  1. Mar 20 19:17:44 <Roget> <<Would all available poolboyd please report to command, for an important briefing>
  2. Mar 20 19:18:16 <Alivi> Eriko looks up and sighs.
  3. Mar 20 19:18:21 <AgentFlowers> Lily looks at Ralph. "Can I go, can I can I pleeeeeaaaaase?"
  4. Mar 20 19:18:23 <Alivi> She makes her way to command.
  5. Mar 20 19:18:36 <TheRaven> Taggart heads over to the command prefab.
  6. Mar 20 19:19:18 <Roget> "Don't straib yourselb ib you do..."
  7. Mar 20 19:20:18 <AgentFlowers> "I promise! Thank you!" Lily runs to Command.
  8. Mar 20 19:23:22 <PresidentEvil> Snow is falling tonight. Although it's relatively warm compared to the past few months, there's a strong windchill, and occasional heavy gusts whip the snow into your eyes.
  9. Mar 20 19:23:42 <Roget> There's a thin man standing outside command.
  10. Mar 20 19:24:48 <PresidentEvil> He seems largely unaffected by the cold.
  11. Mar 20 19:26:29 <TheRaven> Taggart arrives, grumbling about the weather as always.
  12. Mar 20 19:26:56 <AgentFlowers> Lily arrives and stands next to Taggart, her hair pulled back in a ponytail.
  13. Mar 20 19:27:47 <Gara> Loren goes to command.
  14. Mar 20 19:27:58 <Alivi> Eriko sighs.
  15. Mar 20 19:28:54 <PresidentEvil> "Is that everyone?" the thin man asks. "Very well. I'll get right to the point, since you have a lot of work to do tonight."
  16. Mar 20 19:29:28 <Alivi> "We do?"
  17. Mar 20 19:29:29 * BiggerJ (~BiggerJ@synIRC-BC489D4C.nowhere-else.org) has joined
  18. Mar 20 19:31:17 <Roget> "Yes, we do." the guy coughs, then resumes speaking. "Our recon teams have noted a larger proportion of pool monsters outside of containment than we had previously expected. So, we are enlisting you."
  19. Mar 20 19:32:00 <Roget> "We will be putting up a list of known anomalies, and you will be rewarded for helping us contain them."
  20. Mar 20 19:32:09 <TheRaven> "Rewarded?"
  21. Mar 20 19:32:28 <PresidentEvil> As he speaks the door behind him opens and a short, portly fellow in a security uniform exits, standing behind Dr. Bland.
  22. Mar 20 19:32:30 <Alivi> "Wow..."
  23. Mar 20 19:32:36 <AgentFlowers> "Oh, cool."
  24. Mar 20 19:33:32 <Roget> Dr. Bland nods to the security guy. "You will now be briefed on tonight's engagement."
  25. Mar 20 19:34:21 <PresidentEvil> He steps forward, adjusting his hat. Most of the security personnel present will recognize him as Randy, one of the desk officers.
  26. Mar 20 19:35:19 <Roget> Bland goes back inside command
  27. Mar 20 19:35:48 <PresidentEvil> He clears his throat. "Yes, thank you Dr. Bland. Ever since the Incident, most of the escaped critters have been fairly docile by SCP standards."
  28. Mar 20 19:36:40 <PresidentEvil> "They'll still eat your face off, make no mistake, but they've been reluctant to range too far from the Pool, seemingly. Recently that seems to have changed."
  29. Mar 20 19:37:35 <PresidentEvil> "Reports are trickling in about hunters or hikers from the nearby towns disappearing, and for once these disappearances aren't our fault. We've been burying motion sensors and think we have a contact at... hang on..."
  30. Mar 20 19:38:42 <PresidentEvil> Somewhat clumsily, Randy extricates a map from his jacket and unfolds it. "This location." He points to a line of arrows with times written next to them. There's an area circled next to the most recent time.
  31. Mar 20 19:40:22 <TheRaven> Would Taggart be familiar with the location from patrol?
  32. Mar 20 19:40:56 <PresidentEvil> Not foot patrol. It's pretty far, but you could reach it in good time with a vehicle.
  33. Mar 20 19:41:10 <TheRaven> "Transportation?"
  34. Mar 20 19:41:36 <Alivi> Eriko feels out of place on this mission.
  35. Mar 20 19:42:04 <AgentFlowers> "I'll drive!" Lily puts her hand up.
  36. Mar 20 19:42:15 * BiggerJ has quit (Client exited)
  37. Mar 20 19:42:38 <PresidentEvil> "Jeep from the motor pool. The maintenance guys want you to bring it back in one piece and not on fire, so... there's that."
  38. Mar 20 19:43:12 <PresidentEvil> "And research wants a live specimen, if possible. Any questions?"
  39. Mar 20 19:43:36 <TheRaven> "Alive if possible. Any capture equipment?"
  40. Mar 20 19:43:40 <AgentFlowers> "Standard witness procedure?"
  41. Mar 20 19:44:51 <PresidentEvil> "There's a cage in the back... for specimens, of course. And there should be a couple head bags in the glove box." Randy produces the keys from another jacket pocket and passes them to Lily. Taggart gets the map.
  42. Mar 20 19:45:16 <PresidentEvil> #redpool everyone.
  43. Mar 20 19:46:42 <AgentFlowers> Lily takes the keys. "Woot!"
  44. Mar 20 19:46:59 <TheRaven> "I mean like net launchers or something. Getting close enough to cage it if it's hostile might be difficult."
  45. Mar 20 19:47:53 <PresidentEvil> "Fraid maintenance didn't want to let any of the good stuff go without burying you in paperwork. Apparently your Task Force has a bit of a reputation when it comes to requisitions."
  46. Mar 20 19:47:59 * Soulless has quit (Ping timeout)
  47. Mar 20 19:48:38 <PresidentEvil> "Somethin' about half their budget goin towards subs, I think?"
  48. Mar 20 19:49:13 <AgentFlowers> Lily looks at Taggart for clarification.
  49. Mar 20 19:49:17 * Mr_Wilt (just@wanted.help.with.my.cat) has joined
  50. Mar 20 19:49:17 * ChanServ sets mode +a on #redpool Mr_Wilt
  51. Mar 20 19:49:17 * ChanServ gives channel operator status to Mr_Wilt
  52. Mar 20 19:49:19 * Alivi (~Alivi@synIRC-2497B8F8.carolina.res.rr.com) has joined
  53. Mar 20 19:49:46 <TheRaven> "You might say that. Alright, let's go."
  54. Mar 20 19:50:18 <AgentFlowers> Lily heads off to the motor pool, keys in hand.
  55. Mar 20 19:50:24 <TheRaven> Taggart follows.
  56. Mar 20 19:50:38 <Gara> So does Loren!
  57. Mar 20 19:54:10 <Alivi> Eriko follows along
  58. Mar 20 19:54:21 <PresidentEvil> You're directed to the Jeep without much fanfare. It seems kinda beat up.
  59. Mar 20 19:55:27 <AgentFlowers> "...I love it..."
  60. Mar 20 19:55:38 <Alivi> "Wow…"
  61. Mar 20 19:56:10 <AgentFlowers> "Oh my god I love it, look at it it's even the kind without doors!" Lily squeals and hops into the driver's seat.
  62. Mar 20 19:57:45 <PresidentEvil> The interior is similarly roughed up, but she's got fat snow tires and a bull bar mounted to the front. This might not be that bad...
  63. Mar 20 19:58:00 <Gara> Loren takes the passenger seat!
  64. Mar 20 19:58:20 <TheRaven> Taggart hops in the back. "Hope you know how to drive one of these things, Lily."
  65. Mar 20 19:58:52 <Alivi> Eriko jumps in as well.
  66. Mar 20 19:59:05 <AgentFlowers> "Pff, totally. You think we had anything /but/ snow and four wheel drive in Pickle Lake, Kenora?"
  67. Mar 20 19:59:54 <AgentFlowers> She starts up the Jeep.
  68. Mar 20 20:00:26 <TheRaven> "Point taken."
  69. Mar 20 20:00:55 <PresidentEvil> The engine rumbles to life, Lily.
  70. Mar 20 20:01:47 <Alivi> "This is going to be interesting..."
  71. Mar 20 20:02:23 <AgentFlowers> "Alright, e'rrybody hang on to your butts!" She shifts it into gear!
  72. Mar 20 20:02:56 <Roget> (taking the reigns for a minute while pres takes a call)
  73. Mar 20 20:03:34 <Roget> The car lurches forward, and begins to traverse along the snowy ground at terrific speed
  74. Mar 20 20:08:17 <PresidentEvil> It's not too soon before you've left the base behind, and you're lurching down a rough, snowy back road into the cold night.
  75. Mar 20 20:11:36 <AgentFlowers> Lily flicks the fog lights on. "Damn, it's coming down..."
  76. Mar 20 20:11:57 <PresidentEvil> It's freezing, too.
  77. Mar 20 20:12:21 <Alivi> "Wow…cold..."
  78. Mar 20 20:12:49 <AgentFlowers> "I think the heater's busted."
  79. Mar 20 20:13:26 <TheRaven> Taggart pulls on the balaclava he's been keeping handy all winter.
  80. Mar 20 20:14:30 <PresidentEvil> The road becomes progressively more winding and slippery the further you go. Perception, everyone.
  81. Mar 20 20:15:00 <TheRaven> 6df+6 wut
  82. Mar 20 20:15:01 <Glacon> TheRaven: wut: 7 (6df+6=0, 0, +, 0, 0, 0)
  83. Mar 20 20:15:09 <AgentFlowers> 6df+5 Behold! Ordinary motorists!
  84. Mar 20 20:15:10 <Glacon> AgentFlowers: Behold! Ordinary motorists!: 9 (6df+5=+, 0, +, +, +, 0)
  85. Mar 20 20:15:18 <Gara> 6df+4 Sure.
  86. Mar 20 20:15:19 <Glacon> Gara: Sure.: 5 (6df+4=+, -, +, -, 0, +)
  87. Mar 20 20:15:22 <Alivi> 6df+8
  88. Mar 20 20:15:22 <Glacon> Alivi: 8 (6df+8=+, +, -, 0, -, 0)
  89. Mar 20 20:16:55 <PresidentEvil> Lily, you think you see something moving out of the corner of your eye, but it's hard to tell what.
  90. Mar 20 20:17:38 <AgentFlowers> She hits the brakes, slowing the Jeep to a lurching stop. "You guys see that?"
  91. Mar 20 20:18:20 <TheRaven> "See what?"
  92. Mar 20 20:18:23 <Alivi> Eriko looks around, "See what?"
  93. Mar 20 20:18:39 <Gara> "See what?"
  94. Mar 20 20:19:17 <AgentFlowers> "Thought I saw something moving over there." She points.
  95. Mar 20 20:19:29 <PresidentEvil> The jeep's brakes and tires protest, but you manage to bring it to a stop safely.
  96. Mar 20 20:20:57 <PresidentEvil> Unfortunately, you still can't see anything through the snow and the dark...
  97. Mar 20 20:21:03 <Alivi> "Should we check it out?"
  98. Mar 20 20:21:13 <Alivi> Eriko takes out her flashlight and shines it in that direction
  99. Mar 20 20:22:07 <AgentFlowers> "Yeah. Even if it isn't what we're looking for, it could be a hiker we need to bag." She shuts off the engine.
  100. Mar 20 20:23:15 <Alivi> "Ok..."
  101. Mar 20 20:23:24 <Gara> "Sure."
  102. Mar 20 20:23:50 <TheRaven> "Alright, let's check it out." Taggart exits the vehicle and starts looking for tracks or anything.
  103. Mar 20 20:24:10 <Alivi> Eriko gets out of the vehicle and shines her flashlight towards the direction they are looking at.
  104. Mar 20 20:24:10 <PresidentEvil> Survival, Taggart and anyone else.
  105. Mar 20 20:24:44 <AgentFlowers> 6df+5 She gets out and flicks on her light.
  106. Mar 20 20:24:45 <Glacon> AgentFlowers: She gets out and flicks on her light.: 6 (6df+5=0, +, +, -, 0, 0)
  107. Mar 20 20:24:46 <TheRaven> 6df+6 whee
  108. Mar 20 20:24:47 <Glacon> TheRaven: whee: 7 (6df+6=+, 0, +, -, -, +)
  109. Mar 20 20:26:16 <PresidentEvil> Lily, you can see that there's been some sort of recent disturbance here. The tracks have been mostly covered up by snow, so you can't follow them, but Taggart barely picks out a trail...
  110. Mar 20 20:26:38 <AgentFlowers> "You see this Taggart?"
  111. Mar 20 20:28:08 <TheRaven> "Got a trail here."
  112. Mar 20 20:28:37 <AgentFlowers> "Awesome."
  113. Mar 20 20:28:42 <Gara> "Lead the way."
  114. Mar 20 20:28:48 <PresidentEvil> You can't make out what sort of tracks they are.. but they lead east, down a slight slope and into a stand of trees.
  115. Mar 20 20:29:06 <TheRaven> He follows it, trying to make out what the tracks look like.
  116. Mar 20 20:29:39 <AgentFlowers> Lily follows Taggart, attaching her light to her rifle so she can use both.
  117. Mar 20 20:29:55 <Alivi> Eriko follows Lily and Taggart using her flashlight.
  118. Mar 20 20:31:26 <PresidentEvil> As you do, the wind picks up whistling through the trees. Your flashlights are the only light source for a couple miles...
  119. Mar 20 20:32:08 <PresidentEvil> Perception, kids.
  120. Mar 20 20:32:22 <TheRaven> 6df+10 tagging What The Hell Was That
  121. Mar 20 20:32:22 <Glacon> TheRaven: tagging What The Hell Was That: 10 (6df+10=-, -, -, +, +, +)
  122. Mar 20 20:32:31 <Gara> 4df+4 Sure.
  123. Mar 20 20:32:31 <Glacon> Gara: Sure.: 7 (4df+4=+, +, +, 0)
  124. Mar 20 20:33:19 <Alivi> 6df+8 totally not scared...nope
  125. Mar 20 20:33:19 <Glacon> Alivi: totally not scared...nope: 7 (6df+8=0, -, +, 0, 0, -)
  126. Mar 20 20:33:39 <AgentFlowers> 6df+5 What are we following?
  127. Mar 20 20:33:39 <Glacon> AgentFlowers: What are we following?: 7 (6df+5=0, +, 0, +, -, +)
  128. Mar 20 20:34:30 <PresidentEvil> There's a noise coming from your left. Taggart, it sounds like... is that chewing?
  129. Mar 20 20:34:50 <TheRaven> He holds up a fist, signaling stop. "Hear that?"
  130. Mar 20 20:35:02 <Gara> "No."
  131. Mar 20 20:35:16 <PresidentEvil> Everyone hears it.
  132. Mar 20 20:35:30 <Alivi> Eriko shakes her head. "No-" She stops her eyes widening
  133. Mar 20 20:35:31 <PresidentEvil> Taggart's the only one who can hear the chewing though.
  134. Mar 20 20:35:42 <AgentFlowers> Lily stops. "What is that...?"
  135. Mar 20 20:35:59 <Gara> Redcat. "Yeah, I hear something."
  136. Mar 20 20:37:47 <PresidentEvil> The noise continues, guys. What are you going to do?
  137. Mar 20 20:38:33 <AgentFlowers> "Let's check it out."
  138. Mar 20 20:38:34 <TheRaven> Taggart brings up his rifle and looks towards the sound. "Someone hit it with a light."
  139. Mar 20 20:38:39 <Alivi> Eriko shines her flashlight towards the direction
  140. Mar 20 20:38:57 <AgentFlowers> Lily brings up her rifle, shining the light towards the noise.
  141. Mar 20 20:39:35 <PresidentEvil> Is that... blood?
  142. Mar 20 20:39:56 <PresidentEvil> And there! That snowdrift looks roughly man-sized.
  143. Mar 20 20:40:00 <Gara> Loren opens her knife, ready to do stabbing.
  144. Mar 20 20:40:16 <Alivi> "Want me to go check it out?"
  145. Mar 20 20:40:26 <Gara> "No."
  146. Mar 20 20:40:43 <Alivi> Eriko nods.
  147. Mar 20 20:40:48 <AgentFlowers> "Eriko, you stay back, we don't want you getting hurt." She hold out a fist to Taggart, rock paper scissors?
  148. Mar 20 20:40:57 <Alivi> Eriko sighs, she wants to help.
  149. Mar 20 20:41:12 <TheRaven> Taggart just heads forward. "The hell?"
  150. Mar 20 20:41:44 <AgentFlowers> She shrugs and heads forward with him, keeping her light on it.
  151. Mar 20 20:41:52 <Alivi> Eriko looks at Loren.
  152. Mar 20 20:42:06 <Gara> She slowly starts forward.
  153. Mar 20 20:42:40 <Alivi> Eriko sighs and follows Loren.
  154. Mar 20 20:42:41 <PresidentEvil> Stealth, anyone who's moving forward
  155. Mar 20 20:42:52 <Gara> 6df+4 Sure.
  156. Mar 20 20:42:53 <Glacon> Gara: Sure.: 4 (6df+4=-, +, +, -, +, -)
  157. Mar 20 20:42:55 <TheRaven> 6df WELP
  158. Mar 20 20:42:55 <Glacon> TheRaven: WELP: -2 (6df=-, 0, 0, -, +, -)
  159. Mar 20 20:42:58 <AgentFlowers> 6df
  160. Mar 20 20:42:58 <Glacon> AgentFlowers: 4 (6df=+, +, +, 0, +, 0)
  161. Mar 20 20:43:15 <Alivi> 6df
  162. Mar 20 20:43:16 <Glacon> Alivi: 2 (6df=-, +, +, +, +, -)
  163. Mar 20 20:43:55 <TheRaven> Apparently Taggart still hasn't learned enough stealth from Stoat.
  164. Mar 20 20:44:02 * Soulless (soulless@slendermansforest.dreams) has joined
  165. Mar 20 20:45:05 <PresidentEvil> Apparently, Taggart hasn't learned that awareness is the key to sneakiness. He smacks his forehead on a branch and cries out without thinking.
  166. Mar 20 20:45:29 <TheRaven> "Gh-FUCK!"
  167. Mar 20 20:46:58 <PresidentEvil> There's an abrupt stop to the chewing noises for a split second, followed by a an abrupt rustling.
  168. Mar 20 20:47:36 <AgentFlowers> Lily freezes, trying to pin whatever it is with her light.
  169. Mar 20 20:48:06 <PresidentEvil> Another flash of movement, but it's gone.
  170. Mar 20 20:48:23 <Alivi> Eriko lets out a shakey breath.
  171. Mar 20 20:48:33 <PresidentEvil> Your light shines over the snowdrift again. You think you can see a hand.
  172. Mar 20 20:48:46 <Alivi> Eriko lets out a small gasp.
  173. Mar 20 20:48:52 <TheRaven> "Oh shit."
  174. Mar 20 20:49:13 <AgentFlowers> "Eriko, stay back," Lily comes up on the snowdrift.
  175. Mar 20 20:49:26 <PresidentEvil> Man, that's a lot of blood.
  176. Mar 20 20:49:34 <Alivi> Eriko doesn't move she is still at the back of the group.
  177. Mar 20 20:50:41 <AgentFlowers> "Eriko, shine your light on this, Taggart, cover me..." She kneels down to brush the snow away.
  178. Mar 20 20:51:50 <PresidentEvil> Yeesh! A face stares back at you, frozen in pain and fear. Male, late 20s.
  179. Mar 20 20:51:50 <Alivi> Eriko nods and does so, shining her light in the direction
  180. Mar 20 20:51:58 <Alivi> Eriko closes her eyes.
  181. Mar 20 20:52:40 <PresidentEvil> His arm is poking out of the snowbank... or was. Most of it's been gnawed clean. The lower arm bones have been broken and their marrow sucked.
  182. Mar 20 20:53:38 <AgentFlowers> "...Crisse..." She pulls her radio. <Command, this is Agent MacDonald, we've got a stiff.>
  183. Mar 20 20:54:08 <PresidentEvil> <<We copy, Agent. Approximate cause and time of death?>>
  184. Mar 20 20:54:39 <Alivi> Eriko opens her eyes and looks elsewhere, anywhere but where the carnage is. She decides to focus on Loren. Since Loren is in front of her.
  185. Mar 20 20:54:52 <AgentFlowers> <<Cause...Partially eaten. Time, less than an hour ago?>>
  186. Mar 20 20:55:33 <PresidentEvil> A brief pause, then...
  187. Mar 20 20:55:59 <Gara> She looks at the body. "Damn shame. We have to find whatever this thing is."
  188. Mar 20 20:56:00 <PresidentEvil> <<Uh, Agents, we're going to need you to examine the body for any anomalous or incriminating marks or evidence.>>
  189. Mar 20 20:56:10 * Notify: Positronium is offline (Syn)
  190. Mar 20 20:56:18 <TheRaven> <<His bloody arm is chewed off, isn't that good enough?"
  191. Mar 20 20:56:20 <TheRaven> >>
  192. Mar 20 20:56:40 <AgentFlowers> <<Roger wilco, Command.>>
  193. Mar 20 20:56:48 <Alivi> "I….I…can…try…" Eriko is speaking very very quietly.
  194. Mar 20 20:57:06 <PresidentEvil> <<If there's anything out of the ordinary for an animal attack, mark the cadaver with a radio tag from your vehicle.>>
  195. Mar 20 20:57:25 <AgentFlowers> "We need you Eriko, you can do this." Lily gets up out of her way.
  196. Mar 20 20:57:35 <PresidentEvil> <<Otherwise, you are to leave the body for the local wildlife and law enforcement. Do you copy?>>
  197. Mar 20 20:57:45 <PresidentEvil> Redcat law enforcement.
  198. Mar 20 20:57:53 <TheRaven> "Animal attack my ass..."
  199. Mar 20 20:58:13 <AgentFlowers> <<Roger that Command.>>
  200. Mar 20 20:58:14 <Alivi> Eriko nods and approaches the body, she wills herself to look at it. "O-Ok…." She takes out her bag and places on some gloves.
  201. Mar 20 20:58:15 <Gara> "I will take a look."
  202. Mar 20 20:59:45 * You are now known as Garway
  203. Mar 20 21:00:48 <Alivi> 6df+12 tag what is this?
  204. Mar 20 21:00:48 <Glacon> Alivi: tag what is this?: 11 (6df+12=-, 0, -, +, 0, 0)
  205. Mar 20 21:01:33 * You are now known as Gara
  206. Mar 20 21:01:39 <PresidentEvil> These bite marks are extremely unusually shaped. In fact, you can't even begin to tell what sort of jaw shape would make these.
  207. Mar 20 21:01:54 <PresidentEvil> (Pause a sec)
  208. Mar 20 21:03:16 <PresidentEvil> The killing blow appears to have been a single bite mark to the leg, severing the artery and tearing out a huge chunk of muscle. The victim likely crawled or limped to this location before expiring, but there's not enough blood for a death by exsanguination.
  209. Mar 20 21:03:54 <PresidentEvil> In addition, the wound looks inflamed and reddish, almost like it's infected...
  210. Mar 20 21:03:58 <PresidentEvil> That's all.
  211. Mar 20 21:04:27 * NullAshton has quit (Ping timeout)
  212. Mar 20 21:04:52 <Alivi> Eriko takes a shakey breath, "N-not normal..."
  213. Mar 20 21:05:13 <Gara> "Tag it."
  214. Mar 20 21:05:45 <AgentFlowers> "Of course not..." <<Command, this is Agent MacDonald, situation looks anomalous. Tagging for pickup.>>
  215. Mar 20 21:06:40 <Alivi> "Don't touch it either… infected maybe..."
  216. Mar 20 21:06:45 <PresidentEvil> <<Understood, we'll have cleanup out there within 24 hours. Any sign of the anomalous creatures?>>
  217. Mar 20 21:07:03 <TheRaven> "Infected? Oh, I hope this is something as simple as zombies..."
  218. Mar 20 21:07:29 <Alivi> Eriko carefully backs away from it. And starts to carefully peel off her gloves.
  219. Mar 20 21:07:46 <PresidentEvil> Carefully roll perception, Eriko Taggart and Loren.
  220. Mar 20 21:07:51 <PresidentEvil> Lily is distracted by her conversation.
  221. Mar 20 21:08:12 <Gara> 6df+8 Tagging Curiosity.

  228. Mar 20 21:08:57 <AgentFlowers> <<Creatures should still be in the area, tracking for retrieval, will report, over.>>
  229. Mar 20 21:09:58 <PresidentEvil> Rustling noises from the undergrowth. They seem to be coming from all around... probably because they have you surrounded. Crap.
  230. Mar 20 21:10:31 <Alivi> Eriko looks around, "u-um..."
  231. Mar 20 21:10:48 <TheRaven> "...shit. Where's Greg when you need him?"
  232. Mar 20 21:11:13 <PresidentEvil> Probably chain-smoking and being surly, Taggart. It's kind of his thing.
  233. Mar 20 21:11:31 <PresidentEvil> The noises seem to be getting slowly, but steadily closer...
  234. Mar 20 21:12:10 <AgentFlowers> Lily clips her radio back to her webbing. "What's up?"
  235. Mar 20 21:12:22 <Alivi> "N-Noises…all around..."
  236. Mar 20 21:12:37 <Gara> "Jeep. Now."
  237. Mar 20 21:12:46 <TheRaven> "Lily, you have a full-auto switch installed on that thing? Because this might be the time to use it..."
  238. Mar 20 21:13:06 <Alivi> Eriko looks to Loren, "W-what?"
  239. Mar 20 21:13:08 <AgentFlowers> "Just burst fire..."
  240. Mar 20 21:13:46 <TheRaven> "Alright, everyone go for the jeep. Lily, you lead. I'll take the rear."
  241. Mar 20 21:14:08 <Gara> Loren waits for Lily to lead.
  242. Mar 20 21:14:15 <PresidentEvil> Who is closest to the jeep at this moment?
  243. Mar 20 21:14:19 <AgentFlowers> Is there a gap in the group that they could run through?
  244. Mar 20 21:14:31 <PresidentEvil> You don't know. You can't see them.
  245. Mar 20 21:14:54 <PresidentEvil> I assume Lily would be closest, having hung back a little to radio command?
  246. Mar 20 21:15:09 <AgentFlowers> "Alright, lets move," Lily raises her rifle and heads back towards the Jeep.
  247. Mar 20 21:15:25 <Alivi> Eriko nods. She waits for Loren to go.
  248. Mar 20 21:15:28 <Gara> Loren follows, listening for movement.
  249. Mar 20 21:15:39 <PresidentEvil> Lily, perception.
  250. Mar 20 21:15:40 <TheRaven> Taggart does what he said he would.
  251. Mar 20 21:15:41 <Alivi> Eriko follows Loren since Taggart is behind her.
  252. Mar 20 21:16:04 <AgentFlowers> 6df+5 shitshitshit
  253. Mar 20 21:16:04 <Glacon> AgentFlowers: shitshitshit: 5 (6df+5=-, 0, -, +, 0, +)
  254. Mar 20 21:16:45 <PresidentEvil> Lily, you have just enough time to notice a low lump under the snow that wasn't there before.
  255. Mar 20 21:17:03 <AgentFlowers> She holds up her fist to signal a stop.
  256. Mar 20 21:17:16 <Alivi> Eriko doesn't understand, "Lily?"
  257. Mar 20 21:17:36 <PresidentEvil> Then it hisses and something white and lizardy bursts out of the snow, hideous mandibles going for your face.
  258. Mar 20 21:17:41 <PresidentEvil> Agility to dodge.
  259. Mar 20 21:17:47 <Gara> Everyone?
  260. Mar 20 21:18:20 <PresidentEvil> Just Lily.
  261. Mar 20 21:18:20 <AgentFlowers> 6df+6 "Holy...!"
  262. Mar 20 21:18:20 <Glacon> AgentFlowers: "Holy...!": 7 (6df+6=0, +, -, 0, +, 0)
  263. Mar 20 21:18:29 <PresidentEvil> 6df+6 HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
  264. Mar 20 21:18:30 <Glacon> PresidentEvil: HSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS: 8 (6df+6=+, +, 0, -, 0, +)
  265. Mar 20 21:19:51 <PresidentEvil> It slams into your sternum with a heavy whump, knocking you to the ground. You get a better look at that fucking mouth as it opens to take a bite out of your jugular hot saliva dripping onto your face.
  266. Mar 20 21:20:07 <PresidentEvil> There's something bulbous at the back, but you don't have time to worry about that. Defend yourself!
  267. Mar 20 21:20:37 <TheRaven> Could anyone else attack it without hitting her?
  268. Mar 20 21:20:45 <Alivi> "Lily!"
  269. Mar 20 21:20:53 <PresidentEvil> In melee, sure. If you shoot you risk friendly fire.
  270. Mar 20 21:21:34 <Gara> 6df+5 Stabs in the neck.
  271. Mar 20 21:21:35 <Glacon> Gara: Stabs in the neck.: 6 (6df+5=0, +, 0, +, 0, -)
  272. Mar 20 21:21:55 <PresidentEvil> ...After Flowers has resolved this roll.
  273. Mar 20 21:22:01 <AgentFlowers> 6df+6 Get off!
  274. Mar 20 21:22:01 <Glacon> AgentFlowers: Get off!: 4 (6df+6=-, 0, 0, -, -, +)

  277. Mar 20 21:23:19 * BiggerJ has quit (Client exited)
  278. Mar 20 21:24:30 <PresidentEvil> Molten pain shoots through your body as the creature's jaws clamp down on your shoulder. -2 body.
  279. Mar 20 21:24:31 <PresidentEvil> AND
  280. Mar 20 21:24:49 <PresidentEvil> Due to the pain, +1 to the difficulty of any maneuvers you attempt
  281. Mar 20 21:25:12 <TheRaven> Taggart runs up to Lily, trying to get an angle for a shot.
  282. Mar 20 21:25:18 <PresidentEvil> 6df+5 and now for Loren's roll...
  283. Mar 20 21:25:19 <Glacon> PresidentEvil: and now for Loren's roll...: 2 (6df+5=0, -, 0, -, 0, -)
  284. Mar 20 21:25:24 <Alivi> Eriko stands there in shock.
  285. Mar 20 21:25:42 <AgentFlowers> Lily screams as the thing's teeth sink in!
  286. Mar 20 21:26:21 <PresidentEvil> The knife sinks into the creature's back... aproximately where the heart might be, were it a terrestrial reptile. It lets go of Lily and tries to scamper off with a pained screech.
  287. Mar 20 21:26:40 <PresidentEvil> The wound is gushing blood, thick stuff.
  288. Mar 20 21:26:49 <PresidentEvil> Taggart was next, I believe?
  289. Mar 20 21:27:25 <TheRaven> He'll leave the creature alone, instead getting Lily back on her feet and running for the jeep.
  290. Mar 20 21:28:11 <AgentFlowers> Lily leans heavily on Taggart, her blood soaking his jacket.
  291. Mar 20 21:28:37 <PresidentEvil> Eriko, since you're not fighting, perception.
  292. Mar 20 21:28:42 <Alivi> 6df+8
  293. Mar 20 21:28:42 <Glacon> Alivi: 5 (6df+8=-, -, -, -, 0, +)
  294. Mar 20 21:29:27 <TheRaven> He's heading to the jeep as quickly as possible, laying down suppressive fire with his rifle, not aiming for anything in particular.
  295. Mar 20 21:29:35 <PresidentEvil> Eri, 4 more of the creatures have emerged from the snow and brush behind the group
  296. Mar 20 21:29:47 <Gara> Loren is moving behind them.
  297. Mar 20 21:29:57 <Alivi> Eriko turns around, "L-Loren!"
  298. Mar 20 21:30:12 <Alivi> Eriko starts to run after Loren, Taggart and Lily.
  299. Mar 20 21:30:17 <Gara> Behind Taggart and Lily. "What?"
  300. Mar 20 21:30:27 <TheRaven> "Go! Go!"
  301. Mar 20 21:30:28 <PresidentEvil> As Loren turns around, and before Eriko turns to flee
  302. Mar 20 21:30:30 <PresidentEvil> PAUSE
  303. Mar 20 21:31:28 <PresidentEvil> One of the creatures opens its mouth and lets out a loud whistling noise. As you look in its mouth, you guys notice that the bulb like structure has inflated and now it looks almost exactly like a human infant's head...
  304. Mar 20 21:32:14 <PresidentEvil> And... go.
  305. Mar 20 21:32:24 <Alivi> "Behind us!"
  306. Mar 20 21:32:42 * Roget is now known as Roget|dontpmmeimafk
  307. Mar 20 21:32:59 <Gara> "Just run!"
  308. Mar 20 21:33:08 <TheRaven> How far to the jeep?
  309. Mar 20 21:33:19 <Alivi> Eriko tries to run as fast as she can
  310. Mar 20 21:33:54 <PresidentEvil> Maybe 50 meters. Agility, guys.
  311. Mar 20 21:34:02 <Alivi> 6df+6
  312. Mar 20 21:34:02 <Glacon> Alivi: 7 (6df+6=+, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
  313. Mar 20 21:34:14 <Gara> 6df+6 Running time is now.
  314. Mar 20 21:34:14 <Glacon> Gara: Running time is now.: 9 (6df+6=+, 0, +, 0, 0, +)
  315. Mar 20 21:34:15 <PresidentEvil> Damn, look at Eri go.
  316. Mar 20 21:34:17 <AgentFlowers> 6df+6 fuck it hurts
  317. Mar 20 21:34:17 <Glacon> AgentFlowers: fuck it hurts: 4 (6df+6=+, -, 0, -, -, 0)
  318. Mar 20 21:34:35 <TheRaven> 6df+9 tagging I Know What I'm Doing, second AP, maybe applies as a bonus to Lily since Taggart is helping her?
  319. Mar 20 21:34:35 <Glacon> TheRaven: tagging I Know What I'm Doing, second AP, maybe applies as a bonus to Lily since Taggart is helping her?: 5 (6df+9=0, -, -, -, -, 0)
  320. Mar 20 21:35:05 <PresidentEvil> Unless you're specifically doing a maneuver, fraid not.
  321. Mar 20 21:35:19 <PresidentEvil> 6df+3 fortunately they're ambush, not endurance, predators
  322. Mar 20 21:35:19 <Glacon> PresidentEvil: fortunately they're ambush, not endurance, predators: 2 (6df+3=0, -, +, -, 0, 0)
  323. Mar 20 21:36:22 <PresidentEvil> The creatures give chase, but like most real lizards they're not endurance runners, and you make it to the Jeep with time to spare.
  324. Mar 20 21:36:32 <PresidentEvil> A few seconds, at least.
  325. Mar 20 21:36:37 <Gara> Who arrives first?
  326. Mar 20 21:36:51 <TheRaven> Taggart hauls Lily into the back seat. "Eriko, Loren, one of you is driving!"
  327. Mar 20 21:36:57 <PresidentEvil> Loren, then Eriko, Taggart, and finally Lily.
  328. Mar 20 21:37:04 <Alivi> "W-What?! I cannot drive!"
  329. Mar 20 21:37:12 <Gara> She gets in the front, and turns the key.
  330. Mar 20 21:37:15 <Gara> It's car time.
  331. Mar 20 21:37:18 <Alivi> Eriko goes to the passenger spot.
  332. Mar 20 21:37:35 <AgentFlowers> Lily squeezes Taggart's hand. "Taggart..."
  333. Mar 20 21:38:12 <PresidentEvil> The engine revs to life. As Taggart slams the doors shut, one of the things rears upright, spreads its mandibles, and presses its face up against the window glass.
  334. Mar 20 21:38:20 <Alivi> Eriko turns around, can she science anything that might help analyze what it is and what they can do about the pain/infection that might develop.
  335. Mar 20 21:38:28 <TheRaven> 6df+10 fuck your shit! (ranged)
  336. Mar 20 21:38:28 <Glacon> TheRaven: fuck your shit! (ranged): 5 (6df+10=0, -, -, -, -, -)
  337. Mar 20 21:38:46 <PresidentEvil> The "tongue" is fully inflated, so he basically sees a slimy, slightly scaly baby head pressed into the glass.
  338. Mar 20 21:39:58 <TheRaven> 6df+10 rerolling, because Glacon is a bitch.
  339. Mar 20 21:39:58 <Glacon> TheRaven: rerolling, because Glacon is a bitch.: 10 (6df+10=-, +, -, 0, 0, +)
  340. Mar 20 21:44:34 <PresidentEvil> The glass cracks into a spiderweb around the bullet hole, the window becomes completely covered in dark blood and bits of bone, and the creature slumps down.
  341. Mar 20 21:44:48 <TheRaven> "Drive!"
  342. Mar 20 21:44:53 <AgentFlowers> "Have to...contain one...!"
  343. Mar 20 21:44:59 <PresidentEvil> Eriko can now use medicine to diagnose Lily.
  344. Mar 20 21:45:06 <Alivi> "No Lily! We need to get you seen..."
  345. Mar 20 21:45:09 <TheRaven> It is worth noting that the gunshot is very loud inside the jeep.
  346. Mar 20 21:45:28 <PresidentEvil> But if she wants to actually treat her, there will be a penalty for doing so from the front seat while Lily is in back.
  347. Mar 20 21:45:32 <Alivi> Eriko flinches at the gunshot.
  348. Mar 20 21:46:07 <Gara> Driving time is now.
  349. Mar 20 21:46:31 <PresidentEvil> Otherwise, she can tell her symptoms look very similar: reddish inflammation around the wound area.
  350. Mar 20 21:46:44 <Alivi> "It's getting inflamed again..."
  351. Mar 20 21:46:45 <Gara> She drives back to base, fast enough to get there, but not die by car accident.
  352. Mar 20 21:47:19 <PresidentEvil> Not quite as bad as in the dead guy. Loren, the tires spin against the snow for a few gut-wrenching seconds, then you're off into the night, tear-assing back to base.
  353. Mar 20 21:47:52 <AgentFlowers> Lily's still gushing blood all over Taggart.
  354. Mar 20 21:48:01 <PresidentEvil> She's not wounded /that/ bad...
  355. Mar 20 21:48:07 <PresidentEvil> No major artery, that is.
  356. Mar 20 21:48:08 <TheRaven> He's pretty used to it.
  357. Mar 20 21:48:53 <PresidentEvil> As you drive, the Jeep's radio crackles to life. <<Agents, Command. Remote sensors just picked up gunshots, what is your status?>>
  358. Mar 20 21:49:09 <TheRaven> <<Lily's injured, we're en route to base!>>
  359. Mar 20 21:49:27 <AgentFlowers> "Taggart...this really hurts..." She tries to smile a little.
  360. Mar 20 21:50:01 <PresidentEvil> <<...Understood, Medical is standing by. What is the status of the anomalous creatures?>>
  361. Mar 20 21:50:38 <TheRaven> <<There's a whole shitload of 'em out there.>>
  362. Mar 20 21:51:48 <PresidentEvil> <<Uh, define shitload, Agent.>>
  363. Mar 20 21:51:59 <Alivi> "At least 4-5…."
  364. Mar 20 21:52:12 <TheRaven> How many did they see, roughly?
  365. Mar 20 21:52:26 <PresidentEvil> Eriko's right, 4 or 5.
  366. Mar 20 21:53:05 <TheRaven> <<Four or five that we saw, more unconfirmed. Seem to rely on ambush.>>
  367. Mar 20 21:54:03 <PresidentEvil> <<Understood. Make sure you're not followed on the way back to base, over.>>
  368. Mar 20 21:54:43 <TheRaven> Taggart looks out the rear window.
  369. Mar 20 21:55:07 <PresidentEvil> Those things scampered more than ran, Taggart. You've definitely lost them.
  370. Mar 20 21:55:14 <PresidentEvil> Especially with the pace Loren is managing.
  371. Mar 20 21:55:20 <AgentFlowers> "Ugh, shit..."
  372. Mar 20 21:55:24 <TheRaven> <<Roger, we're clear.>>
  373. Mar 20 21:56:05 <PresidentEvil> <<Understood. Gate guards have your vehicle description, they've been ordered to open for you on sight. Go directly to medical. Do you read?>>
  374. Mar 20 21:56:27 <TheRaven> <<Roger wilco.>>
  375. Mar 20 21:56:28 <PresidentEvil> You go over a particularly large bump and everyone is jostled into the air for a moment.
  376. Mar 20 21:57:02 <PresidentEvil> The rest of the ride, aside for a few more moments, seems to pass in a blur until suddenly you've returned the the gate.
  377. Mar 20 21:57:10 <AgentFlowers> "OW, fuck!"
  378. Mar 20 21:57:17 <Gara> "Fuck, sorry!"
  379. Mar 20 21:57:19 <TheRaven> "Go to med!"
  380. Mar 20 21:57:20 <PresidentEvil> The guards have indeed been expecting you and the gate slides open as promised.
  381. Mar 20 21:57:35 <Gara> She drives to med, should that be possible.
  382. Mar 20 21:57:53 <PresidentEvil> It is.
  383. Mar 20 21:58:40 <PresidentEvil> There's a pair of doctors waiting outside, as soon as you pull to a stop they've opened the door and are loading Lily onto a gurney.
  384. Mar 20 21:59:00 * Mr_Wilt is now known as Sleeping_Wilt
  385. Mar 20 22:00:05 <AgentFlowers> Lily doesn't want to let go of Taggart.
  386. Mar 20 22:00:30 <TheRaven> He stays with her as much as possible.
  387. Mar 20 22:00:34 <PresidentEvil> 6df+7 Fortunately the docs are used to uncooperative patients.
  388. Mar 20 22:00:34 <Glacon> PresidentEvil: Fortunately the docs are used to uncooperative patients.: 6 (6df+7=-, -, 0, 0, 0, +)
  389. Mar 20 22:00:58 <PresidentEvil> Lily is pried off Taggart, laid on the gurney, and wheeled into medical while the doctor checks her over.
  390. Mar 20 22:00:58 <Gara> "Eriko, I am taking us back to the garage."
  391. Mar 20 22:01:28 <Alivi> "Ok..."
  392. Mar 20 22:01:54 <TheRaven> "Eriko thinks there might be some kind of infection on the bite wounds from these things."
  393. Mar 20 22:02:10 <PresidentEvil> "This wound is becoming severely infected. When did this happen?"
  394. Mar 20 22:02:45 <AgentFlowers> "Oh, /super/..."
  395. Mar 20 22:03:18 <Gara> She drives to the garage.
  396. Mar 20 22:03:19 <TheRaven> "Not fifteen minutes ago. Things looked kind of reptilian, similar to a Komodo dragon bite, maybe?"
  397. Mar 20 22:03:28 <PresidentEvil> Lily, you're getting chills. Like a fever.
  398. Mar 20 22:03:38 <TheRaven> redact, insert correct time
  399. Mar 20 22:04:04 <AgentFlowers> She starts shaking a little. "Taggart...!"
  400. Mar 20 22:04:29 <TheRaven> "I'm here." He leans over.
  401. Mar 20 22:05:15 <AgentFlowers> She reaches for his hand with the uninjured arm.
  402. Mar 20 22:05:21 <PresidentEvil> "At this rate, sepsis could set in within the hour. You!" he barks to a nearby nurse. "Push vancomycin and start an IV line. Meyers, I want that wound cleaned and irrigated now."
  403. Mar 20 22:06:15 <PresidentEvil> "You, you, take blood and tissue for analysis. Agent, please stand back." he says to Taggart.
  404. Mar 20 22:07:08 <TheRaven> He stays out of the medical team's way, but as close as he can to Lily.
  405. Mar 20 22:08:57 <PresidentEvil> He is rapidly obscured from her view as the team crowds around Lily.
  406. Mar 20 22:09:01 <PresidentEvil> (back to #farrecon)
  407. Mar 20 22:08:25 <Roget> Dr. Bland walks into medical

  411. Mar 20 22:10:28 <PresidentEvil> Aside from the bite, she'll feel back to normal within 45 minutes to an hour.

  417. Mar 20 22:11:57 <Gara> Loren drives over to the garage much slower then her speeding along.
  418. Mar 20 22:12:46 <PresidentEvil> As she pulls into the first open bay, two men in maintenance jumpsuits break off from a conversation and walk over to the Jeep.
  419. Mar 20 22:12:59 <Gara> She opens the door and steps out.
  420. Mar 20 22:13:08 <TheRaven> "A lot. Don't guess you've got flamethrowers handy, do you?"
  421. Mar 20 22:13:33 <PresidentEvil> As they almost instantly notice the bullet-holed, gore encrusted window, one of them mutters. "God-fuckin'-/dammit/ under his breath, pulls a couple of bills out of his pocket, and slaps them into the hands of his partner.

  428. Mar 20 22:14:57 <Roget> "Not your fault... can you lot come to command tomorrow for an interview?"
  429. Mar 20 22:15:09 <PresidentEvil> "Oh, don't worry about it." says the second man, still grinning. "We can fix that right up, can't we Gary?"
  430. Mar 20 22:15:36 <PresidentEvil> "Sure can, /boss/" says the first. He doesn't sound very enthusiastic.
  431. Mar 20 22:15:40 <Roget> "Shut up, Steve. Nobody asked you."
  432. Mar 20 22:16:06 <TheRaven> "Assuming she recovers, yeah."
  433. Mar 20 22:16:09 <Gara> "Great."
