well, since there’s nothing better to do, I’ll keep an eye out for trouble.

"There are to many damn plants in this damned sector!"
Go find a fire extinguisher to protect myself from the inevitable fire that's going to start, also see if there is some kind of first aid kit around here some where.

"Maybe the demonic possession was because of the slipped disc! Your chakras are all misaligned, man! Letting in bad vibes!"

EEED ponders this quandary for a bit, then decides to do some helping, as the only person vaguely resembling a janitor on the team at present.

Use my Arc Scraper to clear debris and stubborn plants off the door out of here. Unless someone smarter than me tells me I could cause an explosion or something by doing so, in which case I shall simply switch to my automop, which is probably rated to handle plants. Maybe.

Edward steps on some plants. They react in the way plants normally do when stepped on: the get squashed to some degree.

"YOU ARE WEAK, PLANTS! WEAK! I AM THE DOMINANT LIFE FORM! I HAVE THUMBS! WHAT DO YOU HAVE?! WHAT DO YOU HAVE?!"

Burt, using his common sense ( a very rare super power)  goes off to find a med kit and fire extinguisher. He finds a fire extinguisher but  the tank has been ruptured by the plants and the goo within has sprayed out already.

EEED uses his arc scraper to burn away the plants on the door, leaving it sparkling new.


Take a look at those bags, is it the right type of fertilizer to create an explosive with? If yes, anything in this sector that could be used for the fuel part? And anything that could be repurposed/tinkered into a detonator?

Slice open the door to the next sector if necessary, but be careful not to disturb or torch any of the strange plants.
EDIT: and maybe tell that new guy not to use his high powered cleaning apparatus on the door and maybe turn the plants against us!


Spoiler: Yagyu d'Aubigny (click to show/hide)
Yagyu looks at the fertilizer. [2] Hmmm He's not really sure if its the explodey kind.

Check the computers to find out where they stored all their super weed! Also look at what else they were experimenting with here, I guess.

Oh, also, what's the stat/skill for turning all that nitrogen into bombs? Mechanic? Explosive? Knowledge? Assuming it's possible to do so, of course.


I am a man spider of simple pleasures: all I need is drugs and high explosives.



[9] Pathos wanders over to the lab computers and checks them. A lot of them are down; the plants have grown inside them and there's fungi eating through their circuits. He does manage to find one thats still functional and check it over.  Sadly he can find nothing about weed - he lacks the physical structures to do anything with it even if he had it anyways - but he does find out that the plants they were experimenting with here were designed, rather obviously, to use inorganic substances as their "food" instead of the normal soil and such. He finds two possible "profit paths" one  being the use of these plants in disposal of trash and the other being military applications. The files warn about exposing "Organically impaired research associates" to any plant matter, but specifically to the fungal variety due to its ability to "Deposit spores within their electronic systems and effectively devour their 'brains'".

"Demonic possession? Man, for a souless product made by some Omnitech ripoff you sure are a funny guy. Me? Possesed? Is it because of the eyes because that's like, really really racist of you good sir." Larry says before literally slipping through EEED's fingers like pizza dough escaping from their natural predator, the Italian. He also noticed there' another door. Neat.

Punch door with mind ghost magic man again. Maybe Larry should a taken a course in door breaking instead of plane eating in normal human college since he's so good at it.

[10]

Larry uses his big white friend to punch the door to the next section open. He perhaps uses a bit too much force because the door doesn't simply open, it tears completely free of its housing and skips down the hall like a stone, bouncing around the corner and continuing on. A few seconds later the sector suddenly drops into darkness before reilluminating with red emergency lights

"Warning. Subject breach. Warning. Subject Breach" Plays over the Pa system.

Tell me friend computer, how can I tell if I have been infected and how do I cleanse myself from this foul infection? Is it heat? Cold? Poison? Do they have any weed killer lying around? If so, acquire said weed killer.

Also, move on to the next session, because I sure as hell am not staying here longer than I have to.

Evil plants? That sounds gnarly. Good thing Larry is 555% human and organic and 111% mysterious colors unlike any seen on Earth. Anyway into the next sector!

Move into the next sector quickly before the spores catch me oh god.

Not too far though, keep some distance from whatever 'subject' just escaped. Get into cover and wait a bit in case it comes to us, goop it to the floor if it does.

EDIT: if there is time/opportunity, help people with crafting/devising their sensory deprivation measures. The late Bob had a sensory deprivation suit in his inventory, could I give that to one of them? I also have 2 sets of text-to-speech earbuds to hand out, and some blindfolds and earplugs and whatnot.


"We are entering sector D lads, and our target was last sighted in sector B, the one after this. So stay sharp and check your sensory deprivation measures, we could run into him at any moment now. I'm not sure if the current warning is for him or something else, but whatever it is, I doubt it's here to bring us cupcakes and lemonade."

I have been wearing the germ suit, right? In any case, I'll put it on if I’m not already wearing it, and get into the next sector. Have my tranquilizer syringe ready to inject the target of I see him

Head on over to the next sector with the rest of the group and be sure to grab interesting loot on the way.

Should I?

"Yes, absolutely. Our target can mind control people if they perceive him, be it by sight, sound, smell, touch, anything. If you do not have appropriate countermeasures, you are liable to become a threat to everyone here."

"Okay. Hmm.... do you know if it works through screens?"

"Yes it does, but since static images are safe, as long as the framerate of the video is low enough it should be safe. Also things like motion tracking data are safe. Most robopeople have reduced our refresh rate and have a speech to text to speech plugin thanks to our benevolent computer wizards. Some of the fleshies have a sensory deprivation suit designed to handle our target. The others... just make due I suppose."

((Note: while you joined a bit later into the mission, I think IC'ly your character was there during the mission briefing, which you can find here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=173094.msg8073381#msg8073381

It has some info on the extent of our target's capabilities and limitations, and some of the questions we asked after that shed further light. So have a look if you feel like it!

Also note that pw has asked us to include a list of how our senses are dampened or not in our charsheet. For Yagyu for example it looks like this:
Sight: reduced refresh rate
Smell: no smell
Hearing: text to speech
Taste: no taste (hah!)
Touch: no touch beyond what's needed to stay upright I suppose

For the new players it might be good to add this to your sheet if you haven't already. That way our glorious calcium overlord knows who to fuck with all the better~))
