Otto's Multiversal Mayhem

Post by **arcanus** » Mon Jun 03, 2013 1:31 pm

The Township of Goodlund - Gothica – 1876
The town hall was abuzz with consternation, the fog now enshrouded the town obscuring the riverside fort and continuing to instill palpable fear in the young soldiers stationed within.
Constable Mayweather had finally persuaded Mayor Cornwell to venture out of his home and chair an emergency meeting , although only when escorted by armed guards.

Amdea couldn't discern the purpose of the meeting, the townsfolk had descended into a panicked squabble having been brought together in place place.
Looking outside she could see the white vapor floating throughout the streets and the apparitions that haunted the fog, so far they had not harmed any of the townsfolk and perhaps they wouldn't need to the fear they encouraged night after night was effective enough.

Her earring chimed, another of her infuriating husbands inventions, she remained silent as Straad began to talk, his tone a cross between a monotone teacher and musical conductor.

<Sorry to disturb you Madame> although he couldn't hear her response she mentally thanked him
<Something curious has occurred, firstly the Tachyon gate has activated although nothing corporeal materialized, this was promptly followed by the activation of the Code Womb>
Amdea shook her head
<To clarify any confusion Madame an unidentified datastream has been transmitted into a apparatus of Master Von Weirdigan>
<Analyzing>

A wild sense of exultation, followed by a stinging sense of loss floods the Xert as he picks up the man and staggers after the others.

Has he found a vaccine? A cure? Or was this a fluke?

'Something else has happened here; beyond my control.' He thinks.

Otto's inquiry is met with solemn silence, rapidly rounding the corner of the passageway, a tunnel extended before him the mans shallow breath caressing the brick walls.

A jolt struck his cranialware, a piece of data, quick analysis revealed this to some form of etheric coordinates.

Ahead his attention was drawn to the faint voices of the other men, far ahead.

Otto, moving with a fast but shambling gait attempts to stabilise the casualty whilst catching up with the other survivors.

'Wait up fellas!' he shouts in a ragged, tired and dry voice which echoes down the tunnel. 'Give me a hand here!'.

'I'm bloody shattered!' he exclaims to no one in particular.

What are the co-ordinates that have been relayed to me? Does it relate to the co=ordinates of the downed invaders machine?

So, with my wrist watch replicator I will not be able to physically duplicate the anti-toxin?

How about etherically?

GM wrote:It resembles a network passcode rather than coordinates.

GM wrote:You have the formula, however the dwindling capacity of the replicator won't produce enough to cure more than an additional person.

GM wrote:The Etheric would create a phantom quantity, a placebo as it were, however this would need to be translated to the physical to truly help these people.

How about if this was sent virally in conjunction of my plan to infect the invaders with my etheric interference?

For example, when they fire their chemical weapons, the etheric antidote would cling to the toxin as it was produced so the weapon would in fact be spraying the antidote at its would be victims!

Can I identify the origin of this downloaded passcode, what it is for? And who sent it without opening it? I'm wary of counter viruses from the enemy!

GM wrote:That would work, however you would need a physical catalyst to allow the antidote to enshroud the toxin.

Are we talking a living specimen here?

Have some of the other survivors answered or responded to my call?

Have I managed to stabilise the man? First Aid/Biology of 13

The tunnel stretches on for what seems like miles, turning yet another bend Otto finds the remainder of the group having reached a large cylindrical chamber, with sewer water cascading down from various outlets into a larger pool and green moss covered metal ladders extending upwards to street level.

"By jove old man, thought we'd lost you" exclaims Wells, who's look of happiness soon vanishes when he sees the condition of the man in your care.

'Not yet fella, but this bloke needs to find somewhere to rest up' he says grimly as he squints around the company ensuring that Olivia is still with them.

He gestures to two of the me in the group to take the injured man from him. 'I've managed to contain, if not purge the poison of that black smoke'. he points significantly at his still form.

I have attached a basic seeker tracking device to a necklace he is wearing.

'He may be the key to defeating this enemy, so I suggest you keep him safe. Or the invaders will be the least of your worries'.

''Scuse me' he says as he pulls out a metal petri dish from his inside suit pocket and kneels down to a patch of the invading vegetation and scoops up a sample of it. He quickly screws on a cap and drops it in his suit. 'Been meaning to do that since I bloody got here!' he says to no-one in particular.

'Have you got somewhere you can lie low, where I can meet you all later?' He asks Wells, assuming that he had taken on the role as leader of the group.

'I've got to keep moving, and there are things that just can't wait.' he says with evident fatigue in his voice.

'I need to find an intact apothacery, or a laboratory, do you or anyone know of one?' he asks.
