No need to alert every goon of our presence. This is a reconnaissance mission JJ.

Also Crusty, holy heck man you are descriptive

>You feel vaguely as though you’re transitioning into another world – around you, beyond the omnipresent gloom, you hear the earth whispering in its sleep, roots stretching, worms rasping and struggling through the old loam. Old. This is all old. You remember Creeper telling you once that there are ancient tunnels under New York, that the city is just as deep as it is tall, that nobody could possibly keep a track of everything everyone’s ever buried in this town.

This right here captured the tone, Creeper, the current environment, etc. It paints a very neat picture

>>32613447
>we are on a time limit
no we are not. We were on a time limit for meeting with the Hellions because we told them we would be there at specific time. The plan was; we only went into the building for recon then we get out and the Hellions burn the place down. They'll burn it down whenever we tell them to. No time limit.

Smashing the door down and alerting everyone that we're here is bad.

>>32613468
this

>>32613558
Actually we are, they said they'll call us before they blow the place to shit, they are still gonna blow it if we are inside

>>32613501
I think that was before the incident with Broseph, but more to the point I think he clarified that we would be cut off until we resolved or triumphed over some personal trial, and then we would start building up x-points again.

>[X] Try to force your way through.

Well, you overcame several very primal fears to get here. You’re pretty sure you should be able to overcome a door.

Feeling for hinges, you brace your shoulder against the opposite side, such your breath in, and put your back into a single, mighty heave. The door groans inwards surprisingly easily, metal hinges snapping free. It doesn’t quite go down in one push, just sag pathetically, but another two significantly less determined shoves later it keels straight over.

You cringe as the sound echoes through the dark. Didn’t think about that.

The prospect of being caught freezes you up for a moment, but as the seconds stretch on into minutes, it becomes steadily clearer that nobody’s coming. You breathe out a heavy, long sigh of relief, and feel your way further in.

The ground is level now, but the walls are still close. As you make your way deeper, an obscene, caustic sort of scent washes over you, growing thicker with every step. You couldn’t quite describe it if you tried – not totally. It’s like something bloated and foul just opened up and shat out a little spurt of all the worst things in life. It’s not rot, but it reminds you of rot. Reminds you of death.

Eventually the smell gets so bad that you have to stop for a moment, just to keep yourself from heaving up all over the floor. It’s almost like some kind of torture, like Creeper designed this place with you in mind. It’s awful.

When you collect yourself enough to continue, you realize that the air is changing, that the corridor is opening out. And you can hear heartbeats – twenty of them, at least, the dark magnifying them into a heavy, operatic rhythm.

>[Action]

>>32613468
Do this.

To everyone complaining that strength will completely rule out stealth, just remember that Laura could still kick our ass along with a bunch of other people and we're not really less susceptible to injury. I see strength more for utility then just straight up combat.

Use our heatvision and hearing to see where exactly they are and what else is around us.

>>32613530
That still seems like it's quieter to break into the world's most escapable nut-house than break though a sealed underground bunker.

>>32613545
Grapple hook isn't necessary with adhesive touch and wings. Bullet shield could just weigh us down when we could dodge, but I do agree for rope because this is /tg/. Rope is always useful.
Although cases where we REALLY need a shield can be solved by temporarily taking a manhole cover or ripping off a car door.

I realize that Crusty is probably already writing the update by now. But in the last thread JJ sensed some of the electricity going upstairs. Even if the main floor was empty there still might be something up there. It might be a good idea to have Laura check it out before meeting up with us in the tunnel.

Thanks Crusty, I appreciate it. What about the stats like courage, etc.? I know our agility has gone up quite a bit

>>32613645
We just need weight. Grappling hook can be used to pull people, or to hook someone for constant shock. More utility than just weight.

We need permanent bracer, for when we go inside/put down the manhole cower.

Also we need rebar and manhole cower(s) to make cool shield. Remember we have strength , so we can theoretically use actual wall, or car as a cower now.
Iron man suit without engine is an actual option.
We should just get some non clanky armor, (basically we just leave our joints exposed., and wrap metal (that's wrapped in cloth). around chest, arms and legs, No speed loss because strength, and we are resistant to most stuff.

2 layers of armor are better than one. I am thinking protection from Poisonous spikes(syringes, claws) and shit.

We get the manhole cower for bullets, and metal for not getting doped.

We should get gas mask/wet face bandana too. We get knocked out with gas a lot.

I vaguely would like to get echolocation for scenarios like this. But thermal vision usually should make do.

>(1/2)

The feeling isn’t a good one. It’s not fear, exactly – you’re used to fear. It’s dread. A lingering, cloying dread that nuzzles up against you in its rags and its wet furs, murmuring indecipherable somethings through cold, paralytic lips. Its fear divorced from any object, from anything tangible. Pure.

It doesn’t stop you. It probably should, but it doesn’t.

Though, does give a long enough moment of indecision to withdraw your phone and quickly update Laura on the situation.

Stowing your phone away, you decide to get a bird’s eye – or, at least, a fly’s eye – view of the place. You flex your fingers, feeling that strange, electrical warmth propagate under the skin, and feel for the nearest wall. It doesn’t take you long to stick your way up onto the ceiling (which, by the way, feels very weird. Humans clearly weren’t meant to challenge gravity in this specific way). You almost bump into the frame of a long, presently unlit, fluorescent light, but crawl over (under? Around?) it. You’re probably about three, three and a half meters up? Something like that.

God. God – the smell is worse. It’s like something from the beginning of time. Like you’re smelling the slow decay of the universe.

Blinking slowly, you twist your vision into the thermal spectra. You pick up a lot of heat signatures below – one for each heartbeat. None of them are mobile. Their personal coronas of shifting yellow-red warmth bleed out into their surroundings, revealing the vaguely humanoid figures to be stretched across a procession of tables – solid metal, if the way heat stews in them is any indication.

Beyond the heartbeats, you can hear the steady, rhythmic murmur of machines. The miniscule drip-drip-drips of fluids struggling their way through plastic packets. Reminds you – reminds your of your mother’s room, of the sounds the machines made when they were hooked up to her.

You don’t think you want to be here anymore.

Husk seems rated high for the number of times she Leeroy Jenkins'd us.

I'm guessing she feels bad about it

>>32614712

We did help find the "vampire" and we did get her to safety when said "vampire" was freaking the fuck out.

Plus, we were nice. Marrow's the dumb cunt in that group, so far.

>>32614705
Right, it's created synthetically, but we don't know what compounds are used for the drug in making it. My guess? Some lymph-node fluid or blood from certain x-gene carriers

>>32614705
Thank you. A couple of threads ago someone kept saying Jack was made from JJ juice. He didn't believe anyone that said Typhon invented it. I knew the truth but I didn't want to go digging through the archives to find that quote.

I hate digging through the archives just to prove someone wrong.

>>32614728
>>32614731
Yeah. That'll be hilarious when we meet her again.
It's just that she keeps attacking us at the drop of a hat, seems like she'd be at rank 0 despite knowing us. We keep helping her despite her attacking, but we ate Marrow and she doesn't really seem to trust us anyways.

>>32614803
I'd be willing to accept constant attacks from her as a running gag

>>32614826
I'm not, if she attacks us we should fucking murder her

>>32614803
>>32614826

If we become friends, her constantly attacking us every time we show up is more of a friendly in-joke.

>>32614826
I'd be down for that. Especially if JJ keeps stopping her casually while also trying to calm her shit.

>>32614803
considering all the powers we pulled out while marrow was right friggin there watching, i would think the whole group would be a little wary of us

>>32614803
>We keep helping her despite her attacking
This is why she's at level 1. We were probably at -1 or 0 before the vampire incident. Then it when up to 1 after we were such a nice guy.

>>32614802
Nowhere does it say in that statement what chemical compounds he uses to make Jack, just that he was the one who invented it. For all we know, Joseph uses fluids from mutants because that is where the chemical for Jack is naturally produced.

>[X] There’s a light. There must be a light switch.

You can’t stop listening to the machines. You know them – they’re like old acquaintances. Uncles, aunts. Figures, leering vaguely through the dark. You remember them arrayed like idolaters, like ceremonial virgins, like executioners. You hold your breath, trying to block out the awful, awful, rancid horror of the smell, and brush it all aside.

You make your way down, feeling your way along the walls until your fingers trace their way around the outline of a light switch. You feel your stomach churn, almost as if preparing for the inevitable. You bite your lip, and bite, and bite, and are a little surprised when you taste iron.

You feel yourself flick the lights on as an echo along your arm, as if you’re observing it from a great distance.

>>32614890
>Then it when up to 1 after we were such a nice guy.
We did eat Marrow. But Husk probably doesn't like Marrow. Just because you're on the same team as someone doesn't mean you have to like them.

>(2/2)

The closest sleeper – they’re sleeping, or something like that – seems sort of okay at a glance. He’s a young man in his late teens, probably around your age. Square jaw, eyes closed in placid blindness. His shoulders stretch out into tell-tale, mutated appendages, sort of like weird bone-feelers. They dangle at his side like discarded lengths of rope. The machines dig into him, an IV standing at his side, a monitoring device looming beside it. And he’s been cut into, often. His stomach is dominated by a long, expertly sewn caesarean, the rugged edges of the wound suggesting that it’s been opened over and over and over…

The one next to him is – oh, oh Christ – you – you –

You almost keel over, stomach writhing. An unreasoning, primal sort of repulsion comes over you, like a sudden fever, like bad meat. The image of her face – of that horrific, cancerous atrocity – seethes to the forefront of your mind, infecting everything it touches, its bloated girth forcing all other thoughts aside.

She’s not dead. None of them are dead. She’s not dead, but she’s rotting.

You fall to your knees and vomit noisily.

A specific scent cuts through the cloying vileness of the place. Smells like that stuff you woke up in, back at the factory. That clear, amniotic sorta stuff.

Christ.

I think we should keep looking around, in case there are more or anything that can give us information about Creeper's movements like papers or whatever.

I'm surprised at all the people calling for a mercy kill, when the IVs are indicating most of these people are alive. We have no idea if they are cognitive, in a coma, if they are in lots of pain, or ANYTHING yet people are all for murdering like twenty people without further investigation.

>>32615082
You'd be surprised how strong the will to live can be in some people.

I think a lot of people in this thread are thinking about as clearly as JJ is right now. Which is to say, not at all.

Laura and the Hellions need to see pictures of this, the entire situation has completely changed.

>>32615135

Seconded.

While I do want to mercykill them, let's at least show them what's going on and get their opinions.

>>32615127
Because someone mutated the power to rot to death, yes that would happen

>>32615110
Seriously. Keep these muggas alive, try to help as many of them heal as possible, have an extremely pissed-off army of muggas. Although they are giving me flashbacks to Bonesaw from Worm.

It's only a mercykill if there's no hope for recovery.

>>32615158
Are you retarded? Yes, someone would develop the power to rot while living,that is exactly the kind of shit the X-Gene can grant.

>>32615065
>Implying she's not a Nurglette

>>32615183

Okay, well, if they were actually strapped down and their organs and nervous system were laid out all over the room and shit, THEN I could be convinced to mercy kill them. But most of them are probably not beyond help.

Sorry Grue.

>>32614947
So yeah, anti-voting killing them, call this in, maybe see if we can wake up the most intact one (we do seem familiar with these systems).

It probably wont happen. But If it did we could just buy Healing vitae and save all of them.

Had a double feature last time, but there might be a quiz for the table folks, so let's start looking. Then the problems of JJ finding that particular power.

>>32615522
Give them a shot, Healing factor 2 can bounce back from quite a bit, hell, if we're lucky there could be a healer in the bunch. Or a power booster, or something.
We wake them up, the ones that start screaming "Please kill me" or something I might consider an actual mercykill instead of murder-hobo.

>[X] Call Others

You – you breathe. You wipe the sticky remnants of the vomit from your mouth and try to ignore the taste. It’s not that bad. Not that bad. You’ve vomited in your mouth before. It’s not that bad.

The breath sagging back and forth in your chest, you pull yourself up, and force yourself to look again. The others – the others are in varying states of silent, comatose helplessness. Some are obviously mutants, some aren’t so blatant, but you’d hazard a guess that everyone in here has an X-gene hidden somewhere in their DNA. A good many appear to be in sort of okay condition – they don’t look hurt, aside from the incisions. They’re pale and their breath is barely a hint of a whisper, but they’re alive.

The others… the others aren’t just rotting. They’re unfurling, gestating, collapsing, seething through the borders of their own flesh. Their meat decays even as it mutates haphazardly outward, forming twisted, tumorous shapes that make your skin feel alien and cold. There’s one – you find one that, it’s not even recognizable anymore, it’s just spindles of flesh and bone, creasing and contorting, like someone stapled together all kinds of disparate creatures and just blew them all up, and – and somehow – sort of froze it still, in that initial, flicker-instant of writhing shapelessness, everything not quite together but not quite apart.

You have to tell the others about this. You reach down into your pocket, fumbling with your phone for a few seconds, fingers feeling almost detached from your body, like all the blood’s just drained right out of them…

Before you can navigate your way to a number, a text pops up in the corner of the screen.

>Sender: Unknown.

Pausing, you open the message, the timing setting you a little on edge. It’s probably just something silly. Like a survey or something.

>I know you’re there.

You feel your stomach clench up and your skin crawl. Dropping down low, you glance frantically from one side of the drab little chamber to the other. Nobody. Nobody awake, anyway.

>I can feel you. Your phone. The little lights.

>It’s dark where I am.

You swallow. You swallow that horrible vomit-taste and that healthy dose of terror and that tiny little scream you have forming in your chest.

Your body has metabolic processes linked to each organ, remove the organ and the prerequisite molecules to these processes build up in the blood and sweat.
Its a bit like how wolves can tell a prey animal is ill, the body gives off scents of these molecules as indicators. And we have a set of smell much more potent than the best dog.

To be fair there very well could have been people on the other side or a security system we didn't know about. Just because it worked out well this time doesn't mean it will next time. It'a always better air on the side of caution.

It's safe to say the one that's just a writhing mass of flesh is probably beyond saving. But the one's that are rotting but still human looking could probably be saved by healing vitae.

You calm down as much as you can. You remind yourself that, if someone was there, you’d hear them coming long before they saw you. Hell, you’d probably smell them – even through all this sickness in the air. You compose a quick text to Laura, telling her that she and the Hellions should be down here right now, and flick back to the anonymous message.

Who are you? You get a reply not three seconds after you hit Send.

>Next to the right hand wall, three from the door.

>Don’t remember name. Haven’t heard words in so long. All ones and zeroes to me, now.

Oh God.

You make your way along the rows. Soon enough you find the table, and you –

You feel something like a grunt, something like a sob, something you don’t know how to express. Something. The body is that of a boy’s, but it’s basically nothing now. Nothing remotely human. Nothing that could ever walk again, or feel again, or touch or talk or probably even breathe on its own.

Another text follows the last.
