2:01 PM <Fae> Evan reports.
2:05 PM <Wixelt> Wilson turns up, looking somewhat like he doesn't want to be here.
2:06 PM <SpookyBee> In the briefing room, Duncan sits behind a desk, with a long-range radio scanner behind him, and some folders before him, strewn across the desk- He actually seems awake today! "… Morning, crew- Please, take a seat." He nods to the two current attendees…
2:06 PM <Wixelt> Wilson nods, before sitting directly opposite Duncan.
2:08 PM <Fae> Evan takes a seat.
2:10 PM → Soulless joined (lluks.ruoy.fo.trofmoc.eht.edisni.teg.ot.stn|w#lluks.ruoy.fo.trofmoc.eht.edisni.teg.ot.stn|w)
2:10 PM <Soulless> Rolf arrives! He is late and also panting!
2:11 PM <SpookyBee> "So, uh… This all today?" He rubs his head a little, seeming slightly worried- But smiles as Rolf enters! "Ah! Lovely- More! Uuuuh… Righto, anyways… Onto the briefing." Duncan slides the folders to the respectively-taken seats, then gestures to an empty one, for Rolf!
2:12 PM <Fae> Evan looks over the contents of the folder.
2:12 PM <Wixelt> Wilson flips open the folder and browses it.
2:15 PM <SpookyBee> There are several maps and old blueprints, mostly in some other language- But some of it's been translated to English, giving various POI's along varous areas. Mostly overhead camera imagery of an old town, surrounded by dense jungle, possibly an old warsite. "So… For the past five days, one of our listening outposts, in Bokslov, has been receiving odd
2:15 PM <SpookyBee> radio signals coming from a nearby mining town… Not supposed to be anything out there, it's been abandoned for a few years."
2:16 PM <Fae> "What kind of odd radio signals?"
2:16 PM <Wixelt> "What sort of signals?" Wilson asks, "Anything like coded messages?"
2:17 PM <Soulless> Rolf listens!
2:17 PM <Soulless> He is dead silent as he looks over. Hm.
2:17 PM <SpookyBee> "Uh… We're /really/ not sure- One of our boys working the receiver thought it might be a Russian numbers station, but one of our moles said they've got nothing like this. It's like, uh… Well, nothing we've really seen before, to be honest."
2:18 PM <Wixelt> "What does it sound like?"
2:18 PM <Wixelt> Wilson frowns.
2:19 PM <SpookyBee> "Here- Listen. It plays almost twenty-four seven, and we've got the long-range receiver set up." Duncan rolls back in his chair, moving over to the radio box!
2:20 PM <Wixelt> Wilson listens intently.
2:21 PM <SpookyBee> What comes through sounds like a constant track of sounds not unlike this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyBWw2jynIw

2:22 PM <SpookyBee> Heavy static is in the background, with various other odd, wavering sounds, but the strange muttering is the most audible.
2:22 PM <Fae> "…Well, that's bizare."
2:22 PM <Wixelt> Wilson frowns at this.
2:22 PM <Soulless> "…"
2:22 PM <Soulless> Rolf rubs his hands together.
2:22 PM <Wixelt> He has a code breaker skill. Can he use it to attempt to discern what this could be?
2:23 PM <SpookyBee> He… He can /try/.
2:23 PM <Wixelt> (That'd be Academics + Skill. That's okay, right?)
2:23 PM <SpookyBee> (Yep!)

2:24 PM <Glacon> Wixelt: Acad+Codebreak: 8 (4df+10=-, -, +, -)
2:26 PM <Soulless> brb burned myself
2:26 PM <SpookyBee> … It's not a cypher or code, but some form of Chinese, possibly an offshoot of Cantonese, but it's entirely off track from anything the Foundation has on record- Possibly more advanced. Without a translator, it's a useless task deciphering it. "See… We've got no real grounds on how to work off of this."
2:26 PM <Wixelt> (Ouch)
2:26 PM <SpookyBee> (Oh goodness…)
2:27 PM <Wixelt> "I don't really know Chinese that well, but that definitely sounds like something from that region of language."
2:27 PM <Wixelt> "Anything more than that would just be guess work."
2:30 PM <SpookyBee> "Mm… Only real issue is that Bokslov is in India, and not China. The area has no tactical advantage for, well… Whatever Chinese militants would want it for. The listening post has a small security team in it- But they're for protection only, they're not kitted out for scouting or containment."
2:32 PM <Wixelt> "Which I take it is why we've been called."
2:32 PM <Wixelt> Wilson grimaces.
2:34 PM <SpookyBee> "Mmhm. There hasn't been any visible activity from the tower that we can see, so… We're not expecting much- But it's best to head out prepared. If you need to, you can radio into the tower for backup- There's a heliport a few miles off we've commandeered for, well… Fast-response backup, and we've got a secondary team on backup ready in case something
2:34 PM <SpookyBee> goes wrong."
2:35 PM <Wixelt> "What sort of taskforce is available that quickly?"
2:36 PM <SpookyBee> "Just some boys from Psi-7, we've got them out for some maintenance on a field transport- Nothing serious. But we have them withheld out there for emergencies."
2:37 PM <Wixelt> "More of ours then."
2:37 PM <Wixelt> If Wilson has any outstanding opinion about that, he doesn't voice it.
2:38 PM <SpookyBee> "Aye, yes." Duncan nods, then looks to Rolf and Evan. "… Any input?"
2:39 PM <Soulless> "Not much. Let's begin?"
2:39 PM <Wixelt> "What sort of equipment should be taking?"
2:39 PM <Fae> Evan mulls over it. "Make sure that the backup has plenty of containment gear in case we find something."
2:40 PM <Fae> "Also, keep those scanners tuned over as many frequencies as you can and let us know if there's any obvious fluctuations."
2:41 PM <SpookyBee> "Absolutely- Get whatever equipment you need, and get to the trainstation. It'll be taking you to an airfield, which'll be airdropping you into the area." Duncan nods to Evan, then looks to Wilson. "For the sake of safety, I'd say at least one firearm, and whatever you might think you'll need- But bring a radio."
2:41 PM <Wixelt> Wilson nods, then blanches.
2:41 PM <Wixelt> "More jumping out of planes. Joy…"
2:42 PM <Soulless> "Been a while since I did that."
2:42 PM <Soulless> He smiles, and hides his nervousness.
2:42 PM <SpookyBee> "I don't like throwin' you boys out of 'em either… I hate planes- But we need to get going, for all we know this is time sensitive." He gestures to the door!
2:42 PM <SpookyBee> Does anyone bring the maps?
2:42 PM <Wixelt> "I avoid it now whenever possible." Wilson stands and heads to the door.
2:43 PM <Wixelt> Wilson acquires a map, as well as a radio, his handgun, his M14 and one of his crowbars.
2:43 PM <Wixelt> He also changes into something more suitable for the field.
2:44 PM <Fae> Evan brings the maps, and makes mental notes about them.
2:45 PM <Fae> He also brings his investigating things, a gun (which he probably won't use), a radio, and his coat.
2:45 PM <Soulless> Rolf brings a map, a bit of water and food, a handgun, and his trusty knife.
2:45 PM <Soulless> Along with his regular radio and rope and the ike.
2:46 PM <SpookyBee> For anyone looking over the maps- There are a few notable locations marked on it; An abandoned weapons warehouse, a schoolhouse, an abandoned mine entrance, and an old broadcasting building. All for skipping to the plane jump?
2:46 PM <Wixelt> Yup
2:46 PM <Wixelt> (Wait, the start of the plane jump or in the middle of it?)
2:47 PM <SpookyBee> (Start)
2:47 PM <Wixelt> (kay)
2:47 PM <Wixelt> (No jump cut to Wilson screaming his head off then)
2:47 PM <SpookyBee> (Fae? Soulless? You two up for timeskipping to the jump?)
2:48 PM <Fae> (yup. Before they do, evan suggests they check the broadcasting building)
2:48 PM <Soulless> (shore)
2:50 PM <SpookyBee> After a good amount of time, you all find your ways off to the plane, and after yet another ride, you'll all find yourselves high in the sky, with parachutes and your gear! An assistant in the plane yanks the hatch open, giving you all the all-clear for jumping!
2:51 PM <Wixelt> Wilson sucks in a deep breath, then cheeses it off the plane
2:51 PM <Wixelt> The others will hear a continuous chain of rather colourful swears fading off into the distance.
2:51 PM <Fae> Evan jumps and goes through the motions. He's done this a few times.
2:52 PM <Soulless> Rolf jumps and follows the motions exactly, but with some clumsiness. He is very very good at hiding his nervousness and fear.
2:52 PM <SpookyBee> Everyone, roll 4df+4
2:53 PM <Wixelt> 4df+4
2:53 PM <Glacon> Wixelt: 3 (4df+4=0, 0, 0, -)

2:54 PM <Soulless> 4df+4 ??
2:54 PM <Glacon> Soulless: ??: 5 (4df+4=+, +, -, 0)
2:57 PM <SpookyBee> … Wow. Not one fail. You all manage to pull your cords at the right time, and you all land with relatively little spread. Where you all land is beside an old, crumbling commissary. But… The place looks a hell of a lot different than it did from the aerial shots. Buildings are falling apart, with holes in the walls not unlike shelling zones and
2:57 PM <SpookyBee> bullet-impact areas, and dust is heavy in the air. As far as any of you can tell, you're the only ones here. The commissary door hangs off its hinges, and the windows are broken- It looks pretty empty from where you can all see it.
2:59 PM <Wixelt> "Hell's teeth…" Wilson breathes.
2:59 PM <Soulless> Rolf quickly finds a spot to survey away.
2:59 PM <Soulless> He also puts his shit away in case they were spotted.
2:59 PM <SpookyBee> Rolf, perception!
2:59 PM <Soulless> 4df+5 wot's all dis den
2:59 PM <Glacon> Soulless: wot's all dis den: 5 (4df+5=-, -, +, +)
2:59 PM <Wixelt> Wilson glances around, immediately seeking to take in anything of interest, down to the smallest details.
3:00 PM <SpookyBee> The way the east side of the small commissary building is crumbled, you could climb up onto the remaining roof- As well, the inside looks well enough to enter and check out.
3:00 PM <SpookyBee> Wilson, perception as well, then!
3:00 PM <Wixelt> 4df+10 (Perc+Detail)
3:00 PM <Glacon> Wixelt: (Perc+Detail): 12 (4df+10=+, +, +, -)
3:02 PM <Fae> Evan also looks!
3:02 PM <Fae> 4df+6
3:02 PM <Glacon> Fae: 7 (4df+6=+, +, 0, -)
3:02 PM <SpookyBee> … Damn son- Wilson, through the shattered windows of the commissary, you can see a skeleton slouched against the far wall, a pistol of some kind in its hand, with three unfired rounds on the ground beside the firearm. Evan, you'll find a rusted combat knife lodged into the outside wall of the building.
3:03 PM <Fae> "Looks like a fight of some sort."
3:03 PM <Wixelt> Wilson peers at it.
3:04 PM <SpookyBee> Wilson, for more detail, you'll have to go inside! The ground around you is mostly crumbled stone and debris, not unlike an urban battlefield.
3:04 PM <Wixelt> "Looks like it didn't last long." Wilson gestures to the window, before heading over it to get a better look at the skeleton.
3:05 PM <Soulless> Can Rolf study for any signs of strategic information left in the form of markings or grafitti anywhere?
3:05 PM <Soulless> Making certain buildings as trapped, others as safe, etc?
3:10 PM <SpookyBee> The pistol in the skeleton's hand is a Colt .45 Python revolver, and the skeleton, itself, is in grey military fatigues. The entire ribcage is caved in, like it's been smashed with a hammer. Rolf, you find some scattered papers on the roof, beside what appears to be some kind of destroyed anti-tank rifle.
3:10 PM <Soulless> Rolf begins to read the papers best he can.
3:10 PM <Fae> Evan keeps an eye out for evidence of anomalies.
3:12 PM <SpookyBee> Rolf, unfortunately the language these papers are written in appears to be some form Indian- Which there are many of- Nothing you can read- But it's in a format not unlike a diary, with dates and the like on the top.
3:12 PM <SpookyBee> Evan, roll PERCEPTION if you'd like!
3:12 PM <Fae> 4df+6
3:12 PM <Glacon> Fae: 7 (4df+6=+, 0, 0, 0)
3:13 PM <Soulless> Rolf hmms. He stashes the papers for later.
3:13 PM <Wixelt> Wilson crouches in front of the skeleton, grimacing deeply. "What happened to you…"
3:13 PM <SpookyBee> You can see what appears to be faint smoke, off a little down the broken rode, coming from a destroyed building.
3:14 PM <Fae> "Ey, there's some smoke coming from over there," he informs the other two.
3:14 PM <SpookyBee> Wilson, the skeleton doesn't answer you- But the pistol looks like it's still in working order! Colt .45… Nice gun.
3:14 PM <Soulless> "Wonder what happened here. Shall we head out?"
3:14 PM <Soulless> Rolf is of little use here.
3:14 PM <Wixelt> He's briefly tempted to take the Colt, but decides again it as he doesn't want to desecrate a dead body this old.
3:15 PM <SpookyBee> … Wilson, you'll note that there aren't really any signs of aging on this body- Just some scorch marks here and there.
3:15 PM <Wixelt> If he really needs it, he knows where it is.
3:16 PM <Wixelt> "…incinerated?" he frown, "No, the clothing is still intact…"
3:16 PM <Wixelt> Does the skeleton look recent?
3:16 PM <Soulless> "Wilson?"
3:16 PM <SpookyBee> … Surprisingly, yes. It seems more like whatever non-skeletal parts were simply burned off, clean, too.
3:16 PM <Wixelt> And the gun too. Older or newer?
3:17 PM <SpookyBee> It's a relatively new gun! A little dusty, but it's been fired recently.
3:17 PM <Wixelt> Wilson's eyes widen. "Oh…"
3:17 PM <Wixelt> "Oh dear."
3:17 PM <Wixelt> He looks at the unused rounds.
3:17 PM <Wixelt> "You didn't even know what happened, did you?"
3:18 PM <SpookyBee> There are three- all .45 magnums.
3:18 PM <Fae> "Wilson?"
3:19 PM <Wixelt> Wilson looks over his shoulder, "I really think you ought to see this?"
3:19 PM <Wixelt> He's inside the commisary.
3:19 PM <Wixelt> *-?

3:19 PM <SpookyBee> The skeleton remains where it is- It must have had a long, tiring night.
3:20 PM <Wixelt> Wilson looks back at it, frowning.
3:21 PM <Fae> Evan goes to check it out. Does he fid what Wilson does?
3:21 PM <SpookyBee> He does!
3:21 PM <Fae> "…Ooooh. Yeah, that's not good."
3:21 PM <Wixelt> Wilson looks at him. "…this body is recent."
3:21 PM <Soulless> Rolf heads down and- oh.
3:21 PM <Soulless> He pulls out the sheafs of paper he found. "Found this, too. Diary notes by the look of it."
3:21 PM <Fae> "…Now might be a good time to mention that I saw smoke down the road."
3:22 PM <Wixelt> "Everything's just been burnt away and-" Wilson frowns, "Let's go, then."
3:22 PM <Wixelt> He picks up the Colt from the body, as well as all of the rounds.
3:22 PM <Fae> "Exactly. /Burnt/ away. That's what cancerns me."
3:22 PM <Wixelt> He loads as many as he can fit, and stores the rest.
3:22 PM <Fae> concerns*
3:23 PM <Wixelt> "This man probably didn't even have time to react to what what happening." Wilson takes one last look at the body, blanching, before turning away.
3:23 PM <SpookyBee> The three rounds all go in- All of the shells in it were fired off.
3:23 PM <Wixelt> Wilson looks over the gun.
3:24 PM <Wixelt> "Are either of you a good shot? This would be wasted on me."
3:24 PM <SpookyBee> It's in fine condition! Smoke continues to gently rise from the off-set building down the road.
3:24 PM <Soulless> Rolf shrugs and keeps a straight face. "I'm not a great shooter. I can shoot."
3:24 PM <Fae> Evan shakes his head.

3:27 PM <Soulless> Rolf takes the gun. He holds it in his hand, weighs it, and then heads off.
3:28 PM <Wixelt> Wilson, content with this, follows.
3:29 PM <Fae> Evan also follows, keeping an eye out for danger.
3:29 PM <SpookyBee> The road's got some broken-down and destroyed cars here and there, and some wagons with burns on them- But the building's almost entirely crumbled on, well… ENGINEERING or SCIENCE, all of you, when you reach the building.
3:31 PM <Soulless> Rolf has neither.

3:31 PM <Glacon> Wixelt: Scienceman!: 7 (4df+6=+, 0, -, +)

3:33 PM <Wixelt> Wilson frowns at it, then gestures so the others will notice. "That… doesn't seem like it belongs here."
3:34 PM <SpookyBee> It's got holes in the hull, and massive dents and severed cables here and there- But it seems to be some form of large, industrial-class machine. The pod on one side of it has a single unfired warhead left, and the other weapon is bent to an unhealthy-looking angle.

3:35 PM <Soulless> Rolf handles his radio. He can't talk with machines.
3:35 PM <Wixelt> Does it look… human?
3:36 PM <SpookyBee> It looks like it /could/ have been made with some kind of advanced technology /somewhere/ in the world, but it certainly doesn't look human- It would stand somewhere around five meters in height, if it wasn't half-buried under rubble.
3:36 PM Sleepobasher → Orionbasher
3:36 PM <Wixelt> He meant made by human hands.

3:38 PM <Fae> "Yeah…"
3:38 PM <Wixelt> Wilson frowns, "Could be human, but if it is it's too advanced to be made in our time."
3:39 PM <SpookyBee> Evan, you don't learn anything new- But circling the thing, you'll find one of the feet sticking out of the pile of rubble… The ankle is warped and melted down- It would have caused absurd damage, and crippled whatever this thing was.
3:39 PM <Fae> "Kind of makes you wonder what could have damaged it like this."
3:39 PM <Wixelt> Wilson walks around to where Evan is and frowns.
3:40 PM <Wixelt> "Best guess?" he grimaces, "The same thing that killed our unfortunate friend back there."
3:40 PM <Fae> "Yup. Got a feeling heat-resistant suits wouldn't do much to deter it, either."
3:40 PM <Wixelt> "I'd imagine…"

3:41 PM <SpookyBee> Good guess, Evan! By now, the metal's cooled off, and it can be touched safely.
3:41 PM <Wixelt> ~Where's Katie when you need her. She'd probably know what this was immediately…~ Wilson frowns to himself, drawing on any past learned knowledge he might have.
3:41 PM <Soulless> "We should be careful to avoid a fight. We ain't got the combat ability for it."
3:42 PM <Fae> Evan looks around. "Might be a good idea to call in backup and report what we've found so far. We've only got one descent shot between the three of us, and I get the feeling that we'll just get toasted if we run into it." He investigates the foot some more.
3:42 PM <Wixelt> "Agreed."
3:42 PM <Wixelt> Wilson pulls out his radio.
3:43 PM <Soulless> Rolf calls out. <So, we'll need backup. We have found the remains of some bodies, cleanly burned with no indication of struggle, and also a large, futuristic technology that is most likely a weapon.>
3:44 PM <Fae> "And the high tech weapon got hit with something really powerful to cause this much damage."
3:44 PM <Wixelt> "Likely the same thing the killed the soldiers here."
3:47 PM <SpookyBee> The radio fuzzes to life! «Roger- We're getting someone kitted out now, sending a chopper your way. Can you give us coordinates?» There's a graphing grid on the maps, Evan. That'd help with /that/ part.
3:48 PM <Fae> Evan relays the coordinates. He is a gr8 navigator.
3:48 PM <Soulless> Rolf lets Evan and Wilson take off.
3:48 PM <Soulless> *take over
3:48 PM <Soulless> He knows to be quiet and just wait.
3:49 PM <Wixelt> Wilson goes back to the 'mech', searching for any more clues about who made it, when, and what it was caught up in?
3:50 PM <SpookyBee> Wilson- SCI or ENG!
3:50 PM <Wixelt> 4df+6 Scienceman!

3:52 PM <SpookyBee> Oof… Wilson- It's uh… Well it's about as recent as the skeleton. As well, there's a manual release lever on the outside of the hull, for what could be a cockpit.
3:53 PM <Wixelt> Wilson frowns at it for a moment.
3:53 PM <Wixelt> "I think I found the release for the cockpit."
3:53 PM <Soulless> He perks up.
3:53 PM <Soulless> "Ah, right on then."
3:53 PM <Wixelt> "Either of you got a good arm?"
3:54 PM <Wixelt> Assuming it needs pulling strength.
3:54 PM <Soulless> "I can do some."
3:54 PM <Wixelt> (Wilson has a Strength of 2. That isn't happening for him.)

3:56 PM <Glacon> Fae: Evan gives it a shot: -1 (4df+2=-, -, 0, -)
3:56 PM <SpookyBee> Luckily, however… You hear the beating of a chopper's blades not far off- The heliport isn't much farther than a few miles out, and it doesn't take long for it to land off, letting one William Cassidy off, armed with what he deems necessary.
3:56 PM <SpookyBee> Evan you get a cramp- Nothing terrible, but it's certainly not fun for a moment or two.
3:56 PM <Wixelt> Wilson, just because, attempts to pull the release.
3:56 PM <Wixelt> 4df+2
3:56 PM <Glacon> Wixelt: 2 (4df+2=0, +, 0, -)
3:57 PM <TheRaven> That would be the full combat load. MG42, pistol, knife and the rest. He looks around.
3:57 PM <Soulless> Rolf waves.
3:57 PM <Soulless> "Will! My friend!"
3:58 PM <SpookyBee> Will, the territory is reminiscent of a destroyed urban war zone, crumbling buildings and debris in the roads all over! There's a large machine crushed beneath rubble; https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/jN7XHXXB/MechRuins.jpg

3:58 PM <SpookyBee> Wilson… You actually manage, somehow, to pull the release.
3:59 PM <Wixelt> As it suddenly loosens and is pulled, Wilson staggers backwards and falls on his arse.
3:59 PM <Wixelt> "Gah-!"
3:59 PM <Soulless> Rolf catches him, always the gentleman.
3:59 PM <TheRaven> "…looks like you guys are having fun. The hell is that?"
3:59 PM <Wixelt> "Cheers…" Wilson nods, then rights himself.
4:00 PM <SpookyBee> The two sides lift a little, and start to open, assisted by hydraulic pistons inside the cockpit itself- As it opens, a ball of steam bellows out, and the surrounding air heats up a bit as it unseals.
4:00 PM <Soulless> Rolf steps back from the heat.
4:00 PM <Wixelt> "Some kind of mechanical walking weapon. Damaged. One warhead unfired. Probably from a different time. Questionably of human build, and now," Wilson gestures to the opening cockpit, "opened."
4:01 PM <Wixelt> Wilson attempts to wave the steam away with his hands.
4:01 PM <Fae> "Different time, or maybe a different place."
4:01 PM <TheRaven> "Guessing it's what leveled the town. Any idea what kind of firepower it's packing?"
4:02 PM <Wixelt> "Or that, yes."
4:02 PM <Fae> Evan shakes his head. "Might have been a part of it, but it can't have been the only thing attacking. A bunch of the burn marks are the same as what we found elsewhere in the town."
4:03 PM <SpookyBee> Inside, a red pilot light is on, illuminating a body in the cockpit- It's got some kind of helmet, and navy-blue fatigues and a grey combat harness- The glass in the visor is warped from intense heat, and rubber oxygen hoses are melted to the fatigues.
4:03 PM <Wixelt> "Dead bodies…" Wilson grimaces, "There was only bones left."
4:04 PM <Wixelt> He looks at the body in the cockpit. "That… doesn't bode well at all."
4:04 PM <SpookyBee> Will! It appears to have some kind of rocket pod, and a massive machinegun on the other side that's heavily damaged.
4:04 PM <Wixelt> The pod has one warhead left, right?
4:04 PM <Fae> Is it a human body?

4:05 PM <SpookyBee> Only one! And Evan, you can't quite tell with the helmet.
4:05 PM <TheRaven> "Doesn't take long for bodies to rot in heat like this. Could be anywhere from a few weeks ago to a year or more."
4:06 PM <Wixelt> "The body from before was definitely recent. Completely burned away. Trust me, this was very recent."
4:07 PM <TheRaven> He nods. "Alright."
4:07 PM <Wixelt> Wilson climbs up the side of the cockpit and inspects the body closely, frowning.
4:08 PM <SpookyBee> For a moment, one of the radios lights up with the strange electronic murmering from the briefing, then shuts off. Wilson, the helmet's securing straps were undone already, the helmet can be removed!
4:09 PM <Wixelt> Wilson stops when he hears the murmuring. "Isn't that…"
4:10 PM <Soulless> Rolf looks up.
4:10 PM <Soulless> He hmms.
4:10 PM <Fae> "Yeah."
4:10 PM <Fae> Evan himself tries to figure out if any of this might be nonhuman make.
4:11 PM <TheRaven> Any of the controls recognizable? In language or function
4:11 PM <Wixelt> Wilson looks at Will, "You wouldn't happen to speak Chinese or anything like it, would you?"

4:12 PM <SpookyBee> Will, the controls don't look terribly different from some forms of aircraft- Stick-and-trigger mechanisms, with some switches here and there.
4:13 PM <Fae> What would he roll for that?
4:13 PM <SpookyBee> SCI or ENG!
4:13 PM <TheRaven> "Not really, couple words here and there of Japanese and Korean, nothing useful. Looks more like aircraft controls than a tank."

4:13 PM <Wixelt> "Noted. Thought it was worth asking…"
4:14 PM <Wixelt> Wilson shrugs, then goes back to the body.
4:14 PM <Wixelt> Carefully and tentatively, he attempts to remove the helmet.
4:14 PM <Fae> 4df+4 SCI
4:14 PM <Glacon> Fae: SCI: 4 (4df+4=-, 0, +, 0)
4:14 PM <Soulless> Rolf, finding no one living to talk to about the situation, stands back and watches the others work.
4:14 PM <SpookyBee> It's still there! This corpse is a pretty relaxed dude, letting you all look at it like that. The helmet is removed- and proceeds to make the science roll useless, as the head beneath is revealed to have four eyes, and grey, hairless skin.
4:15 PM <Wixelt> "…well, that answers that, then."
4:15 PM <Wixelt> Wilson carefully places the helmet aside.
4:15 PM <Fae> Evan lets out a low whistle.
4:15 PM <TheRaven> "…well, he definitely ain't from around here."
4:15 PM <Fae> "Little green men it is, then."
4:16 PM <Fae> "Or maybe a Slider of some sort. Hard to tell."
4:16 PM <Wixelt> "Slider?" Wilson raises an eyebrow,
4:17 PM <SpookyBee> His lower jaw is split down the center- But naturally, as it's part of his biology it'd seem. He's very much dead, some of the skin on his head having been boiled off inside what must have been a metal box measuring in the hundreds of degrees, at some point.
4:17 PM <Fae> Evan pulls out his Dublin Compass to make sure they aren't in a dimensional breach or anything. "Sometimes they're called Hoppers, too. Travelers from other dimensions."
4:18 PM <Soulless> Rolf watches, fascinated. Kinda horrified. Musct've been a shit death.
4:18 PM <SpookyBee> It points to Dublin. Gee, that thing sure does love Dublin, doesn't it?
4:18 PM <Wixelt> "Or worlds. Technology looks fairly euclidean."
4:18 PM <Fae> It do. "Well, if it is, it didn't come through near here. Guess that makes it an extraterrestrial."
4:19 PM <Wixelt> "Worlds it is then."
4:20 PM <SpookyBee> There doesn't seem to be much more in this location- But there are other areas to investigate!
4:21 PM <Wixelt> Wilson steps down from the cockpit. "Alright. Now where was the signal coming from again?"
4:22 PM <SpookyBee> Evan has the map!
4:23 PM <Fae> Evan tries to lead the way to the broadcasting building.
4:23 PM <Wixelt> Wilson follows.

4:24 PM <SpookyBee> It stands in a triangle with the schoolhouse and the broadcasting tower.
4:24 PM <TheRaven> Will follows along.
4:24 PM <Fae> To the mine, then.
4:24 PM <Wixelt> Wilson peers in once they arrive.
4:25 PM <Soulless> Rolf turns on his flashlight.
4:25 PM <Fae> So does Evan.
4:25 PM <Soulless> He looks for signs of someone living out here recently. Food, water, maybe rubbish.
4:25 PM <SpookyBee> Everyone… SNK- Except for Rolf, who literally just turned on the 'Hey I'm Right Here' beacon.
4:25 PM <Wixelt> Wilson pulls his out, because he definitely brought one.]
4:25 PM <SpookyBee> And… Apparently Evan.
4:25 PM <Soulless> Herp dep time to get rekt
4:26 PM <Wixelt> Wilson doesn't turn his on.

4:28 PM <SpookyBee> Wilson- You manage to barely avoid kicking a tipped-over milk bottle crate…
4:28 PM <Wixelt> He cringes a little, breathing out quietly.
4:29 PM <SpookyBee> As well, you and Rolf notice… The mine is caved in- and there are two more alien-looking bodies outside the cavein, with chunks burns out of them. These ones have some kind of armor, nothing too crazy, but shin plates and chest plates, as well as helmets… And something else.
4:29 PM <TheRaven> "Anyone got an air tank or a gas meter?"
4:30 PM <Soulless> "Hm."
4:30 PM <Soulless> "There are two people." He motions.
4:30 PM <SpookyBee> … A firearm of some sorts, in the hands of one of the bodies- Looks a great deal like this, and it's in perfect condition; https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/7TLPlfIP/SMG.jpgSMG.jpg17.8KB • image/jpeg
4:30 PM <Wixelt> Wilson frowns. "…soldiers?"
4:31 PM <Wixelt> He picks up the gun and turns it over in his hand
4:31 PM <SpookyBee> It's relatively heavy for something its size- Not unbearably, but it's got some heft- The material has the texture of marble.
4:32 PM <Wixelt> "Okay then, this is heavy. …Marble? Huh."
4:33 PM <Wixelt> He searches for the trigger out curiosity.
4:33 PM <SpookyBee> The trigger is there! It's not /terribly/ different from human firearms, really.
4:34 PM <TheRaven> "Gun made of rock? That's new."
4:34 PM <Fae> "Careful where you point that."
4:34 PM <Wixelt> "Feels that way, at least."
4:34 PM <Wixelt> He passes it to Will, "You okay taking this?"

4:36 PM <Wixelt> Wilson nods, "Let's go then."
4:36 PM <TheRaven> "Give it to Rolf or Evan, this beast weighs enough already." He pats the MG42
4:37 PM <Wixelt> Wilson nods, before handing it to Evan.
4:37 PM <SpookyBee> Evan! +1RNG for Smartfilter ammo
4:37 PM <Fae> Cool. Poor tactics, but cool.
4:37 PM <Soulless> "I hope picking these up won't mean we have to fight later."
4:38 PM <Fae> "Let's hope not."
4:38 PM <Wixelt> "Fingers crossed."
4:39 PM <Fae> Evan leads the way to the building.

4:42 PM <SpookyBee> Evan, Wilson, you hear some messy shuffling through the rubble, not too far ahead- It's starting to get dark, so you can see some orange light around the corner into an alleyway on the street to the broadcasting building.
4:42 PM <SpookyBee> You can all see the glowing, in fact.
4:42 PM <Fae> Evan signals the others to halt and points it out.
4:42 PM <Wixelt> Wilson frowns, then nods.
4:42 PM <Wixelt> He stops in his tracks.
4:43 PM <Soulless> Rolf halts and looks at it. Hm. Shuffling.
4:44 PM <Soulless> "…Do you want me to head in first? I can talk with it… maybe." Low voice.
4:44 PM <Fae> "I'd say it's probably safer to let Will go first, but if you want to try…"
4:45 PM <SpookyBee> A little clang sounds off as whatever's around the corner bumps into something.
4:46 PM <Wixelt> Wilson tenses slightly.
4:46 PM <Soulless> "Sure… Will?"
4:46 PM <Soulless> "Do you want to go?"
4:47 PM <TheRaven> He slowly moves up, MG at the ready.
4:47 PM <SpookyBee> Will, do you turn the corner?
4:47 PM <Wixelt> Wilson slowly pulls out his M14, just to be safe.
4:49 PM <TheRaven> Slowly and cautiously, yes!
4:50 PM <SpookyBee> … Will, you turn the corner to see a pair of what could have once been people- But their hair and clothes have all burned away, and the skin consists entirely of ashes and cinders, with smoke coming from their mouths and a soft, orange glow emanating from their eyes and cracks in their 'skin'.

4:52 PM <Soulless> (joking joking)
4:52 PM <Wixelt> (:P)
4:54 PM <TheRaven> He observes, trying to stay quiet.
4:55 PM <Wixelt> I assume the others can see Will from around the corner, but no the 'shamblers'
4:55 PM <Wixelt> *not
4:57 PM <SpookyBee> They can see him, but not them, yes.
4:57 PM <SpookyBee> They just kind of stumble around, not looking towards the big dude with a huge machinegun.
4:57 PM <TheRaven> Will waves for Evan to come have a look at them
4:57 PM <Fae> Does he motion Evan over?
4:59 PM <Wixelt> Wilson makes motions indicating he'd like to know what's going on.

5:48 PM <Soulless> "Can someone help me get this under control?"
5:48 PM <TheRaven> Will is sort of keeping watch. These things don't seem TOO dangerous…
5:48 PM <Wixelt> Wilson would be no help. The best he can do is make sure it doesn't hurt anyone.
5:50 PM <SpookyBee> Will, the other two are getting closer- But the closest one starts to heave, its chest throbbing like its lungs are inflating rapidly, and a cloud of smoke starts to pour from its mouth…
5:50 PM <TheRaven> Our turn?
5:53 PM <Soulless> Rolf starts to get up and move away.
5:53 PM <TheRaven> Will takes aim at the one spewing smoke
5:53 PM <Wixelt> Wilson keeps his weapon trained on the roped thing.
5:54 PM <SpookyBee> Your turn!
5:54 PM <Wixelt> Wilson keeps his weapon trained on the roped thing.
5:55 PM <Soulless> He continues stepping back, and heads back to the team. "This is not safe. We need to leave."
5:55 PM <TheRaven> "Sounds like a good plan."
5:56 PM <Wixelt> "No arguments here."
5:56 PM <SpookyBee> The broadcasting tower isn't far now- Less than fifty meters from your current location!
5:56 PM <Fae> "Yup, everybody run." Evan has a bad feeling about this
5:56 PM <Fae> "That extra smoke can't be good"
5:57 PM <Soulless> "Let's get to the tower."
5:57 PM <Fae> To the tower!
5:57 PM <Wixelt> To the tower indeed!
5:58 PM <TheRaven> Will covers the retreat.
5:58 PM <Fae> Evan's already trying to sprint in that direction.
5:58 PM <Wixelt> Wilson just cheeses it out of there
5:58 PM <SpookyBee> The building itself is a four-story sandy brick building. On the way over, you manage to outrun the wandering corpses, the smoking one belching a barely-avoiding cloud of oily flame before it explodes! The windows in the building are broken out, and the closer you get the stronger the radio chatter gets on all of your radios.
5:59 PM <Wixelt> "…I guess this is it then." Wilson shields their eyes from the explosion, before glancing up at the tower.
5:59 PM <Soulless> "…They used to be people, didn't they?"
5:59 PM <TheRaven> "Looked that way."
6:00 PM <Soulless> He makes a… face. His smile dims a little, his friendliness falls a touch.
6:00 PM <Wixelt> "Let's try not to think about it too much." Wilson frowns sadly.
6:00 PM <Soulless> It's hard to describe, a man who is trying to show how little something bothers him, when he is so bothered.
6:00 PM <Fae> "I think we found the place!"
6:01 PM <Soulless> He nods to Evan.
6:01 PM <SpookyBee> A single window has a slight, blue illumination- Not like the orange flickering from the firespitters, it's more electronic. Artificial. It's a window towards the top floor! Surrounding the main entrance is a barricade of broken cars and other debris, encircling it.
6:01 PM <Fae> (laaaaaaaag)
6:02 PM <Fae> Evan points out both.
6:02 PM <TheRaven> "That looks promising."
6:02 PM <Wixelt> Wilson nods.
6:02 PM <Wixelt> "We should proceed with caution."
6:02 PM <Soulless> "…"
6:03 PM <Soulless> Rolf is still quiet. It's very difficult, to look into the mind of someone who is no longer.
6:03 PM <Fae> "Hmmm…" Evan passes the large gun to Wilson. "You can at least shoot a little. I just can't shoot."
6:03 PM <Wixelt> Wilson looks at it, then nods.
6:04 PM <SpookyBee> There's gaps between the vehicles that you can all pass through to access the front entrance!
6:05 PM <Wixelt> Wilson does so.
6:05 PM <Wixelt> He checks the entrance. Is it sealed in any way?
6:05 PM <SpookyBee> Nope! The door opens easily…
6:05 PM <Wixelt> Oh.
6:05 PM <Wixelt> Wilson slowly puts his crowbar away,
6:06 PM <Wixelt> He carefully pushes the door open.
6:06 PM <Soulless> "They aren't strong. We should aviod shooting."
6:06 PM <SpookyBee> The entry hall is dimly-lit, with flickering lights. Does Wilson enter…?
6:06 PM <Wixelt> He waits for the others, the enters with them.
6:07 PM <Wixelt> *then
6:07 PM <TheRaven> Will leads, pistol ready.
6:07 PM <Fae> (More lag)
6:07 PM <SpookyBee> …
6:07 PM <Wixelt> Wilson follows behind him, future gun held in his hands.
6:07 PM <SpookyBee> Will- PERC the moment you take the first step past the edge of the doors.
6:07 PM <TheRaven> 4df+3
6:07 PM <Glacon> TheRaven: 2 (4df+3=0, +, -, -)
6:08 PM <SpookyBee> … You fail to notice the tripwire you're about to step on- Anyone who wants to try to detect, roll PERC

6:08 PM <Glacon> Soulless: !!!: 4 (4df+5=0, 0, -, 0)
6:08 PM <SpookyBee> … Wilson
6:08 PM <SpookyBee> There's a thin, silvery tripwire just above the dusty floor. Attached to a grenade on the wall.
6:08 PM <Wixelt> Wilson's eyes go wide and he quickly attempts to yank Will back again.
6:09 PM <SpookyBee> The grenade is shaped like a silver, dotted tube.
6:09 PM <Wixelt> "Tripwire!"
6:09 PM <SpookyBee> AGI both of you!
6:09 PM <Wixelt> 4df+3
6:09 PM <Glacon> Wixelt: 4 (4df+3=+, -, +, 0)

6:11 PM <TheRaven> Also uh, for detecting traps that should have been at +4
6:11 PM <SpookyBee> OH.
6:11 PM <TheRaven> …or wait no
6:13 PM <Fae> If Evan sees, he will also try to catch Will
6:13 PM <SpookyBee> Fae, AGI!
6:13 PM <Fae> 4df+2 !!!
6:13 PM <Glacon> Fae: !!!: 2 (4df+2=-, +, -, +)
6:13 PM <Fae> poop
6:13 PM <SpookyBee> Will- The one time you're not slow… Is the time you beat your friends to stepping on a tripwire.
6:14 PM <Wixelt> "Fu-!"
6:14 PM <SpookyBee> All of you- MDEF
6:15 PM <Soulless> 4df+5 This is the one thing Rolf can do
6:15 PM <Glacon> Soulless: This is the one thing Rolf can do: 6 (4df+5=+, +, 0, -)

6:15 PM <Fae> Weeeeel now that result is a 1
6:15 PM <Fae> So
6:15 PM <Soulless> ~*rekt*~
6:15 PM <Fae> R.I.P.
6:15 PM <Wixelt> (Evan got mindnuked)
6:15 PM <Fae> (Yup)
6:16 PM <Wixelt> (GG)
6:16 PM <SpookyBee> 4df+4 Oh boy
6:16 PM <Glacon> SpookyBee: Oh boy: 3 (4df+4=0, 0, 0, -)
6:16 PM <Fae> …
6:16 PM <Fae> (Oh come on!)
6:16 PM <SpookyBee> (TheRaven ? :O )
6:17 PM <TheRaven> 4df+4 crap
6:17 PM <Glacon> TheRaven: crap: 6 (4df+4=0, +, +, 0)
6:18 PM <SpookyBee> The room floods with a blinding light- But it only vaguely disorients you… Well, everyone but Evan, who's stunned and knocked back by the shock! The light is followed by a bang… An unfortunately loud bang.
6:18 PM <Fae> Evan took a hit for you,guys
6:18 PM <Wixelt> Wilson puts his hands on his ears.
6:18 PM <Wixelt> "Gah!"
6:18 PM <Fae> Evan lets out a cry as he tries to block out the noise
6:19 PM <Soulless> Rolf catches Evan, always the gentleman. This is vaguely remeniscent of when they cuddled.
6:19 PM <Wixelt> (:|)
6:20 PM <Fae> So much for hoping that never got brought up.
6:20 PM <TheRaven> Loud noises aren't new to Will. "Contact!"
6:20 PM <Soulless> ( ;) )
6:20 PM <Wixelt> Wilson gives Will a despairing look.
6:21 PM <Wixelt> A look that says 'Why?!'
6:21 PM <Fae> Evan groans. "Really? I could've sworn that we managed to avoid contact."
6:21 PM <Soulless> His hands help stabilize Evan, pulling him to his chest with one arm as the other whips out the gun. How manly.
6:21 PM Nemi|Out → •Nemi
6:21 PM <Fae> Yaaaaay. :|
6:22 PM <TheRaven> Will scans the room
6:22 PM <Fae> Evan gets back up ON HIS OWN as quickly as possible.
6:22 PM <Wixelt> "You stepped on a tripwire." Wilson says flatly.
6:22 PM <SpookyBee> As the light goes away, Will is proved right, as heavy bootfalls find their way to the first floor entrance hall! You'll all see a group of four more alien soldiers, all looking a varying degree of patched up or injured, forming a firing line at the far end of the hall! "Hold hands up- Weapons where we can see them!" One with a red shoulder plate shouts at
6:22 PM <SpookyBee> Psi-7.
6:23 PM <Wixelt> Wilson ducks back behind the doorway.
6:23 PM <TheRaven> "I don't think you're in any position to be making demands." Will raises the MG a little.
6:24 PM <Wixelt> Redact that
6:24 PM <SpookyBee> Will… They're all armed to a well-organized military degree. They've got weapons similar to what you guys picked up at the mine!
6:24 PM <Soulless> Rolf sighs. Okay.
6:24 PM <Fae> "Will, I kinda think they are."
6:25 PM <Soulless> 4df+4 (persuasion) Rolf puts a hand up. "Hey there, I have an idea. One of you, one of me. Let's hash this out."
6:25 PM <Glacon> Soulless: (persuasion) Rolf puts a hand up. "Hey there, I have an idea. One of you, one of me. Let's hash this out.": 4 (4df+4=0, -, +, 0)
6:25 PM <Soulless> "We'll talk a bit, no weapons, and then decide what to do from there."
6:25 PM <Wixelt> "We'd really rather end this peacefully if it's all the same to you."
6:25 PM <SpookyBee> 4df+4 Lieutenant MDEF!
6:25 PM <Glacon> SpookyBee: Lieutenant MDEF!: 3 (4df+4=-, -, +, 0)
6:25 PM <Wixelt> Wilson lets out a sigh.
6:27 PM <SpookyBee> Damn son. The red-plate looks to the others, then makes a gesture! "… Not hostiles. All cleared." He looks back to you all- "… How did you get to the contamination zone? We had a tank guarding skies…" The others ease up a little, looking between each other. Most of the group is tall, but one is a bit shorter, and a little stocky.
6:27 PM <TheRaven> Will lowers his weapon as the others relax.
6:28 PM <Wixelt> "We found your tank." Wilson grimaces, "It… wasn't in the best of states."
6:29 PM <Soulless> Rolf steps out, and puts his gun down.
6:30 PM <SpookyBee> Red-plate sighs, rubbing their helm slightly annoyed. "… Curses. The captain will not be pleased with this- We are already in deep enough trouble out here."
6:30 PM ↔ Daedalus nipped out
6:31 PM <Fae> "Mind filling us in on the situation?"
6:31 PM <Soulless> Or not. Aw.
6:32 PM <TheRaven> "What are you /doing/ here, anyways? You don't look like local boys."
6:33 PM <Fae> "Easy Will. I think I caught a bit of a file on them a while back. They pop by every now and then."
6:34 PM <Soulless> 4df+3 He gives a glance. Will can probably see it from the corner of his supernatural eye, a glittering, almost otherworldly-seeming thing. Like a dream- almost unreal, about Rolf's for just a moment.
6:34 PM <Glacon> Soulless: He gives a glance. Will can probably see it from the corner of his supernatural eye, a glittering, almost otherworldly-seeming thing. Like a dream- almost unreal, about Rolf's for just a moment.: 2 (4df+3=-, 0, -, +)
6:34 PM <Soulless> 4df+5 this is just not my day
6:34 PM <Glacon> Soulless: this is just not my day: 3 (4df+5=-, -, 0, 0)
6:34 PM <Soulless> No Damage
6:34 PM <SpookyBee> "We are not local- Did not mean to come here. We are an expeditionary team, exploring ruins, when we were attacked by Ash Dwellers- We had to take a warp gate to escape, but it malfunctioned, and irradiated the territory… There were some… Scavengers here- But we are not suited to take care of them, we do not have chilling weapons."
6:35 PM <Fae> Evan sighs. "Gate still broken?"
6:35 PM <Wixelt> "…scavengers?" Wilson questions.
6:36 PM <SpookyBee> No real guilt, Rolf… They must be new to the military. "Yes- It is the only option… On our maps, this place is supposed to be a derelict settlement, we thought perhaps it was best place to hide."
6:37 PM <Soulless> Rolf tilts his head. He smiles.
6:37 PM <Soulless> "Ah, I understand that sentiment."
6:38 PM <Wixelt> "That's logical, then." Wilson nods.
6:38 PM <SpookyBee> "… Come. Up the stairs- the captain wishes to speak with you."
6:38 PM <Soulless> "That'd be lovely, actually. Thank you."
6:38 PM <Fae> "Okay. I think at this point, the best course of action would be to call in our own security forces until this can all be sorted out."
6:38 PM <Soulless> "What's your name?"
6:38 PM <Fae> (typed that before being invited up stairs)
6:39 PM <Wixelt> Wilson keeps on guard, but follows as soon as everyone else starts moving.
6:39 PM <Fae> Evan follows.
6:39 PM <SpookyBee> "We cannot access interstellar stations from here- the Dwellers emit interference- Similar to prototype powered rigs." They speak, not remembering that humans aren't there yet, technologically. they lead you upstairs!
6:39 PM <TheRaven> Will follows along.
6:41 PM <SpookyBee> You're all lead up, and in the room is something much bigger than the soldiers by a good few feet; https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/nkGPaZK9/_golem__hardsuit__sketch_by_tekka_croe-d5uyu7u.jpg They look quite like this, and are carrying a rifle. Slung across their back is a strange looking 'axe'-type weapon._golemhardsuitsketch_by_tekka_croe-d5uyu7u.jpg221.26KB • image/jpeg
6:42 PM <Fae> Evan passively wonder if they're robots or people in armor.
6:43 PM <Wixelt> Wilson looks over the suit. Anything special about it?
6:43 PM <Fae> 4df+6 PERC Evan just kind of looks around
6:43 PM <Glacon> Fae: PERC Evan just kind of looks around: 8 (4df+6=+, +, +, -)
6:44 PM <SpookyBee> It's similar to what was encountered on the first encounter with the Arizona operation- Though the suit itself is a bit of a different… Brand- Brand would be the closest thing to come to mind from images and schematics taken from the other suit.
6:45 PM <Soulless> 4df+3 Rolf gives the captain a… look, but only for a moment.
6:45 PM <Glacon> Soulless: Rolf gives the captain a… look, but only for a moment.: 4 (4df+3=+, -, 0, +)
6:45 PM <Fae> Does he see anything neat?
6:45 PM <SpookyBee> Evan! The room is light by a blue lamp, and over on the far wall, there's some kind of large, portal-device, with an exposed power system of some kind. There's a smaller alien soldier trying uselessly to fix it, grumbling.
6:45 PM <Soulless> 4df+5 vs himself
6:45 PM <Glacon> Soulless: vs himself: 8 (4df+5=+, +, +, 0)
6:45 PM <Soulless> Rolf takes no damage.
6:45 PM <SpookyBee> (What's a 4?)
6:45 PM <Fae> Evan notes that it must be a teleport gate.
6:46 PM <Wixelt> Wilson looks at the portal.
6:46 PM <TheRaven> Will looks it over with the Eye, out of curiosity more than anything else.
6:46 PM <Wixelt> Anything obviously broken about it? Science?
6:46 PM <SpookyBee> The Seeing-Magic eye?
6:47 PM <Soulless> (A 4 is like, a single memory, or a general feeling)
6:47 PM <SpookyBee> Wilson- There are several misaligned ports in the power core- But the engineer working on it doesn't have the tools to take care of them…
6:47 PM <TheRaven> Yup, that one
6:47 PM <Soulless> (Of what his guilts/sins are)
6:47 PM <Wixelt> Theoretically speaking, could you realign them with a crowbar.
6:47 PM <Wixelt> *?
6:48 PM <SpookyBee> Rolf- There's… Something about a robbery, this super-armored individual is an ex-criminal, working military on penal charges.
6:48 PM <SpookyBee> Wilson- They could be, yes!
6:49 PM <Soulless> Rolf smiles, a friendly sort of smile.
6:49 PM <Soulless> "I'm Rolf Vogel. Nice to meet you." He offers a hand.
6:49 PM <SpookyBee> Will- There are invisible glyphs and symbols lining the armor, invisible to the naked eye. They line some motor parts, and the backpack generator.
6:49 PM <Wixelt> Wilson takes his crowbar off his belt and turns it over in his hands, looking at the portal.
6:50 PM <SpookyBee> The captain looks to Rolf, and doesn't shake. "… Are you here to help us? If not, we have little interest in speaking."
6:50 PM <TheRaven> ~Huh, interesting…~
6:51 PM <Fae> "We'll offer what help we can. We're mostly just the research and scout team."
6:51 PM <Soulless> "Of course we will do everything we can to help. We-"
6:51 PM <SpookyBee> Wilson, the engineer looks to you as you do so, tilting their head- "What are you doing?" The engineer and captain both have more feminine voices than the red-plate.
6:51 PM <Soulless> He stops.
6:51 PM <Fae> "If it's not enough though, we can try to bring in more of ours to help."
6:51 PM <Soulless> Looks to Evan, and then looks back to the captain. "Yes. We can help you."
6:51 PM <Wixelt> "Well," Wilson looks at the portal, "Those ports are misaligned, correct?"
6:52 PM <SpookyBee> "Er… Yes- My equipment was caught in the blast in the mines… I haven't been able to repair it, and the Dwellers are in the streets at night, it's too difficult to try to excavate." Engineer nods to Wilson
6:53 PM <SpookyBee> The captain nods, then looks over to Wilson and the Engineer! "… Help her, then. We only need the gate active, then we can purge the plague in this place, and leave."
6:54 PM <Wixelt> Wilson looks at his crowbar, "It might be sort of makeshift, but would this help you?"
6:54 PM <Fae> Evan heads over to offer what help he can.
6:54 PM <Fae> He pulls out a roll of duct tape.
6:54 PM <SpookyBee> "Hm… Maybe- I need leverage, plugs are pretty hefty, this is industrial-level stuff we've been working with.'
6:54 PM <Wixelt> Wilson nods, understanding.
6:55 PM <Fae> Evan looks the gate over
6:55 PM <Fae> 4df+3 ENgI
6:55 PM <Glacon> Fae: ENgI: 6 (4df+3=0, +, +, +)
6:55 PM <Wixelt> He holds the crowbar out to the engineer, "Take it. I don't know my way around this machine, so I wouldn't want to break anything."
6:55 PM <Fae> WOO!
6:56 PM <SpookyBee> Evan- The tech is quite interesting! It looks in mostly-okay condition, but there are some scorch marks here and there. Wilson, she takes the bad, nodding!
6:56 PM <Soulless> "Well, we'll get our men working right away. No doubt they already are. In the meantime, could you tell me a little more about yourself?"
6:56 PM <Wixelt> (bad?)
6:56 PM <SpookyBee> *bar waa
6:57 PM <Wixelt> (:P)
6:57 PM <SpookyBee> "There is little to tell that isn't blacked out." She's pretty clear on not wanting to give extra information to aliens.
6:58 PM <SpookyBee> 4df+4 Field Engineer - The Engineer tries to repair the portal!
6:58 PM <Glacon> SpookyBee: Field Engineer - The Engineer tries to repair the portal!: 5 (4df+4=+, 0, -, +)
6:58 PM <Fae> 4df+3 Evan helps with grunt work
6:58 PM <Glacon> Fae: Evan helps with grunt work: 5 (4df+3=+, 0, 0, +)
6:58 PM <Wixelt> 4df+4 Wilson helps where he can?
6:58 PM <Glacon> Wixelt: Wilson helps where he can?: 4 (4df+4=0, 0, +, -)
6:59 PM <SpookyBee> … With the power of Teamwork, you both manage to get the thing fixed after a while- The internal engines start to whir up, before archs start to sizzle in the gate!
7:01 PM <Wixelt> Wilson stands there, looking proud
7:02 PM <Soulless> He claps his hands.
7:03 PM <SpookyBee> "… Simple enough fix- It is almost embarrassing…" The Engineer chuckles a little
7:04 PM <Wixelt> "Still impressive without the perfect tools, though."
7:04 PM <SpookyBee> "… Well, I managed to get most of it done by hand and knife- but that was the missing link!" She nods, and programs the gate again! It opens up fully now into a swirling vortex.
7:04 PM <TheRaven> Will is pretty impressed by fixing an alien machine with a crowbar.
7:05 PM <Wixelt> Does Wilson get his crowbar back?
7:05 PM <SpookyBee> He does!
7:06 PM <Wixelt> It returns to his place on his belt. Now he can once again dual wield crowbars if that day ever comes.
7:06 PM <SpookyBee> The captain approaches the gate, before turning to Psi-7. "… This is, I'm assuming, anti-climactic for the both of us…"
7:06 PM <Wixelt> "Better than it ending in tears, any day."
7:07 PM <SpookyBee> "I guess that's true, yes… Thank you for assisting us- And informing us of the loss of our tank. We'll return with a proper containment crew in the morning… To take care of these Dwellers.
7:09 PM <Soulless> "We'll alert our superiors of such. Be well."
7:10 PM <SpookyBee> "Thank you- You as well… I would ask your names, but we are required elsewhere… By yesterday." She nods, then gestures her group to the gate!
7:11 PM <Wixelt> "Farewell, then." Wilson nods.
7:13 PM <SpookyBee> After the group leaves, you all manage to call the listening post via radio to call in a chopper! After a good amount of time, high-up plane travel, and cramped train rides, you're all herded back to Site-77! Duncan, of course, does the patient, light-hearted debreifing…
