"Do you have a way of getting in contact with Theo Arkham, like a phone number?"

>>9862011
You saved my work? I'm so proud!
Here's my drawfaggotry! (Sorry about the quality... scanner wasn't working, so I used my roommate's camera.)

>>9862011
Do we still have the tuning fork?

Here's the other one I made. With Garfield.

>>9862063
Yes, you do. Sorry.

>>9862047
"Do you have any way of getting in contact with Mr. Arkham himself? I'd really like to chat with him."
Okuniewicz shakes his head. "No, I doubt anyone does. He contacts employees as he needs them, from a different number every time, a different location most times."

>>9862063
Dammit. I knew I forgot something.

>>9862088
>>9862059

>>9862157
>Is there any more information we need?

"So what do we do from here?"

>Could we get a list of Subjects. Maybe ask if there's anyone out there sane enough to want to help the rest of the world take the bad ones out. And if Arkham wants in on the asskicking, let Walters be our handler.

>>9862272
>I don't know, that's up to you.

"What's next?" you ask, staring at the Dr. The Michigan shore is slowly coming into view.
"Well," he says, wringing his hands nervously. "I would be most appreciative if you didn't kill me. It's not like I can report you to Arkham, more than half the upper authorities are probably dead back there!"

>>9862319
"Fight fire with fire. Or blood, because--"
Crap. I lost my train of thought. Frickin' puns.
>Firearm

>Bit of a bragging sidenote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U48YQ3R53sA I beat this today. Holy dickballs.

>>9862348
"Maybe you have us confused with some of the other escaped subjects. If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead."

Also,
"What can you tell me about subject 33?"
(this was the guy looking for help about Miami, correct?)
Or really any other subject we don't have much information on. Also, what other subject were part of the Key/Gate project.

You cut the engines and let the boat drift to shore. Okuniewicz steps onto land, his unsure legs buckling and sending him to the ground. You stand over him, looking down as he shields his face, eyes clenched shut.
"We don't HAVE to kill him," Garfield says. "Maybe he could be useful."

>>9862348
"I'm not going to kill you. Sure, you and basically all the scientists working for Arkham are unethical bastards who probably deserve it, but I'm not that vengeful. Besides, someone who has some idea what's going on here has to stay alive. And speaking of what's going on here... I'd like everything you know about the various people currently at large, if you would. I keep running into them and am going to get myself in a lot of trouble if I don't get more information."

>>9862402
>Sweet.
>>9862482
"Also backing and my own agent of choice... and I'll contract myself to the cause. You know, as it's in my best interest."

>>9862439
>>9862482
"Relax. If I was going to kill you they'd be fishing you out of the lake."
You kneel down, perched over the frail man like a bird of prey.
"There's a man in Tampa, Subject 33. He said he was trying to gather information, trying to stop 13. Who is he?"
"I...I believe Subject 33 is a man known as the Archivist, a man gifted with an extraordinary ability to absorb and retain information. Arkham used him to perform various clerical functions, as well as to analyze large amounts of data and interpret corrolations."
"What about other subjects. I need information if I'm going to clean up your mess."
"That isn't the way Arkham is structured, I can't just list off all the Subjects we held in captivity. Each employee is familiar with Subjects pertaining to his own studies, perhaps a few more. Certainly everyone knew about 13, or 33, but in general the left hand didn't know what the right was doing. It kept us from being too much of a liability if one of us were to be compromised. It would also explain how an Arkham employee could have planted that hedron in Kansas, and I would never have known about it."

>>9862556
I was also thinking that siding with Arkham might get some shit done, as freelance is dandy, but not as productive as it could be. Also, corporate backing means access to artifacts even cooler than infinite ammo guns.

>>9862589
"Well, let's hear your relevant subjects and a few more then, hey?"

>>9862595
Siding with Arkham is how we ended up with Garfield... and while he's more useful than an infinite ammo gun, the process also produced 13. I don't want to give them that much power over us.

>>9862589
>The Archivist
>Holy shit, I'm a subject

>>9862556
>>9862595
No no no no. Not back to Arkham. Never. Didn't you hear our history? We were already working for them, and they decided to make us into a guinea pig! Loyalty with Arkham only flows one way, upwards. Everyone who works for them is a disposable tool, and as soon as they don't need us they'll turn on us. With full information on what we can do, probably. Stay free, team. Stay free.

>>9862657
So we freelance. Mercenary-like.

>>9862589
"Could it also be why someone knew about the meeting at Blind Falls? The Kraken couldn't have been a coincidence."
>Speculation: Could 18 have created the thing that attacked the island? Was he really after us?

>>9862657
That's why we contract. If we don't like how things are going, we end the agreement. But we need what they have. And we have some goals in common.

>>9862619
"Well, then, let's hear your relevant subjects."
"I was mostly involved with the Key/Gate project. I knew of you, of course, and 13. There were three other candidates for the program, but they are all...currently deceased. Prior to the Key & Gate fiasco I was involved with the attempted vivisection of Devon Brody, a WWI soldier whose physical state cannot be altered, apparently in any way. We recently recovered him from a mental hospital in New York. I also designed the electro-magnetic plates used to contain a man with the startling ability to project wildly differing areas of positive and negative charge, creating lightning from his own fingertips. Subject, 50, 40-something. I designed a similar field that was used to maintain spatial statis in the cell of Subject 23, a man who can alter the atomic structure of things he touches, sort of an off-the-cuff alchemist."

>>9862761
Not liking the "currently deceased" in that sentence.
"Would these people be willing to help me make thing better, if not you?"

>>9862761
>I thought 23 was the Razor of Heaven?
Keeping me busy, aren't you?

>>9862815
>>9862724
>>9862672
>>9862657
"Long story short, I;m fixing to clean up the mess you apparently can't. I'd appreciate your help, but I think you'll understand if I don't want to put on an Arkham uniform. Well," you feel at your employee shirt. "You know what I mean."
"Yes, yes, I understand." Okuniewicz says, looking slightly less afraid for his life. "Well, most of our best agents and minds were just wiped out by...GOD knows what, certainly not a subject of ours. I can get you equipment, at a location of your choosing. I can...I can get you intel! From whatever fragmentary information network is going to be operating once the dust clears here."

>>9862891
>FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Should be 24.

>>9862906
Where are you holding Devon Brody. I'd like to go see him.

>superteam superteam superteam

>Subject, 50, 40-something
Not sure what this is. Wasn't Subject 50 our Godzilla?

>>9862906
"I hope you can, because you folks are useless in cleaning up this mess. Oh. Also. Can you get me an appointment to see Mr. Arkham?"

>>9862761
"Where is he now? The WWI veteran I mean. I may need his expertise."

>>9862906
Sigh. "How generous. Arkham has things I need more than paranormal trinkets- things like respect from the populace and authority others recognize. I need an identity card that says I'm working for you, preferably an entry into a database somewhere that says the same, and your contact number to give anyone who challenges me on that."

>>9862906
"Could 18 have been responsible for that thing? Or could it simply be something you haven't collected yet?"

>>9862955
It means he doesn't remember the exact number.
It's 47.

Trying to post, but it keeps saying "Part of your post isn't allowed to be posted"

Wtf is this?

>>9863081
Archivist, you are good.

"I'd like to meet this Brody. No one's going to solve this mess alone."
"I'm not sure you realize what you're getting yourself into. But times are desperate, and perhaps desperate measures are called for..."
"Brody's been transported back to the Chicago facility. If you really wish, I can put a file for you into our system as an advisory position, forwarded to all applicable government databases. It should clear up any...legal troubles you have."

>>9863175
"Perfect. I think we're done here."

>>9863175
>There was a paragraph before this about 82 wanting the authority to act against subjects/entities, but apparently 4chan hates my writing so much it wouldn't let me post it. WAT

>>9863175
"Sounds good. Let me know about anyone else willing to help out." Get to our car.
>Off to the Chicago facility to collect Brody.
>Acquire gear.
>Off to Tampa, maybe stopping in Atlanta to see how Walters' doing.

>>9863206
>Probably you need to remove a few sensitive keywords

>>9863175
Wait. Mr. Arkham. I need to meet with him.

>>9863175
A file for me... good. I'll need whatever physical identification your people use as well, and... oh, do you remember my name?"

I'm all but certain not, but I'd like to see him say it.

BLOODQUEST!!! FUCK YES!!! iv been reading this since part 2, keep up tyhe amazing work StonerDM. i wish i could stay T_T hope its still here when i get back

>>9863297
>>9863249
>>9863205
>He already said he can't arrange a meeting with Arkham
"Have Chicago let me know anything else you're willing to do you help. You should probably get yourself a ride as well."
You step into your car, revving the engine and leaving the Doctor on the shore of the lake, still on his hands and knees, no doubt taking a moment to appreciate that he is still alive.

The passage of several hours finds you pulling into the Chicago Arkham Research facility. They've replaced the doors, though a large section of the front wall is in the process of reconstruction, having been removed by 151.
You are greeted at the gates by a pair of young-looking men wearing Arkham uniform.
"Ma'am, please identify yourself," one says; both have hands on their weapons.

>>9863249
Agreed.

>>9863297
I don't think it's gonna happen just yet. From all accounts, Arkham is an eccentric recluse. And now he's gonna be busier than hell. Besides, what are we going to learn that we haven't from Dr. O?

>>9863396
"I work with Okuniewicz, I was told you'd be expecting me."

>>9863396
"Hellen Tanner. Dr. Oak-in-EV-ich should have cleared me by now."

>>9863396
Agent Parigold, I'm working with Dr. Okuniewicz

>>9863396
Bloody hell! We just left him and drove to Chicago without getting any means of contacting him, any physical identification, or any assurance that he won't have to walk dozens of miles to the nearest Arkham facility... and then blithely assumed that it would take him mere hours to arrange our new identity, which we didn't even check the specifics of with him?

What the fuck?

>>9863462
>>9863430
"Helen Tanner. Subject 82. Okuniewicz should have told you about me."
There is a bustle of whispering between the two, then one of them goes to open the gate.
"You were at Blind Falls?" The other asks you. "What...what the hell happened out there?"

>>9863522
Yeah, I would have assumed we'd take him with us, but apparently, we're an asshole.
*shrug* Whatchagonnado?

>>9863541
"Mostly tentacles"

>>9863541
"Something not on the records I have acess to decided to turn the place into its own private tenticle party. About half of us made it out by helo, but I think most of the boats bought it."

>>9863541
bloody disaster. half the top brass got torn apart by some tentacled creature. apparently not satisfied with killing people it also went to town on Blind Falls itself.

Tentacles, lots of big, angry tentacles. Some made it out by chopper, but My boat was the only one to escape

>>9863541
"Two words: Giant Kraken."

>>9863541
A promotion party. You're probably a lieutenant by now.

helen out of armor?

>>9863654
Heh, I like this one. Promotions for everyone not there is what happened.

>>9863654
ok going to back that one up, its a brillant quip at how many top brass bought it.

Also fitting

>>9863596
>>9863580
>>9863565
"Something big, something not on the records, killed most of the agents, most of the brass, and tore the island apart. If you want an idea of how bad it was, you're letting me into your facility right now."
The man can only nod in agreement as you walk into the front doors.
Inside is total chaos. If things were in a rush the last time you were here, they're in a downright uproar now. People are screaming into phones, paperwork is strewn across the floor, and carts of documents are clustered in the hallways. An agent is waiting to guide you, thank god.
"Dr. Okuniewicz phoned in about Blind Falls, and about your...agreement. I hate to say it, but this sort of thing may be exactly the shot in the dark that could pull this through for us. Bart Fieldson," he says, extending his hand.

>>9863723
Little too overly crazy/sexual for Helen. But theme is totally on the ball.

>>9863654
Brought to you by the same smart ass who came up with the "Dorothy from Kansas" line.

>>9863738
"He... told you about me? I thought that he was going to keep things under wraps. Idiot..."

Shake his hand. "So, you going to help me or something?"

>>9863654
>Oh man, I'm sorry I was too fast to include this one.

StonerDM, this quest is awesome. Keep it coming!

>>9863738
Don't shake it, explaining that you might get hungry. Ask to see Brody, and send him off to collect the necessary equipment for long-range field work.

>>9863836
And cash. A lot of cash.
Or plastic, credit card time?

>>9863816
Eh, if anyone else asks...
Also, if we have to wait at any point --
Optional Exercises:
A) Move blood from one hand to the other, slowly separating until there's a gap in the blood. Keep going until we're actually launching blood from point A to point B. See how long it takes to naturalize after contact is lost and try to extend that time.
B) Overstimulate blood cells for healing purposes.

>>9863738
shake his hand, politeness is a cheap ammo after all.
"Alright then Bart, since the egg head blew my cover, what do you know about my abilitys, what authority do you have, and what support, if any can I be looking forward too."
pause for a second. "Oh and say hay to Garfield. since were doing introductions."

>>9863738
where is Walters, i thought he was going to be our handler. we need to pull him out of the suicide mission he is being sent on. its the least we can do. we are no longer KoS thanks to him letting us know about blind falls.

>>9863786
less people that know about us the better, but the doctor had to tell someone. better than wandering around by ourselves.

>>9863895
We can grab him in Atlanta on our way to Tampa.

>>9863889
also, we need to slip in the "I need a weapon" line at some point, especially if theres an armoy at this base. come to think of it, this is a chance to mine for information on how Arkham is doing, whats left of it, what help if any the government is giving them ect.

>>9863923
are we keeping the fact we have the noclip berreta a secret? seems like a smart move. moar gunz

>>9863959
Very much yes.

damn, i gtg. carry on the great job stonerDM

"I didn't think that idiot was going to blow my cover," you say, shaking his hand. He smiles sheepishly.
"Ma'am, with all due respect, you're the least of our concerns at this point. We;re still getting a cascade of damage reports from Blind Falls, and we're having to bring national guardsmen up to speed on operating procedures to try and fill the personnel gap."
"Bring me to Brody," you say, "and then get me some equipment. Whatever you've got for some long-distance field-work. Time to make some progress around here."
He leads you through the veritable circus that is Arkham HQ, narrating the internal disaster as you walk.
"We're like chickens with our heads cut off right now. We've got personnel deployed in Atlanta that are supposed to be pulled out, and they're no longer getting supplied. It'll probably be 24 hours before we can get our ducks in a line, and until then we're flying blind here, anything could happen."
He stops at the door to an interrogation cell; you can see the green-brown of army fatigues standing out against the sterile steel-grays of the chamber.
"I'll uh, let you in here and put together a package. You want it delivered to your vehicle?"
"Yeah," you say, pointing at him. "And get me a weapon."

>>9863878
B) Don't. It will shorten our lifespan.

>>9864105
Enter. Stay on guard.
"Hello. My name's Hellen. I'm new here. Who might you be, soldier?"

>>9864105
"You want me to go inside there? Are you serious? I've spent quite a lot of time inside a padded cell. I'll be damned if I'll walk into another one. I said I'd help you folks. Not that I'd trust you."

>>9864105
"Devon Brody, I presume."
Offer hand for a hand shake.

>>9864187
>>9864226
You enter the room, leaving the door open and standing in the doorway. The man stands; he looks like he's been through hell, bleary-eyed and smeared with ash; you can relate. He salutes.
"PFC Devon Brody, ma'am. Might I ask where I am, and why I'm here?"

>>9864255
Return the salute. "You've been recruited for a top secret mission, soldier. There are beasts on the loose - scary monstrous beasts that our killing this country. And its up to us to stop them. This is a different sort of fight than when you were in the trenches - a different time. Will you fight beside me?"

>>9864226
>"I'm not sure you realize what you're getting yourself into. But times are desperate, and perhaps desperate measures are called for..."
I'm not sure a handshake would be a good idea until we know exactly what's up with Brody.

>>9864255
The world's going to hell, and you're here to help stop it.

>Side note, Stonerbro, I'm smoking my first joint in 15 minutes. I expect to suddendly understand everything you write. Also, how many bowls so far tonight?

>>9864282
It's a little Captain America, but what the hell.

>>9864255
"Chicago. You're here because the whole world is going to hell. You can drop the salute, We’re not military. We clearly have a common interest though, keeping our country from going to hell in a hand basket."
"By the way, call us 82, or Helen, whichever you prefer."

>>9864312
>Holy SHIT I knew I forgot something

>>9864255
In a facility outside of Chicago. Your here in part because you in-part (forgive the melodrama of the phrase) might be humanity's only hope.

>>9864341
>You're writing so well without it man!

>>9864319
That's hilarious.

>>9864341
WTF STONERBRO??Q!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

>>9864341
...What is your name, soldier?
You have a duty to uphold.

>>9864255
Why do I get the feeling that he's been told where he is and why he's there many, many times before?
...this guy can't make new memories, can he?

>>9864341
I hope StonerDM is just left in the field, or else I'd wonder how you've been typing it without having it come to mind.

>>9864371

>>9864255

>>9864409

>>9864409

>>9864442
Oh. The soldier thing threw me off.
But yeah. Seriously, StonerDM.

>>9864324
>>9864312
>>9864282
You return the salute. "We're in Chicago, Brody. You're here because the world's going to hell, and you're going to help me stop it."
"Chicago? This doesn't look like any Chicago I've ever seen, ma'am."
"It's...a long story Brody. Suffice it to say, treat me like your superior officer, and we'll get along fine."
"I hope you're fond of that speech," comes a voice behind you. Fieldson's back. Brody salutes him.
"I told you to stop that, Devon." Bart rolls his eyes. "Spatially static, they're not kidding. Wounds close up in seconds, limbs reform just as fast, but memories disappear too. Are you sure you know what you're doing with this guy?"

>>9864493
"Throw him in the right direction, I hope"

he served once, hes willing to serve again, so unless you have a regenerator in your pocket you failed to mention before now, yes I want him with me."
"Come to think of it, Physical ID for me, Brody, and Garfield would be a brillant idea. Now the people out of supply, what can we do about helping them out? Once we have that taken care of, get The Archiveist back to help get some signal from this noise."
See if we can get ourselves some situaltional command authority, then check into getting air transport/extraction and maby one of those lovely drones the army has so much fun with for recon.
"Any news about 18? I suspect my little call out on TV has gotten to him by now..."

>>9864493
how fast does he lose his memory?

>>9864493
"But the most important question is..." *Stare straight at Brody* *raise hand* "...Are you afraid of me." *extrude tentacle*

>>9864603
I feel like garfield getting his own ID is more joke and "don't fuck with me I'm crazy" than it is actually necessary.
Nonetheless, I approve.

>>9864647
well the way I see it, we treat him as human, he will act like one. We treat him as a eldritch abomination he will act like one. He's been our bro this entire time, doing everything he can, and showing some *pic related* in the worst circumstances.

>>9864616
"How long does it take him to lose memories?"
"It varies, never more than half an hour. He'll probably get confused on the car ride out at some point. Luckily he's just the best damn soldier, period, when it comes to obeying authority figures. We were always unwilling to use him because of the obvious dangers of him regressing in combat; i mean, he gets shot, and heals up, bam, blank slate on the spot, he's got no idea what's going on. But you seem intent on putting together some kind of crazy superteam. He'll make a good diversion, at the very least."
"Any word from Chicago? What's 18 doing?"
"There are still occasional police reports of strange creatures attacking buildings and citizenry. A handful of banks have been robbed, mostly gold and jewels. Little prick's probably holed up somewhere counting his cash. I didn't even know he existed until he was in Chicago; we should have put a bullet in him while we still had him."

>>9864686
"Do we even have anything Brody is proficent in using? Can he learn new skills? If not, I am sure you have what he does remember catalogued pretty well. Superteam? Not really, Just a bunch of people with a very particular set of skills, skills that ought to make us a nightmare for people like 18."

>>9864758
Sounds "super" to me.

>>9864686
"...give me some high ranking insignia ASAP. I don't care if I need to attach it to my hat. I want it to scream "In command!"."

>>9864686
"Grab me some index cards, will you? And a pen?"

superteam?

I perfer "PMC"

Oh, can people shoot through our blood armor? I figured that it would be so hot that it could melt bullets or something. Could we get an idea of what could pierce it? Besides a sword made out of titanium.

>>9864782
ARKHAM ISSUED FEDORA, STAT!

>>9864782
>>9864792
good ideas, its time we (the players) got tactical about this.

Salvaging the manpower in Atlanta is what I think we ought to do first, its time limited, shows we really intend to help, and gets us some people that owe us. Then I think we need to get 33 in here to clean up their C&C paperwork communications mess. Damn, if only Maksim (54) was still around he could sort that out... well work with what we have. Once we have Arkham working a little better, or rather Atlanta Base, then we prioritize.

Any other thoughts?

>>9864891
If we clean up Chicago first, the people here can relax and free up more guarding manpower. Then we can hit Cleveland or Kentucky - Atlanta has like four or five mutants running around at once. A LOT of strength there.

>>9864891
Yeah, maybe grab 33 and have him do some super-genius number crunchin' to guess where 18's gonna cause trouble at next.

>>9864686
We'll need headset communicators. Rig up Brody's so that he can't take it off. That way we can talk to him in the middle of combat and remind him what the hell he should be doing.

>>9864949
That's a GREAT IDEA. Lets keep spares on us just in case he gets headshot and loses it.

"What sort of equipment have you got for me?" you ask Fieldson.
"Well, this is for you," he says, handing you two laminated badges. "That's one for you and one for him."
"Do I get one?" Garfield asks.
"Does Garfield get one?" you repeat.
"Does-? What? Oh. Um...no, no, I think yours will suffice for...um...Garfield."

"At any rate, you have a SPAS-12 and an M4-A1, with grenade launcher; we've put them in your car. We've also given you several of the artifacts in the vaults deemed combat-useful and non-fatal to the user." he hands you a short list.
"Great. Get me some index cards and a pen, would you?"
"Um, right away," he walks off, ducking into various rooms.

-"Local Map"
-"Water Bottle" (NOTE: NOT TESTED ON HUMANS)

>>9864986
Explain all of those please. Does the local map always adjust to show where we are in relation to our surroundings?

>>9864986
>"Cowboy Hat of Transparency"
What, in particular, does 'of transparency' mean?

>>9864932
not planning on trying to liberate the city, just extract the agents stuck there. Still, point taken.
>>9864949
brillant idea, but when we armor up, ours is going to fry. Still, coordination matters.
>>9864837
thats a good idea, but as much as trying to stay "Consultant" appeals, were going to be so reliant on Arkham assets we might as well avoid the hostility it could bring.

"Notecards, pen, hat, Fedora if you have one, highist rank insigna we can pin to the hat, tactical headsets. Got any of those?"

>>9865024
"Great, mind decoding some of this? The cowboy hat especially. and what do they mean "Not tested on humans" on a waterbottle?"

>>9864986
have brody use the water bottle

>>9865045
>>9865024
Fieldson returns with a stack of index cards and a pen.
"What the hell does all this stuff do?" You say, pointing to the list.
"Well, the hat makes the wearer...um, transparent. The Local Map adjusts to show the topography of your surroundings. There's a bottle with 3 pills, that's the panacea. Pop one of those and you'll heal any wound, any disease, at least as far as we can tell. If you don't use those, please bring them back; I think you can understand why we'd like to have them. The water bottle will produce as much water as you like, just pour it out, but it doesn't come out especially fast, and we've never had a human drink the water, or study it's effects."
"What about the rifle?" you ask.
"That's for him," he gestures to brody. "It's one of the only firearms he retains the training to use."

"Get us some headsets for communication," you say. "Make his bulky, hard to remove. Tie it to him if you can."

>>9865053
I feel like, at this point, we/garfield can control which part of the blood heats up, and he could leave a tiny hole for the headset to work.

Also, to list the mutants in Atlanta, if I remember them: 88 (bone guy?), the time guy, radiation guy, and someone else? (maybe the giant mantis?)

>Really, really high right now, not gonna lie.

"Cool Shit"

>>9865110
"Brody. Can you write a note to yourself on this card? Just a reminder for you to listen to the lady in the snazzy hat, okay?"

>>9865124
>The question is, can you write/participate? You're a BAD INFLUENCE DM!

>>9865110
"Brody... do you fear me? *show him a blood whip*"

>>9865110
once he gets back, we should thank him. The world is going to hell in a handcart, and unlike so many people, he is actually dealing with it rationally. Then I think we need to decide on where to roll out too... so we can nab some details.

Gotta love the OP, he runs quests while higher then the space shuttle and isent afraid of anything.

>>9865168
"Brody, does this frighten you?" you ask, extruding a whip of blood.
"What in the holy hell?!" the private responds, backing up and tripping over his chair. He stumbles as he falls, slamming his head into the cell wall. He sits up after several seconds.
"M-ma'am? Who are you? What is this place?" he realizes he's flat on his ass, and scrambles to his feet, snapping out a salute. "PFC Devon Brody ma'am."

>>9865217
I can see were gonna have FUN with this one!!!!!!!!!!!! >:3

>>9865234
unlimited food for garfield too

>>9865217
God fucking dammit, nice going Supernova.

>>9865217
*wave the whip at him again to see if he reacts in the same way*
"I'm in command. You are to follow me into battle. Understood?"

>Did his memory just reset right there?

>>9865102
>>9865102
>>9865102
>>9865102

>>9865217
Say "Hold on"
Write a note, post-it size, put it a wire in front of his face.
Say something like "Follow the red haired lady in uniform"
>I can, barely

>>9865278
I need to see how he's going to react if he looses his memory and we show up in full blood armor and with whips. I want to know if he will start shooting at us or what.

>>9865248
we sure we want to mix them and risk Garfield?

I vote we write out something to explain it to him. Have no idea What to write since I dobut "I do freaky things, stay frosty." will work.

>>9865285
>Did his memory just reset right there?
I thought I was the one that was high.
You wriggle the strand of blood at him.
"Don't be alarmed soldier. I'm in command here. Just follow my order, alright?"
Brody looks uneasily at the blood, but slowly snaps off another salute.
"Er...yes...yes ma'am."
>>9865294
>Bottle is in your vehicle; request has been noted

>>9865310
"You are in the future. You cannot retain memories. You are helping the red-haired woman save the world."

>>9865334
so its fatal trauma that causes a reset, and/or a span of time around an hour? (trying to be clear on this)

>>9865360
>Any sort of injury that causes real physical damage, and/or about an hour

>>9865355
Maby we ought to wash the dye out and have that read "black haired woman with the blood" but thats actually a pretty smart idea. suggest that to him, then have him write it in a way he would understand, have him sign it to (and LAMINATE THAT CARD!)

>>9865373
Mmk. I wonder if we can time a recording to buzz in his ear once an hour just-in-case.

>>9865393
Hell, have him write the whole thing.

>>9865393
This.

>>9865396
if we can have him say the message

You hand Brody an index card and a pen. "Write this down," you say.

"you are in the future. you are helping the [red/black? what're you guys doing?] haired woman save the world. Protect her and follow her orders.
-Devon Brody"

"Laminate this and put it on a chain around his neck," you say, handing the card to Fieldson.
"Hey, not bad..." he says, nodding in approval as he walks away.

>>9865433
hell, photo ID with the message on the back would be ideal, but we dont have time for that now I bet. Have Fieldson get that in the works. That way its specific and we dont end up with him following someone else at random.

>>9865490
photo ID would probably make it a bit better.

StonerDM, can you post spider lebron one more time? i forgot to save it last thread.

>>9865490
>Let's say there's mention in there that you may be covered in blood, so that doesn't mess things up for you

>>9865560
...yes...

>>9865560
>>9865490
Red haired. We'll be wearing a hat.

alright, try again to get information about any and all subjects we may be able to get on our side for our north american conquest

>>9865560
right. Now where do we go from here? Lets check with Fieldson to see if he has anything he/Arkham considers priority, then make up our minds and roll out.

>>9865560
derp
forgot to mention that. maybe another card on a necklace with our picture with CO rank. we can add another one with out picture in blood armor later. Arkam does NOT get to have a picture of us in full armor to study, not yet any way. dont need to give them any extra time to figure out a way to beat Helen's armor

>>9865664
2nd

>>9865664
3rd

>>9865658
"Any idea about other subjects that might be more interested in restoring order than tearing shit down?"
"Not the faintest clue," Fieldson responds. "And you are not an Arkham employee, nor will you be in our custody when all this is over, as per your agreement with Okuniewicz, so we will not be releasing a comprehensive list of subjects to you. You will be briefed on a need-to-know basis, according to our intel or to corroborate your own observations."

>>9865664
>>9865717
>>9865703
+1

>>9865730
Thanks for making my job a little bit easier.

>>9865741
that should be out of character but also sarcastically in character

>>9865730

"Are you stonewalling me, or do you actually have no fucking clue because this entire situation is a gigantic clusterfuck?"

Ask about 96 and the numbering system. We have a right to know how we were ranked

>>9865730
"Allright then. What's the first thing Arkham feels needs doing? I have some ideas of my own, but you have better information acess."

Also, possible picture of Helen.

>>9865730
how do we even contact you and what requirements have to be met for you to "see fit' to release intel. you dont even know what the hell is going on! do we get magically contacted in a cut scene from metal gear? *helen is not pleased*

>>9865784
i like this one
>>9862088
this armor is win

>>9865751
"Are you stonewalling me, or do you actually have no fucking clue because this entire situation is a gigantic clusterfuck?"
"...yes" he responds after a moment.
>>9865664
"Whatever," you say dismissively.
"Are there any areas Arkham considers top priority? Anywhere I might do the most good?"
"Well, Chicago's dealing with 18, but it also has some of the strongest Arkham presence. Atlanta is a giGANTIC mess, so we could certainly use the help there. Louisville has been in a blackout for weeks now, god knows what 96 has done to the place, and Cleveland has been pretty much usurped, it's totally out of our control."
"Then again, getting 33 in Tampa could go a long way towards getting us running smoothly, and we'll have to deal with California and Germany eventually."

>>9865784
OMFG FUCK YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>9865825
few things: 1. Lets nab 33, we need Arkham back in operating condition.
2. I belive we might be in autosage.
3. I found that picture (sans text) in another thread.
4. I am adding this to archives if it is not already.

>>9865784
is this...OC? or did you slap the label on another pic?

>>9865762
"How are the subjects ranked anyway? 18 was saying it's by power level."
"I don't know the specifics, but there's definitely a power correlation. Subjects tend to get higher numbers the less we know about them, or the less threatening they appear to be. As far as I can tell, it's a combination of sheer power, potential for society-destabilization, and malevolence."

First up with 33. He's got info we want, and may go behind these bastard's backs and give it to us

>>9865825
begin search for 33

information is our biggest potential strength

>>9865784
Honestly, this pic makes me want to retcon Subject 82 into having redhair as a natural hair color.

>>9865891
He slapped the label on it. Its from a char image thread that's goin' on now.

>>9865825
this anons plan
head south hit Louisville
go to Atlanta and assist the personel there.
after that go to Tampa pick up 33 head back to the windy city.

we should try to get walters on the way to get 33. it would be nice to have someone who knows what year it is and can retain memory.

>>9865891
"Heh, wonder what Garfield and I would be numbered now."
Shake head at how silly that sounds.
"Well then, subject 33 'The Archiveist' sounds like the best option. Who do you have there at the moment, and what do we need to know about him?"

>>9865926
heh, would be ironic to have dyed our hair black due to retcon. I saw the image, and immediately went "Helen!"

>>9865951
>>9865878
>>9865784
Pic is almost a perfect match for 82, so I wasn't sure.

>Guys, I'm sorry, and by all means keep hashing out your next move, but I'm going to have to wrap up early tonight :( I'll try to quest more tomorrow, starting at the usual time.

>>9865985
brillant idea, and a point to bring up with Fieldson. Mention him as "An agent who kept his cool when things went Miami with 18. A good watchdog for the PFC (and us naturally) who I trust not to accidently shoot me in the back."

>>9866078
Awwwwwwwwwwww

>>9866078
its cool, and the usual time is.. what PST?

>>9866099
>went Miami
I like.

>>9866130
like between 9-10 EST is when I tend to get things going. So that's like...6-7 PST?

>>9866099
and Coolbro broglassesbro, just cause. we ignore what ever he says his real name is. only refer to him by this.

>>9866154
yes i think so

>>9866141
seemed like it would enter parlance eventually, wanted to coin it.

>>9866154
right, I can convert that out. Get your rest StonerDM, your epic win. (still wonder about the suggested retcon, or if we should just get more dye...)

We need Arkham in working order to provide support, and once we prove usefull, we will be to valuable to abuse this time. We can give "The Old Man" what may or may not be coming to him later, once theres a human race to keep disappointing us left.

>>9866217
>I'm all for a retcon; i mean, its your god damn hair color. We can afford to be fluid about stuff like this

>>9866078
Take care man, you've been going almost nightly for the last 10 days or so - don't burn yourself out.

>>9866246
pictures research notes reading "82 hair color changed to red, eye color red due to blood pooling in eyes."
+1 for recon hair color that way. we dyed it black rather then red.

>>9866292
It IS canon that Garfield sees out your eyes by filling the blood vessels there.

Thanks guys. You're all awesome.
Have a Spider-Lebron

All I know is that this helped me not want to stab my skull while doing meaningless statistics homework tonight.

Sleep well, good sir.

we better load up with some meat for Garfield before we head out, and take a shower (remove the black hair dye) before we head out from the base, whatever we do.

>>9866376
You could just eat your new friend Brody over and over again.
That's not a douche move or anything.

>>9866548
Well, he wouldn't really remember. But then we'd have to brief him again.

>>9866548
and risk interacting with another reality breaking thing? not to mention what garfield would think of the plan!

Addendum: Arkam File picture for use with the info block.

>>9866548
Can we use our blood to infect others?

Try it on him.

>>9866638
He's probably the absolutely worst test subject for that sort of thing, given his abilities. Also, it was mentioned that your blood appears to be normal human blood when separated from you.

I don't know EXACTLY where this quest is going, but I have a pretty good idea, and wherever it ends up, I want this to fit as like boss-fight music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DcAjsZU3ik
Lyrics are in the video, this song is ridiculously epic. Unless you hate metal, in which case I guess this song sucks.

...I promise I'm leaving now >_>

Just to maintain the tradition.............

>>9866747
I am now immediately wanting to ask Garfield if it has a taste in music...

>>9866773
Kind of glad we didn't see it in the actual thread.
Also, glad I've contributed a tradition to this quest.

i like this one
