Welcome back, everybody to the Broken Lords podcast. It is I your dm
GM whatever you can always call it, Jordan. We are back with the
Rays of Neon. Where we last left our intrepid heroes, ice Pick,
Prescott, Bit Snake, Turbo and Ren Bray were all poised a little bit
annoyed because they were about fifty minutes late from the power outage. They planned
to get into the Exotic Transports made at HQ. J Bird was waiting outside,
basically waiting for the operation to start so that she can take her side
Gig to run An errand Fritz Novanaga. And when the Swat Task Force of
Corn has busted onto the scene, Exotic Transports has set there automaton definitely not
stolen from Rogue. The cop you can't sue me, Please don't don't sue
me, shoots out. There's a standoff, Midge. You're seeing all of
it. You're maybe a block or so way from it, so you get
a perfect view of everything. The Corn squad. I wish I had a
camera in a way. It's oh you have a phone, right, Oh
shit, yeah you can. You can be on listen, you can you
can throw this on Neo Twitter it's just gonna be lit. You get all
the likes. Oh next, you mean why it's no, it's neo Twitter.
Bro, it's my universe. We're not in the real world. Bro,
it's neo Twitter. What do you think the odds are that going to
Twitter still brings you to quote unquote x so x dot Com Twitter. No,
No, not in my universe. Not in my universe. I am
to reiterate that regardless I'm recording this juicy social there we go network thing,
but also informing my comrades that this is happening seems important. As you send
that, you notice that, as I mentioned earlier, that there has been
a bigger Hella presence around the corporate headquarters and looks like they were waiting for
an excuse to use the hardware, because they start swooping in. Two birds
they have like they're not huge like Apache style helicopters. They're more small,
two man things, but they do have two mini guns on each side.
Two of them start making strafing runs on the big corn swat vans with Then
you notice is that the corn what you thought with novelty corns that were on
the roofs of each van start moving articulating and then pop off as anti air
missiles and a broad A full scale battle has erupted on the streets of Neo
Flagstaff. Are you telling me the corn cobs were remote anti Yes? They
were, Yes, And that is what I'm incredible. I love and hate
it. Thank you. And Big Corn was broached to our group in session
zero. This is what I thought in my head with Big this was a
wash. Yeah, this is gonna happen no matter what. On day one,
like I just let need you to let you know the Colonel's finest.
There we go. Wow. So wait a minute, Corn squad throws a
grenade at not a robo suit armor sentinel thing. The whirlybirds come out,
the corn pops off the vans into keet seeking missiles that intercept to the helly
birds, and now just indiscriminate gunfire is going out between corn boys and the
machines. What you can also see is that the front door and like the
front like there's a poor column structure there. It's getting more reinforced. There's
no more dudes. There is now a lot more back and forth. This
is wild. The block is hot. What do you guys wanna do?
The corn is popping. I repeat, I think we just got a new
timer. I'm already in the sewers with my wet suit on, because that
was the plan. Yes, you guys were there. You guys are basically
plays to enter the building effectively. I mean, I guess you're decidedly not
in the hottest spot because you're not in the front door. That's maybe a
positive the plan. Yeah, I think we just need to accelerate everything.
Yes, I think our time frame has gone up quite a bit. At
the very least, you have a distraction. This is true. This is
a hell of a distraction. I'm distracted, all right. We're gonna do
some montage of scenes of you crawling through the ick of the Neo FLAGSAC sewage
systems. Eventually you find an access way. You can't tell exactly where,
but like what you can assume is a basement in the facility. I'll let
you guys start there. Think of like the beginning of meta your solid right.
Oh, okay, you're in the base, right, You're starting in
the base. You're at the very beginning of it. You don't quite see
anybody around you where you are. You're in basically a medium sized room,
there's an access way. From what you can tell from the schematics of the
joint that you spent an intel on that you're in the middle of a hallway.
Basically, there's like three doors down to your right, two hours down
to your left, and you know there's an elevator on this floor. Okay,
there is also an emergency claxon that is going off because you know that
whole full scale battle outside the facility. I'm going to assess the situation at
early edge that is thank you eight, So seven to nine is a marginal
success. I'm gonna read you the questions and you can ask one of them.
Okay, Okay, what is a potential complication I need to be wary
of? What do I notice it in spite of effort to conceal it that
was blank vulnerable to me? How can I avoid trouble or hide here?
What is my best weigh in out or past or kind to gain the most
advantage? Or what's the biggest threat? Who or what is in control here?
Okay, so I get to choose one of these one of those.
Yes, what's the biggest threat? What is the biggest threat? Well,
with the alarm going on, Bitsnake recognizes it as I got all hands on
deck alarm. So I guess the biggest threat currently would be running into any
of barracks people or I guess Garrison's like security here that are going to be
you know, they're gonna be up and active, probably padding toward where you're
You guys are gonna want to go the elevator because you're on a basement and
from what you know, from what Jaber told you, they're attacking the ground
for ice. Fixed thumb head pokes out underneath his wraps, So I take
it we're not going to use the elevator then. Special thanks to Toys and
