Al follows Baldwin, keeping an eye on him after the tree stunt he pulled.

Scoop up some dirt and add it to the containment pod with the sapling I collected earlier. Reach out to the Tree Titan's soul again, but try to induce it to grow at a *controlled* rate this time. I need to practice this trick for when I arrive at the bizarre.

Forward that information to Yagyu.  Deciding what to do about it is beyond Wilfred's paygrade.

((This is ironic when you realize Wil is paid more than Yagyu.  :p  ))


"Think that's enough info, Yags?  Can I dismiss this creepy fuck yet?  Eh, I'll keep him around for now.  I'm gonna go hunting for a bit.  Hey, Richard!  Let's go find us some well armed tasties, sound fun?"

"That's some good intel. I think we got the most important stuff out of him. You could ask him if he knows about any more persons of interest we could stay on the lookout for, or see if he has any potential relevant places for us to investigate. If not, happy hunting."

((welcome back. When you left we were two turns from the end of a mission. Literally. two turns later, the words MISSION COMPLETE (nearly) end the turn.
The turn before that (and after you last posted) your character was described, quite fittingly, as "Fine. Somehow. Mostly just confused as to what is going on."

You don't need a story reason for not responding, since there was literally nothing left to respond to.

You might want to ask PW for pay for that mission though, in which case, you should detail your activities from that mission. There's a base pay rate and you get extra for doing story-centric or otherwise interesting things. Be a good idea to spend that before you generate with the team.

See the spoiler in my action posts for a reference guide to writing up your action reports. I'm sure you'll find it very useful.))

What about collecting my tree sample Piecewise? Rapidly growing firewood would probably fetch a pretty good price at the bizarre.

We can assume you gathered a few chunks as they hacked it off of you.

Gonna give you 1200 OMNI. Feel free to buy stuff from the arsenal before "Appearing". We'll assume you show up in the EdPC.

Sigh. Well, we'll handle that at the end.


Use the EdPC's wonderful tech to see if this robotics factory place has some kind of network. If so, see if I can't tap into it for cameras, security and/or info.


Spoiler: Edward (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: EdPC (click to show/hide)

Hmmm. The EdPC determines that there is some sort of transient network signal here. Encoded, fragmented, only able to be picked up in erratic bursts. Someone has a very bad router. He can't get into whatever system is running it: it never stays active for more than a few seconds at best.



"Well I guess it's time to go get that battery."
Have my shotgun at the ready while use my camera to peek inside the building, then if the building is clear hostiles I go and breach the doors of the building and secure whatever room is on the other side.

[15:42] Piecewise: Sure. Fuck the police.
[16:42] Radio Controlled: Allright then NWA.

"It would be easy to blame me for this. A lot of people died, a lot more are living miserable lives. I always expect that someone will decide that killing me will be a bit of justice. Maybe I just feel guilty."
"I see. Don't let the ignorant sins of the past cloud your future doc. What happened, happened. You're certainly making amends now.

Anyway, thank you for your time, we'll be on our way now. Good luck with your little community here, you guys have got a good thing going."


So yeah, we'll just say we went with the others to save some time since we seem to be done here.

Get out of the EdPC and stalk around the building a bit, using Biorhythm tracker and environment scanner to spot potential residents or anomalies or other things we'd want to know about.

If nothing pressing comes up, enter building and give it a sweep. If still unmolested, start looking for that battery.   



"Let's get what we need and skedaddle, time's-a-wasting and there's still plenty more work, uuh, holiday, to be done."


Spoiler: Yagyu d'Aubigny (click to show/hide)

Help Yag clear the area. If anything unfriendly presents itself, shoot it.
Spoiler: Ji (click to show/hide)


Burt, Yagyu, and Ji kick in the door to the factory and start moving in. The place is dark, as you'd expect for an abandoned windowless factory, but in pretty good shape. Its effectively one giant assembly plant by the look of it: conveyor belts, robotic arms, robotic freight movers, carefully piled boxes of components within arm's reach of the machines. Its two stories tall, at least this section is, with complex cranes and moving systems along the upper roof, along with circular catwalk and what looks like a foreman's office tucked into the far corner.  Its not rusted to hell nor scavenged of all its wears...hell there's barely any dust even. Its like the place has been hermetically sealed since everyone abandoned town. That...doesn't seem right.  Yagyu searches around with his biosensor and comes up with nothing. His scanner may be going haywire though: its catching signals from everywhere. Normally these scanners are calibrated so they ignore background noise: small random movements that are basically always present. Otherwise a wind blowing leaves would look like an armored battalion coming in.  But the scanner is doing exactly that. Hundreds of transient blips and signals. The visual for it looks almost like white noise its so dense and erratic. The anomaly scanner though, that one is giving off a very clear signal pointing towards the upper floor.

Bob chuffs a 'friendly' goodbye to the snackman before leaving the the EdPC and off to the robotics place.
While we're here, waddle in and attempt to construct a robotic crocodile as an apprentice.
Spoiler: Team Mascot (click to show/hide)
[6] Bob waddles into the factory completely oblivious to danger and starts slapping things with his tail, as  is his want.  Sadly there aren't a lot of premade alligator bodies around; the bodies on the conveyor belts and in the boxes are all human or humanoids. Not a single lizard among them. In order to make a croc companion, he's gonna need  either different parts or significant modifications. Or to accept a very distressing looking "Crocodile" made of human parts.



"As well when it ends well I guess
Word of warning Willy Wonka's origin story movie, I have no idea on how to drive this so fasten your seatbelt...wait we don't have those."



SAM will mane the Silverfish and look for SMILES to turn upside down


Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Forward that information to Yagyu.  Deciding what to do about it is beyond Wilfred's paygrade.

"Think that's enough info, Yags?  Can I dismiss this creepy fuck yet?  Eh, I'll keep him around for now.  I'm gonna go hunting for a bit.  Hey, Richard!  Let's go find us some well armed tasties, sound fun?"

Go hunting for a Smiles patrol, something like the little blockade we ran into earlier.  Some armed dudes we can murder and loot.  SAM can have free reign of the Silverfish, since I don't think Wilfred can pilot it while in his hardsuit just yet.

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Accomplishments (click to show/hide)
The Smiles are currently in a bit of a panic. Their headquarters is currently under siege by a giant skeleton so the remaining members are scattering out into the city in clustered convoys and on foot. The largest one is heading south into the main city area, the rest are sort of going all over. Would you prefer they be on foot or in cars and if in cars, how many? There's between 1 and 5 car convoys and the "Main" convoy has 12 cars.

Baldwin exits the EdPC about a minute after everyone else. This shouldn't be very odd, except for the fact that he exits the EdPC flopping about in mid air as a 9 foot tall young tree man drags him out by the throat and starts walking towards the north.

Go outside and steal a functional Chevrolet. if no functional Chevrolet's are found, repair and gas up the most functional one i can find.
If i have time after this, locate a cinema and hijack a projector and a sizeable chunk of movie screen.
