Tiktik "Overclock"'s page

Thank you very much for running this, GM. Two and a half years is a hell of a commitment, and I have had a blast, start to finish.

"I'm as surprised as you are, Sunny! The Corpse Fleet really oughtta reevaluate their shipboard security," he says with a disappointed shake of his head.

"Let's see if we can continue to cheat death. Cheating death is fun!"

If there is anywhere I can access the PA system (wirelessly or via a nearby terminal) I would like to override the announcement. Instead I would like to pipe in the Boney theme song on a loop.

Cool, well I think we are all in agreement that that is the plan. Do we need to make any checks to plot the course? I feel like you are expecting something more from us and I am not sure what it is. I'd be happy to hack into the ship's computer to block out anyone from tampering with our course once it is locked in. Perhaps even upload our favorite Akitonian persona...

"Yep, I see no other solution. Time to ram this sucker!"

does the electroencephalon allow the user to control the ship from outside of the bridge? If so, let's just high-tail it back to Sunny and pilot this thing into the degenerator while we ride the monorail of doom.

"I can't argue with that one bit!" he says as he starts furiously flipping switches, completely ignoring the crescendo of alarms.

I would like to use Miracle Worker to give the main cannon a +2 enhancement bonus to hit and damage for a minute. Then I'd like to further use divert to as much power as I can manage to the gun.

engineering with node bonus: 1d20 + 26 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 26 + 10 = 44

Tiktik celebrates as they successfully fend off the Dusk Blade and the Orphanmakerm, then he responds to B-Bop, "Hmm, that's a good idea. I'll scan to see if I can find that weak point in the Stellar Degenerator. And don't get me started about that damn crate! I TOLD you guys we had to open it. If we die here, not knowing what was in there will be my one regret!"

I will do a sensor sweep of the degenerator to scan for that weakness, or any other to focus our point of collision.

computers w/ node bonus: 1d20 + 24 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 24 + 10 = 48

"I'm gonna make use of the AI-assist on this, but I think I can manage to juice the engines, shields, and weapons."

1 of 4 computer node bonuses used for the round

"Aye-aye, Cap'n!"

Tiktik plops down in the seat at the engineering console, quickly adjusts the seat height for his diminutive stature, and then furious taps away at the controls.

"Let's see what kind of thrust these engines can manage!"

"Alrighty, besties," the ysoki says as he gives a tight hug to each of his allies in succession. "It's time to crew up! I'll handle the engineering as usual. This electroencephalon seems to really make ship control intuitive. If anyone is feeling a bit daunted in their role, you should put this thing on to help. Now let's put an end to these crazy, suicidal nihilists by setting course for our own suicide mission!" he says with alarming excitement.

maybe one of the gunners should take the electroencephalon to ensure we don't miss any attacks?

LOL the one time I don't immediately go with greed. I will rifle through pockets of all of the fallen.

"What the? It's not working. Hmm, hey Bepo would you mind picking up this dead weight and bring him back up to his space throne? Maybe it's proximity based and he needs to be up there. To plug in or something? "

After the emergency care, Tiktik will move on to commandeering the ship. He picks up the admiral's lifeless arm, puppeteers him briefly and giggles, and then hacks into the admiral's control of the ship.

computers: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32

Tiktik spits out his (t)rusty scalpel and Instinctive Stabilizer, and rushes to Jax's side.

"Oh no ya don't! We've come too far for you to bite the bullet now! It's gonna be a helluva show once we blow up this thing. Ya can't miss that!"

With the instinctive Stabilizer the DC for First Aid is only DC 10, which I can't file by a long shot. After that, if we have the minute it takes to do so, I will use my Advanced Medkit for a Treat Deadly Wounds check.

medicine: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33

that should be sufficient to heal 1 HP per level plus 6 from my Int bonus for exceeding the DC 20 by 5 or more. So +17 HP back to Jax.

"Huh. So I need to suppress the relay circuit first. Thanks Spanny, you were a big help!"

engineering with aid: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 26 + 2 = 48

With a woosh the door slides open revealing the grinning ysoki to his stranded allies.

"I did it! Get in here quick. Admiral pale face has been blowing stuff up left and right and none of us can see him." he says handing out high fives to his teammates as they rush into the room.

"Ohhh okay I got it now. Blue wire bad. I'm sure this green one'll do the trick." Tiktik mutters to himself as he furiously continues tinkering.

engineering with aid: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 26 + 2 = 31

The small alarm is replaced by a louder buzzer and the appearance of a holographic image of a hyper-spanner in coveralls, its cartoony mouth uttering "It looks like you're trying to override an access panel. I can help!"

"Eff eff ess!" the irate ysoki exclaims as he swats away the jmage.

"Don't worry, I gotcha!" Tiktik shouts through the door as he proceeds to override the door controls while his drone assists him.

engineering with aid: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 26 + 2 = 34

As a small alarm goes off on the panel, he adds, "Umm... just a few more seconds."

reflex +cover: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 = 30

"Whoa! I'm coming guys!" Tiktik says as he dives off the admirals chair and rushes over to the door, with the drone close behind.

Elliot will attempt another stab in the dark then fly over to the door so he can aid me next round.

Awesome, thanks for running this beast of an AP. 5000 posts and 2.5 years! That's a hell of a feat!

Damn. I thought I finally had a use for the extinguisher I bought forever ago. Ah well. Elliot might as well take a shot at a random line and see if he hits anything. I used his normal attack bonus so hopefully i can stick with that. Line drawn on the map. I am using the Selective Fusion to exclude Bepo.

"Welp, time to get Admiral Gothington out of hiding," the ysoki says as he relays his latest command to his drone.

Satisfied that there is not much he can do himself, he resolves to do what they actually came here to do. He zooms over to the navigational controls with magical speed and attempts to seize control.

"Who wants to bet that ol' megamind's password is 'password?'"

Moving to the admiral's chair. Then as my standard I presume it will take a Computers check to gain access to the system. If there is anywhere to insert on of our command keys, I will do so first.

computers: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32

Elliot will fly over to where L and Rags most recently communicated the elebrian's position, and then he will use the fire extinguisher uniclamped to his rifle to hopefully coat the admiral in whatever chemical compound starfinder technology uses to douse fires. My goal is to possibly reduce or eliminate his concealment. I don't know if this is possible or if so how you would want to adjudicate the attempt, but I figure that an attack roll with miss chance is a decent guess. Either way, he will deactivate his haste circuit as a swift and save the last round of it just in case.

Tiktik rushes into the room with a burst of magical speed thanks to Talek's spell.

"Fall back over here, you reckless automaton!" he calls out to his drone, sounding more concerned than angry as he fires a gravitational wave of disruptive energy at the heavily armored vesk.

Full Attack with 60ft move thanks to haste. Moving first then shooting twice against Blue. I had to double check but it looks like Get 'E, is a morale bonus and Coordinated Assault is a circumstance bonus, so they can stack :)

Full round action for Shot on the Run. With haste circuitry in full effect now, I will make use of his full 70ft speed to circle around to the yellow-bordered icon (hopefully Mobility can save him from the AoO), then firing his line thru Blue and Red (the Coordinated Assault and Get 'Em bonuses will apply to Blue but not Red). Then flying along the wall to retreat behind Tiktik (red-bordered icon).

Tiktik reaches up to fiddle with Elliot's rifle, then spits out a grenade and lobs it into the room.

hehe sorry I knew that but I thought it might be humorous for Tiktik to be pointedly ignorant and dismissive of the gravity of the situation. Instead dwelling on a meaningless curiosity from months and months ago.

"Huh. You don't know either huh. That's a shame. I was really hoping to know before I died. Oh yeah. We totally know this is a suicide mission. We don't care about you. We're just gonna crash your ship into the doomcannon." he punctuates his matter of fact statement with exaggerated explosion sound effects and pantomime.

"Malakar? Wait. Was that the ambassador guy back on Absalom Station? Hey! What was in that box? I have been soooo curious!"

Ah crap. I thought I rolled that days ago. Sorry!

engineering with aid: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 26 + 2 = 36

Heh, as long as we can count the auto aid form Talek and B-Bop too, that should just barely pass. Otherwise I will keep trying until I get it.

Tiktik's new eyes go wide, then he casts them down as he sheepishly replies, "But... but they let me do such cool stuff."

"Look!" he says as his left eyeball zooms off of his head and makes a lap around the room as he provides wooshing sound effects for it.

"Easy peasy!"

I can't fail that check with my +26 bonus

With no one else showing interest, Tiktik gleefully grabs the Eyes of Rhean and places them over his eyes.

If the Warlord Stone really takes an hour to kick in, we will have to ignore it as I don't think we can justify sitting outside the bridge for a whole hour while the doomclock ticks down.

Tiktik chuckles at the exchange between Jax and B-Bop, then pulls out his datapad and logs into the network to check for any security alerts or reinforcements on their way.

If so, I will use one of the keys to send them on a wild goose chase to the other side of the ship. Either way, I will spend 10 min and 1 RP to finally finish repairing Elliot. Oh yeah, and of course an obligatory rifling thru the corpse-monk pockets.

"Great shootin' little buddy! You roasted those guys!" he says as he gives the drone a high two on his little manipulator pincer.

After the brief respite, he lines up at the door and waves everyone over.

"Everybody ready? We're almost at the end of this suicide mission!" he says with far too much excitement.

No worries, I didn't mean to be critical. Ironically I just noticed I forgot my overcharge bonuses too, which is 100% on me. I have adjusted my ammo for regular shots for last round at least.

Tiktik giggles maniacally as he sees most of the undead still in a neat line. He hustles along the wall to catch back up with his speedy drone. He resets the dials on the plasma rifle once again, setting off the ramp up in power.

Move action to walk over to Elliot, then another move action to overcharge his weapon. He will use shot on the run to fly north 20' fire another line thru Green, Yellow, Orange, Red and Purple.

@GM I think you may have forgotten about the +2 to damage from Jax for this round that should apply to my attacks and Rags'. He spent the RP, so I just wanna make sure to reap the rewards of it. Plus I like the idea of wrecking poor Orange's day before he gets a chance to act :P

"Ow!" Tiktik exclaims as he shakes off the pain in his fingers, "Hey it worked!"

"Man, this ship is so fancy it even has museum displays in their train stations! Uh-oh, bad guys!"

delaying until after Jax in case he can use Coordinated Barrage to spare us the furry cover and/or give us some nice bonuses.

He spits out his rifle and reaches over to Elliot's, rapidly voiding the warranty on both weapons, until they begin to vibrate and hum.

"Go get 'em, tiger!" he says with a pat on the rotor housing, before the building crescendo of his own rifle reminds him it would be best for the building energy to be directed away from himself.

swift to spit out my rifle, move action to overcharge Elliot's, standard to fire an overcharged shot at Orange.

The drone accesses the magical circuitry installed in its chassis, then rockets around the room to line up the perfect shot through the military formation, and then retreat to safety.

swift to activate haste circuit, then using shot on the run to fly out and around the cases, shoot his 40' line thru all the enemies, and then retreat 20' back (or straight up if the ceiling allows).

Tiktik shrugs and takes the advice.

engineering with aid: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 26 + 2 = 38

Tiktik's eyes light up, "Really!?!" he squeaks with excitement. He 'chugga-chuggas' the entire walk to the station.

As the group entires the large room, he looks around in wonder. "Man, this really gives ya persepective on how big this ship is. This is bigger than some of the train stations on Absalom! It's weird that there's nobody here. Let's see if the security feeds show anybody lurking about. Elliot, you take a look yourself."

Tiktik brings up the security feed he tapped into on his datapad, while he sends his drone up as high as the ceiling allows, to try for a bird's eye view.

Tik perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

Ell perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Cool map! If neither spots an immediate threat, he will head towards that building, hoping to find the controls to disengage the mooring clamps.

Making sure he doesn't actually get out ahead of Bepo, Tiktik directs everyone to the nearby grav train station.

"Whoa! This is awesome!" Tiktik exclaims as he combs through the logs. "She gave us the perfect tools to get to the bridge without having to fight every last security guard on the ship. She set up a pair of computer viruses that make the security cameras ignore people registered to the virus memory. So we just gotta get ourselves registered and--BOOM!--we are invisible to the cameras! Besides that her other virus lets us create fake security alerts where ever we want to distract security forces away from us. So when we do eventually get spotted, I'll just make a few keystrokes and reinforcements will be redirected to the completely wrong end of the ship. So if everybody is geared up and patched up, let's hop on the grav train!"

Tiktik sets about registering himself and the rest of the group's images into the virus.

computers: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 35 not sure if the bonuses from the keys, etc. still apply or are necessary

While maintaining a steady flow of rebuttal to bicker with B-Bop over the pros and cons of junk food, Tiktik delves into the computer system's files. First, he satisfies his curiosity by looking over the personal files for the security chief.

Afterwards he moves on to the security files, setting up dummy loops of the camera feeds on the network, while feeding the livestream to his datapad. He plots the safest and fastest course to the bridge, while also checking for any sabotage capabilities he has from here.

"What!? You take that back! AbadarCorp is purveyor of such fine food-like substances as Sugar Slugs, Besmaran Whelp Egg Patte, and Deep-fried Stirgebits. And I'll have you know that they have the lowest incidence of food-borne egg implantations in the industry. Asterisk."

"Star-oids, please! With hyper-dense syrup if you've got it!" he says as he spits out the entire contents of his cheek-pouches, lies on the ground underneath Pailey's dispense port, and opens his mouth wide.

Tiktik's eyes go wide with delight at the sight of the limited edition Drakes of Haro Big Legs vehicle.

"Guys! Guys! Guys!" he repeats over and over, tugging on sleeves, pointing emphatically, and making all sorts of squealing noises, as he has a full on meltdown of joy.

He climbs aboard and powers it on, completely forgetting about the computer terminal for several minutes.

Eventually he is reminded of more pressing concerns, "imminent doom, blah, blah, blah," and he returns to work. He spits out his collection of keys and inserts them one by one. On noticing the biometric scanner he returns to the officer's body. He gives the corpse a feeble tug, then turns to Bepo cleaning his longsword beside him, and stretches the corpse's wrist across the blade severing the hand cleanly. Very pleased with himself, the mechanic skips back to the panel (while humming the theme song to Drakes of Haro) and unceremoniously plops it on the scanner.

LOL. with that die roll I think he got some viscera in the scanner

"Aww, shucks, guys! I'm okay! Thanks to all of you!" he says as he tightly hugs each of his teammates in rapid succession.

He then plops down and relaxes the best way he can, by tinkering with Elliot.

Whew that was a close one. I am definitely spending an RP to recover stamina as well as repair Elliot. Once that is out of the way, he'll take stock of our loot (spreadsheet updated), and read over the Eoxian labels and respective tech. Next he will tinker with the locker (I am presuming autoaids from Bepo, Talek, and B-Bop). He'll also look around for somewhere those keys might fit. Finally he can attempt to access the computer terminal and see if there is more to learn here (after checking for security countermeasures first).

Tiktik staggers around woozily after the heavy blows to his head. He is surprised to find so many loose teeth in cheek pouches.

The sound of Jax's voice seems rather distant to the ysoki. He squints in its general direction trying to make out the words. He catches sight of the blurry image of the undead in front of him.

fort vs gaze: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

He flinches and quickly shakes his head no as he works hard to keep the air in his lungs where it belongs. He nods weakly as Jax's words sink in. Oh yeah, I was saving Ell. Where is that bucket of bolts? There he is! Vroom! Good boy! he smiles.

Is that L's voice too? Aww, he says such nice things. They all do! I love my friends. I should stick around and help. he nods again, resolved to postpone that nap he had been considering.

"Ok, guys, I'll murrrd-drer it dead," he slurs as he staggers back and squeezes the trigger.

OK this time I am making sure to take a guarded step back and then firing. Afterwards Elliot will fire his line.

LOL

Tiktik cocks his head curiously as B-Bop's comments sail right over his head. His confusion is ended abruptly as he catches the gaze of the drow towering over him.

I am not bothering to avoid his gaze, I'd rather focus on bringing him down quickly. I will roll the damage for myself to save you a step.

fort vs gaze: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
gaze dmg: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 7) + 8 = 17

The furry rodent gasps and chokes as the air is forcefully sucked out of his lungs. Through his bleery, watery eyes he sees his drone at his feet, its rotors awkwardly spinning against the ground. With a nod of resignation he takes clumsy aim at the drow and grits his teeth against the retaliation. Amidst his coughs, he spits out a new powercell for his rifle into his hand and loads it into his rifle.

I am intentionally provoking with my ranged attack to spare Elliot another hit hopefully. I can heal up a lot easier than he can. So regular shot then uncheek and reload. I am assuming this means I now have to make another reflex save against being knocked prone since I am ending my turn within his gravity aura.

MDR+CA: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 1 = 18
sonic: 3d8 + 11 ⇒ (2, 8, 2) + 11 = 23

reflex vs prone: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

At his feet, his drone momentarily deactivates its sensors, rights itself clumsily, and then beats a hasty retreat out of the Nihil's aura.

Elliot effectively is shutting his eyes, standing up, and then flying away. Hopefully this thing doesn't have combat reflexes!

"Oh goo--" Tiktik's relief is interrupted by gunfire, "Hey! I thought we were friends!"

He returns fire of his own while struggling to break free of the sticky strands.

move action to attempt to escape the entangle first to hopefully avoid the penalty on my attack. Tik and Elliot will both target Blue so we get the Coordinated Assault bonus. I don't have enough ammo for an overcharged shot, so just a regular for me for once.

acrobatics to escape entangle: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 2 = 26
MDR: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 = 26 (-2 if still entangled)
sonic: 3d8 + 11 ⇒ (3, 8, 7) + 11 = 29

Same goes for Elliot, and I will exclude Bepo from my line with the selective fusion.

acrobatics to escape entangle: 1d20 + 18 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 18 - 2 = 30
plasma rifle: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 1 = 34 (-2 if still entangled)

"Umm... hi! You wouldn't happen to be Security Chief for sector 7G, wouldya?" he asks with a sheepish grin.

Delaying for now in the hopes that this is the person who covered for us in the logs. I certainly don't want to shoot our ally.

"Huh. Okay. These are probably command keys to access the secure network. We need to keep an eye out for a keyhole to fit one of these. By the way, so far they are all identical. So as much as I'd like to murder those slugs and take their stuff, it really does seem like there is little reward for that risk. Ah well, let's see what's behind this last door."

We look all ready, so let's open it up :)
