!Wz87.gYWh. 04/08/11(Fri)14:19 No.14522186"You sure?" Sam asks, lingering at the open front door of the Mansion, dangling her backpack back and forth. "OK," she laughs as you promise to make time for her later. "I'M COMING!" she shouts at Ricardo as he hollers something at her from out on the lawn. "God, I hate that guy. OK, have fun."
Sam skips down the steps, leaving you alone in the doorway. Despite the warm spring sunlight that beckons, you close it and head deeper into the Mansion, where you know Dr. McCoy can be found. Indeed, there he is, sitting on a chair in the library with his huge blue-furred feet propped up on a table. A copy of "Theoretical Physics" by a Dr. Richards is nearly dwarfed by his claws.
"Ah, Miss Virta, what brings you to this dreary cavern on the balmy fountainhead of spring?"
It seems that Dr. McCoy is just as eager to join you in the Danger Room as you are - he claps the book shut and springs to his feet in a blink. "To be honest," he says as the two of you walk out of the vacant library, "I've already read it twice."
You've learned the trick that the other students had already figured out - your UMF suit is practically unnoticeable, a second skin, so wearing it under your clothes isn't a problem. Once in the Danger Room you discard your shirt and jeans and ready yourself to press your mutant power to its limit!
"All right," Dr. McCoy says from the observation room some twenty feet above you. "Let's start with a little resistance." A clock appears in front of you, conjured out of nowhere in a beam of dissipating light to rest on a phantom pedestal. "Just one of the perks of this place," McCoy says with humor evident in his voice. "You could pick it up and toss it at the wall, as well. And it would be full of wires and a battery. But I digress. The clock is set to the Mansion's own timekeeping device... I'm putting the initial resistance at ten T-pulses. Let's see what you can do with it."
Roll a d100 if you want to show off, mutie! |
