<@Brett> [Date: Monday, July 1st.  Time: 9:15 p.m.  Location: The farm of 
Evzen's rebel sect.]
<@Brett> [Having put an end to Dr. Faust (And hopefully, Branco Maric), 
you return to the farm.  Hopefully the rebels keep good on their word to 
help you find Nene.  So much work for one little fairy. Sheesh.]
<@Brett> [Start!]
<Sonia> (so, uh, how are my limbs doing?)
<Sonia> (and who is around?)
 01<Montana> (Did we get stuff from the lab place?)
<@Brett> [Sonia's limbs are functional, only requiring minor repairs with 
supplies that can undoubtedly be found around the base.  However, 
obtaining new artifical skin is something that'll take longer.  
Especially since you probably don't want to go to a German clinic.]
<@Brett> [Outside the barn is the Spikey-haired guy, talking with the 
ghost girl from before.  Oh, and Dieter is there too. Yaaaay.....]
<@Brett> ( Man, I forgot about that stuff )
<@Brett> ( Although....... )
<Gordo> (Isn't that why we went?)
<@Brett> ( Sec, can't pull my rules book :< )
<@Brett> ( Stupid updates )
<Sonia> (it seems like it would be good, when taking over an enemy base, 
to steal things)
<@Brett> [Stuff you find from the lab: 2 green potions, a red potion, a 
purple potion, some kinda hand-sized pyramid that glows at the tip 
occasionally, a box of experimental cybernetic parts, a zombie's head 
(not still moving, thankfully), a tinfoil hat with various circutry 
inside, and a very odd looking gun-shaped device that seems like a 
grapnel of some sort.  Along with several cases of spare ammo 
<@Brett> for it.]
<Shiho> (ahhh I wanna touch all of it)
<Shiho> (Next character's gonna be a person who touches stuff)
<@Brett> [Also a copy of Christopher Marlowe's play "The Tragical History 
of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus"]
<Sonia> (and you even have the hands for it)
<@Brett> [The ending has been changed to be a happier one though.
 01<Montana> (Snerk.)
 01<Montana> (So The Comical History...?)
<@Brett> [No, it's been crossed out, and the new ending written into the 
margins.]
<Gordo> (Keiko is going to murder that hat as soon as she sees it.)
 01<Montana> (Right, that's what makes it a comedy!)
<Sonia> (fucking hats)
 06* Sonia 's armor is half-exposed, then, giving her a mottled grey look 
to go with her otherwise normally dark skin. The pyramid has her 
attention now, mostly because she's trying to figure out if it's 
broadcasting.
 06* Shiho is examining the grapnel idly.
 03* Dicesuke (~PircBotX@rt84-10-564-018.om.om.cox.net) has joined #mc5
<Dicesuke> I'm in active development. What the hell am I doing in your 
channel?
 06* Montana tips his hat to the gentlemen there. "Evenin'."
<Sonia> 2d6+6
 06* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 5 for a result of 
11.
 06* Sonia sighs and says, "All'a this junk is ridiculous."
<Sonia> I'm pretty sure this ain't even a total machine.
<Gordo> Everything's worth something ta somebody.
 06* Sonia waves a segmented grey hand idly at the pyramid.
 06* Montana looks over. "Don't do nothin'?"
 06* Sonia idly puts her hand in her pocket and looks to Montana. "It 
glows, but I don't detect anything."
<@Brett> [The "grapnel" for lack of a better word, doesn't seem exactly 
like a grapnel.  It's a gun-shape, size somewhere between a small rifle 
and large pistol, with several buttons on the side. And looking closely 
at the barrel, Shiho can see that the claw portion isn't even within the 
gun; it's kind of hovering just outside the barrel.  It's also split into 
two parts, each of which has a cord that goes 
<@Brett> into the barrel.  Soooo... what, it fires two grapnels at once? 
Maybe....]
<Sonia> So where's their leader? We've got somewhere to be.
<@Brett> [Dieter looks your way. "Oh, you're back.  I presume you carried 
out your task successfully? I'd calculated your probability of success at 
72%.  And your survival rate at 48%. Guess you got lucky. Grats."]
<@Brett> [As Sonia waves her hand towards the pyramid, the lights blink a 
bit faster.]
 06* Shiho tests the balance of the gun she may be appropriating.
 06* Sonia flatly replies to Dieter with, "Explosives are great."
<@Brett> [It's fairly light, but still probably would require two hands 
to wield properly.]
<Gordo> Isat speeding  up?
<@Brett> ["Well, the important thing is you didn't mess up. 
Congratulations."]
<@Brett> [Spikey-hair makes his way over as the ghost girl runs off. 
"Evzen ain't here yet."]
<@Brett> [The grapnel Shiho's hoisting also has a variety of buttons 
alongside the barrel.  Wonder what those do? on is lit: A light Green 
one.]
<@Brett> ( One is )
<Sonia> Great.
<@Brett> [There's four additional buttons, none of which are lit at the 
moment.]
<Gordo> Have an ETA for 'im?
<@Brett> ["Probably not long.  They were covering for your escape. Should 
be right behind you."]
 06* Shiho turns to Montana. "When we're done here, want to go outside 
and figure out what this does with me?"
 06* Sonia sighs and idly scratches a piece of her metallic armor with 
her still-skinned hand, and looks off into the middle distance.
<@Brett> [Sonia sees three jeeps heading towards the farm. How 'bout 
that?]
 06* Montana nods to Shiho. "Sure, sounds fun."
<@Brett> [The jeeps arrive shortly, and various rebels get out! Evzen 
included. She's covered in blood, but it looks like it's someone else's. 
"Well?"]
 06* Montana tips his hat to Evzen. "Mission accomplished, ma'am."
<Sonia> His server room was in pieces.
<@Brett> [Evzen grins. "Finally. That man has been in a thorn in our side 
for years."  She glances at the loot pile, frowning. "I don't see my 
gauntlet."]
 01<Montana> (Oh, is that the thing we were grabbing? I asked if there 
was something we were supposed to get last time and everyone said no!)
<@Brett> ( :D )
<Sonia> (i bet he ate it)
 01<Montana> (INCLUDING YOU, GM)
 01<Montana> (YOU CAN'T GIVE ME THAT FACE IF YOU LIED TO ME D:<)
 06* Gordo shakes his head. "Not a sign a it."
<@Brett> ( Yes I can. See? :D )
 01<Montana> (I'm just really annoyed now.)
<@Brett> ( ._. )
 06* Sonia shrugs, ignoring Evzen a moment as she taps the top of the 
pyramid with her metal hand, frowning at it.
<@Brett> [Evzen curses under her breath. "That means we're too late.  
We'd intercepted a message saying they were selling the Thanatos gauntlet 
to someone in Russia. They must have gone through with the sale 
already."]
<@Brett> ( Hallo? )
<Sonia> (I mean, we heard you, but there's not much we can say? Sorry 
'bout your gauntlet?)
<Gordo> (Not sure what to say to that. "Darn." comes to mind.)
<@Brett> [The pyramid blinks faster as Sonia taps it.]
 06* Montana shrugs. "That's rough," he says, approximating some level of 
sympathy.
 01<Montana> (There, I said a thing.)
 06* Sonia frowns at it, then says, "Anyone have any idea what this is, 
before I make it explode? I don't think it's broadcasting, but it's 
reactin' to me."
 06* Gordo looks at it again. "Way outta m'pay grade."
 06* Shiho taps the pyramid too.
<@Brett> ["Hmm, well." Evzen holds out a folded piece of paper. "You 
wanted to know where Nene is.  Here you go."]
<@Brett> [When Shiho taps the pyramid, it blinks faster. And does nothing 
else.]
 06* Shiho shrugs at Sonia.
<Sonia> (Someone take the paper: it contains Nene)
 06* Gordo takes it as he isn't doing anything else with his hands and 
unfolds it.
<@Brett> ( Am waiting on Gordo )
 06* Gordo also looks to see if anything was written on it?
<@Brett> ( There sure is! If he ever gets around to making that mind 
roll, he might find out what it is! )
<Gordo> (Sorry, I don't see anything before that asking me to make a mind 
roll. ._.)
<@Brett> ( In msg :| )
<Gordo> (Oh, sorry, newish IRC program. it opened up where I couldn't 
see)
<Gordo> 2d6+5
 06* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 7 for a result of 
12.
<Gordo> (Add 2 to that)
<@Brett> [Inside is Nene!  Nooooo. Inside is a longitude and a latitude.  
One which Gordo recognizes: It's the city of Inverness in Scotland.]
 06* Gordo scratches his head. "Huh, that's a few kilometers south a the 
Inverness airport."
<@Brett> [Evzen says, "That's all I have to go on.  She's there. 
Somewhere."]
<Gordo> Well, we've a place ta start. (And maybe Nigel will know more 
when we get his head out of that bucket.)
 06* Sonia groans a little and says, "Better than nothing."
<@Brett> ( I hopoe so, you guys kinda need him for the next bit :P )
 01<Montana> (We are also going to need to find out what all of the 
things we got do.)
<@Brett> ["Well, I have things to take care of.  You're welcome to spend 
the night, if you like."]
 01<Montana> Yeah- hey. What's she look like? Any distinguishin' 
features?
<@Brett> [Evzen starts heading towards the barn, spikey-hair and Dieter 
following. She glances over her shoulder and says, "Yeah. She's a 
fairy."]
<@Brett> ( And so they go to Scotland and find the wrong fairy. )
 06* Montana blinks. "The hell." And then he wonders why he's even 
surprised.
 06* Sonia snorts and rubs her face. "Damn." She looks around. "So we 
stayin' here before we arrange a way out of this country?"
<Gordo> S'bit late ta be filing flight papers. C'n probably ring somebody 
awake fer enough money. Not sure it's worth it.
 01<Montana> Probably best ta take a little time and sort out some of the 
shit we got, too.
<@Brett> [That is a lot of swag, yo.]
 06* Sonia frowns a touch. "That's what I've been tryin' to do."
 06* Montana drags out the pile of cybernetic parts. "Any idea about this 
stuff?"
<Gordo> I wouldna even know where ta start with any tha.
 06* Sonia sighs and grabs the box from Montana, looking for a place to 
spread it out and start tinkering. "Didn't want to make a mess if we'd be 
leaving," she says, tiredly.
<@Brett> ( Gimme a mechanics roll, Sonia )
<Sonia> 2d6+7
 06* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Sonia and gets a natural 6 for a result of 
13.
 01<Montana> (Gotta go.)
 01<Montana> (Dre wants to go to the hospital.)
 01<Montana> (Bye.)
<Gordo> (BYE! Drive safe!)
<Sonia> (:/)
<@Brett> ( ._. )
<@Brett> ( Yikes )
<@Brett> ( Should we call it? )
<@Brett> ( What with 2 people down )
<Sonia> (prly :(
<Gordo> (I think so. Maybe work out what the non-magic stuff does and 
call it a night.)
<@Brett> [End]
