[piecewise]

Yagyu gathers everyone together in a side room, with the hope of getting a clearer picture of what the hell just happened. As Wilfred drunkenly stumbles in, dragging Kora behind, the door to the unassuming conference room suddenly closes and the lights go out. The lights come back on again a few seconds later, and the room is entirely different. Instead of the standard conference room there is now simply a single overhead light illuminating a table with several chairs. At this edge of this light, only just illuminated, is a tall desk, with a figure sitting behind it. From the dim gleam of the light you can see a shape not dissimilar to Yagyu's own.  An Auditor. Its hands are steepled on the desk in front of it and its staring at you with the kind of stillness you'd expect from a lizard about to pounce on something.


Violence. It says, its voice deep and mechanical, slowly enunciating each word. "Violence is a wager. To use violence is to wager what you may lose against what you may gain. Scars, broken bones, great pain, and decades of life wagered against freedoms, desires, and survival. A man may better his odds through training, luck, skill, and circumstance but Violence is always a gamble, and a very personal one.

Mistakes were made here today. Mistakes that cannot be easily fixed.  You are not entirely to blame for your actions. They were, after all, accepted by your supervisors.

The Auditor lifts one hand and points up. Behind and above him several spotlights click on, one by one. Each reveals a metal rod, upon which a body is suspended. Some are badly beaten but still breathing. Bill Pelican is among these, bound upside down with his arms behind his back. Others are dead to various degrees. The ones near the center seem to have simply been shot while the one furthest to the right is little more than chunks of meat wrapped to a pole with wire.

They wagered, and they lost.

The mechanical hands return to their place on the desk, fingers clicking precisely together like the teeth of a zipper.

There is no need to explain your actions and no point in mounting a defense. Every action has been carefully scrutinized. Guilt and innocence are already known. Instead, you area here because I am offering you a wager of your own. Will you buy your lives with blood?

Name: "Kora"
Physical Description: A generally unimpressive woman in her thirties, a bit fat and her curly red hair is unwashed. Can generally be seen to be smiling faintly, with unfocused eyes. Wears a silvery cape and hood over the red "ENGINEERING" jumpsuit, with a big camera attached to her shoulder, a belt of grenades, and a rocket launcher slung on her back.
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.

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.

"Probably better that way. Doubt anyone really escapes them anyways. So whats up? You want something before we're all probably shot?"

"Well I wanted to ask what you knew about that dimension and if there is a way to sever its connection to ours or something, cause whatever just happened really can't be good, and since we are the people responsible for putting him away again last time, I figure he'd have it out for us. Ah, but it seems command has finally gotten their heads out of their asses and realized it's a serious situation. Too little too late, of course."

((Gonna assume this was said before poor Bill ended up as he is.  :v ))

1) Question: if I shoot the goop thrower, and have the auditor autonomous targeting system shoot a second goop thrower, does the goop thrower stacking rule (where it becomes 2d4 instead of 2 times 1d4) kick in? Get two extra ammo tanks regardless (2x30).

2) Buy a Hardsuit jetpack (quoted as 1600/5 = 320 omni before) and pay to have it installed/attached to the auditor if needed (how much?)

3) Get insurance for the auditor-jetpack body (tops out at 100).

4) Buy toolkit (200).

5) How much for a box of (scrap) metal for use with the ferromagnetic accelerator that do d10 damage? 

6) Try to see what kind of auditor is talking to us.

1. Biorhythm tracker: Allows the tracking of a single target. Their outline will appear on the user's vision from any distance, through any material. Tracking can be initiated with line of sight OR DNA sampling.
Samples: Sam, Bob
2. Autonomous targeting system: Allows for a second weapon to be fired as a secondary attack even after firing the standard single attack. Weapon must be held in the other hand and uses suit parameters instead of user skill. Light weapons use dex, heavy use strength.
3. Ammunition Transmutation forge: Shoebox sized device that allows ammunition of one kind to be transmuted into a different kind of ammo. Not one to one, requires equal or greater monetary value of the input to get the output. Ie a 20 omni bullet would require the sacrifice of at least 20 omni worth of other ammo to make.
4. Weakness Analysis protocols: Automatically detects and displays the structural or biological weaknesses of any targeted enemy.
5. Pulse Laser: Infinite use military grade laser fired from the point of the "Beak". Deals d12 but requires d6 turns to recharge after every use. Can use it on low-power setting to cut things open without having to recharge.
6. Micromissile Pack: Built into the hunched back, fires salvos of micromissiles that deal d6xd6 damage. Has a d4 use die. Guided via laser targeting using Gun skill.
7. OMNITECH ferromagnetic accelerator: Standard version of the system but built into the hands. Pick up metal objects and fire them. Damage dependent on object.
8. Wrist Mounted Shotguns: Same damage as "PUNCH!" shotgun (2d10 close, 2d6 medium, 2d4 long). current use die: d6/d6

((Baldwin's main contributions to the team have been scientific ones so far, but it seems like he'll have to do some fighting himself this time. Unfortunately, Baldwin is lacking in both weaponry and armour, having previously chosen to purchase powerful, but consumable versions of these instead [Explosives and the reactive shield generator]. It would make shopping a lot easier for me if I could use the occult gun for this mission which will allow me to pool all my money into armour and get a nice OMNITECH Jumpsuit with 2d6 life, plus rockets.

Otherwise, I'll have to settle for an occult tentacle and armoured spacesuit, none of which are that good at this phase in the game [although protection from the vaccum of space might be really important this time.]))


Though he now had a couple of missions under his belt, Baldwin was still a newcomer relative to some of his other teammates and as a result, he had no knowledge of who this derp fellow was and why his release was so catastrophic. Nothing could have prepared him for the videos on the monitor.

"OH GOD! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! I know command can be stubborn jackasses, but they didn't deserve this!"

Baldwin turns towards Will.

"What am I gonna do? I was an architect! I got this job by mistake and only stuck around cause I thought I was good at it, but clearly I'm not if Dr. Psycho here is out for our blood!"

He says while gesturing towards the auditor. Then he turns his office chair away from everyone and towards a wall and starts muttering to himself.

"I'm not a fighter, I'm not a fighter, I'm not a fighter..." over and over again...

Since I'm not sure how much Piecewise is going to let me stall the game for the sake of RP, I'm going to assume someone slaps some sense into Baldwin eventually. When that happens, Baldwin accepts the wager by virtue of having no other choice and begs Will to let him use the occult gun for the suicide mission. In exchange, he promises to be Will's personal bodyguard for this mission and prioritize threats that go towards him first.

Pay nothing to the loan shark and let the interest accumulate for this turn. Blindly take the "cursed" rifle Will is handing to him.

If Will doesn't loan the gun:

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 5
    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.

    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.

2 levelups into guns (still hadn't used the one from last mission), used 1500 OMNIbucks to purchase microwave gun and 10 for a magic 888-ball.

Can I get a description of the microwave gun? How it looks and what functions it has, and how it works in combat? The Arsenal only had stats but no description.

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

[syvarris]

Level Fate to d12, Gun to d12.  Buy a transient psychokinetic stim for 250, and two euphoria generators for 200 (I assume these are grenades; if they're reusable I guess I only need one.  Also if they're reusable Wilfred will use it immediately after purchase.)  Edit: A placed charge for 150, too.

Baldwin can have the occult gun.  Wil would definitely not give him the thing IC, but OOC I did kinda... well, scare people, I guess.  I swear I didn't think that would really work.  Or do anything.  Edit: Baldwin must ALSO take the Cold Comfort rifle, which has seen all its users die.  No reason.  It's definitely not actually cursed.

...Oh, and Wil only got paid 500, despite his promotion putting him to 650 base pay.  I don't really have anything to spend the money on, else I wouldn't tempt fate by pointing this out... but y'know.  Money.  :3


"Huh." Is all Wilfred has to say at first, when his supervisors appear, dead.  "Wish I got to be the one to do that.  I could still make it worse for them if you want, I could get their ghosts!  Anyways, yeah, I'm in for blood!  You don't even have to ask, I wanna break more shit!"

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.

Disasters caused:
--Attacked a ghost god and maybe accidentally broke the barrier between ghosts and reality, I've never understood what happened there.
--Opened a portal to HELL during the Derp mission, between that and... other actions, directly caused the deaths of six or seven teammates?  Didn't kill Derp, which could be considered to be a disaster!
--Accidentally destroyed a hospital and army with a ghost nuke and a fifteen foot tall skeleton kaiju.  Murdered or destroyed almost everyone and everything with significant details about our mission goal.  Animated a good chunk of a dead city into a colossal mecha in order to fight a former teammate who went full evangelion.  Generally killed a lot of civilian NPCs, but the only PC kill definitely deserved it!
--Gave Derp control of the pain dimension while trying to get him tortured.  Caused the executions of almost all our supervisors.  Wasn't specifically punished, somehow.

Wears a silvery cape and hood over the red "ENGINEERING" jumpsuit, with a big camera attached to her shoulder, a belt of grenades, and a rocket launcher slung on her back.
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 an unassuming gray brick of a gun that most resembles a P90 as designed by someone with an intense passion for straight lines and 90 degree angles. 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. The solid metal construction is further enhanced with embedded weights to make the weapon both balanced and capable of more powerful strikes.  Has the word “BATON” stenciled on one side and “SECURITY” on the other.
OMNITECH electrical behavior modification implant
    A standard “contractual obligation enforcing” implant given to all Security personnel. Allows supervisors to inflict “Electrical Guidance” to the security agent if they are, in the supervisor’s opinion, acting incorrectly.

Yes.

"Probably better that way. Doubt anyone really escapes them anyways. So whats up? You want something before we're all probably shot?"

"Well I wanted to ask what you knew about that dimension and if there is a way to sever its connection to ours or something, cause whatever just happened really can't be good, and since we are the people responsible for putting him away again last time, I figure he'd have it out for us. Ah, but it seems command has finally gotten their heads out of their asses and realized it's a serious situation. Too little too late, of course."

((Gonna assume this was said before poor Bill ended up as he is.  :v ))

1) Question: if I shoot the goop thrower, and have the auditor autonomous targeting system shoot a second goop thrower, does the goop thrower stacking rule (where it becomes 2d4 instead of 2 times 1d4) kick in? Get two extra ammo tanks regardless (2x30).

2) Buy a Hardsuit jetpack (quoted as 1600/5 = 320 omni before) and pay to have it installed/attached to the auditor if needed (how much?)

3) Get insurance for the auditor-jetpack body (tops out at 100).

4) Buy toolkit (200).

5) How much for a box of (scrap) metal for use with the ferromagnetic accelerator that do d10 damage? 

6) Try to see what kind of auditor is talking to us.

There is no need to explain your actions and no point in mounting a defense. Every action has been carefully scrutinized. Guilt and innocence are already known. Instead, you area here because I am offering you a wager of your own. Will you buy your lives with blood?

-auditor-
1. Biorhythm tracker: Allows the tracking of a single target. Their outline will appear on the user's vision from any distance, through any material. Tracking can be initiated with line of sight OR DNA sampling.
Samples: Sam, Bob
2. Autonomous targeting system: Allows for a second weapon to be fired as a secondary attack even after firing the standard single attack. Weapon must be held in the other hand and uses suit parameters instead of user skill. Light weapons use dex, heavy use strength.
3. Ammunition Transmutation forge: Shoebox sized device that allows ammunition of one kind to be transmuted into a different kind of ammo. Not one to one, requires equal or greater monetary value of the input to get the output. Ie a 20 omni bullet would require the sacrifice of at least 20 omni worth of other ammo to make.
4. Weakness Analysis protocols: Automatically detects and displays the structural or biological weaknesses of any targeted enemy.
5. Pulse Laser: Infinite use military grade laser fired from the point of the "Beak". Deals d12 but requires d6 turns to recharge after every use. Can use it on low-power setting to cut things open without having to recharge.
6. Micromissile Pack: Built into the hunched back, fires salvos of micromissiles that deal d6xd6 damage. Has a d4 use die. Guided via laser targeting using Gun skill.
7. OMNITECH ferromagnetic accelerator: Standard version of the system but built into the hands. Pick up metal objects and fire them. Damage dependent on object.
8. Wrist Mounted Shotguns: Same damage as "PUNCH!" shotgun (2d10 close, 2d6 medium, 2d4 long). current use die: d6/d6
9. Palm mounted Carbines: Same as Pinpoint Carbine. current use die: d6/d6

((Assume away))

1. Yes, though you may want to remind me of that fact the first time you do it. You know how I am.
2. Lets go 350 total. So 30 install.
3. 100 it is then.
4. Done.
5. Damage is generally decided by size, density, and shape. So any sufficiently large chunk of iron will work. We'll give ya a box with d6 chunks in it for...50 Omni. Should give you a fair number of shots, luck permitting.
6. Its a bit hard to say; he was barely visible before and now, rear lit like he is, you can't see any details other than his silhouette.  However, you don't believe he's one of the options they had available to you. His head shape is...different from any of them. The shape of the head is larger, more flared out like some sort of tribal sun mask or something like that. Maybe he's some sort of unique "Command" type?

A worthy answer.

Pay back 5 omni to the shark, then retrieve my items from the lost and found box if possible. Also, yes I’ll wager.
Edit- also buy 4 auto cannot magazines for 80 omni

((Baldwin's main contributions to the team have been scientific ones so far, but it seems like he'll have to do some fighting himself this time. Unfortunately, Baldwin is lacking in both weaponry and armour, having previously chosen to purchase powerful, but consumable versions of these instead [Explosives and the reactive shield generator]. It would make shopping a lot easier for me if I could use the occult gun for this mission which will allow me to pool all my money into armour and get a nice OMNITECH Jumpsuit with 2d6 life, plus rockets.

Otherwise, I'll have to settle for an occult tentacle and armoured spacesuit, none of which are that good at this phase in the game [although protection from the vaccum of space might be really important this time.]))


Though he now had a couple of missions under his belt, Baldwin was still a newcomer relative to some of his other teammates and as a result, he had no knowledge of who this derp fellow was and why his release was so catastrophic. Nothing could have prepared him for the videos on the monitor.

"OH GOD! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! I know command can be stubborn jackasses, but they didn't deserve this!"

Baldwin turns towards Will.

"What am I gonna do? I was an architect! I got this job by mistake and only stuck around cause I thought I was good at it, but clearly I'm not if Dr. Psycho here is out for our blood!"

He says while gesturing towards the auditor. Then he turns his office chair away from everyone and towards a wall and starts muttering to himself.

"I'm not a fighter, I'm not a fighter, I'm not a fighter..." over and over again...

Since I'm not sure how much Piecewise is going to let me stall the game for the sake of RP, I'm going to assume someone slaps some sense into Baldwin eventually. When that happens, Baldwin accepts the wager by virtue of having no other choice and begs Will to let him use the occult gun for the suicide mission. In exchange, he promises to be Will's personal bodyguard for this mission and prioritize threats that go towards him first.

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 5
    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.

    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.

Buy two squirrel-bots (100 OMNI), a laser trip sensor (25 OMNI), and a Thermite Charge. (75 OMNI)

Shoot Will with an entire magazine of pistol ammo, because it won't hurt Will and getting the entire team assigned to a penal mission is something someone should care about.

You empty an entire magazine into Wilfred's metal...face area. No one attempts to stop you.

The choice of where to die is the greatest freedom of mankind. If you wish it to be here, then I will honor that desire.

Leveled, Bought, Gunned.

Precisely. Next time, prevent it.

Gripping his new microwave gun with two tentacles, Edward inches closer to Yagyu and points at him with a third tentacle

"I'll, uh, be following the big man here. You know, to hide behind."


Off to the penal legion we go then.

2 levelups into guns (still hadn't used the one from last mission), used 1500 OMNIbucks to purchase microwave gun and 10 for a magic 888-ball.

Can I get a description of the microwave gun? How it looks and what functions it has, and how it works in combat? The Arsenal only had stats but no description.

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

Leveled, etc.

The Microwave gun is a big chunky rifle, its got six exposed soda can sized capacitors running in two rows of three along upper left and right of its body and what looks like some sort of satellite dish instead of a normal barrel. Its essentially a super powered Klystron which produces microwaves. These function similarly to microwaves used commercially, vibrating molecules to produce heat. Works best against fleshy targets but also functions against electronics. Difficult to use though due to having to tune the frequency for distance.

Level Fate to d12, Gun to d12.  Buy a transient psychokinetic stim for 250, and two euphoria generators for 200 (I assume these are grenades; if they're reusable I guess I only need one.  Also if they're reusable Wilfred will use it immediately after purchase.)  Edit: A placed charge for 150, too.

Baldwin can have the occult gun.  Wil would definitely not give him the thing IC, but OOC I did kinda... well, scare people, I guess.  I swear I didn't think that would really work.  Or do anything.  Edit: Baldwin must ALSO take the Cold Comfort rifle, which has seen all its users die.  No reason.  It's definitely not actually cursed.

...Oh, and Wil only got paid 500, despite his promotion putting him to 650 base pay.  I don't really have anything to spend the money on, else I wouldn't tempt fate by pointing this out... but y'know.  Money.  :3


"Huh." Is all Wilfred has to say at first, when his supervisors appear, dead.  "Wish I got to be the one to do that.  I could still make it worse for them if you want, I could get their ghosts!  Anyways, yeah, I'm in for blood!  You don't even have to ask, I wanna break more shit!"

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.

Disasters caused:
--Attacked a ghost god and maybe accidentally broke the barrier between ghosts and reality, I've never understood what happened there.
--Opened a portal to HELL during the Derp mission, between that and... other actions, directly caused the deaths of six or seven teammates?  Didn't kill Derp, which could be considered to be a disaster!
--Accidentally destroyed a hospital and army with a ghost nuke and a fifteen foot tall skeleton kaiju.  Murdered or destroyed almost everyone and everything with significant details about our mission goal.  Animated a good chunk of a dead city into a colossal mecha in order to fight a former teammate who went full evangelion.  Generally killed a lot of civilian NPCs, but the only PC kill definitely deserved it!
--Gave Derp control of the pain dimension while trying to get him tortured.  Caused the executions of almost all our supervisors.  Wasn't specifically punished, somehow.

Bought. They're grenades, yes.

Cursed gun and Other cursed gun handed off.

You can get that extra 150. Very grudgingly.

The Auditor just sort of stares at you. You think. He has no eyes so hard to say he "stares" at anything but he's definitely perceiving you with a notable degree of annoyance.

Were the cyborg gorilla and the anime orangutan among the punished present at our meeting?

No, actually. Remember they were off talking to management which is why they left Bill to oversee things. They got a stern talking to about choosing subordinates better but that's it.

Give the wooden doll to Baldwin.

Spoiler: explosives "engineer" Kora (click to show/hide)

Name: "Kora"
Physical Description: A generally unimpressive woman in her thirties, a bit fat and her curly red hair is unwashed. Can generally be seen to be smiling faintly, with unfocused eyes. Wears a silvery cape and hood over the red "ENGINEERING" jumpsuit, with a big camera attached to her shoulder, a belt of grenades, and a rocket launcher slung on her back.
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.
