Micah winces at that thought. "If they aren't planning on coming back, that would make it a suicide run. And I doubt they'd make a suicide run without causing plenty of damage. With big booms. Like bombs, ya know?"

Micah stops for second, putting a hand to the stitch in his side before continuing to jog with the others.

"Crap, I need to put in more time on the elliptical!"

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

The elevators whisk you from the gloom of Shadowed City to the luxury of Harmonious City. You find your way back to Exotic Fine Meats, the front for Fischer Astrotech.

Pushing your way into the storefront, you find Dr. Culkin playing an old hand held Pac-Man game. He shoves it to the side and stands up, and you hear the terrible sound of electronic ghosts murder-death-killing the Big Yellow.

He looks you over, suddenly confused. "What? No cab fare? Seriously. Where is the weapon?"

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

"Boss there any other recursion drop in points on this side? Leader of the nutjobs, H, came to this side to buy weapons with the item as payment possibly on a delayed trigger to use as a distraction I reckon when it goes off to escape. We really don't know what they look like so this side or the other really. I'm not even sure if they're going to do beside drop all anchors to Ruk." Duke shoots back checking his pistol, "At least on this side I'm good at hunting people down like a wild jackal." Duke adds.

Duke wonders to himself where one could get their hands on dangerous or hard to get illegal weapons if you were a shady recursion jumping zealot.

On the plus side, we did kick a bunch of Karum ass. We can kick it just as well over there too. Vinny says proudly then shrinks as he realizes it wasn't the best time for that comment.

Micah shakes his head, panting, "It's on Earth, Culkin. We gotta get back quick." He pauses for a few seconds then says, "Like now, let's go!"

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

" All right then everyone, gather around me in a tight circle. If Mr. Culkin wishes to join us, or perhaps even hasten our translation, that is entirely up to him". Seth says, looking archly at Culkin, who has not appeared to have fully grasped the gravity of the situation-in Seth's eyes at least.

Seth begins the process of translating them back to Earth's recursion.

OOC:

Ok, GM, what's my difficulty here, and what can I use to give me an asset? Can anyone else translate, and hasten or ease it?

We all have an asset to some part of the translation. I can assist as a Paradox with the initiation, Vectors help ease, Spinners help hasten.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

Culken is unaware of an Inapposite gate to get you to Earth without Translating. He is sure there probably is one, he just doesn't know where it might be.

In order to Translate, if Seth is leading such, Seth needs to roll a d20 versus a target difficulty of 3 (roll a 9 or better).

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

Seth begins the process of translation, with the help of his team, bringing the time required from hours to almost ten minutes. He concentrates on the essences of his comrades, their individual sparks and how they differ from each other, making sure that their core being is what is translated through the Aether. Their current husks will fall away and be replaced with the bodies that they were born with, their consciousness seated firmly in their homes.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

As the trance progresses, all characters participating in the translation see a vision of the Strange: a region of void filled with repeating fractal patterns spiraling off into infinity. As the trance continues, the destination recursion slowly begins to resolve, first Earth and then Morocco, becoming more and more defined as the end of the trance approaches.

You successfully arrive at Fischer Astrotech's room set aside for arrivals and departures.

Dr. Culkin had stayed behind, citing further research he might be able to accomplish, and instructing you to get to Istanbul. He gave you a letter to give to Fischer saying basically the same.

Unless I've misread the rules, I think there is just the one roll, so Translation is now complete.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

Contrary to his usual demeanor, as the translation begins, Vinny closes his eyes and begins a slow, deep breathing exercise. For a moment, you feel the nausea from the translation build in your belly. Vinny's breathing becomes more forceful as a warmth washes over your body significantly reducing the queeziness.

Micah shakes off his momentary illness, watching as his Ruk self melts away into the form that he recognizes. He coughs and slaps Vinny on the shoulder. "Always a kick in the gut, right?"

"I have neverr felt right afterr trranslations." She links her fingers and places them on top of her head as a runner would. Breathing slowly she holds back a dry heave before taking a deep breath and settleing down.
"Alrright, I need to find computerr."

Reminds me of the time my ex gave me food poisoning "by accident" Vinny winces as he makes air quotes before sitting down on a nearby bench.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

After you have a chance to get your "Earth legs" under you, a door opens and an intern pops in with a tray... about 2 litres of ice water and plastic cups. He, a red-headed, white-skinned native Moroccan, looks at you uneasily. "Um, I am supposed, I mean, they, um, where's Culkin, I mean, Dr. Culkin?" He coughs. "Please sirs?"

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

Micah shakes his head and waves behind himself. "He didn't come back with us. Had stuff to take care of, research, you know, the usual."

Micah steps forward and begins to pour the water into the plastic cups and passing them out to the rest of the team. "Only the finest of ice waters for you all! Nice and cold!" After handing a cup to everyone else, he puts his own to his lips and drinks it loudly, not stopping until his head is thrown all the way back and the cup is empty.
