Good to see you again AC-Guy.

y so many waifu quests

>>22386321

>In this one, the Waifu is a thirty foot tall Killer robot fueled by hate.

>If that don't get you hot and heavy, I don't know what will.

Curse you AC-Guy. I have work in the morning and now I'm not gonna get any sleep.

Excellent! This is my favorite of your two ongoing quests.

YOU ARE ALEX RASTON.

And you are the Core Whisperer.

Upon sharing this revelation with Elsie, she slaps you, and proceeds to freak out.

"Why the hell is your robot moving?" she asks, horrified.

"Fucked if I know, but I'm not sure it's panic worthy." You respond easily, moving in to inspect the damage. Thankfully, it's minor. It won't need surgery.

"Surgery?" Elsie asks, incredulous. "Alex, is this really the time for jokes."

"If I've lost the ability to form an internal monologue, then yes. I'd say this is a panic worthy situation." you respond, walking away from the core. "Stay Boy, I'm gonna go get the robot-doctor."

Mooch is easy to find, running from Ken you casually snag him and ask him to explain what's up with your robot.

"Huh." He says as it looks at him, before walking to a nearby console and running some sort of program. "Alright, that's weird."

"Weird how?"

"It's not showing any of the higher patterns that my core does." He responds, giving it a look.

"What does that mean?"

"Functionally? It's about as smart as an attack dog." He responds turning to you. "Which makes no sense."

[ ] Ask him how it's weird.
[ ] Ask him how it's possible.
[ ] Deal with it in the morning.

>>22386692
>[ ] Ask him how it's weird.
"It's a big stompy killbot, why does it not having human-level intelligence not make sense?"

>>22386692
>[ ] Ask him how it's possible.
Nice to see you again. If your still running in 16 hours or so, I'll drop in again, but I got to leave ya with this vote till then.

>>22386713
This works.

>>22386692
[X] Ask him how it's weird.

"What's so weird about that? He's like a puppy, a giant robot death puppy.

Who's a good AC? That's right boy, you are."

seconding^ had to find batteries for my freaking keyboard when I saw that we were having Quest

I stop and look at him. "It's a big stompy killbot, why does it not having human-level intelligence not make sense?"

"Because the design of your core's central computing systems are based on mine. Therefore, it should be showing similar patterns."

"And your robot is smarter than mine?"

"Well, it's not quite that simple. There's a complex series of fractal algorithms that-" He hesitates, realizing the technobable is soaring way above my head. "Right sorry. My robot is smarter, for certain values of 'smart'."

"So what does that mean? Why is it weird?"

"Well, It doesn't fit the established neural pattern." I stare at him. "Alright, it's not the right... shape. Like let's say it's supposed to be a bottle. Mine is a full bottle. Ari's, Dave's, Laurie's, Elsie's..... Empty bottles." He says with a gesture around the Hangar. "So that leaves your core. It was a bottle, we poured water into it, and it spontaneously turned itself into a martini glass."

"Weird." I comment, having nothing else to say.

"Beyond weird. Incomprehensible." Mooch says, looking over the technical readouts. "This is like finding out gravity only works if we THINK it does, and just taking off into the sky on a whim."

"That big a deal?"

"This is contradicting most traditional computing thought since Alan Turing." He responds.

[ ] Ask something else (What?).
[ ] Go to bed.

"You're just jealous that my AC is cuter that yours."

Give our AC a hug and then get to bed.

Wait, why is it only our Core that has it's central computing systems based of of his?

>playing fetch with a big stompy killbot
Worked fine for Alyx.

"Does this affect anything? Do I need to buy the kill bot a birthday cake, or get a huge ball and play fetch in the middle of the desert?"

"No...." Mooch says, giving me a weird look.

"Then I believe this can wait until morning?"

"I guess? Honestly, might be a good idea not to fly it until we know what's going on." Mooch comments. "I mean, we were figuring on a few days worth of downtime anyway. I'll let you know." He finishes weakly, slowly turning all his attention back to the computer.

I walk up the stairs and Elsie joins me. We get to our room and.... "That's really weird with your core." She says, as she undresses for bed.

"Yeah. I suspected something, but I was wrong about it. Also, that raises more questions as far as what happened with those weird dreams...."

"Yeah, I guess." She comments, sitting on the bed. "Long day."

"Kinda, yeah."

"Next time we take a day off, you and I are sneaking off somewhere. No more of that girly crap."

"What, not lacy enough for your tastes, El?"

"NO MORE!" She mock roars, dragging me into bed to... cuddle. I kinda thought she was going somewhere else with that, but whatever.

The night passes in an exhausted blur. The next morning after I take a shower and see Mooch preparing breakfast.

"What'cha cooking?" I ask, not yet completely awake.

"I'm ma-"

"No." Dave says.

"But-"

"Mooch, if you sing that song one more time, I shall be forced to kill you."

I look at the stove. "Are you... putting bacon inside pancakes?"

>>22387458


"YES." Mooch responds, gleefully. "Also chocolate chips."

I look at the pile of indigestion sizzling in the skillet, and take a seat next to Dave when the phone rings.

Why are we suddenly in first person? AC-Quest is always second-person and it's throwing me right the fuck off.

>>22387571

>>22387566
>MRS.POWELL
Your elementary school English teacher, I presume?

>>22387627
Yup. Sixth-grade, I think. She encouraged me to write, but she was really grognardy about what counted as writing.

She thought I'd eventually 'grow' up from writing fantasy and move onto a 'real' genre. I suppose I did, I moved from 'fantasy' to 'speculative fiction as a whole'. And also erotic fiction, but I don't talk about that.

You take a second to evaluate the situation, and decide to excuse yourself from it.

Grabbing the phone you step out of the kitchen and answer it. "Hello?"

"Alex." Dervish not quite greets. "Is Mooch available? I need to speak with him for a second."

"Alright." You respond, tossing him the phone.

Mooch catches it easily. "Hello?" There's a full fifteen seconds of silence before Mooch's face splits in an insane smile. "I HAVE WAITED MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THIS PHONE CALL!" He cries joyously, before slamming the phone down and SPRINTING out of the room. You see him rushing across the hangar with a pair of duffel bags to an old box-van he's been using to haul parts.

You briefly wonder how panicked you should be as he speeds out of the hangar on squealing tires.

[ ] Very.
[ ] Seriously.
[ ] RUN.

Im back for one day only, Get your tickets while you can.

p.s. Bring more popcorn.

>>22387726
"Everyone stay calm This is why we built the Panic room"

YOU ARE MOOCH.

And this is obviously the best idea you've ever had, even if Steve disagreed. He's probably just cranky about shooting him with a dart gun.

"What the hell kind of plan is this?"

"Dervish said he needed me to go downtown. He said I needed to be as distracting as possible, for as long as possible."

"Alright, but that doesn't fully explain why you expect me to rob a bank dressed like the Riddler."

"That's because we need to grab two more members to complete our party. We have Wizard and a Rouge. We need a Tank and a Healer."

".... What in the high holy FUCK are you-"

"OH! HE LOOKS BIG!" you exclaim, pointing a to a man roughly the same size as a shaved grizzly who's just leaning on a building. "YOU!" You scream, leaning out the window as the car slams to a stop. "Do you want to have an adventure?"

"Danger and high excitement?" The man asks in a chipper tone of voice.

"OF COURSE!"

"Let me get my bag!" He exclaims. He goes inside and returns with a crate, and a smaller man following him. "Fraide, please don't do anything stupid."

"I'll live." He responds calmly climbing in the van.

"That's not what concerns me. What concerns me is the inevitable mountain of paperwork."

"Concern noted and ignored." The large man says as he slams the door shut. "So what now?" He asks you as you speed off.

[x]WE NEED MORE DAKKA!

and a recording device.

How late is it running tonight?

...is something on fire again?

"We need more Dakka." You state calmly, driving to the house of a friend of a friend. Dervish gave you a number and an address.

The phone rings. "Hello? Stinger Tech, Allison speaking."

"Hi, this is Mooch. I need to talk to Danny."

There's a pause, and a man answers the phone. "Danny O'Conner, this is... Mooch?"

"Yeah, Dervish said that you would help me if I told you he'd forget about that thing that happened in Memphis."

There's a brief pause. "Alright, what's the play?"

"I need as much C4 as you can put into a duffel-bag, and meet outside your place of business, ready for adventure."

"Well, I don't know what's going on, but I already love this plan." He says with a laugh. "Meet you our front in five."

You'll have to break the speed limit to get there that fast. You're going to be breaking a lot of things today.

Danny leaps in the car, and you look back to view your team. Steve's already wearing his greens, and Fraide has donned full SWAT armor with a Poncho and a Sombrero on top. The 'SWAT' On the shield has been replaced with a cheerful 'HOLA' and he's holding a sawn-[off shotgun in his other hand.

Danny looks at everyone and merely comments "I didn't know this was a costume party." before taking the T-shirt he was wearing under his lab-coat off and fashioning it into a ninja mask.

You slide on your Purple Kevlar duster and novelty mask. Fraide gives you an odd look. "You have a mask that looks like your face?"

>>22388233

"Fuck yeah, who doesn't want to be Mooch?"

You then pull into the banks parking lot. From hacking the traffic cams, you know there's a fat-dude with an Ice Cream van taking a nap out back.

"Alright, we need a plan." You remark. Steve and Danny give you concerned looks. Fraide gives you a 'concerned blank reflective visor'.

After a tense moment, Steve shrugs. "Go in the front, kick their asses and take their shit?"

>>NEW PLAN.

"Good start, Lacks explosions." You respond. "We have a bit of C4."

"We have two hundred and fifteen pounds of C4." Danny corrects.

"We have a fucking lot of C4." You continue. "Lets use it."

"Alright, how about this then. We set the van to drive the other way as we get out and blow it up a couple blocks away as a distraction." Steve elaborates. "We blow open the vault, and blow the back wall. We grab as much as we can, and then jack the Ice Cream truck."

"You want to steal an Ice Cream truck?" Danny asks, appalled.

"He's a fat dude, probably eats more of his own than he gives to kids. Besides, then we have an entire van's worth of Ice-Cream to eat as we make our escape."

Ask yourself one question.

"What would Steven Heck do?"

Then ask yourself another question.

"How do I one-up that?"

>>22388494
Also, I don't care what the cast picture says, I still picture Mooch as looking like the spitting image of Steven Heck. Possibly the same person in another life.

>>22388596
I was Steven Heck before Steven Heck knew Steven Heck was Cool.

If that made sense to you, we share something somewhat in common.

"Still lacking Pizazz. And that's just criminal."

"Like robbing a bank." Fraide comments.

"Exactly. Maybe we can bring the ice-cream man over to our side?" Your brain kicks into over-drive, imagining the possibilities. "Maybe some midgets? AND SOMEONE DRESSED LIKE BATMAN!"

"Mooch? This would take slightly more time than the five minutes we have before someone notices the van full of freaks in the parking lot."

"Damn." You comment. "How could we make this more flashy then?"

"Here's a plan." Danny comments. "I have a sack full of chaff and flash grenades. We toss in a few of those when we enter and a couple more before we leave, and it'll look like the back was robbed by a literal wall of light and sound."

"Can we combine this with Steve's plan?"

"Of course."

"Fraide?"

"I would suggest getting rid of the money quickly. I know a guy who'll trade us Helicopters for their worth in Cocaine."

"And I know a guy who sells coke in bulk." Danny comments."

"We're going to rob a bank, stuff an ice-cream van full of cocaine, and then use this to buy a helicopter." Steve says slowly, looking around. "Then what?"

".... Improvise?" You hazard after a moment.

"How fucking crazy are you people?"

"Won't know till we get there." Danny responds. "Allison's going to fucking kill me when she finds out how I spent my day." He then sticks a chunk of C4 to the floor of the van. "Annnd timer activated. We have five minutes before the boom."

"Wait, we need code names."

"Beatles." Danny says.

"Bond actors." Steve says.

"Ninja turtles?" Friade suggests with a shrug.

"Fuck it, all of them." You respond, labeling them off the top of your head.

>Blues-Steve.
>Ringo-Mooch.
>Tim-Danny.
>Fraide-Wheeler.

"Wait, Wheeler?" Fraide asks. "Which one?"

"Captain Planet."

"I get to set shit on fire?!? I LIKE THIS PLAN!"

The team deploys out of the van and charges the entrance while the van takes off in the opposite direction and lands in a water fountain.

The door explodes inwards, and Fraide runs in screaming about the glory of Mexico coming to take out the 'American Pigfuckers'. The lone security guard in the lobby is thrown through a window when he asked for you to explain yourselves.

"We didn't disable the alarms."

"We also forgot to lock the hostages in." You note as a stream of them charge past you and into the open outside. The van explodes in the distance, while the vault blows itself open.

Before it's even settled on the ground the four of you are already running past the door and stuffing as much money as possible into the empty duffel bags, waiting for the second charge to go off. As soon as it does, the four of you are charging the Ice-Cream van through the hole in the wall.

The fat man discharges a shotgun, but Fraide catches the blast on his shield and sends the incredible bulk to his ass as Danny hot-wires the car. Steve kicks him and takes the gun as a 'trophy'.

"Got it." Danny yells. "Let's roll Ringo."

Answer seemed to be winning

You tap the answer button on your com.

"Hello? Ringo's drug delivery service, you got the ill we have a pill."

"Mooch?" Laurie's voice comes over the coms. "Alex is trying to find the quickest way for us to leave the country, and I figured I'd talk to you while Dave tried to calm him down."

"No shit? What's got into him?"

"He said something about you 'finally going off the deep end'. What did you do to him?"

"Nothing, I just went to perform some favors to a friend." you turn to Fraide. "Hey, Wheeler, do you see a Burger King around here? I'm hungry and feel like a crown would complete my look."

"Pretty sure there's one off of Bulwark." He tells you.

"Is that Fraide? Why are you not using real names?" Laurie asks, confused. There's some noise in the background. "Wha- Alright, Mooch, tell me you aren't doing anything too crazy."

"By my standards?" You hesitate, thinking. "Well, if I'm totally honest, I've done worse."

"That doesn't help me at all." your friend tells you, concerned. "In fact it scares me more, with the whole 'bank robbery' on the news."

"I made the news?"

"....what." Laurie not quite asks. "You didn't-"

"Relax, it was one of my dad's shell ones. I'm pretty sure stealing money from the mob counts for good karma in the long term."

The silence if deafening. "Alright, so what are you doing now?"

"Getting something to eat since I skipped breakfast. After that, more reckless heroism."

Rolled 7

>>22424206

"Alright, I'm gonna go help Alex then. Pretty sure Alaska's not too bad between the Pack and the new gas deals." He tells you as he hangs up the phone. you realize that you never really considered Alaska for a long term resettlement of Hope. Might actually be worth investigating.

"Burger King!" Danny yells pointing at a sign. It's a sure sign of how awesome Vegas is when nobody even gives the newly crowned Burger King, a medical ninja, the Riddler, and a walking insult to Mexico a second glance.

You opt to eat in your car before anyone happens to catch the news, and you're soon on your way to the world's weirdest drug-deal.

>>22424206
>After that, more reckless heroism

Mooch is my new hero

This shit is Glorious!

>>22424206
Is it bad that I read all of Mooch's lines here in a thick (and very fake) Liverpudlian accent?

>>22424224

"Oh shit." Steve mumbles looking in the rear-view mirror.

"What?" you ask.

"Cops behind us. I've been rolling with Dervish long enough to know when we've been made."

Sure enough the lights come on a few moments later.

"Wait, you guys know Dervish?" Fraide asks surprised as you slam home on the gas. The only thing not related to driving on your mind right now is the cold certainty that you're too small to be anything other than someone's prison bitch.

>Chase scene!

[During evasion attempts such as chase scenes/stealth missions, there's a series of opposed rolls involved. There needs to be a certain level of successes/failures on what resembles a game of tug-o-war. To get away requires that you climb high enough on the ladder to 'win', but every success your opponent scores knocks you down a peg. Certain other skill checks can be performed to try and give situational modifiers/advantages, as appropriate by the GM's discretion.]

>Any questions on the crunch before the action starts?

>>22424371
How much C4 is left?

>>22424371
This: >>22424397

>>22424371
When does the GM decide that the chase has gone on long enough and picks an appropriate outcome?
Not trying to sound like an asshat, but this kind of roll off could go on forever, as you've described it.

>>22424437
If I'm reading it right (and AC-Guy, correct me if I'm way off base here), think of it as a measure of distance from pursuit. The chase ends either when the pursuer catches up, or the pursuee puts enough distance between them.

>>22424397
>>22424407

>Based off what Danny's used so far, somewhere in the range of sixty to seventy pounds.

>You aren't sure on detonators though.

>>22424437

>Well, there's some things that can affect it. I'm hesitant to set things in stone, but if you stay on a cop's radar long enough in the middle of town, eventually the rolls are going to get significantly harder due to more cops/resources going towards the chase. Especially if your attempts at escaping are destructive and high-profile.

>Running from some dude in the woods the might eventually decide to just give up on chasing you, or something.

>As is, this game's even less finished than it was due to data-loss. I'm winging the fine points, but I can see how it could be a concern.

>>22424478

>Well, yes. At least a metaphorical distance thing, but if one car's chasing another and they're both going the same speed, it's a question of fuel economy more than driving skill.

>It's a worthy concern, but not one I'm prepared to confront directly.

>>22424491
>sixty to seventy pounds
Time to do something crazy.
Since we can mold C-4 into lots of different shapes, I say we make a big C-4 donut and roll it out the back of the van at our pursuer.

>>22424521

Pretty sure Danny's going to veto murdering cops.

>>22424549
I never said we'd DETONATE it.
But if you see a big donut made of C-4 rolling towards your car, are you gonna keep driving towards it?

>>22424518
>>22424491
okay, just making sure that we aren't going to end up in a trap of
>cops roll poorly, you are now 3 successes away from victory
>cops roll well, you are now 4 successes away from victory
>cops roll poorly again, you are now 3 successes away from victory
etc., etc.

>>22424564
That is a very good point.

>>22424564

Point, but we might need the C4 later.

We're in an ice-cream truck. Let's throw frozen goodies at them.

>>22424549
we don't want to hurt anybody, but we do want to stay high-profile. We're still trying to draw a bunch of attention away from whatever Dervish is doing.

I don't suppose we could Michael Weston our ice cream, costumes, and C4 into some really flashy fireworks.

>>22424617
Yes.

[X]Throw ice cream at the cops to obscure their vision.

It is an ill omen of things to come.

You yell at your comrades to do something, and Steve opts to throw a tub of Rocky Road at the pursuing vehicle.

It splatters dramatically on the windshield, exploding ice-cream everywhere. He swerves a little, startled, and you take the opportunity to cut through an abandoned playground, putting a bit more distance between you as you slide around the next corner.

>So, uh... Actions? Are you gonna do something other than drive?

>>22425721
Yes. Throw some caltrops behind us, a few flashbangs onto their windshield if they catch up, and if they're getting too close launch sticky foam into their radiators.

>>22425721
Caltrops are always a good idea.

Fraide throws a handful of Caltrops out the back, but sadly they scatter too much for an accurate throw.

On the plus side, the cop swerved to dodge them and slowed himself by bouncing off a dumpster, but he's also managed to clean his windshield.

>Evasion +1

The foam grenade impacts the car perfectly, and the man driving panics and spins into a phone-pole. Unfortunately, this happens right in front of a pair of police cruisers, one of whom immediately takes up the chase while the other checks on the wrecked car.

The foam grenade hits a little lower than intended, and clogs the radiator, choking the fan and cooling off.

After that occurs, the pursuit vehicle rapidly begins to overheat, and drops off the pursuit.

As you begin to breath a sigh of relief, Another cop car swerves into the chase, almost hitting your truck as he spins out, and quickly begins to pursue.

Fraide notes that he only has two more foam grenades.

Shoot another foam grenade, It seems to be working well.

Umm... Do we have anyone good enough a shot to (relatively) safely shoot tires? If not, a flashbang to a windshield should take one out, I can't imagine he'll take sharp corners when he's stunned. Also, we may have done this already, but guys, we do have LOTS of ice cream.

You look back at the cops, a lot closer on your bumper than you'd like. And you know enough from working with your father that pretty soon they're going to send in the choppers.

"Ride's too hot." Steve comments. "We need to ditch it ASAP."

"Yeah, but that's not gonna do us any good if they see us make the switch." Fraide yells as he loads another foam grenade.

"FUCK IT." You yell, thinking fast. "Throw everything!"

"What?" Danny asks confused.

"Danny, drop the caltrops. Steve, throw more ice cream. Fraide, hit'em with a flash."

You then see a risky option. There's a parking garage for a mall ahead. You could swap cars there, or just ditch the money and walk away from the crazy schemes. You have to have gotten at least an hour for Dervish already, even if you DO have some good ideas for what's next.

Either way, there's the immediate pursuit to worry about.

You watch as the rapid barrage quickly makes the cop lose control of the car and spin out into a pile of garbage. By the time he begins to recover, you're gone.

You drive into the parking garage and strip off your conspicuous heist gears, stowing them in bags. As the others load the gear and loot into a convenient box-van, you roll under the Ice Cream truck and remove the fuel-tank. A few doses of carefully applied gasoline destroys what little DNA evidence that might've been left behind, and the fire quickly dealt with everything else.

New ride secured, you continue onto your destination unmolested, though Danny does note that the police were flipping out over the garage that you left. He knew this because he was already erasing the security footage.

Soon you find yourself at the dealer's house, and he trades you the drugs. As you leave, Steve turns to the rest of you.

"I'm out. Seriously, it was fun, but unless we do something a lot less risky then I'm not gonna keep helping you guys."

"Dude, we're doing this for Dervish." You respond.

"I am fully aware. And I'm saying that he wouldn't tell me to rob a bank."

"You know." Danny says. "We don't have to technically break the law to do something stupid and distracting."

"Meh." Fraide responds. "Unless I'm caught with my hand in the cookie jar I'm good. Even then Frost'll just be upset with me because he hates killing witnesses."

>Plans?

>>22427678
Buy that helicopter and improvise from there.

>>22427678
Trade the coke for the chopper and start buzzing towers while blaring the theme from Top Gun through a massive stereo system?

>>22427678
Let's do the trade chain we though of earlier, we need a helicopter and to launder the money.

>>22427729
Thats both distracting and incredibly obnoxious. I like it!

Best part is we don't need the other guys for it, so they can walk away if they've gotten cold feet.

>>22427678

Here's my suggestion.

Get the helicopter, and whatever additional money we can. Settle for a less than amazing chopper.

buy as much porn as we can with the remaining funds.

Accidentally lose the porn right over the Vegas strip.

Thousands of illicit images raining down over sin city, like a fucked up pornographic snow-globe.

Plenty distracting, and not very illegal other than maybe paying a fine for littering.

"Alright, points made." You respond, thinking. "No more really dangerous stuff. We get rid of the Cocaine, and then we stick to stupid and high profile, not dangerous until further notice."

"Alright." Steve responds calmer. "We covered our tracks well enough with the bank thing?" He asks, getting into the van.

"Reasonably." Danny responds. "I'm not really sure how we could have done better, other then that part where we accidentally released all the hostages."

"Yeah." Fraide says with a laugh. "On a plus side, we did get to take an ice-cream van through a car chase. How many people get to say that?"

The four of you share a laugh as you take your stolen van full of Cocaine to buy a helicopter.

You even give the guy a sweetheart deal, securing enough additional capital to replace the van you destroyed going into the bank and several thousand dollars besides.

"So what are we gonna do now? Go home?" Danny asks.

"Nah. I got one more idea." You respond. "Though it will take all of the money we just made."

"What's the plan?"

It's almost an hour later that the four of you get arrested for accidentally dumping 'enough printed titties to blot out the sun' and have to wait for various parties to bail you out of prison.

You were, of course, smart enough not to call your wife.
