Bugged: Special Investigation Team (Growler, Herra, Ozzati, Cailly, Sara)

Post by Freemage »

When you indicate a preference for joining the SIT, you're quietly ushered into another office. Police Chief Lowell Grant enters a few minutes later. "We're being a little discrete about this because we don't want vigilante mobs forming. But as non-residents, you may be able to ask questions where we can't. So, for the most part, do NOT present yourselves as officially working for the city, unless you don't think there's any other way to get the intel." He pulls out a thin file with some papers and memos inside it. "Here's all the data we've gotten so far about the disease spread--obviously, it's pretty spartan, but that's where you come in. As we mentioned before, this is either a deliberate bio-warfare attack, or a Typhoid Mary case. If the latter, we need 'Mary', whoever she is, brought in so we can administer a cure once we find it. If it's a deliberate act of bio-terrorism, we need to find out both who did it, and what the long-term goal is. It's likely, in the case of a deliberate action, that the perpetrators also have at least some information about the disease, so if at all possible, you should try to catch the ringleader alive. But dead is still preferable to 'at large', so if you don't have any other choice, waste him, her or them."

He indicates a rather meek man in glasses, the only other person in the room besides yourselves. "This is Nick Colton. He's going to be your contact in the field--we don't want you coming in every day and making a report."

Nick stands up and nods to you all, pushing up his glasses as he does so. "I'm in Room 708 at your hotel. I will be staying there constantly from this point forward, and have a direct land-line to City Hall, which will be useful since we're jamming radio use. In addition to tracking the spread of the disease back to its origins, you might want to keep an eye out for organized efforts to breach the quarantine--while we expect some attempts to be made just normally by individuals or small groups who have had enough, it's likely that the people behind this--assuming it's not a Typhoid Mary, of course--are going to be trying to get infected individuals out of the city, rather than try to escape themselves. After all, going themselves means risking getting shot in the woods, but if they can spread the disease to other towns, the quarantine will basically be over, because there's no point to it."

Instructions
We'll be using VV's rules for Opposed Investigations, with a few minor tweaks.

Investigation is going to be slow work. Every roll below takes 2 days, so this first set of rolls will cover days 2 & 3.
First, you should pick a Lead Investigator. This person can roll any of the following Skills:
Research (may use Investigator or Scholar Edges)
Intimidation or Persuasion (May use Streetwise Edge)--I will note that Intimidation has some downsides, but those are immediately evident.
Everyone else is working Support. You can use the above Skills, or other Skills if you can describe it in a useful fashion. Every support success adds +1 to the Lead; a Raise means you roll on the Gumshoe Table, below--you can either take the Gumshoe Roll, OR you can just add +2 to the Lead.
At this point in time, there are no scene modifiers to your rolls. Note that Hindrances to Persuasion apply if you're using that Skill--only the D-Bee Hindrance doesn't apply (since D-Bees are common here, and mostly tolerated, outside a small percentage of the human population). On the other hand, Persuasion also has one option no other skill gets--you can throw down cash to boost your Support roll (the Lead cannot do this, however): 5K gets you +1; 10K gets you +2; 25K gets you +3; 50K gets you +4.

Currently, you have 8 Morale Tokens, while the opposition has 10. (They have a one-day head start on you, and active contingency plans.) So they will be getting a +2 bonus to their roll, and they do get support rolls, as well.

Gumshoe Table
2d6
2 Recover 1 Token
3-4 Opposing hero is -2 to Spirit roll for Resolve check
5-9 Add +2 to leaders roll
10-11 Apply -2 to opposing leader’s roll
12 Big Break. Opposition immediately loses one token (this doesn’t subtract from his Research or Thievery roll but does cause a Resolve check even if he wins)

I Want To Do All The Things: Anyone rolling both for the QEB and the SIT will need to take a -2 MAP to both sets of rolls.

Herra wastes little time getting to work, she has a passing familiarity with the city but also knows how to spread her wings a little. Returning to the Kingsdale home for the friendless she asks around about who would like to make a little extra money then sends them to watch various exit and entry points to the city to determine if anyone is making an organized effort to leave the city. Sher promises to split 5,000 credits among them with a bonus to the one who finds out anything important.While her network spreads about the city, not unlike a virus, Herra goes to the hospital to watch for large movements of patients, she takes up residence in a shop nearby to watch from all hours of the day, laying down a big tip to keep the owner happy (5,000).

During his QEB patrols, Growler sends Pack Leader SnackHappy a quick message and sneaks off when he happens to hears something that could lead to some leads to find the Typhoid Mary or whoever is intentionally spreading the disease. While he does not actually catch anyone, he finds some hints at some plans of someone behind the scenes. Passing these hints on to the rest of the investigation team, Growler hopes that they can hurt any contingency plans that they have in place.

Sara sat down with some of the earliest patients to have started showing symptoms of the disease. She talked with them about what they remembered, who they came in contact with. Pulling out a couple psychically sensitive crystals, she put together a device to allow her to read their minds and help them remember, leading them in guided meditation to recall details their senses had picked up but their memories weren’t recalling.

Naturally, Cailly finds herself falling in with the wrong crowds. She easily slips into her "criminal" persona and mingles, buying a few beers, refusing even more. She discretely inquires as to who might have been the first people to show up with this disease, and relays any information to the rest of the group.

Sadly, the SIT has some difficulties getting much more information than they were given in their initial briefing--they are able to confirm the initial outbreak points, and start gathering info about who was seen there on the day the virus was being spread around.

However, Growler has one advantage--he was at City Hall all day working on permits, and of course, his nose is fully capable of handling diverse crowds. And while the city is cosmopolitan in its makeup, he does recall that he smelled a much larger number of Grackletooths there than might normally be expected.

Taking this as a leading question works out--other people, when prompted, do remember seeing Grackles in the area, though few remember any details other than the obvious (claws, tails, big).

Still, after two days of investigation, that's not a whole lot of results. Caily may be feeling a bit dispirited--especially as the overall mood of the populace turns a bit sour. The orderly marches feature a lot more angry shouting and demands for more action by City Hall.

Instructions
By and large, the same set of rolls, but there's some wrinkles. This will be for Days 4 & 5.
First off, Caily needs to roll Spirit, TN 4, to NOT suffer a lack of Resolve. Failure means a -2 penalty to this round of rolls.

First, you should pick a Lead Investigator. This person can roll any of the following Skills:
Research (may use Investigator or Scholar Edges)
Intimidation or Persuasion (May use Streetwise Edge)--I will note that Intimidation has some downsides, but those are immediately evident.
Everyone else is working Support. You can use the above Skills, or other Skills if you can describe it in a useful fashion. Every support success adds +1 to the Lead; a Raise means you roll on the Gumshoe Table, below--you can either take the Gumshoe Roll, OR you can just add +2 to the Lead.
Persuasion rolls (only) suffer a -1 Penalty, due to the increased tension in the general population. On the other hand, Persuasion also has one option no other skill gets--you can throw down cash to boost your Support roll (the Lead cannot do this, however): 5K gets you +1; 10K gets you +2; 25K gets you +3; 50K gets you +4.

Currently, you have 6 Morale Tokens, while the opposition has 8. So they still will be getting a +2 bonus to their roll, and they do get support rolls, as well.

Gumshoe Table
2d6
2 Recover 1 Token
3-4 Opposing hero is -2 to Spirit roll for Resolve check
5-9 Add +2 to leaders roll
10-11 Apply -2 to opposing leader’s roll
12 Big Break. Opposition immediately loses one token (this doesn’t subtract from his Research or Thievery roll but does cause a Resolve check even if he wins)

I Want To Do All The Things: Anyone rolling both for the QEB and the SIT will need to take a -2 MAP to both sets of rolls.

Noticing the curiously large population of Grackles, Caily is determined to see if this is actually correct. Being a rational person, she never trusts her perception, so instead she seeks out hard data to verify if there is indeed a spike in the Grackletooth population. She finds an opening when she notices the local branch of the postal system closes at noon for lunch. She goes around back, easily pops the lock and prints off the official census data that the city records and updates on a regular basis.

Travelling through the city, Growler makes special effort to follow random Grackles remembering the scent he smelled in the City Hall. Although he is not risking opening up his environmental protection in order to scent them, he tries to commit to memory any visual and audio details that might help him identify the any that he noticed in City Hall the other day... and to recognize them in the future. While he has spent a lot of time with SnackHappy and has met a few others Grackles, the Coalition did not stress Grackle individuality since he was to concentrate on Mages. Hopefully keen ears would help him identify any Grackles of interest.

With the new knowledge about the grackles, Sara went around to the initial outbreak points. She found the city’s security cameras and downloaded the digital data so they could go through it, maybe try and identify some of the grackles that might be on the footage in the area around the times when the outbreaks occurred.

Re: Bugged: Special Investigation Team (Growler, Herra, Ozzati, Cailly, Sara)

Post by Peta Chante »

Frustrated by their lack of progress, Herra takes the lead, certain she can do things better. Not one for tact she goes with the more direct route and begins questioning people, careful not to just dominate them and make them tell her the answers. Nonetheless, she exudes power and most people gleefully comply. Starting at the outbreak points she begins to ask people nearby who they had contact with over the last seven days, trying to piece together a common denominator.

"I am trying to find out what's going on, the Tomorrow Legion is so very concerned for the people of this city. Could you please tell me your movements for the last seven days?"
