Unfortunately, the ammunition within is not compatible with your weapons, but there is a built-in Medstation in the locker that heals Yellowman's wounds completely, and enough assorted body armor to repair the ABLATIVE ARMOR PLATING in Scott's Scout Armor.

The corpse is of a middle-aged human in a black suit and tie. A pair of crushed sunglasses lies next to him.

"Looks like someone hacked this guy up with an axe or something. Judging from the depth of the wounds, our axe-man must've had immense strength," Scott murmurs as he looks the body over.

"Axes... How primitive!" Fat remarks.

"Yeah, but still dangerous, remember that. Suit and tie for a death race, huh? Heh. Your stereotypical man in... oh. Ah, hell," Scott says, realizing something. Noticing something, he leans in and searches the suit again. Finally, he fishes out an ID card from an inner secret pocket of the suit jacket.

"Damn it, I had a feeling it was that. Shit," Yellowman curses as he flips the card to Fat-Fot-Pot. The spider-self catches it and looks it over.

"M.I.B.?" he asks, curious.

"One of our racers is probably now running around with a Neuralyzer at the very least, and a Noisy Cricket or some shit if we're really unlucky!" Scott says. He sighs. "Some MIB agents have a secret pocket for emergency identification in their jackets. Bit of trivia I picked up from Captain Caergus last time I was at base. Agent N, huh?

Red teleporter? Well, FPS time.

Rolled 4, 4 = 8

>>24194655
Well, it looks like TF2 time.
I suppose the RED teleporter is likely in the RED base.
The safest way there, assuming this game is playing anything like normal, is to go across the Hayloft, down the hole, then continue going from there to the stairs to the Sewer.
The Sewer, though wet, will take you across to the other base without forcing you to pass across the damaging Base area.

>>24194841
For those new to 2shit:

I've marked the 2 respawn rooms as R, the Intel room as I.
The Hayloft is H and the Stairs (actually a ramp on blu's side) with S.

In the back of the base, with the dark green line, there are 2 routes to the intel.
The Hayloft usually sees tons of combat as it's where ground teams need to push through to reach the intel, and often has sentries there.
The spiral (west of H) leads down to the intel and often isn't as guarded. Scouts like to jump down here in an attempt to make a run for the intel.

The battlements are to the east, and are often where you die and respawn. Tons of fighting there.
Inside the base, in light green, are what I'll call the Tunnels.
You can jump down (or up!) from the hayloft, and from the northern spawn point.
The Tunnels lead you to the lower level of the battlements, and to the sewers.
The section of Tunnels from the northern R, running north-south to the stairs, is often only used by spies.

>>24194950
I'd say we should head down the Spiral ramp to the Intel, and see if we can pick up any Intel on our current situation.

Is there any BLUE paint, or BLUE scraps, or other such BLUE-ery? We might be able to fool a sentry gun if we wear blue, as there's usually a sentry gun guarding the intelligence.

Likewise, keep an eye out for anything RED.

Yellowman looks around, but sees nothing in the immediate area.

"I don't think just painting me blue is going to fool a sentry gun," he comments. "Though I guess it's worked before as a disguise at least once..."

Fot is ready to scout ahead, but Yellowman is waffling between heading down the spiral ramp towards Intel or heading towards the Sewers.

>>24195181
Well we have people wanting 1 of 3 different ways.
Battlements for the direct route
Sewers for the sneaky route
Intel to pick up intel on our situation.

I can't think of any obvious arguments for any of them. Anyone else have any preference?

>>24195181
Intel would probably be the best. Be careful and watch out for SPYs though.

We also will want to keep an ear out for Sentry Guns.

>>24195210
Is the BLU Intel really going to give us information about our present predicament?
Besides, it's what BLU Team is mostly likely heavily guarding, and we have to be careful of stickybombs left by Demo as well.

Fot clears the first room of the ramp section and Yellowman quickly takes cover there. He manages to flatten himself against the wall just in time as the sound of the Respawn Room door opening and booted feet tromping around hits his ears. They're soon gone, however.

Fot scurries back a minute later, and Fat translates his report.

"There's a sentry gun positioned in the hall right when you get off the ramp," Fat says. "Also a large number of spiked balls sticking to the walls about halfway down. There was a man with a grenade launcher near some computers down there. He noticed Fot, but Fot scurried away before he did anything."

Ok. If there's a sentry down there, that means that Engineer is nearby. He likely either just died or is also downstairs.

Demo's also down there, and the walls are set to blow.

I wonder if this will work. Scott, look at your comunication device. Hit the "," button on it.

>>24195673

What I'd really like to know, is if this is the BLU Team that we worked with before, or if it's a different BLU Team.

"You want me to try calling down with an accent? I guess I could try to mimic a Scottish one, maybe an Australian... but I'd have to get past the bombs first, wouldn't I?"

>>24195737
The obvious way to get past the bombs is to use the magnetic grappler to just go past them at magnetic speeds. Less footsteps too, which is probably how Demo is waiting for targets to asplod. Hold the FFP trio so they don't get left behind.

Once that's done, might as well try the Scot accent and talking to the Demo.

>>24195737
One, we've got to figure out if this Demo worked with TF38 before, and if he'll cooperate with us. But first, we need to get past or disable the bombs and the sentry.

...Wait, the sentry turret, it didn't react to Fot? Maybe it won't react to FFP and they'll be able to get past and talk to Demo?

>>24195772
But we still need to get past the sentry gun somehow. How do we do that?

>>24195816
Disguises work on them, and we have a modern disguise don't we?
Either that or we edge it. The center of the sentry is the part that targets, so if you shoot its side then you can take it out without fear of retaliation.

>>24195850
A modern disguise that makes us look like a cop.
Edging it does sound like the best way, using the plasma rifle. I'm just concerned that attacking it will cause Demo to not listen to what we have to say.

Again, Fot was able to get past the bombs and the sentry; could FFP get past them and speak to Demo. Or at least, have him come out enough that Scott can talk to him without getting shot or blown up.

>>24196001
Seems the best option.

>>24196001

I'm a bit out of the loop, but could Yellowman attempt to bluff that he's a Mann Co. employee who got mixed up in all of this?

>>24196033
It should work at least for a while. Mostly I want to try talking my way past the Demoman and somehow stealthing or disguising past the Sentry. If we can get through this non-hostilely that's a great benefit, because then we won't have BLU up our asses.
Also might let us learn a bit more about what on earth is happening in here.

>>24196033
Maybe, maybe not.
A lot depends on if this is the same BLU Team that contracted with Task Force 38.

>>24196001
>>24196009
"Solo operations aren't our strong suit..." Pot whines.

"...but whatever you say, Commander!" Fat says as the three buzz around. "Uh... what exactly do you want us to say?"

>>24196106
Ask Demo if he's worked with Task Force 38.
Don't appear in front of him, say it from around a corner if you can.
If he has, then tell him that Commander Yellowman wants to talk with him.

If he isn't the one that Task Force 38 worked with, get out of there and run.

Well, so much for this avenue of attack.

I'm thinking it's more trouble than it's worth to try for the Intel.
Go down the hole in the hayloft and to the Sewers, taking some time to wait for any waves of respawners before making it to the hole y/n?

"I should be able to use Waldorf," Scott says.

>>24196304
If they are injured, we should see about getting them to the health widget.

>>24196305
We have to balance acquiring bonuses with completing in a hurry.

Also, something to consider; if we get the Intel, RED will likely help escort us to their base.
It's probably not enough to balance out becoming BLU's prime target, but it's a thought.

>>24196404
>>24196443
Escorting the intel typically involves a swarm of bullets, explosives, and fire going off around him or her from both sides. It's just a function of how the game gets played.

Well, here are our options.
#1: Intel
We need to edge the sentry, and either BS or kill the demoman. If there's a sentry then the engy's likely nearby, too.
After that, a respawning base is angry at us for a while. There are some pretty good hiding spots to wait it out though.
If we PICK UP the intel, then the respawning base is angry at us forever.
If we do this, then we get to look at BLU's intel, and also see if either Demo or the Engy have anything interesting to say.

#2: No intel
We'll have to make it to the sewer exit either way, this skips the Demo + Engy encounter but results in less intel.

>>24196516
This Demo is just a generic BLU Demo, and not the Tavish that we worked with previously. Therefore, there's no point to trying to talk when he and Engineer will simply try to kill us.

I'm tempted to get the Intel, but without a good secondary fighter/healer and some better way to get shield repairs, I'd have to say that it's safer to skip the Secrets for this level and just move on.

So let's go to the sewer exit, and give up on the Intel for now.

>>24196610

Seconding Sewer. Although we'll still have to be extra careful not to get caught in a firefight between both the teams.

>>24196610
Hm, secrets could be mighty handy though, particularly if the intel can get us into RED base.
Need to see if we can get a hold of Engineer's wrench, in this world it might be able to repair the comm heatset.

>>24196716
I'd say go for the Intel, we'll get Intel out of it at least.
Plus, maybe Scott can use the Demoman's dropped weapon. That sticky launcher will be DAMN helpful in many situations.

>>24196716
We'd have to fight Demo and Engineer; we'd have to be careful to take them out without wasting time for reinforcements to respawn.

>>24196730
>>24196716
So, looking at option 1 from >>24196516
But replacing seeing if they have anything interesting to say, with seeing if they have anything interesting we can use.

>>24196792
Yes, essentially.
We'll want to stick to Waldorf and the Plasma Rifle.

Okay, I got this idea. We shoot the sentry first, and melt one of its legs so it falls over.
Then we shoot the stickybombs from a distance.
That'll hopefully draw Demo and Engineer out, and we shoot them full of plasma from Waldorf.
We go in quick, take a look at the Intel, and loot the bodies, then run like fuck to the sewer.

True, many engie's will be planted right behind the sentry. Though it could be on of those rare battle engies that sets up then goes off to support the assault with teleporters and dispensers. And Fot didn't report him being there- at that time, though time has now passed.

"All right. We'll get that Intel," Yellowman declares, slamming his fist into his palm. "I know how to take out that sentry, but what about those bombs?"

>>24197279
Hookshot past them. Demo's listening for footsteps to know when to blow them up, hookshot bypasses this.
The stairs have metal railings you can grapple onto.
[Curiously, you can also put your hand right through them because they're not solid collision.]

>>24197101
>>24197275
Intel, and hopefully gear.
Personally hoping the Wrench works for us while we're here.

>>24197279
Can you shoot one from a distance, to cause a chain reaction?
They're halfway down the hallway, so it's not like you don't have the rest of the hallway to stand back in.
Honestly, this isn't a very good Demo, what with putting the stickybombs where people can easily see them.

>>24197317
Hitting the stickies with bullets breaks them, but plasma has no effect, and you can only cause a chain reaction with the Scottish Resistance.
An explosive will scatter them, but any good demo knows that if you hear an explosion in the stairwell, you look that way and get your shit ready.

>>24197279
>>24197306
Bombs can be shot as well, though blowing them up with has Demo running to replant them and looking for the cause, so if the hookshot looks viable, it could be the better move.

>>24197355
>>24197346
>but plasma has no effect
I don't recall this happening in the original TF2; I haven't played in a year and a half.

But Demo is already on the alert for us, since he shot at FFP; is stealth really going to matter?

As soon as he bursts out, have FFP spore stun him, and shoot him with Waldorf if he doesn't go down.
As long as he's sleeping, he won't respawn and that's one less BLU we need to worry about.

>>24198525
>just kill him. While hauling ass at high speed towards the Intel room
We can knock him out and prevent his respawning, which is better.

And remember that getting weapons and equipment from them is what we want.
Though I don't think that we'll be able to repair the Damaged Comm Headset with Engineer's Wrench. We're neither Engineer or Fix-it Ralph.

>>24198576
Point taken, changing my opinion to match yours.
Sleep the Engy, take the Demo and the Engy's weapons. Though I do think we should be using the plasma pistol if the stun spores don't work on the Engy.

Engineer finds it difficult to finish his sentence as a bolt of plasma melts his face off. The machinist falls to the ground, quite dead. After a few seconds, his body begins to dissolve rapidly, leaving only a pistol behind.

Dang. I wonder if the Demoman left anything behind.
At least the TF2 guys drop universal ammo. Maybe we can get Statler ammo.

Likely exit points for safety:
Through the glass is an area BLU rarely goes to.
There's a Resupply room down here behind a roller door that nobody ever goes into.
There's also hiding on top of shit, which works vs. a lot of the TF2ers since they forget to look up.

Yellowman puts the documents back and looks at the briefcase. "...this should've been locked shut but it wasn't. Someone's read this before us."

The red line is on the stairs. If there's a place you'd expect a fight it'd be there, since that's one busy part of the map.
There ain't no clear part of the map. It was either "Spiral and down the hole" or that, and I'm expecting Engy to come down the spiral after spawning.

You might be right, but at least in the short term, he's more useful with us than KO'd.

Sneak to the secondary respawn point; no one uses it, so it should be clear. Have Fot keep an eye out in front of us, Fat and Pot watch behind us, and get there before Engineer respawns. We're low on shields and Waldorf shots.
Then we've got to get down in the Sewers; we'll get shot by Snipers otherwise.

Sewers are where Spies live, so we should be careful for anyone like that.
Thankfully we have 2 sets of eyes looking for anyone invisible.

Let's not waste time with the second respawn, and concentrate on escape.
They could be respawning right now, and we can't take the chance. We need to escape. Go to the Hayloft hole and get to the sewers.
Have Waldorf ready, and be careful of Spies.
FFP keep an eye out, preferably by flying high and at the ceiling, where Spies usually won't look.

Yellowman calls out, and though a voice answers, he can't make out the words. Advancing through the water, Yellowman comes to a small room in which the waterway passes. A young man in a worn and beaten striped suit lays sprawled on the floor, bloodied and beaten. The man's neatly combed hair stands in stark contrast to the rest of his body which looks like someone tried to tenderize like a giant steak. A medkit lays on the other side of the room, the man weakly crawling towards it. Once Yellowman enters, he stops and slumps against the wall.

"Hey, you wanna be a pal and hock that medkit over this way? I wouldn't ask normally, but I don't think I'll be making it out of here otherwise," he says, letting his head rest against the wall and closing his eyes.

>>24200546
Ask Man his name.
Then help man.

>>24200546
What's he look like?
Ask him his name before giving him the medkit.

Could be a hero, or could be a villain.
'young man with striped suit' isn't descriptive enough.

"Sure thing. You got a name?" Yellowman asks, sliding the medkit over. The stranger takes the device with relief, then frowns as he fumbles with it to no effect.

"I just saw one of them blue freaks pick this things up and seal up a huge hole in his gut, how'd he do it..." he mumbles. "Uh, Charlie's the name. What do you go by, mack?"

>>24200603
Scott.

Fat, please heal this man's injuries by 1 wound.

>>24200603
May as well tell him your name, Scott.
Quick scan; Charlie Fiddich, from the American TV series Mad Men.
Shit, this guy has no business being in this race; he's in Publishing with no military or survivalist training.

>>24200632
Can at least heal 1w of him and have him be a walking damage sponge until something better comes along.

A Publisher may have more knowledge of Canons than we ourselves do, which comes in handy. But yeah, he's ... how the hell did he even make it this far.

>>24200650
>Can at least heal 1w
I suppose. We could probably make better use of the medkit than he can, at any rate.
And we should save putting a plasma bolt through his face until he actually tries to kill us.

"Right away, Commander!"

Fat flies over the man and dribbles some of his healing liquid onto his wounds, which begin to rapidly seal shut. The man blinks.

"What's that, some sort of mutant? Never thought I'd be glad to get plant drool all over me," he says. "Feeling better, but can you get this damn gizmo to work? I've used a million and one stimpacks, but this thing baffles the hell outta me."

Calling it here for the night, feel free to think of things to ask. We'll pick this up tomorrow and at least try to finish up the thread.

>>24200694
>I've used a million and one stimpacks, but this thing baffles the hell outta me.
That's weird. He's used stimpacks?
Is he a meta-traveler version of his Canon self?
We'll have to be far more cautious of him now.

We can tell him that the medkits here work optimally for people modified for it, like the RED and BLU Teams.

>>24200694
We should ask him if he's Charlie Fiddich, to make sure he is who we think he is, and ask him where he learned to use stimpacks; that technology isn't native to his Canon.

I suppose we can ask about the competition, as well.

I have found some information on Charlie Fiddich.
He played a small part in episode 5 of the first season of Mad Men, was a publisher, and tried to get one of the supporting characters to commit adultery with him.
He basically never came up after that episode, and his disappearance wouldn't be missed.

http://madmen.wikia.com/wiki/5G

It's set in the 1960's of a baseline Earth; no way he would have access to stimpacks, nor was the previous world a Canon that uses stimpacks either.
Something is wrong here, and I think we should question him about how his marriage to Trudy is going, and when he became a Meta-Traveler.

>>24200650
>A Publisher may have more knowledge of Canons than we ourselves do
Well, he's a publisher from the 60's, and mostly for magazines. I don't know how much use he's going to be; there's 50 years worth of media that he'll have no information on, and only have knowledge of stuff from the East Coast.

Unless we get thrown a curveball by getting something really old, he's more likely to be a liability than an asset.
Finding out how he survived even this far, when an MIB Agent couldn't, should be interesting though.

"Those medkits work best for the mercenaries running around here," Yellowman notes, crossing his arms. Charlie scowls.

"You mean the finks trying to kill me? They can go kiss a lemon, will it do ME any good?" he asks.

"Maybe. Charlie Fiddich?" Yellowman asks. The man blinks in confusion.

"Who's that? They just call me Charlie. Ain't never needed a second name yet," he says. "Now are you gonna help me with this blasted thing or not?"

>>24210637
The fact that he mentioned Stimpacks makes me think this might be Benny from FO:NV under a false name.

>>24203900

Could just be a random person from a Fallout canon. There was a random person in the second Fallout game named Charlie. Maybe he did real good for himself since his last appearance.

>>24210637

Carefully look through the medkit and see if there's anything of use.

>>24210719
It's a Medkit. Used properly, its supplies can heal up to 2 Wounds.

>>24210915
The only thing that's throwing me off about him being Benny is that he isn't talking "hip".

>>24210872

Do we have to use up all the medkit, or can we just use it to restore 1 wound and save the rest for later?

>>24210961
I'm thinking this guy's not exactly honest with us here.
And dishonest people? Usually aren't worth healing. Especially when they're competitors in the race.

Our options are to grill him for more info, or just take the fucking medkit and leave him here for the Team Forts to eat.

>>24210961
All or nothing.

>>24210915
If you choose to take it away from Charlie, yes.

>>24210990

That'd be kind of a dick move just to leave him here, though. Especially in a place where everyone here is out to kill all outsider-looking people.

He's probably well enough to hobble on his own and cause trouble if he survives anyhow, since Fat-Fot-Pot expended one of the healing stuffs to heal him.

>>24210998
Eh, I'm with keeping Charlie alive for now, if only because he might come in handy later.
As long as Scott doesn't let his guard down, any backstabbing should be easily anticipated.

>>24210998
Honestly I'm thinking we namedrop "Benny", "Courier" or "Chip" and see if this guy's face reacts in a noticable way.
Ask him what type of skills he has that has let him survive thus far - because if he's just some dude who got lucky, we'd better keep the medkit. But [Lie] If he's a good shooter or something, then sure it'll be good to work together for a while and share the medkit.

>>24210998
>>24211081

We could have Yellowman try to act like he's still trying to figure out the medkit and toss out a few questions along that vein. It's not an unreasonable response, given how Benny was completely bamboozled as to how to operate it.

>>24211160
This works. I'll go with this.

>>24211160
Alright, let's use the medkit on him, ask him about how he's survived thus far, and about some of the competition.

And for fuck's sake, remember that both BLU and RED respawn, and the BLU Spy and Soldier are going to be respawning in a few minutes and they know where we are.
We need to move fast.

>>24211312
Well all righty then.

>>24211160
"Give me a minute, I'm figuring it out. How'd you survive this long out here anyway, you don't look like someone I'd expect to see in this place."

Charlie scowls. "You sayin' I don't look tough? I look plenty tough! I can handle myself just fine, thanks. I just...got a little unlucky, ya know? Sometimes Lady Luck is all over you with kisses and sweet nothings. The next minute her high-heel is straight up your ass! If that muscle-bound freak hadn't caught my gun and tossed it in the gunk over there, it'd be him sittin' here bleedin' like a pig!"

"OK, OK, I get your point. Hey you know a guy named Benny?" Yellowman asks.

"I don't know pal, there are a lotta guys with the name Benny, why not narrow it down some?" Charlie asks, eyes suddenly narrowed. "Why you wanna know, anyway?"

Son of a bitch, THEY'RE in the race too?

>>24211335
He is so going to backstab us at the first opportunity.

Tell him that we're looking for Pastor Benny Hinn. We thought that he sounded like someone from the Pastor's world. If we're wrong, we're sorry.
Through him off our track.
http://www.bennyhinn.org/

>>24211389
Let's do it, but have Benny let down his guard first by throwing him off by saying >>24211402

Yes, we may as well kill a Canonical Villain now before he doublecrosses us, but there's no reason not to do it properly.

>>24211460
>>24211402
Sure. I feel bad about murdering a guy like this but I suppose it's necessary.

>>24211335
"He owes me a chip." Make sure it's actually Benny before shooting him.

>>24211477
>I feel bad about murdering a guy like this
Is it the killing itself or that we're doing it while he's unarmed?

>>24211490
So how about:
"He owes me a chip."
When Benny says that he doesn't owe us shit, say, "Wait, you're not Benny Hinn? Pastor Benny Hinn?"
Let him let down his guard.
Then fry his face with plasma from Waldorf.

>>24211490
It's as Benny as it can possibly be.
Don't bother with witty quips. If you're saying anything, make it "I'm sorry, I'm getting too paranoid. Let me heal you." or something along those lines, in a sincere calm voice.
That way Benny won't react as easily.

Remember, he's a damn near expert knife-fighter and brawler. If you piss him off in close combat, he'll directly attack you.

>>24211542
No to "he owes me a chip". He'll just attack us and we'll forefeit surprise if you say that.

>>24211567
Yeah, but Quips are awesome. Also, it makes me feel better then shooting a guy in the back.

>>24211608
I favor practicality.

>>24211619
Practicality is fine, but what are we if we don't Quip? Just a low life assassin thug, that's what.

>>24211638
I'm fine with that.

>>24211608
We're not the ones shooting here, remember?
We aren't in the drivers seat.
So it really depends on if Scott is cool with shooting a guy who is currently helpless but is pretty much guarenteed to betray us later.

>>24211650
I guess it is up to good ol' Scott.

Scott, this guy is Benny from New Vegas.
He betrays the everloving shit out of the Player Character. Twice if you let him.
He's one of the villains of the setting.
He's skilled at pistols, knife-fighting, and unarmed.

>>24211648
You might be, but is Yellowman?

>>24211650
Pretty much this.

>>24211490
"He owes me a chip," Scott says.

"Well if you're after the Benny I know, you're not gonna collect. He's dead," Charlie says. "Some low-life blew his brains out in his own suite. 'Course given the look of you, I doubt we're talking about the same guy."

Scott is hesitant about killing an unarmed injured man, but is waffling on the decision. You can probably force the issue.

>>24211744
Check the gun in the muck. That'll ID him.

Scott. While I don't want to shoot him, I'm pretty sure the bastard has a hold-out pistol and a knife on him.

In fact, I'd be careful, he might be attempting to use himself as bait.

>>24211744
Look, I know you were in the Scout Corps, not Intelligence. Just keep in mind that this guy has a greater than 90% probability of stabbing us in the back somehow.
This is a Death Race, remember?
If you want kill him when he's on his feet, just remember that it's the same as giving Al Capone a chance before blowing his brains out.

Do it, Scott. We're low on time.

>>24211744
In my opinion, even though this guy probably is Benny, he wouldn't be stupid enough to double-cross Scott in this leg of the race at least.
What with the immortal insane mercenaries everywhere.
I mean there's treachery and then there's suicide.

>>24211825
Like if he is going to backstab you, it won't be either until you're both in the same room as the teleporter, or right when you guys start the next leg of the race.
As it stands, you could probably use some assistance with getting past the aforementioned immortal insane mercenaries.
As long as you're not fool enough to actually trust "Charlie" I say go for it.

Putting my vote into "Don't trust the guy".

>>24211894
But that's worthless; none of us are trusting the guy.
The question is if we kill him now or wait until he actually betrays us.
Your vote is truly meaningless.

>>24211790
Missed this, sorry.

Scott searches around in the water for a gun.

"Hey, whaddya doing? I'm bleeding into a two hundred dollar suit here!" Charlie complains.

>>24211744

We trust in your judgement, Yellowman. A short-term alliance might not be a terrible idea to survive here.

But this guy has all the makings of Ahriman here. He might cooperate with you for a while, but sooner or later he's going to backstab you at the worst moment.

>>24212147
Eh, Benny's a lot less dangerous than Ahriman.
I say uneasy alliance for now but just don't let him get behind you.

>>24212164

He's the one with field experience.

Scott actually finds a modified Riot Shotgun in pristine condition leaning against the edge of the platform in such a way that no water has actually entered its inner workings in a million to one chance.

"Hey, you found Gertrude!" Charlie says, perking up. "I'd have preferred ya docced me up first, but I ain't complainin' about getting my gun back. Eh, assuming that's why you stopped to look for it..."

>>24212164
I'm good for this. Keep an eye on him FFP.

Kill him quietly. You know what kind of fucked up survivalist thinking that Mad Max-style worlds give people.

"Luckily she seems fine. So I'm curious, what'd your Benny do to get his brains blown out in his own suite?"

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. patch him up.

>>24212189
Heal him and then immediately back away to get out of close combat range.
Point a gun at him and try and explain to him the extend to which RED and BLU teams are bad fucking news.
The whole 'they come back to life if you kill them, and they remember and can learn from how they died'.
If it seems like his pragmatism outweighs his douchiness, give him his gun.

>>24212189
Just shoot him with Waldorf now. He can't be trusted and he'll simply be more trouble than he's worth.

After much inner turmoil, the voices of cautious mercy outweigh the ones of cold pragmatism. Scott decides to patch up Charlie, though not about to trust him as far as he can throw him.

"OK, I think I got it figured out," Scott says, advancing to Charlie's side and using the Medkit on him. Twisting a few dials and opening expanding panels in the side, Yellowman uses the kit's powerful drugs and tools to seal shut the worst of Charlie's injuries.

>Yellowman now has the option to put points into First Aid/Medicine.

"Aaaaaaw, I feel like a million bucks! Thanks, doc!" Charlie says, grinning. The grin fades as Yellowman points Waldorf at him.

"Now listen up, buddy," Yellowman says. "You've seen RED and BLU in action. You know they're bad news. What you might not know is that they keep coming back to life. And they learn from the mistakes that killed them. I'll give you back your gun, but only if you give me your word you're not going to use it on ME for at least until we find a place to safely part ways."

Charlie scowls.

"Whadda guy, this kid over here! You really think I'd be so low as to ice the man that patched me up? If I ever pull a gun on you, you'll be facing me, you'll be armed, and you'll know why I'm doing it," Charlie says, standing up. Yellowman frowns and hands him Gertrude. The suited man grabs it and begins to inspect the weapon.

"Lady luck must've felt sorry for me, Gertrude's perfectly fine! Just missing a few shells, and I can fix that!" Charlie says, laughing as he pulls a handful of shotgun shells from a pocket and begins to load the weapon.

I'll stick with you for a while, see how far we get as a team. If I don't like it, I'll split after we make it out of here. Otherwise... well, we'll see."

"Are you two ready to move yet?" Pot asks. "The longer I float around here, the more anxious I am to leave! This place smells like a narf's anterior and looks like a juke's puke!"

I'm On A Roll!: Any 'doubles' rolls (22, 44, etc.) add a bonus to their result. A roll of 77 is considered a roll of 100.

Let It Ride: If Charlie takes multiple actions and gets a critical success, he can use that result for all of his actions that turn.

Games of Chance: Charlie can choose to roll twice on an action twice a session, but he MUST take the more extreme of the rolls, whichever result is closer to 0 or 100.

"The portal out is in the Intelligence room in the RED base," Yellowman says, falling into step behind Charlie.
