9:55 PM <%soulonphone> Avery is here!
9:55 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca's in the dropship!
9:55 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> (it's already in flight. destination, Cambodia)
9:55 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri's doing gear check on the dropship for the fourth time in a row.
9:56 PM <Odocoileus> Tally is there all geared up!
9:56 PM <War_> Maddy reports, geared and armoured up.
9:58 PM ⇐ Hankolijo quit (moc.duolccri.llewkcorb.389538D7-CRInys|10447diu#moc.duolccri.llewkcorb.389538D7-CRInys|10447diu) Quit: Connection closed for inactivity
9:58 PM <NeonSkitty> Becky nods to Tally and Maddy, then to Snorri and Avery who she doesn't really know.
9:59 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Your destination is known, the temple complex you first met Commander Cooper and Theta-57. Now known as Site-71
9:59 PM Briefing will be there
9:59 PM <Odocoileus> Tally sits next to Becky and kicks her feet excitedly since they probably don't touch the ground as she sits.
9:59 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca's got a tote of equipment by her seat.
10:00 PM <Varren> Moira is walking in here "oye, filling in for Ezekiel because is is in a fish tank."
10:00 PM She was up front till now
10:01 PM <%soulonphone> (I’ll be slow till I get home)
10:01 PM <Odocoileus> "doctor mom you have been well, yes?"
10:02 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> The pilot's intercom activates, "Touching down at Site-71. Happy trails, folks."
10:02 PM You feel the dropship descend
10:02 PM <NeonSkitty> "Of course." She nods, then gets up, listing the hefty bag up to get ready to disembark.
10:02 PM <Varren> She tites her kraut space magic weapon and plops down where Ezekiel told her to. Murmuring about a lucky seat being bullshit.
10:03 PM <War_> Maddy appears to be…pretty tense. Last time he ran on a mission like this he got shot.
10:03 PM <Odocoileus> Tally is very ready.
10:04 PM She just hopes the plane doesn't crash this time.
10:05 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> The dropship lands, and the doors swing open. The jungle has never looked better. Trees have been cleared to allow for a helipad, and concrete footpaths have been made with those little lights to mark the way at night. Signs warning of active minefields off the path still remain and you see people, normal, non-Theta-57 Foundation staff going about their day.
10:05 PM And the weather is nice and sunny, yay happy
10:06 PM <NeonSkitty> "Hopefully you've all received your shots." She steps off of the dropship, carrying her tote-o-gear.
10:06 PM <Odocoileus> Tally looks like she is truly in her element and her face lights up.
10:07 PM She hops on out and sniffs the air a whole bunch.
10:07 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> It smells like the jungle
10:07 PM <Odocoileus> "it smells so nice~"
10:07 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri starts sweating almost immediately after he gets off the dropship.
10:07 PM <War_> Maddy likes the heat, thankfully.
10:07 PM Humidity however, not so much.
10:08 PM His jacket's tied at his waist not even five minutes off the dropship.
10:08 PM <Odocoileus> Tally is hopping around happily and seems absolutely elated to be in the jungle.
10:08 PM <TeslaTornado> \\ho shidd, corned beef is done, i'll brb
10:08 PM <Odocoileus> (bring some for meet)
10:08 PM *Mee
10:08 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri looks sweaty and miserable after about five steps. "I do not like jungles."
10:09 PM <%soulonphone> Avery sticks with Maddy.
10:09 PM <TeslaTornado> "This is miserable. I would like to go home, please."
10:09 PM <War_> "It's not…that bad."
10:09 PM "Kinda…"
10:09 PM <NeonSkitty> "Once we do our job, we can return."
10:09 PM <Odocoileus> "I love it! It is like home!"
10:09 PM <War_> "…humidity's gonna wreck my hair though."
10:10 PM <%soulonphone> Avery looks around, tense. During their ride here, he’s written some stuff on some paper and has been elusive about what’s on it.
10:10 PM <NeonSkitty> "I'll see this through, and I'm wearing leather. You can man up, mister Steffanson." Rebecca hums to herself.
10:10 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Mosquitos, sweat and humidity unable to destroy you, you make your way past Site-71 staff who smell of insect repellent and sweat and eventually come to the cave entrance to Site-71, where Theta-57 is standing outside in rows. Large, hunchbacked figures in hazmat suits under heavy Foundation ballistic armor, weapons held limply with the barrels in the ground, and their gas-masks glowing green at the eyes. They all turn to
10:10 PM you and stare as you approach the cave entrance.
10:10 PM <%soulonphone> Avery stares back, like an aggressive dog.
10:10 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> There's about 70 of them arranged in neat rows and columns and they aren't moving. Just looking. Other personnel who aren't Theta-57 freely move in and out of the cave
10:10 PM <%soulonphone> Had he swivable ears, they would be pulled back.
10:11 PM <Odocoileus> Tally waves to them happily "hello friends!"
10:11 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> they don't wave back rip
10:11 PM <Odocoileus> She is not offended
10:11 PM <Varren> Moira gently nudges Snorri "aw, it's not that bad. Why ya whinin?" She is at home here, some of Bolovia is very much like this.
10:12 PM <Odocoileus> Tally is soaking in the heat and humidity. She is made for this place.
10:12 PM <Varren> Moira pauses by one and looks it up and down. "So these are the muffin fuckers? Bigger than i thought they'd be. Y'all like the suits? Really seals in the flavor, yeah?"
10:12 PM <%soulonphone> Avery sticks with Maddy, ready to fight people.
10:13 PM <NeonSkitty> "Language, please."
10:13 PM <Odocoileus> She runs up to one of the t57s and looks up at them. " Are you brothers of turtle?"
10:13 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> no response Tally
10:13 PM <War_> Maddy is just…very baffled by the current exchanges happening.
10:14 PM <Odocoileus> She sighs and just keeps moving.
10:14 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> A voice on the radio, it's Melly: «You guys made it! That's awesome! Come on in we've redecorated! Don't mind the statues, I have them standing out like that on purpose."
10:14 PM »*
10:14 PM <Varren> "Who're you? Bud?" She grins and flinches away as Tally moves close by her like an automatic reaction. She stares up at the T57..just blank staring for a few seconds. "You ever seen a monkey try to fuck a llama?"
10:15 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> no response to you either Moira
10:15 PM <Odocoileus> Tally puts a sticker on one of them as she walks by.
10:15 PM <Varren> She glances at her radio and checks of the whispers about them not reacting to most anything are true. When its confirmed She shrugs, murmurs that it has a stick up its ass and walks on into the temple
10:15 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca looks at Maddy, expressionless mask saying more than words can about the team. She shakes her head, then heads off.
10:16 PM <War_> He just…keeps on walking
10:17 PM <%soulonphone> “They don’t respond to you unless you have an instruction or you wish to query too thoroughly into them.”
10:17 PM <Odocoileus> Tally is up in front trotting inside.
10:17 PM <%soulonphone> “They’re effectively sapient machines.”
10:18 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Pause for entrance
10:18 PM The temple complex is a massive space. It's been tidied up tremendously since you were last there. Structures have electrical wires and substructures on and around them. Wires weave through the gaps in the stone tiles, and research pre-fabs are dotted around everywhere. There's a full blown mess-hall, and several trailer-like structures in the back stacked on top of each other to form a sort of barracks for non T57
10:18 PM personnel. There's legit firing ranges, outdoor gyms, and probably more hidden away. Melly is standing near waiting for you all. She's dressed in Foundation officer's gear, and her hair's tied back into a ponytail. She's smiling and runs up to greet you.
10:19 PM <%soulonphone> Avery is still cautious and defensive around Melly.
10:19 PM <War_> "Holy shit…"
10:19 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> (Resume for conversation) Melly speaks "Some familiar faces, and some new ones! Great! Come on we'll walk and talk, or brief and…walk, I don't know." she turns and motions for you all to follow
10:20 PM <Odocoileus> She trots up to melly and sniffs her a little.
10:20 PM <%soulonphone> Avery follows, cautiously.
10:20 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> She smells like chocolate Tally
10:20 PM <Varren> "Ah well that's no fun at all. Alright, I will leave'em alone then." Avery. There is a tiny bit less animosity in her voice with you this run. Odd, that. She blinks at Melly, they hadnt met yet. She looks a little off put by the cheery attitude
10:20 PM <%soulonphone> Avery notes it but he doesn’t press.
10:21 PM Shockingly, a bit of tact from him.
10:21 PM <Odocoileus> "you were with the other large one who is at our site? Yes?" She
10:21 PM Looks a little confused
10:22 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> She spins as she walks, "Indeed I was! I haven't met some of you; Commander Melissa Cooper, MTF Theta-57 Muffin Makers. I've met of some of you but not all of you. Care to introduce yourselves?"
10:23 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca walks briskly behind Melissa- "I won't ask about the code name, but I assume our job here has nothing to do with pastries. My name is doctor Rebecca Baumwollmund, I'm Site-15's biochemist and chemical weapon's senior researcher."
10:23 PM <Odocoileus> "I am Tallulah, I am am the large ones nest friend back at home. I am a tracking specialist."
10:23 PM *best
10:24 PM <Varren> "I'll ask. I heard it used to be way better. Moira Bellemonte, reconnisance agent." She shrugs
10:24 PM <%soulonphone> Avery remains deeply silent.
10:24 PM He doesn’t trust Melly and it shows.
10:24 PM <War_> Maddy is still gawking at the temple's interior
10:25 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> "Excellent! A pleasure to meet all of you…" she double-takes on Tally, "The…large one? I uh…okay." she blinks, "Anyway! Why you're here. We did it, we successfully made a backdoor into the Monomyth's dimension that can be used without it knowing. That's the first bit of news."
10:25 PM <NeonSkitty> "And the good news, I imagine. What's the bad?"
10:26 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> "Well it's not bad per-say, but maybe lukeworm? It looks like Dr William Song is still alive; he's broadcasting SOS signals through the portal."
10:26 PM "Which means the Ethics Committee is here."
10:28 PM You walk deeper into the temple complex. Buddha statues loom over you from the structures, the cave walls, the cave ceilings, over the din of normal Site chatter
10:28 PM <%soulonphone> Avery goe Avery still at the mention of the ethics committee.
10:29 PM <NeonSkitty> "Which means it's bad news." Rebecca lets out a disappointed sigh. She's no fan of the Ethics Committee.
10:29 PM <Varren> Moira squints "oh yeah? How long he been in another dimension and what happens in that dimension? I read some reports and if it fucks you up this is a trap "
10:29 PM <%soulonphone> He starts to try and look small.
10:29 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri's ears perk up at the mention of EthComm as well. Stands up a little straighter. Re-seals the top button on his BDU jacket.
10:29 PM <War_> Maddy's just as familiar with Ethics. He makes a face.
10:30 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> "Song got sent to…that place with enough mental hardeners to last a month. Which means he should still be comparatively sane. The problem is that he's using frequencies he should not technically have…frequencies that put him on the little target list used by the EC investigation in Holihan's Marr Procedure."
10:30 PM <Varren> Moira blinks AT snorri and undies one more on her BDUs
10:30 PM What the gonna say? Is in her eyes
10:31 PM <%soulonphone> Marr procedure. Avery gets even smaller.
10:31 PM <Odocoileus> Tally tilts her head a little
10:31 PM <NeonSkitty> "Marr Procedure? If that can get the EC's attention, I'd like an explanation."
10:31 PM <%soulonphone> “It’s the procedure that makes the human machine soldiers.”
10:31 PM <War_> "…of course."
10:32 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> "I wont fill you in on what they're doing, I don't know much and I also don't want to involve you in that business. What you need to know is that this is not a search and rescue operation, this is an extradite or terminate mission."
10:32 PM <Varren> "If they are human at all. And is it just him? Didnt a buncha that force get blasted?"
10:32 PM <NeonSkitty> "I see…" She nods at the Averysplanation, making a mental note to request details on the procedure.
10:33 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri nods. "We should expect him to resist, then."
10:33 PM <Odocoileus> Tally listens quietly
10:33 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> She turns to Moira, "Song has a month's supply of mental hardeners on the assumption that his team is no longer in a position to use them. But if you find them….bring them home."
10:33 PM <War_> "…all things considered we should expect /worse/ than 'resistance'."
10:34 PM <TeslaTornado> He peeps over toward Moira and raises his eyebrows. "Commander Cooper, I hate to be Devil's advocate in this situation, but…"
10:34 PM <%soulonphone> Avery is quiet.
10:34 PM <TeslaTornado> "… this Doctor Song, if I remember file on this Monomyth entity - he was in command of task force currently stranded in Monomyth's plane, yes?"
10:34 PM <%soulonphone> “If Song is compromised, I will terminate him peacefully.”
10:35 PM <TeslaTornado> "We have no reason to assume that the personnel under his command are not aware of the circumstances."
10:35 PM "And that they will not take hostile action in the event that we come for Doctor Song."
10:35 PM <Varren> "He isnt wrong." Moira is matter of fact toning
10:36 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> She looks to Snorri, "Not in command directly, but a former member with enough strings to call in the number of help he did during his short tenure. Your interactions with any surviving Ship of the Line operatives are secondary, unfortunatly, to EC. They want Song dead, or they want Song back so he can be made dead later after questioning."
10:36 PM <Odocoileus> She rubs the back of her neck. "So bring him back if we can?"
10:37 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> "If you can." she looks at Avery, "you can figure out what's best to do when you're in there."
10:37 PM <Varren> "I say we cut out the middle man and kill him there then and burn the corpse to be sure. But we should work that out once we see what's up and save who we can if we can." She nods at Melly. Her thoughts exactly
10:38 PM <NeonSkitty> "… And if we don't give him to the Committee?"
10:38 PM <%soulonphone> Avery is quiet.
10:38 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Pause for portal
10:39 PM <Varren> Moira's eyebrow slowly raises at that gasmask'd face
10:40 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> You all round the corner and see the fruit's of Site-72's labor. A large, portal frame has been built into the wall, you can see Draugen's skull attached to the top with wires going into it and connecting the portal to several terminals and power generators nearby. The portal is also at the bottom of a ramp, a steel, constructed ramp with those pull chains you see in rollercoasters. At the bottom of the ramp at the other
10:40 PM side is a boat
10:40 PM https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e6/e6/c0/e6e6c043c8628f2e8fc430f0858f0e31.jpg
10:41 PM It's been retrofitted to include spotlights as well as the machine gun in front
10:41 PM <%soulonphone> Does the skull have any sign of movement?
10:41 PM Of consciousness?
10:41 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Surrounding the boat, are scientists, technicians, security guards and, operatives in blacked out gear
10:41 PM Avery, the skull has no signs of movement or consciousness
10:42 PM Melly turns to Rebecca, "The Committee is already here."
10:42 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri looks at the boat. Then turns toward Melly. "… Um."
10:42 PM <NeonSkitty> "That wasn't my question."
10:42 PM <TeslaTornado> "We have a boat."
10:42 PM "I. Do not like boats."
10:42 PM <War_> "…same…"
10:42 PM <Odocoileus> She seems so excited. "Another boat!"
10:43 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> "If you don't give him to the committee than he has been killed. If you rescue him with the intent of not handing him to them, as I said, they are already here; they will take him."
10:43 PM <Varren> Moira grins at the boat and feels at home. Hit temp, boats, operatives, and a stealth suit? This is her element outside the fucky portal. She stares at that very cautiously "…that hood ornament is bad."
10:44 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> "The surface on the other side of the portal doesn't…make walking possible, unfortunately."
10:44 PM <NeonSkitty> "I'll keep that information in mind- Thank you, Melissa."
10:44 PM <%soulonphone> Avery seems very tense and defensive now.
10:44 PM <NeonSkitty> "Are we going to find any resistance on the other side?"
10:44 PM "Besides the lack of surface tension."
10:45 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> "You shouldn't. The portal should cloak you, make you about as noticeable to the Monomyth as an individual white blood cell is to you travelling through your body."
10:46 PM "Get on board when you're ready, and we'll send you through."
10:46 PM <%soulonphone> Avery is quiet.
10:46 PM He gets on board.
10:46 PM Does he recognize any Ethics Committee people from his time when he was broken?
10:46 PM <NeonSkitty> "Quite a metaphor." Rebecca gets on board with her tote.
10:47 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> She walks over to talk to the people in the blacked out gear. She doesn't look happy. Avery, their faces are covered too."
10:47 PM <%soulonphone> Avery doesn’t even look at them then.
10:47 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri looks at Melly and tries to wave her back quickly, before she gets too caught up in her conversation.
10:47 PM <War_> Maddy climbs on. Does not like this in the slightest. Motion sickness is a thing people
10:48 PM <Odocoileus> Tally hops on to the boat and begins poking around like the nosy butt she is
10:48 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Now there are 6 positions. There's the gunner turret, the captain, two spotlights and…two just chilling by the sides
10:48 PM Please assign yourselves as desired or via dibs
10:48 PM <Varren> Moira waits by Snorri actually. He seems to have a decent head currently and she is interested in what's on his mind.
10:48 PM <%soulonphone> Avery takes a side.
10:48 PM <War_> Maddy is chilling by the side
10:49 PM <NeonSkitty> Becky starts to open the tote and arm and armor up, just in case. She's got actual armor on, for once. Trauma plates over her special suit, even a ballistic shield over her face. She's also now toting a hefty assault rifle of sorts, with her field kit on a hip pouch and a refresher tank hooked to her mask via tube.
10:50 PM <Odocoileus> Tally takes a spotlight!
10:51 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Melly says something out of earshot to the EC spooks and walks back over, "They've finally agreed to let me 'declassify' some of Song's operational history if it helps you in there." she slides some files on to the boat
10:51 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri will take a gunnery position. If the gunnery position won't be available, he'll second to one of the gunports.
10:51 PM As he climbs into the boat, he takes hold of the files and smiles. "Uhm. Commander Cooper?"
10:52 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Rebecca and Moira, there's captain's wheel and one more spotlight left
10:52 PM Melly looks to Snorri, "Yes?"
10:52 PM <Odocoileus> Tally is barely holding back her excitement.
10:52 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca walks over to the wheel, looking over the controls.
10:52 PM <%soulonphone> Avery listens.
10:52 PM <TeslaTornado> "Can you. Tell the EC agents to tell a doctor Felicia Hui that Snorri says hello, and that I hope she is doing well?"
10:52 PM <Varren> Moira climbs on in and sits next to a spotlight in this case and listens
10:53 PM <NeonSkitty> "… To think that my vacation was over, I'm pushed onto yet another boat."
10:53 PM <TeslaTornado> He says this as he performs weapon checks on the turret. "I have not spoken to doctor Hui since I was assigned to Sigma-84."
10:53 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Melly smiles and says, "I'll pass it along. Good luck all of you!" she turns to the technicians and gives the thumbs up
10:53 PM <Varren> "Oh…and here it thought is was a mission question." Moira chuckles. "Old girlfriend there buddy?"
10:53 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> The chain beneath the boat begins to pull you up the ramp slowly
10:54 PM <War_> Maddy hangs on to the boat's railing, grim-faced
10:55 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> "It's not theatrics!" Melly calls from the side, "You need a certain speed to go through."
10:55 PM You approach the apex of the ramp
10:55 PM <Odocoileus> Tally keeps her eyes peeled and her hands ready on the spot light
10:55 PM <Varren> Moira pokes maddys knee with a boot. "It'll be fine Mads. I am here to watch ya."
10:55 PM <%soulonphone> Avery is quiet. He sticks close to Maddy. Squeezes his hand.
10:55 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca waits for things to kick off.
10:55 PM <%soulonphone> “Not gonna let you die.”
10:55 PM <NeonSkitty> She rests her FAMAS against the console and takes the wheel.
10:55 PM <Varren> Moira frowns. "They didnt give us damn seatbelts." She grips the sides of the boat
10:56 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> The boat pauses at the top, and begins to lurch downwards. Ahead of you, a black portal, with Draugen's lifeless head powering it, stares ahead at you
10:57 PM <%soulonphone> Avery waits.
10:57 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri braces himself at the machine gun.
10:57 PM <NeonSkitty> "What a macabre sight." Becky mutters to herself.
10:57 PM <Odocoileus> Tally is wiggling in her seat.
10:57 PM <War_> Maddy looks…vaguely terrified
10:57 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> The boat tilts and rushes down the ramp. You hit the portal and pass through into the pitch darkness of the Monomyth's dimension
10:58 PM <%soulonphone> Avery squeezes.
10:58 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> In an instant, you feel water beneath the boat, and wind, but it is is black and you cannot see
10:58 PM the spotlights are still off
10:59 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri reaches down to his belt. Clicks on his flashlight.
10:59 PM <War_> Can Maddy see anything alive out there with his life-sight?
10:59 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Sure Maddy roll for it
10:59 PM <Odocoileus> Tally turns on her spotlight!
10:59 PM <War_> 4df+7 hhhh
10:59 PM <Glacon> War_: hhhh: 5 (4df+7=-, 0, -, 0)
10:59 PM <War_> shit it's dark
11:00 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Snorri, and Tally, you activate your lights. The water around you isn't water at all, it's an endless ocean of oil….and there are bodies floating in it. The sky is another ocean of oil, but above you
11:00 PM Maddy, you see no life except those of your BFFs on the boat
11:00 PM It is also very quiet
11:01 PM <NeonSkitty> Also, for the sake of making it clear- Rebecca's loaded 4 Viper grenades for this mission for her loadout.
11:01 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Only the sound of waves and the occasional bump of corpses against the hull
11:01 PM <%soulonphone> Avery used to like the silence.
11:02 PM <Varren> Moira activates her light. And swivels it slowly where Snorri would be able to aim as would be her job.
11:02 PM <NeonSkitty> "I assume none of you know any sea shanties to break the tension."
11:02 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Moira you also see the oil ocean, and the corpses floating in it
11:02 PM <Odocoileus> Tally looks around and sniffs the air. "This place.."
11:02 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri looks down at the bodies in the wat—in the oil. Ew. "Start engines."
11:02 PM <War_> "…honestly I was literally about to start singing."
11:02 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> It smells like oil and rotten flesh Tally
11:03 PM <Varren> "Well….this is….nice? Fucking how did that guy survive here?" She looks closely at the corpses. Who are they?"
11:03 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca turns the engine on!
11:03 PM With sensual rubbing and a sexy turn of the key.
11:03 PM <Odocoileus> …oh my Rebecca
11:04 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Moira, you look at the bodies and see a mixed bag of bodies in 1700s British redcoats, knight armor, pirates, vikings, British townspeople, WW2 soliders and etc
11:04 PM The boat comes to life. Captain Rebecca, you are free to pilot the boat in directions
11:04 PM <%soulonphone> “The Monomyth opens portals, and people come through.”
11:04 PM <NeonSkitty> She checks the boat's compass. Is it acting like a compass should?
11:05 PM <Varren> Oh. Were they given a bearing or equipment to track the sos?
11:05 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Instead of always pointing North, the compass is pointing South
11:05 PM <Varren> Also do any of those corpses have the real excalibur?
11:05 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Moira, there's equipment in the boat to track the frequencies. It just needs to be turned on
11:05 PM no excaliburs here rip
11:05 PM <Varren> Moira scoots over and does so! Messing with the nobs to get the frequency clear
11:06 PM Unfortunate. Ezekiel wont shut up about the sword
11:06 PM <NeonSkitty> "… This compass is reacting wrong, we may be fucked. Well, when no direction comes to you, I guess…" Rebecca starts driving the boat forward, wherever forward leads.
11:06 PM <%soulonphone> 4df+8 science can be glean anything about this world?
11:06 PM <Glacon> soulonphone: science can be glean anything about this world?: 9 (4df+8=0, 0, 0, +)
11:06 PM <NeonSkitty> (brb real quicko)
11:08 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Moira you get a frequency playing "…channel. This is Dr. William Song of Project Marr, Mobile Task Force Omicron 157 Ship of the Line, and Idaho Research Facility 08, of the Foundation, broadcasting on all Foundation frequencies. This channel will remain open and broadcast from every transmitter I can establish. Repeating message. (and it repeats)" You get a bearing
11:08 PM <NeonSkitty> (backly!)
11:08 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Avery, you glean that you are not IN the Monomyth at least, but the shared world. Everything that comes here, is here
11:09 PM <Varren> Moira perks up. "I gotta bearing. Mask, go ten degrees starboard and keep in that heading."
11:10 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> ^this is the bearing the frequency provided
11:11 PM As you move through the oil, roll Perception for the lolfunnies
11:12 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca turns the boat so, looking back at Moira- "Doctor."
11:12 PM <%soulonphone> 4df+2 no perc
11:12 PM <Glacon> soulonphone: no perc: 2 (4df+2=+, 0, -, 0)

11:12 PM <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PERC) Do I turn into a transformer if I drink the oil: 2 (4df+4=-, 0, -, 0)
11:12 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Avery you notice nothing. So do you Snorri u blind people.
11:13 PM <Odocoileus> 4df+5 !!!
11:13 PM <Glacon> Odocoileus: !!!: 4 (4df+5=-, -, 0, +)
11:13 PM <Varren> 4df+7 hey hey I see
11:13 PM <Glacon> Varren: hey hey I see: 4 (4df+7=-, 0, -, -)
11:13 PM <Varren> Or not

11:13 PM <Glacon> War_: dock three off if not applicable: 8 (4df+7=+, +, -, 0)
11:13 PM <Varren> She was looking at Snorri's arms
11:14 PM Moira responding to Rebecca as she moves back to the spotlight. "Yeah, sure thing."
11:14 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally and Moira you are less focused on something else and turn your spotlights around to notice that the ocean is not only full of bodies. You notice a Spanish Galleon floating lifelessly by…and an old Southern plantation sunken partially into the oil in the distance where the signal was coming from
11:15 PM <Odocoileus> She tilts her head and shines her light more!
11:15 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Maddy you notice this as well, but you also notice more in the distance. Viking longboats, Pagoda's rising from the oil, and even British cottages bobbing up and down in the oil at a distance. The galleon in front of you all is moved only by the wind
11:15 PM NeonSkitty, perc roll?
11:16 PM <Varren> Moira focuses on the ship. "Ship ahoy…we should see if it has anything worth taking for research."
11:16 PM <War_> Maddy very slowly makes his way to the front of the boat. "….not just ships."
11:16 PM <NeonSkitty> 4df+2 my eyes r bad owo
11:16 PM <Glacon> NeonSkitty: my eyes r bad owo: 2 (4df+2=0, +, -, 0)
11:17 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri dismounts from the machine gun and makes his way to the foredeck, looking out at the ships and structures surrounding them.
11:17 PM He's somewhere between awed and intimidated.
11:17 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Rebecca you are in the Avery and Snorri club of not noticing much
11:18 PM You have the Spanish Galleon and the Plantation. Where to?
11:18 PM <%soulonphone> Avery is busy paying attention to Maddy.
11:18 PM <Odocoileus> Galleon!!!
11:19 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally you would have to convey that request to the captain of this vessel
11:19 PM <Odocoileus> Shit I forgot the ""
11:20 PM "we can find many things there yes? Please?"
11:20 PM <NeonSkitty> "Well, we have to start somewhere." Rebecca pulls the boat up to the galleon, slowing as they get up to it.
11:20 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Now, let me explain how the exploration mechanics for the Galleon work
11:21 PM <Varren> Moira is fucking ready to go! She is recon after all
11:21 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> You can roll Perception to just general sweep for things. You can roll logic to enhance another players roll. Or you can use one of the education skills to search for something specific to that field but with a lower DC to beat than general Perception
11:22 PM Or you can not roll at all and spend your turn investigating something on your boat, such as the file Melly gave you
11:22 PM Or…idk the oilcean
11:22 PM <%soulonphone> Avery reads the file.
11:22 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca climbs up to the deck of the galleon, directing anyone that opts to go do a search of the ship.
11:23 PM 4df+5 LOGIC
11:23 PM <Glacon> NeonSkitty: LOGIC: 5 (4df+5=+, -, 0, 0)
11:23 PM <War_> Maddy similarly just. Sits and reads the file too
11:23 PM Joins Avery
11:23 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Everyone on the boat add 5 to your rolls
11:23 PM galleon*
11:23 PM Maddy and Avery to HI2 pls :3
11:23 PM <NeonSkitty> ohno
11:23 PM <Odocoileus> Tally hops on to the galleon
11:24 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri remains boat-side to man the gun and perform security.
11:24 PM <Odocoileus> 4df+5 and then add another 5 to that as she looks around?
11:24 PM <Glacon> Odocoileus: and then add another 5 to that as she looks around?: 3 (4df+5=0, -, -, 0)
11:24 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally is that a perception?
11:24 PM <Odocoileus> Yus
11:25 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> so that's an 8 ayyy
11:25 PM <Varren> Moira goes on the galleon and will do a sweep of the ship as well, looking for not only useful shit and taskforce members but….Spanish galleon? Treasure.
11:25 PM 4df+7
11:25 PM <Glacon> Varren: 4 (4df+7=0, -, -, -)
11:25 PM <Varren> What the shit man
11:25 PM <NeonSkitty> …
11:25 PM that was
11:25 PM way too close
11:26 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally and Moira you find a few of Song's Team! They're dead though. RIP. You also find a tape recorder in the captain's quarters. Now that you have bodies, someone can roll medical on them. But you can't do any more searches of the ship itself
11:26 PM <Odocoileus> 4df+2 HOW DID YOU DIE!?
11:26 PM <Glacon> Odocoileus: HOW DID YOU DIE!?: 5 (4df+2=0, +, +, +)
11:27 PM <Varren> Moira ruffles through the task force members pockets for useful stuff and takes their tags to return
11:27 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally, you see alot of broken necks and blunt force trauma. Skulls are cracked, limbs are dislocated and noses look smashed into the skulls
11:28 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca walks across the deck, watching the oily water below with her rifle in-hand.
11:28 PM <Odocoileus> "they look like they were punched to death. With extreme force."
11:29 PM <Varren> "Well that makes sense. Didnt that big camera fucker take them here?" She frowns at the corpses, she finds anything in additional to tags?
11:29 PM Did she even find ta#gs?
11:30 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> you find tags
11:31 PM <Odocoileus> "the one that ripped my foot off? Possibly."
11:31 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Nothing additional unless you want to try your hand at Medical. If not, everyone return to the patrol boat
11:31 PM <Odocoileus> She returns!
11:31 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> You find two nerds reading files
11:31 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca climbs down to the boat with the others.
11:32 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> You return with tags, knowledge and a tape recorder
11:32 PM <Varren> Is the medical a free roll? Because moira has allow med
11:32 PM <NeonSkitty> KNAWLEJ
11:32 PM <Varren> Looow*
11:32 PM <%soulonphone> Avery goes back to standing. “Nothing white useful.”
11:33 PM <Odocoileus> "songs men were beaten to death with blunt force."
11:33 PM <Varren> 4df+1
11:33 PM <Glacon> Varren: -1 (4df+1=-, -, 0, 0)
11:34 PM <NeonSkitty> "Eesh… Unfortunate." Rebecca returns to the wheel, looking over at Madison and Avery.
11:34 PM <Varren> Womp, shebheads back to the boat then "found bodies. I got the tags. Tal says they were blunt forced to death."
11:34 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Moira the medical roll is free no worries. You find that these guys are dead
11:35 PM <Odocoileus> How ded?
11:35 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> liek totally ded
11:36 PM <Odocoileus> U:< rood
11:37 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> You can share the knowledge you've found. If you play the tape recorder you will all hear it at the same time
11:37 PM <Varren> Moira hangs the tags around her neck. Oh could she tell how fresh they were?
11:37 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri hangs out on the turret, occasionally dismounting to scan the surroundings with the searchlight.
11:38 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Moira not with a 1, but they're not outright decomposing
11:38 PM Snorri the only movement you see are the bodies floating around because of the wind
11:38 PM <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (PERC) Perimeter security
11:38 PM <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PERC) Perimeter security: 4 (4df+4=+, +, -, -)
11:38 PM <TeslaTornado> oop
11:39 PM <Varren> "Tal, how old were them bodies?" She frowns, a hand on the tags.
11:39 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Snorri the only movement you see are the bodies floating around because of the wind. The galleon's even floated past the boat by now
11:39 PM <Odocoileus> Could she tell how old they were
11:39 PM <%soulonphone> 4df+5 logic— what about song should Avery investigate later
11:39 PM <Glacon> soulonphone: logic— what about song should Avery investigate later: 5 (4df+5=0, 0, +, -)
11:39 PM <TeslaTornado> "We are clear of the galleon," Snorri contributes helpfully.
11:40 PM "Source of Song transmission is ruined plantation."
11:40 PM <War_> (Oh have we moved back here)
11:40 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Avery ye how's he moving around if he sees through other people's eyes and his team people are ded
11:40 PM ( War_ ye we returned)
11:40 PM <Varren> "We should hit that plantation next. Yeah it's there or past it."
11:40 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca nods, then turns the boat to the plantation- "Do we have any other information from the files?"
11:41 PM <War_> "Researched cures for anomalies. Transfer to 15 was recent following the beginning of these incidents I think…"
11:41 PM "Personal choice, apparently.x
11:41 PM "*
11:41 PM <%soulonphone> “If his team is dead, how is he active and moving?”
11:41 PM “He can only see through the eyes of others.”
11:42 PM <War_> "I mean."
11:42 PM "We're here."
11:43 PM <Odocoileus> Tally is already and set to check out the plantation.
11:43 PM <NeonSkitty> "Did you check the bodies for eyes, Tallulah?"
11:43 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri contributes: "Yes, but is also possible that his team died considerable amount of time before we arrived here."
11:44 PM <Varren> Moira sets her light ahead of the boat and at the plantation so they wont hit anything and can see where they are going
11:44 PM <Odocoileus> She shakes her head.
11:44 PM <TeslaTornado> "SOS beacon is automatic, repeating message. Does not give time frame."
11:44 PM Snorri points the gun ahead, into Moira's floodlight beam.
11:45 PM <War_> Maddy keeps watch, looking out for anything alive in the deep dark.
11:45 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Do you guys want to do anything else before arriving at the Plantation?
11:46 PM <%soulonphone> Avery is chill!
11:46 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca starts driving them out to the plantation!
11:47 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri turns on his own personal radio handset and does a scan for anything else broadcasting in the area.
11:48 PM <Varren> Moira isnt gonna go swimming so she is good
11:48 PM <TeslaTornado> Not just Song's broadcast, but anything else.
11:48 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> You moor yourselves on to the sunken Plantation, which is slightly lurching in the oil. Some of the bodies have washed up on to the once regal stairs, but you have free reign. Once again, You can roll Perception to just general sweep for things. You can roll logic to enhance another players roll. Or you can use one of the education skills to search for something specific to that field but with a lower DC to beat than
11:48 PM general Perception
11:48 PM Or you can not roll at all and spend your turn investigating something on your boat, such as the tape recorder
11:48 PM Snorri, Song is broadcasting on alot of frequencies….but beyond that there is complete silence here
11:49 PM <%soulonphone> 4df+5 avery tries to advise them where to look
11:49 PM <Glacon> soulonphone: avery tries to advise them where to look: 7 (4df+5=0, +, +, 0)
11:49 PM <%soulonphone> (Logic)
11:49 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Add a holy moly 7 to your rolls
11:49 PM <War_> Maddy looks for science/medical thingies
11:49 PM 4df+6 they're both the same
11:49 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri makes a noise. He dismounts from the boat, and wades into the sinking house.
11:49 PM <Glacon> War_: they're both the same: 9 (4df+6=+, +, +, 0)
11:49 PM <War_> O h
11:49 PM <NeonSkitty> 4df+2 My Brand
11:49 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> so a 16!

11:49 PM <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (SURV) He starts inspecting the structure for signs of habitation by anything animal or person.: 4 (4df+3=+, 0, -, +)
11:50 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Rebecca's looking for what?
11:50 PM <TeslaTornado> And that's gonna be a +16 I suppose.
11:50 PM So, +20.
11:50 PM <Varren> 4df+7and avery's 7
11:50 PM 4df+7
11:50 PM <Glacon> Varren: 5 (4df+7=-, -, +, -)
11:50 PM <Varren> Glac. Baby
11:50 PM <%soulonphone> Avery goes back to looking at the tape!
11:50 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Only Avery rolled logic to help
11:50 PM <NeonSkitty> Er
11:50 PM <%soulonphone> He plays it.
11:50 PM <Varren> Moira is just…..too distracted many snorri man
11:50 PM <TeslaTornado> Hwoops.
11:50 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca's looking for Activity!
11:50 PM <TeslaTornado> Okay, so it's +11.
11:51 PM <Odocoileus> 4df+5 wait +7? For perc
11:51 PM <NeonSkitty> Movement in windows, things visibly swinging in windows from recent interaction, anything like that
11:51 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Aight. Pause as I describe what each of you find
11:51 PM <Glacon> Odocoileus: wait +7? For perc: 7 (4df+5=+, +, 0, 0)
11:52 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Snorri, you find used beds, some fresh ash in the fireplace and one of the transmitters. But no signs of food or drink consumption
11:52 PM Maddy, you find, with medical, more Ship of the Line bodies. Dead with blunt force trauma again. But your medical knowwwledge has you inspect the eyes, of which the corpses do not have any
11:53 PM <War_> He seems horrified at this conclusion.
11:53 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca eventually enters the plantation with the others.
11:53 PM <%soulonphone> Avery plays that tape!
11:53 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Rebecca Moira and Tally, you find more bodies, and another tape recorder in the master bedroom, along with papers full of scribbles and notes
11:53 PM Avery play tape in HI2 pls
11:54 PM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca picks up the notes, looking through them.
11:54 PM <Odocoileus> Tally gonna hunt for eyebawls
11:54 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri's squatting by one of the SOS transmitters. He eventually wades back out to the boat and clambers aboard to listen to the tape.
11:54 PM <Varren> More is gonna take the tags and go back to the boat
11:55 PM <War_> Maddy eventually makes his way back so he can inform the rest of his findings
11:56 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri also informs the others of what he's come across. Used bedding. Firepits, burnt down to ash. But no food. No water.
11:57 PM <%soulonphone> “The bodies are aware.” Avery says.
11:57 PM “Song is seeing through them.”
11:58 PM <War_> "…the ones I found had no eyes."
11:58 PM <Varren> "You found more bodies? Where?"
11:58 PM <TeslaTornado> Snorri grimaces.
11:58 PM "I do not like that."
11:59 PM <War_> "Back in the plantation."
11:59 PM <%soulonphone> “The bodies in the oil.”
Monday, March 18th, 2019
12:00 AM <Varren> "Did you grab the tags?" Moira looks down at the open buttons imon her shirt and the handful of tags there
12:00 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Rebecca, the notes you find are mostly scribblings and wind calculations
12:00 AM <War_> "…I didn't want to touch them."
12:00 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca takes the notes, then returns to the boat.
12:00 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Snorri if you listen to the tape you heard everything in HI2
12:01 AM <Varren> Moira did listen. She also flat stares at Maddy for a second and stalks off into the plantation to recover the tags of the fallen members
12:01 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri makes an affirmative noise, when he hears the tapes. "… This makes sense. If he does not need to eat, he does not need to use his food rations - so there would be no containers."
12:01 AM "He would only need medication to prevent Monomyth influence."
12:01 AM <Odocoileus> (back)
12:02 AM <%soulonphone> “He killed them, or worse.”
12:02 AM <Varren> After she gets those tags how many does she have? Do they know how many were in the taskforce?
12:03 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Moira you now have a good collection of 29 tags! Not including him, there were 30 Ship of the Line people with him when they got yeeted here by Camera Head
12:04 AM <Odocoileus> Tally looks a bit unsettled.
12:04 AM <NeonSkitty> "So this Dr. Song is dangerous, then."
12:04 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> ( TeslaTornado I forgot that by listen to the tape you might have meant the second tape you just found. I'll play it later.)
12:04 AM <Varren> Moira has 29 fucking tags around her neck, she jingles when she reenters the boat.
12:04 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> There is still an active bearing to follow to more transmitters. Lmk when you restart the boat boat
12:05 AM <TeslaTornado> \\Oh yeah then play it when you have the chance
12:06 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca starts the boat, aye!
12:06 AM <Odocoileus> Tally back on boat boat
12:06 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> On to the second leg of the voyage. Roll Perception everyone!
12:07 AM <War_> 4df+4 add three if applicable etc etc
12:07 AM <Glacon> War_: add three if applicable etc etc: 6 (4df+4=+, 0, +, 0)

12:07 AM <TeslaTornado> \\thanks, buddy
12:07 AM <Odocoileus> 4df+5 o.o
12:07 AM <Glacon> Odocoileus: o.o: 4 (4df+5=0, -, +, -)
12:08 AM <Varren> Moira shines her light but she is focused on her tag collection. So many lost people.
12:08 AM She is a bit of a bitch but not heartless to deaths of her team
12:09 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Everyone notices it, the bobbing train wreckage in the oil, each car ruptured from within by explosions. Blasted reality anchors float by them, like oily, metal lovers dead at sea. But only Snorri sees the body floating face up in the water near them, the body of a tall, muscular man in a priest's robes, empty, lidless eyes staring face up, a gaping lipless mouth letting the oil flow down his throat: Dundudly
12:10 AM water pff I meant oil*
12:11 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri looks directly at the priest. Trains the machine gun's barrel on it immediately. "There is a priest in the train wreckage."
12:11 AM <Odocoileus> "that is the man who crushed my ankle!" She frowns hard.
12:11 AM <War_> Maddy's blood runs cold.
12:11 AM "The priest???"
12:11 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca looks over at Snorri, then follows the gun's line of sight. "… Someone you know?"
12:11 AM <Varren> "Priest?" She shines a light where he is aiming. "He was in a report or two."
12:12 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri keeps the MG turret trained on Dundudly's corpse. "I do not, no, but. He has been in reports, numerous times, yes."
12:12 AM <Odocoileus> Tally looks over the edge of the boat at him. "He was quite rude."
12:12 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Duddle's continues floating lifelessly by the boat
12:13 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca watches quietly for a moment- "Well, it doesn't look like he'll be a problem anymore."
12:13 AM <War_> Maddy curls into a ball.
12:13 AM "…fuckin' glad he's dead."
12:13 AM <Varren> "Yeah he homerunned Mads." Moira pulls out her longest knife. "Pull up near it Reba."
12:13 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri keeps the gun turret trained on Dundudly and the train as it passes by.
12:13 AM … Or circles back, depending on what Rebecca does.
12:13 AM <Odocoileus> "are you going to poke him?"
12:14 AM <NeonSkitty> Outside of the anchors and Duddly, is there anything interesting here?
12:14 AM <TeslaTornado> "I would not," Snorri advises cautiously.
12:14 AM <Varren> "Maybe. He was a big bad and the thing said he is conscious. Maybe he has some shit to say."
12:14 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> No. Just the bearing to the other SOS transmitters
12:15 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca goes for the transmitters, in that case! "No time to faff about, it seems."
12:16 AM <Varren> Moira fries at this. Yeah, unlike that even matters. She is pretty sure time is fucked here anyway. Curiously she takes out a 9mm round and tosses it at his mouth as the go by.
12:16 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Dundudly fades into the black horizon as you drive past the train wreck. You come to the next transmission source: a sunken Castle, tilted on its side
12:17 AM Snorri if you want to play the second tape recorder now is the time
12:18 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri presses play on the tape.
12:18 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> HI2 for chunk of text
12:21 AM <Varren> Moira will wait for the tape before she goes into the castle. No more bodies to find so this might be it. Also castles mean valuables
12:21 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca pulls up to the castle!
12:23 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> The tape ends
12:25 AM <Varren> Moira frowns at all this and raises an eyebrow. "Well…we got some time to stop it." She turns and dismounts to go into the castle!
12:25 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> You can RP a bit about the tape or you can disembark
12:25 AM <Odocoileus> Tally follows behind Moira.
12:25 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> or you can RP while walking that's cool as well
12:26 AM <War_> Maddy hops off to go to the castle also.
12:26 AM <Odocoileus> TALLY WILL PREFER TO SKIP THANK YOU VERY MUCH
12:26 AM <%soulonphone> “Hopefully we can stop it.”
12:26 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Roll perception stuff in the castle!

12:28 AM <TeslaTornado> (Plus the whatever bonus)
12:29 AM <NeonSkitty> "… Which blonde bitch are you talking about, Moira?"
12:29 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Snorri u find none. Those of you rolling Perception and shit, you see the walls defaced with letters and numbers. Not religious shit….but just random letters and number combinations. Some of the letters are capitalized. Some of the gibberish has special characters like & and @ in them
12:29 AM They're Errywhere
12:30 AM <Odocoileus> 4df+5 I am looking again and Idk what the buff is!
12:30 AM <Glacon> Odocoileus: I am looking again and Idk what the buff is!: 6 (4df+5=+, -, 0, +)
12:30 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally u see the same shit as above
12:30 AM <Varren> "The one that sent us here? Your visor fogged? Melly." Moira examines the walls and moves towards what would probably be the main hall or throne room
12:31 AM <NeonSkitty> "Everything's shades of blue, to me." She shrugs, and keeps walking.
12:31 AM "Besides, I wasn't paying attention to her hair. I had other things on my mind."
12:33 AM <Odocoileus> Tally looks at the walls very confused.
12:33 AM <%soulonphone> Can Avery attempt to decipher?
12:33 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Sure you can Avery :3
12:34 AM <Odocoileus> Can Tally try too!?
12:34 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> SURE
12:34 AM <Odocoileus> 4df+4 woo!! History spec!
12:34 AM <Glacon> Odocoileus: woo!! History spec!: 5 (4df+4=-, +, +, 0)
12:34 AM <Varren> Moira ain't even gonna try. Best she can do is like unfocus her eyes and look for the hidden picture
12:34 AM <%soulonphone> Its quiet riht?
12:34 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri, who doesn't have any interest in cryptography, maintains security. As always.
12:35 AM <Varren> So she hunts for cool shit or the throne to sot on. Or the armory or treasure room or dungeon…not boring stuff
12:35 AM She is recon. So she is reconning
12:35 AM <%soulonphone> 4df+7 Logic plus quiet bonus to figure shut out
12:35 AM <Glacon> soulonphone: Logic plus quiet bonus to figure shut out: 10 (4df+7=+, +, +, 0)
12:35 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> But Tally! Those are FAMILIAR symbols! English letters, and normal symbols like those you'd find on a keyboard (idk what this does to the spec so lmk)
12:35 AM <%soulonphone> Nice
12:35 AM <War_> Maddy just noses around for stuff
12:35 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Avery these are login and password combinations
12:36 AM Most of them are scratched through
12:36 AM You hear a voice through the dark halls of the castle. It's ya boi Dr. Song: "My friends from Site-15. Friend or foe? I think we know which. Here on the Committee's leesh, here to wring my neck? You can't. I won't allow it. I have the salvation of humanity before me, and you have nothing but a finger pointed at me, and a voice saying 'kill.' I will save the world on my time, not yours, you insane revenants."
12:36 AM <Odocoileus> She can decide unfamiliar runes or symbols when trying to peice info together
12:36 AM <%soulonphone> Avery begins to copy them down. All of them.
12:36 AM He doesn’t say a word.
12:36 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> I see. Tally you figure out the same thing as Avery did then
12:37 AM <Odocoileus> O:
12:37 AM <NeonSkitty> Do they all hear him?
12:37 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Yes
12:37 AM <%soulonphone> Avery is quiet, scratching down the logins.
12:37 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca holds up a hand in the 'halt' gesture.
12:38 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> It sounds like the voice is coming from behind you
12:38 AM <Odocoileus> Tally helps read the logins to Avery as he writes them down
12:38 AM <War_> Maddy looks around just about everywhere, considering he has a real hard time telling what directions sound comes from
12:39 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Maddy u look around and see nothing. Just you and your pals chillaxing in the castle floating in oil
12:39 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca turns and shoulders her rifle, moving to look for it. "Come with us, Dr. Song, we can deal with this reasonably."
12:39 AM <War_> …if Song's still a people, and alive, could he life-sight track him?
12:39 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri continues his silent routine, keeping perimeter security, covering any possible approaches that hostiles could use to get near the team.
12:40 AM <%soulonphone> Once he finishes, he waits.
12:41 AM <Varren> Moira is further ahead than most. She has sharp ears though. She tries to nail down exactly where the voice is coming from
12:41 AM <Odocoileus> Tally stays close to Avery and sniffs the air.
12:41 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> "Rebecca Baumwollmund. You could have been scouted for Project Marr. You could have been in this very situation. I did what I did. I have paid my toll. My wife is dead. My home, razed. My colleagues either dead or on the run. I will not come with you. My work is too important to be fucked up now by some Jacobin guillotine running rampant through our organization." The voice sounds like its walking with you
12:42 AM <NeonSkitty> 4df+2 PERC 👀 She looks around for the source
12:42 AM <Glacon> NeonSkitty: PERC 👀 She looks around for the source: 2 (4df+2=-, +, +, -)
12:42 AM <War_> 4df+7 fuck it, life-sight tracking this bastard
12:42 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> The voice sounds like its coming like a foot to your left. But there's nothing there
12:42 AM <Glacon> War_: fuck it, life-sight tracking this bastard: 6 (4df+7=+, -, -, 0)
12:42 AM <War_> glac come /on/
12:42 AM <NeonSkitty> "I could have, but I wasn't. If you come with us, we can try to save the world together. If not, we'll have to put you down. I would rather not do the latter."
12:42 AM <Odocoileus> 4df+5 sniff sniff
12:42 AM <Glacon> Odocoileus: sniff sniff: 4 (4df+5=0, 0, -, 0)
12:42 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri makes a quiet, frustrated noise to voice his dissent at Song's proselytizing.
12:43 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Maddy you see nothing. You don't even see the life signs of your team. They're blinking in and out, like static life signs, as are phantom signals coursing around the castle.
12:43 AM <TeslaTornado> Mumbling, "So many people, and all of their big words and fancy speeches, just once I would like them to stop talking and come quietly…"
12:43 AM <%soulonphone> “Who is it that is killing the Foundation?”
12:43 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally u do not find him either
12:43 AM <NeonSkitty> There's a muffled chuckle through Rebecca's gas mask at Snorri's comment.
12:44 AM <War_> Maddy utters a low groan and massages the side of his head. "…interference…"
12:44 AM <Varren> Moira frowns deeply. "Man, I dont I ow you at all and you talk too much. Tell us how you wanna stop the evil thing. If it's cool we will help if not we are gonna persuade you to smcome with us."
12:45 AM The way she says persuade implies violence
12:45 AM <Odocoileus> "we stay close together, yes?"
12:46 AM <NeonSkitty> "No splitting up, yes."
12:47 AM <Varren> Moira is ahead of the others by a decent amount because of her role but not so far that its dangerous
12:47 AM it's like fifteen/twenty feet maybe
12:48 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> You escape the dark halls and enter the throne room. It is empty and vast. Faded carpets, and obliterated tapestries, ruined thrones and more ramblings on the walls. Standing at the foot of the toppled throne, with his back to you is Dr. Song. He's still in his Hawaiian shirt, although it is worse for wear, and has strapped a ballistic vest over it. He has a rudimentary prosthetic arm, and combat boots on over his jeans.
12:48 AM His labcoat is wripped and strapped with bandoliers and different pouches. His beard is grown down to his chest, his hair mangled, and his eyeballs missing from their sockets. A necklace of eyeballs is around his neck and…as far as weapons go…he isn't holding any
12:48 AM He speaks, his voice still sounding as though its close to you, "I can't find this castle on any maps. Seized early before their publication you think?"
12:49 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca plays with Song's questions- "Probably. Most likely missing, and blown off as folklore long ago, like Roanoke."
12:50 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri tips his head to the side, keeping his Valmet at low-ready. "… For sake of conversation, I am going to agree."
12:51 AM <Odocoileus> Tally just stares at his necklace
12:51 AM <Varren> "Maybe. Or maybe it was just lost. The world is shit. Lots of fires and wars. Records coulda Been lost." Moira huffs and tilts her head. "Why you bringin this up?"
12:52 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> He laughs, "Don't concern yourself with it, Doctor, I can see the weapons in your hands. I can see the madman you think you see. I can see the corpses you don't think you are." His voice still sounds like he's standing close to you, not standing at the other end of the throneroom
12:52 AM <War_> Well. That explains where the hell the eyeballs went.
12:53 AM <Odocoileus> "we are not corpses."
12:53 AM <NeonSkitty> "I know how long I've been dead, Dr. Song. Still, that doesn't mean I can't do my job." She hangs the rifle by its strap, loading a magazine onto her GL-G4 launcher.
12:54 AM <Odocoileus> She looks up at Rebecca confused.
12:54 AM <TeslaTornado> "All of these theatrics." Snorri lets out a small huff, drawing the bolt catch back on his Valmet and chambering a round.
12:55 AM "For record, your tape recordings are very coherent. I make no assumptions about your state of madness."
12:55 AM <NeonSkitty> "Just stalling, Steffanson." Rebecca pats his shoulder. "Do whatever it is you do."
12:55 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> He cocks his head, "Why thank you. I make no assumptions about the intent of that bullet you chambered. A chemical launcher. Good range. I have no idea how to throw my voice."
12:56 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri keeps his weapon at low-ready. "I prepare for every eventuality," he says impartially about the chambered round.
12:56 AM <Varren> Moira frowns even more. "Supposedly you arent crazy yet. Or by this place at least. But I fuckin think you were always batshit from all this shit you are spouting. You haven't said anything about how you plan to fight that thing."
12:56 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> He takes a step towards you all, you're still like 50 meters away from him
12:56 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri keeps it cool. He hasn't displayed hostile intent yet, so there's no need to fire for the moment. Rules of engagement, and all.
12:57 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> "Fight? You don't fight God. You kill it. You don't go on to an open field and charge at it. You get into its gut and stab it."
12:57 AM <Odocoileus> Tally feels very uneasy but stands still.
12:57 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri lets out a laugh at that.
12:57 AM "I like this man," he says, to nobody in particular.
12:58 AM <War_> Maddy is tense and waiting for /something/ to happen, a hand hovering over the pistol strapped to his armoured side.
12:58 AM <%soulonphone> Avery wakes.
12:58 AM *waits.
12:58 AM <TeslaTornado> "Perhaps you would be inclined to share plan to insert knife into God's stomach with me, yes?"
12:58 AM "Mutually beneficial."
12:59 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> "Kind words, but false words. That being said…I take it I'm expected to turn myself over or die. Is that the arrangement the Ethics Committee provided?"
12:59 AM <NeonSkitty> "I don't like the Ethics Committee any more than you do, Song."
12:59 AM <Varren> "Yeah, just share is already. Of you ain't crazy we can help." She takes a step as well, gun amis strapped and hanging off her shoulder. Also all his men's tag jingle on her chest in her shirt. "You killed all your men. Right?"
1:00 AM <TeslaTornado> "Mission outline stated that objective was either extradition or execution - why does everyone hate Ethics Committee so much?"
1:00 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> "My men? Eyes for research. Pills for sanity. Nothing more. Nothing less."
1:01 AM <Varren> "Listen man. If telling ethics to fuck off saves the world and gets me in hot water for a while that's fine. But you ain't sharing shit. I dont think you want to share and I think you killed them because you're a sick fuck. So we cant let you go and you wont tell us shit. So why dont we just fucking skip to the end of this talk?"
1:02 AM <TeslaTornado> "Honestly why does everyone hate Ethics so much?" Snorri looks back and forth between Song and his teammates.
1:02 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> He looks at his watch, "Every word you waste is another moment before the most recent prescription expires. I cannot dally…but you're all remarkably sane." he takes a step forward, "Hand it over. Those things. Your mental hardeners…for the salvation of the human race." he extends a hand towards you from 49 meters away
1:02 AM <NeonSkitty> "They're just more gears in a very simple machine, Snorri."
1:03 AM <TeslaTornado> He shakes his head, sighs, looks back at Song. "Our mental eh what?"
1:03 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> He takes another step forward and is 48 meters away, his other hand going for the glock in his belt
1:04 AM <Varren> "Ain't got any for you. But I got some lead pills. She takes another step and puts both hands on her boxy rifle.
1:04 AM <War_> "We don't have shit dude."
1:04 AM <Odocoileus> Tally points her gun at him. "Take your hand away from the gun!"
1:04 AM <TeslaTornado> "Doctor Song, I would prefer peaceful resolution, but if you raise weapon I will be forced to assume you have hostile intent, and act accordingly."
1:05 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Another step, hand still outstretched. The pistol safety clicks off. 47 meters
1:05 AM <War_> Maddy draws his gun
1:05 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri takes a step forward.
1:05 AM <%soulonphone> Avery is quiet. Then he says, “Dr Song, we do not have hardeners because they are no longer necessary to survive here.”
1:05 AM <Odocoileus> "song donot do this."
1:06 AM <%soulonphone> “A new technique has been developed that does not require hardeners.”
1:06 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca extends her right arm.
1:06 AM <%soulonphone> “Please Explain What you know on how to kill The Monomyth.”
1:07 AM <Varren> Fuck this. Moira doesnt like that he is doing the slow walk with a pistol. Like he knows something. He isnt sharing anything
1:08 AM She raises her rifle and pulls the trigger. A burst for the knee.
1:08 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> The bullet goes through his knee without any spurt of blood or any reaction from Song. Song takes another step and is 1 meter away from you all, his hand inches away, "Sanity belong to ME!"
1:08 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri sidesteps and lets out a startled grunt as a burst of Kraut Space Magic goes cracking past him.

1:39 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Song's mouth goes into a sort of comatose droop for a second and he begins to slow before suddenly jumping back as though an adrenaline shot was put through his heart, "Mi Cheen Nyom, what..the fuck was that."

1:45 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Song punches you, Snorri, right in the nose, breaking it and causing you to take more damage from unarmed attacks until that's fixed. He then flips over to Maddy whose shin he kicks in so he's got that good ol horse-looking leg, causing him to also take extra damage from unarmed attacks until that's fixed. Finally he backpedals up to Tally and swings the back of his head into her forehead, concussing and you know the
1:45 AM drill. 2 damage all 3 of you
1:45 AM You 3 are ruptured until medical

1:46 AM <War_> Maddy crumples with a scream, and through a blurry haze is scrabbling to get away in an instant
1:47 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri makes a strangled *guhk* noise as his nose is busted to high fuck. His vision swims for a moment, and then he's lunging after Song again.

1:49 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri looks upset about his busted nose. He's still going after Song, and will attempt to grab him by the drag handle on the back of his plate carrier and sweep-kick his knee so that it looks like a sideways horsey leg.
1:50 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Is that an athletics grab?
1:51 AM <TeslaTornado> It's more an attempt to immobilize him while he kicks, but if you want to count it as two separate rolls, go in my guy
1:51 AM Like, he's trying to pull Snorri in towards him and off balance while also trying to dislocate his knee with the kick.

2:07 AM Moira you're up
2:07 AM <NeonSkitty> Quiche.
2:09 AM <Varren> Moira has taken an interesting position in this fight. Knowing he sees through other eyes she circled to put herself with Snorri between her and Song to use him as a visual barrier but when he dropped she has looked at the floor, trying no to be seen so she can stealth up if possible and get a sneak attack on him of sorts
2:10 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> You'd have to stealth roll against your other teammates too since he's also seeing through their eyes

2:59 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Song's attack is weak and he vomits mid-swing from the dizzy. Dealing no damage even though ur leg is garbage
2:59 AM Tally it is your turn
2:59 AM <Odocoileus> 4df+6 she shoot him in the tumtum
2:59 AM <Glacon> Odocoileus: she shoot him in the tumtum: 5 (4df+6=+, -, 0, -)
2:59 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> 4df+8
2:59 AM <Glacon> Veiedhimaedhr: 7 (4df+8=-, +, 0, -)
2:59 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> no
2:59 AM <Odocoileus> Bitch!
2:59 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> u shoot him in the wall
3:00 AM Moira it is ur turn now
3:00 AM <%soulonphone> “Song. Tell us your planz.”
3:00 AM *plan
3:00 AM “Please.”
3:01 AM <Varren> Moira is there and eyeball swingin. But she also has pistol. So "HEY SONG!" she shoots at his kneecap
3:01 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> 4df+8
3:01 AM <Varren> 4df+7
3:01 AM <Glacon> Varren: 10 (4df+7=+, 0, +, +)
3:01 AM Veiedhimaedhr: 10 (4df+8=+, 0, +, 0)
3:01 AM <Varren> HA
3:01 AM <War_> oh shit
3:01 AM <Varren> 2d2
3:01 AM <Glacon> Varren: 3 (2d2=2, 1)
3:02 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> You shoot him through the kneecap and he stumbles forward and makes angry noises
3:02 AM And also triggering phase 2
3:02 AM <%soulonphone> Oh boy.
3:02 AM <War_> oh /boy/
3:02 AM <TeslaTornado> oh no.
3:02 AM <Varren> Moira accidentally a mad Song
3:03 AM <Odocoileus> OwO
3:04 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Song vanishes and reappears by the throne again, about 50 meters away, putting him out of range to see through your eyes. Then, like an image being copy-pasted by an inexperienced adobe user, you see him duplicate until there are 6 of him, all mimicking the same movements. And that movement is taking a pill bottle out of his pocket
3:04 AM He is in range of ranged attacks, but not melee attacks
3:05 AM Avery it is your turn. He can no longer see through your eyes
3:05 AM <NeonSkitty> Ranged attacks u say? 👀
3:05 AM <Odocoileus> O.O
3:05 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> and if you want to shoot, you have to choose whether or not to shoot Song1, Song2, Song3, Song4, Song5, or Song6
3:06 AM <%soulonphone> Who is most badly injured?
3:06 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> According to my paper, Maddy is at 9 making him lowest
3:06 AM <War_> he shouldnt be
3:06 AM He should be at 12
3:06 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri fumbles his Valmet back into his hand. "Everyone with guns, start shooting."
3:06 AM <War_> armour
3:06 AM adds 3 to his base health
3:06 AM <%soulonphone> Oh so we’re generally good
3:07 AM <Odocoileus> Tally reloads
3:07 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Ohh. Then ye Maddy is simply ruptured is all
3:07 AM <%soulonphone> 4df+8 science- can be determine which Song is the real Song?
3:07 AM <Glacon> soulonphone: science- can be determine which Song is the real Song?: 9 (4df+8=+, 0, 0, 0)
3:08 AM <Odocoileus> Wait..is..Tally still ruptured then?
3:08 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Unless Tally got a medical dice spent on her, ye
3:08 AM Avery that'd be a perception not a science
3:08 AM <Odocoileus> She has not
3:09 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> enjoy ur continued stay in ruptured land then
3:09 AM <Odocoileus> No!
3:09 AM I will not!
3:10 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Avery u rolling perception?
3:11 AM <%soulonphone> Avery had no perc
3:11 AM <Odocoileus> Wat is the turn order now then?
3:11 AM <%soulonphone> He goes to un rupture tally since that’s all he can do
3:11 AM 1d4 spending one med dice
3:11 AM <Glacon> soulonphone: spending one med dice: 2 (1d4=2)
3:11 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally ruptured land will miss u
3:11 AM <Odocoileus> She full health now too!
3:12 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Now it is Song's turn. He uses it to do drugs
3:12 AM <Odocoileus> "thank you Avery."
3:12 AM Drugs are bad
3:13 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Rebecca it's your turn! There are 6 Song's standing in the distance. They all look identical. You don't know how this anomaly works yet. What do now?
3:13 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca does something complicated.
3:14 AM She removes the magazine from her wrist launcher, flinging the hazard-marked boxmag towards the throne. RNG for throw?
3:14 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> you want to throw against every single Song?
3:15 AM I won't forbid it
3:15 AM <NeonSkitty> Fuck it why not
3:17 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> This might cause things unforseen and potentially unwanted to happen. You don't know how Song's clones work yet
3:17 AM ⇐ @DSJ quit (~PI.CB0980C3.D308B0AD.A79B7A7B|cehtsraeG#PI.CB0980C3.D308B0AD.A79B7A7B|cehtsraeG) Connection reset by peer
3:17 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> R u sure u want to carpet bomb the clone legions?
3:17 AM <NeonSkitty> HMMMMMMMMMMM
3:17 AM → @DSJ (opped) joined
3:18 AM <Odocoileus> Make Wren proud~ >.> Or don't idk
3:19 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca does not throw it, instead looking at Madison and Snorri.
3:19 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Is that ur turn?
3:20 AM <NeonSkitty> Her turn is to ready her rifle instead, and hold fire until the real one is discernable.
3:20 AM *discernible
3:20 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Snorri ur up then!
3:20 AM ⇐ GraemeCracker quit (~ten.sulet.6vpi.691AF0B-CRInys|arCemearG#ten.sulet.6vpi.691AF0B-CRInys|arCemearG) Quit: Leaving
3:21 AM <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (PERC) Snorri observes the clone-Songs carefully, trying to spot any kind of giveaways that one of them might be more meaty than the other five.
3:21 AM <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PERC) Snorri observes the clone-Songs carefully, trying to spot any kind of giveaways that one of them might be more meaty than the other five.: 6 (4df+4=+, -, +, +)
3:22 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Song 4 and Song 2 are not real
3:22 AM Maddy it is ur turn now
3:23 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri points out the two fake Songs.
3:24 AM <War_> GM I appeal to thee
3:24 AM In terms of the boss' entire composition, could the /real/ Song be considered a weakness in the defenses of the collective?
3:24 AM And by that logic can Maddy roll [VITAL POINT] spec to identify the /real/ one?
3:24 AM Since his life sight is fucked and all.
3:24 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Life sight has it's own unique interaction with this
3:24 AM <War_> oh shit
3:24 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> so sure
3:24 AM Dew it and I shall obey the power of the glacon in turn
3:24 AM <War_> Both rolls are going to be a +7 so could he technically do /both/ in one?
3:25 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> sure
3:25 AM y not :3
3:25 AM <War_> 4df+7 glacon please im begging
3:25 AM <Glacon> War_: glacon please im begging: 6 (4df+7=+, -, 0, -)
3:25 AM ↔ TesKin nipped out
3:26 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Song 1 and Song 6 are also not real but…they all have life signs. Different life signs yes…but life signs. These aren't ordinary illusions
3:27 AM <War_> Maddy conveys that 1 and 6 aren't real. But he doesn't even know where to begin describing what else he's seeing.
3:28 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> It is Song's turn now. They all raise their pistols you forgot he had, but suddenly Song 3 turns and shoots Song 1
3:28 AM 4df+8 shoot
3:28 AM <Glacon> Veiedhimaedhr: shoot: 8 (4df+8=0, 0, +, -)
3:28 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> 4df father y do u target me
3:28 AM <Glacon> Veiedhimaedhr: father y do u target me: 0 (4df=0, +, -, 0)
3:28 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> 2d4+1
3:28 AM <Glacon> Veiedhimaedhr: 4 (2d4+1=1, 2)
3:29 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Avery a bullet hole appears in your chest…and you begin to bleed from it. 4 Damage.
3:29 AM <TeslaTornado> oh fuck
3:29 AM <War_> Maddy, being next to Avery, takes /immediate/ note of this
3:30 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> The various Song images Blur and shuffle. There are 5 of them now. Songs 1-5
3:30 AM <War_> And /panics/
3:30 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally it is your turn. Songs 1-5 are available to be shot at, or you could perceive
3:31 AM <War_> "BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU SHOOT -!" he yells, " - THE CLONES ARE BASED ON US -"
3:31 AM <%soulonphone> Avery looks at the blood.
3:31 AM He doesn’t understand.
3:31 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally do u feel lucky or do you want to better the odds with your eyes
3:31 AM <Odocoileus> "w-what they are us?"
3:31 AM <War_> Maddy is trying to stem Avery's bleeding even tho I can't roll right now
3:32 AM <NeonSkitty> "… I have an idea."
3:32 AM <War_> "- YOU HURT THE WRONG CLONE YOU HURT ONE OF US -"
3:32 AM <%soulonphone> Avery looks to Maddy. He squeezes the piece of paper in his hand.
3:32 AM <Varren> Wait can I do stuff or do I need my turn? It's not an attack
3:32 AM <%soulonphone> His jaw sets
3:32 AM <Odocoileus> 4df+5 she looks! D:
3:32 AM <Glacon> Odocoileus: she looks! D:: 6 (4df+5=+, -, +, 0)
3:32 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Song 3 and Song 2 are not real
3:32 AM Moira you're up
3:33 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri looks over at Rebecca. Glances down at her gas cannisters, then back up at her. "Nerve gas is not ideal solution," he says, his voice sounding funny through the broken nose.
3:33 AM <%soulonphone> Maddy- you’re acutely aware that Avery is going to do something very reckless. His face is of when he would wander off by himself.
3:33 AM <NeonSkitty> "That's not the idea."
3:33 AM <War_> Maddy sees that look and bares his teeth slightly while he works. "Don't you dare -"
3:34 AM <%soulonphone> “One. Last.”
3:34 AM “Try, Madison.”
3:34 AM <Varren> Moira crouches and pulls up her Kraut space magic rifle and her knife, she scopes in on the clones and just watches. "Everyone take out a blade and cut your own cheek a little." She slide her knife along her upper cheek where his beard isnt covering and watches to see if a cut appears in the clones
3:35 AM <War_> " - you've been shot I can't let you go and do stupid shit -"
3:35 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> one does not appear. You can still roll perception tho
3:35 AM <Odocoileus> "two and three? Maybe?"
3:35 AM <Varren> "Shit. Nevermind…." she grumbles and yeah, she is looking
3:35 AM 4df+5
3:35 AM <Glacon> Varren: 5 (4df+5=-, 0, +, 0)
3:36 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> ooh that's a 5. Song 5 is not real.
3:36 AM <NeonSkitty> "… I'm out of ideas."
3:36 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Avery either Song 1 or Song 4 is real
3:36 AM <Varren> "Fifth isnt real!"
3:36 AM <%soulonphone> Avery scans over the Songs and the layout. He memorizes. Dedicates to memory.
3:36 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri glances at Rebecca and frowns a bit. "Then we are going to die."
3:36 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> They all hold make the same action, raising the gun
3:36 AM They will not defend if you attack
3:37 AM <%soulonphone> “I’m sorry, Madison. I promised to listen.”
3:37 AM <Odocoileus> Tally looks very anxious
3:38 AM <War_> " - don't -"
3:39 AM Kaeru → %KaeruDreams
3:40 AM <NeonSkitty> 5, 3, and 2 are fake, right?
3:40 AM and 4?
3:40 AM <Odocoileus> Yes
3:41 AM <TeslaTornado> 2, 3, 5, correct.
3:41 AM <Odocoileus> ^
3:41 AM <NeonSkitty> So that leaves 1 and 6.
3:41 AM <TeslaTornado> 1, 4 are unconfirmed.
3:41 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> there's not 6 on this phase
3:41 AM <TeslaTornado> 6 stopped existing after they shot each other last time.
3:41 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> 1 and 4
3:41 AM <NeonSkitty> Ah right.
3:41 AM Whose turn is it?
3:42 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> avery's
3:42 AM <NeonSkitty> Aight
3:43 AM <%soulonphone> Avery maintains his gaze on one option of the room, and sneaks up to the songs. Close enough to read.
3:43 AM 4df+6
3:43 AM <Glacon> soulonphone: 6 (4df+6=+, 0, -, 0)
3:43 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> 4df+8 Mental hardeners metabolism
3:43 AM <Glacon> Veiedhimaedhr: Mental hardeners metabolism: 9 (4df+8=-, +, +, 0)
3:44 AM <War_> Maddy had tried to make a mad grab for Avery but, inevitably, failed because his broken leg buckled beneath him, leaving him a lump on the floor
3:44 AM <%soulonphone> How did mental hardeners boost his perc? Rude
3:44 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> wait his perc?
3:44 AM I thought he rolled antipsy when exposed to that
3:44 AM <Varren> Moira ain't even looking at avery, she is looking at snorri, trying to think of something better than process of looking
3:45 AM <%soulonphone> Nope this is perc
3:45 AM He’s sneaking
3:45 AM Towards Song
3:46 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> well he can't see u cuz Moira took his eyeball necklace so
3:46 AM 4df+6
3:46 AM <Glacon> Veiedhimaedhr: 8 (4df+6=-, +, +, +)
3:46 AM <%soulonphone> Once he’s close enough, he reads.
3:47 AM 4df+8 vs himself
3:47 AM <Glacon> soulonphone: vs himself: 7 (4df+8=-, 0, -, +)
3:47 AM <%soulonphone> 1d4 boost?
3:47 AM <Glacon> soulonphone: boost?: 2 (1d4=2)
3:47 AM <%soulonphone> Attackers clause on both of these poor smacks!
3:48 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Well… the clones dont go away when they're found to be fake
3:49 AM <%soulonphone> ( I’m taking songs 9 as his def to reading since no eyes means fail sneak?)
3:49 AM *9 as antipsy def
3:49 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> (ye sure)
3:49 AM <%soulonphone> 1d10 mhealth damage vs both
3:49 AM <Glacon> soulonphone: mhealth damage vs both: 2 (1d10=2)
3:49 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> all 5 u mean
3:49 AM <%soulonphone> Can I rrotd that
3:49 AM Wait why all 5
3:49 AM Only Song has the reading effect?
3:50 AM *eye effect
3:50 AM <TeslaTornado> They're all Song.
3:50 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Oh wait no I get what you mean
3:50 AM Ye sure 2 damage to both
3:50 AM <%soulonphone> Can I rrotd that damage lol
3:50 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> sure. It applies to you too
3:51 AM <%soulonphone> Either way, this causes Avery to fall into unconsciousness, and should also cause Song the same- or something else severe
3:51 AM 1d10 rrotd
3:51 AM <Glacon> soulonphone: rrotd: 6 (1d10=6)
3:51 AM <%soulonphone> Better
3:51 AM Avery quietly slumps in his hiding spot.
3:52 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> All of the song's stop moving and go into a daze
3:52 AM Skipping his turn. Rebecca it's your turn
3:52 AM <NeonSkitty> Are they all disabled for the time being?
3:53 AM <%soulonphone> /You were there with us, weren’t you?//
3:53 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> They're all mimicking the same daze/mindfuck sway
3:53 AM <War_> " - get Avery outta there else he's screwed!"
3:53 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> you know which ones are fake
3:54 AM <NeonSkitty> 5, 3, and 2. Rebecca actually goes up to them if she can without them reacting!
3:54 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> sure u can
3:54 AM <NeonSkitty> She flicks both 1 and 4 on the nose. >_>
3:55 AM Very cautiously.
3:55 AM <_<
3:56 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Tally you feel your nose get flicked after Rebecca flicks 1
3:56 AM <Odocoileus> She winces "ow!"
3:57 AM <War_> Maddy in the mean time goes about setting and splinting his leg. Seeing as apparently he's gonna have to do shit himself
3:57 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca nods, then locks the Claymore magazine to her wrist launcher. "I've found our quarry." She raises the thing and points it at 4's head.
3:58 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Your turn was to flick the nose tho so now it's Maddy's turn
3:58 AM <NeonSkitty> Aight!
3:58 AM <War_> Maddy is gonna splint his leg so he can haul ass and get Avery out of harm's way seeing as he's literally unconscious
3:59 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> that's a medical roll pls to unrupture urself
3:59 AM <War_> 1d4 glacon baby please
3:59 AM <Glacon> War_: glacon baby please: 3 (1d4=3)
3:59 AM <Varren> Moira hasnt bothered because they arent being directly attacked so she figures he is either safe or not mattering in the clone that is attacked
3:59 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> U r unruptured. Song breaks out of his daze and sees the grenade launcher pointed in front of him. It is his turn
4:00 AM <War_> Maddy scrambles to get Avery out of the way in the mean time. This hurts like fuck however
4:00 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> .ch 1, 2, 3, 5
4:00 AM <Glacon> Veiedhimaedhr: 2
4:00 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> oh no
4:00 AM <War_> please don't tell me that's me
4:00 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Song turns and shoots Song 2 quickly
4:00 AM 2d2+2
4:00 AM <Glacon> Veiedhimaedhr: 5 (2d2+2=1, 2)

4:02 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Wait a fukn minute. I accidentally skipped snorri
4:02 AM Snorri it's your turn
4:04 AM <TeslaTornado> \\boy what a fucking time to skip me ain't it :V
4:04 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> :V

4:04 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Ur turn is after Rebecca's so you know which one is which anyway
4:04 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri takes a good, long look at Real!Song. And then he grins. He first walks, then takes off at a sprint towards Real!Song, and then attempts to deliver a flying knee to his face.
4:05 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> 4df no defending allowed in the Grand Clone Army of the Republic
4:05 AM <Glacon> Veiedhimaedhr: no defending allowed in the Grand Clone Army of the Republic: 0 (4df=0, -, +, 0)

4:06 AM <Varren> Ouch
4:06 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Roll that damage
4:06 AM <TeslaTornado> 1d4 I think unarmed damage counts as light?????
4:06 AM <Glacon> TeslaTornado: I think unarmed damage counts as light?????: 3 (1d4=3)
4:09 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Your two feet go into his head and there's a snap. The Song's around Song 4 vanish and the real one falls back neck twisted at a strange angle. A tape recorder flies out his tattered lab coat and slides across the ground, the last of his mental hardeners spill out over the ground, and he is still.
4:09 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri sprawls as he hits the ground, letting out a pained wince and a grunt as he does so.
4:10 AM He stands up. Stumbles a bit, dusts his pants off. Then moves towards Song.
4:10 AM <Varren> Moira also moves towards Song. Rifle raised to aim at his head. As she approaches she grins at Snorri. He did good
4:11 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca sighs exhaustedly, turning and running over the Maddy and the unconscious Avery.
4:11 AM <War_> Please don't run us over
4:11 AM <NeonSkitty> *to
4:11 AM not the
4:11 AM >_>
4:12 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> vroom vroom
4:12 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri kneels down. Looks at Song's broken neck.
4:13 AM <NeonSkitty> "Are you alright?"
4:13 AM <TeslaTornado> He makes an odd face. Reaches down and touches his fingers to Song's carotid artery.
4:13 AM Always double check.
4:13 AM <Varren> Moira frowns. "Me make sure…fuel from the boat and a flare. Dont want his fuckin ghost showing up in my dreams."
4:13 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Snorri, you don't find a pulse. Song is the newest member to the 'was once alive but is now not so much' club
4:14 AM <Varren> Moira plans to make that more so
4:14 AM <War_> "Leg bloody hurts…" he wheezes out. His face has gone an ashy sort of colour.
4:14 AM "Avery's been shot. Needs looking at."
4:14 AM <Varren> "I will go get the fuel and a flare." She jogs back to the boat for this stuff
4:15 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri sighs. He gives Song's corpse that look again. Then he moves over to Maddy and kneels down, getting one of Maddy's arms over his shoulder and lifting him up.
4:15 AM He looks at Maddy, and is all concern.
4:15 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> do any of you do anything with the last tape recorder?
4:16 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri picked it up.
4:16 AM He'll listen to it once they're out of the castle and on the boat.
4:16 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> aight
4:16 AM <Varren> Moira will come back and go through Songs stuff. He have anything?
4:16 AM <War_> Maddy just manages a very wobbly grin at Snorri. "Whassat face for…?"
4:16 AM <Varren> Moira wants loot that isnt an eyeball necklace
4:16 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> nothing much really. just more notes and scribblings
4:17 AM <Varren> She takes them and then pours the gasoline on his corpse
4:17 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca gets out her medkit, and attempts to help Maddy. "I'll do what I can here, but you'll have to help Avery when we get him back to the boat. I'm no surgeon."
4:17 AM <Varren> Then ignites the flare and tosses it on, nothing left to haunt. None of that hun bullshit
4:17 AM <War_> "I've already put a splint on my leg, it's fine -"
4:17 AM <Varren> Nun
4:17 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Song is now completely nonexistant
4:17 AM <War_> Maddy also cannot gain any more health as he cannot gain back the lost armour HP!
4:17 AM <TeslaTornado> Like, his body has just disappeared?
4:17 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> not as much as Wren, mind you, but still
4:17 AM no its ash
4:18 AM <NeonSkitty> "… Alright."
4:18 AM <TeslaTornado> Oh, Moira. Oh. Okay.
4:18 AM Snorri looks at Moira.
4:18 AM "… How do we prove to Ethics Committee that Song is actually dead if you have burned body?"
4:18 AM His voice sounds weird with the broken nose.
4:18 AM <War_> "They'll know…considering the state of us.."
4:19 AM <NeonSkitty> "Because our people are hurt but we're the ones that came back, Steffanson."
4:19 AM <Varren> "Alright he is fuckin gone. Let's extract and relay what happened." She probably snagged his tags and the pills as evidence. And she still has the eyeballs
4:19 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri grunts. "Once doctor Solace is stabilized, I will carry him to boat."
4:20 AM He adjusts his hold on Maddy and helps the chonk move to the boat for extraction.
4:20 AM Then comes back for Avery.
4:20 AM <Varren> "They didnt ask for a body. And why do we have a reason to lie? We killed him. Simple'nuff." She grins at Snorri "I can help Maddy Big Boy. You get Twitch."
4:22 AM Moira moves to take Maddy from Snorri so they can get moving
4:22 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> Once you're all in the boat, you can skip to return back to Cambodia
4:22 AM <Varren> "Can we leave? I am worried our trip back will awaken some weird oil tentacle monster…" she goes that's way with Maddy
4:23 AM <NeonSkitty> Rebecca pulls the cassette player from her pouch, putting her headphones on and listening to music while she drives the boat back. Iron Maiden's Fear Of The Dark is faintly audible from her headset.
4:23 AM <TeslaTornado> Snorri gets his skip on.
4:23 AM <NeonSkitty> Beside that, she's quiet on the drive back.
4:23 AM <TeslaTornado> He listens to Song's final recording on the boat ride back.
4:23 AM <Varren> What about the tape player?
4:24 AM <War_> Maddy basically crumples once he's on the boat, lying face-up on the desk. By now he's sweating from the pain, his eyes dark.
4:24 AM <Varren> Oh there we go
4:24 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> I'll conclude the run with the tape recording
4:24 AM <TeslaTornado> \\everyone take your prozac now
4:24 AM <Varren> Skip time?!
4:25 AM <NeonSkitty> SKIP TIME
4:25 AM <War_> YEET
4:25 AM ⇐ TesKin quit (~moc.rr.ser.ynts.085917B3-CRInys|madA#moc.rr.ser.ynts.085917B3-CRInys|madA) Quit: Off I go, into that big blue abyss
4:25 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> «I have never despised my choice of academic study until now. The only thing standing between me, and the end of the Monomyth, is a login screen. It is a login screen I have seen before…and the UIU have it. Case File UT7161277.»
4:25 AM ⇐ Odocoileus quit (moc.duolccri.notlrahc.F6DD051B-CRInys|171213diu#moc.duolccri.notlrahc.F6DD051B-CRInys|171213diu) Quit: nini
4:26 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> You return to Cambodia and the EC people take one look inside the boat before turning and leaving. Melly is nowhere to be found, and Site-72 staff point you to medical and/or the dropship after relieving you of your tape recorders to make copies
4:26 AM (FIN)
11:23 PM <War_> Maddy READ
11:24 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Dont be scared, you're only here because you can choose which parts of the file to read. Biography, post-mission reports, operational history and really anything you want
11:24 PM <%soulonphone> Avery reads.
11:25 PM <War_> A l l o f i t
11:25 PM Gimmie that exposition babey!!!
11:25 PM <%soulonphone> He reads operational history.
11:27 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Avery first cuz brevity. Avery you see that for the brief time Song was an active duty operative, he had more or less sub-par abilities (stats) but was almost never injured
11:28 PM Now for the exposition dump for Maddy *takes breath*
11:30 PM Song was born in a time and place that's been redacted. When recruited, he was sort of like you, a field medic who dabbled in anomalous sciences. Well, like you, he got exposed to an anomaly that took his eyes and gave him the questionable privilege of seeing through other people's eyes. He dived back into operative work, and got recruited by Archibald Holihan for [BIG REDACTED STUFF]. Upon returning, he mostly spent his
11:30 PM time researching anomalous sciences…with an odd focus on curing exposure to anomalies until suddenly requesting a transfer to Site-15 after the first Brakerman's Rest operation
11:31 PM <%soulonphone> Avery scans over Maddys shoulder because he’s annoying loke thatz
11:31 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Return to HI1 cuz the gang's all here
11:33 PM <War_> Maddy frowns. Is there any clarification for this sudden transfer?
11:33 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> It says it was a personal request
11:33 PM You also read, cuz the narrator forgot, that Song was noted to prefer going to a dojo outside of work
11:34 PM before he got his eyes removed by magic shit
11:34 PM <War_> …martial arts?
11:35 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> yes
11:35 PM martial arts
11:35 PM It says he didn't get very far with it by the time he had to quit going there
11:37 PM <War_> Huh.
11:37 PM "Anything sticking out for you?" He asks Avery
11:54 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> Avery you play the tape and the gm writes out a big chunk of text
11:54 PM <%soulonphone> Avery plays that tape!
11:55 PM <Varren> Moira returns with a bunch of tags and tucks them over her head to hang around her neck. No idea how man she has by now.
11:56 PM <Veiedhimaedhr> «The bodies in the oil are not dead. Not really. Of course they cannot breathe, or circulate blood, or keep a heartbeat…but they are conscious if unmoving. Aware even. I can see through their eyes, and the ones who are floating on their backs make navigation a difficult, but possible task. This makes my team unnecessary, but their mental hardeners are still required. I'll take care of them. This place is my perdition,
11:56 PM my grave…but I will not go into it peacefully. From hell's heart, Monomyth, I strike at thee."
11:56 PM »*
11:57 PM «There is no need for food and water here. The wind I will investigate, but the threat to my sanity is immense. I cannot operate effecitvely, if I drive myself mad from simply existing here.»
11:58 PM «The working hypothesis for the wind: the Monomyth is moving. I will investigate further, but first there is extra weight that must be released.»
Monday, March 18th, 2019
12:19 AM <TeslaTornado> \\ready
12:21 AM <%soulonphone> (Avery also listens)
12:21 AM <Veiedhimaedhr> «I know where Juskaraag-12 is. Everyone's an idiot. That train car was sitting as a museum exhibit for YEARS with no problem whatsoever. Everything the Monomyth corrupts CAN be an anchor that spreads insanity and ruptures reality, but not everything IS until it is activated. What activated the locomotive in Brakerman's Rest? The Marshall Carter and Dark Facility UNDER Brakerman's Rest. We found every other train car off
12:21 AM the coast of Ireland or off the coast of Australia being used as artificial reefs. It was only one of two locations. But all of that is irrelevant. ALL of it! If I am right, I have found a way to destroy the Monomyth. And not a moment too soon. It is moving, to our planet, fast. At its current rate, it will arrive on March, 29, 2019.»
12:22 AM «If it is not killed now, I hope someone else does it soon. We do not have all the time in the world anymore. It. Is. Interested.»
12:23 AM The tape ends
