Log:Session 34 (Meta, no ontology)

[10:43] <&Hebizuka> *Welcome back to the Mazes, Jonah. You have visited 115 rooms. Next special room at the 120th. No condition to report. !mrooms3 to continue.* [10:45] * Jonah wipes away the tears on the edges of her eyes, takes a deep breath, and double checks her ammo counts for Malika. [10:45] <Jonah> I forgot if I reloaded it... [10:45] <&Hebizuka> [Mag check] Colt M16A1 "Malika": 20+1/20 [10:45] <Jonah> Okay, good. [10:46] <Jonah> ...I still think ou should have possessed Malika, Carolyn. [10:46] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [10:46] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 5103 - Front door: 5028 - Right door: 2929 - Roomstyle: 290 - Enemy strength: 4 /6 [10:46] <Jonah> Front door it is. [10:46] <&Hebizuka> *You fall through a trapdoor.* [10:47] <Jonah> NOT AGAIN [10:47] <&Hebizuka> *You land (without damage) inside a pitch black room. You can't see a thing...* [10:47] * Jonah keeps her body low to the ground, straining her ears for any sound. [10:47] <&Hebizuka> *You don't hear anything except for your own breathing.* [10:47] <Jonah> *Firing blindly's a bad idea, but worse comes to worst...* [10:48] <Jonah> This seems... distincly familiar. [10:48] <Jonah> Okay, right. Let's... [10:48] * Jonah pulls out her P90 flashlight that also shoots things, and flips the light on. [10:49] <&Hebizuka> *You shed soft light in front of you. You see no creature, just a magazine discarded on the floor.* [10:49] <Jonah> Okay, quick scan for traps, and then let's see that mag. [10:50] <Jonah> ...One of these days I'll find, like. An actual literary magazine. [10:50] <Jonah> I miss reading articles. [10:51] <&Hebizuka> *No trap here.* [10:51] <Jonah> Better safe than sorry. And the mag... [10:51] <&Hebizuka> [Weapon accessory] Magazine: Tavor X95 30-round magazine. Size tier: Medium ; Weight: 1+0.09 (1.09) - [9/30, 9x UHS] [10:53] <Jonah> Er... wait, have I seen this kinda ammo before? It looks... fancy. [10:53] * Jonah pulls it out, trying to see if it matches anything she actually has. [10:53] <&Hebizuka> *The caliber appears to be 5.45x39mm.* [10:55] <Jonah> ...One of the dimensions fits Malika, but the other... [10:55] <Jonah> Let's not take chances. [10:55] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [10:55] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 5439 - Front door: 3694 - Right door: 63 - Roomstyle: 352 - Enemy strength: 3 /6 [10:56] * Jonah heads through the front door, stopping only to turn the light off and put Malika back in her hands. [10:58] <&Hebizuka> *You go down a volley of stairs.* [10:58] <&Hebizuka> *They lead towards an armory. You see several posters and announcements about firearms - many of which are ads. You also see a locker, and there is a weapon inside of it. On the floor, you also notice something interesting...* [10:59] * Jonah groans at her lack of space, and double checks for traps before doing anything else. [11:01] <&Hebizuka> *No traps here.* [11:02] <Jonah> Alright - something interesting first. [11:02] <&Hebizuka> [Key item] A lockpicking kit, to bypass container locks. [11:03] <Jonah> ...Man, I haven't seen a kit this nice since my old one got confiscated at Paladin school. [11:03] <&Hebizuka> *Take?* [11:04] * Jonah quickly scoops it up, attaching it to her belt. [11:04] <&Hebizuka> *You can now attempt lockpicking locks on containers without resorting to brute force.* [11:06] <&Hebizuka> *What's your next move?* [11:14] * Jonah hums a small ditty to herself as she pats her newfound, trusty picks on her hip, before heading over to the locker and the weapon. [11:14] <&Hebizuka> *The locker is open, thankfully enough. It doesn't even have a lock. The weapon is...* [11:15] <&Hebizuka> [Weapon] Class 3 - MAC-10 machine pistol | .45 ACP - Semi/Full | No accessory | MAC 30-round magazine, no +1 | Weight: 3 - [7/30, 7x TPD] - Cond: Fair / Clns: Clean [11:16] <Jonah> This - oooh, this looks pretty fancy... [11:18] <Jonah> Mmm. Not enough room, though. [11:18] <Jonah> And I don't want to throw away my mushrooms quite yet... [11:18] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [11:18] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 7269 - Front door: 305 - Right door: 2901 - Roomstyle: 197 - Enemy strength: 4 /6 [11:19] <Jonah> Hi-oh, hi-oh, through the front door I go. [11:22] <&Hebizuka> *A mess hall. There appears to be a firearm abandoned on the floor. It looks kinda big, too...* [11:23] <Jonah> Ignore the obvious bait, let's check for traps first. [11:23] <&Hebizuka> *There are no traps here.* [11:24] <Jonah> That's... okay, weapon time I guess. [11:25] <&Hebizuka> [Weapon] Class 1 - MPS AA-12 shotgun | 12 gauge - Semi/Full | No accessory | AA-12 20-round drum, no +1 | Weight: 22 - [11/20, 11x Flechette] - Cond: Good / Clns: Dirty [11:25] <Jonah> ...Jonah /waaaaant./ [11:26] <Jonah> But, mmmm. It's not Pump action. [11:26] <Jonah> This is... this is /hard./ [11:29] <Jonah> Ugh. I'm sorry, Remington. [11:29] <Jonah> I really am. [11:30] * Jonah cries ugly, ugly bitch tears as she unloads her Remington and takes the muzzle choke off, before removing all the Flachette rounds and refilling the AA-12's magazine with 20 Buckshot shells. [11:31] <&Hebizuka> *Unloaded: 870 Marine Magnum. Added 8 buckshot shells to backpack - total carried 75 in vest + 33 in backpack.* [11:31] <&Hebizuka> *Removed: Shotgun choke.* [11:32] <&Hebizuka> *Unloaded: AA-12.

Used 20 buckshot shells. 13 remaining in backpack.* [11:33] <Jonah> 's... put you somewhere nice, Remington. Nice and out of my backpack. Then I'll put on the muzzle choke for you, AA, and put you in the backpack. [11:34] <&Hebizuka> *Installed: Shotgun choke on AA-12.* [11:35] <&Hebizuka> *Removed Remington 870MM from backpack, swapped for MPS AA-12. No weight change.* [11:36] <&Hebizuka> *All done.* [11:36] <&Hebizuka> [Weight] (Pack/main inv) 59.67/60 [11:37] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [11:37] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 4526 - Front door: 7294 - Right door: 6547 - Roomstyle: 273 - Enemy strength: 6 /6 [11:38] <Jonah> They see me rolling, they hating, they trying to catch me going through the front door. [11:38] <Jonah> ...Hmm, I need to work on my singing. [11:38] <&Hebizuka> *Someone, somewhere, a facepalm is heard.* [11:42] <&Hebizuka> *You make it in a regular, featureless room. Only one door here. (!mrooms1). There is an object on the floor.* [11:43] * Jonah checks for traps first, only stopping to look at the object if it's perfectly safe. [11:43] <&Hebizuka> *No traps here.* [11:43] <&Hebizuka> [Meds] Bandage - Cures a single wound - Weight: 0.1 [11:44] <Jonah> ....Pffffffffffft. [11:44] * Jonah yoinks it, because why not.

[11:45] <&Hebizuka> [Weight] (Pack/main inv) 59.77/60 [11:47] <&Hebizuka> *You have reached a circular room with a slot machine standing in the middle. This is the MazeSlots! The machine has 4 credits loaded.* [11:47] <Jonah> ,,,Let's see if there's any keyholes for me to try picking. [11:47] <Jonah> Oh god this would be such a bad idea... [11:48] <&Hebizuka> *You can't see any keyholes or anything that would allow you to use the lockpicking kit. Nice try.* [11:50] <Jonah_> If I die. [11:50] <Jonah_> I'm going to be so pissed. [11:50] * Jonah_ pulls the slot, and backs up to the wall as fast as she can. [11:51] <&Hebizuka> *The reels are spinning...* [11:51] <Jonah_> Oh god oh god oh gods. [11:52] * Jonah_ braces herself in the corner, training Malika's sights on the slot machine. [11:52] <&Hebizuka> Row 1: Tentacle - Explosion - Crossed $ [11:52] <&Hebizuka> Row 2: Bandage - Bullet - Explosion [11:52] <&Hebizuka> Row 3: Cherry - Amulet - Wrench [11:52] <&Hebizuka> *Nothing this time. 3 credits left.* [11:53] <Jonah> Alright, let's... try this again. [11:53] * Jonah cautiously approaches the lever to pull it again, before retreating back to the corner like before. [11:53] <Jonah> ...Carolyn would laugh so hard if she saw me like this.

Nothing can wake up the victim until the end of those 10 turns. - Weight: 0.1 [11:56] <&Hebizuka> *1 credit left.* [12:00] * Jonah sighs, tossing out the band - wait a sec. [12:00] * Jonah shoves the syringe of Lorazepam into her vest instead. That should just barely fit... [12:00] <&Hebizuka> *It does!* [12:01] <&Hebizuka> [Weight] (Tacvest/General) 5/5 [12:01] <Jonah> Alright. One last pull, and back to the corner!

Whatever it is. The machine then bleeps, and a mechanical voice says: "POTENCY REFILLED!"* [12:04] <&Hebizuka> *All the arms are then retracted, and the machine returns to looking like a normal slot machine.* [12:04] <Jonah> Hey, hey no no no get away from me you - ahhhhhhhh! [12:04] <Jonah> Needles! FUCKING NEEDLES. [12:04] <&Hebizuka> *Your crotch itches for a moment... but it passes.* [12:04] <Jonah> Potency - fuck Potency, I only yanked it the one time you stupid machine! [12:05] * Jonah only barely resists kicking the stupid thing. [12:05] <&Hebizuka> *The machine does not reply, and is out of credits. You can leave through any of the three doors here. Next special room at the 125th.* [12:05] <Jonah> Fucking. Penises. [12:05] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [12:05] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 4349 - Front door: 798 - Right door: 3288 - Roomstyle: 23 - Enemy strength: 6 /6 [12:05] <Jonah> Just - fuck it, front door. [12:07] <&Hebizuka> *An office, with its four computers! There's a load-bearing gear item on the floor as well...* [12:08] <Jonah> Okay, first - traps. [12:08] <&Hebizuka> *None.* [12:08] <Jonah> These computers probably have rape-claws too - oh, goody. [12:08] <Jonah> Then, gear. [12:08] <Jonah> God I hope it's a bigger backpack. [12:08] <&Hebizuka> [LBE] (Leg rig) Utility rig: Capacity 4 units [12:08] <Jonah> That's. [12:08] <Jonah> I AM OKAY WITH THIS. [12:08] * Jonah straps that shit on asap. [12:09] <&Hebizuka> *Basically a dump bag worn on the leg. Wear it on the left or on the right?* [12:09] <Jonah> Left. [12:09] <Jonah> Right's reserved for special stuff. [12:09] <Jonah> Like a garter. [12:10] <&Hebizuka> [Weight] (Left rig): 0/4 [12:10] <Jonah> Okay, then - computers. Let's see if anyone was silly enough to leave their passwords. [12:11] <&Hebizuka> *You fail to find any password notice, and none of them are currently logged in.* [12:11] <Jonah> Dang. Well - any interesting paperwork? Newspapers, personal information, client info...? [12:11] <Jonah> Come on, it's an office, there's always /something./ [12:12] <&Hebizuka> *This office is surprisingly clean and boring, free of anything that seems interesting to look at - just the usual office gear.* [12:12] <&Hebizuka> *Then it dawns on you. The login sessions don't even have login names pre-entered. It's an unused office room.* [12:13] <Jonah> ...WHY DOES MAZEWORLD HAVE POWERED OFFICE ROOMS IF NO ONE USES THEM. [12:13] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [12:13] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 7318 - Front door: 4998 - Right door: 7175 - Roomstyle: 61 - Enemy strength: 4 /6 [12:13] * Jonah slams her way through the front door. [12:13] <&Hebizuka> *A timeless question that will survive through the ages, I'm sure.* [12:14] <&Hebizuka> *You go up a few stairs, and reach a scratched room. There are @graffiti everywhere. You spot a large box of ammunition.* [12:15] <Jonah> Searching for traps is getting kind of mindless now. Peaceful, even. Like a walking meditation. [12:16] <Jonah> Let's see if there are any here. [12:17] <&Hebizuka> *There are none* [12:18] <Jonah> Okay, well - let's see the ammo. [12:18] <Jonah> @graffiti [12:18] <MazeBot> do you seriously believe you're gonna find anything interesting on that wall? [12:19] <Jonah> Not really. But it's like to dream. [12:19] <&Hebizuka> [Ammunition] Taser cartridges, 20 rounds - weight 2 [12:19] <&Hebizuka> *The box they're into advertises 25 cartridges; someone must have taken a few.* [12:21] <Jonah> Fancy, but I don't have a taser. [12:21] <Jonah> On the other hand... [12:21] * Jonah shoves the taser cartridges into her new leg rig! [12:22] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [12:22] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 6240 - Front door: 2601 - Right door: 455 - Roomstyle: 165 - Enemy strength: 4 /6 [12:22] * Jonah heads through the front door! [12:22] <&Hebizuka> [Weight] (Left rig) 2/4 [12:23] <&Hebizuka> *You go up a bunch of stairs.* [12:27] <&Hebizuka> *You are now in a regular, featureless room. There are creatures lurking here: two black leopards.* [12:29] * Jonah gulps, and grips Malika tighter - how hostile are the leopards at the moment? [12:30] <&Hebizuka> *They seem antsy.* [12:30] <Jonah> *...Hungry antsy, horny antsy...?* [12:31] <&Hebizuka> *ANGRY antsy.* [12:31] <Jonah> Great. [12:32] <Jonah> @cover [12:32] <MazeBot> A metallic container (Health: 40, LDV modifier: -3. AC Eqv: Kevlar-3. Pass-through threshold: 10+ dmg. Pain modifier: x0.50) [12:33] * Jonah dives for cover, praying Malika will keep her safe. [12:33] <&Hebizuka> *Roll a 2d6 to take cover.* [12:33] <Jonah> @roll 1#2d6 [12:33] <MazeBot> Jonah: 7 [12:34] <&Hebizuka> *You successfully make it behind the container. You have maintained stealth! If you wish to attack, you will get the drop on them.* [12:34] <&Hebizuka> *What is your next move?* [12:35] <Jonah> Carolyn, I hope your taste in guns is good. [12:35] * Jonah sets up the reflex sight, and... [12:36] <Jonah> *Malika, 8 shots - first four on Leopard A, second four on Leapord B* [12:36] <&Hebizuka> *Which fire mode?* [12:36] <Jonah> *Semi* [12:36] <&Hebizuka> *Roll twice - once per target* [12:37] <Jonah> @roll 4#2d6 [12:37] <MazeBot> Jonah: 6;8;9;4 [12:37] <Jonah> @roll 4#2d6 [12:37] <MazeBot> Jonah: 8;7;10;12 [12:39] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 1-4 vs Leopard 1: Miss, Hit, Hit, Miss.* [12:39] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 1-4 vs Leopard 2: Hit, Hit, Hit, Critical hit.* [12:41] <&Hebizuka> *Both of the leopards are killed on the spot; the second one has been particularly mangled up - so bad there's huge exit wounds on the big cat's chest...* [12:41] <&Hebizuka> Jonah ["Malika"] Black leopard [12:41] <&Hebizuka> Jonah ["Malika"] Black leopard [12:41] <&Hebizuka> *End of fight! (1 turn)* [12:41] <Jonah> ...Thank you, Malika. Thank you, Carolyn. [12:41] <&Hebizuka> *Shots fired that turn: 6/8* [12:41] * Jonah gives the metal rose on Malika's side a quick kiss, before hugging it tight. [12:42] <Jonah> That's... well, how hungry am I feeling? [12:42] <Jonah> Maybe it's time to fill up. [12:42] <&Hebizuka> *You don't feel hungry at all.* [12:43] <Jonah> *But am I satiated?* [12:44] <&Hebizuka> *Neither.* [12:45] <Jonah> Time to fill up, then. [12:45] * Jonah draws her tantou, and gets to work on harvesting her some meat. [12:48] <&Hebizuka> *You spend 2 turns butchering the two corpses...* [12:49] <&Hebizuka> *You have acquired the following:* [12:49] <&Hebizuka> [Food] 22x Meat - Raw game meat, black leopard - 1d7 - weight 1/item [12:50] <Jonah> Time to eat. [12:50] * Jonah feasts on 3 pieces of raw meat. [12:50] <&Hebizuka> *It's pretty chewy, and not particularly delicious, but it does the job.* [12:51] <&Hebizuka> *You were content, now you're even more so.* [12:51] <Jonah> And... another three, then. [12:51] * Jonah grumbles as she eats. The blood is still warm on the meat, but it's not all that yummy. [12:52] <&Hebizuka> *It tastes bloody and fresh, that's for sure.* [12:52] <&Hebizuka> *You feel very content.* [12:53] <Jonah> ...Geeze, I have enough meat for a while. [12:53] * Jonah noms on another set of three, making sure to drink down the blood like a vampire. [12:53] <&Hebizuka> *Those three pieces weren't fantastic.* [12:55] <Jonah> Yeah, the blood thing does that. [12:55] <Jonah> Still, waste not, want not - another three. [12:55] <Jonah> I should have 10 pieces after this. [12:55] <&Hebizuka> *You feel satiated once again.* [12:56] <&Hebizuka> *You are indeed down to ten chunks of meat.* [12:57] <Jonah> That's... hmmm. [12:57] <Jonah> Alright, I'm feeling a bit ballsy. [12:57] <Jonah> Let's eat two chunks of meat. [12:57] <&Hebizuka> *They didn't taste awesome.* [12:58] <Jonah> But at least I'm not sick. Another two. [12:59] <&Hebizuka> *You're feeling a bit stuffed by now.* [12:59] <Jonah> Okay, that's enough in my tummy. [12:59] <Jonah> ...Even if I could really use some fiber in my diet. [12:59] <&Hebizuka> *There are six pieces left on the floor.* [12:59] * Jonah shoves two pieces of raw meat into her leg rig, filling it to the brim. [13:00] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [13:00] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 2617 - Front door: 4744 - Right door: 640 - Roomstyle: 176 - Enemy strength: 2 /6 [13:00] <&Hebizuka> [Weight] (Left rig) 4/4 [13:01] <Jonah> Alright. I'm filled and reasonably okay. [13:01] <Jonah> If really, really bloody. [13:01] <Jonah> Let's go through the front door. [13:01] <&Hebizuka> *A warehouse room. Only one door ahead! (!mrooms1). There is an object on the floor...* [13:02] <Jonah> Let's check for traps first... [13:02] <&Hebizuka> *None!* [13:03] <Jonah> Alrighty! [13:03] <Jonah> Opened the floor. [13:03] <Jonah> Getting on the floor. [13:03] <Jonah> Everybody walk the dinosaur. [13:04] <Jonah> ...Also check the object. [13:04] <&Hebizuka> *Facepalming intensifies* [13:04] <&Hebizuka> [Crafting] (Toolkit) Basic Toolkit; allows for crafting items on Level 1 blueprints. [13:04] <Jonah> This. [13:05] <Jonah> This is mine. [13:05] <Jonah> And - I rhink this fits with my belt? [13:05] <&Hebizuka> *It does. You are now equipped with the Level 1 toolkit.* [13:06] <Jonah> !mrooms1 [13:06] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Unique door: 5388 - Roomstyle: 537 - Enemy strength: 6 /6 [13:06] <Jonah> Heading on through. [13:06] <Jonah> I got a GOOD FEELING. [13:07] <&Hebizuka> *You make your way inside a strange workshop. The first things you notice are the low light, and the odd smell. In the back is a thin man with unruly black hair and a pair of goggles over the forehead, apparently busy with something that looks like a prosthetic limb. You have reached the bionics workshop.* [13:10] <Jonah> ...This is even sketchier than I imagined it'd be. [13:10] <Jonah> Are you, ah - Mister Chaosclaw? [13:10] <Jonah> Kiosklaw? Chaosmaw? [13:10] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] *Lifts his head, and sees you.* THE NAME, MADAM, IS LANCE! LANCE CHAOSCLAW! MazeWorld's SOLE and ONLY bionics engineer. The best, the one, and only. Me. [13:11] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] BE WELCOME IN MY WORKSHOP, MADAM. *He barrels towards you, and extends a surprisingly large hand for you to shake. [13:12] * Jonah shakes his hand quite vigourously, a small smile blooming on her face despite herself. Mad scientists are mad scientists, be they magical or prosthetic. It's a bit... comforting. [13:13] <&Hebizuka> *But Lance shakes it MUCH more vigorously than you. Which is unsettling.* [13:13] <Jonah> I'm quite welcomed, thank you. I do have a few questions about your bionics, before I commit to anything...? [13:13] <&Hebizuka> *His hand, however, isn't augmented. In fact, none of his body seems visibly augmented.* [13:14] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Of course, of course. I am always happy to answer your questions about my MASTERCRAFT. Bionics are the FUTURE of humanity! How, pray tell, may I help you? [13:14] <Jonah> Well, first - I have some bionics to return to you. [13:15] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Products which you are not satisfied with? Or perhaps you have found them discarded? I will NEVER understand people who THROW AWAY THINGS. It is so INEFFICIENT. [13:15] * Jonah takes out the elec-tail, armored skull, and ripperclaw packages, setting them onto whatever surface is convenient. [13:15] <&Hebizuka> *His desk will do.* [13:16] <Jonah> The latter, sir. And I agree completely - wasting things is... distasteful. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough room in my pack to bring the... Hydra skin package, with me. [13:16] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Nevermind that, missus. This isn't your fault. [13:16] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] ANYWAYS. What do you want regarding these implants? [13:17] * Jonah hands him the EDS as well. [13:18] <Jonah> These are all fine works, but I'm looking for bionics that are a bit more... inconspicuous? I was hoping I could trade these in for credit, and then buy some different bionics to... install. [13:18] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Most certainly. SO. I shall buy these back from you. Let me just tally up their monetary worth... [13:19] <Jonah> I also wanted to ask if there were going to be any maintenance issues for the bionics - not to belittle the quality of your work, sir, but even the best guns get worn away with use. [13:20] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Bionic implants DO NOT require any sort of maintenance, drugs, or any such petty and annoying issues. [13:20] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] So do not worry. [13:21] <Jonah> That's some confidence. So if I bought a leg implant, and then my leg bones shattered, the bionic implant would still be fine? [13:21] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] It would depend on which implant you bought. If you choose to augment yourself with a FULL BIONIC LEG AUGMENTATION, then I'm afraid your scenario would be impossible, for that leg would be UNBREAKABLE. [13:22] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Anyways. I may buy back those bionic implants for... Let's say, 4250 P$. [13:22] <Jonah> I was looking for something a little more... uhm - Ninja Speed, they're called? [13:22] <Jonah> Take 'em. 4250 should be enough for two implants. [13:23] <~SU_Tempest> *You have sold your implants for 4250 P$.* [13:25] <Jonah> Thank you for the business - so, yes. I was looking into the Ninja Speed implants, and I was wondering - what would they look like, physically, if I bought them? [13:25] <Jonah> Augments are nice, but in my line of work, pieces of metal sticking out this way and that isn't feasible. [13:26] <~SU_Tempest> *Lance goes into explanation mode. He suddenly starts explaining in a matter-of-factly way without his explosive and grandiloquent voice tones.* [13:27] <Jonah> *Which is a real shame. He's quite the character!* [13:27] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] That is an excellent point and I am glad you raise the question. In fact, none of the bionics are merely "pieces of metal sticking out of the body"; many of the augmentations do use metal, but all of the materials I use are extremely lightweight. [13:28] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Titanium! Firearms-grade aluminium! Advanced electric and electronic wiring using the latest nanotube technology! [13:28] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Sim-skin which feels, touches just like real skin! [13:29] <Jonah> That's a good thing to hear, if your augments are all subdermal or deeper. How about sensitivity? Other people might feel and think it's real skin, but do you manage to recreate the nerve endings and tactile corpuscles for physical sensation? [13:30] <Jonah> Phantom Limb syndrome is rather common with regular prothestics, after all. [13:30] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Phantom Limb syndrome? HAH HAH HAH HAHAHA. NO LONGER, my friend. We have overcome this problem! [13:32] <Jonah> Interesting... how about your Item ID scanner? Is it just a wave of my hand over the object in question, or is there a protruding scanner attached to my arm? [13:32] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Anyhow. I cannot reveal all of my trade secrets, I wouldn't be the only one in business if I explained everything. But if you wish to know, NO, Ninja Speed does NOT affect you aesthetically. BUT WHY WORRY ABOUT A ESTHETICS? Petty price to pay for the INFINITE POSSIBILITIES. [13:32] <Jonah> Furthermore, how /does/ your scanner work? Does it actually analyze the object, or does it cross reference a database? [13:33] <Jonah> Ahh - of course, of course. My apologies for prying. [13:33] <Jonah> However, I must insist on the issue of the scanner. I'll come across many unique and undiscovered things in my line of work - I need to know if the scanner can handle /truly/ unknown objects. [13:33] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] YES, the scanner is implanted in your arm, and you have a reader and screen in your forearm which displays information and data about what you're scanning. But it can be EASILY COVERED with clothing. If you wish, it may even interface with HEV Suits. [13:34] <Jonah> *Like magic - damn.* [13:34] <Jonah> Tantalizing possibilites... though if I do buy it, it seems I'll have to return it to you eventually. [13:34] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] And YES. The ICIS can cover ALL manners of identification. Unknown minerals? CHECK. Unknown medication? CHECK. Mushrooms? CHECK. It may even tell you EVEN MORE. Want to know how damaged or how dirty a firearm is? IT WILL TELL YOU WITH 0.01% PRECISION. [13:37] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Anything else you'd like to know, missus? [13:41] <Jonah> Well, let's tally up the purchases - could I have the Ninja Speed implant, the ICIS implant, and the basic Increased Alertness implant all installed? [13:41] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] SURELY, you mean the NS2E. Certainly. Let's first proceed to checking the total price... [13:43] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] The total comes up to 6250. Using the implants you have sold me previously... I shall require a payment of TWO THOUSAND PARALLARS. (2000 P$) [13:44] <Jonah> Sure, sure, let me just make a call... [13:44] * Jonah sighs, bringing up her cell phone and calling the bank. [13:45] <&Hebizuka> [Phone] *Dialing: 5-PLR-BANK...* [13:45] <&Hebizuka> [Phone] Hello, you have reached the automated online banking services. Please state your full name in order to access your account. [13:45] <Jonah> Jonah. [13:46] <&Hebizuka> [Phone] ... Hello Jonah. Your bank account balance is 1484 P$. Your gun shop credit balance is 1663 P$. What would you like to do? [13:47] <Jonah> Transfer 1663 P$ from my gun shop credit and 337 P$ from my bank account to Lance Chaosclaw. [13:49] <&Hebizuka> [Phone] Transfer complete. Your new balances are: Bank account: 1147 P$. Gun shop: 0 P$. Bionics workshop: 2000 P$. Anything else? [13:49] <~SU_Tempest> *Lance nods, confirming the transfer.* [13:49] <Jonah> That's it. [13:49] * Jonah hangs up, pockets her cell, and stretches her arms wide. [13:49] <&Hebizuka> [Phone] Thank you for using our services. *click* [13:49] <&Hebizuka> [Phone] (Battery) 3/6 [13:50] <Jonah> Augment me. [13:50] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] As a side note, the augmentation surgery is free. [13:50] <Jonah> ...Wow I didn't think of that at ALL. [13:50] <&Hebizuka> *Lance uses the money obtained from previous sales, and your newly acquired credit to confirm the purchase.* [13:50] <Jonah> Thanks for the free surgery, sirs. [13:50] <Jonah> Er, sir. [13:50] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] The surgery is ALWAYS free. [13:50] <Jonah> Duly noted! [13:51] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Now, if you would please undress, leave your gear in a corner, and lie down on the operating table... THE PROCESS TO IMPROVE YOUR BODY WILL COMMENCE. I shall ENHANCE YOU. [13:52] * Jonah follows the good doctor's orders - banking on him giving no shits about her cock. [13:52] <&Hebizuka> *The bionics engineer puts on a mask, his goggles, and a new pair of latex gloves, before reaching for a gigantic syringe.* [13:52] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] First, the anaesthetics... [13:52] <Jonah> *Or at least, please be professional - oh god* [13:52] <Jonah> NNNNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn [13:53] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Please remain still while I put you to sleep. When you'll wake up, you will feel like in a dream. But it will not be a dream. It will be REALITY! [13:53] <&Hebizuka> *You're being injected with enough anaesthetics to put a warhorse to sleep. You suddenly do feel asleep...* [13:53] <Jonah> *This is for Carolyn. This is for Carolyn. This is forzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* [13:55] <&Hebizuka> *You have weird dreams.* [13:58] <&Hebizuka> *Please add to your sheet! The following bionic implants (and their associated permanent effects) have been installed:* [13:59] <&Hebizuka> [Bionics] Head implant - Nervous system and synaptic enhancement - Increased alertness [13:59] <&Hebizuka> [Bionics] Arms implant - Item composition identification scanner - Scans items and informs the user of their composition, nature, and proper use. [13:59] <&Hebizuka> [Bionics] Legs implant - "Ninja Speed" evasiveness and mobility enhancement - If possible, escaping, taking cover, and passing encounters unnoticed always succeed. [13:59] <&Hebizuka> *You slowly wake up again after an unknown amount of time.* [14:02] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Welcome back among us, my friend... When you feel like getting up from your nap, would you please tell me how you're feeling? [14:03] <Jonah> ...Hungry. [14:04] <&Hebizuka> *Then you remember your stomach still feel stuffed.* [14:04] <&Hebizuka> *Suddenly hunger transforms into 'ouch, my stomach is heavy'.* [14:05] <&Hebizuka> *You feel very... aware of your surroundings, like not even the smallest of details can escape your notice. You also feel very fast, like you could outrun an olympic champion.* [14:06] <&Hebizuka> *And there's the scanner, newly installed on your left arm.* [14:06] <Jonah> That's... well, this is interesting. Why is my brain /not/ getting fried by all the sudden detail? [14:06] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Because, my friend, your brain has been enhanced. [14:07] <Jonah> I thought the enhancement was only for increased observation and recation time - I didn't realize it upped processing power, too. [14:07] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] It is simply CAPABLE of taking the new sensations you must be feeling now. You must be feeling ... AWAKE! Like the rest of your life before had been a long wallowing blur! [14:07] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Well my friend, if you want new software, you need the new hardware too, don't you think? THIS is the power of bionics! [14:07] <Jonah> Hmmmm... honestly, Mister Chaosclaw, /this/ sensation is the one that's dreamlike. [14:08] <Jonah> Still, you've done great work. Thank you very much! [14:08] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Like I said. This is not the dream. This is REAL LIFE. [14:08] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Welcome to the new you, in either case. Your stuff is over there, don't forget anything. [14:09] <&Hebizuka> *When you're done, three doors ahead.* [14:09] <&Hebizuka> *Next special room at the 128th* [14:10] * Jonah grabs absolutely everything! [14:11] <Jonah> *Gotta get dressed too, all that good stuff. [14:11] <&Hebizuka> *You've dressed back up, gotten back your load-bearing gear, and your weapons.* [14:11] <&Hebizuka> *All set and ready.* [14:13] * Jonah takes the moment to reload Malika from the Leapord attack - and to check the weight of her backpack, afterwards! [14:13] <&Hebizuka> [Reload] Colt M16A1 "Malika": +8 FMJ. [20+1/20, 21x FMJ] [14:13] <&Hebizuka> *5.56x45mm NATO, FMJ remaining: 113 in backpack.* [14:14] <&Hebizuka> [Weight] (Pack/main inv) 55.69/60 [14:15] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [14:15] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 1830 - Front door: 6977 - Right door: 2362 - Roomstyle: 313 - Enemy strength: 6 /6 [14:16] <Jonah> Thanks - actually, wait. [14:16] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Farewell, my friend! Your new life begins NOW. [14:16] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] ...What is it? [14:16] <Jonah> Let's test out the ICIS scanner now. [14:16] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Ah, I see you wish to test your new implants. Good idea. [14:16] * Jonah takes out all of her gems, as well as the unknown vial she picked up from somewhere or another. And - she'll wave Malika under it as well. [14:17] <&Hebizuka> *The ICIS scans the objects one by one...* [14:17] <&Hebizuka> *Red gem identified:* [Valuable] Red gem - Ruby - Value 200-850 P$ (1d651 +199) - Weight: 0.1 [14:18] <&Hebizuka> *Dark red gem identified:* [Valuable] Dark red gem - Cinnabar - Value 45-140 P$ (1d96 +44) - Weight: 0.1 [14:18] <&Hebizuka> *Dark red gem identified:* [Valuable] Dark red gem - Cinnabar - Value 45-140 P$ (1d96 +44) - Weight: 0.1 [14:18] <&Hebizuka> *Yellow-green gem identified:* [Valuable] Yellow-green gem - Worthless glass - Value 1-4 P$ (1d4) - Weight: 0.1 [14:18] <&Hebizuka> *Yellow gem identified:* [Valuable] Yellow gem - Worthless glass - Value 2-6 P$ (1d5 +1) - Weight: 0.1 [14:19] <&Hebizuka> *Vial identified:* [Meds] Vial - Universal antidote - Cures poisoning - Weight: 0.1 [14:20] <&Hebizuka> *Scanning firearm...* [14:20] <&Hebizuka> *Colt M16A1 "Malika" - Condition: Excellent (99.90%) - Cleanliness: Clean (99.30%). Durability rating: +0. Reliability rating: +0.* [14:21] <Jonah> Okay, and - almost forgot. One last mushroom... [14:21] * Jonah pulls out the red and odorless one. [14:23] <&Hebizuka> *Mushroom identified:* [Mushroom] (Magic) Red, Odorless - Libido, Mushroom of arousal - 1d7+2, Increased libido (1d10 turns) [14:24] <Jonah> Hmmm. [14:24] * Jonah tosses it back into her vest, and gets up from her seat. [14:24] <Jonah> Like I said - good work! I can deal with the unpleasant aesthetics for this. [14:24] * Jonah waves a final goodbye, and heads out the front door. [14:25] <~SU_Tempest> [Lance] Fare thee well, my friend. [14:27] <&Hebizuka> *A washitsu - a traditional Japanese-styled room. You see a shiny object on the futon. There's a small TV set (@whatsonTV) as well.* [14:28] <Jonah> Let's check for tr [14:28] <Jonah> ...Oh, hey. [14:28] <Jonah> This /is/ kinda nice. [14:28] * Jonah goes and picks up the shiny object! [14:28] <Jonah> @whatsonTV [14:28] <MazeBot> [Reality show] I'm a Prisoner... Get Me out of Here (alive)! [14:28] <&Hebizuka> [Valuable] Metal - Platinum wire - Value 100-750 P$ (1d651 +99) - Weight: 0.1 [14:28] <Jonah> Whoa nelly. [14:29] * Jonah pockets the wire, and... [14:29] <Jonah> @cover [14:29] <MazeBot> A block of steel. (Health: 80, LDV modifier: -4. AC Eqv: HEV. Pass-through threshold: 14+ dmg. Pain modifier: x0.25) [14:29] <Jonah> Let's try these new legs! [14:30] * Jonah dives for cover with a whoop. [14:31] <&Hebizuka> *You immediately take cover behind the block of steel, in the space of a mere second.* [14:31] <&Hebizuka> *No-one would have been able to see you in time!* [14:31] <Jonah> ...How. [14:31] <Jonah> How did I not /immediately/ crash into this thing. [14:31] <Jonah> Speed's speed, but /momentum/ and. [14:31] <Jonah> Fuck it. [14:31] <&Hebizuka> *It feels so natural to be fast and nimble! It's like you've always lived with this.* [14:32] <&Hebizuka> *You wonder how you've never lived without augmentations before.* [14:32] <Jonah> Questioning this is gonna be the death of me. [14:32] <&Hebizuka> [Weight] (Pack/main inv) 55.79/60 [14:32] <Jonah> *Ohhhhh no, fuck you augmentation. I know BRAIN WASHING and SUBCONCIOUS SUGGESTION when I see it.* [14:32] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [14:32] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 1627 - Front door: 4612 - Right door: 1909 - Roomstyle: 121 - Enemy strength: 4 /6 [14:32] <Jonah> ...Brainwashing. [14:33] <Jonah> Not. [14:33] <Jonah> Not brain washing. [14:33] * Jonah heads through the front door. [14:34] <&Hebizuka> *A regular, featureless room with only one door ahead. Someone abandoned a gun on the floor...* [14:35] <Jonah> What kind of gun, hmmm? [14:36] <&Hebizuka> [Weapon] Class 3 - Springfield XDM pistol | .40 S&W - Semi-auto | M.Brake, Rail | XDM 16-round mag, +1 | Weight: 3 - [13+1/16, 14x FMJ] - Cond: Bad - Clns: Dirty [14:37] <Jonah> ...Hmmm. Is the brake or rail compatible with any of my guns? [14:37] <Jonah> Let's see... [14:38] <&Hebizuka> *The rail is part of the gun; it's an attachment point.* [14:38] <&Hebizuka> *The brake is a .40 S&W brake, and you do not carry any other .40 S&W firearms - so no.* [14:39] <Jonah> !mrooms1 [14:39] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Unique door: 687 - Roomstyle: 95 - Enemy strength: 5 /6 [14:39] <Jonah> Another time. [14:39] <Jonah> To the door! [14:44] <&Hebizuka> *You walk inside a library. That library appears a bit larger than the usual library in the Mazes, and decidedly has an ancient, established feeling to it. The librarian is present; you can see her at the desk, examining one of a pile of books and grimoires which appear so old and dusty, you'd swear they came out of another world.* [14:45] <Jonah> *Wait, /another/ - hello ticket out of her.* [14:46] * Jonah walks up to the front desk, examining the hodgepodge of books all over the desk. "Afternoon, Miss. Do you mind if I take a look?" [14:46] * Jonah tries to resist rocking on her heels, but the anticipation - it's maddening. [14:47] <~SU_Tempest> [Librarian] Be careful, miss! They're precious, it's my only copies! They're old legends of bygone eras, and have historical value... [14:48] <Jonah> I will - but, when you say bygone eras, how bygone are we talking about? [14:48] <~SU_Tempest> [Librarian] Do you know of a past era which we refer today as "Beta 4"? [14:48] * Jonah picks a book at random, and carefully flips through them - anything on... well, anything would be good. Maybe she can recognize - [14:49] <Jonah> I... do not. Isn't Beta a rather... technical term for history? [14:50] <~SU_Tempest> [Librarian] Kind of, but such as it is. It has another name, the "Second Feudal Society". It started 2600 years ago and lasted for about 3 centuries. And those documents are from way back then! [14:51] <Jonah> Second Fuedal... that sounds a bit more promising. Ah - are you looking for something in particular? [14:51] <~SU_Tempest> [Librarian] It's exceptional. We've had immense luck finding them in such a well preserved state. [14:52] <Jonah> Paper doesn't usually last more than five years, let alone 2600. Is it wise to keep them in a library? [14:52] <Jonah> Mazeworld gets pretty violent. [14:53] <~SU_Tempest> [Librarian] Don't worry about that. My shotgun has helped preserve the sanctity of my library since a few years, now! [14:53] <~SU_Tempest> [Librarian] NOT ONE book shall be defaced. [14:54] <~SU_Tempest> [Librarian] But, I don't recall introducing myself. I'm Prisca de Stilcore, but just call me Prisca. What's your name? [15:00] <Jonah> I'm Jonah, the - er, nevermind. Just. Just Jonah. [15:00] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Pleased to meet you! *Extends a hand.* [15:00] <Jonah> Ahem. So, Miss Prisca - are you looking for anything in particular? Maybe I could help - you do have a lot of books here, after all... [15:00] <Jonah> - Oh, pardon my manners. [15:01] * Jonah tahes her hand and shakes it, with firm, but calm ups and downs! [15:01] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Here, come at the computer, I've got something to show you. [15:02] <&Hebizuka> *You are shown a file. http://pastebin.com/bqWjXBhi * [15:02] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Tell me when you're done reading! [15:05] <Jonah> ...Well, my first question is, what are you gonna do about all these books while you're out and about? [15:05] <Jonah> Hard to go on an adventure when you and your shotgun have a place to protect. [15:06] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] I have a trusted friend who helps me manage the library, or goes out on his own. He's an archaeologist, he brought me those books in the first place for me to study! [15:07] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] But, here, listen. There's a big, big thing going on here, and I like you. I don't know why, I just do. Got a good feeling with you. [15:08] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] The tomb of the king may still exist today, in the modern Mazes! And I want to find it! I want to build a trusted team of adventurers to uncover it... if the legends are true, immense riches await us! How would you like to uncover a huge treasure? [17:15] <Jonah> That sounds perfectly wonderful, Ma'am! Where do I sign? [17:16] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Well, nowhere really. It's just you, me, and my friend Marcus, the archeologist I told you about. I'm so glad you want to be part of this! I promise, you'll get your fair share of the treasure when we find it. [17:16] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Speaking of which, I need to go meet up with him a few rooms away from here. Wanna come with me? [17:21] <Jonah> It'd be my pleasure, milady. Do you have any bags for your books, or will you just leave them here? [17:22] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Nah don't worry, leave 'em here, we won't be long! [17:23] <Jonah> Alright - then lead the wau, miss Prisca! [17:23] <Jonah> *This is going to be a trap or an ambush, calling it.* [17:25] <&Hebizuka> *Follow Prisca through the doors - using !mrooms1 * [17:30] <Jonah> !mrooms1 [17:30] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Unique door: 2192 - Roomstyle: 191 - Enemy strength: 3 /6 [17:31] * Jonah keeps Malika at the ready as she heads through the door. [17:32] <&Hebizuka> *A regular, featureless room. There are clothes on the floor.* [17:33] <Jonah> Oh - sorry, Miss Prisca, just give me a moment. [17:33] * Jonah rushes over to the clothing! [17:33] <&Hebizuka> [Clothing] Footwear - Cowboy boots - AC Hardskin - Blunt-PROOF, Sharp-PROOF, Piercing-resistant - Weight: 9 - [Condition: Ruined] [17:34] <Jonah> ...Dang. [17:34] <Jonah> Oh well. [17:35] <Jonah> So, Miss Prisca - what's this Marcus fellow like? [17:35] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Let's keep going, the way should be safe. [17:35] <Jonah> !mrooms1 [17:35] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Unique door: 6785 - Roomstyle: 98 - Enemy strength: 4 /6 [17:35] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] You'll love him! He's really adventurous. Fearless, too! [17:36] * Jonah heads through the only door, following after Prisca. [17:36] <Jonah> That's a bit of a relief. Are you two, ah, together? [17:36] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Oh, no. We're childhood friends! [17:38] <&Hebizuka> *A damaged radio room. There was a radio there but it was damaged. This seems to surprise Prisca. You notice a bag full of money on the floor.* [17:39] <Jonah> ...Hope your Marcus fellow is okay. Recognize the money, by chance? [17:40] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Nah, it's yours if you'd like. The radio was shot up...AGAIN. Sigh. I need to get it repaired. [17:55] <Jonah> Don't mind if I do. Is this place /your/ radio room, miss? [17:56] * Jonah heads over to pick up that filthy, dilthy lucre. [17:56] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] Not exactly but since it's close, we use it often. That said I think the engies plan to remove the room... [17:56] <~SU_Tempest> [Prisca] They might remove the radio equipment and just make it an empty thing soon.
