The large catgirl glares at Kora suspiciously, then calls her out suspiciously.  With a man's voice.  "Heeey, what are you up to?  Are you following me?  I'll have you know I am a fucking god, and I can eat your derpy little soul if you try anything!"

"Obviously, yes. You're the most dangerous member of the team."

On an online board called "OMNI Answers" you find the word written as a phonetic spelling of an indecipherable phrase on a found footage recording. No one can translate it in the forum, but the origin appears to be a recording labeled  O8820810 that was scraped from a datacube found in the jungle of south america. The original video is now apparently gone as the link to it is dead.

Wilfred glares down at the smaller woman for several seconds, considering.  Then he suddenly bursts out laughing, and points at her.  "Smart girl, you're damn right!"

He then wraps an arm around her shoulders, dragging her along with him as he heads to the rec room.  "Come with me, we're gonnya watch something that's fucking awesome.  The time I killed the team's other god!"

Edward slithers into the barracks, wearing/being his new robobody

"Greetings, teammates. It is I, Edward the Supporctopus, formerly EdPC. I look forward to being your driver and general supporting teammate next mission"

I forgot to ask before, but does this robobody have a different Life stat than the standard d4?

In any case, look into getting some insurance for my octobody with its upgrades

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 spending a mission as the EdPC, he now has a cyborg octopus body. Matte black and stands (slithers?) at about chest height

Holidays are busy for me  Wanted to get something posted but this is real fast.

Sell the secrifle and the Anti-Bio Razor, that I don't actually own.  I'll make one more attempt at getting the programming job done, but this time by paying a supervisor.  Hopefully selling or trading the kit will cover the job.

If it fails, just try to do the job myself.

After that.. well, not too much to do.  Wander about the base, looking for opportunities.

Background: To hear her neighbors speak of it, she was some kind of mad chemist who inhaled too many fumes and went mad. The truth is that she's no chemist at all, but just likes to blow things up and knows how to follow directions from the internet. She never did anything illegal, technically, but after some conversations with the cops she decided it'd be better to go find a job which actually involves intentional explosions.

OMNITECH Generic Security Rifle (d6 ranged Attack) and 3 magazines (d6 use die)
    One of the “Generic” brand of OMNITECH weapons which are ubiquitous in OMNITECH installations.

It is a bullpup design with a large magazine slotted into a spot on the top of the weapon. Uses standard UEC 7.5mmx50mm steel-carbide rounds.   The word “RIFLE” has been stenciled along one side of the weapon.
OMNITECH Generic Security Baton (d4 melee attack)
    One of the “Generic” brand of OMNITECH weapons which are ubiquitous in OMNITECH installations. A non-collapsible metal tonfa with a square shaped striking surface to allow for both flat and edged blows.

Yeah, I subtract debts from my pay whenever I get more money.  Speaking of, Egan seems to have bought explosives from me, so that money goes straight into paying the new debt.  Down to 150 debt!

Retrieve Rolly-Polly (Wil's giant pet woodlouse), then go try and search up a video recording of Wil's last moments in the Detroit kaiju fight.  Did he win?  Was SAM stopped?  Was the ending sufficiently explosive and awesome?

If Wil's up, stay near him and don't be annoying.

The large catgirl glares at Kora suspiciously, then calls her out suspiciously.  With a man's voice.  "Heeey, what are you up to?  Are you following me?  I'll have you know I am a fucking god, and I can eat your derpy little soul if you try anything!"

Then he protectively cradles the giant woodlouse in his arms, turning away to put his body between Kora and his strange pet.

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 is an upsettingly poorly clothed buff catgirl.  Who still sounds identical to Wil Wheaton.
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.

Recordings of the fight end in a detonation which, according to reports after the fact, was roughly on par with a multi-megaton bomb..

You manage to find the original video. Its about 5 minutes long, most of it nothing but darkness and breathing noises, apparenly someone holding a camera near their chest and hiding. The last 20 seconds or has the person point the camera down a long apparenlty concrete tunnel which is suddenly lit by bright purple light. Something is standing at the end of it, something clearly not human or even of this earth. It makes the noise in question and the video cuts. On initial viewing there's not much to go on as to its meaning or origin.






A siern is screaming somewhere far away.

[The Lupanian]

((Dev, you can't sell my shit. And if you do, I get the money, because it's my shit. You are borrowing it. I will take it back if you don't want it, but it ain't yours.

If you really want, go ahead and sell the rifle, but give the razor back if you don't want it.))

[heydude6]

((My Wil body vote is The Rock or Arnold Schwaznagger. I mean look at those stats! Whatever Will creates is definitely going to be swole, and I think the actor theme should be continued. If Musclehead isn't your thing, then may I recommend buff Christian Bale? Alternatively, you can become a martial arts legend like Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee. As a matter of fact, out of all of my suggestions, I think Chuck Norris is the best one.))

Try the ghost jar merging again. SAM didn't nail it the first time after all. Also from now on, assume my shield generator is only active if I explicitly declare an action to activate it. Don't want to waste my battery when I'm not in danger.

Speech to d6

As tempting and in-character as it is to max out occult, Baldwin's stats never reflected the smooth-talking hustler I RPed him as.

Try to recall and follow the proper evac procedure for this specific type of siren. I assume it's necessary to evacuate the base in case of a fire, but I wouldn't be surprised if people used panic rooms here instead. If I don't know how to evac for this alarm, make a break for the teleporter room.

If everything is actually okay, ask Wilfred if I can examine the occult "fragile darkness" gun (with the benefit of my new post-mission occult level-up) he stole from the Bizarre. He never turned that thing in, and we never figured out what was the deal with it. Actually, maybe we can retroactively make this examination happen before the alarm.

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 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.

((Dev, you can't sell my shit. And if you do, I get the money, because it's my shit. You are borrowing it. I will take it back if you don't want it, but it ain't yours.

If you really want, go ahead and sell the rifle, but give the razor back if you don't want it.))

(Yeah, no, I'm selling it so that I have money to not die.  My orders this turn are to buy the best armour I can.  I'm fine with replacing it after the mission, but if Summer dies on the mission, I don't care how angry Ji is that her stuff was sold off.)

(I do have a choice, but I really don't want to spend the next mission period brain-dead so I can buy a piece of armour for the next mission.  Without armour, or a way to observe things, it's just suicide to stand next to people with multiple maxed stats, offensive gear to match it, mini-battlesuits, etc.  Anything that is an interesting encounter for such a character is basically instantly lethal to a character with d4 life who lacks immortality.)

(I want to actually play, and I feel there is some minimum level of equipment to scrape together to do it.  Owing Ji replacement gear makes it a real possibility in  my mind instead of simply a hope and a prayer..  until I saw your offer, I was pretty much resigned to spending the entire next mission brain-dead or sitting in the base area.)

Kora's eyes shine watching the recording of the final explosion of WIL VS SAM.

"Well, that's quite the fight. If you're a god, Wil, then can I ask you a question?"

She ignores the distant siren. There are more important things!

[Radio Controlled]

[6] You manage to find the original video. Its about 5 minutes long, most of it nothing but darkness and breathing noises, apparenly someone holding a camera near their chest and hiding. The last 20 seconds or has the person point the camera down a long apparenlty concrete tunnel which is suddenly lit by bright purple light. Something is standing at the end of it, something clearly not human or even of this earth. It makes the noise in question and the video cuts. On initial viewing there's not much to go on as to its meaning or origin.

1) Save the audio file just in case it's relevant later.

2) Also, question: can I use my status as auditor in the company to get access to, for example, restricted files or acces normally of-limits areas (like that one auditor-only area we once saw in that mission)? Or does buying the body only get you the body but not the actual auditor status?

3) Second question: in the past you said starting gear cannot be sold (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=173094.msg8251121#msg8251121). So has this rule changed, meaning any item can be sold?

A siern is screaming somewhere far away.

"YEAH!  FUCK DERP UP!  AHAHAHA, YES!"

Wilfred cheers loudly as he watches the fight, pumping a fist in the air... despite the fact that it's a recording of himself.  He calms down a bit after the fight finishes, rolling his catlike eyes as the scientists' explanation appears onscreen.   "Bah, you fucks don't know shit!  I killed Sam good, and like a few cities too!  Fools, they think they knyow everything just 'cause they've got fancy labcoats.  Labcoats that ain't acidproof..."

One feline ear swivels to point at Kora when she speaks up, though Wilfred remains focused on the screen, fiddling with the controller to try and get a replay of when he sent SAM to the ground.  "Yeah, yeah, sure.  I'm a font of wisdoms.  Like, fuck Derp."

((Heydude will be answered after I've considered more))

Allow Baldwin to inspect the Fragile Darkness gun, but make sure to be a large distance away from him while he does so.  Maybe go investigate that siren, in full combat gear.  Drag Kora along, we've watched enough movies, by which I mean Wilfred's finally bored of watching himself fighting SAM.

Can I sell the Neuron reconfiguration helmet?  If so, for how much?  It's been used three times, so I'd expect the value to go down somewhat.

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 is an upsettingly poorly clothed buff catgirl.  Who still sounds identical to Wil Wheaton.
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.

"What... exactly happens when we die?"

[syvarris]

"Oh, that's easy.  Your soul just hangs out for a bit, eventually it'll wander off if it feels like it.  Shit can get brutal after that, though; unlife's even rougher than this one, and damn near everything wants to eatcha.  Or just control you, ghosts have like... barely any free will, some've 'em will do what you say if you just give them a stern look!"

If everything is actually okay, ask Wilfred if I can examine the occult "fragile darkness" gun (with the benefit of my new post-mission occult level-up) he stole from the Bizarre. He never turned that thing in, and we never figured out what was the deal with it. Actually, maybe we can retroactively make this examination happen before the alarm.

Wilfred actually turns to make eye contact with Baldwin when he comes up, pausing the video and interrupting the man instantly.  "Eh?  Oh, hey cultyboy!  Nice wings, do they taste like chicken?"

Wilfred eyes Baldwin's new limbs hungrily while he states his request, not seeming to pay much attention.  "Prolly too much blood, myeh.  Anyway, you want the... uh, the thing I swiped?  Yeah, sure, just give it back after.  And go a few rooms down before poking it!  You aim it over here and I'll take your wings!"

The catgirl roots around in a pocket for a moment, before producing the occult gun and offering it to Baldwin.  He's already ignoring the man though, unpausing his kaiju battle.

"Yeah, as I was saying.  The Bald One Reborn there's gonna be a ghost like that.  Still, it's way better than how things used to be, before I killed the last ghost god.  That fucker was collecting, like, every ghost in existence, just packing them all into its little crystal zoo.  Shit was fucked.  Now, now you don't gotta worry, death still sucks, but at least you won't be permanently buried under ghost mice or ghost microbes or something.  Now you can eat your way out!  Anyway, check this--look at that punch!  Man, Sam felt that one!  She was always a tough bitch, but she let her ego get a bit too big!"
