"Pursuing a lead, my friend. Fate wouldn't have given us this clue if it weren't going to lead us somewhere useful. By the way, can we borrow your drone? It would be nice to have a means of indirectly observing the area. A way scouting it for thugs and other such ne'er-do-wells "

"...and so ED did speak to me in the voice of the Operator's Manual installed in my cerebellum, saying, "Ensure that the patient is weighed down by an assistant or other form of stabilizing weight in order to focus the adjustment entirely on the correct joint." Just as He did adjust my spiritual cognizance into the correct plane, so too shall we seek the center of these urban disturbances and correct it to channel ED's influence! Your lives will no longer be subject to random distortions, snaps, and blasphemies, if you but follow me, and bear the weight of the Sacred Name!"

Continue babbling procedurally-generated religious preaching and hopefully finalize the conversion of these four new folks. Then have them spread the word about our forming expedition into the center of Detroit, and promise future Church of ED friendliness if the merchants here aid our endeavor. Maybe see if we can't snag a deal on one of them anomaly watches, eh?

"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.

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.

Camera drones are fairly common, all of them obviously captured and reprogrammed. Most don't even bother to spray over the original markings and so the display racks are a cacophony of corporate colors. Bodyguards are slightly less common; there's no helpful recruiting station but it seems like almost anyone here would be willing and likely able if well compensated. Everyone, aside from the sellers, has that rough and tumble look to them. Very rugged, very potentially homicidal. Artifacts are where things get interesting. There doesn't seem to be a huge market for selling them to people, but there are signs advertising buying artifacts on almost every stall, complete with assurances of best prices. The artifacts that are being sold are generally displayed almost like jewelry: sparse, separated, boxed, and generally tightly guarded by the look of it. Some look like bits of random debris -rocks, bits of metal, polished glass- while others have a more unearthly appearance, like clouds trapped in plastic spheres or what looks like a snowflake the size of a man's hand, constantly shifting between frozen fractal shapes. The one that seems the most interesting is a toy laser gun which appears to have living tissue inside it, peeking out through clear colored plastic and screw holes. Its price is nearly a million megabucks.

"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!"

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.

1. Ok. It responds to instructions, though anything very complex and the drone itself will roll to understand. it rolls d6.
2. The weight limit in the guidebook indicates it can lift that much, theoretically, but his hardsuit would in no way fit in the cramped cockpit. It uses Tech for complex actions, but is user friendly enough to fly without rolls most of the time.
3. The address is a real place on the map. Its in the orange zone, near the intersection of the 96 and Telegraph. I've marked it on the interactive map. Heading off somewhere random.
4. Wilfred snatches up bob and tosses the very random lizard over his shoulder.

The armor being sold here seems to be of a more...medieval variety. Rather than Kevlar it seems to be more normal fabrics with plates of metal or ceramic sewn into them in strategic places. Actual Kevlar and other bullet resistant fabrics are around, but are more expensive. Any scraps appear to be used up in the creation of larger pieces instead of sold piecemeal. Metal and ceramic plates are, however, fairly common and can be had for a fraction of the price.

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.

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.

-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

1.Okie Dokie

((So I just looked at the Interactive Map. There's a lot of good info in there actually.

There are two things that stuck out to me:

1. The university Hospital (ie. the place where our guy is kept), is located next to river. Not directly adjacent to it, but pretty close.

2. The place for my sidequest is pretty far into the orange zone. It is something that can be done later.

As useful as this info is, it's now clear to me that we need more. It would be useful to know things like the layout of the hospital and where our guy is kept, as well as what the security of the Smile's is like deeper into the town. As well as along the river.

With this in mind, here is what I think our next step should be:

Operation: Mile-High Recon

Phase One will involve two us getting in the dragonfly and flying around central Anne Harbour to take in the sights. Our altitude should be high enough such that we will only look like a small dot in the sky. Key things to look out for will include military vehicles, guard patrols, large clusters of Smiles members, anti-air defenses (I don't expect them to have such a things since I expect aircraft to be a very rare occurrence here), training camps, and seemingly safe places to land that are near the hospital. I also have an interest in seeing their farms and how their society is run along the river. And the hospital obviously.

Phase two will involve hacking into their communications and other electronic data stuff. We need as much info as possible. That mean's we're going to need to bring a tech guy on board our flying machine. Do we have anybody like that? In a perfect scenario, we'd be able to hack into some device in the hospital and be able to communicate with our guy directly though that, but I doubt Piecewise will make it that easy. Be on the lookout for any gliders as well.

Now this isn't a complete plan, but hopefully after this we will have everything we need to come up with a proper one.))

Use occult to ponder whether the flesh zapper has any connection to H.E.L.L. Then ask the Artifact vendors about the kinds of people who usually buy such expensive trinkets. They wouldn't set the price so high if no one ever bought them. I want to find out more about them.

Afterwards, buy two parachutes, as well as a pair of high-powered binoculars (Or a high-powered sniper scope). Trade in my fancy airpods.

Actually, let me check if my team already has binoculars or an equivalent.

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 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.

OK.

Yes.

Sure.

The EdPC, with its cargo of well meaning looters heads off, traveling south until they hit the 94 and then out towards the Willow run Airport. The ride is, for the most part, quiet. The 94 traces the edge of the former city and at this point is far beyond the truly inhabited sections. The road is dark and abandoned, but for the most part in relatively good shape. There is one section where the EdPC has to detour off into the surface streets to bypass a collapsed overpass, but otherwise the drive is almost entirely uneventful. At one point there is the distinct plink of small arms fire against the armor but it ends before anyone can even realize what it was and never comes again.

Willow Run - according to the guide - was nearly abandoned even before the disaster; a relic of the second world war that had been swallowed up by the expanding cities and outshined by the new air and space ports. When the disaster happened it was servicing only a handful of freight aircraft and occasional private planes. That makes its current state all the stranger: As the EdPC arrives, coming up along the 12 and parking with a somewhat unrestricted view over the airport grounds, the darkness fades away. Lights slowly rise, growing brighter and brighter until the entire runway and buildings around it are lit up. The entire place, visible from a distance, has an odd haze over it, as though being viewed through a Vaseline blurred lens. It has an air of compete unreality, a double exposure with fresh tarmac and cracked overgrown concrete occupying the same space. Unbroken broken windows shine with utter darkness, abandoned buildings filled with the shadows of people. And then spotlights pierce the night, swinging wide and into the air. A plane is coming down, gliding in under its own power, shiny and rotten with rust all at the same time. The double exposure hurts to look at, cognitive dissonance crystalized. A wingless aluminum derelict glides down on shining wings and touches down softly. It rolls a bit and then, as it turns towards the gate to disembark passengers, the lights flash out. And now there is only darkness in that great expanse, a void which might -terrifyingly- contain anything.

You didn't cover this part of my action. You checked the gun's connection to H.E.L.L, but you didn't interview the merchant.

With no real plan and a lack of essential materials for recon, Baldwin chooses to remain in the EDPC and head with his team towards the airport. Surely he'll be able to find parachutes there! The Silverfish is still mounted on top of the vehicle anyway.

1. In response to the supernatural sight, Baldwin checks his watch for any info. Did it give off any anomalous readings prior to the plane's disappearance? If it didn't then perhaps this isn't an anomaly after all and may instead be honest to goodness ghosts! Surely an occult expert would be able to tell the difference (ie. roll occult to try to determine if these ghosts have any connection to H.E.L.L)

2. Also check the time and the moon phase. Maybe this plane appeared as a result of the clock striking midnight or something like that? Maybe it's a full moon?

3. Look around the area with my newly found binoculars.

Keep one of the wristwatches for now since nobody on our team asked for one yet. Use it, and the environment scanner, to try and get more information on what is going on there. Also try turning on the biorhythm tracker to see if it picks up on anything.
