Day 3 - 00:02 (Subject to Local Time Fluctuations)
After a quick and refreshing sleep, you check you mission objectives. Hmm... Looks like you still have to collect the $1000 for the end of the week, but otherwise your mission objectives are pretty empty right now.

Special: Silent Killer: Attacks are completely silent. Guards probably won't have overactive imaginations, so try to kill them with the first throw.
Backstab: DMG: 8 with a sneak attack.
Description: It's a knife. A nice knife, yes, but not the kind of knife that would warrant a long description. At best it'd probably have a really nice handle, or maybe a blade with no notches in it. Really, what can you do to snazz up a knife like this? Sure, you could add gold and jewels and other fancy stuff on it, but what's the point? For a common, average, work-a-day knife, you wouldn't want to fancy it up so much in case the you break or ruin it. What you want is a common, easy to get knife. That way, it's not some distinctive piece of evidence they can use when you stab a man with it. Knowing you, you'll stab a lot of men with it.

Tired from a long day of flirting, you fall asleep with dreams of Amber in your head. If this was some sort of movie, she would be in your bed when you awoke, but this is real(ish) life, and things like that don't happen. Plus if she did try it, you'd probably kill her in your sleep. After all, you didn't become an international man of intrigue by letting people enter your bedroom all willy-nilly.

Through your masterful command of the English language, you easily convince the vagabonds to turn the abandoned restaurant into a five-star eating establishment. The only problem is that the vagabonds don't actually own the place, so it'd be impossible to actually open anything without getting the deed to the building. But still, it's more-or-less yours now.

Special: Nighty Night: Sneak attacks with this weapon always knocks a target out, assuming that they have no protection against being knocked out.
Description: Unlike those common, run-of-the-mill clubs, this one is crafted with tender and loving care, greatly increasing its value. It's not deadlier than a regular golf club though. After all, at the end of the day you're still just hitting someone with a giant stick.
Golf Club: DMG: 1 RoF: 0 ACC: 45% CAP: 0
Special: Handicap: DMG: 2 when at less than 50% health.
Description: Not to be confused with a regular club, which the golf club pretends doesn't exist. Millions of people use this to whack little white spheres, when they could be using it to whack other people.
Pistol: DMG: 1 RoF: 2 ACC: 50% CAP: 12 (9mm)
Special: None.
Description: The USLE-55 was designed specifically for use by every other guy in the street. It's lightweight, easy to use, and weak enough to pose very little treat to anybody with half a knowledge of tactics.
SMG: DMG: 2 RoF: 6 ACC: 45% CAP: 24 (9mm)
(Equipped)Special: Spray and Pray: May make multiple attacks a round, at ACC: 33%
Description: As an entry-level SMG, the SrP could be worse. Sure, the gun is as flimsy as hell, and the sights are calibrated horribly, and the clips can accept only 24 rounds of ammo if you don't want the thing to jam...

After taking a quick nap, you look through the simple chemicals to figure out what you can make. Hmm... You could probably construct a crude explosive out of these chemicals. If you knew some more about chemistry you could probably make some simple drugs, but right now you have no clue what else you can make with them.
The guards that you knocked out are starting to stir.

Special: Ra-tat-tat: May attack twice a combat round.
Bullet Impediment: RoF is based on the roll of a d10. The RoF changes before each attack.
Description: The UM-45 is named for the fact that it sounds like a person with a speech impediment trying to imate the sound that a SMG makes. Besides a variable rate of fire, the gun is very reliable. Plus, it comes with a built-in ashtray, which is handy for the smoking crazied gunman.
Pistol: DMG: 1 RoF: 2 ACC: 50% CAP: 12 (9mm)

You check the area around the warehouse, 'just in case'. To your immense luck and/or disbelief, you manage to find an overturned and unguarded IKEA truck. You loot some furniture and drag them back to the warehouse. Attaching cardboard to the shelving units makes for an impromptu wall, which you use to set up a bedroom in the warehouse. When you finish with your construction, the guards start to stir.

Special: Aim For The Head: 15% chance to do DMG: 12 on a hit. 100% chance vs. zombies.
Description: A sawn-off Bethesda P-99. Why they had to use a Bethesda P-99 is beyond you, since it doesn't really seem like a good weapon to make a sawn-off with. Still, if you ever wanted to fight a hoard of zombies, look no further. Works well against a horde of zombies too.
Shotgun: DMG: 2 RoF: 1 ACC: 40% CAP: 6 (7 Gauge)
Special: Come At Me Bro: DMG: 4 and ACC: 75% while out of cover.
Description: Small yet powerful, the Bethesda P-99 is useful for those who aren't afraid to take risks, or stand in the middle of a firefight blowing people's limbs off.
Revolver: DMG: 1 RoF: 1 ACC: 50% CAP: 6 (.34)
Special: I Am The Law: ACC 75% against criminals.
Description: The revolver has been a tool of law agencies everywhere, mostly because they are too lasy to purchase new guns. While the .34 revolver isn't as glamorious as the .44 Magmum or .666 Hellblaster, it gets the job done when you need it most. Unless you're facing a tank that is. Then you're on your own.

To celebrate the establishment of a base of operations, those members who actually have a base have received a basewarming muffin, to enjoy, treasure and eventually consume. Since Project EVIL seems to have a surplus of root vegetables, members without a base of operations have received a potato to shame them into making one so that they don't feel left out.
Also note that due to local time fluctuations, member John Smith can still enter its actions for this turn.
