[Devastator]

Hmm.. I think they'll block me, or summon an ambush, or do something to hinder this.  I should get away.

Try to get away by increasing speed and looking for obscuring terrain, such as stands of trees or even just very tall grass.  Go quickly, and if it gets down to one or two drones with eyes on me, shoot then down and try to lose the rest.

If I do lose them, change to mission one and head to Bungay, in case there's an ambush set ahead of me.  It should be closer than Lowestof was, but in a different direction.

If I don't lose them, keep heading for Lowestof, and only shoot one or two drones.. enough to require them to send in reinforcements, but not enough to exterminate all of them.

[Beirus]

"I am. Name's Theodore, and this is Timmy." Theodore gestured to his friend. "We aren't with any side, though. Prefer to stay independent. And what about yourself? What brings you out in this weather?"

[Glass]

"Fair enough. I'm with Walt Labs - we could probably help you out, but it's your choice. I was friends with some of their ranking members even before cryo, and got on good terms with the Keep after the defrost, so I set up some diplomatic channels between them. As for why I'm out here, couple of reasons, mainly that I'm trying to get to Ipswich. The Church knows how to jam the signals the Uploxxed use, and the GML's edging in on the region we've tried to fortify. If they'll share the technology, we could make this entire region much safer. Though I'm still not sure why the uploxxed seem to hate living people so much."

[Beirus]

"Hate us? I doubt they hate us, unless something changed. We're kudos to them. I ran into a few Uploxxed, from thr Greater Marmite League and a group called Legends a while after being defrosted. Fought two of them, they said something about killing us for the kudos. And the one I got a battery for paid me in kudos. I think it's some sort of point system. But I don't think they see us as more than future accolades they can brag about to the rest of their group."

[Glass]

“Hmn. Still doesn’t explain why they’re so willing to kill us, though. After all, from what I’ve heard, they were all human, too, once. How can they just so casually decide that it’s ok to kill the people who are still alive?”

Dereham outskirts -> Fakenham

with two of the three distracted, now seemed like the best time to run.  P4 would definitely have to do maintenance after this, but he needed to attend the meeting, and could not afford to delay any longer.

[P4 rolled 4+4+2body-1unbalanced+-1shaken=8]
P4 shoves passed the three women and leaps over fallen branch, scrambling away at speed. Half a mile away he slows and assesses the damage. Besides the cracked camera, it's mostly just cosmetic: on of his sides is bent inwards from the repeated blows. It won't hinder him much, but it does provide a weak spot.

After an hour of running he arrives at last in Fakenham. Underneath a huge antenna tower a great circus tent has been erected. Padding inside, he can see the tent is full of cyberbeasts of all sorts. Dogs are the majority, but then there are lions, weasels, bears, even a cybergiraffe.

As he enters the threshold, P4 is invited into the chat gallery in Nexus. Chat is ongoing through nine senses (including some of the deluxe Nexus-only senses), dominated by text and audio. Nexus is awash with the bustle of avatars.

Karrion_Kidd: and you're cam, hot hell you look rough !!
DATABOI: I JUST GOT GANKED

DATABOI shares a shaky picture at some distance of a humanoid shadowy figure in the woods.


GuzmanTheGuzzler: But the craftmanship! The HT-85i was rushed out.
memeticat: dam dude u just got that badger
GuzmanTheGuzzler: It can't be overclocked in the same way.
StaggerLee has joined GML Circus Chat.


A stag, with majestic razor sharp antlers strides into the big tent. bone shards stick out of the pallid flesh of its legs. In the veridical world of the tent, he bellows out in a powerful voice for all the morphs to hear. The chat goes almost silent (Guzman and Lucy keep bickering about components).

"We are hear to unveil the next phase of the Greater Marmite League Grand Strategy!" StaggerLee booms. "But before we begin, does anyone here have anything important to report?"

In chat DATABOI tries to call attention to his recent assassination, but most of the others pay him little attention.


P4 is no longer shaken and unbalanced. P4 gains condition: battered side.


Dereham outskirts

Head towards Dereham

Sandra starts on the road to Dereham. On the way she comes across a roadblock: a fallen tree across the road. On the tree is small birdcage in which a magpie hops back and forth. Two human fingers lie on the ground. Many of the weeds that poke through the asphalt have been flattened.

Personal Quests
1 - Harden physical form against radio jamming - Part 1  - Catching the Oystercatcher Watcher
The kind of broad-spectrum radio jamming that the Church use has thus far eluded the Uploxed of East Anglia. Jägermörder has learned through nexus that an uploxed signal engineer who specialised in this kind of technology is birdwatching in the Alde Mudflats right now. She might be persuaded to help develop hardening against jamming.

2 - Make shadow tech more reliable - Part 1 - Quantum Interpretation
Some people say the uploxing was a botched singularity, and that the people of Earth put their minds into machines before they could develop real runaway AI. But it's indisputable that in the final years of Earth civilisation, there were immense leaps in technical capability, and experimental applications of new dimensional technology began to proliferate before being abandoned as their creators uploxed into a digital paradise. Jager has heard a rumour that the Postwick Mob are now dealing in dangerous prototypes- perhaps they have something that could improve the shadow step? They have an agent called Murdok in the neutral town of Watton.

Reward: x1 tallies
3 - Terminate members of the Church of Milennium - Part 1 - Bash the Bishop
Hacked communications show that a church delegate is coming from London way to Ipswich. This would be a great opportunity to hit the Church without needing to get into their jamming zone.

”THREAT ASSESSED AND SHALL BE TERMINATED”

Jäger shall gets its sniper rifle out, look for a decent position on which it can land a shot and be away from the visionary range of the cyber badger, land a hunting shot to the video-camera head by aiming the scope, pull the trigger, the rifle is semiauto so if the badger keeps trying to move, pull consecutive shots center mass

[Jäger rolled 4+2+0wits=6]
[Jäger rolled 2+2+2body+1gun=7]
[Jäger rolled 6+3+2body+1gun-1cover=11]
Jäger gets into position in a spot where he thinks hes unobserved. But the sensors on DATABOI must have been top notch. The camera swivels towards him... was he spotted? Without wasting any time, the assassin shoots out the camera. The badger tries to scurry away into cover but Jäger unloads a clip into the centre of its mass. The body starts melting in on itself wrecking all of the components, autogun included.

The rest of the guard duty is uneventful. Natrix is pleased about the elimination of a GML threat and no more is said about the torn blimp.

Rewilding has been completed.

Jäger gains +2 tallies, +1 kudos, +1eyes rep


Road -> Watton

Issac gets in the car and instructs the driver to start driving towards Watton. Issac then moves to confiscate the flamethrower. Then moves to put the jacket back on.

Issac then says "And if you have any food, bring it to Gerry here."

[Isaac rolled 3+3+1body=7]
Gerry starts chewing on some dried fruit bits as Isaac dresses and gets the driver to take him to Watton. He snatches the flamethrower from the back to give himself extra leverage, but as he does he bangs the nozzle, bending it slightly.

The drive is awkward and the others keep trying to ask him for something more concrete about Gerry's condition. It doesn't take long to arrive in Watton. Scrap corrugated iron shacks fill the walled town. The sound of activity throngs. Armed morphs patrol the rooftops, looking to break up any fighting. All kinds of robots, cyberbeasts and even some humans can be found here. As the jeep pulls up, a squat drone with a television body looks at him, the voxelated avatar on the screen rubbing his animated chin.

The driver says, "So what about the cure then? We're here." Isaac realises that even if he could fix the man, the mob aren't going to be happy with him once these three report back.


Isaac gains bent makeshift-flamethrower.


The Broads

Pull out the Tortleing gun, and give a look to the tortles trying to trip me saying "very funny, there is something more important to do". Pet the tortle riding me, and try to coax the other Tortles to coming with me back to the shack.

Mark down the area as "Tortle Swamp"

[Auze rolled 3+1+2empathy+1tortlegun=7]
Auze begins the process of getting the Tortles on side. He manages to befriend the green one on his back and the cerulean and magnolia tortles that had planned to trip him, but the others disappear into the trees and mud. The mutant reptiles were bred for a certain amount of pliability, especially in the face of one with the authority of a tortling gun. He brings the three back to his family shack where his family are duly impressed by his haul.

"We'll make a tortler out of you in no time," says his father.

The mischievous tortles start plotting havoc. Having got the tortles, Auze still needs to train them...

Auze gains +3 tallies.


Scole

Counter her question with questions of my own! If she doesn't seem like she's about to immediately attack in response, try to carefully pull myself back up onto a branch. If that seems too risky, just hang out for now. Try to act cool. There's nothing strange going on here, nope...   

[Ben rolls 4+2+0empathy=6]
[Ben rolls 5+3+2body-1upsidedown=9]
The woman ignores him and gets back on her motorbike and starts riding off, perhaps to find a river crossing. Ben tries to pull himself up, but the branch snaps. Luckily he manages to swing down onto the ground, but in doing so he bruises his knee. He can still hear the motorbike engine rumble nearby.

Ben gains condition knee bruise.


Bungay

Who said there was no such thing as a free ride? To Bungay! By truck!

Darrin gives a nod in greeting to the new passenger, and waves his left - burning - hand.

The Keep truck rumbles on through the poor weather with Darrin, Timmy and Theodore chatting together. Eventually they arrive at Bungay. Once barely more than a village, now it's a heavily fortified base. Some strange power has allowed them to erect massive unnatural obsidian walls in a square mile around the town. They pass through two sets of gates, guarded by men and women and other tentacled things.

Blakely pays Darrin with a ski mask and sets to work unloading his truck. Within the complex, it's a small English town with timbered buildings, parks and churches, frozen in time. The newcomers can see a large automobile garage, several houses knocked together to make a HQ (as shown by a banner hanging from it, saying 'HQ'), and a newly built observatory squatting on an obsidian tower in the centre of the town.

Keep Caravan Guard is complete.

Darrin gains: +2 tallies, a ski mask.


Empire Forge

(Am I both tired and sorrowful or has sorrowful replaced tired?)

Yes, both.

"A candle's better than nothing, still don't get used to seeing dead people, especially dead kids."
Start looking around the outside of the workshop and pushing on the walls to see how stable the structure is, then make sure my gun is loaded and see how many bullets are in the box I have.

[Burt rolled 6+1+1body-1tired=7]
Burt starts pushing at the structure. On the bright side it doesn't fall on him, but it does fall. He jumps out the way as the shed walls collapse in, leaving a huge piles of rotten wood and brick to pick over. There are 15 bullets remaining in the box of bullets. He looks around at the trees about him, as if there are are eyes watching him. Hopefully he won't need the bullets...


Lowestoft Outskirts

Try to get away by increasing speed and looking for obscuring terrain, such as stands of trees or even just very tall grass.  Go quickly, and if it gets down to one or two drones with eyes on me, shoot then down and try to lose the rest.

If I don't lose them, keep heading for Lowestof, and only shoot one or two drones.. enough to require them to send in reinforcements, but not enough to exterminate all of them.

[Sandeep rolled 2+1+3body=6]
[Sandeep rolled 5+3+3body+1laser=12]
Sandeep tries to sprint away but as he darts for cover he slips on a branch and all the drones swarm in closer. He spins around and shoots two of the drones with his laser. They instantly fritz and the distributed consciousness drops two of their bodies to protect the rest of their mind. The rest hover up much higher, and spread out, as Sandeep makes his way to Lowestoft.

On the outskirts of the town he arrives at an overgrown industrial estate. There doesn't seem like anyone around so he breaks into a warehouse named SECURICORE. Inside, in the dim light from a murky skylight, Sandeep can see roll-upon-roll of razorwire, much more than he could carry. But he reckons he could haul one rubber-lined roll out. Above the skylight, the shadow of a drone passes overhead.

Buff the Base is complete.

He talks to a few of them and gets the impression thatwhile big plans are afoot, a lot of the people that have the plans, including their boss Ray, are currently away or indisposed. The people there don't know him or what he's capable of, so there's only so far his inquiries can go. He's pointed in the direction of the recruitment office if he wants to sign up as a foot-soldier, and someone mentions offhand that perhaps Sriracha at the garage could do with a hand with his current project.

[auzewasright]

A haul of 3 tortles... pretty good for a day’s work.

Train the tortles to obey basic commands such as [in Spanish] “go!”, “stop!”, “follow me!”, “attack!”, “release!”, and [in English] “Oh dear goodness get away from that!”. Teach them to focus their mischievous nature on my enemies.

Spoiler: Auze (click to show/hide)

Name: Auze
Appearance: Slightly on the tall side, brown hair, male.
Profession: Engineer, seeks to become a Tortle trainer
Faction: Unaligned Saviour
Type: Human

Den: In the area South-west of the broads, a shack with gathered equipment and books salvaged from the plane.
Conditions:
Luck: 3
Kudos: 0
Rep: +0walt +0london +0mob +0keep -1church -1gml -1legends +0terra -1eyes +0pirates
Tallies: 3

Signature Gear: Tortleing gun, combining old weaponry with new electronics, it is capable of shooting someone, bashing someone's head in, and receiving and decryption radio signals... so long as the encryption is Morse code. It is not very good at bashing someone's head in unless you get the add-on whip... which Auze didn't.

Saviour: Auze is the guide and leader of the once-prestigious-but-now-banned-from-Ecuador-for-life Carolinian-Galapagosian Hallockes de Pinta family. His fellow relatives are:
Father, Auze Sr: An experienced tortle trainer who was fairly powerful in the Galapagos, and has fought off some monsters in his day. Preferred weapon: scourge followed with a dagger
Brother, Josh: Much more into weaponry than the Engineering-minded Auze. Is stronger, and likes the idea of revenge against the non-humans. A good tortle trainer himself.
Sister, Layla: Good with people, she likes to convince others to do something with charisma. The reason the family got banned from the Galapagos for life.
Cousin, Carol: The less said 'bout 'im, the better. There are only 3 extra members in the family.

Personal Quests:
1 - Establish a population of trained attack tortles - Part 1 - Tortle capture
The bad news is, tortles aren't normally native to the Broads; the good news is your family stuffed half the plane full of them; the worse news is that this is mostly why the plane crashed here and all the surviving tortles escaped into this interminable marshland. Time to catch some!
Reward: 1 tally per tortle caught
Location: deep in the Broads
2 - Restore humanity to its former glory and kick out mutants and uploxed - Part 1 - Alliance
It'll be tough to fight against killer robots and rampaging mutants just as a family. Perhaps human allies in the fight could be found? The Land Pirates are most militant about getting rid of the mutants, while the Keep fight a good fight against the uploxed. The Postwick Mob are a bit more ambivalent, but their base is closest to your home.
Location: Norwich outskirts, or Norwich Castle, or Postwick
Reward: +2 tallies, possibility of +1 faction rep
3 - Secure the future of the Hallocks de Piñta dynasty - Part 1 - Meeting People
You could be cut down at any moment: you need to create a new generation of tortlers. That means meeting other humans... either a nice Señorita, or a lost child that could be adopted. There are plenty of humans at the Keep...
Location: Norwich Castle

Family Quest
* - O Brother!
Josh claims that a harpy flew off with his favorite sword. He says he thinks its hiding out in a boathouse on the river. If you help him get his sword back, he says he'll finally get around to adding the whip attachment to your Tortling gun.
Location: The broads
Reward: +2 tallies, a whip.

Spoiler: Dr. Amoretto (click to show/hide)

Name: Dr. Darrin Amoretto
Appearance: Taller than average and skinny, though kind of awkward-seeming. Gets antsy when around a lot of people, though becomes much smoother when expounding on a topic he's interested in. Hair is short and brown, skin is pale and moderately sunburnt. His left hand is redder than the rest of him, and looks slightly burnt; it also seems to perpetually have ashes on it.
Profession: Scientist, Engineer, Scout

Weird: 3

Mutation:
Sonic Boom - You can create an intense blast of sound, enough to knock someone off their feet or more.

1 - Curing the Hunger - Part 1 - Test Subject Required
The researchers at Walt Labs know that the Hunger is driving mutants insane... but why and how it works is yet unknown. If they could study someone who has definitely been suffering from the hunger then they'd be able to make serious progress. It just so happens that Alex 'the Freak' Johnson went AWOL in Norwich after flipping out and attacking a member of the Keep. If he could be subdued then he would be invaluable to the research.
Location: The contact at the Keep said he disappeared in the warehouse district north of the river in Norwich.
report location: Amazona in Cromer
Reward: 3 tallies
2 - Why Are the Uploxed so homicidal?
Scouts have spotted a TERRATERROR drone nearby to the west. They're normally non-violent and will often answer questions. Maybe one could be induced to explain about Uploxed culture?
Location: Blakeny Nature Reserve
Reward: 1 tally
3 - Set up our own tower to jam signals - Part 1 - How to Jam?
Darrin knows the theory behind multi-spectrum radio jamming and had set up some prototypes, but they don't seem to have any sustained effect on the Uploxed. The clearest way forward seems to be to travel to Ipswich and ask the Church of the New Millenium how they do it. Surely they'll want more radio jamming in the world?
Location: Ipswich
Reward: 2 tallies

I’m not joining up with them, but some mechanical work shouldn’t be too terrible. Time to help with the warped engine mission.

[notquitethere]

Bungay - Garage

I’m not joining up with them, but some mechanical work shouldn’t be too terrible. Time to help with the warped engine mission.

Darrin heads into the garage. It's a large chop-shop with space for four vehicles to be serviced at a time. He sees someone who he vaguely recognises. A tall slender man with no clear physical prowess, instead he seems to have spent his life focused on looking like a street punk. He has dyed red hair slightly faded, the roots showing. A nose ring, lip piercing, and a couple of missing teeth are clear facial features. He wears jeans and a tank top with the old earth Sriracha logo on it. He's hard at work sorting the latest shipment of car parts.


Deep in the Broads

Train the tortles to obey basic commands such as [in Spanish] “go!”, “stop!”, “follow me!”, “attack!”, “release!”, and [in English] “I fear goodness get away from that!”. Teach them to focus their mischievous nature on my enemies.

[Auze rolled 2+5+2empathy+1tortlinggun=10]
It takes many long weeks of diligent, patient work, but at last the three tortles can follow basic commands and mostly focus their mischievousness on others. All he need do now is give them each a name and he's ready to go out into the world as a tortler.

Establish a population of trained attack tortles - Part 2 - Tortle Training is complete.

Auze gains +1 tally.

Location: Watton
Reward: 5 tallies.
Destroy the Church of the New Millenium - Part 1
research on Nexus brings up that before the end days a mycologist at the West Suffolk College had been breeding on a fungus that rapidly eats away at dead flesh. If this was released among the population of the Church, it would destroy all of the walking corpses and leave the non-uploxed women and children alive. Perhaps a sample could still exist at the college?

Personal Quests:
1 - Establish a sustainable source of food and water
The water supply in Norwich is highly undependable, as the river thick with toxins. From reading old maps, Theodore has made a list of places which have a natural spring which would be much more reliable for water, and therefore food.
Locations: Kings Lynn, Sudbury, Dunwich
Reward: x1 tally per location surveyed (quest can be completed after just one location if desired)
2 -Improve the dependability of my base

Theodore considers either establishing a roving base that can be moved at short notice... or a highly secure base. There's a mechanic apparently working for the Londoners in Bungay, or there's a razorwire factory in Lowestoft.
Locations: Bungay or Lowestoft
Reward: x1 tally for either
3 - Find a cure to the Hunger
Theodore is a science fiction author, not a scientists. Perhaps one of the mutant factions would know more about the Hunger? Or perhaps there are clues back at the Walt NorCom laboratory?
Locations: Cromer, Bungay, or Norwich
Reward: x1 tally for either
