Can you remind me what it was exactly that caught my attention about these guys? I know it was surgery scars that could have pointed to possible hiding of mutations, but I can't recall what. And unless Leperflesh says otherwise I'm gonna assume he gives me heads up about their nervousness.

they're nervous because you're a techpriest who's said LET ME MAKE SURE YOUR HIDEOUS DISEASE IS TREATED, that's literally it. they are cooperative for now one of them had tiny horns (bone density on forehead), one of them had sixth fingers (bone splinters)

I definitely intended to go to the Hepaticon estate - I've been harping on it for months, actually - but Ignatius is currently occupied. If we can be sure he'll survive all bar encounters than I think it's likely we'd want to round everyone up and be on standby, because "hey guys I'm hiding inside the Hepaticon compound and found something and may need extraction" is kind of a whole-crew response thing. That said, yeah, he hasn't actually asked for extraction yet, and Ignatius certainly wouldn't have contemplating breaking in on his own. His approach would be either finding a flyer we can pilot to go land on the roof of the tower or something, or, present himself at the front door and demand access under various true and/or false pretenses. Who What Now posted:Oh, I meant a heads up that they are, in fact, nervous at all, not particularly why. I imagine Aperta wouldn't pick up on it otherwise. Yeah Ignatius is gonna go into the back room so he doesn't miss anything. We can do "oblivious cop/bad cop" or "oblivious cop/good cop" if you want.

I didn't ask for extraction because it literally would do me no good at all without you guys being in the area first and then you guys figuring out a contingency to come in when called on and not before.

Aperta also has pilot. Pilot was one of my original roles I wanted to fill. So between the two of us aiding one another we should be pretty good. I mean, besides actually getting a flier, of course. And obviously the whole "being seen" thing, but I think we can misdirect attention with the whole "there's a crazy mutant psyker machine in your tower" thing we can throw around.

I realize the game sort of demands it at this point but I have a hard time RPing my character in two separate scenes that occur at separate points in the same timeline, simultaneously. It's violating causality! But yeah he can just deal on his own. I would not recommend killing the squidmutants but you can choose between just observation & recording, some attempt at sabotage, or trying to pick off the last guy in the room before they leave. Also I think we now know what they wanted with Cizneros' brain.

Yeah, Viva is like 10 hours ahead of us and we're probably just at the point that the rest of us are receiving his "Shits weird" and "Need backup for my escape tonight" messages on repeat between both the time differences and the fact that we were all indoors in a heavily urban area with probably sketchy vox reception all the way out to the boat. We may not be able to help him with his newfound friends, but we could certainly help him exfiltrate

It's violating causality! I'm not gonna brawl 6 mutants but I feel it's best if I interrupt the ritual if at all possible. If I have to just shoot the brain in the jar and run for my life then so be it. Ideally I just wait till most leave and they leave one guy to do the drat thing and I instagib it in the surprise round. I need to reread the post a few times and make sure I got this right.

Do what you gotta do, but I think it'd be pretty useful if we could find out whose brain that is. I mean, it's the squidmutant's brain now, I mean whose brain it was. Uh, from whom the brain was taken? ...this sentence is giving me fits. If the center of the person is the brain, then it's more that they were taken from their body, but they're still the brain, right, so it's "it'd be useful if we could find out who that brain is" if the brain is still alive, but if it's dead, then it's who that brain was, as ownership of a corpse part has no "can you truly own a person" quandries attached Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Jun 23, 2017 |

If you rush in and get right on top of the mutant for a Point-Blank Semi-auto burst you'll have a TN of 90 (50 BS + 30 Point-Blank bonus + 10 Scatter quality bonus) so a not insignificant chance of hitting with all three shots, especially factoring in your free DoS, along with +3 damage for each hit because of Scatter. You stand a good chance of killing at least one half of the mutant pair and perhaps both in two rounds. And had we known you'd be fighting mutants instead of just hanging out in a tower we'd have definitely been on top of setting ourselves into the scene.

Oh and skellybones is the main one that gave me this idea so forgive me if its wrong but apparently when I got introduced or a bit after the Hepaticons went berserk because of some psychic beacon bullshit? And this machine I feel like might be the cause of that. Either that or its an elaborate brain scanning/transmitting machine.

Yes. Basically from this tower they sent some kind of psyker pulse thing that brainmashed everyone in a local bar full of hepaticons with an urge to go attack the The good thing about this is that it means we actually probably can show up at the front door and insist on immediate access to their tower. They might resist on the basis of "who are you gently caress off" but they won't resist on the basis of "that's our secret tower full of important valuable things we don't want you to see" so if we can overcome the former, we may well be able to get the Hepaticons to cooperate and even assist with further investigations. And as a reminder, if we want a submersible, it's probably just them or the Deculons who can provide one.

Only if we can't come up with a better cover story. Edit: Unless the team thinks it's a good idea/the time is right. We're looking at some pretty solid evidence here of Bad poo poo. But I was under the impression we were under orders to stay hidden as long as possible. Also, do we even have proof we work for the Inquisition?
