-sighs- And... the adventure is off the rails and Tessla has done that great no-no of roleplaying games, managed to split the party.
This is like that last mission from the Special Delivery campaign, all over again.
Look on the bright side...whatever it is. Covering more ground?
Eh, got nothing.
The Fantabulous
The sewers looked interesting! Plus, if we die you can have our clones appear with the others... I figured Tesla wanted to investigate and nit get zapped.

Well, it appears you've wandered a little ahead in my little game. -evil laughter-

Haha, fair enough. I like to test the rails in R Ps...

I'm listing salt shakes in Teslaa's inventory and chef's knife in Rocky's. Please let me know if there's any other additions or changes I need to make to the sheet.

Um, I think Teslaa was still holding Yotsuba but I'm not fussed.

What?! I've been put in a trap after all? Teslaa, you're evil.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHA.
Welcome to Paranoia. Failure to feel welcome is treason. Traitors are not welcome.
Also, you're lucky Teslaa wasn't conscious to hear what Rocky said.
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
Rocky's combat stats are high enough he might actually win against 4 regenerating shamblers. An individual shambler rolls 3d6 for any roll, but they can work together so two in concert is 6d6, three is 9d6, etc. Shamblers basicly have 4 hit points, just like individual trouble shooter clones, but they can regenerate one of those hit points each post, so you basically have to deal 4 damage in one hit or manage to do at least two damage each round for several rounds to kill them.
Oh, and if salt gets in their wounds it stops regeneration... unfortunately, Teslaa was carrying the salt.
Music time! "Wasted away again in Maragaritaville, searching for my lost..."
Congratulations to Rocky, for being the first troubleshooter this mission to earn a treason star. Treason stars only go away when your current clone dies. When you earn five or more treason stars, your fellow trouble shooters can earn XP by killing you.

This game is bizarre...
"In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war."
Yes. Yes it is. The real questions are: 1) Are you enjoying the game? 2) Have you tried new flavor Bouncy Bubbly Beverage yet?
Basically, to enjoy my games, you have to embrace the madness. Rocky, you managed to kill two of the four zombies, which really impressed me. You weren't even supposed to run into any of the zombies until after you all had your interview with Trace-Y-DCK.
Bull-O-CKK is playing bad cop, except he's not playing. He really does think you're all guilty and isn't afraid to break kneecaps or heads to get you to confess.
Trace-Y-DCK won't necessarily be the good cop, but if he makes you any offers you should listen to them. While Trace has seen just as much darkness and corruption as Bull has, Trace is a bit less of a soiled paladin then Bull is. The names are kind of clues about their personalities, if you know what comics they both come from.

Nodrog, my ass still got kicked, but oh well...
"In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war."
Rocky, your ass was SUPPOSED to get kicked. I sent 4 zombies for you and Teslaa, and I would have either sent in a wave of riot cops or more zombies if you'd somehow managed to beat all 4. In your loss, you learned something: The zombies exist and they regenerate. Also, if you tell your teammates about them, they won't risk as much sanity loss as you did, facing them unwarned.
Plus, how cool is it that you're the police number one suspect for the Chez Henri disaster?
First: YAY, POST #100!
Next, it's time to divide up team roles. Do you want to go with what I picked (which is the order of names in the spreadsheet. I was lazy) or do you want a different role? Remember, at the end of the mission, Friend Computer will be judging you just not on how well your team did, not how well you did, but also on how well you did your assigned role. So if you're sanitation, make sure you picked up any litter and encouraged everyone to wash their hands before going into the sewer.
Eh...the irony of being SCIENCE officer when Fenix's specialty is the Arcane.
''Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.'' - Clarke's Third Law
Science Officer may be the perfect spot for you. Just remember Friend Computer really, REALLY doesn't want to believe that magic is possible and is willing to swallow any story that means it doesn't have to. Wave a box of blinky lights around, announce that 'background dark energy wave particles' say such-and-such, and you're halfway done.
Thinking of Friend Computer, I'm really REALLY tempted to ask him if he's heard of George Orwell's 1984, just for a laugh. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

I wouldn't recommend it, unless you want to see what an AI Computer panic attack looks like and are getting tired of being the only team member on his or her first/original body.
I also figured Paranoia the RPG is the sequel to Dr. Stranelove.
I just realized something...
No one has any points in Demolition!
The Fantabulous
Exploding things isn't really an issue in Alpha Complex - it's harder to stop things from exploding. If you ask Friend Computer about 1984 I will give you a cookie.
Also, I am oddly ok with this being the aftermath of Dr. Strangelove. We'll meet again. Don't know when, don't know when!

2nd in command?! I barely know how the story even works.
