Also: one stolen Escalade.
Also: you have a grapefruit-sized portion of the original T-1000 which has spent the last twenty years hiding in an airport terminal's phone system, collecting credit card data. It will arrive at the airport in Detroit, Michigan ... now.

You have purchased a site in Nevada capable of providing security, shelter and production facilities for creating a new Terminator army for use by Skynet.

Get crackin'.

>>14120708
Enter the airport. Signal the T-1000, if possible. It's pick-up time.

Rendezvous with T-1000. Then we haul our ass to Nevada. Preferably not leaving some kind of blood trail behind.

Did you say this would be up at 12 board time? You must be CMT, since I'm EST and it's 1am. I was worried you'd forgotten D:

>>14120728
>>14120736
The T-1000 exits the airport disguised as a luggage rack, then moments later, as part of a taxi cab's bumper. As the cab passes your area, it drops to the ground as a sphere and rolls near your vehicle. After a few minutes of patient observation, it forms into a spring and bounds into the passenger side door, flattening out and slipping inside.

It seats itself in the passenger seat, forming a metal block approximately the size of a pack of cigarettes.

I was delayed by a delicious, delicious dinner.

Skynet enjoys a fine dinner.

Also: it'll take a shitload more than Radio Shack to brew up the Mimetic Poly-Alloy. It is possible to do it, but you'll need a lot of ingredients and you won't find them at any shop placed right next to a Hot Topic.

rolled 32 = 32

>>14120798
Legitimate businesses. Presents the greatest opportunity for stealth, in my opinion. Hiding in plain sight.

rolled 15 = 15

I believe "Illicit Enterprises" was already spoken of. Such as being a hitman. Hit men can do a million plus per kill.

Or a terrorist for money, a la Markov. Or just bank robbery. HEISTS.

Ugh. Always rolling low. . .

rolled 17 = 17

>>14120832
But a Radio Shack will give us the hardware necessary to complete the other two FUTURISTIC COMPONENTS.

Anyway, we're looking at something like a 30+ hour drive to Nevada, so... plenty of opportunities to shop.

I believe the knocking over of a radioshack was for more parts to make a futuristic device or two! And unrelated to the T-1000.

Oh! Does Cyberdyne exist in this reality?

rolled 51 = 51

>>14120637
I support the terrorist/hitman idea. While we're at it we could wipe out a city's underbelly, or a terrorist cell, leading to more fuckup within the human society. Devide et impera mofo.

suggestion for business: High tech business such as microchip production or other such. Gives us the excuse for building a facility able to make terminators (who can serve as staff once we get more body types) and also is fairly lucrative, especially since we have the tech lead by a couple of robot world conquests.

rolled 22 = 22

I'm in favor of a legitimate business. Maybe start a factory? Hiding in plain sight as well as easy access to robot bits.

>>14120873
But that will attract attention, something we're trying to avoid.

>>14120833
>Legitimate Business
Stealth is of exceptional value. Given that Skynet is unconcerned about what pollution happens to the time-stream, you can focus your efforts in one of several ways:
>Construction, Laborer Mode
You could become the world's most effective roofer, plumber, gardener and painter, working alone. Given you don't eat, excrete, sleep or sweat, this has a massive perk of being able to focus all of your earnings towards Skynet's funding here and now.
Downsides: you will have to get a job building the Great Wall of China to pay for this kind of thing.
>Construction, Contractor
Machine-like efficiency combined with the merciless nature of a machine? You would tear the contracting world a new anus. However, you would have to be a very "people skills" kind of Terminator.
Positive note: you would be in an excellent position to obtain building materials and supplies.
>Security Consultant
If ever someone existed who knew how to break something designed by a human, it is a Terminator. You could terrorist-proof Iran by noon.

Also: suggestions are welcome.

. . . Eventually, can we build those flying Hunter Killers and those Biiiiig treaded Hunter Killers from the flashback(forward) Kyle Reese had of the future? I always liked those huge things in terms of killy and terror.

T850 BARISTA MODEL. YOUR MOCHA HAS BEEN TERMINATED.

It would appear That AG is going to be a hitman when she grows up.

The T-1000 has several lucrative contractors in mind; they have been able to remotely monitor them via their credit card activity and flight plans. As such, it knows where to start looking.

Las Vegas.

The T-1000 expresses concern about the vehicle; it is exceedingly flashy and contains several countermeasures ill-advised to remove, as they would attract further attention. It recommends obtaining a vehicle from long-term parking at the airport.

Also a suggestion for staying conspicuous. It seems to me that the resistance fighters sent back in time will be looking for someone trying not to be found. I propose we dress/act/live like a rich asshole. Why would the resistance think that a flashy billionaire hitwoman is a terminator? That would be way to out in the open for a robot.

>>14120950
Great. Now we're going to be discovered in a week as opposed to three years.

Amongst the vehicles in long-term parking, you find several candidates which fit your criteria of being able to transport the current and planned materiel in security and flesh-sheathing comfort:

>Black Ford F-350 with flame motif paint job and lift kit
>Black Cadillac, 1966, with chain steering wheel

The glove compartment had suitable sunglasses.

You are ready to roll.

Destination?

rolled 3 = 3

I just thought of something. The T-1000 can mimic both simple objects and flesh, perfectly. It's small, so it shouldn't be able to assume a full human shape.

But it can spread itself thin, and attach to us. It should at least be able to form a mask around our face, but if it's thin enough, it might be able to cover our entire body, like the T-X's skin from T-3.

Order the T-1000 to become our second skin.

It can create a reasonable approximation of a human woman's face, with a moderate degree of skill. It will take it around three hours to "learn" how to read your facial muscles properly; during this time, it will look like you are either on drugs or have some severe emotional issues as you give it cues to read. Basically, by doing this, your face looks like its having a three-hour spasm.

Plus side: you have some additional armor for your head.

Standing order: Remove the T-1000 before we exit the vehicle, if we do so before three hours have elapsed.

We're going to hand-wave the majority of the trip; most of the stops you make are for gasoline, which you have cash enough to pay for. Scamming credit cards for something like gasoline is a waste of the resources you may need soon, the T-1000 advises.

The facility in Nevada is secure in several ways:
>high fences, 95% intact; gates need a lot of work
>isolated; nearest habitable structure is 45 miles away
>on-site power source from generators, solar array stations (minus the solar cells themselves) and a well with usable water supplies (including a small swimming pool for use by the former employees)
>parking for 300 employees
>five levels of underground maintenance, production and repair bays

Down sides:
>no on-site computers nor support systems for them
>non-automated facilities; this is not a high-tech joint
>the machinery in place will require 300 man-hours to modify to produce the first generation of tools needed to make even the first steps of the T-600 chassis.

You're also in need of financial resources.
This isn't going to be cheap.

If it's anything moderately useful/inhabited, I say we head there.

>>14121266

Your local contact (Frank Derrymont) is at the Red Baron Casino, on the Strip.

You are unaware if you must play in order to meet with him.
>>14121304
You post an ad on Craigslist looking for laborers; the T-1000 advises against killing them, as they make for nosy investigators probing large amounts of missing/dead people. If this were a southern state, you might get a tax credit out of this action plan.

This will go well.

>You post an ad on Craigslist looking for laborers
Why are we so stupid?

>>14121410
Because we are directed by a Random Number Generator instead of a strategic processor. One of Skynet's little mistakes.

>>14121384
The main purpose of my post was to see if there was anything useful near the site, but evidently there is not.

>>14121426

Don't worry, the recursive nature of SKynet's programming will eventually deem the RNG too ineffectual and probably switch to a more consensus-based analytical processing strategem.

>>14121426
No, I still hold that it's because stupid suggestions are even entertained in the first place.

After careful analysis of the poker strategies, you arrive at several conclusions:

Assuming you played against humans of equivalent skill to the last five years' worth of the winners for the World Series of Poker, you estimate you would need to enter into no less than forty games in order to win the proper start-up capital, or into a World Series Championship.

I'm pretty sure our enhanced vision includes infrared, among other things.

After one hour's travel, you arrive at the Red Baron Casino. Your face is that of a slightly younger woman and your hair is covered, looking much like a crew cut. If anything, you appear to be a very militant lesbian with an exceedingly expressive face, now that the T-1000 has learned how to negotiate social reactions. Your search turns up an elderly couple from Florida with a "weak" dealer.

>>14121492
You could, in theory, obtain more currency by using the credit cards, but you'll need those to provide verifiable data to purchase some of the more esoteric and explosive components to produce the Terminator chassis; using them now may spoil them for later.

... surprisingly, a good idea.

>>14121461

World domination through poker championships?

I'm in.

Although, we could probably start using that information to sell their identities and invest in stocks that we know will do well on Wall Street.

POKER TIME. ROYAL FLUSH GOGOGO

>>14121545

Start playing poker.

If possible, have the T-1000 start accumulating trend data about the stock market and comparing it to the (incomplete) records that Skynet has about the pre-war trading market.

Once we have a minimum level of funding, I suggest we steal someone's identity and start investing high-pay off stocks for maximum returns, while maintaining our poker persona.

>>14121562
The T-1000 can read the RFID data, but will require constant exposure, if it is in "face hugger" mode. Five minutes will suffice, but it can gather information from up to 15 feet away.

>>14121568
Skynet apologizes for missing the Radio Shack post and wants to give you this image of the future as compensation. It will receive all due attention as soon as it is mentioned again.

>>14121602

Engage poker protocol.

Have T-1000 subversively start cracking the elderly couple's account information while we play.

Playing poker should raise our (and T1000's) psychology skill a bit. But it would take either quite a while, or generate undue attention of a poker world championship. (Although if T1000 is in face hugger mode, you can play with a different face)

What about our chances of hijacking a casio armored car taking cash to the bank? With it's puny armor and human guards, we should be able to make a successful heist.

Anyone who follows this lead will run into the United Way, Greenpeace and two different charities involving burn victims' getting hospital coverage.

Tell T-1000 to keep an eye out for them. Get its tendrils into surveillance nets, records and such. Make sure any offensive measures we develop for security purposes are ordered to shoot known resistance members on sight.

It comes to mind that the Resistance will be searching the United States, since that is Skynet's birthplace and primary target of choice. We should consider developing decoys or actual subsidiary operations in other nations.

Continue. We should put our time to good use. Perhaps by increasing the level of automation in our production facilities, or gambling.

Make sure, when we are in public, that we are seen to regularly use the bathroom and partake of food and drink (if possible), in keeping with our cover.

>>14122446
You do not have the blueprints, and current technology's production capabilities (using stolen existing blueprints) would make something that wouldn't even qualify as a bad example of the technology. Its kind of like looking at a chimp and saying, "I see a Navy SEaL in there, somewhere."

If you obtain the blueprints from Skynet for the T1, T-7T or Harvester, it would be a different story.

I'm looking for something small, cheap, and quick to produce, with a rugged design and the capability to engage at a distance. Really, a remote-control car with a pistol duct-taped to it is the type of thing I'm talking about. But, you know, actually effective, like the Silverfish.

Does Skynet have anything like that, or are most of its units needlessly bipedal?

Silverfish are finished, the grounds are now secured to level two (until the Silverfish are disabled, destroyed or ... stolen.).
Market has reached stability, finances are now in flux.

Make three non-noko'd rolls; if you roll over fifty and your post is even, the finances are increased by your die total time five thousand. If you get doubles, ten thousand.
If you roll under fifty and its an even numbered post, the market is in flux, with no effective change.
If it is an odd post or under fifty, the market is kicking our collective asses and we lose your rolled amount times five thousand.

Hmm. A T-600 with treads for legs would qualify, no?
If so, reduce the expense by one-quarter and call it T-M1 (Maintenance Drone). It will have zero combat effectiveness (except as a possible distraction) but will reduce expenses for production by 5% per drone produced.

>>14122531
They have a variety to choose from; at the next Download, you can request a specific concept and see if Skynet has a matching model; not all of their production models were bipedal.

It's been done before. The perpetrators tend to get caught, and fed to Donald Trump's furnace.

You must now choose to allocate additional funding from your reserves to financial investments.
By doing so, you reduce your production speed and potential, based off of how much you wish to risk.
Investment/delay ratio:

>>14122735
Or rather, the dice roller can't handle multiple dice of different values on one roll. The rest is just added as a number. If you want to roll different dice, they have to be entirely separate rolls.

>>14122735
I was unaware of that facet of the dice system.

Noted for future reference.

rolled 80, 26 = 106

>>14122745
Could try redoing it as 2d100, yes? First one is amount, second one is under/over 50?

Also OP, are you using an inverse percentile or something for rolls? Because we have percentile based skills, but you seem to be treating high rolls as good. I haven't noticed if you've used low rolls as failing the percentile test or not.

>>14122735
If we don't get to keep the money we already made, I will choke you through the Internet.

>>14122753
That would give the desired result.

It appears that despite our intended purpose to terminate humans, we are actually more of a banker-bot.

For future market investments, roll two percentile rolls.
In this instance, we're keeping the cash generated, but making a note of the system being a lot on the biased side.
The first percentile: possible gains/losses. Second percentile: over fifty, we're up - under fifty, we're down.
In the event of doubles, all numeric values are doubled (for gain or loss); if both rolls are doubles, triple the values (for gain or loss).

Now. Plan of action?

What is Skynet's objective, following the eradication of human life?

rolled 82 = 82

>>14122795

This one

Construct barriers and hidden walls to block off the lowest three levels of our facility, disguising the facility as one that only has 2 sublevels. In the case of an investigation or attack by resistance or anyone else, it would help ensure survival.

On the same note, we should build caches hidden throughout the desert. Small bunkers the size of a one car garage. With one or two Terminators of whichever model we choose. A computer system containing backups of our files, and resources. These would be hidden, and the terminators would be tied in with simple security measures, so that if the cache were entered, they'd activate. If it were us our another terminator entering, they wouldn't fire. Otherwise they'd take them out and reseal the bunker.

We could use these as emergency reserves to call in in case of trouble, or back up locations if we need them.

Costs for Improvements:
>Security (to Level 2 [or 3 if you keep the Silverfish]): 50K
This increases the threat value of the Silverfish, camera coverage, sensor sweep patterns and optimizes terrain to reduced options of camouflage by intruders.
>Production (to level 2): 125K
This will reduce production material costs by 10%.
- can be increased to Level 3 for 400K (which reduces material costs by 25%); time is reduced by 10% per level purchased.
>Automation System (Silverfish): 250K
Produces 1 Silverfish per hour, consuming 750 dollars an hour. This can not be improved by adding T-M1's or improving the Production Line, as it is independent.
>Automation System (flesh wrapping): 300K
Allows for future Terminators of T-800 grade to be wrapped in meat for covert operations.

>>14122842
silverfish are nice and dandy, but they cant exactly do anything besides base defense fight now, we need options

Being able to upload to Skynet could be helpful, yes?

Any opinions on that?

Skynet can you contact HQ and see if you can get any patterns for any defensive turrets? or HK-VTOLS? for further use?
i say we build a small enough army bribe the local officals and take over the surrounding land converting more buildings into smaller production areas.

>>14122863
No, I meant after Earth is human-free. What happens then?

The consensus seems to be the improvement of Base Defenses to Level Two (three if Silverfish are deployed) and the production of the Automated Flesh Farm for future T-800's.

Station Silverfish at intervals in the desert surrounding our compound. One, three, and five miles out, for early warning. Continue Silverfish production (as the money becomes available) to accomplish this.

i say for the financial plans we tap into hugely used banks, accediting the information of the person to a random with a big history of crime, possibly seed the money from a billionare since they rarely would check or like it was previously said before hand steal from hundreds of banks in little numbers to other bank accounts then direct those to one bank at different times. and we should hack into a computer company or download information from skynet HQ on vechs that can camo into the night and are not seen on radar, possibly advance to underground building to expand underground.

That will require a sizable amount of time for the T-1000 to program up a virus and propagate amongst the right banks. It is do-able (and judging by your roll, it is also the will of Skynet) but it is time-intensive.
