So B and A you pick,
And so we let it stick.


“Listen, Eddie,” says Quill. “This is very important and secret information. It absolutely can’t get out, and a lot of people are going to get hurt if it does. If you leak this, the only possible punishment for your crimes is death. The best thing for you to do would be to put this headset down, don’t talk to anyone, and forget you ever heard this.”

“Uh… yes, Quill,” says Eddie. There is a click, and he’s silent.


But as I’ve said, that is not now,
So this digression takes a bow.

This problem will some time persist,
And so we add it to the list:

In war and strife to rolls add one,
But two to science makes it done.

Of things to know a plus-one add,
But things to say, a minus sad.

When for invention roll a die-

Okay, stop.

…

Stats list check:

• +1 military
• +2 scientific
• +1 informational
• -1 political
• BONUS: Scientific designs get one die automatically 4
• BONUS: D7s are rolled on anything relating to Wenton Celling
• Fingerprint scanners on military base doors
• Uplifted dogs
• Lobotomized child soldiers called “Cherubs”
• Plans for a shield against Andantesite wormhole disruption, although power-intensive and requiring a lot of Andantesite
• Large, cracked Andantesite shard, ready to link
• Radio-frequency Andantesite disruptor - 14.03 hour working time
• Loading of wormhole onto SFN Pylos planned, to follow Magellan back home
• Hammerspace parrot
• Venomous implants for dogs
• Hammerspace disruption masers

Plot points to be resolved:

• T. Levin inspecting Tommy DeMarco’s memory removal, then leaving for America
• Interrogating captured rebels
• Order of the Stick
• Padelheb’s remaining supporters
• Wherever the hell David Eborrenial went
• Eddie Nichols, an intern, knows bits and bobs about a “fourth wall”. A team has been sent to watch him.

As a reminder, we’re still communicating to Fallacy on the ship.

You can:

A: Continue talking to him.
B: Let him go.
C: Sink the ship.

[Tyrant Leviathan]

Can I do memory thing as a retroactive time scene? As I do want to make up to the kid so he can be normal.

As for Fallacy.

B. Let him go. He just wants to do mad science. He is too incompetent to keep talk going, and sinking him could give him a excuse to go rogue or dick move. (!Then again can see him in South America declaring himself a God Emperor to be dealt with anyway, but benefit of doubt it will not happen.)

[FallacyofUrist]

Fallas speaks over the radio.

"Now that that's done, can we get back to business?"

[Glass]

“Yes. Have I mentioned yet that if you return to Antarctica, you can test your equipment on people who’ve died in hospitals? I believe I have, but I’d just like to make sure.
There’s no reason to go off to South America because of something that you don’t even actually know will happen.”

^- Glass. The voice of reason.

[Rockeater]

Why you two idiots are still talking IC, both characters are fourth wall aware, so you don't need a damn radio.

[FallacyofUrist]

"You know, those are both very good points. How stupid of me. Bleh. Thanks for coming all this way to give me the idea. I do appreciate it."

Riiiiiight. The expedition was completely unnecessary. Back to Antarctica!

[blueturtle1134]

Alright, retconned!

We’re going back to the RTD right after this post, except Fallas does not arrive. To recap, we’re in the rubble of a room of a telegraph rebroadcasting station. The Secondborn’s just been (presumably) exorcized from David Eborrenial using the Key of Taloc. Anna was knocked out from using the Key and was shot in the chest by Iridium, who’s escaped through the hole in the wall. David/Secondborn teleported in front of him, trying to stop him, but he escaped. Jacob Eldin and KJP are on the floor, fighting over the Key, but have been detained.


“ANNA!” screams Jacob. He makes a lunge for the Key core stone, mere inches away from his fingers, but just gets his head shoved into the ground by Fansworth’s boot. “I think I said nobody gets the Key,” says Fansworth, digging the barrel of his gun further into Jacob’s neck.

Celling, still reeling at Iridium’s sudden escape and David’s use of Cisharni powers, is taken totally aback when his radio chirps up. Sorry about that. Didn't properly check where we were retconning to. The Mittani is DEAD. Consider this a simple notification of where we're retconning to

[Madman198237]

"Don't try it or I will shoot. We're quite done with the eldritch mind-games now. This means you too, Secondwind, why don't you just sit down before you get shot into many, many, many tiny pieces."

If Jacob tries for the Key again, end this. One bullet, one neck, no hesitation, one lovely rolled-at-advantage trigger pull. Call over a medic to check Anna's condition and attempt resuscitation if viable.

"Corporal Alders, check that casualty." (Naming mooks and trying to save injured enemies once the fight's over. It's the responsible thing to do, you know? Almost like we're the opposite of war criminals or something [darn you Tyrant and your war crimes])

[blueturtle1134]

He's kinda gone for it, but yeah. Post what you do.

Willpower is conserved from earlier. The parrot is sitting and doing nothing in Andes High Command.

Willpower count
KJP: 4
Glass: 4
Madman: 5
Rockeater: 15
Fallacy: 8

Someone entering now will enter with 15 willpower
PM me if you want the parrot

[Madman198237]

No pathetically slow GM can stop me!

[blueturtle1134]

No pathetically slow GM can stop me!

That is the general theme of the game, yes.

[Glass]

Shoot Iridium in the foot, punch the Secondborn in the face, and if Iridium hasn’t stopped yet, pursue.

Additionally, query: if we retconned to the linked post, I believe that everyone except Madman has 11 willpower.

Willpower did not reset. The parrot is fourth-wall capable, so its mental state is preserved. It's really confused now, though.

Also, pick one of those three actions to do.

[Glass]

Fine then.

Shoot Iridium and the Secondborn in quick succession. Both in nonlethal but painful locations.
