Keep doing a search, anything else on this console Apex can get working? The cat may complicate things, you can live the romantic bounty hunter life of flirting with enemies and rivals later Sivon. Remember, your ship needs hyperjump capabilities to expand the bounties you can take. You also need some more augments before we can take on higher risk bounties and become more badass.

Found Jackson first, then observe the cat lady and found out if she is an ally of Jackson or another bounty hunter..

Click through all the security cameras, and if you still can't find Jackson... remember that authorities only confirmed that Jackson's ship was heading here. Either "Jackson Fist" is an invented alias (and I mean, good lord, that name), or this cat jacked his ship, and he's actually stuck where it last departed.

Also, assuming you can't find Jackson: "Hey Apex, let's see if we can lock her in the factory bay, then lock her out of the fabber controls. There should also be a PA system, right?" (Might want to subtly lock her in even if you do find Jackson because we don't want her walking in on us while we gank him.)

>>968478
Find your target first!

>>968503
That or Jackson has somehow switched to a new body. It could be possible. If they got too much heat before and needed to start over. Problem though is that they still have the old ship, unless that is why they are here...

Regardless, lets try to lock them in so we can interrogate them, either now or after we check elsewhere.

Appendix: The Vessel will take longer to recover from illnesses. The Vessel will become more vulnerable to Corruption. The Vessel will become ‘Inflamed.’

Spine: The Vessel is more likely to freeze when startled. The Vessel will only be able to remove penalties with the Maneuver action, rather than gain benefits. The Vessel will become ‘Clumsy.’

Muscles: The Vessel will need Meat. The Vessel will hurt itself if exerted too much. The Vessel will become ‘Jittery.’

Yeah I don't think we want to try Appendix. Maybe later.

Meat?
Wait, are the Red Thoughts... Meat Demon?

I retain my opinion from the previous update; Liver is my number 1 choice, throat is my number 2.

also option to bind to tonsils when? :P

((>>968649 I know I vote against throat, our presence being hidden is the only reason we still definitely have a Vessel to return to. Because the Spheres didn't know they were making a binding promise))

A brief search of the surrounding area turns up nothing of note. You glance at your watch nervously.

"Call in some more guys to help while you're at it," you order. "Get public works on the line to get this bridge closed off. Everything gets analyzed, I want every loose brick bagged as evidence, and some closer shots of those marks, too."

Casey starts limbering up, doing a little jog in place to get warmed up. “Works for me. Are you sure you’re going to be alright in your condition? I don’t want to pop a stitch or anything.”

Cauldera looks around with momentary disbelief before carefully twining her fingers between Vivians. There’s a momentary shock of energy as the fire ward around the fey’s neck activates and absorbs the overwhelming heat.

The phoenix is pulled up on stage by her partner and feels herself spun around. Unsure of what to do, she tries to match Vivian’s pace, trying not to step on any toes. “R-Raithe! What do I do?” She stammers.

Feathers rapidly shake loose and start to spiral around the stage, threatening an uncontrolled conflagration.

“I got it!” Raithe launches into the air, flapping left and right as tries to catch as many feathers as possible. “Uh, this is actually kind of a lot!”

Get Vivian's attention, ask her to do something with all the exploding feathers. She can manipulate fire, she should be able to incorporate it into the dance.

Welp we can't interrupt a Fey during a performance. Maybe Kol can use some of his body puppetry to move quickly enough to catch feathers in the pot. Miki can just focus on grabbing feathers since she's warded.

Thanks for the quest!

>it could keep you safe if you run into orc raiders in your travels
How would that keep us safe? Do we just shout that we know the Secret Water orcs and the raiders would just give us a pass?

>If you're traveling out west, maybe you'll run into her
Would've been useful to know the exact location of their village in case we'd want to travel there to trade and whatnot. Assuming they have one and they're not purely nomadic.

>it would still be roughly a year before the invasion was to occur
So we've got one year to get rich and raise an army...

>>968596
Probably better for the /dis/ thread, but I'll answer these here.

>>How could this help?
Parleying and explaining you're an ally of the Secret Water tribe would probably make anybody who are allies with them not want to murder you and take all of your stuff.

Depending on who they are, they could also hold you and confirm or something like that. It's not like magic words that make raiders evaporate so much as something you could use to bargain with hostile orcs.

I don't think the other two things really require any kind of direct response, though.

I'll leave it to Tasnim's player to describe exact current feelings, but that's more than enough successes to pick up on her intimacies of professional responsibility toward medical patients in general, and anxious protectiveness toward Noir personally.

Also, technically, even after clumsily falling off the door and down a few stairs, noticing Noir's presence would require four successes on Perception + Awareness unless the cloaking device either broke down or was deliberately deactivated. Six, with anima power active.

As she finishes dressing the wound and plying him with wine, he begins to attempt charades, drawing what amounts to a house and a question mark, trying to gather information on where he is and what's been going on. Eventually he mimes for Ada's bags, trying to go through them for clues as to what's been going on, or at least conversational aides. He finds the partially drawn maps, and begins studying what he can of the layout, looking for potential

Not sure what kind of roll that is, maybe doesn't even count as mechanically resolvable/consequential, but gathering intel based on your surroundings, looking for secrets based on architecture, and rummaging through people's belongings to find out information on them all seem like reasonable things to attempt with potential interpersonal fallout.

>>968531
First dose of celestial wine heals 3 levels of damage, eradicates an infection which Tasnim's diagnostic skills can easily confirm had already taken root in the wound (Stamina 1 + Resistance 0 + Deprivation Penalty -1 + Wound Penalty -2 = Bad News), also incidentally curing any and all other diseases in or upon Noir's body, mind, and spirit, no matter how subtle or persistent. A single dose won't guarantee lasting immunity, but on the other hand, it's also not enough for intoxication penalties. Assuming Noir manages to avoid combat, heavy exertion, or further injury, that level of lethal damage remaining in his -0 health box will sort itself out in at most twelve hours - or six hours with proper rest.

The wine also tastes great, and is potentially addictive, just like mundane alcohol but more so. Bottle has two more doses. Replacing a dose using Scorpion And Toad Mastery will cost 10m.

Tell Dreaming Pontiff that you're looking for a Serpent named Azara Uzel and you have a feeling that the Uredo that attacked them is also looking for her. Ask if they know where Azara could be? You think she might be in danger!

Also, tell them to call Saki and let him know they are alright. Saki is the one that told you they were in danger.

Don't forget to ask Leon if he found any clues on where Azara could be!

well I came down here looking for someone to more or less offer them a job and heard they liked to hang out around her sometimes. However when I got her the sanctuary was abandoned exempt for Saki who said the place as attacked by a plant monster. He said you lead it away by agree to help and and when I want to make sure you were alright a massive Uredo with red eyes attacked me, knocked me the ground and disarmed me, scared Saki away, and ran off. When I regained enough of my senses I saw I was alone and decided I should head down here to make sure you were ok.

Theory: Our buddy here was being interrogated about something that they wanted to not just "forget", but REALLY forget.
Ask him if he even remembers who Azara is. If memories belonging to her have also been tampered with...

And bring him back to the Sanctuary to help the poor kid. He must've shorted a circuit by now.

Tell Dreaming Pontiff that you only heard this second hand from Saki, but according to him a "huge plant monster," which was actually a giant uredo, barged into the Sanctuary, fired a warning shot with a laz pistol and demanded everyone do as it wanted or it'd hurt the SAIs there. It was looking for something, but Saki didn't hear what. Dreaming Pontiff then led the giant uredo outside, whereupon every other SAI ran off but Saki, who hid behind the altar.

Tell Dreaming Pontiff that you came to the SAI Sanctuary looking for Azara Uzel; You were hired by the New Horizon Brood Pits to find her. It's not for anything related to her work for Sol Corp or whatever pro-SAI actions she's done. They just want her to come in to be bred before she leaves the station. Ask Dreaming Pontiff if they have any idea where Azara would be now, or know of anyone else who'd have some idea.
Ask Dreaming Pontiff to please call Saki and tell him that you and they are okay and that the big plant monster, which was actually a overgrown uredo, ran off, so it's safe for him to come back here now.

Ask Dreaming Pontiff to share the last memory they have before the wiped gap, as well as the timestamps for the start and end of the memory gap. By retracing Dreaming Pontiff's tracks during that period you may be able to find out Azara's hiding spot or, if it's not Azara the uredo was after, where whatever or whoever the uredo was after is or was.

Ask Dreaming Pontiff to contact the other SAIs that are members of the Sanctuary and see if they can provide eye witness descriptions, images and audio of the giant uredo that showed up. ...Actually, you could just ask Saki to transfer video of the event from his memory to your data pad, but getting multiple angles is a good idea.

More like soil from the Uredo. Could that be used to narrow down where the Uredo lives? Kinda like a finger print for plants? I’m sure the PK would be able to get access to some kinda database that keeps track of how healthy various patches of soil on the station is to make sure all the plants are healthy.

That would mean the PK would need our sleeper gun as evidence.

Let’s lead Dreaming Pontiff back to the Sanctuary. And mention that other than the memory loss, you’re glad that they’re unharmed.

Whole place seems like some sort of trap, although I doubt it is for you. Run up and find the guy before they leave through a different exit.

It is strange that he'd just let her walk in, but perhaps that's less strange and more a service they provide. A walk-in service, as it were! Might even have to pay for it, heh. Doubt this is a kidnapping ring or whatnot. If so she'd just been told to 'oh yes, go in, 'Rocker' will meet you in room X' without being given the option to wait and been none the wiser.

Anyway, thank the receptionist. Mention that you weren't told much of this place, so you presumed something just now, and well, you learned recently that perhaps you should presume less and ask more. What service do they provide and what's the going rate?

You are R4N, a gunslinger. An older bot. You used to make a thing called “ranch dressing”, back when you had a Purpose. But now you wander, looking for something, which is obviously NOT ranch dressing, as going on a quest for ranch dressing, which also hypothetically is the only thing you could acquire to make yourself happy, would be entirely ridiculous- just you and an old gun, and your metal, sexy body. Today, you wander the Rust Desert. The dunes stretch out before you like a particularly chunky mixture of ranch dressing.

In the distance, you see the town, after yet more walking. You programming dictates several appropriate responses:
>Walk into town calmly, like a normal robot.
>Run into town hootin’ and hollerin’ like a wild yokel.
> ACQUIRE RANCH DRESSING

Just walk into town. But make sure you've got that swag to your walk

Solid Earth 3
Lithic Understanding
Shape the Earth
Empower Crystal
Become Stone (leap ahead [Temperance] only)

*Growing Wood 3
Verdant Understanding
Empower Cultivation
Empower Plants
Shape Plants (leap ahead [Compassion] only)

obviously you're not going to charge them. continue to wait for your moment. Even if they're female, don't be afraid to kill one to get better odds on the rest.

>Where are their hunting weapons? Surely they didn't kill the beast with just metal staves.
Those metal staves are their hunting weapons! They must use them to cast powerful magic to bring down that large food-creature!

That's a boom stick. Its loud because it kills before its even possible to hear.
You can't see its action either.

Think of it like a superbow that can murder everything.

>>968455
Those staves might be tools of ghost skin magic, it's the only thing that makes sense otherwise
be wary

Observe, I don’t think this guys will give you any chance to attack them.
