Title: MAD Scientists
Post by: MonkeyMarkMario on September 16, 2019, 10:28:05 pm
Ah science, it has been your friend for as long as you can remember. Your friend helped you with an idea you had. It took a while to see your idea come to life. How long did it take?
1) 1 day (it’s already possible, just not even close to how you wanted)
2) 1 months(your friend hates you, what happened is the opposite of what you wanted)
3) 3 months(only part of your idea works)
4) 6 month(it works, hopefully)
5) 1 long year(everything works as intended)
6) 5 really long years(you made sure it works and then some)

What was your idea?
A)generic cloning
B)super clones
C)fission cloning
D)not cloning, anything but cloning(write in, something sciency from fiction or the future)

Oh ya and what is your name?

What is this: An RTD about being a crazy scientist.
The Rolls: Sciency:
  1) it’s already possible, just not even close to how you wanted
  2) your friend hates you, what happened is the opposite of what you wanted
  3) only part of your idea works
  4) it works, hopefully
  5) everything works as intended
  6) you made sure it works and then some
 Other:
  1) it broke in a horrific way
  2) it just breaks
  3) it does not break, it also does not happen
  4) it kind of happens
  5) it perfectly happens
  6) it perfectly happens, it also breaks
How many players: 10 max, 2 min
Update schedule: Ya that never has worked. Just hope it does not end.
Is there an ending: No more scientists, 1 month without an update(unless I mention a hiatus), or 1st scientist with 10 patents
How do I get patents and what are they: Sell an invention or steal one from another player, for this game they are just victory points and nothing else
 How do I steal one: Do you want me to tell you everything?
  Yes: Figure that one out on your own.
Where are we: Does Earth sound good?
 What if I say no: Too bad.
When are we: 2050
 Why: Because I said so.
Will there be a sequel: Ask me when this ends.
 Is this a sequel to something: I don’t know, at most it’s a spiritual successor to Scientist Roll to Dodge
What about . . .: You know what any more question can come from actual people.
 But I am a person: . . . You are me
  What: Enough.

Any questions?

The Morphing Cube 2.0
After the war with the Yeerks, Fiona learned about the technology the ‘Andalite bandits’ used. Sa cube that gave people the power to morph into any animal they touch. This lasts for two hours. Fiona managed to convince the Andalites to let her try to improve it. Her improvements allowed her to create Morphing Cube 2.0, which is like the original except that it is possible to be in morph for an entire day without getting trapped as your morph, as opposed to the 2 hour limit of the original

Name: Dr Adderson
Idea: Psionic powers, and how to access them.
Timeframe: 5 years, 3 spent doing rigorous testing on both humans and animals to determine it’s existence, and the other two developing various prototype methods for accessing it.

The idea of psychic power has been around and well known, but very few attempts have been made to harness it with the rise of cybernetics and genetic engineering. as such, the power of the mind is almost entirely unexplored and most of the potential applications have yet to be discovered.

the only reason magic happened in the last game that Dr.Adderson was involved in was because some crazy archaeologist turned warlock forced him to learn some, after others decided to use that as their research. i much prefer to go the “X-Com” route with psionics. Telekinesis, mind control, and similar are what I prefer to go for.

Idea : Protein-X - ultimate bodybuilding serum, developed from prions discovered frozen in ice near one of arctics many scientific bases  : it improves muscle gains, decreases fat percentage, kills sense of pain and enhances blood circulation and metabolism  to push athletes above all limits.
Sideeffects involve : agression, mental degeneration, increased sense of hunger, in case of subjects death prion takes control over the body functions and attempts to spread itself .

[1]As soon as you and the zombie leave the lab it targets a passersby. [5]The passerby was infected by the zombie before either one of you could react. (# of passersby: 1(you are one lucky person)) Infected people will not die, though can keep active zombies docile by being next to them, if passerby becomes infected or attacked by a zombie they will inform the authorities unless stopped.

[5] You begin testing 17 of the inmates and discover: 7 have perfect potential, 6 have excellent potential, and 4 have great potential. (psionic unlock potential percentages: perfect(95-100), excellent(85-95), great(70-85), good(50-70), some(25-50), little(0-25), null(0))

I shall take my werewolf DNA and grow it into a werewolf.
[4 reroll:3]You take your werewolf DNA and decide to grow it. To grow it you find a slab of human meat and a slab of wolf meat and inject the DNA in each and put lay them out and start waiting for them to grow. Growing DNA will either go up or down depending on rolls+modifiers; if it hits 100 the DNA was successfully grown, if it hit -100 it spoils and cannot be grown

It never really gets to the point of looking exactly like gold, it does end up having the properties of gold, except the coloring(1 1cm cube Grey GOOP changed to: 1 5mm cube Grey GOOP and 1 1cm cube Grey GOOP(properties of gold minus the color)).

Quote from: Sydney Hertz
Name: Sydney Hertz
Idea: Creating a true digital mind, beyond the constraints of an organic mind. By extension, uploading of consciousness to computers. (Note: friend was Dr. Nix)
Timeframe: 6 months (we have a decent prototype?)

Time to find someone who can help with testing the ability, intelligence, and "personness" of my creation.
Science has given you a 128 terabyte preformatted computer with a tiny AI(100 GB). How this will help you I don’t know, science is finicky sometimes. Your current lab has a 128 terabyte preformatted computer with a 100GB AI.

“surprising results from testing. It works surprisingly well through everything from solid rock to lead lined and reflective insulated walls. Range is a bit on the short side, but there might be a way to bypass that restriction.
Begin filing for patent on telepathic communications while also searching for people with cloning, genetic engineering, or cybernetics experience. They hold the key to my next device in that direction: The psionic relay.
As for our new telekinetics, lets give them a bit of testing now as well: start small, with one or two weights at roughly 4-5 lb intervals starting at 1 and gradually going up to 300. if we find a weight limit, lets go the opposite direction and try to find how many items can be lifted separately at one time telekinetically and if there is a weight limit there as well.

[5]Turns out filing for patents was easy and you got your first patent in telepathic communication(+1 patent), you find a few people in all those fields(chose one field and gain +1 to that specific path or work with Sydney Hertz and whatever that entails). 2800 lb is the max that can be controlled at once by one person, as the weight lessens multiple items can be controlled, the number varies as long as the combined weight does not exceed 2800 lb.

You are not happy with the speed of their growth so you come up with 3 ways to speed up their growth: 1)let them hunt(will multiply the growth roll by a d6), 2)inject them with growth hormones(growth die changes from a d10>d100), 3)Focus all your attention on them(growth roll changes to d100/2)(this has been happening)

It seems every group unlocked their potential in someway, except the petty criminals luckily they don’t lose any potential.

Your current lab has a gnome sequencer and a vile of The Darius Virus(100){infectivity:1/10, severity:1/1000}.   Infectivity: the first number is how many people will get it from one person, the second number is how many people between infections; Severity: the first number is how many people will die from it, the second number is how many people have to have the virus

Quote from: sprinkled chariot
Inject protein x 2.0 into "zombies", it should restore their intellect and push them  beyond their previous level.

Then work on protein-x 2.0 formula to make it increase psychic and cognitive potential of human brain 

[5]The zombies have slightly restored(1/10) intellect and are stronger(2X). After you injected the zombies you worked on protein-x 2.0s formula, it now increases psychic potential and cognitive abilities by 10%. protein-x 2.0{2x strength, 10% intelligence, psychic potential, and cognitive abilities}

Keep teaching the werewolves basic stuff and try to remove their confusion, then buy an ambulance.

Lets start scaling the rollout up a bit. Take a few of the best and brightest telepaths and telekinetics from the previous classes, and recruit them as teachers. More teachers means more class capacity, and more capacity means faster training, both due to the number of students and less of the teacher's focus being split, which allows them to either focus on prodigal students, or help those that are falling behind get the basics down.

2 new viruses have pop upped recently, one of which hijacks the body of it's host causing said host to attack others thus spreading the virus. The second virus is one that seems to have jumped from rats to humans and doctors are not sure what it does yet.
Quote from: events
1st outbreak: people will go to the doctor if they think there is something wrong(-50% spread of Darius virus)
It's the rats!: people will kill rats by any means necessary(Darius virus -50% chance to jump from rats to human, -d100 infected rats every turn)
Zombies?: people infected with the zombie virus have a 10% chance to be put down(1% zombies eliminated every turn)
"Well fuck."
Let's get Thoth on this. Shelf all the CPU core and SSD/RAM improvement, there's more important stuff going on. There's plenty of medical information online; if we need money to look at some of the research papers, then so be it, we can afford that. Also, make sure that Thoth knows that they can expand basically however much they need to for this; there's plenty of space, and if taking up more of it will help, they very much can.
Can we use telekinesis to safely handle the infected? Can we use telepathy to talk to the "zombies"?

this does not bode well. Gather all the uninfected psychics and start devising countermeasures to detect rats and infected alike. Personally start a quiet research into Mind control, preferably on creatures less intelligent than humans. DO NOT under any circumstances let anyone except sydney know about this, for fear of it's abuse before proper technique can be devised to resist it.

[7 (precog reroll irrelevant)]You devise a plan of action and the Thoth AIs start working on it with you.  95 progress is made to combat the viruses(1000 needed(as of now)).
Yes you can move others with telekinesis. You can project to the zombies but not receive anything from them.

Quote from: news
Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Darius the threat of the virus named after him(he discovered it is what is being told) there no possibility of it spreading, he has put all the infected in a containment unit that he has and has begun working on the cure.
The other virus, being called the zombie virus, has gotten worse with the zombies beginning to kill people as well as infect them. Local Private Military Companies have gotten involved and have started containing people and eliminating zombies.

Ok, so we don’t need to focus on the Darius Virus (for now... it’s certainly still suspicious). Let’s try to figure out what we can about the zombies and what causes them, both for tactics to prevent them from spreading and for more information on how to cure them, or at least immunize people.

Continue research into mind control, occasionally doing field testing from a safe distance on some zombies. If I can corral them into areas where they will not be a threat, i'll call this a success.

Also, have my assistants/teachers look into the possibility of genetics influencing psionic potential. The idea of gene therapy as a means to boost psionic power seems likely, given that dogs are psionically sensitive. Perhaps there is a link between the breeding practices and their psionic development?

Well, those diseases may not be directly problematic anymore, but that doesn't mean we can't still use the fact that we were doing medical research. After all, patents on those sorts of things are worth a lot. Thoth (er, the Thoths?) should work on developing cures or treatments for various illnesses; while a cure for something previously incurable would be wonderful, as would being able to treat something previously untreatable, if all we can do is make something that's more effective, or more reliable, or what-have-you, that's still worth something.

Sure, tho no 'morphing cube' stuff, also remember you can do multiple actions a turn.
(Understood. Thank you)

continue working on the cure

assistants continue trying to cause mutations in the patients

reply to Dr.adderson about how i can't stop for reasons of figuring out how the virus works to improve progress for the cure

added another mutation to DA-2 to increase intelligence

create two triggers to set off the bomb, keep one on me

see if anyone is will to buy the gas bomb i made on the weapons market, label it as gas bomb and not say anything about it containing the Darius virus, use the name Atlas for who is selling it

send a message to the PMC that i am almost finished a cure for the darius virus but if anything goes wrong then all progress will be lost, so i am thankful for the warning

send a considerably large bribe to the PMC to stop anyone from interfering with my work, i recently got a message from dr.adderson demanding i stop trying to understand how the Darius virus works and focus on the cure only which i could not comply to since i need to understand it better to create a cure faster

if someone tries to break in to the lab delete all data in the lab, and infect self with DA-2

if infected patients go berserk warn PMC and release them to the out side
[rolls: 3, 6]45 progress made toward the cure. Your assistants cause the strength mutation to activate. Darius virus gains Mutation(intelligence): 23(chance someone will get this(intelligence) everyday). The bomb has the triggers and one is one you person. You get lots of potential buyers, they are none the wiser. Dr. Adderson gave them(the PMC) a slightly better offer, see quote: The Battle of 2 Crazies

Sydney, not really knowing what to do with all of the recent events, and realizing that medicine really is not her area of expertise, returns to her work on CPU cores, and also trawls through Thoth's code again for more patentable code pieces.
She also asks Thoth what they think of everything that's been happening.

[rolls: 4 ,5 + 1 = 6]You get close to finishing your work on CPU cores, doing 60 progress. You want patent-able code, well here you go: AI base code, Advanced AI code, Auto Duplication code. Congratulations you won the game.
"I could have predicted this."

Pay/offer to train the PMC's personnel in psionics in exchange for them shutting down and confiscating any and all research by Dr Darius for me to examine and destroy.if they agree to do so, Go with them in hazmat gear and make sure to mind control any infected I come across to ensure they are contained and quarentined properly. I have a strong feeling he has ulterior motives, and that the darius outbreak was merely him testing the waters.
[rolls: 2, 6, 1 + 1 = 7]They accept your offer see quote: The Battle of 2 Crazies

Uhm, so what does PMC need me to do ?
And by the way this whole zombie thing was done as goverment project of creating supersoldiers, test subjects breaking containment was not part of the plan

[rolls: 2]The PMC has you study the plague you almost started under strict supervision. Also no one believes you.

try to damage as many of them as possible before I die. Bite at their necks, heads, legs, scratch at them, whatever I can manage. If possible kill some, but that is unlikely given my injuries

If I manage to escape, turn into a human then into cardinal, and fly back to my lab

[rolls: 1]You get overwhelmed and die. Don't bother creating a new character as the game is over.

Keep trying to train the grown werewolves to be my lab assistants, then figure out something to make the werewolves grow faster.
[rolls: 1] The werewolves that you started a little bit ago died due to you overdoing it on trying to get them to grow faster. The other, grown werewolves just ignore you.

Quote from: The Battle of 2 Crazies
Dr. Adderson hp: +30
Dr. Darius hp: +15
PMC hp: +15

Hello Dr. Darius I am Dr. Adderson. You should have just accepted my demand.

NEVER, NOW GET OUT OF MY HEAD

The psychic backlash weakened Adderson(-5 hp), but he pushed on, I did not expect you to be so strong mentally

That is not the only thing you underestimate me on

Darius launched another psychic attack on Adderson, who was not able to get his mental shields up(-6 hp). It was at this time that the PMC launched their attack and it went straight into the containment chamber and got attacked by the infected(-8 hp).

The PMC try to fight their way through and get pounded(-4 hp). The PMC decide to retreat, but got stalled on the infected. It was at this time that Darius decided to wipe his lab computer data stores. His assistants were told to find Dr. Adderson and bring him into the lab.
Adderson decide to mind control everyone he could in Darius' lab, when he got to Darius however he got psychic backlash(-3 hp):Stop trying to control me, oh and leave before you can't

Adderson realized that his mental fortitude was really weakened, he decide that Darius could not defeat him. At this time the PMC was on full retreat, or trying to.  They continue to be stalled on the infected. Adderson decided to try to shift things around in the lab and he ended up hitting Darius( - 3 hp). He continued to move stuff and hit Darius again(- 3 hp).

Darius was getting frustrated and told the infected that these people did not want them to get better and they better stop everyone. The infect try to beat up the PMC soldiers, but they both keep about the same. They try one more time and killed all but one of the PMC soldiers(1 hp left).

Adderson mentally attacks Darius again and Darius lost this time(-4 hp). The infected overrun the last soldier and rush Adderson, who realizes too late as he is in another mental battle with Darius. He ends up making Darius a vegetable and gets over ran by the infect.


Once the infect get out and realize their 'savoir' is worthless, they disperse back into the general population. As for the virus bomb, it is lost in the ruins of Darius' lab.

I guess getting second place isn't that bad given that everyone else died.

Its was fun while it lasted, but can we disallow physic stuff next time, I didn't try anything big because I figured they'd mindread it and come ruin it before I even got started.

Was fun while it lasted
Though little dissapointment  being cockblocked from doing any psychic research on my own or not getting protein x noncombat buffs and being railed into " do zombie stuff "
