You have voted B. We’re cutting back to the John Philip Sousa now.


“There they are. Get ‘em!” Celling shouts.

Spoiler: Rolls (click to show/hide)

Roll 2d6, +1 military, where:

2 = The Goons shoot you. At this point, the Plot’s working against them, so it’s probably not going to happen.
3 = The Goons get away, heavily wounded.
4 = One Goon escapes
5 = The Goons see you coming and run!
6 to 7 = It turns into a longer firefight as both sides find cover.
8 to 9 = You disable the Goons despite taking some fire yourself
10+ = You capture them without a fight.

Results: 6 + 2 + 1 = 9 → BLAM!

Let’s roll how dead they are.

1 = Dead
2 to 3 = Mostly dead
3 to 5= Seriously wounded
5 to 6 = Limb injury

Serious: 2
Brainy: 6

BLAM! BLAM BLAM!

It’s over in an instant. The Goon which we’ve been calling the “serious” one is down, bleeding out of a wound in his chest. The Brainy Goon screams and topples to the ground as bullets hit his leg.

Fansworth trains his gun on the Brainy Goon’s head. “Two down, Celling.”

“There were six. Where are the last two?” Celling asks.

David points down the deck, where the lifeboat is disappearing in the wake of the ship. “There, probably. I’m sure I can teleport there.”

“This might not be our fight anymore,” Celling points out. He looks on the opposite side of the ship, where the narrow, angled shape of another vessel is visible, in front of the cargo ship. “That looks like a Tambora-class to me. Chasing down this one lifeboat isn’t going to be a problem.”

What do you say?

A: “Go ahead and teleport us to the lifeboat. Can’t hurt to be safe.”
B: “We’ll figure out how far we are from that warship and you can send us there.”
C: “Send us back to South America. We need to see what the rest of our team’s doing.”
D: “Send us on to Antarctica. We’ll wait for news there.”
E: “We have time. Grab a few chairs, let’s watch the show.”

What do you do with the captured Goons?

A: Shoot them!
B: Leave them here.
C: Take them wherever you go. (Provided you do not choose E for the first one)

Post any questions you want to ask the Goons.

[Glass]

Technically E, although more as “We should stick around to supervise the results.”
Also, make sure Brainy is disarmed and Serious is stabilized.

[blueturtle1134]

Also, make sure Brainy is disarmed and Serious is stabilized.

Serious got shot center-of-mass. You're going to have to get him somewhere with medical care to have a hope of stabilizing him, probably with teleports. So once again:

Where should David teleport Brainy Goon?

A: Antarctica!
B: South America!
C: The SFN Etna!
D: Nowhere! Let him bleed out!

And as a corollary, should anyone else accompany him?

[Glass]

Fuck it, nevermind.
I mean, there's probably a medical kit on the ship, but this really isn't a high priority.

[Naturegirl1999]

C

[Madman198237]

None: We're not letting our teleportation guy go around willy-nilly, but we are certainly going to utilize all the medical equipment on the ship (well, one of our characters is is, the other is keeping Brainy under watchful eyes and a loaded gun) to help him, however that may be.

[FallacyofUrist]

This is a post in the thread. Just shoot the goon. Whichever one we should be shooting.

[blueturtle1134]

false alarm

[Glass]

Part one:
“We already have a plan for doing that. Why would we think you're trustworthy? You hijacked the ship and almost killed me."

Part two:
Try to gather supplies quickly (it is an urgent medical situation) and try to return quickly.
Event post being revised, awaiting new details.

[blueturtle1134]

Okay, sorry, here’s the real one. You have voted to let the Goon bleed out!


Celling kneels down to take the Serious Goon’s pulse, then stands up. “I’m going to go around and find medical equipment to stabilize the prisoner,” he tells Fansworth. “Guard them carefully.”

“That ship’s within easy teleportation range. If you really want to get him medical care-”

“No way,” Celling interjects. “We’re not having you leave just to save this guy’s life.” He walks down the deck and in a door to the main structure of the ship.

Fansworth continues to watch the two prisoners. The Serious Goon draws short, gasping breaths, in obvious pain. The Brainy Goon looks at David.

“David, help us. We’re going to bring Anna back.”

“Yeah,” David says nonchalantly, not even turning around. “Break into Antarctica, steal their secret resurrection technology, and bring Anna back from the dead along with your utterly despicable leader. I heard.”

“And you seriously think they’re just going to let you have it?” Brainy Goon insists. “David, they want the Key! They’re not going to risk it busting Anna out.”

Uncertainly, David looks at the Key of Taloc, still in his left hand.

What does Fansworth do?

A: Shoot the Brainy Goon!
B: Threaten him to get him to shut up.
C: Let him talk.
D: Interrupt and say something to David.

And what about Celling?

A: Come running back! Things are about to happen! (RELIES UPON FOURTH WALL KNOWLEDGE)
B: Continue gathering medical supplies.

[Glass]

Part one: Give this man the look that epitomizes the skeptical "Really?"
"What we had against the rebels is that their goal involved the destruction of one of the largest cities in the hemisphere, and potentially the sterilization of the entire continent. It has also come to our attention that they didn't know this. Quite frankly, Erin Quill has expressed interest in the recovering as many of the rebels as we can and show them not only how idiotic their plan was, but also that our government is not the monolithic beacon of terribleness that they thought it was. Without mind-altering substances, at that. Getting Anna back would be considered a boon to us as well, and we already have what we need to make it happen."

Part two:

Try to gather supplies quickly (it is an urgent medical situation) and try to return quickly.

"Alright," David says, seemingly satisfied by this.

Then there's a low hum as he powers up the Key. "Actually, no. I have to be sure. Can I use this to check that you're telling the truth?"

How do you respond?

A: Yes
B: No

[Glass]

Yes.
And we can make him sure of the Fourth Wall at the same time.


(So we’re clear, don’t just make this stuff available to him. Make sure that as soon as the link is established, it’s the first thing he “sees”.)

[blueturtle1134]

...I see that I need to be more precise.

What do you do?

A: Let David scan your mind and...
A1: ...keep the Fourth Wall in your thoughts so he can see it.
A2: ...do nothing about the Fourth Wall
A3: ...try as hard as possible to not think about the Fourth Wall
B: Don't let him
