Spoiler:
You focus your power on Dexter first. You can see getting really, really mad. However, such a potent use of your power is highly taxing, you want have enough to use it again for a while, and your legs suddenly feel like wet noodles. You break out into a cold sweat and fall to the ground.


"What, you mean I left this PDC *Takes out PDC* broken in a bathroom?!? The one I received a message from Friend Computer[b] on no more than [b]5 minutes ago!?! Besides, I would never break my PDC unless I was directly ordered to! This PDC is one of the only things I can rely on to do it's job, other than Friend Computer, who always does its(his/hers) job in this Complex! Why can't the rest of this team just live up to the standards Friend Computer sets for them!"

Yossa has an expression of overdramatic anger (with a smile, of course).

Spoiler:
Hopefully, they spend enough time listenning that Int-Sec and Benedict go boom.


"AAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"ROLF!!! DRUGS NOW!!! THROW THEM TO ME!!!! ARRRGH!!! MY CAMERA!!!! YOU BASTARDS!!!!!!!"

"HOW CAN I DANCE WITH NO LEGS!?!?!??!"


Male I am a meat popsicle! SIR!

Spoiler:
When I go down, I try and make it look like I ment to. After I get to the floor I lay on my stomach and put my hands over my head like the guard tolds everyone too. I ignore Rossas Plee for Pills.

I lay down on the floor and put my hands over my head like the guard told eveyone too.


Yossa's hand is empty. He doesn't actually have a PDC.

Jack looks at him. "Which PDC were you referring to? Would you like to see the footage to refresh your memory commie?"

Yossa

Spoiler:
Just making sure you remembered, but on page 29, I informed you in a spoiler that your PDC was missing when you wanted to try to use the light on it, just as the lights went out


GM:

Spoiler:
Hmm. I could of sworn that said something else the first time I read it.

"What! PDC is really broken? that PDC *sob* w-w-was the closest thing to a friend I had. I... I "

*Buries his face in his hands, trying to hide his tears*

GM:

Spoiler:
Also hiding the fact his face is turning red from lighting the suits of the Int-Sec goons and Benedict on fire.


Yossa

Spoiler:
You have enough power to make one of the three go up real good or all three of them start flaming a little bit

Benedict


Spoiler:
into her PDC, Rosas confesses how unhappy she is, and that the loyalty of the Happiness Officer is in question, as he is not providing me happiness pills when I'm obviously distressed...

"Rolf!! Jusht throw them to meeeeeee, pleeeease...so cold...so unhappy...pain....camera...."


<Johnny remains prone - on his stomach with his hands on his head - he knows when to shut up.>

GM EYES ONLY:

Spoiler:
When they address Johnny I'm prepared to blow all of his perversity points rationalizing his way out of this.


Male I am a meat popsicle! SIR!

"Rossa I am following the orders of a citizen with a higher clearance then you. I hope that you are not suggesting that I should be Tratiorous and over ride his orders for you.'


<Johnny feels a strange tingle of excitment as he looks at Rosas on the floor in agony.>

"...violence... blood...."


Suddenly Dexter charges into the room, seething with rage. He goes straight for Jack-Y-TPK and leaps on his back tackling him. The other Int Sec guards are too shocked by the sudden action to react in time.

At about the same time, Benedict's clothing suddenly bursts into flame. He shrieks in pain as he catches fire, and he starts rolling around on the ground.

The guard bot reacts quickly, not wanting to risk injuring Jack it grabs Dexter by the back of the neck with a massive metal hand. It then effortlessly throws him across the room. His body bounces off the wall and he collapses to the ground very still. He appears to KOed.

Jack leaps to his feet and unloads a burst on his unconscious body with his cone rifle, finishing him off.

"What the f@+$ was that a@++++# thinking?" he says.

At the same time, the guard bot sprays the flaming Benedict with a fire extinguisher type device that suddenly erupts from his forearm. The fire is put out, but Benedict looks as though he's suffered horrific burns. He moans in agony, barely conscious.

Dexter, Yossa, Benedict, Rolf

Spoiler:
1 perversity point for each of you


Male I am a meat popsicle! SIR!

from the floor"See?!? I knew that that one couldn't be trusted! He was probably the one that set this whole thing up and he was trying to pin it on the rest of us! He was obviously a Mutant too, otherwise how would Benedict have caught on fire? DOWN WITH MUTANT TRATORS!!! Oh wait that cant be right, Benedict was the only one that went into the washroom earlier so he had to have tried to set Yossa up. He and Dexter must have been in it together! DOWN WITH MUTANT TRATORS!!!

GM

Spoiler:
In all the confusion of what just happened im going to try and ditch the PDC that i picked up earlier by sneakaly tossing it down a vent or into a trash can or somthing nearby?


"Oh, yeah, that's right. Benedict was the only one who left to go to the bathroom. The others would say so too, if they were alive."

Yossa seems to be calming down.


"Well what do the rest of you have to say. Was Yossa here with you the whole time or did he go to the washroom.?"

At this point he fires up the room's monitor and shows the footage. It's shot from a first person POV, so you can't actually see who is causing the vandalism, but you can clearly see a red arm with a yellow crowbar smashing the crap out of a restroom spouting out, "Gosh! I, Yossa-R-IAN-1, sure hate the Computer and love destroying its property with my treasonously obtained equipment. I must be some kind of crazy Communist, or mutant, or both, to love bashing the glorious Computer's stuff so much with my yellow-clearance crowbar! That loyal citizen, Benedict-R-NLD-1 tried to talk sense into me, but I refused to listen, because I'm a crazy Communist, or mutant, or both! Jonny-R-OTN-1 possibly talked me into this behavior! I'm going to leave this crowbar here, because, being a Communist, or mutant, or both, I'm not very smart. Gosh, I hope I don't drop my PDC, full of this terribly incriminating evidence, as I head out of this bathroom in TPK sector and return to our briefing room!"

As the video comes to an end, Jack pauses it. "So does anyone else have anything to say to support Yossa's claims of innocence or is your team leader truly a commie traitor?"


Omnipotent and Benevolent GM wrote:
"Well what do the rest of you have to say. Was Yossa here with you the whole time or did he go to the washroom.?"

"Only Benedict went to the washroom. That explains a lot, and considering we already know he's mutie scum.... Well draw your own conclusions."


"Well since you have plenty to loose here citizen Johnny-R-OTN, I'm not going to place much stock in your word."

He points his cone rifle in Johnny's direction.

"As you have no doubt achieved your superior rank through good genes and wise actions, I am quite happy to have my fate in your hands and I'm sure we'll be watching the mutie vaporize shortly. The same mutie who sabotaged my detergent cannon, may I add. Nice gun, by the way."

<Rests his forehead on the floor and shuts up.>


Male Meat Popsicle Troubleshooter/Security System Installer 1/1

Great Scott! Ya spend one day actually gaming in real life, and you almost miss the whole virtual experience!

<From the moment the guardbot entered the room, Benedict has been lying on the ground, covering his head with his hands, trying to avoid being stepped on by the giant 'bot-legs. He couldn't help but smile when Yossa was accused of treason. He KNEW that trenchcoat was a sign of commie behavior. Suddenly catching on fire for no reason whatsoever, he fails to notice the various suicidal behaviors going on around him until the 'bot put him out. He then lies there in agony, his slippery skin horribly burnt, his mind playing tricks on him as he gasps out as much defense as possible.>

I ... never went ... poop. Happiness pills ... constipated. Don't have ... Yossa's ... PD ... C. Love ... Computer. Anakin ... help me!

<Benedict lies still, waiting for the docbot, termination, or both.>


Spoiler:
I'm going to pMail myself to kill Rolf for not helping me when I was mortally wounded, so when I die, I'll know my enemies.

"SDFKsFGKH YIWYERTHR Rolf!" bleeds some more...can't have much blood left in me...


"Well Yossa, lucky for you citizen Rolf and citizen Johnny are both backing your story."

He stares at Benedict.

"That means, citizen Benedict, that you tried to frame your team leader for being a treasonous commie. When obviously, he is a loyal and upstanding citizen."

He then nods to the guard bot. The guard bot raises a big metal foot up in the air and brings it down on Benedict's scorched head, crushing it like a melon.

"Of course citizen Yossa, there is the question of how it was that citizen Benedict got hold of your PDC. It is treasonous to not carry the device at all times, and clearly you were not responsible enough to keep track of yours. The cost of a new PDC will be deducted from your salary. Here is a requisition form for a new one. I suggest you get yourself over to PLC outfitters ASAP."

At this point Rosas bleeds out on the floor.

"The new, perfect, non treasonous clones of your dead team mates will be here momentarily."

At this point the Int Sec goons and the guard bot leave. One of the Int Sec goons gives Rolf a good kick in the ribs on his way out (just for kicks).

A moment later a small team of bots arrives. A delivery bot brings in new clones for Dexter, Rosas, and Benedict, and scrub bots start cleaning up the mess.


Rolf

Spoiler:
You ditch the PDC and earn a perversity point.

Male I am a meat popsicle! SIR!

As I get kicked by the guard i let out a grunt, as soon as they leave I jump up and run over to where Rossa is on the ground to see if I can help her. After a I knotice that she is dead I make my way over to Dexter and see if he is still alive.

GM

Spoiler:
I am going to get anything and everything that I can out of her sachel as sneakily as I can as I "help" her before the new clones come. If I have time I will go over to Dexter and do the same thing


"Well, well now..." Rosas-2 states as she enters the briefing room "Let's see, I see my predecessor being cleaned up...ah, that must be my bag, and my recording equipment, as I understand I'm the recording officer...lovely..."

Rosas-2 steps over to retrieve her gear...

opens up the bag...looks inside, closes it quickly "No laser barrels I see...ok who took them?"

She moves to the camera... "oh dear...this equipment looks a bit bashed up..and it has some blood on it... Hygiene officer clean this up please and Equipment Guy, check it for functionality"

"Who's ready to party?!?!?"

(it's a "moment" later right? so I see Rolf heading over to my body? Especially since I had tried to post this 3 times before it finally was available...)

Then to Benedict-2: "What about my detergent cannon, feeb?"


Male Meatsack

WOW i missed alot... sorry about that guys, i lost the net there for a few days.

The new and improved Dexter jumps off the bot and rushes over to the old Dexter grinning at Rolf "You wouldn't be going through my things would you?" Dexter reaches for his old stuff.

O&BGM

Spoiler:

Does this Dexter also have a cybernetic arm?

also does the fresh Dexter come with a fresh pdc?


Male Meat Popsicle Troubleshooter/Security System Installer 1/1

<Benedict-R-NLD-2 wanders into the briefing room, slightly befuddled by his recent decanting. He is clearly disgusted by the various bits of mangled human scattered about the room, but gamely tries to respond to Rosas's request regarding her camera equipment. He nearly bursts into tears when he is interrupted and accosted by Johnny.>

I'll get right on it, fellow Troubleshooter! Although, from the looks of things, it might be irreparable.

<Benedict's confusion and sorrow are swept away by Johnny's crass insensitivity and belligerence, and his face sets in grim determination as his emotions are galvanized by this show of violence.>

This one will be first to fall ...

I'm your guy, Johhny-R-OTN-1! I'll get everything all fixed up for ya!


Interestingly enough Dexter's new clone also has a cybernetic arm.

Also it should be noted by all players that your new clone shows up with the minimal basic gear- Red Reflec armor, boots, a PDC (the old one is decativated), and a red laser barrel. All other gear must be salvaged from your previous clone, which can sometimes be rather tricky.

Dexter

Spoiler:
you do have the arm and having you start on clone #2 was to justify this, so now you are on clone #3. Lucky for you you also have a new PDC. You can also salvage any of the gear off your previous clone.


Rolf was never able to make it to Dexter's gear, as he was too busy tending to Rosas's well being. Unfortunately, he discovered his arrival was too late to offer her much help.

Rolf

Spoiler:

You were able to obtain the following items from Rosas:

(1) six-pack of Doctor Bot nutrient drink (illegal)
(1) pack Cancer-Lite cigarettes
(1) disposable lighter
(36) visomorpain (Little Black Friend) tablets
(3) benetridin (VideoLand) capsules (INDIGO)
(2) funny pink pills that you don’t know what they do.


Rosas:

Spoiler:
You arrived in time to see to your camera and strobe light, but not exactly right after you died. Rolf had a few minutes to "attend" to your previous clone before the new one showed up. Any other personal gear you had seems to be missing. However, since you don't really remember what personal gear you previous clone had anyhow, you can't say for sure if you are in fact missing any gear.

Spoiler:
How the hell am I supposed to party now??? OK, do I have any messages on my PDC?

"Alright, newly-decanted team! Who wishes to accompany me to *Dramatic Trenchcoat Flourish* the Outfitters!"


As you all get yourselves sorted out and the old clones are mopped up those of you who still have PDCs, which apparently everyone but your awesome team leader, receive a message from the computer

"Trouble Shooter team R-TPK-4, Technical Services has reported you late for your assigned service service. If you don’t get down to TPK Sector Bot Processing Facility 23 quickly, Internal Security will arrest you for high treason and loitering."

Of course, that poses a small problem because Yossa was ordered to report directly to PLC outfitting to get a new PDC. In the end the call is left up to the Team Leader.


Rosas

Spoiler:
maybe the happiness officer can help you with your woes, and there's always the infrared market. It will be tougher to party like your used to.

"No, I'm ordering you to follow me to the outfitters. There's a difference. You'll have to talk louder in the future, though. I still don't have a PDC! Move! I don't have all day here!

<Benedict-2 snaps to attention at Yossa's Impressively Commanding Voice and prepares to move out. First, however, he rather daintily sticks his hand into the used-up toothpaste tube that is Benedict-1 and tries to gather any equipment that might have survived the encounter with the Very Large Squishing.>

All set, Team Leader! As Equipment Guy, by the way, I'll soon have to check everyone's equipment to make sure it is proper repair after the mayhem that I heard was experienced here recently. Let's get our Team Leader a PDC first, though.


Male I am a meat popsicle! SIR!

"I will not be treasonous and go against your direct order Yossa, but let it be known that I wanted to go to TPK Sector Bot Processing Facility 23 as the computer ordered."

GM

Spoiler:
I am going to turn on my PDC recorder and record everything that I said and that anyone else says afterwards.

How did I end up ditching the PDC that I had found? Do we have markings on our PDC's that show whos it is? is there anyway that I could "find" it on accident and give it to Benedict so he can fix it to give to Yossa so that we dont have to go to get PDC from the other place?

Also do we have ME cards? If so I would like to steal someones at an opertune moment >:D and id like to find someway to protect mine if at all possable. is there anyway to make mine cease to function if I am not the one using it?

Rosas

Uh-Oh lol dont let sara hear u say that, she may get jelous haha. I've always had a thing for red heads too, i think its cuz they are so rare ;)


Male Meatsack

Dexter grins at Yossa-R-IAN

"Unfortunately Yossa-R-IAN The Great Computer has also given us orders to report to TPK Sector Bot Processing Facility 23, and we wouldn't want to be disloyal to The Great Computer, as always when two direct orders clash we follow the one given by the highest rank... Stop me if I'm wrong but you are out ranked by our friend The Computer... so I guess we will be seeing you at TPK Sector Bot Processing Facility 23."

Dexter collects the things his old clone had and starts moving towards TPK Sector Bot Processing Facility 23 with haste.

O&BGM

Spoiler:

as I walk off I'd like to contact the computer via my PDC and report the conflict in orders but explain how I deemed the needs of The Great and Wonderful Computer more important than that off Yossa.


Male I am a meat popsicle! SIR!

"Ah, since our loyalty officer has finally answered my question, I will change what I am doing by defaults to follow his spurious logic. The computer does outrank you friend Yossa." I begin to follow Dexter to the robot facility

GM

Spoiler:
If I can "accidently" find that PDC that I ditched earlier to give to Yossa, or better yet if you can make Dexter find it, I would like to do that now.

Spoiler:
Friend computer, in the hypothetical situation of your ordering the team leader of a troubleshooter group...say...TPK-4 to a service sector, say...Bot processing Facility 23...and also ordering the Team leader to the PLC Outfitter for a new PDC, the Team Leader, say Yossa-R-IAN-1...orders the team to disobey the computer and go get a new PDC instead of having the entire team head to the Facility while he gets a new PDC...is this hypothetically treason to follow the Team Leaders orders to the PLC Outfitter instead of the computer's mission to Service...WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!! hypothetially?


BEYOND YOUR CLEARANCE LEVEL

Rosas

Spoiler:
It is expected that all troubleshooters be capable of multi-tasking. Citizens who can successfully multi-task are on average 32% happier than citizens who lack this skill set. If such is beyond the capabilities of you or members of your team please report the deficiency and you shall be enrolled immediately in one of Alpha Complex's excellent multitasking training courses- one specifically tailored towards Troubleshooters. Is multi-tasking a problem for you citizen?"


Rolf

Spoiler:
The PDC you ditched, had to be ditched down a vent shaft. You won't be finding it again.
