Don't worry...we're a very forgiving bunch... ::shifty eyes::

And the computer is even more forgiving...ever had a grenade go off in your pocket for no reason? Yup, Treason Karma...LoL

That wasn't a grenade in my pocket, I was just happy to see you.

"So...Mister New Guy...you like pills do ya? That'll make my job easy!" ::giggle::

Chuckles picks out a couple of pills from his supply, bows deeply while sputtering laughter, and presents a pair of pills to Who. "Pop-pop-fizz-fizz! Happiness is my biz!" ::guffaw::. Chuckles starts to close up his kit, but then realizing something, opens it back up and quickly collects several pills in his hand. "Now that I think about it, we all need to be topped off a bit before our big mission. hmm, fellas?"

Chukles pops some in his mouth, then proceeds to offer two to each team member with an energized grin on his face.

GM Only:

Spoiler:

Who has received two Wakey Wakey pills
Liam has received two little black friend pills
Whatt has received two wide awake pills
I have taken two little black friend pills
and I don't think any one else on our team is left!

"Now come on, team! Let's not just stand here, let's get to work!"

Chuckles kneels in the corner to gather up all of his supplies, eagerly awaiting the long-awaited mission!

GM Only:

Spoiler:

When everyone becomes distracted with their preparations for the mission, Chuckles sends 3 messages to Whatt on his PDC. Same untracable, anonymous source as before. Hopefully Chuckles has the skill to delay the timing on the messages to send after Whatt's meds take effect, and he is hopefully high strung by then! The messages are as follows:

"WITH NEW BLOOD COMES NEW TREASON!" 1d20 ⇒ 11
"YOU ARE NO LONGER AMONGST FRIENDS!" 1d20 ⇒ 7
"GET THEM BEFORE THEY GET YOU!" 1d20 ⇒ 10


OK I need a headcount before we continue, I think we have 4 players again now.

Chuckles
Who
Liam and
Whatt

Whoops are you still lurking around?

I will assume the others got lost on the way to this door, so IF you've been gone to do Real life, and want to jump back in, feel free to come jogging around the corner.


Male

Still here, still ready to stab commies.


Whatt clasps his hands together in front of his chest as if they are almost wanting to fly out in odd directions of their own accord. He beems happily at the new citizen coming up the the group.

Suddenly, one of his hands breaks away and he waves furiously to the newcomer. "Greetings, Citizen Whoo-R-YOU! Welcome to our little troubleshooting group. We are about ready to search out a Commie cell and burn their treasonous, traitorous carcasses into an ash mist so fine we'll need scrubbots to vaccuum up the mess. Blessed are we in the service of our Friend, The Computer!"

Whatt points at his chest in four points making a box shape. He looks giddily at Liam, pulls a pamphet out of his jumpsuit, licks the back of it and plasters it onto the wall. The words 'SALVATION and BACK-UP! Where are YOU in The Computer's glorious Master Program?' He makes sure Liam got him sticking the pamphlet on the wall and gives the camera a thumbs up.


Chuckles, Whatt, Liam

Spoiler:
2 skill points for having stuck with the game...or choose a new "specialized" skill.

I take the pills that Chuckles hands to me and dutifully pop them into my mouth.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with a crazy week with family and turkey day. After the weekend, I'll be able to be more involved again!

Sorry, the message that I posted on Tuesday was apparently eaten by the post monster. I was indeed away all week and my parents didn't have reliable internet service. I will post a full reply later tonight, I was just checking to see what had transpired over the Thanksgiving week.


Sweat breaks out on Whatt's forehead and he rubs his hands together manically. He grins like a loon into Liam's camera.

"Alright, team! This is it! Behind the door to 1X-Orange-317 lies the Commie cell The Computer has deemed us worthy of breaking. This is a huge honor for all of us, I know. A dream beyond the meager aspirations of a simple Red Citizen! Since we have also been mandated to test the exprimental equipment, that is probably what we should lead with. I know you are itching to use your knuckles... erm, Chuckles, but those will be secondary. We want some survivors for interrogation, so aiming for extremities and incapacitation is acceptable.

Chuckles, I need you to head in first... stay low and use that slug-thrower, because Whoo will be covering you high... That will give me a chance to recon the room. Get behind the first bit of cover that you can find. Whoo and I will move in to support you as we can. Liam, we need you to hang back so that you can catch the action on camera. Any questions?"


Male 100 meter dash Middle class

I check the mono filament grenade, and my normal grenades hanging from my belt to make sure they are secure. Pat my "knife" that is sitting in a sheath on my back and screw a laser barrel into my pistol body. "ready oh wise leader Whatt, lead on!"


Male

Chuckles gives his brass knuckles a solemn, longing look, gives them a quick kiss, whispers something bizarrely compassionate to them about being patient, then snaps into action and readies his slug thrower. He crouches down low to the ground, hunches over, and stealthily tiptoes over into 1X-Orange-317 with no hesitation or sign of fear. Behind his back, he begins making a series of hand signals to the rest of the team members. What he is attempting to communicate is completely unintelligible and random. You're not sure if he's telling everyone to fan out, indicating any acquired targets, or is simply adjusting a stubborn wedgie in his jumpsuit. But for the first time since meeting Chuckles, he actually seems calm, focused, and confident.

GM only:

Spoiler:
Is the room dark or lit? If the lights are out and/or if Chuckles sees no one in the room, he attempts to use his x-ray vision to acquire any hidden targets. 1d20 ⇒ 12 to succeed. Also I burn 5 perversity points to not be caught using my mutant power.


Chuckles:

Spoiler:
THAT WAS AWESOME!!! WHAT A FRAKING GREAT DESCRIPTION! 10PP!! heh. You sense NOTHING, with your X-Ray vision...the room is empty except for some papers blowing around in the AC.

The door slides open Chuckles slithers forward as Whoo covers him, Such efficiency is rarely seen, the room is completely black and no lights are on. you think you see some movement inside the room from the light from the hallway. The door closes from the hallway, leaving you in complete darkness...

GM only:

Spoiler:
Thank you for the vote of confidence, benevolent GM!


Male

Liam remains in the back, camera ready to capture the scuffle soon to occur, the Flazer "It seems that the commies have secreted themselves in the darkness, far away from Friend Computer's comforting lights. However, they shall be exposed to the light soon enough."

GM:

Spoiler:
So, does my camera have a light on it?


Male

As the door slams shut, Chuckles gesticulates to the team in reaction to the movement in the room, completely forgetting the fact that no longer can his teammates spot his actions. You hear the sound of Chuckles shuffling footsteps proceed further into the room.

GM only:

Spoiler:
So I can see no people, but can he see anything else? The layout of the room? Is there any furniture, crates, and such that people can be hiding behind? If so, I'll approach the nearest cover with caution and my slug thrower leading the way in case anyone is lying in wait. 1d20 ⇒ 18 to use x-ray vision.


Whatt covers Chuckles from his position, trying to see into the darkness. When the door slides closed, he jumps just a bit and lowers the hand flamer some. He looks at Whoo and shrugs.

"I honestly expected a bit hotter of a greeting in there," he says simply.

He punches the release on the door and will slip into the room and try to see if there is anything going on.


Liam: yes [spoiler]you have to turn it on though, and figure out where the light is. Whatt's hand flamer has a pinpoint light for the primer flame.

Chuckles: Not that you can tell

Whatt: The door doesn't open

Go ahead and post all visual information in ]spoilers[ since it's dark...

Spoiler:

In that case, Chuckles takes this rare opportunity to sneak a peek at his team members with his x-ray vision. 1d20 ⇒ 13 He's looking to spot any suspicious or treasonous gear, or possibly even evidence of mutant or commie behavior in his team mates. Add 5PP because I'm itching to find out what my own team members are hiding from me!

Ah, mutant! Kill it!


Whatt looks surprised when the door slides shut. He looks even more surprised when he pushes the button to open it and it remains closed. He purses his lips and starts punching keys at random. He glances back to Liam and shrugs "Well, this is certainly an unforseen event."

Feeling a cold sweat break out across his forehead and upper lip, Whatt looks for some mechanical reason the door would not open and/or way to bypass it.

GM Only

Spoiler:
Whatt will use his Electrical Engineering to try to bypass the door. His target is 8. Right now, I'm not going to spend any PP on the check.
1d20 ⇒ 5


Whoo:

Spoiler:
It would be insubordinate to not be in the room with Chuckles, as you were given orders by your team leader...did you enter?

Whoo: ** spoiler omitted **

Spoiler:
Well I was assuming that I was moving forward as I was covering him, so yes I am in the room with him

Whatt:

Spoiler:
You start tapping on the keys, nothing, you use your PDC to get some faint light on the panel, it appears there's no power to the panel...

Liam:

Spoiler:
You fiddle with your camera and get the light to turn on.

A Light shines into the room, illuminating papers blowing around from the AC units, you note the room to be quite chilly.

Whoo:

Spoiler:
Paranoia! post for the sake of posting

Everyone is being too cooperative...if this keeps up, I'll have to change it to a D&D game...

Chuckles:

Spoiler:
There's no movement beyond the papers blowing around.


Male

Chuckles loses his previous focus once the unexpected beam of light flashes in his eyes, and reacts by viscerally shouting. Incoherently at first. His wails turn into a high pitched cackle, followed by, "If you commie scum don't give yourselves up now, we'll have no choice but to blast you out! We know you're in here! I'm--hahhahahaha-- I'm getting impatient!"

Chuckles starts jerkily spinning around, darting his eyes, and waving his slughthrower recklessly in the air above his head in a show of arrogant dominance. "You have ::cackle:: no idea who you're dealing with, you filthy slime!!"

GM only:

Spoiler:
I sure hope that Chuckles' slugthrower "accidentally" goes off in the face of one of his team mates while he's ranting and losing all his wits. 1d20 ⇒ 9. I'll spend 5pp to make sure he hits one team member. Let's say...Whoo, just for the hell of it. He hasn't died yet. How could Chuckles be so careless as to leave his finger on the trigger like that?!
Actually, since my secret mission is to kill my team, I'm going all out, chucking in an extra 5pp for some kind of chain reaction with my second roll. 1d20 ⇒ 8
What if Chuckles hits one member, they topple over into another, and so on? (Is someone still holding those precious flame globes?) After all, this equipment is experimental, no one would blame me if there was a malfunction...would they? ::cough::

P.S. If I do succeed in any of the "accidental" shooting, did I happen to see any secret/treasonous gear or mutations of my team mates prior to the light turning on? I suppose that matters less at this point


Whatt nods when he hears Chuckles shouting... He starts drifting along the side of the room using his hand flamer as a torch, looking for any kind of access panel for wiring. "Good! Good! You are correct, Chuckles! I will count unto five using the sublime reckoning of our Friend and Protector, The Computer... Binary."

He moves clockwise around the perimiter of the room.

"Zero! One! That is it! You have forfeted your rights to existance if you are not on the ground right now!"

Spoiler:
Gonna use concealment to conceal myself from any possible enemy in the room and then I am going to use intimidation and moxy to attempt to get any opponents out into the open.

While Intimidating/whatever opponents around the room I will use oratory and suggestion to subliminally suggest to them that if they have need to kill someone then Chuckles is a much more enjoyable kill then I am.

stealth: concealment 9
Management: Intimidation 6, Moxy 6, and Oratory
Wetware: Suggestion 5

I begin to speak to the invisible commies as well, "We mean you no harm! Well other then to shoot you and blow you up but Chuckles is sure that your next clones will be much more loyal to the great computer then you so it wont be such a big loss... Chuckles just want you to come out in the open so that he can see you and have a clear shot so he doesn't destroy anything unnecessary." etc, etc.

Just waiting for a post from Liam before all hell breaks lose...or maybe it doesn't...

"Come out little Commies, we won't bi-SWEET MERCIFUL COMPUTER DID YOU SEE THAT!" Liam suddenly aims his camera at the ceiling, moving it around violently.

GM:

Spoiler:
Alright, let's see if I can make everyone else think this suddenly turned into a bug hunt by pointing the main source of light at any heating ducts and screaming incoherently about a commie monster. Who knows, maybe there really is something up there. :) If there is please let it eat me, the cameraman, last.


The scene goes from high noon at midnight in tombstone, to one of pure chaos, everyone is shouting over each other, the light swings toward the vents as it captures the maniacal machinations of your Happiness Officer, the slugthrower is swinging every which way, as the light shines on the vent, shots ring out, everyone is blinded by the white phosphorous rounds striking the vents and flaring up, you suddenly hear someone begin to scream in pain, dozens of rounds fly about the room, You hear one pierce a thin piece of plastic, then suddenly there's a extreme heat to your right sides...a burning heat as the Fire retardant material of the flame globes cases suddenly catches fire...little too much napalm in the retardant...

Whoo:

Spoiler:
You get shot in the face with an incendiary round. Your next clone will be dispatched in time for debriefing.

Liam:

Spoiler:
You're blinded currently, you fell down as you jumped back from the flame globes, and fell over something. You're also wounded by the searing bits of White Phosphorous falling from the ceiling.

Whatt:

Spoiler:
You're blinded, you see a "negative of the keypad in your vision, but that's fading to white now.

Chuckles:

Spoiler:
Your vision is gone, but you can now make out everything with your XRay vision. Liam fell over the headless Whoo; Whatt is still standing near the keypad for the door. You took a wound from the bits of falling white phosphorous.

You hear several botbrains screeching "What happened? My visual sensors are malfunctioning.

GM

Spoiler:
All electronics were overloaded by the brilliant flashes.


Male

"GAH! MY EYES! I CAN'T SEE MY EYES!"

GM:

Spoiler:
Well, now's as good a time as any to set off a Mental Blast and get a few people to fall unconscious while they burn to death. Spending a Perversity Point to make it better, or something like that.

Whatt:

"you hear your PDC beeping that you have a message"


GM Only

Spoiler:
With impending catastrophy breaking out all around him, Whatt dives to the floor and covers his head with his hands. While the screaming continutes, he scoots toward the wall and rubs at his eyes vigorously. He will try to open his eyes and see as soon as possible. He resists the urge to scream out at the attackers.


Male

GM only:

Spoiler:

What can I see with my x ray vision? What do I see the other troubleshooters doing? Do I see any suspicious activity? 1d20 ⇒ 1

Here's hoping that everyone else is either blinded by the flash, or the dark. Chuckles is really desperate to make this look like an accident. He shoots himself in the left foot.

"I'm hit! Those commie scum HIT ME! What's going on? Can anyone see anything? Hahahaha wow this really hurts! Oh man! Hahaha I can't find my pills!! I heard multiple shots! Who else is hit? Hee hee hee where are my pills?! "


Male

GM only:

Spoiler:
oops I didn't roll to shoot my foot. 1d20 ⇒ 17


Chuckles:

Spoiler:
You shoot yourself in the foot with an incendiary round? With that 17 for a roll, you're saved from maiming yourself when the slugthrower jams, white phosphorous begins to leak out of the barrel, and the magazine cartridge, in about 4 seconds the gun is going to be a molten pile of slag...Man, you're going to have to explain where the slug-thrower is when you get debriefed.


Chuckles:

Spoiler:
You're knocked out by a killer migraine. You're brain is maimed...

Liam:

Spoiler:
You hear two more bodies hit the floor.

Whatt:
