(I'm not the one trying to smack the anomaly with a stick, it's akanorth requtist.)

(I'm not the one trying to smack the anomaly with a stick, it's akanorth requtist.)

I’m not trying to smack it, I’m trying to utterly destroy it.

[piecewise]

We'll make do with what we've got then. Rip the front passenger seat out of the car we already have. projector goes there. Tear the whole backseat out and plaster as much of the screen as we can fit into the back window draping down to the floorboards. Cut a hole in the trunk lid and affix the popcorn machine back there. If Tara so desires, we can replace the driver's seat with one of the theatre seats, but that's optional. Cardboard man is now our mascot: apply him like a skin over the passenger side hood and windshield of the car. If we can get the projector rigged to be at least minimally functional, that'd be great.

MEANWHILE: teleport over to Baldwin and bite him. Clamp down good and hard to keep him from metagaming and getting into pointless conflict with the guy whacking the physics warping thingum. You know, since Baldwin was completely ignorant of the thing's existence, the anomalous zone's effects, and the fact that the team was trapped in there mere moments ago.
I'm kidding about the teleporting, I'm just pointing out that heydude is metagaming in a very obnoxious way.

Through rewiring of the car's electronics and heavy modification of the interior (including reupholstering with theater carpeting) Bob manages to get the projector and screen in place, the popcorn machine installed, and the standee taped to the hood. He even measures the distances between the projector and screen so that the movie being projected is the right size and mostly clear.

[5] Ji wanders about and chops up the small plants still trying to kill "That one guy".  They don't offer much resistance. Well, no more so than an animate dandelion would normally.

((So, apparently I just used the EDPC to just tow Yagyu and Ji out of the trap. Ok, commence RP))
”Glad to see that you guys are okay. Turns out that tree kidnapping was a blessing in disguise.”
There’s a bit of an awkward silence as nobody bothers to comment. Baldwin looks into the hole again.
”So... how do you want to approach this now? Have you guys found the battery yet?”

"Working on it. This place is pissing me off."

Double check the cable to make sure it'll hold and then go in again and look for that fucking battery, then drag myself out again if one is found. Also drag out any remaining teammates if possible/needed. Either way shoot a message to the people inside:

"Guys, I know that grabbing glowing green glassballs that gave us grief is good fun, but try to not linger too long, we still have a job to do remember."

If we manage to get everyone gathered and things sorted, then board EdPC and let's head out to that second shipping location we learned about at the airport.

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.
Samples: Sam, Bob
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. Can use it on low-power setting to cut things open without havig to recharge.
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, grumbling the whole time, returns into the anomalous factory and grabs the godforsaken battery. Its easy enough now that he knows how to move around. He tells the rest of the team to stop screwing around then returns the way he came.

"Yeaaaah, we prolly should.  I don't want to get yelled at by Yagyu.  I think I'm gonna just leave the armored car, I can't fit inside it anyway.  So I'll be right with you, just wanna stow these guns first."

What die size of ammo for the rifles, and how many spare mags per rifle?  For comparison, the basic OMNITECH gun has the same damage and d8 mags.

What damage size for the grenades?  OMNITECH frags deal d12 damage.  I'd also like damage die for the rocket launcher, there's no point of reference there since OMNITECH doesn't sell those.

As an actual action... ehhh we don't really need an armored car.  Just ride back to the team as a passenger on the silverfish.  Happiness is a full arsenal.

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.

--Accidentally knocked out the Smiles' hospital intranet without getting any useful information... but, like, technically the Smiles are our enemy, so...
--...Accidentally knocked out the Smiles' entire hospital base with a ghost nuke.  Accidentally.  But, like, again.  Technically our enemy.
--......Aaaaaand then accidentally melted the guards guarding the scientist target, the other scientists, and the scientist we wanted to kidnap.  VERY TECHNICALLY THESE WERE ALL OUR ENEMIES.
--At least Wil grabbed the scientist's soul right after killing him?
--Accidentally summoned a fifteen-story skeleton kaiju in the middle of the Smiles base, probably fucking over everyone there who wasn't already fucked over.  Which... honestly, at this point, Wil should try to negotiate contracts with the corporations recording all this.
--Interrogated the ghost of the former institute scientist, gaining presumably valuable intel.
--Destroyed an evacuating Smiles van.

Ammo is d6, 8 spare mags in the car.
Damage for grenades is the same. RPG does d12+3.


I cannot comprehend anything SAM is saying so I'm gonna assume you two just fly back to the EdPC as the Smile's hideout burns in the distance and a godzilla sized skeleton slowly rampages around the city.

Before Akanorth Requtist can do any damage, Baldwin fires a warning shot with his pistol and tells him to stop.

((this is very obnoxious metagaming, and so soon after you roleplayed complete IC ignorance of the situation. You have no good reason to either go inside the anomaly, or to even know the other guy is in there and what he is doing. You have even less reason to expect that you could get there in time to stop what's about to happen.))

Guess I jumped the gun a little. Piecewise did a small timeskip to have me rescue Yagu and Ji and I assumed I had been briefed on everything afterwards. Upon rereading the turn though, the discovery of the glass glob has only just happened (right after the timeskip) and only Burt Burt and the other cultist know. Sorry about that, I'll make a new action.

"Guys, I know that grabbing glowing green glassballs that gave us grief is good fun, but try to not linger too long, we still have a job to do remember."

"If there are glowing green glassballs inside, then I'd like to take a look. I accidentally obliterated the tree guy while trying to escape from him so it would make me feel better if I could find another artifact to replace it with. Should be a quick job."

Create a harness using cable. Wrap one end around my waist and the other end around the EDPC. Venture inside the factory and try to find those balls Yagyu is talking about. If I find Akanorth, recoil in horror as I witness him smashing the ball, being too late to stop him.

((And before anyone says it's out of character for me to venture into dangerous anomalies, I would like to remind you of how I handled the snap at the prospector's bar. Also it's my job to do things like this.))

Also ask the GM some questions:

((I have some questions about the Military grade electronic binoculars I got. Do they have multiple vision modes and if so what are they? Particularly I'm curious about things like infrared and night vision.))

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 4
    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 Universal Containment Pod with Golden Mushroom and Aluminum
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.

Baldwin follows the cable back into the building. He  sees...that guy with the name...swinging his rod at the glowing orb. And he notices that he's swinging it infinitely. Its a very odd thing to see. Always moving inwards...never reaching.

Baldwin sees the infinitely swinging rod and smiles.

"You'll never reach it as long as you're the one swinging it. Wait here, I'm going to try to collect this."

"As for the artifact, it's no longer a threat so don't destroy it, I'll be collecting it myself."

He gives akanorth a mean look.

"I'm serious though, don't destroy it"

Baldwin walks close enough to Akanorth so he can grab onto his cable and pull himself out. Once Akanorth is out, Baldwin will perform the procedure outlined in this spoiler:

Spoiler: Containment Procedure (click to show/hide)

Baldwin heads out to look for an empty shipping crate, preferably a metal one. An abandoned factory should be full of these, how else are they to send their stuff? He then turns the crate upside down and looks for some rod to prop it up with. Basically he creates a giant box trap like in this image minus the rope.



*A key difference that must be mentioned though is that the lid of the box will be on the bottom of the trap. This is so that when the box falls, it falls on the lid allowing for easier sealing.


Baldwin will look at the orb's trajectory and try to predict where it will go. He will set up the trap in such a way that the orb will go inside the box and collide with one of its walls. This should cause enough force to disturb the rod and make the crate fall down, trapping the orb inside. If the ball bounces off the box without making it fall, throw a big rock at the box instead. That should create enough force to trigger the trap and nab us the orb.

Once the orb has been boxed, Baldwin will walk a complete circle around the box and return to his starting position. This will make the cable around his waist wrap around the box, which should allow us to transport the box by manipulating the cable. Friction should drag the unsealed lid along as well.

The next step after this will be to seal the box, but I will do that in the next turn. I want to see how this first part turns out. Maybe it will be faster if I do this over discord or PM?

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 4
    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 Universal Containment Pod with Golden Mushroom and Aluminum
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)

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.

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.

--...Accidentally knocked out the Smiles' entire hospital base with a ghost nuke.  Accidentally.  But, like, again.  Technically our enemy.
--......Aaaaaand then accidentally melted the guards guarding the scientist target, the other scientists, and the scientist we wanted to kidnap.  VERY TECHNICALLY THESE WERE ALL OUR ENEMIES.
--At least Wil grabbed the scientist's soul right after killing him?
--Accidentally summoned a fifteen-story skeleton kaiju in the middle of the Smiles base, probably fucking over everyone there who wasn't already fucked over.  Which... honestly, at this point, Wil should try to negotiate contracts with the corporations recording all this.
--Interrogated the ghost of the former institute scientist, gaining presumably valuable intel.

And I see you guys had some proactive R&R as well, very nice.

Finally, he turns to the building, and over both comms and just by shouting, he yells that "We are getting the hell outta here at [end of turn], we've spent too much time on this shithole already."

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.
Samples: Sam, Bob
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. Can use it on low-power setting to cut things open without having to recharge.
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.

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 4
    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.

"Just remember to avoid the city Yags, we kinda unleashed the spirit of 10,000 dead natives and I believe it's currently eating the populace and terrorizing the wasteside as we speak."

SAM will sit by the window, before realizing she's probably too big to fit her head through it by now.

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 a swiss guy's greatest wetmare.
