((Ji would remind Baldwin that the mushroom is not his to sell. It belongs to Ji outright, as was the agreement. He has lended his efforts to acquiring it, and that deserves compensation. But he has no stake in deciding what to do with it.))

Edit- Trade an empty containment pod for the mushroom one. Allow Baldwin to take a sample.

Satisfied with with seeing progress on its growth, Baldwin turns towards Ji.

"Since the mission is wrapping up and you've gotten ahold of your own containment pod now, I think now is a good time to give this back you. To be honest, I'm going to miss the fun little guy, but I'm pretty sure you'd kill me if I tried to hold onto this thing. I've already had enough attempted team killings for one mission."

Baldwin laughs when he says this. Perhaps it's his idea of a joke.

"There's just one last thing I want to show you before I let it go. As I mentioned at the airport before, I used to grow mushrooms. And take a look!"

He smiles while presenting the containment pod. You can see that bits of aluminum are now covered in a fuzz.

"That there is the Mycellium and it's finally managed to spread through the substrate. That means that if I take some of it, I can grow another mushroom, and I could grow one for you too if you wanted a second one."

Baldwin then takes out an empty containment pod and opens the plastic door.

"I guess this is my way of asking if I could take some with me? I've got a few exotic potted plants in my room, and I would love to add the mushroom to my collection."

If Ji allows it, Baldwin will take some of the Mycellium covered substrate and place it in the empty containment pod. With time and care, it will eventually grow into a full sized golden mushroom itself. Baldwin will also give the original mushroom back to Ji.

"By the way, do you have any plans for that jar of ghost rats?"

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.

Inventory (it's somewhere on the floor embedded in the sludge):
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 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.

Ask if they have a second shuttle ready to extract for if, nay, when Wil is done kicking undead ass and needs to get extracted as well.

If yes, let's just go. If not, maybe just fly off a bit to make sure we're out of the dangerous area, but then we can wait for Wil?

((Do note, Wilfred explicitly expected this to be a suicide mission, and made no request for anyone to wait for him.  At best he figured he might get redownloaded into the EdPC after dying.  OOC, I fully expect this fight to get auto-resolved within a few turns, and I don't see it ending well for Wil.  Neither I nor my character will mind in the slightest if you skedaddle early.))

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.
--Summoned lots of ghosts and monsters to attack SAM, as the rest of the team retreated.
----Took control of untold billions of souls and corpses, forming them into a undead mecha of cataclysmic proportions, piloted by Wilfred.  And fought SAM with it.  Because teamkilling is what Wilfred is best at, so if his teammate becomes a god, that just means Wilfred will try and kill a god.

You acquire a lackadaisical tortoise ghost in a containment pod before trading an empty one to Baldwin. He gives you the mushroom pod after scraping a bit of mushroom goo out.

Satisfied with with seeing progress on its growth, Baldwin turns towards Ji.

"Since the mission is wrapping up and you've gotten ahold of your own containment pod now, I think now is a good time to give this back you. To be honest, I'm going to miss the fun little guy, but I'm pretty sure you'd kill me if I tried to hold onto this thing. I've already had enough attempted team killings for one mission."

Baldwin laughs when he says this. Perhaps it's his idea of a joke.

"There's just one last thing I want to show you before I let it go. As I mentioned at the airport before, I used to grow mushrooms. And take a look!"

He smiles while presenting the containment pod. You can see that bits of aluminum are now covered in a fuzz.

"That there is the Mycellium and it's finally managed to spread through the substrate. That means that if I take some of it, I can grow another mushroom, and I could grow one for you too if you wanted a second one."

Baldwin then takes out an empty containment pod and opens the plastic door.

"I guess this is my way of asking if I could take some with me? I've got a few exotic potted plants in my room, and I would love to add the mushroom to my collection."

If Ji allows it, Baldwin will take some of the Mycellium covered substrate and place it in the empty containment pod. With time and care, it will eventually grow into a full sized golden mushroom itself. Baldwin will also give the original mushroom back to Ji.

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.

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 (it's somewhere on the floor embedded in the sludge):
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 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.

"Hey can we wait for our teammate over there to get done fighting?"

"Copy. Which one is your teammate?"

"...Technically both are."

It is at about this time that SAM nukes several blocks of Ann Arbor with a beam of concentrated nuclear flame.

"I don't think they'd fit in the ship."

"Well...one of them is only human sized, he's just piloting the giant corpse mecha."

"I see. And he needs our help why now?"

"Thats....honestly kind of a good point. Could you at least point him in the right direction once he's done fighting, if he lives? You know so he can ride a pale horse home or something."

"Roger."

"Alright...uh...well good to go then I suppose."

"Roger that. Evac'ing now."

The evac ship rises soundlessly, though the EdPC vibrates like a bell, and shoots off back towards home. The men inside look back wistfully at their long adventures, smiling as an extended portion of the only shelter in the disaster zone burns with nuclear fire. They pat each other on the shoulders and smile at a job well done. Then they look away before the atomic flash blinds them.

Ask if they have a second shuttle ready to extract for if, nay, when Wil is done kicking undead ass and needs to get extracted as well.

If yes, let's just go. If not, maybe just fly off a bit to make sure we're out of the dangerous area, but then we can wait for Wil?

((Do note, Wilfred explicitly expected this to be a suicide mission, and made no request for anyone to wait for him.  At best he figured he might get redownloaded into the EdPC after dying.  OOC, I fully expect this fight to get auto-resolved within a few turns, and I don't see it ending well for Wil.  Neither I nor my character will mind in the slightest if you skedaddle early.))

"By the way, do you have any plans for that jar of ghost rats?"

--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.
--Summoned lots of ghosts and monsters to attack SAM, as the rest of the team retreated.
----Took control of untold billions of souls and corpses, forming them into a undead mecha of cataclysmic proportions, piloted by Wilfred.  And fought SAM with it.  Because teamkilling is what Wilfred is best at, so if his teammate becomes a god, that just means Wilfred will try and kill a god.

The battle ranges on for what seems like hours, Wilfred blasting away flesh that regenerates moments later and SAM exorcising the dead only for them to rise again.  In spite of leveling an area tens of miles wide and rendering huge parts of Ann Arbor dangerously radioactive, neither side can seemingly come out on top. They are simply too evenly matched. As they stand, face to face, across the ruined wasteland they have created an understanding seems to wordlessly cross between them.  They put their all into one final attack.  They charge, necromantic and flesh warping energies crackling across the barren earth as they scream forward.

This is the last thing Wilfred remembers, his cognition copier dumping his mind from the moments just before the final blow. Whether the destroyed each other or the being that was once SAM won out, he isn't sure. All he knows is that he stood toe to toe with a nascent god and held his own.

I liked the mission.  I have somewhat of an opposed view from Lupanian--I wish we had more freedom to explore separate from the main group, without feeling like we'd get significantly separated.  Wilfred didn't actually have this problem, what with the hardsuit (and monopolizing the silverfish to a degree), but it was quite clear other players were affected (Heydude).

I also disliked using a real-world map for the city.  It worked, and was a creative way to make a city plan, but it's simply more annoying to read a real map (especially on mobile) than a traditional RPG grid/hex map.

I liked the very open nature of the world, with lots of options for dealing with the Smiles, for instance.  It felt pretty overwhelming for me a lot of the time, especially being preoccupied with real life, but I felt like I had more than enough freedom to come up with creative solutions to problems, or go find something interesting to do.  I didn't use that much, but when I did it was a high point.

I think the Silverfish added a lot to making the mission enjoyable. I don't know what the ideal amount of freedom too split off is, but there definitely has to be some it. Maybe there could be two silverfishes next time or something like that? Maybe each of us could have their own motorcycle? I think having a central "mothership" is important though. Large groups need someone they can recognize as a higher authority to keep them coordinated. The person driving the EDPC-equivalent is the person we should all try to get back to at some point.

Besides tethering, what else can I say about the mission? I think individual locations should have multiple things to do in them. The only thing at the prospector's bar for example was the bar. Everything else there was a ruined house. The only thing at the airport was the haunted plane, and a few bits of scattered loot. The only thing at the orange zone clinic was the tree Kaiju fight and a conversation with those hospital guys.

If traversal across the world map should be tethered to a central command vehicle, I think the individual locations we arrive at should encourage splitting the party a lot. The image I have in my mind is a Mario Oddyssey level for some reason. Imagine if we put The Razor and The Bizarre in roughly the same area for example? What if we encountered a ruined city with data disks buried in the somewhere in the rubble and we had to split off because that would be the fastest way to find them? Power disparity among members would make balancing this kind of tricky I suppose, but I have an idea for a possible solution to that.

When Wilfred and Sam split off to raid Smiles base and summon the skele-kaiju and the rest of us explored the factory for a battery, that was great! The hardsuit and the fleshmonster took on an army while us regular folks explored a dungeon where wits were needed rather than brawn. I think stuff like this is why less tethering to the EDPC is better. You'll have to figure out how to incentivize people to split up though (maybe some sort of overall time-limit, and thus a greater need for efficiency?)

Long story short, I think giving people reasons to spilt-up is a good goal to work towards. Just make sure you don't take it too far. I don't know how much can be learned from You are a monster, but that was a great open world game! It might be too individualistic to be of use to you though.

In the end, I would say that I enjoyed myself, but I say this as an occultist who managed to get involved in a lot of shenanigans.

Spoiler: Things Baldwin did (click to show/hide)

• Defended our food supplies from hungry reptiles
• Analyzed cable to identify the location of a dangerous group. We were successfully able to avoid them.
• Destroyed a snap that was attacking the Prospector's bar, allowing us to continue gathering resources and information from it
• Acquired an expensive anomaly watch for the price of free, along with a lead on a useful location
• Planned out Operation: Mile-High Recon, giving Will and Sam a bird's eye view of the Smile's base
• identified the metal slabs in the suitcase as slices of brain meant to be scanned by a computer. Not necessarily a flesh-and-blood brain, but definitely something that was meant to be conscious
• Fed the team mascot

Any bet may be placed, doesn't have to be OMNI, along with a time when you think it's gonna happen by. If that time passes without a STAN incident, you either forfeit your bet to the pool or can choose another time, but you have to put in another bet on top of your original one - again, can be anything.

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.

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 Mycellium 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 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.

I quite liked the mission, playing as the EdPC was a lot of fun. It's nice being almost a literal tank and not having to worry about my fleshy bits.

That said, I'm not sure a completely open world/free reign map is the way to go. I just feel like this game, due to the play by post nature, needs a little bit of directing maybe? Something like the FTL map, where you each time have the choice of going between 2-3 possible routes, but in the end you're always progressing from sector 1-2-3-etc. Completely open ended would work fine if we were playing in real time and could quickly ping-pong questions, but with several days of time between each question/action and answer having a couple of well defined options might help in keeping things going and on track. It would also mean that at each junction we can decide to either pick one as a group, or split up to hit multiple options at once.

That said, this certainly wasn't bad. I had fun, mission was interesting, SAM-9 kinda came a bit out of nowhere for me but the kaiju fighting itself was very neat.

5/7, perfectly cromulent mission, Bob is best mascot.

- Ferried the team all across the zone
- Got decorated by teammates, which made the EdPC look like a total baller vehicle
- Used armaments to help take down big tree monster
- Used my hacking to bring down the cargo drone, leading to: acquisition of the silverfish, acquisition of several other bits of misc gear, loss of revenue of rival company
- When the warehouse exploded, managed to out-drive the explosion and thus save several teammates
- provided overwatch for OMNITECH foot agents at several points. No OMNITECH employee was ambushed during my overwatch
- Provided robobody for Yagyu, thus reestablishing the chain of command when we were without a leader
- Out-drove the effects of SAM-9, thus saving valuable(?) OMNITECH gear and employees
- Created an opportunity for our save and unnoticed exfiltation by driving a hole through the concrete wall surrounding the zone
- Got the EdPC back in one piece, even in pretty much unblemished state

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.

I liked the mission.  I have somewhat of an opposed view from Lupanian--I wish we had more freedom to explore separate from the main group, without feeling like we'd get significantly separated.  Wilfred didn't actually have this problem, what with the hardsuit (and monopolizing the silverfish to a degree), but it was quite clear other players were affected (Heydude).

I also disliked using a real-world map for the city.  It worked, and was a creative way to make a city plan, but it's simply more annoying to read a real map (especially on mobile) than a traditional RPG grid/hex map.

I liked the very open nature of the world, with lots of options for dealing with the Smiles, for instance.  It felt pretty overwhelming for me a lot of the time, especially being preoccupied with real life, but I felt like I had more than enough freedom to come up with creative solutions to problems, or go find something interesting to do.  I didn't use that much, but when I did it was a high point.

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.

--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.
--Summoned lots of ghosts and monsters to attack SAM, as the rest of the team retreated.
----Took control of untold billions of souls and corpses, forming them into a undead mecha of cataclysmic proportions, piloted by Wilfred.  And fought SAM with it.  Because teamkilling is what Wilfred is best at, so if his teammate becomes a god, that just means Wilfred will try and kill a god.  _{He really hopes he won in the end.}

Killed by a beam smashing my head.
Beamed into a computer on the EDPC.
Found information about the airport on the internet.
Remembered what the logo on the plane was and told everyone.

Also discovered those institute people liked Lithium.
Found a animatronic band in a restaurant.
Had my mind put into an animatronic fox.
Helped kill the tree monster.
Found the location of a robotics factory to get a battery for me.
Got stuck in an anomaly in the factory.
Discovered a way out of the factory using an old cable to drag myself out, also gave this info to my teammates.
Discovered what the cause of the anomaly was, but didn't mess with it.
Got a new battery installed so I could actually to do stuff.
Obtained a usable turret from the building that exploded before it exploded.
Fixed the leg and arm of Wilfred's hard suit.
Bought some stuff at the bizarre.
When things went to shit in the bizarre I stole a some handguns that I'll give out to fellow teammates also an artifact.
Blew up a building in front of the fleeing EDPC which crashed into it, which kept us from being killed by the nuke, but that also got a teammate killed because he melted.
Helped find the silverfish so Wilfred could attack Samzilla.
Thought about committing a warcrime against fleeing civilians.
Made friends a ghost fox.
Survived the mission sort of.

I liked the open world of the mission, but I was a afraid to leave the group after being killed by a beam I also liked all the warcrimes.

I think the Silverfish added a lot to making the mission enjoyable. I don't know what the ideal amount of freedom too split off is, but there definitely has to be some it. Maybe there could be two silverfishes next time or something like that? Maybe each of us could have their own motorcycle? I think having a central "mothership" is important though. Large groups need someone they can recognize as a higher authority to keep them coordinated. The person driving the EDPC-equivalent is the person we should all try to get back to at some point.

Besides tethering, what else can I say about the mission? I think individual locations should have multiple things to do in them. The only thing at the prospector's bar for example was the bar. Everything else there was a ruined house. The only thing at the airport was the haunted plane, and a few bits of scattered loot. The only thing at the orange zone clinic was the tree Kaiju fight and a conversation with those hospital guys.

If traversal across the world map should be tethered to a central command vehicle, I think the individual locations we arrive at should encourage splitting the party a lot. The image I have in my mind is a Mario Oddyssey level for some reason. Imagine if we put The Razor and The Bizarre in roughly the same area for example? What if we encountered a ruined city with data disks buried in the somewhere in the rubble and we had to split off because that would be the fastest way to find them? Power disparity among members would make balancing this kind of tricky I suppose, but I have an idea for a possible solution to that.

When Wilfred and Sam split off to raid Smiles base and summon the skele-kaiju and the rest of us explored the factory for a battery, that was great! The hardsuit and the fleshmonster took on an army while us regular folks explored a dungeon where wits were needed rather than brawn. I think stuff like this is why less tethering to the EDPC is better. You'll have to figure out how to incentivize people to split up though (maybe some sort of overall time-limit, and thus a greater need for efficiency?)

Long story short, I think giving people reasons to spilt-up is a good goal to work towards. Just make sure you don't take it too far. I don't know how much can be learned from You are a monster, but that was a great open world game! It might be too individualistic to be of use to you though.

In the end, I would say that I enjoyed myself, but I say this as an occultist who managed to get involved in a lot of shenanigans.

• Defended our food supplies from hungry reptiles
• Analyzed cable to identify the location of a dangerous group. We were successfully able to avoid them.
• Destroyed a snap that was attacking the Prospector's bar, allowing us to continue gathering resources and information from it
• Acquired an expensive anomaly watch for the price of free, along with a lead on a useful location
• Planned out Operation: Mile-High Recon, giving Will and Sam a bird's eye view of the Smile's base
• identified the metal slabs in the suitcase as slices of brain meant to be scanned by a computer. Not necessarily a flesh-and-blood brain, but definitely something that was meant to be conscious
• Fed the team mascot
• Assisted with extracting the golden mushroom
• Successfully protected the golden mushroom and ensured it arrived back to base
• Figured out how to clone golden mushroom and may have successfully invented a money tree
• Performed an autopsy on a tree Kaiju and learned valuable information about the biology of anomaly monsters. Mainly that they don't have one and are closer to amorphous, ever-shifting, globs of inanimate matter that simply imitate conscious thought rather than actually have it. Like an action figure being played with by a child.
• Aquired a sample of ForeverWood^TM
• Single-handedly annihilated the Tree Monster ForeverWood^TM grew into and prevented a dangerous artifact from falling into the wrong hands.
• Held off a seige of grass monsters
• Rescued Yagyu and Ji from Xeno's factory
• Rescued Akanorth Requtist from an infinite loop of null rod swinging
• Noticed that the SAM clouds were going to overtake the EDPC and helped the group organize a plan that saved everyone except for Akanorth
• Covered the EDPC with wards against SAM magic that were strong enough to save Tara from dissolving into a puddle of flesh goo
• Single-handedly reconstituted self from flesh goo, acquiring a new and better form.
• Blew up a toppled building that otherwise would have prevented us from escaping the city
• Acquired an entire busload of ectoplasmic jelly to feed to the team mascot. Someone's gotta remember to do it.
• Exorcised the EDPC and stopped it from spawning ghosts.

Also, I think its time to distribute the rewards from this:

If that time passes without a STAN incident, you either forfeit your bet to the pool or can choose another time, but you have to put in another bet on top of your original one - again, can be anything. Whoever's guess lands closest to the inevitable STANification wins the pot.

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.

Inventory (it's somewhere on the floor embedded in the sludge):
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 Mycellium 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 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.

I quite liked the mission, playing as the EdPC was a lot of fun. It's nice being almost a literal tank and not having to worry about my fleshy bits.

That said, I'm not sure a completely open world/free reign map is the way to go. I just feel like this game, due to the play by post nature, needs a little bit of directing maybe? Something like the FTL map, where you each time have the choice of going between 2-3 possible routes, but in the end you're always progressing from sector 1-2-3-etc. Completely open ended would work fine if we were playing in real time and could quickly ping-pong questions, but with several days of time between each question/action and answer having a couple of well defined options might help in keeping things going and on track. It would also mean that at each junction we can decide to either pick one as a group, or split up to hit multiple options at once.

That said, this certainly wasn't bad. I had fun, mission was interesting, SAM-9 kinda came a bit out of nowhere for me but the kaiju fighting itself was very neat.

5/7, perfectly cromulent mission, Bob is best mascot.

Spoiler: EdPC achievements (click to show/hide)

- Ferried the team all across the zone
- Got decorated by teammates, which made the EdPC look like a total baller vehicle
- Used armaments to help take down big tree monster
- Used my hacking to bring down the cargo drone, leading to: acquisition of the silverfish, acquisition of several other bits of misc gear, loss of revenue of rival company
- When the warehouse exploded, managed to out-drive the explosion and thus save several teammates
- provided overwatch for OMNITECH foot agents at several points. No OMNITECH employee was ambushed during my overwatch
- Provided robobody for Yagyu, thus reestablishing the chain of command when we were without a leader
- Out-drove the effects of SAM-9, thus saving valuable(?) OMNITECH gear and employees
- Created an opportunity for our save and unnoticed exfiltation by driving a hole through the concrete wall surrounding the zone
- Got the EdPC back in one piece, even in pretty much unblemished state

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.

After a long flight the return ship comes to a stop above what appears to be a completely empty patch of desert. As it lowers, the ground beneath the EdPC opens like a camera shutter and reveals a seemingly endless shaft downward. The ship and its payload descend into this darkness as the doors above them seal shut. Another half hour or so of darkness passes until floodlights suddenly flick on. The EdPC is sitting alone in a large hanger, with no sign of the ship and no sign of how it would have gotten in or out of this room. Huh....
