Who you asking? The labites or Grimmie?

GRIMMIE! HES ASKING GRIMMIE!

It could well be that this is something to do with the deception, so we probably dont want to be blabbing about it till we have a closer look.

I'm not sure labites is a word, I think you should follow on from flora and fauna

OK, doesn't look too important then.

I guess we can move on.

[22:27] <DogPants> The crate has a hatch in the side. It's not large, about half a meter cubed
[22:28] <deject> let's open it up
[22:28] <Roman> Can I do a Detection?
[22:28] <DogPants> It contains three objects; an audio chip, a DarkNight ration pack, and an electronic keycard.
[22:29] <DogPants> AND A BOMB! Not really.
[22:29] <DogPants> You can detect if you like
[22:29] <Baliame> "Hmmm... supplies for us to return with?"
[22:29] <deject> I'll plug in the audio chip and try to list*ASPLODE*
[22:29] <DogPants> Someone set us down the bomb
[22:29] <DogPants> The chip, when played, contains a message in a synthesized female voice: "Squad. You have obtained evidence to be returned to the lab facility upon completion of your patrol. Hand it to the facility staff for testing. This message chip must be replaced in the storage canister and the balloon activated where it will return to origin. You will tell the facility
[22:30] <Baliame> *dramatic pause*
[22:30] <DogPants> staff that a ten man DarkNight patrol was encountered and defeated, and that these items were recovered from the bodies as objects of potential interest. The coordinates of the battle has been marked for recovery by orbital staff. No evidence of the location of enemy facilities was found."
[22:30] <Roman> Who wants to shoot some guns for added authenticity?
[22:31] <deject> As long as we don't damage any plants that should be fine
[22:31] <Baliame> Let's all shoot deej.
[22:31] <Roman> Well volunteered deej
[22:31] <Roman> I shall bring to bear on Deej's knees
[22:32] <DogPants> The flowers look on...
[22:32] <deject> ok but who will navigate for you????
[22:32] <Baliame> In fact...
[22:32] <Baliame> Let's shoot TSD, cause he's not here.
[22:33] <Joose> i dont think i should get involved in shooting, what with the whole shaktar thing
[22:33] <Baliame> No need, I can burn your face off as well
[22:33] <deject> yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaah, I'm just not sure about that right now...
[22:33] <Joose> problem with that plan: he would be better again by the time we got back
[22:33] <deject> maybe get a small burn mark on the environment suit?
[22:34] <Roman> good idea
[22:34] <Baliame> Actually, that's not a problem Joose
[22:34] <Roman> but less fun
[22:34] <Baliame> I'm pretty sure the bullet holes on the armor speak for themselves
[22:34] <Joose> true, i guess
[22:35] <Baliame> Although, I'm not sure putting a hole through the envirosuit is a good idea
[22:35] <Joose> also true
[22:35] <deject> yeah that's why I'm thinking just a bit of superficial scarring
[22:35] <Joose> could you conjure some mild flames?
[22:35] <Roman> how far away fromthe facility are we?
[22:35] <deject> besides, some of us are awesome and usually avoid getting shot
[22:35] <Baliame> And we beat a 10-man DN patrol without getting hit?
[22:36] <Baliame> By a bullet I mean
[22:36] <DogPants> A good few hours walk, about 12 miles
[22:36] <deject> yeah we did
[22:36] <deject> darknight are bitches
[22:36] <Baliame> I don't think I can make flames
[22:36] <Joose> and we are awesome!
[22:36] <Baliame> I could blast though
[22:36] <Roman> one of us could stay outside under the pretence they died
[22:36] <Baliame> But the elevator is inside
[22:37] <Baliame> We couldn't be extracted
[22:37] <Roman> I was wondering if Ebb bomb blasts could be heard all the way out here
[22:38] <Joose> depends how big i guess
[22:38] <DogPants> They're not going to hear anything in the lab, if that's what you were thinking
[22:38] <DogPants> Bah, stupid GM. You don't know that
[22:38] <Joose> we do now!
[22:38] <Baliame> "I guess they wouldn't hear an ebb bomb over there..."
[22:39] <Baliame> There, now we know it.
[22:39] <DogPants> Pffft
[22:39] <Joose> i vote we just claim we are awesome, caught them unawares, and slaughtered the fucks
[22:39] <Baliame> Well, I'm sure the best course would be putting a bullet through TSD
[22:40] <Roman> how about we claim we ambushed half of them, leg it back to the facility and sy we urgently need Grimmie's firepower?
[22:40] <Baliame> We had the time to loot while being chased by half of them?
[22:40] <deject> we are pretty awesome. I mean, we did take out like 20 or so without losing anyone
[22:40] <Baliame> We were riddled with bullet holes by 6 of them though last BPN...
[22:40] <Roman> squad was slpit in two - second half turned up and we headed back
[22:41] <Joose> ok...but why?
[22:41] <deject> yeah but those were true DN ops, these could just be conscripts
[22:41] <Baliame> By the way, goal is to get them out without a suit, they're definitely not coming out if we say we didn't kill all DN
[22:41] <Joose> thats what im thinking.
[22:42] <Roman> ah yes but then we head back out again. Just for realism
[22:42] <Baliame> You're taking the fun out of friendly fire :<
[22:42] <Joose> think it might be overkill
[22:43] <Baliame> I'm a waster, nothing's overkill.
[22:43] <DogPants> Hahaha
[22:43] <deject> lol
[22:44] <Joose> I know that well
[22:44] <deject> >:(
[22:44] <deject> what
[22:44] <Joose> hehehe
[22:44] <deject> *angry face*
[22:45] <Roman> *oh face*
[22:46] <Joose> How about this: we ambushed them, killed the fuck out of them, but need grim to help us round up the stragglers when they legged it away from our awesomeness?
[22:47] <deject> works for me
[22:47] <Baliame> softies.
[22:47] <Baliame> let's do it.
[22:48] <Joose> lets
[22:48] <Roman> CONCUR!
[22:48] <DogPants> You heading straight back or following the patrol route? What about the balloon?
[22:49] <Joose> follow the instructions on the audio file, then I guess carry on with the patrol route
[22:49] <deject> yeah that
[22:50] <Baliame> ^.
[22:50] <deject> I could arrive after everyone, with the explanation that I was chasing down the stragglers as I'm the fastest
[22:50] <DogPants> Okies. Takes you quite a while to get back, but no plants eat you or anything. When you do get back Shelton and Cross are waiting at the decon chamber
[22:51] <DogPants> You doing that or not Deej?
[22:51] <deject> yeah why not
[22:51] <Joose> "WE RETURN VICTORIOUS, PUNY SCIENTISTS!"
[22:51] <Baliame> "Manners."
[22:52] <DogPants> Okies. Shelton - "Did you find anything? Why are you a man down?"
[22:52] <Joose> Kt'rr looks confused
[22:52] <Baliame> "Deject went after a few survivors, nothing major really"
[22:52] <Baliame> "He should be back briefly
[22:52] <deject> I will arrive in about 15 minutes
[22:53] <DogPants> Cross - "Survivors? What did you... Never mind, lets get you out of those suits and back inside."
[22:53] <Joose> "WE FOUND MANY THINGS, INCLUDING PLANTS!"
[22:53] <Baliame> "Get some medical staff, I think our shaktar went crazy."
[22:54] <Roman> "Despite the exuberance of my colleagues, I have grave concerns Mr. Shelton"
[22:54] <Baliame> And/or lack of knowledge.
[22:54] <DogPants> English was fine, I was insinuating that he was already crazy before the BPN
[22:55] <Baliame> "Correction. More crazy."
[22:55] <DogPants> Shelton - "Concerns? Oh my, what did you find? Are we in danger?"
[22:55] <Joose> "NO LONGER"
[22:55] <DogPants> Cross - "Ahmed, let them get out of quarantine before you start grilling them."
[22:55] <Baliame> "Well, we found some orbital lasers aimed straight at the la... I mean nothing."
[22:56] <Joose> "GRILL? THANK YOU, BUT I AM NOT HUNGRY"
[22:56] <Baliame> "I could do with some barbecue"
[22:56] <Joose> kt'rr will make his way in through the door
[22:56] <Baliame> Wait, they have a scientist called Ahmed?
[22:57] <Baliame> He's obviously the terrorist.
[22:57] <DogPants> Shelton's first name is Ahmed
[22:57] <Joose> Crazy Shelton
[22:57] <Baliame> If there's one thing I learned from 24 it's that anyone called Ahmed is a terrorist.
[22:57] <Joose> haha
[22:58] <Baliame> Brainrot moves in as well.
[22:58] <DogPants> There's a couple of techs on the other side of the steri chamber ready for you to hand stuff through.
[22:58] <Berk> ahmed shelton is both a terrorist, and the CEO of a large corporation, probably involved in weapon design.
[22:59] <Baliame> "Here's my pistol, my knife, a used condom, a magenta dildo, wait that's not mine, magazine, magazine, that's all."
[23:00] <DogPants> They take it, blast it with the steri, and put it in a plastic box in their room ready for you to retrieve
[23:00] <Joose> I'll do the same
[23:00] <Baliame> "Right, where do I go?"
[23:00] <Roman> "Do not lose that ration pack - we need to run tests on it"
[23:01] <DogPants> The steri chamber is like a dumb waiter type thing by the way
[23:01] <Roman> Que?
[23:01] <Roman> is it from Barcelona?
[23:02] <DogPants> It's a mini-airlock to get equipment between the airlock you're in and the room the techs are in
[23:02] <DogPants> Are you passing everything through?
[23:02] <Baliame> I am
[23:02] <Joose> yup
[23:02] <Baliame> Well I guess I'll move on in then.
[23:03] <Roman> "Do you require me to be naked whilst passing through the steri chamber?"
[23:04] <DogPants> Once you've passed all your weapons/kit/DN memerobilia through they open up the airlock and start unbolting the enviro suits. Grimmie is probably waiting on the other side
[23:04] <Baliame> Grimmie's in the mess hall
[23:04] <DogPants> You don't go through the chamber
[23:04] <DogPants> Fat cupcake
[23:04] <Baliame> Yes.
[23:05] <deject> lol
[23:06] <Baliame> I'll do something that advances the story.
[23:06] <DogPants> Shelton and Cross are also waiting for you. Shelton looks anxious and expectant, Cross looks stern and concerned
[23:06] <Baliame> "C'mon Dirk, these fine men are waiting for you."
[23:06] <DogPants> Cross - "Shall we move to Mr Shelton's office for a debrief?"
[23:07] <Baliame> "Certainly."
[23:07] <deject> I'll show up about now.
[23:08] <DogPants> You go through the same process, assuming you want to. Shelton is almost hopping from foot to foot at this point
[23:09] <deject> "What happens if I don't want to put my stuff in the sterilizer thing?"
[23:09] <DogPants> Tech - "Erm. I don't know..."
[23:10] <Joose> Kt'rr gives shelton a look, and says "YOU APPEAR UNCOMFORTABLE"
[23:10] <deject> "Really? No one ever tried it? How odd."
[23:10] <deject> I'll get my stuff sterilized anyways.
[23:10] <DogPants> Okay. This does leave you (or most of you) unarmed and unarmoured right now.
[23:10] <Baliame> Haha deej, you could singlehandedly kill the whole station, mission would be over.
[23:11] <DogPants> Shelton - "What did you find? Are we in danger?"
[23:11] <deject> Armor is for pussies.
[23:11] <deject> like me
[23:11] <Baliame> I'm going to wait for my mutilator, just in case.
[23:11] <Roman> "Shelton, a question if I may - how can none of your team not have spotted an entire squad of DN that close to the facility?"
[23:11] <DogPants> Cross - "Shelton! We should do this in private."
[23:12] <DogPants> Shelton - "I don't know! I don't leave the facility!"
[23:12] <Joose> i think we should keep doing this not in private.
[23:12] <Baliame> We need to create a circumstance where they have to leave the facility without enviro suits
[23:12] <Baliame> Sabotage?
[23:13] <deject> "It's a good thing we were sent out there. We caught them with their pants down."
[23:13] <DogPants> Cross turns on his heel and heads off towards Shelton's office. Shelton scampers after him
[23:13] <Roman> "I don't care where we do it, as long as we get answers. On this occasion we were fortunate enough to be in cover when we saw the patrol - as impressive as or combat skills, taking down a squad is no easy job"
[23:13] <Joose> I dunno, I think if we keep pushing like this they may end up heading out on thier own
[23:13] <Baliame> Fingers Crossed for that. Pun. It's bad.
[23:13] <Roman> follow them!
[23:13] <Roman> slam the door shut when we're inside
[23:14] <Baliame> I'll grab my sterilized mutilator, pocket it, and follow.
[23:14] <deject> deej follows
[23:14] <DogPants> Assuming you're having this conversation in the office. Shelton - "You took out a whole squad? Are there more of them?" Cross stays quiet, looking on expectantly.
[23:14] <Joose> I'll also follow
[23:14] <Roman> "Time to start talking Shelton - if you have any suspicions about DN infiltrators in the lab it's best we find out now. Here, look at what we picked up..."
[23:15] <Baliame> Best course of action imho... state that we're certain there's none left outside.
[23:15] <Roman> we've still got to get to the abandoned facility haven't we?
[23:15] <Joose> to deej; "HOW MANY DID YOU CHASE DOWN?"
[23:15] <Baliame> Oh?
[23:16] <Baliame> Nevermind then.
[23:16] <deject> "Two, they died rather dishonorably my shaktar friend."
[23:16] <Joose> We were told to tell them 10, I think we need to stick to the story
[23:16] <Joose> "A SHAME. THAT MAKES TEN TOTAL, DOES IT NOT?"
[23:16] <Baliame> "We killed eight, left two for deej to handle, if I'm counting it right."
[23:17] <deject> "Yes, I believe so. I looked for more in the area, but I didn't see any."
[23:17] <Baliame> "Pffft, dishonourable deaths. They're trespassing on SLA property. That's dishonourable."
[23:17] <deject> If I could use my armor it would aid me considerably though."
[23:18] <Baliame> .
[23:19] <DogPants> Cross - "Ten DarkNight? Do you think there are more?"
[23:19] <Baliame> "In the facility, possibly."
[23:19] <DogPants> Shelton looks concerned
[23:19] <Roman> remind me, did we have to get the to leave the lab and go to the facility, or was the facility a hoax too?
[23:19] <deject> "None in the immediate area, in any case. We are safe for the moment."
[23:20] <Baliame> There is an abandoned facility outside.
[23:20] <Baliame> Unless I remember wrong?
[23:20] <Roman> we've not been there yet though have we?
[23:20] <Joose> Do we know that, I thought it was just suspected or something
[23:23] <Joose> ah, the lab guys have been told there is a facility, but there isnt.
[23:23] <Joose> we should be trying to perrsuade them to rush for the facility, so im guessing we now need to pretend to clear it out or somethhing
[23:23] <Baliame> Exactly
[23:24] <Baliame> We go out again, sit in an out-of-sight spot for maybe an hour and return?
[23:24] <Joose> good plan. ooh, the keycard!
[23:24] <Baliame> Good point, what is that for?
[23:24] <Baliame> wait
[23:24] <Joose> we could claim the keycard is access to the facility, and then give them an opportunity to steal it from us
[23:24] <Baliame> It's a fake
[23:25] <Joose> ^
[23:25] <Baliame> I'm certain it's a fake, don't get it analyzed.
[23:25] <Joose> yep
[23:25] <Joose> I say we take a look at it ourselves, pretend we have determined it to be the key to the facility, then do as you suggested and go out and sit for a bit
[23:26] <Baliame> Agreed.
[23:26] <Joose> then come back and say "we win, killed them all" and loose the keycard.
[23:26] <deject> worth a try I guess
[23:26] <Roman> "as you can see from what we recovered from the bodies, they have ample rations and a secure facility out in the jungle. It is fortunate we were able to find this card as it is unlikely we would be able to enter the facility any other way
[23:27] <deject> or maybe get it analyzed on the down low, so that no one but us knows what it really is
[23:27] <DogPants> Shelton - "SO there's more? How many? How many do DarkNight usually send?"
[23:27] <Baliame> After we return, leave the keycard lying in an obvious spot while someone puts his armor back on.
[23:28] <Joose> Kt'rr will flex a bit, and say "THEY WOULD NOT SEND ENOUGH"
[23:28] <Baliame> "A few squads worth, probably. They're not trained ops, though, they're probably newcomers. Nothing we can't handle."
[23:28] <Joose> and grin a bit
[23:28] <DogPants> Shelton - "I'm glad you're here." Cross doesn't look as pleased.
[23:29] <deject> "Sometimes they send one, sometimes a few dozen. These were not true DN operatives, just poorly trained conscripts. I bet they were excited to be off-world"
[23:29] <Baliame> "What's the problem, Cross, I'm pretty sure you're not excited to be ripped up by gunfire."
[23:30] <DogPants> Cross - "I don't like the idea of DarkNight here at all. What is there to be excited about?"
[23:30] <Joose> "COMBAT!"
[23:30] <Baliame> "Call it a perversion, but it's fun to kill them."
[23:31] <DogPants> Cross - "We all have our areas of expertise. Mine don't involve being shot at. The sooner you deal with these insurgents the sooner we can continue with our work. Deadlines approach."
[23:32] <Baliame> Anything we want to do before we head out again?
[23:32] <Roman> "Either way, we need to head back out there with a full squad to ensure we can secure the facilty. Someone get Grimmie from the mess hall"
[23:32] <Roman> remind me again, the air outside isn't toxic to us is it?
[23:32] <Baliame> we don't know
[23:32] <Baliame> we may have been infected
[23:33] <deject> "Most people never get off Mort. Coming to a place like this would be rather interesting to say the least."
[23:33] <DogPants> Cross - "I've been to Mort. I'd be glad to leave too."
[23:34] <Baliame> "Well, anyone would be, except that guy." Brainrot points at Eraser.
[23:34] <DogPants> Shelton - "Please, Adolph. These people are here to help us." To you guys - "Do whatever you need to do, you have the full support of the facility."
[23:35] <Baliame> Adolph and Ahmed?
[23:35] <Baliame> You could sell a sitcom with that name.
[23:35] <Joose> hahaha
[23:35] <DogPants> Random name generator FTW
[23:35] <deject> haha
[23:36] <DogPants> Nope, he looks like this: http://www.byrnerobotics.com/forum/uplo ... lery_5.jpg
[23:36] <Baliame> Okay, someone collect grimmie.
[23:37] <Berk> I'll play grimmie!
[23:37] <Berk> *dons frock*
[23:37] <Berk> *bowie makeup*
[23:37] <Joose> shall we head back out through the airlock then?
[23:39] <Baliame> Let's assume Grimmie is following.
[23:39] <Baliame> Same way TSD has been following us for the last hour and a half.
[23:39] <DogPants> I can autopilot Grimmie
[23:40] <Baliame> Also viable meat shields in case we find a plant that spits unidentified sticky white goo.
[23:40] <DogPants> Pfft
[23:40] <Joose> 5punkplant
[23:40] <Baliame> 5plant?
[23:40] <DogPants> 5ap, please
[23:40] <deject> we could always say he was killed by the bees
[23:40] <Baliame> NO
[23:41] <DogPants> Oh god...
[23:41] <Joose> NOT THE BEEES!
[23:41] <deject> NOT THE BEES
[23:41] <Joose> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4MqTCIDKhU
[23:41] <Joose> had to be done
[23:43] <Joose> aaaanyway, moving out?
[23:43] <deject> haha
[23:43] <deject> yeah lets go
[23:45] <DogPants> Okay, back through the rigmarol of decontaminating, and off you go again.
[23:45] <Joose> with the keycard
[23:45] <DogPants> Okay. Did you pack a picnic?
[23:46] <Joose> I guess we just need to make sure we are out of range of them spotting us out the window, and sit around for a bit
[23:47] <DogPants> Okay, well an hour passes with no events. The plants are nice to look at for some of you.
[23:48] <DogPants> How long are you waiting?
[23:48] <Joose> Hour or so?
[23:49] <DogPants> Bearing in mind your patrol was about 8 hours
[23:49] <Joose> good point
[23:51] <Baliame> I'd say we should wait half a day then.
[23:53] <Joose> shall we say 10 hours then?
[23:53] <Baliame> twelve, to be on the safe side
[23:53] <DogPants> Okay. You're all dying for a piss by the end of it
[23:53] <Joose> fair enough.
[23:53] <Baliame> I stop next to a plant, and attempt to pull down the zipper on the enviro suit.
[23:53] <Joose> I'll piss in my suit. Shaktar dont worry about such things
[23:54] <deject> doubleberk
[23:54] <Joose> im fairly sure having a piss could be counted as contaminating the planet
[23:54] <Baliame> Yeah, but the suits are sealed
[23:54] <Baliame> I'm probably not going to be able to take a leak
[23:55] <Baliame> Right, I'm pretty sure we can ffwd to us arriving back at the labs?
[23:55] <Joose> ^
[23:55] <DogPants> The suits do have a facility for that actually. They're not really designed to be worn for 12 hours, but they can be at a push, and you're all a lot tougher than scientists
[00:01] <Baliame> What motive would the execs have to leave without the suits?
[00:01] <Baliame> I mean if they're going to go out searching for a facility, they'd still bolt themselves into a suit.
[00:01] <Joose> nah, they want to get in touch with the planet and hug alientrees
[00:02] <DogPants> The air inside your suits is no better than in the facilities. It's not particularly pleasant.
[00:02] <Baliame> They believe that the atmosphere outside is not toxic to them, right?
[00:02] <Joose> bet mines even nicer now
[00:03] <Joose> yup
[00:03] <Baliame> Then it sounds just too easy
[00:03] <Baliame> Get inside, then?
[00:04] <DogPants> Is that an offer?
[00:05] <Baliame> An attempt to advance more like.
[00:05] <Baliame> Errr...
[00:05] <Baliame> Yeah, I'm not getting out of this one, am I?
[00:06] <Roman> I shall sing to them - "open your eyes, walk into the open..."
[00:06] <DogPants> Okay, well back to the facility again, with much the same procedure
[00:06] <DogPants> Shelton and Cross are again waiting.
[00:07] <Baliame> Spokesdirk, go ahead.
[00:09] <Roman> "Great success! The DN presence on this planet has been routed! Damn good job we had the key card - we would never have go tin otherwise. The facility is pretty well equipped...
[00:09] <Roman> ...lots of rations and easily defendable"
[00:10] <DogPants> Shelton looks pleased. Cross gives you an intent stare.
[00:10] <Baliame> Oh hey guys it's like we want you to go out there... :/
[00:11] <Baliame> Notice the lack of quotes
[00:11] <DogPants> haha, yeah
[00:12] <DogPants> Shelton - "So are they dealt with? Are we safe? I can let you use the comms to tell orbit if you like."
[00:13] <Baliame> "Certainly, orbit will be pleased to hear."
[00:13] <Baliame> Now we need a clever product placement.
[00:14] <Baliame> Leave it laying around on Shelton's desk while we stubbornly all focus on the comms station?
[00:15] <Roman> we could celebrate with drink and "pass out" so they get chance to sneak off
[00:15] <DogPants> Shelton and Cross leave. Cross - "We'll leave you to your communication, gentlemen."
[00:15] <DogPants> Detect anyone?
[00:15] <Baliame> Exercise caution, they might be eavesdropping
[00:15] <Baliame> Hold on.
[00:16] <GameServ> Baliame rolled 2d10: 9 4 <Total> (DETECT)
[00:16] <Baliame> Am I DEEEEETECTING anything?
[00:17] <DogPants> Cross appeared to be subtlely, but very deliberately, herding Shelton out of the office.
[00:18] <GameServ> Roman rolled 2d10: 4 4 <Total> (DETECT)
[00:18] <DogPants> How very American :p
[00:18] <Baliame> I'm assuming they close the doors behind themselves, right?
[00:18] <DogPants> Yep
[00:19] <Baliame> Any chance I can hear them moving away or talking outside through the wall if I move close to it?
[00:19] <DogPants> They seem to move away quickly. You're pretty sure they're not han ging around outside
[00:20] <Baliame> Hmmm... Can I see any signs of the office being under surveillance?
[00:20] <DogPants> Not without an appropriate roll
[00:20] <Baliame> Or do I reroll for that?
[00:20] <Baliame> Right.
[00:20] <GameServ> Baliame rolled 2d10: 4 6 <Total> (DETECT)
[00:21] <Baliame> Meh.
[00:21] <DogPants> With just a detect, you can't see any evidence of bugs or peepholes, or pieces of string attached to tin cans.
[00:21] <Baliame> Well I don't have anything better than that, really.
[00:22] <Baliame> I could try martial arts, would surely eliminate the bug question. Along with the office.
[00:22] <DogPants> There might not be anything to find, but you can only go off what you can see with a detect roll
[00:22] <Baliame> Well obviously, but unless we know for sure, we might not want to talk about the real mission.
[00:23] <Joose> Aye, play it safe
[00:23] <GameServ> Roman rolled 2d10: 1 5 <Total> (DETECT)
[00:23] <DogPants> That's not really a hint by the way. I don't do hints. Just that there might be signal taps on wires or any manner of tech bugs you can't see,
[00:24] <Joose> lets com it up!
[00:24] <Baliame> Noted.
[00:24] <Baliame> Although I would have been pleased if I found a tin can bug.
[00:26] <DogPants> Well the comms aren't really a two way thing, just emails. There are probably better ways, but the guest accounts you have on the system are pretty locked down.
[00:26] <Baliame> Do we have a techyperson?
[00:26] <DogPants> Deject, sort of
[00:26] <Baliame> Would he be able to get us something higher than a guest account?
[00:28] <DogPants> Anyway...
[00:28] <Baliame>
[00:29] <DogPants> Sending a report to orbit?
[00:30] <Joose> yup
[00:30] <Baliame> I'd say send one that covers what we said we've done.
[00:30] <DogPants> All cover story, or with "The Truth"?
[00:30] <Joose> cover
[00:30] <Baliame> cover
[00:31] <DogPants> Okies. You send a message with basically what you've told Shelton and Cross.
[00:31] <Baliame> Should we follow Roman's plan now?
[00:32] <Baliame> "drink" and "pass out" and "lose keycard"?
[00:33] <Joose> We could just leave the card to one side whilst we prepare to leave
[00:33] <Joose> otherwise we have to find "drinks"
[00:34] <Baliame> Good idea indeed.
[00:34] <Roman> Did no one bring a portable whiskey still?
[00:36] <Baliame> Anyway, I have a bad, bad feeling about Cross.
[00:36] <Joose> ^

And that's where we called it. Logs look fine? If not, I'll edit them later next week.

Cool stuff guys, sorry I missed it. Was being fed for free for a site-launch well done. Alcohols nommed in your honour.

Seems to me that there's still no reason for them not to wear an envirosuit, and there's no motivation for our employer to kill us.
Perhaps Deject and I could go out for one last sweep and ditch the suits, just wear our armour and come back inside with helmets off, make them think that the atmosphere is perfectly safe after all?

Either that, or remove the suits or damage them in some fashion.
Otherwise they might suit up and piss off during your nap.

There's a virus inside the labs which makes the scientists have an allergic reaction to the atmosphere. We don't know if we've caught it.

So let's go to the comms station and ask if it's possible that we have, in a.. Clever way.
There's no reason that our employers should dead us. Dead ops can't do their jobs.

Baliame · Post by **Baliame** » March 13th, 2010, 13:33

Let's say we're going out on a final patrol, but it's a burden to bring the suits, and we need armor 'cause there might be better ops out there?

Post by **Joose** » March 15th, 2010, 10:30

Could someone remind me, as im a bit befuddled now, where have we got to? Have we "cleared out the DN facility" yet?

If we have, I vote we head back into the space lift pod thing, and make out like we are getting ready to leave. Job done, as far as the labbies are concerned.

We could then leave the keycard just outside the pod door, maybe with some other stuff. Just so it looks like we are piling things up ready to go, but far enough away that someone could sneak it from us without us knowing. Again, as far as they are concerned.

They grab key, go outside, choke to death on thier own vomit, we go "ho hum, told you it was toxic" to the survivours, go home, drink beer, get paid, celebrate. Sound good?

You were given orders at the lab to go out on patrol. When you went out you found a balloon probe with some DN equipment and more orders. I can repost the orders if you like.

Is that a subtle hint to go out and finish the patrol?

Guys, I have this funny feeling we might want to go out and finish the patrol.
