Your known abilities are:- reinforcing your muscle and bone tissue, making you several times stronger,faster and tougher
- growing weapons from your arms, limited to one on each arm in any combination:a hooked, double edged blade on your forearm, claws or a spike that springs out from your wrist underneath your palm
- hardening your skin into thick,segmented bone plate armor
- absorbing ingested organic material, that you can use to increase muscle and bone density(animal tissue is the most effective)
- the ability to call forth your host's memories, skills and knowledge

You run across the dirty roof of the building, putting everything you have into speed. You leap through the street, landing on a tiled roof on the other side, everything under your feet exploding into shrapnel from the impact. You move as fast as you can, barely sliding to a halt as a massive figure lands ahead of you, towering above you, it's spiked armor glistening sinisterly. It raises it's head towards the sky, a howl rippling forth from a fanged maw, the call answered from the top of a building nearby.As you turn to escape,a faint whirring sound becomes noticable, and infront of your eyes a blurry outline clears out to reveal a vehicle of some sort( a VTOL, whispers Jack) in the sky for a brief moment, before it's spotlights blind you.

Bumping for players

bump

Hello again.

Why must all the quests start so late? (for me, it is 4 am here)

Don't know how long I'll be able to play, but for now...

JESUS FUCK KEEP RUNNING.

Look for a place to duck in and change our appearance to hide. There's no way we'd be able to take these guys out in a straight-up fight.

rolled 13 = 13

>>14918017

I'm torn between evasion and possible assistance. We obviously can't run. I'm guessing since we're armored up, we look just as filthy xeno as the rest of the scum. I say we jump off the rooftop and take our chances on foot. I don't know whether the VTOL people are good or bad, and I think until we figure it out we should just avoid everyone. I'm aware this isn't a great plan of action, but everything seems bad.

I say hard-left. Break for the building edge. If we just vaulted over a street, then there should be alleyways to the left and right. Make for the one on the left (most right handed beings will anticipate a break to the right [their left], buying us an extra quarter second). When we get there, make like we're going to leap/swan-dive down into the alleyway. Instead, cling to the wall, wait for 1.5 seconds, then leap diagonally towards the opposing building's roof so that we land in the far corner. From there, we can gain a lead and keep running.

>>14918169
You bound over the edge of the building, rolling on impact to soften the blow. The vehicle makes a curious whirring sound, as it's front mounted weaponry revs up, spraying the rooftop with bullets. You get to your feet and start to run, the street blurring in your vision. The Warrior, intent on catching you, follows your lead, landing on a car only a few meters behind you.

>goddamned computer is messing with me and closed the browser

The Warriors heavy steps get closer and closer beofre you feint to the right and jump to the left, grabbing hold of the wall of an alley. The creature roars in frustation, charging at you, holding it's right arm forward, the hook-blade on it much larger than the ones you can grow. Before it could reach you, you kick yourself off of the surface, sailing through the night air, landing clumsily on your side on the edge of the roof.
Wat do? Roll for level of succes.
>also, is anyone having trouble linking to other posts? for some reason I can only do it by manually posting it

>>14918372
[A little, yes. And everything is loading slowly. Another DDOS maybe?]

[BTW, is this a d100 quest, d10, or d20? I forget.]

How big is the Warrior? Broad shoulders or thin?

rolled 95 = 95

>>14918372

Hey hey, muscle enhancement is paying off.

Instead of scrambling up the roof, why don't we jump off of it? We can make some good distance with all our strength. Unless it brings us back toward our enemies.

>>14918434
1d100, and the Warrior is a massive figure, more than 3 meters tall, with very broad shoulders, it's arms and legs as large as your torso.

>>14918502
Well that came out sounding stupid, I meant as thcik as both of your tighs. No idea why I wrote torso.

>>14918480
You get to your feet, glancing back towards the Warrior, and see that the other one is locked in combat with the vehicle, periodically unleashing a torrent of bone spikes launched from it's arms. The VTOL answers with it's chaingun, dancing around in the air, unsuccesfuly trying to get out of the way, the air filled with a sound like rain falling on a tin roof as it's hull is littered with spikes. Yo tear yourself away from the sight and leap as far as you can, landing two streets down.
Wat do?

Bumping for a bit, because things have died down pretty fast.

>>14918654
We need to establish ourselves as a friendly to the people with guns. That means distracting the Warrior. Find a projectile to hurl at the Warrior.

You quickly look around, trying to find something solid to throw and deciding on a parking meter. Ripping it out of the ground, you take a few steps and throw it forward with your right like a javeling. It flies straight, propelled by your significant strength, and hits the second Warrior in the small of it's back, making it stumble forward. It looks in the direction the projectilecame from , forgetting itself only for a moment, but that's enough for the vehicle's pilot. The chaingun pours a steady stream of bullets into the creature's side, smashing the armor and ravaging it's body. It falls down to it's knees, but before you could see what happens, you notice the other Warrior leaping towards you from atop a building.
Roll for reaction.

Bumping some more, but if things go on like this, I'll try again later.

rolled 57 = 57

>>14918877
[I'm intermittent at best, so I hope someone else jumps in here.]

Dodge out of the way.

Question: Are there any significant amounts of chemicals left in our host's body from his overdose, or is he 100% clean? Some chemicals can be stored in fat cells and such. Are they purged? And if there are any chemicals left, can we modify the off-hand bone spike weapon to be used as an injector?

rolled 27 = 27

>>14918877

Rolling for a dodge.

what kind of area are we in again? what are our surroundings like?

Welp, I fell asleep, I'll give things a bump. I'm going to study for a bit, quest resumes at 13:00 board time.

>>14921324
Downtown, you are about 100 meters southeast from the club, tall apartment buildings surround you. It's about 01:30 AM.
>>14919071
No drugs left, you purged everything from your system.

Okay people, I'm here. I'd like to see more rolls for >>14918877

Bumping for players.

>>14925234
>>14925125
Forgot my trip.

Bump.

Dodge out of the way, extend wrist spike, and thrust it into the beast's tender parts.

>>14925534
>>14919091
>>14919071
You hurl yourself to the right as the monstrosity flies towards you, propelled by it's enourmous strength. It's blade buries itself into the sidewalk, trapped by the hook on it's end. As you stand up the Warrior's off-hand lashes out towards you, sending you reeling against the window of a shop. The beast pulls at the blade with all it's strength, breaking apart the concrete as it disentangles itself. Cornered, you dash forward, ducking under the incoming blade, and slap both of your hands on it's right knee, your spikes slipping through the joints of the armor, bone shattering under the pressure. You dance bakc, vary of it's weapon, and watch as the puncture wounds start to close, only to become large tears as it tries to put it's weight on the leg. It falls to it's knees, temporarily immobilized.

>seems like today's going to be slow as well...
You morph your arms, the spikes not enough for the job, and go in for the kill, blades lashing out as the Warrior tries to stand up. It falls back to it's needs, raising the off-hand to protect itself from your blows. The armor on it makes your strikes bounce off, and it raises the blade on it's right arm, swiping it at you. In response, frustrated by your ineffectiveness, you vault over him, and plunge your blades into the sides of it's neck, the weapons raising and falling as you make quick work of the creature, it shudders and slopes forward, it's spine severed in multiple places, blood gushing forth from it's wounds.
Wat do? Absorb or not?

>>14926224
>falls back to it's needs

Ment to be knees.

>>14926224
ABSORB

Do we eat its brain and gain it's knowledge? Can we tell if this creature would make a powerful host?

rolled 3 = 3

>>14926250
Whoops, rolling for insight on host potential/background knowledge on race and abilities

>>14926250
You eat the parasitic creature inside it, gaining some of it's knowledge and repairing yourself, gaining abilities. You need a lot of time to prepare for transferring hosts(1-2 days), and it leaves you very weak.

rolled 79 = 79

>>14926262
Well, balls. Absorb him!

>>14926266
That was meant to be the general description of absorptoin as an ability, not the current act.

rolled 96 = 96

>>14926266
Define abilities, I'd like to search his memory banks for orders/intentions, it's homeworld and its view of humans and bodysnatchers.

rolled 28 = 28

>>14926283
Oh. Would he be a viable/powerful host? I think with his projectile attacks/armor, he's got some absorbable powers, but having his body might be advantageous as well.

>>14926289
You shift bakc to the spikes, placing your hands on the Warriors cranium, plunging into it's brain and extending yourself in tentacles to absorb the bodysnatcher inside of it. The torrent of information is different, more primal and simple this time, revealing to you that the Warriors intelligence is more animalistic than the Infiltrators. The connection between bodysnatchers(the voices you heard) seemed to inform them that you are damaged, making an order to remove all imperfect members emerge. The Warrior itself knows very little about the plans or orders of your kin, taking orders directly from something called an Overseer.
(cont.)

>>14926309
The body is heavily damaged, and it's weaponry is based on the abilities of the creature controlling it, they are not inherent.

So, they're trying to purge us...Looks like we'll have to repair our higher functions and keep a low profile. Could this thing see through our disguise, or was it assigned to find Jack Winters specifically?

>>14926381
Also, you could increase your own size if you eat enough. His body is not quite as dense as yours, the size being the only thing that gave it an advantage in stregth.

>>14926394
The Infiltrator you absorbed identified you through the connection\network the bodysnatchers seem to have and sent your location to the others, so they can identify you in close proximity, but not by face.

rolled 78 = 78

For now, we drag the carcass to a secluded part of the alleyway, keep our back to the bricks, and absorb some muscle tissue. We must feed. Is there any more Infiltrator information for us?

Can we still hear the VTOL out there?

bumping for OP

>>14926359
The untainted genetic information flows trough you, repairing and extending the parts concerning your transformative abilities.
Choose three:

Temporary Localized Muscle Mass Increase
(triples your muscle mass in a maximum of two limbs for 1-2 seconds, takes a lot of energy)
Subcutaneous Reactive Armor
(absorbs impact)
Launchable Bone Spikes(single shot)
Launchable Bone Spikes(rapid fire)
(requires single shot)
Improved Weaponry
(All weapon morphs you posess are more lethal)
Epidermal Chromatophore Deposit
(chameleon-like camoflage)
Chemical or Biological Secretion Gland and High-pressure Delivery Channel
(napalm-like substance or drugs\posions spat at high pressure)
(cont. in 10 minutes, my roommate is having a hissy-fit)
(Allows

>>14926576
TENTATIVE choices, until the hissyfit subsides.
Improved Weaponry
Epidermal Chromatophore Deposit
Chemical or Biological Secretion Gland/HPDC
(W/ improved, I'm hoping for acid and sleeping/nerve gas options.)

Let me know if there are other choices to be had, I'll be monitoring this thread.

>>14926576
if that is the entire list then these are my choices.

Launchable Bone Spikes(single shot)
Epidermal Chromatophore Deposit
Chemical or Biological Secretion Gland and High-pressure Delivery Channel

i think getting some ranged attacks will be useful

>>14926576
(Ehh, he was bitching that his girlfriend wouldn't come over to fuck if there was anyone else in the house. Guy would have me out seven days a week just so he doesn't have to ride a bus for 20 minutes to get laid.)
Restructured Leg
(faster running and larger jumps, looks like in the pic)
Combat Tentacle
(grows from the shoulder, allows for one more weapon morph to be active(effectively one more arm for morphing puposes)
Combat Tentacles
(the same, just two of them)
Gliding Wings
>>14926641
The gland can either secrete the napalm or drugs\poisons, currently in liquid form. Sorry if it was awkwardly worded.

>>14926641
I agree with this decision so far, and I don't think we need ranged weapons so much at the moment, we could just use a gun for that. It may not be as good/reliable, but I believe our own combat is more focussed around close quarters.

rolled 12 = 12

>>14926764
Okay, so there is no improvement to other fluids/formats with the Improved weapons feat.

I'll still go with >>14926641, so we can go all Assassin's Creed up in this mufugguh. Single shot weapon doesn't seem like it's that necessary atm.

>>14926764
FFFFUUUU, Captcha ate my pic

>>14926803
Improved weapon would only increase the velocity\potency of the liquid.

Highest roll decides.

rolled 51 = 51

>>14926641
rollan

>>14926576
I'd go for:
Chem/bio secretion system. (Our host's experience with drugs should be an indication that fellow infiltrators are vulnerable to certain chemicals. A combination heroin, LSD, and muscle relaxants should be ideal in dealing with other organic enemies)

Subcutaneous reactive armor (hidden protection so we don't have to armor-up in public would be nice)

and Improved Weapons, so we're not quite as outclassed.

rolled 52 = 52

>>14926878
rolling.

rolled 48 = 48

>>14926878
But it's ONE to TWO seconds, man! Let's just do stealth camo, we're not a tank, we're a stealth build. Tripling our muscle mass will definitely draw attention.

rolled 91 = 91

>>14926716

>>14926923
I agree, the muscle boosts are counter-productive. That's why I suggested a poison injector, weapon augmentation, and subcutaneous armor. Better consistent, persistent benefits than a temporary boost.

rolled 81 = 81

>>14926985
Oh, shit, my bad. I rolled a 91 to stop the 2-sec boost to muscles. Your plan is good.

>>14926887
You shiver as the blades on your arms grow, extending a good 40 centimeters from the tip of your fingers, their edge keener than any sword. A thin partition grows under the armor, filled with a liquid that hardens on impact, and a muscular tube grows inside your throat, ending in a small hole on your palete. Suddenly, gunshot filled the night, as the Infiltrators inside the car you saw open fire on the VTOL as it turns towards then. The chainsaw rips the car alongside it's passangers to shreds, a second too late to prevent one of them from firing off a shoulder-mounted RPG! The missile slams into the VTOL, ripping of one of it's propellers, sending it plumeting onto the club's roof, the earth shaking from the meeting of the craft and building. Over the sound of the crash, you hear sirens in the distance.
Wat do?

Epidermal Chromatophore Deposit - To go all ninja on shit

Improved Weapons - Because we seem pretty inferior to those warriors

Restructured Leg - Because we're doing a whole lot of running

>>14927026
>gunshot filled the night
Should read gunshots fill the night. Ehh, I should proofread my posts properly.

rolled 12 = 12

Stay close, but not too close. If the police arrive, I'm an innocent spectator. Let's see what we can learn about these VTOL's, while keeping far enough away from any surviving Infiltrators.

>>14927064
You would need to be on one of the rooftops to get a better look on the VTOL, you can only see the undamaged wing\propeller from the street.

rolled 82 = 82

What are we waiting for? The police will be here soon, let's try to salvage what we can from the wreck, especially weapons or intel, then check for intact parasites to absorb. At the first sign of trouble, just whip out your cellphone and pretend to be calling 911.

>>14927145
Okay, is there a ladder nearby, or should we take the stairs?

>>14927148
why not use our new camo abilities?

>>14927159
What would freak the police out more, some scared guy calling the cops on the scene of a horrifying accident, or some creepy son of a bitch who turns invisible and flees the scene?

>>14927148
agreed. De-armor and try to scavenge what we can from the wreck.

>>14927152
You can see a fire escape that you could climb, or you could simply jump up, grab for some puchase, and climb on the face of the wall.

>>14927169
The second option is faster but more visible, to make it clear.
>>14927183
From the soud of it, the police should arrive in a few minutes, 4 at the most.

>>14927169
I don't mean for once the cops arrive, i mean for whilst we're searching the wreck. We don't want to risk being spotted, even if it's unlikely.

>>14927183
Climb fire escape, de-armor, run to the ship. Damage report! Can we enter the ship?

Yikes, with 4 minutes, I'd say activate camo, climb up, and then basically try to get in the ship.

>>14927199
Wait just a minute. We don't even have camo. Crap.

>>14927220
The camoflage is most efficient when remaining still, the change of it's colour not all that fast, takes a 2-3 seconds to properly match with the enviroment.

>>14927230
Oh, even I forgot that.

>>14927252
I was under the impression we didn't have camo. We went with Magus' idea. In any event, speed is crucial, so we'll climb with or without camo. from the rear of the club so as to avoid being seen from the street.

bump

You reabsorb the bone-plates, the reactive armor remaining under your skin as you make your way to the fire escape. The street is devastated, with holes in the pavement and sidewalk, cars with their roofs smashed all around, and the Infiltrators car standing gutted in the middle of the road. You climb as fast as you can ,listening to the sirens of the police cars approaching. Pulling yourself up to the roof, you can see the VTOL, dented and filled with spikes, lying there.You can tell that it's clearly human-made. As you approach it, a doar blasts open by the cockpit, a man in a military uniform stumbling out, ripping his helmet off. He looks up, his eyes opening wide as he sees you, immediately pulling his sidearm out, pointing it at you. "Don't move! Identify yourself! Who the hell are you?"

We have 3 options, the way I see it.
Flee and recuperate.
Hunt for more Infiltrators to absorb.
Ingratiate ourselves to the heavily armed paramilitary personnel who went down in the club.

Personally, I vote we make friends with the guys with big guns.

>>14927337
"The guy who gave you a fighting chance back there. You want to get tied up with the cops, who might already be infected, or do you want to be somewhere else?"

"HOLY SHIT DON'T SHOOT OMG! I'm JACK WINTERS I live in XY are you alright!? I saw your chopper go down, do you need an ambulance?"

Can we prepare a sedative secretion for our palmspike? I want to be vewwy sneaky.

rolled 54 = 54

>>14927373
See, we're supposed to be a citizen. We can learn a lot more from the salvage than we can from a Man with Orders. We should be harmless, get his guard down, and knock him out put him in the cockpit for the cops to find after we're sone rummaging around.

>>14927439
They already know there's a rogue infected around, and they're not going to buy that an ordinary citizen didn't run screaming from a military helicopter with a chaingun firing at monsters in the street. Our cover is already blown. At least make him think we're a rogue on his side.

>>14927383
You can restructure the dilevery tube to be at any point of your body, so you could have the spike end in a needle-like hollow. But if you wnat to bullshit him, you should roll te see how convincing it is.

rolled 12 = 12

Mgus, let's roll for what to do. I say we bullshit him and knock him out.

>>14927492
No need to roll. I'll go along, if you agree to wire the toxin gland into the combat spike.

>>14927492
Shit.

>>14927512
>>14927492
Sedative, or what?

rolled 95 = 95

>>14927512
Agreed. Alrighty, Brain, we hook the gland into our palmspike, while keeping it retracted. We react in terror (see earlier post) and explain that we only wanted to see if there was anyone we could help. Ask him if anyone needs medical help in the chopper. Oh, and ask him what he was shooting at.

rolled 74 = 74

>>14927533
Yeah, sedative. Strong, but nonlethal.

>>14927542
"Holy shit man, don't shoot, don't shoot! Fuck, I just saw your plane or whatever go down and wanted to help. Anyone hurt in there? Should I call an ambulance?"He looks at you, still suspicous, but clearly convinced by your act, and lowers the gun. He puts a hand against his temple, and says in a weary voice"No, Ferguson was the only one beside me, and he got hit by one of those spike-thingies. Dead as a doornail, the poor bastard. Right through the head, never stood a chance." You step closer, the spike and tube forming in your forearm. "What were those things? Never seen anything like 'em." you say, sounding scared. Hearing this, he seems to realize that you are a civilian. "None of your business, kid. You don't want to know, trust me." He sits down, slumping against the wreckage of the downed aircraft.

>>14927605
You can also see that the VTOL probably isn't the one Jacks friend mentioned, as it is too small in comparison to what he described.

rolled 69 = 69

>>14927605
"So...Are you guys, like, Air Force? Spec Ops? Seal Team 6? I play a lot of black ops, but I've never seen a chopper like this."

Moving a little closer. Can I make out an insignia? How far are we from this guy?

>>14927636
Two meters from you. There is no insignia on the vehicle apart from a number designation on it's side.
"No one you ever heard of." he says. He doesn't seem to sport much identification on himself either, a number and a designation as lieutenant the only thing his unifrom has.

>>14927636
"I'd be surprised if some video game had something like this. Forget you ever saw it, should make your life easier."

rolled 66 = 66

"And these SPIKES, man!"

Moving to one meter, just a bit past his slumped shoulders to touch the protruding spikesat do I feel?

"Fucking WEIRD SHIT, sir. WEIRD SHIT inDEED. I heard noises. Howls. Did you see it? Did these spikes shoot down your chopper? Doesn't look like they could fuck up your ship that bad."

>>14927712
Spam.

>>14927709
The spike is smooth, heavier and harder than normal human bone.
"What? Nah, these little things couldn't hurt this stuff" he says with a smile, banging on the hull."Bleeding edge, future-tech metal, 30 years ahead of anything else, worth a lot more than it looks.No, some fucker shot the rotor with a rocket launcher, blow it clean off."

"Some random fucker with a rocket launcher? You guy's don't seem to have many friends. What brought you to my favorite club?"

must...resist...urge....to strike!!!

>>14927812
He looks up at you, with annoyance written plainly on his face. "Stop mucking around kid. The whole thing is government property, spikes and all. Just siddown and shuddup, shouldn't have told you anything. Let's pretend that that's what happened, because otherwise a world of hurt is waiting for you. Mums the word."

rolled 97 = 97

>>14927846
"Alright, alright, you've got orders. Wouldn't want to get either of us in trouble."

I sit down next to him, my hands clasped, resting my elbown on my legs for 15 seconds. Silence. I pretend to yawn, raise my right arm , and PLUNGE the needle into the right side of his neck, using my left arm to pin his arms to his sides. Attack roll.

rolled 88 = 88

>>14927875
Now, let's crack this tin can. I want cellcam pictures of every dash, pedal and knob in the ship, confiscate both sidearms of the crew, put this dick back in his pilot's seat, and search for any intel/salvagable comm or weapon tech. I'll also steal a spike. Look through the cargo compartments.

Bumping for interest. Also, what's the current situation outside the vehicle? Are the cops closing in yet?

>>14927905
>>14927875
You sit down, enjoying the balmy night air, and see your moment when he puts his palm over his eyes, trying to relax. You strike, quick as a snake, the spike retracted before he knows what happened. He looks at you, and only gets as far as "Wha" bfore he goes limp, his eyes unfocusing. You check that he's still breathing, and carry him back to the cockpit, placing him in his chair as naturally as you can. Satisfied, yu look around, taking pictures of everything you find remotely interesting. His co-pilot is, as he said, dead, pinned to the chair by a spike that ran his head through. The instruments are foreign to you and Jack as well though, so you check the compartment behind, finding some kind of machine that is connected to the craft, filling the whole 2x2x2 space. It looks to be a strange mix of technology, obviously incorporating parts that seem to be similar to the machinery the cyborg drone you killed had.You can hear that the police has arrived, someone already shouting orders at a crowd on the street.
Wat do?

>>14927979
>forgot to add this part
Looking at the spikes, you pick a smaller one, pocketing it before you haul the pilot's body into the VTOL.

rolled 69 = 69

>>14927979
Well, it's only 2 feet cubed...Can I lift the mahine? Does it look like an engine? Are there any manuals, repair guides, warning labels, or barcodes? Let's take pix and do research at a better time.

>>14927999
>Derp, left out something from this one as well.
Riflingthrough the pilots' pockets, you find a spare clip for each of their pistols, deciding to take them as well as their sidearms.

>>14928018
2 cubic meters, dude, Should've made that clear, but I've benn only using metric with the exception of food. It's clearly not the engine of the craft, as that is behind it in another compartment. You take some pictures of it, noticing that it consists of two seperate machines, connected to some device wholely alien in desing.

>>14928058
>forgot my trip
There are no signs or marks on it.

rolled 40 = 40

>>14928058
And there are no buttons, levers, or interactive components?

>>14928084
There is a single openable panel on both machines. Otherwise, they seem to be connected to the instruments in the cockpit.

rolled 34 = 34

I open the panel on the wholly alien machine, readying my cell camera.

>>14928128
Sorry if it wasn't clear, but the panels are on the mixed tech machines connected to the alien device.

rolled 27 = 27

>>14928140
B'okay. Same deal, mixed tech device closest to the cockpit.

You wrench the panel off, revealing a series of what seem to be diagnostics devices. It seems to be still operational, a small screen displaying the machines condition, alongside a small message, reading "No massed ETLF-C2 signals detected."You can hear a door opening, accompanied by the sound of helicopter in the distance.

You run back to the cockpit and jump outside, seeing two policemen standing in the door leading into the building."Hey you, who-" You run to the fire escape, the soeed of your reinforced muscles making you a blur. "What the fuck!" one of them says, while the other shout"Freeze!", taking a shot at you when he sees that you won't stop. The bullet ricochets from the edge of the building as you start climbing down, a crowd becoming visible in the street, kept in check by several cops.

Rolls for controlled fall and the landing

Yeah, it appears I'm the only one here. :(

>>14928387
You jump off, blades sprouting from your forearms mid-air. You try to use the hooks on their ends to slow your fall, the course brick of the building making them bounce of again and again. The ground seemingly flying to meet you, you kick off the wall, soaring through the air, catching a glimpse of the two policemen looking at you from the roof,dumbstruck. You land a good 10 meters beyond the last police car, blades already retracted, turning a roll into a blindingly fast sprint. By the time anyone on the ground would realize your presence, you are far gone, already a block down the street.
Wat do?

>>14928470
Hmmm. Shoulda stayed a bit longer to check out the computers. For now.... Let's change into a hoodie, alter my hosts facial structure, and rejoin the crowd. The police can't hope to move a downed bird from a roof, they're just maintaining order. We'll let them until we need a way in. What model are the sidearms I stole?

Good, I have a better idea. Having changed my appearance, I approach a cop holding the crowd back.

"Sir, I think there's something you need to see. I know the location of one of the things that brought down that chopper. Is there, like, a reward if it's still alive? It's still just barely breathing."

>>14928694
You sneak into an alley, watching out for anyone who might see you. Reassured that you are alone, you shift the bones in your face, making the jawline and the forehead more prominent, increasing the size of the lips and ears, and increase the amount of melanin in your skin. You walk out into the street, looking like a young african-american man. Making your way back to the crowd, you approach one of the cops, a fifty year old man with a five O'clock shadow and baggy, resentfull eyes."Officer, sir, you have to see something. I found this thing, like the one that brough down that chopper there. It's hurt bad, but it's still alive. Is there a reward or something?" You say with a look that's supposed to be hopeful. He obviously doesn't like what he sees, but he says with resignation"Stay here, son, I'll be back in a minute." He turns around, and walks to a tall man in a suit who is arguing with some of the policemen. You glance quickly into the window of a shop beside you, and see that your altered features are somehow subtly wrong in their proportions. Perhaps the policeman's distrustfull reaction was partly due to this.

>>14928814
He returns with the tall man and two of his colleagues."This is Agent Jacobs, who is in charge of, well, whatever the hell is going on here. You got something to say, say it to him." There is an obvious dislike in his voice, and his colleagues share an angry look behind the agents back. Seems like Agent Jacobs is not very well liked.

They seem to believe you, slightly relaxing."Don't fret it, son, we understand.Excuse me, I have to make a call." He walks away and takes out a phone, talking into it for a few seconds. After about 2 minutes, a military helicopter lands in the middle of the street, disgorging nine soldiers, armed to the teeth. They salute the agent, following him as he returns."now, would you lead us to this creature?"

Did I see where the first one fell? I'm not sure I want my alley full of soldiers...

>>14929331
Yes, it's in front of a store, about 40 meters from you. You can see some soldiers around it, and some people in hazmat suits doing something with it.

>>14929331
Okay, I just realized that you ment the one with the spikes. Atop the building next to the club.

>>14929360
Shit. I'll lead them into the alley, to the dumpster I left the corpse behind. Can my High Pressure toxin dispersal work for spraying multiple targets?

>other players:
Whaddya think, guys? We need to get back to that vertibird, and this is looking pretty dangerous. We need a strong plan.

Ha ha, are we actually getting paid for killing the other aliens? 'Cause that would be sweet, sweet payback for them throwing us out like last week's trash.

>>14929373

Are we worried that they're going to figure out we're a shapeshifting alien too? I'm a little confused as to what we're trying to accomplish here.

I just dropped in to this quest after a long work day, so I may have missed something skimming through the rest of the thread.

>>14929365
Yeah, we have a bladed corpse we absorbed in the alley, and the one atop the adjacent building to the club. Correct?

>>14929398
Basically, there's 2 cops guarding a downed helicopter with an alien device in it. I wanted to kill a cop in this alley and take his uniform, but this asshole bought 9 marines with him.

>>14929403
Yup. It skipped my mind that you dragged it away, so disregard.>>14929360
>>14929398
Don't worry, I have no clue what's the goal here either.

>>14929426

Well then don't kill him. Let's just play out our role as an civilian taking them to the site of the crash and the subdued aliens, and then we can find an easier target somewhere else afterwards.

>>14929373
It can, you can hit a target accuretly at about 10 meters at the moment, and you could just hose them with it.

>>14929453
For my information, can the toxins be absorbed through the skin, or do they have to be injected, like the sedative?

"Right this way, then sir"
I lead them to the corpse.

>>14929453

The only thing I'd worry about with doing that is if it will work fast enough to take out the entire squad before they open fire on us. We're not dealing with mall rent-a-cops here, these guys are the real fucking deal and they will probably not hesitate to light our ass up if we suddenly turn on them.

>>14929490
Yeah, I had that in mind. Good to know, though.

>>14929484
You can make contact poison, of course.
>>14929490
Well, you have a lot of defensive upgrades, specifically a half-inch boneplate and sub-cutaneous shock-absorbant reactive armor.You can probably shrug off medium caliber FMJ bullets with ease.

>>14929518

Hmm, good point, but are we skilled enough with our weapons to take down the entire squad at once in addition to that?

Plus, I would really like to get on these guys' good side, seeing as we're both after the same thing right now, killing alien invaders.

Y'know, just ones that happen to be not us.

>>14929484
You lead them to the alley, and point at the corpse."There you go, now about that reward..." "We'll talk about it later. Come on, people, what are you waiting for? There's a perimeter here that needs securing. Hop to it." They fan out, three standing by each end of the alley, the rest going with the agent as he walk to the body of the Warrior. He looks at it in puzzlement, and asks"And what exactly did you kill this thing with again?"

>>14929545
That's not even the point. There are too many police and marines that would be drawn to the sound of gunfire. Better to perform the task and see if we can get up another way.

>>14929564
What, you can't see the bullet holes? Should be six in his chest ond two between the eyes. Fucker didn't go down easy."

Just say we were exagerrating, hoping for a reward before they checked it out, and that it was dead when we found it. Better than bluffing about killing it "wit our gat"

>>14929564
Repeat our story, but throw in a minor inconsistency or two. When he calls us out on it just admit that we found it in that state.

Our top priority right now should be gathering information.

"I, well, okay, so I just found it here like that, sorry." He looks at you with a piercing glare, his face menacing in the dim light of the alley. Finally he let's up, and nods. "It's allright son, at least you were honest in the end. No reward for you though. Now," he says, taking you by the arm and pulling you with him as he steps out to the street, " you'll have to sign this paper here, that legally binds you not to talk about any of this to anyone. Got it?" He waves to a man, who walks to you and pushes a stack of papers into your hands. "Greg here will tell you what to write and where." He walks away, putting on a headset.

2)Military clearance
3)If they want him back, they can have him. his memories will be intact, and we can join the human resistance against the alien invaders.

>>14929849
Don't we take in his memories though?

We should've asked the guy what that thing was before he walked away.

>>14929857
Hard to tell, he wears civilian clothing, so he could be either. A tweed suit to be exact.

Wait, how can we get his memories and voice? Because if we can, then shit yeah, get him by himself and do it. But I don't remember seeing that as a power we have access to.

>>14929921
His body will naturally have a comforatble vocal tone, and yeah, we can access our host's memories. This stupid junkiie host fried all his memories, so having a host with a functioning brain will come in handy.

>>14929881
Resistance...... Can we tweek our toxin gland to produce something that would prevent a bodysnatcher from getting a foothold? Something that would block it or give a person a natural resistance to infection? Because if we can, we just became the number one drug supplier to the US military. If we revealed ourself as a friendly, we could come out of this with Secret Service protection, a presidential pardon (for being an invader), and a lot of cash.

whoa. Not sure. I like the idea, but I have a feeling we can also have the potential to recover our orders and do sinister awesome things, too.

>>14929944
Or they might decide to lock you up and dissect you for science. Our primary advantage right now is that they don't know about us. I say we work our way into a position of trust and prove ourselves reliable before making any reveal.

>>14929921
You could do it at a later time in theory, though the unbonding process takes two days. Maybe the confusion stems from absorbtion giving you access to some information. That only works on other bodysnatchers though.

Yeah, if we reveal that we're an alien bodysnatcher (albeit, one that'd NOT working for the main invading hivemind), we'll be hauled off for research in the blink of an eye. We need to keep our identity under wraps for now.

>>14929985

If unbonding takes two days, then we'll need a way to find somebody who won't be missed for that period of time to take over (Or hold them hostage for two days, transfer ourselves, then get ourselves rescued with no one the wiser... Hmm...)

Dude, I'm SYRLIB. Are we gaming tonight in the Game of Nations?

Note: If we want to switch hosts, we can subdue the potential victim, then leave the victim tied up on one side a table.
Lie down on the other side, heads touching, or better, earholes touching.
Transfer.

Once done, convert the prior host's body into mass.

Since this takes a while, I'd rather do this to characters that can be seen missing for a couple of days, or at least there is a plan to counter that (use face/voice to get leave or something).

Regarding last upgrade, I would have loved to have that triple muscle booster. That's a two-second boost that increases limb power, not something that permanent disfigures the host.
- Can't pierce the tough hide of this tank (organic or metal)? Juice up, punch through.
- Being chased and can't seem to shake the enemies? Power your legs, increase gap to plan for something else.
It's rather good for desperate acts.

Wait. So we can change our appearance right? Does this include being able to change sex? Can we make ourselves an anatomically correct female?

Also, I do not think there is any use of whisking Greg or killing him right now.

That pilot though, damn, missed a chance there.

On the other hand, though, I do not think we'd really get that enough down time from either the machine drones (who seemed to be providing/being used by the government) or the polymorphing bodysnatching invaders.

Vote for now, leave with computer... And if we got the chance, memorize the shit of the general facial features and voices of both Greg AND Agent Jacobs, who certainly have better security access.

We can certainly use them as throwaway features. And can I get an answer of whether all Infiltrators have the ability to shapechange?

The Infiltrators can alter their appearance, switch between hosts like you, and grow wristspikes. This is the extent of their abilites as far as you know.

>>14930840
Yes you can, though this is the hardes\lenghtiest alteration.

>>14930919
If we can get to the bird, though, we can steal the pilot, learn more about the machine, and further the glory of the Junkie Empire. Obviously, we need a grunt.

>>14930961
So all "BUT WHO WAS GREG" will be thrown against the Infiltrators in the end, not against a rogue bodysnatcher. Still, it's best that we never expose ourself to either side. Government got something going on with the machine drones, better wait till we get a general idea of the connection and why the machines hate us in first sight.

Vote?

>>14930986
Vote on what? :S

Going with these for now:
>>14930679
>>14930498
You sing all the forms, focusing on remebering the name you made up."Thank you, we really appreciate your patriotism. What, your phone?I,I'll come with you and tell the guards to let you in, it's the least I can do."
(cont.)

>>14930996
WHO WAS GREG or laying relatively low, I think,

>>14930870
>>14930901
Actually, now that I think about it, the plan may be unnecessary. I was thinking we shapeshift into a stunningly gorgeous female, get close to one of the numerous young males in the military (Preferably somebody a little higher up who's in the know), seduce him, convince him to call in sick with the promise of a two day sex marathon, then tie him up and take over.

Then it occurred to me that we could simply tie him up, imitate his voice to call in sick, then proceed.

Still, I think there might be something in shapeshifting into a girl to lower people's suspicions. A black gangbanging drug dealer doesn't exactly inspire confidence and trust.

>>14930998
Count the guards as we walk in. List locations on each floor we go on.

>>14931011
He's not a gangbanging drug dealer, he's just Eal Sweatshirt with 3 berettas.

>>14930986
But that will still make them guard against it. It doesn't matter who the intended target is; your abilities are the same, so any countermeasures are going to affect you equally.

>>14930974
They'd be swarmed with people right now. I not certain our speed is up to par against city wide search by choppers, while carrying an agent, who might or might not be tracked (see my name).

>>14930996
Vote for what action to be taken right now, I meant.
Really kill Greg, get to the downed bird and get the unconscious pilot (maybe on medical treatment now instead of by the bird), go rampage and eat everyone, move away with loot, or even go home and attempt to turn into a female to get a lesbian harem waifu ending, which I am certain some anons would vote for...

Personally, unless we vote to risk grabbing someone right now, our second best bet is memorizing facial features and voice of a high ranker here and high tail it out.

rolled 14 = 14

>>14931060

>voting for:
Memorize and GTFO

>>14931047
That is true. But on the other hand, would the Infiltrator not do the same attempts anyway?

This is just an option to shift any blames that might be incurred against us while Shapechanged to the still Hivemind Infiltrators.

rolled 8 = 8

>>14931060
Agreed. Not sold on the usefulness of just a face and voice (Can I see your ID, sir?), but it's too risky to do anything else right now.

>>14931032
>>14931090
Unsure of what you meant here. Kill/sedate (always nice to have this 'safe' non-harmful option) Greg, shapechange, walk out of store to chopper, loot/whatever, walk back to store, leave area as the 'high nigga' again?

Seems safe.

>>14931103
Conversely, any blame the Infiltrators get might also be shifted onto you. The infiltration tactic can only be actively used as long as the enemy isn't aware of it (Everybody starts getting a daily checkup, no more opportunities to get in). I think there's some time before they figure it out, so until then, we should just exploit our opportunities as best as we can without setting off alarms.

rolled 30 = 30

>>14931148
Right! Basically, we could just bluff and say Agent --- wanted us to file a damage report on the craft and debrief the pilot. We get to take notes on the machine, we can abduct the pilot, we hop across the rooftop to safety, or something.

It's pretty safe, and it's got my vote. Who's with me?

So three votes for GTFO, and one for checking out the chopper?

>>14931172
We are not sure the extent of the Goverment knowledge of the Bodysnatchers. Paranoia nibbles on my toes, but still, Shapechanging is always an option.

A dangerous one, of course, but most options are.

Regarding us a faction/agent/unit to be blamed at, they need to know that there exists a rogue Infiltrator first.

I believe Shapechange is best utilized for going past low security obstacles, public assassination, or for fleeing into a crowd.
For getting better clearance, it is best to swap host and get the full benefit.

>>14931195
Getting Pilot out is risky, judge situation first. Is he surrounded by medics? How is the area cordoned? How many choppers are still up in the air right now?

If it is doable... We are still True Neutral, right? Kidnap the pilot and later swap host with him.

Regarding bird, didn't we already gotten some pics out of the downed bird's machinery and a computer/drive/engine thingie? I am not sure what else we could jack out of it.

Voting to do the sedate-shapechange-checkout first. Then choose actions with better intel.

Come on people, I'm running out of time here, I have about an hour before I need to start packing my shit, I have to get ready for a DH game.

>>14931300
Okay, I'm sounding like a whiny, passiv-agressive little bitch here. I meant that if you could decide the vote, we could get things moving, and a good finale for this installment quest would be possible.

>>14931339
>for this part of the quest
Yeah, kinda losing my coherency here.

rolled 82 = 82

>>14931293
Let's do this. We can sedate geg after we watch him let us in. Remember the passcode, bing him back and sedate. Count guards. If the pilot is still there, so much the better. other than that, kill the roof guads and fuck wth the screens on the foreign machinery. Learn what we can.

btw, waiting for the continuation of >>14930998

>>14931372
Was just waiting for you guys to decide what you want to do, also
>>14931354
What passcode? I don't remember any passcode.

>>14931387
Well, I just figured if thee was anything he says to the guards to get them to let him through, we should be mindful of that as he lets us in to retrieve"our cell phone". So let's go, as we enter the building, how many guards do I see?

>>14931354
Kill? Now I question that. Whatever for?

Also, if Agent Jacobs is on the roof, grab him instead of the Pilot.

>>14931410
Fine. If they let us play with the shiny onboard toys, their lives may be spared. Also, Jacobs would be a great catch- good idea.

>>14931409
You walk to the entrance of the club, where two of the soldiers stand guard. Greg waves at them and they salute in response and stand aside.As you step inside, he turns to you and says "Just hurry, okay? It's supposed to be a secure area." You can see several soldiers patrolling the building with the people in hazmat suits, checking every nook and cranny.

>>14931450
There are four soldiers by the stairs that lead to the roof, and 12 searching the rooms inside in groups of two for every one hazmat-dude.

>>14931450
Ask Greg if the 'serious G-dude' is in the club.

rolled 21 = 21

>>14931450
Sure thing, Greg sir. I was on the second floor, won't be long.

Are there any supply closets on the second floor? White Knight, you thoughts on an accelerated plan.

>>14931482
"I think he is on the roof.Why? Do you need to talk to him?"

rolled 9 = 9

>>14931488
Disregard that, I suck cocks. We can pretend to finid the phon, return with Greg, sign his papers and sedate him.

>>14931488
'I, I'm not sure it's okay to go up there. The roof got wrecked, it's supposedly dangerous."

how many floors in the building

>>14931535
2 for the club, 3 more for apartments\offices.

>>14931516
>>14931501
Okay, do we dare pick up Jacobs with all the other soldiers and hazmat guys around?

We can also sedate Greg somewhere in the club, strip him, shapechange, and walk to the roof. There, call upon Jacobs with 'serious business, need to attend soon'. If Jacobs falls for it, take him back to somewhere in the club with window access, sedate him, and leave with him in tow.

I do not think we have the chance to look at the bird anymore.

>>14931563
The club is currently full of people, if I may remind you. 22 On this floor alone. Just saiyan, plan accordingly.

>>14931596
>>14931551
My trip. It fell off.

rolled 48 = 48

>>14931563
Take Greg to the second floor. Kill him and bury him in wreckage, or sedate him and leave him in a toilet stall. Either way, it's the best plan.

"AW, f'real? Cause them Alcatel's ain't cheap, these things really set a nigga back, knaamean? Listen Greg, real talk. I know I was in the baffroom textin' my bitch when all this went down. Let's just go up, play it safe, and I'll pay you for your, like, curtsy."

bump because bump

>>14931702
I'm fairly sure we'rre autosaging. I'll be back in five, would appreciate if you and P(&P)WK and anyone who might still be here would decide on the whole murder or sedate thing.

I'm fine w sedation+leavning him on the toilet. Thoughts, White Knight?

>>14931761
My thoughts: How jampacked is the club (and associated apartments)? Will there be a soldier in each room? Wouldn't want a soldier/hazmat guy walk in as we are stripping the pants off Greg's sunshunned arse.

This might be BiaJ's attempt to move us away from kidnapping a guy and infodumping so early.

If it is possible to do, I am all for it.

>>14931832
It's possible, of course, there isn't a soldier for every room. And I'd like to think I'm not railroading, merely trying to make the world consistent\logical.

rolled 17, 12 = 29

welp, that's what we'e doing. Once I get him up there, I'll close the door behind hiim, readying my sedative spike.

I'll say "Oh hey, there's my phone"

When he looks, I'll slam the spike into his throat, flooding his veins with sedatives.

"Let me know when you want your finder's fee"

rolled 70, 64 = 134

bump, you know the plan from here

>>14931870
Shit, you're going to kill him. I think its safe to assume your sedatives will work without having to directly hit a blood vessel.

>>14931616
"Really? Okay then, I guess it couldn't hurt to look."He goes to the soldiers and tell's them that he'll escort you to the second floor, and heads up. You follow him, preparing your sedative spike. There are only 2 more soldiers up here, guarding the stairs to the next floor. He opens the door and walks in, and looks under the stalls."Are you really sure it's here, I don't see it anywhere arou-" You put your palm against his neck, letting the spike slip in lightly under his skin, injecting the sedative quickly, then pulling it back. Roll for sedative!

rolled 74 = 74

>>14931934
Rollan

>>14931870
Ouch, not a very good roll. Three highest counts, btw, just there never usually was three of them.

>>14931958
Oh, so you roll 3 times for combat? I'm confused.

>>14931980
No, if there are more than three players(as ideally ther should be) than the three ideas\actions that roll the highest decide what happens.

>>14932034
>>14931989
>>14931949
He looks up at you, confused, at stays like that for a second, before dropping down. The sound is magnified by the echo of the room, and one of the guards asks shouts from the ned of the hallway"Is everything alright in there?" You can hear his steps approaching, and almost panic. You shout out in Greg's voice "I, uh, I slipped.Everything's okay, hunky dory." They seem to believe you, and return to their posts. You quickly strip Greg and put on his clothes, stuffing him into one of the stalls, prpping him up so his legs don't show underneath. You reshape yourself, bones and soft tissue shifting to recreate his appearance. When you are done,you take a critical look in the mirror, but this time you had something to base it on, and it looks passable.
Wat do?

Hey Brain, can we continue this tomorrow?

It's 2:30 am over here, I love your thread but I must sleep. Also, where is this all archived?

I'm lurking, but mainly because we seem to have gone full retard.

Well, it's as good a point as any to stop. I'll archive it in a jiffy. Also, it's almost 9 am here, so yeah, interesting night for me.

rolled 93 = 93

Head to the roof
BEELINE fo the VTOL
if Jacobs is there, pretend to have been looking fo him, having just finished the disclosure forms with Tyrone.

>>14932143
If you think it has gone too far on what ever side, comment, and post your opinion and suggestion.
If you never do, chances are that the quest would go in the direction you don't like, and you'd leave the quest in its entirety.

Playing a quest alone or just with 2-3 people sucks.

Archive hear: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Bodysnatcher+Quest
I'll try to make it tonight, 14:00 Board time okay with you guys?

Also, any input\criticisim is welcome.

Oookay, complete lack of response, I'll be back around 18 PM-ish instead, should be able to get some rest.
