Your single acquired mutation thus far (you can spend a turn trying to mutate a trait, by the way. It helps if you have a basis for it from monster corpses or something similar though) is the Internal Biofuel Production mutation.

-Internal biofuel production
Your mutants now manufacture biofuel internally, and their physiologies have modified themselves to expel it as a disorientating CQC weapon. The slicks produced can be set on fire with flame weaponry, and react explosively with plasma weaponry.

When not expelled, the biofuel is used as an alternate energy source for the body and provides bonuses to strength and resilience increasing with increased buildup time. Penetrating or plasma weaponry is likely to set off internal biofuel reserves though, if they're allowed to build up.

Roll a d100 with your action list (unless I specify that something will need a separate roll) and good luck. Currently you have 1 basic action per turn.

This A.I. estimates that Herr Doktor will only need either the resource point, or the test subjects to complete the serum. However, if he is provided both there might be some benefit derived from it.

Dr. Mendel sets about his work to create a normative serum in earnest. The Test Subjects march slowly into the labs he has requisitioned as his own, their eyes mournful but their heads high knowing that they go in order to further the cause of all mutant-kind.

(Lost- 20 Normal Poulation, 5 Biofuel Variant)

After an extended amount of time, a surprisingly not blood covered figure emerges from the labs looking rather puzzled.
"I have completed ze formula, your fellows sacrifice assisted me greatly and it exceeds expectations..." the figure pauses for a moment before seemingly deciding to finish his sentence "und there were also 5 survivors. I do hope you will allow me ze privilege to work with them further in ze future."

Noting your forces' lack of mobile communication, you set your more technologically inclined members to creating portable radio communications equipment. With information from my general archives we were able to come up with basic handheld units and to modify the Comm Devices for intra-facility communications so that they could act as relays.

Warning, the encryption protocols on the handheld devices are fairly weak (made up for by ease-of-use and lightweight). Pairing them with standard military code-speak and using the technicals' equipment as hubs for long distance coordination should be enough to prevent most listeners from deciphering communications though.

Acquired:
Handheld radio devices, radio hubs (technicals), moderate encryption.

Our forces set out to test their new equipment and more thoroughly explore the areas they'd scouted previously, so they set out to the North and East.

To the North they found that the Bandit base we had noticed earlier controls a a path through the skyscraper wall. Intercepted transmissions show that they seem to have an extortion/"tax" deal going on to keep the area safe for caravans of illicit goods to bring their products into the area.
Otherwise, this seems to be formerly the infrastructure section of the city. Wrecked power distribution hubs and training facilities for police and other essential services sit side by side
To the Northeast we found the ruins of a massive nuclear power complex that was positively infested with ghouls. Mostly feral, though there appear to be a few sections where sentient ghouls have carved out some fortified settlements.
No contact was established with either the bandits nor sentient ghouls, neither seem to be aware of us. We picked up some garbled transmissions on the trek out there, but nothing identifiable. Seemed like it was just noise.

To the East we weren't so fortunate. The zombies in this direction were particularly numerous. They seemed to ignore us by-and-large and drive towards the wall, but we still caught some flak so to speak. We determined that this section of the facility is primarily warehouse and logistics coordination facilities. They're mostly unlooted, but have still been disturbed somewhat.

Sorry for the delay, I had a cat and girlfriend related emergency.

The warehouses and central hubs for logistics corporations were much less looted than you'd expect, but we did find evidence of recent scavenging. We also picked up some signals while going through this area, and thanks to some quick-thinking by Kapitan Schultz I was able to decipher a little bit of it.
Some of the transmissions were from some sort of tribal or survivor group, and were inane daily chitter-chatter. The other, more difficult to decipher signals I could only break thanks to some apparently lax operation standard by the Comm-Officer. They were from some forces associated with a certain "Dendra Corp." that came under heavy attack from the zombies during a salvage mission into the warehouse complexes.

You head into the streets and the sewers to capture a few zombies for dissection and analysis. The zombies are varied in scope, running the gamut from frail humans shambling on broken legs while their rotting intestines spill from split stomachs to hulking behemoths of muscles with spikes of bone protruding from their fists and joints. Their not uniform enough, but they seem to split into rough types:

Standard- Basic standard humans, slightly increased strength and can run (poorly) but not much of a threat to mutants.
Behemoths- Hulks of bone, muscle, and god knows what else. The origins of these things are unclear, but Dr. Mendel says they're likely either mutants who succumbed to the plague or are manufactured in the zombie hives elsewhere in the city. The density of them is odd for there to be just the one zombie hive you've encountered thus far though, he adds.
Creepers- Sneaky bastards, they have tentacles coming out of their backs and use them to get into places you'd never expect them to be. Also, they can spew flesh-melting acid from their faces.

And that's only the surface. The zombies in the sewers were considerably tougher, we couldn't get the drop on any of them and when we managed to take one down the rest would redouble their attacks to seize the corpse and drag it back with them.

On the surface we fared much better and managed to capture a few creepers and standards and retrieve a good number of corpses from all the types.

Scouts were sent to the Northwest quadrant of the city to examine the ghoul power complex more thoroughly and see if there was anything/anyone else of note in the area.

To the more Westerly edge of the quadrant they encountered a coastal area and docks. There was an intact megacorp tower they noticed (other towers in good repair were seen further south), but when they tried to navigate to there they rapidly got lost among the maze of buildings. It happened again when they tried to navigate towards the military-industrial looking factories abutting the ocean in the northwesternmost corner of the city.

They tried to turn around and evac the fuck out of there only to discover that the way they'd come through was now flooded with very hungry looking feral ghouls. That was when a particularly heavy figure with a flickering forcefield projected around its vitals stepped out of the crowd and walked towards our scouts.

"Well shit, if it ain't the thrice-damned Darwinyans back in this fucking town? Goddamn I never thought I'd see another one of you again." the figure said while lighting up a cigar and taking a few puffs on it. This only served to make our already strained scouts more on edge.

Uh lets see here EDE always said that bandits came in quite the variety in all respects.

Outcasts who for whatever reason had to leave their faction.

Outlaws who came from one distinct faction.

Pirates who may sail on land, sea, or air. Quite possibly more then one.

Raider those who hit hard and range far. Can sometimes have a home base and family back home like the vikings of old.

Slaver pretty self explanatory.

Bandits Basic info
Not all bandits are insane its just without the proper facilities factions had to do something with their crazies and they may encounter certain things that cause it as well. Some bandits are more depraved then others, its just that when you become a bandit you are affiliated with ALL bandits and what they do. So it doesn't really matter how evil you are or not once you be a bandit it all comes around. Doesn't help that as you are surrounded by the acts they begin to rub off on you.

Mutant Bandits
With what little was provided I was able to determine that most mutants who get kicked out may often begin work with bandits. Which is bad news if you consider how they stack only hard counter war wise would be paramilitary mutants if you don't work on increasing your war capacity like crazy.


As is bandits are not picky about who they work with so no big surprise that some of them may often work with mutants. I mean in damn near any instance we saw in EDE quests there was always a bandit faction willing to work with mutants and kicked some major ass doing so(literally every single one). This ISN'T even including the fact we never have actually seen a bandit mutant faction only hinted about it. Plus the two paramilitary mutant faction we saw was able to fight all its neighbors to a ground still even WITH cyborg support. The other one was in the swamp...

His preliminary results show that the Zombie Plague combined with the zombie's protein-dense diet is the primary motivator for basic zombies increased strength, but that there are indeed some interesting mutagens in the behemoth and creeper physiologies. It would take more research to discover their exact nature and benefits though.

You guys just keep on getting good rolls on your scouting! Nothing interesting is going to happen if you guys don't go sticking your noses in places you're not supposed to and get some bad rolls!

>Diplomatic Questions/etc.?
We are very grateful for your hospitality Fräulein Vass, such a rarity in these times. If you'd be willing we'd like to share information between us, what we've explored and what you've explored. It's more than likely you know a lot more about this city than us.

Is there anything we should tell Herr Doktor Mendel as a reason to visit, or would you rather tell him in person yourself?

Let's wait and see if we can't get some more details on what's there first. >>28728544


But those are good actions nonetheless, with the adendum of specifically seeing if the behemoth genome can be assimilated.

>>28728544

"Haha, you want information about the city? Here's the deal, I don't wanna fuck up whatever it is Dr. Mendel is doing with you guys so I'll only tell you a bit more about things you already know.

Here's your 1st one, it's a freeby. The Bloodskull Brawlers up in the north are about the only bandit fuckers who survived the cleansing that went down here a couple of years ago. They've been tough as nails ever since then, and they control all the illicit goods going in or out of this place. You need something, talk to them. Well...maybe you guys should be a bit more careful than just knocking on the front door if you know what I mean?

Any other specific questions you guys got? I'm in a generous mood knowing Mendel's back in town, means thing'll get real exciting real quick soon.

As for Dr. Mendel, I'll talk to him in person or in private. There's shit that needs to be shared privately in that conversation."

>>28728870
What is the deal with the zombies? We encountered some smart ones a while ago. How do you guys go about that, doing your own thing with them everywhere I mean.

Rolled 83

>>28728995

"Oh, you guys don't know about the zombies yet? You're in for a helluva surprise then. I'll give you a hint: there're two types of zombies in this town. One of them you don't want to steal shit from, the other you don't want to fuck with unless you're balls-to-the-wall like summa those mutants that carve their homes in the sewers.

As for how we deal with'm...we eat'm. That aside the radiation around here is strong enough that'll turn everything except their toughest into more of us, so we've both learned to leave well enough alone. 'Course, now that your Doc's around I dunno what's gonna go down."

Your scouts go out to scout the Western section of the city and are immensely successful. They find a few zombie hives clustered uncomfortably close to our base, but manage to navigate past them without rousing any response. They pass through an uneventful series of ruined commercial complexes with scatterings of zombies being fought off along the way (corpses recovered for experimentation purposes). That is, until they came upon a section of residential district and detected a survivor/tribal broadcast. They decided to follow it and managed to find the entrances to the underground ruins they seem to be operating out of.

Discovered: Survivor faction.

Passing on attacking the filthy human scum, the scouts continued further west until they hit the city docks. That is to say, they would've hit the docks if they hadn't stumbled upon a rolling battle in progress between 3 separate factions. It looked like 1 mutant faction's base was being attacked by an overwhelming force of well equipped vehicles piloted by borgs, while a separate mutant faction was hitting the borgs from their flank. Our scouts were unable to resist joining in to assist our mutant brothers, and took a few potshots at the augmented human scum but withdrew before they could be noticed/differentiated from the other 2 mutant forces.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mendel started work on deciphering the mutagens in the Behemoths. He all-but completed isolating the genes responsible for their increased toughness and strength, but the increased bone density/strength will take a little while more. He suspects that there's only a little left in the Behemoth genome, but that it's likely to be the most valuable of all.

Mutagens available:
Strength (moderately pure)
Resilience (moderately pure)

Rolled 89

>>28729898

Dr. Mendel suggests that with his research and some gene-therapy, the likelihood that any Darwinyans attempting to integrate the strength or resilience components of the behemoths would be quite unlikely to develop the cancers usually associated with utilizing their ability.

Zum donnerwetter!
This must not stand! We must come to the aid of our brüder at once!

>>28730104
Well, actually, quick question A.I. can you calculate the likelyhood of a sucessful reinforcement of the mutant factions based on the numbers we've seen?

Also, based on our previous zombie experiments and captives, what is the likelyhood of us being able to trigger a zombie stampede toward the borg?

Rolled 49

>>28730104
We don't have any anti vehicular weaponry.

>>28730147
Yeah, we don't. Just the spur of the moment musing.

Even with behemoth augments or our fiery algae mutants we'd probably have a tough time. But if we can so much as tip the scale in their favor somehow, I wish we could.

Rolled 80

>>28730134

Based on the numbers we've seen, I calculate the chances of us making a significant difference in the outcome of the battle to depend on how slick the concrete and asphalt will become to the Borg vehicles when coated in our blood.

Our research on the zombies has indicated that the Creeper zombies act as 'scouts' (they leave a pheromone trail that draws other zombies and tend to try to infiltrate inhabited areas) for the zombie hordes, but it would require much research to isolate the pheromone and the zombies are constantly evolving so its effectiveness would not last long. The first time it's used though would likely be quite striking.

Rolled 47

>>28730326
Duly noted.
Then let the Doctor continue his research on behemoth integration, and we should ensure he has the necessary supplies to continue this.
>>>>>G. Scavenge/pillage for raw materials.
If possible, do so in previously deemed safe or at least explored locations, with the knowledge that you shouldn't take anything from zombies or evidently owned by active faction (which should be a de facto thing from now on)

Rolled 45

Our Scavengers went out to retrieve resources and did pretty well until they went into one formerly empty building in the East and found it infested with zombies that immediately started fighting them. Fortunately the close quarters with our Oil-spewer forces allowed them to make out with most of the loot, but we lost a good number of men. Fortunately they managed to lose the horde before we got back to our base, but sensors show that they're still milling around overground. I've detected some movement underground also, but cannot identify its exact nature.

(Losses: 35 normal, 35 Biofuel variant)

(Gained: 4 resources)

Dr. Mendel turned his hand towards refining the mutagens and we heard a few explosions down in the labs...when we went down there we found Dr. Mendel was idly setting off clumps of biofuel algae.
"This shit's really piling up down here. Oh, und I finished ze mutagens. Quite pure now, no risk of cancers. Take by injection."

Find some barrels and put concentrated bio fuel in them around the perimeter of the base for massive damage.

Also add a couple flame thrower nests near the entrance. Just a couple sand bags, some pipes, a pump or two and BAM! Roasted zombies. We'll make them into bunkers later.
