Urban: Start with a large, gutted building with doors and windows boarded up, no reliable food sources.

Rural: Start with a small farm, less hostiles nearby, few places to scavenge.

Desert: Start with scarce water, scarce food, lots of space to build, more military and scientific locations nearby.

Forest: Start with nearby game and plentiful wood, monsters lurk the forests.

Island: Start in relative safety, fish are plentiful but irradiated, few nearby locations.

Military Base: Start with small armory, reinforced buildings, old intelligence archives, MRE and ammunition stockpile, and tiny nuclear generator, but no reliable food source and attractive raiding target.

Science Lab: Start with extensive underground complex, scientific material to speed research, and experimental surface solar farm, but dangerous things lurking in some deeper labs.

Vault: Start with extensive underground complex, lots of raw materials, a geothermal spike, and a hydroponics lab.

Prison: Start with small armory, reinforced buildings, ammunition stockpile, but no reliable food source and attractive raiding target.

Wasteland: Irradiated, largely desolate, lots of scavenging opportunities, occasional still-sealed bunkers, vaults, and fallout shelters.

As a side note, the Remnants would be people like military remnants, governmental remnants, and anyone else who represents a faction of the pre-apocalypse world relatively preserved.

Remnants, prison. After the Collapase, what you've done on the outside no longer matters, inmates and wardens need eachother now. Mite b cool, no?

File: 1342210230473.jpg-(59 KB, 564x386, marcus-the-super-mutant.jpg)

Mutant/Wasteland, obviously.

We are the logical evolution of the pink-skins. This is OUR world now.

>>19863679
I find it interesting that a faction of convicts might be considered remnants rather than devolving into raiders. Also, as a side note, it's been about one full generation since the collapse; there are people right now who are newly young adults that were born post-collapse.

>>19863729
The mutants will actually start as more like Ghouls, tough humans with obvious but cosmetic physical changes, though if you guys pursue mutations enough, you could easily end up super-mutant-tier.

File: 1342210592579.png-(475 KB, 803x414, HubHarold.png)

>>19863766

That's fine. With the Power of the Atom, we can only grow.

I'm down with muties aswell, green is best!

muties wasteland

Remnant, military base

>>19863766
A prison could conceivably keep it's shit together. Plus, it makes for a nice 'base' of operations.

That's 3 for mutant/wasteland.

Quit living in the past, soldier boys. Embrace your green, scaly future. I'm betting we can rule the wastes and scavenge up all the remaining vaults and bunkers thanks to our rad resistance.

Remnant, Prison

We may have one been the lowest of the low, but in the freedom of the Wastes, we may rise as kings.

Military base, remnant. Could be fluffed as a govt bunker anyway.

Eh, I like my skin the way it is. Robot Prison. We are the Overlords!

A bump, and a vote for rad-zombies.

So can mutants and baseline humans share a town if they can both survive in the area, or is there a lot of hate for our faction? basically, what's the local social climate, Gamemaster?

As another side note, this game will operate on the scale of one turn per month. Food and water will work the following way, and without a renewable source of either, they go down once on the scale per month.

Surplus: You have a ton of extra food, and could probably afford to trade away a lot of it. You might even have so much that some would spoil before you could finish it.
Plentiful: You have enough food that everyone is full and nobody is hungry.
Above Average: The richest/most powerful can consistently eat their full and nobody goes hungry.
Average: Nobody's ever really full, but most people also aren't hungry.
Below Average: The people are hungry and on edge, but nobody's at risk of malnutrition or starvation.
Scarce: One month before the food is all gone, people are malnourished, nobody can avoid being hungry.
Starving: Unless you scavenge for food or find/make some kind of food source, the population will be halved due to starvation each round until brought back up to scarce or higher.

So that's three for Mutant, four for Remnant, one for Robot. Three Wastelands, three Prisons, and two Military?

Military remnants is good. It'd have better weapons than a prison, and a MRE stockpile to give us some time to get some food source.

>>19864043
Humans generally have fear/mistrust towards mutants, as many mutants are basically monsters. It's not impossible to be on good terms with humans, just hard. One of the big reasons a mutant band might choose to live in the wasteland would be that humans can't really follow them there. That and wastelands tend to have radioactive/mutagenic areas that mutants can utilize to great effect.

Mut in prison or forest
Mutations are a plus, good defense in prison, tamable monsters for us to ride and fight with

Okay, I've counting a majority for Remanant, but a tie for Prison and Military Base. I'll take the highest roll to pick which one it is. I'll take the highest 1d100 roll after 5 rolls or 15 minutes, whichever comes first.

mutant for great justice we shall show the haters the powa of bioengineering and our bros the awesomeness of mutation badassery

Prison has food, water, generaters, wieghts for war hammers, iron bars for weapons. Mutant for cool mutations

I gotta go with remnant. Military remnant methinks.

>>19864175

If you guys really want, being mutant remnants wouldn't be disallowed. You would take the frailty of both, and start with 25 population, but you would also have the benefits of both.

There isnt much post-apoc on it.

>>19864252

Twenty five mutant soldiers might be enough. Can you tell us more about the mutations?

>>19864359

>>19864325
Question: Since Remnants originally won the Faction contest, is this now for location or both?

rolled 41 = 41

Fuck that. an entire company

rolled 14, 67 = 81

Mutants in prison have lots of bonuses, we are the Chain Gang! We use chains with our weapons. Second roll is for martial artists.

>>19864366
Starting out, mutants are tough, immune to most disease, harmful radiation, and most poisons. They don't age, heal about 50% faster than normal, and have a hard time reproducing the traditional way. Aside from that, new mutations can be almost anything.

>>19864388
This is just for location, though, like I said, if you guys want, you can be Mutant Remnants. Only one person has commented on whether or not they would be into that, though.

>>19864401

The 41 decides it. You're Remnants at a Military Base. You guys also have the option of being Mutant Remnants, since it seems like a pretty even split between the Mutant and Remnant faction. I'll let you guys comment on/discuss that for a few minutes while I start working on a first post.

I say Military Remnants in a military base. Mutants are just target practice for the pure! Lets be ultra bigots and hate on muties and shoot 'em on site and just only help out humans, the PURE humans!

rolled 36 = 36

Prison!! THE HQ OF THE REVOLUTION!

>>19864411
If we're mutant military remnants, would we have the supplies of a base without it being adjusted for population? It'd mean we could feasibly train/recruit more soldiers.

I'm for combo mutant remnants. Prison is the best place to start.

so can we be super soldier mutants...like steve rogers? with genetic damage due to a super soldier process?

'cause I would be all over that.

>>19864444
Remnants. Mutants are just another hazardous form of fauna and should be shot on sight. Oh, if we're feeling merciful, taken in for research.

>>19864444
MUTANTS we shall show those bigots what happens when u fuck with military mutants

File: 1342213219215.gif-(85 KB, 500x281, 1341950660663.gif)

Mutants? Mutants? more like Mute ants, amirite?

Part mutants so we can have awesome mutations.

How about a compromise? 12 Mutants, 50 normal soldiers? That'd be half of each 'base' population.

So we have one dedicated squad for radiation issues, and then a large platoon.

With a surplus of ammunition/MREs from having a smaller pop.

>>19864523
Actually, mutants and remnants both start with a reduced population. If you go with Mutant Remnants, you will have a starting population of 25. It's also either Mutant Remnants or Remnants, no split.

Yes, military mutants we shall show the world why super soldiers are so feared even if we are ugly as sin.

>>19864523
No, were remnant humans are the best bet we have. If we make a compromise we are going to be pushed around the rest of the game. so only remnant humans no muties in our colony!

Ok, we haven't fully established what faction we are, and haven't chosen a base\town yet, but regardless-have we sent out scouts? what's the geography, who else is looting the prewar swag?

Also I noticed that there is a robot faction and everyone's thinking of the mutants as a combination of ghouls and super mutants, so... is this a alternate reality?Is this a darker Fallout universe? And what, in your professional opinion, is the average population density of radioactive materials barrels per square kilometre? Because let me tell you, radioactive sludge barrel catapults sound like a truly /tg/ worthy siege weapon!

I'd rather stick with military remnants. Radiation/disease immunity is useful, but the slow population growth and 1/4th the numbers isn't good.

>>19864545
why not just aquire some survivor humans and breed them up? We'll use them as a worker population and see about breeding with them to get our numbers up.

>>19864523
Good plan, but let's make it 50/50. Have amazing mutations and normals that are snipers and just long range so we don't have any weaklings at the front lines

>>19864542
Damn. So no 25 normals and 12 mutants? What a shame.

>>19864602
It'd be 25/25 if OP allowed split. It's 50 Mutants OR 50 normals right now. Sucks we can't split.

I like compromise. as a suggestion for it maybe the mutants were pre apoclypse survivors who rescued children n raised them.but payed the price by becoming mutants for their deeds.

>>19864569
Any purestrain humans we recruit would require a few months of training to get up to the standards of a trained soldier.

>>19864616
Good plan and we get lots of people that respect us for our sacrifice.

rolled 25 = 25

*sigh* I vote normals.

No, muties go make your own base

bah 25 individuals would be totally worth the benefits of both factions.

I think purestrain humans is the better deal. Going mutants means we may have to deal with possible discrimination. As humans, we could freely choose to ally or be neutral to mutants.

OP doesn't want it split since it'd mess with something arbitrary as 'slowed population growth' as is, I think.

You are the Star City National Guard. Two decades ago, when the collapse happened, Operation Delta was enacted. All soldiers and their families were given injections of something called Salient Blue, a drug designed to offer increased resistance to expected environmental concerns, but which hadn't yet undergone human trials. It did exactly what it was supposed to do, but also left those exposed to it less fertile and possessed of strange, vivid blue veins, blue gums, and so forth. There's still a large stockpile of Salient Blue, and there have been a few new people added to the base, and some born, through the years. The new people were injected, and it seems the Blue breeds true. The base is currently still pretty well-stocked, but the only water is from a small well in the base's yard, and frankly it barely produces enough to ration out.

As for a base - whatever we decide I think it should be a science lab. sure there will be some crazy shit living in the deep down, but we'll grow and learn quickly surrounded in science shit, and we can quarantine sections until we're ready to deal with certain problems... right now im thinking we should go with remnants because of the tech bonuses out the ass
if we go mutants that would be fine too, then we would be tough enough to fight off any threats from within.... i really just want OP to make the call already so we can fucking get started

>>19864685
Right and if we have the amount of MREs if we were norms, we would have food for a long time.

Let's all be mutants. We can try to reverse the process with our remnant technology in the future if it becomes necessary.

B
Might as well attempt to put sand bags around the perimeter. That way we aren't as vulnerable and we can't be seen as easily

>>19864703
Explode to the east. We need to get our bearings and find out what's out there. We're the Watchdogs of the Wastes, and we need to know what it is we're protecting.

>>19864834
I was actually going to call this band the Star Guard, since they started as the Star City National Guard.

oh we need water well atleast we dont have to worry about quality considering were mutants.

E we need giant dicks, them we can start banging normals to repopulate the world.

But really, E, we are mutants, we need to reap the benefits.

>>19864859
ooh I like that considering we shall become gaurdians of the wastes n reminds us of our history

WATER WATER WATER. if we dedicate a whole month to getting water, by the end i expect that problem to be solved for good.

A: lets search for water, and call ourselves the star guard. We can use a blue star to mark our territory.

E, let's find some normals.

With enough breeding, we could make less obvious mutants who are more fertile. Add some genetic engineering and we can get the best traits of mutants with the perks of looking normal.

The Star Guard has about five miles in every direction around their base explored and marked with graffiti of blue stars, the Guard's symbol of choice. Patrols don't really go out further than that because they haven't explored further than that, and pre-collapse maps are often useless. Small-squad patrols are sent out to help deal with the water situation, carrying canteens, large plastic jugs, and so forth. After a month of the patrols focusing on this issue, the Guard has a small stockpile of dirty and radioactive but safe water stored in large drums and jugs in the mess hall. There are about four months of MREs stockpiled in the mess hall too, and the Guard feels better knowing they have multiple months of food and water available for now.

>>19865013
The Blue breeds true. Any child of one of the mutants will have the Blue and all of the advantages and disadvantages that comes with it. They tried that a few years ago with some new arrivals, and know this to be the case; those new arrivals have since taken the Blue.

>>19865026
We have maps, don't we? I say we head to any small towns or likely places people would settle (farmland/by the rivers or wells)

>>19865026

let's build up defenses so that we're safe in case of a sudden attack by raiders or deathclaws an shit
i think once defenses are up we can focus on playing with mutations

B

>>19865065
You have maps, but they're all pre-collapse and, as a result, horribly inaccurate. Rivers have been diverted, towns leveled, and entire swaths of unexplored land are filled with radiation, unknown monsters, and possible raiders. You'll have to actually explore to know what's around here.

rolled 23 = 23

E. Pursue new mutations

I'm curious how we even go about this, but I'm sure downing large quantities of irradiated water will help.

As far as what we should 'develop', some sort of extra-sensory ability would help with scavenging. Night vision, thermal vision, ultrasonic hearing, canine's scent ability, etc.

E armored people will always win in fights against non armored people. Get some claws in there too.

Improve the base. Sand, and thusly sandbags must be abundant, and large sheets of scrap metal too.

>>19865026
By the way, those 'handheld computers' are the size of a smart phone, have miles of radio range to communicate with each other, can be used to hack/interface with surviving computer if discovered in the wastes, and have scanning functionality of a Star Trek tricorder. They're the tech benefit you got for being Remnants.

>>19865108
Let's become lizard people with claws, scales, and heat vision.

If we go for new mutations, I think something that fixes our appearance would be best. That, and boosting our fertility, which we can do through a mutation or getting some normal people.

You guys won't actually be able to pursue specific mutations unless you find/build a functional science lab. You'll have to expose yourselves to heavy radiation, drink some mutagen, or inject some pre-war chemicals you found and hope you get what you want otherwise. Mutations will be functionally random unless you get some kind of science facility.

If you do find a science facility, though, and get it up and running, you'll be able to pursue tailored, specific mutations of your choosing.

>>19865186
Random mutations are a BAD idea.

As is, we look slightly weird and have lower fertility. But we still have benefits. Lets not risk anything else debilitating.

I say we explore west, hopefully finding a town or science lab.

What state/country/county are we in? Even a pre-collapse map showing the old topography could help

E fuck bitches get mutations. Drink all the chemicals we can. Anything to become great mutants. After we shot up some pesticides, scout for a SL so we don't need to drink bad tasting shit and still get mutants.

F. Explore in a direction.

Patrols are sent out to find an especially-radioactive area somewhere in the explored territory with the intent of experimenting with mutations there. They find just that in a large crater with a small pool of rain water at the bottom. The Geiger counters on their computers read massive radiation levels from that pool, and they experiment with having guardsmen drink from the water, then sit in the pool and inject a new dose of Salient Blue to catalyze a new mutation. Those that do so find that their blood is now a dark, almost black blue in colour, but they can heal lacerations, sprains, and other such injuries that would normally take a month or more to heal in a single full day of rest, leaving nothing but faint blue scars. The new mutation is quickly given to everyone who wants it, and almost everyone does.

great now our water is below average and our base is still pretty vulnerable.
lets not risk random mutations again you guys, something tells me that was a lucky roll

>>19865482

I really don't want this to turn into every other turn we get a new mutation and every other month we gather food and thats all we ever fucking do.

Improve. The. Base.

Voting for B. This base wont be safe for long without modifications.

>>19865502
Then you guys might want to try to find/make some kind of sustainable food/water supply. At the moment, the only way for you guys to get new food and water is to actively go find it.

>>19865502
Then we should first stockpile food/water and then explore to find new sources or improve the base for farming and water acquisition.

We don't need any more mutations right now.

The base is reinforced. It's been too long, the commanders decide, that the Star Guard has relied on its reinforced buildings and chain link fence to protect them. Bags are found and made of scrap cloth and filled with dirt, sand, gravel, and whatever other such things are readily available in the base yard, then stacked to reinforce the fence. When all is said and done, it's much sturdier, and provides some cover in the event of an attack.

>>19865594

A - food and water.
I want this to be the last time we scavenge for scraps, we need to develop our own supply of food and water

>>19865594
A. We need a reserve, now.

B let's get a better well, or find a underground river.

Scavenge for food and for water and then next turn you guys, we're designing a proper self sufficient supply of food for ourselves dammit.

get food stuffs and waters

Yeah, let's get food. Then do Explore/Improve for some self-sufficiency.

Will there actually be any generational or yearly timeskips? Natural population growth (which is slow for us) won't happen in the span of a few months. We'd need atleast 15-20 years to have new workers/soldiers.

The water is scarce again, and the food stocks are below average. Patrols are sent out, told to comb the explored territory for water to bottle and surviving canned food and whatever game they can bag. By the end of the month, the mess hall has a fair bit of canned goods, mutant squirrels, and giant pigeons in the larder and quite a few barrels and jugs of filthy water in the back. A small group comes out of the wastes near the end of the month, a man, his wife, and his teenage son, and a woman and her teenage daughter. They're all dehydrated, hungry, and in various stages of radiation poisoning.

The wanderers are given the Blue, which likely saves the lives of a few of them, and are brought into the base and given food and water. They're all welcomed into the Star Guard, though the woman with the daughter seems unsettled by being among (let alone actually being) a 'mutie.' The man says that they're the only survivors of a small settlement that was raided by mutant raiders, insane, hulking brutes with bright, scarlet veins and soft tissue in the same was as the Star Guard's blue. The brutes killed anyone that they could, and were eating the dead when these five escaped. They said they came from somewhere to the East. The patrols are sent out, told to expand the territory and mark things like phone poles and anything else still standing with blue stars. They come back with tales of the outskirts of city to the North West, most of it rubble, a small, irradiated, but freely-flowing stream to the South East, and the edge of a forest of unknown size to the North East.

Aight lets get some raw materials, we'll need them to start playing with tech. with the computers we have and shit we could build cars, or something else awesome. so yeah scavenge for raw materials

>>19866273
Explore deeper into the city. Look to set up possible forward outposts with "crows nests" that a group of 2 soliders could occupy and watch the area from cover to make note of anything happening. Like an early warning system.

lets start piping water into the compound, we'll build a canal or an aquaduct or something if we can't do that.

This.

G - we'll need shit to work with when we start techin' out

>>19866341
You'll need to search for lots of pipes/scrap metal as raw materials to build piping for water. You could do canal/aqueduct work with a lot less (i.e. no) materials, but it will only add a few miles of canal per turn spent working on it.

>>19866362
Ok, let's go for raw materials then.

G

Patrols are sent out to scavenge for scrap metal, pipes both plastic and metal, screws, and really anything else they can find in ruined hardware stores and construction sites. Eventually, some materials are found near the outskirts of the city in a half-built suburb. The patrol squads take pipes from the plumping of the built houses and take cement mix, screws, and other materials from the construction sites for the ones that hadn't been started and pile them up under large plastic tarps in the center of the base's yard.

Food.

>>19866492
A, to stave off starvation yet again.

I think we should forget about the aqueduct until we have a persistent source of food.

okay A: food, lets find something that we can farm or ranch.

>>19866517
Until we find something to grow I don't really see a use for it.

agreed, lets save the piping project for later and focus on a steady food source, we'll build a farm later or something.

Also, in case no one realized, a system of pipeworks leading from a river will in turn lead anyone who stumbles across it back towards our home.

>>19866597
Not if it's underground

>>19866492
We need to try and find some food. Possibly something that we can plant, some hardy plant maybe? But yeah, look for food.

Star Guard patrols are sent out again, into the outskirts of the city to look for canned goods and other non-perishables, and out to the edge of the forest to look for wildlife. The ones who went to the city bring back packets of seeds with the cans, though there's no knowing how well they'll grow in irradiated soil, and the ones who went to the forest bring back hard, lumpy, but edible fruits with five or six seeds in the core of each one, likely mutant apples, along with the squirrels and birds.

Is the land by the river irradiated? If not, normal seeds there, mutant seeds in the yard.

>>19866626
Soak the seeds in the salient blue before planting them.

I'm gonna vote for exploring the city- maybe if we're lucky we'll find some uncorroded bicycles our patrols can use

Also, we should totally reform into a cult dedicated to spreading (and later, creating) Agent Blue. Our muties seem to be worth two normal humans at wasteland-survival related tasks, maybe three for our fast healing guys. And besides, 20 years approx. is ample time to go nutty,right?

>>19866643
The water and land by the river is very radioactive, yes.

>>19866646
Hmmm, I hadn't considered that you might try that. You guys can try that if you want.

>>19866646
soak HALF the seeds in salient blue before planting them.

no.

I say we examine the mutant seeds, plant the normal seeds by the river, Then improve our bases defenses.

>>19866657

Augh,sorry. forgot to end my post with "Blue for the Blue god!"

Side note for anyone who wants to do experiments with Salient Blue. A single dose is just 1 cc of Blue, and there are over a dozen crates full of bottles of the stuff and clean syringes in storage in the barracks.

Soak half of the seeds in salient blue and plant them in the base.

Explore and loot the city.

F and explore near the city

>>19866659
Ehhh, let's only try that on a few seeds, definitely not all.

G: Scavenge for more material, that stuff is what we need to build anything good.
4: Planting them by the river is too far away. Also, its an age old thing that rivers lead to civilization. Who wants to bet with me that if we follow this river, it will lead to the Red-Commie-Bastard-Muties?

>>19866735
I second this emotion. We have a ton of salient blue. The seeds will probably die anyway. If we're lucky we produce a new stable strain of hardy healthy plant. If not its just a failed experiment.

also lets see if we can get some useful gear.

Okay, so the consensus I'm getting right now sounds like exploring the city, soaking half the seeds in Blue, and planting them in the yard. That about right?

>>19866626
F, explore the city and the forest (if both are possible
as for the seeds, plant half the mutie seeds in the yard

>>19866776
Fine by me

>>19866776
Sure. Plant them in different places in the yard though, don't want the Blue ones accidentally contaminating the non soaked ones.

Half the seeds are soaked in the Blue and they soak it up just fine. The seeds are planted throughout the yard, on two separate sides, and watered with the cleanest water they can find. In the meantime, the Star Guard sends patrols into Star City to explore it better. They find a lot of ruins and even standing buildings that could probably be looted for raw materials at a later date. A five many squad also finds, though, a survivor settlement. It's inside a multi-level parking garage, the lower levels covered with chain link and boarded up. They look sparsely armed, poorly fed, undisciplined, and the best estimates put them at up to a hundred people, counting juveniles. The squad calls back to base with their computers for advising.

Oh, and here's the map. The survivor settlement is the pink dot.

>>19866919
A. It's going to be a while before we can harvest anything, if anything grows in the first place. Build reserves.

2. Stay out of sight and watch them. We can learn about their movement patterns and weaknesses in case we decide to attack, and we can also learn what resources they have and gather information about the threats in the city from what they avoid/what attacks them.

G
spy
i would like to discover if the bigots BEFORE we get shot at.

keep watering the plants. something has to grow right?

watch the survivors. We have no idea what these people are like, and there are mutants similar to use running around eating people so that's an even better reason to stay hidden.

Make contact with the settlement.Let's not reveal any information about our base or resources, but we should help them out- we used to be the law here way back when

D to research tech. If we can find out a way to make some rudimentary tools like crowbars or axes then it will make salvaging easier

G: Scavenge for Raw Materials

1: "Greetings citizens of Star City! We are the National Guard, and we're here to protect any and all citizens of this wondrous /star/ of civilization! ...Now, if you would point us to raw resources?"

Out of curiosity, exactly *how* blue are we? does it look like there's pen ink running under our skin or do we just look very cyan-ey if you look at the veins on the back of your hand?

>>19867015
You look almost like your veins were tattooed on in blue ink, you bleed an almost-black blue blood, and your gums, the pink parts of your fingernails, the insides of your eyelids, and so on are all blue. The veins are less obvious on black guardsmen, especially the ones with darker skin, but everything else is still perfectly visible.

>>19867047
Does the Fast Recovery mutation spread to new arrivals who take Salient Blue, or is it specific to those members of the group who irradiated themselves?

>>19867084
Spread to everyone. Under Mutations, you'll see "base" which is the base of our mutations, and "fast recovery." This applies to all I'm guessing, else it wouldn't be there.

The squad gets into a build a few blocks down with a nice overwatch of the street. They hunker down, subsisting on MREs and their canteens, and watch the coming and going of the settlement. Every day they send out large groups of scavengers, which search just the few nearby blocks, and extremely inefficiently at that. They seem frightened of exploring and scavenging any further, and their yields are as small as you would imagine. Patrols continue in the city, taking electronics, scrap metal, large intact boards, and other such supplies they find back to the base. Small shoots are starting to grow in the yard, especially on the Blue end, where little blue-green leaves are starting to break free of the soil. Near the end of the month, though, something happens. Two enormous men, easily eight feet tall and thick with muscle, their veins and soft tissue scarlet in the same way that the Star Guard is blue, come lumbering down the street from the North. When they reach the settlement, they kick in the door, each grab a survivor in each hand, and start walking out. The survivors appear to terrified to fight them, though the ones that were grabbed are screaming and thrashing about. The squad calls back to base for orders.

>>19867121

1. We can't afford to chance that the Reds notice us now. Besides that, killing the Reds might result in massive retribution to this group of survivors, and we don't have the resources to protect them.

>>19867115
G: Let's get enough materials before we start attempting to pipe it. It would go much faster, and be less annoying, if we can get it all in one go instead of having to scavenge, then build, then scavenge, then build, over and over again.

I want to kill them but... Think about it people. If we kill them, they will come back to attack them in retaliation. If we let them go, this will continue. I'm saying this, don't save them. Follow them. That way we can find their base, and hit them. If we don't they'll just hit the survivors, or potentially us, but if we find them then we can get rid of them then and there. Trust me on this.

So, guys, anyone willing to gamble that the Khornates are too maddened to notice two men dropping off the map during a routine grab civvies mission? They could have been mauled by monsters lurking in the rubble, surely...

Yes, but if we follow them and find out where they're based, then we won't have to find them later. We can then hit them then and there, finish this instead of let it continue on. You don't cure a broken limb by giving some pain medication, you set the bone.

I also agree that we should G and get more materials. some time soon we need to play around with tech, build some cars or something.

>>19867264
You don't need to roll unless I ask. Unless I say otherwise, decisions are based on votes, not rolling.

Consensus seems to be for 1, but it's split between A1 and B1. I'll let you guys roll to decide whether it's A1 or B1. Highest of first five rolls or highest roll in the next ten minutes decides, whichever comes first. If you vote B1, make sure to say whether you want to reinforce the base, start laying some pipe, or something else.

Next turn, we find some wild boars that mutated for war and breed them for meat and awesome boar riders.

For now B and 7

We don't have any guarantee that the route between the red base and civillian holdout is safe, they may lose men occasionally. I say sniping them and burning the bodies. If they have anything on them to track their location, the flames'll fry it, or we'll see it in the ashes and destroy it.
They can't find suspicious bullet marks if they can't find the victims.
Though. true, knowing the location and layout of red base could help in the long run.
I vote for either action.

if they're too afraid to shoot the red guys, they're too afraid to shoot us. that would give us time to explain ourselves, and we would offer to make them part of our order not kidnap them for food you dimwit - an opportunity alot of starving people would jump on.

7 we need allies and we need them quick, I'm sure more than a few parents would be willing to join up and take the blue if we promised to protect thier children and you know, not force the blue on them.

I knew modifying those plants with the blue was agood idea, wish it was mine tho.

>>19867327
>>19867344
Any more rolls?

>>19867348
Well we would show up right after their people got kidnapped, I'm just assuming they would be a little bit more on guard. They might also not have adequate weapons and such were vulnerable to a mutant attack. We don't really lose much from waiting til the camp settles down.

>>19867327
B7 it is. I'll start writing up the post.

If we are shooting the reds though, can we make sure to burn the corpses? Seriously, I'm *paranoid* they've got trackers in there somewhere.

lets just bring the fuckers in for autopsy. wrap 'em up in sheets to keep blood from dripping and haul 'em home.

rolled 7 = 7

>>19867457

agreed, we can experiment with their mutations as well as our own. whole lotta blood in two bodies. especially two huge bodies.

>>19867457

My problem with the corpses is that they might be tracked,and they find they were *shot*. that means they know someone around has guns and a problem with them. If they track those bodies to a outpost with a small number of heavily armed mutants, they're gonna use that signal to coordinate artillery on us.

The Star Guard might not have been the police, but they are the law in this town now, and they're going to serve and protect. The designated marksman lines up a shot and puts a bullet right through the eye of one of the Reds before they even know they're under fire. The other turns towards where the shot rang out from, a look of confusion on its face. After a moment though, while the DM is still trying to line up the second shot, it lets out a bellowing roar and dives for cover. It starts moving towards the building where the squad is holes up, ducking and weaving from cover to cover even as it sprints at full speed. These fuckers are combat trained. The whole squad starts unloading on it, and even though the shots are hitting, they're not dropping it, just slowing it down. Finally, once it's close enough, a guardsman throws a grenade, and that was the end of that Red. They put a bullet through this one's eye too, just to make sure. All of that said and done, the squad walks up to the settlement, their guns reloaded and out but in an idle position. The people there are a curious mix of frightened, mistrustful, and grateful. "We're the Star Guard. We're the law in this town now," the squad's commander tells them, and gives them a space handheld computer to contact the base if the need arises. As they're heading back out, ten teenagers, each of them orphaned in Red raids, ask to come with the squad, to join the Star Guard. It's clear they have some hero worship going on, but the squad says yes; the Guard could use some new blood, it seems, if the Reds are that tough. The corpses of the Reds are wrapped in tarps and dragged back to base to get a better look at them.

ok where the hell would they get trackers? why would they put tracers on all of their guys, if they only send two people into a community of roughly a hundred they are clearly very confident and not worried about knowing where everyone is as a group. secondly where the fuck would they get artillery??? are you trolling?? artillery???????

>>19867571
Meanwhile, the guardsmen back at base get started on their water project. They've decided that it would be best to lay underground pipes to take the water to them and, since they don't really have the means to build mechanical pumps, the solution is obvious; have it flow through pipes via gravity directly into the well they already have. The project is going to take a while; they get it about a third of the way done this month, but it will require two more months of work (two more turns of B) to complete it. The shoots are growing bigger; the ones identified as tomato vines are curiously sprouting tiny blue flowers instead of the normal ones as well as small, sharp thorns.

hey there is nothing wrong with eating people if you are a mutant but the fact they just grabbed civilian to eat is a no no. killing someone who was trying to kill you on the other hand is fair game. non mutated people should NOT become cannibals you can catch a lot of nasty shit doing that.

>>19867577

I said artillery to make my case sound better honestly, heh.
I'm worried about trackers, tho because all it would need is for them to have a decent science lab. We could have started as *robots*, man.
(And I'm sorta new to quests, I assumed these guys'd be a threat through most if not all of this)
Sorry, must have been thinking of them too much like super mutants- figure'd they have their own the Master to work under. I'll cede the "they be bugged" argument.

yeah, this tracer and artillery business is straight up retarded. These guys are clearly also military men, probably took salient red hurr hurr to state the obvious but shit - if he was running at our troops and not shooting it means these guys are brutes not marksmen. they arent bright, they're tough. they won't have tracers, they won't have artillery. they have strength, speed, and their two fists which is all they seem to need.

Pretty much all civ threads use that focus. The only reason we keep running out of food and water is because we aren't focusing on securing permanent supplies of food and water.

Don't take this so seriously, it's just a game.

Actually, we're safe for now. However, we will HAVE to find new food after this. No exceptions.

I say H: Cut 'em up.

The food is running low, but it's decided it's more important to open up these Reds while they're still fresh and see what makes them tick. It quickly becomes apparently, however, that this is more than a one man job. Their skin is as hard as leather, their muscles so thick and dense that most of the bullets that hit the one Red failed to completely penetrate them, and the bones are so hard that two people need to hold one, a third hold a chisel and a forth use a large hammer to crack them open. It takes two guys on each side pulling hard to keep the rib cage open.

The findings are interesting. These guys are built like tanks, have similar changes to their kidneys and livers that have been observed in deceased Guardsmen in the past, and their brains are malshapen, shriveled in certain areas. They're goddamn tanks. When it was all said and done, a lot of blood was also collected before the bodies were burned, and they think a full dose of what the guardsmen are calling Salient Red was boiled out of it. The Guard isn't sure if they want to do any experiments with that Salient Red or destroy it, but it's there.

The tomato vines now have small, hard, blue-green fruits on them. They're clearly not ripe, but they're starting to fruit.

I thought the only thing you could catch from cannibalizing was something akin to mad cow called Kor's Disease. If I remember right it degraded your nerves gradually, so your hands shake uncontrollably and you die of brain rot at about age 60-as civilization collapsed I think the average life expectancy is...lower,

Anywho enough nitpicking for me-on with the Quest!
