I check my materials converter for exactly what it can do, and see if it can make any computer parts. I'll hide amongst the crowd if possible.

[5+1=6] You figure out the material converter can convert materials. You could, say, change a metal beam into glass or make a wall water. [3+1=4] You hide in the crowd, moving outside to the station with it. The effect of the stimulants soon wears off. Shame you didn't get a proper chance to use them.

Quickly tear apart the tracks and lights, recombining them into a vibroblade.
If I can't tear up the tracks that quickly, use the scrap from my inventory.


[6] Not taking any chances, you tear off the tracks and begin fashioning a vibroblade out of them. You even manage to create mechanical parts from them! [Power: 3] It's not particulary effective, and you could probably cause the same amount of damage with your fists, but it's still nice to have something with a bit of reach as well. [Size:4] It's a bigger than your normal blade, and you have to use both hands to carry it. Compensating for something? [Functionality: 5] Your simple and effective design has ensured excellent functionality and few if any malfunctions. [Fuel: 4] The charge is moderately long-lived. [1] Unfortunately, while you were working, you completely ignored your surroundings. You raise your head to see half a dozen hooded men have surrounded you.

Vibroblade added to Inventory!

Try that one last time, then get out of this friggen thing.

[3] You manage to break open a navigation computer of some sort, and loot the parts before heading out to the station platform.

A Little Scrap Metal added to Inventory!
Some Computer Parts added to Inventory!


More looting!

[4] You run around in joy, bashing open computer terminals and anything that looks even remotely interesting or shiny. [1] Like Doc Fuzz, you are completely engulfed in your work, and don't notice the three City troopers heading your way before it's too late.

Mechanical Parts increased to A Lot of Mechanical Parts!
Some Computer Parts increased to Computer Parts!


Quickly mash together a pair of nun-chucks from my scrap metal and then hide in the shadows.

[6] You construct a pair of makeshift nunchucks from your scrap with incredible speed. [Power: 3] They're not much more effective than your fists. [Size:3] They're average in size. [Functionality:2] They have nasty habit of stabbing you with bits of metal sticking out whenever you try to use them. [3] You crouch down in the corner of the carriage and hope nobody will see you if they come in.

Scrap Nun-chucks added to Inventory!
A Lot of Scrap Metal reduced to Scrap Metal!


Hide the Accelerator Carbine in my back pocket, and turn off the the THUNDA FIST, gather any scrap on the way up to the platform, and come up crying to the troopers.

[2] You strap the Carbine across your back where it's quite visible, and turn on the THUNDAFIST, which has been off all this time. [3] You pick up a couple pieces of scrap metal and then rush up the station and to where the City troopers are, screaming for help.

Background Roll: [5] The figures - hooded men in simple clothes and robes - enter the train from one side, while on the other side they circle around Doc Fuzz. The nearby gunfire has died out, but continues on farther away.

Quote from: City Troopers
Fucking looters, they're everywhere.

[6] The lead trooper, a lieutenant of some kind, only mutters curses about looters and pushes his way past Taric. They see the crowds on the station platform and he attempts to calm them down. [2] It doesn't work very well, and the frustrated crowd of passengers and crewmen begin all shouting questions at him.

Quote from: Hooded Men
Well, well, what do we have here?

[6] The men surrounding Doc Fuzz seem angry at first, but their leader silences them with a few words. He drops his hood, revealing a young man with dirty hair and remarkably piercing eyes.

' My name's Ludd. Would you happen to be a... hehe, scientist of some kind?'

Why don't you just build it? What is with you people just designing and planning?

Build a decoy cake out of metal that'll tempt anyone it's aimed at to eat it.

I answer "I prefer doctor, but scientist is also accurate."

Turn off the thunda fist and ask the guard why the hooded men are down there trying to murder the scientists.

Design a high-tech rifle.

[2] You fail to design anything. You loser.

Rush over to doc fuzz, switching the nanogun to the shotgun setting.

[5] You somehow realize Doc Fuzz has gone, and rush after him into the dark tunnel. You soon hit a solid wall of big, burly hooded men surrounding him. [5] Before anything bad happens, however, Ludd walks over and places a hand on your shoulder, smiling reassuringly. You explain you're a friend of Doc Fuzz.

Build a decoy cake out of metal that'll tempt anyone it's aimed at to eat it.

[4] You begin building a metal decoy cake. Unfortunately, you don't have any mechanical parts, so you can't make the 'lure people to eat it'-device yet. You construct a metal cake shell anyhow.

Decoy Cake Shell added to Inventory!
A Lot of Scrap Metal reduced to Scrap Metal!

[3] You mutter something about being a doctor, and Ludd's eyes light up. 'Excellent, excellent.' he says. 'We have something to show to you and your friend, then. Please follow me.' [3] The path back is effectively blocked by Ludd's hooded friends.

I pretend to be one of the crowd by loudly asking questions about what's going on.

[1] You try to blend in with the crowd, but fail spectacularily. You stumble and fall and the crowd steps back. Everybody's attention is now fixated on you. [2] The lead soldier hops down and helps you up. [1] He speaks up, identifying you as a scientist somehow; 'Sir, I'm afraid that in the name of national security, I must ask for your assistance.' he pauses; 'I also wish to remind you that martial law is in effect and my men can gun you down right here if you don't help us.'

Turn off the thunda fist and ask the guard why the hooded men are down there trying to murder the scientists.

[6] You shut down the THUNDAFIST and walk up to the guard, demanding to know how the city can allow murderous madmen to rampage in the tunnel network. When he doesn't immediately produce an answer, you proceed to shout him down, humiliating him right before his squad and the crowd. You grab him by the neck and raise him high in the air, growling like an animal of some kind. Once you let him go, he immediately promises to find these men and deal with them. Everybody else stares at you in amazement.

Background Roll: [3] Nobody's in the train anymore, but you guess the hooded men have moved further through the train towards the station.

Quote from: City Troopers
I... erm... move out, men.

[2] Too shocked by Lightning Hook's actions, the troopers fail to move out. Good thing too, otherwise they would've lost sight of Nirur.

Quote from: Ludd's Men
You two, with me. The rest of you, get moving.

[1] Ludd forgets to issue orders and everybody stands around, confused.

Punch a hole in the bottom of the cake shell and carve a pair of eyeholes out. Wear it like a hat and stroll into the crowd. I hug the person next to me, whoever it happens to be.
