Xiordin stands near them and accepts some rice candy. "That's mighty friendly of you, Ziggy. I'm Xiordin, that's Sioux, and these are Scrap and Soryn."
He stops with the candy near his mouth. "Not that I'm not pleased to meet you, but why in particular is today our big day?"

"I must admit to be curious as well. What do you have in store for us, Ziggy?" Soryn politely takes a piece of rice candy and pockets it for later. "And thank you."

Ziggy cocks his head to the side, "Because you graduated today, of course!" he says into your mind with amusement, "Has the busy day scrambled your brain?"
"When you are ready, I have two assignments I could use assistance with. The first is to help me secure a new headquarters on Absalom Station. I’ve been in talks with our station’s protectors, the Stewards, and they were kind enough to give us ownership of a warehouse here in Downlow for that purpose! The current owners no longer want it because a vicious creature took it over and kills anyone who goes inside. Once the threat is gone and the warehouse cargo has been returned to its owners, we can start installing desks and computers, so please go in and incinerate the creature!"
"My second assignment..." Zigvigix twitches their tooth barbs for a moment and then holds out a credstick. "Please buy the brand-new Strawberry Machine Cake album, Star Sugar Heartlove!!!, which is out today, and give it to Historia-7 when you see her. She is the head of the Dataphiles, so you should meet her today if you haven't already! I wish to do it myself, but I... I have trouble standing for long periods of time. Thank you very much!"

After visiting with Historia-7 again, I would be ready to hurt something. Lets get her that cake. There is a tight smile of Sioux face

"Can't say I'm thrilled with the second task, but I am curious to see if we might elicit more than a sour expression from Historia-7 by bringing such a thing to them." Soryn grins, "But that first task, that sounds fun. I say we tackle that first, what do you all think? Yet, if we perish, we will never have the opportunity to see our friend Historia-7 again...a shame that would be."
Oct 23, 2024 12:04 pm
You are right. We were just there at the Dataphiles.
Lets clear out a warehouse first. But I want to get a bit to eat on the way.

Xiordin smiles broadly. "A task fit for a Starfinder crew!" He then clarifies, "The incineration, not the pop music. I don't even like that band " His eyes shift back and forth to see if anyone buys his deception.

"I appreciate your help," he says, patting his leg, "If my leg worked better, I'd do it myself, but..." he finishes with a shrug.
Oct 24, 2024 11:49 pm
Soryn nods. "An opportunity to test our teamwork in a real ground fight, then. While we get some food for Sioux, we should talk strategy."

You make your way to the warehouse to take a look at what you are working with. You find it surrounded by security with a barrier set up around it. One of them, an elven woman in an immaculate uniform, steps forward and snaps a salute, "You must be the Starfinders we were told about?" she asks, "Once you're ready to enter, let me know and we'll let down the barrier for you."
The building is a standard metallic warehouse, standing about thirty feet tall. It's not in great condition, rust spots and general city grime adorn the outside, but it seems to be sound enough to get started with, at least once it's seen some care.

Black smoke rolls of Sioux'es shoulders and down to her hands, where the nanobots solidifies into a awfully big gun. Straps and anchor points forms as well allowing her to move the heavy weapon.
Haven't tried this design in the field yet. Its going to be fun!

Level 1; Price 330
Hands 2; Proficiency Heavy

Bulk 2; Special boost 1d4
Source Starfinder Core Rulebook pg. 181
You can charge up a weapon with this special property as a move action. When you do, you increase the weapon’s damage by the listed amount on the next attack you make with the weapon. Boosting expends charges from the weapon equal to its usage value. This increases the weapon’s damage and is multiplied on a critical hit. Boosting a weapon more than once before firing it doesn’t have any extra effect, and the extra charge dissipates if the weapon is not fired by the end of your next turn.Agitator
An agitator is a portable generator of microwave radiation that rapidly heats up targets to create internal bubbles of steam or makes targets burst into flames. The longer the weapon is focused, the more intense the agitation becomes, making it a favored by the defenders of bunkers, guard posts, and other emplacements. Ember agitators and blaze agitators rely on individual generators, taking the form of a bulky cylinder in the middle of the gun that hums ominously as the weapon fires, but miniaturization technology allows inferno agitators and solar flare agitators to include multiple smaller generators for increased effect.

Xiordin draws his blade, a black sword that reflects wisps of black light. A glowing mote of darkness circles his head, as he enters graviton mode.
"Eyes forward, people. Remember your training and watch the corners."

Soryn pops a dart out of his bandolier and flicks the it with his finger, plunging a small spurt of liquid out of it. "Hope everyone likes needles! Xiordin, as we're about to open the door, I'll give you a little boost. Everyone else...don't stress if you feel a slight prick during combat, it'll help. I promise!" Soryn grins and prepares to enter.
OOC:
Q - this will last 3 rounds, so hopefully 1-2 rounds of actual combat if I hit you before we pop the door. Do you want +1 AC or +10 speed?Nov 7, 2024 2:05 pm
Sioux waves a hand through the remnant of the nano-cloud. This is my nanobots. Right now they are making me a gun, but I can use them for otherthings aswell - including protection and concealing.
She eyes Soryn with a grin
And where Soryn will administer a small prick, my cloud will be a lovers caress.
She hopes that the others catches the double entendre.

The elven security officer nods and presses a button, opening up the way for you to enter. You enter the double doors into the warehouse. The ceiling is 30 feet up and industrial lights hang down, dimly illuminating the rest of the area. One of the bulbs flickers irregularly, making the place seem even more shabby. A catwalk lines the walls 15 feet up and makes its way around the entire warehouse. The floor space is full of barrels and crates, a rundown vehicle taking up the southwestern corner. You don't see any sign of life within the building.

"I will defer to those more armored to take the lead," Soryn suggests. "Xiordin, I'll hit you with this boost as soon as you're ready. It will last for just under 20 seconds."

Sioux looks for a ladder to get to the catwalk. Her big gun is mostly suited for overwatch

"Alright, give me your boost. I'll go in fast and try and draw attention. If I take fire I'll kite them father in, and hope you can get a bead on them from the side. Sounds good?"

At the moment, you don't see anything dangerous, but there are plenty of places to hide in a warehouse such as this.
