"I'll go with the interrogation team. I can hack, for now, and kill most things. If you're heading to the airport, we'll have a good balance of heavily armored and armed murderbots."

Wilfred doesn't physically respond when Baldwin knocks on his hardsuit. But oh boy does he verbally respond! "I don't know what you're talking about, but like fucking hell I'm leaving my hardsuit as bait, in this horrible place! You try anything, and I'll personally make sure a dead elder god eats your filthy little cultist balls!"

Fiddle with the corpo observation drone. Can Wilfred hack it into being his own personal scout eye? Preferably without it immediately smashing into a thousand pieces on the nearest rock.

Baldwin frowns and takes his pipe out of his mouth.

"Fine, have it your way. Some of us here don't have the privilege of being encased in a walking tank, yet we risk our lives on these missions anyway. It would have done you some good to take one for the team. I'm sure you'd have received a bonus from HQ if you did."

Baldwin silently thinks to himself: It's not like you would have lost the suit forever. That thing is valuable. We wouldn't have tried anything if we couldn't figure out a way of extracting it afterwards. And Burt too... I guess...

*sigh*

"Regardless of the opinions of a certain yellow coward, I still think some form of Trojan horse would be our best bet at getting to what's-his-name... We could probably put Burt into the dragonfly, but unlike with the hardsuit, we won't know for sure if they'll send it to the right person. What's-his-name may be their mech guy, but they might have another guy named Who's-it who deals with flying crap."

Baldwin pauses and thinks for a moment, before showing a look of frustration.

"We could keep crashing gliders in hopes of finding a mech in the wreckage, and then putting Burt into that... but do you guys have any better ideas?"

((Seems like Baldwin is sort of becoming a corporate douche. I guess bingeing Mad Men has played a part in that. He may say mean things, but it's just RP so far. I'll tone it down if people start to get bothered))

"Eh, we could use the flier to scout. It should be near silent and fairly hard to see at night. Failing that, we've got all these fucking drones everywhere, we can just hack those for more sky eyes. Finding the dude might be as simple as snapping some fingers, fuck Derp. Or maybe I could get some ghosts to rip the knowledge out of someone. I'm definitely not giving anyone my hardsuit though! I died two fucking times to get this thing, and I don't intend on dying a third!"

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.

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

OMNITECH Placed charge (Demo pack, with remote, 3d10 damage, single use)

Fancy Airpods

OMNITECH Reactive fabric cape (1d6 life)

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.

Good OMNITECH fishing rod

Some guy's wallet

Some guy's crumpled piece of paper.

A prospector's watch
Write a description for this piecewise!

Money: -500

Baldwin shucks the wallet of its payload and counts it out. 247 Megabucks. Not terrible.

He unfolds the wad of paper. It is badly crumpled and appears bloodstained. Or maybe oil? Hard to say. It reads:

Code: [Select]

PLYMOUTH AND OUTER DRIVE, NORTH WEST.
IN THE OLD DIESEL GATE.
ENGINE HEART.

The watch, as some of your teammates found out, is basically an anomaly detector. In its default mode it will point to the nearest anomaly and categorize it on a simple "Power" scale. It has a display and menu you can search through to access the specific sensors within it. These sensors include temperature sensor, atmospheric pressure sensor, oxygen level indicator, broad range toxin detectors, Gravity sensor, temporal stability sensor, radiation detector, and something called an "impossible spectrum analyzer". Its all pretty complex so it will need a tech roll to do anything other than use it normally. Yours is a bright orange yellow square of metal with a tiny screen and a rubbery wrist strap.

-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 searches the bizarre for things that would work well with his launcher. The best thing he ends up finding is a man selling mechanical scrap. Much of it is ferromagnentic and a billiard ball sized metal ball bearing or 60 lb metal gear is relatively cheap and relatively deadly.

Finally he looks for a body for the recently deceased Burt. He can't find anything really usable as one, but does get word that some of the factories in the area used robots, so there are some around.

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.

You can indeed talk to anyone in or around the EdPC, much like Ed can.

The CC is technically not single use, but yours got smashed along with your head so...in your case it is.

"CharliED, my boy, I have had a revelation! These pills will protect us, and the most pressing danger these peoples live under - aside from the spiritual catastrophe of not knowing ED and having misaligned vertebrae - is the anomaly afflicting this fine city. It is clearly ED's intention for us to resolve this crisis! Either that or use the source of the aberration to summon His true form into this fragile reality, but we'll figure that out once we get there."

Pocket the BlessED sleeping pills and attempt to capitalize on the credibility performing a miracle may have given me to try to attain more converts. The Congregation must grow, and we have spiritual insurance on our side!

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.

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

EEEDD walks to the central water feature, stepping over Bob as the big lizard slides into it, and begins preaching to the masses. A fair number just walk past and ignore him but within a few minutes he has 4 people who are listening to him intently.

1) Sell 3x generic side arm (3*500), the earbuds, jumpsuits and mug (13 bucks). Then buy 2 anomaly watches with that (1200). Put the spare 313 bucks back into the team fund again. The other team (team nerdsnatch?) already has 2 people with such watches so keep both on our team for now (team ghostplane?).

2) Also, if there are still people that don't have a radio, buy a simple send&receive radio using teamfund (sell another set of side arms if needed) if they ask for one.

3) Try to offer the ammo conversion service and/or the good booze in return for some of the metal scrap ammo.

4) Give all relevant info we have to the nerd interrogation team.

5) Then gather stragglers&gators (unless they object), board EdPC and off we go!

Action for EdPC: at the end of the turn, after people are done with their crap, plot a course for the spoopy airfield and off we go! Try to avoid hazards or convoys and such, work together with our guide for this.

((If I see it right we have the following volunteers for the nerd interrogation:
agn - Sam
heydude - Baldwin
m18 - Anya
syv - Wil

Seems enough to get started, if other people still wanna do this you can still sign up, but be fast!))

"Excellent, we should have enough volunteers then.

Now, to reiterate, your primary objective is interviewing the former scientist regarding this anomalous zone and how it came to be, and relaying that info back to us. You are free to do this as you see fit. You can extract him if needed, or maybe sneak or bribe your way in, but do note that your secondary objective is to make sure that that gang won’t trace your activities back to us, or at least won't bother us. We’d rather not suffer reprisals down the line if we can.

EdPC is staying with us, as is the guide we hired, though of course feel free to ask questions to the latter to help you plan.

In terms of ‘budget’ you are getting this flier. Either use it as is for the operation or trade it away and use the funds for whatever other crap you need. Do note that either way these are returning to the team fund once you're done so don't just use it to buy toys for yourself.

For radio protocols, check in with us once every hour or so and then we’ll respond, if you miss this check in we’ll know something went awry and you need help. Also for this reason I reiterate the possibility of giving me a DNA sample of yourself or something you keep on your person for later tracking purposes. Notify us if you need support, but again note that ideally, you guys get in and out with the intel we need without them being any wiser. Also don't expect us to turn a 30 minute commute into a 30 second cavalry charge.

Wil, I believe you are the most senior member that volunteered so you'll nominally be in charge of your teammates and getting this job done. Think you can do that?

Any further questions?"

"Hey Sam, I found a note that's got directions to a shady meet-up spot. Wanna come with and possibly crack some skulls? We'll probably get some drug money, or possibly even drugs."

"Also, if anyone else wants to come, feel free to join."

~~Head off to the address in the note with my team, assuming I have one.~~

EDIT: Since nobody wants to join. New action.

Go window shopping. Look for camera drones, bodyguards, as well as artifacts. I'll decide if I'll make a purchase after I see the options and their prices. Also, check if there is a casino.

"Yeah yeah yeah, sounds fine to me. I can yell at people. Fuck Derp, last mission I made someone save a security team member's life! Now, which of you fools can fly the drone, and which of you can shoot the gun?"

I want to make the drone automated. No tech rolls for using it, ideally, because Wilfred will not have tech soon.

Can Wilfred ride in the Silverfish, while wearing his hardsuit? Or would he be too heavy? And what stat is used for flying it? Is it intuitive enough to control that it doesn't need rolls for simple stuff?

And the address Baldwin found. Is it in the direction of Smiles territory, or would it be leading off somewhere random?

Oh, Wilfred will see if he can grab some kind of living creature. A random lizard would do. For use with Yagyu's bio tracker thingy. Maybe grab Bob and toss him over a shoulder, he'd do fine.

((*syvarris looks at the post above his*))
((...))

Wilfred suddenly notices Baldwin waving around a dirty napkin containing a nebulous promise. "Hey, where the fuck are you running off to? We've got a mission!"
