Geez3r Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Part 1.1 of the Grue Invasion starring: Dr. Archeville Ace Danger Quark Gossamer Give me a post of you getting picked up by the agents. They are highly official like, very cloak and dagger, and quite insistent you come with them, now.
Geez3r Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 If I moved it too far too fast for your liking, I can wind the clock back a bit to allow more discussion on the roof.
angrydurf Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 sense Motive (1d20+17=37) Checking to see if the Agents are reacting to my jibes appropriately.
angrydurf Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Well I guess more getting a feel of their mood. Are they just glad we're here, resentful and don't think they really need our help, clueless and impassive, etc.
Geez3r Posted May 7, 2010 Author Posted May 7, 2010 Ah. Right now, they're nervous. Too call in aid from the general public (even super heroes) means that's something's up. Something big. And as far as you can tell, that really is the Director, who seems a bit on edge himself.
Heritage Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Wow it's hard writing for folks smarter than you are! Let me know if any of that reasoning seems far-fetched, Geez.
Heritage Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Should I have Gossamer make any kind of 'brainy gal' rolls before I have her look at the monitors?
Geez3r Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 Most Knowledge and/or Computer skills will be useful in helping to interpret the results. Pick your poison, but it isn't truly necessary yet. Roll, don't roll, it's your call.
Heritage Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I'm gonna go with her strongest skill. Knowledge (Physical Sciences) check: 1d20+12=31 Nice, but does it get her anything useful?
Geez3r Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 Well for the psionic readings you can tell that it isn't just pyschic "noise". There is a pattern that is being repeated over and over again, like a command. Also, you note that the beasts are attacking all the hard infrastructure of the city. Making it harder for transportation in or out.
Dr Archeville Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Ah, yeah, I've got Doc actually fiddling with their tech, too (and running some of it through his own sensors, so he can get the skill bonus from his Gadget), so what does 43 on Computers 40 on Knowledge/Life Sciences 40 on Knowledge/Physical Sciences (Skill Mastery, Taking 10 on those three, using full Enhanced Int and Enhanced Skills via Gadget) and Knowledge/Behavioral Sciences (1d20+25=38) reveal?
Geez3r Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 The critters are intelligent. They are attacking anything that is structurally significant. It's not a simple rampage, it's sabetage. It's definately coordinated. Also, from what you've seen, everything is humanoid. Even the rhino kaiju has its joints the wrong way, as if it were a human on all 4's. Possibly mutation of a base human form.
Geez3r Posted June 29, 2010 Author Posted June 29, 2010 We can skip ahead a bit here. You guys go back and forth with various theories and then Atlas makes his announcement. Your reactions please.
Dr Archeville Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 (15:13:02) Dr_Archeville: (whispers to Geez3r) would it be safe to assume that, when the power goes out around the city after Atlas' broadcast, the AEGIS HQ's backup generators kick in a few seconds later? (15:13:44) Geez3r: (whispers) Nope. They weren't on the city grid to begin with. lights don't even flicker.
Heritage Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Would it be okay if Gossamer wanted to go to another thread?
Geez3r Posted July 3, 2010 Author Posted July 3, 2010 Well we're pretty much got 2 options at this point. You guys could go off and join the other threads, or you can deal with what I was about to reveal; there are Grue sleeper agents in AEGIS. I don't want to constrain you any, so go with whatever you'd think be more fun. If you decide to leave, I'll handwave that plot point away.

Yeah, your reveal should keep her occupied ;)
Dr Archeville Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Since you haven't done a Reputation thread for Gossamer, I have to ask here: how difficult would it be for someone (like Doc) to know that her accident/powers come from her work with Grue biomatter?

Gossamer's origin is the subject of an ongoing lawsuit and is thus not public knowledge and her findings have all been seized as evidence (this is her father's company attempting to cover its collective ass). A very skilled researcher with legal knowledge (or perhaps a German super-genius) could look it up, but that would probably be a DC 30 check. Estelle herself was lied to by her own brother who claimed the materials were synthetic analogs.
Dr Archeville Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 30, eh? Doc can Take 10 on any Knowledge and get that, when using all his resources and braininess (but he actually has ranks in Knowledge/Civics, so he can hit 35 by Taking 10). And since Goss'd mentioned she's "legally not allowed to divulge" why she has an interest in the Grue last August, he'd have sufficient (for him) reason to investigate.

angrydurf Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I think we're all up for dealing with the sleeper agents.
