((Right, the turn is basically finished, we just need to "Reddify" RED_QUEEN's text, and add some more facts to the output of Secrets Laid Bare. Unfortunately, Corsair is now sick and unable to think straight. If you wish, I could post the draft right now without those changes. Otherwise the turn will be delayed.))

It's an "Either / Or" from me. I hope Corsair feels better soon!

((Hahahahah! I have this problem in EVERY RPG, gotta love me some hoarding!))

If I put some more points into STR, will I be un(or less)-overencumbered?

No. It is not only a matter of weight, but also of volume.

Ah yea, fair enough. Worth the ask!

Distribute my 5 points thusly:
STR +1
DEX +1
WILL +1
POOL +2

DO THE THINGS! SAY THE WORDS! SCIENCE! INVENTORY CLEANING!

((What do you mean exactly by "and not just an in universe trade"? Your list of meta-recorded spells vs the ones you've actually done?))

"No offence to your own suggestion, but I get the feeling that if I push my luck and make the question too broad, then the answer will just be worse then what I would've got by keeping the question focused on the main part."

"Besides, it doesn't take all that long before I can ask my operator another question."

"TZINACAN, tell me the secrets of this big-ass tower."
((Oh, I just meant RPing our characters swapping words, my list is significantly meta, or else I'd just have futuristic magnet deathbears :)) ))

"Yea no offense taken, that's probably the best course of action."

Say "29", preferably behind something (like a wall, or big car/van, whatever) so even if I spawn an accidental flash-bang and the sniper/spotter team was paying attention they would hopefully not notice. Hopefully. How far away are we?

Also ask my handler for any useful info he may have on this scenario, and if he has any useful tibbits or tricks we could make use of either on this place or the people guarding it (if he has any info he can give us at all that is).

((Page one seems to be substances, page two forms, page three "targeting" (loose definition) and I assume page four is modifiers/effects.))
((That'd line up with my sparse list so far.))

"Yeah I've been having some issues straightening out how this works, though I admit I haven't seen the need for various gadgets that kill people until now."

"So wait, the guys up there aren't with you? Well, I think we'd probably get shot to bits then, so we should probably avoid that killzone."

"We should probably share what we know, magical-dictionary wise, though I don't doubt you know more then me."

"Give me a minute, I have an idea."

"TZINACAN, tell me the secrets of this big-ass tower."

((Just assume I'm referring to whatever building we're actually trying to get into if it's not the tower, I don't have a good picture of this area.))
((I've been building my dictionary turn by turn from everyone's science, and have a record of every (well, possibly missing one or two) spell cast so I can Sudoku the spell meanings and costs together later, but I have some already, if you actually want them (and not just an in universe trade) let me know, I'll post them.))

"So you have a handler too eh? And yours tells you secrets? Handy. Mine is a dapper, lucky fellow. If you want a slightly more vague but useful question, might I reccomend 'tell me the secrets of this research facility?' May, or may not, end up with a more useful answer."

((As far as structure goes there is a main tower, two (presumably connected) smaller buildings like wings and a smaller still building behind it. I presume some sort of maintenance structure, or alternate entrance. I assume))

Also, if the turn is made before we finish talking, say "29", preferably behind something (like a wall, or big car/van, whatever) so even if the sniper/spotter team was paying attention they would hopefully not notice.

"The help? I...suppose, I wasn't really well informed on what I was going to be doing."

"I'm Lewis Ryles, and yeah, I got a terminal, so you're like me?"
"If by 'like me' you mean having the worlds best, but worst documented, dictionary in your head then yea."
"I wasn't expecting anyone else to show up, let alone be pulled into this but hey, If you'd like to help me storm this random research building we're looking for some files with 'PROTECTOR' or such on them and they should be in the server bunkers... wherever that is."
Ned eyes the lone revolver on Lewis' hip, and his own 'eclectic' collection.
"Normally I wouldn't say this to strange people I meet in a random carpark but.. maybe it might pay to be more heavily armed? Have you figured this magic stuff out yet? ."

((Page one seems to be substances, page two forms, page three "targeting" (loose definition) and I assume page four is modifiers/effects.))

"Once we're ready, I'd say we should probably sneak around the back into that lone building behind the three here. With any luck there will be connecting tunnels that'll keep us out of the way of the firing squad here. Probably trapped up the wazoo with cameras and motion detectors but hey. Getting shot later is more fun than getting shot now. Who knows, maybe these guys are under-financed? What do you think?"

(( I've got to admit, I kinda want to pinch the large collection of weaponry the guys on top of the building are using, but let's face it, probably won't end well :P ))

Ah fuck! It's the System League, is this thing trying to get me killed?!

Ryles puts on a fake looking smile and does a small wave.

"Hi! Don't be alarmed! I may have teleported out of thin air but..."

Ryles gets a good eyeful of the Rope Horse.

"Uh....just don't kill me, please?"
Ned Killy just stares blankly at the man who just appeared out of... nowhere... It ranks as definitely weird, but downright mundane by today's standards. Today's standards being offered the blue and the red pill, grinding them up and snorting the lot with a side of horse tranquilizer.
Ned Killy recovers.
"Hey there, I suppose you're the help? Can't fault your response times I guess. Don't worry about the horse, he... she.. it's tame, probably a good thing the bear isn't here but that's another mind bending story..
The name's Ned Killy. Up until not to long ago I was a citizen here. Events... transpired and now, well, I've made a new friend and now I'm taking help from people who just pop out of literally nowhere to steal files for... people? I guess? Anyway: Welcome to the gang!"
Somewhat more warily:
"I suppose you also got one of those weird terminals? And all that followed?"

((So yea, looks like the compound is reasonably well defended on the outside, or at least against "normal" threats, probably similar inside, but maybe automated security as well? We could just rush or sneak in but I'm thinking of maybe doing some more prep or something, certainly having a little chat in character :)) ))

THIS PLEASES ME.
THIS PLEASES ME GREATLY.

If I can strap my shield to my back then do so, if not say WORDS and use the result to (hopefully) do the same.

Also cast Other Words and see what happens!

Go pick up both the Halberd and the Rapier, take a deep breath of satisfaction and head up the stairs.

((I will spend my soul-points shortly, depending on what I want to do next, once I figure that out/find out what's going to go on upstairs!))

Yay! Moar updates!

Also yay! Acetone!.. wait.

To my follower:
"Oh yea, kinda forgot to mention. I can do magic. Don't know why exactly, but 'the powers that be' decided to give me awesome powers of my own in order to do... something about saving the world. In this case grab some files.
In case you were wondering how I ended up riding a neodymium magnet murderbear... yea. I have no idea what most of this stuff does, but I'm slowly getting the grips of it."

"d0 22"

Grab the (hopefully save and/or usable) sword, scan the carpark for threats and if seemingly safe head on in through the least dangerous looking entrance. Or the front door, whatever works.

To my follower:
"Hey, you were the one who said 'experience is as valuable as gold' right? I doubt you'd get this carnival ride elsewhere. Then again you might, the world has gotten pretty weird lately."

Adopt a defensive pose behind my shield and use my WILL POWARS to HACK with my Halberd, the whole idea is to get it stuck, if at all possible.

Let us begin to litter this arena with weapons!

Try WORDS to make a soul-stealing-steel halberd!

Try and stab, smack, hit, poke, jab, boop, chop or otherwise violently touch it with my new weapon. :D

Hmm,
ALTERNATE ACTION!
Take shelter behind my shield, and use my WILL POWARS to try and embed my rapier into the beast, as deeply as possible (hopefully so it won't immediately tear out, but given the grippy and reach-y nature of tentacles...)

(("As deeply as possible" here means "fingers crossed for good rolls!" :P ))

Mutter:
"Yea, I'm alright with some menial work, I could do with something completely menial to turn completely mental. By Accident I swear. Pray tell"

Wander off in whatever direction he indicates, and mutter (my follower will learn sooner or later, so eh, but if hes not paying attention I'm fine with that):
"06" [Dedicate 7/14 COMP]
"07" [Dedicate 7/14 COMP]

((Good News Everybody! I now have insane and reliable internet. Well. I assume reliable. It's pretty good tho. Anyway I should actually update more often and timely now, and if one of you talk to me I might even respond :P ))

Oh yea, do a thing!

Or more specifically, DO NOTHING! MWAHAHAHA!

Try to avoid combat for the next turn so I can regen my MojOz! Also non-combat focus POT, unless attacked, in which case dodge first and focus pot. :P
