"WHO IS IT!?"

>>9910690
OOC: So we've archived the other thread/done all necessary maintenance right?

IC: Ask what wrong and whom is looking for us.

rolled 33 = 33

If only we could scout with blood in a manner that does not involve burning everything.
Let us roll for the creation of some type of touch-sensing organ - like a blood hand or something - that doesn't automatically kill shit.

"Listen," holding eye contact with Walters, "I like you guys - but you're so outclassed here it isn't even funny. You wanted to evacuate? Do it. Head to the nearest safehouse you know of and give me the co-ordinates. I'll meet up with you when I have the Archivist with me."

"From now on, you're MY backup and intel."

>>9910703
>>9910715
"Who is it?" You call out. Walters gives you a "what the fuck" look. You shrug.
"Could somebody let me in please, before I'm horribly irradiated or eaten or something?" Comes a female-sounding voice.

>>9910703
This.

rolled 67 = 67

>>9910756
"What's the magic word? =)"

>>9910756
Well she said please.
Ask her what combat capabilities she has.

>>9910756
YOUR NOT STONERBRO!!!!!! IMPOSTOR!!!!!!!!!!!

>>9910752

This, then this

>>9910703

>>9910756

No trip?

>>9910756
>Holy shit what happened to my trip

"What's the magic word?" You call out.
"Wh---what?" Walters punches you in the arm, then moves to cover the door.
"Gadsby, open it, slowly."
You hold your whips at the ready as Gadsby eases the door open.

Standing outside is a girl, looking about thirteen, plainly dressed in a plain black t-shirt and knee-length skirt. Her brown hair is drawn back into a ponytail.
"Thanks!" she says cheerfully.

>>9910756
>>9910832
>HOLY SHIT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TRIP
Yeah, both those are me.

>>9910832
>thirteen
>13
KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Just kidding
"Who would you be?"

>>9910832
Ask who she is. And why is she still here?

>>9910832
"Maybe I have a problem with trusting people"
"Especially young girls, or have you forgotten FUCKING 13?"

>>9910832
Why do i get the feeling this wont end well? AT ALL?!?!@!?

>>9910832

Do nothing for now, listen to what she has to say.

>>9910865
>>9910860
>>9910849
"Yeah, sorry, maybe I just have a problem trusting people, especially little girls."
The girl looks at you, then at Walters.
"What? I don't trust you. Can you blame me?"
She shrugs.
"I guess not. Who killed the mantis?"
"That was me. No, wait, I ask, you answer. Who the hell are you?"
"Cool!" she says, grinning broadly. "My name's Clara. 33, that nice old man in Tampa, sent me up here, told me to help, said you guys needed assistance more than he did. Looks like he was right..." She tries to walk forward, but you and the other agents don't budge.
"Can...can I come in?"

>>9910914

Shit, what does 33 do again?

>>9910914
......................WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

>>9910927
He's the Archivist.

>>9910914

What can she do to help us out exactly?

>>9910914
And your number is what again? Sorry but ive had several rough days please come in and have a seat.

Iiiiiiii don't trust her.

I vote we leave. With the girl.

33 sent you?

Let me change my question. WHAT are you?

"Who did ya say ya were, again?"

>>9910914
"You have a number?"

"You got a number, or are you not affiliated with arkham?"

>>9910972
>>9910952
"Come on. Sorry, everyone's a little on edge."
Clara walks inside, marveling at the computers on the walls.
"Wow, you guys have a lot of computers in here."
"This site was originally designed to interpret data, sort of a big number-crunching facility. 33 actually worked here for a while," Gadsby offers.
"So if 33 sent you, what can you do exactly?"
"Oh, yeah, I guess that would have helped before..."
Clara holds out her left arm. Seams open up, bisecting her arm from her elbow all the way to between her middle and ring fingers. The flesh snaps open into four sections, opening like a flower to reveal a metal barrel surrounded by three rapidly spinning, humming metal plates.
"33 says I'm an...automata? I don't know if I have a number or anything..."

>>9911050
.......................Wow 33 is FUCKING AWESOME!

"whoa."

>>9911050
"I'll have to meet this 33 eventually. Clara, I'm Helen and Garfield, or 82, This is Brody, Walters and Gadsby and...who the hell are you anyways" (There are Three Arkham types, right?"

>>9911050
Right. We have a new super-team member.
"That's... well, lets just say I had a friend who would have loved to meet you"
"I'm Helen, 82, and that's Devon over there, 41, he gets confused alot, but don't worry about it."

>>9911050

"Ah, a robot. I've seen weirder this week. How long is your battery good for, and are you immune to gamma radiation?"


Radiation does cause lattice displacement that weakens metal over time, which has to be solved by annealing.

>>9911050
"Well Japan is going to freak to know they dont get to make your kind first."

There is a loud report from behind you. Clara raises her arm, and several sparks fly as a bullet richochets off her arm.
"Get back ma'am!" you hear brody shout, followed by the click of a rifle reloading.
"Brody, NO!" you shout, whirling on him. He has the rifle set against his shoulder, and looks back and forth nervously. He slowly lowers his gun.
"Wow! So are you like in charge around here?" Clara asks, her arm snapping back together; she wiggles a few of her fingers experimentally.

>>9911050
A robot... I suppose it was only a matter of time. 33 send anything else? Like a message?

Keep the girl and Brody, but...

>>9910752
To the agents.

Lolibot, Lolibot, ooh, Loli, Loli Loli. Lolibot.
Do do dun dun.
Call my baby Lolibot, tell you why...

>>9911182
Somebody has to be, so yeah, I guess so.

Ask Walters how they contained 19 and 62 in the first place so we can start formulating a plan.

>>9911182
"You might want to keep the freaky stuff on the down-low, okay? And, yes, I'm calling the shots here."

>>9911182
In charge of him, at least. He's functionally immortal, but has memory issues.

>>9911202
were gunna need another card.... Wow this could be a problem.
"Anyone got a laminating mechine? PFC Brody is going to need another card. Also, Clara, this is PFC Brody, a man stuck in time, resets everything every hour or so, unless he gets hurt badly first. Brody, I suspect this is our new squad member."

"Do our soldier a favor and put your arm back together, please,"

>>9911213
between the BLOODSEX and lolibots, i think /d/ has invaded tonites session.

>>9911264
What BLOODSEX?

"That's right, I'm in command. This is private Brody. Robot, Brody. Brody, Robot. He'll be meeting you a lot, from now on. Every hour or two, he forgets everything that's happened past him fighting in WW1."

Give her instructions to instruct Brody every time he forgets everything.

>>9911276
Previous thread.

>>9911306
Yeah, I was there. There was no bloodsex.

"Clara, this is private Brody. Brody, this is Clara, our newest squad member. Brody here is immortal, but his mind resets every hour or so, he can't advance past World War I. Could you brief him every hour or so if he seems like he's getting confused?"
"I think so, yeah..." Clara nods slowly.

"Now you three," you say, turning to the Arkham survivors. "As noble as your efforts are, you're hopelessly outclassed. Let us stick around and try and clean up here, and we'll go get 33. You should get back to Chicago, that seems to be where Arkham is regrouping now. How did you guys originally contain 19 and 62?"
"Well, they kept 19 in a lead sarcophagus or something, and I believe 62 was...cryogenically frozen? I'm not really sure, and neither of them are really contained right now. 62 seems reluctant to move, and 19 just roams around like a psychopath."

>>9911341
Yeah, absolute zero. I totally called that.

>>9911182
Man, I Love Blood quest for how random the #'s are. 96 (I GOT IT RIGHT!) is Shelob the psychic space spider, 13 is an elder god, 33 Archives stuff, and now we have Clara.

I belive its time we got to know our new backup, sent our conventional allys on to safety while we plan this mess out. "Hay Garfield, what do you make of the core of our new squad?"

>>9911354
yup, nice call there.

>>9911341
"Right, please tell me theres a Liquid Nitrogen Gun or something in your arsinel, because I have NO idea what to do otherwise..."

>>9911339
It was mentioned briefly right before Coolbro died.
>>9911341
"I'm going to need that sniper rifle now. 19 or 88 should be our first target."

>>9911368
"Garfield, what are your thoughts."
"She seems nice. Brody still makes me nervous. But it's good to have the help."

"Alright, we're taking one of the vans and getting the hell out of here. We'll call you when we're clear, and if we run into anything, we'll call you with intel. Here," Walters scribbles a number on a piece of paper and passes it into your hand.

>>9911387
Need more than Liquid Nitrogen. Absolute zero results in no molecular movement, so things can't degrade. Anything above that, I think he'd still work. I am really not sure how to achieve that without time guy's cooperation so let's hope he's friendly.

>>9911422
Right then. LETS GET HUNTING!

>>9911403
you guys ever start wondering why we are so proficent with assorted weapons? Not to put to fine a point on things, but I have a terrible feeling Arkham's little Newtype Soldier training program went further then we think it did, and then Key/Gate blotted it out from our memory...

>>9911438
Or it could just be the fact that our life SUCKED BAWLZ b4 we got arrested and we were a par tof a gang or something.

>>9911438
You know? I don't really care. Arkham is fucked, and if we can form the core of a better organisation that gives our particular brand of misfits help and something to do, I'm all for it. Very SCP.

>>9911403
I figured Brody was the more obvious choice. It's not like he'd remember it.

>>9911438
I know, it's this shit that made me worried before we found out about the Key/Gate program, and our life, pre-Garfield.

>>9911435
Agreed.

>>9911438
My god, it's the S3 plan!

88 and 19 are easy. we just need to kill them. If 62 doesn't want to move, then he can wait. 19 is a bigger threat because he can kill us without us ever knowing about it. Let's find him.

Check the computers, look for Geiger counter data.

>>9911489
19 yes. 88, possibly.

>>9911341
Remind them to suit up for radiation and then go off after 88, to give them the best chance of making it out.

"OH," Walters says, pointing to a black duffle bag. "There's a Barrett in there; that should help you out."
"I can't put together a gun!" you protest.
"I can take care of it!" Clara says eagerly.

>>9911543
All whisper-like
"Nice to be on the same side for real, huh Jacob?"

>>9911501

Easy in the sense that he can't outsmat boolit. He's armored, but otherwise doesn't have any real shenanigans. Time powers that age people without making them super fast compared to the outside world is a dick move, and will have to be planned for.

Let's just send Brody at 19. He'll kill the bastard, and even if he takes a lethal dose of radiation, that takes hours or days to kill. It's next to impossible to get dosed so hard you'd die in under a minute or two. He'll be in and out before he feels like he's gotten anything more damaging than a full body (and retina) sunburn.

>>9911543
"Okay, Clara, you're handling the big gun then. Any idea where 88 is lurking?"

>>9911573
second on that.

Get a rundown on what Clara can do (skills and inhuman abilitys) Before we head out take Clara aside and ask her (sure it might be an it, but treat them as human and they will act human) what she knows about 33 and why 33 sent her.

>Matches have been found. This means that I can SMOKE MOAR

All whisper-like
"Nice to be on the same side for real, huh Jacob?"
Jacob stares at you for a moment, then smiles.
"We've got rad suits in the car, so 19 shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you go after 88 and draw him out we should have a clear escape."
"Goo-" you start.
"Good luck!" Clara cuts you off.
"Good luck." you say again, staring at the android sideways.

The three of you stand around a metal table; Brody reads his card, nodding to himself slowly; Clara cracks her left shoulder with a sound like a rivet being driven.
"Okay," you say. "We need to draw 88 into the open. Any ideas?"
"If he's dug in, let's gas him out," Brody suggests.
"I could be a diversion," Clara offers.
"It's your call," Garfield says. "You call the shots, remember?"

>What's the plan?

>>9911629
SMOKE

>>9911629
"No Clara, you'll be support, we need you to get a good vantage point. Brody: You, me and Garfield are going to make a lot of noise. There might be explosions, I'm playing this by ear right now"

>>9911629
>"If he's dug in, let's gas him out," Brody suggests.

Did Brody just have a GOOD IDEA?

>>9911629
target is in urban enviornment, if we have gas, use that to get him out in the open, preferabally into a firing range for Clara to eliminate at range. We personally are of little use, being that we cant use Garfield without compromising our only defense agasint a lethal dose of radiation, dropping us to a pistol and possibly driving. Using Brody as the lure is harsh, but it might be the only option. Surely our target will go "WTF" at the sight of someone who does not keel over. Also the constant screaming gives us a prosimate location on the target. Once we have a clear shot, try and keep this as painless as possible. He cant help irraditing the area.

>>9911675
Hey you leave brody alone, he's awesome. >:(

>>9911629
Big noises would seem to work well.
>>9911675
In a WWI tactics sense, yes he is.

I'm falling asleep, see ya'll tomorrow.

>>9911629

It's too bad we can't hit 88 with a hydrofluoric acid aerosol.

>>9911698
We're going to hit 88 first, but gas could work on either of these numbers.

>>9911698

We need to lure out 88 first, he's the bone-guy. If we don't lure him out, he'll ambush the agents as they try to escape.

>One last meta-question. Since we won't be seeing it again presumably, could I get a number on the mantis for filing purposes?

>>9911711
Let's try the diplomatic approach with 88. After all, weren't we pretty much the same before we met 54 and 13?

>>9911711
not really. most gas attacks would be based on an active ingredient, which would decay due to age before it hit time guy.

We're sort of thinking about fighting him the wrong way, i think. (I also think that first we should see if we can NOT fight him)

Anyway, due to the time distortion, we don't need a plan that kills him now. We need a plan that kills him now, tomorrow, next week, and for the next 50 years.

>>9911755
Well, what about 19?

>>9911737
wiat, its 88 thats our next objective? I thought we were going to take out the Gamm radiation problem. Well might as well try if the bone guy is around. IIRC hes not too bright. Lets hope hes willing to work with us (or at least peacable to those not trying to shoot him)

>>9911768
We're dealing with 88 to give Walters and his Arkham bros an easier time escaping.

>>9911755
I'm not talking about the time guy. I'm talking about the bone guy and the radioactive guy. We're going to try and talk the time guy down, because they only contained him with what is effectively magitech.

We get a general idea of where 88 is, post Clara down a street with the anti materiel rifle, and walk around with Brody taunting him until we can catch sight of him, then we launch a gas grenade to try and get him to charge, luring him out into the street. Hopefully then Clara pegs him with the rifle.
>>9911705
That is something that should never be invented.

>>9911783
And with that, let's be off!

"Clara, you'll be support; assemble the rifle and get to a high position; Garfield, Brody, and I are going to make some noise, try to draw him out."
"Who's Garfield?" They both ask.
"Well, he's my blood. He can speak to me, and I can control him to use as a weapon.
Brody nods thoughfully. Clara merely stares, her deadpan face slowly brightening.
"That...is...so...COOL!" she says, clapping her hands.
"You hear that? I'm -cool-" Garfield says smugly.

>>9911734
>I think he was 98 or 99. Let's go with 99

>>9911824

Wait, have Clara check for industrial cleaning supply shops in the area.

They use HF as a cleaning agent! It'll totally fuck up bone-guy's shit.

>>9911824
Anyone else seeing Clara as the squad 'upbeat' person? (lets pray this is not one of those happy,happy,snap,apocalipse types)

>>9911854

I seriously fucking doubt anyone cleans with hydrofluoric acid. It eats metal, glass, pretty much anything that isn't teflon, kills people on skin contact in a horrifically painful fashion, and is generally nasty shit.

Hey... can Clara access a satellite?

You call Walters as you leave.
"Any sign of him?"
"Yeah, we think we saw him running across some rooftops about ten blocks west of you."
"Excellent. Stay safe."

>Going to wrap up, feelin' sleepy as hell. Pretty good progress/New character, yay. How're you guys feeling about all this? Also, looking forward to the updated Arkham archives.

88 still needs eyes to see. let's get a gasmask for ourselves and Brody and gas or mace the shit out of 88.

>>9911969
I LOVED IT!!!! XD

>>9911888

You'd be surprised at what people use. HF is used for cleaning carpets, in car detailing for cleaning up hubs, and in metal etching.

>>9911969
I enjoyed it, especially the intro for part 13. It took a while to hit me that we were a car thief and a WWI soldier fighting giant purple spiders.

And I thought the scene with Spider Lebron was wierd...

Congrats, Stonerbro

>>9911969
very intrested to see where this goes, and learn of our new ally. Looking for a good picture for both Brody and Clara now btw.

>>9911969
It's good, yeah. Our team lacks offensive punch other than ourselves, but seems quite durable. We're starting to get backup and intel together so hopefully things are on the up.

>>9911969
I'll post them at the start of tomorrow's thread.

>>9912040
I've got one or two...

>>9912082

This is fucking trippy and Awesome Stoner DM. What more is there to say?

found brody

>>9912082
eah, I know I have seen on thats nearly perfect, fitting her little entrence scene. Just cant find it.

>>9912257
Think I know the one you mean. Don't have it though.

>Update: Almost 4:20. Pic related

>>9912384
I love that picture.
