So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Prepare Shotgun in case I need to be the hero.

Check where Faith's club is and take it. Send shockwaves in her direction, trying to avoid killing teammates while I keep my distance and move around in BT. If possible, destroy both of her legs using that method.

"Faith has the keys, doesn't she. Well shit. Alright, I'm gonna try something. Everyone stand off to the side of the door, just in case they're waiting."

Wait until everyone with me is no longer standing directly in front of the door shoving the out of the way if necessary, then use my amp to remove the pins from the door's hinges. If it is heavily reinforced, just rip the damn thing down.
You yank the pins out of the hinges of the door and it  falls open, revealing a staircase up to the next floor.
Ahh fuck! My fucking arm! Cecil moans, quite loudly. He isn't quite sure how he feels, at least physically. He's pissed and a little scared, his whole arm is just... Gone.

Can I crawl the hell out of here? Or at least get behind something and stay hidden?
You drag yourself back behind the throne, leaving a bloody smear the whole way.

((I'm tempted to try a speech roll or to simply start punching my way through this diner, but let's not risk ruining this any more than it already is.))

While aiming at the basement hole, use my drone to look around the area Faith was last in, the place her signal cut off. Anything interesting around there? Any buildings?

((I think it's a heavily reinforced door, the kind of thing you'd find in a vault or bunker.))
The area where faith's signal cut off is within view of the radio telescope; an enormous concave concrete structure in the hills outside of town. There are a few buildings, old homes, near by.

Reload laser rifle.
You reload.

Various kinds of waiting and preparing!

Seeing as NotFaith is pretty close to me right now, Use my mass amp to make a blast of force to punt her away from me. Don't skimp on the power, either. Like, try and gauge how much I'd need to punt her across the room, then try and double that. Make sure I'm not holding on to her when I make the blast.

Once she's away from me, if I still have brainpower left, use mass amp to hold her down so my teammates can more easily deal with her.

If the blast doesnt work and Faith starts attacking me again, use a really really powerful shockwave to just blast her away again, because I sure as hell ain't dyin' in no basement.

Your shockwave is less like the fist of an angry god and more like the stiff breeze of an apathetic superhuman breaking wind. You're not even sure if the thing controlling faith noticed it.


Check where Faith's club is and take it. Send shockwaves in her direction, trying to avoid killing teammates while I keep my distance and move around in BT. If possible, destroy both of her legs using that method.
Faith's Club is embedded in the wall farther down the tunnel, away from the ladder down and the cul-de-sac with all the machines. You run past her towards it, and she runs past you. As you tear the weapon out of the wall, she leaps toward Feyri.
Activate rockets; get anyone not directly engaged with Faith out.
Lets hope you roll well.

...

Feyri, seeing Faith's high speed charge towards her, leaps backwards and activates her rockets at the same time, literally spearing herself down the tunnel, straight into Auron, and taking them both at least a quarter mile away.

Keep watching out for possible incoming military intervention.

How many levels/floors are there in that diner? Including the ground level, but not the basement.


((Gotta wonder how Faith is leaping with a single leg and arm :o

Also, is it Auron or Faith that Feyri took with her? ))

((Looks like I misremembered then.))

"Hey, Steve? Know anything about this place? Some history about this suburb? Was it built before the telescope or after? Anything interesting around here?"

((If the below is too much, just do as much as you find reasonable.))

Ask Steve.

What can I see on the Radio Telescope? Is it more like Arecebo (a stationary dish scanning one point of the sky) or can it move?
If it can move, would I say it's pointing roughly in the same direction as the dish on the roof?
Anything else interesting or strange about it? Strange men or helicopters flying around it? James Bond sliding in it?

Pilot the drone closer to the structures and see if they have anything identifying or anything interesting on them (like a sign or a flag) or near them (like a subway entrance or a monument).
Any sewer manholes I can see nearby?

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

(( No mindfuckery, great.))

Feyri, shoot now.

Start sending amp cudgel shockwaves in Faith's direction, at my full speed and in BT, without hitting Feyri and other team mates. Try aiming for Faith's sides. Go after my sword's handle and put it back in the hilt. Avoid friendly fire.

"Follow up behind me, and shoot anyone that isn't us."

Raise my riot shield in front of me, and head up the stairs. If I see anyone upstairs that isn't part of my team, use my amp to decapitate them.

Go upstairs with Morul. Flashbang whatever room / space is at the top of the stairs, before we enter. Use dex bonus to not mess up.
