The Broads - Riverside

"Don't worry, brother. Me and the tortles will help kill this harpy. I mean, once they grab a hold of the bird this will be a piece of cake. Lets go."
Help Josh find and fight the harpy.

[Auze rolled 3+5+2wits=10]
[Auze rolled 5+5+2empathy+1tortlinggun=13]
Auze, Josh and the three tortles quietly approach the boat house. The water laps into the building, and inside there is a blue motorboat. Tinkering with the engine, clanging loudly, is a girl with moth-like wings. Josh's sword is resting on the deck of the boat. Auze and company sneak into the house, and Auze gives the signal to the tortles to attack! One of the tortles leaps on her back and rips off a wing. Immediately, two more wings burst out in its place. Josh jumps up onto the deck and grabs his sword. Without delay he slashes at the mutant's head, knocking it from its shoulders. The body slumps back into the water.

"That was more straightforward that expected," he says. "I hate to think what might have happened if she'd seen us coming."

Sitting in the boat, Josh takes a few hours to apply the whip attachment to Auze's tortleing gun.

- O Brother! has been completed. Auze gains 2 tallies, and a whip.

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.

• Torteling gun with whip: Perhaps the closest thing to the ideal weapon for a Tortler, this weapon is effective at both ranged and melee, allowing one to shoot someone and then bash his head in if he is still breathing. Not bad for a gun that is often homemade out of scavenged parts.

Other items:
Diamond Dust

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:

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

Done (sort of)
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
Part 2 - Tortle training

Done:
* - 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.

Dereham

“Right, where would I go to find a trap?”

In Nexus Sandra receives various plans for hinged spike traps, dart throwers, flame jets and the like, and the materials she would need to assemble such a thing. The scrap could probably be salvaged from the houses nearby.

Ask Persephone, what I would need to trade-in to get some gold leaf, and then ask if she’s a bodysnatcher

[Jager rolled 5+6+2empathy+0terra=13]
"You're by an old catering unit," Persephone says. She hooks into Jager's vidfeed and an augmented reality avatar pops up in his field of vision and gestures at the blocky building in front of them. "There might be gold leaf sheets for catering in there."

Jager asks if she's a bodysnatcher, and she says, "I have a bodysnatcher yep! Re-integrating the memories afterwards is a real psychup."


Bungay

Let’s just eat, rest, and recover for a bit.

[Darrin rolled 4+6-1body+1canteen=10]
Darrin takes a day off, relaxing in the canteen. There are guest beds for passersby. The food is simple but filling. By the next morning he's feeling a lot better. He sleeps with a closed fist habitually these days and when he uncurls it in the morning his blowtorch finger is burning brightly once more. The world beckons... whatever next?

Darrin loses all conditions.

"Always nice to meet someone who enjoyed at least some of my work, especially in a world like this. What was your favorite part? As for Viktor, I believe alcohol would be the best bet. Timmy and I traveled with him before the Hunger got him and I rarely saw him without a bottle. I also have a bottle of vodka that he gifted me. He seemed to really like the stuff. I could give it to you if you put in a good word with the mechanic I heard was around here. I have a request to make of them when I get the chance."

Give information on Viktor. Get dossier on the Hunger. Possibly give bottle of vodka in exchange for help from mechanic in making my base mobile. Amd since I'm guessing vodka for base might be a bit of an upsell, use my Silver Tongue to make it more appealing if necessary.

[Theodore rolled 6+6+2weird=14]
Theodore learns that Balthazar's favourite part was the detailed inter-factional scheming between the Cyberlords. "I enjoy any story with a good lot of backstabbing and betrayal," he says. With a silver tongue, he hands over the vodka and hopes for a good word given to the mechanic. After a short while waiting for documents to be copied and collated, Theodore is given a stack of papers.

Timmy and Theodore spend the night pouring over the research. There are competing theories about the mutations and the Hunger. But the main belief is that somehow the scientists at Walt Labs discovered a way to entangle a person with quantum linked versions of themselves from significantly less likely versions of reality. How or why these versions could manifest the various powers was unclear as yet. The Hunger itself is seen as a sort of bug in this process, immense amount of energy must be needed for the powers, energy that must come from somewhere-- the Hunger is thought to be where the human body begins to feel the physical need for this energy, a need they can't assuage. Why this drives them to want to eat hearts is also yet unknown.

As for a cure, while only the advanced scientists at the head of Walt Labs would truly know how to fix it for good, Srihacha the mechanic has been working on something that appears to dull the symptoms of the mutation and curb the hunger. In the morning Timmy and Theodore meet the tall mechanic in his garage where he's standing in front of a garage.

"I've been working solid on the results I just got from my recent experiments," he says, "This bus now works on pure Warp energy. Only a mutant can drive it, and while they're hooked up and for a while afterwards, they shouldn't get any of the terrible symptoms. Balth told me you were a powerful mutant looking for some wheels. I had a... a proposition you might say. I'll let you drive the bus around, and it will send readings back to me here in Bungay. This'll really help the eggheads here, and you a bus out of it. What do you say?"

"Hell, if you don't take him up on this, I might!" says Timmy.


Find a cure to the Hunger is completed. Theodore gains +1 tally.


The Keep

Seems like it would be best to go to the Keep to establish contact with them.

The next day Auze sets off for the big city walking along the overgrown train track. The first sight he gets of the towers of the ancient citadel is when the railway opens up into a wide rail yard leading down to a swollen river. On the other side of the river the city spreads out, crumbling ivy-covered offices, flooded townhouses, and the odd medieval church or timbered building revolting against the ages.

In a narrow stretch of the river, planks have been laid across half-submerged cars stuck on a flooded bridge beneath the murky frothing water. A path leads through thick brambles battered down, and then along some tight streets surrounded by ruins. Auze walks along the most trodden path where the overgrowth has been beaten back until he sees upon the top of a hill, surrounded by a wall of trashed cars, the keep of an old castle. Men and women patrol the walls, armed with guns and crossbows.

Auze approaches and hails them. They run a metal detector along his body but find nothing more untoward than his gun and so let him confident he's no bodysnatcher. He's greeted by a woman in her late twenties with pink hair, dressed in battered kangaroo onesie.

"Hi! Pleased ta meet ya!" She speaks with a Canadian accent, and stretches out her hand to Auze. "The name's Carol, eh. Those your pets?"

She indicates to the three tortles who stand behind Auze and look at the stranger with suspicion.


Near Spooner Row

Approach cautiously, but do not attack. If they notice me, ask “What are you doing?” unless they attack.

[P4 rolled 3+2+0empathy-1keep+1handkerchief=5]
P4 pads up towards the group on the other hill. Two men and two women, wearing padded denim jackets, armed with crossbows and clubs, eventually see him coming.

"Aw he looks kinda cute with that scarf," says one of them.

"It's a ruse, let's just put it down before it alerts the mob," says another.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" barks a voice from P4's speakers, harsher than he'd intended.

This spooks them, and one of them lets loose a crossbow bolt straight at P4. It thuds into his leg, giving him an uneven gait.

P4 gains condition: arrow to the knee.

(Please post your sheet when you do an action, it really speeds things up for me.)


Empire Forge

Search the area around the forge and see if there are any buses, RVs, or large trucks around, if there are see it it still runs.

New personal quest for Burt:

Getting Wheels
The whole countryside is littered with dead vehicles but Burt's sure there must be a decent vehicle still around here that could be made to work.
Location: Around Empire Forge
Reward: +1 tally, +1 vehicle

[Burt rolled 2+6+2wits-1tired=9]
Burt takes a good look around the area about the forge. The drone buzzes alongside him, filming his progress. He's dog tired by this time, and so the search is harder than it should be but in a garage by another remote farmyard, Burt eventually finds a motorhome. It's unlocked, the keys in the glovebox. Inside there's a tiny kitchenette, a shower unit (water all evaporated), some cupboards with a bit of mould in them and a fold out bed without sheets. It's almost perfect.

The motorhome runs off a solar array on the roof, but the battery is dead: it needs a good jolt to kick start it so it can leave the garage. A much bigger man than Burt could perhaps push the truck outside. It's night so it'll be a while before the sun can recharge the array either way. The drone is still filming him.


Norwich Riverside

Check out the canal barge and see if it's capable of movement and occupied.  If it's empty and capable of moving, yoink it and sail downriver.

[Sandeep rolled 6+5+3body=14]
[Sandeep rolled 4+5+2wits=11]
Sandeep's first challenge is to get across the swift-moving river. Holding his belongings in a bundle above him he slips into the water and swims powerfully across on his back. He sneaks up the bank on the other side and clambers over the rail onto the boat. It's a narrowboat with a solar array along the roof and two little windmills on either side. Inside, there's a sparren living quarters, a tiny kettle which has just boiled and an empty pot of tea filled with leaves which probably aren't tea. Finding the place empty, Sandeep unfurls the rope and sets the boat off down stream. On the bank, a man wearing a nice suit walks out of the reeds, adjusting his belt. Seeing his boat stolen he shouts after Sandeep but the boat is well underway downstream!

Acquire Boat has been completed. Sandeep gains +1 tally.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

”Your testing my patience, I need some gold leaf enough for a chair, and this is the only location known to me to get some, I have other important matters too attend to to.”

Go inside the catering building, requesting that I get some gold leaf immediately and don’t have much time to chatter and will spare a kudos for it, intimidate as required

[Devastator]

Spend five tallies to raise Empathy to +1.  Stop the boat, and let the owner get on board.  Be ready to hold off the owner physically if attacked, and try to explain what I need the boat for.

I may need a boat, but I don't see why I shouldn't try to gain one peacefully.

Rep: +0walt +0london +0mob +0keep +0church -1gml +0legends +0terra -1eyes -2pirates

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
