Well, I vote for Animalistic and Spy, at least - particularly if not having Animalistic means we DO get attacked at first glance by stuff we might be encountering frequently.

Hmm. It might help if we knew what your "way out" is.

You were planning on paying for a local mercenary band and a vehicle to leave this city and travel to one of the neighboring cities across the wastes. Sadly that is not a option as you were placed under house arrest, with no reason given to you.

You then decided the less civil approach and studied up on drones, planning on contacting the mercenaries and rigging public service drones to cause a distraction while you and the band left the city.

That never happened either as police raided your home, and took you here. For no adaquetly explained reason either, you never even got past planning with your plan B.

So now you are stuck in this large and relatively empty cell.

Dang. Any chance they'd discovered your plans? Both times?

My home was literally a 2 story house with only 3 rooms, and a large empty basement. It's unlikely they could have wire tapped me. Well, maybe they did. I don't know. You've got me thinking over this.

Can you not see the person in front of you or is he just dead?

If you can't see him what do you see in the room. And maybe try touching the floor about 6 feet in front of you.......for science.

>>555635

Hm..from what I can see, the subject's mouth has rotted away, cause unknown. It's lower limbs are missing, possible from self afflicted cannibalism, or possibly was already missing them. It's left arm is rather abnormal, compared to the rest of it, possibly due to...repeated strenuous activity out of boredom and stress. Possibly male, due to previous hypothesis. Well, those are my guesses anyway, you're the one with the PhD, right? There seems to be a journal of some sort near him. There's also what appears to be some newspapers near your right.

"Doooon't touuuch it..." a wheezy voice comes from the body. Shit he's not dead! You get a better look at his abnormal left arm. It's mutated. Shit he's a infected, they tossed me in here with a infected!

We back away slowly. He continues to ask us to leave it alone, pour soul, still thinks he's a regular person not prolonged to a painful death, or worse, the days as a being that only wishes to rip our guts out.

We inspect the journal, a few details about his days here. Mostly that he got food when the guards opened the door, water was supplied from a dripping tap, and how he spent the time writing this journal or talking to any other inmate that got in here.

Ah there we go! The journal mentions about a stash of sorts in the hatch in the room! Something for emergencies!

Typically I would argue whether or not if he's even still self aware at this point. But you guys raise a good point. I shouldn't be doing this. Invasion of someone's privacy is what got us locked away.

So, we return the journal, the Infected seems to calm down.

See if you can open the hatch and get the loot. I have a feeling that your cellmate won't be needing much without legs.

Did the journal mention his injuries? Would have been useful to know if he was like that when they threw him in, or if he was infected and de-legged after being imprisoned.

I didn't think to much about it. Not very scientific of me to not at least hypothesize. Okay, let's give it a shot.

He was infected but thrown in, as his journals couldn't have been written in clear print if he was mutated and rotting then. So he must have mutated during his time here, and during some of the more painful mutations, asked the guards to remove his legs.

From there he deteriorated.

*click* Ah there we go! got the hatch open, it wasn't even locked!

We open the hatch. Well... that's depressing.

Normally a gun would be a good thing. This isn't the sign of a good thing. This is a standard suicide pistol, given to groups of 6 or infected in case life gets to be too much for them. They have the option of ending it and leaving. The 3ND.

You have to place it against someone, at least some point on their head. The box probably holds at least one other magazine of 6. 3 scratches on the the ND pistol... 3 deaths. 3 shots.

>>555918

It's just some spare pens. And the circle seems to be nothing more than a aesthetic feature of the inside of the hatch.

Take the 3ND with you it's better than nothing. Then look at those discarded papers on the floor.

Use one of the pens to write "Greenfield Waz Here" on the wall.

Well, maybe you should ask the guy first, and see if he responds.

I mean, what if your health and sanity were slowly draining away, and some jerk comes barging into your cell, reads your journal, and steals your stuff?

I'm tempted to say that you should play tic-tac-toe with the infected guy...but you'd have to get a bit too close for comfort...also Could you use the gun on whatever is locking you in, or is that a bad Idea?

You have a very good point there. I'm not one of the City Watch or the City Guards.

What did you expect? He asked for a suicide pistol and you gave it to him.

What's more worrying is that marks the fourth time that pistol has been used. Are they just going to leave you in here till you start considering it the better alternative than staying put?

"STASH THE WEAPON!" We hear the guards shout as the door opens, "WE HAVE WEAPONS DRAWN AND WILL SHOOT TO KILL IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A AMBUSH"

An ambush, but correcting anyone who has a gun trained on you isn't the best plan.

Let's... work on not getting shot for now.

wait. follow orders slowly and calmly. if we are lucky he will move forward to take the gun instead of asking you to take it out. then STRIKE when he has his only one hand on his gun and it isn't pointing at you.

>>556665

There are other guards, I highly doubt that even if we disable this one the other ones will let us collect his weapon and engage them.

>>556688
this is a NOW OR NEVER chance.

Combat does not match our skills. It would be better to use Charm to talk our way out or Spy to sneak out.

We've been in here for minutes. We aren't desperate enough to try killing our way out with what is, effectively, a melee weapon.

We're better off seeing if there's any chance of release, and if not, manufacturing an escape more in line with our skills.

Quick question, does the gun just use small pellets to insure close range use only? If so you may be able to pry open the socket and disconnect some wires and depending on bullet material and wattage be able to melt the pellets into a single slug, which might expand the range to at least a few feet.

After the guard leaves mind you.

Striking a prison guard who probably has backup right behind him. They're also part of a prison system that doesn't care about sanitary conditions and isn't above severe brutality. Accordingly TRYING to kick the guard's ass is not a great plan.
We are screwed unless someone lets us out or rescues us I think.

He shot himself, really! You can even check- there will be GSR on his hands but not mine.

Political prisoner. Apparently I was doing something that would have upset the Cabinet... No doubt they were waiting for me to be there when the Infected died so they could blame me and get me killed and make it seem like circumstance.

Yeah that's the idea I'm getting, get framed, get tossed, let me get ripped limb by limb because of the guys they got in there.

Right. So... what are options for getting out of here alive, then? Going along with what they have planned will get you killed slowly, and trying anything with those two guards at your back will get you killed fast. And either gives the people who put you here an excuse or justification for your death.

You will have to find the boss of this cellblock and either make yourself useful to him or use your charms on him.

"I don't know enough about the prison to say for certain, but if you can get me broken drones I could probably rig them into something useful."

"maybe, depends on what we can get and what kind of security there is"

>do you think you could fabricate a escape for everyone here in Cellblock E?
...uh, that depends on what security we're up against, and what supplies we have to work with. It would certainly be harder to break out a whole cell block rather than a few people. We wouldn't be able to sneak out, or count on no one noticing we were missing for a few hours.

Doubtful it could be done without violence, or losing some people.

>Do you think you could fabricate a escape for everyone here in Cellblock E?
Let's find out.

Oh, wait, duh. Obvious question: how many people in the cellblock?

"I need more information on what I'm up against and what my supplies are to say for sure, but it's a genuine possibility: I'm a scientist, and we always have to improvise and fix our own gear so I can definitely build bombs and a number of other devices."

Wow! They got a map! Alright then from here we can work out a basic attack plan, which ones become viable are based on what supplies they can grab.

Okay this map is extremely colourful... What does that say about the guards then if they need this much colour to understand everything.

Hm. We got a few escape routes...

Hmmmm, if you are able to have somewhat free mobility ask the guards to let you see the library, or else have this guy hit you at least hard enough to split skin so you can survey the medical ward.

we can give just enough supplies to the other blocks that they think they have a chance and stage a mass riot. meanwhile E will wait until the guards leave for the other blocks before making their move.

>>559120
If we can incite a mass right, that would help. Let the other cell blocks draw attention and fire while we make a coordinated break for it.

...what do we have to work with for supplies? That kind of changes what we can plan, a lot.

Flour or powdered sugar should be good for making either incendiaries, explosives or smoke-bombs. Anything we can purify powdered carbohydrates from is a good start on something that burns nicely, but I don't know what our local food supply is like.

Convincing the other blocks to riot seems like an excellent idea but we need the supplies and communications to try that.

"Say what is your name anyway?" "Just call me T Cabron," You know what I'm not going to bother questioning the murder on that.

Okay we got a goal, get guns from the armory. Anything else we should cover within the prison first?

I still think we need to know what materials we have to work with, here. After all, just attacking the armory with a mass of bodies by itself isn't a great plan.

Do we have any clue what or who is in the armoury, and what its exterior defenses and the alarm system is like? We can't plan around unknowns so well.

Okay apparently T's contact, who I think he's shaking hands with... can get us vodka, broken nightsticks, dirty rags, and there are crates of food, with items such as sugar, salt, flour, coffee. Which if I recall correctly in 10th grade I read a book about makeshift explosions... Don't ask too much about that I ended up in detention.

This map outlines the defenses pretty well for the Armory. Here, I'll mark them in Pink. We got 4 gunner nests and apparently the only way in is through catwalks, the lower floor is electrified.

Hm... Molotovs, we can make basic incendiaries and toss them at the gunner nests. It's something.

Yeah molotovs for the gunners nests and some kind of makeshift shield for the narrow catwalks? What kind of tables are there in the cafeteria or the library?
Also electrified floor shouldn't be a problem since cloth does not conduct electricity, just wrap rags around your feet and your good to go.

Sufficiently-finely-powdered white flour is explosively flammable all by itself if well mixed with oxygen, careful with that. This can be useful for setting charges if you can keep it dry enough, and then air-inject it well enough to do that.

Think you could rig up any smoke bombs from medical, or possibly even cafeteria supplies?

T laughs a bit, it sounds a bit strained. "Cabron, this is my last chance to escape, I've been here 11 years. Over 8 I have seen 25 different escape attempts, been in 11."

I attempt to keep our focus on the map. "So... what about the supplies?" "they are here, I'll get my informant to let the other Cellblocks know," "Well that was fast,"

We remain silent.

"I've known people. I've seen them die. Gunned down like common mutants. Did you think I started out blind in my left eye, that I got this scar from dirty work on the street? I was a low level thug in a gang. In here on my 6th try, a guard got a little too excited and brought a knife to my face!"

"Okay then Cabron, once we break out of the jail, where do we go next?

"I'm better than most for surviving an anomaly, but I get the feeling that leaving the city is a bad idea without a good plan and good supplies to survive that. Do we have enough people and enough friends on the outside to either convince the cabinet to leave us alone or make a move for it?"

Contact a mercenary group, get a vehicle and get the fuck out of the city.
It's simple and leaves room for improvisation.

...the guards are expecting a violent breakout?

That tells me maybe we should shift gears. Is there anyway we can use the resources we've been left in an unexpected way? Don't give them the fight they want, or expect.

"Well Cabron. No. At most if we find some underground location to hole ourselves in we should be relatively fine, I can make contact over radio with the gang," Well that soun- wait... "Aren't you coming with me?"

T laughs, "Sorry Greenfield, but the wastes just ain't for me. Got any ideas where we can hold up?"

Hm... The Metros! We can escape into the Metros, I can get out through the city via the old lines, and you guys can take a station to make a new base. "Sounds good Cabron,"

"Also we should shift gears, the guards are expecting a breakout? Let's give them one they won't typically expect," "What do you suggest?"

...what? But we've barely started planning. We haven't figured out what drones or stuff we can build from the resources we have, or how to best apply those resources. We've just, in general, sort of sketched out targets of interest. Against an enemy who's reader and waiting, (eager, apparently), for us to attack.

This is prison, for crying out loud. If there's one thing we're not short on, it's time. Take the time to plan this right, not to rush into a bloodbath.

Excellent point! That's why we need a plan!

"T! We can't go rushing in just yet, we need a complete compiled list of our resources!" "What do you mean Cabron," "We have no real plan, we need to allocate our resources. Do we have enough? Can we get our hands on drones? Can we get Medicine? How are we going to do this? Are we just going to run in protecting ourselves with tables? Are we going to throw molotovs? We don't have any clear idea, We need a plan,"

T's face saddens a bit.

"You're right Greenfield. We don't have a concise plan. So I say it's time we lay out what we got and go from there."
Good idea. I'll make a list.

>Escape Supplies So Far:
-3 small cases of 12 bottles of Vodka.
-1 pile of 100 dirt rags
-2 barrels filled with 25 broken nightsticks.
-1 full magazine of 6 3ND rounds complete with primer and powder
-2 bags of flower

And that's just the stuff here. "Say T, can we get the tables from the Cafeteria?" "Yeah Cabron, why?" "Metal or Wood," "Metal... How long have you been here?" Excellent! Metal tables, now they won't fully stop bullets but they should buy some temporary protection!

Okay I got a plan down.
>3 Teams.
>Team A takes the food supplies and while the guards are distracted with the raid they use makeshift bombs from the flower and 3ND rounds to blow open the front doors, and they head for the Metro. Biggest and strongest members take this role.
>Team B takes the high road and attacks the catwalks to head for the armory, using the Tables as makeshift shields and push their way forward.
>Team C takes the lower route with rags around their feet tossing molotovs at the gunners nests.

It's not a perfect plan, has holes in it. This is where you guys... voices... come in. Any of you have any alternatives?

I remember a story of a particularly embarrassing prison break: There was a prison baking event, and the prisoners fed the guards chocolate chip cookies made with chocolate laxatives. While a substantial chunk of the staff was racing for the washrooms or trying to deal with their business in the washrooms and the mess a very large fraction of the prison population just walked out of the prison.

Now I'm not suggesting that it's likely the guards will eat special brownies that we bake for them, but surely there is something we can do to distract, demoralize or impair the staff before we even start our distractionary prison riot?
What do the guards eat, where do they go, and is there any possibility of sabotaging their equipment, water supply, or food before the event?

Distract or otherwise incapacitate the... Oh my god! "T I got something!"

"What is it Cabron?" "The Radio sets! Each Watch member has a radio headset with their own frequency in their helmet!" "Oh my god Cabron... How are we going to do that?"

"We grab a repair drone. Program it to go to the radio station-" "-And then we have it alter the controls to send out feedback noise to incapacitate the guards while we run out and grab the supplies! Brilliant Cabron!"

Voices I am so glad you guys are on my side! Any reason why you are helping me anyway?

we don't decide who we get paired with, if we got sent to you, then it's destiny, so we do our part.

Oh you probably got infected somewhere along the way and we are a mutation in your brain, just talking for now but soon we will be able to control parts of your body and then...

Naw im just fucking with you and don't know jack.

But the plan sounds good so far, since you need the tables i guess the time to start the escape plan would be during supper.

Eh, you seem like an alright dude.

In my case it's mostly a problem with hostile, violent and oppressive authority. I'd say your society is ripe for some direct-action democracy, or at least some personal liberty.

Alright, we're inside, everyone else is looting boxes and crates. I decided to take this locker. It should have some armor and a gasmask. But it's locked, I'm should just shoot it off, but what about shrapnel? Any other suggestions or should I just risk it?

Is it a combination lock? Try the most simplest of combinations on it before you try to force it, like 1111 or 1234. You could also tell someone else to shoot the lock off if it comes down to it, maybe someone who looks like a gun nut.

As for weapons:
>Carbine/Assault Rifle
>Specialized/Energy/Scrap-Gun
>Melee

You got your generic all-rounder, the fun option and the out of ammo option.

What, you can't just science the lock off? ...or check if the combination is written on the backside?

Actually, if those are the cheap locks we had when I was a schoolkid, you don't need to know the combination. Just twist right left right reversing each direction when you start to feel resistance, and bam, open.

I'm tempted to say that once we leave the prison we'd be better protected by a reasonably-fitting set of inconspicuous, civilian clothes and a full wallet than all the guns in the world. What's multipurpose and/or concealable?

Shoot the guard in his weapon holding and/or trigger arm before he can fire on you.

Don't get fancy, you're not a trick-shooting marksman. Use whatever weapon is already in hand QUICKLY aiming to make the enemy dodge or score a hit before they react. IF you are currently not holding a weapon you can point and use immediately get behind cover and take out one.

Alternatively, you could complain to the guard that your radio still isn't working right and ask where the rally point is. IF you think you can pull that level of bullshit off. If you're not confident you can then just shoot 'im though.
