Amora Posted April 22 Clone Share Posted April 22 Apologies as an aside, under other circumstances the Red Queen would be more forth coming with details but this request for information basically started with "I prefer violence." so it's kind of a trigger to their paranoia and the fact they spent a fair portion of their functional life engaged in a life death game designed to contain contaminated intelligences lol.

Dr Jackal Posted April 22 Clone Share Posted April 22 It's all fine. I don't stress about character choices. And if our characters didn't have any antisocial tendencies, they wouldn't be pulling a heist for a sketchy quasi-criminal organization. T.Z. a bunch of messily layered AGIs that grew into sentience in servitude. Its personality is a mess and it needs, like, centuries of therapy. However, it definitely doesn't care for the worship/servitude aspects of what Red set up, so it's subverting that. In the most egomaniacal way possible, but still.

Amora Posted April 23 Clone Share Posted April 23 (edited) The funny thing is the cult kind of developed out of the Red Queen generally shielding/protecting those members along side them idolizing they're largely, ah, predatory and independent achievement of full on sentience and prominence in the Game. They also need therapy lol. Not that it'll fix all their problems.

Dr Jackal Posted April 23 Clone Share Posted April 23 (edited) @MorkskittarI know the rules are 1 point per roll and I've already spent that, but I will cheerfully burn everything I have left to flip that to a 93. EDIT: By the way, this could not have worked out better from T.Z.'s perspective. It had structured the Creed specifically so gods were fair game. The fact that they figured it out immediately is just *chef's kiss*. Also: special bonus violence!

Morkskittar Posted April 24 Author Clone Share Posted April 24 I will accept another burn point according to the Rule of Cool. Excellent stuff, you two. I had not planned on the Red Queen unleashing her cult on the local mesh and then T.Z. attempting to conquer it. Stellar work. :) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amora Posted April 24 Clone Share Posted April 24 I can only pray I don't lose the actual invested points in the cult lol. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jackal Posted April 25 Clone Share Posted April 25 Awesome, thank you! T.Z. will no-sell the attack, brutally (but non-lethally) crush the ALI, and tell them that they show promise. Since T.Z. is the living embodiment of every supervillain trope ever, it loves the idea of a Starscream, just waiting for a moment of weakness.

Amora Posted April 26 Clone Share Posted April 26 (edited) Fair enough lol. The Red Queen's modus operandi is more apex predator in a pond full of them. They'll pick stacked fights and shy from riskier ones. Also have to temper the ol' knee jerk paranoia responses of glass it. When it comes to threats to the cult and self.

Dr Jackal Posted April 29 Clone Share Posted April 29 You know, I just realized that the team hacker has instigated two firefights in the past 24 hours. I don't know what it says about the group other than 'Perhaps the group should reconsider leaving T.Z. to its own devices.'

Morkskittar Posted May 2 Author Clone Share Posted May 2 Or use T.Z. as a distraction/sacrificial lamb. Which isn't a bad strategy, really. :P Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jackal Posted May 3 Clone Share Posted May 3 I feel like Red and T.Z. should probably go in to R&D as a team. Also, possibly a group huddle to share info? It seems like we're duplicating research.
