinam when he was under the control of the Secondborn, encourage him to do a scan for possible Protinam.
Like, a really wide scan.
Really wide.
As far as he can go.
Like, potentially-a-large-ways-into-the-opposite-hemisphere wide.

Hopefully-including-Greece-and-Italy wide.

"David," says Celling quietly. "I suspect that some of our soldiers may be Goonswarm agents. Can you search their minds quickly and disable any that are?"

"Can't help you with that, Celling," David responds. "I see the future, remember. I don't see people's minds."

"The Secondborn was able to break into a person's thoughts," Celling says back.

"It seems that I didn't get all of his powers. Only his power source," David replies. "No, wait, the Key of Taloc should be able to do what you want."

Celling considers this for a moment. The Key's core sits in his left pocket, its bulky physical structure dismissed. He moves on to the other part of his suggestion. "David, the Secondborn wiped out the entire Protinam order there."

David turns away slightly, wincing at the memories. Celling goes on. "You'll need more recruits. Can you scan the world for Protinam?"

"Believe me, if I could do that, I would," David answers. "Protinam don't glow in the Temporal Spectrum, at least not at far range. They're receivers. The best I can do would be to look for their Beacon, assuming they use a similar design to ours, they're not cloaking it or something, and they have enough power for me to detect."

"Can you do that now?" Celling asks.

"I already have," David shoots back. "Same result as when we did it two months ago, as a regularly scheduled check. Nothing. We're all there is."

What do you do about the Key?

A: Hand it to David to use
B: Have Celling use it himself
C: Forget the whole idea

I'd like to note that on Discord, we decided that the Byzantine Empire had Protinam, at some point. That's why Glass asked.

What happened between you and Ryuken that the Byzantine empire got Protinam?

I was asking about if the Byzantines had done a Third Odyssey escape from Europe, and ended up with a 19.
