EEEDD waits a moment, letting the effect of being spoken to by a divine being sink in. ”Well? ED hath spoken, merchants. We have need of your sleeping pills."

You heard the divine voice, gimme the sleepy drugs. I’ll continue to follow ED’s will with whatever he wants me to do with them.

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.

Details about the most wholesome, innocuous religion OMNICORP's ever seen!
High Priest: EEEDD
Congregation: CharliED

THE SCRIPTURES OF ED:

1. HARM YE NOT THOSE WHICH HAVE THE SACRED NAME
2. THE SACRED NAME IS ED, COMPRISED OF AN INFINITUDE OF BOTH E AND D
3. TO ATTAIN SACRED STATUS ONE MAY APPEND MORE LETTERS TO THEIR NAME, PROVIDED THOSE LETTERS ARE E AND D IN EQUAL PROPORTION. SACRED DEEDS ARE REQUIRED TO ADVANCE THE HOLINESS OF ONE'S NAME
4. THY TASK IS TO HEAL ALL THOSE LACKING THE SACRED NAME, AND IN DOING SO CHANGE THEIR FORMS OF ADDRESS PART BY PART INTO THE SACRED NAME
5. NEVER BETRAY ANOTHER ED FOR YOU ARE BOTH MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SACRED NAME, WHICH LOVES ITSELF
6. THE HIGHEST OF CALLINGS IS WORKING TO ADVANCE THE MANIFESTATION OF THE PRIME ED, WHETHER BY SHAPING OTHERS INTO VESSELS FOR THE SACRED NAME OR BY DIVINING THE WAYS THAT THE FABRIC OF REALITY MAY BE MADE TO WELCOME THE TRUTH OF ED
7. THE NAME WV AND ALL VARIATIONS THEREOF, BEING THE ANTITHESIS OF ED, IS THE ENEMY. DESTROY IT WHEREVER IT IS FOUND

Any bet may be placed, doesn't have to be OMNI, along with a time when you think it's gonna happen by. If that time passes without a STAN incident, you either forfeit your bet to the pool or can choose another time, but you have to put in another bet on top of your original one - again, can be anything.

Get unstuck if possible, maybe an enterprising teammate will help out.

If possible, collect the stuff of Burt so he can get it back later, but only if safe to do so.

Then, see if we can stuff the flyer into EdPC without breaking it, if not attach it to the roof and put a tarp or whatever over it.

Finally, ask EdPC to head off to the bizarre, tell people over the radio that we're regrouping there. Maybe try to pass by teammates and/or gators on the way there to pick them up, if they want to of course.

-auditor-
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 (2d10 close, 2d6 medium, 2d4 long). current use die: d6/d6
9. Palm mounted Carbines: Same as Pinpoint Carbine. current use die: d6/d6

Spoiler: Edward (click to show/hide)

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: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Wilfred Seven
Physical Description: An exaggerated eight-foot tall linebacker-shaped machine constructed out of slabs of white metallo-ceramic armor, laid atop a barely visible metallic undercarriage.  Its legs are stumpy compared to its arms, with a bulbous body due to the double rocket jump pack embedded between its shoulders.

Inside, he's a plain robotic body.
Background: He was batch manufactured along with nine other Wil 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 six, 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.

[2] A dick you are, and a dick you remain.

Sam scrambles over to the ruins, slurps up whats left of Burt, and then vomits out the non-edible stuff in the EdPC. The EdPC complains about this, but Sam simply points at herself to indicate that the EdPC is, in fact, a dick head.

Look around for any other injured guests, preferably someone who is unconcious and alone with no one paying attention to him. Sneak back into the bar if I have to. Steal their anomly detecting watch.

Then GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE and try to run back to the EDPC, wherever it is. I'm sure my team's got tracking devices or something. Some useful tool to help me find them.

Spoiler: Baldwin (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.
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.

OMNITECH EMP grenade (d20 damage, only effects electronics. Single use)

Gentleman's Pipe
    This isn't a pipe. This is a text-based description of a pipe. And also a pipe.
Octarine Tobacco
   An ancient plant from 200 years ago. Used to be all the rage among people with "alternative" lifestyles, but it fell out of style once corporations began selling it legally. Turns out that once the man was in on it, nobody wanted to buy it anymore. By now it would be extinct if it weren't for the single potted plant in Baldwin's room. In the end, Baldwin was a sellout.
Idea Tube
   An old treasure from a past life. Even back then everything was done in CAD, but Baldwin always wanted to stand out. He drew his designs by hand and would store them here for safe keeping along with spare paper and writing tools. This created a tempting prize for any aspiring paparazzi, which lead to him being frequently covered in various magazines. He owes his career to those guys.

In the chaos of the bar fight Baldwin army crawls back in, ducks under a table, and scouts around for a potential target. His scouting ends with a man falls heavily onto the table he's on and rolls off, flopping to the ground inches from Baldwin's nose.  Baldwin looks back and forth before partially dragging the unconscious man under the table and relieving him of not only the watch but his wallet and a crumpled wad of paper. That done he vaults back outside through the already broken window and sprints off into the darkness.

A few minutes and some radio instructions later and he manages to reconnect with the EdPC.

Bob will continue ot play with his balls.

It did! Remember the CC is constantly copying and updating. Its destruction simply means the last updated version is the one that is used. Meaning you probably don't remember exactly how you died, but likely you will remember the minutes leading up to it.

As per where you are, we have two options. The first is the OMNITECH Omniscient network. Safe, but in order to get you back out here someone will need to get access and grab you. The second option is that we can load you straight into the EdPC's onboard computer. Less safe because destruction of the EdPC means death but it also means we could, theoretically, dump you straight into push bot.

Spoiler: Congregation of ED (click to show/hide)

Details about the most wholesome, innocuous religion OMNICORP's ever seen!
High Priest: EEEDD
Congregation: CharliED

THE SCRIPTURES OF ED:

1. HARM YE NOT THOSE WHICH HAVE THE SACRED NAME
2. THE SACRED NAME IS ED, COMPRISED OF AN INFINITUDE OF BOTH E AND D
3. TO ATTAIN SACRED STATUS ONE MAY APPEND MORE LETTERS TO THEIR NAME, PROVIDED THOSE LETTERS ARE E AND D IN EQUAL PROPORTION. SACRED DEEDS ARE REQUIRED TO ADVANCE THE HOLINESS OF ONE'S NAME
4. THY TASK IS TO HEAL ALL THOSE LACKING THE SACRED NAME, AND IN DOING SO CHANGE THEIR FORMS OF ADDRESS PART BY PART INTO THE SACRED NAME
5. NEVER BETRAY ANOTHER ED FOR YOU ARE BOTH MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SACRED NAME, WHICH LOVES ITSELF
6. THE HIGHEST OF CALLINGS IS WORKING TO ADVANCE THE MANIFESTATION OF THE PRIME ED, WHETHER BY SHAPING OTHERS INTO VESSELS FOR THE SACRED NAME OR BY DIVINING THE WAYS THAT THE FABRIC OF REALITY MAY BE MADE TO WELCOME THE TRUTH OF ED
7. THE NAME WV AND ALL VARIATIONS THEREOF, BEING THE ANTITHESIS OF ED, IS THE ENEMY. DESTROY IT WHEREVER IT IS FOUND

For people who've chosen to bet on when Sam will destroy her own mind and turn into an uncontrollable gribbly flesh horror that needs to be put down. Any bet may be placed, doesn't have to be OMNI, along with a time when you think it's gonna happen by. If that time passes without a STAN incident, you either forfeit your bet to the pool or can choose another time, but you have to put in another bet on top of your original one - again, can be anything. Whoever's guess lands closest to the inevitable STANification wins the pot.

- Used Jehovah's Witness level social repellence powers to cause most of a military base to retreat from his presence
- Recruited [1] desperate Detroitee into the cult of ED
- Spoke with ED's voice in the Bizarre - ED requested sleeping pills

A surprising number of people donate pills to EEEDD. Not everyone, some people just slink away from this magic madman, but others seem to believe. At least to some degree.  He ends up with a big bottle (d10 use die) of sleeping pills. [12] He considers what ED could want with these...and then considers something else. He's not sure why he considers it. He's not sure what it means. But he thinks these are protection of a sort.

Al follows the others staying relatively quiet but still keeping an eye on his comrades so if they do something stupid and injure themselves he can intervene and assist to provide medical assistance . In the meantime he whistles a jaunty tune to a shanty his grandpappy used to sing.

Money: Broke AF

Al looks at the red smear that used to be Burt and considers, for a moment, giving it CPR.  Then Sam comes by and hoovers it up, debris and all. He sniffs, shrugs, and wanders back to the EdPC while whistling a tune.  Someone will hurt themselves in a way that he can help with. Sooner or later.

Get unstuck if possible, maybe an enterprising teammate will help out.

If possible, collect the stuff of Burt so he can get it back later, but only if safe to do so.

Then, see if we can stuff the flyer into EdPC without breaking it, if not attach it to the roof and put a tarp or whatever over it.

Finally, ask EdPC to head off to the bizarre, tell people over the radio that we're regrouping there. Maybe try to pass by teammates and/or gators on the way there to pick them up, if they want to of course.

-auditor-
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 (2d10 close, 2d6 medium, 2d4 long). current use die: d6/d6
9. Palm mounted Carbines: Same as Pinpoint Carbine. current use die: d6/d6

Yagyu brute forces his way out of the rubble and heads back to the flyer.  It would be possible to fit it into the EdPC, but there wouldn't really be any room for any people inside.  Instead Yagyu has the machine fold itself back into its "storage" mode and slips it back into the large plastic box it came in. With help he gets it lifted up onto the roof of the EdPC and then ties it down before covering it in a painter's tarp he manages to find in a nearby home.

Well.  Not the loot I wanted, but it's look.  Skim over and grab the drone stuck in a tree, and appropriate it for my own use.  Then start skimming towards the Bizarre.

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Wilfred Seven
Physical Description: An exaggerated eight-foot tall linebacker-shaped machine constructed out of slabs of white metallo-ceramic armor, laid atop a barely visible metallic undercarriage.  Its legs are stumpy compared to its arms, with a bulbous body due to the double rocket jump pack embedded between its shoulders.

Inside, he's a plain robotic body.
Background: He was batch manufactured along with nine other Wil 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 six, 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.

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.

Wilfred skims over and grabs  the drone before heading back. He meets up with the EdPC, already in route to the Bizarre and the two of them head there together. They take a longer route, circling towards the west before rounding back to the east and moving towards the main gate of the complex instead of along its outer fence. The convoy the EdPC is monitoring turns as well, heading east towards the remains of the glider instead of towards the cul-de-sac where the cargo landed.  Its a group of Smiles in modified cars. Mostly trucks, plated with scrap metal, mounted guns on a swivel in the back. They're painted all red other than a yellow smiley face somewhere on them. Dozens of men all riding in or on top of the trucks, all armed.


The Bizarre main entrance hold a large neon sign that has been welded onto an existing gate and arch: its very clearly made up of several other signs, all partially torn apart and then frankenstiened back together into this one. There's what amounts to a checkpoint at that gate; armed guards and concrete barriers blocking the way.  They tell Yagyu and the others that no guns are allowed within the Bizarre, so if anyone wants to go in they'll have to dismount and either leave their guns in the EdPC or with the guards.

[Radio Controlled]

Outside the bizarre, while broadcasting over the private radio channel of the team so anyone not there yet can still follow, Yagyu adresses his teammates (while standing far enough away from other onlookers so they aren't privy to the impromptu meeting).

"Alright them ladies, listen up. We have a ton of leads to follow up on and I'm not planing on spending my retirement here, so right now I'd like to see if there are any volunteers to go deal with the imprisoned egghead we want to interrogate. I want something between three to five or so people. Your job will be to find that guy, Ernest Bythe Saffron I believe it was, and interview him one way or another to learn more about how this whole mess started. If you would like to follow up on that tell me and we'll get things organized and I'll give you some more info. Note that the nature of this mission will probably call for subterfuge and subtlety more than firepower or ten meters of armored codpiece, but feel free to volunteer either way if you're interested.

The rest of us will go and investigate that airport, see what that is all about. Either way, we are moving out soonish once the teams are sorted so if you have things to buy here then hop to it!"


((For Burt, maybe we could stuff him into one of the corpo drones? Or maybe that flier we just looted? Then again we might want to sell the flier. We could also see if we can buy something at this bazaar with the megabucks he had on hand.))

Yes! I think I got a perfect roll on that. I assume I'm in the EDPC now.

Safely inside the vehicle, examine my loot. Read the paper, count the money in the wallet, etc.

Also ask Piecewise to write a description for the prospector's watch I can copy and paste into my character sheet. I want to know about this thing's features!


As Baldwin counts the money in his hands, he decides to offer his own opinions on the mission.

"Well the way I see it, money is power. I think our plan should be to go to the Langford Nature area, loot a bunch of artifacts, sell those things for mad bucks, and just buy the right to speak to our man. I mean, we don't actually need to free him, all we want is an interview. I'm sure we can get that without making an enemy out of these Smiles"

Truly a capitalist at heart...

Spoiler: Baldwin (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...

Inventory:
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.
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.

Gentleman's Pipe
    This isn't a pipe. This is a text-based description of a pipe. And also a pipe.
Octarine Tobacco
   An ancient plant from 200 years ago. Used to be all the rage among people with "alternative" lifestyles, but it fell out of style once corporations began selling it legally. Turns out that once the man was in on it, nobody wanted to buy it anymore. By now it would be extinct if it weren't for the single potted plant in Baldwin's room. In the end, Baldwin was a sellout.
Idea Tube
   An old treasure from a past life. Even back then everything was done in CAD, but Baldwin always wanted to stand out. He drew his designs by hand and would store them here for safe keeping along with spare paper and writing tools. This created a tempting prize for any aspiring paparazzi, which lead to him being frequently covered in various magazines. He owes his career to those guys.

"The team on nerd interrogation duty will be free to fulfill their objective as they see fit, I suppose that's one way to do it. Though note that our guide hinted they might simply not be up for such offers, and also to stay away from that area because it's quite dangerous."

SAM will use hand signs to gesture she'd be up for interrogating the egghead, oh, and she'll also try to turn into an H.R Giger wet dream creature once again.

No eating our target, no making needless enemies or calling down unholy bullshit, no intentionally messing up the job. Cause if I hear you went full Akira downtown and we have to come deal with it, we will deal with it rather permanently. Capiche? You can, euh, wobble if you understand."

Finally, Burt had 12,300 megabucks on him, could we buy some sort of body for him with that here at the bizarre? Or maybe a vehicle he could be uploaded to?

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 (2d10 close, 2d6 medium, 2d4 long). current use die: d6/d6
9. Palm mounted Carbines: Same as Pinpoint Carbine. current use die: d6/d6

SAM wobbles, a very disturbing sight on account of her current look, she won't eat anyone unless they ask or do something that'd make them get eaten like trying to purge her or something.

"Well the way I see it, money is power. I think our plan should be to go to the Langford Nature area, loot a bunch of artifacts, sell those things for mad bucks, and just buy the right to speak to our man. I mean, we don't actually need to free him, all we want is an interview. I'm sure we can get that without making an enemy out of these Smiles"

"The team on nerd interrogation duty will be free to fulfill their objective as they see fit, I suppose that's one way to do it. Though note that our guide hinted they might simply not be up for such offers, and also to stay away from that area because it's quite dangerous."

"Well, if cash won't work. Then how about barter? It seems like these guys value glider loot just as much as we do, based on their willingness to send convoys to hunt it down. I'm pretty sure that when they find something as complicated as our dragonfly, they send it to one of their nerds to have it studied and turned into something of value.

"I'd offer them our dragonfly, but sadly they don't trust us."

Bladwin takes out his pipe and grins, while looking at Wilfred.

"But what if they happen to find an 8-foot tall armored hardsuit in the NEXT piece of glider wreckage? Perhaps one that refuses to turn on or open its cockpit..."

Baldwin knocks on the hardsuit's chest a couple of times for effect. Loud metallic clangs resonate throughout the room.

"I hear that our man is the guy for that. When said guy tries to fix the thing, he'll discover the cause of the shutdown to be a stubborn AI implanted in the suit named Burt. Maybe they will have a better chance at negotiating a deal...

Even if it happens to be at gunpoint."

2)(The scientist in question is named Ernest Bythe Saffron. PHD in mechanical and electrical engineering) He says that Saffron is an important person to the Smiles, and they'll likely guard him jealously. They'd be worried you were there to kidnap, assassinate, collude with, or steal secrets from him. Other gangs would be all to happy to kill the Smile's lead mecha-man and cripple their efforts. The major issues would be first to convince them you're worth the risk, and second to convince them you aren't a risk.  Even if you can present an airtight proposal as to how you could talk to him without danger, they'd likely just say no because, well, why take the risk?  Thus, in his opinion, your actual best way to handle this would be via secrecy. Don't tell the Smiles. Talk to Saffron covertly.

SpiderBob will explore the golf course looking for machinery in need of maintenance and/or repair, while Bob continues his soak. Neither is aware of the need to reconvene with teammates, so this may be where Bob is at the end of the mission, assuming a snap doesn't take him.

Since Bob was swept up by the straggler hunters, he'll waddle past the armed guards, chuck his tail gun at tehir collection point, and greet the Bizarre's patrons and their snacks.

"Alright them ladies, listen up. We have a ton of leads to follow up on and I'm not planing on spending my retirement here, so right now I'd like to see if there are any volunteers to go deal with the imprisoned egghead we want to interrogate. I want something between three to five or so people. Your job will be to find that guy, Ernest Bythe Saffron I believe it was, and interview him one way or another to learn more about how this whole mess started. If you would like to follow up on that tell me and we'll get things organized and I'll give you some more info. Note that the nature of this mission will probably call for subterfuge and subtlety more than firepower or ten meters of armored codpiece, but feel free to volunteer either way if you're interested.

The rest of us will go and investigate that airport, see what that is all about. Either way, we are moving out soonish once the teams are sorted so if you have things to buy here then hop to it!"

"ey boss, I'll go with the egghead team if needed."

Name: Anya Sokolova
Physical Description: Wiry, roughly 6'4/193 cm tall, Anya cuts a striking figure compared to the diminutive height of most women at OMNITECH. Her nearly shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes merely amplifies that affect
Background: born in some rural shithole in Novosibirsk, Anya worked on her parents farm, mainly fixing up their only tractor. She decided to join the Russian engineer troops to make something of herself. One... eventful career later, and she decided it be better to go to OMNITECH than the Hague. Sometimes she wonders if that was the right choice.
