Sorry guys; I feel horrible that I have been unable to be an active participant. I originally had an honest and good intent to be involved, but I have been out of town a lot on business the past two weeks, and now I just found out I'm leaving today and wont be back till late Saturday night. I would love to play, but I just feel like I'd continue to let you all down by not being able to be involved more. Again I'm sorry, but since I can't participate like I'd like to or should be expected to, let someone else be the HO, despite Tataz being so good at it. Good luck, and all. Thank you oh wonderful GM for allowing me to participate - I was enjoying your game.
As he does, he calmly tosses fresh cans of B3 to the rest of the team.
"Only a Commie would share so freely! Are you a Commie Whatt-R-BTL?"
Bouncing over to stand near Whoops
"Good to meet you Whoops - it's a like so glorious and wonderful to have a new member of our loyal faithful non-mutant, non traitorous team"
(I bounce up and down in rhythm with the hyper Whoops - my assets bouncing solidly smacking me in the face; Stopping to look at Whatt)
"Well....maybe all non-traitorous...."

Hey Whatt throw a can up in the air and I'll shoot it with my blaster.

Throwing directly at Sam to hit him with a line drive - if he shoots at "it" or "me" Whoops is conveniently standing between Sam and I - in the way.
USING 2 PERVERSITY POINTS
Can I make that a Narrow Specialty skill,
"Throwing Bouncy Bubble Beverage Cans At Teammates"
provided of course this game has something like that - which I wouldn't know if it did or didn't since I of course do not know the rules.....?
And of course will act surprised and shocked at any bad outcome as if it just slipped and was an accident....
Once disembarking from the elevator, Whatt again starts scanning for a B3 vender on the way to R&D.
Is my "illegal" experimental B3 in a container that is indistinguishable from regular? If I offered one to poor Whatt, is it obvious from the can that it isn't normal?
I'm wondering if the elevator ride shook the cabonation up really good......muahahaa
"Woah - that door is like bigger than the vault door at Arkham Asylum! That's where Batman keeps all his Mutant Commie Traitors and does experiments on them to turn them into loyal Computer-Loving citizens!"
"Just in cast this IS Arkham Asylum....none of you are secretly Mutants are you? That would be very unfortunate and cause a great deal of unhappiness if you were to be detained there, costing us a valued and trusted Troubleshooter from our team!"
ou're in an enormous hallway, 30' tall, 50 feet wide and 100' long, there's a massive blast door at the end of the hall,
"Woah - that door is like bigger than the vault door at Arkham Asylum! That's where Batman keeps all his Mutant Commie Traitors and does experiments on them to turn them into loyal Computer-Loving citizens!"
"C'mon, team - I bet there's all sorts total fun to be found in there for Troubleshooters of all Security Clearances! What could possibly go wrong in there?!? This is going to be fun!!!"
Assuming the jarring sudden stop - the vaulting into the air about a foot, and the crashing back onto the not-so-comfortable steel floor of the elevator caused me to jar awake.....
"oooomph! Ow! Who...what....Auntie M is that you? What? Oh! Is this our floor? Whoah.....what's the hurry, Chuckles....you act like there's a firing squad waiting for us somewhere.....wait.....I need....to...get...up....here.....BOOBS!"
seeing team-members scurrying off the elevator, I try to get up and get out of the elevator as soon as I can......
sorry guys, i took a three day weekend, and was gone since Friday. I just got back to work today and this is the first chance in about 4 days I've had to any luck getting on here.
Once I am able to come around to consciousness.....
Eyes opened wide in surprise and fright, from my position down on this rather uncomfortable roller coaster ride called and elevator, staring up at my teammates........smacking my lips, and making a bad-taste-in-the-mouth expression and rubbing my tongue around to get it out - stretching my jaw.....
"why does my mouth feel like so dry.....I didn't even eat any alge chips. And my jaw feels totally sore....like something hard and long was shoved in my mouth.....In fact my jaw hasn't felt like this since I spent that night at the Vulture Troops camp......."
feeling extreme vertigo from the high velocity climb, she feels better just laying there......
"It's good this elevator moves so fast, I know how important it is for us to get where we're going.....wait....weren't we suppose to be going down?"
Whatt shakes his head earnestly at Tataz's words "No we would not!" Whatt does a quick brush off of his clothing and pat down of his hair in case he is called upon. After that he will attempt to locate the appropriate R&D area on his PDC.

"No worries, Whatt - I like totally already did you. I poked you deep. It was good. Your results that is.
Liam - I think you're up! Unless Sam wants to go first!"

Spoiler:
Saving samples of these two, also - making sure to keep each sample indicated as to who each belongs to.
"Woah! I like think it's totally the appropriate time for a Hygiene Inspection! Cleanliness is right next to Computer-Friendliness! I take my MBD very seriously! We wouldn't want to fail our mission due to poor hygiene, would we?"
gives a great big cheesy happy-pill induced smile.
OOC: Everyone who's racing to R&D please make a pair of d20 rolls for me.
The board was down some of Friday and so far ALL of today until just now.
A RACE??? Oh boy! I love racing. I wish I was as fast as Flash himself! He was known for being super-fast......and for wearing a trenchcoat with nothing underneath!
Takes off running after giggles, giving myself bigger black eyes from my bouncing.....assets (cue 'C-BayWatch' music). Heading off to PLC.
At least that's where I assume Giggles is headed - As we've already seen, The Computer only knows what's inside his head......actually it probably doesn't.....which is why he's on clone 1 still I'm sure! :-)
GM:
Spoiler:
so about the 'drop point you mentioned for my laser pistol - do I know where this drop point is? Or is someone meant to contact me once it's there? And the 101 loyalty songs from my secret society.....which SS did it come; my believed SS, or my secret-secret society? And is that along w/ the 6-pack something I pick up at PLC also along w/ the grenades???
Mr. GM - would you so kindly roll a couple d20s for me in response to your own request. Thank you so very much.
Of course they're treasonous actions!! But so is owning the weapons in the first place.
But this game is no fun unless you really go for broke. SO - as a combo of Hacking (using 4 Perversity Points) to try to route the equivalent of an I.P. address to somewhere else when making the purchases. Then, if Financial Systems helps me in using another's ME card ID stamp, I'll attempt to make it seem like another identity bought the items (using 4 Perversity points for that too).
If both of these skills can be used in this way and this is possible - then go ahead and make the rolls using the 8 Perversity Points - but reduce the amount of PVs I use on the C-Bay checks to only 1 for each of the two guns - using a total of 10 on this big-time taking-a-chance going-for-broke gamble here!! This will probably backfire at some point - as I fully expect everything to at some point - and will probably wind up getting killed for it.....but at least I'll have fun doing it.
I'll use 3 Perversity points for checking on each of these three items - total 9 spent.
After dealing with Giggles Hygiene inspection - I take care to treat the other 'abitrary volunteer' that was mandated by James-U. I believe that I was Whatt-R.
Going through the same motions exactly as was done w/ Giggles with extreme care and a lack of affection......
GM:
Spoiler:
I will hold on to the samples of both persons for trying to see is Psion can use said samples to determine if they are mutants
"Giggles, nothing would bring me greater joy than to have you check out my pockets; I woulnd't want anything to happen to my pocket - and thus I think I should always use some protection for when something is shoved in my...uh...pocket."
Smiling, I offer access to my giggles to feel inside. "GAZANGAS!"
"Team leader - I would like to state that I think you've done a commendable job assigning the MBDs. There's no way we could possibly fail in saving our Com....panion, and killing those Commie bastards with the choices you've made under your leadership and direction!"
"By the way - does anyone have any Experimental Weapons with them? As a representative of Weapon Effectiveness Assessors, I would love the opportunity to know about it - so that I may record any vital information to report in service of The Computer - so that our great and Omnisicient capitalistic master would be able to benefit from any horrible accidents that your weapons cause you to blow up into itty bitty tiny fragments."
Oh great and powerful GM, would you be so kind as to do as many of the die rolls you need from for this C-Bay thing - since I can't view the dice roller here at work.
Also GM:
Spoiler:
You never mentioned if I got any sort of indication if Giggles recognized me wriggling my fingers as a symbol -- or just obliviously seemed to think it was part of my hair-grooming.
NOTE: I suspect Paizo to be hammered tomorrow with the PFRPG PDF downloads, so make sure if you ARE trying to post, that you copy clip Before you hit submit...so you don't lose your posts.
Speaking of which - that brings me to my apology for my absence the past two days; I received the special book in the mail Monday - and I've been spending most of my waking moment in an attempt to keep the drool from falling on it.....
Hey Oh great and mighty GM - do you have any useful info to provide us lowly pitiful Troubleshooters that details at least a little as to our role, responsibility and duties, and priviledges of our freely volunteered mandatory bonus duties (if there are any - of course being arbitrarily volunteered for a mandatory bonus duty is priviledge in and of itself).
Making a very loud and pronounced SNAP sound as I finish putting my latex gloves in place.....then smile at Chuckles. I pull forth the little gadget marked "Skin Core Sampler" and beckon Chuckles to issue his arm.
Hmmm....it has a numbered "Depth Setter"......I'll just pick a random number....my favorite number: 44 It's somehow important to me and has gotten me lots of attention.
Slipping it over Chuckles arms - being sure not to let his filthy body contaminate mine........I press a button or whatever to make it take this sample.
GM:
Spoiler:
you didn't respond about the skin sample being useful for Psion research
GM:
Spoiler:
As I approach Chuckles I pretent that I'm fixing my hair as always - but in so doing - I "accidentally" make my fingers do the little antennae thing of Psion and/or Anti-Mutant.....if he seems oblivious - I'll just continue with straightening my hair.
Whatt and James look almost like clones of each other! I got confused there for a moment....
Whatt:
Spoiler:
I just wanted to say - I like your character alot - you're fun to have in this game (already). I'm getting a kick out of your posts!!
"You" [pointing to Tataz], "Since you're so aware of hygiene, you're now the Hygiene officer!"
(jumping up in excitement repetedly nearly giving herself black eyes from the bouncing.....)
"Oh goodie goodie! ME? Hygiene Officer? Only in my wildest dreams and aspirations alone did I ever consider ever have such a wonderful and important role as the Hygiene Officer. Is HO the right acronym for that? I am like so thrilled to be your team's HO!"
(continues to bounce excitedly)

James-U-SSR laughs and says..."Excellent! your first Hygiene Inspection vict...err...volunteer Hygiene Officer! I have your Hygiene kit in the crate outside. Boris grab the crate please..."
Boris steps outside, then brings in a crate...he opens it and hands the Hygiene Inspection kit to Tataz.
"That's like so totally great! That was almost like Dr. X-Ray reading someone's mind, cuz, there's no one that needs a hygiene inspection more than Chuckles!"
(looks in the bag....puzzled over what she sees....pulls out something sharp.....)
"I wonder what I do with THIS?"
FOR GM:
Spoiler:
whats in the bag? Do I know anything about any of it...?
...Um....Chuckles.....I'm afraid this is like going to hurt you alot more than it's going to hurt me.....but at least we'll be doing this for the greater good of Alpha Complex! Imagine the damage poor hygiene could lead to.....unkempt hair could fall in front of your face, blocking your view of a target....your smell could give us away as we sneak up on those Commies.....clothing and buttons undone and looking disheveled could lead to wardrobe malfunctions....imagine me having a wardrobe malfunction....that's a lot of effort to stuff all this back in and could cause all sorts of problems moving around.....and besides what group of traitors would ever consider surrendering to a horribly filthy rag-tag looking bunch of misfits! No, sir, if we're going to be successful, we need to look and smell our tip top best shape. This is for Alpha Complex and for The Computer!
FOR GM
Spoiler:
Can I use any 'DNA' gathered from this little inspection to have Psion detect for mutant powers....?
"WhooOOops! Sorry about that, miss. My hands slipped, you see. I hope I didn't cause you any harm. ::snicker:: Well, Ladies first, and all that!" ::asinine grin::
eeewwwww...you're filthy! Don't touch me - you need a Hygeine inspection I believe.
(dusts herself off and then notices the UV.....and stutters....)
"Hi.....sir.....um......BOMBSHELLS! Er....um....Sorry I'm late that is.....

"You know - it seems like we've been standing outside this door for almost a week.........anyone know what the delay is? All this standing around is cutting in to my beauty sleep-cycle."

Perhaps we are like not meant to go THROUGH that door.....maybe the debriefing is like totally meant to be here....outside. OR MAYBE that door is actually meant to stop us from coming in here - whereever here is - and we're actually suppose to be on THAT side of the door, and being on THIS side of the door is treasonous........Maybe you should go through the door to the other side to check out my theory. Chuckles is busy with his shoes and I'm like totally fixing my hair - cleanliness is mandatory afterall. So maybe you have a moment spare to check that out......"

Spoiler:
"Hail citizens! It's truly a wonderful glorious day here in Alpha Complex in service to The Computer! Are you all my new troubleshooters superheroes teammates??"
approaching you is a tall (nearly 5'10") sensuously curvy woman that does absolutely nothing for you thanks to your daily hormone suppressents. Long wavy dark hair, sparkling green eyes, and a very firm and large topside that fills up her red jumpsuit - which once again does absolutely nothing for you. She has a vibrant spring in her step and she flips her hair back in a vain prima donna show-offy kinda way.
"So like, what are we all standing around her cooling our heels for? Don't we have like Commie bastards that need a few new holes in their head? Oh yeah and like Mutants too....mutants are bad.....I don't like mutants running around....do you like mutants running around? I'm gonna shoot me some Commie mutant scum traitorous.....things.....mutie freaks.....BOOBIES!!!!
(she hollers the last comment with zeal....it seemed to be completely random and uncontrolled. She shakes her head a moment to clear herself. Then she just smiles a big toothy drug-happy smile).
"Oh.....sorry.....I'm Tataz-R-BIG. It is wonderful to be here to make your acquaintances......"
Of course it is - how silly of me - my friend, The Computer trusts in me enough that he feels I can be a troubleshooter - certainly he believes me competent enough to know where I am to go......
If our benevolent GM does not object, DMtools.org(ran by our very own Lilith) also has a dice roller that works very well and is likely accessable.
As is the dicelog I mentioned - I guess that's why Ive always used it - cuz during my breaks and lunch etc while using the company's server I can connect to that one dicelog.com - but for some strange reason that although I can connect to some - the invisible one you are using is banned by the IT guards. Weird.
Thanks for that note, GM. That make's me feel a little better that you'll at least do the rolling for me so that I can continue to participate as much as possible.
Unless the die roll and result that I made (11) makes a difference,
I will ensure that I grab my gear, and head directly to the the first of the listed places I must report to.

For clarification: PZO-102 by 1815:214.06.06
If I do not know where this place is - i will attempt to use my PDC to search for the exact location (coordinate or whatever) of this briefing room.
I just tried visiting the dice roller. Although I can visit Paizo's website here from work - I cannot visit the dice roller site - my IT has that site blocked - so I may have to reconsider being involved in this......depending on how often I'll need to roll dice
Alright! My first mission alert! and my second....and third....and fourth.....I'm like so ecstatic and happy to be able to serve the Computer in so many wonderful ways!!!
I have no idea if I'm doing the dice thing correct. I clicked on one of the other players blue link which took me to his page - then I created my own account and rolled a d20 and posted the link here and typed in what the d20 result is.
OK, how about this, I'll get the Mission Alert up on Saturday or Sunday, and Everyone can start from there...So those that aren't available til Monday can post after Monday, and PhD, you can get a head start and catch up on Tuesday/Wednesday
That sounds like totally groovy! I'm like so ready!!! I haven't had a happiness smile like this since the Justice League was formed!
Tataz, if you could put your character info in your profile please.
Everyone you can add your Secret Society/Service info in your profile as well.
So, we all ready to start on Monday?
how do we keep that secret society info a secret if its in our profile - is it a 'gentleman's rule' that we don't view each other's profile then???
Sorry that I don't fully understand.
You know the bits in the sheet that say [sp]? Well, just put in the rest of the bbcode for a spoiler in the brackets. (spoiler, but in brackets.) You should have a result like this: ** spoiler omitted ** Got it?
AH! I guess I didnt' realize I could put spoilers in the profile section.
That's okay I'll find another way - I'll use my mutant power and find out if they're a mutant and then kill them.....I mean save them....no wait, kill them.....wait....what was my conflicting orders again? Pretend to kill them but save them....or pretend to save them, but kill them......I'm so confused - can I have some happiness pills?
Trust me - I thought of those uses for the mirror too.
Correct me if I'm wrong - but it appeared as though the character as written was Hygiene 11 (not 1)..... which is why I went with a character that was "prima donna" and vain. :-/
Adding innocuous item to weapon: How about a mirror - small circular mirror so that I can vainly look at my reflection to make sure all hairs are perfect and nothing between my teeth... even when lining up my shots....
I am, like, totally thrilled, Friend Computer to serve you, and to like fullfill whatever you Oh Omniscient One deems appropriate. Those Commies and Mutants shall like totally quiver when I pull my trusty laser on them. I live to serve you Friend Computer and all of Alpha Complex! Ready and willing for our new orders!
GM
Spoiler:
I took your advice on the name. Thanks for all the info.
I love the way the character has been statted up - my only disapointment would be the 1 on Chutzpah (I think that's like a bluff or BS skill) - as that is naturally my 'area of expertise' if you will and usually my style of character. Intimidate and Interrogate isn't my style - but I shall have fun regardless and am very much looking forward to playing.
Also did I understand right that we were allowed to spend our initial creds on something(s)???
Weapons? Grenades?
How about pre-programmed computer chips? (for instance suppose I'd like to use my Bot Programming to put a new AI chip in there or something, instead of having to get ahold of their on-board computer chip)........Don't know if this even works this way - but I'm making educated guesses here.....
Also all-knowing GM, I'm sure you've already considered this because that's what an all-knowing GM does, but in case some Commie Traitor sabotaged your notes and removed the info, here's a link to a very good online dice-rolling program.
