* ChanServ sets mode: +o _____
* _____ is now known as Rocky-R-OAD
<The_Computer> Are we ready?
<Rocky-R-OAD> Anything the Computer requests!
<The_Computer> I can't heaarr you!
* Alcar is now known as AlcarGM
<Rocky-R-OAD> Yes, O Computer!
<Rocky-R-OAD> What are your wishes?
<The_Computer> You will have fun. THe Computer says so. We will begin. Now.
<AlcarGM> You awaken in your creche room, all red and neat and tidy, ready to face the day for CPU, to boldly manage the citizxens, to inovate new ideas to root out commie traitors and pefect GARPs and metrices! The Computer's cheeful, friendly voice leads you though the usual morning ...
<AlcarGM> you're Wakey-Wakey pills, exercise to The Computer's cheerful "Now you've got it! 1, 2, 3, 4, jump on jack, the commie traitor! 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, No sinners get out of here alive! 7, 8, Who Do you appreiciate? , 9, 10, who is your friend?" *The voice from the loud speakers pauses, waiting.* One of the co-axial lasers in your room tracks you.
<Rocky-R-OAD> The computer! The computer!
<Rocky-R-OAD> Yay!
* Rocky-R-OAD jumps excitedly
<AlcarGM> You finish all warmed up, awake, and ready for the day - you're first say as a Troubleshooter! You're primed, you're punmped, you've screwed the red laser barrel on your laser, donned your new red clothing - no more lowly infared black for you, not thanks to Your Friend! All all you had to do was report that commie tratior George-B-USH for falsing pretending he had forms he didn't have!
<AlcarGM> And, to complete this glorious morning, you get a voice message from The Computer, just for you! And on your first day!
<The_Computer> ALERT! A LERT! A LERT HAS BEEN SIGHTED IN SECTOR REH! Report to briefing room 007 immediately. This mission is classified to secret for [deleted for security reasons]. Thank you for your cooperation and have a most wonderful daycycle! Your Friend.
<Rocky-R-OAD> "A mission! I will make my friend The Computer proud!"
* Rocky-R-OAD stands up, throws his shoulders back, and heads for briefing room 007 immediately
<AlcarGM> Where is briefing room 007?
<Rocky-R-OAD> I don't know?
<AlcarGM> Nope. You have no idea. It could be in this sector. Or any other.
<Rocky-R-OAD> Do I have any way of conveniently finding out?
<AlcarGM> You can always ask The Computer. Your Friend is here to serve you!
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Oh great Computer! Where can I find room 007, that I may RAIN YOUR JUSTICE DOWN UPON THOSE WHO ARE NOT FAVORED IN YOUR EYES, IN YOUR GREAT AND GLORIOUS NAME?"
<The_Computer> "What is your security clearance?"
* Rocky-R-OAD fingers his laser pistol unconsciously
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Red!"
<The_Computer> "That information is not available to your clearance. Please proceed to briefing room 007."
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Immediately!"
* Rocky-R-OAD leaves his room
<AlcarGM> The grey hallway outside your quarters is available to all citizens and you exit to see some scrubots diligently cleaning the floors and walls. Many infareds are going about to their duties, looking happy. Everyone is happy. To not be happy is a Sin. 5 mblue trobleshooters walking the hall with laser pistols helps, too!
<AlcarGM> (( Oh, yeah, and everyone has to obey all citixens of a higher rank than them .. to do otherwise is sinful to Him - your superiours were picked by Him in His Infinite Wisdom. ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( well fuck ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Excuse me, sir!" (to the nearest blue troubleshooter)
<AlcarGM> The hallway leads towards two elevators, one red and one blue. As a red citizen, you can only use red ones, or lower (black) oir for anyone (grey) ... or bluff your way into restricted areas :)
<AlcarGM> The big, blond-haired, blue eyed man in the blue suit fingers his blue gun and looks at you. "Whaddya want?"
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Our Friend, The Computer, in its Infinite Wisdom, has commanded that I report immediately to briefing room 007! I need your help so that the wishes of The Computer may be fulfilled!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> "I know that you must be a great and loyal friend of the computer, to be so graced by him!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( can I roll boot-licking? ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( how do I do that? ))
<AlcarGM> (( sure :p ))
<AlcarGM> (( d20 :) ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> 1d20
<The_Computer> Rocky-R-OAD 1d20: 5
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( I have a 5 in it ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( is that good? :P ))
<AlcarGM> Feeling-B-LUE looks at you , then grunts. "You never said what you wanted," but he does stop stroking his gun
<Rocky-R-OAD> "I am not cleared to know where briefing room 007 is, so I need someone to take me there, blindfolded!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol ))
<AlcarGM> Feeling-B-LUe says "Friend Computer, where is briefing room 007?"
<The_Computer> "For which mission, please?"
<AlcarGM> Feeling-B_LUE looks at you. "What mission, Red?"
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( is he cleared for secret information? ))
<AlcarGM> (( no :p ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( i.e. is it ok for me to tell him? ))
<AlcarGM> (( or if he is, you don't know :) ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> "I'm sorry, but you aren't cleared for that information."
<AlcarGM> Feeling-B_LUE barks "What is your name?"
<Rocky-R-OAD> Rocky-R-OAD
<AlcarGM> Feeling-B_LUE: "For the mission of Rocky-R-OAD, Computer."
* Rocky-R-OAD keeps a lookout for any commies
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( they're everywhere, after all! ))
<The_Computer> "How do you know Rocky-R-OAD is on a mission?"
<AlcarGM> Feeling-B_LUE begins to sweat and smile, happily. "Because if he wasn't, you would not have promoted him!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol ))
<The_Computer> "Very well. Security clearance is Yellow. Briefing room 007 is in REH section."
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( so I have to get promoted to yellow really quickly, don't I! ))
<AlcarGM> One of the other Blues draws his weapon. "You were not cleared to know that information, citizen!"
<AlcarGM> What do you do?
<Rocky-R-OAD> "What information?" *plays dumb*
* Rocky-R-OAD acts as if he was too busy looking for commies to be listening
<AlcarGM> Feeling-B-LUE points his laser at you! "What information did you not here?"
<Rocky-R-OAD> "I didn't hear anything after you began inquiring of the computer! I was trusting that you, being favored of the computer, would take care of matters!"
<AlcarGM> Big-B-ANG begins shooting the infareds in the hall, for violating their security clearances.
<Rocky-R-OAD> "I was busy looking for commies and traitors, and those who might threaten Our Friend The Computer!"
* Rocky-R-OAD joins in fervently
<Rocky-R-OAD> "For the Computer!"
<AlcarGM> Feeling-B-LUE nods. "Very good, citizen!" He gestures to a third blue. "Take him to Room 007 immediately!"
<AlcarGM> The third blue is unarmed, shockingly, and smiles at you in a friendly, warm fashion, hsi voice even more mellow that Your Friends, if that was not treasonous. "Certainly. Come with me, please."
* Rocky-R-OAD follows obediently
<AlcarGM> The third blue takes you pass the smoking black boots of various infareds. A jackbot has arrived and is painting the hall Red, instead of removing the blood stains.
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol ))
<AlcarGM> The blue takes you to the red elevator, and enters it, then presses "0" for the floor. The elevator shudders and begins to move sideways, the decides to go down with a lurch - agility check!
<Rocky-R-OAD> 1d20
<The_Computer> Rocky-R-OAD 1d20: 3
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( w00t ))
<AlcarGM> You keep your balance easily. The blue barely notices it and stands calmly. After a moment, the elevator stops, and goes up to floor 0. Music begins to play from the elevator as it rises, slow and droning and unlike anything you've heard, grating on your mind and making you irritated, and tired.....
* Rocky-R-OAD slaps himself in the face to keep himself awake
<AlcarGM> The Blue frowns, then says "Satanic Commies!" andbegins to sing to counter it, his voice bright and pure like a dove's, if you knew what was one, and if you could kow that and not be executed for treadson. It sound a lot like the popuplar children's show Eunuchs-R-USS.
<AlcarGM> The elevator stops a good minute later and the blue stops singing, looking smug. The elevator doors open.
* Rocky-R-OAD looks very impressed
<The_Computer> "ATTENTION ALL CITIZENS! All infared loyal followers of Our Gloriousness are hereby ordered to move 3 sectors up. It has come to our attention that many accidents occur within 1 kilometer of the creche, and to prevent it, everyone will move over the next daycycles."
<AlcarGM> Christis-B-ORN asks you to follow him,and heads down a Red hallway.
* Rocky-R-OAD follows
<AlcarGM> You hear a strange sound uphead and notice that there is a hole in the wall, with some odd .... brown .. thing .. sticking out of it, and water pouring from it into the hallway
<AlcarGM> (( triangle shape, roughly, and ripped apart. A lot of odd voices, in accents you don't understand, are shouting behind the wall ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( what's the blue d00d doing? does he notice? ))
<AlcarGM> Christis-B-ORN points to a door and says "There is room 007, just past the disturbance," in a gentle, loving voice.
<AlcarGM> The wall shudders and water breaks free, gushing towards the two of you!
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Thank you for your help, sir!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Aaaaaaaaaah!"
<AlcarGM> Christis-B-ORN lifts up his hands and it moves around you, moving to the walls as if it was being parted. For a moment, his face seems to glow!
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( O_o ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( mutant power? ))
<AlcarGM> Christis-B-ORN parts the water, which rages through the gaping hole and down into the elevator shaft.
<AlcarGM> (( definitely :p ))
<AlcarGM> What are you doing?
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( is he registered? ))
<AlcarGM> (( nope, all registered mutant have a yellow/black armband ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol, this game is evil! ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( what sort of chances would a red d00d have against a blue d00d in combat? ))
<AlcarGM> (( You're asking if defeating a tainted mutie wouldn't be worth dying for?! ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( He'll be back as Christis-R-ISN anyway ))
<aslhk> ((lol))
* Rocky-R-OAD pulls out his laser and starts shooting
<Rocky-R-OAD> "DIE MUTANT SCUM! IN THE NAME OF THE COMPUTER!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( good point :P ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( forgot this wasn't amber for a sec :P ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( was like: How can I use this to my advantage... ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( :P ))
<AlcarGM> christis-B-ORN looks back, startled, but he's right beside you, and unarmed! You fire and his face explodes in a shower of blood -- good thing you wear Red, isn't it?"
<AlcarGM> The remaining water crashes back down but is only kneee deep. The brown wedge rips through more of the wall, going through through the hallway and into the other all in front of you with a low, grinding noise eerily reminiscent of the commie music on the elevator. From inside it you hear screams and the middle of it explodes in a shower of brown panels that break apart with alarming ease from the other side.
* Rocky-R-OAD shoots at the brown thing
<Rocky-R-OAD> "YAAAAAAAAAAA!"
<AlcarGM> A man is standing in front of you with an enormous primitive stick in his hand .. he's wearing brown clearanc clothing which you've never heard of around his Private Areas and is otherwise stark nake,d with long black hair ad wild blue eyes! He moves faste,r for a demon, and blocks your blast! His stick begins to melt and he drops it with a cry of fear!
* Retrieving #paranoia info...
* Rocky-R-OAD shoots him
<Rocky-R-OAD> "DIE COMMIE DEMON!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( wow, this is easy to RP! :P ))
<AlcarGM> You shoot him right between the eyes! He drops with a croaking sound but from behind him more demons, dressed in browns and greys, with strange clothing like cloaks, but the cloaks seem to have eyes and arms, even though thye don;t move, begin to pour out. One of them shouts "Vinland ivours!"
<AlcarGM> They're all holding sharp sticks and look angry at you
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( how many of them are there? ))
<AlcarGM> (( at least 10 ))
* Rocky-R-OAD shoots them all
<AlcarGM> the first reaches you as you're counting numbers, wading through water and swings, scratching your new armour!
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Damaging the property of the Computer is treason! Die!"
<AlcarGM> The others swarm you as youshot him .. He staggers back in shock
<AlcarGM> Two others push past, swinging mightily with their sticks, but you're no commie traitor and evade them easily!
* Rocky-R-OAD screams menacingly at them, and continues to mow them down in the name of the Computer
<AlcarGM> The two of them dodgre and one swings, cutting into your arm with his sharp, pointy stick. You stumble in pain and they attakc again, but by the grace of Your Friend, you evade!
<AlcarGM> The four savage demons behind them are holding other weapons, made of the same brown sunstance as their strange contraption
<AlcarGM> http://www.geocities.com/alternity1/paranoia/weapon1.jpg

weapon1
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> "I WILL NOT RETREAT!"
<AlcarGM> Then they stop! And from inside the .. vehicle? creature? weapon? Another stands out, as big as a vulture warrior, as menacing as a giant dungeon mutant - armed with a big, sharp pointy metal bit! The others step aside, leaving you to their obvious leader.
<AlcarGM> http://www.geocities.com/alternity1/paranoia/evil1.jpg

evil1
* Rocky-R-OAD levels his laser at the mutant
<AlcarGM> They begin to chant slowly "C-O-NAN! C-O-NAN!" over and over, beating their hands together , but, stangely, he has no sign of orange clearance on him!
* Rocky-R-OAD narrows his eyes
<AlcarGM> The mutant glares at you intently and moves towards you, his weapon aimed to draw blood!
* Rocky-R-OAD fires
<Rocky-R-OAD> "DIE!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> !pdamage 8
<The_Computer> You rolled 14 and got: Wound
<AlcarGM> (( is doing the rolls in msg :p And it wasn't 8, he's got Macho bonus! ))
<AlcarGM> (( err, and lots of it :) ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( ah! ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( scary! ))
<AlcarGM> The man leaps into the water and shrugs off your blast as if it didn't even hurt him, swinging his mighty weapon!
* Rocky-R-OAD backs away quickly, still keeping his laser trained on the man
<AlcarGM> It rips into your armour but you leap pack and it doesn't penetratre your skin!
<AlcarGM> The man laughs, a deep, belly laugh and smiles with blindingly fresh white teeth!
<AlcarGM> He's still coming, and shows no sign of stopping!
* Rocky-R-OAD fires again
* Rocky-R-OAD is starting to get nervous
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( this man is obviously a mutant with some sort of dermal armor or somesuch ))
<AlcarGM> He bellows somehting about "Califo-R-NIA," and shrugs off the blow, a mighty, vengeful gleam in his eyes! His weapon swings with a mighty theewed fist, and bypassing your AC of -3 and his +7 to hit ....
<AlcarGM> uh, wrong game.
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol ))
<AlcarGM> He bellows somehting about "Califo-R-NIA," and shrugs off the blow, a mighty, vengeful gleam in his eyes! His weapon swings with a mighty blow and Rocky-R-OAD-2 is activated in aactivated, told to ge tot brieifing room 007, and shot through the ventilation system of Alpha Complex to come to a dizzy halt with his face planted in a grating and listneing to the chanting of commies in water below him!
<AlcarGM> A mighty thewed man is bellowing about "Dav-I-SSS!" and "racing" accompanied by other savages who are approaching the closed elevastor doors with caution.
<AlcarGM> None of them have seen our intrepid troubleshooter above them trying to stop seeing 3 of everything and really glad he didn't eat during his very quick briefing
* Rocky-R-OAD crawls forward, trying to see if the ventilation system leads to room 007
<AlcarGM> It ends right above the, you can look down and see them below you.
<AlcarGM> One oft them, called C-O-NAN by the others, is striking the elevator door with a long metal stick and bellowing "CROM!" repeatedly when it fails to open! Other commies must have sabotaged it against these commies!
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( do I remember what happened before i died? ))
<AlcarGM> (( nope. ))
<AlcarGM> But C-O-NAN's sword is bloody and no scrubot has come to clear away your body, which is quite a sight, except for the head, which is missing and under water
<Rocky-R-OAD> Hm
<AlcarGM> C-O-NAN strikes the elevator again in fury! "CROM!" But the loyal Alpha Complex machinery does not nbow to his satanic wiles and he returns to the strange brown wedge with the men, screaming in fury at them.
<Rocky-R-OAD> I'll open the grate and drop to the floor, and run for the nearest door, then
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( is there any way for me to lock doors? ))
<AlcarGM> (( yep. ))
<AlcarGM> Ok, you drop down to the flor amid cries of "Hel!" and "Drow!" and "vista, Baby!" but none of their sanatic cries can deter you!
* Rocky-R-OAD will fire a couple of shots at them, then go through the door, and lock it behind him
<AlcarGM> You leap into an empty room and close the door even as the hordes charge and begin battering it futilely form the other side
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( that works, too ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( heh ))
<AlcarGM> if your wild shots hit, you don't hear screams of pain above their changing. C-O-NAN is now screaming "Goveren-O-RRR!" in as strange, eerie wail
<AlcarGM> You're in an empty briefing room with a metal desk, 2 chairs, and nothing else.
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol ))
<The_Computer> "Rocky-R-OAD-2, Please report to briefing room 007 at once. Repeat, pleae report to briefing room 007 at once."
* Rocky-R-OAD sits down
<Rocky-R-OAD> "I am here, friend Computer!"
<AlcarGM> After a minute, you hear the commies leaving
<AlcarGM> A camera swivels in the ceiling.
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( er, wait, I don't know this is briefing room 007 ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( *confused* ))
<AlcarGM> (( ROFL. ))
<AlcarGM> (( yea, thats part of the fun :p ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( *makes a mental note not to die again* ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Computer, where is briefing room 007?"
<The_Computer> "You are not authorized for that information. According to Chocolat-B-ARR, you are not there. Please explain, in 30 words or less, why you think you are."
<AlcarGM> A laser in the ceiling swivels towards Rocky-R-OAD-2.
<Rocky-R-OAD> "I am here because I am trying to fulfill the orders of my friend the Computer!"
<The_Computer> "You are not in briefing room 007, my friend. Let he who is without sin fire the first laser."
<Rocky-R-OAD> "Where must I go to reach this room, oh Computer?"
<The_Computer> "SA:LE IN MACYS! REPEAT, SALE IN MACYS! 20% OFF ALL MENS LINGERIE! ALL TROUBLESHOOTERS REPORT TO SECTOR SXY TO BE OUTFITTED!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( are there any other exits from the room? ))
<AlcarGM> (( nope ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( no wonder everyone is crazy in this game :P ))
* Rocky-R-OAD opens the door a crack, and peeks out
<AlcarGM> But in it's eternal benevolence and friendship, The Savior of Alpha and Enemy of Omega and Autobot Supreme provides you with a map!
<AlcarGM> http://www.geocities.com/alternity1/paranoia/map1.gif

map of moscow subway system
<AlcarGM> Outside The commies seem to have broken through to the otherside of the hall through their ingenious weapon! You hear screams, and tratiors "But I'm not Dav-I-SSS! AH! PLEASE NOOOO!"
<AlcarGM> The sound ends with a wet, squishy noise.
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( awesome! ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( do I have any idea what the map means? ))
<AlcarGM> (( not at all :p ANd if you did, reading Russian is Commie knowledge :p ))
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol ))
* Rocky-R-OAD sets the map on the table, and ventures into the hallway
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( what all is in the hallway? ))
<AlcarGM> Your dead body, 3 dead commies, puddles of water, and the brown wege with a hole right through it. And the closed eletavor\
<The_Computer> Inspirational lyrics fill the air. "Every gun is sacred, every gun is grand! For every shot that's wasted, PLC gets quite irate! Let the heathen fire theres let their screams resound only trouble shooters marks have always their aim found. Every clone is wanted, every clone is good, every clone is needed, in your crechebood!"
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( no other doorways ))
<AlcarGM> (( nope :( ))
<AlcarGM> You could go through the commie brown contraption, but they're on the other side
<Rocky-R-OAD> Can I get to the elevator?
<AlcarGM> The elevator opens with a low hiss, accompanied by sparks and a single scrubot rolls out and begins industriosly cleaning the floor.
<AlcarGM> The elevator remains open, making a low, groaning noise and small tinkling sounds.
<AlcarGM> the scrubot begins vaccuming up water
* Rocky-R-OAD heads to the elevator
<Rocky-R-OAD> quickly
<The_Computer> Inspirational lyrics "Every citizen is sacred, every citgizen is good, every loyal one is needed, in your crechehood! Every clone is sacred, Every cone is great, if a Clone is wasted, Your Friend gets quite irate!"
<AlcarGM> You enter the elevator, which begins moving down all on it's own.
<AlcarGM> d20
<The_Computer> AlcarGM d20: 16
<AlcarGM> Agility check, please.
<Rocky-R-OAD> 1d20
<The_Computer> Rocky-R-OAD 1d20: 2
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( *flex* ))
<The_Computer> "Special preview of HPD&MC 'Commie Invasion' In Briefing room 007 for all Violet citizens."
<AlcarGM> You manage to keep your balance as the elevator falls, giving you time to hear ,,
<The_Computer> "Special preview of HPD&MC 'Commie Invasion' In Briefing room 007 for all Violet citizens."
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( lol ))
<The_Computer> Ignore my previous post. I do not make errors.
<Rocky-R-OAD> (( of course not! ))
<AlcarGM> And Rocky-R-OAD-3 is sent to Macy's to be outfitted!
