"No, that's alright.  This is not a technical issue, it is obviously one of cleaning."  Peter-R sorts the 'bot parts into usable and unusable, not surprisingly the usable parts is smaller than the unusable one.

A small chuckle escape Peter-R's lips as he slips into the transbot with Ginger-R.

"There is 745 broken parts and 135 not broken parts sir..."  Peter-R frowns and then giggles, "Err... ma'am?"

From above, you hear the booming voice of one of The Computer's speakers.  "Citizen, is there a transbot waiting for you?  If so, why have you not boarded the waiting transbot?"

Peter and Rob jump on the transbot, and it carries you away with a grinding of gears and a distinct smell of overheating machine oil.  You are alone in the transbot.  No other citizen seems to have dared enter the transbot after the accident.

The transbot interior looks like any bus or subway car.  Seats, handrails, loyalty posters--more seats--that's about it.

A minute or so into its journey the transbot enters a dark tunnel.

A few hundred yards into the tunnel, the vehicle grinds to a halt.  The lights go out.  A recorded voice says, "Attention, passengers.  The Computer's loyal servants in Central Processing have introduced schedule adjustments to improbe efficiency.  To this end, this vehicle will pause for two minutes before resuming its journey.  To conserve energy the lights will now be dimmed.  Do not be alarmed.  The lights will be turned on again when the journey resumes.

You are in pitch darkness.  You begin to wonder if you will be eaten by a gru.

"Whose hand is on my knee?  Oh, never mind.  That's mine."

"OOO trapped in a dark tunnel for two minutes, reminds me of some old boyfriends I used to have" Vixcis says sexily.

In the darkness, Rob whispers "Isn't this just like that scene on the vidshow 'When Good Bots Go Bad'? Those clones were stuck in there for hours!!! One of them just barely escaped being eaten by a gru!!"

CL huddles in the corner squeaking queitly to himself before saying, "Come on Vicsis, one credit says your eaten by a  gru."

Peter-R waits for the announced two minute "...178 seconds... ...179 seconds... ...120 seconds!" period before  saying, "That wasn't a very happy comment.  The lighting is all wrong and no one can see it happen."

You suddenly see the brief flash of a laser gun, but you don't know who fired it.


Gunther moans in pain.

90 seconds until lights go back on...89...88...

Peter-R breaks out into hysterical laugher.  "We're going- We're going to- to- to-  die! Peter-R is going to kill- I mean Rob-R is going to kill us all."

Passing out some perversity points.  As  you can probably guess, active participation, roleplaying your tics, and trying to meet your goals (both for the computer and your secret society or other goals) help increase the points:

Rob speaks up regarding Peter's accusation, "Calm down Peter! That wasn't me who fired. Haven't you ever seen the vidshow 'Die Hard, Be Happy'? A clone made an accusation without checking the facts and was promptly terminated. I have some personality stabilizer tablets if you need one."

Ginger says, "I think I want to know what was on those secret notes.  Are you okay, Gunther?  Maybe you can attach that robot hand if yours gets blown off."  This last sentence is said with enough acerbic tone that you know she's not too fond of robots.

"Silly Clone, if we knew what was on the notes, they wouldn't be secret, would they?"

Peter-R starts to clean the wound.

Gunther is shocked, but not suprised that someone was shot. He is suprised however, that it was he who was shot. He keeps his composure enough say "I don't think I'll be needing the hand, but my side sure does hurt a lot." His words aren't muffled this time, meaning that he probably dropped the paper. A moment later though, everyone can hear the sound of teeth solidly connecting with metal and what must be constant chewing noises. He seems to be gnawing on said robot hand.

It is still pitch black and you can't see anything.

A moment after Gunther says he's okay, you hear another laser go off and see a beam break the darkness.

75 seconds until lights come on...74...73...


If anyone else wants to do anything while it is pitch black and no one can see you, the clock is ticking.

You can also use perversity points as needed (except Gunther can't use them on himself).

Because something interesting is happening (and being Wounded affects what you can do in rounds), we will now proceed in "Rounds."

A round is not an exact measurement of time.  It is simply the amount of time it takes for your character to do something interesting.

In other words, everyone must say what they are doing the next ROUND.  After everyone says what they want to do, then I start rolling and things start happening.  Absence of more than a day means that you give up your right to do anything interesting that ROUND.

"Ho-ho-ho, wait! I'm not injured, why am I trying to clean my own wound?  Gunther-R, where are you?  Are you bleeding a lot?  Try not to stain anything."

Rob, reacting to the second burst of laser fire, says "No, no, no! This is not like 'When Good Bots Go Bad'. This is more like the 42nd episode of 'Ninja Warrior Bots' where that bot had to dodge laser fire to complete the course!"

Ginger says, "Gunther, are you sure you're okay?"

"Maybe he's dead.  Does anyone have the proper equipment with with to dispose of a body?"

"I've been better," says Gunther-R's voice from a lower altitude.

"Make up your mind, Gunther-R. Are you dead or alive?"

He's perfectly fine, someones gun must have misfired, it's only a flesh wound" Vicsis assures from the darkness.
