Turn 115
I learn how to easily use the mental link to accurately determine the location of minds nearby the linked individual.
(6+1=6) You sit down and plunge yourself into a trance, focusing solely on the input you are getting from the woman's mind, you see through her eyes, hear through her ears, essentially you are her. And now that you focus this hard you begin to be able to prod at the minds of those near her, gaining a good sense of their location compared to yours. You keep prodding at the minds of people near her, soon finding that it isn't all that hard, and then decide that you've practiced enough. This is when you make a rather worrying discovery, your mind seems to be stuck in control of her body, and you can't seem to dislodge yourself.
I run back to the fortress, and duck inside a public building, trying to stay hidden. If someone spots me and my M16, I practice my lying by saying that I am an agent of SHIELD.
If it fails, I make a tidal-wave of fire and destroy everything in front of me.
(1+1=2) You run in the direction you believe the fortress is in, but you seem to have lost your orientation, and can't find your way back there. Not wanting to be lost and alone in unknown territory you duck inside a small corner shop, trying to stay hidden behind the shelves,
(5) but the owner spots you, and your large weapon, quickly ducking behind the counter and pulling a pistol from under it, screaming at you to get down and drop the weapon.
You calmly turn to him, making sure not to touch the gun, and say, “Sir, I'm an operative of SHIELD, I have reason to believe that there are dangerous mutants around here. My job is to find them and take care of them, and it would be a lot easier if you'd cooperate.”
(6) He leaps over the counter, and snaps a sharp salute at you, “I want to help, those bastards have caused too much damage already, it's time someone took them down! I am John Richardson, I was a colonel back in 'Nam.”
Let's go see if there is anything valuable and expensive to steal. Like maybe from a museum or something.
(3) You decide to find a museum to steal something from it, because money is never a bad thing, and you can never have too much of it. There is only one small problem with your plan, you actually have no idea where you can find a museum. A bank then? Wall Street would probably be the place to find banks. The problem is that you don't know exactly where that is either, and teleporting around aimlessly can lead to rather unpleasant side effects, such as loss of limb or life.
Find a spot (preferably on a rooftop) to hide and observe the helicopters from. If they get close enough then use the EMP weapon on them.
(3) You jog around, looking for a building to climb onto, and it doesn't take all that long to find one. So you climb to the roof and sit down, waiting to see if any helicopter will get close enough for you to hit it with your EMP weapon. Though you might be too far from the fortress to be of much use, and you feel rather pointless just sitting there.
I make one last effort to complete the poisonous stabbing tentacle while still maintaining my distance.
(1+1=2) Your try to find the time to stop for long enough to complete your little project, but the creature chasing you does not seem to willing to stop for long enough to let you do that.
Screw the helicopters, I want to be able to wallrun and will practise doing so again.
(5) You ignore the sound of approaching helicopters, and instead continue trying to run on the walls. It does not work very well at first, only leading to you falling off again and again, but then comes the revelation, the consummation of all your hard work; You manage to run on the wall. After raising your arms to the skies for a few moments to yell out your victory for all the world to hear you get back to practicing, soon becoming rather good at it.
I order the drone to build another drone.
(4) You sternly tell the drone to construct a copy of itself, and it immediately replies, “Yes, meatbag-leader,” and gets to work.
*Claims and wears one of the PA-bracelets and enters the building. I'll refit myself in my armor and weapons and have Rebecca do the same.
If possible I'll practice dodging while she practices her throwing, using small rocks or what-not.*
"The bracelets apparently amplify special abilities, so if you want to try one on it's up to you. I've no idea what the effect will be like though."
(2) You put on one of the bracelets, but can feel no real difference, you feel lucky as always. So you go about gathering up your equipment, and then spend some time getting rocks thrown at you by Rebecca as you both try to train.
Exit, and tell Zach to get inside the front room of the fort. Draw a repulsive shield around fort.
(6+1=6) You tell your demonic servant to guard the gates, and he goes off to do so without question. Then you decide to improve the defenses somewhat, and go about drawing a line of infant's blood mixed with saltpeter around the perimeter of what used to be the junkyard, muttering an incantation as you do so. Once you've completed a full circle the line starts to glow, and you head inside to construct a power source for the shield. You take a ruby and carve some arcane symbols into it, and then encase it in glass, carving some arcane symbols into the glass as well. The ruby start to glow brightly, and you construct a pedestal to channel its power in the large central chamber. Immediately a swirling shield of shadow appears around the fortress, and some investigation reveals that it is in fact nearly impenetrable, from both directions.
I practice metal manipulation on some metal in one of the larger rooms.
(4+1+1=6) You enter one of the larger rooms and start to twist the metal aimlessly, but find this to be far to easy a task to even be stimulating. So you decide to make this your chambers, you did build the fortress after all, so it is only fair that you get a large room. You start shaping chairs and tables, a bed and some computer stations, and soon you have a lavishly furnished bedroom, or at least it would be if it wasn't all made from metal. To top it all off you create a scale replica of Michelangelo's David, but with your head. You actually managed to learn a bit about constructing things from metal from this.
Enemy Actions:Chase Mutosis
(5) She manages to catch up to her fleeing prey, and lunge at him,
(1) and he has his back turned and so doesn't see it coming.
(1-1-1+1=1) She latches onto his back with her chest-mouth, and starts chewing, causing massive damage to his torso,
(6) but he manages to detach himself from her maw, the skin under his clothes visibly crawling as his mutational powers subconsciously go to work on the damaged area,
(3) slowing the bleeding. He then starts running again, trying his best to gain some distance to her.
Allied/Neutral Actions:Put on armband, practice throwing
(5) She grabs an armband and puts it on, but it doesn't seem to do anything at all, so she puts it back again, and then starts training her throwing with Blarney, getting somewhat better at it.
Get ready
(5) He finds a good place from where he can fire upon the helicopters if they come close enough, and then wait with his big flabbergasting gun at the ready.
Guard the gates
(3) There isn't much to do there for the moment, so he mostly just sits there and looks at them.
Build another
(1) It flies around for a few minutes, gathering up a pathetically small pile of components, and then stares at them. After some more time it flies over to Xen, “I do not have schematics for myself, Meatbag-Leader. I cannot construct more of me without them.”
Environment:
(5) The sky is crowded as a myriad of helicopters fly over the town, landing all over the place. But so far they seem to have missed you.
