((Oh yes, easy mission that. Not. Did we read the same thing there? About a fifth permadied, about half died regularly. It was literally a city full of murderous robots trying to kill us. Got me a cool suit, though.))

((Well, the permadeaths were mostly because of Timmy, so those don't really count.))

"Steve, are there any convicts you've particularly liked over the years? Like, somebody you really start to root for and whatnot."

"Also, a thought just occurred to me. Brain-computers like yourself do become unstable sometimes, right? Do they have therapists for that or something?"

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Continue talking to Steve, or rather asking a bunch of questions before remembering that I need to stop if I want answers.

"Can I go talk to Ms. Feyri? Oh, I know, can I take Equaterina into her program? Wait, why didn't you tell me where Mr. Jim is? Is he dead? How did he die? Why doesn't anyone tell me what's going on? Is it because I'm a kid? If you had eyes, would you be giving me that look everyone always gives me? Why do they give me that look? Is that because I'm a kid, too? Kids can do stuff, too, you know. Look at that kid from the one musical...um...the French one. What was he called?"

Run into nearby house, Kinetic Manipulator-Punch anyone who gets in my way. Find attractive young busty lass and hold her at gun point.

Go perfectly still and silent.
wait and listen


Glance upwards and confirm that the line of sight to the rooftops where I think the shooter is are blocked, then belly-crawl along the wash, looking for tripwires or other traps, in the direction that leads more closer to the shooter, if the wash goes perpendicular to the shooter, move in the direction away from the suburb we came from. do NOT give the shooter a clear line of sight on me at any point during this.

You have cover from the roof tops but you're not really sure where the shots are coming from. You manage to skitter down the wash  bit until you come to a concrete embankment with a twin pair of outlet pipes set into it. It looks like this is the feed for the wash.

((...vaguely bovine O_o

Ok, I never thought of anything like that when reading the desc you gave...elaborate later please?))

Precautions:
Any abrupt noises should be listened for--differences in the ambient noise.
Any glint of light or sound in the distance, try heading towards Lyra's location from another route.


Why was a tripwire set up recently? As if whoever the hunter was knew there would be prey...

Are we being watched like animals for the slaughter? Like sport 'for the joy of the hunt'?


"Alright Charles, its you and me along with one of our colleagues in this hunter scenario. What do you propose we do? I've a feeling like we're being watched constantly--however, I'd like to get to my friend first to check on her. She's by the wash, any ideas?"
Vaguely bovine. As in your features appear to be mildly similar to a cow. Wide set, brown eyes, Large jaw and thick skull, broad shoulders, heavily muscled, short fingers, wide nose, etc.

Also of course the hunter knows there's prey. He's here specifically for you. And you have been living in that house and scavenging from those stores for a while now, as indicated by your footprints leading from the room.

You see no lights or glinting and hear no noises, meaning the hunter is either some sort of crazy mutant  thats shooting rocks at lyra with psychic powers or he's just hidden somewhere you can't see him.

And well, you just run straight  out of the strip mall, your intentions vague and poorly explained. It seems to go great for about eight seconds before a gauss rifle round punches straight through your tibia and sends you crumpling face first to the ground.

Get up. Try to get close while avoiding any incoming atack then stab his chest.

Just gonna point out that you can't stab with a monoatomic sword. Much like a katana, it's slicing only.

((Oh yes, easy mission that. Not. Did we read the same thing there? About a fifth permadied, about half died regularly. It was literally a city full of murderous robots trying to kill us. Got me a cool suit, though.))

((Well, the permadeaths were mostly because of Timmy, so those don't really count.))

"Steve, are there any convicts you've particularly liked over the years? Like, somebody you really start to root for and whatnot."

"Also, a thought just occurred to me. Brain-computers like yourself do become unstable sometimes, right? Do they have therapists for that or something?"


Ask. Spin around briefing room.

>Liked? More like "understood the value of".

>More like mechanics.


Continue talking to Steve, or rather asking a bunch of questions before remembering that I need to stop if I want answers.

"Can I go talk to Ms. Feyri? Oh, I know, can I take Equaterina into her program? Wait, why didn't you tell me where Mr. Jim is? Is he dead? How did he die? Why doesn't anyone tell me what's going on? Is it because I'm a kid? If you had eyes, would you be giving me that look everyone always gives me? Why do they give me that look? Is that because I'm a kid, too? Kids can do stuff, too, you know. Look at that kid from the one musical...um...the French one. What was he called?"
>Yes, maybe,He's on mission, he didn't, probably exhaustion, that too, Probably, see answer before last, Sure,Gee I dunno Oliver Twist?


Subtle advertising as ever, GWG.

Run into nearby house, Kinetic Manipulator-Punch anyone who gets in my way. Find attractive young busty lass and hold her at gun point.

"YOU'RE COMING WITH BIG MOMMA TONIGHT."

You gun down the man standing at the door of the nearest house and barge your way in, idly hurling his wife out of the way as you head upstairs. Cowering in the upstairs bedroom is an attractive girl in a night gown.  She looks to be around 16-18.  You scream something in japanese and make sailor moon poses before firing wildly into the ceiling.

"I suppose we could try to misdirect whoever is targeting us, however, regardless of what we do, that would still draw them close to us, I guess the trick is to put them at a significant disadvantage, as for reaching our teammate, I have no ideas at present"
Charles tries to think up of how to set up the area to misdirect or scare away anyone who may be pursuing them.

Well...feyri getting shot is probably a good way to direct attention away from you and Lyra. Question is if you capitalize on it or not.

"Thanks..."
Sit down. Take pill. Read brochure.

You swallow the asprin with another glass of booze and flip through the pamphlet. It's not what you expected. In fact it tells you that alcoholism is a perfectly reasonable reaction to HMRC service and recommends several ways to drink more effectively.

"Oh....I'm not sure how I should feel about this."

"Huh. Seems like a therapist would be pretty handy for a sentient computer, more than a mechanic, at least. Do people generally treat you like a machine or a person? I mean, people like these mechanic fellows. Or any superiors and overseers on the ship, I dunno. You certainly seem to have a full-on personality on you, and you do experience emotions and so forth."

"Wait, what brains were you made of? Do you know?"
