Re: Paths of Adventure: Advanced
Decision: Talk to the creature about various subjects....
-----
<So, can ya tell me what you're doing here? Or even why you're here? Last I knew this building was full of people...> Sarah asked.
W-well... all I can really remember is me and my sister's signing up to some sorta medical test, and then after that... I woke up in the basement here... there was so much shouting and screaming when I first got up I was confused.... I lashed out, I think I broke something.... and then it was quiet. Except for the odd beast that wanders in, but I just chased them off. And then, you came in... I smelled the smell of one of my sisters on you, and I guess I lost my head...
<So you's related to that, er... snake/tentacle/human hybrid?> Sarah asked.
What you mean?!? the ghostly creature asked, and Sarah suddenly felt like a ice pick embedding into her head, causing her to wince in pain. Shortly afterwards, the pain would subside and the ghost's face would seem more ashen.
O-oh my.... so I wasn't the only one changed then...
<Ya coulda just asked ya know!!!> Sarah hissed, massaging her temple and quite easily guessing the beast had read her short-term memory.
<Still, by mentioning 'Sisters' do ya mean there's another one of you?>
Y-yes... she replied.
Another sister and our brother, though our brother didn't join us in the study.
That you know of, Sarah thought, remembering the first 'Horror' genus she ran into. Deciding not to go into too much detail, however, she spoke up again.
<What about these 'bad men' you mentioned earlier? Do ya know anything about them?>
The creature shook it's head.
N-no. They were wrecking the equipment here, saying they didn't want the 'live lovers' using it. I couldn't tell if they were just being vandalistic or deranged... Probably both.
<Sounds like a death cult all right,> Sarah replied, her face souring.
<Hmm... hey, I noticed ya kinda try to shy away from that bare wire earlier... how come?>
Well.... she replied, looking a bit embarrased,
I kinda loose my ghostly effects if I hit into exposed electricity... Going through the wires and stuff seems safe but break the wire open and it kinda hurts. And not having legs for a few hours does make it a bit more complicated to move....
<I see...> Sarah thought.
<Hey, I got a idea....>

Bargaining time. She's a most peculiar specimen, and a friend in the area is definately a plus, especially if she's willing to keep the Tompson Building revatively clear of trouble for us. However, there's no guarentee she'll not want something in return if we ask, so I gues it's up to her frorm there.
1. Offer to
a1. Have her guard the building
a2. Have her let us experiment on her
a3. Have her allow more use of our body one way or another
-for-
b1. Trying to find a cure for her
b2. Attempting to locate her remaining sister
b3. Whatever she may have in her headd
2. Other?

Quick check-in with goal status:
1. Locate the source of the new breed of mutations
-Ghost girl mentioned she may have broke something when she woke up. It's a bit of a far-reach but perhaps something iin the basement will show me what's the source
2. Find the Death-Cult responsible for that first painful deathtrip.
-No good solid leads. They've left spray tags in the free run routes and tried to vandalize the only local NecroTech for at least two suburbs, but I still got no solid leads on who or what is behind the cult
3. Gain more info on the Horror Genus
-Face to face encounters of at least 2 Horror-genus projects
-the Sakura, who whilest playful is gigantic, serpentine, and has more then enough tentacle apendages for half the remaining female survivors. Sampled and Serum'd. Yet to field-test in zombie form
-Unnamed, yet to scan. A spectral being which besides mood swings in the company of the living is rather stable and morose. Weak to bare electricity and could be a useful friend.
-Unknown. The third of these sisters, though the species of the creature is thus far unknown.
4. Attempt to find a way to 'cure' the mutation varients
-Having only ran into one of these varients I am unsure if I have enough samples of the Mutagen to create a fullproof cure.
