SEND IN THE CLONES

It's been another happy day in Alpha Complex. You've served your friend, The Computer loyally, and after a delicious dinner of toasted algae you've gathered with your fellow citizens around the communal vidscreen for the evening entertainment provided by THE COMPUTER.

It's a rerun of the popular situational comedy, One Clone's Family, followed by a documentary showing how Power Services has exceeded all quotas this biennium. A brief announcement informs you that programming tomorrow night will be cancelled due to power shortages. Then comes the treat everyone has been eagerly anticipating - This Week's installment of the ongoing stories of Teela O'Malley!

In this episode, Teela plays an unusual role, proving once again, her impressive dramatic range. She plays an ordinary citizen in an unspecified service group - a citizen much like any of you. She is heartlessly seduced into treason by the evil members of a secret society.

Four heroic, Troubleshooters, those courageous servants of The Computer - are sent to apprehend her.

Their devotion so inspires Teela, that she gives herself up, she renounces her traitorous course and turns in every member of the secret society. Then, as she stands, framed in the glow of an open reactor port, she gives the following speech:

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Teela is holding back tears as a melancholy violin begins to play

I regret that I have but six clones to lose for my friend, THE COMPUTER. I have strayed from the path of right! I am grateful The Computer has given me a chance to make amends, in some small way, for my traitorous, evil, commie-inspired acts.

But I've, I've failed. I am unworthy of THE COMPUTER's forgiveness.

I only hope my clones will learn from my shameful example, and will serve THE COMPUTER loyally - to the end of their lives.

And with these words, over the cries of the noble, deeply moved, Troubleshooters, she hurls herself into the reactor. There is a tremendous flash, the music swells and after a moment of darkness The vidscreen monitor is replaced with the image of FRIEND COMPUTER

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

It looks as if some of you are currently experiencing stress. Do not worry. Teela - O - MLY has not died. This has been a DRAMATIC/ACCURATE reenactment of a true incident. Names have been omitted or changed due to SECURITY CLEARANCE restrictions.

If you are still experiencing stress, you may wish to adjust your medication. You may wish to remember: Communists may appear anywhere. You may wish to expreeee..... ckkkkkk....... hisssssss......... kkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkk 000000 0000010 00101101 01010001 0101......

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

The monitors change to a screen of static snow and a hiss.

The hiss is suddenly cut and replaced with a strange song broadcasting over the entire public address system.

Isn't it great?
Isn't it keen?
Living in Complexes ruled by machine?
Where are the clones?
There ought to be clones.
Send in the clones.....

OOC:

At this point you may describe your actions. Your actions should be in plain view of the other players unless you're being sneaky. You may wish to include some sort of treasonous behavior in your action such as taking a meeting with your secret society. Hypothetically speaking, if you were going to engage in treasonous behaviour, you should provide that information to the GM via secret note.

You may also wish to send a secret note containing nothing more treasonous than a recipe for oatmeal cookies to somehow misdirect the other players, it is entirely up to you.

Of course, if you did want to meet with your secret society and receive an additional mission with possible special rewards... Now would be a pretty good time to do that. Hypothetically speaking of course.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

I adjust my medication having felt slightly moved by noble sacrifice of Teela-O-MLY and walk mindlessly around the communal vidscreen room singing the end credits song, happily mixing it with the strange new song and static sounds as if they were one and the same.

Will had not realized he stopped cleaning his nails during the climax of the scene.

Thanks to friend computer for such great vids.

He moves on back to his home and to his bed. He has been thinking about a crease he may have left in the sheets since he left for work.

I'm having issues sending a note and setting the post to be from my character. I tried to do the note and it did not add it like the others, it put it within the text. There is usually a drop down to select who is posting me/my character and that isn't present.

"Such a good vid, those tiles are unevenly numbered, do penguins have knees?, Pi is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066...... i liked that Video."

Dave looked up from his PDC with a tinge of confusion, studying the screen before nodding. "Interesting! I was not aware Friend Computer had authorized new loyalty programming! And what an excellent relief to know that Teela-O-MLY is not dead, I am certainly not experiencing stress thanks to this revelation."

Standing from his chair he looked around before wandering towards the bedrooms.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

The bizarre music continues each verse more treasonous than the last as you file out of the communal area...
just when I start opening doors,
Looking for mutants and traitors on ceilings and floors,
Shooting my laser again - the barrel gets hot,
High and low - enemy bot...

Just as you make it back to your beds all of your PDCs light up.

MISSION ALERT
MISSION ALERT
FRIEND COMPUTER requests your immediate assistance. Please report to elevator bay 13 in sector: XIX
Troubleshooter team assignment:
Will-O-WSP-1 Hygiene Officer
Wyatt-R-VSC-1 Equipment Guy
Will-R-WTN-1 Loyalty Officer
Dave-R-EGP-1 Team Leader
Brett-R-WYP-1 recording officer

A map is downloaded to your PDC directing you to an unfamiliar sector of Alpha Complex. You arrive at the bank of elevators where four guardbots and the rest of your Troubleshooter team appear. Of the five team members, one wears the yellow band of a registered mutant.

"Friend computer needs loyal help cleaning some troubleshooters! How delightful.". I'm take a quick shower, spray an unhealthy amount of perfume and take out all cleaning products at hand. "Five troubleshooters will be 20 credits of Sa-cure fragrance..." I'm thinking as I happily move to elevator bay 13 in sector: XIX singing 🎶 Shooting my laser again 🎶. Once there I say "Reporting for duty, Dave-R-EGP-1" possibly showing the cleaning equipment to the wrong person. Once I find out who Dave is "Request permission for immediate squad cleaning"

Dave snapped up to his feet the moment the message came through, grinning widely as he burst out of the barracks and started pounding on random doors. "Lets go team, Friend Computer has requested our assistance!" With a beaming smile on his face he rushed for the elevator banks, tapping his foot impatiently and in time with the new music until everyone else showed. After a quick check of his email he nodded at Will-O-WSP-1. "Permission granted, excellent suggetion!" Once the rest had gathered he frowned briefly at the registered mutant before looking at the Loyalty Officer, even if they happened to be the same person. "Will-R-WTN-1, please know you have my permission to use your tube...barrel..zappy thing on the mutant if he does anything...mutanty without permission! Brett-R-WYP-1, please begin your recording duties! Wyatt-R-VSC-1, what number am I thinking of?!"

With everything in order he turned to the guardbots, looking at them expectantly.

I reply to Loyalty Officer Will-R-WTN-1 "No equipment, no problem! As long as you're tidy, you're all righty! as I start handing out lube4tooth paste and inspecting everyone's jumpsuits. "Clean suits and fresh breath, that's how loyal thoughts are bred!". I stop in front of the registered mutant and look at his jumpsuit (and who would that be?). "Interesting suit model you have here. That must be what? 15 credits worth? Now, we wouldn't want it getting any dirty would we?" I give him a Blast It Off bottle "Remember: 🎶Just one spray makes dirt go away🎶". Turning to the Team Leader Dave-R-EGP-1 "So, what's the plan? Should we check out these, ooooo, expensive... guardbots and then go pick up some nutritious supplies?". I get closer to the bots "Who is responsible for these bots? Such pricey machinery and it's all dusty!" I grab my rainbow feather duster and start whistling the happy vidscreen cleaning song 🎶Rainbow dusters have all clean-a-rances 🎶 .

Brett came running after the team, lugging his newly assigned equipment with him. "Brett-R-WYD-1 reporting for duty, Sir! Was just testing out my equipment! It's fully functional and ready for use for The Computer's glory!" Brett says all this in a single breath.

"Yes sir!" Brett says following Dave's order as he quickly turns on the Com 2. "And we're live!"

"You are thinking of the number 17, but that is only a guess since i cant read minds Team Leader Dave-R-EGP-1." he looks at the rest of the group "Now everyone keep your equipment in good repair or else i'll.....

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

The lighting is dim, the team stands before an anonymous set of elevator doors. The song continues,
I'm getting mad! It makes me red!
This was my very first fight
Already I'm dead
Where is my clone?
I must have a clone
Send in my clone...

As Will-O-WSP-1 approaches the guardbot with the duster a very mechanical voice says stop it.

All four guardbots draw away from the group allowing a clear line of sight for the really large guardbot that approaches down the hall and pulls a bead on the entire group with a very large weapon.

And see what the error is with that guardbot, clearly any bot that would aim a weapon at Troubleshooters following Friend Computers orders is malfunctioning. Now if you'll excuse me," he said, taking several smart steps away from the group before snapping to attention and looking at the. warmest security camera. "Friend Computer, our Troubleshooting unit is reporting for briefing!"

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

As Brett-R-WYD examines his Com 2, it appears to be red and rectangular with rounded corners. It has a two-inch black antenna a rectangular button on the side and two dials on it's face. During the process of examining his Com 2 the high-pitched sound of feedback is emitted from his teammates' Com units. The smaller guardbots begin blinking red lights.

As Dave-R-EGP approaches the nearest camera mounted above the elevator doors, they slide apart with a retro-futuristic door sliding apart noise.

The four smaller guardbots create a perimeter around the Troubleshooter team and the largest guardbot advances towards the group.

With A VERY ROBOTIC voice* the guardbot says,

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

The elevator is rickety, badly lit, coffin like and cramped. Even more so when the guardbot trundles into the elevator behind you.

The doors slide closed and the floor sags. Metal around you squeals with stress. the elevator suddenly drops about 4 feet, jolts to a squealing halt, and then shudders before heading downward - slowly - squealing painfully as it moves. Over the PA system comes a new tune. It is an easy-listening/muzak song.

Optical Waaaaves,
We gotta hide what we are doing,
and what would they say,
When they hear our auto-tuning,

Cells are splitting just as fast they can,
A man, a man, a man, another man

Fried like scrambled eggs
into the night
and then you put a jumpsuit on me
and we plunge into the ground and then you say,

I think I'm a clone now,
there's always another me just a hangin around,
I think I'm a clone now,
and every chromosome is a hand me down...

The guardbot extrudes a fishing rod-like apparatus from its head. At the end of the rod is a blinding klieg light, which is suspended about three centimeters above Brett-R-WYD's head as he fumbles with the multicorder.

The light turns red

"Hello, Friend Computer! No, it's alright, I don't need that function yet. Thanks for giving me this job as Recording Officer! I won't let you down!"

Brett looks up surprised by the sudden questioning by the huge Guardbot.
"Oh! Me? My security clearance is Red. I don't believe I'm thinking of treason. Unless the treason is this song. It sounds nice and all, but the lyrics sounds uncomfortably to be made by commie traitors. But I could be wrong, and I have no taste in the great music that Friend Computer blessed us with! Hooray for Friend Computer! As for recent treasonous act... does screaming loudly when I stubbed my toe counts?"

I look at the fishing rod-like apparatus on top of Brett-R-WYD-1 can continue to sing 🎶When they hear our fish selling at 3 credits and traitor muties are splitting just as fast they can🎶. I look at the loyalty officer Will-R-WTN-1 and make a shooting movement 🎶zap, zap, zappy. clean bright clean🎶.

The jostle of the elevator nearly interrupted Dave from checking his email, the PDC rapidly tucked back into his pocket as he looked up confusedly at the music. "Surely Friend Computer would not permit unauthorized music to be played over the PA system, and yet the odd music does make one wonder if communists are being permitted to think they have infiltrated the audio systems."

With the blare of the red light he quickly turns to stare at Brett, frowning at his answers. [b]"Frankly Brett, I for one would love a definitive answer to the guardbot's question as to whether you are experiencing treasonous thoughts by clarifying what you think of the music! As I'm sure the guardbot would be quite prepared to do what is necessary should you provide an unsatisfactory answer!"

Welcome to the wonderful world of picture styles. With just a few easy settings adjustments you will be well on your way to the perfectly composed photosettings. First of all, let's adjust your ISO/Brightness/CPU/RAM/Memory/Future incrypto-settings. please choose an appropriate value between 1 and 653. Do not forget this value. It will be very important when you're ready to adjust the aspect/ratio/color balance. WARNING DO NOT EXCEDE THE OUTER LIGHTING PAREMETER SETTINGS

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Dave, Will and Will jump out of the elevator leaving Wyatt and the large guardbot behind. The doors slide closed followed by the muffled sound of an explosion and the visible bulging of the doors.

A second after that, the doors open a second time. The guardbot is now alone, blackened and his neck and limbs appear much looser.

He herds you into the room in front of you which contains a cross between a pneumatic tube and a spiral slide. a damp Brett-R-WYD-2 comes out of the slide, quickly followed by Wyatt-R-VSC-2 who crashes into him.

Surrounding you is a dozen trashcan sized guardbots.

They lead you into a featureless room with a desk, and a door at the far side. The guardbot's weapons are pointed ominously in your direction.

At the desk sits a very short, slightly pudgy fellow wearing a Blue jumpsuit. He's flanked by two tall, thin Yellow guards with lasers.

From the speaker on the wall emanates the melodious strains of a song that seems to be called, I'm just wild about Psion....

Oh, I'm just wild about Psion,
Psion's wild about me.
My 'registered' type means I'm just their type

Greetings Troubleshooters, I am Cleto-B-QRK. My companions are Dewey-Y-JLK and Sonny-Y_TLS

The Computer has rewarded your loyalty by choosing to accompany a carefully selected and coordinated strike force of 27 Troubleshooter teams who have been called into emergency action to fight the new communist threat - subversive propaganda being pumped out over The Computer's own public address system.

The Computer has narrowed the possible sources of interference to one subdivision of our beloved Alpha Complex, but treasonous tampering prevents it from pinpointing the traitors' exact location. You and the rest of the strike force will sweep through this area, searching for interference, identifying the responsible parties, and terminating them.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

After taking a few tumbles in the sludge and traveling about 100 ft downstream, Will-O-WSP is able to get back to his feet despite the strength of the current. There is no drain in site as the canal appears to continue for some distance.

You feel something large brush past your legs below the surface of the fluid.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Brett-R-WYD attempts to capture the hygiene officer's slip into a river of sludge. the camera is zoomed in enough to create a nicely composed medium shot. When Brett looks through the viewer however, he can't immediately find Will-O-WSP and with nothing to focus on, the multicordor continuously zooms in and out of focus. By the time Brett has a good sense of where his fellow troubleshooter is, Will is already too far into the darkness to capture.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Will-O-WSP fights against the current towards the light of the 2nd Gen Multicorder as Brett carefully inches along the walkway towards him. As Brett approaches he hears the sound like a rusty tire on a warehouse cartbot passing by his feet. In his peripheral vision he can see tiny shadows scattering away from him. Several more squeaks issue from the shadows.

Will does not detect any further evidence of the large thing that brushed past him only a moment ago.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

WILL - You hear the echo of treasonous music coming from further down the tunnel. Many of the tube lights along the corridor are broken, those that remain buzz and flicker. You are up to your thighs in sludge. The smell is repugnant.

Further downstream, away from your teammate you see a long dark shape protruding from the sludge. At first it looks like it is floating downstream.

Then, it changes direction and begins moving upstream. The large object seems to propel itself by twisting back and forth like a series of S's.

Again, I cannot stress this enough. The smell is TERRIBLE.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Brett is on the walkway above the river of sludge. He is about 30ft away from the group of Troubleshooters who are standing by the door that you came through. there is a walkway along both walls of the tubular tunnel.

approximately 70ft downstream from Brett in the middle of the sludge stream is Will-O-WSP. He is making his way against the current towards Brett. The large thing in the sludge is moving much faster against the stream towards him and will most likely reach him before he can get back to Brett.

Brett's is able to find the pistol and RED barrel in his pack, but it has not been assembled. Twisting the barrel into the body of the pistol requires two hands and he is already holding the multi-corder.

The fangy thing looks unlike anything Brett has ever seen before. It is about the size of a microwave, completley covered in scruffy/matted hair and does not appear to have any inorganic makeup at all.

It attacks Brett with it's mouth.

Will-O-WSP feels shooting pain as sharp jagged metal clamps down on his leg. looking down he can see that his leg is securely in the maw of a rusty metal bot that appears to be equal parts jaw and body. The hygiene officer stands waist deep in a river of $@#& with an open wound being caused by a rusty metal jaw clamped down on his leg.

He can just see the stamp on the top of the bot's head: G8R-BOT-008

"Damn rusty bots! This is way you need to clean them twice a week!", I shoot the robot as soon as I can and, just before pushing the trigger, I notice the stamp on the bot's head...

(I'm guessing that roll does it!) After shooting the bot, I notice the blood flowing down the river. "This doesn't look very hygienic...". I put my finger on it to figure how how deep and bad it is. Afterwards, I look up and shout "Can someone throw me a rope and pull me up?" then I add "and call a doctor?"

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Will-O-WSP fires a blast to the head of the G8R. It tears away from his leg and disappears back into the sludge.
He checks the damage on his leg. The cut is surprisingly deep and he is in danger of losing a lot of blood. Considering the situation, He is almost certain that it will become infected if not treated.

Brett-R-WYD places his laser and his multicorder down on the walkway.
then he stares intently toward Will and waves his hand in a lifting motion. Will gives Brett a suspicious look.
Then Brett slip and fall into the sludge leaving his laser and multicorder up on the walkway.

Cart-O-YRE is close enough to hear and be heard but not close enough to see the bot inside the mostly dark tunnel. He does see the orange laser blast.

Dave-R, and Will-R-WTN remain by the doorway.

Wyatt-R-VSC begins whistling atonally along as "I think I'm a Clone Now" starts up again somewhere off in the distance.

While you do so, I will recover the equipment and check on Will-O's blaster, as requested." Cart proceeded forward carefully towards the direction of Will-O and Brett-R's voices and the light of the blast. When he reached the spot where Brett had slipped, he picked up Brett-R's laser and multicorder first, before preparing to help Will-O.

"I am now here by myself, valiantly assisting fellow troubleshooters in trouble!" Cart spoke loudly as he picked up the multicorder to record where he was, where Brett-R and Will-O are relative to him, and then record the other three troubleshooters still standing by the door. As he did so he looked through the viewer to see if he could see more clearly the two dark forms circling. "Holy halitosis! There are two creatures in the water which might interfere with our mission. We must prevent them from doing so. I shall need to store this recorder in a safe place for the time being to prevent it from being damaged."

Cart placed the multicorder in his backpack, and assembled his laser pistol and also stored it. To Brett and Will-O, Do either of you have rope equipment with you or some climbing device? Without it, I'm afraid I would be dragged down to you in any attempt to lift you out. If not, we shall have to disable the creatures first before we can safely attend to your injury."

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Will-O-WSP-1 suddenly finds himself completely free of pain or worry.

Unfortunatley, this is because Will-O-WSP-1 is dead.

A G8R-bots drags the clone's lifeless body into the sludge.

A moment later, Will-O-WSP-2 appears back at the doorway.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Cart looked at Brett, injured as he was. He remembered Brett's helpfulness in attempting to assist Will-O earlier, and decided to give him the benefit of doubt. "Lily-livered lizard," Cart remarked emotionlessly at Will-O's disappearing body, then, back to Brett "I may have a way to get us back up. Watch for the creatures in the meantime." Cart put away his pistol and multicorder, and fished out his neurowhip instead. With it he attempted to lash it over the handrail above them, in order to use it as a makeshift rope to climb up (without turning it on, of course!).

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Cart had a moment of realisation at Will's last words that the shot fired at him was a mistake. Well, too late for that, he thought. So when he heard the new voice call out, identical to Will's, he understood the new arrival of a new clone. "Over here!" And turned on his neurowhip and waved it around, so that Will could spot the glow. "Watch out for the troubleshooters at the entrance. One of them will shove you! Much malarkey!"

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

Cart feels the heat of a nearby laserbeam as Brett's blast just narrowly misses his face. Reeling back he can see the top of a G8R-bot on the surface of the sludge a moment before it directs a whip of the tail at him.

The hit connects sucking the wind out of Cart and knocking him prone in the sludge. He tumbles further downstream.

Will-O-WSP-2 witnesses all this from the walkway above. The other Will and Dave remain back by the door. Wyatt has fled further down the tunnel.

Moving upstream, the tunnel begins to turn and then forks into two directions. To the left you can see a bridge crossing over the river and connecting the two walkways. To the right you can hear a slugey waterfall in the distance.

If there is a lock, Cart can't find it. He attempts to climb the fence, but the particular bar he grabs is extremely Rusty and breaks in his hand. Cart may add 6 inch Rusty iron bar to his inventory if he wishes to keep it.

Brett notices he's got one of those beady-eyed fangy things swimming towards him. He has time to do one more action before it reaches him.

I do appreciate your concern. But wouldn't you say that the general hygiene of the team would be a duty that falls under the job desctiption of the Hygiene officer? Perhaps your efforts would be better directed towards those two rather than "removing" my assigned equipment...

Obviously, I will have to report my loyalty evaluation to a commanding officer at debrief.

"Yes of course, they are next. I had to start with someone... and they were out of reach..." I quietly move away and join the others "Fear not loyal equipment guy Cart! Group clean up coming up!". As I do whatever hygiene officers do to that uncleanable sludge, using everything I can: CleanAllPoo, ScrupASlug, Fat&Blast, and whatever, I whisper to Brett, the recording officer "I think the loyalty officer over there is showing some signs of treason, refusing to join the group hygiene check up..."

Will applies the cleanallpoo to the sponge and begins scrubbing Cart's left arm. It is almost immediately obvious that the sponge isn't going to be enough as it becomes saturated with sewage before Will completes one-fifth of Cart's shoulder. Any additional scrubbing only acts to smear the sewage around.

Will sees no source of clean water.

Our bodies may be corrupted, but our minds are still sound! (except for the loyalty officer...). I repeat the process as well as I can with Brett items, out and checked (by the equipment guy), rub and spray and then nod to Cart "Indeed, we must find the source of that catchy...

In the meantime, he pulled out his whip again to get ready to defend himself.

At the edge of the murky darkness, Will can see the first of the sets of beady little eyes running in their direction. And then more. They're on both walkways.

Up here, the bars are not rusty and appear to be solid. Brett grabs ahold of the iron bars in front of him and digs his feet in the ground. He pulls on them with tremendous effort, his whole body straining. The bars remain solid. But somehow Brett is able to dig down deep and pull a little extra hard and one of the bars budges a tiny bit.

Cart can see no identification, he can only see that the part of the gate that is meant to open, is only accessible from the bottom of the tunnel

Cart's PDC:
Okay. I think I can help. It sounds like you are having trouble determining the Gate TYPE. Would you like to choose from a list of possible gates?

"Yes please show the list of possible gates to choose from." Cart spoke calmly to the PDC.

To the others however, "We have to try breaking the bars from below the sludge, that's how I managed with the first gate. All three of us go down? Up here it's all vermin." He listened anxiously to the sound of the incoming squeakers.

Okay, let's get started.
If you would like to hear more about a GATE TYPE simply repeat the name of the GATE TYPE into your PDC

Logic Gates
Slide Gates
Swing Gates
Vertical Lift Gates
Vertical Pivot Lift Gates
Bi-Folding Gates
Pedestrian Swing Gates
Pedestrian Portals
Other Gates

If you would like to hear this list again, say "Repeat Gate Types"

Cart finds it much more difficult to break the bars this time.

From down in the sludge, Cart and Brett can see that there is in fact a gated door that will easily swing out towards them and allow them through.

From above
Will can now see the stampede approaching, the walkways are so crowded with vermin that they are literally swarming over eachother, occasionally losing some into the sludge who begin frantically paddling. Beyond the squeeks and squeals and overhead music, Will can hear a wooshing sound rapidly approaching from behind the swarm.

Cart attempts to slip through the door but is hit by the rush of water and becomes disoriented and cannot find the surface.

Will-O-WSP-2 and Cart-O-YRE-1 have both drowned

Brett makes it through the doorway and takes a huge breath. For a moment he is propelled forward along the surface of the tidal wave, tumbling and sliding down tubes and tunnels in a series of waterslides. He is finally spit out into a cavernous room. The ceiling is 10 times higher than anything he's ever seen inside Alpha Complex. The ground is covered by two feet of water.

A moment later Will-O-WSP-3 and Cart-O-YRE-2 slide in from separate shoots.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

The three troubleshooter stand in a five-way intersecrtion. Treasonous music reverberates from all directions. It can be heard very distinctly coming from one tunnel one moment, and then coming out of another a moment later.

Four of the tunnels are gated from floor to ceiling. One is open.

Brett checks his uniform and equipment. The multicorder is banged up and mucky and his jumpsuit is torn, but they both seem to be operational.

As Will approaches each tunnel he can see them each disappearing off into darkness.

When Brett moves towards the center of the room he notices that the water becomes deeper. It comes up to his chest at the middle of the chamber.

Brett and Cart cannot locate any opening mechanisms on the closed gate.
Will can not see or hear anyone further down the open tunnel.

TrustyJustin sent a note to CESN

The corrugated tubes leading away from the hub are smaller then the previous tunnels. They are about the size of a storm drain, and the Troubleshooters are ankle deep in water as the enter the open tube.

After about 50ft of walking they hear a loud CLANK come from behind. Ahead of them is another gate. They are now in a 100ft section of tunnel gated in on both sides.

The gates slow down to a grind as they press in on the Troubleshooters. Elbows smash into faces; knees smoosh into spines. Will's whole hand goes outside the gate. Just as the Troubleshooters are certain that they cannot resist another ounce of pressure and are going to be pressed into flattened foodstuff.

The gates click to a halt.

She looks down at the control and is about to push another button when a thought occurs to her...

Sparks arc from the metal bars and the smell of burnt hair fills the tunnel.

Her tone implies that she is a little annoyed and insulted by Cart

Careful not to touch the bars, She tosses the controller through the gate.

I mean if you're like supposed to be the Equipment guy or whatever, then obviously you're going to do a better job then The PERSON WHO BUILT IT in the first PLACE!

The gate control appears to have way more buttons, dials and toggle switches then one would immediately expect. It is also broken. One of the buttons is wedged stuck.

"The controls look like it's functioning fine to me! Wondrous widget!" Cart stared at the smashed up gate remote, unsure what to do with it. His multipurpose repair tool had a pointy bit, a zappy bit, a wiggly bit and a rotaty bit, none of which seemed to be useful for anything.

You can upgrade my equipment? You did a great job with the gate control. She fishes through her pack and pulls out another controller and tosses it through the gate. Why don't you see if you can upgrade that! The controller is grey and rectangular. It is meant to be held with two hands. On the left is a four-directional d-pad. In the center is a rectangular button marked select and another rectangular button marked start. On the right is a circular button marked B and another circular button marked A

While Cart is inputting the series of buttons nothing happens until he hits the start button. At that point he hears a nearby bot motor start up.

A long shadow appears from Zhon's side of the gate sandwich. The sound of the bot draws nearer as Cart directs it towards the group. It is at the end of the tunnel but too far to see.

The Great and Mystifying Brett R Weird holds the Generation 3 Multicorder in one hand. It is a delicate device. The full color, hi definition camera is a mere one-inch square that sits at the end of a telescopic wand.

The other hand is pressed to his temple.

After a moment of concentration,

As you move in the Direction you last saw Zhon run off, you begin to notice little scurrying shapes far away down the tunnels, at the limits of vision. The shapes are similar to human form, but they are too small, distorted and hunched over to be people.

At the sound of Will's voice, the shapes scurry off away from the Troubleshooter group and further down the tunnels.

The G8R-Bot is a Frankenstein monster of other bots pieced together, but the main components seems to have been derived from a few older model Scrub-bots. Cart felt right at home.

On closer examination Cart can see a classic NES-Gen-1n external inhibitor on the Bot's main input receptor. There must be a nearby control sending a left turn signal to the bot. With Cart's multi-tool the inhibitor is easy enough to remove.

"Yes! Young man, I did not mean to set you on fire! It just that sometimes my awesome magics can be too great to control! Tell you what, I'll give you and your friends free admission to my shows if you tell them not to shoot at us!"

Cart now secretly wished that Brett would burn all their little heads. But he did not say this of course, but reloaded the laser rifle. "I'll cover our back as we advance," and kept an eye out for the activity behind them.

"Sounds like a trap. Be careful." Cart continued to watch the kids behind them as they advanced.

So, just pew pew noises, they are not actually firing right?

"Hey kids, did you see those ugly hunchbacked people that went in the direction you came from? It would be more fun to harrass those mutants than us, don't you think?" Brett says trying to distract them.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

I "resurrect" and just decide to ignore the kids "should we just move further?" I ask the others. Then, with know warning I shout "surprise attack", turn back and point my fingers at the young citizens behind me " pew pew pew, you’re dead!"

"Ah, right! I suppose they just meant to play with us..." Brett says stepping in the forwards direction before using his free hand to pretend to shoot the obstacles in front. "Pew pew! Pew pew! Out of my way commie traitors! Pew pew!"

One of the kids yells out and collapses, AAAAAA! He got me!

He got Bobby! You'll pay for that. pewpewpewpew!

No fair! no one said you could be a zombie!

If you're looking for someone else to shoot at, you're going the right way!

As the intrepid Troubleshooters move forward, they quickly come to the end of the tunnel. They appear to be at the bottom of a deep well.
There is no sign of Zhon, or any of the junior citizens. A long vertical ladder leads up to a circle of light above.

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

"I'll send our doggy up first. Lovely light!" Cart summoned GR8-SP0T, and nuzzled and patted it like it was his only friend in the world. In fact it probably was. He lifted him up, and proceeded to climb up the ladder towards the opening.

Just to be clear: you are staying at the bottom and Spot is climbing? If so, make a roll for Spot

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

OOC:

Oops that was unclear. I had assumed Spot can't climb, and Cart was carrying Spot up the ladder, with the intention of lifting it through the hole first, before following suit.

Brett looks around him, checking if anyone is following them while he waits for Cart to ascend. He also noticed the flashlight on Will's belt and "whispers" to him. "Psst, buddy! You might want to check your belt!"

Re: SEND IN THE CLONES

OOC:

First of all, Thank you WIll for volunteering a roll on a simple action

Will fails to press the button.
In fact, the sludge and the muck and the moisture must be too much as the flashlight slips out of hands, flashes directly into his eyes, temporarily blinding him before hitting the ground, breaking the lens and rolling into a puddle of especially pungent sewer water.

Brett can see the Junior Citizens watching from the distance. The "dead" one has gotten back up to his feet.

OOC:

Before we resolve Cart's action, I'm going to need a roll for carrying a bot in one arm and climbing a rung ladder

"Clear corridor! Safe to come up." Cart called down to the other two. In the meantime he went over to the door at the end of the hallway and attempted to listen through the door.

Edit: I roll so many 20s in this game it's not even funny any more. Well actually it is, given that this is Paranoia.
