PARANOIA!!!

"That's funny, I don't recall you issuing such an order. Do you have it recorded, trenchcoat?"

Whispers in Yossa's ear: "Kick that Indigo bastard in the head and I'll bet we'll have his attention then."

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

The indigo bastard is behind a blast shield, so kicking him will be a challenge (though I'm sure you were more or less joking)

Rosas you can dance all you like, but you can really only barely hear the music.

[Recording Officer Rosas-R-RED-1]

Rosas has an amplifier in her head which allows her to hear and amplify any music she hears and have a party...even if its all in her head...

[Dexter-R-CEN]

"SIR DEXTER-R-CEN-2 REPORTING FOR DUTY SIR! READY TO KICK SOME COMMIE MUTANT TRAITOR BUTT SIR! WHAT WOULD THE GREAT AND POWERFUL COMPUTER HAVE US DO SIR?"

[Johnny-R-OTN]

I'll casually sneak up on Dexter and...

Spoiler:

paranoia

glances around the room

Spoiler:

Grab PDC and report Rolf for treason , since I have no laser barrel to execute him myself, I have proof of him in the act of insulting an Indigo citizen.

afterwards I

Spoiler:

will destroy ya

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

The indigo citizen continues to basically ignore you. A few minutes later the green guards each grab a side of his chair and carry and him out of the room he continues to be enthralled by his PDC.

A moment later your PDCs all beep. Its your friend the Computer.

[Your Friend the Computer]

Troubleshooters, you have each been fined 4000 credits for failing to complete your mission. For your convenience the credits have been automatically deducted from your account. You are now carrying a balance owing. Have a nice day.

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

As you curse and swear in your heads and possibly out loud, there is a sudden flicker in the room's lights. Then one by one the lights shut down. It is now dark.

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

By the way Dexter, you felt Johnny jam you with the skin core sampler a few just after you came in. It really hurt.

[Your Friend the Computer]

To conserve power we have turned out the lights, as the debriefing is now complete.

[Yossa-R-IAN]

Yossa turns around dramatically. "Alright, team, new technically-not-a-mission! Earn some credits!"

Then the lights go out, and he is quiet.

GM:

Spoiler:

Any way to use my PDC as a light?

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Yossa

Spoiler:

You reach into your pocket, but your PDC is gone! You were wondering why you didn't hear it beep like everyone else's

[Benedict-R-NLD]

<Benedict sits veeeerrrry still, trying not to draw laser fire in the dark.>

O&BGM

Spoiler:

Reminder: Yossa doesn't have his PDC. He might have noticed when the message was broadcast. Also, did I manage to sneak some Dead Mutants tablets in with Rolf's happiness pills earlier, like I wanted, or was it too difficult?

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Benedict

Spoiler:

Thanks for the reminder, and yes you did sneak in some dead mutant tablets. The problem is you really don't know what they do.

[Rolf-R-WTF-1]

I scream "MARCO!!!"

Spoiler:

and then dive for the door so that im not in the same spot that I just was and listen to see if anyone responds

[Benedict-R-NLD]

Huh?

O&BGM

Spoiler:

Sweet!

Also, Benedict picks up one of the plastic chairs, swings it round and round and hurls it in a random direction. If he hears anyone cry out like he/she was hit by a flying plastic chair, I drop to the floor and crawl somewhere else in the room.

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

In the darkness everyone hears a crash and a thud and a scream, and then the sound of something clattering on the floor. It sounded like Rosas was hit by something. A chair?

Rosas

Spoiler:

Something just hit you in the head. You think it might have been a chair. It really hurt. You are certain it will leave a mark.

[Johnny-R-OTN]

GM EYES ONLY:

Spoiler:

I punch Dexter in the head. Just once, but really hard. And I check my pockets again.

[Dexter-R-CEN]

O&BGM

Spoiler:

does the PDC have an inbuilt flashlight sort of thing?

if so i'd like to set it up to record and instantly transmit the data to the computer, with the flashlight on so i'm not just filming darkness.

I'll pan around the room, where i know people were standing before the lights went out an see what sort of treasonous behavior they're getting up to.

if it doesnt have a flashlight i guess i'll just do it the old fashioned way, start taking photos with the flash, and have them sent of the computer instantly.

Dexter

** spoiler omitted **

Spoiler:

It doesn't have a flashlight, and you suddenly feel a fist connect with your head. It really hurts. In fact it hits you with so much force that you go sprawling across the room and your PDC flies out of your hand. You hear it smash on the ground nearby. You feel really dizzy. You are having trouble staying conscious.

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Johnny

Spoiler:

You unleash some of that pent up aggression on Dexter. You haul off and smack him with near super human strength. It's only a grazing blow, but you can clearly hear him go sprawling across the floor and the sound of something clatter on the ground. If you had actually connected...

Violence: 1d20=9

Let me know when i'm able to act and my head stops spinning.

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Everyone hears a someone get hit, and the sound of someone groan and go sprawling on the floor. At the same time, there is the clatter of a small object hitting the ground.

[Rolf-R-WTF-1]

Spoiler:

Did the object clatter anywhere close to me? If so I grab it. If I made it anywhere near the door im going to open it and duck into the hallway

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Rolf

Spoiler:

It feels comforting to be closest to the door at times like these.

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Rolf

Spoiler:

you start feeling around for the door, but you haven't quite found it yet. You do feel something on the ground. It feels like a PDC.

haha everytime i update your one step ahead of me :D i grab and then pocket the PDC. If I cant find the door I'll go for the body that I heard hit the floor Instead. Im a little stressed too, I'm gonna swallow a few pills from my sachel.

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Rolf

Spoiler:

noted. Don't let me forget

[Rolf-R-WTF-1]

Spoiler:

Forget what part? that i swallowed pills? that I pocketed the PDC?

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Spoiler:

both. Though it should be noted that the pills are making you feel much more aggressive than usual. A part of you just wants to hurl yourself into the fray and start pounding on the nearest person. It's taking self control to do otherwise. You feel someone crawling on the ground bump into you.

any chance the world has stopped spinning for dexter?

i'd like him to crawl over to the shattered remains of his PDC, and then attempted to crawl out of the room... if by some miracle i actually make it out, I'd like to call in a vulture squad reporting what appears to be 5 commies in the briefing room having a secret meeting.

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Dexter

Spoiler:

with your head spinning, you start crawling around looking for your PDC. You can't seem to find it, though you do bump into someone. You think you are near the door, and you think you are somewhere near where your PDC might be, though it could have slid off pretty far.

Ditch the PDC and start gunning for the door, if i do make it our, I'll try to stand and run as fast as possible to the nearest terminal where I can call in the V-squad.

I'll be reporting 5 Commie mutant traitors, holding a secret meeting in an unused briefing room, I tell them which briefing room and in which sector (sorry oh great and powerful gm, my feeble mind cannot remember the actual sector we're in at the moment)

[Benedict-R-NLD]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! It's Chaos!

Rosas?! Are you okay?! I'll call help!

<Benedict very helpfully whips out his PDC and humbly requests a docbot to ... uh ...>

Hey, Yossa, where are we?

BTW, does the PDC screen shed any light in the darkness?

[Recording Officer Rosas-R-RED-1]

figures, I had to go to the store tonight, and missed most of the fun fun fun...

Spoiler:

I immediately drop under the table, should be safe there...and start grabbing stuff from other people's bags and rearranging them...also if anyone is still sitting I tie their shoe laces together...to another shooter if possible.

[Johnny-R-OTN]

Johnny growls: "I swear if any of you commie traitors tries to slip something in my pockets I'll kick your face off."

GM EYES:

Spoiler:

Hands on my pockets and any bags I'm carrying. Always checking.

[Dexter-R-CEN]

O&BGM

Spoiler:

I thought of of something and would like to add to my previous post about what Dexter is doing, is there anyway he can lock the door behind him? locking all the other troubleshooters inside? I will lock it or jam it or do whatever it takes so that it cannot be opened from the inside also I'll happily spend perversity points if it helps at all.... I really don't want those suckers escaping :P

Thanks in advance, oh great, wonderful and powerful GM

[Johnny-R-OTN]

<Johnny pulls out the detergent cannon and backs up against a wall.>

"I'm armed."

[Rolf-R-WTF-1]

Spoiler:

Have I made it out of the room yet?

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Rolf and Dexter

Spoiler:

Both of you manage to push your way out the door at more or less the same time. You are both now out in the hall. There is are dim lights on in the hall, so you can see a little. The door pushes open from the hall.

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Your PDC only sheds a dim bit of light.

Johnny

Spoiler:

You feel someone trying to untie your boot laces

[Omnipotent and Benevolent GM]

Rosas

Spoiler:

You drop to the floor and start crawling around. The table is well ahead of you behind the blast shield, so getting to it is likely impossible. However, as you feel around in the dark, you do feel a pair of boots. You start trying to untie the laces...
