Yagyu spent his time this mission:
- negotiating successfully with the boy-king
- helped with chasing the bugs out of the old lab
- helped secure the hostages and escort them to safety
- found a sample of Green Mystery Fluidtm for command to rub on their faces or whatever.

Sensory hazard, which senses will be affected the most?
Purchase cognition copier, earplugs and (if possible a blindfold)

All of them!

Consider the blindfold free.

Yeah I'll buy a cognition copier, ear plugs, a can of glowspray, and a blindfold or something

Okie Dokie. Consider the blindfold free and earplugs 3 Omni.

List items available to purchase, shitskelly.
Modify sec helmet so that vision and hearing are blocked with the press of a trigger. 10 Omni?

Sounds fine to me.

I think I marked everything as on sale except for stuff with ???. I don't have access to google docs on this thing so lets go with that!


Payback the loan, then go to creepy-guy and give him the same pitch about the shrapnel. If he doesn’t bite just toss it in the bin. Get myself patched up if I haven’t already.

Any chance I won’t have as much trouble with sensory hazards due to being a robot?

+5 Omni for shrapnel.
I'll assume you pay back your debt and pay for medical care too, assuming you have the cash.

Chances are...well you could turn your senses off if needed so there's that.

Go find a metal trashcan and some scrap, then combine it all together using one of my toolkit charges to build a helmet, that'll hopefully protect me from the coming hazards.

Consider your rather silly helmet constructed. I'm not sure how well a helmet made of a trashcan and shrapnel will do for protection from...anything...but you've got it.

Buy earplugs and a blindfold.

3 Omni.

While we are between missions, ghost on over to the hole in the wall bar we visited before and harass the customers for a bit. Then go chat with Reggie and Yuri and find out who actually has clearance to talk with me, and go talk with them.

Unbeknownst to the rest of the group, the solar ghost spends his time between missions drinking the bar's booze (Alcohol is often called "spirits" after all, so why couldn't he?) and harassing the apes, who promptly tell him that, if someone were allowed to talk to him, they would probably be very deep underground in the admin section.

Increase Will to d10 and Implants to d8. Move to the infirmary and remove the metal fragments inside my chest there.

Note: Ouch


-200 for Medical care.

Not all of those are available, though.

((I'm pretty sure Dubs gave up on randomizing the available armory awhile ago.  He's just gonna give you the same link Paris gave you.  Ask if there's any sales or something, if you want something special.))

Complain obliquely to management about only getting paid 600 credits, despite Wil's rank of Senior Xeno Ambassador paying 650 base pay.  Don't make too big a fuss, though.

Then go pay off the loan shark.  Wil owes him 540, and interest is 25% per mission, so I think he now owes 675.  Pay off as much of that as possible; 600 if management doesn't correct their books.


Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)
Add 150 to your payout. I forgot.

-540. The Interest only kicks in if you don't pay him off right after the mission, don't worry.







While You're all here I'll explain the next mission. Its a bit of a toughy we think because it deals with a cognition hazard.  Specifically, with the subject known as "Mr. Friend".

As you are probably all aware, OMNI is in the habit of collecting any sort of strange objects, artifacts, living specimens, or even areas it can get its hands on. After all, analysis of these things can prove very valuable for discovering new techniques and phenomena to be exploited for profit!  "Mr Friend", Official designation "High value specimen 113", is of particular interest to the company because of his unique effects on the cognition of those around him.

I'll put it bluntly: Anyone who perceives Mr. Friend in just about any way, from sight to sound to smell to touch,  immediately falls under Mr. Friend's control. They will do anything he desires them to do, to the best of their ability, with no regard for their own safety or interests. Luckily the effects will rapidly diminish and vanish once perception stops, but the longer they are under his control, the longer it takes for the control to wear off. Also luckily any perception that is sufficiently scrambled or obscured, such as motion tracking data, will not fall prey to this effect. This is the only fact that allowed OMNITECH to secure and work with the subject up until  now.

Recently Mr. Friend somehow managed to influence one of the handlers and rapidly took control of the situation from there. He is free of his cell and wandering the lower levels, with what we believe is a large "Following" of mind controlled individuals. He is no doubt seeking a way out of the compound, and as such we have locked down a large section to secure him. It is, however, only a matter of time till he or one of his puppets finds a way out.

Mr. Friend is a sadist, a sociopath, a man who views everyone other than himself as less than human, just human shaped dolls to use as he desires. He is an insidious monster, but he is also a highly valuable test subject and OMNI has declared that he must be captured alive and as unharmed as possible. This is the issue of course: it would be easy to simply detonate the secured lab sections and be done with it, but we need him alive. Thats your job this time; to secure the labs and capture Mr. Friend. All other collateral damage and casualties are considered Non-issues. Full access to the labs and their systems have been granted.

Any questions so far?

Buy myself one Intellitooth remote activation unit (200), ear and eyeplugs (3), and a taser (100) with 2 cartridges (6).

"Can I have more blindfolds. I want to wear extra."

"Also, is there anymore free stuff. I want to have as much as it as possible."

Хуи, wish I had the money to buy a threat sensor.
if noseplugs are free grab them, as well as a couple spare blindfolds, and a map of the area if the Apes are willing to give me one
(Firstly, can we modify implants like weapons, and does their relatively unique function mean we can "stack" mods?)

Buy a brain copypasta.
Would you give me a melee taser for the same cost as the ranged one? The prosthetic taser costs 4 times as much and might use implant skill.

Is there a way to build a backdoor into my mainframe? (Or any robot for that matter) That way my team could easily hack me and remotely take control? Additionally, would they be able to set up a striped down interface, with no direct audio/video display, and would they be able to effectively control me using “suggestions” and such, as apposed to the direct video game style control that would be more normal.

As for actions. Pay back Shark-Man (-400), then immediately take out another 400 and buy a brain backup. How much would the medical bill to repair the leg cost? If less than 100, do it, if more, take out up to 100 more on the loan to do it.

Would a picture or video of Mr. Friend be enough to cause the effect or does it need to be a live feed?

How do the Friendzoned know what Mr. Friend wants? Does he have to tell them explicitly or do they magically just know?

Is the OMNITECH Occult Dampener capable of stopping the Befriending or the transmission of orders?

I am also curious, does Mr. Friend perceive what his puppets perceive or are are his senses limited to his body? If Mr. Friend was controlling me right now, would he see and hear everything I’m seeing and hearing right now? Does Mr Friend have the ability to view and alter memories of people he is controlling?

((Little time so this post might be a bit haphazard, sorry. I tried not to have any duplicate questions though. If it's too much just stop whenever you grow too annoyed!))


1) What does he look like, or how can we recognize/identify him for sure? In case he tries to pretend to be a puppet or has a puppet pretend to be him.
2) Can one be influenced without actively knowing/being aware that it is happened or happened?
3) Are there physical changes to puppeted people? Perhaps altered brainwave patterns? (Assume any scanning would be done with those portable scanners we can buy from the armory, the one my class starts with).
4) What were the original containment procedures and countermeasures?
5) Any testing data we would be allowed to look into?
6) Can he stay in control by making people e.g. hear recordings or view photos? What about radio transmissions? And could he e.g. Tape a small piece of fingernail to a person to permanently stay in control?
7) Can we get a big ol’ box to transport the subject in?
8) Does his power work on animals? What about artificial intelligences?
9) How did omni originally capture/receive him?
