Ok this is tragic something this cool isn't getting any action. How do I play OP?

Woops, I forgot to put the Quest in the subject heading. Oh well.

>>14199299

State what you want to do, simple as that. Certain things will require rolls, though.

>>14199319
I take the magnum, some ammo and toolbox from the Explorer and get into the Aviary to get the hydro plant fixed

So we are going to fix an old hydro plant near the Aviary, is it inside or outside it? I don't think I see it on the map.

>>14199351

It's inside the Aviary. It's not on the map, it had been replaced by the time the map was made.

>>14199362
Well let's get what we need and let's get this over with then.

>>14199343
What you said

You drive down the old service road, it's leading to the river. As you drive, you start to hear screeching. Emanuel and Juan are both getting nervous.

>>14199390
I slow the car and try to identify the noise

>>14199414

It's no doubt one of the Cearadactylus in the Aviary. As if on cue, a large shadow falls on the front of your car and you can see one of the pterosaurs fly just above the roof of the Explorer.

Emmanuel gulps. "Porter, I think we should keep moving."

Can someone give me a summary of what has happened so far?

>>14199481
trying to keep my focus on the road and not the looming shape I speed up and try to continue down the track

I hit the gas, gunning it to our destination. "Keep your eyes open, boys; we don't want any surprises."

>>14199500

A lot. A minimal summary can be found in the descriptions of each thread here:

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Jurassic%20Park%20Quest

Maybe we went over it in the last thread, but why haven't we joined the other maintenance guys in the strike?

>>14199587
When shit hits the fan, I'd rather not be in the largest meat-concentration on the island. At least we're trying to get shit back under control.

>>14199587
1) Because shit will get a lot worse if SOMEONE doesn't join us.
2) We only just found out about it.
3) We're gonna leverage it into getting promoted, possibly to DRT.

You hit the gas and the car leaps forward. It takes about half a minute to reach the building, with the pterosaurs swooping at you the whole time. The building is pretty decrepit, and it's streaked with white stains, probably dino crap. Vines grow up the sides of the building and the walls have a lot of cracks in them. Clearly this building wasn't maintained.

>>14199652

I'm not sure promotion works like that. Wouldn't they just promote us to a higher position in Maintenance? why would they promote us to an entirely different division?

Just a sidenote: is our Explorer the closed roof or open top type?

>>14199656

Once again, I fail to be surprised by management's incompetence.

>>14199656
Alright, let's park fairly close. Make sure everyone's got tranqs ready, just as a precaution. Do we still have our flood-helmet? It might be handy.

>>14199674

Closed, but it's got a big hole in the windshield from a rogue rocket-propelled tranquilizer dart.

>>14199674

It's got a piece of Plexi-glass installed on the top. Like in the movie.

>>14199656
Get out and take the shotgun.

>>14199673
Because Muldoon likes us.

>>14199728

Yeah, but if we're the only maintenance guy still working, they might not want us to start doing dino control.

Muldoon could probably get overruled for something like that.

>>14199747
Once they negotiate stuff, we'll be good to go. Besides, Emanuel and Juan are maintenance too, and they seem to be sticking by us for the moment.

Let's get in there, then, with our floodhat and chainmail if possible.

>>14199785

Didn't we put the chain mail on under our overalls?

>>14199794

You put it on, but it's over your coveralls.

>>14199798
Well there's still the floodhat.

You grab your floodhat and put it on. You all get out of the truck, with you taking the shotgun. The pterosaurs are flying around overhead and screeching, they don't seem very happy.

Let's hurry inside then. Even if they aren't able to kill us they could still probably rake at us or peck us or something and getting hurt sounds like a bad plan.

>>14199900
Or rather, the others getting hurt, we seem to be protected.

>>14199992

I dont know, that Raptor's bite was enough to break the guys arm.

>>14200017
These things are pretty small though, IIRC.

So what's in the building?

Can we make a dinosaur knowledge roll to see what we know about how dangerous these things are?

You all get to the entrance, luckily you parked closely. You find yourself in the lobby. The walls are bare. There's a hallway off to your right leading to a closed door. Another door in the corner of a far wall is standing ajar. There are compys everywhere.

>>14200153

You can try.

>>14200159
Great, this place is gonna be all chewed up, isn't it?
Shall we try scaring them away, guys?

Why don't we pop out, see if we can find a branch or something and use the lighter in our makeshift flamethrower to make a torch, the better to try to drive them off?

Boy, a bit of a slow night.

I want to know what is up with everyone and the flamethrower shit?

>>14200247
You know a better way to scare an animal?

>>14200159
Radio in to dispatch. Inform them that we've arrived at a building, it's full of compys. Ask if they have blueprints and can tell us where the relevant bits are.

>>14200266
Seems sensible.

>>14200266

"*static* Don't have blueprints on hand, check the office. Oh, and since Muldoon is letting you keep that handgun, don't kill those pterosaurs. They're valuable."

>>14200311
"Wasn't planning on it, they haven't done much but squawk at us."

"Let's see about looking for some schematics. Watch your backs just in case the compies get bold."

You find the office behind the door in the hallway, and you all enter it. The compys follow, and seem to be particularly interested in Emmanuel, going so far as to make attempts to dash at him.

The office has 2 big sets of windows, one looking outside at the river, another looking inward. The inward set shows another floor below this one, you can see the turbine in it, along with another room immediately in front of this one. You could go through the window and walk on its ceiling. In front of the inward facing windows is a long table with a pair of computers, they look off. There is a filing cabinet in the corner.

Keeping bumped.

Waht would a Dino knowledge roll be? d100?

>>14200489

Yes, d100.

>>14200479
"Emanuel, why don't you let me get between you and those compies. I think they can smell blood on you."
Then let's check on the computers, see if they can be turned on.

>>14200479
Give Emmanuel the shotgun. Tell him not to hesitate to blast the compys if they fuck with him too much- they try to mob anything wounded.

See if the computers are working. If they're not, check the filing cabinet. Shut the door so that the compys fuck off.

>>14200479

Was Emanuel injured earlier? If we don't know, ask him. If he wasn't ask if he's carrying any food that might be attracting them.

>>14200516

Dude, Emaunel is panicky and not used to weapons. Do NOT give him the shotgun. He's likely to waste our ammo or accidentally shot somebody.

>>14200528
Well, I don't want to cover him constantly and those compys are going to try and swarm him- probably sooner rather than later. Can we at least give him something to beat them off with? Letting a member of our team get eaten by fucking compys would be a disgrace.

It's not a great idea, but worst case if we picked up a compy and flung it into a wall they might eat it and buy us a little time.

>>14200518

He got clawed during a velociraptor attack earlier in the day, he's still limping a little. Speaking of which, it's around 6 PM now.

>>14200560
Hey, we don't have any of those granola bars we snagged when we went by the employee bungalows, do we?

>>14200590
If we do, we should really have eaten them by now. Delicious granola.


Seriously, though, tell Emanuel that those compys are going to try and jump him if they decide that he's weak enough, and he'd best keep a wary eye on them. And perhaps grab something smashy.

And once he knows that, get on with our job.

If we have any granola bars left, offer a couple to Juan and Emanuel. They probably need the energy too.

Also, just how many Compys are there?

>>14200624
At any rate one of our bigger wenches would do it.

You have a whole box of them in the Explorer, just thinking about them makes your stomach growl, you haven't had dinner.

Emmanuel activates his shock prod and starts waving it at the compys.

"I know what I'm doing."

The computers are not working. You check the filing cabinet and find a bunch of papers, along with a map of the complex.

>>14200678
"Bingo! Alright, let's step out for a sec and have a granola bar or two, then we'll get the generators up and running."

>>14200678
If he gets killed after a line like that, I will facepalm in character and laugh heartily out of character.

Anyway. Presumably our knowledge of generators would tell us how to go about turning this thing on? Dispatch didn't mention that it was damaged, but we should probably sweep the turbine room and give a cursory check of the systems before we hit the "on" button, just in case.

>>14200678

Where are we in this map? Also, quickly jog outside, and get a handful of granola bars out of the Explorer, then jog right back. We need to be at top efficiency. Tell Juan and Emanuel to stay in the lobby for a minute.

>>14200722

You are in the office.

>>14200722
We're in the office.
I'm opposed to splitting up.

>>14200769
We can do that, sure.

rolled 62 = 62

>>14200769

Alternatively, who knows what we'll find deeper in the building? We might get stuck inside for hours. I say we all go grab the food real quick, then jog right back.

Also, this roll is for knowledge of the pteros, to be sure going back out there is a good idea

>>14200818

You can't really remember anything new.

>>14200818
"Deeper in the building"? The building is not that large. We can scan the whole thing in ten minutes.

>>14200843

Unless, say, there's a dead body in the next room. Or incriminating files. Or a pack of raptors.

So are we getting food now or after an inspection?

>>14200867
After inspection. Inspection to be conducted with weapons at ready, I should note.

>>14200867

I vote now, but we take Juan and Emanuel with us, and do it cautiously and carefully, keeping an eye on those pteros. It shouldn't take too long.

Also, do we have a first aid kit or anything? Had Emanuel been patched up?

>>14200843
Indeed. Let's just give a quick once over of the turbine room, see how big a job this looks to be.

>>14200895
I'm pretty sure he's been bandaged up.

>>14200895

Captain Badass had him bandaged after the raptors were dealt with.

Let's at least have a quick look.

You decide to check out the damage first, and head into the turbine room with a herd of compys following like loyal puppies.

The place is not in good condition. The roof has holes in it, and you can see from the door that the turbines have a lot of rust in them, they're probably cemented in place. Heading down the stairs, you notice the power cable is in pieces, probably from the compys. There's a gas generator in the corner of the room, but it's filled with water. Closely inspecting the turbines, you see that the compys have broken into the machinery inside and made nests, including eggs. As soon as you take a look, some compys come out of the turbines and start hissing and jumping at you.

>>14200981
It sounds like in our considered opinion, restarting this generator would be impossible without replacement parts, a week, and a fully equipped repair team. Correct?

>>14201010

And a DRT team to clean out the compys.

Let's go back to the car, radio Dispatch this analysis after eating some granola bars.

>>14201010

Theoretically, you could get it done by tomorrow. It would be in working condition, but only barely.

>>14201042
...really? Wow. We're a hell of a lot better at this than I thought we were.

Check the emergency storage room on the map for the parts we'd need.

>>14201042

We'd still need a DRT team to clear out these compys. they'll defend their nests aggressively, and we can't repair jack if we're pumped full of nerutoxin.

Call in a request for DRT with this explanation.

>>14201056

The door is rusted shut.

>>14200981
Crap. Let's get a door between us and them.
"Dispatch, this is Porter. I can get the generator up, hopefully by morning, but I need a DRT with as much Compy gas as possible. If they could bring something a little more nutritious than granola bars it'd be great too."

>>14201066
Well, bash it open, then! We're not going to be repairing shit without parts, and we need to know what we have before we know what to ask Dispatch to bring over.

>>14201072

This, but without the food part. I don't think they're gonna deliver us a hot meal, man.

>>14201084
No way, I'm not going back while there are a bunch of angry dinosaurs around.

>>14201113
They could bring us a can of corn or some coffee at least.

>>14201136

Okay, but phrase it as "And if you expect three guys to do the job of the entire maintenance department, you better get some food out here to us at some point."

>>14201124
They're compys. We have a shotgun. As long as we avoid accidentally blasting the turbine, I have little concern about them.

>>14201201

We don't have unlimited ammo, and there are a ton of the little bastards.

I'd rather save the shotgun for when the raptors or dilophosaurs crop up again, and you know they will.

>>14201210
Frankly, tranqs have proven remarkably effective against predator dinos thus far. I suspect that a shotgun would actually have less stopping power against them, since they're almost certainly evolved to take some damage from their prey fighting back.

>>14201072

"*static* Uhh, the Visitor Center and Safari Lodge are having problems with compys, we don't have any teams to spare. You'll have to figure something out on your own."

Make an Athletics check to break open the door.

>>14201262
Problems with compys, my ass. More like problems with raptors. (Radio should be off while making that comment.)

Tell them that we'll try to work through it, but if this building doesn't get sealed and the compys cleared out within a day or two of our repair job, the generator WILL go down again. And we don't exactly have a carpentry team here to fix the giant holes in the place.

>>14201262

This is ridiculous. We can't keep this entire park running with just two Costa Rican workers, one of whom doesn't even speak English!

With the power down, the fences are gonna get a ton of holes. The DRT and Security will be too busy fighting the dinos to cover us as we make any repairs.

We now have no backup of any kind.

The best we can hope to do is get power restored, but how long is that going to last? The guests need to be evacuated. The maintenance crews aren't properly trained to deal with this sort of shit, and there is a conspiracy undermining all our efforts.

>>14201262
Are there any fire hoses around?
We could try to sweep the compies into the river.

>>14201340

Yeah, there's a fire hose.

i say we should check if the waters on and use it to spray the Compys away. and Relocate their eggs.. and if that dosent work.. nothing a lil fire cant handle

Awesome. Anyone else think it's a good idea to try to use it to drive the compies off? If no one else thinks it's a good plan forget it.

>>14201405
It's a fair plan. We might need to repair the gas gen to power the hose, though, and I'd want to make sure that we can run the generator even if it gets soaked- water and electricity don't mix terribly well.

>>14201476
It should work as long as the plumbing works... Is there a bathroom or something we could use to check that?

Well then lets Try the Water First. like i Said if we cant get the water working was can use some fire to scare away the lil buggers and move their eggs down the hall or something

You break open the fire hose casing and test it. Amazingly, this place still has water. You get to work clearing out the compys. They run everywhere as you start washing them out of the room. It takes a while, about half an hour, but you manage to wash them, eggs and all, out into the river. You can see the pterosaurs are happy with this development.

.>>14201559

Sweet, while the pteros are busy eating compys, we run to the car and grab the granola bars out. We bring the whole box in with us, re might be working for a while.

>>14201559
Nice. That went surprisingly smoothly.

Let's step out and grab our food and some flashlights before it gets dark, then bash open the door for parts- get help from the others if we have trouble- and get to work. Remind the others that we've got to work fairly quickly and the compys have been known to eat sleeping people.

>>14201596
Seconded. If we have to sleep, we go to the car.

I suggest we check all the entrances for the building and if possible Cover them up just in case we run into anything Big that would like to eat us. if possible use the Drawers and cabinets. also mark our exits if we need to leave prematurely

>>14201692

Yeah, seal the building as best we can before settling in for a night of work

Yeah, let's make sure that IF something gets curious it can't get in.

You run out and grab the granola bars, along with some flashlights and floodlights. The pterosaurs don't bother you at all.

After getting back in, you scope the place for entrances. You find them at the red dots on the map, they're both on the 2nd level. You don't really have anything you can block them with, though.

>>14201847

Then we just close the doors and lock them. Are there any tables or desks or anything in the office? If so, we use those to block the door into the office

on the way around checking the Area. i guess we can set the file cabinet over one of the doors if not for something to slow anything down. or a early warning system if anything dose get in

Also, can we spot how the compys got in?

>>14201913
problem with the office is that theirs windows on the outside and also the inside so anything can break through bolth sets and get inside easily. Though if their are any blankets in a supply box we can use them to Cover the windows to hide any movement and light coming from the inside

>>14201960

There are some holes in the masonry around the lobby, they probably squeezed in that way.

Lets get to work keep somone on Watch the others keep working..

Oh, and make an Athletics check to break down that door.

rolled 95 = 95

>>14202054
Checkin' those athletics.

so work work work (if i knew how to roll dice i would)

You bash the door with your shoulder and the rust breaks, the door swings open.

Inside are:

-A couple of large liquid tanks
-Replacement turbine machinery
-A bunch of crates, seemingly stacked into a fort.
-Coils of light gauge electrical wire.
-A work bench with tools and schematics for the turbines.
-A couple of tranq rifles sitting in a corner, with a box of twelve darts each.

First we check whats behind the Crates.. then inside from there we check out what we need to do to get the machinery up and runnins

>>14202195

fuck year tranq rifles!

>>14202195
>>14202213

We've already got the tranq pistol, the shotgun, and the magnum.

Ask Juan and Emanuel if they know how to use the rifles.

>>14202209

Behind it you find a skeleton, along with a rocket launcher and a couple of boxes labelled

CAUTION: HIGH EXPLOSIVE

The body is dressed in Maintenance coveralls and hardhat. It has a tranq pistol in a holster at it's side and a note in its hand.

>>14202259
Search him for identification and read the note.

>>14202259

Jesus, a skeleton? How long has he been in here? What was he trying to hide from for that long?

This is why this place is run down. The guy in charge here died a long time ago, and nobody even noticed.

>>14202270

may want to have one of our two buddies hold the door for us, if he died of dehydration/starvation due to being trapped in a closet, we don't want to follow in his footsteps.

>>14202253

They know how to use them.

>>14202270

His ID Card reads

"Isaac Greene"

The note is hard to read, but you can make it out.

" Ryan's dead. I can't believe it. They say it was his fault. Shouldn't have been working on the fences with a sprained leg. They told him to, though. THEY FUCKING TOLD HIM TO! Now he's compy bait. Fuck them, and fuck this place. It's going to hell, I can feel it. And when it does, I'll be nice and safe in here. Nobody's been here since it was taken offline, nice and safe and quiet.

*a pause*

Got everything set up, plenty of MREs and weapons to defend myself. With the huge water tank in here, I'll be just fine.

*another pause*

I'll be fine, nothing to worry about. I'm sure the water tank is just clogged a little, it'll eventually come out.

*another pause*

Oh god, why did I lock the door?! Where is that fucking key?!

*pause*

I can hear it. It's taunting me. When I close my eyes I can hear it dripping, so slowly. But when I look it won't drip. It's playing with me. Enjoying my suffering. So thirsty."

That's all.

hmm Why would he have a Rocket launcher.. hmmm anyhow.. check the crates out and go back to work.. after finding out whats on the note

>>14202357
Well, this guy seems like a paranoid idiot who got himself stupidly killed. Honestly, what a dumb way to die- he didn't even try to blast the door open?

Anyway, we've got our parts now. Let's get to work.

>>14202357

Jesus. Guy cracked under the strain.

Okay, check those crates for the MREs Call Juan and Emanuel over. Give them the rifles, then we all eat one MRE each. The rest we'll take out and pack in the car.

Before we take them out, though, we ask Emanuel what he wants to do with the rocket launcher. I want to make sure he's on board with us, and we won't have a repeat of last time.

Also, it's time to have a little talk with them. Do they know we're all that's left of maintenance?

Are we working now or doing this >>14202416 ?

(1 hour left, then I'm heading to bed)

>>14202416
Also, don't forget to show Emanuel the note, to further underscore that Dispatch can't be fully trusted, but also trying to go it alone or not working as a team will only get us killed.

>>14202505

I say we eat, then have our meeting with J & E, broach the subject of the rocket launcher with Emanuel, then get to work fixing this place.

>>14202505
Work. We can talk while we work, once we get into it.

>>14202530

Sounds good. And don't forget for the next thread, we're taking those damn MREs with us.

>>14202505
Eat an MRE each, give Emanuel the note, make sure he and Juan are on the same page as us, give them the tranq rifles, then we get to work. We need to get the generator running if we want the dinos contained.

You all get together and eat MREs, there's a lot of them in there, you won't have to worry about food if you take the crate.

Emmanuel and Juan are a bit unnerved by Isaac, especially after reading the note.

Juan speaks up.

"Esto es una mierda! ¿Cómo pudieron hacerle eso a la pobre diablo?"

Emmanuel nods.

"Keep the launcher, it'll come in handy."

They each take a rifle and sling it over their shoulders.

You finish eating. What do you want to work on first?

>>14202659
Fix the turbines with the spare parts.

Then we'll replace the primary power conduit.

>>14202659
The man he's learning! Well lets get those turbines up and running.

Make a mechanics check.

rolled 76 = 76

>>14202730
Alright, let's see if I've doomed us all.

Are you guys taking the boxes marked

CAUTION: HIGH EXPLOSIVES

as well?

>>14202745

Let's see what's in it first.

>>14202745
Check out what's inside before taking them.

If they're grenades or something, could be useful. If it's something more like conventional high explosives... what are we going to use those for? There aren't a lot of targets here that we actually want to destroy which would stand still long enough for that kind of thing to work, nor a lot of chokepoints in which to set traps. I mean, I'm sure we could make them useful for killing dinos, but for the most part...

Inside the two boxes are missiles, they are surrounded by foam padding. there are six spaces, but only five of them are in the boxes.

>>14202776
Are they sized for the rocket launcher? Or are they meant for a bigger launcher?
And check that rocket launcher, see if it's a real rocket loaded, or just a tranq rocket.

>>14202776
Yes we'll take it it'll be useful for roadblocks at least Mr. Rex at worst though we should try to get some more of the dart variant. But read the handling instructions FIRST!

>>14202795

They fit the launcher, and there is a missile loaded in the launcher.

Breaking the rust cementing the turbine blades in place takes the longest, and after that the replacement goes smoothly. Just unbolt the rusty ones and replace the bolts and the blades. The turbine blades are shiny and secure. It's now around 8 PM.

>>14202829
lets take a few minutes to read the instructions for the rocket launcher. It would seriously suck if we burned our hands off when we eventually need to use it.

We'll load load the launcher its ammo and the MREs once we get this facility operational again.

>>14202911
Alright, next we need to replace the primary power conduit next. Hopefully that will be enough to get this facility operational.

Well, I'm off for the night. Hope you all had fun. Someone please archive the thread.

Archive completed. Don't forget to vote.

God damn it, Always finding this quest after it's done for the night.

side note: ECW, I'm diggin' the quest. On the rollan' though, I think the averaging of the first few posts to link to your post before your reply would end up being the best. With a 3 max or something?

As for getting ready, I'm sure it's almost dark. Lets get ready and hold up in the office, or another room with fewest entrances, and least amount of cracks. Sleep in shifts, etc.

I also suggest we move the MRE/Rocket Crates in front of the door to this guy's room, if it is the one we use.
