@all as you arrive to the lobby you discover that the viewers appear to either be dead or in some comma, they do not respond at all to you. There are small puddles of blood that you can now notice near many of the chairs. You feel an uneasy feeling and then suddenly one of the people seem to wake up. He seems very pale, and as he get up you can see that he was cut in multiple places. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" He say in a voice that could not possibly come from his body. It is too strong, too loud and seems to come from every direction at once.

Papa Ratzy had chosen a slightly different path in from the first two, It wasn't uncommon for him to do something like this, just in case if he was hacked, the enemy would know less of the team he was with. That, and his working with the image files to help blur out faces, and other details that were too personal to show on RATS, and would get in the way of the awesomesauce of the show.

He'd soon now be coming up with the rest of the team, filming the confrontation on his camera, attempting to remain largely a part of the background, rather than an actor.

A little spooked and unsure of what to say.  Hearing the question coming from multiple sides all at once didn't help either.  The thought that he's talking to a revenant dawns on Maxwell after awhile.  "No way that guy is still alive and speaking to me.  He has to be some sort of undead."  A fire burns in Maxwell's heart and he boldly says:  "Tell me, are you one of the risen dead?"

@Serge - the pale bodies look to have many cuts. They seem to have been drained of their blood. Your man is not one of them. However, You find out that one of the bodies is nothing but a plastic manikin. You carefully examine it and discover a small bottom embedded in one of the ears.

@Maxwell - He gives you no reply he just seats there and look at you. Eventually saying in is obviously too loud voice "WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

@Papa - you easily sneak past the drones and continue filming the two heroes in their visit to the school. Years of practice tell you that your movie can be as big as the Blair witch project.

Maxwell breaks out a hacking cough as he ponders the proper question to ask.  He resumes in a hoarse voice asking:  "I want to know who and what you are."

[All4BigGuns]

This could be unwise Serge thinks to himself as he notices the button behind one of the ears, but suspecting that no one else on the team can figure out what it does otherwise, he presses it before stepping well back away from the dummy in case it's tied to an explosive device.

Could be watching too many trids, but better safe than sorry.

@Serge - You feel excruciating pain as 3000V of electricity makes their way through your body. A small AR overlay popup 'fingerprint not identified, this incident will be reported'


@Serge - you take 9S -5 AP damage.
Papa Ratzy has the hardware skill by the way. He is now in the very room playing camera man.


@Maxwell - He say "I am a smart system "Smart-house Tm" - a secure home system my software version is 1-alpha and I am copyrighted to M- Systems until 2012.  WHO ARE YOU?"

"Was hoping it was a zombie.  Why couldn't it have been a zombie?"  With a bored and uninterested tone, Maxwell replies:  "My name's Sovereign.  And who built you?"

[Triskavanski]

Papa Ratzy grins behind his mask, cautiously taking a step back, while adjusting the zoom on his camera. This was going to be gold, well sort of. It brings a lot of questions in all honesty.

Decided to make a bit of documentary commentary, "And here we see a runner meeting with the most perplexing of situations. A bunch of bloodless bodies and a talking zombie android thing.. Just what could be happening. Little did they know.."

[All4BigGuns]

Dragging the dummy with the button behind the ear over to the team's newcomer, Serge points the button out and says, "What do you make of this? Other than the nasty shock it can give, of course."

[Triskavanski]

Papa blinks. This isn't how this is suppose to work, are they guys noobs or something? He's suppose to film them doing awesomething, not have them come to him for answers while they're in the middle of doing the awesome things.

That was what the A in R.A.T.S. stood for. Awesome. But well, perhaps, this manican would have really awesome things with it?

"It shocked you? Well, you know what that means right?" he starts off. "Clearly its hiding things. Perhaps the Treasure of One Eyed Willy, a dreadful pirate long ago. Most likely not.. But no one puts a shocky thing on a sex doll."

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell turns around to see who Serge is talking about.  To Maxwell's surprise he sees that wacko from before and blurts out:  "Holy dumb fuck, when did you get here!  That cosplay costume of yours must really work."

[gilga]

"Was hoping it was a zombie.  Why couldn't it have been a zombie?"  With a bored and uninterested tone, Maxwell replies:  "My name's Sovereign.  And who built you?"

The 'Zombie' answer "I am copyrighted to M-Systems until 2012. Why are you here?"

[Mulcarn]

@"Zombie" - Maxwell clears his throat and says:  "We are here to pick up a guy named Mango and to fight monsters."
