ITT we play Paranoia [GAME IN PROGRESS]

[Mostlynormal]

I look over to see what CA tripped on. "Hmm, those must be our supplies. Are we in warehouse 6A already?" I look around for any signs and for more of the red plasticrates.

[orangedragonfire]

I try to open the supply crate.

[skellious]

You see no more crates.

As you pull the crate apart by using the E-Z-TEAR cord securing it, four Laser Pistol Bodies and four Series 1300 PDC's fall out.

[Mostlynormal]

(What are PDCs? By "bodies," does that mean they aren't fully functional?)

[skellious]

I'm not sure, why don't you investigate? (also, please note bodies is just the plural of body, not anything to do with dead people...) Welcome to paranoia!

Oh and a PDC is a small wrist-sized band with a screen on it. that's all you can see from looking at it.

[Mostlynormal]

"Hmm. What are those things?" I pick up one of the PDCs and inspect the contents of the screen. I also look for buttons to try pressing.

[careyhammer]

Hey, wait up guys! I want one of those gadgets too!

[skellious]

As you press buttons at random, something appears on the screen...




Good daycycle, citizen! How are you getting on with your mission?

[matt96]

I guess I will take one of the PDCs and a laser pistol body, and check out the laser pistol body and PDC to figure out what they are and what they do.

[Mostlynormal]

I smile with delight, bowing deeply. "Good daycycle, our grand, trusted, and most perfect friend. The mission is proceeding wonderfully. We just found this crate with our supplies in it and are almost ready to visit room 66-22-1/A for the rest of our equipment. I do have one small question though. Have we missed some of the laser pistols, or do you only want four people outfitted with Laser Pistols? Also, we could use your benevolent assistance in deciding how to distribute the equipment we have. How would you prefer we organize ourselves?"

[skellious]

The laser body appears to be a weapon of the sort carried by other troubleshooters you have seen. It has no barrel which you presume means it is unlikely to fire very well.

the PDC is a screen with buttons that could strap to your wrist. Currently it is displaying the symbol of the computer.

[skellious]

Citizen, where did you find these items? Do you have a weapon possession license? Possession of a weapon without permission is treason, citizen.

[matt96]

Ask the computer "If these aren't our supplies, then where is warehouse 6-A? Can you tell us so we can go there and get the right supplies for our task, which we are so happy to perform for you?"

[skellious]

Warehouse 6A is located adjacent to the soylent red production plant. Walk to the end of this corridor, turn left and then walk along the third corridor on the right.

Citizen, I ask you again why you are in possession of unauthorized equipment.

[Mostlynormal]

I bow once again. "Of course we don't possess these items, Friend Computer. We simply found them on the ground and wanted to report them to you. As you can see, our Happiness Officer is checking them out to see what purpose they could serve." I pause a bit. "Ah, that said, we do beleive our mission would have a higher chance of success if we were outfitted with weapons. May we have permission to appropriate these for our cause?"

[skellious]

For reporting potentially stolen Computer property, you are awarded 25 credits and a commendation. For attempting to steal Computer property, the team is fined 50 credits each.

You should take these items with you to warehouse 6A and hand them in. I have informed the agent on duty that you will be authorized to be issued the equipment required for your mission.

[t1mm01994]

"Why thank you SMILES, you sure helped us a lot... Anyways, let's put this stuff back in the crate and let's get kickin'!"

[matt96]

I respond "Thank you computer for informing us of our error and being so lenient, we never meant to steal that which is yours, it was our fault for mis-understanding the label on the plasticrate, I shall fix this mistake as soon as possible." and then collect all the things from the crate, and rush off to warehouse 6-A, following the Computer's directions, running to the end of this corridor, turning left and then dashing along the third corridor on the right.

[skellious]

As you turn into the green corridor on the right, you see the entrance to warehouse 6A. It's more like a lock up double garage than a warehouse, the metal shutter is up but the place seems deserted.

[matt96]

I look around and hand them in to whoever is around who the Computer has determined the supplies from the crate should be handed in to.

[skellious]

You look but see no one. there are crates of various hues scattered about the space. There is a desk with a computer terminal and a stack of papers on it.


NOTE - DMING ended for the night, I'm afraid I have an early morning meeting and it's midnight here now. I'll continue when I get the chance but don't expect much before tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. (I hope you're all okay with the casual speed of this)

[Mostlynormal]

I call out, asking if anyone is there.

[matt96]

I look at the computer terminal, to see if it is an extension of the Computer, who I could turn in the mistakenly grabbed supplies to.

[orangedragonfire]

Look for crates with R or IR clearance.

[t1mm01994]

Ask the computer whether I have enough clearance to view through the papers

[KrazyerKate]

[skellious]

CAR-R-LIN finds a couple of Red clearance crates, containing 4 red troubleshooter outfits each.

The computer terminal suddenly flicks on.



Citizens, how did you get to this warehouse? The corridor outside is designated green clearance and higher. What is your clearance level?

[Mostlynormal]

(Oh god. What fun.)

Sweating, I pull out all the stops on my "Bootlicking" skill. "My humblest apologies, Your Gracious Leniency Friend Computer. It seems we have made a terrible mistake. While following Your Excellency's directions to warehouse 6A we lost our way, and must have stumbled into a green hallway. Your Graciousness can rest assured there was no treasonous intent to our actions. Also rest assured that we will do whatever is necessary to correct our mistake. I'm sure Your Mercy, in all his gracious leniency, will understand, and we are ever so happy to pay the due punishment. Thank you for being such a kind and perfect Computer."

[skellious]

Citizen, trespassing in a higher-clearance corridor is treason. The punishment for treason is summary execution. Please report to the nearest self-termination booth immediately.

[t1mm01994]

SMILES: less interacting as if it's big brother, more interacting as if it's GLaDOS.
*picks up one of the laser bodies, picks up the stash of paper on the desk, hides from all visible instances of the computer and starts reading*

[skellious]

The papers turn out to be forms for the issue of equipment to troubleshooters.

Mysteriously, the forms have been pre-signed, with the name and mission fields left blank.

Each form has the following listed authorised equipment.

1 x Laser Pistol body
2 x RED Laser Pistol Barrels
1 x RED Reflec armor
1 x Series 1300 PDC

There appear to be a large stack of these, all signed by BILLIE-G-OAT.

[orangedragonfire]

Thinks: Oh shit.

"Uhmm... OO-R-EYH? You still have the official note that told us to go here, right? Could you show it to the Computer to prove that we are allowed to be here?"

[KrazyerKate]

"As an upstanding citizen and the team's loyalty officer, it's my duty to eliminate all forms of treason against you, our friend and leader. In order to best assess the cause of this heinous act, I submit this note for your analysis. I will await your orders while you review the note's contents, and if necessary will assist in their prompt self-termination any citizens that are deemed a threat to society."

[orangedragonfire]

*awkward silence*

[matt96]

I try to whisper to someone randomly (I am trying to see if we can start PMing people about the game.

[skellious]

The room is silent, except for someone whispering. yes, pming people is perfectly legal, in a tabletop game you're allowed to pass notes provided you'd be able to do so physically in the game (via a communicator or whispering).

[KrazyerKate]

While Computer processes this new information, we will have to decide our actions by ourselves. Obviously, there are two possibilities. Either PAZ-O-VER is traitorous scum trying to cause chaos and confusion in our team, or BAK-R-BOY is an inept dunce for leading us here, and ought to be removed from his position and replaced by his deputy team leader. I suggest that we seek out PAZ to learn more about him, and that we temporarily demote BAK to "Back Massage and Spill Cleanup Officer" until we are more certain of PAZ's motives.


[Skelli, do you want copies of all game-related PMs sent? We could totally be plotting to overthrow the GM right now]

[skellious]

Plotting to overthrow the GM would be in the very spirit of Paranoia, I heartily approve... then laugh maniacally at the concept of being overthrown... it's quaint you think that could happen... xD .

[Badion]

Donning a gray jump suit and a small carry on bag. PANTS-R-OFF exits the travel tube and begins to explore the area around him.

"Does anyone know where the soylent red production plant is?" Shouting.

[careyhammer]

*wakes up*

whats going on?
