[19:49] <Cheddarius> No
[19:49] <Org> Hello, and welcome to Test Adventure II, Chapter One, Something is Awry.
[19:49] <Org> The adventurers are now stuck in the Cargo Bay of the Gilded Wings, the merchant class ship of Grayson Maxmillion.
[19:50] <Org> Something has gone wrong with the mechanical objects aboard the craft, as they near their target:the mining world Laurium.
[19:51] <Org> So, what do you think has happened so far? I want to see what you can find of the plot using the clues I gave you.
[19:51] <Cheddarius> Um
[19:51] <Org> Um?
[19:51] <Cheddarius> I dunno
[19:51] <Org> Overall, I mean.
[19:51] <Cheddarius> Grayson is suspicious?
[19:51] <Org> What.
[19:52] <Cheddarius> He did something illegal
[19:52] <Org> Yes.
[19:52] <Org> You did okay with that last review.
[19:52] <Cheddarius> And someone put someone else in a box...
[19:52] <Org> A few things off...
[19:52] <Org> Someone?
[19:52] <Org> Meh. I thought I made it a bit more obvious.
[19:53] <Org> Just got to get through that holopad password, hehehe.
[19:53] <Cheddarius> Listen ye well;
[19:53] <Cheddarius> 1. Forumgoers are dumb.
[19:53] <Org> Meh.
[19:53] <Cheddarius> 2. Things seem more obvious when you already know them.
[19:54] <Org> But I put clues in!
[19:54] <Cheddarius> I can't connect them
[19:54] <Org> Just, maybe I did not make them all too obvious...
[19:54] <Cheddarius> I only know two clues
[19:54] <Org> What.
[19:54] <Cheddarius> Grayson is suspicious
[19:54] <Org> Of who or what?
[19:54] <Cheddarius> Not of
[19:54] <Cheddarius> He is a suspicious person
[19:55] <Org> Oh.
[19:55] <Cheddarius> A villain, I mean
[19:55] <Org> I see.
[19:55] <Org> Interesting view.
[19:55] <Cheddarius> He's suspicious of snoopers too
[19:55] <Org> Hmm.
[19:55] <Cheddarius> And Alex Dillinger kidnapped a dude
[19:55] <Org> Yes.
[19:55] <Cheddarius> Alex = Grayson in disguise?
[19:55] <Org> No.
[19:56] <Cheddarius> Or partners
[19:56] <Org> Hm.
[19:56] <Cheddarius> Maybe that's why he didn't want snooping
[19:56] <Org> Well, who is the man in the bay.
[19:56] <Cheddarius> To protect Alex
[19:56] <Cheddarius> He's dead, I don't know
[19:56] <Org> Is he dead?
[19:56] <Org> Oh yeah.
[19:56] <Org> I mean the guy who killed him.
[19:57] <Cheddarius> Oh
[19:57] <Cheddarius> A Cab official?
[19:57] <Org> And your second guess?
[19:57] <Cheddarius> I'm eating chicken and have only one hand to type
[19:57] <Cheddarius> Brb
[19:57] <Org> Mmm.
[19:57] <Org> Chicken.
[19:57] <Org> Making me hungry.
[20:00] <Cheddarius> Okay, I'm done
[20:00] <Cheddarius> Alex, maybe
[20:00] <Cheddarius> Hmmmm
[20:00] <Cheddarius> ""Yeah man! I was a high up guy in the powder gangs, but they haven't been liking me lately, and I think they have been trying to kill me. So I was going to get a deal with the Board, when that guy got me! Was wearing a Board Enforcer uniform, however the hell he got that."
[20:00] <Cheddarius> What is a powder gang?
[20:00] <Org> Guess.
[20:01] <Cheddarius> An elite smuggling ring that fights authorities to transport illegal makeup powder.
[20:01] <Org> Hehe.
[20:01] <Org> No.
[20:01] <Org> Close.
[20:01] <Cheddarius> Powder...
[20:01] <Org> Drug.
[20:01] <Cheddarius> Oh
[20:01] <Cheddarius> Okay, I remember more clues now
[20:01] <Org> Although your suggestion is pretty funny.
[20:01] <Cheddarius> Leads:
[20:01] <Cheddarius> 1. Suspicious dude in room; has CAB hat
[20:02] <Cheddarius> 2. Dude in box; was in drug smuggling ring. Tried to snitch to Board, but was attacked by Alex Dillinger, possibly a Board Enforcer.
[20:02] <Cheddarius> The CAB could be involved in smuggling drugs.
[20:03] <Cheddarius> We might be going to Laurium to mine drugs.
[20:03] <Org> Mine drugs?
[20:04] <Cheddarius> You know, like spice melange.
[20:04] <Org> Could be.
[20:04] <Cheddarius> Yea
[20:04] <Org> Any other leads?
[20:04] <Cheddarius> Someone tried to kill Wadsworth.
[20:04] <Cheddarius> He disabled all the botas.
[20:04] <Cheddarius> *bots
[20:04] <Org> Hmm.
[20:04] <Cheddarius> Or he might have
[20:04] <Cheddarius> Wadsworth is a good robot, he is sympathetic to our cause and slightly resents Grayson for making him work.
[20:05] <Org> Okay.
[20:06] <Cheddarius> Grayson may be controlling the robots.
[20:06] <Cheddarius> He already can, of course.
[20:06] <Org> Okay.
[20:06] <Cheddarius> He sicced service bots with (possibly) ENIs on the cargo bay, which could suggest that he is allied with Alex... or that he has something hidden there.
[20:07] <Org> Okay.
[20:07] <Cheddarius> He sucks up the CAB, too, and they're probably evil.
[20:07] <Org> Okay.
[20:08] <Cheddarius> Bad dude said: ""Sorry, you have seen to much."
[20:08] <Org> And...?
[20:08] <Cheddarius> I dunno
[20:09] <Cheddarius> You've hinted at him being more than ordinary, but he was knocked out with two punches so really he's not so great
[20:09] <Org> Yeah, well, he sucked at rolling the Endurance test.
[20:09] <Org> And Fatigue right now is kinda strange.
[20:09] <Cheddarius> Ah
[20:10] <Cheddarius> He invested a lot in killing the powder man first, ignoring Ogre.
[20:10] <Cheddarius> Hmmm.
[20:10] <Org> ?
[20:11] <Cheddarius> He or his superiors clearly have a strong reason to silence the powder-gang man.
[20:11] <Cheddarius> He's probably affiliated with Alex, as I said before. He could even be Alex.
[20:11] <Cheddarius> Or he could be the man in the hotel room.
[20:13] <Org> Hmmm.
[20:13] <Cheddarius> Hey, listen
[20:13] <Org> Yeah.
[20:13] <Cheddarius> Is the password something really obscure?
[20:13] <Cheddarius> A random number or something?
[20:13] <Org> No.
[20:14] <Cheddarius> Can I figure it out from the clues I have now?
[20:14] <Org> Yes.
[20:14] <Org> I wish Arch and Virex were here.
[20:15] <Cheddarius> Maximillian can't be controlling the robots, he's here with us. Never mind.
[20:15] <Org> Hmm.
[20:15] <Cheddarius> So, Enforcerboy was blackmailing Maximillian, according to Maximillian
[20:15] <Cheddarius> And he is apparently not lying. If he was lying he wouldn't have mentioned it at all, methinks.
[20:16] <Org> Hmm.
[20:18] <Cheddarius> Oh, he must be an enforcer, he's got the vest.
[20:18] <Cheddarius> Okay, can I wear that?
[20:19] <Org> It is a ballistic mesh vest, with the insignia of the C.A.B. Enforcers.
[20:19] <Org> Definently will help if needing a disguise.
[20:20] <Cheddarius> Hey, do this: /TOPIC #bloodycosmos This is the channel for Test Adventure II: Bloody Cosmos. Stuff about plot so far. Etc.
[20:21] <Org> What does it do?
[20:21] <Cheddarius> Makes the channel topic
[20:21] <Org> Ah.
[20:21] <Cheddarius> That way, whoever enters will see that
[20:22] <Cheddarius> And you won't have to post it again
[20:22] <Org> So, why do you think that the robots have gone haywire?
[20:23] <Cheddarius> The guy in the hotel room could have done it.
[20:23] <Cheddarius> I'm thinking not atmospheric influence
[20:23] <Cheddarius> A motive, I mean
[20:23] <Org> Hmm.
[20:23] <Cheddarius> Because Wadsworth said something about it
[20:24] <Org> Did he?
[20:25] <Cheddarius> Yeah
[20:25] <Org> What did he say?
[20:25] <Cheddarius> "Wadsworth, and the other bot, begin acting strange."
[20:25] <Cheddarius> "Something...strange...insi-"
[20:26] <Cheddarius> He didn't say, for example, "BZZT RADIATION INTERFERENCE, SHUTTING DOWN"
[20:26] <Org> Yes.
[20:26] <Cheddarius> He was actively taken control of, and started attacking us, which implies that someone was controlling him who doesn't like us
[20:26] <Org> Someone?
[20:27] <Cheddarius> Dude in the hotel thinks we are scum
[20:27] <Cheddarius> And he was talking to CAB
[20:27] <Org> Indeed.
[20:27] <Cheddarius> And CAB doesn't like us
[20:27] <Cheddarius> Because we saw too much
[20:27] <Org> Do they?
[20:27] <Cheddarius> They sent a CAB enforcer to the cargo bay, who wanted to kill anyone who had seen too much
[20:27] <Cheddarius> So, no.
[20:28] <Org> Hmm.
[20:28] <Org> So, what do you think has happened on Laurium?
[20:29] <Org> THis will be just speculation for you, as I have said little of anything about Laurium yet.
[20:29] <Cheddarius> I have no idea
[20:29] <Org> Okay.
[20:29] <Org> So, I have to go do something, but I'll be back in maybe 30 or less minutes.
[20:29] <Cheddarius> Ah
[20:29] <Cheddarius> I will have to go too
[20:30] <Cheddarius> Back in maybe an hour, we'll see if Archangel/Virex are online then
