"Oh, don't look at me like that. He isn't dead, only unconscious. Now keep still and this'll all be over. And hopefully our paths won't cross again."
Bash McSecurity in the pressure point at the back of the neck hard enough with the baton to knock him out, but not kill him, then put my pistol, any ammo, the baton, and whatever I may have dropped into my tote-bag, then high-tail it to the crate warehouse, making absolutely sure not to be seen this time.
After bashing Graeme McSecurity on the head you pick up your pistol, two (empty) stun-guns and two glorified clubs before exiting through the half-open gate. If you're fast enough you might be able to make it to the crate warehouse before-
Day 4 - 08:33 (Getting on with it)
Meth lab? Please, this is 20XX, and nobody does Meth anymore. No, instead we do slightly similar drugs with odd names, like Bubble, KAS and Med-X for you veteran types.
Thus suitably informed about the drug situation in the city, you head out to a nearby hardware store to start your very own drug lab. Unfortunately you lack the money for a really high quality lab, but $150 dollars gets you enough buckets, tubing and jars to get you started.
Luckily none of the orphans escaped this turn, and they even managed to produce 15 more wallets. Yay!

You consume the suspicious glowing liquid, and then set about the highly important business of making things explode. After a couple minutes you start feeling liquid inspiration start coursing through your veins. Well, either that or all of your organs are shutting down simultaneously. You can't really tell, and you don't really care. Finally, after several hours of preparation, your mixture is almost complete. All you have to do is add a little bit of gasoline to get it to sublimate...
...
...
...
Huh, usually the GM would make the mixture explode or something. Better give it a couple more minutes just to be safe.
...
...
...
After waiting for a good half-hour for safety reasons, you take a chunk of the (now solid) mixture and carefully mould it into the casing of your home-made grenades.
Prof. Kane Wilson has invented UsmokThrumok-I, a Molotov Sticky-grenade!Well that was surprisingly easy. Well, easy for you at least. For other people it would be mind-numbingly difficult.

Named Weapons:UT-I: DMG: 8 RoF: 1 ACC: 65% CAP: 0 x 3
Consumes 2 Innovation Points.Special: Grenade: This weapon is a grenade and can be thrown with a 45% chance of landing where you want it to.
Sticky, Burny Death: This grenade sticks to its target, whether it's a person, vehicle or the ground. When stuck it cannot be removed, and the blast will be centred around the target it is stuck to (thus if you hit a person, the blast will hit the poor sap and whoever is around him). Additionally, if the grenade is fumbled, then it will automatically stick to the thrower. This grenade causes fire damage to whoever it hits.
Named Explosive: Only by forgetting the recipe for the UT-I will the innovation points it consumes be released. Running out of UT-Is will not release those innovation points, but creating more of these grenades will not cost you additional innovation points. Three UT-Is can be made using four basic chemicals and one can of biofuel.
Description: The UT-I is based around a highly secretive, and slightly unstable, chemical mixture that's basically napalm turned up to 11. It makes an effective anti-personnel grenade, since it is able to create a fireball hot enough to immolate anything caught inside of it. Of course the UT-I isn't exactly the highest quality grenade in the world, which means that it's deadliness is greatly reduced.
Weapons:Glorified Club: DMG: 1 RoF: 0 ACC: 45% CAP: 0
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...

You decide to head to the address you were given and check out this restaurant. A couple hours of walking finds yourself standing in an alleyway, opposite 'The Golden Truffle". Evidently this is the building you were sent to protect, judging by the number of large, burly men arguing with the head-waiter in front of the building. It's hard to hear what they're talking about but arggguguggaga.

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.

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.

Special: Liquid Angony: Stuns enemies for 1-3 combat rounds on a hit, provided that the enemy can be stunned or isn't immune to electrical weaponry.
'Non-Lethal' My Ass: 5% chance to kill an enemy with a heart attack on a hit. Obviously not a problem if the enemy doesn't have a heart to begin with.
Description: As technology advances, the effectiveness of long-range non-lethal weaponry will only decline in strength and powerful. Before you know it we'll have jetpacks, sicksticks, scantilly clad women who can predict crime before it happens, but no way to subdue a criminal who's a couple feet outside your reach. It's a shame, I tell ya. Better enjoy this taser pistol while it lasts.
Glorified Club: DMG: 1 RoF: 0 ACC: 45% CAP: 0 x 2
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.
