Your known abilities are:
- reinforcing your muscle and bone tissue, making you several times stronger,faster and tougher
- growing weapons from your arms, limited to one on each arm in any combination:a hooked, double edged blade on your forearm, claws, a spike that springs out from your wrist underneath your palm or launchable bone spikes
- hardening your skin into thick,segmented bone plate armor resistant to heat and energy weapons, and growing a membrane under your skin, that contains fluid that hardens on impact
- absorbing ingested organic material, that you can use to increase muscle and bone density(animal tissue is the most effective)
- the ability to call forth your host's memories, skills and knowledge
- altering your appearance, includin skin\hair\eye colour, facial features, height, build, and gender, though the more elaborate the change is, the more time and effort it takes.
- producing almost any kind of drug,poison or acid in liquid form, including sedatives, that you can deliver either at high pressure from an opening that can be created anywhere on your body, or through the wristspike.
- emitting pheromones that influence humans
- sensing the mind-link of bodysnatchers
- enhanced senses, capable of switching to different spectrums (infravision, ultrasound, noise filtering, etc.)
- fiber-optic nervous system, allowing you to ignore pain to some extent, and speeding up your reflexes by orders of magnitude
- a pair of leathery wings growing from your shoulder blades, with a bio-fuel fed jet system underneath it, allowing you extremely fast aerial movement
- superhuman sense of balance
- four combat tentacles

The moon's pale rays reflect from the armour of the Leader standing to your left, it's tentacles nervously twitching, swaying back and forth like a snake's tongue. The silvery light makes the patterns on the bone look black, drained of their colour, barbed spirals running across it's body. The pair of Warriors hiss and growl, crouching low, ready to charge you at a moment's notice. The four Infiltrators nervously grasp their rifles in the white van blocking your exit, and the sound of a dozen weapons being readied can be heard from the houses around you.

You stand there, fists clenched tight, the seconds going by, bringing more and more tension into the air. You realise something. They are afraid of you. The hands grasping the matt black stocks tremble, the mind-link showing you the icy terror radiating from them. Thunder rumbles, far to the south, and they almost spring into action, stopping when they realise you haven't moved an inch.

Wat do?

Cool, caught your quest just as you were getting going today.

Well, we're here to fight aren't we? But we want the Overseer. These guys are just in the way.

Would our pheremones work on them?

>>15759634
Nope.
>- emitting pheromones that influence humans
Emphasis on the second part.

Another slow night, yay.

>>15759425
If I remember correctly, our armor is capable of stopping bullets. Unless they have some really big guns (or armor piercing rounds) we shouldn't bother with infiltrators.
Let's kill the Leader first. We don't want to get hit with sonic wibrator in the worst moment possible. Use our jets to close in and finish him off quickly.

Are we rolling?

>>15759880
Yes please, combat and situations where there is risk involved require a roll. Though I will try and say when they are necessary.

rolled 45 = 45

>>15759901
Okay, so I roll for>>15759880.

>>15759954
No one else? Again?

I wonder if the Overseer would be willing to agree to a truce? Well, willing or not such a thing would only be worthwhile as long as the other Overseers agreed to it too.

So screw them, let's RIP AND TEAR

>Moving along then, hopefully there will be more players joining.
>>15759954
The jets form with a slight crack, blue flame erupting for a split second, pushing you towards the Leader. From teh corner of your eye you can see the rest move, bullets raining down on your bone plate, bouncing off like pebbles. Your tentacles form mid-air, blades slipping out of their tips, and you hit the creature, both arms stretched out, hands grabbing the biceps, the wrist spikes burrowing their way through the joints, the shoulders dislocating with a wet pop.

The bodysnatcher falls down under you, and your tentacles strike down again and again, tearing it's limbs apart. You move to finish it off, but the two Warriors bowl into you, pushing you to the ground, their feet quickly stomping down on your slimy appendages, immobilising them. While one holds your arms, the other raisies a fist, hook-blade glittering in the dim light.

Wat do? (any clever plans, or just fihgt bakc?)

>>15760059
Then maybe you should, you know, roll for that?

Anybody here? Honestly, I'm surprised that this quest survived for so long. Come on, don't let this quest die, guys.

>>15760302
Yeah, I'm kind of dissapointed, since there were a lot more players around in the middle (10-ish). And the last one did recieve 7 votes, so either someone is using different IPs to vote several times, or there are seven people who enjoy at least reading it.

rolled 74 = 74

>>15760291
I assume we're on the ground. Then, try to "curl up" and kick the warrior holding you. We should be flexible enough, especially after studying the cat anatomy. Ideally, the other warrior will miss us and get his blade stuck in the concrete. Weaken your tentacles, so they will snap off. We can morph them again later and they're working against us now.

rolled 86 = 86

I say we exhale a burst of toxins. Fear response equals increased heart rate and breathing, which means poisons are more effective. Shut down the warriors with a strong hit of whatever it takes to scramble a bodysnatcher's connections.

rolled 12 = 12

>>15760478
That is a good idea too. I completly forgot that we can use our chemical gland in other ways than trough wristspike.

>>15760426
>>15760478

Drwaing up your knees to your chest, you kick out, and send the creature above you flying. It crashes unto the wall of the house, plaster covering it. Turning your head back, you spit out a glob of toxins and acid into the other Warriors eyes, the beast screaming in pain and terror, stumbling backwards.

Hopping up to your feet, your limbs shiver as they change, and with an almost lazy gesture, you rainse them towards the confused enemies, letting loose a devastating barrage of spikes. They impact with a series of loud thuds, tearing apart their tagets with ease.

A small explosion draws your attention, and you sway to the side, the missile launched from one of the roofs passing you by harmlessly, punching in a section of wall behind you. A hailstorm of bullets bouncing off you, you raise an appendage in the direction of every small group of Infiltrators, letting loose a few short bursts.

You glance around in the sudden quiet, noting that the Leaders chest was caved in by the foot of the poisoned Warrior in it's struggle. Extending your mind-link, you notice that the Overseer has escaped out back, from the feel of it trying to run away on foot.

Wat do?

rolled 69 = 69

>>15760590
Chase him, of course. But keep an eye out for unplaesant surprises. He may still have some tricks up his sleeve.

>>15760590
chase it down.

>>15760625

You can fly faster than he can run. But where is he running to? We need to cut him off, and then eat him.

>>15760625
>>15760633

The tentacles, now nothing more than a nuisance, retract, giving way to a pair of leathery wings. With a burst of flame, you are in the air, following the Overseer at a breackneck speed, dodging chairs, trees and fences, your surroundings a blur.

Spotting the running figure of a man, you slow down, and drop down on it, pinning it to the ground, crouching on it's back. It let's out a wheeze as the air is pushed out of it, whimpering for a second, before turning it into a rattling, rough laugh. Turning it's face up - a handsome, thirthy something man- it smiles at you, eyes wide and dilated, flames of mad glee burning in them.

"You're not going to get away whit this, you know. You, and your friends are living on borrowed time." It let's out a hysterical chuckle, the fear evidently gone.

Wat do/say?

>>15760760
Our friends? He must mean Daisy and Kelley. He doesn't know about Catherine.
Hmm... Instead of asking, we should just absorb him. But the information may be lost in the struggle. But if we ask him he may lie and then commit suicide to avoid capture (I remember that Kellery said that bodysnatchers just "turn off" if captured). Wat do, indeed.

>>15760760

"Advice about borrowed time from the morally bankrupt. Talk about your great ironies."

Then kill him.

>>15760848
Actually, he likely does, he recieved constant feedback from the fight earlier, so it would probably now something about Cath.
>>15760849
Just kill, or absorb?

>>15760876

Time to dine.

>>15760876
>Actually, he likely does, he recieved constant feedback from the fight earlier, so it would probably know something about Cath.
I guess, but I was talking about what she is (a hybrid) rather than her existence. Then again, we don't know for sure.

>borrowed time
Hmm... Do you guys remember Anne Grey? She was like us and she worked with humans, but eventually went crazy. At last, that's what we heard. Maybe that has something to do with that?

>>15760876
>Just kill, or absorb?
Absorb. By just killing him we gain nothing. We're not exactly saints ourselves.

>>15760967
>We're not exactly saints ourselves.
Whoops. Before that, there should be "Skip the one-liner though". Erased that by accident.

Maybe it's our ears still ringing from the sonic cannon earlier, but I think I hear dinner bells.

O'Grady has spoken, DINNER TIME.

>>15760967
You raise a hand towards the sky, morphing it into the clawed shape, and slam it donw on it's head, talons sinking deep into it's skull, the tendrils extending, burrowing deep for the creature inside. The Overseer keeps laughing in that strange, high-pitched voice, and you are hit by a sense of unease.

You consider withdrawing the tendrils, when something reaches out to them, latches on, and starts pumping something inside you. With a start you realise that it is the bodysnatcher, using tendrils of it's own, shoving itself inside you, the tissue burning you like fire. The mind-link shivers, and the creature's mind hits you with everything it's got.

Struggling against it, you let out a snarl, and let more tendrils inside, trying to devour it before it can hurt you further. It seems to take ages, and when you finally finish, you note that it started raining sometime during your fight. The ground underneath your feet is soaked, the corpse laying on the ground slowly cooling.

As you stumble to your feet, every fiber of your being cries out in pain, your head pounding, your hands and legs shaking. You will away the morphs, and head back to the motel, your hand holding on to every object or wall beside you to keep you from falling over.
(cont.)

>>15761105
You arrive at the motel later in a daze, cold, shivering and feeling sick. The rain keeps relentlessly beating at you as you open the door, the gutters overflowing in the streets. Somehow, you manage to climb up to the first floor, and step into a room. You hear a concerned voice calling out your name, the words distant, coming from the end of long tunnel. Without replying, you lean against the wall, and slowly slide down to the floor, crawling into a corner to sleep, curling up like a wounded animal.

You dream.

A devastated landscape lies around you, forests and glades burned down, ash and soot trailing in the air. The place seems familiar, some connection lingering between it and you. The sigh of the destruction fills you with pain, something close to you, a part of you, gone.

As you walk around, you spot a strange plant, no, a sapling, growing out from the scorched ground, it's leaves and branches alien, different from anything you have seen before, yet it's sight gives you a renewed sense of hope. You step closer, the thing growing in front of your eyes, becoming a huge tree, towering above it's surroundings, branches reaching out all around. Small flowers and fruits blossom, filling the air with sweet, heavy scents.

You wake to the unyielding hardness of the wooden floor underneath you, noting that someone threw a blanket over you while you slept. The pain has faded, though you feel a change, something fundamentally different in you.
(cont.)

>>15761269
You rise, a new found power flowing through your limbs. The base genetic code, that you have mended and slightly changed in the last few years, has been warped by the attack, becoming something new.

>Choose one mutation:

-Monstrous Strength
Your physical strength increases in magnitude, making you stronger than it would seem possible.

-Armoured Juggernaut
Your body alters to create a multi-layered protective armour, making you a walking tank, though stripping you of some mobility while using it.

-Protean Nature
Morphing becomes second nature, your form freely flowing between states, the energy and time required to do so significantly reduced.

-Perfect Predator
Your form alters, allowing you to be nearly silent, your body not appearing on any digital sensors, any scent you might have had gone.

rolled 90 = 90

>>15761359
I say go with Perfect Predator

>>15761359

The others are awesome, but Perfect Predator is the thing I want.

>>15761359
Perfect Predator sounds great.

rolled 88 = 88

>>15761371
I was going to suggest efficiency and go with Protean Nature. But I doubt I'll beat a 90, so let's go with Perfect Predator.

>>15761359
Oh yes, and just so we're clear, Monstrous Strength means being capable of lifting several tonnes, and Protean Nature means instantaneous shifting, and minimal energy expenditure, cutting your required amount of food down to one sixth of normal.

>>15761359
And Armoured Juggernaut is take an energy lance to the face and shrug it off levels of tough.

Just to make everything clear.

rolled 65 = 65

Protean Nature. Failing that, Perfect Predator.

rolled 14 = 14

wait a minute, let's get some discussion here before we decide. what're the pro's and con's of each choice?

>>15761470
Brain already described the pros. There are no cons (well, expect reduced mobillity while using Juggernaut). Unless there's some catch Brain didn't tell us about.

>>15761508
Well, there might or might not be consequences to your new, altered state, but it's not dependant on which you choose.

Though there is one which has a rather dual nature, double-edged sword really.

>>15761508
Well, I meant when applied to what we could do with them, likely hood of them being useful to us etc.

>>15761528
Basically, what do we intend to do most? Which would be helpful to us most.

>>15761539
>>15761470
Anyone want to discuss? If not, I'll move along in ten minutes or so, with Perfect Predator as the chosen one.

>>15761539
>>15761528
Well... I don't really understand what you're talking about. The mutations are pretty self-explanatory. Strenght makes us really, really strong (duh), Juggernaut makes us a bit slower, but almost invicible, Protean Nature makes shifting instantaneous, Perfect Predator makes us stealthy and obscures us from sensors.
As for usefulness. We don't really have one modus operandi. We act as is most approbiate in given situation. Homever, we planned on infiltrating the Wise, and Predator may help us with that, while Protean would enhance our overall efficiency.

>Though there is one which has a rather dual nature, double-edged sword really.
I bet that's Predator or Protean. I don't really know why. Just a feeling.

>>15761660
Wouldn't affect our mind-link with Daisy would it? Or would it perhaps gain some negative shiz from catherine or something maybe?

>Perfect Predaotr it is.

You stretch, your limbs feeling more limber and agile than before, and an almost physical feedback of the amount of noise you make constantly registering in your head.

Daisy leans in from behind the door, cautiously looking at you before shouting to the other room. "He's up!" She walks toward you, somewhat hesitantly. "Jack, are you okay? You feel... weird. Different." Catherine appears behind her, looking around with confusion, then asking the girl with urgency in her voice. "Daisy, where did he go? We need to find him, and fast."

>>15761725
>>15761852
I FUCKING KNEW IT.

>>15761852
>your body not appearing on any digital sensors
>"Daisy, where did he go? We need to find him, and fast."
Shit.

>your body not appearing on any digital sensors
>Cath is a robot thing
>Cath can't detect us
Fuck, that was so obvious

>>15761852

"Catherine, I learned a new trick from that Overseer I ate. Give me a moment, I'll try to turn it off."

tell Daisy to tell Cath to look for a me-sized hole in her perceptions, where something should be but isn't. A spot that might be a bit colder than the ambient temperature, or that should have a steady movement of air through the empty space but doesn't. Also see if she can turn off her enhanced senses and see with unaugmented human eyes.

Ask Daisy how we feel different, what's changed. She seems to be good at intuitively understanding things in the way that only kids can. Open ourselves up and ask Daisy to poke around inside.

>>15761888
A bit too late buddy. I doubt Brain agrees for retcon.

>>15761852
"Cath, I am here, in this room. I... changed a bit."
Explain what happened last night.

>-Protean Nature!!
Dammit I've likely arrived too late.

Damn, I feel guilty and embarassed. I *knew* that there's something wrong with either Protean Nature or Perfect Predator, and for a brief moment realised that Cath also uses sensors, but brushed it off. What was I thinking? It seems lack of sleep is taking its toll on me.
Oh well. Maybe not all is lost. Maybe we may fix that in the future. Anyway, we brought that on ourselves and we will learn to deal with that. Period. No whining.

>>15761910
>>15761936
>>15761923

She seems to relax a bit. "I see. But I can't just turn it off, these are my eyes, they work in a different way now. I can try to think something up later though." She squints, her presence turning colder for a second, then her eyes focus somewhere around left to your head. "I can barely tell that something is wrong, it's not even that there's nothing there." You nod, deciding that you'll try to wrap your head around it later, and turn to Daisy. "Could you take a look at my head, kiddo? Poke around, see what's different?"

She nods, but keeps out of arm's reach. You can feel her taking a measure of you, and her eyes go wide. She slowly starts to back away. "You're not like me anymore. Not like me, the one in the yellow house, or the bad guys Cathie took care of." She screams "WHAT ARE YOU?" and runs outside.

>>15761923
All of this sounds great, though we should try saying 'hi' first and seeing if she hears us.

>>15762083
>Damn, I knew I forgot something, do you want to try to turn it off, or go after Daisy/talk with Cath some more/etc. ?

>>15762097
Didn't want to go that far, that would really be a dick move.

>>15762015
>Anyway, we brought that on ourselves and we will learn to deal with that.
Of course. What is one small disadvantage compared to so many opportunities?

>>15762083
>You're not like me anymore. Not like me, the one in the yellow house, or the bad guys Cathie took care of.
We never were like her - she's human. And we haven't been like the other bodysnatchers for a while now either. What's her problem?

rolled 20 = 20

>>15762098
>>15762083
Tell the others to go after Daisy while we try to turn it off.

>>15762083
>"You're not like me anymore. Not like me, the one in the yellow house, or the bad guys Cathie took care of."
>"WHAT ARE YOU?"
It seems we're becoming something bigger, badder and scarier than ordinary bodysnatcher. We're a goddamn aberration, at least judging by Daisy's reaction. Whatever that Overseer tried to do to us, I think it didn't went as he wanted.

Okay, action. Go after Daisy, but don't chase her. Just make sure she doesn't run away too far. She needs a moment to calm down. Then, try to turn off make yourself wisible to sensors. Gather everyone, explain what happened last night, plan next action.

>>15762120

We were partially consumed by the Overseer in that fight too. It was rough, and we're something new.

>>15762132
>>15762186

"Daisy, calm down. Kiddo? Cath, help me out here." She looks a little to teh left of your face, having troubles focusing on you, but nods, and you both walk out to see Kellery standing in the corridor, Daisy literally hiding behind her skirt, her face poking out a bit on the left side, a wary gaze keeping tabs on you. Kellery seems about as confused as everyone, and you try to explain, when Catherine bumps into you from behind, then reaches out with a frown, grabbing your shoulder.

Her eyes go in and out of focus for a moment, then she leaps back, her face twisted into a feral snarl. Her hands shift and ripple, the fake human look of them dissapearing, and turn into large multi-barelled weapons in front of your eyes.

You raise your hands, palms out. "Let's just calm down for a moment, I'll try to make it go away, okay?" You focus, trying to undo the change.
(cont.)

>>15762315
It feels like you just set yourself on fire.

You scream, and drop to your knees, your stomach heaving, bile rushing up your throat. You can almost hear someone talking to you, but the pain is too much, you can't see or think from it. You lie there, helpless, and time seems to slow to a crawl.

The next thing you remember is the sight of the ceiling, dark spots on the dirty white background. The pain has receded, but it hasn't completely faded. The stingy, unpleasent smell of your vomit lingers in the air.

You realize that there is something under your head, and you twist to look up, seeing Catherine's relieved face. "Hey, hey, don't try to move, everything is okay, it's over." You seem to be laying on the same corridor, your head in her lap. She doesn't have any problem seeing you know, either.

>>15762476
"Did it work? Or did you do something to your eyes? Oh man Daisy must be freaked out."

"Anybody get the number of that nuke?"

>>15762564
>>15762521
She laughs a little, tension visibly escaping her, though she turns serious after looking at you again. "I'm sorry, Jack. It didn't work. You were out for most of a day, and with some help from Professor Kellery, I did some changes. Rerouted some sensors, added in some optical lenses," she points a finger at her eyes" among other things. It's still kind of freaky, but I can see you now."

Daisy rushes in, and practically throws herself on you, sobbing out an apology, how she's so very sorry, it won't happen again, and so on. You pat her head and tell her that it's okay, and stand up, noticing Kellery leaning against the frame of a door. "That Overseer really did a number on you, didn't it."

Her words knock a piece of information you absorbed loose, and you stop dead in your tracks, mouth half open in answer. The Queen responsible for this area has deemed you a threat, prioritising you over all else. It is massing all available troops, hundreds upon hundreds of bodysnatchers of all kind of types marching towards the city. But that isn't what stopped you.

It is making Hunters. Real ones, three in fact. The first one will be ready to move in just a day.

Catherine quickly clamber to her feet. "Jack. What happened again? Talk to me, please."

>>15762708
Tell them. We need to contact the wise so that they'll be ready too. They could take out massive numbers of them in one swoop. We'll also need to relocate ASAP but that can wait until contact has been made. They might have a better form of transit.

I feel the sleep overtaking me. It is a good pain.

I think we'll stop for today, see you guys next saturday. I'll archive the thread in a moment.

"We've got a problem. One of the Queens knows about me. Possibly us. We need to contact the Wise, NOW. Thousands of 'snatchers are on their way as we speak, and a trio of hunters are being prepped. Hunters like me, but not stumbling blind. This is big, and we'll need a lot more than just us to deal with this. Kellery, is there any phone number directly into the base we infiltrated? Anything that's likely to be heavily bugged and monitored? We need a way to shoot this info up the Wise chain of command pronto. We might have to sacrifice some anonymity to do it, too, but I don't think I can take on an army of warriors and a trio of me's at the same time."

>>15762922
Oh, and we'll probably start of with this. No sense in wasting it just because I'm tired as hell.

Thread is archived as well.

>>15762909
FFFFFFFFFFF

Any chance you'll be around tomorrow if we keep the thread alive?

bump

>>15760329
Man, I think the problem is the irregular schedule, short-ish threads and generally few threads a week.
When you started, you made about 3 threads a week, which was pretty ballin'.
I participated heavily in the beginning (I had more time back then and could be online during the threads which are generally during the night for me).

One thing that makes this quest go is the sense of accomplishment and regular upgrades. I think that direction is great and you should continue with rewards (although don't go overboard).

Anyway, more threads would be great .... if there were more players of course. Unfortunately I don't think I ever be in position to participate for the next month or two.
Don't give up on this, Brain, I really like this quest and always read it from the archives!


For the next course of action I think we should pack our shit and get the fuck away from here, no sense in trying to fight entire army and 3 super-soldiers.

Also, I think there will be a spike of intrest in the quest when we go after the Fools. With this new upgrade of ours we should be able to just walk to their base unobstructed. They seem to have heavy focus on the Mechanical aliens thus they will have heavily invested in digital sensors which do jack-shit against us.

Hookay, I'm here. I'll bump things around, and if we get a couple people here, I'll continue.

>>15766847
True enough. I'll try to figure out a way to have more threads up, because length-wise, I can't make anyi promises, I stopped this time because I felt myself slipping, even in these >>15762909
>>15763000
short posts, I had to go back to fix typos like four times.

If I can get myself back on track, we might get 2-3 threads a week again.

>>15767842
Oh yes, and I meant start later, in five hours or so, I have some stuff to do.

Bump

I am here and I'm not busy with anything today, so I'll participate.

>>15766847
>One thing that makes this quest go is the sense of accomplishment and regular upgrades.
Oh yes. Just compare Jack from the first threads and Jack from this thread. Warriors went from serious threats to regular mooks and Infiltrators are barely considered at all. And now we're becoming something more (or less) than bodysnatcher.

As for the course of action, I agree that we should get ready to move out and tell the Wise about small army preparing to siege the city. Also, now that Cath and Daisy calmed down, we can ask them why we are so repulsive to them. What *exactly* they saw in us?

>>15767849
Oh sweet.
Perhaps I will be able to participate yet!

>>15768624
Cath wasn't really freaked out was she? She just couldn't see us.

ANyway, what I REALLY want is to have an encounter with the Fools again, preferably where we track them down while they have no idea.
What I want is some scene which plays like this: Megan (or what was that bitches name) comes home to rest, goes to her bedroom/livingroom and turns the light on, where she sees us sitting in the armchair waiting for her. When she sees us, we calmly say to her "Jack is dead". And then we slowly choke her to death.

I think this would be cool (the part where we tell her that Jack is dead) and I have been thinking of doing this since we have encountered the Fools. Since we have fooled her and everyone into believe that we have human mind this would be mindblowing for them before we kill them.

>>15768681
She went berserk when she touched you, the whole you're-there-but-not thing probably screwing with her head.

Also, a quick service announcement or two.

Mutations from this point on will replace upgrades, so you will be able to get the other three, along a number of other ones.

On the matter of Hunters, they do not have mutations, that is something unique to you as far as you know. They do have every possible normal upgrade from the get go, inculding a number of ones that haven't been an option to you.

Another player here, might be in and out today.

>>15768624
Also, what do you guys about our chances with Hunters? If I am not mistaken, they are "complete" and thus have all our morphs plus those we don't have yet. The only advantage we have is Predator. Homever, we have Cath and Daisy on our side. Still, our chances aren't high, especially against three of them.
On the second hand, absorbing one would strenghten us considerably... or doom us. Anne Grey turned on humans after absorbing Hunter. We don't know if the same won't happen to us. Still, I think it's worth the risk.

>>15768729
I am pretty mad that the Fools turned on us after all the effort I made into collecting all those advanced weapons that the Wise had.
I was planning for our character to have powerful weapons too in addition to all of his close range combat capabilities. That way he would have an edge over all other enemies.
Normal human weapons don't cut it but the alien hybrids were perfect.
I bet that asshole doctor used them to make his super-robot.

Also, consider that with Perfect Predator and myriad other skills we have, we can become completely invisible to bodysnatchers too.


>>15766847
Another thing that I have forgotten to add.
I was the one who chose and rolled high for all the mental traits like
>- enhanced senses, capable of switching to different spectrums (infravision, ultrasound, noise filtering, etc.)
>- fiber-optic nervous system, allowing you to ignore pain to some extent, and speeding up your reflexes by orders of magnitude

I cannot say that you don't take those into the consideration during the fights and everything but from what we read it seems that they are hardly ever used.
Perhaps I am wrong and all of our actions have been greatly amplified and in fact we are getting bonus modifiers, but the fact stands that those things get hardly mentioned during the updates. Perhaps the enemies we are fighting are so strong that this evens out...... I just feel that I had wasted the upgrades back then on things that are hardly mentioned and (seemingly) used.

>>15768837
My take is that we just keep fighting tougher enemies. I voted for fiberoptic pathways too.
I was also pritty pissed the Fools turned on us. All the more reason to deal with the wise now.

>>15768837
Fiberoptic is taken into account, hence why you can take out multiple enemies in a few second. If you recall, nothing beyond sneak attacks hit you since. The senses are underused somewhat though, so I'll take care to include them more.

>>15768928
Forgot to include, the straight up fights since then have been over in 3-4 seconds or so, the Warriors are fast, hence their ability to keep up somewhat. You completely obliterated the Canes Belli, if you recall.

>>15768868
>>15768928

Oh great! :D

>>15768710
>On the matter of Hunters, they do not have mutations, that is something unique to you as far as you know.

I like how we are a party of weird and completely unique people (well except for Kellery, she's just a human).... even our cat has bodysnatcher cells and I am sure that will play some role in the future.

I have to ask though. How much mobility would we have lost if we took Juggernaut? Because that was my favorite mutation out of the whole bunch.
And could we offset the mobility loss somehow if also have Monstrous Strength?

>>15768928
Say, will we have a chance to try and make pefect predator something we can switch on and off once we get some time to catch our breath?

>>15768979
And why would we want to? Cath already worked around that. Besides, I doubt we will ever learn how to turn it off. This isn't a morph. It's a mutation of our genetic code, an integral part of us. At least, that's how I interpret this.

>>15768974
>And could we offset the mobility loss somehow if also have Monstrous Strength?
That's a good question. Also, just make one thing clear - even if we take Juggernaut, we can still morph ordinary armor, right (contrary to Predator, which, as I said before, can't just go away)?

>I like how we are a party of weird and completely unique people
Hell yeah. Daisy? Human mind, alien body. Catherine? Hybrid of bodysnatcher and cyborg. Jack? God knows what. A cat? Bodysnatcher cells. Only Kellery remains human.

>>15769097
>>15768974

Armoured Juggernaut would mean somewhat slower running and doging, much worse jumping, and no flying.
Normal armour could be used, it doesn't overwrite it completely, it's an option.

Turning things on and off might be possible after purchasing some other mutations, if you can turn them on and off, Protean Nature would allow almost instant, free switching.

>>15768974
Oh, and Monstrous Strength would negate the penalties of Armoured Juggernaut, allowing your normal movement when AJ-d, and being faster without it. Still no flying with it on, though.

>>15769142
Oh .. we can't have several mutation on at the time?
I can see that having Juggernaut and Perfect Predator on might have some complications.
But Monstrous strength and Juggernaut seem to be made for each other.

How long would it take to turn on and off the Juggernaut (you know, in case we suddenly need to fly somewhere)?

>>15769097
>And why would we want to?

There might be a few situations where we actually want to show up on surveillance equipment.

>>15769204
You can, sorry for the wording, meant switching between on and off states where applicable (AJ for example).

>>15769209
Carry something that gives off some form of energy. It should be noticed.

ETA 1 hour for the quest.

>>15769387
I hope I don't fall asleep before then. It is pretty late here...

>>15769435
>>15769387
Dammit, have something to take care off. Hopefully I will be back in an hour.

>>15762922

Kellery seems lost in thought, considering her options. "I could possibly transmit the information to them, coded of course, but I'd like to ask you to consider working with them. The cyborgs keep tabs on large groups of bodysnatchers, and vica versa, so they'll move in force as well. The Wise do not have the forces to cleanly settle a conflict on that scale. The city would be devastated."

She lights a cigarette, a nervous habit. "Not to mention that you and Miss Abbey are something we don't understand completely. With the proper equipment, we could determine any number of things that could prevent more nasty surprises. Your newfound ability, for example, is not something that the Wise have encountered so far. At least not as far as I know."

She gestures, waving her left hand around with the palm up, and blows out some smoke after a long drag. "They aren't fighting against you, you know. I am sure that they would be happy to have you as an ally, rather than as a wild card."

>>15769873
After the whole mess with the Fools then this I'm not seeing a whole lot of options.
Then ask Cath what her opinion is on this and then ask Kellery what would likely happen to Daisy.

I'm hereeee, not fully awake though so I'll mainly be lurking unless I can think of something to do that's not stupid.

Shouldn't we make sure they know that although we're allied with them, we wish to largely be left to our own devices.

>>15769873
Well, she makes sense. I'm not happy with being a research subject, but there's only so much we can do alone. I mean, assuming we refuse and survive the incoming battle, what do we do next? Go to Madrid to chase the Fools? Seek the Queen to absorb and mess up our genetic code further? We're short on options. If nobody has better idea, we could consider working with the Wise.
Also, >>15769922 asked a good question. What Cath thinks of it? And what about Daisy? We don't want to return her to the cage.

>>15769922
>>15769970
You turn to the other two, slightly rubbing your eyes. "Cath, Daisy, how do you feel about this?" Catherine looks a little lost, biting her lower lip. "I really don't know Jack, I have no idea what's going on. But I know you'll make the right decision."

Daisy seems a bit apprehensive, but Kellery kneels down beside her, and holds her hand. "Don't worry sweetie, no one will hurt you." She looks back to you. "If we take this to the Wise themselves, not one of their agents, then I'm sure that they'll see reason. You've already proven that you are not one of their enemies."

>>15770105
If somebody tries to lock any of us in a box things are not gonna be pritty. Other than that though I'd say it's worth the risk. This is survival we're talking about.

>>15770105
>You've already proven that you are not one of their enemies.
How? We broke into their base, stole valuable samples, freed research subject and killed some people (though not nearly as many as many we could if we wanted to). That's not very good first impression.

Also, I repeat my request to ask Daisy what *exactly* is so weird about us.
Anyway, if nobody has any ideas, I guess we're going with contacting the Wise. Not very good plan, but better than just walking around, hoping for the best.

nope
not allying with anyone
we already probed them what they would do if we tried to ally

>>15770195
They know that you are fighting against both cyborgs and 'snatchers. You used non-lethal measures against their troops and agents when you could have killed them in self-defense, barring a few accidents. You only broke in to their base to help a civilian. You also tipped them off to a large gathering of 'snatchers in the open.

They can't be sure about you, but they know that you are definetely hostile to any non-hybrid aliens. Enemy of my enemy, and so on.

>>15770170
Kellery reads your troubled expression, and says "They will likely prioritise the current threat over any attempt to analyse you. And if I can convince them that you are still human in mind, they will have no reason to treat you as anything else. They don't pick fights when they can only lose one way or the other. If you co-operate, and undergo some harmless tests, you won't have anything to worry about."

No,
we could cooperate during the coming fight but letting us stick needles in us or any other interaction after the fight is a big no-no.
Tell her to send her message as soon though, time is running out.

>>15770249
If you are referring to the conversation with Agent Jacobs, then I'd like to point out that he probalby has some strong personal bias against it. It need not represent the attitude of the whole organisation.

Still no convinced we should ally with them beyond fighting together against coming shitstorm

>>15770272
No tests. We agree to help them and tip them off with information, but we will not be examined. This way, not only do we retain some mystery, but they know exactly where they stand with us.

>>15770272
That sounds like a good deal, actually. As long as we keep behaving like a person instead of a monster, we should be fine. And it's a lot better than trying to live on the run or fight entire armies with just three combatants.

Allright, let's put this to the vote.

Don't ally.
Ally for the coming battle, not longer.
Ally, but refuse tests.
Ally, co-operate wiht harmless tests.

>I think that's all the options, correct me if I'm wrong.

And I still think we should ally with them. That's true, it's very risky, there are so many ways it can bite us in the ass later that I can't even begin to count them, but we need their help. Without them the best we can do is absorbing bodysnatchers in hopes of discovering location of the Queen or chasing the Fools, who can be anywhere.

>>15770359
Ally, co-operate wiht harmless tests.

rolled 19 = 19

>>15770359
Ally, but refuse tests.

>>15770359
Let's do the: >Ally, co-operate wiht harmless tests.

>>15770367
Count this post as a vote towards cooperation and tests. I'm not comfortable with letting them study us and there's always a possiblity that they will turns this knowledge against us, but we need to know what we really are. If majority decides that we shouldn't let them examine us, I'll accept that.

>>15770359
>Ally for the coming battle, not longer.
this

if not
>Ally, but refuse tests.
this

No fucking tests.
Actually I am not too hot on allying at all but we need help with the coming battle.

Ally, but refuse tests. Can't risk our true nature becoming known. Should that happen, not only will the Wise turn on us, so will Kellery, Cathy, and Daisy if they find out we are really an alien.

>>15770359
Ally, co-operate wiht harmless tests.

Ally, but refuse all tests.

Ally, but refuse all tests

>>15770399
>but we need to know what we really are

No we don't.
We just mutated into an unique creature that is all. I mean Cath is a completely new thing but we are not setting her up for any tests are we?

Please no to tests, only cooperating for the duration of the fight.
We shouldn't be making too much alliances in the first place anyway.

Remember, we are a bodysnatcvher foremost, not a human. Advancing human goals should not be our task.

>Full co-operation it is, three vs. one

"Make the call. We're willing to co-opearte. No funny business though, or things will get ugly." She nods, smiling. "Thank you Jack, you won't regret this." She pulls out a cellphone, and walks away, dialing a number. "Come on girls, we need to get packing." They head into the room, and you take a deep breath, wondering if you did the right thing.

"Don't worry big guy, the broad seems legit." The voice catches you by surprise, and you prepare to fight, only to notice that it came from ankle level. Looking down, you can see Daisy's cat, and for a second think that you were imagining it, when the cat speaks in a deep bass voice. "You guys have some food lying around somewhere, right? I'm starving." The way it's lips move is rather disturbing, but the voice is clear, not hampered by the feline mouth.

>>15770543
Uh they all know we're an alien who thinks and acts like a human. There's no other explanation for what we are. We sure as hell aren't human. It's just that Jack's personality was so strong that it's what we decided to use. And now we're so used to being Jack that unconscious behaviors, like Jack's habit for constant swearing, and his smoking addiction, manifest when we're not half-dead.

>>15770607
Oh sorry, retcon. Unless someone is samefagging like hell, ally but refuse is the decision. 5 vs 4. Or is >>15770564
>>15770580 a double post?


>We're willing to co-opearte, but no tests,and no funny business, or things will get ugly.

If it stays like that.

>>15770616
>Uh they all know we're an alien who thinks and acts like a human

What the fuck?
Are we following the same quest?
No one knows we are an alien, we have done the job of impersonating Jack so well that no one even suspects us being anything but a human in mind. Where did you get the idea that anyone besides us knows that we are not a human?

>>15770607
"God dammit Cat, I knew something weird would happen!...
Alright, let me see what I can find for you"
Look for some food for the cat.

>Full co-operation it is, three vs. one
What! No tests! No Tests!!!

>>15770637
Not a double post, I should probably have phrased mine differently.

>>15770607

Play it cool. "I think we've got something. How're you managing such a deep voice? Your voicebox couldn't have been big enough for that. Cat sounds are up in infant sound ranges."

>>15770637
I am not trusting anyone so I am going to say no to any and all kinds of tests. In fact we should never even make a single step inside any of their facilities as far as I am concerned.

>>15770663
>>15770616
The only one who knows for sure is Daisy, but she doesn't really mind, hell, you aren't even convinced that she really gets it. Catherine thinks you're Jack 2.0, built up from scratch again, but not that you are actually a rogue bodysnatcher.

>>15770564
This is mine.

>>15770580
This is someone else's. Not a double post.

So, cooperation, but no tests. Got it.

>>15770607
"I'll find something for you."
And now we have a pet suitable for such... unique individuals as our little group. A creepy talking cat.

>>15770786
>Suave, awesome cat
FTFY

We should implant Daisy with all of our armor traits so that she will be safe.

Anyone think this is a good idea? At least we would need to worry less about her that way.

>>15770841
If I remember correctly, Brain already stated that we cannot transfer upgrades.

>>15770664
>>15770731
Just making sure.
>>15770667
>>15770786
"Hey, don't ask me, I'm just a cat. Your little bits inside went crazy last night, made me like this. I ain't got any more idea about what's going on than you." You nod tiredly, and head into the kitchen with the cat in tow.

Inside, Daisy squeels, and rushes to her pet. "Doctor Scruffles! You're okay!" She picks it up, and starts to pet it. "Hey, kiddo, tone it down, you're embarrassing me in front of the boss." She stays still for a moment, then shouts "YOU CAN TALK!" and whirls the cat around giggling. "Yeah yeah, get it out of your system."

Kellery and Catherine look at you with wide eyes. "Ehh, I'm not even that surprised anymore." you say, and pull out a chair, dropping down to wolf down some food. Daisy steps closer to the table, and the cat says "Ooooh, bacon." before wriggling free and jumping on the table, starting to savage a long piece of meat.

>>15770871
B-b-but we taught her how to shapeshift D:

>>15770871
Yes, this is true.

>>15770957
Only through example, she already had the ability, she just didn't know how to use it.

>>15770919
[Do we need any input now?]

Anyway, if Kellery made the call already, lets GTFO here. Then also try to transfer armor traits to Daisy.

>>15770985
Ah...
Dayum Shame then. I hoped we could transfer traits ...
Perhaps we should capture few half-dead infiltrators and have her consume them for the armor?

>>15770998
>Then also try to transfer armor traits to Daisy.
We can't. Maybe she has it already and only needs some help to realize it, but if she doesn't, then we can't give it to her.

As for course of action... well, we can only pack up and wait. I assume Kellery already made the call and there's somebody coming to pick us up.

>>15771041
>Perhaps we should capture few half-dead infiltrators and have her consume them for the armor?
That's possible... But I remember Brain saying that Daisy bonded with her bodysnatcher differently than us. We don't know if she can absorb other aliens, and if she can, does that work the same way as with us. Also, she's just a child. I doubt she will be eager to pop someone's skull open.

>Yeah, sorry, just my cofee+cigarette break.

You clean out the leftovers from the fridge and join the others, Kellery leading you out to the street. After a few seconds, you can discern the slight buzzing of Wise aircraft in the distance, and you look around, switching light-sprectrums, hoping to find something. Eventually, you manage to find one that helps, and see about a dozen or so cloacked VTOL crafts heading your way, in a defensive ring aroun a similarly cloaked troop-transport chopper.

You wait, stomach rolled up into a tight ball by tension, and steady yourself by getting every morph that isn't outwardly visible ready. The VTOLs arrive in half a minute, and spread out in the sky while the chopper lands, de-cloaking only when it lands. Dust flies around from the wind it's rotors make, and a man jumps out, surrounded by Canes Belli, apparently ready for trouble, the hybrid weaponry they wounded you with standard issue for all of them.

The man walks closer, holding out a hand for a handshake. "Hey, you must be Jack. I can call you Jack, right? I'm Richard van Rohe, I'll be your liasion to the Wise." The young man, barely more than twenty years old, has a charming, open smile, and his eyes shine with excitement.

>>15771077

Maybe if we had some tests done we could know without traumatizing her.

>crap, left out the last part
>>15771144
"We're going to take you back to Fort Heinlein. The Wise want to talk to you, and to Professor Kellery, and it's standard procedure not to open a direct line to them outside a secure base."

>>15771144

Shake hands, be polite, you're going to be working together for awhile.

"Yeah, you can call me Jack. So Richard, what're we looking at in terms of time left? Have the Wise picked up that army yet?"

>>15771164
"Hey Jack, can we get some ice-cream?"
"I got you an even better treat! Fresh corpse!"
She's got the mind of a 12 year old girl. You don't need tests to know she's not going to like that.

>>15771253

I mean know if she has the armor trait and just doesn't understand how to express it..

>>15771203
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask. Did Kellery tell the Wise about incoming attack? And do we have an idea when (and from where) it will come? We know that the first hunter will be ready tomorrow, but what about the rest of enemy forces?

>into orkillo
There are no orks to kill here, captcha.

>>15771144
>>15771199
Alright. I just hope we can move fast enough to stay a step ahead of the main force.
And look I'm sorry about those guys at that facility. I was um... moving a little too fast to make the hits non lethal.

>>15771266
They will move when the Hunter is ready, from all directions.

>>15771273
"The people upstairs excpect the attack in approximately thirtysix hours, with the cyborgs arriving anywhere from four to twelve hours later. We're shippin in troops and vehicles from all over, but it's not going to be enough."

>>15771203
"Oh, well, that was an unfortunate situation. Professor Kellery has explained to us what you were trying to achieve, and that the splinter group known as the Fools orchestrated the whole thing. That correct? Good, we're more than willing to let bygones be bygones. If that's all, we should get moving."

Well, I can't think of any other questions, so let's move. Don't forget about the cat.

>>15771426
Tell them that we are not entering the fort so they better make a camp outside or something.
This is where we are adamant.

Do we have any leads on the Fools?

Someone said something about Spain, where did we get that info from?

>>15771593
"I'm afraid that's impossible. The Wise wish to speak with you personally, and the amount of time necessary to set up communications that are according to protocol would take very long, most of a day in fact. It's... a complicated procedure, the Wise take care to be anonymous, and their location is only known to a small selection of their most trusted agents." He smiles apologetically. "We can't just give you a phone and ask you to dial a number, the cyborgs can trace almost anything."

>>15771655
Catherine. She hacked around, and found that their trace went cold an airport in Madrid.

>>15771593

That's stubborn and paranoid. There are innocent people on the line here too, we have to cooperate.

>>15771671

"Right. But you're aware that if I'm captured the aliens may be able to learn something about your fort, the Wise, all of that, from my head. I wish we had more time. It's a pretty big security risk just letting me near it."

>>15771671
I am still not cool on going inside the seemingly main fort of the Wise. They had constructed shit to keep Grey inside, how are we to tell they wont just trap us in something or whatever?

Unless someone says it is cool to go in there, I am against it. If someone posts in favour, you can count me a neutral.

"Oh, don't worry about that. Cath, Daisy and me can take care about any and all interference. Just take us to the entrance of your fort and we'll communicate from there."

>>15771753

They've verified that the army gathering is real. They're already short on manpower, to refuse our help would be dumb, and to actively divert resources toward trying to contain us when they should be trying to defend the city is equally stupid.

The Wise aren't stupid.

>>15771743
>There are innocent people on the line here too, we have to cooperate.
>Bodysnatcher
>Caring about "innocents"

laughingasari.dvlmiieopi

>>15771776
>>15771743
Alright if you feel that way, lets do this. But I will keep be paranoid.

>>15771790

A bodysnatcher wouldn't, but Jack would. It's in his profile, it's proven behavior. He's tried to limit collateral damage at every opportunity.

>>15771743

"That won't be a problem, the communications are as secure as they'll get."
He nods at eh pilot, then ushers you into the the chopper, jumping in after you, then speaks into a headset. The chopper lifts off,
and the minutes go by, the rotors a quiet buzz in the background. Richard pulls out a portable gaming system, and plays on it through the whole thirty minute trip, his tongue sticking out at difficult parts. Daisy walks over to him, having a little chat as he explains the game to her, and teaches her how to play. You close your eyes, resting a little, still worn out by your attempt to turn off the digital cloaking.

With a lurch, you land, as you step out the skyline showing you that you are on top of the fake office building concealing the base. Richard climbs out behind you, reaching up to his headset, then gestures for you to go inside. "The'yre waiting for you, your friends will join you afterwards." You step into the elevator, followed by two Canes Belli, who turn it on, heading for the bottom floor.

(cont.)

Anyways, let's go ahead.

[waitan games]

>>15771956
The ride goes by silently, the soldiers restless beside you, eyeing you like you could turn on them any second. The door opens with a slight hiss, opening up to a white corridor ending in a single large door, heavily reinforced. Two squads of Canes Belli, six men each, stand by the walls, Director Fadil standing in your path, arms crossed.

"Mister Winters, we meet again. Hopefully there will be less drugs involved in it for me."

>>15772045
>Hopefully there will be less drugs involved in it for me this time.
Fix

>>15772045
"Heh...
Lets get on with our business shall we? We shouldn't waste time"

... Umm which one was Fadil again?

>>15772045

"Yeah. Sorry about that, it wasn't anything personal. I promise, no injections unless everything's gone FUBAR and I need to save your life or something."

>>15772107

He's the director we ambushed, knocked out, and then imitated to gain entrance to the facility Catherine was fixed in. When we last saw him we left him laying naked in a bathroom (we needed his clothes to appear to be him).

It wasn't nice, but it was necessary.

>>15772107
I think he was the guy we impersonated to infiltrate the base. It seems he doesn't like being tranquillised and having his identity stolen for some reason.

>>15772129
Oh right, haha.

Umm, didn't Kellry and him have something between them.


Also,
>trusting the organization which literally tortured Daisy

I suggest we don't try strengthen this temporal alliance nay further after the coming fight.

>>15772045
"The circumstances are different, so no, no drugs. Hopefully not for me either."
It's understandable that's he's wary of us after that whole "knocked out and impersonated" thing.

Hey, hey .... hey

If we are going to help them (instead of just gfto as any sensible creature would do in this situation), they better do some things for us too.

We should ask for several bodysnatcher specimens to feed on.

>>15772158
>>15772114

He snorts, and shakes his head. "You make no promises, huh. Prudent. Now, if you would please step into this room." He extends a hand towards the door. "You will be alone, the conversation isn't monitored."

You nod, and step up to the door, hydraulics hissing as bolts slip back into the wall, the leafs of the door sliding open, revealing a sphere of a room, with six large screens spread equal distance on the walls, a single large oblong one in front of you.

The door shuts close behind you, and the largest screen comes to life, displaying a symbol, six crowns in a circle around a large eye, all stylised, the crwons on the left black, on the right white, the eye in the middle grey.

The screen zooms in to one of the black crowns, it's image completely filling it. "Mister Winters. Sadly, I can't see you, but at least we're even then, yes?"

(cont.)

>>15772300

"This is just like something out of that Evangelion anime. I hope you're not letting Hideaki Anno's ideas about what a singularity should look like influence you too much. That was a deeply weird cartoon."

>>15772327
Going to have to agree with this. Then again I fully expected something like this.

>>15772327
He hmms and haas for a few seconds, then say "You'll have to excuse me, I am not quite up to date with popular culture to understand that. The singularity, well, we'll have to talk about that at a different time."

>>15772300
The voice, seemingly coming out of nowhere, continues, distorted so as to not be recognisable. "Unfortunately, only I am unoccupied by "greater matters"," he pronounces it with a little venom, clearly taking umbrage at something, "but we have recieved, and have agreed to your terms. You and your companions will not be limited in movement by our forces in any way, the girl, the hybrid, will remain in your and Professor Kellery's care. We are somewhat dissapointed that you refused to partake in a few tests, but we will honour your wishes. We hope you will change your mind, in due time, of course."

The voice takes on a hard edge. "On to business, yes? We must ask of you something. The incoming alien forces are massive, and I fear that confronting them in an urban area will be disastrous. I would like you to aid is by taking out key targets, the Overseers, and the Hunter. With them gone, our conventional troops should be capable of taking care of the rest."

>>15772424
Wasn't there three hunters, not just one?

>>15772435
The other two won't be ready for a while, they will be prepared two days after the first arrives.

>>15772424
Sounds reasonable. Sitting on our ass doing nothing, while the Wise are getting slaughtered isn't what I would call fair deal. It's expected that they want our help. Besides, we wanted to absorb the Hunter anyway, and the Overseers too may be useful, though we can't really be sure after that incident with the last one.
So yeah, we agree.

"Could we be able to divert the troops into non-urban areas to lessen the collateral damage and information leaks?"

Yeah, that is what Iwas planning too. To go after the big targets.

Ask them to supply you with several live bodysnatcher specimens so that we can upgrade and have better chance against the army.

[gah, I can't take it anymore. Need to sleep, it is 4 am not ... I've been feeling sleepy since 20pm. Keep the thread going guys.
Also, great job, Brain, hope you will make more threads!]

We'll be getting a chance to do that by killing the targets they're going to give us.

Cant you move me and my friends to a more remote location? Surely they'd follow and that'd atleast keep the city from being destroyed in the fighting.

Ha ha oops, we irritated the weeaboo.

"I will see what we can do, Director Fadil is tasked with helping you in any way he can. Though our samples are of the half-dead variety, I'm afraid."

"Hmm, I will ask about it, see what our experts say. I field battle would improve the odds, but I cannot say anything for certain, there are factors I am unaware of."

After clearing it's throat, the voice asks "Do you have anything else to add, Mister Winters? Other pressing issues, questions you were intending to ask? I will answer them to the best of my abilities, though I am on a tight schedule, I only have a minute or so to conclude our conversation. I am dreadfully sorry, but I do have a number of other responsibilities."

"Catherine was able to trace the Fools to Madrid, but their trail ran cold at the airport there. They've got dangerous and unbalanced leadership. I'd be willing to help you dismantle their organization once this crisis is over."

"Are there other people like Daisy and me being studied elsewhere? This isn't the time for a discussion about it, but if there are, plan on us having a good long talk about it. The conditions I found Daisy in were not very humane."

"Can I have some of those hybrid-tech guns? I'm pretty effective in combat naked, but a gun would give me extra flexibility."

>>15772711
Drawing a blank here guys, any ideas?

The Fools, do you know who they really are?
The Doctor was able to get that nano virus in Cath under control when really it shouldnt have been possible.

Let's not push it too much, not to mention this isn't really in our character. We helped Daisy cause she was a little kid and we were in a position to, we're not a saint crusading for a better world, we're just a guy trying to survive.

He wasn't pissed off at you, but the othet Wise, who prioritised other things instead of this conversation.
>>15772829
"The Fools, yes. That is a topic for a later time. I have my suspicions, and there is an investigation underway, but until they resurface, I advise you to keep quiet about the matter. It is a rather sensitive subject."
>>15772809
"Other hybrids? I am afraid not. The ones beside you, and your companions, have gone missing, dissapeared off the face of the earth, or died."

"Weaponry, of course, Director Fadil will give you acces to our armory. You should find something that can help you there. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have duties to attend to. Until next time, Mister Winters." You turn around, and head for the door, the screen zooming out to the whole Wise symbol.

"Until next time." There is something strange about the voice, something... hungry, and you are glad to leave the surgically white room.

>quick brake to refresh myself, starting to slip a bit

Okay, this isn't going to work, I drank cofee, and it only made me sleepier. We'll end it here for now, next thread on thursday, you were a great audience, drive safely.
