Mission Report


Tue, Jan 29, 2019 ((Jan 15, 2022))
Team: Delly (Cael), Fonn (Dragon), Ikhilzis (Schizo), Lae'eni (Aslene), Lottie (Basil), Smokes (Aunne), Ulthane (Sielic), Zenovi (Dae)

The team continues to investigate the Bunker, to understand what happened before they awakened. They discover that Nails' behavior caused Brother Iron to suspect he had been replaced by an imposter, likely during one of his trips outside the Bunker. Some medical evidence suggests that Nails' body was the same but his mind was different. Nails convinced Brother Iron that the team should start reincarnating Raptor Red in paramatter bodies, perhaps before everything was ready (including the renovation of the Bunker). During the long procedure, Nails left Medical and entered the chapel. He likely added the virus to the paramatter there, which reformed MForm skitters. The skitters attacked and assimilated the troopers as MForm tinmen. Brother Iron left Medical to aid the troopers, with RJ and Lisette trailing behind. A skitter infected RJ, so Iron ordered Lisette to put RJ in a stasis tube and lock down the Bunker. Fearing paramatter infection, Lisette triggered the lock down sequence and entered a tube, too. Iron confronted Nails, then tackled or embraced him, and then both disappeared. The Bunker went into lockdown, including a BECINN shield. This shield interrupted the Tutorial, leaving Raptor Blue imperfectly briefed on their history and purpose, and starting their wake sequence. The MForms won the battle and then went mostly dormant.

Details

  • Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: Smokes continues to mark things - drawing on walls. Floors. Tables, lockers - wherever it's necessary, mapping out the flaws in the weave. Oddly, she's absently eating a very battered, buttered scone as she moves. Leaving crumbs behind as she goes.
  • The Brigganocks of Clan Strusol are disassembling their barricades and traps.
  • Fonn Razorenth: Fonn, after seeing the marks, begins adding small bits of tape to note various places. She outlines corners, leaves some on vent covers, one even ends up hanging from the ceiling in a hallway. When asked, she says "Blindspots."
  • Lottie finds and analyzes the railroad spike knife from Nails' quarter
  • Lae'eni: Lae-eni helps Smokes for a while, finding the tracing of the lines to be like visual meditation, but eventually she drifts off to a table and begins making digital copies of all the personelle files she swiped. She doesn't pause to read anything, just moves with quick, practiced efficiency.
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood is having trouble focusing on anything mechanical or the computer screens. He starts working with the Brigganocks to dissassemble barricades and traps, if they need a big person to make their lives easier.
  • Iron was: excited about Raptor Red project, nervous about the Covenant of Chainbreakers as the "board of directors", and suspicious that Nails has been replaced by an imposter
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood will, if the Brigganocks are okay, start cooking with whatever might be remaining in the kitchen. Combat makes HIM hungry, at the very least.
  • Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: ".... you know, I never really paied attention to just how oily humans /are/. OH! Ikhilzis - make me something?"
  • Delly (Delsari Orist Nym Galadant): Delly kisses Snow on the nose and puts i around her neck. He prrr-chirps.
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood nods at Topi, and starts putting together breakfast burrito for the tiny Kobold.
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "Any other requests?"
  • Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: "Mmm. Whatever it is, it smells quite decent. Is cheese involved?"
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "Some, Keeping light. Hot sauce?"
  • Delly (Delsari Orist Nym Galadant): "I am a little hungry as well, if you want? But no pressure, Ikilthis. I am well enough, justa little Teapped/"
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "Not a problem."
  • Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw patpasts Ikhilzis as she passes - absently cleaning the blood off of him (Prestidigitation) as she gets back to work.
  • Fonn Razorenth: Fonn raises an eyebrow. "I'm not completely trustworthy that the materials haven't gone bad."
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "Doing smell test and checking dates. Not my best, but it will do."
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood finishes the quick breakfast burritos. (FOr Topi, it'd be a huge meal, before heading to the freight elevator.)
  • Nails' vitals started being falsified about 48 hours before Raptor Red was reincarnated
  • Smokes sees how to remove the original paranoia from the Bunker's weave
  • Nails entered the chapel 2 hours before skitters burst out
  • Lottie: ((This is really simple guys, we just have to get some horsehair interfacing and baste it around the weave and it'll be stable until we can darn the weave back together))
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "Makes sense."
  • Cameras in chapel weren't set up yet
  • Ulthane Stonebeard: Ulthane walked the long route back, while holding the Golden Compass at various angles and positions as he walked. He brought the DNA sample from Nails' room to Zenovi.
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: ((Reality: So, what do you want to be? Information, magic, blood? Paramatter: "YES."))
  • Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: Chain: "Intriguingly, we, as apparently paramatter beings, do not cause the strain that we see from the undead monstrosity."
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "Possibly because we're more stable?"
  • Fonn Razorenth: "How odd."
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "Is there something within that Tin Man that is causing this? Perhaps this was the first Tin Man?"
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "In this area"
  • Nails and Iron were coming and going to the Bunker


Memory bead: Duty to Raptor Blue

  • (Nails is talking with Brother Iron.)
  • Nails: It weighs on me. The responsibility. The duty. Raptor Blue did so much to set this up. We've got to make it work.


  • Lottie: "I do think we should get in one location first before we drop the field. If something is knocking, I'd rather 8 people meet them at the door."
  • Lottie: "Also, before we drop the shield I have a couple of questions."
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood twitches violently
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "There were rumors of my people using Paramatter, but it was all very.... top secret. Never worked with it myself."
  • Lottie: "Delly do you think that engineer that surrendered survived? Probably not."
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "Arrested?"
  • Ikhilzis Poisonblood: "Well."
