Scramble takes moment to stab the mutagen injector into her upper arm. Something's off. Maybe it's her current lack of zen or maybe it's the frustrated focus on a target slipping away. Whatever the reason, instead of a wide genetic landscape of possibility, this mutation is laser focused on her dainty snout. A whole olfactory world snaps into focus. Eyes closed she can track the pilot rushing to a new firing position just by the scent of the recently discharged gun and the traces of sweat and machine oil on the pilot's jump suit fading and intensifying infinitesimally . Beyond that, faint tendrils of complex organic molecules waft in from all directions.

The thing had managed to shake him off. And then nail him straight in the chest with its heavy caliber rifle. Even with personal armor typical for shock troops, the thing still had enough punch to punch straight true it and the baseline human behind it. For a moment, but just a moment, Bobby-Jack reflected on the fact that once again he would be dead if not for his augs.

Stimulants, painkillers, regenerative micro-organisms and reinforcing nanoids entered his bloodstream from the medical module. The beta gunman, badly mauled, but still running, was looming menacingly over him. Bobby-Jack rolled away, and quickly dashed to cover, spending some time to fill his medikit to service condition again.

He also lobbed the QED box to Lucinda. The girl had expressed some interest in it, after all.

Let's go to Mars


The Academy of Titan had reached out to Virtual Domain Partners to recover some of the things they had lost through what could be charitably described as Kronos Petro-Sol's mishandling of the Rime region. They'd probably rather have had all of them, but when a reality holovision show is the first means you have to legally breach a corporate injunction keeping you out of your own sovereign territory, you take it and drat the consequences. Nonetheless, they were walking away with enough of the research program's measurements and methods to get back to where they should have been, and they would finally have some answers about why KPS had dumped a spaceship in the area. Given the reaction from Titan Transport Safety's representative, KPS was about to have all the "prosperous future" it could handle and then some.

So, y'know, Jordan was in a real good mood, one that couldn't even be fazed by Lucinda shoving a drone wreck that ought rightfully belong to Pertinax Virtual Domain into Hideous Dynamics' latest protest against the laws of physics, after Bobby-Jack passed it off to her. Also he said he wanted a mutagen. All well and good, but Pertinax's exclusive arrangement had Bobby-Jack's account locked up like *ding* ... nothing at all, according to Aethelred's latest proclamation about not restricting at least that account from other sponsors. A number of possibilities ran through Jordan's head, but in the end, why doubt it? The job's just about done here; we have time to give out candy.

Splashing to a stop, Cryo checked her tablet. This was very closely followed by a stream of untelevisable invective when she realized that an accounting error had put all four of the items Pertinax had bought Stev and her on one single drone. That just wouldn't do now that they were in two seperate hexes, not to mention that with four items on one drone was unacceptably overloaded. Quickly bringing up the heretofore unused sponsor tab on her tablet, she marked a portion of her luxe for upload in the hope that Pertinax would use it to cover the cost of a second drone, and crammed some more scrap into her Squidpack.

Well, that was a downer. A big share of his winnings from Bottom had gone into becoming twice as fast, twice as agile, advantages he felt leaking away as the medkit did its work. Still, this was what experiments were for, yes? It was a correctible problem. For now, it made the need for a pristine ride even keener, so he checked his scan data and made his move, latest acquisition at the ready.

Scramble keeps playing cat and mouse with the pilot, never giving them enough time to line up a shot, never quite getting close enough to swing in for the kill. She knows she could take this moment to run, to continue her plans elsewhere. But her designs on Capricorn are on hold at the moment. She'll need time to set up before calling the titan to combat and the pattern of its incinerating strikes forces Scramble to wait before moving in. Plus having a relatively safe hex to fall back on would be a bonus. Sorry, ex-pilot. Soon you'll be an ex-ex-pilot.

Kalpernicus watched with bated breath as Lucinda VIII Keel-Thoristew foolishly fiddled with the unknown tech that had been so nonchalantly placed in her nimble, eager hands. With a few experimental prods, she somehow managed to attach the broken delivery drone's positrator nodes into the QED Terminal's reception interface. Miraculously, the QED Terminal accepted the widget's "offering" and incorporated the broken drone into itself, restructuring itself entirely and becoming something far more fearsome and greater than the sum of its parts. The newly-fashioned Quartz Entropy Entity Drone was a marvelous success!

Aethelred had already marked the intermediary responsible for the accounting error placing four items on a single light drone for disciplinary action following Cryo's epithet-laden rant on his unfiltered sponsor feed but was pleased to see that it didn't result in the drone crashing in a remote location along with its expensive contents this time. More iteration on the drone delivery system was definitely something he felt necessary, but how best to go about it? Really, the only way to improve the system was gathering telemetry from experimental drones carrying multiple items to multiple wreckers.

Sipping a freshly-mixed Jovian Sunrise (alcohol content somewhere between pure septethanol and Coffin Nail), he noticed that the Pertinax Sponsor Challenge list had yet to be updated with his QED-related additions, and seeing the offspring of Lucinda IV's mating the QED with the wrecked drone, he added yet another.

"And what the hell is that?", Bobby-Jack remarked with some incredulity as the strange, spherical machine floated away from Lucinda's hiding spot, "Is it a weapon..? I've never seen anything quite like it."

Bobby-Jack sneered. If there was something that he absolutely, truly loathed, it was being in a combat situation with unknown actors. Unknowns and surprises, these were the greatest killers of veterans like himself, and he avoided them like the plague. But... with his medical and protective enhancements, he should be able to take it and the gunman even if it proved to be dangerous.

"..Well regardless of what it is, do your trick again if you would Lucinda, maybe you will distract it", Bobby-Jack clacked his claw a couple of times as he turned his eyes back on the gunman, "As for the rig, I think I peeled off the armor plate above the engine on my first assault. Hold on as I go finish the job."

Wondering over to nearest junkpile, Grumps sees Scramble in the process of disemboweling a hapless pilot, and quickly ducks out of any potential collateral damage range.

"Sounds good to me: I'm just slowly making my way around trying to survive. These rads are not nice, even if most didn't make it through the suit. I'll leave you to finish up there"

Bobby-Jack pulled his claw out of the beta's engine, shaking it free from oil and traces of fuel, whilst stealing suspicious side-eyed glances at their new drone accompaniment.

"Right", he stated warily, "It does not appear to be immediately deadly. I still don't really trust it though", he sauntered over to Lucinda, pointing with a thumb over his shoulder at the wrecked rig, "Anyways, we do our usual thing then? You turn over the rig and that poor frozen sod over there, we split the earnings half-and-half", Bobby-Jack nodded towards the corpse.

"As for me, I've got the usual survival-aids to inject."

No immediate change could be seen or felt, but Bobby-Jack quickly noticed that the internal, pressurized cysts usually filled by caustic bio-acids were starting to differentiate in color and feel. Some of them felt sticky, now, very much so, whilst others... well, Bobby-Jack had met enough sorry folk in his life to know what hallucinogens felt like.

Well, at least he carried a veritable arsenal of chemical weaponry with himself wherever he went, now.

She makes her way back to the fallen rig without a second glance at the pilot's steaming corpse. One hand is idly pressed against an entry wound over her right hip. From off to one side Grumps congratulates her and lets her know he's unpacking his medkit.

Scramble cocks her head idly trying to pick out the wrecker's form from the camouflage. Hard to read body language when your sight is trying to tell you they don't have a body. After a eye strain inducing moment she grunts and turns back to the panel she had been prying open on the wrecked rig before all this. "Yea sov, you do you."

A bolt pings loose and then another. Success!

Salvage: 7d6 24

She gathers up an armful of valuable components. She pauses again and turns back to Grumps. "Feels akilter monopolizing a haul like this. Here catch." Scramble tosses 5 luxe worth of scrap to Grumps. "Call it appreciation of mutual sanity."

Stev rolled and stretched his shoulders, diagnostic warnings popping up in his modified eyes as he did so. Looks like he still needed a lot in the way of repairs. Well, healing. Sure, he was pretty aug-ed up, but he wasn't that far along that it was repairs he needed.

"Good thing there's sponsors around, right?" Stev grinned as he nodded at the camera. Not that the grin was exactly visible under the plating and shadow, but it was there. "Alright, medkit, let's see whaet you've got."

Stev cracked the kit open, and jabbed the syringe into his arm, unleashing a stream of nanites, and wow did it ever feel good watching the red on his internal display go to green. Then to a brilliant red again as it started flashing something about a TOXIC SHOCK ALERT that apparently carried the risk of IMMINENT LIVER LIQUEFACTION, but nothing seemed to come of that, and eventually he figured out how to dismiss it.

"I can't even begin to describe how much better that feels. You ready for some more vault-hunting?"

Cryo huffed as she stacked the loot pile next to the port-a-luxe. She and Stev had lugged a veritable mountain of dripping mutie bits, random bonez, spare gear, and gods knew what else halfway across the map. It felt good to finally take a load off, even if levering it all into the nanoforge was proving troublesome. Well, at least Rime had nice low gravity. Cryo sighed in contentment as the last item finally fell into the threshing chamber and her luxe counter began spinning wildly upward.

Interstellar Patriotische Cybernétiques
Liberté, Profiter, Fraternité


LaFayette was sitting in his office, watching the holostreams that showed everything happening on RIME. On a hunch he zoomed in on a series of cameras that seemed to show nothing really happening, but to his trained eye the lack of movement was also interesting. He leaned over and grabbed his holopad in order to adjust IPC's challenges:

[MIDGE / HP:2/3 [RIG:5/5] / MOVE: 2(1) [RIG: 3] / FUEL: 18 / LUXE: 4 / CYBER: SPINAL ANTENNA, VIRAL PROLIFERATOR]

Ouch! That arm was considerably more toasty than he preferred, and his implants were giving him virus warnings. But wait, it seemed like the virus could be corralled, contained, and... rebroadcast. He grinned behind his mask: This was why experimentals were fun.

He looked up at the Subverted Gunman: It and the other crawler had made short work of the one that hadn't succumbed. Given the injury from the exploding device, it was a good thing they had: If it had drawn a bead on him, he'd be extra crispy. So, he clambered aboard the pristine, undamaged rig, evicted the pilot, and looked north to see if there was something to wrestle. He sent word to the Crawler to hold station for now.

Wishlist:Oh hey, I'm alive! All good for now, I reckon.
