Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Salvatore Squeaks had found himself in Wheaton quite possibility due to his love of cheddar. Acquiring as much cheese was one of his life’s primary goals and helping folks out seemed to be one of the easiest ways to get paid. It did not always happen and that was fine. Life usually had a way of dumping a stinky tasty treat into his rat mouth as long as he was lending a helping clawed hand. So imagine his delight that some real life heroes landed in front of him and one even had the consideration to land her Power Armor right on top of him! What luck indeed.
Sal squeaked out in proper English that had been trained into him at a secret Coalition complex, ” Why, I do declare you have a mighty big foot there. Would you mind possibly if it warranted your further consideration removing it slightly...” He paused trying to suck in enough air against the wonderful feeling of being crushed by such a magnanimous foot. He whispered finishing, ” I am afraid the weight though glorious... Is... To much to bear...”
As a note Sal wore a patched slapdash and technowizard’d field mechanic suit of armor resembling something being held together with copper wiring and lots of prayer. Then rolled in a smattering of technowizard crystals. He had a dirty cloak that hid well with the shadows and a set of ruby band sun shades on top of his decidedly rat faced head.

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Notice 2, Streetwise 2
"Oww, that didn't feel like it went well." Their abrupt and unceremonious arrival in Wheaton is a sure sign something went wrong. "Damn, I hope they got clear of those Xiticix."
L.C. blinks as he clears his head and rises. A glance at the tablet tells him volumes of what they actually achieved. "How long have we been gone? Umm, as for where we went, it wasn't some place I'm eager to return. We got out, we saved all we could, and that is what matters. I'm glad things have worked out. Have you seen our teammates?"pink skinned girl and Chaza, the blue skinned girl wrote:Each of you comes too laying in the arrival yard with a couple of young looking pink and blue skinned women trying to examine you. "Are you alright? You phased in, but there was a high pitched screaming, or squeaking sound and you looked like you were really messed up."
Suddenly the pink skinned girls face begins turning white. "Chaza, do you know who these are? These are those 99 people all over the news."
The blue skinned girl starts looking over your faces and pulls out her data pad. Pulling up some images of each of you from various security cameras around the city she looks amazed. "How did you get here? Where have you been, the kids, the juicer, they all said you were sucked into hell?"
He looks over at Maggie. "Hey Mags, you're on a mutant rat....techno-wizard? That's strange. I didn't even know they could use magic. Cool." Some others might think he's a ratling from the Palladium World, but to L.C.'s C.S. educated mind, it's obvious he's a mutant rat.

”Whoa! Sorry! Sorry!” Maggie moves off of the rodent wizard with an undignified hop that is, truth be told, kind of amusing to watch in a Glitter Boy. ”Are you okay?”
Zooming in on the tablet she lets out a low whistle. ”Looks like you guys are famous.”

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Sal’s nose twitches slightly now that he could breathe. I don’t smell cheese on them... But one of them seems familiar. He eyes L.C. a bit more carefully than the others.
After a quick internal struggle which consisted of a bit a twitch of the nose he was firmly decided to see if he could help the adventuring group. He made a direct plea to the entire group but especially @Maggie and L.C. ” I am as you may have fathomed a techno wizard of limited ability. If you were in need of any services I can see if my meager abilities might be of use.”
Sal’s first day
He adjusts his poorly made TW’d suit of mechanics armor makes a long sweeping bow. Which might look funny because he probably barely made it to the knee of the PA. His voice betrayed the perfect english drilled into him by his former masters, ”It was my fault oh brave and valliant hero for having the gall to be underfoot at the time of your arrival. If it pleases you I would love very much so to meet your aquantiance. My name is Salvatore Squeaks, but in a crunch Sal will do.” He pauses twitching his nose wondering how much cheddar cheese he might be able to find with this group instead of working for the local cheese monger. Probably a bit more, and besides they might help people in need who have lots of cheese!

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Sal’s eyes went wide seeing Leethe. Remember Sal, no longer in the CS... Remember. He even took a reflexive step back brefore remembering his manners, ”Ah... Pleasure to meet you Leethe. If you don’t mind me saying, and its ok if you do. Your hair and sun glasses don’t seem from around here. Not that I am particularly curious or anything and I of course can mind my business...” His voice trailed off as he realized he was staring and possibly alienating himself from some real heroes. He sighed muttering beneath his breath wishfully thinking, ”I need some cheddar.”

Fritz Schumacher stepped out from a local shop holding a half pound of white cheddar cheese. Having missed the the 99th's arrival he was a bit taken back and turns to look at his surroundings. "Hey @Sal when did these guys show up?"
Walking up to the team, he looks closely at Sal, "You look like something large and heavy sat on you." Looking up and into the sun, Fritz realizes there is a Glitter Boy suit standing there all glistening and pretty.
"One minute you are hunting for cheese and the next its raining power armors and combat teams."
Kneeling down by Sal but away from @Leethe, Fritz hands Sal the block of cheese and actually produces a sizeable platter for it to rest on. While Sal eats, Fritz tries to straighten out the wrinkles in Sal's clothes.

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Fritz not now... The heroes are watching. Sal scrunched his eyes while Fritz was fussing with him. Maybe it was because Fritz had a hand in making Sal or that the two escaped Lonestar together, but Fritz always seemed to be on hand with cheese and a bit of TLC. A bit of drool slipped out as the cheese scent hit his nose. Resigned to what amounted to barbaric grooming Sal munched on the offered cheddar and said with proper diction while eating around a big hunk, ” Fritz as I live and breathe thank you kindly good sir for the cheese. Mmmm... So tastly. The heroes arrived in a most spectacular fashion. A rift one second and all the heroes the next. It was amazing. The big Glitterboy was even so kind to let me break its fall.”Fritz wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 2:53 pm Fritz Schumacher stepped out from a local shop holding a half pound of white cheddar cheese.

"I am sure @Sal will tell me about your heroics. Are they anything like those colored paper leaflets, you told me Mallory brought for you to learn to read. What were those names again?"
While still primping and straightening Sal's outfit, another right hand extends to anyone willing to shake it. "I am Doctor Fritz Schumacher. Formerly of the CS and recently self liberated with the help of Sal, here."
Another hand shoots out, this one his left with a thin piece of plastic that states Fritz's credentials as a medical doctor, a cyberneticists, and so forth. There are so many letters after his name that anyone could confuse the abbreviations for another language.
Turning his head finally to look at assembled heroes. There is a subtle red glint in his eyes and he says, "What are you heroes of?"

Sal did his best letting Fritz pamper him like an old maid and finish off the hunk of cheddar cheese while watching the fantastic cyber knight speak to him. It was not easy to complete all three tasks at the same time but somehow he managed. Sal twitched his wiskard face and nodded to the knight, ” Sir William of the cyber knights, it is a special honor to make your acquaintance. Salvatore Squeaks at your service, and no apology necessary.

One of the blue glowing grenades on the bandolier fixed over Sal’s armor dropped admist all the fussing Fritz provided. Sal’s eyes went wide for a moment but he breathed a sigh of relief when nothing happened. He muttered picking it up, ” Would not be the first time one of these babies went off accidentally.” He scratched his chin with a mechanical cyber arm, ” Don’t want to loose another arm.”
As if forgetting that little thing happened he looked back up at the knight, ”I don’t suppose Sir William of the cyber knights, you might be heading somewhere full of people in need? Perhaps, Demons need slaying, vampires need staking, or a cheese monger needs pilfering of some sort?” Sal’s excited eyes betrayed his hope for the third option.

Fritz, done fussing with Sal's armor, collects the platter, and stands up. The cyborg's extra arms disappear beneath his armor. Not your typical cyborg, Fritz Schumacher looks like any large human male doctor. His cybernetics are not noticeable to any degree.

Tracers
Sal looked at his cybernetic arm that had replaced his normal arm. Then whispered back to @Fritz ” No... No tracers on me I took care of it when I chopped my arm off.”To everyone else he smiled and twitched his small rat tail happily, ” It was simply put My pleasure to as much as I could help ease the power armor through the rift. It was too my happy surprise my own fault that I got caught under foot. My sincerest apologies for any damages incurred.

Fritz grumbled. While he admired the work he had done on @Sal, it still was a painful reminder that he had also cut the little guys arm of because of the Coalition's tracers they placed in all the special projects. Sal's arm was the smallest piece of work he had done to date. Hopefully the new arm was not bothering him too much.
Fritz absent-mindingly scratched at his shoulder under his armor, forgetting that part of his body had been cybernetically replaced.

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
L.C. nods and takes the card, having a fair estimate of what it meant - he'd seen the like among the RCSG types he'd had to work with - egghead. "Formerly of the C.S.? Why'd you leave, if you don't mind me asking?"
However he answers, L.C. nods. "I left myself, so I get it. Formerly with 312th Commandos, Psi-Kappa Company. Left after a small disagreement regarding war crimes on civilian populations involving small amounts of thermo-nuclear ordinance." The sarcasm is slathered on with a spatula, but he continues. "Now I'm with the Tomorrow Legion, and we're making a difference. The 'hero' bit was us doing what it took to root out a collection of demons and scumbags that had taken up residence at the local orphanage. I'm just glad anyone got out of that hellhole. And that's not a colloquialism, it became a pit straight to one of the hell dimensions. We just got back."
He waits for a break in the conversation before keying his radio to the 99's frequency, and then to those used by the Legion generally. "L.C. to Brison, come in. This is 99s Community Outreach Team Lead to all Tomorrow Legion personal, please respond." He looks to those around. He is obviously not meaning those around him.

Fritz looks at @L.C., "I was part of Lone Star's Cybernetics Research and Development. A safe job away from the fighting. I don't like killing and have done everything possible to preserve life. I wasn't always like this." (Very Human for being Cyborg.)
"Command and my direct superiors thought it would be good for me to get some field experience. They sent me out with a retrieval platoon. Some of their "lab specimens" had escaped."
"Where we found ourselves was in a bayou with an island and whole mess of Black Market El Occulta folks. Ugly fire fight. Lots of dead and wounded I was not able to get to. And that is all I remember of the night."
"Six months later, I awoke in Special Observations, on a respirator, a heart monitor, a blood cleaning machine, and half a dozen other medical devices and instruments. The damn CS had kept me alive while trying to do my job of piecing people back together."
"To further the surgical insertion of a shapened medical instrument between my T3 and T4 vertebrae, they had given me full combat cyborg upgrades. Guess they figured it would help me lose my pacifist tendencies."
"It was not too long after that, that I met up with Mallory Malone, one of my departments empathic interns. She had connections outside of Lone Star and I paid a hefty sum to get myself and several others out."
Fritz scrutinizes the area behind where the 99th had ported or rifted in. Assessing landmarks and the time of day, Fritz comes to the conclusion, "A lot of people must be familiar with this particular rift. I am quite certain that it was the same one @Sal and I ported in on."

L.C. nods understandingly. "Hey, I was young and we were doing good work until we weren't. Honestly we tend to go after the same kinds of guys in the Legion. Asshole mages who want to hurt others, psychotic psychics who want to violate others, and heartless mercs who'd rather crap in someone's face than help them. Difference is we tend to know that we're doing good work in the Legion, not serving some power hungry politician's career or some PR bit for bring more communities under C.S. control. Big thing that's changed is we don't discriminate on which kids and civilians we're saving, unlike the C.S. I like that part."Maggie wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2019 7:59 pm”A small nuke?!

When @Fritz goes on about his own backstory, L.C. nods, taking it in, but not really digesting it. It's not that he isn't listening - he is and is even memorizing it. But he's not thinking too deeply on it yet.
L.C. allows himself to be led to the side. He is a bit disturbed about the arm and shrugs. "Ask him?" is about all he can offer in terms of suggestions. "Me, I'd get rid of it. Kinda creepy. But whatever you two decide. But if you do decide to destroy it, burn it completely. Use a plasma torch. No sense leaving something behind a scent tracker can use."
When the two return to the others is when he begins handing out orders.
L.C. gives her an apologetic shrug. "Yeah, we can get you some place to shower and I'm sure we can find you some clothes. There's a few tailors in town and some place we can find off the rack stuff that's decent. We'll get you a dress uniform once we're done at Castle Refuge, if you still want one. If not, I'm sure one of the tailors here in town would love to make you one or maybe something nice. Tell you what, I'll get it as a welcome back present." He grins a bit. He was liking the idea of having one of his little sisters around. "Oh, let's go park the Glitter Boy at the APC."
"Alright, Sir William, work out a watch schedule. I want two people at the APC at all times, but I also want us to get rooms at the Ladders. Everyone needs a shower and a soft bed for a bit. Work in our new folks. Leethe, help him out. I want you to get some practice at it. If we end up splitting up into three teams for any reason, I'll be tapping you as a fire team leader, so you might as well learn what XOs do." And in doing so he'd also laid out in no uncertain terms what the chain of command was: himself, Sir William, and then Leethe.

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Arriving at the old parking spot the APC is nowhere to be seen. Asking around you hear from other that Brison has been using it to bring in refugees from the wilds during the last 8 days. With the loss of the rest of the team and no way to get to refuge it was the only way he could help. When you arrive at Ladders they offer to store the Glitter Boy in the private garage free of charge. Allowing you to continue on in your immediate mission.L.C. wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2019 9:17 pm He grins a bit. He was liking the idea of having one of his little sisters around. "Oh, let's go park the Glitter Boy at the APC."
"Alright, Sir William, work out a watch schedule. I want two people at the APC at all times, but I also want us to get rooms at the Ladders. Everyone needs a shower and a soft bed for a bit. Work in our new folks. Leethe, help him out. I want you to get some practice at it. If we end up splitting up into three teams for any reason, I'll be tapping you as a fire team leader, so you might as well learn what XOs do." And in doing so he'd also laid out in no uncertain terms what the chain of command was: himself, Sir William, and then Leethe.

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Fritz has no aspiration of being a leader of men. He does care for those he is around but has no desire to be the one everyone runs to when the crap starts falling from the sky and such. He gladly leaves L.C. to organize his command.
He stores the removed limb and reminds himself to talk to @Sal about it.
Finding a suitable place to get changed and the necessary clothes, Fritz doctors the shirt and jacket to allow for easy extension and retraction of his "other arms". He joins the rest of the team and makes himself as indistinguisable as possible.

To @L.C., Maggie says, "Hey, I won't turn down a gift."
From there, she makes her way to Ladders, storing her Glitter Boy in the offered garage, but telling Steven, "Keep the car in low power mode, in case you need to come get me. And keep your audio and video feeds going, just in case, but don't be obvious about it. No need to announce you're here to anyone who doesn't need to know."
She's able to work her way through a quick store or two (don't look at her like that; she's a Psi-Ghost. You get what you get.) and gets herself properly attired for a visit to a swanky establishment.
Not exactly the kind of battle dress I've become accustomed to, she thinks.

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
As the heroes prepare themselves for the ride the decision to take a Rifts is almost obvious, even without their ride, the team will be able to get where needed much faster without the mobile command station. However, what was not expected was the call from Julian saying he solicited a couple of other line walkers to help him, you will be able to take the new ride after all.
The plan laid out sounds simple. Sal will create some devices that allow the team to go through imperceptible to potential threats and allowing solid positions to be obtained. Then after waiting a few seconds Maggie, Steven, Cpl Brison, and L.C. come through ready and expecting an ambush. The rest of the team will come through in the New Ride ready for action and manning the weapons systems.
Overall it is a simple plan that will allow crossing into potentially hostile territory blind, while minimizing casualties. The ritual takes nearly an hour to complete, finishing perfectly at noon, as Julian and his friends work on it the visual distortions in the field as the rift finally opens and all that can be sensed coming from the opening. It blazes with a purple and green light making it impossible to see through to the other side. Once the rift is open, they send you the signal to go through.
Sal, Sir William and Fritz move, each activating their devices before proceeding, as there is a hesitation for the count of 10 before the power armored team members go through taking up positions Maggie to the left, allowing Brison and L.C. to take the right. Finally Leethe drives the APC through the rift, the resistance from crushing trees on the other side is expected as the vehicle rolls through.

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Three invisibility devices with 20 PPE each. Fritz has one and Sir William has one... He made an other one for someone to take as well.
Sal twitched and pulled out a few tools he barrowed from the garage. He banged and flanked a glass bottle fixing a few glowing green crystals to it. After a heart beat he poured some psi cola into each bottle (3 in total). Finally he took out some white cheese, orderless and slightly creamy. Carefully he dropped a bit of cheese into each bottle and plugged them with a rubber stopper.
He smiled and passed a bottle to @Sir William Mahan, @Fritz. He also holds out one more bottle of liquid for another to take. ”Drink this if you may and you should turn invisible... If you are able to, And have the arcane inclination I would harness those green crystals to amp up the flavor making you ghost out.”
Sal for his part lowered his goggles and wrapped his dirty cloak tightly around his body. The goggles’ lens turned green and then the rat man disappeared!
He chuckled well concealed, ” Ok... If we are all ready, Let’s go save the day.”

Incase Fritz cannot activate it on his own, greater invisibility 14, 10 ppts left
Greater invisibility on Sir William, 11... 10 ppts left to maintain
Leethe and L.C. Invisibility 10, no PPE left
True Invisibility, exalted dark-sight, notice 13, 3 invisible gagets with 20PPE made

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Fritz nods to @Sal and quafs the elixir without a second to think. Bestto act and not think. Besides I trusst Sal, right?
The mutant mouse climbs up on Fritz and goes through pressure points with a small nobby "stick". The activator responds to the elixir in Fritz's system.

Sir William looks at the elixir and gravely says, "My thanks, friend Sal", then quaffs it.

Re: Welcome to Fort Wheaton
Fritz does his best to be stealthy. His android frame should make it easier than the full conversion borgs, but all that remains to be seen.

He walks cautiously through the obscured portal and begins trying to get adjusted as soon as he crosses the threshhold.Fritz
