"Do you have a way to contact them?"
:There are more then two parties in play, we should get to C'Deth. Shall I try and incapacitate these two?:
:C'Deth should be warned:
Search Posts
:We can't let C'Deth know this teams intent. Holding them here should accomplish out goals, correct?:
::Amos, this man seems unaware of the repercussions of this change to the timeline. We shoudld subdue them and let time finish our mission.:: "How many more are in your team? How do you communicate with them?"
Iban begins to read his thoughts. Mind Reading IQ vs Will:
"What are you doing here?"
Iban moves into the room gun in hand and attempts to make contact with the male's mind.
Numbers:
:Lets move in, Standard breach formation. Would you like to lead Amos?:
Awaiting instructions
:A local sex worker informed us that she had directed some temporally displaced people to Elizabeth Stride's abode. We are headed there now.:
Iban looks to the other men. :We should hurry to Flower Street: He then turns and heads in the direction indicated.
The Spoiler was broken for me as well, Looking at the html code for the page; GM Note:
The girl smiles, revealing a mouthful of missing teeth. "Of course, of course. The woman was beautiful as I've ever seen, wi' perfect teeth and flowing blonde hair. Her partner wasn't hard to look at, either. Both of 'em looked out of place. Kinda like they was too perfect for these parts, you know? He had dark hair and facial hair and both was well-dressed." Look like bad interaction with the end of the bold tag
Humphrey & Amos: ::Amos, we have a lead. The source is resistant to my abilities, this is true of about 8% of the population so that in it'self is not worrisome. But Sir Worthington-Smythe and myself might need some backup. I could attempt to push, but that might tip our hand.::
GM:
With her mind blocked Iban relies on his training to determine if the "Lady" is telling the truth.
Amos: :Would it be rude to ask C'Deth about this? The discussion seems to have agitated them.:
GM:
Sorry new baby had me post before it was finished. I need to make telesend contact before mind reading.
Mind Reading Quick Contest of IQ vs. the subject’s Will Ouch! Amos and Humphrey: :Would not be a bad time to ask you about morality? It is not something that I have any experience with, but it appears to be the central focus for C'Deth's issues. She will not 'Murder' but our primary goal is to protect a murder enough to commit two of them. What is the moral difference between the doing an act and facilitating the same act?:
Iban will attempt to make contact with the young woman. [b]"Your quary
Numbers:
Worried about piling even more options on the Squad leader. "If we find the targets I can establish a connection to each of them for keeping tabs on them"
As the man leaves the alley Iban begins to read his surface thoughts, 'Can't have him running to inform the authorities' Quick Contest of IQ vs. the subject’s Will:
He follows behind C listening to the surface thoughts as they go.
Iban steps up behind C and makes contact with the mans mind.
Numbers:
Iban notices C's abrupt change of direction and moves to follow, he almost peeks to see what she is thinking but the lingering synesthesia from the last brush holds him back. :Amos, I am moving to backup C'Deth:
C'Deth & GM: My Telepathy has the Racial Limitation. I am not sure if I can Read C's mind
"That is not an easy question to answer, the Gregorian Calendar is not the prevalent one where I come from. The company I worked for it was 3006 Vikram Samvat, The primary calendar for the Pan Asian Cooperative Congress was 4685 a Year of the Earth Snake. Business time is all based on UNIX time, The month I left started 2503440000. Unix time is the number of seconds since The AI became aware. but I believe Mind 21st Century I believe. Iban begins scanning minds as the team walks.
@all Sorry for the quiet time been sick for the last week. I am better now
Iban thinks for a bit. Sir, I can in ideal circumstances pull information without the target knowing, I would need to establish contact, which I can do as long as I can see them. I find skimming their thoughts while engaging them in conversation or questioning to be the best approach, but I can pull specific info from their minds. If I know what I am looking for.
"Haruko-san makes a good point, there is strength in numbers" :I am worried about leaving the Squad Leader alone with C and Mei, I would not see him broken on our first outing:
Iban looks to the others, "Any idea where to start? Should we survey the potential victims?"
@WhtKnt
How does XP work in GURPS? Thom's off hand comment made me realize I should have put all of those points I sunk into Psy attacks into Mind Control. But after play starts seems a little late to make a change.
:Mr. An... Amos, I am a little uncertain about splitting the team and only relying on technological communication. Our opponents are at least as advanced as we are. Com signals may be secure, but they will stand out like a flair in this era. How ever Squad Leader Andrews is already dealing with enough insubordination.: He moves over to check that Worthington-Smythe's jacket is hanging properly.
Iban stops at Thom's order and moves out of the way for the camouflage team. :Mr. Anders, once you have completed your reconnaissance Mr. Andrews has requested that you meet us at the road, and he has requested you to leave some covert marking you can recognize so that we can find this location again.: "Message sent sir."
:My accent is not odd, at least not where I come from: he smiles, :I can pluck and address from one of their heads if I can not find it posted:
Iban nods, "I shall attempt to ascertain our current relative location." He walks calmly towards the nearest sign of habitation. He reaches out to Amos with his telesending as he walks.
Iban walks over to Amos places two fingers of his right hand on Amos’s left temple and closes his eyes for a moment.
He heads over and begins changing into the suit that the Brit had selected.
Iban looks up from the suits, having already passed on three options. "So was that a no to the mind link?" he looks around the room. "Should I have listed the benefits and drawbacks?" "I am interested to know if I can connect to C'Deth's mind at all" He turns back to the rack of clothes and goes back to checking the stitching.
Iban looks to Thom and Amos, then to C'Deth and Mei, then back to the other men. He can't help but think there is something he is missing.
Iban stands and clears his throat, trying to get everyone’s attention, ”I am able to establish a mind link with any members of the team. However it requires a level of intimacy and trust I may not have yet earned.” he looks at the rest of the team awkwardly for a while before heading over to Humphrey. ”Pardon my presumption Sir Worthington-Smythe, but I was thinking if you were to adopt the disguise of a regimental I could easily pass as your stuart.” As he gives the big man a moment to think about it he goes to the to the weapons locker and selects a Military service .455 Webley revolver, the placard on the box indicates that this MK IV was not in wide until use 1899 that it should be passable as early as early as 1886, he nods, lifts out, and closes the era appropriate wooden case containing the revolver, cleaning kit and 30 rounds. As he is stepping away from the locker he pauses for a second before grabbing a bull whip and heading over to the wardrobe rack.
I think Thom will make a fine leader
Following the doctor’s lead Iban raises his hand ”I am passably aware of “The Ripper” i believe one of the theories is that the cuts were so precise that they had been done by a surgeon, we might need you to recreate the injuries. I am not conversant with the oath you swore but many legal systems recognize the right to self defence, that a reasonable response to a threat is allowed. The survival of one of these subjects could cause a reality quake, it would seem that killing might be reasonable in this case.” He pauses and looks around the room ”The self-defense laws of modern legislation build on the Roman Law principle of dominium where any attack on the members of the family or the property it owned was a personal attack on the pater familias and also on biblical sources…” his voice trails off and he sits back down.
Iban, a tall thin Hindustani man, stands in front of the mirror checking his suit, for the third time. ’you are delaying, this is not acceptable behaviour’. His Psychologist, Dr. Hong, had released him for field duty, all that was left to be was a passing score on the pistol course. ’Remember what Amos told you ”Just wait till after the fight to panic” he stepped out of his apartment and locked the door behind himself, he only checked to make sure it was locked once. It was dorm room than an apartment really, he could have requested off base housing but being a person was new to him, he unconsciously felt the italian 80/20 wool/silk blend of his hand tailored jacket there were advantages to his new life that was certain, and he didn’t have to pay rent or buy groceries, Maybe someday but today he would pass the last hurdle to field duty. . As he headed for “Hogan's Alley” he tried to focus past the upcoming test to the evening it was movie night, Rapid Rage 6 or something of that sort. It was likely that the bombastic British man would be there, but at least he has stopped referring to Iban as Raj. He did look like he could wrestle a tiger, but I don’t believe he actually did’
I was feeling both the Gun Skills came from IU "Basic Training" If the default load out is Pistol, will Rifle backup that is what he would have learned. I missed the Shotgun on the first pass, I am taking Shotgun.
Based in the load-out I am going to replace being a poor shot with a SMG to being a poor shot with a rifle.
Here is my telepath, yet another pass, Now with the ability to read minds. Time to step away from the spreadsheet. @Nate, I think the hacker would more generally useful.
I wanted the mind probe to be Touch only, but on re-reading it already is. It looks like I need to free up 8 points. Telepathy Talent from the psionics section, +1 to rolls with things that have the Telepathy Tag. I liked the Idea of knowing how to use a real whip, and while they don't exist in Homeline I liked the idea of knowing how to use a force whip. but I do need to find 8 points.
Here is the current Iban, I would love some feedback. |
