Question: can I use my tweak the odds ability in addition to performing a normal action?
It uses up a turn, so... no. It's just a support ability.
Wait, you can. The penalty is the -3 to dodge rolls.

Meta: Offer severed robot arm to Frelock and Medi-bot. Ask GM what the second challegne is. Also, to define love. baby don't hurt me

Fantasy: Inquire as to the price of the sloop, then find somebody who seems capable of making the Grappling Hook and Harpoon Gun one with my arm. Perhaps that fellow who knows about SCIENCE!



He can't get a 1 every time, right? Riiiiiiiight?

Okay, one action left. It's... Dermonster? Weird. He's usually the first to post.

Also, I forgot to ask: what do you think of that soundtrack thingy? I thought of it at the last minute. Do any of you use it?

I have not, but that's largely because I've been clogging my bandwidth with Steam Downloads. So, at 87kb/s, I'll start listening to the soundtrack in about... 3 months.

I didn't see the update. >.<

RW: Rest my leg, wait for others to get to elevator.

FW: Go with them. Try to slow the journey significantly in small ways, though.

Okay, NOW things are underway. In the meta world, at least. So... at some point we need to fast-forward to midnight to continue the story. Finish up what you need to do now, but if you don't all agree on when to fast-forward then time will collapse on itself you'll be calling your turns from different time periods! Anyway...

**********~
Turn 7
**********~


META TURN:

Where to next? This ship is huge...

Goals
Escape this ship, however we can.

Current Soundtrack
Sanctuary

Actions
Meta: Talk to the medi-robot about replacement arms.
(...) You reactivate the medi-bot and ask about limb replacement.
"AS A CLASS M4 MEDICAL DROID, I AM CAPABLE OF BASIC PROSTHETIC LIMB REPLACEMENT. THIS MEDICAL BAY CONTAINS THE SUPPLIES NECESSARY FOR A SIMPLE PROSTHETIC LIMB. THE OPERATION WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR. MORE ADVANCED MATERIALS AND SURGICAL EQUIPMENT CAN BE FOUND IN THE CRYOGENICS AND PROSTHETICS LABORATORY IN THE CENTRAL MEDICAL BAY. THE CENTRAL MEDICAL BAY CAN BE FOUND ON THE MAIN DECK OF THIS VESSEL. DO YOU REQUIRE FURTHER ASSISTANCE?"
Meta:
Go to the elevator, Riding the Gorden-Mobile.
(...) You need more practice with this thing, apparently. You try to ride to the elevator, and immediately crash into the wall again.
Meta: Offer severed robot arm to Frelock and Medi-bot. Ask GM what the second challegne is. Also, to define love. baby don't hurt me
(...) You walk into the med bay to ask if the medical robot can use the robo-arm as a prosthetic limb for Frederick.
"I HAVE INSUFFICIENT MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT TO PERFORM CYBERNETIC ENHANCEMENTS."
Next, you decide to ask the GM about the next challenge.
"GLAD YOU ASKED."
Suddenly, you hear a skittering noise outside...
Meta: heal. appraise the medical lab's stuff.
(...) That bores you, so you decide to steal a box of gauze and some syringes labeled "Stimpak" instead!
RW: Rest my leg, wait for others to get to elevator.
(...) Well... this is boring. You hum show-tunes in the elevator by yourself!

Locations



EARTH!

Interrogation Room 7E-365 (Deck M3): You were all shackled to chairs in here when you woke up. The door has been dropkicked off its hinges. There's circuitry on the walls, a row of monitors, and a row of 5 chairs.

Medical Bay (Deck M3): It's got a ton of medical supplies, a surgical table, and a medical robot.

Janitor's Closet (Deck M3): Full of precious cleaning supplies!

Central Medical Bay (Main Deck): The main medical bay.

Cryogenics and Prosthetics Lab: It's in the central medical bay. Sounds interesting.

Meta: Ask GM how he feels about metagaming. Prepare to destroy anything that comes through the medbay door.

Fantasy: Discreetly evaluate the militia presence at the shipyard, then search for SIDE QUEST!!!


At this rate, we'll be orchestrating a kidnapping AND a prison break. Good times.

The dockmaster is right, you know. I'm not the sort to BUY a ship.

Fantasy: Go to the docks and haggle a lower price for the sloop.  Then buy it, if possible.

**********~
Turn 8
**********~


META TURN:

Uh oh...

Goals
Escape this ship, however we can.

Current Soundtrack
Darkness

Actions
RW: Peek outside the elevator.
(...) You peek outside the elevator to see what's making all the noise, and something mechanical leaps onto your face and begins scratching at you with mechanical claws! AAAAGGGHHH! Getitoffgetitoffgetitoffgetitoffgetitoffgetitoff!!
Meta:
Try to upgrade to Gordon-Mobile from stuff in the Medical room again.

(...) You manage to get back into the med bay, but can't find anything to upgrade the GM with. The skittering is getting louder now.
Meta: Ask GM how he feels about metagaming. Prepare to destroy anything that comes through the medbay door.
(...) "So, how do you feel about meta-gaming?"
"SEARCHING MEMORY BANKS FOR METAGAMING... MATCH FOUND. META-GAMING IS OCCASIONALLY A VITAL PART OF ROLL TO DODGE, AND HAS BEEN ACCEPTED AS A VIABLE STRATEGY. IF THIS REALITY WERE, IN FACT, ALSO A RTD, YOU COULD SAY THAT MENTAL ABILITIES IN THIS WORLD COULD AFFECT ACTIONS OF OTHER PLAYERS' CHARACTERS IN OUR CURRENT GAME OF RTD. NOW SHUT THE HELL UP MEATBAG."
The skittering is still getting louder, so you peek out of the medical bay. Spiders. Mechanical spiders the size of baseballs. There are hundreds of them, and they're coming this way from the crew quarters! Stepping into action, you begin wildly spraying the hall with plasma. There're too many! You can only barely hold them back! On the floors, the ceiling, the walls, EVERYWHERE! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! IT'S A BUG HUNT MAN, A BUG HUUUUUUUUNT!!!
Meta: Find a weapon.
(...) You manage to find a scalpel in one of the drawers. It's a start. Time to put this to use!
Meta: ask medbot for moar healing on my wounds.
(...) Ignoring the horde of mechanical spiders closing in on the med bay, you walk over to the med-bot and ask for more healing.
"ALL I CAN DO FOR NOW IS GIVE YOU THIS."
The med-bot injects you with more pain-relief serum and your hand feels stronger.
