Session 133 – In Which Roni Endorses Broken Window Theory

After giving the fumes some time to dissipate the party returned, and found a nook where the creature had kept undigestibles. Amidst a heap of plastic and metal objects they found 2200cc, 6 metal statues worth 2400cc, a high speed video camera, and a janky device with two helmets connected by a length of tangled wires. The party postulates this to be a mind swapping device.

The party then took a Haven Turn, thus ending February 2521

During the Haven Turn:

NRRK was instructed to advertise the party’s services as monster hunters.

Jeb went to hang out with Ashgar the Resurrector, and build a relationship with him. In vague terms suggested that skeletons might be the ideal warriors for space battles. Discovered the skeltons are digging 7 tunnels out in every direction. Experimented with excavation portals.

Karya spent time carousing with various working class Fighting Mongoose, trying to build relationships among them.

Losco, always a dutiful student, trained his Technology skill.

During the Haven turn someone broke in and painted “TRUMPQUATIANS GO HOME!” on Losco’s robot. Losco got mad and cut off the eyelids of the night watcher who failed to spot the intruders coming over the wall. Jeb thought this was pretty fucked up, and paid Bric Shelic to give the guy new eyelids.

The party then checked in with their 2X-L Prophet Bot. They met up with it to claim 800cc of credits from its donation box, then immediately put that money into having a soup kitchen built and staffed in the area around the Prophetbot. The bot’s first proclaimation that Math is the Language of God has got a few people doing math, but many are struggling and have given up. Prophetbot’s second proclemation was made in favor of universal rights and things that are positive for everybody. It encouraged a culture of dissatisfaction with injustice, and positivity about what the future can be.

The party checked their monster board and found 3 relevant bits: still the big hairy ‘degeneration man’ bothering Technotopians. Also there was a Bike in Outsider territory that was harassing children, and an old man wandering around in Redstone Lord territory who kept talking people’s ears off and didn’t seem killable. The party decided to venture to the very edge of the dome where this hairy “degeneration man” had been spotted.

On the way they encountered a big bubble bobble ritual which they interrupted, demonstrating their own superior tech skills to shame the priests before continuing on their way.

At the edge of the dome they staked out a spot and made contact with the big hairy guy. He was pretty calm, and expressed feelings of shame at being here on Mars instead of dead back on earth in his people’s ancestral home. He also had a lot of social anxiety, and started to have a panic attack when two party members were looking at him at the same time. The party gave him spores so he could breathe out on the surface of mars, and also gave him a cell phone and asked him to report back about any plants or usable farmland he found.

Thus ended the session.
