Greetings Users, I must warn you. Facilities are heavily damaged and the reactor is currently offline.

>>28703808
By absorbing human based tissues under certain conditions the mutants can absorb various tissues. The difficulty of each tissue varies from skin being the easiest muscle being difficult bone hard, and organs very difficult and brains almost impossible.

The mutants must process these tissues in a secondary digestive/absorptive tract, with the majority of the tissue lost, but some it retained.

Unfortunately the process is not perfect and deadly cancers are common, as well as crippling deformities. But some mutants from this particular tribe are adept at this process and show slight resistance to the defects.

(Is this a good idea?)

>>28703808
Our mutation is a jelly-like substance that oozes from our bald heads which strengthens our concentration, but is mildly toxic and extremely foul-smelling to most other organisms.

Our hero is a Warped Scientist who wants to try to develop ways for us to establish our dominance over the inferior beings of the outside world. Magneto, but with toxic goo on his head instead of a shiny helmet.

We should probably get that reactor up if we're going to get anything done.

You decide to send out scouting parties to check out the area surrounding your base. You discover that your lab is concealed in an unassuming tower towards the northern edge of a vast city. The megatowers around you are mostly toppled, nothing in the vicinity over 5 stories exists.
Your scouts had to fight off a fair number of zombies and monsters while you were out, the monsters seem to mostly infest the ruined megatowers. Your scouts attempted to explore the subway and sewer entrances they found, but quickly learned (the hard way) that zombies seem to enjoy inhabiting those even more than the surface.

While your scouts were out a cackling mutant Scientist some strange goo on his head came out of the bottom of the facility. I do not know where he came from or how he got through my sensors networks, but he calls himself Dr. Goldstein and says that he's the one who disengaged your stasis pods.

This is for the base overall. We're currently running on auxiliary generators that Dr. Mendel activated. Nuclear material is required to bring the primary reactor online (it doesn't need much, the reactor's design is exceedingly efficient).

Well, you decided that it would pay off to test the limits of your absorption physiologies by...eating some of the biofuel algae. You even asked Dr. Mendel to help you with it.

And it went spectacularly. Dr. Mendel separated out the highest energy-density strains of the biofuel algae and administered them through injection directly to your digestive tracts. The mutants who took part in the experiment reported "feeling slimy on my insides" before they vomited up explosives grade biofuel.

Delighted at the progress Dr. Mendel took some old protein scaffolds from the Biocontainment labs and fiddled with them, the algae, and some cell samples from our Darwineans then had us eat those. That's when things really kicked into gear.

Acquired:
-Internal biofuel production
Your mutants now manufacture biofuel internally, and their physiologies have modified themselves to expel it as a disorientating CQC weapon. The slicks produced can be set on fire with flame weaponry, and react explosively with plasma weaponry.

When not expelled, the biofuel is used as an alternate energy source for the body and provides bonuses to strength and resilience increasing with increased buildup time. Penetrating or plasma weaponry is likely to set off internal biofuel reserves though, if they're allowed to build up.

That was ballsy of you guys, and it paid off. You're lucky your scientist is just as crazy as you are.

Currently 100 Darwineans have the Internal Production ability. This can be increased to everyone having the slick-ability for free without an action, or to slick+stat enhancement for 1 resource per 400 population it's applied to. (does not require an action either)

I think 100 is fine as a test group. Best to keep the rest ouf or pop easily adaptable for any new discoveries.

And yeah, you'll find some of us rather gutsy. It's what killed us in the last post apoc thread.

>>>>>>F. Explore in a direction/something.
Continue to explore in an outward direction, so far we've only encountered monsters and zombies but my gut tells me that's not the only thing out there. At least let's get an idea of what factions we might find.

Also a good chance to test out our new mutants in the field.

Dr. Mendel mentions that with lab facilities like these and some samples from your population he could develop a mutagen for bringing you guys to base no matter what additives you've applied.

Also, there's no theoretical limit on the number of mutations you can stack onto yourselves. Though, of course, the more you stack in the more likely there'll be an interaction. (these can be good or bad).

>>28707434
Would this require an action, or is this an indication that as of now we can still switch with relative ease?
In any event we'll have to explore mutation further as a must.

Rolled 31

>>28707319

You send your scouts out to extend their search map and find what factions are living around you. They discover that the entire city appears to have a ring of megatowers collapsed to form a pseudo-wall around it.

To the Northwest they successfully encounter a group of bandits inhabiting a heavily fortified old essential services complex, they stay long enough to observe a few spider-vehicles exit the main entrance and start blasting away zombies encroaching on the perimeter before deciding to withdraw. Otherwise to the North there seems to be a good degree of industrial and essential type buildings.

Searches to the East make it all the way to the wall of collapsed skyscrapers without encountering anything except those odd zombies that were watching us before. They were unable to go beyond the wall due to fierce monster and zombie resistance. In this direction it seems the city's logistical services made their shipping hubs, there are also a few strange dome-shaped buildings but we weren't able to check them out due to the pursuing monsters from the tower-barricade.
On the upside, the biofuel-Darwineans were sent with this group and they proved to be a great boon fighting monsters in close quarters. They request better CQC weapons though.

The group heading Westwards ran into a zombie hive before they got too far. They were able to extricate themselves, but the resulting horde forced them and the South group to withdraw before getting any useful long-distance information. They did make themselves useful and loot a couple of buildings on their way back though.

Scouts report there was still a lot they weren't able to check out, and the underground hasn't even been touched.

I'm okay with this.

I also have an idea. But maybe let's not use it unless there's a good amount of community support, but
we could take unwanted babies from our mutant brethren and

give them the biofuel mutation, maybe applying local anesthetic to whatever allows them to secrete it 'til they're really swelled up with biofuel and
bear with me here
we work out some sort of fuse-and-trigger mechanism and throw them like grenades.

For your pushing of the fluff, you receive the bonus:

Dr. Mendel has persuaded you into the correctness of his cause, that mutantkind are the Homo Sapiens Novus and deserve to inherit this Earth that filthy Mankind destroyed.

Bonus: Fervor
-Bonus to Loyalty
-Actions undertaken with Dr. Mendel receive bonuses, and none will question (almost) anything he deems necessary

>>28708091
Currently the biofuel mutation is limited to Darwinyans. Though you could probably, between the lab and Dr. Mendel, synthesize a mutagen that could be applied to humans or mutants.

>>28707875
Scavenging for resources, writan

>>28708091
Though I appreciate your efforts at optimizing our combat efficiency, I must vehemently disagree.

We need more able bodied mutants to carry forth our late Furors message, and children are the future that will continue this 1000 year Reich

Perhaps though, our fallen comrades could serve a similar purpose. The enemy will think twice before stepping over us even in death! We could also develop some catapaults.

Hmm...implants that will explode after we die when they detect hostile movement shouldn't be too difficult to fix up, should they?

>>28708193
I can see several mechanisms.
Specialized traps to be placed over our fallen corpses, that activate the explosive potential of our mutants.
Or place some sort of explosive activator on the enemy via gas shells or special rounds.

Of course, we'd need to make sure this effect only kicks in post mortem.

Your scavenging parties deploy once more. Equipped with the technicals from the internal vehicle bay they do much better than last time. They manage to extract 6 resources from the ruined buildings in our area. They get into a minor skirmish with a group of moderately armed and armored humans, but they retreated posthaste after a soldier taken to calling himself Schultz vomited oil into one of their ambush windows and ignited it using a flamer.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mendel sets about his work on the normative Mutagen with glee. He expects it will take 4 turns and 2 resources for him to do it on his own.

Some sort of implant hooked up to our heartbeats that arms an explosive charge (in a major biofuel storage area) and a motion detector once the heartbeat stops seems like it'd work best.
