then in the name of ethics and science, Refine my technique and continue to do so until even the portion of non-psychics that exist can do it in their sleep!
[1d6+skill bonus = 5 skill level 1] The technique is refined to the point of triviality. You weren’t expecting non-psychics to actually be able to do it in their sleep, but hey, science!
"Bob's lab has been destroyed, but Bob shall persevere and Bob shall build a new lab somewhere!"
Bob shall go back to the lab and retrieve Bob's car then Bob will go and look for an abandoned office building and make that Bob's new lab.
[1d6 = 2] After fifteen minutes or so of driving around, you conclude that there are actually very few unused warehouses lately.
Let's see how good it goes
Preform a test lunch to a stable orbit and measure the time and distance the rocket travels
[1d6 +1(powerful fuel) = 5+1 = 6] The rocket launches into orbit successfully. After about 1.5 hours, it passes over your position. Then after another hour and a half it does so again. You scribble down the data it transmits to you eagerly.
4 of them now.
Software set-up. Coding in the relay and connecting them to the hub.
Software determines location of spiders, as well as actions. I can set them up in groups to perform certain tasks, or send them to locations.
Remember to feed them.
As the software should be fairly easy with the Hub Program set-up, See about creating a Dragonfly bot. Nanotech makes for light works, and the fact that they also can change their color is built into the skin. They should also be capable of turning what the eat into Nano-material, which is defaulted to a string like substance that can be built up until a new Dragonfly bot is created, kinda like an egg.
Light like a dragonfly, and like one in most ways too.
(programming) [1d6+1 +skill bonus(machine) = 2+1+1 = 4] You successfully program the software into the robots.
The spider-bots duplicate themselves again.
(dragonfly) [1d6+skill bonus +skill bonus(machine) = 5 skill level 1] Flight as fast as a real dragonfly, changing colors to the point of invisibility, also capable of self-replication… truly a brilliant invention.
If I plate a silver wire with bismuth, will it weaken the current of magic going through it, or insulate it from outside magic? Test this by getting three wires, two just silver the other silver with bismuth plating - and leave one of the silver ones curved into a U-shape, while twisting the other two so that they have one side that's a loop, one side that's got the two ends of the wire, and between them, a section where the wires touch each other to cause a short circuit. Power the wires and have magic sensors monitoring the magic level in the loop area for both twisted wires and the end of the curve for the non-twisted wire (make sure the bismuth is removed in the monitoring area).
Aside from that, I'd like to check if I can design pentacles that allow for scrying. It's a relatively safe way to check for non-summoning functions of magic.
(bismuth) [1d6+skill bonus+1 = 1+1+1 = 3] Bismuth does not appear to conduct magic, explaining why a short circuit didn’t form.
(scrying) [1d6+skill bonus+1 = 5 skill level 1] Yes, you can definitely do so. You decide to use it to look around the city a little bit. Let’s see, there’s the bloodstains and police tape where the hamster-bears rampaged, there’s the path of destruction they left… wait, were those giant snakes or crocodiles lurking in the shadows? Oh no, they’re just giant iguanas… wait,
what?"Time to fix the cloning device."
Put my effort into seeing what is wrong with the cloning vat and seeing if I can make it more efficient with less of a magnetic footprint. Clones find me a hobo and carefully, without drawing attention, bring him back.
(cloning vat) [1d6+skill bonus = 5 skill level 1] You’ve managed to make the cloning vat better and make it run on gravity instead of electromagnetism… somehow.
(hobo) [1d6 = 6] Hobo? Check. Subtlety? Not check.
(federal preparations) [1d6 +1(psychic powers) -2(very hobbled) +skill bonus(narrow AI) = 5+1-2+1 = 5] No news about the FBI. But hey, no news is good news, right?
"Sure, thank you"
Travel with the FBI back to the lab and start experimenting in creating living rocks
You are dropped off at your lab safely.[1d6+skill bonus = 3+1 = 4] You conclude that a good way to do so would be to use silicon instead of carbon as the base element for their bodies.
Rah Nahizleth Jtavanag Fatuh
send Eldritch lightening bolt in nonbelievers
[1d6 = 3]
(1d6 = 5) vs (1d6 +1(numbers) = 3+1 = 4)
The lightning isn’t really that effective. It might not even be accurate to call it lightning.
Have I done anything illegal that would make the FBI want to pursue me? Regardless, try and hide any trace of my location online, ask Bastet for help regarding concealing our location and existence.
(you) [1d6 = 2] Sadly, without any particular hacking skills, you are unable to accomplish much.
(Bastet) [1d6 +1(digital) +skill bonus(less restricted) = 1+1+1 = 3] Bastet removes the most obvious references to you. At least that’s something.
Utilizing the metal of Quicksilver (Mercury) and incorporating it into the omega-serum, the creation of Omega-serum can be finalized, the ability to truly become a speedster. Increased skin protection, ability to mentally process information from going at high-speeds, and enchanted leg muscles and metabolism of Quicksilver through the veins to move at hyper sonic legs, the creation of this serum will happen through the genetic modification of physical bodies. The tiger-iguanas will assault warehouses for the usage of human “laborers” and mercury vials into mass-production.
(omega) [1d6 = 6] The serum definitely works! But the mice you tested it on died of mercury poisoning.
(iguanas) [1d6 = 2] The iguanas are unable to do anything with the various SWAT teams moving around the city.
(police investigation) [1d6 = 2] No leads… so far.
