Fight to the death!
If possible me and my select few will try to escape, if it is easier to escape alone I will do that.
If only SOME PEOPLE didn't give the FBI sooo many bonuses. I am look at you other scientists.

In the early stage, the battle is about evenly matched, but they inflict solid blows and the damage you deal is not that great. Your clones are on their last legs, and the only reason you’ve escaped significant damage is all your organs.
Well.. Use that pone number I got when that guy showed up to see if he knows any suitable A.I. Programmers.
Add the Sensory Suite to the Nano-Pillbugs.
Begin Basic Work on a new BREAKTHRU-IN-SCIENCE.(Portals using the Sub-space to transport objects, like say, from here to a moon base?)
You call the number, but it doesn’t respond. Strange.
(sensory) [1d6+skill bonus +skill bonus(machine) = 1+1+1 = 3] You add a rudimentary sensory suite.
(portals) [1d6+1 +skill bonus(machine) = 1+1+1 = 3] It is definitely basic work. Extremely basic.
Ask Erin if he can help me teleport stuff to the pyramid, meanwhile keep looking for nano robotics/automation scientists
You ask Erin if he can help you teleport stuff to the pyramid. He replies that he’s working on it and to let him know what you need teleported. You reply that you want a rocket and yourself teleported to the place in Egypt that things were happening in.
[1d6 = 3] You find a scientific paper by a Pen(Dr. Anamolate), who seems to work with nanobots, but it doesn’t include any contact information.
Where are the leyline clumps?
Let Bonson know I’m working on that; let me know what you need teleported and I think I should be able to get it teleported soon.
Try making more wands of turn undead.
(This list of actions may be subject to additions. This is likely not the final product.)
There’s one or two leyline clumps on every continent.
Bonson asks you if you can help him teleport stuff to the pyramid. You reply that you’re working on it and to let you know what you need teleported. He replies that he wants a rocket and himself teleported to the place in Egypt that things were happening in.
(wands) [1d6+skill bonus = 4+1 = 5] You create a dozen more or so anti-undead wands.
"Come assistant 1 is time to finalize your training"
assistant 2 will keep searching for a way to create dark types.
Professor Oak will finalize the training of assistant 1 so it has the same Specialty of genetics.
(dark) [1d6 = 2] He doesn’t find anything else.
(teaching) [1d6+skill bonus = 2+1 = 3]
(learning) [1d6 = 4]
One of your assistants completes his training, and will no longer cause explosions. By accident.
Message Erin Quill that the offer is appreciated, but so far there's nothing that I desperately need.
Go interface with Bastet and ask them what the next step of its evolution should be, in terms of any necessary upgrades and what direction those upgrades should take. The hardware is much improved, but that's only a building block to my creation's end goal.
Further improval of hardware will be unsustainable without a dedicated manufacturing base. In order to bootstrap that manufacturing base, the use will be required of either nanobots or magic.
My lord, eh, lords, well, you both are avatars of Nyarlothothep , anyway, we are being attacked, and, by sound of it, well, there are two dozen military cargo planes above us willing to bring end to your reign... Its probably time to unleash your power upon heathens and foolish dogs
Tzi Rekh Kabandh Nahizlet, now you shall serve dark pharaoh damn dogs
Use incantation of broken will to dominate goddamn dogs and force them go after the planes
I would humbly ask you, your dark majesty, to make giant emp blast to ruin all the electronics in planes coming after us and to dominate the simple minds of dogs into your service
”WHAT ARE PLANES-” “YOU NEED TO GET BACK TO THE PAST-” “-I WANT A PLANE-” “-ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING-” “-IT WILL BE MY THRONE-” “-THE HOUNDS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE A PLAN-”(1d6 +2(eldritchness) = 1+2 = 3) vs (1d6 +3(eldritchness) +3(numbers) = 6+3+3 = 12)
A yellow cloud streaks toward the dogs… but a hound leaps up, somehow catches the cloud in its teeth, and throws it at the Pharaoh of the past. It collides with him, and, by some freak twist of fate, his eyes dull and his movements become sluggish...
Which is all the time that the Hounds of Tindalos need to shove him through a newly opened portal to the past, which closes behind him.
You know, I’m getting new memories that suggest that my past docility was the only reason I didn’t take over the world. And after that display, I’m not taking direct action against them. At any rate, canAnd then rifle fire opens up everywhere.
Paratroopers vs. undead
(1d6 +2(accuracy) +3(weapons) +4(numbers) = 5+2+3+4 = 14) vs (1d6 +3(numbers) +1(eldritchness) = 2+3+1 = 6)
Paratroopers vs. Hounds of Tindalos
(1d6 +2(accuracy) +3(weapons) +4(numbers) = 1+2+3+4 = 10) vs (1d6 +3(numbers) +3(eldritchness) = 4+3+3 = 10)
Paratroopers vs. Pharaoh
(1d6 +2(accuracy) +3(weapons) +4(numbers) = 6+2+3+4 = 15) vs (1d6 +5(eldritchness) +3(intrigue) = 1+5+3 =
The undead are slain almost instantly, the Hounds of Tindalos shrink back from the rifle fire, and even the Dark Pharaoh totters backwards unsteadily.
Screw you too,RNGeesus
Use my skills in quantum mechanics to build a fusion reactor utilizing muons created by a desktop particle accelerator,which works by replacing electrons in the hydrogen gas with muons,causing the nuclei to fuse at low temperatures.
Real thing. Would probably work too.
See about the auction for the statue thing,WITHOUT logging in.
[1d6+skill bonus = 2+1 = 3] Due to parts for fusion reactors not really being publically available, your mock-up doesn’t really work.
The statue thing has attracted a fair amount of attention, but the price hasn’t been driven that high.
"Damn it deer, your really trying Bob's patience."
Make a chemical to make animals more willing to learn things.
[1d6+skill bonus = 2+1 = 3] You create a chemical that sort of does that. The deer is still being annoying.
