Thanks for watching! Welcome to Agent's Dossier,
a Delta Green actual play series brought to you
by 12 Sided Stories. And now your GM, Wes Otis.
Hello, Patreon listeners. Thank you for coming
and checking out Agents .ca. This is episode
17, and we have some wonderful players. Let's
start with Jay. Hi, y 'all. Jay Holtham here
playing Mars Paulson. Just looking to fight someone
eventually. That'd be nice. Hi, I'm Pooja, and
I'm playing Robin Porter, a doctor who regrets
many of her choices at the moment. Hey, guys.
I'm Mac, and I'm going to be playing Desiree
Kimball, and I have a wedding to plan, man. Whatever
cubes me to bones. Hey, I'm Saint and I'm playing
Norman Morales. And he's got a feeling that somebody's
watching him. Hey, I'm Michelle Otis and I am
playing Perla Ayala, who, you know, is doing
the best she can under the circumstances, which
right now is running and screaming in terror.
So last episode. Mars and Desiree were checking
out the tire factory. Mars went in, actually
looked through the windows, checked out everything.
A couple of cops came by. They obviously had
gotten a call from someone to try to get Mars
to go away, probably. And Desiree did a whole
acting persuasion thing and basically got them
to drive off. But now you know, Mars, that there
are two people inside at least, that the entire
place is a facade. Just beyond the fake wood
is a steel reinforced area. Meanwhile, Norman
went to a local electronics store where a fellow
NSA worker came by and warned him that his hotel
room was bugged and that... For some reason,
they were being sloppy on purpose, letting you
all know that they're there and that they're
basically doing a big fishing expedition to figure
out why Norman is doing what he's doing. So Norman
bought himself a bunch of electronic stuff, made
a bug, has a new laptop that's not being monitored,
figured out where all the bugs are. And over
at the dig site, the cube started letting off
these. energy arcs from it. There's a silver
sphere in the middle of it that has a liquid
feel to it, like a mercury feel to it. Everyone
backed off a ways. You sent in a robot to get
a sample and the cube used the droid to hone
in on the guy who was moving it. to send one
of these pulses of energy to strike him. He fell
down. When Robin ran over to help, she felt like
he was a big balloon at that point, almost like
a waterbed mattress, pushed down on his chest,
and he exploded in water and goo. This sent Perla
running. She took a huge hit to her resolve pool,
and Robin is just sitting there, frozen with
her hands. at the back of this guy well at the
back of this guy's back because we went all the
way through and that's where we're picking up
right now robin basically the guy split like
a balloon all the way down the only thing that's
left of him as you're frozen there you see that
his brain and his nervous system are still there.
They're the only things that were not liquefied,
but his brain has been changed. It's a different
color and his eyes, the tissue from his eyes
to his brain is there. But of course you've split
him. So now they're just kind of, everything's
just kind of sloshed off to the side or slouched.
His bones are gone. So Russ comes running up.
grabs you and starts dragging you. Basically,
all of your muscles have locked up. You hear
him yell, go find Perla to another agent and
get everybody completely behind the secondary
barrier. And you hear movement, but you've taken
this huge thwap to your resolve. Mars, as you're
looking around, your cell phones vibrate and
you feel a text come in. When you look at it,
it's from Agent Roos, and it says, we all need
to talk now. Come to the dig site. All right.
Well, I will follow suit and go collect Desiree
and get in the car and drive to the dig site.
Okay, Norman, you get the same text. Everybody
gets the same text, basically saying, come on
in, we need to talk. Does anyone not go, or does
everyone go? I guess I go. you're the one that
i asked the question for because you're the one
that's most likely gonna weigh your options i
had to think real hard about it i'm gonna go
but i'm gonna put a uh 10 hour mix of extreme
screamo dubstep on okay i'm just gonna i'm gonna
let that just rock on youtube on the bug laptop
And I'm going to bring up like a half played
game of solitaire. So it just looks like I'm
raging. Just, just before we move from you, Norman,
can you give me an electrician role or whatever?
Electronics? Yeah. Give me a role. Okay. Yes,
it's fine. I got 13 under my 30. Wow. Cool. One
thing that pops in your brain as you're putting
on your very loud dubstep stuff is this tire
factory is on a different grid. The turrets aren't
on a different grid, so you could probably find
where that energy point is coming from and, you
know, turn off a lot of their power pretty easily.
I mean, it would take a little work, but it's
not like shutting off the whole city. You could
just shut down them. Hmm. Okay. So I realized
this as I was hanging out in the room before
I set all this stuff up. You realize it as you're
grabbing all your stuff and putting on dubstep
to get out the door and head over to the dig
site. Okay, so I'll carry this thought with me
as I go over there, I guess. I want to share
the info with people before I do anything else,
but yes, okay. I'm going to take that with me,
take that thought. So all of you get back to
the dig site. Everyone is a full 300 yards. Or
three football fields away from the cube at this
point. They're way out. You're by the freeway.
You see Robin is in all different clothes. And
she looks like she's been hosed down. And she's
got a blanket on. You know, she's shaking a little
bit. Something horrible has happened to Robin.
You can just tell. Perla is walking back and
forth in a circle. You all have moved past the
effects at this point, but it's still very evident
that you've seen something that is on your mind.
I think Perla would have volunteered to be hosed
down. So, Roos calls all of you over and gets
all the information from you. What's going on
with the tire factory, all this different stuff.
He then fills the three of you, Mars, Perla,
and Norman in on what happened and says, we need
to make some decisions. We need to make some
moves. If this thing can do that, it's obviously
a bigger threat to the city than we had first
thought. But the problem is, is... How do we
move it without it making people into whatever
the hell that thing was, a water balloon? So
I think we need to strike at the factory and
find out what's going on. Or we nuke this thing
from orbit. I like the way you think. I don't
know if I can get clearance for that, but we
may have to get people out of the city, come
up with some bullshit reason. and hit it with
something that's big enough to blow it up. Have
you tried burning it? I'm just curious. No, we
haven't said anything to it like that, so...
I mean, is there a reason we don't just skip
right to that? Because whatever's happening here
is not cool. Well, the thing with Edna Bay affected
a huge area. I mean, property damage is property
damage. If it happens, it happens, but... What
exactly? happened in Edna Bay? What caused the
meltdown? So there was a team out there of agents
who was looking into the same kind of thing.
A weird chemical was being sent to them to Edna
Bay, a fishery. And the two people that were
sent out there were just supposed to find out
what was going on with the factory. We got a
report from them that there was some kind of
monster or thing fused together. Three older
agents, they had already sent out some agents
before, and that the chemical was coming in and
being processed. And meanwhile, there was also
a secondary cult there. We don't know if it had
anything to do with the fishery. Is it a cult?
Yeah, a cult. Okay. They were planning on going
in. to the factory something went wrong because
unlike the tire factory that factory was a working
place with people doing a job to make a cover
story and there was a huge explosion and it leveled
like if you look at the pictures when you look
at the pictures you see where the trees were
cut off from where the explosion and the concussion
from the noise came was it involving a cube like
this Yeah. And we believe that the cube exploded
because we did send people in to check out the
area and the cube was gone. So the question is,
is this the same cube or is this a different
one? You know, at this point, I'm just worried
about any more people getting hurt. So let's
throw around ideas. What do you all think we
should do? Well, there is this focus on the factory,
our tire factory. I have determined that I can
at least temporarily shut down their power source,
their mysterious power source. It's not so mysterious.
It was very sloppily done. But it's merely a
flick of the switch from the right source. However,
getting in and seeing what's in there, probably
we need a little more recon. Okay. Well... Fools
rush in, I get it, but we also need to do something.
I mean, to evacuate, can we manufacture an emergency?
Say there was a chemical spill or say there's
a hurricane coming or something, you know, where
we can evacuate a certain radius. Oh yeah, we
do that all the time. A hurricane might be difficult,
but like a fake gas leak or something like that
could work. Or a threat? Or a threat or something.
Because, yeah, we need to evacuate the whole
city. Yeah. How about... chemical contaminants
threat, maybe cesium, water supply, something
like that. I can draw up a mock bulletin. Yeah,
I think that's what we're going to have to do.
Yeah. Yeah. All right. I would still want to
know what's in that tire factory. We need to
know what's going on with that. So I'm going
to start that. Norman, why don't you work with
me? Meanwhile, the four of you, now with the
information you have about the tire factory,
figure out. The best way to get in, Norman can
cut the power for you if you like, or you can
go in through the, I'm sure that it's hooked
up to the sewer system or whatever, which we
always go back to for some reason. It's the easiest
way into modern places. I don't know if I can
do the sewer right now. We're not doing the sewer.
I'm not going down there. Now, when we start
clearing out this place, the guy that you spoke
of, might come back. So it might be a good chance
to bum rush him and get him to open up the doors.
But it's up to you all how you want to move forward
with that. We know the code because when Bandage
Guy went in, someone was able to scope the code.
So we have the code. So you can either wait for
Bandage Guy or you can just go in there now.
It's up to you. Norman, how long do you think
it'll take us to get a press release together?
Well, if we want to stick with CCM, which is
one of my favorites, I can definitely pull one
up in about 20 minutes. It sounds pretty believable.
Get it viral. Okay. Yeah. Okay, give me a signet
roll. Right. Okay, let's see. Got to get under
40. 42. So, Desiree, the thing that crosses your
mind is you've been thinking about your wedding
and everything else, and Sonia is inside the
city limits. Do you want to get in touch with
her before this notice goes out? Yes. Okay. So
you call her up. She's all like, where have you
been? It's been like, we've got a wedding. Oh,
I know. I've been working on it. I've been working
on it, like, nonstop. Those flowers? Yeah, they're
a little busy, and honestly, I'm rethinking the
blue and white. It's so stereotypical. I actually
have to go out of town for some business, but
I was also thinking that maybe you would want
to go out of town and see your parents. It's
been a while, and, you know, reconnect with them
before the wedding. I don't think I would use
my one phone call for wedding planning. So no.
Just checking. It's just always that I'm always
worried. Are you in trouble? Like, are we going
out of town together? Or are you going out of
town separately? I have to go separately for
work. Okay. Yeah, it's a business trip. All right,
I didn't want to spoil the surprise, but I was
going to send you to a really nice spa, like,
where your parents are. I just, I wanted, I want
you to, like, treat yourself. And, you know,
I know how much this is stressing you out, and
it's stressing me out, too. And, you know, I
just, I thought I would do something nice for
you. I rolled, and she bought it. She's all like,
okay. and dealing with registries and everything
else, so I'll head out. Now you know you have,
like, 20 minutes until this press release goes
out, but she rolled so badly that I'm going to
say she just, like, grabs a small bag. I rolled,
like, a 91. So she grabs a backpack, and she's
all like, she goes, okay. Yeah, send the inappropriate
ones first. Always. And then she hangs up. And
you know that she'll be at least on the road
before the announcement goes off so that she'll
get out of town quicker. I contact my husband
and, you know, I say, honey, I don't have long
to talk. I go, you know, I've been working on
this weird thing. You're going to see something
to evacuate the city pretty soon. It does have
something to do with what we uncovered, and you
need to get out now. Well, he was there with
you when you went to the bar and saw Graves End,
and so he knows that there's something weird
going on. And so he goes, all right, honey, I'll
get out of here now. Yeah, just go visit your
parents in Florida and, you know. No, but I will
be, you know, but I love you and I will see you
as soon as I can. All right. I love you, too.
I'll talk to you soon. OK. All right. Is there
anybody else that wants to contact anybody? I
don't think anyone else has anybody in the city.
Nope. So. All right. So now that we've gone through
the important NPCs, let's see. What's the plan?
You all should talk with each other, make a plan
of what you want to do next and then let Russ
know. And, you know, it's up to you how you want
to. If you're like, hey, fuck it, let's just
get out and see what happens after this explosion
or let's hit the tire factory now. It's up to
you. I mean, I feel like we should hit the tire
factory tonight. Going now during the day seems
foolish. Broad daylight and all. All right. I
agree that we should hit the, and it gives them
time to, like, figure out, possibly they'll evacuate
some of the people in the factory. Maybe there'll
be fewer people there. But also, let's be honest,
I trust Russ as far as I could, you know, throw
this cube. Exactly. I still say, I mean, I obviously
don't have the power to call it, but an airstrike
on this cube while we are all somewhere else
seems... like the best possible solution i mean
there's a human cost all of this and we cannot
forget that yeah totally there totally is and
i'm not forgetting that i'm just saying this
is some evil shit extracting it from the ground
is going to cost us more yeah i think I think,
you know, maybe not a nuclear airstrike, but
fighter jets or something, you know. They got
bunker bombs that can level. Yeah. Yeah. No,
seriously. But first, let's see if there's there's
a way to neutralize it. If the factor is connected,
if they have information on this, is there a
way to neutralize it that doesn't necessarily
destroy this entire city? Because even if the
loss of life isn't as high, we're ruining all
of these people's lives. I totally get it. And
let's go look. But we also don't have access
to any bombs. So this is kind of a point. Yeah.
So we have the surgical approach. I say, let's
do it. What's Desiree's opinion? That's a really
good question. I think she's like really half
listening to anything right now. And she's kind
of just feeling like I'm a fucking cat burglar
in the middle of all of this. What the hell do
I know? Except that I don't like it. So did you
make your signet roll, Norman? Yes. What'd you
get again? I got 42 over 40. 42. Okay, cool.
So I'm going to roll to see how many people actually
evacuate. And I'm not going to tell you what
that number is. All right. Okay, so 20 minutes
goes by and people start streaming out. Roos
has a couple of helicopters comes in and says,
all right, I want you all to go back to the hotel
or wherever you want to reconvene. If you're
going to wait till tonight, that's fine. I will
be talking to them about possibly doing an airstrike.
That's the very last thing I want to have to
do. So if you can find a way to avoid that, great.
But if you become compromised, I'm going to be
dropping something big on this cube. And I'm
just letting you know, I hope we can get everybody
out, but I can't let it spread beyond here. Clock
is ticking. I'm going to say it's early in the
morning, so it's probably about 10 o 'clock.
I'll give you until midnight, and then we'll
have to make a decision. Okay? Got it. Okay.
He jumps on the helicopter and flies his team
out of there. And the five of you are on your
own. He's given us till midnight, which is not
a lot of time if we wait till nighttime. What
season is it? Is it going to get dark early or
late? It's going to get dark around like 630.
I mean, we can try to figure out a way in now
during the day. If we're cutting off their power
anyway. I don't see why we have to wait until
nighttime. Cover of darkness is nice for some
things, but I think we're going to have very
little element of surprise no matter what we
do here. All right. I will say that he gives
you all the options of getting both a sidearm
and some sort of rifle, you know, for those of
you who want to use it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I definitely
want to be loaded for bear. Okay. I mean, I'll
take a sidearm. I'm not... terribly proficient
at it but apparently i have a rifle that i was
given at some point that i will be happy to throw
at someone who actually has skill in that area
okay desiree do you take a sidearm or you already
have one yeah yeah and uh norman yeah i'll take
one i don't have i'm i don't have great skill
but yeah i'll take one OK, now, do you want to
go back to the Motel 6 or do you want to go to
the bar? Do you want to go outside? Where do
you want to go? I told them about what's going
on. The hotel room is compromised, but it's compromised,
but kind of like in a silly way. Like, I think
they're actually quite far behind what we're
actually doing. So if you want to sleep there
or whatever, that's still. We got the hotel,
what, through the... I just figured you were
paid for it daily. Day by day. Okay, yeah. So,
yeah, we've got it at least through tonight,
if people want to sleep. But, yeah, let me let
you know. You shouldn't be talking about anything
of great substance there. Yeah. But here, also,
I mean, there's an option. If the NSA is listening
to everything we say in the room, that allows
us a little bit of backup. They... aren't the
most military of branches. But I've been thinking
about this because I was considering whether
to troll them by putting on an audio recording
of Twilight next or if I should feed them something.
That's possible, especially if we feel like we're
undermanned here. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm just,
you know, I'm just worried. But yeah, let's...
Yeah, I'll take my bug cell phone. Why not? Yeah,
let's take the bug cell phone and let's get in
place. What do you need to hack these turrets?
I already got my laptop with me. Points to backpack.
So why don't you give us a roll to turn off all
that stuff and get yourself going. Got it, got
it, got it. Yes. I got 52 under my 61. Cool.
So yeah, you can cut the power anytime that you
want. It's just a matter of how you want to coordinate
everything. Now, Mars, you realize once they
cut the power, those steel doors might be really
hard to open if it's a password situation. Got
it. But we do have the password. Right. So you'd
have to enter the password before cutting the
power, basically. Which gives the turrets just
a moment to make a decision. At the loading dock,
was there a door with a keypad as well? Yes.
Excellent. Our mysterious gentleman, our bandaged
gentleman, he's got a weird physique, right?
Yeah. Is he like super tall or is he just weird?
He's not super tall, but the way that he moves
is weird. He kind of sloshes back and forth as
he walks. Yeah. Totally not like a monster in
a human suit. I'm just wondering if it's worth
the ruse of... buying us some time if they think
this guy is coming up on the cameras there, that
it might give us an extra second to put in the
code before we cut the power. Do you think you
could fake it? I mean, that's kind of how I've
lived my entire life. I mean, the biggest thing
there would be getting a car, right? We would
need to match his car. Yeah, that's right. We
would need some sort of junker car, at least.
That wouldn't be too hard to grab, especially
with people getting out of town so quickly. They're
not going to take their junker car to get out
of town unless they absolutely have to. We have
a PT Cruiser, which is 22 years old. And, you
know, like we only use it if we're driving like
five to ten minutes. Right. Maybe we can find
a possible junker. And I'm just trying to buy
us time. So, Desiree, why don't you give me a
luck roll? It's a 50 -50 roll to see if you can
find a car that's suitable. Oh, God. I got a
41. Awesome. So, yeah, you can find an old, you
know, 70s car, junker car that you can use. Okay.
Your luck gets you to the point where the keys
are in the visor, so. And how tall did we say
the guy is? About, like, 6 '1", 6 '2". I mean,
I guess I could fake it. Okay. I could see Desiree
giving some lessons, a la, like, Shaun of the
Dead. How to blend in. I mean, I've got disguise.
Why don't we do a disguise roll? So you get an
extra 10 % and just make it. So my disguise is
now up to 40. Ooh, and I beat it with a 36. Nice.
So you look like a tall guy with a hat and bandages
and the whole nine yards. You're ready to go.
Awesome. So I'm going to go on the front. Okay.
And then you have the code, so I guess the rest
of the team can go in the back, and I'll just
distract them from the front. And then you'll
cut the power as soon as the doors open. Yeah,
once the doors open, cut the power. Okay. Yeah,
if you put in the code, and we are standing by
outside of range of the cameras, then as soon
as you put in the code and the doors are open,
cut the power so they can't close the doors back
up. Right. Okay. I think we might want another
person going in the front for sure, too. I don't
want you stranded. But I mean, did the guy, I'm
trying to remember if the guy had anyone with
him. Make it look weird. If you want to send
somebody up there, but I'm going to tell you
off the bat that that'll put you at a disadvantage
because it will look bizarre. Yeah. I wasn't
implying that we send somebody up directly in
tandem. I was thinking somebody on standby because
they're already used to. Me hobo -joeing in front
of the building. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah. Just being like close by. So as soon as
that goes, I can just dash in. Sounds good. Sounds
good. Okay. All right. That's the plan. Sounds
good. I'll be on standby. So you walk up, you
put in the code, the doors open, and I'm not
going to make you roll, Norman. You flick the
switch and the power goes off. You can literally
hear the power go off throughout the building.
Cool. Norman, a few feet away from you are two
people. They're dressed in guard outfits, but
they don't fit really well. And they start coming
towards you and you notice that they don't seem
to be moving normally. Their bodies seem to be
wavy. And one of them raises up a gun to take
a shot at you. So you can actually react before
they get to you. They don't look very dexterous.
Excellent. I would like to react before they
get to me. And I've got the old unarmed combat.
And I'd like to, you know, do a fight about it.
And try to take them down quickly and quietly.
And that is not going to work out very well because
that's a 97 on the dice, even though I have a
50. Ouch. Yikes. So you run over and you try
to swing at one of this and you actually hit
right by its jaw and it shakes, like I said,
like a waterbed back and you just slide right
by it. It like moves its hand up and you see
that its hand is all swollen and it pulls back
on this trigger to try to shoot you. Can I dodge?
Yeah, give me a dodge roll. You can try to move
out of the way because they are not very dexterous.
Damn it, dice. I did not move out of the way.
It was a 77 and I have a 50 on dodge. All right,
so the gun goes off. You take six points of damage.
So it's close range and you feel it hit you.
You all hear this. Desiree, you're close to the
front. The door opens, you hear a pop of a gun
going off. So let's go into melee real quick.
Mars, you're at a 60 for your dex. Desiree, what's
yours? My dex is an 85. Nice. Norman, I know
you're not in combat range right now, but what's
yours? 70. Wow, you guys are fast. Robin? 70.
Jesus. It's like your competence or something.
At least in this. Perla. 55. All right, our slow
poke. All right, so all of these things that
you are engaging with are not great with dexterity,
so you all get to go first. Mars, you were closest,
so that's why you got to react. So the next person
will be Desiree. Okay. Huh. I'm just thinking,
like, I could shoot at them, but I don't think
I'm very good at shooting. I mean, I've got a
60. That's pretty good. That's better than average.
Yeah, it's better than average. I guess I'll
take a shot at one of these guys. Okay, do you
want to shoot the one that is closest to him
or the one that's coming up around the side?
I will say... You have a chance of hitting Mars
if you go for the first guy. I'm just letting
you know. Well, I was also thinking about the
guy coming around the side specifically so Mars
doesn't get flanked. Right, exactly. Because
then if he makes a five -foot step over that,
it's an attack. Wait, wrong game. Okay, so give
me a roll. Let's see what happens. I got a 52
under my 16. Yeah, you hit this thing, and Marge,
you feel this spray of liquid hit you in the
side as it explodes, and you're covered in water.
Gross. Make a resolve check for me, both of you.
Sure. Oops. Also, 55 under my 50. Oh, no. Hold
on. Were we supposed to roll high or low? Low.
Oh, well, then in that case, no. You're okay.
I did it bad. No. You did it, but what'd you
roll? 83. Oh, yeah. Yow. Yikes. But I hit that
guy. You did. Yes. You did. Yes. I just feel
like we're all on the same page, and it is the
correct page to be on with explodey people. Yeah.
I mean, he went up like a Capri Sun. Desiree,
you take three points, so you're shaken but not
stirred. Mars, you only take one point, you lucky
devil. He's already been shot. Yeah, he's been
shot. That's the most focus. That focus you,
death focuses you real quick. Does that mean
you've got esplody bits in your wound? It's the
other side. i don't ever think it so desiree
has gone next is uh between norman and robin
which one wants to act first which one wants
to do what do you want to do anything at all
and wait or what what do you want to do i'm gonna
just send a text to like it's i'm just gonna
i'm using my bugged phone and just Cause now
there's gunfire. So I'm just going to say something
like emergency to one of the people who's here,
but since they're tracing the phone, they're
going to be like, what's happening here. So,
yeah. So I know that like, okay, people will
be here at some point. I'm going to do that real
quick. Yeah. That's what you do. Okay, cool.
Robin, what do you want to do? I'm going to try
to sneak in while they have the guards occupied.
Let's just do a straight up Dex roll then for
that. I got a 19. Awesome. So you, yeah, you
can, you run across the street, you make your
way in, you're in. Perla, what do you want to
do? I think I'm going to follow Robin and try
and sneak in. Okay. So give me just a dex check.
We'll do the same thing. Ooh, I got an 11. Yeah,
no problem. So both of you are now inside the
main room. Mars is dealing with the other. whatever
the hell these things are. All the trauma made
us very sneaky. Yeah. I'm not going to poke one
of those things. Don't poke the inflated bear.
So we go back up and it's Desiree's turn again
with the lightning fast 85. Desiree, what do
you want to do? I guess I'm going to try and
take out the other guy. Has he moved at all?
Well, he's like, because everything is seconds,
he's still in melee with Mars. So you want to
take a shot, you can. Just don't critically fail.
Are we like inside of a room? Like what's the...
Well, I figured you're probably on the porch,
like just a few feet away and you shot. And they're
in what looks to be a work area, like a lobby
almost, with these big elevators on the side.
It's not a tire factory anymore at all. It's
all been built out as some kind of lab. And there's
a console with a bunch of computers and stuff,
almost like a lobby. I'm torn because I really
don't want to hit Mars. But I'm looking for something
else that might be throwable or fun. It sounds
like I'm too far to, like, get in melee range
with this guy. No, you're, like, if you're on
the porch and he's right in the entrance, you
can move and hit. Okay. Yeah, like, I kind of
want to, like, move in and, like, I imagine they
had chairs they were sitting on and, like, trying
to bang him in the face with a chair. All right,
so give me a, just, let's see, is that, I guess,
brawl or, let's see, is there fighting hand -to
-hand? Melee. Melee weapon. What's your melee
weapon? 70. Awesome. Nice. So you have a higher...
You're our ninja. I got a three. So, Mars, let
me tell you what happens to you. There's a shot.
You feel it. You suddenly get sprayed. Then over
your shoulder comes a chair. like leg it stabs
this guy in the head and his skin splits all
the way down the center and it just looks like
this wave from one of those white water rapid
things and it just slimes you you're just ripping
in blood and this icky water and stuff make a
con check for me please okay con check see how
sick you get all right thankfully i'm fairly
conny that's great that's a 39 under my 70s excellent
you're able to get your composure you are completely
covered much like i think of like early 80s nickelodeon
yeah gross yeah so gross yeah so to give you
know reference to being slimed The room is completely
dark because the power's been cut. No secondary
generator has come on. You're in this room. You
notice that a few cars have shown up on the perimeter.
They're not coming any closer, so you're guessing
that's the NSA scoping things out. What do you
all want to do? There are two elevators, and
there's also a fire staircase as well. Well,
one, I want to message Roos, say we're in. He
texts you right back. Great. Do you see any power
source or... Not yet. Okay, keep me informed.
Like I said, there's no power, but you could
take the stairs down if you wanted. So how would
you all like to proceed? Would some of you like
to stay up here? Would you all like to stick
together? Did I see the cars? Like, how far away
are these cars? Yeah, I'm going to say that all
of you know that the cars are there because they
kind of came up quick. They're being obvious,
so. I was just wondering if they were close enough
if I were to yell that they would hear. Yeah.
I'm just not knowing if it's going to actually
do anything. I'm going to turn towards the cars
and just go like, a little help, fuckers. So
suddenly they're going to say three sets of agents
come out, NSA agents. Like Norman said, they
are not fighty, but they do run up and start
looking around because they've been invited through
the front door much like a vampire. So I'm going
to say you have six agents there. They're all
named Tom and Sarah. you guys can cut, you all
can kind of let me know how you want to proceed
with them. You know, unless you're doing something
really outlandish there, they're going to kind
of follow your lead. I'm just kind of picturing
everybody at the NSA working in their cubicle
and it's all dark in there and they're all, I
mean, not unlike how many. Computer science people
operate in general. It's like, didn't Snowden
confirm that? I've known many web designers who
that's their, that's how they live. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm going to go to, do I recognize any of them
or they're all just like, they're all generic.
Okay. Yeah. I'll go, I'll go to whoever looks
the most competent and I'm just gonna be like,
yeah. So I know what's been going on with you
guys. Let me tell you what I've been doing. You're
here to help me. This is a paranormal thing,
a cult. Don't do the whole thing. We all know
that this stuff has been happening. You've seen
pictures, I think. So we're going to try to figure
out how to blow up or stop that cube thing. We
might need you for backup. We might not. Just
don't get in my way. They all nod normally. Then
suddenly you all get a text and it says from
Roos. The cube has started to put out an enormous
amount of energy. It's sending out arcs of power
throughout a large part of the city. So you need
to act fast. You've got 20 minutes before the
bunker bomb gets here. And that's where we're
going to stop this episode. So thank you all
so much. We'll see how this one ends, whether
or not we'll all have new characters next time.
