Works for me! Let's do this!Rolls
Translation back to Earth (advantage on initiating) - (1d20+3)
(19) + 3 = 22

Minor Effect (19): Acclimation time is zero. The difficulty of all tasks relating to the translating characters’ new foci is decreased by one step for one hour.Feb 18, 2019 8:23 pm

If I can do it with a roll like that, then definitely right back in the middle of Fischer where we need to be.Feb 19, 2019 3:58 am
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. You're back in your original Earth forms, and your gear and cyphers have translated back to their Earth analogs. The Rukish weapon has turned into a large (3 feet across, 4 feet high) trio of rotating interlocking rings, hovering over a complex array of electronics and power cells. It rotates slowly, sluggishly, and the power indicator shows it in the lower, nearly drained red range.
After you have a chance to get your "Earth legs" under you, which takes no time at all this time, a door opens and an intern pops in with a tray... about 2 litres of ice water and plastic cups. He, the same red-headed, white-skinned native Moroccan as last time, looks at you uneasily. "Um, I am supposed, I mean, they, um, where's Culkin, I mean, Dr. Culkin? He's not with you? Again?" He coughs. "Please sirs?"

"Hell son you're bout as tongue tied as a horny rattlesnake at a snake kissing booth." Duke explains pouring himself a glass of water before pouring a second and giving it to the stammering intern.

Seth reaches for a cup, handing them out to the others, and, grabbing the pitcher for himself, says "Dr. Culkin has not been with us for quite some time, and we met with him only briefly before our last mission, so I am confused as to why you are under the impression that he has been with us." . Seth tries not to let the consternation into his voice, but still furrows his brow at the pitcher as he looks down to pour his water and the water for the others. He is aware that the Intern is not at fault, but is still frustrated that they are supposed to be watching what is ostensibly their superior.

A very audible sigh of relief comes for Katyu as she pat's down her earthen form. "It good to be back in originalbody. If we can, let us never go back there. I like my technology." He grabs a glass and takes a drink from it. She slowly sets it back down. "This is not vodka." Before shrugging and drinking the rest of it. "Now, may I please get some vodka."

Micah takes a glass of water and slowly sips it as he watches the others. His brow also furrows and he asks in a puzzled tone, "Where the hell is Culkin? We've got to speak with him now. Job's done!"
Feb 20, 2019 4:45 am
The intern says, "He never came, um, back? From Ruk, wherever that is? Egypt, right? I don't know." He darts out and returns with a bottle of Distinkt, a South African vodka.
"Sooooo, rumor has it that Dr. Culkin, um, well, sorry. He didn't file the, uhh, what do you call it, the uhh, you know, paperwork for, the uh, new hired types?"

Taking the cap off she takes a long swig. "Ah. Much better. Now what you mean he not return from Ruk? I thought he was here whole time."
Feb 20, 2019 1:04 pm
"Well shit... we take their doomday device they take our boss as hostage yall... standard asshole 101 move..." Duke states downing the rest of the cup and chews on ice.
Feb 20, 2019 3:58 pm
"Then let us go get him. I did not mind the Ruk. Having robot parts was very interesting. I not mind it again. She takes another swig of vodka.
Feb 20, 2019 4:41 pm
"I believe I am with Ms. Sokolov, I did not mind terribly being a mutant beast. Perhaps this time around I can be more effective." Seth says after draining his cup. "Is everyone ready to go, should we gather some supplies before we leave?"

"Gives me time to safe guard this..." Duke mutters shaking a thumb at the device.
"Well before we go down for the night how bout we raid the armory for cyphers... we're a bit down currently."

Micah looks around the room in surprise. "Wait, Dr. Culkin was kidnapped? Do we know for sure he didn't just end up getting distracted by something?" His voice trails off at the end.
Feb 21, 2019 4:03 pm
"He didn't jump to Ruk with us and was Earth side when we got back... do you really expect him to keep his nose clean running around Ruk solo after the smash and grab we did? And if you were the leader of a known extremist group and someone took your toy don't you grab something to make em come back?"
OOC:
No idea if it's a good assumption but Duke figures knowing their boss and these guys it's a safe bet... if I was an evil villain I'd do it... but I'd dress Culkin up in a maid outfit and send back as 'random pictures'... Last edited February 21, 2019 4:04 pm
