"Hmmmm.....

Computers, aid: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Handsome will aid computers if someone attempts that. Alternatively, if someone attempts engineering Handsome will auto-aid.

Computer; Exocortex assist: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 16 + 2 = 21

The group came upon Dreamz whirling away on the mechanism with her custom rig. "OH! I was just...fixing it?"

Justin sets the enviroprotections to public bathroom" and starts applying wd4000 to things that aren't moving but should and ysoki tape to things that are moving but shouldn't

engineering: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

DR34-M12 and Justin are able to repair the mechanism and it lowers you into the empty vat. Justin immediately notices some curious bone spur-like shards among the scraps of synthetic flesh left in the vat.

mysticism: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

"Bob.. is that you?"

"Wait, you know the thief!?"

"He owes me money, so anything on him is mine!" he says sternly then smiles.

"Those bits of bone belong to someone named Bob? So those are Bob's bones? Hey, didn't we see an undead fast food joint on the way in called that? Bob's Bones? Amirite??"

"Combination brothel/buffet, but yeah."

"Brothel and buffet sounds like a great idea, get hot meats while watching Hot meat..No that doesn't work..I can do better"

"Literally only something that works here. I'm sure they franchise if you're interested."

"Brothel and buffet sounds like a great idea, get hot meats while watching Hot meat..No that doesn't work..I can do better"

"Why don't you just meet at a resteraunt, like when I got the coffee and doughnuts? "

"Whats that you found there Rat?" Voxel rushes over to see,"We make flesh. we do not make bones. This pretty much proves I didn't steal the flesh right? So you can tell my boss.and I can keep my job??"

"Whats that you found there Rat?" Voxel rushes over to see,"We make flesh. we do not make bones. This pretty much proves I didn't steal the flesh right? So you can tell my boss.and I can keep my job??"

"Probably, unless you messed up so badly you lost an employee in here... "

Handsome looks over the bone fragments and consults his data chip...

Mysticiscm, library chip: 1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 4 = 22

"Huh. These are marrowblight bone spurs. Guess Bob is a marrowblight, yes? And Gretta's roommate Hairvine was gonna meet a marrowblight, right?

"Heya Vox Box, you know of any marrowblights? Especially any that might come around here?"

"I try not to get in their way thats about all I know about 'em. Mean things but I dont know know why one would want the factory's flesh. Uh say their Greeny, would one of you mind signing this... I really dont wanna lose my job guys..." Voxel says holding out his data pad open to a affidavit stating that you are ministry representatives and your investigation has concluded that voxel did not steal the flesh.

"Like, how much, uhh, flesh, are we talkin' about here? More than somethin' could just walk away with, right? Your cameras show any vehicles passin' through here recently?"

"I mean it could be that someone is covering up a true death here. I mean I doubt that can be saved. Finally put to the grave, Whoever did it should be punished"Rover said pulling out his flask and taking another nip.

"Uh say their Greeny, would one of you mind signing this... I really dont wanna lose my job guys..."

"Need me to sign something...eh???" You all see a familiar evil gleam in Handsome's eyes as he continues, "Go on! Tell me how green I am! Pontificate on the beauty of my specific hue of green! Impress me...and I'll sign that thing of yours buddy!"

Not sure where else to go with this investigation inquiry. Any one have other ideas?

I am similarly lost. Sometimes conversations with NPCs make more sense at a table.

Only thing I can think of is to ask around about marrowblights, see if we can get a bead on where it went?

Is there anything we can possibly suss out about marrowblights enough to find if they have like an individual mark or something on them usually to make them more identifiable to others outside its kind? I will make checks if need be

Voxel looks at Hi-C,"The flesh can be condensed and those marrow blights are strong... You guys dont really think I had anything to do with this do you? I'm innocent!! Why would I file a report to Waneda if I was the one who did it? I'm no sympathizer she can confirm that much!" he bursts out when Handsome begins to make him beg.

"Don't care if you're guilty or not. We're only after Corpse Fleet. Doubt that's your day job."

He turns to Dreamz.

"You're a wiz with every infosphere I've seen. Any rumors come up in the Necroforums?"

Voxel's face screws up in a scowl,"Well fine then!! Get off company property; Your no longer welcome in the facility!!!" He screams then walks away."I'll be back with a security detail and you better be gone when I return a+&#&*$s!"

"Geesh. What crawled into him and died?"

Handsome shrugs. "I just wanted him to say how bee-yoo-tee-full I am and then I woulda signed. Ya think he's kinda stressed?

"And by the way, Hi-C, I've got this here disruptive seal attached to a baton. You want to hold onto it? Maybe you've got something bigger and badder to attach the seal to?"

Handsome has a disruptive seal on a tactical baton. You can take the baton if you want or take the seal and attach it to something bigger and badder than the baton. But it can only be applied to blunt weapons.

As I understand it, you have to pay... Somehow... To have fusions transferred. Mind you, I don't know who you have to pay. It seems like the credits just evaporate from your credstick. But that's how fusions work as I understand them. *shrug*

"Whoa whoa whoa, did he have to be all dickish, I mean its not like he has to worry about wasting time when you basically never die" he says as he then looks to Gob.

"Don't worry Cap, you are a very mean green fightin' machine!"

"Wait, if we don't clear him, his bony keister is going to get fired and he won't be able to shoo us off. Or he could let us see the surveillance tapes, give us his bosses email, and get the email saying he's been tentatively cleared by a preliminary investigation "

He turns to Dreamz.

"You're a wiz with every infosphere I've seen. Any rumors come up in the Necroforums?"

Computers; Exocortex Assist: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 16 + 2 = 32

Dreamz began to search the Sphere network for any rumors or sightings of marrowblights. "I'll see if I can find any, maybe some of the local cameras also picked something up?"

Dreamz is going to search the internet for any info and will search around for any cameras to hack to check if we can see them coming and/or going.

with her exellent search-fu DR34-M12 is able to confirm there are only 3 known marrowblights in the area of the splice. You are able to gather adresses for all 3 as well.

one seems to live close to the docks, one in a large residential building, and a 3rd on the outskirts of town.

"Okay I've got some addresses!" Dreamz' circuits pulsed with satisfaction as she forwarded the data to her crewmates. "Who do we want to hit up first?"

1d3 ⇒ 2

"I guess we can check out the housing market. See what you get for your credits."

The residential building ends up with nothing. The manager is happy to provide the Tennant list and there doesn't seem to be any Marrowblights currently occupying the building. After that heading back to the docks reveals that a Marrowblight does live there, but has been vacationing in trials for the past 3 months.

Eventually your only remaining lead is the Hermit Marrowblight on the outskirts of town.
The data indicates her dwelling is about 6 miles outside Orphys's atmosphere dome so you will have use your armors environmental protections. It should take about 2 hours if you walk.

"Walk?!? Pfffft! As-if! Let's rent one of these and DRIVE!!"

Handsome transmits an image to the rest of the team.

Or worst case scenario, take a robo taxi? Base CRB cost is 1 cred per 10 miles. Maybe a tad more for an environmentally sealed taxi?

Justin will write the guys email saying he's been cleared in a preliminary investigation. A deals a deal.

take a robo taxi? Base CRB cost is 1 cred per 10 miles.

"Wow, the ridesharing rates out here are stupid low! The drivers must be..." and as a pale-skinned driver pulls up and moans to get their attention "...zombies. Yup. Figured."

Life Bubble gets us all, now ^_^

yeah on Eox? That comes with the morning cheerios

Life Bubble with the space cheerios and leave your armor's environmental protections on anyway.

"Do you think zombies drive slow like they walk or fast like they want to run?" Dreamz asked as she got in the taxi.

To the outskirts of town!

Our zombei driver

You end up having to pay premium prices for an all terrain taxi so your total ends up being 60 credits but you arrive in the location in 45 minutes. The driver speeds away as soon as he has his credits and the last of you has departed.

The blasted landscape of a wholly devastated and undead planet gives way slightly to this carefully cultivated area surrounding a dilapidated hut. The displays are almost garden-like in their precise arrangement—thin, pliable bones weave intricate patterns in clumps that might otherwise be living bushes, and flutes of skin and cartilage might be mistaken for flowers were it not for the disturbing shapes and absence of brilliant colors.

there is a giant beast standing in front of the hut unfortunately. its massive horns and spindly legs make for a strange sight as it is crouched on 6 legs, almost like an insect, albeit a 30 foot tall insect, with 2 massive trunks and horns and spikes all over.

Surprise Round:

Rover
Handsome Gob
Hi-C
DR34-M12

Since this thing rolled so low on its stealth check you get a surprise round! Bold May Act!!!

Rover seeing this draws his weapon and spins it before it fires

rifle hits EAC: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 cold damage

Surprise round, so can't do full actions. But it is exactly 140 feet from me...

Hi-C summons his sniper rifle to his hands (swift action) and lets out a shot (standard).

"Let's see how this thing responds to fire."

Adv. Diasporan Rifle vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 2 = 16
Fire Damage: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 = 13

Handsome pulls out his plasma rifle while moving to take cover behind some rocks.

"Let's see how this thing responds to fire."

Dreamz joins her crew mates in opening fire on the eldritch horror. "Hopefully with death, or at least good footage for our channel!"

Laser Rifle vs EAC; Range Increment: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 2 = 29

Hi-C is right, its a suprise round so Justin only gets one shot off and Rover is able to move closer but not do a full round trick attack.

H-C's shot misses the Beast but DR34-M12 managers to hit it right dead center, igniting its spindly back horns aflame!
