Jump 474: Parasyte
>Seven of Pentacles (Assessment): A pause to check on the progress of your labors. Evaluating the status of your work and your options for the future.
Age: 15
Location: Hiroshima, Japan
Identity: Drop-In
Drawbacks: (+200) Bakemono
Oh. That's a bad thing, isn't it?
>Life Must Be Protected (Free, Drop-In)
It may not always be the easy thing, but it is the right thing.
>Parasyte Sense (900, Drop-In)
Well, at least I can detect when that guy who is apparently five separate parasytes is within a few blocks of me. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure he can detect me as well.
>Task Force Requisition (300)
To hell with the source material, I'm bringing in the brute squad. Now where can I get Kerberos armor and flamethrowers on short notice...
>Genetic Sensor Schematics (100)
And this is how we're going to find them. I mean, it's not exactly ideal, but if we can reduce it to handheld size we can mount it on quadcopter drones and have them fly around.
Speaking of which, we have that sort of drone tech NOW, why isn't anyone doing cool shit with THOSE other than occasionally throwing cameras on them?
>Companions: Human Beings (Cammy and the Dolls)
And now I have competent people to head up the Brute Squad. I mean uh, Task Force.

Seriously, though, if anyone is remotely savvy, dealing with the parasytes is reduced to a TRIVIAL task. At which point a jumper would turn their attention to the source, and deal with that accordingly.

Aside from that one that keeps following me because I'm PRETTY sure they aren't supposed to scatter when I light them on fire and run away as five separate entities, then come at me in really crappy homemade armor, and when shot merge back into a monster.

Seriously, the fuck is going on with that guy?
