Just a Passing Assassin...

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

 Spiral: Guess I like to think of myself as someone who tries to do good in the world. Got a big hammer and if there’s something that need Smashing? I smash.

Spiral: Wouldn’t want to do anything to hurt you or your town. Stuff’s complex but you have to do your best you know?



Cabinetta: I get that.. I do genuinely appreciate everyone’s offer.

Cabinetta: I suppose it was silly to worry, people with secrets often leave me oh so worried but…

Cabinetta: Everyone is allowed them. You seem very honest to me, and your friends seem like good info.



Cabinetta: For now I trust you. Hopefully this will be the first of many meetings together…

She catches herself staring a little too long.

Cabinetta: Sorry... Anyway..



Spiral: Heh... On a side note, do you have contact info? I wanna keep in touch since uh...

Spiral: I come from so far away… I'd be hard to visit all the time while traveling.

Cabinetta: I do! I’d like that.

Cabinetta: I’ll make sure to give it to you before you all have to leave regardless of what happens. It’d be nice to have more friends to call.

Spiral: Nice! Also uh… less related.

Spiral: And this is silly sounding but um…Think we can finish the game before leaving or fighting the monster? Been a long time since I’ve played stuff like that…

Cabinetta: It’s a bit long and we have much prepwork but… if you were to stick around or visit we certainly can! There’s a sequel coming out soon so…

Spiral: I can work with that. Actually um…

Spiral: Mind if I stick a knife in your wonderfully constructed wall? It’ll let me come back here. It's magic or something.



You flash your dagger.

Cabinetta: I’d prefer if you didn't stab the wall specifically but I could find a good spot for it.

Cabinetta: I do have something to present actually… I feel you know more about what this is.

She pulls out a small radio from her pockets. It’s recognizable as similar in material and texture to many of the devices back at your base.

Cabinetta: Your friend had it on them. Perhaps you can make use of it?

You take it in hand. It starts making noise immediately.

A familiar voice comes out.




4D: Seems we’ve made contact. Data says you’ve scanned for um…

4D: The new person, Spiral was it?

4D: Are you there?

You’re startled a little.

Spiral: I’m here! Is there a camera…?

4D: No, it just read your biometrics.

Cabinetta watches quietly, not sure whether to interrupt or not.



4D: Speaking of, seems you’ve scanned a fiend! Wonderful!

4D: And… a rabbit? Odd. Is that Steady? She keeps taking people with her on jobs to get around the rules...

4D: Data currently downloading and uh… in the system! Isn't technology swell?

4D: Anyway glad we’ve got contact with you again, you seemingly went MIA as soon as you entered the area…

4D: Is everyone else okay? Sorry, admittedly giddy to finally have contact again!

Spiral: Mm. We're good.

4D: Excellent! Anyway brief overview.

4D: Your collected data is that of a Fiendish Spider and a modified custom mammal. Precise perk extraction is lacking at the moment but you’ve gained access to a few options for modification that we can send over.

4D: Body Type “Fiend Spider” and Body Type “Custom 1938” are available. It’ll be effectively a slightly modified copy of your scans to apply your current modifications.

4D: More specific modifications will take time to fully extract but we got a few easy ones if you’re interested.

4D:  “Organic Webbing” and “Vampiric healing” from the fiend scan.

4D: “Probability Modifier” and “Rubberhose Build” from the custom.

4D: Anyway I could have any of these mods sent out soon if you’re interested.

4D: But uh.. Proper status report? Details? Important questions on the mission? We’ve got quite a bit to catch up on. Perhaps confirmation on everyone else as well?

4D: It’s a lot to take in for a first day so If you need me to slow down, do tell!
