Wily-R-01

Wily-R-01 edges closer to the "sleeping" Reginald-R-01, slowly and carefully removing his laser pistol and looking for any concealed weapons he may or may not be carrying. "If you'd like, I can help lighten the load. Allow me to remove all of Reginald's burdens. This should make him much easier for you to carry."

[Ran_Endlathall]

Spark-R-1

“Thanks, but the weight of a pistol isn’t going to make much difference. He’ll probably need his gear when he comes to and it wouldn’t do us any good to have someone else holding it. If you want to shoulder the other arm though, that might help.” Spark replies, shifting a bit as he walks, supporting Reginald.
“And unless we can get him up and to his feet, this is going to be a long walk.”

[EvilRoeSlade]

ERS

Friend Spark, it doesn't help unit teamwork when you refuse the helpful assistance of your teammate. She nods over to Wily. You can take that pistol. And if you can't walk fast enough, I suggest you run. I'm afraid we can't delay the mission due to your personal technical difficulties. Now move out people! As soon as she reads the paper to find out where exactly she's going, ERS directs her team there.

[Ran_Endlathall]

Spark-R-1

Sighs a bit, hurrying up.
“Certainly. If you’d like to help I’d more than appreciate it, Janis. If you could hold his Reflec Armor, that would help as well. Unit teamwork is a priority that I should work on a bit.” He turns to Janis, smiling a bit. His experience with teamwork being a bit different as a troubleshooter than in previous experiences, but he quickly adjusts. He pulls out the Multicorder, making sure that it’s on and running, not wanting to neglect his duties as they quickly head out.

Janis-R-1

Janis scurries to help Spark with Reginald.

[SamTheCleric]

Reginald-R-1

Reginald snores. Loudly.

Wily-R-01

Wily takes Reg's pistol and conceals it inside her uniform. She nods at her fellows and quickly follows ERS before she is made to help carry the sleeping Reginald-R-01.

(( No other actions, then? Okay, on to our next stop... PLC. ))

PLC, 1012

You arrive without incident at PLC to receive the rest of your equipment. As expected, the place is crowded with clones, mostly infrared, requesting various pieces of equipment. You spot a sign on the wall that reads ALL REQUESTS ARE HANDLED IN THE ORDER THAT THEY ARE RECEIVED. Fortunately, despite the crowd, there doesn't seem to be much of a line... perhaps the infrareds are steering clear of the gang of troubleshooters (one of whom looks to be "wounded") who just marched in.

(( You may present your requisition form. Also, any personal shopping using the equipment list in the rulebook may be requested. I'm not saying you'll be guaranteed to get it, but you can always request it... ))

[EvilRoeSlade]

ERS

ERS looks around thoughtfully, and then hands a single plasticred to Spark. Get me a bag of algae chips while you're on line please, Friend troubleshooter. Meanwhile I need to perform an exciting bonus inspection on that cleaning bot, I'm not sure that it's operating at maximum efficiency. With that she steps over to the cleaning bot and kneels down over it while the others are on line.

[Ran_Endlathall]

Spark-R-1

Spark nods to ERS, not minding the wait as he moves to wait in line, still shouldering Reginald.
“Mind helping Reginald over to a wall while I make requests?” He asks Janis.
“If you have the Creds, I can also request things up for you so that you don't need to wait in line as well. Also, that may help to speed things up.” He offers, not wanting to make the line longer than it needs to be.
“Oh, and do you want me to request anything for you as well, Reginald?” He asks his unconscious teammate, not wanting to be neglectful.

[SamTheCleric]

Reginald-R-01

Reginald snores.

[Dr Bwaa]

Janis-R-1

Sure thing. Could you get me a Bouncy Bubble Beverage while you're up there?

Janis hands over three plasticreds, and then begins carrying/dragging Reginald over to the nearest wall.

[B][/Wily-R-01B]

She walks around the periphery of the room, with a look that makes the IRs do everything in their power to stay away. They know she is a troubleshooter and seems to think that she already knows more about them than they want anyone to even suspect.

In the meanwhile, all she is trying to do is to scope out the area activities assigned by friend computer.

[Duke of URL]

The Infrareds in line budge aside to let Spark-R-1 through. The infrared clerk at the window reads off a card taped to the wall in a flat, emotionless monotone, not even pausing at sentences. "Greetings friend citizen my name is Teresa-2 I am here to serve you how may I be of assistance to you today."

[Ran_Endlathall]

Spark-R-1

Spark smiles to Teresa-2 as he moves to the window.
“Greetings friend Teresa. I’m Spark-R-1 and I’m here to request a Bag of Algae Chips, two cans of Bouncy Bubble Beverage, and a Happiness Energy Bar.” He pulls out a few Plasticreds before pausing for a moment as though he forgot something before continuing.
“Also our Troubleshooting Team has a Requisition form…”He turns to glance over at Janis, waving him over to hand over the Requisition forms assigned to them.

[Dr Bwaa]

Janis-R-1

Janis hurries over after hastily stuffing Reginald against the wall, and hands over the forms. "Here they are."

[Ran_Endlathall]

Spark-R-1

“Thank you, friend Janis.“ Spark nods warmly to Janis, taking the forms and glancing them over.
“This Requisition form.” He smiles to Teresa, handing over the form.

[Duke of URL]

Teresa-2 hands over a bag of (slightly crushed) algae chips, the two cans of bouncy bubbly beverage, and the happiness bar. She then takes the requisition form and starts typing in the requisition ID number into her terminal.

Just then, the door bursts open and a heavily armed Blue Vulture squadron comes stomping in, heading straight for the head of the line. The infrareds in the area start stampeding...

Spoiler

Show

Literally. Everyone except Spark and Janis make three Reflex saving throws (vs. DC 10) to avoid being trampled by the Infrareds. Well unless you want to open fire on them or something, because I'm sure that will help calm the situation down.

Reginald, you can attempt a new Fortitude save (this time against DC 14) to wake up from the commotion before the reflex checks. If you succeed, roll a second Fortitude save against the same DC to shake off any "grogginess" from the drug.)

... as the elite troops march unheedingly straight for where Spark and Janis are.

C'mon.... wakey time... (1d20+4)[18] and if that succeeds (1d20+4)[24]

ERS

ERS jumps up from where she was examining the cleaning bot, backs up to the wall, and begins opening fire on the infrareds.

reflex3 - (1d20+4)[14]

Wily dodges all of the infrareds with ease. She almost laughs at the sight, but is still watching out for her "team".

[Ran_Endlathall]

Spark-R-1

Spark nods warmly, picking up the things that Teresa sets out as she starts to input the requisition number. He turns, a bit hesitant as he hears Laser Fire and people panicking behind him. Seeing the Blue Vulture Squadron he quickly turns back to the requisition officer, not saying anything yet to keep from distracting her

[Duke of URL]

ERS-R-1 fires into the crowd, which scatters, driving more infrareds toward Wily-R-1 and Reginald-R-1.

ERS, make an attack/damage roll to see if you hit anyone. Wily/Reginald, one more reflex save, please.

Two of the Vulture Squadron members turn immediately toward ERS-R-1, start moving toward her, and draw their weapons as one of them barks out, "drop the weapon and explain yourself, citizen!"

The other two heavily armed troopers march straight up to the requisition desk. One shoves Spark-R-1 out of the way while the other thrusts a requisition form at Teresa-2. Despite the large, bulky build, he has a small, squeaky voice that nevertheless carries the full authority of one accustomed to getting what he wants. "We're in a hurry. Fill this now." Teresa-2 says nothing but starts working on teh new form immediately.

(1d20+3)[19] Reflex

Reginald blinks heavily a few times, fighting off the effects of the pills before standing upright and sees the mass of infrareds coming at him. He attempts to duck and weave out of the way, reaching for his pistol, only to find that it isnt there. He growls softly and begins throwing punches to keep people off of him.

ERS drops her pistol and snaps off a crisp salute. Sir. Those citizens were engaging in unlawful disorderly conduct as outlined in section 891-L, paragraph Z. Furthermore, judging by their panicked and terrified expressions, their happiness was at treasonously low levels. Their execution was necessary and just.

[Duke of URL]

One infrared lies seriously wounded on the floor, while another is dead from the laser blast. At ERS-R-1's explanation, the other soldier backs off slightly.

"Hmmph. Disorderly or not, next time, try to resolve the situation without wasting precious resources," he says, gesturing to the corpse on the floor. "Who's your team leader?"

Spoiler

I rolled a Fast Talk check for ERS, 17 after modifiers -- lucky, because you probably should have gotten plugged for that one.

By the way, did anyone actually take the package y'all are supposed to be delivering?

[EvilRoeSlade]

ERS

ERS bows her head. Of course, sir. Our team leader is ERS-R-1. She gestures to her nametag. That's me sir.

[Ran_Endlathall]

Spark-R-1

Respectfully keeps his distance from the Vultures, making sure not to shake or drop anything as he waits patiently on the side. He knows how important the Vulture’s Mission must be, as well as how dangerous they can be. With a warm smile he waits patiently for the new forms to be finished before his, checking to make sure the Visible Light Program function is currently working on the issued Multicorder Mk 1 that is still clipped to his belt. He puts the Happiness Energy Bar and Algae Chips away in one of the many pouches his belt has as he carefully holds the two cans of Bouncy Bubble Beverage.

[Dutchess of URL]

Wily-R-01

reflex3 - (1d20+4)[11]

Wily-R-01 slides out of the way of the new infrareds running towards her, slightly concerned for her safety. She glares at ERS.

[Duke of URL]

The vulture soldier stares at ERS-R-1 for a second and then breaks out in a humorless laugh. "You are the team leader? Oh, man, are the rest of you guys in so much trouble! Okay, Leader, clean up this mess and try to save that one," he waves in the general direction of the wounded infrared, "before he dies too. So what's your big important mission, anyway?" Not that he seems to be waiting for an answer, as up at the counter, a box arrives from the back storeroom; the Vulture leader takes it and starts to leave, with the other three soldiers following him out of PLC.
