"Hell YEAH! That's my boy" Baldwin says before slapping Wil on the back.

Then he turns around to slap Tara out of her daze.

"Wake up sleepy head! We're gonna go kill a false god, but we need the Silverfish to do it. Since there's basically no chance that thing was undamaged by the nuke, we're gonna need to use every bit of expertise you have in order to repair! So get in on it. Use anything you can, salvage parts from the ruined Chevrolet if you must!"

Baldwin sends her off with another slap on the back for good measure.

"Allegro. GO!"

I am suggesting an auto-action for Tara. I'll at least take a turn for Bob to reconstitute himself so she's the best person for this job. The action of course is to find and repair the Silverfish using any means necessary so Wil can use it. Parts can be taken from wherever, including vehicle wrecks like the Chevrolet.

Veto'ing the auto-Tara action.

heydude, generally we don't run other players' characters without their input. If someone says something like "I am going to be away for a while, [heydude] can run my character," then, within reason, it is acceptable. Additionally, in certain known cases, such as with Radio and Pan, it's generally accepted, since they're the same person IRl anyway (not really. this is a joke).

Spoiler: "But Oz" one objects, "you auto'd Tara not too long ago yourself. It's only fair that others can as well." (click to show/hide)

Yes, I did. I believe I had good reason to do so, as Tara and Bob were in an alternate dimension when naturegirl went AFK and neither of us would have returned without Tara's input at the time. Additionally, naturegirl and I have played together in PW games for a couple years now and tend to get along fairly well, and she tends to drop out of the games without notice at certain times, for real life reasons, so we understand that she is probably going to be out of contact, and essentially a null character. And note that I did the minimum of auto-piloting necessary to save her character "and mine" from being effectively unrecoverable.

Spoiler: "But Oz, this is a big emergency, surely we can pull out the stops here." (click to show/hide)

 Well, no. It is true that there are a handful of AFK players whose characters are still nominally with us, and that this is a potential team-wipe situation. However, there are a couple of reasons it is still inappropriate for us to use inactive characters to supplement our actions.

1st, they are, in fact, other peoples' characters, active or not.
2nd, the inactives have had no hand in the events of late. In this case, it was active players that got us into this mess, and active players are responsible for getting us out
3rd, using inactive characters to supplement one's actions is Meta-gaming. Effectively we are using them as spare parts and resources, to be pulled out when needed, then ignored again once our desires are met. and, in worse cases, we have the temptation to run them as second characters of our own, which tends to be frowned on in these games.

[Radio Controlled]

Wilfred, after remaining silent for a few seconds watching SAM, suddenly thrusts a large metal fist victoriously into the air.

"Awww hell yeah, Sam!  I knew you were a cool chick dick thing, but I had no idea you had THAT in you!  Badass!"

He then climbs back into the EdPC, disembarking from his hardsuit almost as soon as he's inside.  He looks at Yagyu, and reaches up for the cognition copier mounted on his head, but hesitates.  After a moment he lowers his hands and instead grabs a keycard, the key to his personal chest of belongings back home.  He presses it into Yagyu's palm.

"If I come back, I'll have to have the ability to remember this.  There's no way in hell I'm gonna apotheosize and punch out the god of all flesh, and then go back to normal life not knowing what it felt like!  If my mind's unrecoverable, take care of Rolly Polly for me.  And fuck Derp up if you ever get the chance!"

With that, he unceremoniously begins pushing the Silverfish out of the APC, pausing only to give a quick nod to Baldwin.  "If anyone wants to fly me closer, and maybe keep the silverfish for yourself afterward, taking volunteers now.  Otherwise I'm gonna ram this thing right into Sam!  This time, I am the warhead!" 

"I'll... take care of her. Good luck."

((OOC note: are we sure we want someone with d4 in tech to pilot the silverfish?))

Veto'ing the auto-Tara action.

Sure, I think I get your point. I’m just kind of guy who’ll at least try something first before giving up on it. I saw a potential benefit so I went for it. I pushed my limits and now I know where they are.

Honestly, I would probably fight harder if it weren’t for the fact that Burt began his own repair action. I forgot Burt was an engineer.

Tara is far from a null character though. She is someone we’ve been making an active effort to protect (I mean you dragged her body into the sewers), so I don’t think it’s unfair to be able to derive some benefit in return. Piecewise even rolled for her Will to resist SAM’s aura which he didn’t do for any of the other AFKs.

I think that more than anything is a statement that Tara is a present and active member of our team who’s skillset we are allowed to utilize. At least once.

((OOC note: are we sure we want someone with d4 in tech to pilot the silverfish?))

((You only have to roll the tech dice if you have to perform a complex manoeuvre. The only thing the pilot is doing here is flying Will most of the distance and then dropping him off.

We won’t need to roll the dice unless SAM decides to fire a lazer beam and we need to perform evasive maneuvers.

I must admit, that it seems like the only purpose of the pilot here seems to be to return the silverfish intact. As valuable as that thing has been so far, I doubt it’s going to be very useful in the corridor crawls that most of our missions consist of. I also think Wilfred would benefit from the extra ramming speed the thing can provide if he takes it all the way))

Am I still online? If not, boot the EdPC back up.
Assuming I succeed in regaining control and all system are nominal, then wait for everyone to do their thing. The moment everyone is done doing their thing and I don't have to stick around here, haul ass towards the military base where we originally entered the zone.

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.

((As someone rooting for a kaiju fight, yeah, Wil has the best tech. Sy should go solo. Not like the Silverfish is gonna survive Wil going full Spooky Gurren Lagan.))

((I edited my action to state that Wilfred will be the pilot until he disembarks, just to ensure the important part (getting him away from the team) is successful.  As a comment, I mostly added the option for someone else to pilot to be a bit less of a selfish jerk; while the silverfish is arguably better for ramming than the hardsuit's jump jets, since it's faster and has a longer range, I chose to use it because it means I won't lose my very valuable hardsuit.  And since I'm basically using the team's most valuable loot just to avoid losing my own most valuable item, it seems like a good idea to allow someone else to save the thing.

...Also, did I miss something?  Why does the silverfish need to be repaired?  I'd think that at most it needs to be rebooted; there shouldn't have been physical damage, and if a reboot can't fix the computers it's probably fried.  _{^{And if it were fried then all of us robobrains would presumably be dead, considering it's a military design that's built to resist energy weapons, while we're in cheap wageslave prosthetics.}}))

Yagyu and Burt climb out of the EdPC and go looking for the silverfish, fully expecting the worst. However they find the craft laying on the ground about 15 feet from the EdPC. Seems like it busted free and fell to the ground but its light wieght and springy construction prevented any damage. Aside from some scratches that will probably buff out.  Together they both get it on its landing gear again and clear some space around it for a quick take off.

They both then scramble back into the EdPC before they get left behind.

((Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow, and insidious killer.))

Baldwin's jaw drops when he sees SAM still standing. He saw what the nuke did to the rest of the landscape so how is she so FINE?!

It wasn't a total loss though. It seems like everything he said about the flesh sea was right, and SAM was still quite damaged. But he had to admit there was only one person left who could stop her.

"... I think I'm about ready to go home now guys."

"I'm just about ready to as well..." He said with great pain.

"But I think it's his fight to finish"

His head had turned towards Wilfred hulking metal frame. He was more powerful than either than them, and he was the one to drop the nuke. So naturally it made sense to give him the final word.


Baldwin holds up inside the EDPC. He decides to use his own flesh-warping power to try to help Bob put himself back together.

"Let me help you with that."

Spoiler: Baldwin Reborn (click to show/hide)

Name: Robert Baldwin
Physical Description: A tall, pale, 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.

Also has blood wings and a blood halo now...

Background:  In a past life, Robert was a nature-loving hippy who abandoned his passion for cold-hard cash. Now a shameless capitalist, he thought up many money-making schemes as an occultist at OMMNI, but he encountered failure after failure before meeting his end within the SAM hivemind. Somehow he managed to make it back, but it's hard to gauge how much of his old personality is still intact.

Before even this, 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...

And you know the rest.

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.

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.

Bob requires no help! Bob is bob!

Wilfred, after remaining silent for a few seconds watching SAM, suddenly thrusts a large metal fist victoriously into the air.

"Awww hell yeah, Sam!  I knew you were a cool chick dick thing, but I had no idea you had THAT in you!  Badass!"

He then climbs back into the EdPC, disembarking from his hardsuit almost as soon as he's inside.  He looks at Yagyu, and reaches up for the cognition copier mounted on his head, but hesitates.  After a moment he lowers his hands and instead grabs a keycard, the key to his personal chest of belongings back home.  He presses it into Yagyu's palm.

"If I come back, I'll have to have the ability to remember this.  There's no way in hell I'm gonna apotheosize and punch out the god of all flesh, and then go back to normal life not knowing what it felt like!  If my mind's unrecoverable, take care of Rolly Polly for me.  And fuck Derp up if you ever get the chance!"

With that, he unceremoniously begins pushing the Silverfish out of the APC, pausing only to give a quick nod to Baldwin.  "If anyone wants to fly me closer, and maybe keep the silverfish for yourself afterward, taking volunteers now.  Otherwise I'm gonna ram this thing right into Sam!  This time, I am the warhead!"

Discard all equipment besides the cognition copier, then take the Silverfish and fly towards SAM-9 at maximum velocity.  If someone else wants to pilot, and drop Wilfred off partway there, they can go right ahead EDIT: If someone else volunteers to be the pilot, Wilfred will fly halfway to SAM, then jump out and get ghosty, allowing the volunteer to try and fly back.  If nobody volunteers, he'll start getting ghosty without slowing down, aiming to crash into SAM with the force of an undead city.

Once dropped off, or after getting at least a mile of distance from the EdPC if he's piloting alone, begin drawing up the power of every last ghost possible.  They ought to be pretty pissed at SAM, really; Wilfred's just going to give everyone some nice unity and direction.  He doesn't have a huge amount of worry what form the ultimate summon takes.  The classic "big boner" would be fine, as long as it's got at least four arms this time, or we could do something cooler, like a whirling hekatonkheires hurricane of arms.  Or maybe a spider made of guns!  Manifesting a nice big cannon to blow off SAM's head and get her attention would be a great opening move.

Point is, make it big, make it killy, and make it have lots of disposable appendages.  Otherwise, ghost democracy, rather than flesh communism.

EDIT2: In the event that the silverfish is too damaged to fly, and can't be repaired... I guess just get out and start running towards SAM (without the hardsuit).  Get Ghosty once a decent distance from the EdPC, with more of a focus on gaining mobility to catch up to SAM.

Name: Wilfred Seven
Physical Description: 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.

Spoiler: Accomplishments (click to show/hide)

--Scouted Smiles territory from the air
--Summoned a ghost rat which led him to an entrance into the tunnels under Smiles territory.
--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.
----Said skeleton kaiju then left to attack the military perimeter around Detroit.  Who really weren't our enemy, but I guess they are now.
------But he destroyed the skeleton kaiju!  So it's all good!
--Interrogated the ghost of the former institute scientist, gaining presumably valuable intel.
--Destroyed an evacuating Smiles van.
--Accidentally destroyed all the computers in an institute building we wanted to investigate.  Technically some of these were hostile computers controlling turrets, so it wasn't counterproductive in the end.  No, not counterproductive at all...
--Hacked into the flash storage drive that SAM found after Yagyu detonated, containing a ton of information about the central institute building.  Also figured out what said institute building was designed to do.
--Stole an artifact gun worth millions of megabucks from the Bizarre... I guess?  SAM provided the distraction.  And what a distraction it was!
--Guided in the nuke that hit SAM, accelerating its arrival by about 50%; thirty seconds rather than sixty.  Not that this seemed to really matter beyond buffing SAM.

Am I still online? If not, boot the EdPC back up.
Assuming I succeed in regaining control and all system are nominal, then wait for everyone to do their thing. The moment everyone is done doing their thing and I don't have to stick around here, haul ass towards the military base where we originally entered the zone.

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.

Wilfred strips down to his robo-birthday suit and climbs into the silverfish. No one else is around to fly it so he is doing this himself. [3,7][9]

The silverfish has a hard time taking off in the turbulent post-nuke winds.  The first attempt ends a few seconds after it begins with the flyer awkwardly thumping back down onto its landing gear after almost being flipped backwards by the wind. Wilfred steadies himself and waits for a lull in the constant gusts. The instant the wind dies down for just a moment he jams the throttle and rises up. The winds, driven by the fires below, are less noticeable at altitude and he doesn't have to worry about being smashed into a building if they catch him wrong. He flies straight towards what he is for some reason internally referring to as "Sam 9"

The thing that was Sam is deceptively large, filling more and more of the windscreen as he pushes the craft forward. His instruments begin to flicker and his eyes shimmer with static as the radiation randomly pings the light detectors. Once he thinks he's far enough away from the already fleeing EdPC, he reaches into the well of occult power within him and pushes it out onto the city. There is death here. Death from that skeleton he released. Death from the Sam incident. Death from the nuke. Old death from the starving times after the disaster zone appeared. Death from violent riots and gang warfare. All of it bubbling up now, roused into action by this new eruption of fatality. Wilfred doesn't try to command it. He doesn't try to shove it towards Sam.  All he does is get the vast ethereal horde's attention, point to Sam, and say "Its her fault".

[4v1]
The countless ghosts do not coalesce into a single form, instead they swirl upwards as a spectral tide and engulf Sam in a swirling whirlpool of ectoplasmic force.  Sam, her flesh still congealing into a more compete body, slowly turns her head to look down at the mob of ghosts. She stares at it as it rolls up her legs like a bladed tornado, tearing the flesh away. And then she opens her mouth. Or rather her entire head seems to unfurl and unhinge, opening into a single giant mouth that literally splits her head in half. A great blaze of light pours from that mouth, after a moment, the cyclone of souls begins to falter. It partially breaks apart as hundred of ghosts are sucked directly into Sam's maw.



Meanwhile, the EdPC is booking it. He's about half way to the military base at this point and not slowing down.

If I can contact the military base, warn them we're coming in with the intent of moving out of the exclusion zone and getting out of here.

Either way, keep sending visuals of what's happening up to command.

Should trouble try to catch up to us, use the main cannon to either blast it to pieces, or use a shrieker shell to distract it, whichever seems most appropriate.
