Saitnen: "Okay, so Let's go through this all one more

time, goggles you are . . .?"

Radical Girl: "Milky Way, the Radical Girl!"

Saitnen: "and ears is . . .?"

Chaos Caster: "Chaos Caster, Dimensional Master!"

Saitnen: "right . . . and you guys are some sort of

terrorists?"

Radical Girl: "(The Order of Anarchy) is founded only on the principles of love, harmony and making the world a better place!"

Saitnen: " . . . which is why you want me to help you bust out the murderbot I JUST threw in jail for trying to MURDER people?"

Chaos Caster: "She is the only one who can save your father!"

Saitnen: " . . . who is totally NOT dead somehow and has his soul trapped in this "magic" sword that totally didn't kill him."

Radical Girl: "Exactly!"

Saitnen: "Which she'll accomplish by building a (totally not murderous) robot body that the magic sword will be able to use via magic . . . somehow"

Chaos Caster: "Golems are too unpredictable! we need a logic based form"

Saitnen: "Which she'll do for free AND of her own free will after just hearing of your "noble" cause and NOT just try to murder me AGAIN."

(II)

Radical Girl: "So you'll help us?"

Saitnen: . . .

ask they return your stuff first, as a sign of trust. then reach in and pull out one of the panties and feed it to the gear. if they really do know about your father and stuff they will not be alarmed by it eating panties.

>>562305
On one condition.

They must give you their panties.

>>562308

Let's go with this.

If they protest,just say it's a sign of good faith.

>>562304
It all makes perfect sense!

>so you'll help us?
...I'm gonna need a little more proof this isn't total bullshit, first. Look, we know where robo-gal is, and she won't be going anywhere, for a while. How about we locate the sword first, and you prove to me there's actually a soul stuck inside?

(Not only does this test their story, but even if you find the sword and there's no soul inside? If you've found the sword, you've found your father's killer. You can use these crazies to your advantage, that way).

Don't demand their panties outright: Explain that your father was a crazy nutjob who made this creepy powersuit powered by used panties (from women only it seems). Stress that you really couldn't help them very much without additional fuel because aside from the suit you're not that much different from an ordinary person. Mention that you have no idea how the heck that works, or if the panties have to be stolen or not. Then ask them if they have useful suggestions on how to acquire fuel.

Their ability to come up with plausible answers should inform your willingness to converse further instead of treat them like total nutjobs and flee.

No, don't explain yourself. Don't ever explain yourself again.

Just say "I'll help, but first I need your panties." Say it with confidence like the world will end if you don't have those panties in your hands right now.

We'll definitely need a sign of their good faith. Like their panties.

pantieeeeeeeesssssss

>>562305
No. We have a cute cop to date, and breaking criminals out of prison would work against that.
Instead, tell them you'll meet them somewhere later with your answer.
Then leave and call your cute cop date and tell her where the meeting will take place so she can set up a sting and take credit for the arrests.
What we'll ask for in exchange for our cooperation is to watch and provide questions for the interrogation, since we have a stake in this.

Sound good?

>>562380
I'm not so sure that cute cop will date us instead of sting us herself: Paris Kane has become aggro and rich people have the resources to make false-accusations believable.

It all hinges on whether these freaks we're facing have passable intelligence and sanity. If they're truly stupid and/or nuts then they could be telling us something false or delusional, or simply not be worth knowing and dealing with. We can't be too picky since wearing this suit makes us a freak, but let's give these nutjobs a chance to disappoint us first before we step on them.

>>562398
If WE are the ones who call it in to Officer Cuff, and do so DIRECTLY, then if the cops try to sting US then she knows it's bullshit and we aren't hurting our chances with her. Plus, then we'd have a contact in the police department.
Also, if they DO try to catch us then we can rescue these two idiots from the sting and go along with the plan then.

man, you guys don't go halfway with your heel turns, do you?

I like Saitnen as a blustery bravado spewing yet ultimately awkward heel, not a dastardly asshole betraying people for a shot at the first cute girl we met.

It's like you guys are pussy whipped BEFORE the first date.

>>562442
"You guys"? It's just one person suggesting that plan, dude.

the Sword was collected by the police during their investigation of the murder, it's probably in the evidence locker.

Chaos Caster: "but what about-"
Radical Girl: "I am going to DESTROY this bastard!"

. . . well at least I know she's serious.

get ready to fight but say
"i wanted proof you were actually good people and not part of the group the robot is in. right now you are making yourself seem insane and untrustworthy. so i will call the cops and tell them to tighten security on the robot unless you CALM DOWN."

UNDERWEAR, not money, you stupid wench

Or rather- Panties is what this gear uses as fuel. No Panties? No powers for me. Honest.

>>562654
My gear is powered by panties
I'm useless without power

Not to mention I kinda resent my dad for... all of this bullshit he got me into.
So, you know, you're not actually doing anything FOR me. Saving my Dad only has the purpose of helping me deal with this stupid gear and answering questions. Honestly, just fuck him. He can stay that way for all I care. You think you're doing charity here? Good will?
You stole my shit to get my attention.
You clearly have another motive.
And you're psychotic and prone to anger.
Why don't you prove to me you're actually on my side and give me some power?

Saiten's dad is a jerk anyways.

Prepare to rumble!

I'm not sure explaining our thing's power supply is going to help, any. It just seems to piss people off when we talk about it. Thanks, Dad.

Eh, just go with it. A fight makes a hell of a lot more sense than the nonsense she was spouting. In superheroing, shoot first and ask questions later is a totally valid response.

>>562654
"Payment? No. If you don't know why I NEED your panties, then you're clearly lying about knowing my father."

"Payment? You consider your panties payment? Most people just get a little skeeved out." Strike a heroic pose, "Anyway, my dad was an asshole, and I'm still willing to help. I just need your panties to do so, that's all."

>>562654
Use the electric power on her.

actually... how about
"aha! that was a test, anyone that knows my father would have understood what it meant!"

Grab Yoyo and/or string, and yank.

I have a lust for not getting beaten up by every single crazy person I seem to meet!

And you are an obnoxious self righteous bitch, just like my so called friends and all the other holier than thou assholes who call this city home.

I am compelled by honor, but YOU wish to free a killer to gain her power! Which of us is thinking only of power and themselves? Here's a hint - it's YOU!"

boy, that yoyo sure looks like it conducts electricity.

Grab that yoyo, either disarm her or yank her close so you can give her a taste of the electric shock power.

Also tell her if you're supposed to make the world a better place how are you going to do it without power?! If you just wanted power you'd be taking their panties by force, not asking!

"you wish for me to fight evil with no power at all?! your Yo-Yo is your power, you are using it to fight, what power to you propose i fight with if not this panty power!?"

It's not the power issue she's mad about. It's that we asked about a reward right off. They actually DID know our dad, suit and all, and we kind of just said 'I'll work for a fee, even if it is my father'.

For now? I figure electricity attack, but back off and let's try to renegotiate.

"Sorry, it's hard to trust people after your best friend turns on you. Besides, ever since I got this suit I've been attacked by people with super-powers all over the place!"

Might not stop Rad, but hopefully it will get her to change her mind about Saitnen.

>>563512
She said Saitnen was corrupt and power-lusting. It makes sense to point out that he's doing this because he's honor-bound to do so, and not because he actually wants to have anything to do with this.
Likewise, it makes sense to point out she wants to free a killer so the killer will help her, which is most definitely a power grab.

Pointing out she's being hypocritical should take some of the wind out of her sails.

>>563493

"If people stopped attacking me, I wouldn't need more power. You basically just proved my point for me."

"...I also promised dad, sorry. That and being a superhero."

>>563493
You're making a lot of assumptions about me from ONE fucking request.
I'm weak, you're clearly stronger than me, why NOT get more powerful? It isn't even greedy or lustful, I'm just trying to survive in this insane world that's trying to kill me EVERY DAY, EVERY MINUTE. If I don't get more panties, I'm going to get my ass killed by a bunch of insane, malevolent people!

Like YOU!

Say this while you fight and do things other suggestions ask you to do, you may calm her down. Talking and moving and fighting are not exclusive actions!

Quick, smother the flames on those two people! Make sure they don't get burned badly.

also ponder why there are civilians and barrels of stuff right here. and how a ground slam started fires. don't stop saving while pondering this

...fine. You want to reschedule this stupidity sometime when we're not surrounded by civilians?

>if she continues to attack or refuses to make a truce
You're really going to let those people get hurt just so you can take your anger out on me? Or for whatever crazy principles you think this is about.

>if that doesn't work
Knock her ass out and help them.

Why are there barrels of flammable materials just lying around?

Tell the jerk lady to save the one in the crevasse. Save the girl on the right with the sweater. Just rip it off her and smother her pants with it.

Yeah forget my last post and help peeps
Will do way more than any words.
How can you be a hero and help people without fuel anyway?

Oh, and a retort for our being crazy: you're the one who was decided attacking someone, and flying a rocket at 100 miles an hour at ground level, and right near all these barrels of apparently flaming material was a good idea!

Geeze, if you don't want to hurt people, maybe you shouldn't fight with rocket fuel in the middle of a city.

>>572595

Try not to tear any of her clothes off. Let's not give this lady any more reason to think we're bad.

Geeze, is everything his fault? I think I'm starting get why everyone else is so leery about you using his tech.

Dispose of them quickly.

Then we need to tie up tentacles there and dump her on the surface so she can be arrested when the cops show up.

Cry bitter tears of justice. These panties will go to a better place where they can do much good.

You should probably try out their power straight away if they grant one. Check your visor to see if you recharged any of your other ability energy as well.

It might be an idea to lie low until your date tomorrow. Perhaps you can scout out the police station from a distance. It might be good to plan for retrieving the sword with your fathers soul in it. Also prepare for your date tomorrow.

...is that an option? I guess it depends on if your friend actually got the cops against you.

And you did just cause a lot of property damage. And I'm not even sure what they charge you with for accidentally ripping someone's clothes off. Is that assault?

I suppose if you want to be a hero though, step one is acting like one. Carry the prisoner to the surface, make sure the civilians you saved are still okay.

>>589076
I think ripping someone's clothes off is Indecent Assault. Still, it was an accident.
>>589067
Creepy crawly there should be locked up as soon as possible. Prison, an asylum, some mixture of both that specializes in super powered opportunistic cannibals.. anything that will ensure that her next meal isn't people.

I grab the Tentacle Lady and hop out of the sewers

Looks like the two people I saved are fine, or fine-ish. looks like the officials are starting to arrive, so I'm not sticking around to make sure.

(II)
The Police might be after me but I'll have to take that risk, Creepy Crawler here is too dangerous to let go free.

(III)
I arrive at a rooftop across from the station . . . hmm there seems to be some sort of commotion going on down there.

Squint. Can we see what the commotion is, or who's involved? Be nice to have some idea before we go butting in, if we don't have to.

can your goggles do something about this?

>>594610
Give Ms Hentai here some more sedation so she doesn't wake up while you're distracted, then scope it out. If you have to intervene then bring her with you and hand her off to the cops to shove in a cell while you deal with whatever.

I go in for a closer look

. . .

I don't believe it! That's Freddy Trill! I've known him since grades school he could convince anybody of anything, last I heard he'd become some sort of big shot lawyer . . .

I wonder how he's involved in all this . . . Oh shit! it's that robot from the hospital, this can't be good.

Reporter: ". . .Mister Trill! how do you feel about the allegations that letting a dangerous robot back on the street is negligence on the highest level!"

Freddy Trill: "Robophobic propaganda, MR-C02 simply suffered some protocol glitches as a result of contracting the dreaded 'Miss Mercy' virus."

The crowds gasp and murmur amongst themselves

Freddy Trill: "Okay now settle down, there's nothing to worry about, it's been thoroughly purged from her system, she's in perfect working order now, isn't that right Czaro-two?

Doctor Czaro: "Yes I am a-gain work-king pur-fact-lee."
"I a-poll-a-jize for the prop-pur-tea dam-age I caused."
"I plan to pay for it out of my re-pair sa-lair-ee"

I-I don't know how to feel about this, also it seems nobody's noticed me yet.

go in and,in a gesture of goodwill, offer to shake her hand.
"Good to see you back in working order, ma'am! Also, uh, here. This thing was trying to eat people, I took care of it."
>set down the squid monster on the stoop

Be properly heroic-awkward and you'll be fiiiiine.

>I-I don't know how to feel about this
Legal system at work. Not your end of it. All you can do is stop baddies when they're doing bad- it's not up to you to be the judge and jury too.

Maybe she's still got her day in court, maybe she's actually been repaired or rehabilitated, maybe it's a sham. You'll find out if she comes after you again, later.

Still, kind of weird those guys before wanted to bust her out if she had a lawyer to get her off.

>what do
Wait till they leave, and then deliver your prisoner. Or if they take too long, find the back door.

>also
Hey, who's that in the shadows behind them? Is that Paris?

...he paid for the lawyer. He's getting her off to undo your heroics because... of whatever bullshit philosophy he spouted before. Worst case, this may be a trap. Your ex-friend might be trying to bait you.

>>598091
sounds good. if questioned state that you are a firm believer that prison is for rehabilitation not just a place to keep criminals out of the way. so if they are rehabilitated early then being freed is fine.

I'd wait. It looks like our betrayer may be lurking in the shadows, and it'd be awkward to crash someone else's press conference.

>>598118
That's the whole point, though. Heros are big doofy weirdos who beat up supervillians to protect the general public. We should play into that as much as possible.
After dropping the thing we just walk away if our ass of a best friend starts shittin' on us.

>>598122
We just had two back to back fights and cost ourself a friend doing the idiot hero stick. Let's not walk into the obvious trap for the fun of it, thanks.

>>598125
you mean in front of the police station, where anyone attacking would obviously be in the wrong.

>>598118
I have to second this, not because it's an obvious trap and rude, but because it's still going to be awkward as hell and make Saitnen look REALLY bad when she recognizes him and demands/asks for him to return, or otherwise brings up the fact that he took her panties. Seriously. You just know they'll check the new dropoff if that comes up, and then it'll be even more awkward to deal with.

"criminal drop-off"? Toss her in, definitely. Then... don't you have a date at some point?

Pff. This is officially the best police department.

Pin a note to her saying what she did (attempted abduction with intent for cannibalism?) and the address where it happened, and then drop her off.

Then move it, the robot saw you. She'll probably come this way, first chance she gets.

Confidentiality guaranteed!
Make sure it's actually not an incinerator or super villain recruiting station or something, then toss her in.

yeah, a note stating what the crimes were.

Ask the cop what he thinks he's doing. You just delivered a dangerous criminal to them, and stopped like three others before that one. Does he really think the right thing to do here is to stop you?

Oh look, it's your douche rich friend here to interfere in your life, again.

Explain to the cop that you are not currently committing a crime, nor do you intend to. What is he accusing you of?

If he's not a cop, and just a vigilante, attacking you when you're not doing anything wrong, puts him in the wrong.

For what, my addiction to JUSTICE? Seriously though, what gives.

ask for the charges. if they can't give you any then they are out of line and you will report it to their Superior.

You're hurting man, and I don't want that hurt to make you ruin your life.

Paris Kane: "You're father is dead Sai, beating up all the weirdos in the world isn't going to bring him back."

I'm not trying to bring him back from the dead, or even to be some hero vigilante. I'm trying to stay alive when crazy people keep attacking me. Not using the gear wasn't enough to save my father, and it won't be enough to keep these same lunatics from attacking me going "give me the gear I know you have it hidden somewhere".

Let's just go with him. I have a feeling he may be right about the gear we are using. He is our best friend after all and I'm kinda sick of fighting at the moment

>Paris Kane: "You're father is dead Sai, beating up all the weirdos in the world isn't going to bring him back."
You know, maybe that would be true if I was batman, and my dad was killed by random muggers. But my dad was murdered by a bunch of crazy weirdo ninjas. Beating up weirdos is directly related to getting justice for his murder.

And come on, the weirdos keep finding me, not the other way around.

Look, if you don't believe me, how about you stick around? Give me a chance to prove to you I'm telling the truth. You can keep an eye on me, or help me deal with the next one.

"Beating up weirdos means we get less weirdos weirding people out in our weirdness-attracting town. It's basic geography."

Use the tentacle power to grab Don's pistol. Use it against Paris, he's wearing armor.

>>738512
I'm joining this consensus of "Dude these guys keep coming after me to kill my shit in, what do you WANT me to do? My dad was a chode, IDGAF but I don't want to die either here."

>>738512
Excuse me, I hate my father.
Know why? He's affiliated with anarchists with anger problems, he invented this powerful suit powered by perversion, he BROUGHT in the weirdest freaks that eat and hurt people with a dimensional rift 20 years ago, he's the reason my life is currently a living hell where everyone thinks I'm some power mad, perverted criminal, and worst of all he isn't REALLY dead. His soul is in a sword or some shit.

If he gets out of there, I'm killing him all over again.
Paris, if I have a problem, it's that you don't trust me. You want to talk power mad? How about the spoiled son of some rich dude who loves him very much, showering him with everything he could possibly want, women flock to him like water, all the while thinking he's so much better than everyone else.

Hey, remember those cops? Remember how you managed to convince them not to arrest me when I was attacked by a robot? Before when you thought this super suit was cool? Do you remember that? It wasn't that long ago, you didn't even my when it scored me my first date. It was borrowed artificial power and you were proud of me until I revealed to you it was built by my father and powered by panties, as if that changed EVERYTHING.

Let's talk about your power huh? Built by your dad and fueled by money, gee fucking wilikers, I think you need an intervention.

>>738512
Yeah, but it'll make there be a lot less of those weirdos preying on innocent civilians, and who said anything about bringing him back? I just want to honor his last wish and make the world a better place so his soul doesn't come back to haunt me.

And really, what the hell is your problem, man!? I open up to you about this issue I've got and you flip out and immediately try to get me arrested! Would it kill you to give me the benefit of the doubt, and just talk to me normally, without all the bullshit ultimatums and threats, like a friend would? Like, here i am fighting for my life, trying to make sense of all this, and instead of working with me you go all antagonistic. Can't you see that all you're doing is adding another group of assholes trying to mess up my life?

>>738512
Like what exactly. Haven't committed murder... haven't stolen anything... been assaulted several times, and protected myself, that all falls under self-defense...

Minor property damage I guess but that's all covered under good Samaritan laws in preventing worse problems.

It's not like the suit I'm wearing is regulated, either, so you can't even get me for concealed carry.

There are some good ideas here, but I think we need to focus on the ones reaching out to him / appealing to his better nature, rather than the ones expressing anger.

He thinks we're far enough gone we need an intervention. If we respond with anger, he'll think he's failing to get through to us and has to do the hard thing to help us. If we remain calm and don't act crazy, and reach back to him, he might think we're not too far gone.

Actually, being on the roof might be a trespassing, if that's a private building and roof access is restricted.

Depends. Do you have a sufficiently destructive security system at your place? You know it's where the army of whores will raid for intel.

Just go home, reevaluate your priorities. Do you even still want to fight for justice? you do Maybe you can have a dramatic rooftop scene at sunset where you sigh a lot while monologuing. Call Paris and have him meet you in person at a private location alone. Have a frank discussion about the last few days and explain your position clearly.

Call him later. Make no promises and show some restraint, he's unstable and nervous.

But right now, set up defenses and grab the lab notes.

You might not care about your dad's silly experiments but its yours now.

Don't let anyone try to force you into feeling bad about this whole silly mess. You did not go off on a panty stealing spree. You have got attacked by assholes constantly for the past few days and have just made due the best you could.

Also the powers it gives you might be the only thing keeping you alive. If you suddenly give it up and become normal the next time a crazy assassin shows up you are fucked.

And what you need to do is of course to consider how messed up your father's legacy is, and how what you just did was complicit in it. Yes panties power your armor, but it's one thing to profit from humiliating someone who just tried to murder you and a very different thing to profit from humiliating someone who did nothing to you and was simply an easy target. If you want to improve the world instead of being just another costumed maniac you'll have to do better at remembering the difference, and that starts with apologizing and giving them back if you haven't already fed them to the machine.

Why did you yank your little sister's panties from her butt. Why.

Shame on you.

Now seriously, get her new clothes, and pick out replacement parts for the eye socket and right arm. You might want to ask her where to find storage and a crafting table.

Also, does she have an ID or did your dad refuse to personify her for sex toy reasons? Actually, is she your sister or did your dad have some colleagues who worked on her as a side project? And of course you need to ask her if she knows anything about this @#$%ed up suit of STD perversion.

basic assistance mostly, polishing things, cleaning dishes, fetching things from the store that sort of stuff.

Megam: " . . . I will go there, do not worry I will clean the floor before I leave."

Saitnen: "Clean the floor?"

I take a closer look at the dirt she's noticed, it's kind of in a strange pattern.

Looks like tire treads. Only one set, so either something came out, something went in and then cleaned itself somehow before leaving, or something went in and is still in there. Inspect the police tape, does it look like it's been removed and then stuck back in place? Also, does the door open in or out, or slide, or what? Inform Megam she does not need to clean this, it may be a clue or evidence.

Follow those tread marks.

I love that she's the first person to just accept the explanation that Dad was a terrible pervert.

>basic assistance mostly, polishing things, cleaning dishes, fetching things from the store that sort of stuff.
So she doesn't have the technical experience to work on / help with your gear? Oh well. Although I suppose it's possible Dad was just under utilizing her, just because he wanted a maid.

ARK should have it's plans and files stored somewhere, even if they went out of business. Or failing that, whoever bought their liquidated assets on the cheap when they went out of business should. (Or if all else fails, there's the patent office).

You need to give this poor girl access to a television, or a radio, or a computer with the internet, or something. She shouldn't be dependent on what scraps of information people decide to tell her. Especially if you're going to be leaving her alone here in between visits.

Hey, good eye! Drag marks. Or tire tracks. These might be a clue.

Hey, this is an order. As of now, looking out for your own well being is a higher priority than cleaning. I appreciate you wanting to help, but don't push yourself too hard, okay?

okay, well, turn her back off before you leave so we don't need to worry about that power issue.

Strike a heroic pose and tell her in your best hero tone that you are going to help her get repaired, before throwing an around her, calling her sis, and telling her you and her are the only family you have now.

>>746016
Might be a memory issue as well as a power issue, if she doesn't remember so many things. Inquire.

>Looks like tire treads.
it's gotta be, but indoors?

one set of tracks, that's also pretty strange.

she's about as much my sister as the microwave.

Saitnen: "Hey, this is an order. As of now, looking out for your own well being is a higher priority than cleaning"

Megam: "I understand. Replacing me would cost you additional expenses."

Saitnen: "Eh, close enough. Also you should power back down for now."

Megam: "It will be done."

(II)
The tracks seem to go into the back yard.

Looks like some of the cops are still poking around.

(III)

Officer Cap: "Oh Hello Mr. Soulsworn, Sorry about the inconvenience but the investigation is still underway."

>she's about as much my sister as the microwave.
The microwave doesn't talk. ...and even if it does, it doesn't treat you like a person, or share your understanding for what a perverse jerk your dad could be.

>Officer Cap: "Oh Hello Mr. Soulsworn, Sorry about the inconvenience but the investigation is still underway."
That's okay. Did the crime scene guys manage to match these tracks to anything? A tire thread, maybe?

Does the trail continue past the fence? Can you follow it?

If we can't follow this lead (or the best we can do is encourage the cops to figure out what made this for us), I think the next thing you should do is poke around the ARK building, see if you ca find something to find robo(-won't-admit-she's-a)-sis.

Dude, she's the closest thing to a plucky sidekick you've got right now. Treat her nicely and get her some combat upgrades.

Close the investigation soon. Paris has the police in his pocket.

This end of the tire tracks leads away; where in the lab is the other end? Also, inspect the fence. Can you tell whether it has been broken inwards or outwards?

>she's about as much my sister as the microwave.
Your microwave doesn't have conversations with and/or sass you. ...Right?

Take a look at the fence wires. Are they bending out, or in? Because if they're bending out you need to tell the cops that you think something might have escaped from your dad's lab, you don't know what since he kept a lot secret from you, please do not blame me if whatever it is starts causing trouble I am telling you this and being cooperative right now as soon as I found out about it.

Yeah . . . lets not get into that asshole

Saitnen: "That's okay. Did the crime scene guys manage to match these tracks to anything? A tire thread, maybe?"

Officer Cap: "They're a custom job that's for sure, I doubt their's another pair like them in the city"

>Can you tell whether it has been broken inwards or outwards?
it looks like they've been cut with some sort of saw

Saitnen: "Does the trail continue past the fence? Can you follow it?"

Officer Cap: "I'm afraid not, once they reach the road they become impossible to follow."

check if any of your various upgrades can help.

... I got nothing.

The road's perfectly clean, but that's just the street sweepers that the city commissioned. None of the rails have been broken, so using an all-terrain vehicle to dive into the water is silly and unlikely. Building a new road over the tire tracks is madness, that hatch doesn't go under sea level at low tide, and A.R.K. could just confiscate your dad's work with some bull^&*( legal work if they needed to steal it.

The funny thing is how those tracks are extremely perpendicular to a narrow road overlooking a sharp set of cliffs. How many drivers enter the road at a 90 degree angle? My guess is that the vehicle used was smaller than a car, possibly capable of turning in place. A robot? Either way, it's still someone stealing your stuff, and there are too many robots and vehicles in this city to narrow the perpetrator down with tire tracks.

>you need to tell the cops that you think something might have escaped from your dad's lab, you don't know what since he kept a lot secret from you, please do not blame me if whatever it is starts causing trouble I am telling you this and being cooperative right now as soon as I found out about it.

>>748265
So... what, a segway or something?

>>748265
Well if they're one of a kind you'll just have to keep an eye out for them. Not sure if that makes it more likely the treads belong to some custom vehicle the baddies used, or if they're from something your dad built and they stole.

Oh hey look, the ARC building is right there. That's an easy lead to follow up on. Let's check it out.

Well I needed to go to A.R.K. Systems anyways, Might as well keep an eye out for small wheeled things while I'm there.

Well here it is the ARK building

*SHHHHH*

I always thought these automatic doors were really cool, but they seem not so great in the security department.

aww crap looks like I entered the tour door.

Speakers: " . . . and to the left you will see our first series of medical robots the dependable MR-A, or Mr. Arthur . . .

It's kinda strange this place is still running, I though this whole building was shut down

Speakers: " . . . and now a word from our creator Doctor Noah Kissed!"

(III)

Noah Kissed: "Hello my friends I'm so happy you've decided to take the A.R.K systems tour! I'm so touched that I'm going to have to show you something special, something that isn't even on the market yet! I'd like to introduce you to the latest member of the MR family; MR-C or "Miss Mercy" as we call her here at the lab! Say hello Mercy!

Miss Mercy: "Hiya nice people, I just wuv making people feel better!"


Wait! that's the robot that attacked me at the hospital! A.R.K. Systems made that awful thing!?
no wonder they went out of business . . .

You realize odds are she was using this place as her "secret" base. That's why the lights are still on.

>>749263

Continue the tour. Maybe we'll exit through the gift shop?

>>749263
well hey now we know where we might get usable spare parts

>>749263
Mercy looks decidedly not psychopathic. If she was made here, that probably means at least one former employee here would know enough about her inner workings to reprogram her into a psychopath… or perhaps how to taint a replacement part that would cause her to go nutso.

Why did this place get shut down, again? And what other robot models did this place design? I'm thinking you ought to take a look at any surviving former employees and make sure you double or triple-check any replacement parts you can find, just to make sure we don't wind up with a Robot Master situation on our hands the second you fix up Megam. I mean, really, would an evil/mad scientist bent on world domination through corruption of friendly everyday robots be a surprise after everything that's happened, recently?

there was some big issue with robots over seas ten years ago, I don't remember the details, A.R.K. systems was going down hill ever since, they finally closed down last year.

a whole bunch, but their main line was the medical robotics series.

I enter into the gift shop, there's the old acquaintance I expected to find, but hoped I would not.

Anne: "Hello Saitnen."

Saitnen: "Hello Anne. still haunting this hold place?"

Anne: "Is that a joke? tasteless as always."

Doctor Anne R. Kissed, Current Director of A.R.K systems. with a name like that I have to wonder if her father was even worse than mine.

>>749751
> Anne R. Kissed
> wonder if her father was even worse than mine
Is that even a question?

NO DIPLOMACY
NO TOUR
JUST STAB HER IN THE GUT AND TAKE HER UNCONSCIOUS BODY WITH YOU

Her killer android is still on the loose, you cannot let your guard down! Just take her out while you still can!

>>749751
Explain why you're here. Megam's damaged, Dad's not around for repairs anymore, and you were hunting for parts and/or schematics. ARK is supposed to have stuff relevant to her.

Can she help a neighbor out?

Since she's here we might be able to ask her help with fixing Megam. If we can convince her to do it that will probably have better odds than trying to figure out ARK systems ourselves.

explain how a rouge mercy has been on your case and megam is fucked up.

How about not explaining shit to the scientist who works at the company our father let get shut down who happens to be riding a sciency wheelchair with tread patterns on the wheels in the building down the street from where somebody in a wheeled vehicle small enough to enter our father's lab came in and cut their way out in the process of him being murdered?

>>749826
Tread doesn't match

>>749751
Whatever quibbles you had with her in the past, it's time to set them aside. Stop antagonizing her. You're here because Megam needs parts, and Anne probably wants to know about the rogue Mercy unit.
The Mercy unit was probably sent by Anne in the first place, so don't be surprised if she says as much. However, you need to set aside the murder attempts at the moment because Megam needs help much more than you need to get into a pissing contest with an ineffectual villain.
Besides, she's probably pissed at you because of your father; I see no reason to fight over your mutual agreement that your father was an ass.

Weep openly, you've had a really terrible day

Okay, gotta stay focused on why I'm here, and not get into petty bickering, Anne is the only person I know who could fix a robot.

(I)

Saitnen: "Hey so I have a robot named Megam, she got kinda broke in the arm and face, can you fix her?"

Dr.Kissed: "oh yes, I recall selling your father an Additor-89 several years ago. He had made her a bit of a pet project, he was very interested in fixing her factory flaws and sent me copies of his reports and efforts. Ultimately his efforts proved futile and he eventually lost interest.

Saitnen: "Factory flaws?"

Dr.Kissed: "When Az-tech industries developed the Additor series they designed them as vanity products and typically were made fragile so as to encourage purchasing replacements when they inevitably broke down. I can't imagine the cruelty required to build a being so ill equipped to survive in the world."

I get the distinct impression Anne could imagine a lot more cruelty than that . . .

(II)

Saitnen: "So can you fix her? she's missing an arm and eye."

Dr.Kissed: "Of course I can, however the Additor series are not modular and Az-tech did not create repair kits, thus every new part has be manufactured separately. It can be done, but would be prohibitively expensive 15,000$ would be the best estimate I could give you without seeing the damage for myself.

Saitnen: "Holy hell! I could buy a whole new robot for that price!"

Dr.Kissed: "That's the idea."

Do you even have that much money?

You might be better off digging up your dad's notes. He might at least have figured out how to repair those parts.

>>753138
What about transplanting to a chassis that is designed to be less of a maintenance pain?

>>753138
She is a robot. Just take the brain out and put it in a new body. Way cheaper.

>>753138
It's a scrapped production line, isn't it? Aren't there spare or broken chassis we can harvest parts from instead of manufacturing brand new ones?

That's how you fix old cars, after all. You buy a second parts car to strip for parts, or you get the parts you need cheap from junkyards.

Alternatively, could we jury rig components from other product lines? There's likely compatible tech out there, having everything match perfectly isn't so much an issue.

>15,000$
If all else fails, is there any favor the "good" doctor would be willing to accept in lieu of cash payment? You're neighbors, after all, and you have a history.

Actually, what is your history with her? You didn't exactly say.

>>753142
>>753143
I feel like before we move Megami to a completely different chassis than she's used to, we should at least consult with her. I mean, I kind of get the impression her first reaction is to agree to whatever is asked of her, but major body alteration seem like an informed consent situation.

ask if there are any other chassis in storage. also ask if they have any mercy remote shutdown thing. so we can push a button and turn that crazy one off next time it comes after us.

>>753138
"Ok, putting aside the gross lack of ethics involved in designing disposable sentient beings...
Would it be possible to move her over to a more resilient body? Maybe one that is modular and repairable?"

Not even close, I could probably dig up a couple hundred but that's it.
It's possible Dad left me an inheritance but I believe all his money was locked into investments.

Saitnen: " It's a scrapped production line, isn't it?"

Dr.Kissed: "All the production lines around here are scrapped, this is a graveyard for production lines."

Long story short, my dad, Paris's dad and Noah Kissed were all business partners, they had the great idea that their children should all be friends and forced us to spend time together, for the most part it actually worked out.

Me and Paris got along and played all manner of action games, his sister and my brother both seemed to like fashion and poetry a whole lot.

Anne however was a huge nerd who liked boring things like board games and math, combined with the fact that she was allergic to everything, and got exhausted after a walk up stairs ensured that she was the least fun person to be around.
Anne was a chore to be around, She taught me what it meant to really hate someone.

>You might be better off digging up your dad's notes. He might at least have figured out how to repair those parts.
I can take a look around next time I get back to the lab.

Saitnen: "Would it be possible to move her over to a more resilient body? Maybe one that is modular and repairable?"

Dr.Kissed: "Of course. I have many to choose from, this 'Gloomba' pattern for example, very affordable at only 600$"

>>755704
"That's it?! Any android frame would cost at least two thousand in rare materi- oh wait, that's just a tablet. You're a 8!+(3, you know that?

Fine, I'll consider it. But I want a bodyguard frame; Megam isn't the calculating type and I don't have enough people watching my back to assign squad members to R&D.

Tell you what - if I can kill Miss Mercy, can you set up the data upload to replace her kernel with Megam's? You can take any encrypted files she stole."

>>755704
Wow, you're kind of an ass. "Oh no, she was frail and a bit boring! Noooo!"
C'mon dude.
PLANWAYS, finding a new shell might help. See if there's a scrapyard or some kind of fighting tournament or something, make use of your superpowers for PROFITS.

>I have many to choose from, this 'Gloomba' pattern for example, very affordable at only 600$
Sorry, but even with her terrible sense of self worth, a downground that far would have to hurt.

If I found the parts myself, would you be willing to do the repair work on commission? Alternatively, is there anything you're interest in besides cold hard cash? Maybe you could trade some kind of favor for a favor.

>She taught me what it meant to really hate someone.
Hating someone because you don't share an interest or cause they're physically unable to do things is pretty low, man.

>>755704
think you need to get over that, i mean, yeah i can see how some little kids could grump at someone for not playing with them. but holding on to that for so long is kind of messed up.

Saitnen: " . . . one last thing, you wouldn't happen to have an emergency shut off for Mercy would you?"

Dr.Kissed: "No but I do have this tracking remote."

Saitnen: "I guess that could come in hand-"

Dr.Kissed: "80$"

Give her $160 and sarcastically claim that she's so super intelligent that you become a dum-dum in her presence. Then, forcefully rip her clothes off and steal her panties, claiming that she specifically said that was the deal, and that you're too stupid to remember that was sexual harassment. She'll have to decide between suing a fugitive and preserving her ego.

Obvious question:

If I turn on the tracking device, will she be able to tell? It doesn't help as much if it just lets me track her right into an ambush.

Second obvious question:

Does it work? I don't need to pay for repairs, or calibration, or some super rare battery before I can use it, do I?

>$80
Honestly that's probably a fair price for the hardware before we even consider function. I say you buy it.

>she became bitter and superior deciding she was so much smarter than everyone else and no longer wanted to associate with any of us.
So you were all dicks to each other. Maybe you should all grow up and stop acting like sulky children over it.

>what else
Remember to at least discus this with Megam before going through with sticking her in another body. She has a right to have a say in what happens to herself.

yeah, i suppose we can give her a "for what's it's worth, sorry about being a brat when i was a kid"
do NOT expect her to accept it or respond in kind. but just saying it will at least give you some moral high ground to stand on, and with all the weird shit going on around you, you need to take all the moral high ground you can find.

. . . aaaannd here's the place, kinda a crummy neighborhood but then again I AM looking for a criminal.
The tracker seems to indicate she's in the un-boarded window.

Now to decide how to make my dramatic entrance.

don't be dramatic. have your defenses up but just knock on he door. she hasn't technically done anything wrong yet. and she was already released from prison over what happened before, so according to the cops she's innocent. if she strikes you after you just knock on the door then whatever. but for now pretend it really was a virus that made her crazy. if she actually asks what you want you can apologize for the panty thing and do that whole explaining who your dad is, relations to ark and your desires to not die.

We've officially escalated from panty snatching to body snatching, here.

Suffer minor existential crisis. You want to help Megam, but is it really right to leave the other bot body-less?

Then remember she's kind of a jerk and came after you first.

A fitting den of scum and villany for a criminal.

Try being sneaky and climb up the wall and take a peek through the window before you burst in dramatically, you might catch her red-handed doing some criminal activity.

that robot technically hasn't done anything illegal (that I know of) since she was released from prison. I should probably hold off on the dramatics and try to just knock on the door like a normal person.

which probably would be more appropriate if I was dressed liked a normal person

(II)
As I get close to the door I can her people talking inside . . . maybe a little sneakiness can't hurt.
she's seems to be having a conversation with her lawyer.

Trill: "And these will even work on humans?"

Czaro: "They will work on en-ee-thing."

Trill: "Perfect. You should really consider working for us on a more permanent basis, I can assure your we would pay very well for someone of your persuasion."

Czaro: "I have a great deal of work to do. Please leave."

Trill: "Fine, fine. but you'll need us again. And our assistance won't come so cheap next time."

Czaro: "I un-dur-stand. Please leave."

Trill: "of course my lady."

(III)
After a moment her lawyer Freddy Trill leaves the apartment.

Shoot the old man in the dick, kick the door closed, then throw a barrage of every crowd-control weapon you have in the direction of the room. I'm sure she noticed you by now, hold NOTHING back!

wait for him to start closing the door, then close it for him and say "hello trill"
if he reaches into a pocket or for his bag then stop him. "the jig is up, i heard it all."

So either he brought something shady, or he brought something completely normal and the dialog you overheard out of context makes it sound shady.

Bursting in and just attacking anyone would only be proving Paris right. You can't afford to be an asshole vigilante, here.

>what do
We're probably better off following Trill to see if we can learn anything from him. We can easily find Czaro again with the tracker.

Don't confront him in the hall, that will just get her attention. She's not deaf.

I gotta find out more before I make any rash decisions, I have no idea what's in that case so I can't confront Trill on it, not yet at least.
I should tale him and see where he goes, I can always use the tracker to find Czaro again later.

(I)

that's odd, with a fancy suit like that I'd expect him to be heading down town, but instead he's going further into the slums.
Where are you going Trill?

Maybe the docks?
but what would a criminal defense lawyer need to head to the docks for?
(II) after nearly an hour of walking

I was right about the docks, and we're at the edge of town so unless he plans to start swimming Trill's reached his destination, looks like he's headed for that number 13 building.

ether he is doing something illegal or he has a secret orphanage. investigate.

>>769374
Unless you can use one of your stolen powers to listen at a distance, you're going to have to get closer to listen to what goes on inside that warehouse.

>>769374
It's a warehouse. He probably has stuff stored there. Or maybe he has a client who has stuff stored there, and wanted to meet. Since he does house calls, apparently.

You've got the location and if he goes further he might trigger the defense system. Take him down now and interrogate for security codes.

Trill: "The nest of the phoenix."

Big Shot: "Perfect-te-te-te!"

Nest of the Phoenix? what could he be talking about?

That is some weird cybercult shit if I've ever heard it, but also a job for the proper authorities. Let's go check out the classifieds, this super-armor is probably great for heavy lifting jobs

dang, they got two guards. dunno about you but taking two at once is probably still out of our depth. we need hard evidence, if we can get trill arrested it would throw suspicion on all the cases he's worked on, then if mercy does attack us again and we put her away, everyone would be forced to admit she actually is nuts and trill lied about her being better.

(I)
Looks like some seriously illegal stuff is going down here . . .

(II)
. . . which since I'm not police is completely not my problem!

(III)
I need to focus on important stuff! like getting a job.
can't live off the money my dead dad didn't give me forever.
Let's see what the good ol'Bigtown Eye has to say on this.

(IV)
hmmmm looks like I've got four good options today.

construction sounds perfect for a man in a super suit. how many I-beams do you think you could lift?

also, you were keeping an eye on trill because he's in contact with someone that wanted to kill you, specifically you were going to body snatch them for your robot to drive instead. so after you send in a job application go back to her place and see if she still wants to fight you.

oh hey, cop job gives me an idea, why not join the FBI or something?
Like we'll have to go through police training anyways, but FBI would let us go straight to fucking with our shitty friend right back.

It IS the regulatory body in charge of keeping cops on the straight and narrow, after all~

Wait actually would that interfere with our date with that one cop?

Dude, at least lock the doors and set the warehouse on fire.

>which since I'm not police is completely not my problem!
Paris would be so proud.

>job
Hey, lab assistant. You have tons of experience with that, being around your dad. Hang around, beat something up when things go wrong.
