Scene 4 - Graveyard of the Methhead

Mar 14, 2019 12:47 am
Ruk, you can't believe that you're in Ruk. What a craphole. And that weasley methhead Culkin... sure, he got you here the first time, but then he stayed behind while you went and did all the hard work.

You made your way out of the translation spot, an abandoned bodega-analog named "Exotic Fine Meats" that has been taken over by Fischer Astrotech. The building's windows are papered over, purportedly 'under renovation' and you spy a set of keys for the door. But Dr. Culkin is not here.

You have the device, although here it has transformed back into its original form. You and your gear have also transformed to their Rukish styles.

Where do you go from here? Why is the path unclear?

Seth grabs the keys and looks to the others. "Well...lacking other options, it would seem we should head inside the 'bodega', or whatever it is called here in Ruk. What do we all think?"

OOC:
My understanding is that we translated inside the bodega...
Micah looks around and then looks down at himself and chuckles wryly. "At least I've got more clothes on, here. Though, that outfit from Arden was pretty... free."

Looking down with a smile. "Ah. This much better. The strength here is nice." Realizing the awkwardness of her actions she quickly collects herself. "Yes, finding a trail to start is first job." She starts to turn the place over looking for a clue.

Right you are, I must have been more tired last night than I thought.
"Hold on, let me get into the right headspace for this." Seth says, concentrating and closing his eyes.

Duke looks around and pulls a subroutine he couldn't before to initiate tracking a living person.

Micah watches the rest of his team, ready to follow their lead.

L0nstar's strange abilities give him conflicting information, like a flickering of the trail. Something doesn't add up.

Seth, looking inwards, sees an underground city, Rukish tech around, and cracks and rubble from some collapse, and a sees a flash, a flickering energy rolling across an onyx doorway. He knows intuitively that it is an inapposite gate, and Culkin went through it. Unwillingly.

Katyushka is able to piece together that the door to the street is unlocked, and Dr. Culkin's personal effects are hear, like his credit chip and comm unit. If he left, he did not mean to, or maybe expected to be back in a few moments.

You've all recovered from the Translation. What's your next move?

"He was here. He left not his own will." She points out the spot Culkin's stuff is in. "We need hurry if we want to catch up." She stands and draws her blade. "Anyone can see what direction he went?"

Micah shakes his head and sighs in exasperation. "Well, this is just great. You'd think he'd be better at taking care of himself."
Mar 18, 2019 12:10 pm
"I got something but I can't tell what's off bout it yet..."
Mar 18, 2019 3:03 pm
"That boob. He did leave unwillingly, through an inapposite gate...I saw an underground city full of Rukish Tech and rubble and cracks from some sort of collapse. I suppose we are going to get to meet the Machine God sooner rather than later." Seth says, shaking his head to remove the flickering residual images that seem to want to hang on behind his eyelids.

How are you going to find this underground city?
Mar 20, 2019 7:52 am
"Well it appear as if he left with intention to return. Let us check the street for trail." She walks to the unlocked door and opens it. "Be in lookout. If he was taken, what taken him may still be here."
Mar 20, 2019 2:49 pm
"Lead on, Ms. Sokolov. Duke, perhaps you can try to get a better read on where he is as we attempt to follow his physical trail." Seth heads for the door, before turning to Micah, "Mr. Mullron, could you perhaps utilize your natural charms to see if we can ask any passersby if they either saw anything or know about any underground ruins as we walk?"
Mar 21, 2019 2:51 am
"I can certainly give it a try," he says with a sober nod.

Walking outside, Micah scans the street, trying to think about the best way to approach this investigation. Coming to a decision, he smiles and jumps in front of a passerby, his arms spread wide.

"Hey, what's up, how you doin'? Hey, my name's Mike and I'm looking for a site for my next recorded stunt, looking for some kick ass undergeound ruins to explore and jump off of. Got any suggestions? Know where I can find some? But they gotta be epic, right? The most, cant be the best with a second rate site, ya'know?"

Ooo, a free GM intrusion? Challenge accepted.
Micah catches the eye of a man in a trenchcoat. He stands to listen to Micah's rant, and after a moment scratches the back of his head in confusion. Another person comes up from behind and Micah feels a prick in the back of his neck. A cargo vehicle suddenly scoots from a parked position higher up, careens down toward the area.

Might Defense from Micah, and Perception and Initiative checks from everyone.
