MilesMk1 (7:35:49 PM): (Work, family, guests, etc., etc.)
Umbrafer (7:36:13 PM): Ah, Life™
Dragcrell (7:37:06 PM): (lol)
Thematrian1 (7:37:35 PM): ok then. Last session, Accident took Blake up on a high pinnacle and offered him the kingdoms of the earth, but Blake opted out in favor of leaving with his contacts. SC explored, Alex tutored, Todd prowled. And you have
Thematrian1 (7:37:40 PM): access to a helicopter. Go team!
circlmastr (7:37:59 PM): "Go Team Venture!"
MilesMk1 (7:38:37 PM): I was actually planning on taking the PCs along, too. ;)
Thematrian1 (7:39:19 PM): ah, yes, and the PCs
MilesMk1 (7:40:13 PM): Ok, so I suppose - failing any other developments - I'm heading for the helicopter.
Thematrian1 (7:40:44 PM): Accident lingers behind, by the empty hanger. He's still wearing his mask, so it's hard to say what he might be thinking/
circlmastr (7:41:22 PM): Unless Todd finds something really nice, he hangs around the heli as well.
Thematrian1 (7:41:59 PM): Mostly, you found comm equipment. Towers and generators, all quite electrified.
circlmastr (7:42:50 PM): Okay. So, to the coptor!
Thematrian1 (7:43:16 PM): Yep. The copter is as you left it: small, sleek, deadly. Perfect for making a getaway though hostile territory.
MilesMk1 (7:43:43 PM): *examines the copter for signs of security*
Thematrian1 (7:44:09 PM): Electronics!
MilesMk1 (7:44:15 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 1 5
MilesMk1 (7:44:46 PM): karma
MilesMk1 (7:45:28 PM): (I'd rather have saved it for getting through security, but there's little point in getting killed by the security system with karma left over)
Thematrian1 (7:45:39 PM): check
Thematrian1 (7:45:41 PM): reroll 6
Thematrian1 (7:45:43 PM): err
Thematrian1 (7:45:43 PM): 5
Thematrian1 (7:45:45 PM): all of them

MilesMk1 (7:46:10 PM): ...
Thematrian1 (7:46:51 PM): other than the door locks, you'd say things are hunky dory
MilesMk1 (7:47:54 PM): #I don't see any signs of security on this thing.#
circlmastr (7:48:10 PM): #Probably just means the security is really good.#
MilesMk1 (7:48:20 PM): #Which could, I suppose, be possible, if it's being kept in a high-security hangar...#
MilesMk1 (7:48:30 PM): #Or that.#
MilesMk1 (7:48:35 PM): I'll try to open it.
Thematrian1 (7:49:27 PM): nothing fries you. The doors are locked, though
Thematrian1 (7:49:34 PM): or, via B/R?
MilesMk1 (7:49:40 PM): Whatever it takes.
Thematrian1 (7:49:49 PM): It takes B/R, or I guess Strength
MilesMk1 (7:49:54 PM): B/R, then.
MilesMk1 (7:49:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 5 2 3 2
Thematrian1 (7:50:21 PM): blake ( |_| Has, |_| Does Not Have) Microscopic Vision?
MilesMk1 (7:50:28 PM): (Has)
Thematrian1 (7:50:49 PM): (Aw, you didn't put the little check mark?)
Thematrian1 (7:50:58 PM): Blake settles in to work.
Umbrafer (7:51:01 PM): (|√| Has)
MilesMk1 (7:51:03 PM): (|\/|Has)
Thematrian1 (7:51:13 PM): (Thanks guys!)
Thematrian1 (7:51:17 PM): What's everyone else doing?
circlmastr (7:51:38 PM): Todd hangs out with Blake.
Dragcrell (7:52:00 PM): if nothing comes up the door I wander around the roof sniffing around but alert
Dragcrell (7:52:42 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 3 1 6 2 2
Dragcrell (7:52:46 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Dragcrell (7:52:50 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (7:53:18 PM): Alex searches the logs to find out exactly where she is, though I believe the answer is "just outside the garage".
MilesMk1 (7:53:37 PM): (She might want to figure out what she wants to do with the various drones.)
Thematrian1 (7:54:56 PM): just outside and cruising for the Tower
Thematrian1 (7:59:32 PM): Around ten minutes in, Accident shows up. Blake, you're making progress but the helicopter's system is quite good; you're nowhere near finished
Umbrafer (8:00:00 PM): *Cruise cruise cruise* I'm staying a decent distance away from the tower, staying out of LOS of the area where Accident's van is or outside of 1/3 of the way to the tower. I'm also going to try to locate any of the team on the roof.
Umbrafer (8:00:51 PM): Just via active sensors right now, since I don't have LOS unless I send a blimp away from the shadow of the building.
Umbrafer (8:00:53 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 4 3 2 5 4
Umbrafer (8:01:01 PM): Hmurgle.
Thematrian1 (8:01:27 PM): team? What team? Big metal structures blasting the EM, you can find. No team, thuogh.
circlmastr (8:02:28 PM): (Public Service Announcement: Mythbusters is on, showing ninja myths. That is all.)
Thematrian1 (8:02:39 PM): (Also, Order of the Stick updated at around 7)
Umbrafer (8:02:58 PM): (Ooh)
Dragcrell (8:03:02 PM): (ah blast it all and I have no way to watch it and play at the same time ; ;)
Thematrian1 (8:03:12 PM): (It'll be on Youtube)
circlmastr (8:03:46 PM): (I can't help but wonder what movie it is they got all their stock footage from)
Dragcrell (8:03:51 PM): (ment Mythbusters )
MilesMk1 (8:05:07 PM): (I have it DVRed from last week)
MilesMk1 (8:06:04 PM): (I only started to watch it, and there seemed to be a definite deficiency of things blowing up)
Dragcrell (8:06:17 PM): (dont have that opption -_- even if I did its not likely I would be able to see it anyway I have verly little controle over the tv saidly
circlmastr (8:06:22 PM): (Yeah. Sadly, ninjas never used stealth grenades)
MilesMk1 (8:07:52 PM): (I wonder if anyone will bring up the "Ninjas. Ninjas are mammals. Ninjas also flip out and kill people." definition.)
MilesMk1 (8:07:56 PM): (On the show, I mean.)
circlmastr (8:08:02 PM): (Sadly, no.)
Umbrafer (8:10:11 PM): #How's it going up there?#
MilesMk1 (8:10:39 PM): #Making progress.#
Thematrian1 (8:11:28 PM): Work work work. Accident watches a while, then nods to Arty. They head back down stairs. The howling bug menace is not in evidence.
Dragcrell (8:11:55 PM): #what would make something smell like a gun firrred with gasoline rrratherrr then Gunpowderrr?#
Umbrafer (8:14:26 PM): #Gangers use these shotgun shells. Blow up like a little fireball, but fuck with the barrel something fierce.#
Dragcrell (8:15:31 PM): #Then why would it be up herrre?#
circlmastr (8:16:33 PM): circlmastr rolled 11 6-sided dice: 6 3 5 3 2 6 6 1 2 6 5

Umbrafer (8:16:40 PM): #I think Ares makes them. Maybe they were making a better version? Maybe someone broke in and used some?#
Dragcrell (8:17:24 PM): #mmmm#
Umbrafer (8:23:26 PM): I check in on the Big Guy. Any change in status?
Thematrian1 (8:23:53 PM): whirr. whirr. Beep beep. No change.
Umbrafer (8:24:26 PM): #Too quiet…#
Thematrian1 (8:25:05 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 3 5 3 6 5 3 6 1 3 5 3 4 3 4
Thematrian1 (8:25:12 PM): Blake: you finish! The doors pop open
Thematrian1 (8:25:24 PM): the locks will probably never work again, but they're open
MilesMk1 (8:25:34 PM): Ok.
Dragcrell (8:25:37 PM): (lol)
MilesMk1 (8:25:43 PM): 1. How many seats are there?
MilesMk1 (8:25:55 PM): 2. What happenes when I get in and try to get into the pilot's seat?
MilesMk1 (8:25:59 PM): happens
Umbrafer (8:27:04 PM): Locks can be replaced.
Thematrian1 (8:27:29 PM): There are four seats, closely packed, plus some cargo space in the back that could accomodate another two people, maybe three if they were slighly built and very comfortable with one another.
MilesMk1 (8:28:43 PM): Well, we can worry about that later.
MilesMk1 (8:36:31 PM): ...and when I try to get in the pilot's seat? (sorry if you're dealing with something off-screen)
Thematrian1 (8:37:41 PM): (Am. You know, you'd think a team of four could only split into four groups...)
Thematrian1 (8:37:45 PM): (Still...
Thematrian1 (8:37:50 PM): You sit in the pilot's seat
Thematrian1 (8:38:26 PM): The space really is constrained; your feat actually reach the pedal controls, albeit barely.
Thematrian1 (8:38:39 PM): You can
Thematrian1 (8:38:56 PM): 't simultaneously work them and see over the instrument panel, though.
Dragcrell (8:39:01 PM): (lol not when one is a Rigger ;3 then that idea goes out the window)
Thematrian1 (8:39:13 PM): (True; there's also a jack interface)
MilesMk1 (8:40:10 PM): (Hey, Blake is almost 5')
Thematrian1 (8:40:28 PM): (This seat was custom built for a particular guy)
MilesMk1 (8:40:29 PM): #Ok, I'm in. Any ideas on what to do next?#
Thematrian1 (8:40:42 PM): (You can tell that anyway; the butt padding is all weird)
Umbrafer (8:40:49 PM): #Ever flown a helo?#
MilesMk1 (8:40:58 PM): (Someone with legs almost as short as mine, but much longer torso?)
MilesMk1 (8:41:06 PM): #Nope.#
Thematrian1 (8:42:09 PM): (If you had to guess, you'd say his legs are pretty bent while he flies it. Someone consciously chose to trade comfort for passenger capacity)
Umbrafer (8:42:24 PM): #Then now isn't the time to start. See if you can get the electrical system turned on, but don't fire up the engine or rotors yet.#
MilesMk1 (8:43:43 PM): #I was thinking along the lines of getting your rigger control, or activating the autopilot.#
MilesMk1 (8:43:57 PM): *tries to turn on the electrical sustems*
MilesMk1 (8:44:04 PM): systems
Umbrafer (8:44:17 PM): #That's the theory.#
Thematrian1 (8:44:38 PM): You find the ignition quickly enough. It's a DNA scanner, and quite a nice one.
Dragcrell (8:44:51 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 4 3 3
MilesMk1 (8:45:10 PM): #And, it's DNA locked.#
Thematrian1 (8:45:33 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 4 6 4

MilesMk1 (8:46:48 PM): #Hmm. Why not.#
MilesMk1 (8:46:52 PM): *tries the head*
Thematrian1 (8:47:32 PM): The...head?
Thematrian1 (8:47:35 PM): oh, the head
Thematrian1 (8:47:46 PM): bzzt
MilesMk1 (8:49:08 PM): *tries bypassing*
Thematrian1 (8:49:24 PM): B/R to get the case off, then Electronics proper to bypass
Dragcrell (8:49:39 PM): Dragcrell rolled 12 6-sided dice: 2 1 4 1 4 4 5 6 6 4 6 1
Dragcrell (8:49:49 PM): Dragcrell rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 3 5

MilesMk1 (8:50:32 PM): Well... I have one karma left.
MilesMk1 (8:50:41 PM): And I think I'll be using it on the second roll...
MilesMk1 (8:50:47 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 3 5 6 4
MilesMk1 (8:50:50 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (8:50:52 PM): The bypass is successful, though it'll take a while.
MilesMk1 (8:50:58 PM): Oh.
MilesMk1 (8:51:02 PM): Mever mind, then. :)
Thematrian1 (8:51:03 PM): err
Thematrian1 (8:51:06 PM): no, you had it right
Thematrian1 (8:51:09 PM): I had it backwards
Thematrian1 (8:51:24 PM): You crack, then you bypass hitting the TN of 10 exactly.
Thematrian1 (8:51:39 PM): or whatever
Thematrian1 (8:52:48 PM): That'll take 40 minutes, though...
Thematrian1 (8:52:59 PM): Alex, what are you doign?
Umbrafer (8:53:41 PM): Hanging out, patrolling just out of LOS of Accident's van, and surveilling the building and surrounding area.
Umbrafer (8:53:43 PM): Hm.
Umbrafer (8:54:06 PM): I'll also send the LDSD up to the AT roof. First up, then across.
Thematrian1 (8:55:42 PM): up, across, and it's done. Oh, and Todd and Blake should roll hearing
MilesMk1 (8:56:09 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 6 4 2 5 6

MilesMk1 (8:56:30 PM): 10,8,5,4 rather
Thematrian1 (8:56:39 PM): (If you know his Reaction and Quickness, you can deduce it)
circlmastr (8:56:53 PM): circlmastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 2 1
circlmastr (8:56:56 PM): (Whee, 5)
Thematrian1 (8:56:58 PM): Blake: you just heard a gunshot. Loud, but muffled; probably somewhere on the roof.
Thematrian1 (8:57:09 PM): the roaring quality suggests a shotgun
MilesMk1 (8:58:40 PM): #Someone's firing a shotgun on the roof. Where's SC?#
Umbrafer (8:59:01 PM): #No clue.# Any sign from the LDSD?
MilesMk1 (8:59:15 PM): #SC, come in. I need more time, here...#
Dragcrell (9:00:07 PM): #I'm herrre found a orrrk#
MilesMk1 (9:01:41 PM): #...and is he shooting at you?#
Dragcrell (9:02:22 PM): #just once thout I was a bug I think and his gun made the sent I found#

MilesMk1 (9:07:46 PM): #I suppose just getting shot at once is a big improvement from getting shot three times... Pretty soon, people will talk to you without any shooting at all.#
MilesMk1 (9:08:43 PM): #Let us know if he has anything interesting to say.#
Dragcrell (9:09:55 PM): #I well#
Umbrafer (9:16:03 PM): #A blimp I'm flying is coming into a hangar. If you're in it, make sure no one shoots it.#
Thematrian1 (9:16:53 PM): Accident chooses this moment to reappear
Thematrian1 (9:17:23 PM): "Arty's wards held; he's below reinforcing them. Once they wear themselves out, we'll be able to climb down, if we wish."
MilesMk1 (9:20:06 PM): "Thinking of staying?"
Thematrian1 (9:21:13 PM): "It's a powerful vantage point." A blimp flies in.
Thematrian1 (9:21:17 PM): "And a powerful symbol."
MilesMk1 (9:22:16 PM): "And a really big target... You think you'll be able to actually secure a place this size?"
Thematrian1 (9:23:15 PM): (one sec, guys)
Thematrian1 (9:26:11 PM): "One floor at a time, Blake."
Thematrian1 (9:26:39 PM): a blimp flies in
MilesMk1 (9:26:56 PM): ...is that two blimps, now?
MilesMk1 (9:27:29 PM): (Aw, crap... I think I need to go. Minor household emergency.)
Thematrian1 (9:27:49 PM): (Ah. Well, best of luck; Blake actually isn' ton the critical path, for once)
MilesMk1 (9:27:59 PM): (I'll try to get back on, but carry on without me.)
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (9:28:39 PM): So is there a second blimp?
Thematrian1 (9:29:10 PM): No, just the one; I couldn't (and still can't) see where I announced the first one
Umbrafer (9:29:36 PM): It came in on the same line as Accident calling the building a powerful vantage point.
Thematrian1 (9:29:45 PM): Ah, good. Thank you.
Thematrian1 (9:29:48 PM): Only one blimp.
Umbrafer (9:30:07 PM): LDSD: *is secure in its individuality*
Umbrafer (9:30:57 PM): I'll take a good look at the helo. Anything I've seen before?
Umbrafer (9:31:24 PM): (I've got Vehicle R&D, Rotorcraft Background, or other skills as desired)
Thematrian1 (9:31:45 PM): Hm. Roll either of those, and take the other as complementary
Vernjonal has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:31:58 PM): or, leave
Thematrian1 (9:32:00 PM): that's good too, I guess
Dragcrell (9:33:09 PM): (no its not....)

Umbrafer (9:40:46 PM): #How's that Ork coming along?#
Dragcrell (9:41:31 PM): #talking and I think he's lost trrrack of time some how#
Umbrafer (9:45:41 PM): Is Accident still in the area?
Thematrian1 (9:46:27 PM): Yes.
Umbrafer (9:46:47 PM): He doing anything interesting, as far as I can tell?
Thematrian1 (9:47:02 PM): He's watching your blimp. He's still wearing his mask.
Umbrafer (9:48:55 PM): I yaw the blimp slightly from side to side in greeting.
Thematrian1 (9:49:44 PM): He makes a vague, salutelike gesture in return, then walks toward you (r blimp)
Dragcrell (9:50:28 PM): #talking about some baby......I think he's not rrright in the head now#
Umbrafer (9:51:16 PM): #No bald kids?#

Umbrafer (9:56:54 PM): #They used to put dog and dolphin brains in drones to try to make them smarter back before robot systems really picked up, maybe someone's trying it with a human brain and CCSS.#
Umbrafer (9:57:10 PM): (Scrap that "and CCSS", no reason to limit it)
Dragcrell (9:57:40 PM): #huh?#
Umbrafer (9:58:44 PM): #Maybe they have a brain in a vat being trained to run a drone and he talked to it.#
Umbrafer (9:58:50 PM): #Never heard of a successful experiment, but it could happen.#
Dragcrell (9:59:38 PM): #oh....#
Umbrafer (10:01:26 PM): #The dolphin brains were pretty good wingmates, actually, but now and then they'd get into a funk and just start breaking things until they died.#
Umbrafer (10:01:42 PM): #Accuracy sucked, though.#
Umbrafer (10:02:12 PM): #Anyway.# Did Accident do anything after walking towards the blimp?
Thematrian1 (10:03:27 PM): He spoke, gently: "Let's stroll, Alex."
Umbrafer (10:07:19 PM): *Pitch-unpitch* *Follow*
Thematrian1 (10:37:28 PM): SC shows back up in the hangar.
Dragcrell (10:38:14 PM): (was getting worryed there for a bit with no action going on :3 )
Dragcrell (10:39:01 PM): *looks around the hangar to see what's all up and changed*
circlmastr (10:58:29 PM): (I think everyone fell asleep)
Thematrian1 (10:59:40 PM): Nothing has changed. Blake's still working away.
Dragcrell (11:00:12 PM): (no I'm here just waiting is all :3 )
Dragcrell (11:00:29 PM): ok I just stay near him and wait
