Excellent feed bulbasaur then investigate if there are scientists specialized in either moving trough dimensions (Ghost types), physics powers (Physic types), improving animals/creating monsters or magic (fairy types)and how hard would be contacting then
You have fed Bulbasaur.
[1d6 = 1] Subtlety is not your strong suit. After you ask a nearby team of two officers whether they know of any scientists fitting the description you provide, they look strangely at you, then surprised, then unamused. “Sir, I’m afraid I’m going to have to take you into custody for questioning regarding some recent robberies.”
What do you do?Try and develop a communication interface within the computer housing my AI, allowing me to directly interact with it. Try and show it the best highlights of baseball so that it gets a more positive view of the sport.
(communication) [1d6 = 2] Unfortunately, you can’t seem to figure out something that doesn’t mess directly with the AI which would subsequently cause the priority system to malfunction.
(AI and baseball) [1d6 = 4] Fortunately for baseball fans everywhere, the AI changes its view on baseball on its own, now being neutral on the subject.
"You stupid clones! Daylight robberies, really! Start building the next 2 vats."
My clones will build the next 2 vats. I will see if I can find someone who is willing to give me a break maybe a fellow scientist. Remind my clones that all future stealings are to happen at night and if they are caught they are to lead the police on a wild goose chase.
You never answered my question: how long is each turn? Also do we know about each other, the scientist I mean. If I die can I come back as someone else, or one of my clones.
(vats) [1d6 = 4] After a great deal of manual labor, the two new cloning vats hum softly, ready to be activated.
(you) [1d6 = 4] [1d8 = 4 = Shadowclaw777 = Allam Aarant] After perusing recent scientific journals, you discover the location of one Allam Arrant’s laboratory.
(police investigation) [1d6 = 3] They’ve concluded that there was likely some sort of bioengineer involved, but have been distracted from you by some guy in a lab coat asking if they knew where there were any fellow scientists that could help him with creating animals.
Right. Now that I know what I am looking for, use it and more MRI scans to try and create a system for detecting inactive psy-capable individuals. While I am at it, try to study and refine the conditioning process to narrow down exactly what parts are absolutely vital to it.
(detection) [1d6+skill bonus+1 (know what you’re looking for) = 1+1+1 = 3] Unfortunately, while you personally can identify the inactive psy-capable, the differences are too complex to be automated.
(conditioning) [1d6+1+skill bonus = 3+1+1 = 5] You have managed to significantly trim down the pst-conditioning process, good if you want to activate people quickly.
At this point just command the dog-rat to collect useful resources at a nearby city dump and place it near my lab. The next test is to make me a super soldier of course, through the creation of a genetic serum made of bio-synthetic materials and the application of gamma ray bombardment than the creation of the next level of humans will occur, of course I will be the first subject of the serum since I want the benefits of beings a super-soldier (improved strength, speed, etc)
(dog-rat) [1d6 = 3] The dog-rat manages to get a few useful resources, but the lack of opposable thumbs prevents it from getting anything special.
(serum design) [1d6+1+skill bonus = 6+1-1 = 6] In retrospect, you really shouldn’t have overclocked the gamma ray cannon. Your green skin and extraordinary height are proof enough of that. On the other hand, you are noticeably stronger and tougher.
Lead archeological expedition to pyramid!
[1d6+skill bonus = 3+1 = 4] After gathering fellow archeologists, you take a plane to Egypt and the mysterious pyramid. Now, you stand outside it, holding a torch in the air.
Nice! Let's try something more complicated now.
Shift some of the silver wires around - not much, it's not a terribly different design - such that the circle will now summon a bronze longsword with one fiftieth of the volume of the cube. Take as much care this time as I did when setting up and checking the original pentacle setup.
(I did not really think about how heavy a cubic foot of bronze is. I suspect that what I did here could very well have been a 6 if I was just trying to summon up some bronze. :p)
[1d6+1+skill bonus = 2+1+1 = 4] Fun fact: 10 pounds is significantly heavier than the average longsword, and a sword using that much metal must therefore be correspondingly bigger. As in, seven-foot long bigger. Once again, Google turns your fours into sixes. So, you now have a seven-foot longsword made completely out of bronze.
Nothing exploded yet so it's the perfect time to tempt fate and work with rocket fuel more
Design a fully automated facility to manufacture this rocket fuel in space.
[1d6 = 1] Sadly, this rocket fuel is as complex as it is useful, requiring your personal attention for every batch made.
Keep working on the rats English, and get there opinions on me and the world around them.
(English) [1d6+1 = 3+1 = 4] After some more effort, you manage to give them a solid grip on the English language.
(disposition towards you) [1d6+1 = 5+1 = 6] You ask them what their opinion of you is. A rat (apparently the ringleader) scurries closer towards you and begins to speak. “As our uplifter, we owe you a great debt. We must repay it by protecting you from the world and its evils.”
(disposition towards the world) [1d6 = 1] You hesitantly inquire what he means by that last statement. He lifts a front paw and sweeps it from side to side in what is supposed to be a dramatic gesture but is tempered by your relative sizes. “Do you not know? Hundreds, even thousands, of rats are being held against their will in laboratories like this all over the world. In the wild, we are misunderstood and mistreated. It is not just rats that suffer this fate, but all other animals as well, and not even man is safe from itself with endless wars and bloodshed. We must prevent this from happening to you however we can in the short term, and overthrow the way of life that gives rise to this in the long term.”
