I suspect that one or more of our teammates is a Commie. Trouble hounds every step of our operations. I suggest that we run diagnostics on the machine to determine the cause of the malfunctions.
On the other hand, the Computer always has my loyalty.
I haven't heard much from Logan, Tim or Wantru lately. It will be hard to keep this going with only 3 players. Hopefully they will chime in shortly to let us know if they want to keep it going.
Still here. Just waiting to be debriefed not probed.
Wantru is thoroughly convinced that the whole incident was caused by commies and inept leadership and technical incompetence. He is prepared to lay the blame where it should be placed.
"We can requisition them from supply. But that will leave a record. Do you know of other sources of chippies that do not require the filling out of forms?"
Tru hangs back and observes the behavior of his fellow teammates.
For the GM's eyes only
Spoiler:
Activating PDC video recording the actions of the others. Also, is there any way to edit the video without the tampering being noticed?
By the way, can I get a briefing on the duties and prerogatives of the Loyalty Officer from the Computer? Is he some kind of commissar who can shot people for failing to do their duties?
"Music?! I think it has been penetrated by malicious and invasive commie programming. We should pullout the vendobot for a thorough inspection, don't you agree fearless leader?"
Tru, still in the mandated position, says "You got killed and are back. But seriously, I, as the loyalty officer, have to remind you that you have to assume the 'position.'"
Raising one's hands is not compliance to the order place them behind one's head, right? If yes, then Horton and Logan are committing insubordination. Hence, they are Commies.
I do hope you read my previous spoiler; the one about wiping the finger print off the button. Also, I make sure that the laser is charged to lethal, just in case the jig is up.
"Quickly! Commies are everywhere! Look they are not complying with your directive!"
"We have to secure this place. Commies are everywhere, I tell you."
For The GM's eyes only
Spoiler:
I take a clean rag and surreptitiously wipe clean my fingerprint from the button on the Vendobot. I make sure no one is looking at me or the Vendobot at the time. Also, is there a way for me to plant the fingerprint of another onto the Vendobot's button?
Tru wakes up from his horrible dream and sees communists everywhere. He pulls his laser pistol and protectively covers Horton's back, "Fearless Leader! There are communists everywhere!"
"There's one!" Tru shoots at one of the windows.
For the GM's eyes Only
Spoiler:
While everyone is aghast at my behavior, Tru uses his power to push the button on the Vendobot. Surreptitiously of course. The chances are lower for everyone to see Tru push the button with Horton in the way.
Am I now conscious? If yes, am I within reach of the "button"? If yes, I'm pressing it while Logan is inside the Vendobot. I then stand up and fire off a round claiming an attack by commies.
While drifting in the dreamworld, Tru kills off all muties in the world and establishes a pure-strain hegemonic government with the computer as his sidekick.
Via E-mail on your PDC: This is your loyalty officer. Have you run a diagnostic scan on the Vendobot? I suspect that someone will try to insert a treasonous program while we are performing our duty hear. Observe closely those who handle the 'bot. Nod your head in the direction of Horton, once you receive this message. I'll be watching.
Tru checks out the placement of the cameras. If there are no cameras on the area where the vendobot is and persons watching it, then he pushes the button using his new-found power.
"Happiness Officer, you're answer so vague. Are you trying to sabotage your own prescription for happiness? That would be so disloyal."
Tru smiles ear to ear.
GETS RIGHT UP IN TRU's FACE, EYES BULGING, VEINS POPPING OUT, FACE TURNING RED
"YOUR DUTY IS TO TAKE THE PILLS I SUBSCRIBE AS HAPPINESS OFFICER! IF YOU WANT I CAN ADMINISTER THE PILLS RECTALLY!! I DON'T CARE HOW YOU TAKE THEM, TAKE THEM! YOU HAVE 3 SECONDS TO COMPLY" Spit flies into the face of Tru as Boris is screaming
"3..2...1..."
"You are not being happy, Happiness Officer."
Tru takes a picture of Boris' face. Meanwhile, Tru gulps down on the pills.
