For successfully getting power restored, you get a skill point.

Athletics [Basic]
Firearms [Basic]
First Aid [Basic]
Vehicles [Basic]
or
Any Basic Skill [Specialty]

You can upgrade a [Basic] skill with a [Specialty] in that skill, as per the following examples.

+ Mechanics [Automotive]
+ First Aid [Lacerations]
+ Athletics [Climbing]
+ Dinosaur Knowledge [Specific Species]
etc.


[Basic] skills are not required to attempt actions (i.e. you can still drive a car under normal circumstances without Vehicles [Basic]), but it will make more difficult actions easier to attempt or lessen penalties or failures. [Specialty] skills further this.

Additional [Basic] and [Specialty] skills will be largely chosen by the players, and will be acquired as you progress through the story or gain experience in an area.

>>14049549
Well personally I think it should be Mechanics [Wiring] since that is what we had the practice with, but obviously others may feel differently.

Anyone else want a say?

Whose dick do I have to suck for a dinosaur riding skill?

"*static* Porter, Central is reporting that we're receiving power from the wind turbines. Good work. Now get down to the Iguanadon Inn. If you see any dinos outside of containment, radio them in and we'll have a dino reclamation team to pick them up eventually."

Is anyone still interested in this?

>>14050417
Head to the jeep. On the way out see if there is any obvious entrance the Compys are using; if there is, try and plug it. If not, just close the door and get moving. Oh, and remember to turn off all torches to conserve power.

>>14050919

You and Perkins head up to the main floor and open the door. There appears to be a large dinosaur sniffing around the jeep.

>>14051069
Back up quietly, close door, and radio it in. Complete with a description, since you don't recognize it; need to know if it's dangerous.

>>14051131

"*static* Sounds like a dilophosaurus. Tranq it and get going. Oh, and don't let it spit on you."

>>14051242
Well, ready our tranq guns, both of us. We want to shoot it together, quickly, and keep our eye out for more- what if these run in packs?

>>14051426

"Aww man, can't we wait it out?"

Make a d100 weapons check.

rolled 59 = 59

>>14051683
NORMALLY PEOPLE GET HIGH OFF THIS SHIT

>>14051693

Perkins nails the dilo in the neck with a tranq, but you miss completely due to your inexperience with firearms, and because the flashlight taped to the gun is making it imbalanced.

The dilophosaur jerks back when it gets hit with the tranq and looks at you. Then it hisses and unfolds this weird collar thing.

>>14051811

Hit the deck!!

>>14051811
Dodge before it spits. We were warned about this.

Perkins, too. Give that tranq some time to work.

>>14051927
>>14051865

You slam the door shut and hear a *thunk* on the door.

What time is it currently?

>>14052088

Your watch puts it around 4 PM.

>>14052088

It's around 4 PM.

You hear a loud crashing sound and the door bulges inward. The dilophosaurus appears to be trying to ram its way in. Luckily, the door swings outward. But the dinosaur is pretty heavy.

>>14052088

Around 4 PM.

>>14052106

Now it tells me those posts got through.

"Now, how long did it take for the tranqulizer to kick in?.."

>>14052292
>>14052255

"What the fuck are you doing, man?!"

The door buckles inward and the dilophosaur falls into the room....and just lays there. Hey, look at that, the tranq kicked in.

rolled 5 = 5

>>14052389
Well we can't leave it inside. Let's drag it outside, close the door, and get the hell out of here.

>>14052457

Between the two of you, you manage to pull the body outside, damn that thing is heavy.

"Why in the hell did you jump on me?!"

So I panicked a little, I'm sorry. That thing was ready to attack.

>>14052567

"Whatever, just don't do that again."

You pile into the jeep and drive out of the compound. On your way out, you see another 2 jeeps parked outside the fence, they're filled with dirt, shovels, and other landscaping gear. No sign of anybody though.

>>14052828
Let's drive to the inn. And i guess we should report the dilpho..dilo.. collar-saurus incident.

rolled 20 = 20

>>14052828
Make a mental note of the location, dinosaurs do not dig their own getaways.

Radio in that there's a tranq'd Dilophosaur loose and confirm what the procedure is for a loose carnivore.

>>14052828
Call it in to Dispatch.
"Dispatch, we tranqed a dilophosaur inside of the Windmill Power Station. I saw the jeeps for the other maintenance crews to seal up the fence, but I don't see any of them.
"Dispatch, I think you might want to send a Security team around.
"Perkins and I are gonna go to the Inn now."

>>14052292
You are a fucking moron.

"Dispatch, so you know, if shit starts to get down, and dinosaurs start running loose all over, I'm just going to get the fuck out of here as fast as I can."

>>14052828

"*static* You tranqed the dilophosaur in the shed? The one filled with compys?"

>>14053079
"No, we tranqed it just outside of the shed and closed the door behind us."

>>14053079
"No, Dispatch, we dragged the dilophosaur to outside the shed, but we couldn't get it out of the compound.
"Just to let you know, though, that it attacked us, and broke down the door to the shed before the tranqs kicked in."

>>14053100
>closed the door behind us
The door's been broken inwards, dude.

>>14053100

"*static* Alright, good work. Carry on." The next bit is very faint and you can barely hear it, sounds like he's talking to someone else.

"Sounds like we lost another maintenance team.....No, to a dilophosaur.....It's tranqed out by the windmills, couple of maintenance workers got it....Don't know if they put it together, don't think so." The conversation cuts out.

Dinner, be back soon.

"...Did you hear that last bit, Perkins?"

>>14053155
"....Perkins, did I just hear what I thought I just heard?
"What say, before we go to the Inn, we swing by the East Dock, and I try to jury-rig some better flamethrowers?
"Hell, wasn't Atkins from Security ex-Army? Maybe we should try to call him and get him with us?"

I'd love to go back to the employee barracks to get some weapons, but the fucking raptor pens are right fucking there, and I am NOT going there without lots of guns, and armor-plating welded to our jeep.

>>14053167

"Last bit of what?"

>>14053155
Gentlemen, our fucked-o-meter has hit 5, the island is now a dinobomb.(It always was, but now it's guaranteed.)
Let's get to that inn and be wary of any changes in employee behavior.

>>14053278
Pull out the map and indicate where the dilophosaur pens are located, in relation to the windmills.

"Look man, they just said they lost another maintenance team. Those guys out there might be dead.
"That was a fucking predator dino man, and it's not supposed to be anywhere near this place. Dispatch said some of the fences had been breached; who knows which dinos got loose.
"And let me tell you Perkins, other people might have slept through the orientation, but I fucking checked that Raport Pen; they didn't fucking build an emergency backup generator for those fences."

>>14053310
>be wary of any changes in employee behavior.

What, you think they're fucking REPTOIDS or something? Most of them probably know about as much as we do.

...unless they ARE all secretly dinosaurs themselves.

Oh shit, dude, I need to sit down.

Just passing through, thought you should know: there is no evidence anywhere of dilophosaurus having a frill. Or spitting venom.

>>14053310
I disagree.
Power is back up, so the fences work again.
I say we get some weapons first before we go to the inn.
Look at where it is: it's only a mile from the Raptor Pens, and a 1.5 miles from the rest of the carnivores.

>>14053310

On your way to the inn, your radio squawks again.

"*static* Porter, we've got somebody on the power issues at the inn, but the guests are complaining about the water tasting rusty. Head over to the desalinization plant to see what's going on. Before that, swing by the Maintenance barracks to pick up Perkins, he'll assist."

Perkins's radio squawks.

"*static* Perkins, Porter is swinging by maintenance to pick you up. You and him will be heading to the desalinization plant to take a look around. The guests are complaining about rusty-tasting water."

>>14053351

I'm faithful to the movie, not real life.

>>14053351
>STOP HAVING FUN GUYS

>>14053411
Look to Perkins:
"Well that makes things easier."
Let's still head by the employee barracks to pick up weapons.
"Copy that, Dispatch. On my way to the employee barracks now."

>>14053351

Yeah, but just to play devil's advocate, there's not any evidence to suggest they didn't have that either. Skin doesn't fossilize (though skin imprints very rarely do) and it's not like venom glands do either. On top of that, it's not like we have tons of Dilo skeletons either.

>>14053411

Desalinization plant? Aw man, that's on the entire other side of the island. Least it's only be the Trikes and the... Metriacanthasaurus pens?

What the hell is a Metriacanthasaurus?

>>14053493

Well, the frill WOULD need bone ribs to support it. And we'd be able to see where the muscles for it might attach on the neck bones.

Which road should we take to get to the desalinization plant? The main service road is a seriously roundabout route to get there. There's the tour road, but we don't know if any tours are currently active on it, and where.

Also, going one way on the tour road takes us along the Tyrannosaur pen and going the other takes us between the baryonx and dilophosaur pens.

>>14053527

Australian Frill Necked Lizards have a cartilaginous support system. Cartilage doesn't fossilize easily, and combined with the rareity of Dilo skeletons it wouldn't be so surprising if it didn't show up. Muscle's I'll grant you but it wouldn't take much muscle power to inflate a light frill that's mainly skin and cartilage.

>>14053595
>There's the tour road, but we don't know if any tours are currently active on it, and where.


Are we allowed to drive on the Tour Roads? If so, the bosses probably wouldn't want us driving by any active tours if there are. We'll probably have to call in, ask for permission to drive on the tour road, and ask where any tours we might need to avoid currently are.

Still, that can wait until after we pick up Perkins.

>>14053595
I'm actually thinking the roundabout service road way is better, because we won't have to pass through the perimeter fence twice.

>>14053693

You are allowed to drive on tour roads, and the bosses don't mind if you pass active tours. So long as you don't loiter.

>>14053681

An adult dilophosaur is ten feet tall. Mere cartilage support might work for something as small as a frilled lizard, but we're talking about a great difference of scale.

The dilo would need greater structural support for its frill.

>>14053693
>Still, that can wait until after we pick up Perkins.
....Perkins is right beside us in the fucking jeep.

>>14053724
Look, while the others argue about what is and isn't feasible for dilophosaurs, can we just get to the employee barracks, and pick up some real weapons?
I'm talking shotguns, assault rifle for Perkins, an extra stun prod, and putting together a flamethrower.

Anyone asks why we need lots of welding equipment, we're going to the desalination plant.

>>14053707
>I'm actually thinking the roundabout service road way is better, because we won't have to pass through the perimeter fence twice.

Well, that makes sense. What's the most direct route along the service road, North or South?

>>14053726
Why the fuck are we arguing about Dilophosaurus? It wasn't a very interesting dinosaur (though I am pleased that some folks on /tg/ know what it was actually like).

Now the real question is how the dromaeosaurs are handled. I swear to god, if OP calls the Deinonychus Velociraptors I am going to flip a shit
Pic related, it's a real velociraptor

>>14053761
Assault Rifles? Shotguns? We're fucking maintainence here, noone just hands out guns to a mechanic. Perkins might get something if he asks and waits.

>>14053761

You head along the service roads to the maintenance shed, hitting bumps every so often, with Perkins looking back every once in a while and commenting

"Compy."

As you hit a fork in the road you look ahead and see you're bearing down on a dino.

Make a skill Vehicles check, d100.

>>14053808
see the 2nd part of
>>14053411

>>14053773
Well, since we're stopping by the employee building to pick up more equipment, the northern service road which loops along the northern coast is the shortest route, if we don't want to pass by the tyranosaurus or other predator pens.

rolled 14 = 14

>>14053819
DON'T ROLL THE JEEP.

>>14053847
>14
Oh you fucker. You fucking piece of shit.

>>14053847
You done fucked up. And you gave the DM a suggestion. NEVER DO THAT.

>>14053847

God, now we're GOING to roll the jeep, instead of hitting a tree or hitting the dino.

That thing's about the size of a gazelle, who cares if we hit it?

>>14053847
....Fuck.
Alright, Chair Warmer, how fucked are we?

>>14053847

You attempt to swerve out of the way, but aren't quick enough. The jeep crunches into the dino, catapaulting the two of you out of the jeep. You land in a heap off of the road.

I'm sure you didn't need that spleen anyway.

>>14053944
Well shit. Let's try to get our bearings, get us, and if that dino is still alive, we fucking shoot it.
See if Perkins is okay, and what shape the jeep is in.
And next time we're in the motor pool, we get a covered jeep.

>>14053993
>and if that dino is still alive, we fucking shoot it.

All we have are tranqs. If it's crippled, those aren't gonna go much to put it out of its misery.

>>14054019

I suppose we could shoot a ridiculous amount of the darts into it. I mean, EVENTUALLY we'd get a high enough dosage to kill it.

>>14053993

You get up with a groan and feel around for damage. You've got a nasty cut on your scalp, along with a lot of bruises and aches, but nothing serious. You walk over to the jeep.

The engine section is completely smashed. There's no way you can make this thing work. The dino is still alive, but you can tell that it's mortally wounded.

Perkins landed on the road. His body position is similar to the one pictured. The only difference is that his head and neck is supporting his body, not his hands.

>>14054019
>>14054199
Gentlemen, a word of advice: BASH ITS HEAD IN WITH A ROCK OR SOMETHING

>>14054229

Awww, shit. We're gonna get in trouble for this, aren't we?

>>14054229

...check Perkins vital signs, just in case?

>>14054274

no pulse, his neck is obviously broken.

>>14054289
......Well I say we just take his stuff and bolt.

>>14054305

Bolt where? First, let's get the aprk map out of the jeep's glovebox and try to figure out where we crashed.

Also, management knows we were traveling together, they're gonna ask about him. If they find out we lied about him being dead, there goes our pension.

>>14054325

You crashed at the fork south of the Iguanadon Inn.

>>14054325
we should get everything we can salvage out of the jeep quickly and get a safe distance away - don't want to be around if it goes up in flames / explodes

>>14054349

...which makes the closest place we can go to get help the employee bungalows. Which means we'd have to go by the raptor pens. On foot.

Okay, new idea. Are our radios still intact? Can we call for help?

>>14054438

Your radio is intact.

As you plan your next move, you can hear sounds of movement coming closer. Soon, a compy horde comes out of the trees on the other side of the road and start eating the Hypsy and Perkins.

>>14054476

Okay, we try to call HQ for help. Say we encountered another animal outside of its enclosure; way, WAY outside of its enclosure. It caused a car crash. Perkins is dead. Request assistance ASAP.

>>14054522

"*static* Alright, how's the dino? Where are you?"

>>14054504
/tg/, I am so sorry for rolling. I never throught Perkins would end up dinosaur food.
Get HQ on the radio and run like fuck.

>>14054504

Goddamnit... There's nowhere we can stash Perkins' body right now that they can't get at him again, and there's probably too many for us to chase off.

Are there enough of them to be a threat to us? If not, we at least try to chase them off with a stick or something, and drag Perkins' body out of the middle of the road. We can at least prevent him from getting run over in addition to being eaten.

If there's too many compys, though, we leave him.

>>14054537
Fuck if we know how the dino's doing for all we know it's good for nothing but raptor feed?

Oh, and give them our location.

>>14054537

The dino we head is as good as dead. There's a ton of compys scavenging it now, and it wouldn't survive the wounds anyway.

We report our position as at the fork in the service road south of Iguanadon Inn.

>>14054568

"*static* God dammit, do you know how much that dino was worth?! And what the hell was Perkins doing with you?! You were supposed to pick him up at the maintenance shed."

>>14054566

There's about twenty of the chickens.

>>14054641

Shit. Okay, we need to think up some answers fast, people.

>>14054641
>>14054657

I forget, why ARE we with Perkins again?

And as for the dinosaur, we ask THEM what the hell the dino was doing in the middle of the road, outside of its enclosure, on the far side of the island from where it's supposed to be.

While we're talking, let's load a couple of darts into the gun. We can try picking a couple of compys off from a distance, that might give the others pause and we can make a grab to drag Perkins' body to the side of the road.

>>14054657
too many compys to take on, we should move now while they're occupied.

We may have no choice but to chance passing the raptor pens, the nearest help is the employee bungalows. We could arm ourselves with whatever is in the maintenance shed we would pass en route.

>>14054641
Perkins was driving by and picked us up.

>>14054757

So why wasn't Perkins at the shed? Did he tell us?

Well, I'm of the opinion that we say fuck this place and start looking for a way off of this death island.

>>14054696

You took him along as backup for the windmill fixup.


"*static* I told you, dinos got out. If you hadn't taken your sweet time with those repairs, this wouldn't have happened! You've lost your vacation time this year."

>>14054734
You pick off a couple of compys, but the rest just ignore the ones you shot.

>>14054792

No way we're doing that without a car. We need them to send us a car, because I damn well don't want to WALK to the bungalows, especially not past the raptor pens.

>>14054806
"FUCK YOU! PERKINS IS DEAD! THERE ARE FUCKING MONSTERS RUNNING LOOSE ALL OVER THIS BITCH! ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED? I HOPE A T REX FUCKING EATS ALL OF YOUR ASSES."

>>14054806

Tell him our car is shot. We need a pickup, otherwise we have no way to bring in Perkins' body or the dino's.

Also, how many darts do we have left?

>>14054806
>If you hadn't taken your sweet time with those repairs, this wouldn't have happened! You've lost your vacation time this year.
"You are so full of shit, dispatch. I got that power back up in under an hour; go blame the fuckheads responsible for keeping the backups up to spec. Or the idiots who didn't build the fences into the ground."

>>14054827

Are you joking or do you seriously say that?

>>14054836

x7 Darts.

"*static* Oh for Pete's sake, just leave 'em. The compys can clean it up. Walk your ass over to the maintenance shed and get another jeep. It's an hour of walking, tops."

You start to hear trees creaking, like something is pushing them out of the way.

>>14054840

"Now are you gonna send a car out here or not?"

Pick up Perkin's rifle and ammo and run!

>>14054872
Say it!

Why is everyone in this thread wanting him to act so cool and collected? People are dying left and right, dinosaurs are running loose, the people back at the head office seem ambivalent and don't care.

This place is fucked!

>>14054872
>You start to hear trees creaking, like something is pushing them out of the way.

if it wasn't time to run like hell before, it is now.

>>14054872

"Fuck you, that's my friend lying out there in the middle of the goddamn--"

Turn the radio off as we hear the creaking. We're holding the gun, the radio, an we still have the map. We're wearing the utility belt. I assume the flashlight batteries are in our pocket. There's nothing else of value in the jeep.

Let's quietly but carefully get to the far side of the road from where the creaking is coming from, and put some big trees between us and it. Get low, and get quiet, and start trying to get up the road before whatever it is notices us.

>>14054943

Heading in the direction of the utility shed. It's our best bet at this point, let's pray to god there's a jeep there.

>>14054943

You move over into the foliage on the far side of the road. A large (about 15 ft. long) dino comes out of the trees and makes a beeline for the bodies. It starts chowing down on Perkins, much to the compys chagrin.

"*static* You listen here, you piece of shit! I can bust your ass so far down the rungs you'll be cleaning up dino shit like the compys do. Show me some fucking respect!"

The dinos head snaps up and cocks it's head quizzically in your direction before returning to its meal.

I told you bout the saurs, bro.
Fucked-o-meter is up to a seven. Danger/injury likely. Engage run like hell mode.

>>14054987
"Fuck you, I quit." Grab the rifle and run.

>>14054987

Turn the radio off. Keep moving, as quickly as we can while still staying quiet, keeping parallel to the road while making for the shed.

HQ is unreliable at this point. We can't count on them for support. We need to get to the shed, hope there's another car. If there isn't, we still need to find a place where there are lots of people. People and guns.

>>14054997
I'd put it at a solid 8.5

>>14054987
*le whisper*

There's a 15 fucking foot long dinosaur down hear, and it's eating the motherfucking compys. If you shout, it will motherfucking hear you. Now please, get me the fuck out of here.

>>14055032
Dumbass, we can't rely on them to do shit. We've only got ourselves right now.

I don't get it. How could running over a compy cause us to crash the jeep?

>>14055044
Well, let's give them one more chance before we use the radio as a throwaway distraction.

>>14055044

Agreed. Go with: >>14055027

If we run, it might hear us and chase. Granted, it's already GOT a meal it doesn't have to work fro right in front of it, but let's not take chances.

>>14055059
One more chance?
>The maintenance teams they already know died
>Perkins dying and them not giving a shit
>Us dying?

Fuck that.

>>14055022

The rifle is still with Perkins.

>>14055027

Make a Survival check, closest thing to stealth.

>>14055055
Are you fucking stupid? You moron, we didn't hit a compy, we hit a Hypsilophodon. The compys were just following us.

>>14055055

You ran over compys a couple of times, but those were bumps. You hitting a Hypsy caused the wreck.

>>14055075
>The rifle is still with Perkins.

Well, we still have the darts and the air pistol, right? I mean, we were just using them to shoot compys.

>>14055030
I didn't see the new post. If we get any more attention, it's a 9. 10 is truly fucked.
>>14054987
Shut off the radio. Use cover to sneak off to the shed. Pray for no unwelcome intruders.


>>14054987

>>14055059
>use the radio as a throwaway distraction.

We DEFINITELY don't do that. Turn it off, but keep it. We might need it later, either to contact other staff who AREN'T douchebags, or to contact a chopper, or whatever.

Alright, Survival roll. Maybe we can still get out of this alive.

And the rest of you fuckers are idiots, antagonizing Dispatch. We're on a fucking island, dipshits, and Dispatch and Administration are the ones with access to the Emergency Bunker, Helipad, and to the ships at the dock.
How the fuck do you expect to get off the island, fuckers?

>>14055120

It's called role playing, dude. The character would almost certainly be distraught after crashing, seeing his friend die, seeing his friend get EATEN, and then finding out nobody in management gives a damn if he lives or dies.

A brief moment of anger is natural.

At least you didn't critically fail like me.

>>14055089
where on the island are the hypsy pens? given we're seeing these and herrerasaurus, perhaps we can start to get an idea of which directions the fence holes are in (and go the other way)

Guys, look at the map. The maintenance shed is further away than the Iguanadon Inn. Granted, we'd have to cut through the jungle to get to the inn, but it IS closer.

But didn't we leave a tranqed dilophosaur at the shed? How long til it wakes up?

>>14055157

Don't forget, we ran into the dilo too. The Herra and dilo enclosures are right near the main gate.

But, uh, there ARE not Hypsilophodon enclosures. they're not on the map.

>>14055162

Tranqs will keep them out for hours.

>>14055142

You manage to slip by without notice, though some snapping twigs catches the dinos attention for a second or two.

>>14055162
It's a good 2-3 miles at minimum to get back to the windmill power plant.
The maintenance shed is much closer. Yeah, it's TOWARDS the raptor pens, but if other predators are already loose, I'd rather get a vehicle sooner rather than later, even if the latter route is supposedly safer.

>>14055199
Alright, let's get to the maintenance shed as quickly as possible.
Make sure we've got a tranq dart in the pistol.

>>14055199
>Tranqs will keep them out for hours.

And it's about an hour walk to the shed? Okay, then we keep heading that way. We'll have to cut through the jungle part of the way, but it could be a lot worse.

Wait, does the hour walk mean it'd take an hour along the trail, or in a straight line?

>>14055277

Hour walk along the trail.

>>14055199
Head on to the shed, we do not need to be on foot when the predators get aggressive.

>>14055307
Sounds like we'll take the trail then?

did we already leave perkins' rifle? :\

rolled 62 = 62

>>14055331
>:\

>>14055315

Sounds like the better bet, yeah. Let's not cross through the jungle unless we HAVE to. At least on the road we might be able to see something coming, or wave down another jeep.

>>14055277
...what the fuck?
You thought that the maintenance shed we're heading towards is where we tranqed the dilo? You really fucking need to read what happened then; that incident happened at the southern windmill power plant. That's like 4 miles through compy-infested wilderness.

>>14055331
Yeah, because there's a fucking herresaurus right fucking there.

>>14055370
>>14055315

By the time you reach the maintenance shed, the sun is beginning to set. But you get there with no further problems.

The concrete building is pretty big, and you can see the access to the underground garage is still open.

Okay. So, we keep the air pistol loaded with darts, stick to the road, and make for the maintenance shed.

Primary objective is to obtain a car. Secondary objective is to get to a place where there are lots of people, preferably people who know what they are doing/have guns.

Wait, I know. Does Muldoon still work here? We find wherever the hell HE is. That man is competent, has access to lots of guns, and will be wherever the most level headed people are.

>>14055428

We've still got the flashlight strapped to the air pistol and the two backup batteries, right?

>>14055428
Turn on our head/flood lamp, and turn on the flashlight attached to our pistol.
Make sure a dart is loaded, and go into the garage. Try to find a covered jeep this time.

>>14055428
Prepare pistol and head in looking for a fueled up jeep. Fill it with all the equipment you can find, weapons, med kits, food, radios, everything.

Then lock it down. Methodically search the rooms for dinosaurs. Then we can finally sleep....

>>14055439
>That man is competent, has access to lots of guns, and will be wherever the most level headed people are.
Like I've been saying, we need to try to hook up with a guy from Security, preferably one of the ex-military guys.

>>14055466

Let's hope that headlamp doesn't serve as a neon "Eat at Joe's" sign.

>>14055494

I think we should try to hook up with more than one person. Our survival chances go up in a group, if only because there's more OTHER people for the dinosaurs to chase if things go pear shaped.

The Head Game Warden is, the Chief of Security, we need to find to where those people are. Not only will they have guns and know how to handle their shit, but they will have OTHER people with those qualities around them.

They're also probably gonna know if there are any plans to evacuate, and where to go if there are.

>>14055453

Yep.

>>14055439

Game Warden Muldoon is usually at the Safari Lodge, though with the dinosaurs out it he may be part of the teams rounding them up again.

>>14055466

The garage is lit, so a light is unnecessary. There are two jeeps and one Explorer in the motor pool.

"*static* Porter, have you made it to the Maintenance Building yet?"

>>14055547
Get in the shed, lock everything down, barricade the doors, turn the radio on and listen to what everyone is saying. Switch to different frequencies used on the island if we know any, and learn the situation.

GM: Do we know anyone other that Management's frequency on the radio? Other people on the maintenance crews we might know/trust? The security HQ frequency?

>>14055575
Don't answer. Just listen.

>>14055575
I thought we turned off our radio, because those people are assholes. Don't answer.

>>14055585
>>14055589
>>14055591
Hivemind.

>>14055547
We are fucking taking the Explorer!
Quickly look inside, make sure there's no dinos in the back or side seats, then grab the keys.

We also need to close the garage door; I don't like it open with so many dinos loose, especially this close to the raptor pens.

>>14055575

"Yes. I just arrived. What's the situation out there?"

Try to keep our tempers. We need information. Let's take the explorer, it looks safer than the jeeps.

Important thing to check! How much gas is in the explorer, and are there any spare gascans?

I say we mess with Dispatch.

"Ohshitohshitohshit! Fuck Dispatch, I told you we needed emergency failsafes on the raptor pens! I just fucking saw a fucking raptor! Fuck! I locked myself in the maintenance building, but fuck!"
Let's see if that'll light a fire under Dispatch's ass.

>>14055650

No offense, but that sounds like a terrible fucking idea.

>>14055638
Yeah, we need to check that the Explorer is fully gassed up and we have spare gas, but I think we should lock down the building first.
We need to make sure that there are no dinos in here with us.

>>14055589

There's a Maintenance frequency that you know, but that's it. Policy was to let Management know of anything going on, who would then decide whether or not aid was needed.

>>14055607

Why would there be dinos in the car, you think. Such a silly thought....You check anyway. There aren't any, and the keys are in the ignition.

"*static* Porter dammit, answer me!"

>>14055670

The Explorers run on electric power. they have batteries, not gas.

>>14055670

Okay, fair enough. We lock the building down, then check the gas situation.

Do we answer the radio and try to get info out of them, or do we just leave it? I know we're pissed at Dispatch, but we might be able to get some useful info out of them if we play our cards right.

>>14055680
SAY. NOTHING. We're seriously on our own for now. Lock up this shed and keep quiet. We're going to stay here tonight and head out in the morning.

>>14055680
Grab the keys.
Get inside, lock the doors, THEN we answer.
"Disptach, this is Porter. I just turned my radio back on, there were more dilo's and herre's than I've got tranq darts.
"I'm in the Maintenance building now."

>>14055680
Keep quiet. Just keep listening. Change to any frequencies we know to see if we hear anything else.

>>14055680
Everything's gone to shit, captain. I have good reason to suspect all the dinosaurs have gotten loose. We need to gather supplies and regroup!

>>14055680
That radio's going to attract dinos, I just know it.

>>14055710
What the fuck are we going to do? Anyone else sees us, they're going to report us to Dispatch.
There's no way to get off the island.
And as far as we know, Muldoon and Security, who are our best shots at survival, are still loyal to Dispatch and Management.

>>14055710

Hey, we don't have to actually do anything they say. We might still be able to glean something useful from what they say, though.

I say we answer, but play it cautiously. Try to pump Dispatch for info without making it obvious that's what we're doing. Be polite, even apologetic if we have to.

>>14055730

If we lock down the garage, it probably won't be loud enough for dinos to hear it through the walls.

Continue locking the place down as we try to decide to answer or not.

>>14055680
I was under the impression that the Explorers would only run on the tour track. If that's not the case, check to make sure the charge is full.

"Porter to Dispatch. I'm at the maintenance shed now. Listen, you need to get a containment team down to that crashed Jeep right away, we've got a predatory dino on the loose."

Then give them a description of the dino so they can identify it.

>>14055755
That's why we keep quiet and listen until we know more.

>>14055794
You know, the buildings have security cameras, don't you?
That's one of the things that Nedry shutdown first in the movie.
So, did you ever think that maybe Dispatch is yelling at us, because they can fucking SEE us on their cameras as we move about the maintenance building?

>>14055792

The incident with the consultants being stranded in the storm a year back prompted a decision to move to an independent power source.

You decide to lock down for the night and keep quiet. You close the garage door, and lock it for good measure.

"*static* Dammit, Porter, where are you." The next bit is faint and you can barely make it out. "He's either not answering or something got him....Alright, I'll keep trying."

Maintenance frequency is a constant chatter. Teams are working repairing breaches in fencing and other power glitches. Every once in a while discussion is punctuated by a loud curse and the exclamation of a dino species.

>>14055853
Let's wait until morning and see what we hear. Depending on what the radio sounds like, we'll have to decide how to answer or not.

If it seems like shit is under control, we radio in saying we were chased through the jungle and slept in a tree, and just found our way to this place.

>>14055853
Continue monitoring the maintenance channel.
If they're able to get everything under control, make sure that we go into the woods early in the morning and mess up our clothes, putting mud and rubbing bark and leaves on our clothing and in our hair, and quickly drying everything.
We check in, saying we had to hide out in the forest for the night because we were being chased by a predatory dino, maybe a herresaurus, and we had the radio off for safety.

>>14055917

Sounds like a plan. If they get their shit together, maybe we can help start getting the perimeter back up, but we need more concrete evidence that said shit has been gotten together.

Regardless, after this is over, we're findign a new goddamn job.

Alright, you decide to lay low for the night. You staying in the garage or heading into the building proper?

>>14055917
"Why didn't you answer on your radio?"
"Are you kidding? I was hiding from dinosaurs in a fucking tree. I wasn't going to keep my radio on and lead a bunch of raptors right to me."

>>14056032
There's more to this bunker that we haven't already checked?

>>14056043

You've just stuck to the garage, there's a building on top of the garage.

>>14056032
I think it safer if we sleep inside the Explorer, with all of the doors locked and the windows up.
It won't be comfortable, but at least we'll be inside of a vehicle that we can use to ram any dino small enough to fit inside of the building.
Besides, it'll help us hide if a search team with security high enough to override our lockdown comes around.

>>14056032
>>14056043

It's night. some of the predatory dinos, like the raptors, are more active at night. I say we lock all the doors to the garage, get into the car, lock all the doors to the car, and hunker down.

If anything gets through those doors, we'll hear it, and we'll already be in the car.

Of course, the trick will be opening the garage door at that point, but we'd still be relatively safe in the car til we figured that out.

Let's check out the rest of the building, but keep our radio hidden.

We can check out the rest of the building in the morning.

After locking yourself up in the Explorer, you fall asleep. Later, you're awoken by a raoring sound, but not like a dinosaur roaring, like the wind roaring.

Gotta agree with sitting still for a while. Shit gets creepy at night and the last thing we need is to get freaked out by a noise and run off and get our asses lost.

>>14056148
Wind?
Fuck, is it the monsoon season?
....oh shit...the windmills!
Turn our radio on, and check the maintenance channels, see if power is still working and the fences are holding.

>>14056148
Wind roaring? Look hesitantly out the window of the Explorer to assure that the building is still intact. Then, possibly, get out of the vehicle and look out the windows of the building.

>>14056210

Building's intact. But there aren't any windows, you're currently underground. You also didn't see any windows when approaching the structure.

>>14056253
I still say we should check the maintenance radio channels.
If nothing on them, then we'll have to go up into the rest of the building and see if we can access the park's computer network and see what's happening.

>>14056274

Agreed. Check the radio first.

>>14056274

Turning on the radio yields a frightened conversation. Everyone's hunkered down in a building. The management frequency is a repeating message warning of a waterspout in the vicinity of the island.

>>14056288
Try to discern the status of the park's systems, of the containment of the dinos and of the status of the perimeter fences.
If none of that comes up, I say we chance going up into the rest of the building and checking the status of the fences.
If the power goes down, the dinos will get loose, including the raptors.
As much as we hate Dispatch, if that happens, we're all dead. We need to prevent that as much as possible.

>>14056288

Oh Christ. Well, we're underground. I assume the garage itself has solid concrete floors and ceilings? If so, we're in an ideal place to weather the storm.

I say we stay in the garage, but do a quick perimeter check of the doors; animals will be seeking to escape the storm, and it's always possible some of the smaller-medium predators might try to force their way through a door.

>>14056370

Even if the circumstances ARE dire, what can we do about it? Walking or driving out there at night in the middle of a raging storm with dinos on the loose is a bad, bad idea.

We should stay put.

>>14056370

None of the Maintenance crew seems to know about park status. If they do, they aren't talking about it.

>>14056372

Upstairs, the door has blown open, but the building seems intact. Blowing wind and rain come in through the door. There's a desk with a computer near the front of the room. Storage and sleeping bunks are all over the place. Compys are all over the place, with a particular concentration of them over on top of a bunk.

>>14056398
The maintenance building might have a connection to the central control system; we might be able to reroute power or something.
This building might also have an armoury we could use to arm ourselves.

Finally, if worst comes to worst, we can radio the others, saying that we finally shook of predator dino pursuit and took shelter in the maintenance building, and noticed problems with the fences.
At least, if they know to expect trouble, Security might be able to keep the situation under control.

>>14056398
>Walking or driving out there at night in the middle of a raging storm with dinos on the loose is a bad, bad idea.

I think we could all learn a very important lesson from a certain Mr. Nedry in regards to this situation.

let's draw the tranq pistol and take a look on top of that bunk.

>>14056444
Bastard compys are probably eating someone. I'd say that we should kill them all, but, well, would probably be impractical.

>>14056444
Fucking compys....
Make sure the door to the garage is closed; we don't want to allow any of the compys out of this room.
Let's close the door and lock it; prevent anything bigger from coming in.

Then I say we lock the compys here, build a flamethrower with anything we can grad down in the garage, and then burn them all.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy to put out the flames and prevent the structure from catching fire.

>>14056444
>Compys are all over the place, with a particular concentration of them over on top of a bunk.

Oh, nothing about that sounds even REMOTELY good.

>>14056468

Mr. Nedry's employment was terminated around 1 year ago, due to accusations of corporate espionage. Rumor has it that he works for Biosyn now, quite high up in their IT Dep.

>>14056472

It's a body. The compys either ignore you and keep feasting or clear away from you. From the body's position, they got him while he was sleeping, and the drugs from their bite kept him sedated.

Don't antagonize the compys too much. They can be dangerous in large groups.

Let's close and lock the door that blew open, then cautiously investigate the bunk, with the pistol at the read. If we see anything we can use as a club, pick that up too. Be prepared to make a break for the door back to the garage level if we need too.

>>14056522

Damn. If we had only searched up here earlier, they might still be alive, whoever they are...

There's nothing we can do for them now, though. Let's just keep doing what we came up here to do.

You realize you recognize the guy, he was the head of maintenance for the island.

>>14056522
Close the outer door and seal it.
Work fast on the computer, see if it shows the status on the perimeter fences or of the power plants.
We spend as little time here as possible, and we seal the compys in here.
Make sure none get into the garage.

>>14056570

Oh son of a bitch, now you're just fucking with us. What the hell was he doing all the way out here?

You make sure to close the door leading into the garage. You have a look at the computer and swipe your card in the reader. But your clearance isn't high enough to view data on island integrity. The only thing you have is a job list of outstanding work orders.

>>14056582

This is the Maintenance HQ.

>>14056570
If he's head of maintenance, see if we can find his keycard, maybe scare off the compys with the flamethrower if we have to. also look for a computer to check the park status and see where the other survivors are.

Okay, we have a responsibility. The rest of the island probably has no idea what happened to this guy, and he was probably directing all the maintenance efforts.

We need to clear out the compys, get on the radio, and get the word out that he's dead so the people in charge can re-assess the situation. Dispatch may be dicks, but there are a lot of live son the line here. Not just the staff, but all the innocent park guests out there.

>>14056614
Check for the Maintenance Chief's access card. Use it on the computer and try to get a status report on the park. Either way, we'll need it.

>>14056676
Sure, we'll do that, but we'll need to go down to the garage to put together a flamethrower, if we can, at least.

You return to the body and push the compys off, they squeal in protest, but do nothing. After searching him, you find a pack (x6) of tranq darts and a Yellow ID Card.

>>14056706

What is it with you and the flame thrower? I know we're a skilled mechanic, but do you really want to rely on a slapped together weapon that could be just as dangerous to us as to the dinosaurs, and has a finite fuel supply?

Plus if we start a forest fire, that is NOT going to help matters.

>>14056743

Okay, we'll try the card on the computer in a minute. First, we need to figure out a way to get rid of all these damn compys.

I don't want one nipping our ankle while we work at the computer, and injecting us with that damn sedative poison.

>>14056799
If there's a big rainstorm out, we're probably not in too much danger of burning the island down. not to mention, a reliable flamethrower has a lot more intimidation value for scaring off predators than our little air pistol.

>>14056743
>>14056799
>>14056827
While we're trying the card, we should definitely keep our peripheral vision on the compies.

>>14056799
It's because it's the only general area-effect weapon with a thing that even dinos should be afraid of: fire.

>>14056827
I agree. Maybe we can put on extra layers of clothing? Either that, or maybe cover ourselves in something that the compys would find distasteful, such as fire extinguisher chemicals or motor oil.

Or, we could open that door back up and try to trick/intimidate the compys to go back outside.

Just how many are there?

>>14056906
>trick/intimidate the compys to go back outside.
Into a raging storm, when they've already tasted man-flesh?
I think you overestimate our chances.

>>14056906

Looks like there are around twenty, twentyfive.

>>14056934

Well... We could always take our boss's body and place it outside the door, and hope they go where the chow is.

Of course, that means there's a big chunk of meat on the doorstep, which could attract larger predators.

>>14056936
Be quiet. No sudden movements. Let them go back to eating the dead guy. They get free food, and we don't get to be food.

Try the card, but keep your eyes flitting back and forth between the computer and the compies while you do. Then, when you're done checking the park's status, go back downstairs, and try to high heavens to not catch a compy in the door. The last thing we need right now is a screaming lizard drawing all their attention over to us.

>>14056969

We don't know how long this will take. We need to contact Dispatch, not just check the park's status. This is bigger than us. We owe it to the rest of the staff, the rest of the maintenance crew. We owe it to Perkins.

We might be here all night, and we can't have those damn lizards causing hovering behind us the whole time. We need to get rid of them.

While keeping an eye on the compys, you swipe the Maintenance Head's card. He does have access to park integrity maps. The maps show that none of the power stations are damaged, but the electric fences around some pens have holes in them.

The pens are:
- Dilophosaur
- Brachiosaurus
- Parasaurolophus


In addition, doppler radar images place the tornados current position at the eastern end of the Brachiosaurus/Parasaurolophus pens. The tornado is bearing west/northwest.

>>14057079
Then damn, let's swipe that card, and get dispatch on the horn so we can give them a play-by-play.

Just keep an eye on the bitey little asses.

>>14057106

Damn. Well, there's nothing we can do about the tornado. But this doesn't explain everything. Where'd the Herrersaurus come from if there's no holes in THEIR enclosure? And where's the Hyspidont come from when they don't even HAVE an enclosure?

Still, if the Brachiosaurs and the Paras get out, that's not too bad. At least they won't try to actively eat people.

Unfortunately, West/Northwest means... it's heading in our general direction. And also in the direction of the Raptor pens.

That's not all bad, though. The garage will make a good tornado shelter, and the raptor pen is small enough that maybe the tornado will just suck all those bastards skywards.

We need to get on the hook to Dispatch, tell them were the fence breaks are right now, and where it looks like the tornado is likely to cause more. Also, we need tot ell them the Head of Maintenance is dead. What was his name?

>>14057243

Those could've been patched up by maintenance crews before the storm. And that should've been East/Northeast. Woops.

>>14057243

Daniel Ryan was the HM's name.

>>14057272
>East/Northeast.

Oh shit. That's right into the main raptor enclosure. And then into the T-Rex paddock. Oh SHIT. Might even nick the aviary.

Still, what can we do from here? I somehow doubt HQ can't monitor the storm progress. That doesn't really seem like something Maintenance would be in charge of.

Is there ANYTHING useful we can do from this computer?

>>14057347

You could add new work orders for the fences to be fixed.

Alright, only 1 of the damaged pens contains predators, so it's not a...
Oh crap.
That tornado is going towards the Tyranasaurus pens.

Here's my suggestion: We get on the Maintenance channel, say that we escaped from some predator dinos and finally made it to the safety of the Maintenance Building, where we found the compys had killed and are eating Ryan.
We checked the computer, and the tornado is heading towards the tyrano pen.
This way the message will get spread without Dispatch clamping down on it, and maybe Security can be warned about it.

>>14057347
>anything useful we can do from this computer

Good question. Most infrastructure has an inter-sector communication system, usually similar to instant messaging or noting service. Does this computer have anything like that?

>>14057363
Let's put in the work orders, then seal ourselves down in the garage.
Come morning, we'll go ahead with our previous plan, and include finding Daniel Ryan killed and eaten by compys, and we barricaded ourselves down in the garage.

>>14057372

Nope. Why spring for the software when radios work just fine?

>>14057363

Well, send out orders to repair the Dilophosaur fences. the animals will probably be hunkered down too, in this storm. Is there a way to indicate the orders should not begin til the storm starts to clear?

And is there a way to sen out orders to keep an eye on the T-Rex and Raptor fences?

Wait, I know. What other repair orders are currently active? Are there any non-essential ones we can tell people to stop wasting their time with? We'll need the most people on the enclosure fence repairs.

>>14057417

Currently, no work orders are active. Everyone is taking cover from the tornado.

>>14057452

Hmm. Is there a listing of orders slated to become active in the near future or anything?

At this point the main problem seems the be the Dilo fence hole, and the impending T-Rex and Raptor fence damage. The Brachs and the Paras can take care of themselves just fine.

We should at least get on the hook with Dispatch, tell them Ryan is dead, and that we're in control of Maintenance HQ. If they ask what took us so long, tell them we were chased by a Herrerasaur.

And we still need to deal with the twenty or so compys behind us.

>>14057452
Well, they might just think it's a glitch if old work orders pop up again, so, let's radio them. See what their situation is.

>>14057519

"*static* We're well aware of the breaches,, both current and future. Thanks for letting us know about Ryan though, we'll have a new HM out there once the storm abates. How did you manage to get away from the Herrerasaur?"

>>14057546

Damn. Useful as ever, aren't they. Tell them it was luck, it got distracted by another dead body. After that, say you have a compy problem to deal with and switch of the radio.

>>14057571

You click of the radio with a small sense of smug satisfaction. Your watch puts it around 2 AM.

>>14057610

There's nothing more to do up here. Quickly scavenge the room for any useful supplies, taking care not to disturb the compys, then head back down the Explorer after making sure the garage is still secure and the door is locked behind you. Bring any useful supplies along. After that, get back into the car and try to sleep for a few hours and recover your energy.

>>14057610
Seal ourselves in the garage until a security team can get out here.
Then when we're sure the garage is clear, get inside the explorer and make that THAT'S clear of compys.
Finally, we can get some sleep.
Fucking compys. Dream of roasting them all with a flamethrower.

>>14057657

They'll seem like small potatoes once the Rex gets loose. I wonder what Muldoon's plan for that is, our how the tourists are faring.

>>14057656

There's a lot of tools around, but nothing much else. Though you manage to find seven more darts, putting your total at an even twenty.

You leave the compys to their meal. head to the Explorer and get some more sleep.

The alarm on your watch chirps, it's around 8 in the morning now.

How long's it been since we last ate? Need to keep an eye out for food. Head upstairs, listening for anything unusual. Stop at the door to the next floor, straining to hear any indication of saurian presence.

>>14057727
Turn on the radio to the Maintenance frequency, try to see what's going on. See if the situation has been brought under control, or more likely, all Hell has broken loose, and the raptors.

>>14057753
You last ate lunch before you went to fix the windmills.

>>14057760

Maintenance is kinda lost without their Head, Management is having trouble trying to coordinate them. But some repairs to the Dilophosaur pen are underway.

>>14057803
Call on the Maintenance frequency, see if a new Head has been assigned.
Also, carefully exit the Explorer, make sure that the garage is still secure, and then I say we see if any welding equipment is still around.
We can try to make a gas-flamethrower.

>>14057803

Wait a second, I have an idea. The head of maintenance had to have access to some of the other radio channels, right? Probably too many to memorize. We should A) go see if he has them written down anywhere on what's left of him after the compy's finished and if that's a bust we B) use his clearance to see if that info is anywhere on the computer system.

At the very least, there should be general frequencies for all maintenance staff. We could get in touch with any of our fellow mechanic buddies. And, given how tight-lipped Dispatch has been, the maintenance crews probably don't know the true scope of the situation. We could fill them in, posing as Ryan. They probably don't know he's dead yet.

>>14057888

Enough with the goddamn flamethrower. We're as likely to immolate ourselves as the dinosaurs.

>>14057903

You can't find frequencies written down anywhere, and the only info you can find on his account is a correspondence between him and a "Mr. Goodbytes".

Maintenance does have a general channel, it's the one you've been listening to. It's how you know they're fixing the dilophosaur pen.

So, is the storm over?

>>14057974

Yeah, the storm is over and the day is calm and sunny.

>>14057964

...what does the correspondence with "Mr. Goodbytes" say?

>>14057964
Investigate! Go through the whole correspondence from the beginning!

>>14057923
And how do you propose to fend off a pack of compys? Stun prods? Our tranq dart gun? Hope that we can outrun them?
And what if we end up going up against a bigger dino?

>>14058004

It appears to be a correspondence between a D. Nedry and Daniel Ryan. Nedry makes mention that BioSyn has developed it's own cloned dinosaurs and made a zoo for them in Jamaica. Nedry talks about how a "Lewis Dodgson" wants the competition for the zoo taken out. Nedry then goes on to offer Ryan a position at the new park, with a substantially upgraded salary and benefits, if he orchestrates this. The rest of the correspondence is haggling and the minutiae of the deal.

>>14058062

Holy shit. Is there any detail on what "taking out the competition" entailed?

>>14058073

They wanted Jurassic Park shut down.

>>14058062
Holy fuck!
See what it is that Ryan was supposed to do.
If we can work it out, I say we broadcast it out over the open Maintenance channel, and everybody free goes and fixes whatever he sabotaged.

>>14058117

But there's no indication what Ryan might have done to accomplish this?

>>14058047
Chair. Seriously. Or anything relatively heavy and as long as our arm. Hell, if it came to it, we could grab one and snap its tiny neck. They're only about a foot tall.

Flamethrowers aren't that good against big targets anyway. Especially non-flammable ones, like dinosaurs. What you're thinking of is a liquid accelerant flame-thrower that sticks when it hits something.

What we need is a shotgun.

>>14058117
We need to find out how he planned to do it.

Also, where the fuck are the compys? Are they still here in Ryan's room?

>>14058117
How? Just a plain, "cut the power and let it sort itself out," kinda deal?

>>14058144
No, we need something to keep the things away. They hunt in packs, they're fast, and they have a sedative neurotoxin in their bite.
They get a bite in, it's all over.
We need to prevent them from getting close enough to bite us.
Remember that they can bite through thick power cables; clothing will be no problem to them.

Should we consider advising people via radio what Ryan was up to? Seems like knowing that it was espionage might help coordinate things.

Compys are gathered near the door, Ryan's a skeleton with a few hunks of meat left.

The correspondence doesn't mention a specific method of causing Jurassic Park to fail. Nedry told Ryan to use whatever methods he thought best.

>>14058144
Whoops. Meant to specify gas flamethrowers.

Odds are, if we contact Dispatch, they'll just get really pissed we were snooping through a supervisor's private correspondence without clearance. They won't believe us, not without more proof.

At least, the guys manning the radios won't. If we could somehow get to somebody higher up the chain of command, we might have a chance.

Let's check what damage the tornado did. Which enclosures are now down?

>>14058181
I say we open the door, let the compys out, then close the door and seal it while we try to figure out what's going on.
If we can't figure it out in 10 minutes of rooting through his stuff, then we should broadcast it.
We need everyone to be ready to respond to something; I'm guessing massive power failure, massive computer failure, or the raptor and t-rex pens being compromised.

>>14058217
That's true, but we could do it via the Maintenance channel.
Anyway I agree, let's try and find out as much of what's happened overnight as possible.

>>14058167
Then why don't we make it a non-issue and just keep our distance?

Besides, to build a gas flamethrower, we'd need more than just a welding torch. Oxyacetaline would go a long way, but we'd still need something to keep it from being cumbersome, a specialized nozzle to focus the spray and get more than a couple feet of range. Sure, we'd only need a few feet to spook them out of the room, but if you're wanting to use it as an actual weapon, we need as much range as we can get.

>>14058217

The Dilophosaur enclosure is sealed, but undergoing repairs, so the fences aren't online yet. It's a bunch of people keeping them out.

The Velociraptor pens are compromised, as are the Tyrannosaurus Rex pens.

>>14058229

You open the door and the compys stream out. There is also a savaged corpse at the doorway. Scratch marks and blood cover the door.

>>14058259

This is in addition to the other two pens, the Brachiosaurus and the Parasaurolophus.

>>14058259
LOOT AND PILLAGE!

...

Ahem. Check its(His? Her?) pockets for ID and access cards, as well as weapons, ammunition, etc.

>>14058259
MotherFUCKER.
Great, let's wait for the Compies to calm down and check the body for anything useful.

You find a Yellow Access Card, along with some papers ordering him here to take up HM duties. Oh hey, it's the replacement they said they were going to send.

>>14058259
>There is also a savaged corpse at the doorway. Scratch marks and blood cover the door.
Shit, looks like we ended up locking someone out and a predator got at them.

>Velociraptor pens are compromised, as are the Tyrannosaurus Rex pens.
.....Oh fuck.
Is this from the Maintenance channel, or from our access to the computer?
If no one else knows about it, double-check that we sealed the doors to the building, and then get on the radio, warning everyone that the raptors and t-rex pens are compromised.

>>14058343
Fucking get back inside, seal the door, and get on the radio.
"Fuck, this is Porter! That new HM that got sent over is dead! I just found his body now, and I'm sealing myself in the Maintenance Building! There's dangerous predator dinos loose!"

>>14058384

That was from the computer. And the building is sealed.

>>14058384
Let's warn them of that, also that the replacement HM never made it here.

>>14058404
You realize if we don't go and find adventure adventure is going to end up finding us.
Still, probably wise, at least this way we can be prepared for it.

>>14058416
Warn Management or Maintenance?

>>14058439
Can we put both of them on at once and just tell them that he didn't make it since you had the security door sealed and didn't feel like staying up with a crowd of bitey little lizards?

If not, just get on with maintenance. It'll be more pertinent to them.

>>14058485
I say Maintenance. Either one of them will tell Dispatch, who will tell Security and Muldoon, or one of Maintenance will them directly.
Either way, all us repair guys need to know that we have to be on the alert now.

>>14058062
Is there some sort of data device available that we could save this incriminating evidence to for later?

>>14058485

Since you can't do both, you decide to warn Maintenance.

When you warn them, Management comes on and says that the situation is under control. This appeases some, but others don't buy it.

"*static* Porter, where did you hear that the Velociraptor and Tyrannosaur pens were compromised?"

Is this thread autosaging yet? If it is, we should try to archive it ASAP.

>>14058544
tell them that you wanted to check the island integrity and you used the yellow level security card

>>14058544
Just tell them that Ryan left his computer on before he died, and its showing the park status. This would also probably be a good time to tell them about his role as a saboteur. I mean, what's management gonna do, send a security team to arrest us?

>>14058577
Seems believable enough.

>>14058577
>Just tell them that Ryan left his computer on before he died, and its showing the park status.
Sure, this is good enough.

> what's management gonna do, send a security team to arrest us?
They'll probably try, and the security team will get eaten. Maybe Management will finally take this seriously, then.
At least, Muldoon will.

>>14058646
wouldn't muldoon be at the raptor fences with a chair and a whip trying to keep them in some form of order by now?

>>14058577

"*static* Where is the replacement we sent. Why didn't he stop you? And what makes you think Ryan was a saboteur?

>>14058662
>Where is the replacement we sent.
"Look, Management, he's fucking dead. I told you, I found his body outside; he didn't make to the building, and I've locked myself in here in case there's still raptors around."

>And what makes you think Ryan was a saboteur?
"He apparently wasn't expecting anyone to come by. He left all of his emails open; he's been working with Nedry and BioSyn."

>>14058662
"Didn't you fucking hear me say that HE GOT EATEN? And are you seriously telling me that you think he SHOULD have stopped me from finding out just what is loose out there?"

>>14058662
"The replacement got eaten because I had the security door sealed. I'd wager he didn't stop me because he was too dead to do it. Checked his personal chat logs when I used his card to look at island integrity.

Anything else?"

>>14058721

"*static* We're going to need more proof than your word to take that seriously. And where did you find the replacement's body?"

>>14058768
"You need more proof than- Management, that's just great. Why don't you just stroll on over here and look over the evidence yourself? I'm not going to hide it. Be sure to knock, there are raptors outside and I've locked the door."

>>14058742

"*static* We don't need the workers panicking, we need to be calm if we're going to save the park."

>>14058755

"*static* So you're telling me that you locked our replacement out and then willfully hacked into his predecessor's account to discover information you're not cleared to know?"

>>14058768
"Listen for five seconds, wouldja? Outside the security door. And if you want my word, forgiving how much of an ass I'm being by saying this, you'll have to come fucking get it because I'm sure as hell not braving the forest to bring it to you."

>>14058768
"I found it a couple of feet away from the door. With all the blood around, it looks like he was being chased down.
"I kept the door closed, but his access card would have opened it. Fuck, I know it's cold to say it, but I'm glad he didn't get a chance to open it. If he did, whatever killed him would have gotten in and eaten me, too.
"As for the evidence, I got all the emails here on Ryan's PC."

>>14058768
Flash drive, flash drive, gotta find a flash drive, copy the emails onto that. That'll give 'em proof.

>>14058815
"Locked the door to keep the storm out. Common sense on that one. Didn't hack shit, just grabbed a card off a corpse and ran it through."

>>14058755
Why the FUCK did you just tell them we left a man to die outside?

>>14058834
no flash drives in 1995

>>14058845
Because it's the truth and it illustrates a point that if they're sending a replacement they need to phone ahead to make sure he doesn't get locked out. Or, maybe, send a key with him so he can get inside on his own.

>>14058815
Why did you use the first response? Are you stupid? No one else wanted to tell them that we locked him out and that we "hacked" into the emails.

>>14058815
"Management, if you're somehow trying to convince me that I'm in trouble, stop. I'm not going to be intimidated by some kind of vague implications of legal threats when there are dinosaurs actively trying to eat me. The whole damned park is going down in a gigantic negligence and incompetence suit after this one anyway, so I'm pretty sure I don't have shit to be worried about except the critters with teeth."

"Goddamnit Management, get your heads out of your asses for once and listen. The raptors are loose. Nedry's conspiring against InGen....again. The information is in Ryan's personal e-mails, which the fool was stupid enough to leave open, along with the Island's integrity reports, before the compys made a meal out of him. The replacement HM was eaten right outside the building because I locked the damn thing down and then locked myself in the garage, could'nt hear a thing going on outside. Maybe if you people had been on the ball you wouldn't have lost yet another man. Demote me if you want, but at least my incompetence hasn't killed a bunch of innocent people. And in the immortal words of Guillermo Díaz, aka Scarface from Half-baked....Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, peace, I'm out."

>>14058856
A floppy disk or CD, then. Anything that can save data.

let's save the data if we can and keep the copy on our person and let's peek through a window or something and assess the outside conditions for any immediate threats.

>>14058893

There's a bunch of floppies around, and it's an easy matter to save copies of the emails to disk.

>>14058885
>>14058867

"*static*....As of right now, your employment with InGen is terminated. Once order has been restored to the park, you will be escorted off the premises."

I'm out for the night guys, see you tomorrow.

>>14058947
Fine. Time to launch Radio Free Park, wherein we will use our own radio to tell everyone on the maintenance channel everything that the computers here can monitor successfully.

And if anyone comes to stop us, they're attempting to get our friends killed and we'll shoot them as murderous bastards.

>>14058947
Look man, why did you choose the two posts that were obviously part of the minority?
Your action selection is all over the place.
Sometimes you go with the first post, other times, I can't make sense of why you choose some of this shit.

>>14058867
>>14058885
As for you two shits, thanks for not only getting us canned, but making us the lowest priority in rescue. Hell, they might even try to kill us, or intentionally allow the raptors to get to us, to cover all of this up.

>>14058947

Time to grab our SKS and go inna woods.

/k/ skillz to da rescue!

>>14059011
>Time to grab our SKS and go inna woods.
Oh, like THAT worked out so well for Muldoon.

>>14059005

Apologies for my inconsistency, I've never run a quest before, this is a bit daunting for me.

>>14059025
Easy solution....make everyone roll with their answer, pick the highest (or lowest) after a set amount of time

But for now, just retcon the hell out of it to the more sane responses, and ignore the guys who are intentionally trying to piss off the higher-ups.

>>14059039

Muldoon did'nt have an SKS or /k/ skillz

>>14059039
Well you really fumbled it here. You should hand the reins of to someone else.

>>14059039
Look, I understand that it's hard, and I appreciate your hard work.

But, just like being any DM, you gotta be consistent. Just in case you've never run a quest before or are unfamiliar with how ones are usually run:
There's a couple different ways that /tg/ has come up with to run quests:
Lego-style: roll dice (2d6 or 1d12), highest number wins. People vote by linking their posts to the suggestion they want to happen, and adding their dice to the roll.

First Post, First Served: Real simple. First post determines what happens.

Consensus: Give people time (15 min or so), gather up voted actions and try to go with the consensus. Also helps if you post when voting is closed, and that you're working on the next bit of text if it's going to be long.

>>14059073

Like was said, I could just retcon it next thread. I think I'll just go for the majority opinion after a set amount of time. I'd like to be able to continue this, I'm having a lot of fun.

But if you guys feel I should be replaced, then I can't argue with that.

>>14059121
Well, this is really your only first major stumble. Everything previous was just /tg/ arguing with itself as is usual, or the diceroller.

I think you're doing an okay job so far. Just lay out what method you're going to use, so everyone knows, and it'll go a lot smoother, I think.

>>14059121
You're doing pretty well for the most part, but you have to start going with a consensus first.

For instance: Saying that we locked him out and accessed his data. A minority said to do that. Majority said just to say we found him outside dead, and that Ryan had left his computer on.

>>14059147
>>14059145

Alright, I'll do that. Thanks for being so understanding. I'm gonna go get some sleep. See everyone tomorrow.

>>14059192
No problem, man. You're doing great. Only quest I ever cared about.

Afterthought: I'd appreciate it if someone could archive this.

Now I'm really going to bed this time.

>>14059363
Don't worry, already done.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/14049516/

Everyone, remember to vote!

Despite some rather dumb decisions, this is a fuck-awesome game. Also, great retcon!
