Brockton Bay, a city where the villains outnumber the heroes, gangs roam the street and the biggest concentration of Nazis in America.

Which is why you came here, to either join the Empire 88 and support the cause with your race or to patrol the streets against the other gangs and perhaps even against the PTR heroes, all the while promoting your own version of the ideology.

Regardless, to come here willingly where the likes of Lung and Hookwolf must mean you're a cape, so who are you and what is your power?

Supportan, with some more to throw in if people want it.

>Having been told stories by his grandfather of the brief shining glory of the Third Reich. Hermann had taken a different approach to the Nazi ideology: One of purging away the taint one has and to take themselves to greater and greater highets of what their mind and body can offer. Instead of hating the untermench like his grandfather had once did, there is only pity: for what is there not to pity about those who are predestined to be lesser than anyone else? Even if they were to struggle and improve, they will still be far lesser than even stray dogs.

>>3203514
To anyone who doesn't mind having something to read for a few weeks to months, depending on how much and how fast you read, I highly recommend it, especially the pre-weaver parts.

To Mechanicus, personally I'd recommend either having this be set a few years before canon or going with a completely different timeline as to avoid trying to mold this quest to Worm's rather complex storyline, which would most likely only take away from how enjoyable this story is going to be. That way you could also avoid including plot points that would be spoilers to yourself or others that want to read Worm at some point.

Look for a junkyard or something like that, old car and machinery parts, and a good supply of things we'll need a lot of like metal, wires and electronics.

You decide to go look for junk and scrap, walking out of your apartment you get your car keys, phone and quickly check the date, which is February 1, and leave.

Getting into you car you begin driving around in the direction of the Docks and the Boat graveyard, eventualy you find a small car junkyard and drive in, getting out you begin looking for the best trash you can find.

2 hours in and some cellphones and busted car radios later you manage to find a miracle, a nearly undamaged car engine and a car battery a few feet away, you quickly collect this treasure and put it in your car trunk and resume collecting scrap, another 2 hours later you drive away without encountering anyone which is very fortuitous, and drive home richer for the day.

>Gained 3boxes of electronics, 3boxes of scrap metal, 1 working engine and car battery.

You are now home, after bringing in the boxes and grabbing a drink you contemplate what to do for the rest of the day.

>>3203575
I'm gonna go ahead and change the mechanics cause i'm not pleased with the box thing.
You guys got 25 scrap which includes the engine, battery and electronics. 25 scrap is also what you current car can hold and with 2 trips a day you guys can bring home 50 scrap, which is enough to begin building something simple.
I'm gonna say you guys already have the tools to work with this junk and make something as another mercy.

You could also just stay independent and make the power armor, then some Tinker weapons and sell them to the E88, Kaiser doesn't have much options for Tinker tech since a lot of thinkers refuse to sell to him and those that do raise the price for him, having a tinker who sells him shit for reasonable prices is enough for him to not jump at you the minute he hears about you while also giving you the junk you need.

Basic is a strong word, i prefer the word "Primitive" or "Isn't that the power loader from the movie aliens?"

I'd say we should get some experience and build a bit of a rep before joining E88 or starting our own gang.

You decide to spend the rest of the day job hunting, booting up the laptop you spend the rest of the day looking at sereval places and suprisingly manage to find a number of offers for work, which for the job starved city of Brockton bay is extremely lucky.

Febuary 2

Today you go out and drive to the PTR to meet with someone to discuss your resume, you park you car and walk into the PTR building where you're lead to a room to discuss your qualities and why you should be hired, there's a bit of trouble when it comes to the background check due to your grandfather but you make it clear by "clarifying" that he was an "adequate" grandfather even with his beliefs and that you personally, thanks to your parents, haven't picket up any "bad habits".

Thankfully you're adequate enough against the opposition to get the job despite your grandfathers past, you drive home and have the rest of the day to do something before having to work a 9 to 5 job.

You work, shop, move stuff and plan during the weekdays, weekends are for cape activity, building tinkertech and to make it easier on my end. i might change it if i can come up with something better, maybe make it so you have 5 minor actions you can do in the weekday after work between work and shopping.

>>3203675
>Go look for a place to set up your workshop.

Wasn't there for the vote, but honestly I think we shouldn't have taken the PRT job, simply because now they know we exist. Makes it much easier to make the connection between Villain and civilian than when we're just some rando. But whatever, we'll see how it works out.
>>
>>3203685
You can't sell or rent out your apartment, you don't own it.
You could move out and buy another building, probably a proper house if you save enough money.
>>
>>3203691
If we're careful enough, we can actually DECREASE the connection due to the simple fact that no villain would work for the PRT. How do you think Coil got by? He was careful, and still is.
>>
Workshop takes it, writing.
>>
Also the first thing we should Build should be a power generator so someone dosnt find us because we Draw to much power
>>
Where's a good place to find abandoned building in Brockton bay cause looking at the map i'm thinking the Docks for proximity and because it looks like a logical place to find a bunch of empty warehouses but it's in PRT territory and there's no logical explanation they wouldn't check when they find signs of activity.
>>
>>3203694
Yeah, but Coil never saw any action, and his power was perfect for that kind of set-up. What if we get in a scuffle and get injured, and a few days later the hero we fought walks in? We can't take time off every two weeks or so. If we're demasked and not recorded it normally wouldn't be a problem because we'd be 'literally who', but now we might get recognized.

Again, not doomsaying, just saying that landing a job at PRT while being an undercover Villain doesn't make us Coil. We've gotta be careful.

>>3203698
+1, getting off the grid is a good idea

I-I swear I'm not paranoid!
>>
>>3203700
You could build a remove controlled robot instead of power armor for protecting your identity.
>>
>>3203699
The docks are PRT territory mainly because a lot of villain activity happens there, but if we keep to the more secluded sections and lay low, we should be fine. There's a lot of unused buildings there, the PRT can't patrol everything. We'd have to be more worried about other Villains, gangs or random bums stumbling upon it.
The PRT has better things to do than search every crack-head's den. Highest priority should be getting a generator up and running like >>3203698 said.
>>
You decide to look for a place to set up your tinkertech workshop, after looking at a map and some time driving around you find an abandoned warehouse in the docks and proceed to unpack your tools and prepare your workshop, after a few hours setting everything up the sun starts to set and you drive home ready to sleep.

(cont)
>>
>>3203703
That'd be cool, but this>>3203510 power armor is too badass.
It would be really cool though to have a robot that we can control from smth like a seat where we're fully immersed into the controls for most stuff, and only bust out the power armor for stuff that needs a more personal touch.
Imagine the heroes being happy to finally have brought down the armored badass only find out it was a robot.
And then the next week there's a new, improved one.
>>

I agree with you.
I think our second action should be to build a server to store all of our information; our third action should be to build a manual mechanism to wipe everything if we should have any reason to abandon the base.

We Can just make the nazi power armor into a robot
>>
>>3203708
Well we're only getting started, I don't think we need a server yet - though personal communication lines are definitely a must.
Well, let's start out with a generator and workshop, and then we can start working on the armor, part for part. I'd say start with a chestplate and gauntlets for protection and harder hitting, and a simple helmet just to keep our identity secret.
>>3203711
But what's the point of having power armor when you can't personally punch stuff with it?
>>
>>3203707
a robot for make weaker and learn how the enemy fights and then the power armour for finish them.

>>3203711

having a power armour is still a good thing, the last thing we need is be defenseless if in a fight the heroes destroy all of our robots and find us.
a normal house in the countryside would cost a lot ?

February 9 Week 1. I might scale this back cause you definitely wont have enough time to make everything and begin your rise to power before Taylor takes down lung.

It's been a week since you got a job in the PTR, you were the talk of the office during the entire 5 days of work once it got out about your grandpa being a German WW2 vet, you luckily managed not to spill any spaghetti and handled the probing with tact which got you accepted by your co-workers.

During that time you of course hear all about cape news, such as the gangs being gangs and how the heroes stopped another cape fight between them. Now that it's the weekend and you got some free time you wonder what to do.

I want to build a cheap weapon before we sink time into power armour. We should have some rudimentary defences.

300 scrap since you have a car engine and battery. One time only deal.
>>
>>3203748
You uh... can't build that yet anon. Insufficient Scrap. >>3203729
>>
>>3203742
>Generator V1
it would probably be 200 scrap or so
>>
>>3203742

>Power Generator V1

Even if it is just one, it will be good
>>
>>3203753
Nah 300 since it's the same size that the railgun prototype.
I should make the powerfist prototype cheaper since it can't be as big shouldn't i.
>>
>>3203742
Generator
Start the transition to support our new workshop, we don't have a theme right?
>>
>>3203756
If you're talking about what you're tinkertech looks like no, it does not have a theme unless specified. Even if specified the first versions will look like something an Ork Mec built.
>>
>>3203757
Cool, but I kinda meant what are our limits with our tech
>>
>>3203757
Keep in mind that any usable tech will be the product of multiple passes.
Therefore, the actual cost for a V3 generator (which I assume to be on par woth stamdard Tinker bullshit) will likely be something like 500-600 scrap.

If we ever need a cape costume, might I suggest this

Costs may increase or even decrease depending on how you upgrade the tech, it depends. I'll probably have it so any miniaturization upgrade you make also decreases the cost, at the risk that at some point it starts losing so advantages due to size constraints. The opposite is true so if you keep upgrading without messing with the size you'll only gain, making it bigger will give a big bonus to what it's supposed to do.
Basically, if you want to power a robot, you make the generator and keep shrinking it down, if you want to power a block you bump up the size.
>>
>>3203775
Of course. It'll be hideously expensive depending on what but this i almost will only decrease in cost as you improve it.
>>
>>3203764
Anything your shard will have trouble with, things like perpetual motion machines and other extreme stuff like that. Just propose an idea and i'll tell you if it's too much even for a shard. Your shard will encourage you to try and build such things anyways since that's it's entire purpose.

>Gained Medium sized Gasoline/Diesel Generator.
>Scrap remaining: 75

After a few hours you have built your first ever tinkertech devise. It looks like complete shit, is very loud, shakes constantly even when not on and you think it may explode but you already have ideas on how to upgrade it, which may involve taking it apart and building it all over again.

My name is Hermann Schmidt. I'm 20 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Brockton Bay, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the PRT, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone. This is basically Hermann.

This sounds amazing. It could very well be our trigger: a billion and one things are going wrong. Our family is breaking apart after gramps died, we're going through financial trouble, the political situation is looking bad.
And out of nowhere our little brother gets fucking maimed in an accident. And that pushes Hermann over the edge, and he triggers. Using his power he makes some shitty implants to save Hans, who dies not long afterward because shitty tech is shitty.
>>

>This sounds amazing. It could very well be our trigger: a billion and one things are going wrong. Our family is breaking apart after gramps died, we're going through financial trouble, the political situation is looking bad.

If it helps, the original idea for the Tinker power trigger even was that you would have been a college graduate who attempted to get some money and renown as a scientist by experimenting and inventing stuff but failed repeatedly due to his beliefs and not being very good until it got to a point for a trigger event. With how Bakuda triggered from a bad grade it seems acceptable.

Here’s hoping we don’t get robot, I hate those.

>>3204096
From my rendition, I was thinking of having our shard be leet's shard; since it canonically wants leet to die so it transfers to someone new. As is, we can be seen as a reverse of leet's dynamic: he made shitty things once and we make shitty things better through multiple iterations.
>>
>>3204222
Drones are ok as long as they are not an AI waifu, also even if we could get some robots minions they usually aren't worth the effort unless we are a paranoid megalomaniac or have 0 chances of getting human minions, with the materials it would take to make 1 humanoid robot i am sure we could outfit 3-5 of our minions with power armor or some tinker devices
>>
>>3204292
I'd prefer it if our shard was something new and separate from known shards like Leet. I don't like the idea of just writing out a canon character cause their power is very similar to ours.
>>
>>3204309
>AI Waifu
>Inb4 we Cuck armsmaster
>>
our shard is an abbadon shard
>>
also we are trying to become a tinkertech supplier of the empire and not a part of it right?
>>
>>3204309
It depends on both the power armor and robot designs, power armor you make can have some variations ranging from light exoskeleton to Fallout power armor to something barely away from counting as a mecha. Robots have far more variety, you can have exploding roombas, quadcopter drones, spider robots, terminators, ED-209s, warhammer dreadnaughts even vehicular robots which are just AI/remote piloted tanks or aircraft.
So if you compare terminators and Fallout style power armor they should be about the same in cost, but light exoskeletons vs terminators are obviously gonna have the power armor be cheaper and vice versa.
>>
>>3204292
leet's shard lets him build ANYTHING that is tinker tech and they where very good things the problem comes from the fact that you can't
generally make a tinker devices from exclusively one field, if he uses a schematic for say a power storage he can´t reuse said schematic like the first time EVER and anytime he tries to use the same schematic he risk an exponentially higher chance for it to missfire/break or blow in his face, due to the nature of his power when he first got it he just made whatever he liked and such reckless tinkering severely crippled all his future projects
>>
>>3204336
so how cheap would a b1 droid be?
>>
>>3204332
I think the general consensus was that we would make our own Freikorps because E88 suck?
We’d probably need some actual legitimate business to fund our thing though.

Pretty cheap, same as a light exoskeleton, however the B1 will be shit at fighting unless spammed so using exoskeletons would be better overall. Or you could upgrade the AI's intelligence at no cost so the B1 will use things like stealth and tactics which takes time to train a human for.
>>3204350

>>
>>3204359
I am sorry, but robot make a story uselessly stale, it basically take away as much human interaction as is possible.
>>
>>3204345
What about trying to take over the grocerys and the city's food distributors, they'll never suspect the tinker who always uses heavy-duty power armor and multitude of gadgets to run the food stores, little they know that we divert part of the products to create create and devlop our underground army aryan Übermensch's
>>
>>3204359
It’s exacerbated by the fact that the premise give the Character an ideology, how does that even work? You give him and ideology than let him build stuff that will basically make any human interaction pointless and unnecessary as far as efficiency goes,what’s the point then, to have an ideology but not force interaction with others? Might as well just make him a rando.
>>
>>3204391
You're talking about how given the chance players will just build robots to do stuff for them while ignoring interactions with people right? I get your worries but i've seen a non-worm cape quest where the protagonist was a robot building villain before and anons willingly interacted with characters then so i think it'll be fine here.

Week 1 Day 1
PROLOGUE
'Owner Of A Lonely Heart'
You awake from a dreamless sleep, your eyes hitting the run down ceiling. Getting up, you walk around the house absentmindedly trying to decide what the hell you're going to do today. Deciding to go without breakfast, you check the junk you've made that's stored inside your house. Most of it's unusable, although something's telling you could improve
>A ray-gun that doesn't fire 3/4 of the time (Tier 1-Low)
>A unfinished prototype for some-kind of exoskeleton (Tier-? ?)
>A metallic mask, this does actually work, although something telling you could expand upon on it greatly (Tier 1-High)
>Tiers go up to 1-4, 1 being basically extremely basic or unusable and 4 being top grade tinker gear, furthermore in every tier there's low, mid and high. If for example you improved a item that's tier 1-high, it would become a tier 2-low. Crits and critsfails can also influence these, but I'll expand on that later.
There's also several long term problems that need to be addressed, money of course is a big issue. You currently have enough to keep the rent up for about a couple of weeks, but you need income. Additionally, you're going to need a base of operations to store equipment and materials, you've already gotten a few weird looks from the neighbors from bringing scrap inside your home, and if you do decide to take this cape thing seriously you need to make sure your civilian life is not compromised.

"Good morning everyone, this channel four news". "Last night a group of Villains robbed The Brockton Bay Central Bank, luckily we have Dick on the scene, what exactly happened there?"
A surprisingly young man beings speaking in-front of the bank in question "To put in simple terms Robb, we don't know. I've heard from several witness that the group of villains took everyone hostage, but luckily none of the civilians were killed or injured. The PRT has yet to comment on the exact details here Robb, but they're refusing to let anyone in after 'collateral' damage. It seems like to me, personally, one of the ''heroes'' that responded screwed up, and they're afraid to admit it".
"Thank you Dick, in other news..."
The newscaster beings to drone on about topics you couldn't care less about. Getting up, you begin to get dressed in semi Formal attire. You're pretty sure there's a job's noticeboard somewhere nearby, you've gotta start somewhere...

After walking through your local shitho-street you finally find what you're looking for, the noticeboard. Glancing through, nothing stands out at first, but after careful inspection you find the perfect job

'Guard/Manager needed for the local scrapyard, you're expected to clean and guard the place, one man job, the only requirements are to be able work through the night shift. More details at this address...- Richard'

Smirking devilishly, you begin walking towards the address specified with a wide smile, it seems your ancestors have blessed you today, and you won't let it go to waste.

Standing outside the scrapyard, you're hit with a realization that this is the place you've STOLEN from for materials. Luckily, you were never caught due to your glorious genetics, but... fate works in mysterious ways.

Heading towards what at a glance, looks like some of shack guarding the main entrance, you knock on the makeshift door. After a few moments the door opens and you're met with a saggy middle aged man. "What the fuck do you want sunny' boy?"

Barely being able to suppress your desire to laugh your ass off, you begin placating the man.
"I'm here for the job you posted on the noticeboard,sir'
"Why the fuck' should I give you job, boy!?'
"Because I'm a hardworking American in the need of a job, sir" You almost choke on a word while putting on this display, but it can't be helped.
"Good! get your ass in here and I'll tell you the what's and when's!"
Moving inside, the man gestures for you to take a seat opposite to him. "Now listen sunny' boy, me and the wife are about to go on vacation tomorrow, and we need someone to make sure no one ransacks this place while I'm gone. Recently those fucking good for nothing hobo merchants have started coming here in nighttime, this is where you come in. Every Sunday a good friend of mine will come check this place at 5PM and if he finds no problems, you'll receive a good 500 bucks, not bad right?"
Nodding, the man continues
"Your basic duties are to kick the living shit out of ANYONE that trespasses in here, of course you need to make sure this place is clean and safe, but this shouldn't be a problem. Any questions?"

For once, the man becomes unusually silent for a few moments. "The guy's name is Lioc, weird name, if I remember correctly he's half European or something, but I never payed it any interest."

>Any deliveries or something like that?
"No, I've already made sure that we tripled our usual deliveries last month to make up for my soon to be absence."

>People that ass I shouldn't kick?
"Just the guy I've mentioned, if that's it kid you start tomorrow." Taking out set of keys from a locker, he passively hands them to you. "I should only be away for... three months, kiddo'. Make sure to lock the gate after you've finished looking after this place for the day. If you need any extra equipment to fill in a gap in the fence or something similar, ask Lioc." After giving the man a handshake, you begin walking back home a bit dazed, you didn't expect this any of this go as well as it did.

Eventually returning home, you realize that it's still early in the afternoon. Thinking about the situation clearly, you've come to grasp that you've solved two potential problems. Assuming you can hide your... tinker habits from this 'Lioc' person, you can effectively make all the tinker gear you want alone with an absurd amount of materials right next to you, it's basically the base of operations you were asking for! Of course, you no longer need to worry about money, how hard can it be to beat up some dirty hobos?

I like how you decided to interpret the Shit-to-Great drawback i made cause my original plan was to have everything you mane be akin to the first invention of it's kind, for example a tinkertech computer would have been refrigerator sized with vacuum tubes and those old tape wheels, then you would have chosen some upgrades that mimicked other Tinkers specialization until you had either a regular sized supercomputer or a fridge sized supercomputer with the latter being way better than the former.
>>
>>3208470
Forgot the rest of my post .
If anons built that Raigun when i was running the quest they would have gotten something as big as a couch that might fail to fire half of the time but could punch through a modern tank or two. Having them have Shit-at-First Tinkertech they can actually hold with their hands is much fore fun.
>>
>>3207482
I guess I'd be okay with that, but I'd rather crit a bit more often than that, like on d100. D20 with crit confirms gives you a 1/400 chance to crit, compared to 1/100 on d100.

By the way how are you gonna handle Tinkertech upgrades? Just have it be a "Upgrade to Tier X-whatever" and that'll make it better or will the be more details?

>>3209095
There'll be more details depending on what exactly you want it to better at
For example if you wanted to make ray gun to fire most of the time, and succeeded, it would probably move onto tier 2, mid.
Or if you wanted your metallic mask to have some gimmick like night-vision it would move onto tier 2-high
It honestly just depends on what exactly you're upgrading and how well you roll
>>
>>3209133
Cool, i was gonna go for something like this.

>Motorbike 1.0
-Engine.
>Miniaturize Tier 1.(Conflicts with Maximize)
>Maximize Tier 1.(Conflicts with Maximize)
>Modularize.
>Expand fuel type Tier 1(alcohol)
>Improve power output per Gallon Tier 1.

>Maximize Tier 1.(Conflicts with Maximize)
>Modularize.
>Write in.
-Misc
>Add armor to hull Tier 1.
>Reinforce inner frame Tier 1.
>Write in.

And then when they get to a point they're maxed out or satisfied they can essentially make a Standard Template Construct for it so they don't have to go through the processes all over again if it get's trashed, at the cost that they probably can't remove or change any of the upgrades so if they want a slightly different Motorbike STC they have to start from square one for it.

After finding it out that your muscle injuries have, for the most part, disappeared, you decided to do your usual comfy morning routine of toast and coffee. Ignoring your outright embarrassing display yesterday, things are looking good. You're sure your grandfather is proud. You're still left with a tingeing sense of uncertainly ahead, doing this whole cape thing alone is usually a bad idea from what you've heard on PHO, and there's still a dozen factors about your identity from here forward, you haven't even decided on name yet.

"Good Morning, this is your host Robb Brown on Channel 4 News.

If you have seen her anywhere in the last 24 hours, or have any indication about her whereabouts, we ask that you contact the police immediately.

Ignoring the emotionless rambling of this generic news presenter, you begin thinking about what exactly you should call yourself.
A few ideas come to mind, you can always call yourself something German like Wunderwaffer, or perhaps something with 'doctor' in the name? After thinking seriously about this you decide to call yourself...

After deep consideration you opt for Eitri, from what you remember about those old comics you grandfather had he was a dwarf king who built some mythical hammer. Regardless, it fit for a tinker's cape name, and it wasn't so bad that you would get laughed at for uttering. Finishing your breakfast, you decide it's about time to start 'work'. gathering a couple of none-seen through plastic bags, you throw in some of the usable junk you've made inside, there was no use keeping them here when you had a perfect place to store them.

Following the same route you used yesterday, you arrive at the entrance. Taking out keys, you open the shack's door first. Turning on the light, you take a quick gander around the place. Nothing drastic stands out, although you find a note stuck on what you could barely call a desk

Good luck - Richard

Smirking devilishly, you gently place the bags you carried onto the floor and begin to think about your first plan of action. Should you start exploring the place to get a good grasp of the area? Or should you start immediately letting that tinker 'itch' come out?

Deciding that checking out the area would be the wiser choice, you leave the shack and head towards the chained up Fence gate. It takes a few aggravating minutes to figure out where each key goes where, but you finally manage to open the damn thing.

Good god! The man wasn't lying when he said they tripled their deliveries, the place is practically filled to the brim with cars that are damaged beyond repair. After walking around aimlessly for a few minutes, you almost being drooling about the possibilities.You could practically build a damn robot here if only the neighbors didn't notice.

After walking for what felt like hours, you satisfy your curiosity. Somehow, there's no fence hole's anywhere you've seen, which is practically a miracle.

After arranging a few keen estimates in mind from what you've saw, you come up with
(3000 Low Level Material)
(500 Mid Level Material)
(15 High Level Material)
1/2
>>
>>3209396

Walking back to the gate, you begin to see something unusual. At first, you think see some off looking car part among a pile of scrap, but after shifting a few things, you see a... manhole?

Stamping your foot on it, you can tell it's tightly sealed. It doesn't look old, in fact it looks rather new for manhole standards, why would a scrapyard have this here?

> Manhole ??? discovered

Shrugging it off, your mind beings to wander on what exactly you should start building. You'll need a generator and several other tools if you want to build some quality stuff, but for the meanwhile you can try some low level tinkering as well.

What now?

Whatever you do, your mind keeps going back to that manhole. Currently, you lack any proper tools to open the damn thing but...
You immediately think of a wielder, not only would this make your current problem's child play, but it would be essential in your tinkering escapades. Turning to face the endless piles of scrapped cars, you let out a wide grin, IT'S TIME!

>Rolled 17 (DC was 16)

After a few hours creating and recreating, you're left with all the fruits of your handwork. Letting out boisterous, over-dramatic laugh you begin to inspect your newly created toy

With the welder in hand, you begin the process of slowly taking off the manhole. It's a surprisingly lengthy job since you're trying to avoid permanently scaring your eyes, but after a good half an hour you finally manage it. Carefully you succeed in taking it off.

Looking inside, you see ladders descending into a dark abyss. Testing the waters by throwing a random piece of scrap inside, it take about 10 seconds before you hear a faint impact. Dropping the welder nearby, you begin to descend, regardless of the circumstances.

After a minute or two, your feet finally feel a floor. Taking your hands off the ladders, you take out your grandfather's old lighter and turn it on.

After a few minutes of searching the wall for anything, you finally find what looks like a switch. After slamming it down your eyes are hit with intense light. After a minute adjusting your eyes you begin looking around... finding nothing. You're met with a completely empty 'room'. There's a huge amount of space here, and it's not being used at all. The floors are practically clean, and the walls themselves don't look older than an year. Wandering around, you left thinking who hell would build this? Why? Confused, you're left wondering if could re-purpose this forgotten place to store all you're tinkergear, hell, you could turn this place into your own laboratory if you wanted. It's not like the owner of this place is coming back soon

No, your intuition tells you. Everything here feels wrong, something's not right here. Regardless if it's the CIA or some secret super villain's extra hideout, opening this up was a mistake. Slamming the switch upwards, you begin running towards the faint light. Grasping up the ladders with renew vigor, it takes you only a minute to reach the surface. Grabbing your nearby welder you begin the operation of reattaching the bloody thing

>17, Bare success

After what feels like hours, you've managed to brute force the thing back on. Letting out a sigh of relief, you notice it's still mid afternoon. Looking at your welder, you can tell it's not going to last long at this point. Sighing, you try to make your tool more permanent

11, still needs more work
While you've certainly made some progress, you still need focus more time and resources to make sure this thing has any kind of longevity. Looking around, you can see sunset covering the entire city

After mulling over your options, you decide that slacking off the first day wouldn't be a wise decision. You begin making rounds around the endless rows of unusable rows of cars. You begin reflecting on the day, you started making your own tools, you discovered... something. While it may not seem mind-blowing at first, this whole cape thing gets more and more bizarre. After a couple of hours patrolling, you decide that enough is enough. Placing the welder inside the shack alongside your other tinker gear, you begin locking everything up. Finally you start the walk back home.

Eventually returning home, you realize that you're fucking starving. Searching through the cupboards, you decide to make some simple sausage sandwiches due to your lack of cooking skill. Finishing your meal, you immediately decide that sleep is one thing you need. Entering your blankets, you begin to dream about two big 'worm' creatures.

>>3210649
I see that, but I also want to have the reactions of whoever "kills" "us" recorded when we for no apparent reason suddenly dissolve into a puddle and drain away because it was just a Doombot.
Limiting ourselves just for the old Nazi aesthetic is fucking stupid and something the Nazis themselves wouldn't do. WE MUST INNOVATE. VORSPRUNG DURCH TECHNIK.
Also sure we can have the Aesthetic on most of our shit but we need a secret weapon that doesn't have a swastika emblazoned onto it by default.
>>
>>3210714
I also don’t like the breaking into nanomachines concept because anything with a proper AOE energy attack will blow those things into dust. And I wasn’t referring to Nazi AESTHETIC, but rather technologies which are clearly functional and have weaknesses which can be easily compensated for. IMO more gun, more armor, more ergonomics, more optics, and more horsepower are reliable routes of design which will serve us better than any convoluted scheisse.
>>
>>3210824
It's a decent concept for every non combat scenario depending on their ability to take the appearance of other things.
Nanobot Facemask to shift our appearance, Nanobot Suit to disguise ourselves as other heroes or villains etc.
Also we could attempt to use them infiltrate our enemies bodies and mess with their organs.
If we can pull it off It's a ridiculously useful invention and shouldn't be discounted because it might be weak durability wise.

'The Man Who Sold The World'
Sitting in your chair, you begin to ponder about what exactly you should do with your new piece. Pressing a button, you call someone in
In another world, you're enjoying a nice relaxing sleep.
You close that reality, while sleep would be preferable, you're at a critical junction. You need to get the ball rolling. Mr Pitter walks into the room with his black sweater, his round glasses giving you a wavering look.

"I trust you've managed the injections I asked you earlier?"
"Yes"
"Good, I trust you've had no breach of conscience either?"
He shook his head, men with problems become quite loyal once you offer them salvation. Smirking, you split realities again

In both realities, you enter the girl's assigned room.
She's visibly dazed when you first see her, likely the result of your meddling. Dressed entirely in white, her eyes eventually move to meet yours.
She mutters a request, pleading for 'home'. Moving closer, you decide to experiment
In one reality, you tell her flatly No. She begins screaming, and you decide to close that world
"I'm afraid I can't let you go home just yet, but I can offer you more... 'candy'"
"C-candy...?"
"Yes, that weird feeling your body's been begging for. Although only if..."
"If... what?"
"You see, pet, you have a special gift. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, those weird numbers in your head. I need them, and I need them in response to my questions."
After a few seconds of consideration, she lets out a weak nod.
"Let's start with a simple question, what are the chances I die within in the next 24 hours?"
"0.00000034%"
"Good, now..."
You split realities again, you begin asking her question after question. After the 10th, she begins refusing, claiming her head hurt. Crushing that reality, you keep asking about several topics, but your fears have been confirmed. From what you've gleaned so far, an end-bringer or something similar will attack Brockton bay within the next month or so, there's also several alarming probabilities about the next two years, but you'll tackle that problem later. You couldn't of imagined she'd be this useful this early.

Leaving the room, you instruct Mr Pitter to give her a medium sized dose. Walking back to your headquarters, you begin forming plans. Luckily, you constructed several bunkers around the city in case of an end-bringer, assigning one of your men to check them wouldn't be a bad idea either...

Alright lads, those will be the last story/writing updates of the thread, I know this may seem annoying but can any of you archive this thread for me? Tags wise, Just put Akire, Worm, Capeshit and whatever else you think is applicable.

Moving on, what do you think we should call this? I've been stuck on a name for quite a bit

I wonder if Coil has been feeding the girl meth.
>"I'm afraid I can't let you go home just yet, but I can offer you more... 'candy'"

Because this sounds like withdrawal to me.
