The Howls of BSK-Sector, Paranoia the RPG

Silence accepts the help, physical activity isn't his strong suit.

Phoenix lets out a huge sigh of relief as he makes the jump, despite his lack of skill in Athletics.

"Thank Friend Computer, that was lucky...wait, HRG Sector?"

Yes, HRG sector. This has been a recording. -click-

Phoenix gulps. He didn't want to do this, but he couldn't afford to waste time. Bracing himself, he attempted to jump out of the train, using athletic ability to break his fall or at least lessen the impact with controlled rolling.

Phoenix leaps out of the train... 4,3,1,2,4

The good news is that Phoenix no longer has a headache. The bad news is he no longer has a head as he smashes, high speed, into a safety railing and various body parts get splattered over the train platform.

A hatch for a cleaning robot opens in a nearby wall. After a few minutes, an infrared citizen crawls out of the hatch and starts cleaning up the mess.

The monorail train or RFR sector pulls into the platform. Arch-R-ASI-1 steps off the train, looking for the team of troubleshooters he's been assigned to.

Arch looks around nervously. The newcomer to a seasoned pod of troubleshooters don't have a very long life expectancy in stories, so he's got to impress the team, and quick.

He looks for an info kiosk or somekind of security person to learn more about the area.

Arch sees a group of three citizens in red jumpsuits, one carrying a wooden lawn gnome, standing near where an infrared citizen is busy mopping the floor. He also sees an Info-Terminal against one wall.

You can use your internal implanted technology to try to talk with Friend Computer at any time. Info-Terminals have their own personalities. Using them is sort of like calling a Microsoft Help Line instead of dialing Bill Gates directly.

Silence looks at a Help Terminal and begins talking to it. "Hello today good Help-Terminal! We seem to be off a bit on our location and need to get to our meeting rather quickly, would you happen to know how to help us?"

Welcome to Info Terminal v3.17. How may I help you today?

Please state your clearance level: (Example: Infrared) 

You have entered 'Red'. Are you sure?

Your current location is: Monorail Platform, INN station. 

Please state your desired location:

Arch approaches the group of troubleshooters wearily.

"A-are you thre-," He eyes the lawn gnome dubiously. He knows the troubleshooting lifestyle can get wacky, but not this wacky. "f-f-four the one F-friend Computer assigned me to? Routine murder case?"

As she was team leader, Clayr figured that it would be her job to welcome the newbie. However, she first had to deal with the death of Phoenix. She quietly put her head down and mourned briefly, before approaching Arch.

"Hello!"

"H-hello?" Arch waves back, mutely. "So....?" He let the silence trails off, rather uncomfortably. He can't make himself break eye contacts with the lawn gnome, all the while feeling far too aware of the far-too-likely judging stares of his newfound companions.

I'd like to try to uses machine empathy on the lawn gnome. Just to break it in.

Bastion waves at Arch with his free hand, seemingly not noticing (or not caring about) Phoenix's untimely death. "مرحبا" He frowns, and tries again. "Hello."

-bing- Attention, citizens. A mandatory 45 seconds of silence has been scheduled for mourning the death of citizen Pheonix-R-BRN-1. The 45 seconds of silence begins... now.

This is now the end of the mandatory period of silence. You may now resume your standard, authorized conversations. -bing-

A panel in the wall slides back, revealing Phoenix-R-BRN-2.

Silence welcomes the new clone in, "Try not to die this time!"

Phoenix grumbles a bit.

"Bah, it was probably just bad luck..."

He goes and leans against the wall as he waits for their transport.

You've got about a half hour before the monorail train to BSK sector is scheduled to arrive, is there anything you all want to do in that time period?

A new... well, different monorail train pulls into this station. This train may be the oldest one still in service, with obvious welds and duct tape holding together parts that were never meant to be bodged together. Only three of the four passenger doors open, and peaking inside you can see light panels flickering and rusting metal chairs.

-click- Welcome t-t-t-t-to the monorail train to..BSK sector. Please abandon hope or other contraband before boarding. This has be a re-re-re-re-re-re-cordi... -click-

Bastion narrows his eyes and sighs, but motions lazily for everyone to follow him and gets on the monorail. He tries to pick a seat that didn't look too rickety, then sat down, his back straight and hands folded in front of him. Yotsuba occupied the seat next to him.

Silence gets on figuring going somewhere is better than going nowhere.

Phoenix decides to follow his teammates...though this time making sure which Sector they're heading to.

Bastion, Yotsuba, and Silence sit down on the least-rickety looking bench on the train.

Pheonix checks:

• Is this a monorail train? √

• Is this monorail train going to BSK sector? √

• Is BSK sector the sector the group was supposed to go after leaving INN sector? √

Finally satisfied, Pheonix climbs on board the monorail and takes a seat on the next-least-rickety bench.

Three of the doors close. The door that was previously closed clicks and springs open. There is a huge plume of smoke from the locomotive and with a mighty lurch... the monorail begins slowly moving away from the station. Anyone with one athletic success can easily hop onto the departing monorail, through the open doorway.

Clayr attempts to jump onto the train.

Clayr [[spoilers: 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5]] jumps for the train and trips, only getting halfway into the train. Her legs drag on the platform until she manages to pull herself fully on board. She is now injured and should seek medical attention.
