"No sir, no, we have not been briefed at all, we would really really like to hear what you have to say, in fact."

Ask to be briefed.  Then ready the rifle, and take position somewhere a fair distance away from the machine, but not so far away from the others or close to the walls that Rezel could get separated and boxed in.  Don't aim at the machine.

Spuds looks around for a crate or something to use as a firestep or a bit of cover.  If he finds one, he drags it over to the firing line.

Do not substitute a red barrel.


...Do keep an eye out for a red barrel in case one becomes necessary.

Grab gear and report for duty

The arc scrapper, automop and incinerator have no attacks?

Never ever cease communication with your enemies, never ever cease interaction with them, never isolate yourself from them. Never ignore them, relish the time to deal with them, to exercise banter. The biggest mistake one can make is ignoring one's enemies. Go out of your way to pick a fight today.

To his fellow mopster:
"Obviously we don't attack with them, you tool. We're sanitation engineers, not barbarians. We clean with them.

Ignore the crowd. Inspect equipment to ensure it is functional. Spin the automop. Activate the incinerator. Check the hallway for 'spots' that might need laser squeegeeing. Once satisfied with each piece of equipment, turn them all off and take a coffee break. Squeakily.

Plug in OPCC to convenient wall socket and use it to locate nearest coffee maker and/or kitchen and/or vending machine. Proceed to procuring coffee and snacks. 6 minutes should give me plenty of time.

I could not imagine these are dangerous organisms? Qualt inquires, rather emptily.

Inquire. If there is a chance of deadliness (in other words, regardless of answer) then take solid cover and wait to patch up fleshies.

Ed arrives at the room. Fashionably late, as usual, but not quite too late. He sidles up to Pathos, who is currently fiddling with a coffee machine.

Wait around with Pathos, get some of coffee if he manages to make any. Observe what's going on.
Also, check my omnitech contract notebook if it has some kind of info/encyclopedia function to look up info and precedents. Also check if I can add tiny small text to any contracts/documents I make.

Spoiler: HAZMAT Harry, HMRC (click to show/hide)

"No I'm afraid we have been briefed on no such thing. What organisms are you bringing through, and what parts of them are sharp, flammable, toxic, poisonous, capable of bludgeoning hapless security men, large, reality-warping, or otherwise dangerous to upstanding scientists like yourselves?" Also, check my scanner to establish a baseline for "normal operating environment in this particular corner of the madhouse", to which I can later compare the results.
[2]
Stiles waves a hand at Harry, eyes not leaving the control panel.

"Hush, hush. This is delicate work. Besides, its just standard protocol. It should all be in your handbook."

Harry checks the environmental scanner. Low level ozone contamination, low level radiation coming from...he moves the scanner around...the teleporter. Hm.

Clem rolls its eyes and immediately draws its OMNITECH® Generic™ sidearm, pointing it directly at the glass tube. Whatever malformed monster emerges from the machine will be summarily executed by OMNITECH® Generic™ cartridges and then prodded vigorously by OMNITECH® Null-Rods.
Assuming that most of Clem's coworkers aren't complete idiots. Not looking good on that front, admittedly, Clem thinks to itself.

Draw sidearm, disengage safety, aim directly at the tube. They want security, they get security. Hopefully the OMNITECH® Security Specialists present will get the clue and set up overwatch of their own.
Also, Occult knowledge check on the nature of teleportation and its side effects on living organisms.


Clem walks off to a 45 degree angle away from the front of the teleporter and points his(?) gun at it.
[8]
Clem thinks about teleporters. There are several kinds but because this one isn't instant, it must be a sublight speed teleporter. It doesn't use space time distortion or dimensional tunneling so it should be pretty stable in those respects, though using data packets does give a chance of distortion over increasing distances. If their compensation factors aren't up to snuff it could result in what amounts to an incomplete or distorted version of whatever they sent.

”Have any of you eggheads every seen a single movie?”
Get in the corner of the room and ready my rifle.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Lance huddles in a corner, pointing his rifle at the tube.

"Excuse me, do you mind explaining how the teleporter works? Fixing things is easier when you understand what they were like in the first place."

Spoiler: Patrick Edmundson (click to show/hide)
[3]
Stiles launches off into a long winded and very technical diatribe as he continues working on at the panel, seemingly speaking from rote memorization. Probably a pitch he had to make to investors at some point. Its a bit confused but from what Patrick can tell, the teleporter is basically one of the "Digitize original, transport data, rebuild matter" kinds. According to Stiles it differs from the others of its kind in that, unlike the T-111 type it doesn't require a vat of physical media to reconstitute the teleported item. It instead converts the item to a high energy stream of atoms that are reassembled after being "Caught".

"No sir, no, we have not been briefed at all, we would really really like to hear what you have to say, in fact."

Ask to be briefed.  Then ready the rifle, and take position somewhere a fair distance away from the machine, but not so far away from the others or close to the walls that Rezel could get separated and boxed in.  Don't aim at the machine.

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

[2] Rezel tries to get a word in edgeways but Stiles is already busily working and rattling off a speech about how the machine works, so he doesn't hear him or doesn't care. 

Rezel tsks and goes to stand somewhere about equidistant between the wall and the teleporter, ready to shoot but not actively aiming yet.

Dave walks up to Mildred and casually jams a wad of sterile cotton into her mouth, pressing it into the gap where her front teeth used to be.

"You'll be fine, stop whining."

Spuds looks around for a crate or something to use as a firestep or a bit of cover.  If he finds one, he drags it over to the firing line.

Do not substitute a red barrel.


...Do keep an eye out for a red barrel in case one becomes necessary.


Spoiler: Spuds. Security Guard (click to show/hide)
Spuds looks around for some convenient cover. No red barrels, but there is a maybe 2 foot tall metal crate off to the edge of the room. He walks over and inspects it. A shipping label on top marks it as being "High Capacity Fuses". Considering these are probably not explosive, he shoves it into a bit more tactical of a position and then crouches down behind it.

Grab gear and report for duty

The arc scrapper, automop and incinerator have no attacks?

((They have no listed attacks but you can still hit people with them, though damage won't be great ((( unless you find the secret d20 damage random item))) ))

 Aigre is also in the teleporter room and always has been, despite what the papers might say.

To his fellow mopster:
"Obviously we don't attack with them, you tool. We're sanitation engineers, not barbarians. We clean with them.

Ignore the crowd. Inspect equipment to ensure it is functional. Spin the automop. Activate the incinerator. Check the hallway for 'spots' that might need laser squeegeeing. Once satisfied with each piece of equipment, turn them all off and take a coffee break. Squeakily.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Jon walks away from the group and begins inspecting his gear. He turns on the automop and gives it a few test spins, wiping up a dried coffee spill in the corner. He then activates the Incinerator and dumps the paper cup -also from the spilled coffee- into it. Everything seems to be working well.  He yawns, stretches, turns off the gear and then walks out into the hall, looking for a coffee machine.
[9] He walks a few feet down the hall in a direction the group didn't go yet and finds a break room immediately. Its unoccupied so he walks in, gets a paper cup full of very cheap instant coffee and stands in the corner, sipping it thoughtfully.

Heather hides behind Spuds, putting a metal crate and a squishy person between herself and any potential harm.

Plug in OPCC to convenient wall socket and use it to locate nearest coffee maker and/or kitchen and/or vending machine. Proceed to procuring coffee and snacks. 6 minutes should give me plenty of time.

Pathos follows Jon out and joins him in the break room. He plugs his OPCC in and then rifles through the fridge with a cup of coffee in the other hand. Eventually he finds a small plastic container containing brownies. There's no name on it so, by international jackass law, it is considered up for grabs.  He carries it over to the little table in the room and starts munching.

I could not imagine these are dangerous organisms? Qualt inquires, rather emptily.

Inquire. If there is a chance of deadliness (in other words, regardless of answer) then take solid cover and wait to patch up fleshies.
Spoiler: Qualt (click to show/hide)
[2] Qualt inquires about the organisms being transported but Stiles seems to ignore him. Thus uninformed, he goes and hides behind Heather, increasing the coward conga-line to 3 people and a box.



The clock displays

2:36:12

and then there is a loud beeping noise and the clock suddenly drops to

0:00:00

The tube lights up like a magnesium flare for several seconds and the entire room fills with a buzz like a dot matrix printer screaming bloody murder. And then the light  vanishes and in the tube is a single white mouse. Utterly normal looking and apparently mildly confused as it is walking around and sniffing with great interest. The machine, which went from zero to bone rattling hum in about a fraction of a second, begins rapidly quieting.

"Security." Stiles says, pointing at the tube, "If you would. We're going to lift the enclosure, please retrieve the specimen and bring it here." Then, to someone else, apparently one of the men in the viewing rooms. "Jackson, let them know we're ready for the next one."

Ed follows Jon and grabs some coffee at the same time.

[4] Ed pokes through the Contract Notebook and finds that he can indeed choose things manually, though the process is pretty damn obtuse and not easy to work with. Clearly it wasn't designed for manual cataloging so all the templates are sort of just sitting in a giant unsearchable list that you have to scroll through. And some aren't named very comprehensible things. The heck is a "Bestiality/copy right infringement waiver"?

Run the scanner again, check that mouse for hazards, then tell people whether it's safe or not. If it is, remove it if it's safe let someone else remove it.

Then ask what the next creature they're bringing through is.
