"DOG here. Let's see how this goes, shall we?"

http://the-power-armor-cyoa.wikia.com/wiki/DOG

>>33963173
"Hey, Dog. You know why we're here?"

Remember team, everyone try to buddy up so that no one is left alone with against +3 enemies.

>>33963074
Basic actions will all be success only, so basic actions will happen successfully almost always. Basic actions include things such as just walking/running/flying along, communicating by any means to others, looking around without advanced tech (just eyes, no thermals/hawkeye/etc), turning off a device, and so on. There will be three major categories for non-basic actions, DEXY, COMBAT, and TECH. You can only perform ONE TYPE OF ADVANCED ACTION per turn.

Dexy refers to any dexterity or mobility related advanced action (such as dodging attacks, surviving falls, making blocks, or melee combat). The goal of Dexy is to roll as low as possible, a 1 being the best and a 100 being you trip on your suit’s shoelaces level of failiure.

Combat refers to any form of ranged or otherwise non-melee combatative action. Accuracy with weapons, weapon damage, critical hits, luck in wounding enemies, and strength rolls. The goal of combat is to roll as high as possible, higher the better, a 100 being best and 1 being “You done fucked up, gun jam” or something.

Tech involves basically anything too advanced for a basic action, but not a dex/combat basically. It will deal with activating most of your systems or using them for fine tuning, hacking into another system, so on so forth. The goal is to roll as close to 50 as possible, a 1 or 100 would be a horrible failiure but a 65 would actually be really good. Typically a failiure alone won’t be that bad, but if you consistently crit-fail, expect something bad to happen.

"Dialogue."
Action.
>OOC

>>33963233
"Right. We should probably buddy up combat and noncombat people. Who can't afford to fight?"

>>33963241
We using any take-10 rules?

>>33963241
"As usual, got the program and hotkeys setup for everybody. It's got a bit of a delay time though, so don't expect it to work out if you need these features in a tight spot."

There also will be a “take 10” system in effect for this mission. On non-stressful situations, you can automatically be 30 away from target, and roll a d20 to modify it closer to ‘target’. (Yes I know, tech rolls are ‘middle’, whatever.). Taking 10 will make it easier to succeed in most cases(easy rolls will be pretty much impossible to fail even), but you cannot use it for dodging, attacking, while being attacked, or if the action would end up putting you through danger.

>Old players may sign up after 3:20(central), only 3 old players and total 'mission cap' will be 10 players, if we have 8 or more new players the old player cap will shrink. Sorry guys.
>Begin posting builds, you guys are just a few miles out from the target site. Mission will (hopefully) begin at 3:30, or when we have most if not all of the suits loaded up.

DOG simply shrugs. He recognized the Suit because they were both members of Hanse Behorde, but he has yet to really talk to the guy.

"Dunno. I'm just here for the loot."

Boone, Gentle, Silver, Celer, DOG, Turtle, and Cael have all showed up. (They signed on for 'priority'). Stealth team assembled and ready...

...Well, you guys arrive at the train station. Conveniently Train can pass somewhat as a 'normal' train, and he has some nice amenities, has to be paid a fair amount but hey, a safe ride and not too many transports are that keen on taking teams in, let alone a recon team that has no idea what's there. He heads out again... you swear Zipline gave some orders to just stay on the tracks but he never did this entire time. The library is just a block or two away, although it's a privately owned one. One belonging to "Opalite Technologies". Strange in itself, but there's too much activity inside. Not manpower, likely at least, but electrical and otherwise, there's a fair amount of stuff coming in, a whole lot of nothing coming out.

Approach as you see fit, gentlemen. We know nothing, that's why you're here.

He ran through his radio channels, idly listening to the conversation. He rarely bothered taking his suit off just before a mission, a hold over from his AC days.

"So anyone have any plans? I'm thinking perhaps we find an obscure entrance way."

"Let's send in some vanguards to scout the area. I volunteer to go. Anyone else?"

Rolled 2

>>33963475
"Sounds good, but we may not want to all go together. A group of 7 humans is still easy to spot, much less suits. Maybe split into small groups and try several egresses? I'd prefer going via rooftops with some people, those who are collapsed can just move in via the normal street."
Take 10 to get Hawkeye working.

>Silver had to go actually Calshot, you are able to get in if you say something. No response within the next 10 minutes though will default tot he next one on the list, >>33963152, who then gets 10 minutes (and if you don't say it) to join, then the next and so on)

Err, rolling d20, not d10.

"Agreed. I've got some nice entry tools for when we arrive but I'll take up a perch on a nearby roof until we have some solid info on the building."

"I like that plan. Collapsibles can probably get close to the library without being noticed, unless the library's area is closely guarded."

>>33963276
>I derped up and rushed and copied minesweeper's green text too, my bad.

>>33963486
Your thermal boots up... there's a basement that looks like it has far more power than it needs, but after that it gets too far down to really tell. You can tell that it's the only building in the area that's got full power running at this point though.

>>33963501
>Take 10 is a roll 1d20, you booted it up normally...
[Tech: Easy: FAIL... kinda]
The thermal doesn't really respond much. It blips on for a bit before turning itself off again, but you didn't spot anything that needed to be worried about yet, the library is the only thing that sitll has much power going throguh it now.

>>33963514
...Well, your hawkeye nearly goes critical, but the macro system picks this up quickly and disables it before it fries itself. Your eyesight's normal, nothing horrible happened, but that hawkeye certainly didn't boot up.

>>33963594
You climb up onto a nearby roof just fine. The lights are on, but nobody is inside. A few security camreas around the building, none can spot you up there yet but there's little way you can get anywhere around the perimeter without being seen normally... there are a few open doors/windows already though.

>>33963598
>Calshot is in!

>>33963654
"Alright" Collapses suit. Gentle Giant is on all fours before he gets up. "My thermal reads that there is a lot of power in the basement. I think that's where we need to go."

Rolled 62

>>33963693
Use Adhesive Tentacles to climb up to a nearby building, following Celer. Rolling Dex, Agent Ai and Martial Arts. Activating Camo as well. When I get up there, do I think with 7 Dex and 3 Speed I could jump across if I activated Celerity?

>>33963693
"A lot of cameras for a civvie building." He began to trace a mental path past the cameras. "Anyone know what the security camera's read? Because of they pick up thermal I'm not getting past on camo alone. If we don't know can we get a techie on that?"

Rolled 4

>>33963693
Deploying my scout drone to approach the library then.

"Celer and everyone, deploy your drones to do the same"

Rolled 31

>>33963725
After hearing about the cameras I decide against collapsing and just walking in. I put my suit back on. and decide to follow Boone and Celer. Roll for dexterity to climb after them. I have 5 dexterity and a Soldier A.I (-10) so it should be easy.

A series of barks and growls could be faintly
heard over the comms as DOG spoke to his AI.
Pup, as the new AI was named, flickered in and
out of the air as he walked beside his master.
DOG was still getting used to this new fangled
tech of Ghosting an AI. He bent down to pet
Pup, but his hand went through the electronic
dust particles and nearly threw him off balance.

"Dangit, boy!" DOG whispered aloud as he
steadied himself and watched as all of his
teammates scattered to head into the building.
He nimbly darted to a nearby dark corner and
awaited further intel/instructions from the Other
Guys.

DOG went ahead and activated his camouflage
so he wouldn't have to stoop down like some
common thief. He crept towards the building,
following the others inside.

>>33963749
>I don't know what you're rolling for, but drones/camo/celerity require no roll to activate.
>Also, you think it could work from the rooftop Cael's at.

>>33963780
The drone activates fine, no roll was needed... it hovers around and just out of camera reach, nothing is to be seen besides an empty building, lights on, cameras ready to look at any entry point. They're normal-standard security cameras though.

>>33963795
You climb up just fine.

Rolled 9

>>33963780
"I'll deploy my scout to stay unnoticed for now."

>taking 10

>>33963888
The scout drone, along with all the others, will launch out fine. By all means, and observation by anything besides a slightly more active basement, it seems like this place is pretty damn normal, just a library that is still on.

Rolled 19

>>33963855
Alright then, I deploy a Scavenger drone and order it to stealthily start disassembling the cameras covering the street. Rolling Tech, Agent Ai.

Activate my camo.

Take 10 to see if the front door is locked.

>>33963954
He double checks his camo against the roof floor and begins to explore for any signs of life and examining the camera wires to see where they lead.

"Now where oh where do you guys lead hmmn?"
"I don't like this guys. Not one bit."

>>33964018
The drone wouldn't have any trouble, even if you had it do it automatedly... but it WILL be seen dismantling these cameras, do you want to proceed? It doesn't seem like there's any security defenses even if they saw you though...

>>33964034
The front door is not only not locked, but one of the doors open, you could walk in and the cameras wouldn't be any wiser.

Rolled 17

>>33963855
I jump after Cael onto the roof. 4 speed, 5 dexterity and a soldier A.I should make that easy.

Rolled 14, 16 = 30

>>33963855
i'll activate my camo now then and approach the library's front door then.

take 10 to activate camo and take 10 to roll dex to sneak to front door

Rolled 26

>>33964066
Okay, have the drone return then as I jump across to the library roof. Go ahead be ready to catch myself with tentacles if need be. Rolling Dex to jump.

>>33964126
>>33964083
>>33964046
You make the jump just fine, landing safely ont he side. There's a rooftop way in camera on it, and there are vents... it's been proved on Mythbusters that it's noisy as hell, but there isn't a camera on it this time.

>>33964095
You get over to the door just fine, cameras just stationary, can't see shit if you're invisible... so on so forth.

>>33964166
Boone carefully approaches the camera, still invisible. Do I think I can safely deactivate it with my Worm platform in a way that wouldn't make it obvious there was intrusion? Agent Ai.

Rolled 1, 6 = 7

>>33964095
Celer follows Turtle in.

> take 10 for camo and take 10 for dex sneak

Rolled 18, 13 = 31

Alrighty, having my drone explore ahead of me. Taking 10 to roll tech for my scout drone to sense anything.

"Calshot, you have a drone? If not roll for sonar or radar"

Rolled 15

>>33964166
DOG sighs and steadily flies up to the
cameras. He said a silent prayer to whichever
god was listening at the moment. These old
hands havent hacked secruity systems in a
while.

>rolling to hack security systems and install Spider + Spyware.
>Agent A.I.

Rolled 18

>>33964166
"Right okay. Plan. I'm gonna check for a network inside."

>Taking 20 to scan with terminal for local networks.

>>33964221
No point in not doing so. I'm more of a combat guy.

>>33964267
>Taking 10.

>>33964221
"Hack the Camera and put it on a loop so it just shows the same minute over and over again."

Rolled 10, 11 = 21

>>33964234
"No drones, but I'll scan the area."
Scan the area with radar and sonar (take 10)

Rolled 37

>>33964166
I activate my thermal and look around.

>>33964245
[tech fail]
The security actually gives out a warnin to not continue hacking, and gives this warnin to everyone else.

The inside seems normal enough for anyone who went in. Too normal. The layout and like shows the basement stairs to be marked as the janitor closet, and tucked away in the back.

>>33964267
You find a typical wireless router here, and bare bones data and computer stuff.

>>33964699
>so do I get in successfully?

Rolled 26

>>33964699
Alright, I try to tear up the camera's power cords, making it look like a rat or bird chewed it. Rolling tech or dex, either.
Agent Ai, Martial Arts.

Rolled 38

>>33964699
The warning flashes briefly on the HUD and
DOG's fingers freeze. He shrugs and gives up
the hacking. Oh well, leave that stuff to the
kiddies.

Still camouflaged, DOG returns to the front
door and heads inside with fellow Hanse
member Cael. If this weren't a stealth mission,
he would introduce himself but that would have
to wait. He gripped the hilt of his modified
machete and crept inside.

After a step, DOG turned around and began
carefully cutting at the edges of the door to take it
off its hinges. He wanted to be sure there was an
easy escape route. He would prop the door
upright to ensure that everything looked normal
from the outside.

>Do I need to roll to do that to the door? If so, rolling.
>Agent A.I. and -5 Dex Bonus due to the attack rate of the Beam Sabre (if it matters at all)

>>33964875
>Ah, ignore the bit about Cael. I'm not near him (and I don't much like him anyway)

Rolled 15

"I'm gonna check this vent, I should be able to move through it quietly with adhesion and noise dampeners.'' He walked over to the vent and pulled the grill off slowly.
>Rolling a take 10 if you need it.

Rolled 7, 12, 13 = 32

I'll just deploy my shield...

And Sparky here.

And camo (if it's not on anymore)

>take 10 on them all

>>33965074
"Don't do that Cael, the vents will never hold your weight.

Rolled 2, 19 = 21

>>33964699
Well I'm gonna take my first steps into the library and see what's goin on.

Deploying my drones ahead of me as well

>ok sorry all but I need anothe 10-20 to do some irl stuff, pause till then.

>>33965093
Forgot to mention that Sparky is my med drone

>>33965112
"I'm with you. We should keep our chatter to a minimum from 'ere on out ."

>>33964789
>Yes.

>>33964790
The cords break up fine. A bit noisy, but these cammeras might not transmit sound anyway...

>>33964875
[Easy Dex: Pass]
The door was removed down easy enough, and then replaced okay enough... you're fairly sure a camera wasn't watching.

>>33965074
The vent opens fine, and you can slither in quieter than if you had to crawl or walk.

>>33965093
You're stealthed, inside, and Sparky is out. Now what?

>>33965112
The drones, stealthed if they are scouts, go ahead and see... well, everyone busting or walking in their own way. You guys have officially infiltrated no less than 3 different ways in now, it's safe to say that this first floor doesn't seem to have any traps.

A bit of preliminary searching later, about 10 muntes tops, you guys find the way downstairs to the basement... it was labeled the Janitor's closet in the far end of the area, whoever wanted to go down can, otherwise I assume you'd all be stealthed around inside/on the roof of the library. Nothing sucpicious so far...

>>33965562
I activate my stealth and follow behind Boone down the from the top of the building down into the center.

Rolled 5

>>33965562
A smirk crossed his lips and he began to slither inside the vent practicing moving around a bit as a sound check.
>Taking 10 on dex for stealthy movement with adhesion and noise dampeners.

Rolled 100

>>33965562
Rolling tech to try and check the door for traps and everything else. Biometrics, etc. Between the Agent AI checking for advanced stuff and my Viet-Cong memories for the low-tech, should be okay.

>>33965634
Normally? It would still sound like someone was runnign sandpaper on metal and be a fairly decent noise. As you are? Silent as fuck. You're in the vents... and after you make it part way through, some gas sprays at you. Ineffectively, because environmental controls easily negate it. Your suit detects it's a sleeping agent though, so it's a good thing you didn't get caught by it.

Rolled 5

>>33965654
FUCK. That was me, by the way.

>Take 10 on thermal vision to see if there is anything else.

Rolled 14, 10, 16 = 40

>>33965562
Celer uses radar, sonar, and thermal to check if there's anything down the basement

>take 10 for them

>>33965776
>Forgot to mention Agent AI

>>33965628
Never mind. Boone is checking for traps.

>>33965654
...You detect your teammates as a trap on your sensors. That can't be right...

>>33965679
...Nope, your suit is INSISTANT that they are a trap, and to avoid them. Stupid tech...

>>33965747
Your thermals light up, there's a fair amount of energy running around on the edges of the vents... all of them the same trap. The vent system however, only goes to the basement right now. You can tell fromt his angle though, there's a bit deeper of some stuff than one basement floor.

>>33965705
You get a layout of the area above. A simpel library. Downstairs, a 'warehouse' of a storage area, lots of computers and the like, hooked up to a computer of sorts, and a doorway that seems to lead further downstairs... what's beyond the door you can't tell anymore.

>>33965776
You find pretty mu ch the same as everyone else has so far, for their respective attempts.

Heading towards the doorway that seems to lead further downstairs.

>>33965917
A lot of ineffective gas traps hit you for 0 damage. You come to the part that goes downwards to the basement area, wish to continue?

>>33965930
You find that the door is connected to a door knob and two hinges...

Your thermals didn't help find this one out in the slightest.

>>33965941
The drone opens it up fine. There is no trap you had to worry about... just a dark stairway down. And whoever's got working thermals can tell, there's some higher power readings down there too. Fuck.

>>33966017
Your sonar rings out downstairs, this time you can tell that there's actually a few... drones? Yea, drones wandering about. Can't tell what their weapons are, but they have SOMETHING in hand...

I follow behind him but shortly split away to go to the library. Before opening the door I activate my Thermal to see if there is anyone or anything inside the library or if there is any active cameras in the library. "Me an Boone have split up." I message Cael.

Everyone was inside and not dead. Yet. DOG
looked around to admire the library. He always liked
a library, for it brought back memories of his
bookwormy high school days. He activated a
scavenger drone while it was safe to do so. It's
name was ... Jenny. It didn't do much besides stare
back at DOG because there weren't any Suits to
pick apart.

Before he followed everyone downstairs into
certain death, he quickly scanned the area and
snatched a good book to use later.

The worm and spider don't seem to connect... the spyware however, gets something. You... pick up a LOT of various data channels and the like. Before suddenly you get a message.

Your suit automatically disconnects at the detection of a hack. Something bigger is here though, that's for certain...

>>33966697
You make it down, and then hear an EMP then guns ring out. You can slither a bit ahead and see down a grate, seeing two now scrapped drones, some EMP'd computer systems, and a door further ahead past them all.

"They know we're here...."

>He is right. That was rather loud... the EMP was a good start though.

>>33967064
Well, nothing that big, just a few wires, hard drives, a few sticks of ram... nothing major, but you certainly aren't salvaging any data from these.

I'll be waiting to answer when you get here.[/spoilers] the last message resounded, before a small little erase of a file happened, her own spyware of sorts, removed itself from Celer's suit.

>Who's going down the elevator?

>>33967862
"Elevators are deathtraps. Not a good idea. DOG, mind using your sabre to cut a hole in the bottom? We can rappel/climb down the shaft. We don't want to be in a box our enemy controls. "

>>33967908
DOG thought for a second, then shrugged, "But
wouldn't being trapped in an elevator shaft be just
as bad?"

>>33967862
>>33967908
>>33967954
"I say we send it down first. If they have a trap set at the bottom it'll go off regardless when we open the doors. We send it down then move the trap will be sprung."

>>33967954
"Yes, that's bad, but we can control rate of descent and they don't get a nice warning of when we're going to arrive. Also, we can spread out so we can't all be taken out by one bomb."

>>33967862
I walk into the library on the 2nd floor (oblivious to what's currently happening). My suit vanishes, leaving me on hands and knees on the ground. I get up and start grabbing whatever document is around here to flip through, recording it into my suit if it looks important.
>Sorry. I fell asleep for a little too long.

To all of their paranoia, a girl's voice rung out. "I aint starting everyone aboard this goes down it. It's not a game unless you play it." she said to the crew. "No cheating allowed in my games... ah, right. Almost forgot that little thing... hey, girl?" she called out.

"Eh?" Zipline responded. "...Hacking!? How di-" she started, before connection was lost...

>>33968067
"...Better. Nobody to interrupt us or call out stuff for you guys while we play. She can watch the instant replay highlights after." the voice said in a joking manner. "So, what'll it be boys? Only one ride for you guys, if you have cold feet, now's the time to bail and say you found nothing!"

>Anyone who does not enter the elevator is no longer in the mission.

>>33968067
"Fuck... Does anyone really not wanna go?" He stepped into the elevator with great trepidation.
"Because I'm happy to go."

>>33968067
Ah fuck. Oh well, it was a good plan.
"Alrighty then. That's shit. Everybody get on board, I guess."
Boone steps onboard the elevator, ready for a trap.
(OFF IRC for the moment, srry had to switch comps)

>>33968096
I drop my scanning, put my suit back on and rush down to rendezvous with everyone else. Something big has just happened and I don't want to miss it. I get on the elevator right before the doors close behind me. "Will anyone fill me in on what they just did?" I ask the group on the elevator.

>>33968096
DOG listened intently, his anger rising until he
just sighed and walked into the elevator. To
keep Jenn close, he had her attach herself to
him like a backpack.

"Looks like we aint got a choice, folks. Let's

Celer deploys his Beam Ninjato to slice a hole big enough for his scout drone to fit through to check out the lower levels whilst being camouflaged.

>tech for drone

>>33968171
The drone, after making it down perhaps a few meters, instantly is riddled with bullets, and the bullets keep pelting it for most of the way down.

"I said no cheating! That means no looking ahead at what happens... and don't worry, your elevator's bullet proof." she simply said.
[Celer has lost 1 scout drone.]

>>33968165
"I wonder why the Red Queen would announce its presence. It seems intent on "playing" with us. As much as I hate to admit it we may have to play along with its games for now since it can lock down the place if we don't, meaning we won't find anything.

"Those bullets looked like they wouldn't harm a suit with durability 3. Shields would be worthless since the shots could come from any direction. However, I would not go down even if I was in a medium with durability upgrades due to the risk of her putting something heavier than conventional firearms in the shaft.

>>33968216
"Not my drone...I just bought that."

"Smart smart... I didn't bother using the explosives, I don't want to wreak your ride up again after you win. Or lose. One of them." she said gleefully, before starting the elevator down about 10 floors worth of distance.

Along the way, there is a rather interesting discussion on the shapes and efficiency of swords by a little screen on the elevator, talking about katanas and broadswords and efficiency of motions.

>>33968399

"Hmm. One of you actually won... well, congrats, you earned it, keep it!" she said on a speaker resounding through the hall. "I'll say this now: There's not a single soul down here besides you all, and maybe me. So go nuts, shoot some stuff up... and find your way to me. If you find anything else of note though, have fun keeping that in mind, asking questions, all I've got to do here is answer what you've got for me!"

A small systems malfunction did illicit a reaction
out of DOG. He instead burped and nodded his
head in agreement. "Might as well, I suppose."
He tagged along but stayed quiet and ready for
whatever was about to jump out. Jenny buzzed
but otherwise didn't make any movements.

>>33968957
Thankfully adhesion is part of movement, and you slither up the ceiling just fine, and are at the door (now hanging on the wall) on the other side.

>>33968949
"Wow, someone asked that already, I thought I'dve had to take one of you out before that one came up! Well, let me say... I'm an AI, like those ones in your suits. But more awesome. Awesome enough to think and act on my own... and someone saved me on top of that. So I work for him. You don't get his name though." she stated simply to them, as the right hallway door (and if they went to the middle/touched on the left doors) opened for them, the right side seeming to be a normal and empty hallway.

>>33968871
Boone begins to advance down the center tunnel, carefully avoiding the trap GG marked. That urban stuff wasn't fun, but this? This is where the memories in his head kicked in. His "normal" life may like shooting at long range, but his Veteran's Soul remembered the tunnels of Cu Chi, and compared to those, there was no claustrophobia or tricks a tunnel could hold.

>>33969159
>>33969108
A bit ahead, you can tell there are some drones patrolling. In a rather simple pattern. "They'll ping you guys if they see you, so have fun evading their detection. Kinda like that... what was it, metal slug solid or something?" she mentioned to those two, and anyone else who would join them at the central door.

>You must make a dex check to evade them and make it through. There's 3 parts you can duck away towards and the 'exit' you see is ahead.

>You don't need to roll to move damnit, adhesion, levitation, and flight are all included in moving. It is if you're STEALTHFULLY moving around that it matters, and that's dex. Camo is not a tech roll either.

The door opens... to reveal, by what you can see, to be a closet, broom, mop, gun and all. Wait, what?

>>33969299
There's a lot of cameras you can see. But they saw you ever since you entered the room, you can assume the cameras are not part of this 'stealth' mission. The suits however, aren't seeing you, and you even make way through this to get closer, up one of the hiding-places ahead. There's two hiding-places away before you can reach the door, also out of the 'detection path'.

"Well well well, looks like two of you are caught in a trap! Better find the way out or I gas the room with poisonous neuroto... wait, fuck. That doesn't even work... um..." she says, before her call on you two just goes dead as her joke falls flat.

The shot still hits Boone rather easily, his suit barely functional and losing more functionality as it goes, Camo fails to kick in thanks to this.

>I took your roll for dex actually...
You quickly scurry over, grab him, before taking him back to the mid-way cover point just before another guard wanders over to spot you two.

>>33969853
Boone's systems boot up a few moments later, a bit of damage was taken but it seems rather minor in the long run. "So much for a perfect stealth run." Red Queen sarcastically jokes personally on Boone's comms.

>>33969885
The broom smashes into splinters on the wall... but a few flying spinters catch your eye, specifically, fly off towards the ceiling of the room and don't come down.

>>33969984
The drone makes it part way, before dodging the grenade. Then two more, then a bunch more, before it scampers to the end of the hall. Well, looks like it made it, but god damn there are a lot of dropping grenades, no less than five dispensers.

>>33970031
No grenades seem to drop on you yet... before the room closes, locking you (and you only) inside...

>>33970119
"Hello..~" He quickly used adhesion to climb to the patch of splinters.
"What are you doing?"
"Something very stupid Calshot." He starts to feel around the splinters for an abnormality.

>>33970119
I refuse to respond to this machine. I will not give it any more information about us than it already has. Resume trying to sneak, but be ready to shoot any drones that see me. Rolling to sneak.

Also, deploy my scavenger and have it scavenge the destroyed light drone if that can happen without it being seen by the other drone.

Similarly, run checks to see what was damaged (What's my damage at).

>>33970119
"Well well well... Hm, Turtle the 2nd, according to your suit's call sign? Have you seen the movie Resident Evil? Specifically that one... with the laser walls?" she asked, before a fair amount of red lasers bleeped on inside of the room. And slowly started shifting about.

>Make 2 easy dex rolls to start off, Turtle.

>>33970031
>>33970119
>>33970210

DOG was hesitant after seeing the drone get
killed, but followed suit anyway (a few paces
behind the other two, of course). Jenny chirped
when noticing the remains of the drone, but
DOG considered it too risky to scavenge
materials right now.

As he stepped forward, he saw the other drone
make it across the hallway. Success! But then
Turtle followed it and DOG was promptly shut
out of the corridor altogether

"Oh boy. It was nice knowing ya, buddy!" he
called to Turtle. He could hear LAZERS on the
inside, but didn't know what to make of the sound.

The shots ring out and blast at the door... Courier drones don't work that way, as it eject some of your ammo, before re-planting it back into the same gun confusedly, quite a few bullets ringing at the door and leaving a few bullet holes.
>Roll a dex roll... for Sparky, Celer
>>33970453
Turtle gets too into this though, and after only dodging a laser or two, one hits him... not harming, but slashing and bloody noises start playing from the speakers. All the EMP traps drop on you, and go off. Seems she wasn't FULLY re-enacting resident evil but...

For everyone else: [TURTLE'S COMMS HAVE GONE DEAD.]

By the time the room opens, which a lot of bloody sounds and emulated screams of turtle played from within, his 'corpse' is nowhere to be seen. (And sparky's corpse may be now on the other side, if it fails it's rolls.)

>>33970426
What little was busted, such as a windshield wiper laser for your visor and some minor circutry damage, it's all fixed. Though, it expended your suit's spares and backup systems, it probably won't fix your suit up nearly as well if you take similar damage. Nothing that crucial or worht nothing was hit though, but hey, full repairs are full repairs.

>>33970446
>I'll take pitty on this good roll for...
After fixing, Boone made a quick scamper and sneak over to Gentle, both of the two now at the door to proceed, though currently it's still closed. "Congrats you two, first ones to make it past an obstacle!" she said to the two, a small congratulations sound playing as the drones paused their patrol to give an 'audience clap' for them, before resuming the patrolling maneuvers.

Rolled 95

>>33970668
So, we're at a door. Is it locked? Perhaps with a keycard we need to get from the Library? I start checking it for traps. Rolling tech... Agent AI.

>>33970732
Your AI glitches out when you try to do that and hack it open. "You idiots, no it's not locked, USE THE HANDLE." she said rather simply. "Besides, I didn't trap that door. Some of the others sure, but not THAT one." she said to the two. "What kind of idiotic game designer sends you through a stealth maze only to say 'sorry, needed the card key!' or something?"

Rolled 55

He swung his power fist at the spot covered in splinters, hoping for an easy break.
"Duck Calshot!"
>Rolling melee again for fun.

>>33970668

DOG's happy demeanor faltered as the screams of
the de facto leader of the "Let's-Go-Right Corridor
Exploration Squad" echoed over COMMs. The door
opened and the smoke cleared and there wasn't
even a body left. He stayed silent for a long while,
assuming the brave man was gone for good after
having his body obliterated by whatever trapped he
had walked into.

And the other drone, Sparky...well at least he was
more agile.

>>33970807
Your fist shoryukens through it like paper, because it IS paper, and into a steel roof. You leave an indentation into it, your fist and weapon is fine.

Up here, you can see that there's a somewhat small passage way, only one of you can fit through at a time single file fashion. It goes for a fair ways down, curving off to the right.

>>33970948
Sparky, in response to detecting gunfire, nimbly dodges the metalstorm, then a hail of autocannons, before taking cover past a corner. When the doors open, Sparky peeks out to show his master he's alive still. And in cover incase they decide to shoot through the door again...

>>33970959
Your night vision kicks in just fine. Ahead looks kinda like a maze. There's a wall which has a big X and a "Do not touch" sign in the middle of it dead ahead, plain as day, and a few offshoots to the left and right, three of them down the line to be precise.

>>33970962
"Hey, boot it up yourself." she simply said deadpannedly. It still works, just you can't do a take 10 roll on it anymore.

>>33970958
Your suit is just... inactive right now. You can feel it being moved, but it's dark. But hey, you're not dead.

>>33971057
"SPARKY! I knew you had it in you, boy!"

Sparky gives a happy bark as he is reunited with his master again.

>>33971065
> I still don't know what a take 10 roll is.

>>33971065
"Calshot! Follow me to freedom! Single file and at least 3 feet behind." He climbed up and resumes travelling through the vent is his now practiced fashion.

Rolled 20

>>33971065
"Okay, Giant, grab a tentacle. Thermals won't help you find walls anyway unless they're producing heat. I know where we're going, though."

Start walking towards the first offshoot on the left, ready for whatever will kill us. Also, use a tentacle to mark the wall where we walk.

>Really tempted to make a drone poke the X

>>33971122
I bite the tentacle and follow behind Boone.
>I need all 4 of my legs to walk.

>>33971120
"You don't have to tell me twice." He dove in the vent, tailing behind Cael.

>>33971120
The vent curves down, and down... to darkness. Got anything to see?

>>33971122
If Giant lights up his thermals... yea, he wouldn't see much, but he would notice the "Do not touch" sign and X, they had some power in them.

Oh, and when he follows you in... his targeting computer marks you as an enemy now. Yours will do the same if you look back to him. It's kinda obvious he's NOT an enemy though.

"Have fun you two, hope you're not afraid of the dark..."

To the left, well, it's actually a dead end after a single extra turn after it. Lame.

Rolled 25

>>33971214
"Fuck. Right. You lights Calshot?" He asked as he engaged his thermals for what good they'll do.
>Rolling for tech

I activate my thermal. Only being able to see things that give off heat is better than nothing at all.

>>33971250
In the little vent, you see little arrows pointing one direction, straight forwards. You wouldn't see them without thermals, but they're bright as day.

"Yup. I'll try not to shoot you. That's a dead end, we gotta keep going."
Continue on to the second tunnel.

>>33971349
The vent, for whenever Cael/Calshot exited it, would lead out into a rather dark room. It seems plain enough, concrete and stuff walls, and all, but it twisted and turned a bit ahead on the path.

>>33971429
"Calshot, you lead the way with light. I'll be behind."

"Roger that, taking point now."

Moving to the dark room

>>33971356
The tunnel twists and winds a bit, going up and down as well as left and right. One section even seems like a corkscrew.... it seems unnecessarily long, but it's shape prevents you from seeing too far ahead or rocketing on.

>>33971463
As Cael enters, his inward comms suddenly lose all senses. "Well, since you guys can see, you guys should be fine if you can't hear." she said, also cutting off Calshot's once he enters.

"Thatta boy. Not going weapons hot..?" he asked in earnest, trying to be diplomatic.

"And a new challenger enters the field... I would start you off where the last guy was at, but dude got hit by the second laser. Not even worth saving the progress." she mused with a sigh, room locking (the door ahead looking in pretty bad condition, honestly) and lasers starting up...

...Dog's pre-emptive readyness dodges the first set of lasers with ease.

>1 medium dex check, 1 easy dex check, DOG.

>>33971505
Following him in, was Celer, who failed, and instantly a tentacle reached out and started grabbing for him. "OH COME ON! Is this guy the ONLY one who can dodge the first two lasers?!?" she said annoyedly.

>A hard dex check. On Celer's HUD though was a message saying "Please wait." It may be best to just play along, for DOG's sake.

Rolled 83, 58 = 141

"Looks like we do this quietly."

Calshot motions for Cael to follow him using hand signals.

>>33971555
>>33971516
As the two approach... their computers light up. Unknown amounts, but it seems there's enemy drones ahead. Farther out than their sights, but their suits are detecting them now, approaching their position.

>>33971727
...Red Queen sighs as the lasers all fizzle off... and more EMP bombs drop in on you guys. Lots of them...

The computers showed there was a drone scampering ahead towards them. It even was giving a target lock for them, amazingly. It peeks towards you two, quietly, and the computer informs you it's a mesh type with assassination blades.

>>33971929
He took cover and quickly pulled Calshot in, covering his floodlight.

>>33971898
Your suit... yea no, it's not working yet. Perhaps in a bit. Your suit ends up ejecting onto something similar to one of those medical beds that can wheel around, and it gets shifted over... it's lit up in this room, and you can see. There's a rather large row of suits of various kinds, small to medium all lined up next to you.
If your suit was active, it would be blaring out "HACK DETECTED"... but it's not, and all you feel is a weird feeling on the back, before it goes away.On the wall, a drone slides on the wall... a rather brutal looking saw blade on it, and it's shifting towards your position.

>A very hard tech roll, turtle!

>>33972017
As Cael did this, the drone signal went away, after seeming to scamper off. You scared it off, maybe...

Red queen resounds out, the comms actually so paniced the others caught it too, before the saw slows and drifts away, a sigh sounding off on her. "Whew... forgot, automatically does that to suits we can't disable. Sorry for the scare, that wasn't part of the plan." she said simply to Turtle.

>>33972128
>>33972185
The light ahead seems to have gone off now, about when that drone went dead... a bit more approaching, and you find the drone, now headless, hell, most of it's torso is gone, and a dim sort of light is on the other corner.

>>33972083
He quickly uncovered the light and dragged Calshot out into the open, flashing the light a few times, testing his out bound comms.
"If anyone can read me this is Cael! I'm in a dark sector with Calshot and flashing his floodlights! Outbound comms are dead! Provide a signal if your not an assassin drone!"

"Coming... jeeze, you guys can't even do some basic movie style dodging cinimatics, boring." she mused on a speaker on the wall. "Anyway, this is the penalty chamber... your suit's being drained of it's power, but hey, on the bright side..." she said, disengaging his visor and whatever she could of his suit if he wanted to get out "I can't kill you. Not supposed to at least... so sit back and enjoy the show I guess." She said, a TV screen poking out of the ceiling and for Turtle to watch.

A few more moments pass, your suits don't even try to respond (Turtle's was a medium, it had relentless.) You're taken to another lit room, and you two see walls of suits, about 20 or so you'd guess, before some arms and tentacles load you onto walls...

...And your consciousness's are both taken elsewhere. Not to the suit... there's a girl in a red dress and... blue hair actually, huh. She's sitting at a pixelated looking table, and you two are free to move, your bodies are your 'own selves', and your uplifted AI's next to you too.

"You guys are morons you know that? I didn't lock any of these doors..." she mused simply. "God, next thing I know one of you will go back and touch the big red X behind you guys too." she said in a sarcastic manner.

Turtle, Dog, and Celer(and the uplifted AI's) can all see and hear her reacting to this, like watching a bunch of people fail on a gameshow.
