((Ah yeah, the fleshy boy, but he already got some goodies he wanted, plus I'm still rather apprehensive of mixing the bio fleshhorror with the demonic fleshhorror. But if nobody wants it and he still does we can chance it I suppose.))

((I see from Discod that he has evoked his claim on the demon thingum. Dispose of as you will.))

"Oh, me, me! I have a question! Has that flesh horror rights bill passed?"

Shapeshift into a more canine shape, seeing as SAM will have to be tracking someone while on her vacation.

Also, time to increase dexterity and smoke one of the nootropics Anya have SAM.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Samantha "SAM" Endashale
Description: Sam used to be a research scientist at a prestigious biotech company until her distressing vigor for human experimentation got her fired. That, or perhaps the 3 graduate students that went missing under her tutelage. Regardless of the reason, she ended up finding work at OMNITECH. She chose a field position herself, and seems to be eagerly awaiting the chance to try....something....

She currently looks like she belongs in the final act of a certain 1988 cyberpunk anime.

"One, what kind of gun is that on top, what can it kill? Also I'm confused, does it need to be fired by one of us, or does Ed fire it and we only reload it?.

Two, what level of support and aid can we expect from the military, and would they be willing to loan us some gear before we get started? Are there any assets, like drones or mortars, that we might be able to call in?"

Tune in to the 24/7 broadcast to see if anything interesting/noteworthy/out-of-the-ordinary has happened recently.

That is the OMNITECH “Genesis” Multi-function launcher. It can fire a variety of shells with different capacities. Included are Flares, Camera pods, Nets, Shriekers, and standard Shells (3d10 damage). It can be fired by Ed or one of you, but must be manually reloaded.

Theoretically you have a fairly high level of support but in actuality they are likely rather short stocked themselves and will be...uncooperative beyond basic supplies. Things going missing, that sort of thing. They will not provide assistance within the disaster zone itself, but will provide basic resupply, medical aid, etc. Anything beyond that will probably be reliant on your powers of persuasion. 

You attempt to tune in and it asks you to pay for the service. Of course.

The OMNI-Fun visor displays a convincing 3d representation of a ordinary, but quite nice and well made, wooden desk sitting atop a mountain peak. You're looking down over a wide green valley below, clouds drifting slowly over the tall conifer trees and the sparkling river running through it.

If not, half normal price plus d6, no more than starting price

1) They are 100 omni and I rolled a 3 on the d6, so that'd be 53 omni then? Does the die you roll depend on how expensive the item is, or what else do you mean with 'd6'?

2) How much spare ammo do the auditor weapons come with?

Autonomous targeting system: Allows for a second weapon to be fired as a secondary attack even after firing the standard single attack. Weapon must be held in the other hand and uses suit parameters instead of user skill.

3) What do you mean by 'suit parameters'? What does it roll then?

For the mission:
4) Edited map with grids coordinates and points of interest. What do you think of it, is it clear for you?

1. Biorhythm tracker: Allows the tracking of a single target. Their outline will appear on the user's vision from any distance, through any material. Tracking can be initiated with line of sight OR DNA sampling.
2. Autonomous targeting system: Allows for a second weapon to be fired as a secondary attack even after firing the standard single attack. Weapon must be held in the other hand and uses suit parameters instead of user skill.
3. Ammunition Transmutation forge: Shoebox sized device that allows ammunition of one kind to be transmuted into a different kind of ammo. Not one to one, requires equal or greater monetary value of the input to get the output. Ie a 20 omni bullet would require the sacrifice of at least 20 omni worth of other ammo to make.
4. Weakness Analysis protocols: Automatically detects and displays the structural or biological weaknesses of any targeted enemy.
5. Pulse Laser: Infinite use military grade laser fired from the point of the "Beak". Deals d12 but requires d6 turns to recharge after every use.
6. Micromissile Pack: Built into the hunched back, fires salvos of micromissiles that deal d6xd6 damage. Has a d4 use die. Guided via laser targeting using Gun skill.
7. OMNITECH ferromagnetic accelerator: Standard version of the system but built into the hands. Pick up metal objects and fire them. Damage dependent on object.
8. Wrist Mounted Shotguns: Same damage as "PUNCH!" shotgun.
9. Palm mounted Carbines: Same as Pinpoint Carbine.

1. Lets do 130.
2. Missile none, Shotgun and carbine, 3 reloads.
3. Light weapons use dex, heavy use strength. Doesn't really matter since they're equal right now.
4. Looks ok, but shove those bases outside the yellow zone. They're on the edge, not inside. Or don't and just understand that.
5. Dead center in the red zone.
6. Depends. Food, medicine, weapons, ammo are all universally useful and good trade. Leaders might have more specific desires, but that is something you'll have to find out.
7. Try not to attack any military men. Or if you do, cover it up. Everyone else is fair game as far as legality is concerned.

Try to set up a program to help us find the scientists. The program should examine video footage of people and look for outward signifiers of scientific aptitude such as glasses, poor physique, pocket protectors, labcoats, frizzy white hair, proximity to scientific equipment, etc.

When it sees a scientist, it will sound an audiable alarm and highlight said scientist. This should help us reliably identify the scientists that we are looking for.

[2] Ed tries to get a simple identification program set up as he waits but test runs result in it grabbing every person in the hanger, along with a few bits of metal that kind of look like faces.

A good idea though.

((there should be bases on 75 south and 96 West as well. Probably more realistically than the ones on 75 north (leads to Flint, and who cares about Flint?) and 94 North (The Thumb? Really? May as well force the altered to move there rather than keep them out. Also, those directions aren't great for military resupply while 96 and 75 have much better access for that kind of thing. Well, assuming the various world changing events didn't change anything particularly important.))

I do have a question or two about this mission. Bob doesn't, but I do.

Also

PW! YOU'VE GONE AND PUT THE ENTIRE TEAM AT THE MERCY OF A 'PILOT' AGAIN! HASN'T ER, DIG, AND MOOK TAUGHT YOU ANYTHING YET?

No~
Also this is why I tied his brain to the car~

"Questions! Firstly, have there been any observations of coherent religious beliefs popping up among the inhabitants of either the yellow or orange zones? If so, what are their details and/or objects of worship? And their names, especially their names. Secondly, what can we expect as far as how HELL-infused objects will react with the various sorts of reality distortions? Thirdly, what could be summarized as the average mental state of an inhabitant of the yellow zone? Is there any commonality to how the reality distortion affects people there, or is it mostly patternless? Fourthly, have any incidences of thought forms such as, er, the one involving gambling that we encountered recently been observed as manifesting in any of the zones with any degree of frequency?

And fifthly, have you heard the Sacred Name of our Lord and Savior ED? If not, there's a lot to be gained from just a quick overview of the Sacred Precepts...

EEEDD continues on a ramble about the benefits of ED-dom to anybody in blathering distance for the next 30 minutes.

Spoiler: EEEDD (click to show/hide)

Name: EEEDD (Entertaining, Educational, Elastic, Disposable, Devoted)

Background: Created as part of a product line of quick-use clones with pre-installed memories, skills, and behavioral sets in order to fill gaps in high-skill fields for a comparatively cheap price, EEED’s entire line was scrapped when someone realized his name-acronym sounded like it was describing a sex toy and the resulting onslaught of memes caused the forced ‘retirement’ of the executives that had initiated the idea. This EEED, gestationally imprinted with chiropractic and massage techniques, was somehow missed in the purge of defective product and ended up finding a job with OMNICORP before his parent company’s legal team/hit squad could track him down.

Description: A big, doughy ball of a man, with earnest, simplistic facial features that look like someone crudely shaped them out of clay. Small, circular eyes peer out at the world with innocent warmth, contrasting his oddly large teeth that are perfectly square and just a little larger than normal, enough to be noticeable. He has absolutely no hair, though his scalp is tattooed with his terms of usage, patterned in such a way that suggests a balding fringe.

3. Any advice/info about identifying anomalies/safe paths? Would it be useful to hire a local tour guide? Are there even safe paths or are the anomalies constantly moving and changing?
4. If we find and capture an interesting human or animal, can we bring them back or would that break quarantine and get the army shooting at us? If we find one of those scientists, could we give them to OMNITECH or do they need to stay in the zone?
5. Any particularly successful gangs/warlords we should know about/watch out for? Anyone we could potentially negotiate with for information? Perhaps in exchange for taking care of some other gang for them?
6. What's the situation on Ann Arbor? Under military control? Some militia keeping the peace? Some warlord ruling the place? An uneasy peace between gangs? Warzone?



 

Spoiler: Pathos: Senior Tech Officer (click to show/hide)

Name: Pathos
Physical Description: About 3 meters tall, though often looks shorter because it tends to be hunched over.  Its head is triangular, lacking any recognizable details like eyes or mouth, and instead looks almost avian. One point of the triangle is elongaged, forming the front of the "face", while the others are pulled back, forcing a sort of curve into the bottom leg of the triangle that gives it a sort of horned appearance. The horns wrap back around to form a ring about a foot and a half across. Inside this ring floats a black sphere which seems to be slowly and constantly pulsing. The triangle is segmented, with thin groves running back up along its length and giving it a sort of chitinous appearance, like the shell of a woodlouse. Its body is roughly humanoid though its proportions and geometry is distinctly alien: not only looking nothing like a human but nothing like what a human would create.  It has a thin, fiberous neck, a huge hunched back and shoulders, a pelvis that twists forward at an almost painful angle, and long arms and legs, both of which have an extra joint to them. Its shoulders look almost like nautilus shells, a row of thin needle sharp spines runs down its neck and back, apparently along its spine, and it seems to have no palms to its hands nor thumbs, just a series of 8 fingers that connect to a wrist joint.  It looks, all and all, much more like something they dug out of an alien tomb than something any engineer would have made. It has a faint blue glow emanating from its groves and crevices, as though the black armor was simply containing some radiant being within.
Background: Delusions of grandeur. Took this job as a way to rapidly advance the ranks and see cool things. And because it would give him plenty of opportunities to set things on fire without his superiors being close enough to yell at him. Lost his original body in a freak shuttle accident. Was a spiderbot for a while.

1. Yes,there is a standard driver position. You could do it manually or via wire.
2. You could, yes.
3. Locals would probably be more adept at avoidance. Our info is mostly concerned with finding or understanding.
4. You cannot bring locals out, at least not alive. Get your info from the people and kill the beasts. Again, don't load up the car with a bunch of scavenged garbage. We want answers first and foremost. Get only things that relate to that or things of particular value.
5.  Ask the local military. Such things are in constant flux so they're the most keyed in to the current situation.
6.  Most of the population is relatively peaceful, though very opportunistic. The rulers are a constantly shifting series of gangs and warlords who hold parts or the whole of the city. Nowhere in the zone is under military control.

Baldwin looks at the map for a moment and then takes a puff from his pipe. A ring of smoke comes out whose radius is constantly expanding and contracting, while the colors slowly oscillate from purple, to yellow, to green.

"Yep, looks like a long drive... Is there any reason why we're starting from the edge of the circle and creeping inwards? It seems like it'd be easier to just airdrop us out of the sky right above our objective and go full operation market garden on that shit. It's not like the interference goes infinitely upwards. Those weapons companies were able to figure out how to drop supplies into the zone after all."

"Also, how's sailing in the anomaly? It seems like the Detroit river could be a useful way of getting us out of there once we find what we're looking for."

Baldwin also makes a request to see some live footage of the TV violence in the orange zone. His goal is to get a better feel for how the reality warping shenanigans in the anomaly manifest. Does his occult training give him any deeper understanding of what's going on? Maybe other reality warping incidents were covered as case-studies in his classes.

Spoiler: Rob (click to show/hide)

Name: Robert Baldwin
Physical Description: A tall and thin man with green eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. You'd almost mistake him for a hippy if it weren't for how well-groomed he was. His hair has a shine to it that one could only get from the most expensive of shampoos and conditioner, while his complexion is flawless. No one knows where he gets his personal hygiene products from.

Background: In a past life, Robert had been a famous architect who distinguished himself with his avant garde designs. Life was good for the young upstart, until his preference for beauty over practicality caught up with him.

His biggest achievement, the Sierra Space Resort was a massive space station meant to house the wealthiest of space tourists. Modelled after a dance device from a bygone era, the station was a giant ball covered almost entirely in mirrors. It would reflect the light of a local star and spread it throughout the cosmos, broadcasting its brilliance to anyone in the solar system. This gave it the nickname the "Dazzle Star".

Though the clientele loved it, locals would get very pissed whenever the D-Star touched down in their corner of space. The reflected sunlight wreaked havoc on nearby planets, starting wildfires and even boiling oceans. Eventually enough people got mad and banded together to form a rebellion. The station was not designed to defend against such attacks and was quickly blown up, along with all the upper-classmen inside it.

Someone had to pay for that bloodshed, so Robert ended up facing the suit's wrath. As punishment he was cryogenically frozen for 200 years. Long enough to go out of style.

After serving his sentence, Baldwin applied for a job at OMNI, but the suits confused his unusual floorplans for diagrams of summoning circles. Robert was hired on the spot, but it was only during his second week of basic training did he realize that he may not have gotten the job he was looking for...

OMNITECH Black Jumpsuit
     The standard OMNITECH jumpsuit. Covers everything but the head, hands, and feet. Stain resistant, waterproof, breathable, light, and overall comfortable as everyday wear. Offers no protection against anything more dangerous than a spilled cup of coffee.  Has the employee’s name stenciled on the back like a sports jersey.  This one is Black and has a smaller “OCCULT” stenciled across the right side of the chest, just under the collar bone.
OMNITECH Generic Personal Sidearm (d4 ranged attack) x3 Magazines (d4 use die)
     One of the “Generic” brand of OMNITECH weapons which are ubiquitous in OMNITECH installations. The Generic Personal Sidearm is a handgun as drawn by a 9 year old; A gray rectangle with a gray rectangle grip and a trigger that looks more like a light switch with a trigger guard that looks like an allen wrench. It is uncomfortable, unappealing, and very clearly designed by the lowest bidder, but can effectively put .45 slugs into targets.
OMNITECH Universal Containment Pod x 5
    OMNITECH Containment pods resemble a clear tube held in between two large metal ends with long rods forming a cage and reinforcing structure around the tube.  One of the metal ends has an iris design to allow it to open and allow a sample in before clamping shut.

    The Null-rod is a collapsible rod made of the same non-reactive acrylic as the inner lining of the containment pods. Used by Cultists for the investigative prodding and poking of things that look dangerous.
Ceremonial Dagger (d4, uses occult, die explodes and increases level each explosion)
    A prototype self defense weapon with an entangled connection to the Highly Evil, Logarithmically Lethal plane (H.E.L.L.). Has an over designed appearance to it with a human bone handle and a hooked, serrated blade, almost like a linoleum knife designed by someone who wants to make the linoleum suffer. It’s unknown if the design is somehow conducive to the entanglement or if it's just someone’s idea of a joke. Normally the knife functions like any other mundane instrument of murder, but occasionally it will manifest high levels of H.E.L.L. resonance, producing short lived demonic emissions on contact. Has no OMNITECH branding and never saw a commercial release as of yet due to concerns of cross dimensional bleedover and possession.

I don't have a subscription to such things. Maybe a teammate does? Or can...get it so to speak?

Air drop into the heart of the zone would, effectively, be dropping you into a tornado. You would likely all die before being useful. You'll understand better when you see it.  The weapons companies are dropping in the orange zone, and even then only by drones. Disposable drones.

I've heard that the waters in the area are...unpleasant.

Is there any thing like those artifact things they used to pull out of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to be looted in Detroit?
Also why is it still called Neo Detroit if it's gone back to being the massive shit hole that it was?

Yes. Though not all of them can be pulled from the area. Like a deep sea fish being yanked to the surface, many creatures and objects will not survive moving from one area to another. Those that do can be valuable and useful. Or trash.

Name: Edward Paganini Scrum
Description: Edward has the look of a grumpy boulder, an impassive craggy face with lumpy, half swollen features. Once he made deal with a dog-sized flea in the cargo hold of a helium trawler near Jupiter. That trawler never made it back to port, but Edward did. He's been itchy ever since. Sometimes he sees things in the machines he fixes, sometimes he knows things he shouldn't. He won't talk about how he got here, what he intends to do, or what the deal he made was. He is quiet, fatalistic, distant, but prone to occasionally ramble with a distant look in his eyes. He's 36, but he looks 60.

Spoiler: Rob (click to show/hide)

Name: Robert Baldwin
Physical Description: A tall and thin man with green eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. You'd almost mistake him for a hippy if it weren't for how well-groomed he was. His hair has a shine to it that one could only get from the most expensive of shampoos and conditioner, while his complexion is flawless. No one knows where he gets his personal hygiene products from.

Background: In a past life, Robert had been a famous architect who distinguished himself with his avant garde designs. Life was good for the young upstart, until his preference for beauty over practicality caught up with him.

His biggest achievement, the Sierra Space Resort was a massive space station meant to house the wealthiest of space tourists. Modelled after a dance device from a bygone era, the station was a giant ball covered almost entirely in mirrors. It would reflect the light of a local star and spread it throughout the cosmos, broadcasting its brilliance to anyone in the solar system. This gave it the nickname the "Dazzle Star".

Though the clientele loved it, locals would get very pissed whenever the D-Star touched down in their corner of space. The reflected sunlight wreaked havoc on nearby planets, starting wildfires and even boiling oceans. Eventually enough people got mad and banded together to form a rebellion. The station was not designed to defend against such attacks and was quickly blown up, along with all the upper-classmen inside it.

Someone had to pay for that bloodshed, so Robert ended up facing the suit's wrath. As punishment he was cryogenically frozen for 200 years. Long enough to go out of style.

After serving his sentence, Baldwin applied for a job at OMNI, but the suits confused his unusual floorplans for diagrams of summoning circles. Robert was hired on the spot, but it was only during his second week of basic training did he realize that he may not have gotten the job he was looking for...

OMNITECH Black Jumpsuit
     The standard OMNITECH jumpsuit. Covers everything but the head, hands, and feet. Stain resistant, waterproof, breathable, light, and overall comfortable as everyday wear. Offers no protection against anything more dangerous than a spilled cup of coffee.  Has the employee’s name stenciled on the back like a sports jersey.  This one is Black and has a smaller “OCCULT” stenciled across the right side of the chest, just under the collar bone.
OMNITECH Generic Personal Sidearm (d4 ranged attack) x3 Magazines (d4 use die)
     One of the “Generic” brand of OMNITECH weapons which are ubiquitous in OMNITECH installations. The Generic Personal Sidearm is a handgun as drawn by a 9 year old; A gray rectangle with a gray rectangle grip and a trigger that looks more like a light switch with a trigger guard that looks like an allen wrench. It is uncomfortable, unappealing, and very clearly designed by the lowest bidder, but can effectively put .45 slugs into targets.
OMNITECH Universal Containment Pod x 5
    OMNITECH Containment pods resemble a clear tube held in between two large metal ends with long rods forming a cage and reinforcing structure around the tube.  One of the metal ends has an iris design to allow it to open and allow a sample in before clamping shut. Though the tubes look to be glass they are a multilayer reinforced acrylic that is remarkably strong and non-reactive.
OMNITECH Null-Rod
    The Null-rod is a collapsible rod made of the same non-reactive acrylic as the inner lining of the containment pods. Used by Cultists for the investigative prodding and poking of things that look dangerous.

Pretty sure it got destroyed with the other guy and RC has just been carrying it incorrectly.

Uggggghhhh I do not feel like reading through all this right now.  Tech to d12 (I'm gonna swap it back to guns...), melee to d8.  No stats upgraded because robotic body.  Give Ji their waifubot, ask if Wil can use either the waifu body or the cyborg body (it's not like they can use both).  If neither's available, accept the 300.

Pay off loan of 303 OMNI.  1147 left.  See if I can take out a loan of 853; I've asked for 540 before, and paid off two debts on time, so my credit score might be good enough?  If not, just ask for 453.  1600 or 2000 left.  Buy a hardsuit, -1600.  And a brain scanny thingy for 400 if I got the big loan.  Body depends on whether Ji pays me 300 or loans a body.

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Wilfred Seven
Physical Description: He looks identical to Wil Wheaton.  That's because he's an identical clone of Wil Wheaton; he actually can't even shave, or even change his hair or anything, it always grows back to the default form within a day.  Scarrification might let Wilfred change his appearance, but he's not really up for that.
"Heavily damaged and patched up fox girl robot with an organic foot as a right arm, and organic arms as feet."
Background: He was batch manufactured along with nine other Wheaton clones, for use in some film that he's never heard of and was never involved with; only the three "best" clones were actually selected for use in the film, while the other seven--really, the other four, Wil Three survived less than a week--were sold to OMNITECH as cheap labor.  Somehow, OMNITECH decided to hire Seven, rather than just enslave him, although he's not really sure what the difference is.  Notably, Wilfred's flaw that disqualified him from being selected is that his mind is nothing like the famous actor, and he actually hates being compared to the man.

Instead of getting him karate lessons or into sports, they got him the most state-of-the-art simulation entertainment system money could buy. He got good at what he did. By the time he was 10, he was the number one Waifu Assassins Guild IX player in the world. However, once he got old enough, it was time to get a job. And since he’s literally good for nothing else, and he fancies himself a killer, he decided to join the Omni-tech security crew.

"I am ready to proceed."

Use spray paint to name the APC "OMNITECH Tour Bus" and decorate it with vacation scenes: a sunset with tropical trees, sunbathing, drinking... EDIT: Wait, that would be out of character for Pathos. Let's have him paint a giant robot shooting a nuke and Bob sunbathing in the glow of the nuclear mushroom, wearing sunglasses and holding a cocktail glass with a fish and a little umbrella in it. That's what vacations are all about, right?

 

Spoiler: Pathos: Senior Tech Officer (click to show/hide)

Name: Pathos
Physical Description: About 3 meters tall, though often looks shorter because it tends to be hunched over.  Its head is triangular, lacking any recognizable details like eyes or mouth, and instead looks almost avian. One point of the triangle is elongaged, forming the front of the "face", while the others are pulled back, forcing a sort of curve into the bottom leg of the triangle that gives it a sort of horned appearance. The horns wrap back around to form a ring about a foot and a half across. Inside this ring floats a black sphere which seems to be slowly and constantly pulsing. The triangle is segmented, with thin groves running back up along its length and giving it a sort of chitinous appearance, like the shell of a woodlouse. Its body is roughly humanoid though its proportions and geometry is distinctly alien: not only looking nothing like a human but nothing like what a human would create.  It has a thin, fiberous neck, a huge hunched back and shoulders, a pelvis that twists forward at an almost painful angle, and long arms and legs, both of which have an extra joint to them. Its shoulders look almost like nautilus shells, a row of thin needle sharp spines runs down its neck and back, apparently along its spine, and it seems to have no palms to its hands nor thumbs, just a series of 8 fingers that connect to a wrist joint.  It looks, all and all, much more like something they dug out of an alien tomb than something any engineer would have made. It has a faint blue glow emanating from its groves and crevices, as though the black armor was simply containing some radiant being within.
Background: Delusions of grandeur. Took this job as a way to rapidly advance the ranks and see cool things. And because it would give him plenty of opportunities to set things on fire without his superiors being close enough to yell at him. Lost his original body in a freak shuttle accident. Was a spiderbot for a while.

"It has emergency floatation pontoons but isn't designed for true amphibious work. Its engine is Nuclear though, so it doesn't really have exhaust to fill with water or the issues of an internal combustion engine."

"I am ready to proceed."

Use spray paint to name the APC "OMNITECH Tour Bus" and decorate it with vacation scenes: a sunset with tropical trees, sunbathing, drinking... EDIT: Wait, that would be out of character for Pathos. Let's have him paint a giant robot shooting a nuke and Bob sunbathing in the glow of the nuclear mushroom, wearing sunglasses and holding a cocktail glass with a fish and a little umbrella in it. That's what vacations are all about, right?

 

Spoiler: Pathos: Senior Tech Officer (click to show/hide)

Name: Pathos
Physical Description: About 3 meters tall, though often looks shorter because it tends to be hunched over.  Its head is triangular, lacking any recognizable details like eyes or mouth, and instead looks almost avian. One point of the triangle is elongaged, forming the front of the "face", while the others are pulled back, forcing a sort of curve into the bottom leg of the triangle that gives it a sort of horned appearance. The horns wrap back around to form a ring about a foot and a half across. Inside this ring floats a black sphere which seems to be slowly and constantly pulsing. The triangle is segmented, with thin groves running back up along its length and giving it a sort of chitinous appearance, like the shell of a woodlouse. Its body is roughly humanoid though its proportions and geometry is distinctly alien: not only looking nothing like a human but nothing like what a human would create.  It has a thin, fiberous neck, a huge hunched back and shoulders, a pelvis that twists forward at an almost painful angle, and long arms and legs, both of which have an extra joint to them. Its shoulders look almost like nautilus shells, a row of thin needle sharp spines runs down its neck and back, apparently along its spine, and it seems to have no palms to its hands nor thumbs, just a series of 8 fingers that connect to a wrist joint.  It looks, all and all, much more like something they dug out of an alien tomb than something any engineer would have made. It has a faint blue glow emanating from its groves and crevices, as though the black armor was simply containing some radiant being within.
Background: Delusions of grandeur. Took this job as a way to rapidly advance the ranks and see cool things. And because it would give him plenty of opportunities to set things on fire without his superiors being close enough to yell at him. Lost his original body in a freak shuttle accident. Was a spiderbot for a while.

It doesn't come out perfect, its a bit simple and cartoony, but its clear what the oversized mural is depicting.

Does the weirdness effect apply only to people who were in the zone during it's creation or can it spread to others say, by devouring the flesh of the original inhabitants?

Also, shift 1 flesh into speed

Name: Samantha "SAM" Endashale
Description: Sam used to be a research scientist at a prestigious biotech company until her distressing vigor for human experimentation got her fired. That, or perhaps the 3 graduate students that went missing under her tutelage. Regardless of the reason, she ended up finding work at OMNITECH. She chose a field position herself, and seems to be eagerly awaiting the chance to try....something....

She currently looks like she's about to tell a cripple with rage issues to commit felonies upon a vegetable

Get inside the EdMobile, pass the time while non-flesh horrors are getting ready by trying to make teeth even sharper for extra damage. Put on the show Ji just paid for in one of those little screens they have to watch along the trip.

Also, shift one level of dex to speed.

Yeah, buy a basic robotbody with the money Ji gives Wil.

Ask if we're still getting paid for this "Vacation".

Ask if crew can fire the tanktrain's guns.  Our AI pilot is shit with guns.

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Wilfred Seven
Physical Description: He looks identical to Wil Wheaton.  That's because he's an identical clone of Wil Wheaton; he actually can't even shave, or even change his hair or anything, it always grows back to the default form within a day.  Scarrification might let Wilfred change his appearance, but he's not really up for that.
Plain robotic body inside a Hardsuit.
Background: He was batch manufactured along with nine other Wheaton clones, for use in some film that he's never heard of and was never involved with; only the three "best" clones were actually selected for use in the film, while the other seven--really, the other four, Wil Three survived less than a week--were sold to OMNITECH as cheap labor.  Somehow, OMNITECH decided to hire Seven, rather than just enslave him, although he's not really sure what the difference is.  Notably, Wilfred's flaw that disqualified him from being selected is that his mind is nothing like the famous actor, and he actually hates being compared to the man.

1. Lets do 130.

1) Don't you mean [100/2]+30=80? Since it can't be more than starting price (which is 100)?

Looks ok, but shove those bases outside the yellow zone. They're on the edge, not inside. Or don't and just understand that.

2) Does this look better:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

3) Do we have DNA samples of any of those employees? Maybe from a government biometrics database or something?

4) Can we get access to up-to-date satellite imagery?

5) Can we hack the unmanned drones of the tv networks, or would that open up OMNI to too much 'legal liability'?

6) Can we use/order around that shuttle after it sets us off? Or is it for extraction only?

Depends. Food, medicine, weapons, ammo are all universally useful and good trade. Leaders might have more specific desires, but that is something you'll have to find out.

7) Can we get some basic foodstuffs and meds for trading, or do we need to buy that ourselves?

8) How would you like to handle the items of dead peeps, should we keep doing it the way we did the previous mission, or would you like us to handle that some other way?

1. Biorhythm tracker: Allows the tracking of a single target. Their outline will appear on the user's vision from any distance, through any material. Tracking can be initiated with line of sight OR DNA sampling.
2. Autonomous targeting system: Allows for a second weapon to be fired as a secondary attack even after firing the standard single attack. Weapon must be held in the other hand and uses suit parameters instead of user skill. Light weapons use dex, heavy use strength.
3. Ammunition Transmutation forge: Shoebox sized device that allows ammunition of one kind to be transmuted into a different kind of ammo. Not one to one, requires equal or greater monetary value of the input to get the output. Ie a 20 omni bullet would require the sacrifice of at least 20 omni worth of other ammo to make.
4. Weakness Analysis protocols: Automatically detects and displays the structural or biological weaknesses of any targeted enemy.
5. Pulse Laser: Infinite use military grade laser fired from the point of the "Beak". Deals d12 but requires d6 turns to recharge after every use.
6. Micromissile Pack: Built into the hunched back, fires salvos of micromissiles that deal d6xd6 damage. Has a d4 use die. Guided via laser targeting using Gun skill.
7. OMNITECH ferromagnetic accelerator: Standard version of the system but built into the hands. Pick up metal objects and fire them. Damage dependent on object.
8. Wrist Mounted Shotguns: Same damage as "PUNCH!" shotgun. current use die: d6/d6
9. Palm mounted Carbines: Same as Pinpoint Carbine. current use die: d6/d6

Pretty sure it got destroyed with the other guy and RC has just been carrying it incorrectly.

Ah, sorry, it was a bit unclear which items were or were not pulped.

I’ll take the hell symbiote, unless EEEDD wants it. Everyone seems to be jacked as hell, so I don’t think I’ll be able to survive unless I jack myself up too.

EDIT: Actually, I’ll take the Fancy AirPods as well

Fancy airpods for the occult boy! sorry 'bout the symbiote, you'll have to summon one yourself.


Oh, and I'll take one set of containment pods and 3 flares from that pile if nobody else wants them, might come in handy.


"So, Ed boy, I see you got yourself a shiny new body? How does it feel to be a taxi?"

[Parisbre56]

"Tour bus!" Pathos corrects Yagyu while admiring his handiwork.

[Pancaek]

"So, Ed boy, I see you got yourself a shiny new body? How does it feel to be a taxi?"

"Feels pretty good, honestly. All the extra armour and cannons give me a nice peace of mind, for now."

"Tour bus!" Pathos corrects Yagyu while admiring his handiwork.

"Hey, mister roboto, I know you're a big deal and all now but I'd really appreciate if you could refrain from vandalizing my body."

[King Zultan]

If we find any artifacts do we get to keep them?
Is there anything to stop us from killing everybody we meet?
Are we allowed to get pets from this place and bring them back?
