I ride with Paranatural. On the way to stores I download and read a book, titled "Weapon Making For Novices, or Get Rid Of That Pesky -1 In Two Turns".

This RTD is not dying okay. I'm just having problems with a virus on my regular computer. Turns will now come slower unfortunately.

Turn 4: Middle Mangaline

My stun gun isn't showing in my inventory.

"Ok, Boys, let's move out.", then I lead the team out to our vehicles. "Allright, it's obvious this crap won't be good enough for us. Hell, some of this stuff isn't even charged. Let's fix that." I'll dive us out to some hardware/weaponry store and see what we can get to upgrade what we have, or trade/sell it and buy better stuff.

1) you decide that this junk isn't actually worth it, so you lead everyone out of the station and out to your car. Outside is the beautiful city of Mangaline. you are at the 300th floor, meaning that you are at the third level of the city. Mangalin is a multi level city with new sections of streets every 100 floors. (meaning that what you are looking at appears to be a ground floor, but is actually very high up.)

You suddenly begin thinking about how different the future actually is compared to what people from... 2010 might have thought it would be. You take the way Mangaline looks for example. It’s a 5 level city that uses multiple pillars around the edges and even some sky scrapes that span multiple levels to hold the whole city up. trees line the streets. If it’s in walking distance, people will often travel on foot or bike or other human powered source of transport. Many people don’t even own cars and use the skylines instead. (Skylines are subways that run on predetermined route in the sky to different stations. The routes show up as holographic, see-through tubes in the sky to prevent accidental collisions with flying vehicles.)

Most of the flying traffic is actually only a couple of stories off of the streets while the space above that is often used by bounty hunters for races. The center of the city is a large park with grass and trees and paths and all that other stuff.

As the narrator decides to be lenient with your low roll and explain how some of the future works, your mates get tired of waiting for you and decide to take Diablous’s car instead.

Shoot the Narrator... If that fails, ask when we leave...

also I wanted a knife too...

6) The narrator bargains with you, saying that he’ll make the chief look the other way so you can have a plasma sword and a knife if you don’t shoot him. You agree happily, getting more than what you want. You follow Paranatural out of the building.

Inventory: Plasma Knife, Plasma blade

Using my weapon mechanics skills, along with the reformer to use as a tool, I'll upgrade the stun gun to fire a concentrated emp blast, along with a high voltage of electricity, allowing it to kill both robots and humans.  And follow paranatural, and hop into the passenger seat on Diablous's car.
SHOTGUN!

1+1=2) deciding to tinker around with your gun, you get out your reformer and begin working on it. you can’t decide however whether to make it fire EMP blasts or electricity so you keep switching your mind and in the end come up with a bunch of gun pieces.

You then follow Diablous to his car and hop in the passenger seat.

Inventory: -stun gun, +gun scrap
+2 Weapon knowledge


To the weaponry store! You can ride in my car, kilakan.

6) You also follow Paranatural out to his car but get impatient with him. You tell everyone that Paranatural can meet you guys there and that taking your car would be better. Everyone agrees without hesitating and follows you to your car.

Your car is a green convertible with little imagination put into it. You unlock it and get in. Everyone else also gets in. You then turn it on and easily fly it into the sky. Feeling show-offy you rise above regular traffic and begin doing loops and corkscrews. 5) The Strikers don’t notice your fancy driving... well except for the nauseous one in the back seat.

+5 driving

I ride with Paranatural. On the way to stores I download and read a book, titled "Weapon Making For Novices, or Get Rid Of That Pesky -1 In Two Turns".

2) you follow Paranatural to his car, but decide to go with Diablous instead. On the way you think about how you might download a book with nothing to download it with.

Story Progress: 5) Diablous has been roaming the streets of Middle Mangaline his whole life. He knows them like the back of his hand. He knows exactly where he’s going. No, he’s not going to Josh’s Gun Shop, Chop-into-Little-Bits Land, or even Barnyard Bill’s Redneck Emporium. He’s going to a small shop that’s family owned on the 332nd floor called Blasters, Blades, and All You Can Blow-Up Grenades!!

He arrives at the parking lot that’s on the 330th floor for the local WallMart, then everyone takes the elevator up to the entrance of Blasters, Blades, and All You Can Blow-Up Grenades!! 

Meanwhile, Paranatural is getting lonely.

Okay, Now if everyone will look under Diablous’s Special Skills, you’ll see that he actually gained one. I had decided ever since I let Paranatural and Diablous have special skills that the only way to gain those kind of skills would be by getting lucky rolls on their turns and (more likely) in the ‘story progression’ part of every turn.

Hum....
With His Help, I'll  buy a rifle base, a knife, and take these components along with the gun parts, and build a weapon which fires electrically charged shells, with a bayonet attached to it's end. (Buy any other items I need at the store, and spend the rest of money of shells for my new weapon, if it works.)

Turn 5: I ain’t got no iPhone

Let's see whats for sale!

1) you trip as you go into the store. Since you were last, you knock everyone else over. 5) but everyone is unhurt. You continue into the shop and see that all of the new items are extremely expensive and out of your price range, but toward the back of the shop are piles of gun scrap that can be bought for as little as ten dollars... hmm...

Hum....

(Buy any other items I need at the store, and spend the rest of money of shells for my new weapon, if it works.)

1) you only have a hundred dollars you know... oh wait, when Diablous tripped everyone, it seems your wallet fell out of your pocket and must’ve somehow fell off the railing that is supposed to stop items from ending up on the streets below.

Either way, all the parts you need are way too expensive for you. You need money first.

Inventory: -$100

On a side note, a kid just found a wallet full of enough money for him to eat as much ice cream as he wants.

Help kilakan with his gun.

UPD: And buy a shield.

1) what’s with all these 1’s? You can’t help Kilikan because he doesn’t have anything for you to help with, so you decide to go and look for a shield. You look briefly at the cheap ones until you see a shining one: the Block Master 3000 Frontwards HoloShield. It’s able to withstand the force of a nuclear explosion. You are about to pick it up when you notice the price. $13,099.99.

YES!!! A 6!!!
AND A STORE!!!

Go buy a battery for my shield, and a few spares. I dont really know what this store has, so go scan (With my brain and eyes) the isles, for anything else that would be inside of my price range and such.

4) (Finally) as soon as you walk into the store, you notice that their are free charging stations set up all around. You decide to put your holoshield in and it begins charging. As it charges, you look around and see you can afford either a plasma blade ($99.90), a lazer pistol ($95.00), a Normal Holoshield ($89.95), and a set of short plasma claws ($70.00).

You retrieve your fully charged shield as you begin to think about what to get...

Inventory: Weak Holoshield.

I'm assuming we have some sorta smart phone like an iPhone or something.

Anyway I set mine to get me to where the rest are and hop in my sweet-ass ride and make for the others.

3) you don’t have a phone unfortunately. You believe that your watch can track your comrades, but you aren’t sure how.

Story Progression: since their hasn’t been any real progress, this will be an enemy roll for paranatural. We’ve got to kill someone keep him busy. 3) nothing really bad happens, but a store close to paranatural is being robbed by two armed figures.

Eh  not bad, but on a purchase roll critical failures shouldn't be so harsh, now on the other hand if you wanted to roll for my building first, and have me blow my arm off, I'd be okay with that.

Trade in Plasma Blade for holo-shield (and I know this will be risky but...) then ask one of my new mechanicaly inclined partners to interface the two shields together to make them work in sync, hopefully increasing protection abilities, while keeping power drainage at a nominal level...
Do this for evergod.
